Aside from the demonic snake and the locust monster that he captured and killed, Chen Shuangbai's trip was also considered a contribution to the sect, and therefore he was also recognized for other Merit Points.
Yan Qi said, "Junior brother, don't worry. You've contributed a lot to this trip, and the sect won't be lenient with you. You'll definitely be able to get a first-class ranking, and then there will be Merit Points."
Chen Shuangbai understood.
This trip to Great Locust Village was actually an internal matter of the sect's Expenditure Hall, and was not made public; it was handled by the sect's disciples.
However, it's normal for Yan Qi, as a member of the Evil Hunting Hall, to have extra methods.
He only needed to report this matter to the Expenditure Hall, explaining that Chen Shuangbai had contributed greatly to the trip and had treated most of the wounded, and that he was a true disciple of the Jade Spring Sect. The Ministry of Revenue would naturally understand.
His statement not only represents his personal optimism about Chen Shuangbai, but also the optimism of the Evil Hunting Hall towards Chen Shuangbai.
Although the Expenditure Hall had a wide range of authority, it could not rival the Evil Hunting Hall.
after all.
Their ability to operate smoothly within the sect is precisely due to the protection and support from both the Hunting Evil and Jade Guarding Hall, both internally and externally.
Chen Shuangbai quickly understood Yan Qi's gesture of goodwill. Without being coy, he cupped his hands in thanks and said that he thanked his senior brother.
The purpose of this descent down the mountain has essentially been achieved.
Perhaps the elixir added to the underground water veins was gradually taking effect, because after a few days, the gray-green poisonous fog that shrouded the entire village began to dissipate, revealing a village located in a valley.
Upon seeing this, the villagers of Great Locust Village burst into tears, expressing their deepest gratitude to the Jade Spring Immortal Sect, a debt they would never forget.
Chen Shuangbai chose to avoid seeing the Great Locust Village who wanted to come before her again to express their gratitude.
now.
He and Yan Qi stood atop a precipitous peak outside the village, bidding each other farewell.
Yan Qi, dressed in a dark blue robe and with a jade mask concealing her true appearance, appeared outwardly quite differently, but her capable and carefree aura was undisguised as she bid farewell to Chen Shuangbai.
" Junior Brother Chen, I have been away from the hall for a long time, so it is inconvenient for me to stay any longer. Please rest assured, I have already sent a letter to the Expenditure Hall Revenue for your help here. After I return to the mountain, the deacons of the hall will naturally come to visit me."
Chen Shuangbai nodded slightly and then asked Yan Qi if he had any important sect matters to attend to on this trip.
He asked the question casually, not expecting Yan Qi to be able to answer it, but Yan Qi did answer it anyway.
He gazed intently into the distance, his voice low and somber, " That Heart-Eroding Demon Beast, its wicked intentions remain undiminished. First it harassed our sect's alliance, and now it has sent its vanguard into the three states. These are turbulent times. Junior Brother, you must take care."
Without waiting for Chen Shuangbai's reply, Yan Qi released a magical Law Artifact whose true form was obscured, then leaped into the air, transforming into a streak of blue light that shot straight into the sky.
It took Chen Shuangbai a long time to come back to her senses, savoring those words as her thoughts wandered.
" Heart-Eroding demon, its wicked heart never dies... These are turbulent times..."
Yan Qi's words were a subtle reminder to Chen Shuangbai - Heart-Eroding Stronghold would never sit idly by and watch the Jade Spring Sect continue to grow stronger. Their current incursion into the Empty Sword Sect was probably just a pretext; their real target was the Jade Spring Sect.
"If that's the case, no wonder this battle over the mineral vein has lasted so long; it's like they're 'eating what's in their bowl while eyeing what's in the pot.'"
Chen Shuangbai stood atop the mountain.
The mountain wind howled, stirring my robes.
Not far away, Feiguang spread its wings, sometimes circling in the air, sometimes swooping down, teasing the many wild beasts in the mountains. Its speed was so fast that no beast could compete with it.
It knew its Master was pondering a problem, so it lingered nearby, wary of any suspicious individuals.
However, Chen Shuangbai wasn't in a particular hurry.
After all, even if the sky falls, there are always tall people to hold it up.
The Jade Spring Sect has never relied on its skillful maneuvering to become the leading force among the many cultivation powers in the Jing Kingdom; rather, it has earned its position through hard-fought battles.
This can be seen from the fact that the Heart-Eroding Stronghold can only harass the Empty Sword Sect, but dares not directly confront the Jade Spring Sect.
The title of the Jade Spring Sect, the sect leader of True Person Qingchen, is something that the other four sects acknowledge with a heavy heart.
After careful consideration.
Chen Shuangbai released the Flowing Cloud Flying Pouch, summoned the Feiguang, and hid in the clouds, flying towards the sect. The Feiguang followed closely behind, transforming into a white shadow, soaring through the clouds.
Around dusk, Chen Shuangbai saw the location of the mountain gate. Upon reaching it, he presented his disciple jade token. After gaining the approval of the sect's protective formation, he was able to return to the sect.
Upon returning to his cave abode, he immediately sent two letters to He Qi and Fu Qianlan, informing them of the events of the day and warning them not to spread rumors, as the sect likely already had a countermeasure in place.
Then, the sun sets in the Golden Crow, and the moon rises in the east.
After feeding Feiguang, Chen Shuangbai returned to her cave abode, sat cross-legged under the moonlight, and then released her spiritual sense to activate the Life-Accepting Gourd placed at the bottom of the pond outside the dwelling, gathering the surrounding spiritual energy, and began her cultivation for the day.
As his cultivation progressed over the years, Chen Shuangbai increasingly felt the extraordinary nature of the " Moon-Worshipping Clear Illumination Method ".
This is not a Qi cultivation technique at all, but a profound and mysterious skill that has a very high probability of allowing one to cultivate all the way to the Golden Core realm.
Therefore, Chen Shuangbai did not slack off at all, and diligently cultivated every day. During the day, he took pills to aid his cultivation, and at night he worshipped the moon to cultivate. The twelve phases of the moon in his sea of consciousness, which used to only flash by, can now be sustained for a long time.
Chen Shuangbai always felt that if he could successfully condense a moon phase, it would greatly benefit his cultivation.
Although he had no shortage of external materials for cultivation, the quality of those materials was far too low. Even the most important external material, which could recharge the [ Dao Fruit ] in his sea of consciousness like basking in moonlight, was still nowhere to be found by Chen Shuangbai.
[ The Dao Fruit ] is the foundation upon which Chen Shuangbai embarked on his path of cultivation.
The Moon Soul True Water born from the Jade Platform Jade Platform Lotus Marsh alone has benefited Chen Shuangbai immensely.
"If we can find a more suitable and efficient method of recharging, the Dao Fruit might be able to reveal even more profound mysteries, so this matter must be kept in mind for now."
"Ideally, this method should be found before I descend the mountain."
Chen Shuangbai made up her mind and then focused her attention on continuing her moon-worshiping cultivation.
And so, he continued his practice for several more days.
Outside the cave abode, the unique cry of the Feiguang could be heard. Chen Shuangbai awoke from his cultivation and released his spiritual sense, only to find two servants dressed in the attire of the Expenditure Hall, led by a Expenditure Hall steward, who had found him in front of his cave abode.
"It must be because of Senior Brother Yan's letter requesting credit."
Chen Shuangbai slowly rose, cast a Clothes-Cleansing Technique on himself, tidied his appearance, and then strode forward, dispelling the formation and welcoming the three into the cave abode.
The steward was a discerning man. The first thing he saw when he entered was Chen Shuangbai. He noticed that this outer disciple of the Jade Spring Sect was tall and straight, with a calm aura. His eyes seemed to ripple with water as they opened and closed, and his Spirit Power was harmonious and natural. He knew that he should not be underestimated.
The deacon immediately made up his mind, put on a smile, and cupped his hands in greeting:
" Sun Wubai, the steward of the Expenditure Hall, greets Junior Brother Chen."
