"Junior brother, what brings you here?"
As soon as the young disciple approached, Lin Xiaofei quickly asked.
"Senior Brother Lin, Steward Zhang from the Internal Affairs Pavilion asked me to inform you that all the elite disciples of Bai Xuefeng must gather at the entrance of the sect's mountain gate early tomorrow morning."
"Senior brother, you will be going hunting at Snow Demon Ridge with two other elite disciples of the other peak masters."
The young disciple said respectfully.
"Junior brother, I didn't accept any hunting mission from the Internal Affairs Pavilion. Are you sure you haven't told the wrong person?"
Lin Xiaofei frowned slightly and said directly.
"Senior Brother Lin, you've only been at our White Snow Peak for a little over a month, so there may be some things you don't yet understand."
As he spoke, the young cultivator swallowed hard and said, "
Our Loose Cultivator Alliance is composed of forces from three main peaks, and our elite disciples are the backbone of our sect.
The three peak masters knew that the elite disciples were usually busy cultivating and rarely communicated with each other. The bond between fellow disciples was weak, which was detrimental to the development of the sect.
Therefore, the three peak masters decided that every six months, the elite disciples of the three main peaks would go hunting together, also to foster closer relationships among them.
Nodding, Lin Xiaofei replied, "
I see."
On the other side, inside the main hall of Little Fire Peak, a middle-aged cultivator sat upright on a chair made of golden silk spirit wood. His expression was calm, and his eyes, sharp as an eagle's, stared at a subordinate below him. He said indifferently, "
"How's the matter I asked you to handle?"
"Reporting to Peak Master Zhou, after several days of observation, we have found that Lin Xiaofei has been going back and forth between the Spirit Plant Valley and the Internal Affairs Pavilion on White Snow Peak, and there is no sign of him going out."
We can't lure him outside the mountain gate in a short time."
Liu Zhi bowed and said with a nervous expression.
Peak Master Zhou frowned, pondered for a moment, and asked:
Do you know why Lin Xiaofei keeps going back and forth between the Spirit Plant Valley and the Internal Affairs Pavilion?
"In response to Peak Master Zhou, Lin Xiaofei posted a task in the Internal Affairs Pavilion of White Snow Peak: anyone who knows where to find blood ginseng that is over 300 years old can receive 5,000 low-grade spirit stones from him once they inform him."
He went to the Imperial Household Department every day to check if anyone had accepted his task.
Liu Zhixiang quickly said.
Upon hearing this, Peak Master Zhou Feilong's eyes lit up, and he said:
Tomorrow, the elite disciples from the three main peaks will gather together for a hunting trip. Lin Xiaofei is an elite disciple, so he will likely join them.
"When the time comes, can you think of a way to lure them away?"
"this..."
Liu Zhixiang looked nervous, sweat beading on his forehead, and said in a low voice:
"Peak Master Zhou, tomorrow Lin Xiaofei will be with many elite disciples, and I don't know him, so it will be difficult to lure him away."
"waste!"
Zhou Feilong gave a cold snort, his eyes darting around, and said:
Since Lin Xiaofei wants information about blood ginseng that is over 300 years old, let's use this to distract him.
At the summit of Snow Mist Mountain in Snow Demon Ridge, there is a late-stage Tier 1 Snow Leopard guarding a 450-year-old Blood Ginseng. You should tell Lin Xiaofei this information.
"As soon as Lin Xiaofei goes to Snow Mist Mountain, send me a message immediately, and I will come as soon as possible."
"yes!"
Liu Zhixiang bowed in response, but looked puzzled. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "
"Peak Master Zhou, a 450-year-old blood ginseng is an extremely precious spiritual material. If we tell Lin Xiaofei about it, wouldn't that be giving him a freebie?"
"Tomorrow morning, after I finish dealing with the things at hand, I will go to Snow Mist Mountain in advance to have a big battle with that late-stage Tier 1 Snow Leopard and dig up the Blood Ginseng that the Snow Leopard has been guarding for many years."
Of course, even if I arrived late, with Lin Xiaofei's strength at the ninth level of Qi Refining, there was no way he could defeat that late-stage first-tier flying snow leopard.
Also, regarding the blood ginseng, you can only tell Lin Xiaofei; remember, no one else must hear about it.
Zhou Feilong said with a serious expression.
"Yes!" Liu Zhixiang bowed and replied, then turned and left.
“Senior Brother Liu, with Peak Master Zhou’s strength, he will definitely be able to kill Lin Xiaofei tomorrow. However, I have some concerns. What exactly is the relationship between Lin Xiaofei and Young Master Zhou?”
Lin Xiaofei's Mountain-Climbing Demon Palm was taught to him by Young Master Zhou Xingdao because they were good friends.
"If the other party dies tomorrow, and Young Master Zhou returns one day, won't he skin us alive?"
A young monk started chatting with Liu Zhixiang.
"Junior brother, you are still too young."
Liu Zhixiang said in a low voice before explaining:
You know very little about our Peak Master Zhou. This Mountain-Turning Demon Palm was found by Peak Master Zhou sixty years ago in the tomb of a Golden Core cultivator. It is a powerful spell.
Even for Young Master Zhou, Peak Master Zhou only taught him the first and second volumes, but not the third volume. Furthermore, Peak Master Zhou warned everyone that this spell must not be passed on without his permission.
As for whether Young Master Zhou, who is away, is friends with Lin Xiaofei, it's hard to say. However, Young Master Zhou certainly wouldn't teach him the Mountain-Climbing Demon Palm technique.
"Oh, I see."
The young monk suddenly realized.
"Furthermore, Peak Master Zhou originally forged a spiritual artifact, the Golden Mountain Seal, but it was lent to Young Master Zhou because he was traveling."
If Master Zhou catches Lin Xiaofei tomorrow and searches his storage bag, once he finds the Golden Mountain Seal, it will be certain that Young Master Zhou has been murdered.
Then Lin Xiaofei is doomed.
Liu Zhixiang said smugly.
The next day, elite disciples of the three peak masters, Bai Xuefeng, Shi Jianfeng, and Xiao Huofeng, arrived at the snow-covered ground on one side of the mountain gate entrance.
The elite disciples of the three peak masters intersected and formed three teams. Led by three Foundation Establishment cultivators, they arrived at the outer edge of Snow Demon Ridge, in the snow-covered mountains and forests, to hunt together.
After most of the day had passed, Lin Xiaofei followed the team back along the route.
As they walked, suddenly, a disciple approached and whispered in Lin Xiaofei's ear:
Within this Snow Demon Ridge, there exists a 450-year-old Blood Ginseng. I wonder if Brother Lin would be interested?
"Is there really a 450-year-old blood ginseng in this Snow Demon Ridge?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei was startled, stopped in his tracks, and asked in a low voice.
"Brother Lin, I heard that you posted a task in the Internal Affairs Pavilion of White Snow Peak. As long as you provide information about blood ginseng that is over a hundred years old, you will be rewarded with five thousand low-grade spirit stones."
I wonder if it still counts?
Liu Zhixiang did not answer directly, but instead said...
"Of course it counts, but are you sure there are hundred-year-old blood ginsengs in Snow Demon Ridge?"
Lin Xiaofei's eyes flashed, and he said.
“When we were hunting together earlier, you must have seen a disciple rushing out of Snow Mist Mountain. That person was my younger brother.”
I stopped him, and he quietly told me that there was a 450-year-old blood ginseng on the summit of Snow Mist Peak, and he was preparing to return to Little Fire Peak to inform the peak master.
Liu Zhixiang said with a serious expression.
