After calming down, Chen Changming began to analyze the situation methodically.
So far.
The fact that the young lady of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion did not approach Lingxiao Sect indicates that Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion has not yet discovered the supply chain for medium-grade Spirit Rice, so she is currently safe.
But this safety is only temporary.
Next.
Chen Changming planned to first find Luo Lan and inquire about the whereabouts of that batch of medium-grade Spirit Rice before deciding whether to leave Lingxiao Sect now.
Feeling the Silver Thread Heart-Devouring Insect was still hungry, Chen Changming smiled helplessly and took out another level-one Demon Beast he had killed in Cloud Mist Mountain.
A silver light flew out from the corpse of the Lightning Tiger, entered the Demon Beast's body, and began to feast on it.
I waited a moment.
The Silver Thread Heart-Devouring Insect emerged, and Chen Changming reached out, and the small Silver Insect fell into his palm, obediently curling up into a small ball.
This small clump of "silver thread" looks tiny and insignificant.
Chen Changming put it into his sleeve, but did not put it into the Beast Taming Bracelet.
This is because the Silver Thread Heart-Devouring Insect possesses exceptional stealth abilities, emitting no aura whatsoever, making it difficult for others to detect that the silver thread in his sleeve is actually Demon Beast.
" Qin Changtian..."
Chen Changming looked at Lingxiao Peak and gave a cold smile.
Qin Changtian was utterly wicked, and Chen Changming planned to kill him with the Silver Thread Heart-Devouring Insect.
Walk up to the Demon Spirit Vine.
" Little Vine, we can't stay here much longer; we have to leave," he said softly.
The Demon Spirit Vine trembled slightly, as if to say it was alright.
Chen Changming waved his Beast Taming Bracelet, storing the entire Demon Spirit Vine inside. He then walked out of the courtyard, down the mountain, out of the Spirit Rice planting area, and headed straight for the Logistics Hall.
The morning air was fresh, and the warm rays of the rising sun shone from the east.
Before even reaching the Logistics Hall, Chen Changming heard the sound of sweeping.
Upon closer inspection, Luo Lan was seen wielding a broom.
Because it was still early, no Lingxiao Sect disciples had arrived yet.
" Senior Sister."
Chen Changming smiled and quickly walked over.
"Junior brother, what brings you here?"
When Luo Lan saw Chen Changming approaching, she immediately smiled broadly. However, Chen Changming could still see the sadness and disappointment in his Senior Sister's eyes out of the corner of his eye.
" Senior Sister, which merchant did you sell the Spirit Rice I handed over last time to?"
Chen Changming asked.
"Those medium-grade Spirit Rice haven't even been sold yet!"
Luo Lan smiled gently and looked towards Lingxiao Peak, saying, "After the new sect leader took office, she said that these Spirit Rice Spirit Rice not be sold; she wants to give them to the Xiaguang Sect."
"I see..."
Chen Changming felt much relieved upon hearing this.
It's simply impossible for the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion to find him through the line of medium-grade Spirit Rice.
Luo Lan's expression turned serious, and he said, "Junior Brother, you've come at the perfect time. I would have looked for you anyway!"
" Senior Sister, is there something you need?"
Chen Changming asked.
"Today, the Deputy Sect Master of the Xiaguang Sect has personally arrived. All the high-ranking members and inner disciple the Lingxiao Sect are to greet him at the Lingxiao Peak Square."
Luo Lan said.
She looked slightly downcast as she said this.
A defeated general's position is precarious.
Whenever a prominent figure from the Xiaguang Sect arrives, the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect have to greet him with smiles, just like lapdogs wagging their tails and begging for mercy.
"All right."
Upon hearing that the Deputy Sect Master Xiaguang Sect had arrived, Chen Changming felt helpless. If he were to suddenly leave at this time, it would put his Senior Sister in a difficult position, since he was now the steward of the Logistics Hall and Luo Lan was his superior.
Luo Lan looked at Chen Changming and said in a low, earnest voice, "Junior Brother, your Spirit Root are lacking. You must not force yourself to establish your Foundation Establishment when you don't have enough Foundation Establishment Pills."
Seeing that his Senior Sister was still concerned about him, Chen Changming felt a warmth in his heart. He glanced around cautiously and asked in a low voice, " Senior Sister, with my Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root, how many Foundation Establishment do I need to have a chance of achieving Foundation Establishment?"
"This..."
Luo Lan hesitated for a moment before saying, "About ten."
Actually, she didn't know; she just deduced it from experience.
Ten?
Chen Changming was taken aback, then smiled wryly. These ten Foundation Establishment were not easy to obtain.
Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion quoted 50,000 Spirit Stone for one Foundation Establishment, and there was no guarantee they would have any in stock. If he were to collect ten Foundation Establishment, it would take him a lot of effort and time.
Seeing the change in Chen Changming's expression, Luo Lan comforted him, "Junior Brother, I've recently consulted some ancient books, and historically, no one with Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root has ever broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. However, your senior sister believes you can do it... Don't worry, I will continue to help you accumulate Foundation Establishment."
" Senior Sister, thank you so much."
Chen Changming bowed deeply with genuine sincerity. He felt that one Foundation Establishment from his Senior Sister was enough; he decided to find a way to obtain the remaining Foundation Establishment himself.
"Junior brother, there's no need for formalities between us. Now that the sect is in trouble, we can only stick together for warmth..."
Luo Lan sighed softly, her expression melancholy.
Chen Changming remained silent, wanting to persuade his Senior Sister to give up the idea of revitalizing the Lingxiao Sect, but he swallowed the words back.
He didn't want to discourage his Senior Sister.
Perhaps, as the Xiaguang Sect gains deeper control over the Lingxiao Sect, the Senior Sister will change her mind and no longer be so naive as to think about revitalizing the Lingxiao Sect.
Half an hour passed.
"Junior brother, it's almost time. Let's go to Lingxiao Peak."
Luo Lan said.
Chen Changming nodded.
While the two remained silent, he noticed tears glistening in his Senior Sister's eyes.
After an incense stick has burned.
The two arrived at the plaza in front of the Sect Master Hall Lingxiao Peak.
At this moment, there were already quite a few inner disciple of the Lingxiao Sect and Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Xiaguang Sect here.
Luo Lan led Chen Changming through the crowd. As an elder of the Logistics Hall, she stood in the front row, while Chen Changming, as a steward, stood in the row behind her.
Another half hour passed, and everyone had arrived.
The main hall doors were pushed open.
A radiant Huang Zhenzhen and Qin Changtian, with dark circles under their eyes, walked out from inside.
Luo Lan clenched her fists, her delicate body trembling slightly.
"That Qin Changtian is truly a scumbag."
Chen Changming lowered his head, his brows furrowing slightly, his disgust for Qin Changtian deepening.
A sword light flew in from afar.
call!
A powerful aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator descended like a mountain, causing everyone's expression to change as they felt immense pressure.
Foundation Establishment Realm, Level 10?
Chen Changming's expression changed slightly; the cultivation level of this Deputy Sect Master of the Xiaguang Sect was actually so high.
The sword light fell, transforming into a man in red robes.
"Greetings, Deputy Sect Master!"
The Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Xiaguang Sect bowed respectfully.
"Father!"
Huang Zhenzhen called out sweetly, and nestled into the red-robed man's arms like a swallow returning to its nest.
Huang Tianqi patted his beloved daughter on the back, looked at the orderly crowd, and smiled, "My dear daughter, you've managed the Lingxiao Sect quite well..."
"Thank you for the compliment, Dad."
Huang Zhenzhen chuckled sweetly, glanced at Luo Lan out of the corner of her eye, and secretly sent a telepathic message to Huang Tianqi.
"Don't worry, your father is here this time to help you clean up the remaining high-ranking members of the Lingxiao Sect, so they won't ruin our important plans in the future."
Huang Tianqi chuckled telepathically, his gaze disdainful.
He pushed Huang Zhenzhen aside, put his hands behind his back, and walked a few steps forward with a cold expression, his sharp eyes fixed on the Lingxiao Sect members.
" Luo Lan, do you know your crime?!"
A thunderous sound exploded in everyone's ears.
