If it weren't for the fact that he was stronger than him, Sect Leader Bai would have suspected whether Zhongli Tingzhou had the ability to read his mind, as he could always predict exactly what he was thinking.
"The reason I called the two uncles here this time is actually because of something."
Sect Leader Bai immediately changed the subject. If he continued talking about the same topic, he was afraid that he would suffer a heart attack, even though the next topic was not that good.
"Last time, the second uncle exchanged the Sun Tree for Zixiao Sect. The fruit of the Sun Tree is now ripe."
"So fast? I remember that it takes a long time for the fruits of the sun tree to mature." Gao Han said in surprise.
Sect Leader Bai nodded slightly and said seriously, "Indeed, but the Ten Thousand Immortals Path is imminent, and we can't wait any longer before using the best spirit stones to accelerate the maturity."
A large part of the top-grade spirit stones given to Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou were exchanged by the two of them in the Treasure Pavilion, so after a round of circulation, those top-grade spirit stones returned to the hands of Zixiao Sect, which was more than enough to ripen the fruits of the sun tree.
"This time, the sun tree produced fifty-three fruits. Originally, there should have been sixty, but because it was forced to ripen, seven of them were not of good quality."
"Master, there is no need to explain in detail. We only need three each. The fruit of the Sun Tree is only useful at the beginning. It is better to give it to other disciples. We may not need it next time." Gao Han said truthfully.
"Okay." The expression on Sect Leader Bai's face faded a little. Although it was the truth, it was still heartbreaking. Never mind. It had nothing to do with him anyway. Now it was his disciples who were the ones who were heartbroken.
Sect Leader Bai clapped his hands, and a disciple came out carrying a plate.
On the plate were two emerald green jade boxes, each containing three fruits of the sun tree.
"The fruit of the sun tree can only be placed in this kind of jade box. If it is exposed to the air, the energy inside will easily evaporate." Sect Leader Bai reminded.
Gao Han put away the two jade boxes and said, "If Sect Master has nothing else to say, we will leave first."
Sect Leader Bai nodded and said, let’s go quickly.
Yuan Ran originally wanted to go out and see them off and ask them about their experience of going out for training, but was stopped by Sect Leader Bai.
Gao Han patted his shoulder knowingly. As the sect master's disciple and a genius, it was natural that he would have a share of the sun tree fruit.
"Master, what instructions do you have?" Yuan Ran asked after they walked out of the hall.
Sect Master Bai casually threw a jade box of the same style to him and said, "Take it. The Ten Thousand Immortals Path is about to begin, and it's time for you to go into seclusion. I will handle the sect's affairs."
"Master." Yuan Ran was moved as he took the jade box. It was the same size as Gao Han and the others, and there should also be three sun tree fruits inside.
He thought one pill would be enough, but he didn't expect the master to give him three pills at once and allow him to go into seclusion.
"Don't be blindly moved. After the Wanxian Road is over, you still have to continue to work hard for your master... cough, work hard." Sect Leader Bai almost said what was in his heart.
Yuan Ran didn't care. He had chosen a path, so there was no reason to keep complaining. "I will, Master. Does Senior Brother have it too?"
Sect Master Bai nodded with satisfaction, "Your Senior Brother has one too. This time, whether Master can become famous in the Ten Thousand Immortals Dao depends on you two brothers."
Yuan Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Master, you have long been famous all over the world. Senior Ying Yangyao of the Supreme Sect once said that he wanted to fight with you."
"He wants to fight with me, but I am not willing to do so. Once the Wanxian Road is over, I will break through to the Great Perfection of the Spirit Transformation immediately. Then I won't mind fighting him together." Sect Leader Bai snorted.
"As long as Master is happy," Yuan Ran said in an indulgent tone.
"Once we get to Wanxian Road, I'll take you to the Manyuan Continent. It's quite fun there." Zhongli Tingzhou said to Gao Han as they were walking on the way back to Wuming Peak.
"Fun? You mean it was fun that you were almost disfigured, beaten up and covered in blood, and had to change all your white robes one after another?" Gao Han asked calmly.
Zhongli Tingzhou frowned: "You know everything? Oh, Master Zixiao can let me see you, so you can definitely see me too. He is too stingy."
"Why is the Master so stingy?" Gao Han asked.
"Think about it, if we can be like them, and see each other through a mirror that can appear at any time even though we are countless miles apart, why do we need the communication jade slips? Compared with this, the communication jade slips are weak." Zhongli Tingzhou sighed, "Maybe Master didn't want to tell me, and he wanted to take revenge on me and torture me on purpose."
"Can it appear at any time? You think too simply. I'm afraid it must have used a special magic weapon. It's not easy to open a magic weapon every time. It's good enough that Master can meet our requirements. Don't ask for too much. If it were my Master, I would have beaten you to death long ago."
"It is impossible for your master to go to the Manyuan Continent to protect me." Zhongli Tingzhou said angrily.
"That may not be the case." Gao Han said meaningfully. Master Tian Dao was a little narrow-minded. If he really heard it, he would definitely do it.
"I don't believe it." Zhongli Tingzhou said nonchalantly.
Gao Han smiled and said, "Then why are you still standing outside the barrier? Go inside and tell me. If you don't believe me, I will believe you."
"A good man never says his words a second time. A real man can bend and stretch." Zhongli Tingzhou didn't fall for his trick.
Gao Han was too lazy to laugh at him and was the first to enter the Nameless Peak.
Zhongli Tingzhou followed closely behind, "If you ask me, we should build a mountain of our own, otherwise it will be too inconvenient here."
"I think it's good. With the barrier in place, no one will come to disturb us." Gao Han said without turning his head.
"That's not good. We haven't practiced dual cultivation for four or five months. Don't you miss it? Don't you really want to improve your cultivation? I think now is just right." Zhongli Tingzhou followed behind him and turned into a noisy parrot.
The voices kept chattering, but Gao Han seemed to have a layer of golden bell covering his body, which did not affect his mood at all. After returning to the cabin, she stuffed a jade box into his arms and looked at him with a smile.
"Aren't the things that improve cultivation right here?"
Zhongli Tingzhou looked at the jade box in his arms, then looked at him with a smile on his face and made a sound of leaning against the ground.
"We only have more than a month left, so we don't have much time left. We should improve as much as we can now." Gao Han took his jade box and went into the inner room.
The furnishings in the house were covered with dust because they had been away for four months. Gao Han cleaned them with a magic spell, and it was cleaner than wiping with a rag.
"Junior Brother Bai always ruins my good deeds." Zhongli Tingzhou said gently, holding the jade box.
In the sect master's hall, Sect Master Bai sneezed in front of his disciples.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Feng Xinxing asked with concern. If it weren't for the sun tree fruit, he would still be in seclusion.
Unlike Yuan Ran who was busy with the sect's trivial matters every day, Feng Xinxing was more like a true hard-working disciple who never cared about the sect's mundane affairs.
"It's okay, maybe he caught a cold." Sect Leader Bai said that he didn't take it seriously, but he was thinking in his heart that it must be some bastard who was plotting against him again.
"Master is already a Divine Transformation cultivator, how could he catch a cold?" Feng Xinxing said in shock.
"Oh, that means someone else is missing me as his master." Sect Leader Bai missed his second disciple very much at this time.
If it were Yuan Ran, he would definitely know that his master was lying and would not continue to ask questions. Given his master's character, how could anyone miss him? Therefore, he is more suitable to be the next sect leader than Feng Xinxing.
“So that’s how it is. Then I will continue to go into seclusion.” Feng Xinxing cupped his hands.
"Let's go." Sect Leader Bai waved his hand tiredly.
Not long after the eldest disciple left, Bai Runyue came in stealthily, looking back from time to time, as if he was afraid of being seen by someone.
"Dad, has the eldest brother left?"
"Let's go. Don't you usually follow your senior brother and stick to him? Why did you choose to come when he is not around this time?" Sect Leader Bai saw through his daughter's thoughts at a glance.
Bai Runyue chuckled.
Sect Leader Bai couldn't bear to watch, "You are a girl, can you please stop being so naughty all the time? It's so unbecoming. People who don't know you would think you are a street thug. You don't have the temperament of a sect leader's daughter at all."
Bai Runyue curled his lips.
"Still pouting?" Sect Leader Bai had a fierce look on his face.
Bai Runyue immediately showed a flattering smile, took two steps at a time, squatted beside Master Bai, and while helping him to hammer his legs, he said, "Dad, I also want the fruit of the sun tree, can you give me a few?"
"Why give it to you? You don't have to join the Wanxian Dao." Sect Master Bai was calm as a bell. "These sun tree fruits are to be left to other brothers in the sect. They are the foundation of the sect, not you."
"Dad, your words are hurtful. After all, I am also the sect leader's daughter. Doesn't the sect leader's daughter have any special privileges?" Bai Runyue pretended to be sad.
"That's a pity. The daughter of a sect leader really doesn't have any special privileges." Sect Leader Bai said with a sigh, "You have the ability to be like your eldest and second senior brothers. One shoulders the responsibility of the sect's prosperity, and the other is the sect's powerful future. What about you? You shoulder the responsibility of the sect's children's love? Are you ashamed?"
"If you insist on saying so, I can't do anything about it." Bai Runyue held back her smile. She really wanted to say that.
"I see you think it's quite beautiful." Sect Leader Bai, who knew his daughter very well, had no idea what was going on in her mind.
"So will you give it to me or not?" Bai Runyue urged with a pout.
"I can give it to you, but you are not allowed to join the Wanxiandao." Sect Leader Bai calmly put forward the condition.
"Why?" Bai Runyue looked dissatisfied.
"Your father is the sect leader, and the sect leader has the final say, so don't give up."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Bai Runyue compromised immediately, thinking, when the time comes I want to participate, you won't be able to stop me.
Sect Leader Bai smiled and gave three fruits, and then locked you up to see if your father could stop you.
The father and daughter have their own ulterior motives, and they are both equally guilty.
On this day, after the Sun Tree Fruit was distributed, almost half of the young disciples in the sect began to retreat to improve their cultivation. Some were stuck at a certain level, and with the help of the Sun Tree Fruit, they broke through in one fell swoop.
Not long after Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou returned, the two of them also went into seclusion.
Even without them, Zixiao Sect is still very lively.
