Chapter 186 List (1)
When Xijing and the others came back, it was already late at night.
Tao Zi asked with a smile: "Why so late?"
Zhao Xue placed the pile of things he was carrying on the table and said, "I was fascinated by the storytelling."
She followed up on his words and asked, "What story do you want to hear?"
Zhao Xue recalled for a moment and said, "They are probably the people sent here by the three sects and four schools."
Tao Zi was a little surprised and asked, "Has the list come out yet?"
"It is said that they have already arrived near Xuanling Valley. Someone used a mirror to send a message."
Han Yueshan fiddled with the things on the table and added, "Except for the Minglan Sect, the list of other sects is incomplete."
Tao Zi raised an eyebrow, and the Flower Monk sighed and said, "Everyone in the Minglan Sect, from the leader to the ordinary disciples, has been exposed. Although this training does not need to be kept secret, it is too careless to be so unprepared."
Li Xiu asked, "Did you buy that list?"
Xi was silent for a moment, then whispered, "We don't have any spirit stones or spirit tools."
He slapped his forehead and said, "Forget it. Is the seller still around? I'll go buy it."
Han Yueshan shook his head and said, "There's no need to go over there. We spent a few spells listening to the general idea and wrote down a lot."
Hearing this, Li Xiu said, "We are just a group of low-level cultivators. The more information we have, the better."
Han Yueshan scratched his head and told the direction.
She looked at the little fox in her arms and said, "Little fox, go with Brother Xiu. If anything happens, let me know in time."
The little fox jumped onto Li Xiu's shoulder reluctantly.
Tao Zi looked at Yue Shan and the others and asked, "Who is the leader of the Ming Lan Sect?"
Xi Jing replied, "It's their young master—Xu Qianjia."
Her eyes dimmed and she asked, "Are there any other elders coming?"
"Yes, two Nascent Soul Elders have arrived. I heard they are both very powerful, and one of them has even reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage."
Zhao Xue added, "Their purpose seems to be to return the spiritual plant."
"Hmm?" Tao Zi quickly analyzed the situation and said, "Is someone's spiritual vein damaged? Or is it kept as a backup?"
"I heard that it was Minglan Sect's junior sister Lian Qingzhou whose spiritual veins were damaged."
At this time, the Flower Monk said, "I have heard of this."
Tao Zi looked over.
"It is said that more than a year ago, the remnants of Yue Qiran who remained in the Minglan Sect attacked Lian Qingzhou, damaging his spiritual veins to the point where he could no longer cultivate. Later, with the help of Xing Zhan, the head of the Punishment Hall, it was repaired. However, not long ago, an incident occurred in Xulan Palace, and the spiritual veins were damaged again, so the spiritual plant was urgently needed."
She lowered her eyes to hide her emotions and said, "It looks like we are going to become enemies with the Minglan Sect."
The ignorant Flower Monk blurted out, "That's not necessarily true. The Minglan Sect is one of the three sects. We can't defeat them. We might as well get some other medicinal herbs."
Han Yueshan disagreed: "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. If you don't give it a try, who will know?"
The Flower Monk thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense. Then we should practice our escape skills diligently."
She asked casually, "Did Lian Qingzhou come with you during this training?"
"No, she was sent back to Minglan Sect by her senior brother Lan Yongji to recuperate."
Tao Zi nodded and said, "Is that so."
Zhao Xue said at this time: "I heard that the young master is the most powerful among the younger generation of Minglan Sect. His greatest characteristic is that everything can be used as a weapon."
The flower monk smiled and said, "More or less."
This slightly nonchalant attitude made Tao Zi look over in surprise.
Han Yueshan was shocked: "Brother Hua, he's in the Golden Core Stage, how dare you have such an attitude?"
The Flower Monk smiled and said, "He's already two hundred years old. When I reach his age, I won't be much different."
Xi Jing still felt something was wrong, so she moved closer to him and asked mysteriously, "That's still not right. Are you hiding something from us?"
He looked at them and they looked at him.
After a long while, the Flower Monk finally spoke: "I have heard a lot of things, so I have some opinions about him."
Tao Zi also became curious: "What's the matter?"
He cast a soundproofing spell before saying, "Back when Yue Qiran was still around, the resources of Minglan Sect's main peak were almost all concentrated on Xu Qianjia, He Qianyi, and Lan Yongji, while Yue Qiran didn't get much. Yet, Yue Qiran reached the Golden Core stage and even fought against an early Nascent Soul cultivator and escaped unscathed."
Xi Jing was a little confused: "What's wrong? Why don't I understand?"
The Flower Monk continued, "Xu Qianjia is the one who benefited the most, but he still can't beat Yue Qiran—she's only three or four years older than him. It can be said that he's been able to get to where he is today thanks to a lot of resources. If those resources were given to Yue Qiran, the younger generation of the Minglan Sect would have reached the Nascent Soul stage long ago, and Yue Qiran wouldn't have wasted a hundred years in the Golden Core stage."
Han Yueshan suddenly realized and gave a precise assessment: "He's occupying the toilet but not doing anything."
Hua Seng choked, but after thinking about it, it seemed to be somewhat true.
He sighed and said, "My master once said that in terms of talent, Yue Qiran is comparable to me, but unfortunately he is not smart enough and doesn't even have any resources for himself."
Tao Zi's mouth twitched. She suddenly became curious about one thing. In the eyes of various sects in the world of immortal cultivation, how stupid was she? Even a senior from the Buddhist sect had this feeling.
Xi Jing said on the side: "It sounds like Yue Qiran's brain is indeed not good enough."
"I heard that she believes that the more powerful young people there are, the more stable the Minglan Sect will be, so she allocates resources this way."
Han Yueshan commented: "But if she is strong enough, her junior brothers and sisters below can enjoy more resources. Why should she distribute the resources?"
Zhao Xue echoed, "Yeah, blindly giving resources to junior brothers and sisters without considering whether it's appropriate or not isn't a good idea, right? Besides, it's easy to spoil the junior brothers and sisters below you, isn't it, Senior Sister?"
She nodded silently.
In the end, these people came to a unanimous conclusion: Yue Qiran’s brain was not working well.
After the chat, the fox cousin suddenly remembered something. When she was in Xulan Palace, someone mentioned that Yue Qiran seemed to have been poisoned by some kind of poison?
It couldn't remember, so it simply put the thought aside. Anyway, no matter what, it was clear that the dignified Jindan was being tricked by someone, which meant that his brain wasn't working properly. There was no doubt about that.
Tao Zi silently took a sip of tea and changed the subject: "By the way, what realm is this young sect master at now? What level of Jindan is he at?"
Han Yueshan replied casually: "I heard it is the fifth level of Jindan."
Hearing this answer, she was a little surprised. If she remembered correctly, before she jumped off the cliff, Xu Qianjia was already in the late fifth level, just one step away from the sixth level. It had been three years, and he still hadn't been promoted?
