But they couldn't stop Ji Fengyao from speaking.

Even if they could gamble, Ji Fengyao didn't give them that chance. She announced her decision almost without pausing: "In order for our Dan Sect's alchemists to achieve resource freedom, I have decided to establish our own Dan Sect's Material Collection Department."

The Flying Kite Peak directly behind the main peak has always been empty.

Our materials gathering department can just move into Flying Kite Peak, then all six peaks of our Pill Sect will be complete. Six is ​​a lucky number, a very auspicious sign!

The four elders: "..."

Disciples: "..."

Ancestor, have you forgotten that Flying Iris Peak is the forbidden ground of the Dan Sect's founder?

Aren't you afraid that the patriarchs of the Dan Sect will jump out from the upper realm or the underworld and strangle you?

"Junior Sister Yun Yao..." Elder Jiang Daili felt it was necessary to offer some advice.

Ji Fengyao promptly cut off his persuasion, saying, "Senior Uncle, I know what you're going to say, but this isn't a special case requiring special treatment. Everyone knows 'a tree dies when transplanted, but a person thrives.' If we achieve freedom in medicinal herb resources, just think about it, who can we be controlled by in this Danling Continent? Then we'll all be the bosses, and we can refine pills for whomever we want!"

"But Fei..." Second Elder Qingluo also wanted to persuade him again.

Ji Fengyao turned around and interrupted her in time, continuing, "Second Martial Uncle, I know that Feiyuan Peak is the ancestral forbidden ground of our Dan Sect. The medicinal fields around Feiyuan Peak are planted with the precious treasures of our ancestors."

That's why I need to build a powerful force to guard Feiyuan Peak!

Everyone knows that most people in our Dan Sect are skilled in alchemy, but their cultivation techniques are rather lacking.

The world outside is in chaos, but for those outside, every alchemist in our Dan Sect is a walking treasure trove.

Are we relying on a mountain-protecting formation to protect ourselves?

The mountain-protecting formation consumes a large amount of rare and precious materials every time it is activated. Can we open it at sunrise and close it at sunset every day?

What if a thief sneaks in and steals?

What if the enemy launches a surprise attack and we don't have time to activate the defensive array?

"That's simple, then let's keep the mountain closed," Fourth Elder Wu Tianjun said gruffly. "It's better than Flying Kite Peak being..."

"To be defiled? Would that disturb the peace of our ancestors?" Ji Fengyao interrupted Wu Tianjun again, saying firmly, "Yes!"

We can keep the mountain closed, until the end of time!

The Demon Realm was sealed off, wiping out all mortal realms and cultivation realms, allowing demons to roam freely and cleansing away demonic energy!

Ultimately, the overwhelming demonic energy depleted the last trace of spiritual energy in the world.

Then, we'll all hole up in this great hall and peacefully await our death!

These words left everyone speechless, for they all knew she was absolutely right:

If the skin is gone, where will the hair attach?

If the Alchemy School remains hidden from the world at a time of global crisis, then even if humanity perishes, Heaven will destroy the Alchemy School.

Shang Xiye knew what their concerns were, and finally reassured them, saying, "You can rest assured, the Pill Sect's resource collection department is under my personal supervision and leadership. The people that Yao'er and I can bring into the Pill Sect have all undergone rigorous tests and are absolutely trustworthy. Anyone with even the slightest doubt will have to stay in a residence outside the Pill Sect and will not be allowed to set foot inside the sect."
