Spirit Central World, Southern Land, Xuanyi Mountain
Perhaps because they had received more disciples, the current Xuanyi Mountain Sect was clearly much more lively than before.
Everywhere one looked, one could see the diligent boys and girls cultivating. They all had firm expressions and were sweating profusely.
Although the Xuanyi Mountain Sect was now the sacred ground of the Southern Land and was above the Three Great Sects, it was still very lacking. Other than their top combat strength, they were inferior to the Three Major Sects in all other aspects.
This was especially true for the cultivation of their elementary level disciples. The majority of Xuanyi Mountain Sect disciples had always been around the Yellow Stage and Profound Stage and could not compare to the Three Main Sects.
This was also the reason why Bai Ye agreed to recruit more disciples. Although he was not interested in mastering the Southern Land, with the current strength of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, it was almost impossible for the sect to remain hidden in such a remote area like before. Therefore, Bai Ye had to continue to develop and strengthen it.
“Master Sect, this is a cultivation resource handed over by the internal faction of Brilliance City. Please see.”
First Elder Wang Quan took out a storage ring and placed it in front of Bai Ye.
Ever since the Six Great Clans voluntarily left Brilliance City and handed it over to the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, the First Elder had become the new owner of Brilliance City in name.
Throughout the thousand-year history of Brilliance City, the First Elder should have been the first Heaven Stage City Lord. Even so, no one dared to oppose him. They even had to pay 30% of their cultivation resources to him as a "protection fee".
This was not something that the First Elder or the Xuanyi Mountain Sect had forced them to do. Instead, the Brilliance City faction insisted on paying because they themselves were worried.
Naturally, the First Elder would not reject such a strange request either.
"Yes." Yeah."
Bai Ye nodded and said meaningfully, "Old Man, how are you doing in Brilliance City?"
In fact, before Bai Ye became the sect head of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, the two of them should have been enemies.
Not only did both sides suffer heavy losses in the Mountain Gate Tournament a few decades ago, but they also fought for the position of sect master in the past.
However, relying on his usual shameless style, Bai Ye managed to climb to the top.
Reality proved that although Bai Ye was sometimes very unreliable, she was indeed more suited to being a sect master than the First Elder.
At least in terms of cultivation talent, Bai Ye far surpassed First Elder and had stepped into the Highest Stage long ago.
On the other hand, the First Elder had long since given up on the position of sect head and was no longer as jealous and resentful as before.
In short, the two of them were more like friends now, and there was no strict hierarchy between them.
“I think it's okay.”
After which, the First Elder immediately revealed a happy smile. “You may not know this, but every time those Brilliance City faction leaders meet me, they just want to bury their heads in the ground. Ha ha ha."
As the saying goes, when one reaches the Dao, even chickens and dogs nearby will rise to the sky.
Although the First Elder was only at the Heaven Stage, since he had the Xuanyi Mountain Sect behind him, even the experts of the Supreme Stage had to respect him. This was also why those brainless geniuses dared to act so recklessly despite their lower cultivation.
The young master of the Wei Clan was one such genius.
However, the First Elder was not that stupid. As long as no one finds fault with her, she will be fine. Nor would he do anything that went off track to avoid pulling the issue.
After all, he knew his status in the Xuanyi Mountain Sect very well. Even though he was the First Elder and was almost only inferior to the sect head, his strength was barely even included in the top five in the sect.
Moreover, Bai Ye had always hated people who caused trouble. Bai Ye specifically reminded the First Elder of this when she took over Brilliance City.
"Ah, really?"
Bai Ye said nonchalantly, "Then, keep these cultivation resources to yourself."
"Huh?"
The First Elder was astonished and thought he had misheard. "What did you say?"
Bai Ye smiled bitterly. "I said, keep these cultivation resources to yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ye flicked his finger, and the storage ring immediately flew to the First Elder.
"It's…"
The First Elder looked hesitant, not understanding what Bai Ye meant.
"Don't worry. The sect did not lack cultivation resources now. After all, you will be in charge of Brilliance City in the future. You will need it.”
After a pause, he added, "You don't want to stay at the Heaven Stage forever, do you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the First Elder, who had a hesitant expression, immediately removed his storage ring and cupped his fist. "Thank you, Sect Master!"
After all, all cultivators wanted to become stronger.
This was especially true now that the First Elder was in charge of Brilliance City. Even though he had the support of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, if he could step into the Highest Stage, it would definitely be more convenient for him to handle affairs. He also did not have to worry about the people talking behind him.
“Hahaha, why are you thanking me? You are too polite.”
Bai Ye stood up and patted the First Elder on the shoulder. He smiled and said, “You'll be leaving tomorrow. Drink with me.”
"Sure!"
The First Elder nodded heavily.
"Wu!"
Suddenly, the First Elder frowned and put down his wine cup.
"What's wrong?"
"I ... My stomach hurts."
The First Elder looked up with a painful expression.
“Your stomach hurts?”
Bai Ye was surprised. “It shouldn't be so. I just added some medicinal powder to the wine. ”
“???”
"What powder?" The First Elder endured the intense pain and asked.
“Oh, I added a fourth grade spirit herb powder that I made myself. This is called the Bursting Spirit Pill. It can increase the cultivation of a Heaven Stage cultivator. I crushed it into powder and poured it into wine.” Bai Ye explained.
“Then why are you okay?”
The First Elder wanted to cry but shed no tears.
When he heard the words "create myself", he knew that he was done.
“Because this spirit herb is only useful for Heaven Stage cultivators. That's why I didn't add it to my drink.”
“…”
It was only at this moment that the First Elder realized that he and Bai Ye did not drink from the same wine!
Too sneaky!
The First Elder never expected that Bai Ye would actually extend an evil claw at him. No wonder Bai Ye had given him so many cultivation resources now!
"How's that? Do you feel the spirit qi running through your body?”
Bai Ye was full of anticipation.
First Elder: "..."
The First Elder almost cursed Bai Ye.
Right at this moment, the First Elder's expression slightly changed. He felt an indescribable gas flowing through his body. At the next moment, this gas suddenly flowed into his lower body!
In an instant, the First Elder thought of Bai Ye's tragic state a few months ago!
"Not good!"
The First Elder was aghast, and his face reddened. He hurriedly circulated his spirit energy to suppress this gas and roared at Bai Ye, “Ahhh! I want to kill you!"
The explosion!
The Xuanyi Mountain Sect shook violently, forming visible ripples of spirit energy that spread out, attracting the bewildered gazes of many higher-ups.
"This is ... the aura of the First Elder's spirit energy?"
“And the aura of Sect Master.”
"What the hell is going on?"
“They're supposed to be competing, right?”
“…”
Everyone was discussing excitedly and confused.
At this moment, above the main hall, Bai Ye fled in panic. He turned around and said, “Stop, stop chasing me! I did that for your own good.”
“Cut the crap. Today, I will.. Wu!”.
Before he could finish his sentence, the First Elder could no longer hold him back. He clutched his stomach and quickly disappeared from sight. He did not want to lose face in front of so many people like Bai Ye.
"Hi, it seems like I failed again."
Seeing the First Elder leave, Bai Ye sighed.
Bang out!
A loud explosion suddenly sounded from the horizon, shaking heaven and earth. Even the clouds were spreading, looking very frightening.
Su Yan, who was cooking for Yun Xi on the cliff was unwilling to look towards that voice and was rather curious. "I wonder what's going on?"
“…”
"Ehem, it should be fine."
Qin Jue rolled her eyes and changed the subject. "Do you want to drink spirit wine ..."
