Jiang Dailu didn't look at Song Chengzhou and Jinse again. Instead, he stepped forward, put his hands behind his back, and bowed, saying, "Nephew, you don't need to take their words to heart. To be honest, I was indeed a little unwell when you returned this time."

First, his own cultivation was insufficient, and he had not yet escaped worldly constraints; second, he worried that his junior disciple was too young to shoulder the great responsibility of maintaining the Dan Sect.

However, since the sect leader decided to hand over the Dan Sect to his junior disciple before he left, it was probably not out of favoritism or a whim.

Moreover, your talent is unmatched in our Dan Sect, and you have spent a thousand years traveling and training outside. I think... I think you shouldn't be as naive and ignorant as you were a thousand years ago.

I am reluctant to hand over the Dan Sect back to my junior disciple, and all power will return to the main peak. However, I am not unwilling to do so.

I only hope that my junior disciple will do his utmost to treat the Alchemy Sect well, and not let the reputation that the Alchemy Sect has built up over hundreds of thousands of years be ruined in an instant.

Jiang Dailu carefully chose his words, but he did not hide his unhappiness, and his words were very sincere.

Upon hearing this, Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye both secretly breathed a sigh of relief and revealed knowing smiles:

As expected, those who can sit in this position in the Pill Sect are generally reliable in character.

As long as the elders remain united in their support of the Pill Sect, even if some of the more ambitious disciples are not a threat.

"I have taken your wise words to heart, Grandmaster Uncle," Ji Fengyao said to Jiang Dailu, her attitude becoming much more humble. "As I've come this far, I've seen that for nearly a thousand years, Grandmaster Uncle has managed the Dan Sect very well."

Moreover, I also heard on my way back that for nearly a thousand years, our Dan Sect has been in a state of seclusion, and no one has ever come down the mountain.

This is not only due to everyone's concerted efforts and unity, but also inseparable from your encouragement and guidance, Master Uncle.

On behalf of my master and the main peak, thank you!

Thank you all even more for your contributions to the Pill Sect and your unwavering dedication to protecting it!

These words, spoken by Ji Fengyao, surprised everyone and brought smiles to the faces of everyone present.

Song Chengzhou and Jinse were filled with shame, wishing they could bite off their own tongues and never have said those things.

The atmosphere in the hall instantly improved.

Led by the four peak masters, everyone reported their respective situations over the past thousand years to Ji Fengyao.

Ji Fengyao now has a general understanding of the current Dan Sect.

The thousand-year closure of the mountain has both advantages and disadvantages.

Fortunately, after thousands of years of accumulation, the Dan Sect now possesses an astonishing amount of elixirs and herbs.

Unfortunately, without the replenishment of external resources, some alchemy disciples had no medicinal materials to practice with, and they were severely lacking in experience in refining these pills, resulting in a generally low success rate for these pills.

However, none of this mattered to Ji Fengyao. As long as the Dan Sect reopened, she believed that countless people would flock over to deliver medicinal herbs.

Ji Fengyao also told the Dan Sect about what was happening outside, and everyone listened with solemn expressions.

They had considered that the outside world might have changed over the past thousand years, but they never expected the Danling Continent to be in such chaos.

Only then did Shang Xiye speak: "Therefore, I suggest that when you refine pills for others in the future, you should be selective in what you refine. You should know what kind of person you are, what kind of pill you are refining, and what the other party wants to use it for. You should all keep that in mind."

Our Dan Sect does not commit evil, nor does it aid others in evil; we must never ruin ourselves or others for temporary gain.
