Chapter 138 Save me!

Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar voice, Yu Yixian stood up suddenly as if he was whipped.

But the next moment, she realized her mistake and immediately suppressed her fluctuating emotions. She put on a stern face and asked in a cold tone, "What are you doing here?"

Ge Fuling stood there motionless. The cold mountain wind blew her plain blue shirt and messed up her hair which was mixed with a few strands of white.

She suppressed her excitement and said in a trembling voice, "I just went to the cave to ask to see Master, but the monk on duty said you weren't here. Remembering that Master used to love to come here to practice in seclusion on the cliff, I came to see him. I never thought that Master would be here."

Yu Yixian's lips curled up into a mocking smile. "Don't call me Master, it sounds disgusting. Ever since you married into the Spirit Sword Sect for that bitch, the relationship between you and me as master and disciple has been severed!"

Having said that, he didn't even look at Ge Fuling and strode down the mountain.

Ge Fuling was immediately anxious and quickly chased after him, "Master... Vice Sect Master Yu, I know I've committed a grave sin and have failed you in your careful cultivation. But, but now the Spirit Sword Sect wants to send me to the Demon Realm. That Demon Lord is a murderer, and I'm afraid I won't survive this trip. Please, for the sake of our past master-disciple relationship, save me!"

Yu Yixian paused and asked why Ge Fuling was able to enter the Jinmen Immortal Palace. It turned out that she came here with Elder Xujun.

What's even more ridiculous is that they came here as hostages.

She still remembered what Ge Fuling had said to her, "What's the point of having a powerful cultivation base? Isn't there still no male cultivator willing to marry Master? I'd rather marry the young master of the Spirit Sword Sect, live a simple life, and work as a cook, than fight for a few cultivation resources here!"

So, this is the ordinary life she wants?

Yu Yixian turned to look at Ge Fuling, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, "My dear Fuling, you really know how to joke. As I recall, your good Taoist partner is the young master of the Spirit Sword Sect. How could he be willing to send you to the Demon Realm?"

A desolate look appeared on Ge Fuling's face. "He, he has already broken off the engagement with me because I failed to give him a gifted child."

It was only later that she learned that the young master had chosen her because of her exceptional talent, being one of the best female cultivators in the immortal race. He wanted to find a mother of exceptional talent for his child.

At that time, he praised her for being completely different from those weak and naive female cultivators, and for being heroic and eye-catching.

After hearing this, Ge Fuling fell in love instantly, and was even willing to break up with Yu Yixian in order to marry into the Lingjian Sect.

Now, she knew she was wrong, but she couldn't turn back unless Yu Yixian was willing to help her.

Ge Fuling carefully observed Yu Yixian's expression, mustered her courage, reached out and grabbed a corner of her clothes, and pleaded in a low voice: "Master, please save me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Yixian grabbed her wrist, and a domineering spiritual power flowed along her meridians and went straight into her dantian.

"Ugh...it hurts!" Ge Fuling bit her lips, her face pale, but she didn't dare to struggle at all.

The next moment, Yu Yixian shook off her wrist and sneered, "After so many years, your cultivation has actually regressed instead of improved, and you've even fallen to the final stage of foundation building. You're such a loser!"

Ge Fuling's whole body stiffened, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart.

She didn't want to, but the young master wanted a child with extraordinary talent, so she could only use her own spiritual energy to nourish the spiritual pearl for conception. What made her miserable was that every time she nurtured a spiritual fetus, it was either disabled or useless, and none of them could satisfy the young master.

In the end, she could only watch helplessly as the spirit fetuses that had sucked away her spiritual energy turned into blood, and her cultivation level fell to the foundation-building stage after repeated gestation.

Her spiritual roots had long been scarred, her spiritual pearl had lost its former luster, her spiritual energy was thin, and she could no longer cultivate a spiritual fetus.

"I don't like doing worthless things, let alone wasting time on a piece of trash." Yu Yixian said indifferently.

Ge Fuling's pupils trembled. She could hardly believe that Yu Yixian had no sympathy for her at all.

Do I have to ask her to dig out her heart before she will help her?

Ge Fuling wanted to say something else, but Yu Yixian turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared right in front of her.

Her face instantly darkened, and her teeth clenched. "Oh, I should have thought of it long ago. Yu Yixian is a cold-blooded monster. How could she possibly help me? She deserves to be unwanted by any man!"

Just as she finished speaking, a strong mountain wind blew in from the edge of the cliff, blowing up her thin clothes. She was weak and frail, and she staggered a few steps and almost fell.

Ge Fuling was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly steadied herself and raised her hands to gather her messy clothes. She didn't dare to stay on the cliff any longer and walked quickly back to the residence arranged for them as hostages by the Jinmen Immortal Palace.

As soon as she entered the door, someone looked at her and said with a chuckle, "Didn't you go to see your master? Why are you back so soon? It seems that our Deputy Sect Leader Yu has forgotten about you."

Ge Fuling's face flushed red, and a hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes, but she had no way to refute it, and she felt even more resentful towards Yu Yixian.

The other monks saw that she was angry but couldn't say anything, and they knew that her plan to leave here had failed, so they couldn't help but make some sarcastic remarks.

"I advise everyone to stay put and don't just think about running away. When the sect was protecting us, we enjoyed ourselves peacefully. Now that the sect needs our help, what would it look like if we ran away? It would be a disgrace to the female cultivators of the Spirit Sword Sect!"

"That's right. I won't leave anyway. Maybe I can kill a few demons in the Demon Realm. I'm not like some cowards who are irresponsible and only care about their own lives. They are so selfish!"

Ge Fuling walked silently to her bed and sat down, her face turning red and white, and her hands on her knees slowly clenched.

Do you really think that you will have a good ending after entering the Demon Realm? What a bunch of idiots!

At the same time, Chi Lu, who was sitting in the safe house, saw this ironic scene through the viewing mirror.

"There are actually people who volunteered. Am I wronging Yu Yixian?" Looking at those monks with proud faces, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Hey, the account book data of Jinmen Xianfu for the past ten years has been analyzed, take a look for yourself!" Liu Shen'ai suddenly appeared and slapped a virtual chart in her face.

Chi Qi came back to her senses, shifted her gaze from the world-viewing mirror, and looked at the chart.

These are the sect's account books that Yu Yixian had just sent over. There are nearly a hundred of them. I didn't expect that Liu Shen'ai could analyze the data so quickly and got the results right away.

According to analysis, the main sources of spiritual stone income for Jinmen Xianfu are spiritual stone taxes from the people in the three states of Qian, Bei and Zhong and spiritual mine mining. However, the output of spiritual mines has been declining year by year, while the proportion of spiritual stone taxes has been increasing.

In other words, the spiritual ore is becoming less and less as it is mined, and the only way to maintain a balance between income and expenditure is to continuously exploit the human race and increase taxes.

In terms of expenditure, 40% is used for the cultivation of the sect's monks and elders, 10% is used for the maintenance of the mountain protection formation and various temples, 10% is used for the remuneration and expenses of the three state lords and immortal envoys, and the remaining 40% is all used for the retreat and cultivation of the great master Gongsun Xiong!

Chi Li was completely astonished. No, who the hell was this Gongsun Xiong? Why did he alone have to spend nearly 40% of the spirit stones?

She slipped out of the safe house, told the monk to call Yu Yixian, and then went to the study and sat down.

After a while, Yu Yixian came as summoned.

"What are your orders, Sect Master?"

"Elder Yu, I've finished reading the account books, but I have a question that I need your help with."

Yu Yixian raised his eyebrows in surprise. So fast?

But she knew that the identity of Xie Yuqing in front of her was a mystery, so she restrained her expression and tried not to delve into it.

She said calmly, "Master, please ask."

Chi Li's voice was cold, "Why does the sect have to provide nearly 40% of its annual spirit stone income to Gongsun Xiong alone?"

Yu Yixian coughed lightly twice. "Ahem... Sect Master, please don't address Grandmaster Gongsun by his name. As for your concerns, I can only say that the reason Jinmen Immortal Mansion maintains its position as the number one sect is precisely because of Grandmaster Gongsun's leadership. Grandmaster Gongsun is already a powerful being in the Tribulation Realm, only half a step away from ascending to godhood. The number of spirit stones required for cultivation is naturally enormous."

Chi Yan glanced at her and said, "Speak human language."

Yu Yixian immediately changed his tone, "If we were short of Grandmaster Gongsun's spirit stones, he would absolutely come out of seclusion and raze the sect to the ground. However, if the sect leader can withstand his wrath, then these spirit stones are not a must."

Chi Li closed her eyes and calculated in her mind how many points she would need to deal with a powerful person in the Tribulation Realm.

The conclusion is that she still needs 1 billion yuan.

Chi Li's eyes almost popped out of her head. This was too unrealistic, wasn't it? From Nascent Soul to Tribulation, there were only four realms of difference. Could the gap be so huge?

Completing the main mission would only reward her with 20 million points at most. Where would she get 1 billion points?

Chi Li opened her eyes and fell completely silent.

Yu Yixian didn't know that she was planning to blow Gongsun Xiong to death. Seeing her silence, he thought that she had given up the idea of getting rich by withholding Gongsun Xiong's spirit stones.

That's good, after all, she doesn't want to die just yet.

Yu Yixian smiled and asked, "Sect Master, do you have any other questions?"

Chi Li waved her hand, "No more, go and get busy."

Yu Yixian agreed and turned to walk out the door. Just as he reached the door, Chi Li called out, "Wait, um... Elder Xujun, are you taking the hostages and leaving for the Demon Realm tomorrow?"

Yu Yixian turned around and replied, "Yes."

"You make the arrangements. I'll go with him and tour the three states along the way."

Yu Yixian was a little surprised. Was it because of the memories she showed Chi Lan yesterday that she came up with the idea of touring the human world?

She was a little confused about this person's purpose.

But he still agreed, "Yes, I will arrange it."

Chi Qi watched Yu Yixian leave, and immediately opened the points panel. Looking at the 50 million points displayed on it, she hugged her head in frustration. It was not enough at all!

It seems that I can't rely on myself to deal with Gongsun Xiong, I have to spur Qiu Qianling on.

As the heroine, how could she not even be able to defeat a mere Tribulation Realm cultivator? Is this reasonable? It's unreasonable!

At night, Chi Lu once again transformed into Murong Ci and entered Qiu Qianling's dream.

She looked at Qiu Qianling who was struggling with the demon spider and nodded approvingly, "I think you can go to the Demon Realm to deal with Fentian now."

Qiu Qianling, who couldn't even defeat the Demon Spider: Huh?!
