At this moment, inside the Chaoyang Sect in the Tai Xuan Cave Heaven.

Having spent the night struggling with his conscience, Tu Changyang appeared at the foot of a mountain, looking somewhat haggard.

He admitted that the method devised by his senior brother Shen Changsheng to obtain spirit stones was the most reliable.

He felt it was too slow.

But everyone else supported the eldest brother, so his opposition alone was useless.

So, he arrived at this mountain peak this morning.

The mountain is somewhat desolate, with only a narrow stone staircase leading to the top.

"Are we really going to do this?"

When the time came, Tu Changyang hesitated again, because doing this would inevitably offend the other seven elders.

He was the fourth-ranked elder, but his cultivation level ranked seventh among the eight elders.

Even those ten or twenty years younger than him have surpassed him and reached the late stage of Grandmaster.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances.

He will never be able to break through to the Celestial Realm in his lifetime.

After all, there are three Grandmasters at the peak ahead of him. Even if the sect leader falls and a Celestial Realm spot becomes available, it won't be his turn. Even if he were given the opportunity, he wouldn't be able to reach that level with just 10 spirit stones a month.

Therefore, to break through to the Celestial Realm, one must obtain more spirit stones. If one's talent is insufficient, spirit stones can make up for it!

Thinking about this...

Tu Changyang gritted his teeth and ran up the stone steps quickly without any hesitation.

The mountain belongs to Dugu Ming, the vice sect leader of the Chaoyang Sect.

Dugu Ming broke through to the Celestial Realm at the age of 60, a martial arts talent that is rare to find in a century. Now, thirty years have passed, and no one knows what level his realm has reached.

Soon, Tu Changyang reached the top of the mountain.

His gaze fell on a dilapidated courtyard, but after stepping onto the mountaintop, he clearly sensed that the spiritual energy in the air had become richer.

This is a method of gathering spiritual energy using feng shui formations, and only the sect leaders and deputy sect leaders are qualified to enjoy it.

"Tu Changyang has come to pay his respects to the Vice Sect Master, and has important intelligence to report!"

"Elder Tu, please come in."

A gentle voice rang out, and then the tightly closed courtyard gate suddenly opened, but no one was seen opening it!

Tu Changyang strode forward and stepped into the courtyard.

Then I saw a young man in blue sitting in front of a pond in the courtyard, fishing.

"Greetings, Vice Sect Master!"

Tu Changyang quickly bowed in greeting.

"Um!"

The young man in blue gave a curt reply and then fell silent.

This made Tu Changyang's heart tighten, but he still bent over and said, "Vice Sect Master, there is a person named Gao Yan in the outside world who may control a spirit stone mine!"

"Spirit Stone Mine!"

The young man in blue suddenly lost his calm expression, replaced by excitement: "Is this true!"

So, Tu Changyang recounted the whole incident.

After listening, Lonely Fate frowned slightly: "Since your council of elders has already formulated a plan, why do you still need to come to see me!"

Tu Changyang raised his head excitedly: "Vice Sect Master, although this plan is sound, there are too many unpredictable things in the world. Therefore, I believe that we should acquire the spirit stone mine as quickly as possible. After all, only the spirit stones in our hands are the spirit stones of our Chaoyang Sect!"

"There is some truth to that."

Dugu Ming nodded: "Since you have your own ideas, why have you come to see me?"

Tu Changyang smiled wryly: "Everyone supports Senior Brother, and I can't fight alone, so I've come to seek your guidance, Vice Sect Master!"

Do you have a plan?

Dugu Ming asked.

"I believe that you, Vice Sect Master, should personally take action. I only hope that after you seize the spirit stone mine, you can share some of the profits with me!" Tu Changyang said.

"Oh!"

Dugu Ming glanced at Tu Changyang with amusement, how could he not understand Tu Changyang's thoughts: "Elder Tu, your talent is limited. Even if I give you more spirit stones, I'm afraid you still won't be able to break through to the Celestial Realm!"

With the same resources, Shen Changsheng, Zhang Changming, and Lu Changqing were able to cultivate to the peak of the Grandmaster level, but he is only at the mid-stage of the Grandmaster level.

This shows the difference between them.

Hearing Dugu Ming's words, Tu Changyang was furious and ashamed, but he couldn't lash out. He could only bite the bullet and say, "Vice Sect Master, you misunderstand. I would never dare to covet the Celestial Realm. I simply want to use resources to reach the peak of the Grandmaster realm and live a little longer!"

Dugu Ming could naturally see through Tu Changyang's insincerity, so he smiled and said, "Alright, if I can obtain the spirit stone mine, I will certainly not treat you unfairly!"

"Thank you, Vice Sect Master!"

Tu Changyang quickly expressed his gratitude!

"Now, tell me all the information you have!"

"yes!"

On the other side, in Chengdu.

Gao Yan drove his future mother-in-law's car, moving slowly forward like a tortoise. After leaving the airport road and entering the city, the road became congested.

In recent years, with the development of western China, Chengdu has become increasingly prosperous, and the traffic congestion on the roads is comparable to that of Shanghai and Beijing!

Another half hour passed.

Gao Yan drove his car into an upscale residential area. His future mother-in-law worked in Rongcheng and usually only returned to Jiangzhu on weekends, so she bought an apartment at her company to live in!

My future mother-in-law has good taste; the house isn't luxuriously decorated, but it's quite elegant.

"Xiao Gao, tea or coffee?"

Jiang Tianqin asked.

"Auntie, no need, I'm not an outsider, I can just pour myself some water if I'm thirsty!" Gao Yan replied with a smile.

"That's true, then Auntie won't stand on ceremony with you. I'll go cut some fruit for you!"

"Mom, let me help you!"

A short while later.
