Chapter 224
Song Qi stopped Ye Lan who was about to turn around and leave. He smiled flatteringly and said, "Since you're here, come on, sit inside."
Ever since the sect competition ended, the smile on his face has never stopped.
Every now and then, sects that wanted to poach his disciples would come to inquire about his young apprentice.
Song Qi kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.
Those people asked for trouble, but they still gave generous gifts and made their presence felt in front of Song Qi.
After all, anyone who can refine a first-grade elixir is definitely not an ordinary person.
Moreover, in the world of cultivation, a first-grade elixir is very rare.
No one wants to offend such a capable person.
Everyone outside envied Song Qi for having such a good disciple! It really made him proud.
Ye Lan guessed about 70% of what was going on when he saw Song Qi's expression.
He walked in slowly and chose a seat by the window.
"Your fame has spread across the Xingyao Continent, and I've also benefited from it. Tell me! What do you want? As long as I can give it, I will definitely give it to you!"
Song Qi patted Ye Lan's shoulders several times in a row. Ye Lan looked at him dancing with joy and had an idea in his mind.
He wanted everything, but he also knew that if it was too much, Song Qi would not give it to him.
After thinking it over again and again, Ye Lan finally said, "I am able to have such an honor, and it is also thanks to you, Master. How can I ask you for anything else? But Master, you have said it, if I don't ask for anything, it will seem that I am very ignorant, right?"
When Song Qi listened to what Ye Lan said, he initially thought that Ye Lan had finally grown up.
I just nodded with satisfaction, and then I heard Ye Lan's shameless words.
Song Qi almost vomited blood.
Ye Lan didn't ask for much, but simply mentioned the names of a few spiritual herbs.
"Green Blood Ganoderma Lucidum, Thousand-Year-Old Medicinal Money Seeds... Anyway, Master, please take whatever you like. I won't ask for much, so just a symbolic amount will be fine."
Song Qi: ...
A mouthful of blood was stuck in his throat, and Song Qi's eyes were wide open.
He naively thought that Ye Lan had restrained himself, but unexpectedly, he was still the same as before!
Ye Lan looked at Song Qi's grief-stricken expression and knew that his heart must be bleeding.
Maybe I have cursed him thousands of times in my heart.
Ye Lan pretended not to see it. He picked up a fruit on the table and took a bite.
Song Qi pondered in his mind whether he should find two cheap spiritual herbs to shut this guy up.
When I looked up, I saw that he had already taken a bite of the Yoyo fruit that I had been reluctant to eat.
That is... the thousand-year-old spiritual fruit sent by those who flatter him!
I just put them there for show and never wanted to eat any of them, but now Ye Lan has eaten one of them.
Ye Lan was eating happily and didn't notice anything was wrong with Song Qi.
After he finished one, he felt it was not enough, so he reached out and touched another one, and started to eat it with a crunch.
Song Qi's face turned pale.
Ye Lan then realized something was wrong and teased, "Master, this place is really good. Even the fruit is juicy and sweet. I don't usually see such good things."
He kept praising Song Qi one after another, and even if Song Qi was angry, he couldn't lose his temper immediately.
He could only say sarcastically, "All the good things here are thanks to you. Eat them, eat them. If you like them, take two more."
As he spoke, Ye Lan was still panting.
After hearing what Song Qi said, he didn't care whether it was true or false. He reached out and took two more fruits into his Qiankun bag, and then he gave up.
Ye Lan quickly changed the subject: "After this sect competition, our sect's reputation should have improved. So, should I give up this position and return to being the Sword Sect's leader? Or..."
As Ye Lan, he has completely completed his mission and has already considered what to do next.
He wants to continue going out to gain experience and break through his cultivation!
But I can't be delayed by Leng Qingqiu anymore.
Song Qi disagreed.
He rejected Ye Lan's idea without thinking.
"No, no!"
"As the leader of this alchemy refining effort, and someone capable of refining first-grade elixirs, if you suddenly disappear or go into seclusion, people outside might use this as a pretext to cause trouble. You must continue to hold this position! Don't worry, I'll talk to the Sect Master later. You will be the face of our Xiaoyao Sect's Medicine Sect from now on. I'll convince the Sect Master to grant you the title of Sword Sect Master, allowing you to remain in seclusion for a long time!"
Ye Lan: ???
Ye Lan looked at Song Qi in confusion. He grabbed Song Qi and asked, "What do you mean by Xiaoyao Sect's Dan Sect's living signboard? What does it mean that the Sword Sect's leader has to go into seclusion for a long time?"
Song Qi chuckled twice, puffing out his chest with pride. He said, "You may not know this, but ever since the news of your ability to refine a first-grade elixir spread throughout the Xingyao Continent, many young men from wealthy families have come to our sect to become our disciples for months!"
The gifts given by those rich kids as apprenticeship gifts are countless mountains of gold and silver.
Ye Lan naturally understood the meaning of Song Qi's words.
"This is a good thing, but what does this have to do with my identity?"
If he could only use the identity of Danzong's disciple, Leng Qingqiu would probably become even more unscrupulous.
Then why are you running away like this?
Song Qi put his hand on Ye Lan's shoulder and asked him to sit down again.
"Of course it has something to do with you. If you keep this identity in seclusion for a long time, then how can our sect generate publicity? Without publicity, how can we accept disciples? How can we collect financial resources... Ugh, that's not it."
Song Qi made a slip of the tongue and revealed his true purpose.
Ye Lan frowned. He looked at Song Qi for a long moment before saying, "After all, our Xiaoyao Sect is a sect with a long history. Even if it has been in decline over the years, it shouldn't be that short of money."
Seeing that the truth was revealed, Song Qi could no longer hide it.
"What do you know? The Sword Sect you belong to is the poorest of our Xiaoyao Sect. Naturally, we didn't tell you about our lack of spirit stones. Besides, what could you do if you knew..."
Ye Lan recalled the Qiankun bag that he saw when he first came here, which was cleaner than his face. He opened his mouth but said nothing.
Indeed, even if this poor guy knew about it, there was nothing he could do to solve it.
Song Qi looked at his reaction and continued to finish him off.
"After all, you're somewhat useful now, so you naturally can't miss this opportunity to earn spirit stones, right?"
Ye Lan, who was at least somewhat useful: "..."
Seeing that he was silent, Song Qi pretended to be busy and walked out of the room muttering to himself: "Well, I'm going to discuss this with the headmaster first. You sit down first."
