"Immortal Master An, there's nothing I can do about the missing Immortal Materials. Go back."
The old man in charge of managing supplies spoke helplessly.
The Peak Master had consumed too many resources over the years, leaving him with barely any profit to skim.
Jiang Ping An did not leave. Holding his Storage Treasure, he suddenly shouted in deliberate fury:
"This is unfair! We're all contributing to the Immortal Abode, so why are our resources being withheld? We need to improve our forging skills too! We need to earn resources for cultivation too!"
Upon hearing this, the anger in the surrounding Refining Masters who had come to collect resources was ignited.
"Exactly! Why are our resources being withheld?"
"I could have broken through already, but with fewer resources, I have no way to improve my forging skills and make that breakthrough."
"If this keeps up, I won't even want to stay in the Heavenly Orchid Immortal Abode."
The Refining Masters in the hall began to complain. Of course, they only dared to complain; no one dared seek out Peak Master Zhang Zhiyuan or Abode Master Ouyang Hongyun.
As the Heavenly Orchid Immortal Abode's only Refining Master, Zhang Zhiyuan held an extremely lofty position within the abode. No one could shake his standing.
Seeing everyone's emotions rise, Jiang Ping An raised his voice again. "Since everyone is dissatisfied with this matter and wants me to speak to the Abode Master, then I shall represent all the Refining Masters and discuss this with him!"
Having said that, he went to see the Abode Master in "righteous indignation."
The Refining Masters in the hall were dumbfounded.
What was going on? When had they ever said they wanted him to see the Abode Master?
Still, having someone step forward was the best possible outcome.
