Rumors and Gossip
Shi Yue had no spare hands available for the time being, so he had no choice but to recruit a batch of cultivators and have them handle some less important matters. Su Sheng's cultivation was low, and he was easy to control, so he was the perfect person to take care of some of Sacred Void Sect's daily chores.
"Thanks to the Supreme Elder's blessing, our sect has developed smoothly over the past few years. No faction dares oppose Sacred Void Sect. By the way, Supreme Elder, this disciple has something important to report." Su Sheng spoke somewhat mysteriously.
"What is it? Just say it." Shi Yue's tone was calm.
Su Sheng took out a Green Jade Box and handed it to Shi Yue, saying respectfully, "Supreme Elder, this is a spirit bean. Not long ago, our people found one and immediately sent it up. This disciple thought of you at once."
Shi Yue's interest was piqued. He opened the Green Jade Box and saw a pale yellow spirit bean inside. Spiritual Patterns covered its surface, and it brimmed with spiritual energy.
"How was this spirit bean found? Tell me in detail," Shi Yue instructed in a low voice.
Su Sheng didn't dare delay and recounted what had happened.
Over the past few years, Sacred Void Sect's reputation had risen greatly, and it had absorbed many small factions. One Song Family had offered a spirit bean.
"The Song Family? How did they come to possess a spirit bean? Did you investigate the family's origins?"
Spirit beans were no ordinary things. A small faction couldn't produce one.
"I investigated. The Song Family is a Cultivation Family with a thousand years of history. They once had a Spirit Transformation cultivator. The spirit bean is an ancestral treasure of theirs.
