Chapter 89: Selfishness
On the Xiangyun Peak of Xuantian Sect, the Sect Master Yuntian Zhenjun was looking at his most proud disciple. Today was the day when those Foundation Establishment disciples were returning with their teams, and now he had handed over many things to him in the hope that he would take over quickly. Once he was able to handle the sect's mundane affairs on his own, he would pass the position of Sect Master to him. All the elders of the sect had agreed to this, and now they were polishing this disciple so that he could be more tactful in handling matters.
He said gently to Zhiyuan Zhenren standing below, "Today is the day when the group of Foundation Establishment disciples will be returning with their team. You should take the elders from the Deacon Hall with you to see how they are doing on their mission. Especially that girl Youran, I want to see the results of her leadership this time.
Also, those Foundation Establishment disciples who have made contributions should be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes should not be polite, you should discuss it directly with the elders. "Zhiyuan Zhenren listened to his master's instructions and knew that his master was asking him to gain more prestige among the disciples in the sect. This would make it easier for him to take over the position of headmaster and not worry about anyone's opinions of him.
He felt warm in his heart about his master's action. After responding to his master, he went out to find the elders.
After watching his disciple lead his men away, Master Yuntian couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In fact, he was not without selfish motives. In fact, he also wanted Yunyang to be the head of the sect. However, after several years of observation, he felt that his eldest disciple was more suitable to be the head of the sect.
As for Yunyang's personality, he is a bit too cold and not suitable for the position of the sect leader. His personality is more suitable for being a charging gun. In the future, Zhiyuan will be in charge of the sect, and Yunyang will be on the mission outside. In this way, he can safely hand over the sect to them.
They smiled when talking about their younger generation of disciples. There are many good talents in this group of disciples. Several disciples under Senior Brother Yuqing are very good, as well as Senior Brother Ziyang’s two children, and several disciples such as Lieyang are all good.
He smiled when he thought of Senior Brother Zi Yang's daughter, with a malicious smile on his face: I wonder what progress the disciples brought back by Youran have made. If the effect is good, can we come a few more times?
He had completely forgotten the warning given by True Master Zi Yang some time ago.
If Zhiyuan knew his master was about to challenge Ziyang Zhenzun again, he would definitely cling to his master's legs and beg: "Master! Please don't challenge Ziyang Zhenzun's authority again! Even if Ziyang Zhenzun doesn't do anything to you this time, have you forgotten about Moshang Zhenzun? He also treats Youran like the apple of his eye. If he knew you were plotting against his precious escort girl again, he would make you very unhappy."
Without going into what the Sect Master was plotting here, let's just say that Zhiyuan Zhenren brought people to the square outside the gate. There were already quite a few Foundation Establishment disciples there with their own teams. Zhiyuan Zhenren looked at the disciples brought back by this group of people. Their cultivation hadn't increased much, and they all had bitter faces. Even the number of people in each team had decreased to varying degrees. Zhiyuan Zhenren's brows jumped when he saw this experience. You have to know that this training was in the Zisha Forest, where the most powerful monsters were only level four, and they usually didn't leave the inner forest. So why did these disciples suffer so many casualties? The more he thought about it, the darker his face became. He had also been there at that time, and he didn't know what was going on with these disciples. It must be that those Foundation Establishment disciples took advantage of this mission to do something that was not in line with the mission.
I caught a glimpse of a monk standing in the corner, standing there all alone, and my heart skipped a beat.
He called the deacon disciple to ask what was going on. It happened that the person in front of him today was Senior Brother Liu. He also despised this person's behavior, so he did not hide it for her and told her everything he knew, like pouring out beans from a bamboo tube. "Uncle Master, this person is called Fu Yu. He is usually greedy and selfish. He was like this when he took disciples out in the past. The disciples he took out always suffered heavy losses. This time it was even more outrageous. Among the ten disciples he took out, he was the only one who didn't bring back any." Zhenren Zhiyuan was very angry after hearing this. After discussing with the elders behind him, he didn't say much to Fu Yu and asked the disciples of the Deacon Hall to drag the cultivator directly to the Xing Hall.
When Leng Youran arrived, there were already a lot of people in the square. On the high platform sat Zhiyuan Zhenren and several elders from the sect. Looking at the listless Qi training disciples in the square, they wondered what had happened to them. They all looked very embarrassed, and few teams were complete. So when they came back with the fifty people behind them, everyone looked at them, and they felt a little puzzled.
The disciples behind them also felt somewhat relieved. Seeing that their cultivation had not improved much and their numbers had decreased a lot, they couldn't help but feel happy when they saw their depressed faces.
Zhenren Zhiyuan, who was standing on the high platform, saw them coming and waved to let them come forward. He was shocked when he took a look with his spiritual sense: No wonder the master wanted to plot against this girl. All the disciples he brought out this time have improved. This is just the cultivation level that can be seen. Looking at the aura of these people, it seems that their edge has been restrained a lot.
Not to mention the disciples he brought out, even the thirty disciples brought out by the other three people who trained with her had grown to varying degrees.
Moreover, they would bring back as many disciples as they took out. What made him even happier was that three of the disciples this girl brought back were about to break through the barrier of the foundation-building stage.
He waved his hand and called over three deacons and disciples.
They asked them to take the three people to complete the registration first and then they were sent directly to seclusion. Before leaving, the three people came to Leng Youran and bowed deeply to her. Without saying a word, they followed the deacon disciple and left. The remaining disciples also bowed to her and went to line up for registration.
Leng Youran walked up to Zhiyuan Zhenren, saluted him and the elders behind him, and after handing over this mission, she left and returned to her residence on Hantian Peak. What Leng Youran didn't know was that the disciples standing in the square watched her leave, and she couldn't help but regret it. Especially when those disciples heard the disciples Leng Youran had brought out talk about their experiences, they regretted why they didn't step forward in the first place! But it was too late to regret it now.
Not to mention how regretful those disciples were, Leng Youran was very tired even though he didn't train them personally in the past three months. He used his spiritual sense to pay close attention to this group of troublesome guys every day, and had to adjust the fighting methods to suit them from time to time, and make some adjustments when necessary.
Occasionally she has to give personal orders. Not only are these Qi training disciples very tired in these three months, but she also didn't have a good rest. So when she came back, she felt endless fatigue in her heart. She wanted to go back to her residence to have a good rest. These past few months have not only made her physically tired, but also consumed a lot of her mental energy. After all, these people were brought up by her, and meeting each other was fate. Since they have met, she must live up to this acquaintance, so she is very concerned about this experience.
Leng Youran slept for two days and woke up on the third morning. As soon as she woke up, she felt the communication jade talisman in the storage ring vibrating. She took out the communication jade talisman from the storage ring, and saw that it was sent by Fang Yu. She stretched out her hand and input a trace of spiritual power, and heard Fang Yu's excited voice coming from it, "Youran, have you rested well? Let's go to the Deacon Hall to get the spirit stones first. After that, Liu Yao, Zhang Hua and I will invite you to go to the market with us. By the way, we will go to Xiaoyaoju for dinner. Mengmeng will be with us this time." Leng Youran also knew what they were thinking. He had gained a lot from training with her this time, so he wanted to thank her. Fang Zheng also wanted to go out and take a look. It would be nice to go to the market after staying in the Zisha Forest for a few months.
Thinking of this, she agreed to Fang Yu's suggestion to let them wait for her in front of the Deacon's Hall. She put down the communication jade talisman, tidied herself up, and set off to the Deacon's Hall to find someone.
A group of seven or eight people were standing in front of the Deacon's Hall, looking around as if they were waiting for someone. When they saw a black dot coming towards them in the distance, the crowd suddenly became agitated. Before Leng Youran got close, she heard Qin Mengmeng's voice, "Look, Youran is here." As soon as she finished speaking, Leng Youran landed in front of her. She glanced at the crowd and found that there were a few familiar faces, but she didn't know their names.
After nodding to everyone and saying something to Qin Mengmeng, she and Fang Yu went into the Deacon's Hall together. After collecting the spirit stones obtained from this mission, she went out to meet Qin Mengmeng and the others. The group of nine left the sect and headed towards the market.
The few of them went directly to Xiaoyaoju without going to the market first.
After everyone was seated, Fang Yu began to introduce them, "You Ran, this is Senior Brother Zhao Minghui, this is Senior Brother Li Fan, this is Senior Sister Liu Yumei, and this is my cousin Fang Fang." Leng Youran politely greeted each one after introducing them. After everyone was introduced, Fang Yu pointed at Leng Youran and introduced her to everyone, "This is the Junior Sister Leng I was talking about. She's the one you've been wanting to buy spiritual wine from. And Youran is an alchemist! If you want elixirs, just ask her, it's definitely worth the money." Everyone was shocked after hearing this, especially the two male cultivators. They could never forget the taste of the spiritual wine after they drank it.
Zhao Minghui smiled at Leng Youran with a flattering look on his face and said, "Junior Sister Leng, I have known you for a long time. You don't know that since I drank the spiritual wine you brewed last time, I can never forget the taste. I wonder if you still have spiritual wine? I wonder if you can sell me some. I know that the spiritual wine outside is three low-grade spiritual stones for one pound, and the spiritual wine you have tastes more than twice as good as the ones outside, and the spiritual power contained in it is also a bit richer. How about I give you four low-grade spiritual stones for this spiritual wine?" Leng Youran smiled and thought that she had brewed a lot in the space last time. Since these people were friends of Fang Yu and others, they could also exchange them for some spiritual stones.
Then it would be okay to sell some to them.
So he asked, "Yes, yes, but how much does Senior Brother Zhao need? I just brewed a batch last time and haven't taken it out yet." Li Fan became anxious before Zhao Minghui could say anything, and kept shouting, "Junior Sister Leng, you can't give it all to him! We need it too!" The other two also nodded vigorously.
Leng Youran found it very funny, and quickly said, "Don't worry, I still have a lot of spirit wine here. As long as it's not too much, I can meet your requirements." Immediately, the people opposite were relieved. It was Zhao Minghui who spoke again, "Junior Sister Leng, we have another thing to trouble you with. I heard from Junior Sister Fang that you are a ninth-grade alchemist. We would like to ask you to refine pills and some talismans. The specific amount is a bit large. As for the reward, it will be according to the rules. Junior Sister will keep four layers of pills as hard work fee.
"I wonder if Junior Sister has time." Before Leng Youran could ask, Fang Yu on the side helped to explain, "Youran, it's like this, they went out for training this time, and happened to pass by the family, so they wanted to bring back some pills and talismans for the family.
I forgot to tell you, we're from a third-rate family in Yufeng City. We don't have many alchemists or talisman masters, let alone high-level ones. This time, we received news from our family that a second-rate family in Yufeng City wants to attack us, a third-rate family. We can't participate in the family's struggle, so we want to bring some things back to give our disciples more self-defense skills." Leng Youran heard Fang Yu say this and knew that they wanted to help the family, so he nodded and said, "I happen to be away from home for training recently, so I'll help you out! As for the reward! Since you are friends and family of Senior Sister Fang, I'll charge you two floors! I wonder if you have the materials ready.
If it's ready, I can help you refine it when we get back." Zhao Minghui and the others were immediately excited and thanked her repeatedly. They went out to buy materials without even eating.
At this time, only Leng Youran and Qin Mengmeng were left in the private room. As for Liu Yao and Zhang Hua, they had gone to help Fang Yu buy things. Only now did Qin Mengmeng have time to talk to Leng Youran. "Youran! From what you said, I drank a lot of your spirit stones before, and you gave me so many pills. You must have suffered a great loss." Leng Youran rolled her eyes at her and said helplessly, "You only know it now! Why didn't you ask me for less before? And you asked me for high-level spirit wine from time to time to honor your father. Not only that, you didn't even show courtesy to your senior brothers and sisters. If you feel embarrassed, just give me those spirit stones. I definitely won't think it's too much." Qi Mengmeng was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and pounced on her to play with her.
The two chatted for a long time in the private room. Leng Youran then took out more than a dozen jars of spiritual wine and gave her a lot of pills, talismans, and treasures. Qin Mengmeng gave Leng Youran some spiritual herbs and monster skins that she had obtained these days.
Leng Youran thought about it and gave her another bottle of stalactite liquid and two bottles of spiritual honey from the Green Spirit Bee. Knowing that she loved to eat spiritual fruits, she gave her a storage bag of spiritual fruits, which made Qin Mengmeng very happy.
