Come, One Bag Each

"Don't, don't!"

"This is far too precious!"

Sect Master True Lord Yuntian spoke repeatedly, seeming to refuse, yet both hands clutched the Enlightenment Tree Leaves tightly as he kept stuffing them into his robes.

"Sect Master, such a supreme treasure is surely meant to be divided among everyone. How can you keep it all for yourself?"

Gouyuan Peak Master True Lord Gouyuan knew that this treasure was definitely meant to be shared among them.

Seeing True Lord Yuntian trying to swallow it all himself, he immediately flew into a rage, shouting as he reached out to snatch it.

"Sect Master, where is your righteousness? Where is your pride? Have you started shamelessly throwing your face away?"

Tianji Peak Master True Lord Tianji was an old Daoist with a black beard. He realized that old fellow True Lord Yuntian was about to play dirty.

He immediately flicked his horsetail whisk and raised a hand, casting Sleeve Universe in an attempt to take away the Enlightenment Tree Leaves.

But True Lord Yuntian had them pressed down tightly, and they could not be taken away at all.

True Lord Tianji, unable to collect the tea leaves, instantly grew anxious. He rushed forward, seized True Lord Yuntian by the neck, and roared:

"Boundless Heavenly Venerate, these belong to everyone! You cannot keep them all for yourself!"

"Sect Master, let go! We'll split them evenly!"

The five Peak Masters and the Sect Master began brawling in the sky without a shred of dignity, one yanking hair while another pulled beards!

Even True Lord Xiaxuan, the only beautiful female Peak Master, joined the battlefield with the Divine Whip in hand.

The Divine Whip specifically lashed at True Lord Yuntian's backside.

Smack! Smack! Smack!

The crisp sounds were deafening!

"What the hell? Why are they fighting?"

"Look, the Sect Master and the five Peak Masters are fighting!"

"True Lord Xiaxuan's outer robe was almost torn off by True Lord Tianji! Look... True Lord Xiaxuan is furious—she's using a divine ability!"

"Something's not right. Hasn't True Lord Xiaxuan been stuck at the early Heavenly Human Realm for nearly a hundred years? How did she suddenly erupt with mid-stage Heavenly Human Realm cultivation?"

"Yeah, hasn't True Lord Tianji been stalled at the early Heavenly Human Realm for nearly two hundred years? Yet he's actually erupted with late-stage Heavenly Human Realm cultivation!"

"Did the Peak Masters all hide their cultivation? They've hidden themselves so deeply—worthy of being Peak Masters!"

Many of the stronger disciples of the Kaoshan Sect raised their heads, staring at the battlefield high above in amazement.

This was not the first time they had seen the Sect Master and Peak Masters fight!

It seemed to happen a few times every month.

For some unknown reason, they would be talking one moment, then suddenly start fighting.

"Tsk, tsk, that old fellow True Lord Tianji is really wicked. Of all the clothes he could tear, he specifically went after True Lord Xiaxuan's."

The many elders stood below with their hands behind their backs, watching the battlefield cheerfully as they offered commentary.

They had long since grown accustomed to it.

Sometimes, they even took part in the group brawls.

In the Kaoshan Sect, who had not fought the Sect Master before?

It would be embarrassing to say it aloud.

A powerful elder smiled faintly and stroked his long beard. "Why do I feel that they've all hidden their cultivation?"

Another elder nodded. "Indeed, just like you. You've been stuck in the Divine Infant Realm for a long time, haven't you? Go on, how much have you hidden?"

"Cough, cough... Why did you suddenly drag me into this?!"

The powerful elder coughed awkwardly, stubbornly refusing to admit that he had hidden his cultivation.

"How outrageous! For the sake of mere Enlightenment Tree Leaves, do you still have any regard for me, your Sect Master?"

True Lord Yuntian roared. By now, his face was bruised and swollen, without a single intact patch left on it.

True Lord Gouyuan had seized his beard, True Lord Xiaxuan had grabbed his hair, True Lord Tianji was choking his neck, while True Lord Wuji and True Lord Dishén each hugged one of his legs, leaving him unable to move.

Yet he still refused to let go of the Enlightenment Tree Leaves in his robes.

"Sect Master, Senior Uncles, talk things out properly! They're just Enlightenment Tree Leaves, there's no need to..."

Hua Yunfei stood awkwardly to one side, wanting to lend a hand but having no idea where to start.

"There is every need! Every need!"

In response to Hua Yunfei's words, the five Peak Masters became even more agitated and shouted in unison.

A single sip of tea brewed from Enlightenment Tree Leaves could send one into a state of enlightenment!

Even a problem that had trapped someone for a hundred years would be understood in an instant!

One's cultivation would also rise as naturally as water flowing downhill!

This was not the first time Hua Yunfei had given them something like this, so they understood. They understood very well!

How could such an important treasure be monopolized by the Sect Master?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Seeing the fight grow fiercer and fiercer, Hua Yunfei had no choice but to intervene.

Great Transformation Universe!

This powerful spatial divine ability communicated with the Heaven and Earth Great Dao. Runes surged forth, shattering the space occupied by the six men and instantly splitting it into six, teleporting them apart!

The six finally separated.

"Wah, yah, yah!"

True Lord Tianji flicked his horsetail whisk and, without the slightest regard for his image, prepared to charge forward again.

"Senior Uncle, don't!"

Hua Yunfei flashed to the center of the six and smiled faintly. "They're worthless things. Surely none of you Senior Uncles would make such a huge fuss over them. Come, one bag each!"

His Spiritual Sense entered the Purple Mansion Grotto-Heaven, and five palm-sized bags appeared in Hua Yunfei's hands.

Within the bags were Enlightenment Tree Leaves, flowing with Dao Charm and carrying the fragrance of the Great Dao.

Hua Yunfei handed them out one by one, giving each person a bag.

The five Peak Masters stared blankly at the Enlightenment Tree Leaves in their hands, their hands trembling.

Were these... cabbages?

He was actually giving everyone a bag?

Cough, cough!

True Lord Yuntian coughed lightly, stored the Enlightenment Tree Leaves in his Purple Mansion Grotto-Heaven, and flew to Hua Yunfei's side. With his hands behind his back and a stern expression, he said, "Look at the state of you all! Is this something a Peak Master should do? For the sake of mere treasure, you laid hands on the Sect Master. What kind of conduct is this? Do you still have any respect for me, your Sect Master? Do you still have any regard for the Kaoshan Sect's rules?"

True Lord Tianji rolled his eyes, flicked his horsetail whisk, and muttered, "Who knows who started acting like a scoundrel first..."

True Lord Yuntian glared at him. True Lord Tianji immediately fell silent, not daring to speak another word.

"Pfft..."

After glancing at the huge swelling bulging from True Lord Yuntian's eye, True Lord Xiaxuan could not hold back her laughter.

"Pfft!"

That laugh set off a chain reaction. The several Peak Masters immediately could not hold it in any longer and burst out laughing one after another.

True Lord Yuntian's face turned green with anger.

Hua Yunfei was also holding it in with great difficulty. Every time he saw the Sect Master beaten black and blue, he wanted to laugh!

Hahahaha!

True Lord Tianji was the most unrestrained. He burst into loud laughter, bending over so hard that he nearly failed to hold onto his horsetail whisk.

Boom!

True Lord Yuntian conjured a Thousand-Meter Palm and slapped it over. True Lord Tianji let out a miserable cry and shot into the distance like a meteor.

Hmph!

True Lord Yuntian circulated his Spiritual Energy, and the injuries on his face instantly healed. He swept his gaze over the remaining four Peak Masters. "Go back. Stop making fools of yourselves here. I have something to discuss alone with True Lord Dao Origin."

True Lord Dao Origin was Hua Yunfei's Daoist title.

Every generation's Dao Origin Peak Master bore that Daoist title. It was a form of inheritance.

Aside from Sect Leader Peak, the other five peaks were the same.

True Lord Gouyuan put away his smile and glanced at Hua Yunfei. "Nephew, for such a generous gift, this Senior Uncle will come thank you properly another day!"

True Lord Xiaxuan, True Lord Wuji, and True Lord Dishén all cupped their fists slightly and thanked Hua Yunfei.

The Enlightenment Tree Leaves were far too important to them!

During that fight, they had accidentally revealed a little of the cultivation they had hidden for years. They had to hurry back and cultivate more, then hide it again.

If they did not conceal at least some of it, they always felt uneasy inside!
