A Humblebragging Haymaker Sweeps Across the Four Continents!

Mu Bai was crying her eyes out right now...

The other disciples from the Muyue Kingdom almost buried their heads in their crotches.

Mu Bai quickly recounted the whole story of the furnace explosion to Senior Brother Xinghe.

The alchemy capabilities of the Muyue Kingdom have reached a bottleneck, and they need to consolidate their strengths for a period of time before they can continue to improve.

During the sedimentation process, Mu Bai suggested that they couldn't just let it settle like this; they also needed to come up with some inventions and creations...

After all, our Muyue Kingdom doesn't have any special abilities, nor has it made any contributions to the sect... We can't just continue like this, accomplishing nothing day after day, can we...?

Look at the Zang Ling; even that Evil Spirit created Blood Spirit Stones for our Vast Heaven Holy Land. If an Evil Spirit can do so much, why should our Muyue Kingdom be considered useless?

Therefore, Mu Bai immediately convened a meeting with the many alchemy disciples of the Spirit Crane Palace.

At the meeting, everyone brainstormed ideas, but Mu Bai said, "Although we alchemy disciples may lack skill, ability, and quick thinking, and are not strong in alchemy and therefore not very valuable, we cannot lack in spirit..."

We must come up with a way to contribute to the sect.

After much deliberation, Mu Bai finally proposed that since the quality of the pills could not be improved, they should start with the raw materials.

Although the various elixirs refined by the Muyue Kingdom are priceless, the resources and materials consumed by the Muyue Kingdom are equally valuable.

After all, sometimes input and output are directly proportional.

So Mu Bai suggested that we could definitely focus our efforts on this area... Could we replace those valuable rare and precious medicinal herbs with lower-quality ones?

If you can still make the same elixir using the lowest quality herbs, wouldn't you say that's a huge profit?

If we can't improve quality, then we'll cut costs...

Mu Bai said to Senior Brother Xinghe, "Look, although our Muyue Kingdom is not very capable, our disciples are still quite diligent. With everyone's research, we have actually achieved some modest success."

We can barely replace 80% of the rare and precious medicinal herbs with low-quality ones... In this way, we've saved nearly 80% of the costs...

I, Mu Bai, was just thinking about whether I could completely replace it today... and then the furnace exploded... Now it seems that the capabilities of our Muyue Kingdom are indeed as I, Mu Bai, said—they're simply not up to par...

We can only replace up to 80% at most; the remaining 20% are beyond our capacity to replace in the short term... I apologize for the poor quality, Senior Brother Xinghe...

Chu Xinghe was unaware that he had made a fool of himself in front of Senior Brother Xinghe!

Chu Xinghe knew, "This Mu Bai, you're so shameless, even your Senior Brother Xinghe wants to laugh..."

You call this something that's not presentable?

Saving 80% of costs? Are you kidding me? My Voodoo Arts isn't even as bad as yours...

In terms of overall alchemy ability and potential, Chu Xinghe knew that Mu Bai and the others were indeed inferior to him, who had inherited the Voodoo Arts.

After all, although the Muyue Kingdom was powerful, its tradition of Voodoo Arts was a legacy containing countless magical abilities.

For example, those heaven-defying pills are something that Mu Bai and his group cannot easily refine. These are unique abilities of Voodoo Arts. Even if Chu Xinghe wanted to teach them, without any inheritance, even if Mu Bai wanted to catch up, the time it would take would be immeasurable.

However, Mu Bai can't catch up in terms of upper limit height, but in terms of horizontal stretching, Mu Bai has reached its maximum...

Regarding those high-grade pills, Mu Bai has already reached his limit...

Before, Chu Xinghe watched Mu Bai and the others making a killing selling medicine and thought, "Go ahead and sell... You've already reached your limit. Even if you sell more, that's all we'll earn. You can't possibly rip me off again, can you?"

But now Chu Xinghe realizes... he can...

The quality just can't be improved; they've cut corners on the raw materials...

Doesn't saving costs equate to gaining resources?

What happened to the promise that my word, Chu Xinghe, would be law?

What happened to the Spirit Crane Palace's alleged losses? What kind of losses are these...?

And Mu Bai... can you please shut up if you have nothing better to do...? What do you mean the Muyue Kingdom has achieved nothing and accomplished nothing?

Do you guys have any shame? Your Versailles-related capabilities have already swept across Three Continents... no... Four Continents...

Even if you bring the Evil Spirit Clan over, they will all die under your Versailles Fist!

Is this what they call appearing meek and submissive on the surface, but actually striking with deadly force?

Chu Xinghe didn't want to say another word to Mu Bai. At the same time, Chu Xinghe also realized, to hell with the Star Divination Art... to hell with the power of words...

This Star Divination Art is a scam... an absolute scam!

This time, however, Chu Xinghe didn't return to his room, but instead strolled all the way to the Azure Wood Palace...

Feng Yuzheng has recently returned to the Azure Wood Palace; after all, let's not forget that Feng Yuzheng is a disciple of the Azure Wood Palace!

I stayed at the Artifact Refining Palace before because I was researching the Flute of Space and Time, but now that I've finished my research, it's natural for me to return to the Azure Wood Palace.

Upon entering Azure Wood Palace, the junior brothers and sisters he encountered along the way greeted Senior Brother Xinghe with smiles, and in the past, some junior brothers and sisters would occasionally come up to tease Senior Brother Xinghe.

But now that Chu Xinghe is in the Vast Heaven Holy Land, absolutely no one in the area dares to joke around with Senior Brother Xinghe as they used to.

This is not to say that Chu Xinghe is putting on airs or acting high and mighty. On the contrary, everyone in Vast Heaven Holy Land knows that Senior Brother Xinghe has never changed. Senior Brother Xinghe will always be the Senior Brother Xinghe who will definitely do everything he can to help you no matter what problem you encounter.

Everyone knows that even if you joke around with Senior Brother Xinghe, he will never be unhappy.

Senior Brother Xinghe may remain unchanged, but we disciples cannot.

Senior Brother Xinghe now represents the entire Vast Heaven Holy Land. Everyone knows that Senior Brother Xinghe is the face of the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

It's fine to joke around with Senior Brother Xinghe at home, of course, but if it becomes a habit... what will outsiders think if they see it one day?

Won't people say that the disciples of Vast Heaven Holy Land are unruly? Won't they say that Senior Brother Xinghe lacks authority?

Therefore, although the disciples were still happy and relaxed in front of Senior Brother Xinghe, they consciously refrained from teasing him.

After all, those in positions of authority should possess the dignity befitting their status. This is how all the disciples of the Vast Heaven Holy Land are helping Senior Brother Xinghe establish his authority.

The Grand Elder didn't say much to Xinghe about the matter of Xinghe's dignity, because he knew that Xinghe was a very opinionated child Xinghe knew what he could and couldn't do.

Moreover, Xinghe is different from other geniuses. Take Zheng Yu for example... Before Zheng Yu had secured his position, he was all smiles and laughter. But now that Zheng Yu has reached his current position, everyone below the elders of Martial Emperor City behaves respectfully in front of Zheng Yu.

That was Zheng Yu's authority as a superior!

The same applies to the leaders of the other Ten Great Sects and even the major sects. When you reach a certain level, you should have the dignity that comes with that level.

But the Grand Elder knew that Xinghe was different... Xinghe never considered himself a superior, because those who consider themselves superiors cannot be considered true superiors.

A true leader is one who never changes, yet those below him unconsciously place him in the highest position.

If you think you're in a superior position, you're not really in a superior position; at most, you just have a little power and influence...

A true leader is one who remains unchanged, yet others place you in a superior position and proactively consider how to establish authority for you.

The authority of a leader is not necessarily expressed by a stern face that makes subordinates afraid to even breathe.

A true leader is one who can express all his thoughts and decisions without questioning them, no matter how outrageous his decisions may seem; his subordinates will still believe he is right!

The Grand Elder also told Ma Liang these words, because Ma Liang had been acting like the Future Grand Elder for a while, and after hearing the Grand Elder's words, Ma Liang suddenly realized the truth.

This is Senior Brother Xinghe... Senior Brother Xinghe walks the true path...

I, Ma Liang, have become obsessed... I Ma Liang Zheng Yu speaking so powerfully and arrogantly outside, and I even wanted to imitate him...

Looking back now, why did I, Ma Liang, abandon Senior Brother Xinghe's great path and choose to learn from Zheng Yu? Didn't I just narrow my own path?

At the same time, Ma Liang also realized that Senior Brother Xinghe was indeed Senior Brother Xinghe. He had entered the sect in the same batch as Senior Brother Xinghe, and he was even the number one in that batch.

But look...

Senior Brother Xinghe has never asked anything of the sect, nor has he ever cared about any status or prestige. But unknowingly, from the Holy Master and the Grand Elder down to all the disciples except Chu Cheng, everyone has long placed Senior Brother Xinghe at an insurmountable height.

When you meet Senior Brother Xinghe, you don't need to stand at attention or act trembling with fear... because respect isn't something you put on your face or say; it comes from the heart.

It was from that time onwards that Ma Liang always followed Senior Brother Xinghe's path. Ma Liang remained the same Ma Liang who, if you made a mistake and I caught you, I would definitely punish you severely, but if you encountered trouble, Senior Brother Ma Liang risk his life to help you solve it.

In the past, some junior disciples would privately say to Senior Brother Ma Liang, " We support you in becoming the Grand Elder in the Future."

But now Ma Liang has given these disciples a severe reprimand!

After all, the Grand Elder is right; the Future Grand Elder of the Vast Heaven Holy Land cannot focus solely on one palace or one small circle.

The Grand Elder is tasked with helping Senior Brother Xinghe manage the entire Vast Heaven Holy Land. If he resorts to forming cliques and trying to win people over, he certainly won't last long.

To forge iron, one must be strong oneself!

Learn from Senior Brother Xinghe, do your best, and contribute to the Holy Land. You don't need to ask for anything in return; the reward will come to you naturally!

Chu Xinghe didn't know how Ma Liang pursued the Great Dao, but Chu Xinghe only wanted to find the murderer...

Come on, come on... This Evil God's Bone Flute came to our Vast Heaven Holy Land without a second thought, fine, I don't care whether Meng You lives or dies, but I, Chu Xinghe, still don't know how the Nightmare Evil Lord died...

With one Nightmare Evil Lord fallen, seventy-eight Dark Moon Evil Lords are about to rise...

Even if I, Chu Xinghe, die, at least let me die knowing why!
