Tai Xuan Cave Heaven, Chaoyang Sect.
The Elders' Hall.
The Tai Xuan Cave Heaven is quite large, therefore, there are five sects within it.
The Chaoyang Sect is the strongest, possessing eight Grandmaster Elders.
The two sect leaders, one principal and one deputy, have both reached the Celestial Realm.
"Third Elder, why did you summon us at this hour?"
As soon as Tu Changyang stepped into the Elder Hall, he couldn't help but complain. Although they were all Grandmasters, they wouldn't be exhausted from being woken up in the middle of the night, but he was still a little annoyed. Couldn't they discuss this tomorrow?
“Senior Brother Lu called us to a meeting at this time, it must be something important. You are, after all, an elder of our Chaoyang Sect, can’t you tolerate something like this?”
A beautiful middle-aged woman in palace attire followed closely behind, and she disliked Tu Changyang, so she seized on his words and started to criticize him.
Tu Changyang gave an awkward smile, did not refute, and found a seat to sit down!
A short while later.
The other five elders of the Chaoyang Sect arrived one after another.
The First Elder, Shen Changsheng, looked at the Third Elder, Lu Changqing, and said, "Junior Brother Lu, everyone is here. If you have something to say, please say it quickly."
"Fellow disciples, here's what happened!"
Lu Changqing smiled and said, "The Qi family has given us two spirit stones."
"What? Spirit stones!"
The group, who had been feeling rather listless, suddenly perked up, with Tu Changyang even shouting out loud.
"Ahem, Fourth Junior Brother, don't be in a hurry, listen to me first!"
Lu Changqing coughed lightly and continued, "However, after Qingyun verified it, the spiritual energy within those two spirit stones had been completely exhausted. But according to the Qi family's report, both spirit stones came from a person named Gao Yan!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Quickly arrest that Gao Yan and make him hand over all the spirit stones he has!" Tu Changyang said urgently.
Spirit stones are extremely important to cultivators like them.
Although there is spiritual energy within the grotto-heaven.
However, the spiritual energy was too thin to meet the needs of grandmasters and experts. Only by using the spiritual energy within spirit stones to refine medicinal herbs into pills could they improve their cultivation.
Although there are spirit stone mines within the cave, they dare not mine them excessively.
After a year, the entire sect only received a few hundred coins in total.
Those of them who are elders can only receive ten spirit stones a year, so how could they not be excited when extra spirit stones appear?
"Fourth Brother, don't be too hasty!"
At this moment, Elder Shen Changsheng suddenly spoke up: "Our Chaoyang Sect needs spirit stones, but the other four sects don't? If we leave the cave in a big way, it will definitely arouse suspicion from the other four sects!"
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that it was indeed true; those who had reached the Grandmaster level would not easily leave their grotto-heaven.
The departure of any sect's grandmaster will attract the attention of the other four sects.
If Gao Yan had only accidentally obtained a few spirit stones that had run out of spiritual energy, that would be fine; at worst, he would have made a wasted trip.
However, if the other party still has spirit stones with spiritual energy, once the other four sects discover this, they will definitely want to share the spoils. Why share with others when you can have it all to yourself?
Therefore, a master must never leave the grotto.
Even if you leave, you need to find a suitable reason.
Shen Changsheng continued, "In this way, we will first send two Xiantian cultivators to make contact with Gao Yan. If he really has spirit stones with spiritual energy, we can divert funds from our affiliated families to buy them. This way, we can bring the spirit stones back without anyone noticing and without alerting the other four sects!"
The group generally agreed with the Elder's suggestion, since for cultivators like them, cultivation level was the most important thing, and money was just an external thing.
"Then, according to Senior Brother's suggestion, who should we send?" Ning Changyue asked.
"Why don't we send Qingzhu instead?"
The Grand Elder thought for a moment and said, "That girl is notoriously troublesome. We can create the illusion that she secretly ran away from the cave, and then send two disciples at the peak of the Innate Realm to search for her. That should not arouse the suspicion of the other four sects!"
"This method is good, but can Qingzhu complete the task?"
Some people expressed their concerns.
“Although that girl is usually mischievous, she is still trustworthy!” Ning Changyue couldn’t help but speak up to defend her disciple.
Although his disciple usually liked to be mischievous and play pranks, his cultivation had not suffered. He had already broken through to the peak of the Innate Realm at the age of eighteen.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will definitely advance to the Grandmaster level in the future.
It's a pity she was born in the wrong era; otherwise, in an era abundant with spiritual energy, not to mention becoming a grandmaster, even becoming a celestial being wouldn't be a problem.
As for now.
A sect can have a maximum of two Celestial Beings. Only when an older generation of Celestial Beings perishes will a new Celestial Being be allowed to be born, since the spiritual energy within the cave heaven cannot support an extra Celestial Being powerhouse.
"Fifth Junior Sister, Qingzhu is your disciple, so you should explain this matter!" Shen Changsheng said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I will definitely give Qingzhu some careful instructions so that she can complete this mission!"
"Alright, that concludes today's meeting. Remember, don't leak a single word out!" Shen Changsheng instructed.
Everyone nodded solemnly.
The next morning.
Ning Changyue called Song Qingzhu to her side.
"Master, did you need something from me?"
Song Qingzhu wasn't afraid of her seemingly serious master at all; she skipped over and grabbed his arm.
"You brat, you're eighteen years old and you still act like you'll never grow up!"
