After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 5 was just too difficult.

[It was his own greed that led him to this. He originally intended to harm his companions so he could kill and steal treasure, but his plan backfired, and he ended up losing everything.]

[Tsk, serves them right!]

[Luckily, the people from the Immortal Sect were clever enough not to give him money yesterday, which saved them 200 crystals!]

Upon hearing Mo Jiuwei's words, the members of the Xianlai Sect exchanged glances, none of them able to utter a word.

Just as she said!
But how is this possible...

This is absolutely outrageous!
"I'll go find out if the news is true or not. You all stay calm and take good care of Jiuwei." Old Liu gave everyone a wink, then hurriedly went out.

We must confirm whether the dead person is Zheng Cheng; this is very important!

Mo Jiuwei shifted her body.

I'm hungry, I want milk!

I must say, that deer milk is actually quite delicious.

"What's wrong, Weiwei? Are you hungry?"

Chen Lan walked over with the bottle and waved it in front of Mo Jiuwei. She then noticed that the baby's eyes followed the bottle without blinking.

Chen Lan couldn't help but laugh.

Yes, yes, yes! Senior Sister Chen really understands me.

Mo Jiuwei got to drink the deer milk as she wished, and only stopped when she was full, then let out a satisfied burp.

Her adorable appearance made everyone laugh, and their gazes towards her changed from initial surprise to loving affection.

A little while later, Old Liu returned in a hurry.

"It's true! The person who died was Zheng Cheng!" He brought confirmed news. "Tu Ye from the next street went with him. He saw it with his own eyes, there's no mistake!"

The people from the Immortal Sect exchanged glances and remained silent.

Zheng Cheng wasn't exactly a good person. Back when he was still able to maintain his position at the Immortal Sect, he would often come over to eat and drink for free, taking advantage of more than two hundred crystal stones.

Later, when the Immortal Sect was in trouble and asked him for money, he was only willing to give them two hundred crystals. That was bad enough, but he also used this as an excuse to frequently demand repayment in advance, and would even take some things with him every time he came over.

It's just that the Immortal Sect is really dirt poor right now, and there's nothing left for him to take, otherwise he wouldn't have left empty-handed yesterday.

Now that he's dead, everyone has saved two hundred in debt, but they can't bring themselves to say anything sarcastic or cynical.

In the midst of the silence, everyone suddenly heard Mo Jiuwei's words—

[Huh? Senior Brother is about to break through?]

Everyone was stunned for a moment before realizing who Mo Jiuwei was pointing to.

"Xingyun, have you reached the peak of Qi Refining?" Old Liu asked Yi Xingyun with surprise.

Just yesterday, Yi Xingyun was only at the tenth level of Qi Refining and had not yet reached the breakthrough limit. Unexpectedly, his cultivation level has improved overnight!

Yi Xingyun gave an embarrassed "hmm", "It just arrived yesterday while I was cultivating".

"Great!"

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Yi."

“That’s great news.”

Everyone is happy.

"Why didn't you tell us about such a good thing? Now that you've reached perfection, the next step is to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage..." Old Liu's voice paused.

The other members of the Immortal Sect also froze, their joy vanishing, leaving only sorrow. Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage—wasn't that a simple matter?

Putting everything else aside, Foundation Establishment Pills are essential for breakthroughs, but with so many people here, it's impossible to gather even one Foundation Establishment Pill!

No wonder Yi Xingyun didn't say anything, because even if he did, it would only add to the sorrow and there was no other solution for everyone.

"It's alright, I'm still young." Seeing everyone's somber expressions, Yi Xingyun smiled brightly and comforted them instead.

"It is precisely because we are young that we cannot afford to delay! Young cultivators are vying to break through as early as possible, even by a year or a month! If we don't take advantage of our youth to break through early, are we going to end up like me, halfway to the grave, before we break through?" Old Liu said angrily.

The younger you are, the greater your potential. Establishing your foundation a year earlier will give you a greater chance of breaking through to the Golden Core stage!
"Let's pool our money and buy a Foundation Establishment Pill for Junior Brother Yi," Chen Lan said. "I also have some materials I can sell."

"I'll go to Phoenix Mountain right now. Maybe I can even gather some spiritual herbs to sell," Du Yue said.

"I have nothing else, except this gourd, which might fetch a good price."

Hu Jiu lowered his head and lovingly touched the small gourd hanging on his side waist, his eyes filled with reluctance, but in the end he still reached out and took it down.

He was a heavy drinker and had no valuables on him because he spent all his money on alcohol.

If you really want to talk about it, this seemingly ordinary little gourd is his most valuable possession, without exception.

Inside was a wine called Red Pearl, which his deceased wife had brewed with him before her death, using several kinds of spiritual herbs, making it extremely precious.

The wine was named after his wife. There was originally a jar of it, but after his wife passed away, he often missed her so much that he couldn't sleep. Whenever this happened, he would drink a few sips to remember her.

Years passed, and only this small gourd remained. He couldn't bear to drink from it, so he kept it on his person, as if she were still by his side.

This wine is rare; there is no second jar of it in the world. There are only a few left, but if you sell it, you can get at least several hundred or a thousand crystals.

Yi Xingyun was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in shock, "How can this be! This is the only thing Sister Hongzhu left you, how can you sell it!"

Hu Jiu smiled and said, "I didn't sell the crystal when I owed Zheng Chengjing because I was unwilling to give such a precious memory to that scoundrel. He didn't deserve it. But Xingyun, you do. You have a bright future ahead of you, unlike us who have no hope at all."

Yi Xingyun shook his head, "No, I will not accept it. I would rather not break through."

Ji gently gripped the sword in her hand. "Perhaps I should just sell my sword..."

"Senior Sister Ji, I disagree. Please don't say such things again!" Yi Xingyun still refused.

Mo Jiuwei was getting sleepy watching from the side.

[This is too hard for them. They have to sell off their only valuable possessions at the slightest difficulty... Do they sell off everything else like this?]

This is just sitting around doing nothing and running out of resources; it's hardly a sustainable solution.

[Hmm, there's a fluctuation of spiritual energy nearby? Let me calculate... Oh, a spiritual creature is about to appear in Qingfeng Ridge nearby.]

[Speaking of Qingfeng Ridge, it's quite a good place. If the people of the Immortal Sect could take a trip there, wouldn't getting Foundation Establishment Pills be a piece of cake?]

Mo Jiuwei was exhausted and couldn't control her body, so she fell into a deep sleep again in no time.

The group from the Immortal Sect exchanged glances, their expressions shifting slightly.

"Qingfeng Ridge?"

They said in unison.

After a moment's thought, Yi Xingyun said, "I want to go to Qingfeng Ridge."

"Let's go together!"

"Yes, let's go together, there's strength in numbers."

Yi Xingyun shook his head and said seriously, "The reason we didn't risk our lives to earn crystals is because we don't even have enough money to buy medicine. I can do dangerous things myself. Even if I lose my life, it doesn't matter. I don't need everyone to risk their lives with me."
