Ye Feng didn't answer. His gaze swept across the crowd, and a familiar figure made him smile slightly.

"The eldest sister-in-law is here too! Why didn't she say hello!"

When Zilan Lingzun saw Ye Feng calling her, she walked over quickly with excitement on her face, and said in a reproachful tone,

"You're such a celebrity now, I don't even dare to greet you anymore."

Zhou Yongcheng coughed and said seriously,

"Fellow Daoist Zilan, Immortal Venerable Shenye is our sect's ancestor, please do not act rashly!"

These words immediately made Venerable Zilan tense.

Yes... The person in front of her now is no longer just a junior brother, but one of the Nine Venerables of the cultivation world!

The fastest cultivator in history!

The only thing that the evil god feared was

Divine Leaf Immortal Venerable!!

"Passing through a sea of ​​flowers, yet not a single petal clings to me, Zhang Zilan of the Spirit Butterfly Sect pays homage to the Divine Leaf Immortal Venerable!"

When Ye Feng once met the aloof and powerful Spirit Venerable Zilan, he felt uneasy and embarrassed.

He had to be careful about every casual remark the other party made.

However, Ye Feng's heart has never changed.

I once held Zilan in awe, a result of the difference in our cultivation levels; now, I accept Zilan's greetings with equanimity, also due to the difference in our cultivation levels…

Despite the difference in cultivation levels, human relationships remained unchanged.

"Senior Sister-in-law, you're too kind. When you come to the Five Elements Sect, you should treat it like your own home. Look how busy Senior Brother is, how can you not help him?"

As he spoke, Ye Feng waved his hand and carried a large box out of the cultivation space.

"Please have my senior sister-in-law help me cash out these spirit stones!"

After taking out the spirit stones, Ye Feng asked Zhou Yongcheng to arrange for those who needed to buy "divine leaves" to go to the side hall next door.

After Ye Feng left, the two looked at each other and opened the box.

The two initially thought the box contained a spatial treasure, but to their surprise, it was filled with countless spatial rings.

At a glance, there are at least tens of thousands!

"My god, each one costs ten million top-grade spirit stones... How much money is that?"

Zhou Yongcheng was also shocked.

He knew about Ye Feng's "robbery" of the demon race, but he didn't know how many demons he had robbed.

So many spirit stones, just handed over to Zilan, an "outsider"...

Then he must have more, right?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yongcheng felt his blood boil.

Now we don't have to worry about running out of spirit stones... We can accommodate as many disciples with balanced spiritual roots as we want!

"You'd better keep a close eye on these spirit stones. There are so many; if we lose them, even selling both of us wouldn't be enough to cover the losses..."

"Pah! What are you saying! Get back to work!"

Zilan Lingzun, like a greedy person, examined each item one by one with stars in her eyes.

If Ye Feng hadn't taken it out in front of Zhou Yongcheng... and this was the territory of the Five Elements Sect... plus he was at the Immortal Venerable realm!

Zilan really wanted to take the spirit stones and run away...

The affiliated sects within the Immortal City are all outer disciples of the Five Elements Sect. Naturally, he doesn't need to arrange these matters personally. He only needs to give a call, activate the formation, and open a special sect passage.

After completing these tasks, Zhou Yongcheng prepared to report back to Ye Feng and, while he was at it, discuss the future with him.

Just as they reached the entrance of the side hall, two Golden Core cultivator girls dressed in unusual attire came to greet them.

"Chen Ying (Fang Xue) of Penglai Sect greets the Black Hole Spirit Lord!"

Are these the disciples of Ye Feng's self-founded sect?

Zhou Yongcheng nodded, glancing at it with some curiosity.

The two women were wearing dark blue, stiffly tailored long-sleeved shirts with V-necks over white collared blouses, knee-length fitted skirts, and black high heels. Their hair was styled in a bun and secured with hairnets…

This outfit, while not exactly improper... well, it's not...

Except for a small area around the ankle, nothing else was exposed.

Zilan still likes to go barefoot all day!

To be serious... that's even harder to say.

This outfit doesn't look like that of someone from a sect; it makes them seem more like... a laborer.

It's like rolling up your trousers when you go to the fields, or wearing rubber boots when you're fishing...

Zhou Yongcheng glanced at it casually out of curiosity, then nodded indifferently.

"I need to speak with Master... Immortal Master Ye!"

"please!"

The other person put their fingers together, pressed one hand against their abdomen, and slightly raised the other hand to guide them inside, then took the lead and went in.

Even with such a simple movement, Zhou Yongcheng felt that his opponent had practiced countless times.

The degree of bending over, the height of raising his hand... even the volume of his voice was just right.

Zhou Yongcheng frowned slightly.

Wouldn't training disciples like this rob them of their will to win?

While it's true that one should be respectful to high-level cultivators, is it really necessary to train oneself to be like that?

He had originally intended to hand over the entire sect to Ye Feng... but now he had a slight hesitation.

If all disciples of a sect become like this, are they still top-tier disciples?

Without even basic pride, how can they support the future of the Five Elements Sect?

However, saying it is one thing, thinking it is another.

After hearing this, Zhou Yongcheng really felt that Ye Feng was of a higher "class".

It improved a lot at once.

Standing in front of the door, he unconsciously straightened his robes.

Chen Ying, who had led the way, had already passed through the formation and entered. When Zhou Yongcheng went inside, he saw her waiting by the door.

Seeing him enter, she made a guiding gesture before continuing inside...

However, Zhou Yongcheng was finding it difficult to walk.

The once empty hall was now filled with tables along its edges, where nearly eight hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators, dressed in a different style of uniform, were busily working behind them.

More than a hundred Golden Core cultivators, dressed like Chen Ying who was leading the way, stood beside the table, their hands lightly placed on their lower abdomens.

As he approached, Zhou Yongcheng bowed slightly, neither disturbing nor showing any intimacy, yet somehow making him feel highly valued.

Do I, who have already merged into a Spirit Venerable, need to pay attention to a mere Golden Core?

Zhou Yongcheng found his subconscious thought amusing for a moment.

With that thought in mind, he swaggered over to the table.

"What... are these for?"

"Reporting to the Black Hole Spirit Lord, this is the registration desk. We will issue VIP cards to cultivators who come to purchase spirit leaves based on their level!"

On the table lay a magical artifact that could record auras.

Similar registration systems exist at the gates of Immortal City, except that there aren't candies or other snacks on the tables there...

"This is the waiting area. If things get busy ahead of you, you can have some tea and read some storybooks here."

"This is the joint venture discussion area. Any local sect or force that needs us to open a shop here can cooperate with us... If the cooperation is successful, they can enjoy some of our internal benefits..."

"This is..."

Listening to Chen Ying's introduction, Zhou Yongcheng felt like he had been stabbed by a knife, his eyes had been opened!

This isn't a sect, it's practically a merchant guild!

It's not a small-scale chamber of commerce, but a well-established, mature, and seasoned business organization!

Even families that have specialized in business for tens of thousands of years haven't done as comprehensively as them...

"This is the exhibition area. Our Penglai Sect has a wide range of businesses, and we have stock of almost any non-living goods. Customers can choose whatever they need... Moreover, if there is any item that cannot be found in the catalog, you can receive a generous reward!"

Zhou Yongcheng's gaze sharpened.

"You mean, you can buy anything... you have everything?"

Chen Ying answered without hesitation.

"Yes, we have everything! The names may differ from place to place, but as long as you provide a sample, we can find it... Of course, for the rarer and harder-to-cultivate varieties, you'll need a large quantity to place an order!"

Zhou Yongcheng looked thoughtful.

Could it be that I can buy the Five Elements Spirit Fruit if I want it?

He really wanted to go to the back mountain to see if the sect's fruit trees were still there...

In that brief moment of hesitation, Fang Xue ushered in the first guest.

For every hundred or so Golden Core cultivators who entered, one person went out to replenish their strength...

In an instant, the entire hall became lively.

As the first guest entered, female disciples carrying trays gradually emerged from the back of the main hall.

On each tray, 99 "divine leaves" are neatly arranged!
