"We don't want your damn legacy anymore! Let us go back!"
One of the Penglai disciples almost choked out a roar.
But their reaction actually pleased Yuehua.
"How adorable. Receiving my inheritance will allow your cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, and breaking through to a higher realm will be just around the corner. Are you really willing to give it up?"
Breaking through realms and ascending to immortality...
They risk their lives, seize opportunities, and strive to pass on their skills, all for the sake of one day breaking through the barriers and ascending to immortality.
Many cultivators are stuck at the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage their entire lives, until they grow old, die, and their cultivation dissipates.
Now that the opportunity to break through to a higher realm is right in front of them, can they really turn around and leave without looking back?
Just for the sake of the dignity of a righteous disciple?
No one spoke again; that was the answer.
Immediately afterwards, another bell rang.
Everyone now had a pot of sunflowers in their arms.
It's one-fifth of the hour (11:00 AM), the banquet is about to begin.
The familiar background music started playing, startling some of the more timid disciples.
"Has the banquet started yet?!"
"Why doesn't it seem like Senior Yuehua's guest has arrived?"
"It's best if they don't come; I have a feeling these guests aren't exactly friendly..."
Only Chu Hongluan knew that this brief respite was for them to prepare for battle.
Chu Hongluan found a corner, beckoned, and called over all the disciples of Tianji Pavilion.
“Hold your sunflowers, form two concentric circles, and squat down.”
They didn't understand Chu Hongluan's intentions, but they unconditionally believed her.
"What? What?"
"Köttinghe asked, raising his arm."
Chu Hongluan was extremely annoyed. She was already preoccupied with her own sect, and now she had to deal with him too.
"You're just like them!"
Kotinghe happily hugged his sunflower and plunged into the crowd.
Just as Chu Hongluan was about to make her next move, she noticed that the elder of the Sword Sect was staring intently at her, as if waiting for her to call out to him.
"...Why don't you come along too?"
"Okay."
"......"
With a wave of her hand, Chu Hongluan conjured up a plump radish that appeared right in the center of the circle they had formed.
She suspected that a monster would fall from the sky soon, but there was only one radish umbrella, so everyone had to squeeze together.
"Wow! I remember now! Elder Chu picked up a lot of plants in the forest before!"
"Elder Chu, did you foresee this perilous situation?"
"Elder Chu's strategy is truly brilliant!"
Yuehua's expression, which had been expecting a good show, suddenly froze.
What happened?
The others also noticed what was happening on her side, and their hearts stirred.
She actually has a space big enough to hold living things!
You should know! These kinds of magical treasures are extremely rare and priceless!
Even spending thousands or tens of thousands of Heavenly Spirit Jade might not be enough to acquire a tiny living space!
Some felt envy, while others felt jealousy.
Just how many treasures does Chu Hongluan possess?!
Then I thought, what does it mean that she picked up a lot of plants from the forest? Does that mean she didn't need to exchange them for sun crystals at all?
This... violates the rules, doesn't it?
Upon seeing Yuehua's expression again, some people began to worry about Chu Hongluan's situation.
A small group of cynical and sarcastic people are gloating and waiting to see what happens.
However, the truth is that Yuehua's smile only froze for a moment before she smiled again, even more brightly than before: "Oh my! No wonder you're from my hometown! You have foresight!"
"You flatter me, you flatter me."
Seeing that Chu Hongluan had received Yuehua's tacit approval, the Sword Pavilion elder walked over, looking down at people with an air of superiority: "Doesn't your Heavenly Mystery Pavilion take the well-being of all people as its responsibility?"
"so what?"
"Hmph, do I need to spell it out for you?"
The elder of the Sword Pavilion grew increasingly arrogant, and his gaze toward her became more and more disdainful: "You have sunflowers, you can just exchange them for any plant you want with sun crystals. Since you brought extra plants, I think you should give them to those who need them more."
Upon hearing this, the half-dead Jade Maiden Sect and Joyful Union Sect cultivators inside the light circle immediately turned to him with tearful gratitude.
Chu Hongluan was so angry she laughed.
Are you trying to morally blackmail me?
"Oh? I didn't realize you were such a kind-hearted person."
Chu Hongluan raised her chin, her eyes mocking: "Senior is right, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion does indeed take the well-being of all people as its responsibility. But as an elder of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, I brought many disciples with me on this trip, and I also bear the responsibility of bringing them back safely."
Then the tone shifted.
"Unfortunately, I am still young, and my cultivation is not as profound as that of you seniors. How easy is it to protect my own disciple? I can only prepare for anything in advance, just in case. If you insist, I am not unwilling to give up the plant..."
Chu Hongluan took out a bunch of mushrooms from her spatial bracelet: Sun mushrooms, giant shiitake mushrooms, small shiitake mushrooms, cowardly mushrooms...
The Sword Pavilion elder's face showed greed, and he reached out to gather his spiritual energy to take it, but then Chu Hongluan sighed deeply and said:
"For millennia, our Heavenly Mystery Pavilion has striven for the well-being of all people, putting the world before ourselves. Yet now, the people of the world do not value the lives of our Heavenly Mystery Pavilion disciples..."
The Sword Pavilion elder's hand froze halfway, his face turning bluish-purple as the plant in front of him suddenly became scalding hot.
If he really takes these plants, and if even one of the disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion gets into trouble tonight, the Gale Intelligence Agency's daily report will be filled with lengthy articles, and he will be condemned for all eternity.
Even if he saved the Jade Maiden Sect and the Joyful Union Sect, no one would thank him.
They would just say: It's not like I asked you to take care of those plants they wanted.
People will criticize him for taking advantage of his seniority and bullying others, and condemn him for being selfish and using other people's things to save others when he is clearly more powerful. They will also condemn him for being ungrateful and for chilling the hearts of truly righteous sects.
"Oh, senior, there's no need to feel pressured. I was just expressing my feelings and had no other intentions."
Chu Hongluan added the last sentence with an innocent expression.
She may not like arguing, but that doesn't mean she's bad at it; she may be very strong, but that doesn't mean she won't show weakness.
She can also use moral blackmail.
This is an example of using someone's own methods against them.
The Sword Pavilion elder withdrew his hand, forcing himself to smile: "It was my oversight. Elder Chu should use these plants."
"Have a safe journey."
The Sword Pavilion elder was seething with anger and was about to storm off when, at the same time, Yuehua's first guest arrived.
With a bang, the carrot leaf swelled up dozens of times!
With a whoosh, Yuehua's first customer left.
......
The elder of the Sword Pavilion was shocked and hurriedly shouted, "Everyone on high alert!!!"
Even if it was only for a moment, everyone was able to see what the so-called guest looked like.
It was an extremely terrifying flying beast, half of its body was flesh and blood, and the other half was just a skeleton! Its internal organs were exposed naked in the air, bringing with them a nauseating stench.
