Qingyangzi has been very unhappy these two days.
First, it was Elder Zhu Yu from the Alchemy Pavilion who came over to ask for the medicinal materials.
According to Zhu Yu, several medicinal herbs grown by the sects themselves have not been delivered to the Alchemy Pavilion for more than a month. In the past month, the Alchemy Pavilion has used up the inventory of these medicinal herbs, and the elixirs they have made are almost used up. After waiting for so long, the medicinal herbs still haven't arrived, so Zhu Yu decided to come over and urge them.
Qing Yangzi was also puzzled when he heard this. The medicinal herbs that Zhu Yu mentioned could already be grown in Taiwei Sect, and the medicinal effects of the herbs grown were quite good. Logically, the supply of any medicinal herbs could have problems, but these herbs should not have any problems. So he immediately summoned Han Biyun, the third disciple who was responsible for the cultivation of medicinal herbs, to inquire about the situation.
After Han Biyun met the head of the sect, he first admitted that he had not supplied medicinal materials to the Alchemy Pavilion for a long time. But when Han Biyun explained the reason, Qing Yangzi was furious.
It turned out that all the medicinal herbs were destroyed by Ye Chen!
What’s even more infuriating is that the reason he destroyed these medicinal herbs was simply to “vent his anger”!
This is simply outrageous!
Zhu Yu was also there at the time. After hearing Han Biyun's explanation, he was no longer anxious, but said with a smile: "The new Saint chosen by the headmaster is really a man of temperament!"
The thick irony in the words almost made Qing Yangzi slam the table.
Finally, he cultivated to the state of transformation and had some skills in nourishing qi, so he suppressed the anger in his heart. He asked Han Biyun with a gloomy face: "Can't these herbs be purchased from outside first?"
Han Biyun shook her head: "Ye Chen destroyed a lot of medicinal materials. Without a few thousand spirit stones, it would not be enough to make up for the loss."
Qing Yangzi waved his hands irritably: "Then buy some first and get through this difficult time."
Han Biyun said, "I don't know where to get the spiritual stones needed to purchase the medicinal materials?"
A cold light flashed in Qingyangzi's eyes: "First, withdraw the money from the sect's treasury, and when Ye Chen comes back, let Ye Chen pay for the sect's losses out of his own pocket!"
To Qing Yangzi, Ye Chen, the new Saint, was just a target to attract firepower and had no other use. Since this guy dared to damage the sect's medicinal materials, he must pay compensation!
Han Biyun went out with the creed written by Qing Yangzi for withdrawing the sect's spirit stones. Zhu Yu did not stay any longer, but returned to the Alchemy Pavilion.
After the two left, Qing Yangzi rubbed his temples and became more and more irritated.
This Ye Chen is really a hopeless case!
After he comes back, he must be put in solitary confinement for a few more months!
He stood up and prepared to walk around Taiwei Sect and inspect its foundation. But before he could leave, Elder Song Lian from the foundry arrived.
Elder Song Lian was always concise and to the point. He got straight to the point right away: "Master, when are you going to supply me with the casting materials needed for the foundry?"
Qing Yangzi asked in confusion: "Aren't there still a lot of materials in the warehouse?"
Song Lian shook his head and said, "Those materials are all ordinary materials. They are OK for casting some lower-grade weapons and magic tools, but they are much worse for casting high-grade ones."
Qing Yangzi pondered and said, "How did you collect the special materials in the past?"
Song Lian said calmly, "In the past, Feng Shao brought people down the mountain to purchase or collect special materials bit by bit. But even so, these special materials are often not enough to cover expenses. When Feng Shao was still there, he planned to acquire a mine, and then trade the materials produced by the mine with other sects or forces. In this way, the sect can have a more stable material circulation channel."
Qing Yangzi's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "If that's the case, then let's buy the mine and trade materials!"
Song Lian sighed and said, "But those trading channels were all found by Feng Shao from outside. No one except him knows which material trading channels there are, nor does anyone know who to trade with. In addition, the owner of the mine that Feng Shao intends to acquire has received favors from Feng Shao before, so he is willing to sell it to Taiwei Sect at a relatively low price. If someone else were to negotiate, I'm afraid that even if they sold the entire Taiwei Sect, they might not be able to buy the mine."
Qing Yangzi didn't expect that there was such a complicated relationship here. He couldn't help but slammed the table and said angrily: "This is outrageous! Feng Shao left without saying goodbye, but left such a mess for the sect!"
After sulking for a while, Qing Yangzi raised his head and saw Song Lian looking at him strangely, with a look of confusion and shock.
When Qing Yangzi was looked at by Song Lian, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with what he said just now, and couldn't help blushing. But he then asked calmly, "Then I wonder if Elder Song has any other way to temporarily solve this problem?"
Song Lian sighed inwardly. When Feng Shao was still around, he only took care of casting and refining. If he needed anything, he could just tell Feng Shao. And Feng Shao didn't know what method he used, but he could always bring back the materials Song Lian needed very quickly.
But now, the foundry was short of materials, and he, the elder, had to find a solution himself.
Song Lian had no choice but to say: "Send disciples down the mountain to purchase, or go to some secret realms, maybe we can collect the required materials."
Qingyangzi's face suddenly turned embarrassed.
Now there is no one in the second branch, and there are only two female disciples in the third branch. There are still a few people in Changmen on the mountain, but they are now in seclusion and practicing, almost isolated from the world, and do not interact with outsiders at all. They do not have the smooth-talking skills of Feng Shao, so even if they are asked to go down the mountain to collect materials, it is probably difficult to collect them all.
In the end, Qingyangzi suddenly realized that there were very few useful people in the entire Taiwei Mountain.
Annoyed, Qing Yangzi couldn't help cursing Qin Zhao in his heart. If this guy hadn't let all the disciples of the second branch run away, he wouldn't be left without anyone to use him!
Qingyangzi thought about it and finally said, "Then find a few disciples to go to Linglong Pavilion in Liyang City and buy all the necessary materials!"
Qing Yangzi felt a pang of pain when he thought about spending another sum of spirit stones.
Qing Yangzi had also been through hard times. At that time, the three brothers and sisters of Taiwei Sect had less than 100 spiritual stones in total, and could not even afford a bottle of good elixir. Although Taiwei Sect has earned a lot of spiritual stones through various means over the years, Qing Yangzi was reluctant to spend even one.
I’m afraid of being poor!
Now, first I have to spend hundreds of spirit stones to buy medicinal materials, and then I have to spend hundreds of spirit stones to buy casting materials. That’s more than a thousand spirit stones spent.
But then, Qing Yangzi comforted himself in his heart. Fortunately, there is the help of Yunjian Pavilion, a rich relative. As long as Lin Xiaoran is married, Lin Fengtian will have to bring tens of thousands of spirit stones as a dowry, right? With such a large sum of money, Taiwei Sect can overcome the current difficulties and buy the mine that Feng Shao had previously set his eyes on!
Thinking of this, Qingyangzi felt happy again.
But not long after seeing Song Lian off, another person ran into the inner hall. Qing Yangzi looked closely and realized that this person was our good uncle, Ling Xuzi.
Originally, Ling Xuzi should have come back at least two days later. After all, the spiritual boat of Taiwei Sect was too low-level and too slow. It would take three days to go back and forth to Yunjian Pavilion. However, Qingyangzi changed his mind and thought that maybe Ling Xuzi had already negotiated the matter and couldn't wait to come and take credit, so he flew back alone on his sword.
Thinking of this, Qing Yangzi prepared to comfort Ling Xuzi with a friendly expression. But before he could open his mouth, he saw Ling Xuzi said in a panic: "Master, something bad has happened!"
Qing Yangzi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "What happened?"
Ling Xuzi said with a bitter face: "Master, the Yunjian Pavilion has torn up the engagement, saying that they don't want to marry their daughter to our Taiwei Sect!"
Qing Yangzi was shocked and asked in a lost voice: "How could this be? Could it be that Ye Chen is not worthy of their eyes?"
Ling Xuzi didn't know how to explain it. Should he say that the reason why Yunjian Pavilion was willing to marry their daughter to him was just because they had a crush on Feng Shao?
But now, Feng Shao has been driven out of Taiwei Sect by them!
What’s even more terrible is that Ling Xuzi put a lot of effort into this matter!
In fact, Ling Xuzi also knew that Yunjian Pavilion's actions were not considered to be breaking the engagement. Because from the beginning, they only wanted to marry their daughter to Feng Shao. Now they still haven't changed their original intention, but the son-in-law chosen by Yunjian Pavilion has no relationship with Taiwei Sect anymore.
But Ling Xuzi also knew that if he told the truth, all the responsibility would be on him!
So Ling Xuzi hesitated for a long time before saying, "Pavilion Master Lin...Pavilion Master Lin said that if we change the engagement, we are transferring his daughter as a commodity, and his Yunjian Pavilion cannot accept it, so..."
Qing Yangzi slammed the table and said angrily: "Didn't you tell them that Ye Chen's qualifications are far better than Feng Shao's?"
Ling Xuzi said helplessly: "I did say that too! But they just don't admit it!"
Qing Yangzi felt upset. He paced back and forth, and after thinking for a long time, he waved his hands in annoyance and said, "If that's the case, then I'll go to Yunjian Pavilion myself! His Yunjian Pavilion is a big family, but my Taiwei Sect is not easy to bully!"
Ling Xuzi's face turned pale immediately, and he said quickly, "No, Master! You are the master of Taiwei Sect, how can you condescend to come here in person? What if the Yunjian Pavilion is unrighteous and detains you?"
In fact, what Ling Xuzi was afraid of was not whether Qing Yangzi would be detained by Yunjian Pavilion, but that Qing Yangzi would not forgive him, his uncle, after knowing the truth of the matter.
Although he is Qing Yangzi's uncle, his cultivation level is not as good as Qing Yangzi's. If he wants to improve his cultivation level, he must obtain a higher level of sect's mental method from Qing Yangzi.
Even though Ling Xuzi usually acts like he’s taking advantage of his seniority, he knows clearly that he’s still being controlled by the sect leader!
After thinking about it, Qing Yangzi felt that it was inappropriate for him to rush to Yunjian Pavilion. However, he was unwilling to accept that the engagement was broken.
Seeing that Qingyangzi had been thinking for several times but still had no idea, Lingxuzi said cautiously: "Master, in my opinion, we should just cancel the engagement! Our Taiwei Sect is not without wealth, so is it worth it to lick the Yunjian Pavilion?"
Qing Yangzi glanced at him and snorted coldly: "You know shit!"
Does Qing Yangzi care about the engagement? He cares about Lin Xiaoran's dowry! But he thought about it in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud.
Annoyed, he waved his hands at Ling Xuzi and said, "Get lost! Don't get in my way!"
At this point, he was too lazy to give Ling Xuzi face.
After driving Ling Xuzi away, Qing Yangzi looked at the sky with a gloomy face, secretly becoming fierce in his heart.
I just don’t believe that the Taiwei Sect can’t survive without you, Feng Shao.
