Shi Mingxiu deeply suspected that she was richer than him, yet she was still sparing no effort to fleece him. This rascal, she's never stopped taking advantage of him!
However, though he didn't show it on his face, he was very worried. Looking at the eager looks of the other sect leaders, who couldn't wait to poach Shi Xuan from their Lianfeng Sword Sect, he couldn't be like those fools from the Divine Cauldron Sect, short-sighted and letting go of such a talented disciple. He was afraid that his ancestor would come to him in a dream in the middle of the night and scold him.
Thinking of this, Shi Mingxiu smiled kindly at Shi Xuan and said, "Here you go, here you go. There are more than a dozen courtyards on that street where your little shop is located. Although it is in a remote area, your reputation is now well-known. Good wine needs no bush. You can have that whole row! As for the spiritual plants, when we return to the sect, you can choose a few at will. How about that!"
Judging from his posture, he seemed to think he could take anything from the Lianfeng Sword Sect without a second thought.
The sect leader, who is usually a bit stingy, is being unusually generous today. I thought we'd have to haggle for ages.
Shi Xuan looked at Shi Mingxiu carefully, and it took some effort to resist the urge to go forward and check if he was being impersonated.
Just then, a startled cry rang out from outside: "Who is about to undergo tribulation?!"
Shi Xuan paused for a moment, then hurriedly pushed open the door and went out.
The sky outside had become somewhat gloomy. In the mountains not far away, the tribulation clouds had condensed into thick, dark clouds, looking even more terrifying than Shi Xuan's Golden Core Tribulation.
Beneath the thick clouds of tribulation, a figure stood vaguely, tall and upright, exuding an air of carefree immortality.
"It's Master!" Shi Xuan exclaimed urgently, "Master is going to undergo the Refinement Thunder Tribulation here?!"
“Your master has been at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage for far too long. Since your senior brother’s accident, his cultivation has not progressed at all. This time, it’s probably because you won the championship of the Six Sects Competition that he was happy and passed through this barrier.”
Shi Xuan had already rushed out. She thought to herself, "Last time at the Luoyin Sect, my master showed signs of a breakthrough. This time, he probably can't hold back any longer."
Shi Xuan stepped on the puppet sword and arrived in front of Lin Daozi in just a few breaths.
At this moment, the thunderclouds had become heavy and seemed about to fall from the sky at any moment, and lightning had already gathered and taken shape in the thunderclouds.
"Master, take this." Shi Xuan tossed a storage bag to Lin Daozi.
Lin Daozi said urgently, "You child, it's dangerous here, you need to get out quickly!"
The heavenly lightning was about to strike, and the situation was extremely urgent. Lin Daozi was afraid that the lightning tribulation would strike his precious disciple first.
Shi Xuan didn't linger. After delivering the storage bag, he quickly retreated, moving out of the range of the tribulation clouds.
She remained relaxed, grinning as she said, "Master, don't forget my spiritual root. You should also give me a bolt of heavenly lightning later."
Lin Daozi was both amused and exasperated by her words. Some people wanted to share spirit stones, others wanted to share treasures, but who wanted to share heavenly lightning!
But when she thought about how she had developed a lightning spiritual root after being struck by He Weiqing's lightning tribulation, she felt that it was normal for anything to happen to his junior disciple.
"You should retreat to the outer perimeter first, and don't rush in!" Lin Daozi was still somewhat worried.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the first bolt of lightning struck down, hitting Lin Daozi squarely on the head. In an instant, his previous aura of immortality vanished, and a single bolt of lightning transformed him into a disheveled old man.
Shi Xuan laughed without any politeness: "Master, there are pills and magical artifacts in the storage bag, feel free to use them!"
At this moment, people from other sects also heard the commotion and rushed over. Upon hearing what Shi Xuan said, several of them, who were also masters, felt extremely resentful.
Why is it that when Lin Daozi, a master, undergoes a tribulation, his disciples prepare magical artifacts and pills for him, while the others prepare them for their disciples?
Feng Hanmo curled his lip and said, "Who needs their disciples to prepare things for their tribulation? Humph."
“Exactly,” Quanxing chimed in, “That Lin Daozi is such a loser! Everyone should despise him, pshaw!”
Lu Changyi narrowed his eyes: "Our cultivation world should resist these crooked and evil practices! How can a Grand Cultivator in the Void Refinement stage extort money from his disciples during his tribulation?!"
Qi Xinjue touched his nose and said, "He doesn't act like a teacher."
"Heh, I think you're just jealous." Shi Mingxiu, who followed Shi Xuan out, sneered, "This sour smell is so strong that I could smell it even if I stayed in the Lianfeng Sword Sect."
After saying this, he turned to look at Shi Xuan not far away and asked, "When I undergo my tribulation, I wonder if I will be able to have such a storage bag."
So, you're being so generous today because you want to get something from her in the future? That's easy.
Shi Xuan nodded and smiled, "No problem, no problem. I will definitely prepare all the pills and magical artifacts in the storage bag for the sect leader, and I will also provide the Ling Shen Pill that I promised the sect leader."
Shi Mingxiu immediately beamed with joy, his beard practically flying up with him.
Seeing this, the other four sect leaders despised him even more.
How could there be such a sect leader in this world! Shamelessly demanding items from junior disciples! If a disciple like Shi Xuan came to their sect, what wouldn't they have? Why would they need her support?
Shameless! Utterly shameless!
Feng Hanmo glanced at the oblivious Shi Xuan and said carefully, "I haven't thanked you in person yet for saving my son's life! After the rewards for the Six Sects Grand Competition are distributed, I will open my private treasury. If you don't mind, you can choose any two items."
Shi Xuan was pleased: "Sect Master Feng is very generous! Then this junior will accept the offer without being impolite."
Shi Mingxiu continued to make sarcastic remarks: "Really, you saved your son's life, and you only let me choose two things."
Feng Hanmo...
His treasury contains treasures of all grades; the two best pieces he chose are priceless. Unlike him, a sect leader who asks his disciples for things and yet has the audacity to mock others! Where does he get his courage?!
Shih Ming-hsiu is too hated.
You'd think his resounding victory in the Six Sects Tournament was already enviable, but having a disciple like Shi Xuan made him even more coveted. But look at him now! The disciple everyone wanted, he's now the one for whom they have to subsidize their sect out of their own pockets!
The subsidy for the master wasn't enough, now the sect leader is asking for one too! Will all the peak masters and elders have to come and ask for one when we get back?!
Thinking of this, the sect leaders felt their eyes redden. What virtue or ability did Shi Mingxiu possess to have such an outstanding disciple!
Quan Xing of the Luoyin Sect could no longer hold back and stepped forward to ask Shi Xuan, "Shi Xuan, do you still remember the mountain that you blew up in the Luoyin Sect?"
"Azure Feather Peak?"
How could Cangyu Peak not remember? She saved the spiritual veins of Luoyin Sect after she blew up that place, but they haven't shown any gratitude yet.
Quan Xing said, "The Luoyin Sect is currently in dire need of reconstruction. If you can come to the Luoyin Sect and become a formation cultivator, the rebuilt Cangyu Peak will belong to you. From then on, you can become the master of a peak and start your own sect and take on disciples."
