Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Bad Things

After they finished their dinner, Wen Jingcheng escorted them out of Qingguan Sect.

With the protection of the Western Birds along the way, they were not discovered.

When they got to the foot of the mountain, Wen Jingcheng took out something and said, "Master asked me to give this to you."

It is a scroll.

Wei Xin took it and opened it doubtfully, and on the painting was a portrait of Yun Du.

Nan Huang: “Wow.”

He immediately closed the scroll and was about to return it, but Wen Jingcheng had already flown away into the forest, leaving only a quick sentence: "Master said that if you miss him, just look at the painting!"

Wei Xin: "...Who wants to see his crappy painting!"

“Then I will burn this painting for you, my Lord?” Nan Huang asked considerately.

Wei Xin glanced at her.

“Look at this jerk. I deserve to die.” Nan Huang slapped his own mouth with a smile.

When the three of them walked a distance away, someone approached them.

Although he has no spiritual power, Wei Xin can still distinguish people's footsteps.

"Come out, don't hide anymore."

A dark figure knelt down in front of him: "My Lord, I am late in rescuing you, please forgive me!"

"Get up, this matter has nothing to do with you." Wei Xin asked, "You have been in Qingguan Sect these days? How is Xuanji Sect?"

Dongying stood up and noticed that he looked unhappy. He replied, "As soon as Guiluo Sect got into trouble, I returned to Xuanji Sect. Elder Yin sent many people out to look for news about you. I heard that two disciples from Qingguan Sect also died in Guiluo Sect, so I wanted to come here to find out about you. Not long after, I noticed Xique's maze and knew that you were here. You have been guarding nearby and dare not show up easily."

Wei Xin nodded, quite satisfied with his alertness, and said, "Let's go back to Xuanji Sect first."

"yes."

Xique drew a teleportation talisman array on the spot and returned to Xuanji Sect in the blink of an eye.

When several disciples saw the people who suddenly appeared, they were surprised and happy, and hurriedly ran up to greet them, and a few others rushed out to announce the good news.

"The Lord is back! The two hall masters are back too! They are both still alive!"

Elder Yin came to see him soon, holding his hand, tears streaming down his face: "The Lord is back! That's great, where is your... your spiritual power?"

“Lost.”

Elder Yin checked his internal energy and found only a faint clear breath floating in his body. He looked horrified: "How could this be..."

Wei Xin dismissed the others and told him about Guimen's experience, but omitted some details about Yundu.

After hearing this, Elder Yin felt surprised, regretful, and proud.

“Although he has lost his inner strength, the Earth Netherworld Formation is so powerful that the Lord was able to destroy it even though his strength has not yet recovered. If this matter were to spread, it would surely bring honor to our sect.” Elder Yin said with relief.

"It's not just my credit. Nanhuang Xiqiao, as well as several Qingguan Sect disciples worked together to break the situation." Wei Xin said.

"My lord, I am sorry for the inconvenience. Without your full-force resistance, there is no way they can break the impasse." Elder Yin took out the merit book and sang praises of Wei Xin's virtues in it.

"......"

Wei Xin couldn't help but think of what Yun Du said about him "tolerating evil and being proud of his achievements", so he grabbed the credit book and looked at the record on it.

What a story where one man single-handedly challenged the ghost Luomen, and all the ghosts died.

How could one person wipe out the Xiajing Sect, cut down the weeds and uproot all the flowers?

Why did this man bravely break into the Qingguan Sect, steal the treasures and leave his name behind?

"......" Wei Xin tore up the merit booklet, "You are exaggerating! How will the outside world view me if this gets out?"

"Of course, when I heard the name of the Lord, I was scared to death!"

Elder Yin cared more about the reputation of Xuanji Sect than anyone else. Perhaps it was because Wei Xin had ascended to the position of the supreme leader at a young age, and he was afraid that he would not be able to command the people, and that the outside world would bully him because of his young age. Therefore, he created a lot of external forces, and exaggerated the situation, portraying Wei Xin as a bloodthirsty and cruel person.

Although it led to some abuse, it did have a certain shocking effect.

In the past, Wei Xin didn't care about these things. It didn't matter whether he had a good or bad reputation. After all, he had done some bad things. It's just that he has been going down the mountain frequently recently and has developed some new views.

Just like silver, the Qingguan Sect has a good reputation, and ordinary people naturally yearn for it. Yunlai Town was even more grateful and voluntarily handed over silver in order to seek longer-term protection. In this way, the outer disciples who have not yet entered the fasting period do not have to worry about their material possessions, and can concentrate on their cultivation.

On the other hand, no good person in Xuanji Sect is willing to pay rent and taxes to it, and would like to stay as far away from it as possible.

As for the low-level disciples, since they have no progress, they can only go out and rob others. This vicious cycle is bound to harm long-term development.

Although he looked down on the Qingguan Sect's pedantic style, he had to admit that in some aspects, it was indeed superior to the Xuanji Sect.

"What kind of business do we usually do in our sect?" Wei Xin asked.

"Why do you ask this, Lord?" Elder Yin asked, "How can we cultivators make a living?"

Wei Xin looked at his face, which had aged him, and said, "You go out first and call Nan Huang in."

Nanhuang, Xique, and Dongying were standing outside, discussing in low voices: "That Xu Linfeng is definitely not a simple person. I actually have a bold guess in my mind."

Xique: "I have one too. Who are you thinking of?"

Dong Ying asked in confusion: "Which Xu Linfeng?"

"That pretty boy who used to live at the foot of the mountain, he is actually..." Nan Huangdao said as he turned around and whispered the name into Xique's ear.

Xique: "Yes, I guessed it was him too."

The two nodded to each other, then looked at Dongying, who did not participate in Canghe's group, with somewhat smug expressions.

"......" Dongying said calmly, "It's Yundu of the Qingguan Sect."

The two looked at him in surprise: "How did you guess that?"

"Is it difficult to guess? I guessed it before you went to Canghe." Dong Ying raised his head proudly.

He had been trying to get information from both sides. Ever since the Lord asked him to pay attention to the movements of Master Yundu and his junior sister, he had been keeping an eye on these people. He had just heard that Master Yundu was expelled from the Qingguan Sect because he colluded with the Demon Lord, and then he saw the Lord secretly hiding with a man of extraordinary bearing.

If he can't guess this, he is unworthy of being the hall master.

Hearing the footsteps, the three of them immediately fell silent. After a moment, Elder Yin came out and called Nan Huang in.

"Last time in Canghe, you managed to get back more than one hundred taels of silver in one day. How did you do it?" Wei Xin asked.

"I took it from the corpses. There were so many corpses, so there must be some unused money bags." Nan Huang said.

"Don't you think it's unlucky?" Wei Xin said with a smile.

"What's so unlucky about this? Silver doesn't smell like corpses. Having no money is really unlucky. If I had time, I would have gone to sell some Fire Stones. There are many corpses in Canghe Mansion, and outsiders dare not enter. But our Fire Stones have the effect of dispersing negative energy and revitalizing bones, and can resist this negative and damp energy. If I sell them to passers-by, I will definitely make a lot of money!" Nan Huang said.

Fire Stone is a very common spiritual stone in Xuanji Sect. Wei Xin thought this method was feasible and said, "Then you can do it."

“Ah?” Nan Huang was a little unresponsive. She had just said it casually. Could it be that the Lord really intended to let her exchange the Fire Stone for silver?

"Can't you understand what people are saying?"

"I understand! Will I really go there? If Elder Yin asks..."

Wei Xin threw a jade tablet to her and said, "If you are asked, just say it was my arrangement. Bring a few smart people to handle this matter. I will check the results after I come out of seclusion."

"Yes, I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Nan Huang was very happy. This was a task assigned to her alone, bypassing Elder Yin! If she did it well, she would definitely be credited with a great achievement!

Nan Huang walked out with great ambition, and a moment later, Dong Ying walked in.

Before going to Canghe, Dongying was ordered to stay and gather information for him, so he had the opportunity to report now.

Wei Xin listened to the important things and learned that the leader of Qingguan Sect had made a breakthrough in his cultivation today.

Yun Jin was also released from custody because of Gui Luomen's accident and went out to look for someone.

After Elder Yin learned that they were in trouble, he sent nearly half of his disciples to Canghe to look for them. They ran into Yun Jin and fought with him for several days. In the end, Yun Jin was rescued by the third elder of Qingguan Sect, who always loved to travel and happened to see this incident.

Elder Yin was also seriously injured and is still recovering.

Wei Xin estimated the days and Yun Jin would have already met Xu Shun and others by now.

"It was said that my power has declined. Are you aware of this?"

"I know, but the rumor first spread from the Canghe area, and it will take some time to find the source." Dong Ying said.

Wei Xin held his head with his hands, closed his eyes and remained silent.

Dong Ying waited for a long time, but he didn't speak. He heard his breathing gradually become steady and long. He couldn't help but look up - he was actually asleep.

He quietly left the room and ran into Elder Yin who was in a hurry. Seeing that he was holding many scrolls in his arms, he said, "Elder, the Lord has gone to bed. It is better not to disturb him."

Elder Yin walked straight in without stopping.

Hearing the noise, Wei Xin woke up slowly, and a picture of a beautiful woman suddenly appeared in front of him.

"My Lord, this is Qian Lan, the leader of the He Huan Sect."

Wei Xin raised his eyelids and waited for his next words.

"The Hehuan Sect has a dual cultivation method that draws on Yin to replenish Yang. I don't know how much Yin and Yang true energy this Qianlan has absorbed. If the Lord practices dual cultivation with her, he can restore his internal strength in the fastest time!" Elder Yin said excitedly.

"......"

"Qianlan had proposed the idea of ​​practicing dual cultivation with the Lord before, but you were too picky and looked down on her. But times are different now. If you want to recover as soon as possible, you must use some extraordinary means." Elder Yin advised.

As if afraid that he might not be satisfied, he opened all the other scrolls for him to choose from.

Looking at those gorgeous beauties, Wei Xin just felt a headache. He even regretted not listening to Yun Du and staying in Qingguan Sect to recuperate. He didn't know how quiet it was there!

"Get out!" Wei Xin threw the scroll away angrily, "I'm going to be in seclusion! If you mention the dual cultivation again, I'll send you to the Hehuan Sect!"

"I... I'm old, they don't think highly of me." Elder Yin said with tears in his eyes, picked up the scroll on the ground, and walked out hesitantly.

Wei Xin turned his head and suddenly his sight paused. He found that the things on the table were gone, and hurriedly chased after him: "Wait!"

"My Lord, is there anything else?" Elder Yin stopped and asked.

Wei Xin didn't say a word and started rummaging through the scroll in his arms. He opened one and threw it away, then opened another and threw it away again.

"My Lord, if you don't like it, there's no need to throw it back and forth over and over again, right?" Elder Yin said tiredly.

Wei Xin said nothing, opened one of the paintings, slammed it shut, rolled it up and brought it into the house.

Elder Yin was about to ask more questions, but when he turned around, he was hit by the door and muttered, "The portrait seems to be a man...hiss, could the master be a traitor?"

Xique, who was guarding the door, witnessed the whole process, held his head high and chest puffed out, not daring to say a word. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Elder Yin muttering as he walked away.

Before closing the gate, Wei Xin gave Xique one more thing.

The Qiankun Lock can lock up the soul, but his spiritual power is insufficient to maintain the soul inside for long. Wei Xin is worried that Yan Lin will not be able to support him until the day he comes out, so he gives it to Xi Que for safekeeping.

After everything was almost arranged, he began to close his energy and reshape his meridians.

A few days later, he opened his eyes and found that the previous treatments were no longer effective. His dantian was too badly damaged by the red blood bead, and he was unable to mobilize the internal energy-nourishing bead there. The red blood bead was gray and cracked, and would shatter at the slightest abnormality.

When he was at his wit's end, he caught a glimpse of a pure and upright aura.

It's hidden in that scroll.

He opened the scroll, and the portrait of Yun Du slowly unfolded. The spiritual power that rushed towards his face penetrated into his soul, and the fatigue in his body dissipated in an instant.

From the first time he opened the scroll, he felt the spiritual power contained in it and guessed that it was sent to help him recuperate.

only......

Whenever he needed this spiritual power to dispel fatigue, he had to open the scroll to use it.

There are so many objects that can carry spiritual energy, but he chose a self-portrait.

Every time he absorbed spiritual energy from the scroll, Wei Xin couldn't help but curse the handsome man in the painting: "Bad guy."
