Settled and Baffled

"The Golden Scale Sect can agree to these conditions," Shen Changfeng said.

Li Yunjing looked at Shen Changfeng and nodded with a smile.

Shen Changfeng then asked, "What specific Beast Taming Dao techniques and three kinds of spirit birds does Sect Leader Li require?"

Li Yunjing pondered for a moment.

"If we're talking about Beast Taming Dao techniques, then let's go with the Beast King Heart Sutra," Li Yunjing said.

The Beast King Heart Sutra is a top-tier, second-grade Beast Taming Dao technique.

It was obtained by chance by an elder of the Golden Scale Sect while traveling.

Although this Daoist technique is very rare, it is not the core Daoist technique of the Golden Scale Sect.

Li Yunjing knew this, which is why he made this condition.

Shen Changfeng gave Li Yunjing a deep look.

However, he did not refuse.

"Alright, we'll go with the Beast King Heart Sutra, but the Golden Scale Sect has one condition," Shen Changfeng said.

"The Golden Scale Sect can pass on the Beast King Heart Sutra to the Luozhen Sect for the Luozhen Sect to cultivate."

However, the Luozhen Sect could no longer pass on the Beast King Heart Sutra.

Otherwise, the Golden Scale Sect would rather the deal fall through than agree to Sect Leader Li.

Li Yunjing smiled and said, "Don't worry, I wouldn't go that far."

"As for the three kinds of spirit birds, one is the Golden-Feathered Eagle, and for the other two, we will see which two spirit birds in the Golden Scale Sect are the most ferocious, Luozhen Sect will choose those two."

As for the quantity, just send two of each type of spirit bird, one male and one female, with a cultivation level of at least the First-Tier Perfection level.

Shen Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief; this part was alright.

"No problem, the Golden Scale Sect can agree to Sect Leader Li."

"Then it's settled."

Li Yunjing picked up the teacup on the table.

Seeing this, Shen Changfeng also picked up his teacup.

After clinking glasses, the two drank the spiritual tea in one gulp.

Shen Changfeng put down his teacup.

"Li Yunjing, after I return, I will discuss this in detail with my sect leader and will deliver a complete treaty as soon as possible."

Li Yunjing nodded. "Okay."

The two sides concluded their talks peacefully.

Shen Changfeng did not stay any longer and left in a hurry.

Li Yunjing stayed with Luo Qiyuan.

"It seems your conversation went very smoothly this time," Luo Qiyuan said with a smile.

Li Yunjing chuckled, "We have to thank Senior Luo for acting as the middleman."

I am extremely grateful.

Luo Qiyuan waved his hand.

"It's nothing."

After talking with Luo Qiyuan for a while, Li Yunjing left Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

Walking down the street, Li Yunjing still had to make a trip to the Hundred Artifacts Pavilion.

After returning to the Luozhen Sect, Li Yunjing decided not to leave again.

Li Yunjing also needs to learn how to deploy troops.

Moreover, Li Yunjing also plans to switch to studying the Supreme Unity Pure Subtlety Scripture.

This will also take time.

If it weren't for some recent trivial matters...

Li Yunjing had long been immersed in the library's collection of scriptures.

Arriving at the Hundred Artifacts Pavilion,

Inside, the scene was still bustling with activity.

A wave of heat hit us.

In stark contrast to the cold outside.

Jiang Chuan was instructing the apprentices of the Hundred Artifacts Pavilion on weapon crafting.

Upon seeing Li Yunjing, he told the apprentices to practice on their own while he went to greet Li Yunjing.

Go to the backyard of the Hundred Artifacts Pavilion,

Jiang Chuan asked Li Yunjing to sit down.

Then they left.

When Jiang Chuan returned, he was accompanied by five people.

Three men and two women.

Li Yunjing hadn't expected there to be two female apprentices.

Although there is no rule prohibiting female cultivators from refining weapons.

However, most female cultivators do not choose to refine weapons.

After all, you really do have to swing a big hammer at the beginning of weapon forging.

This is not something everyone can accept.

Moreover, compared to alchemy, talisman drawing, and array formation, etc.

The environment for refining weapons is considered harsh.

This made the female cultivator dislike weapon crafting even more.

"Yunjing, let me introduce you. These five are all apprentices who joined the Hundred Artifacts Pavilion three years ago, and I personally taught them," Jiang Chuan said.

"Their skills are absolutely top-notch."

Jiang Chuan gave a thumbs up.

"Although we haven't officially become first-grade weapon refiners yet, we'll be close. After a period of further development, the five of us will be able to refine First-Rank Law Artifact. You absolutely have to believe me on that."

Li Yunjing nodded slightly.

Jiang Chuan then told Li Yunjing the names of all five people.

Then, Jiang Chuan told the five apprentices.

The man beside him was none other than Li Yunjing, the recently renowned leader of the Luozhen Sect.

Jiang Chuan used his connections to send the five people to the Luozhen Sect.

The future looks bright, if not limitless.

Jiang Chuan hoped that the five of them would do well in the Luozhen Sect and not bring shame to the Hundred Artifacts Pavilion.

The five of them already knew where they were going.

Upon learning that they were going to the Luozhen Sect, the five were both excited and somewhat worried.

Although the Luozhen Sect has recently gained considerable fame.

But in the past, the reputation of the Luozhen Sect was not good.

But the deal was already done, and the five of them had no choice but to accept it.

Besides, this was personally handled by the eldest brother; how could he possibly cheat them?

After saying goodbye to the five people, Li Yunjing prepared to leave.

However, at that moment, someone walked over.

"Master."

"Sect Master!"

Upon seeing this person, Jiang Chuan and his five apprentices immediately bowed.

Li Yunjing also cupped his hands in greeting. "Senior Gu."

The visitor was none other than Gu Lin, the master of the Hundred Artifacts Pavilion.

Gu Lin looked at Li Yunjing with an unfriendly gaze.

"Come with me."

Gu Lin said something, gesturing for Li Yunjing to follow him.

Li Yunjing looked at Jiang Chuan, puzzled.

Jiang Chuan was also completely bewildered; he had no idea what was going on.

Li Yunjing frowned and followed Gu Lin away.

They entered a side room.

After Li Yunjing closed the door.

Gu Lin then shouted loudly:

"You little brat, so you're trying to steal my life's work by targeting my daughter, aren't you!?"

Li Yunjing was completely bewildered.

What? They're targeting your daughter?

Am I, Li, that kind of person?

Li Yunjing immediately said righteously:

"Senior Gu, I think you've misunderstood. I didn't do what you're saying."

When Gu Lin saw Li Yunjing retort, he immediately said angrily:

"You still deny it? If it weren't for you, why would my daughter keep insisting on joining the Luozhen Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing became even more puzzled.

However, one thing is certain.

He had never told Gu Xuan about this.

Moreover, Li Yunjing had only met Gu Xuan once.

Jiang Chuan was also there when we last met.

If Li Yunjing had said something like inviting Gu Xuan to join the Luozhen Sect,

You can find out by simply asking Jiang Chuan.

Gu Lin's face was gloomy.

Go and fetch Jiang Chuan.

When Jiang Chuan also arrived at this side room.

Jiang Chuan keenly sensed that something was amiss.

He winked at Li Yunjing, wanting to know what was going on.

Li Yunjing ignored Jiang Chuan to avoid Gu Lin thinking that he and Jiang Chuan were up to something.

"Jiang Chuan, let me ask you, what did he say when your junior sister met him last time?" Gu Lin asked with a stern face.

Jiang Chuan's mind raced.

He knew that Gu Lin had found out about Gu Xuan's desire to join the Luozhen Sect.

That's why Gu Lin got angry.

After careful consideration, Jiang Chuan recounted in detail what had happened when the three of them met last time.

Hearing that Li Yunjing hadn't actually said those things, Gu Lin's eyes widened.

Are you sure he didn't say those things?

Jiang Chuan nodded with absolute certainty. "Master, you must believe me. I can be 100% sure."

"Then why is your junior sister so insistent on joining the Luozhen Sect?" Gu Lin asked, puzzled.

Jiang Chuan sighed helplessly.

"Master, don't you know what my junior sister is like? She doesn't want to inherit your mantle, and you've protected her too well, not letting her go out freely."

My junior sister is only familiar with me; she doesn't know anyone else exists.

My junior sister learned about Yunjing from me before, and she couldn't help but yearn for the Luozhen Sect.

All of this stems from me; please punish me, Master.

Jiang Chuan immediately knelt down.

Gu Lin stood there, stunned.

Jiang Chuan's words were like a heavy blow to Gu Lin.

The Hundred Artifacts Pavilion he founded is the pride of his life.

Therefore, Gu Lin naturally wanted to hand over the management of the Hundred Artifacts Pavilion to his descendants.

With the help of the Hundred Artifacts Pavilion, perhaps a Gu Household will emerge in Xunxian Town in the future.

Gu Lin only had a daughter, not a son.

Gu Lin had originally placed all his hopes on his daughter.

But here, she learned from Jiang Chuan that her daughter had no intention of inheriting the Hundred Artifacts Pavilion.

This was the first time Gu Lin had heard about this.

How could Gu Lin not suffer a blow?
