What are your plans to do next?
Huang Zhiping looked at Shang Yanting.
Wan Qijing is not an easy character to deal with. I don't know why she attacked Xianlong Peak, but she has obviously suffered such a big loss. She will definitely have some big moves to make later.
"Now that Xianlong Peak has suffered a great loss of vitality, we can only take it one step at a time."
Shang Yanting sighed, indicating that he had no other choice.
"Hopefully, Wan Qijing has learned her lesson this time and won't act too quickly."
Too.
Huang Zhiping thought about the current situation at Xianlong Peak.
Although he outmaneuvered Wanqijing, Xianlong Peak also suffered significant losses. Yan Qing was intelligent and talented in cultivation, but he had a major weakness: a shallow foundation and weak power.
"Your divine phoenix is quite rare."
Seeing his pitiful state, Huang Zhiping reminded him that although he didn't need to be told, Shang Yanting would find out about this sooner or later.
Of all the events, the awakening of the Divine Phoenix was something Shang Yanting had not anticipated.
An unexpected bonus.
"The Divine Phoenix is a magical beast born of heaven and earth. Like the Dragon Clan, it is born with the strength of a Martial King. If it is well cared for, it can become a guardian beast of the mountain."
"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist."
Shang Yanting bowed slightly to him, "I'm sorry to have bothered you these past few days, fellow Daoist."

The news of Xianlong Peak being attacked at night spread like wildfire throughout the academy's various main peaks.
Those powerful figures at the Martial King level wouldn't discuss this casually due to their status, but the peak masters of the lower peaks had already made it a topic of conversation in private.
"Within Dingtian Academy, the main peak of a Martial King has been attacked. Is the academy's grand formation just for show?"
"Hmph, outsiders wouldn't dare to run wild in the academy. And attacking them while their peak master was away shows they've been watching them for a long time."
"People from our college?"
Upon hearing this analysis, the others lowered their voices.
"Otherwise what?"
Another person countered with a question.
"I heard that three groups of people were present at the time. Huang Zhiping from Zhenyuan Peak went to help, and Dean Qu was also invited by people from Xianlong Peak. Only the patriarch of the Wanqi Clan came from afar uninvited and even wanted to take people from Xianlong Peak away..."
It turns out that, regardless of social status, everyone has a penchant for gossip.
Whether this is true or not, apart from the peaks that are pro-Wanqi clan, the other peaks are all watching the spectacle with amusement. Even Wanqi Yi knows about it and has summoned Wanqi Jing for a talk.
On the other side
When Xianlong Peak was destroyed and rebuilt, Jia Xitong went back to check on it immediately.
She was heartbroken that the house was destroyed, but what she cared about most were the few Langmu trees and the Tianshen Fruit Vine on the mountaintop.
Pu Yun is blind.
She returned to her room, where the Langmu trees planted outside the main hall were still alive and well, but the Ice Heart Stone on the mountaintop had been removed, and the ice that had been piled up for a long time began to melt during the day.
The ginseng fruit vine cannot withstand heat! (M.cascoo.net)
Jia Xitong hurriedly went to find Huo Rui and Niu Chuanchuan.
"We did find a cold stone when we were handling the body."
Niu Chuanchuan took out the stone, and it turned out to be the lost Ice Heart Stone.
However, the stone has shrunk, shrinking by a whole size.
"I don't know, I found it in a pile of minced meat."
Niu Chuanchuan answered truthfully, completely unaware that most of the Ice Heart Stone had been burned by the Nirvana True Fire of the Iron Egg Flower, and that it was already lucky that so much of it remained.
"It's okay, it should still work."
She took the Ice Heart Stone and hurriedly ran towards the mountaintop. If it didn't work, she would have to find the Snow Mountain Ginseng Fruit Vine.
So you're in such a hurry?
Niu Niu didn't understand how important this matter was, and turned to walk towards the bedroom.

Below the sleeping quarters
Shang Yanting had a secret room built.
The area was covered with talismans of light, and a giant black dragon was coiled within it. Suddenly, it used its claws to dig into one of its own scales, and with a sudden burst of strength, a palm-sized scale was torn off along with a piece of flesh.
Plucking dragon scales raw is as painful as cutting one's own skin.
Of course, this cannot compare to the pain of having one's marrow extracted in a dream.
Blood flowed down the wound, and he transformed back into a human. He casually bandaged the wound, washed the dragon scale clean, put it in a box, and asked Huo Rui to deliver it to Huang Zhiping.
"etc."
On the way there, he called Huo Rui back.
"Your Excellency?"
"Inside is a treasure I encountered by chance in Guangkun Xuzhou, to express my gratitude to Peak Master Huang for protecting the peak. I don't want anyone to see this, but it has to be seen."
If it were Niu Chuanchuan, he definitely wouldn't understand what he was saying.
Huo Rui was also stunned for a moment before he understood what he meant.
"yes."
Huo Rui carried the box containing the dragon scales out with both hands, and it wasn't until three days later that the item was safely delivered to Huang Zhiping.
Dragon scales are a really good thing!
He can do everything, from alchemy to weapon crafting.
In various ancient texts of metaphysics, the dragon race is described as having many valuable parts. If the dragon race hadn't once been far more powerful than any other race, they would have long been skinned, dismembered, and had their hearts ripped out.
Even when the dragon race was at its peak, they still had to carefully protect their young.
Huang Zhiping had expected Yan Qing to send a gift of thanks, but he never expected that in addition to the Primordial Taiyi Pill, there would also be a rare treasure, the Dragon Scale.
That's too generous!
All of this made him suspect that there might be a trap involved.
"Did your peak master ask you to deliver a message?"
Huang Zhiping asked.
"Oh, the Peak Master said that the friendship between Xianlong Peak and Zhenyuan Peak will last forever."
Huo Rui added a sentence at the last minute.
If it were any other object, Huang Zhiping probably wouldn't want it at this moment.
