Chapter 290 Rumors
Tao Zi lowered her voice and asked the tea drinker beside her: "Does your sect not give gifts to Ming Lan Sect?"
The tea drinker looked at her in confusion and said, "How is that possible? Of course I have to give it to you."
"Then why doesn't the Minglan Sect intervene?" Tao Zi paused, then continued, "Even if they've offended them, they can't just say they don't care. At most, they'll find excuses to delay or come more slowly. The Three Sects and Four Schools are the benchmarks of the cultivation world. No matter what, they can't tolerate demonic beasts and demonic cultivators causing trouble."
The tea guest lowered his voice and said, "Logically speaking, the Minglan Sect should be in charge, but the situation has been bad recently, and they simply can't spare the time to deal with these matters."
Tao Zi opened her eyes wide, her face full of curiosity: "What's wrong?"
The tea drinker coughed a few times, glanced around, and said mysteriously, "Young lady, you don't understand this. It's said, and it's just said, that many strongholds of the Minglan Sect were destroyed. Coincidentally, the ones who survived were all from the main peak. The people from other peaks caused several disturbances."
"More than that!" A man in blue clothes suddenly came over from the next table.
"Ah!" The man who had been doing the science tutorial was startled and said, "Friend, don't be so sudden. This is too scary."
"Then do you want to listen?"
"Listen, listen, my friend, and speak quickly."
The man in blue pulled a chair over and whispered, "Didn't the competition just end recently? The young sect leader lost to a physical cultivator. It's a huge loss of face. Many peaks are planning to take advantage of the situation!"
The tea drinker was shocked and asked, "Can this be robbed?"
He made a pinching gesture and said, "Under normal circumstances, most resources would be distributed to the main peak. Now that this has happened, doesn't it give the other peaks a reason to get more?"
The tea drinker suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, if the main peak can't be built, it's really not good to take up too many resources."
"You can't say that. The main peak has a sect master and a junior sect master, which is different from other peaks."
Other tea drinkers also came over, their faces full of interest.
"Hey, Minglan Sect is Minglan Sect, and other sects are other sects. They cannot be mixed up."
Someone asked in confusion: "Why do you say that?"
Just as they were happily discussing, the man in blue looked around and asked in confusion: "Where is that little girl from just now? Why is she gone?"
Someone casually replied, "Maybe he left for something."
Everyone continued to discuss.
Who doesn’t like gossip, especially gossip about famous people in the world of cultivation?
"Senior Sister!"
Tao Zi had just walked out of the teahouse when she heard Xi Jing's voice. She turned around and saw that they were rushing towards her.
Xi Jing came over and said, "Senior Sister, Senior Brother Li said you must be in the teahouse. I didn't expect you to be there."
Li Xiu followed behind him and asked curiously: "Is there anything interesting?"
She recounted the story, and Xi Jing's first reaction was, "Ah, those families who lost their children are so miserable."
She sighed, "I hope the demon behind this can be caught soon."
Li Xiu's focus was completely different: "This is the territory of the Ming Lan Sect."
Tao Zi understood what he meant and said, "It's considered a marginal area."
"Speaking of which, how could a mortal know these things?"
She smiled, and Li Xiu decisively skipped the topic and said, "We have all the herbs, and it's getting dark. Shall we go back?"
"Let's go."
When they reached the entrance of the town, they heard bursts of crying. Xi Jing couldn't help but go over to take a look. A woman in her twenties or twenties was kneeling on the ground, crying loudly with a baby whose skeleton was just a skeleton in her hands, like a madman.
Xi Jing couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
Someone on the street whispered, "A child was lost in her family before, and this is what they found him in."
"It's pitiful. She got pregnant after ten years of marriage. Her husband's family has been unhappy for a long time. Now she finally has a child, but she ends up like this. It's really a sin."
People on the pass were comforting each other and whispering to each other. Soon someone came from my husband's family. It was an old woman.
Her eyes were red as she pulled the woman on the ground: "Come on, why are you crying here? Are you still going to do your housework? Are you still going to make a living?"
The woman cried louder and louder, and the old woman began to drive away the onlookers around her, leaving only some familiar ones behind.
Xi Jing and the others walked away silently. Li Xiu whispered, "Those who did this were truly cruel."
Xi Jing said gloomily, "What if it's a demon? Who would be so cruel?"
Li Xiu sighed and said, "You haven't seen a demon cultivator face to face. Once you do, you'll know."
When the group returned there, the sun had just set, and there were rows of lounge chairs in front of the rows of physical practitioners.
Tao Zi: "...What are you doing?"
Zhao Xue replied with a guilty conscience: "Just sit on the reclining chair and control your strength."
Zhou Qiandan vaguely realized that something was wrong and hesitated, "Senior Sister, how is our recliner?"
"That's great. When the sect is short of money, we can sell it and make some pocket money."
For a moment, they couldn't tell whether it was a mockery or a compliment.
Zhao Xue called out again, feeling guilty: "Senior Sister?"
Tao Zi said, "I really think this recliner is well made, at least better than mine. Master will definitely like it. By the way, Li Xiu, take out the herbs. If possible, let's start tonight."
Li Xiu responded: "That's no problem."
Xi Jing stood there for a while, thinking: "Sister, we can't always spend Senior Brother Li's money. We have to find some way to make money."
Tao Zi took out a pile of spirit stones from her storage ring and said to their stunned faces, "We have money."
Li Xiu put down the herbs and looked at her: "No, wait, Tao Zi, you have money, why are you spending mine?"
"Uh, I forgot."
"Sister Tao, do you know how hard it is for a medical practitioner like me to make money?"
Cheng Wuchou leaned against a small table at the side and said with a smile: "Based on my understanding of your master, it is really easy for medical practitioners to make money."
He choked and processed the herbs again.
Tao Zi smiled and said, "I'll give the spirit stones to Xi Jing today, and the expenses from now on will be paid from this."
"I'll do the books now!"
Xi Jing ran into the house holding a pile of spirit stones. The cultivators were squatting beside the recliners, sharpening their protrusions.
Tao Zi looked at them, and Zhou Qiandan laughed dryly and said, "It has to be finished."
She glanced at it and said calmly, "The back of the chair is very rubbing and has many thorns."
After saying that, Tao Zi turned around and went back to the room.
Early the next morning, she woke up early, a rare occasion. When she opened the door, she saw everyone chatting outside.
Tao Zi: "...It's so early. These people don't sleep?
Zhou Qiandan said excitedly: "I took a medicinal bath last night and couldn't fall asleep."
Another physical cultivator also nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, a medical cultivator is a medical cultivator. After taking this medicine, I feel refreshed."
Tao Zi said: "Okay, let me see your current strength first."
Except for the one in the Body Tempering Stage, no one else has ever fought with her.
