Yan Changkong, Have You Heard Our Story?

Such a beautiful woman, with unparalleled charm, was being gazed upon by her eyes, which held a hint of allure...

Chen Xiu could no longer bear it, so he coughed lightly, cupped his hands, and said, "Sect Master, what brings you here in such a hurry?"

Yan Changkong glanced at him with a smile, feeling somewhat puzzled, and then said, "It's not that I'm looking for you, it's that this fellow Daoist from the Jade Balance Immortal Mansion specifically requested to see you."

He was also puzzled at first.

If Han Yuwei came, she should have sought out him, the sect leader, if she had any business.

What does it mean to seek out the Great Elder?

But after seeing her gaze just now, a bold idea suddenly popped into my head.

No way, could it be that she's taken a fancy to our Great Elder?

If that's the case... he's happy for Chen Xiu, but he still feels a bit uneasy.

Then I thought about it again and became happy.

Han Yuwei holds an extremely high position in Cloud Mountain Valley, being one of the six peak masters, wielding great power and influence. If this is true...

This undoubtedly adds another obstacle to the support of their Xuanqing Sect.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiu was even more bewildered.

At this moment, Yan Changkong said to Han Yuwei, "Peak Master Han, this is the Great Elder of my Xuanqing Sect. He is in charge of matters such as getting a sneak peek at the Diary."

"Ha ha!"

"Don't let our Great Elder's handsome appearance fool you; he's not just all looks. Even Ancestor Lin Feng once praised him for his sharp mind."

He originally intended to elevate the Great Elder in front of the other party.

After all, there was a significant gap between the two in terms of both cultivation level and status, so they could only try to make up for it in other ways.

Who knew!

Upon hearing this, Han Yuwei frowned slightly, revealing a hint of embarrassment.

This reaction puzzled Yan Changkong.

Am I overthinking it?

Great Elder Chen Xiu calmed himself down, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards her, and said:

"Chen Xiu of the Xuanqing Sect greets Peak Master Han."

Han Yuwei smiled slightly and returned the greeting, saying, "Elder Chen, you're too kind."

Then there was another moment of silence.

Han Yuwei suddenly spoke, tentatively saying, "Sect Master Yan, Elder Chen, to be honest, I have a request to make!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the Great Elder again.

A glint flashed in Yan Changkong's eyes, his smile vanished, and he quickly began to calculate in his mind, sensing that something was amiss.

What does the Xuanqing Sect have that would make them want to ask for it?

Could it be that they came for the ancestor?

"Oh?"

"Please speak freely, Peak Master Han. If it is within the capabilities of my Xuanqing Sect, we will certainly do our utmost to help."

Yan Changkong didn't give a definitive answer, deciding to wait and see.

Han Yuwei added, "Well, to be honest, although Cloud Mountain Valley is quite powerful, it lacks talent skilled in management and creating spirit stones!"

"Your sect has now gained a reputation in this regard among the various Immortal Mansion."

The other person hadn't finished speaking.

Yan Changkong and Chen Xiu exchanged a glance, both somewhat dumbfounded.

Then a sense of smugness crept into his heart...

Doesn't this just demonstrate their value? It's not necessarily about having high cultivation levels or strong combat power that allows one to contribute to the sect!

They can do it too.

As Han Yuwei spoke, a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face; she found it somewhat difficult to say these words.

In terms of pure strength, even ten members of the Xuanqing Sect would be no match for Cloud Mountain Valley.

Of course, this is under the condition that the ancestors are not allowed to be mobilized.

In contrast, when it comes to the ability to earn spirit stones, even ten Cloud Mountain Valley are no match for the Xuanqing Sect.

For the powerful immortal Immortal Mansion, it was hardly a glorious thing to lower themselves to seek advice or even try to win them over.

If it were any other sect, they could just attack and kidnap Yan Changkong and the Great Elder...

But this sect is off-limits!

The fate of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect is still fresh in everyone's mind. Who would dare to come to the Xuanqing Sect without buying a ticket?

Isn't that just asking for trouble?!

Han Yuwei continued, "Especially the Great Elder, who got to read the Diary first, and both our Valley Master and I really enjoyed it."

As she said this, her eyes practically sparkled as she looked at Chen Xiu, and she said:

"It's truly unbelievable how you come up with so many brilliant ideas! You're amazing!"

Chen Xiu's lips twitched slightly, and he said modestly, "You flatter me. Actually, all of this is thanks to our sect leader!"

Yan Changkong quickly waved his hand. "No, no!"

But judging from his expression, he was quite pleased with himself, as if everything he had done had finally been recognized.

"You're all too modest."

Han Yuwei took a sip of tea and said, "The deeds of the two of you have been studied and analyzed by many forces in various Immortal Mansion."

"We are full of praise for your bold and innovative approach to earning spirit stones."

"With your resources, you can earn so many spirit stones honestly and easily without fighting or robbing. This is unique in the entire Cultivation World!"

That's the truth!

Whether it's the forces of the Nine Provinces or the various Immortal Mansion, they have always been accustomed to acquiring resources through fighting and plundering.

Although he also runs a business.

However, the profits were just a drop in the ocean; after deducting various costs, very little was actually handed over to the sect.

Many even suffered losses...

Therefore, the sect's main source of income is simply to kill, rob, and explore unknown resources.

In this mode of operation, casualties are inevitable.

The risk is very high!

Therefore, after witnessing how easily the Xuanqing Sect could earn huge amounts of spirit stones, even these arrogant forces were tempted!

Upon hearing this, Yan Changkong and the Great Elder straightened their backs considerably, their faces flushed with excitement!

Yan Changkong asked incredulously, "You... you've all heard our story?"

Han Yuwei nodded solemnly!

At this moment, both Yan Changkong and Chen Xiu's eyes welled up with tears, feeling that even if they died, they would have done right by their ancestors.

"Especially your Millennium Plan..."

"It's truly eye-opening, and as far as I know, many Immortal Mansion abodes are already vying to imitate it."

Upon hearing this, Yan Changkong felt a little lightheaded, as if he were drunk.

Next...

Han Yuwei suddenly changed the subject, pleading, "So, Sect Master Yan, what our Valley Master means is..."

She glanced at Chen Xiu again before continuing:

"We would like to invite Elder Chen Xiu to be a special retainer of Cloud Mountain Valley, to oversee its operations. Of course, in addition to providing Elder Chen with generous resources each year, the Xuanqing Sect will also receive a share."

After laying the groundwork for so long, Han Yuwei finally revealed her purpose.

They've come to poach our talent!

They originally intended to dig both of them together, but since the other party was the head of a sect, it wouldn't be right for them to take it away.

So they wanted to poach the Great Elder first, since it seems that all of the Xuanqing Sect's money-making projects originated from him!

Yan Changkong's body trembled, and he suddenly came to his senses, saying decisively, "No!"

Although, the person she wanted to poach was the Great Elder!

The decision should have been made by the Great Elder, but this world places great importance on the inheritance of sects.

The sect leader has the right to decide whether or not a disciple stays or leaves.

Unless one wants to be a traitor, but traitors are despised by everyone in the Cultivation World, regardless of whether they are righteous or evil.

Yan Changkong his eyes and sneered inwardly!

So that's what they were planning!

He thought to himself, "You've poached the Great Elder, who's going to realize all my wildest ideas?"

At this moment, Great Elder Chen Xiu also shook his head. "I am flattered by your favor, but I will never leave the sect."

His expression was resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.

In the past, such an invitation from a powerful Immortal Mansion might have been very tempting.

But now it seems like nothing at all!

Their Xuanqing Sect is developing at an alarming rate, changing rapidly every day.

If this continues, it won't take a thousand years to become a super sect!

Is there even a choice between building your own super sect and joining one?

Han Yuwei fell silent; she actually had a premonition.

Seeing that both of them were resolute, he said no more.

Even if it were her, she would have made the same choice.

Then, Han Yuwei smiled again and said, "Since the Great Elder is unwilling, we naturally will not force him."

"But..."

"I wonder if this would be possible? I'm willing to offer a sum of spirit stones to invite you two to visit my Cloud Mountain Valley and give us your guidance."

"What do you two think? We can discuss the price!"

This was also the Valley Master's instruction when she arrived: if they couldn't find anyone, they should spend money to hire Yan Changkong and Chen Xiu to personally provide guidance.

Yan Changkong's eyes lit up. "We're very expensive!"

Han Yuwei smiled and nodded, "No problem, let's discuss this in detail next..."

"Of course! Of course!"

"As long as there's money, everything's fine!"

Suddenly, another idea flashed through Yan Changkong's mind. He had been worrying about hitting a bottleneck recently.

He immediately decided to accept Han Yuwei's invitation.

If this works, wouldn't this paid tutoring method also work?

There's great potential!
