There were tens of millions of mid-grade spirit stones alone, as well as various magical weapons. Ye Chen scolded the Fifth Elder severely in his heart.
These five elders had withheld so much cultivation resources from the sect's disciples to accumulate such a rich fortune, but now it has all been given to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen couldn't help but reveal his big white teeth. These five elders had been busy for him for half their lives.
Ye Chen put away all the magic weapons. He didn't think much of these magic weapons and was just waiting for an opportunity to sell them for spirit stones.
Ye Chen then put all of his spirit stones, including those he had won from betting, totaling twelve million, into the Heavenly Dao Pearl, attempting to break through the seal on his cultivation.
By the time all the spirit stones were used up, Ye Chen's cultivation had only recovered to the fourth level of foundation building.
Ye Chen was so angry that he cursed the Wuji Immortal Emperor in his heart. His heart was bleeding and his face was full of pain.
After scolding the Wuji Immortal Emperor, Ye Chen hid his cultivation level again, revealing only his first level of Qi training.
The next morning, the screams of the fifth elder resounded throughout the Tianxuan Sect.
When everyone heard the noise and rushed over, they saw that the Fifth Elder's cave was in a mess, and the Fifth Elder himself was lying on the ground with a bruised face.
"Who is it?! Who did it?!"
The fifth elder roared angrily, his voice filled with grief and despair.
The disciples looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.
At this time, the sect leader Xuanji Zhenren rushed over after hearing the news. Seeing the miserable state of the fifth elder, his face became terribly gloomy.
"What on earth is going on?"
The clan leader shouted angrily.
"Master, I don't know. Last night, a mysterious man suddenly broke in and beat me up. He also stole my magic weapon and Qiankun bag."
The fifth elder struggled to get up and cried to the sect leader.
"Did you see the man's appearance clearly?"
Master Xuanji asked.
"It was a middle-aged man I had never seen before, not from our sect, and his attack was extremely ruthless."
The fifth elder's face was filled with grief and anger, his eyes were red, and he shook his head helplessly.
Master Xuanji frowned. No one noticed that a stranger had broken into the sect.
Xuanji Master pondered for a moment and said, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. You should take good care of your injuries first."
The instigator, Ye Chen, slept until noon before getting up.
He stretched and yawned as he walked out of the room, looking relaxed and at ease.
Seeing the nervous patrol disciples all around him, Ye Chen laughed in his heart, thinking that the news of the Fifth Elder being beaten must have spread, but he pretended to be confused and curious on his face.
"What's going on? Why are all the sect disciples so nervous?"
Ye Chen deliberately asked the disciple next to him.
"You don't know? The Fifth Elder was seriously injured last night?"
The disciple next to him looked skeptical.
"What?!"
Ye Chen pretended to be surprised, "The Fifth Elder was beaten? Who did this? It's too arrogant!"
"We don't know who did it either."
The disciple shook his head and said, "The sect is conducting a strict investigation."
The entire sect launched a thorough investigation, but after a thorough search, no trace of anyone breaking in was found in any of the formations.
Ye Chen didn't care about these things at all and strolled leisurely in the sect. After all, there was no outsider breaking in, and he was the one who beat someone.
He chatted with various disciples in the sect, asking about the sect's situation indirectly, such as who was the richest.
Ye Chen likes to help others the most, especially those who are rich.
Yes, it is to help, definitely not to rob!
But during a conversation with his disciples, Ye Chen learned that there was a forbidden area in the back mountain of the sect, but no one knew what was inside the forbidden area.
Ye Chen decided to find out what was going on. When he sneaked into the forbidden area, he discovered that there was a spirit stone mine inside.
This is overwhelming wealth! Ye Chen’s mouth was grinning from ear to ear.
"Haha, if I dig up this spirit stone mine, it will be enough for me to recover my cultivation. Then I can walk freely in this Canglan Continent."
Ye Chen walked around the spirit stone vein, frowning slightly.
"Hey! This is actually the mineral vein that provides energy to the sect protection formation! If all the spirit stones are taken away, the formation will collapse!"
Ye Chen was thinking about whether to dig or not. Without the protective formation of the sect, Tianxuan Sect would have no defense and would be completely exposed and easy to be attacked.
"Digging out a small half won't be a problem. Once my cultivation recovers, I can easily set up a new sect protection formation."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Chen decided to dig. After all, such great wealth was right in front of him, and giving up completely was not his style.
He took out his tools and began to dig for spirit stones, but as he was digging, a voice rang in Ye Chen's ears.
"My dear disciple, what are you doing?"
Su Taixu appeared silently behind Ye Chen and greeted him in a servile manner.
Ye Chen was so frightened that the mining tools in his hand fell to the ground. He turned around and saw that it was Su Taixu and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's Lao Su, you scared me."
As Ye Chen spoke, he raised his hand to wipe the non-existent sweat from his forehead.
"What happened to your cultivation?"
Su Taixu frowned slightly when he saw that Ye Chen only showed the first level of Qi training.
"Uh! I'm just trying to keep a low profile!"
Ye Chen scratched his head and gave a sly smile.
After hearing Ye Chen's answer, Su Taixu's mouth twitched slightly. Is it necessary for you to keep a low profile with your Qi training stage?
Suddenly, Su Taixu came back to his senses, jumped up, grabbed Ye Chen's ear and said:
"Hey! What did you call me, you little brat?"
"Oh, it hurts, it hurts, Lao Su, please listen to my explanation! I can't call you Master, this is for your own good."
Ye Chen grimaced in pain and hurriedly begged for mercy and explained.
"For my own good? You're talking nonsense, explain it to me!"
Su Taixu frowned and decided that if he was not satisfied with Ye Chen's explanation, he would put him in solitary confinement for a few days.
Ye Chen has already determined that Su Taixu is his senior brother. It is absolutely impossible for him to call him Master. It is too awkward and he really can't bring himself to say it.
He instantly put away his smile and began his performance.
He put on an expression of extreme pain, his eyes were red, and his voice became choked.
"Lao Su, I once had a master. I treated him with the utmost respect and obeyed his every word."
Speaking of this, tears welled up in Ye Chen's eyes.
He continued in a trembling voice:
"However, he didn't like me and often beat and scolded me. Until one day, he found out that I was doing good deeds and helping others outside. He flew into a rage, abolished my cultivation, and expelled me from the sect."
What Ye Chen said was heart-wrenching, with tears and agony, and tears rolled down his cheeks.
At this moment, Ye Chen seemed to be really immersed in those painful memories and unable to extricate himself.
If this kind of acting skills were used in modern times, he would definitely be awarded an international film and television award.
But I was silently reciting it in my heart.
"Old man! Don't blame me! It was you who acted like a delinquent and demoted my brother to a lower realm, and you want to demote me too."
He continued, "I often curse my master in my heart." Ye Chen emphasized this. "The curses are very ugly and vicious."
