Reborn As A Cute Loli

There are two ways to enter the Cloud Pill Sect as a special enrollment student. One is by meeting the requirements and completing a series of demanding tests for genius pill refiners. The second is by getting the recommendation of at least three sect elders or the Grand Elder.

Not many go through the first route as it is at least ten times more complicated than the common entrance test. On the other hand, the second is for talented close descendants or disciples of elders.

Still, becoming a special enrollment student through the second route is also not easy. Elders only have a single recommendation slot each year, and they tend to be very stingy with it. There's no way around it--it's their names and reputation on the line. If they recommend an incompetent candidate, they would be laughed at by their peers.

As early as a year ago, the Yan Clan has made preparations for Rinley's enrollment at the Cloud Pill Sect. They bought a huge mansion on the Heavenly Firmament Realm, created a special knight division to be Rinley's guards... and even contacted the Cloud Pill Sect to conduct a special test for Rinley's admission.

At first, the representatives of the Cloud Pill Sect were quite skeptical. Their sect only accepts a thousand outer sect disciples, a hundred inner sect disciples and three special enrollment disciples every year, most of which were genius descendants or personal disciples who have been learning alchemy since they learned how to read.

Even if the Yan Clan was a major power, how can a clan who specializes in combat and weaponsmithing foster an alchemy genius like those especially taught and raised by their honorable elders?

However, just after a few tests on Rinley and they were all mind-blown. Such strong soul, control of fire, and understanding of medicinal herbs. If this little girl didn't become an alchemist, it would be a sin!

As a result, Rinley hadn't finished all the tests yet when the elders stuffed her with a golden special enrollment pass amidst the smug faces of her cousins and uncles. The clan was even able to ask for some concessions to the sect.

First, Rinley wouldn't be forced to accept a Master. He can choose freely on her own, and no one has the right to use vile means to influence her decision. This is good. This way, they would have a fair chance to compete, or so the elders thought.

Second, aside from the ten attendants-slash-bodyguards below the Immortal Realm that special admission students can bring in their private courtyard in the sect, Rinley can have an additional expert at her side. As long as the said expert does not reveal himself to others, does not disturb the normal operations of the sect and only uses his powers to defend Rinley from life-threatening attacks.

Third, Rinley would have the freedom to choose which lectures she would attend. If she likes, she can even just completely disregard all lectures and use all her time to concoct pills.

Fourth, Rinley will get twice the amount of medicinal herbs each month compared to other disciples. If it is still enough she can use contribution points to exchange herbs at half the price. This would help Rinley improve faster. In their view, these concessions in exchange for a genius pill refiner and a good relationship to the reclusive Yan Clan is worth it. It's not like a little girl can use that much herbs anyway.

Well, they are very wrong. Rinley's goal is to empty at least half of their herb hall. They don't know how much their hearts will ache when Rinley starts her non-stop experiments.
