Xiuxian: I have an inventory

"If you want to go, go by yourself. I won't stop you. I will definitely not leave until my master comes out of seclusion."

The female cultivator named Hu remained completely unmoved by the man's persuasion.

The female cultivator's name was Hu Li, and she was in the late foundation-building stage. She was the only one among Fang Yuan's disciples who was still alive. The other disciples had all died in the battle with the Fu Hai Sect.

This time Fang Yuan was seriously injured and fled back to Sanyang Sect, where he went into seclusion to heal his wounds and ordered this woman to wait outside.

"I told you, Elder Fang was seriously injured by the famous Madam Minghe of the Fuhai Sect. With Elder Fang's cultivation and strength, it is incredible that he could hold on until he escaped back to the sect. There is no way his injuries can be healed!"

"You want to wait for his retreat to end. How long do you have to wait?"

The male cultivator spoke in an urgent voice and kept persuading him.

Listening to the male cultivator's voice and his relationship with his disciple Hu Li, Xiao Changqing searched his memory briefly and confirmed the man's identity.

This person should also be one of the inner disciples of Sanyang Sect. His name is Zhou Tong. His cultivation is slightly stronger than Hu Li, and he has already completed his foundation.

He is also a disciple of the law enforcement elder 'Jin Mu Zhenren'.

He and Hu Li entered the Sanyang Sect at the same time. They had a good relationship when they were in the Qi Refining Stage. Later, after they successfully established their foundation, they were promoted to inner disciples together.

It is rumored that he has a crush on Hu Li.

However, as an elder, Xiao Changqing's body didn't pay much attention to the private lives of his younger generations.

Now it seems to be true.

The Sanyang Sect was about to fall apart, and he figured out the situation in advance and wanted to escape in advance.

This kind of treasonous behavior should have been carried out in private and no one should know about it. Otherwise, if it gets out, even his master, the law enforcement elder Jinmu Zhenren, will not be able to protect him and may even have to clean up the sect himself.

But before he left, he was frank with Hu Li and wanted Hu Li to go with him.

"I will wait until my master comes out of seclusion." Hu Li said firmly.

Seeing that no matter how Zhou Tong tried to persuade him, it was useless, he said anxiously: "In this case, you can always try to pass on the message to the cave to see what is happening to Elder Fang? What if Elder Fang is no longer alive? Or even passed away during his retreat?"

"Shut up! My master will be fine!" Hu Li shouted angrily.

"I'm just saying it's possible, not certain. Junior Sister Hu, you're reacting so strongly, do you think what I said makes sense, and that this is very possible?"

Zhou Tong did not wait for Hu Li to refute, and immediately said: "If Junior Sister Hu thinks it is not good to test Master. You can try another way. In the past six months, Fu Hai Sect has been pressing our sect step by step. More than half of the Jindan elders have died. The situation is much worse than before. Junior Sister, you can tell Elder Fang about the current situation and ask what to do. See if Elder Fang has any response... If Elder Fang doesn't even respond, then the situation will be clear at a glance."

Although Hu Li was still very angry, he wanted to refute.

But deep down, I had to admit that what Zhou Tong said made sense.

The injuries her master suffered were indeed too severe.

When she returned to the sect half a year ago, she could see how bad the situation was.

After half a year of seclusion, there was no movement at all. What if...

Hu Li shook his head, discarded the inappropriate thoughts in his mind, and issued a final ultimatum: "Brother Zhou, you go. No matter what the situation of my master is, I will stay here. Either my master comes out of retreat, or Fu Hai Zong attacks the mountain gate, otherwise I will not leave..."

Zhou Tong hesitated to speak.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a powerful voice suddenly came from the cave on the mountain peak: "Good disciple, well said."

Upon hearing this, Hu Li and Zhou Tong were both stunned, and then they were about to look towards the top of the mountain in disbelief.

But the next moment, a middle-aged monk appeared in front of the two of them without anyone knowing when.

"Master!" Hu Li saw the person coming and asked hurriedly, "How is your spiritual injury? Have you recovered?"

Xiao Changqing nodded and said, "I have recovered. Not only that, but I have also made a blessing in disguise and made some progress..."

Compared to the previous Fang Yuan, his strength has greatly increased. Not only has his cultivation level broken through to the middle stage of the Jindan realm, he also possesses a primordial spirit. Although this is not something that can be known to outsiders, if he wants to make a difference in this Qingxu world and collect as many treasures as possible, he still needs to show a bit of strength.

Therefore, he would not be too low-key and deliberately conceal his strength.

"A blessing in disguise?" Hu Li's eyes lit up.

She has only just started her foundation-building cultivation, so naturally she cannot judge the true situation and strength of a Jindan Zhenren.

But she could roughly sense that her master was in very good condition and did not look sick at all.

And it does seem to be even more unfathomable.

Even now, the feeling her master gave her was that of a supreme elder or even the sect's master, as vast as the ocean.

"Meet... Elder Fang."

Zhou Tong looked very nervous, his eyes were wandering.

Unexpectedly, this Elder Fang could still be alive and well even after being severely injured by Madam Minghe!

A blessing in disguise?
Is it true, or just pretend?

Looking at this imposing appearance, I'm afraid it's really the latter...

"Xiao Zhou, it's not easy for the sect to train you. Now that the sect is in trouble, you don't think about how to do your part to help the sect overcome the difficulties. Instead, you are misleading people everywhere. What is your intention? If I expose this matter to others, not only will your master not be able to protect you, but he will also be the first to take action to clean up the sect, right?" Xiao Changqing asked coldly.

"I……"

Zhou Tong's expression changed drastically, and he still wanted to quibble.

Unexpectedly, this old guy heard their entire conversation just now!
Seeing Xiao Changqing's cold eyes, he knelt down immediately: "Please spare my life, Elder Fang! Disciple... Disciple knows my mistake! Disciple was bewitched just now, and would never dare to betray the sect..."

"Alright." Xiao Changqing sneered and asked, "You said that most of the core disciples of the sect master's lineage have already been transferred. Where did you know that?"

"This..." Zhou Tong's forehead was suddenly covered with sweat, and he didn't know how to answer.

Although Hu Li stood on her master's side, she still felt a little reluctant to see Zhou Tong like this.

After all, the other party came here for her own good.

So Hu Li also helped to plead, "Master, please forgive Senior Brother Zhou this time. He knows his mistakes and will correct them."

Xiao Changqing pulled up his cheap disciple and said, "For the sake of little A'li, I won't bother with you. But, now tell me what major events have happened in the sect in the past six months and how the situation has deteriorated..."

He didn't really want to punish this person.

In the past, Fang Yuan might have been an elder who was loyal to the Sanyang Sect and was willing to risk his life for the sect.

But Xiao Changqing didn't have such strong feelings for the Sanyang Sect. The reason he said this, in addition to wanting to maintain his original character, was mainly because he wanted to find out what major events had happened during his six months of seclusion.

Zhou Tong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and quickly began to briefly recount the battle situation between the Fu Hai Sect and the San Yang Sect.

The Fu Hai Sect and the San Yang Sect are two major Nascent Soul Sects with adjacent territories. Due to various issues such as mineral resources, business, and even the source of disciples, friction has lasted for hundreds of years.

Originally, over the past hundred years, the new leader of Sanyang Sect had an excellent talent for cultivation and worked hard to develop Sanyang Sect. Not only did he suppress Fuhai Sect in all aspects, he even had the tendency to expand the 'Nine Holy Places' of Qingxu Realm into ten holy places.

As a result, the sect declined after its peak. First, a genius in the sect died unexpectedly, and then the sect leader Chi Xuan Zhenjun was seriously injured, and the offensive and defensive situation was reversed.

And the biggest change in the past six months is that Zixia Sect, one of the nine holy sects, has been fanning the flames openly and covertly to help Fuhai Sect squeeze Sanyang Sect, and it seems that they want to wipe out Sanyang Sect and destroy its inheritance.

Xiao Changqing nodded after hearing this.

In fact, after Saint Zixia's death, his body 'Fang Yuan' had already received similar news half a year ago.

But at that time it was more of a guess. Zixia Holy Land had not made any obvious moves yet, but the Sanyang Sect's top leaders could vaguely sense it.

Now the situation is clearer.

"There are rumors that the reason why our Sanyang Sect has fallen to its current state was actually planned by the Zixia Sect from the beginning..."

"Zixia Sect does not want our Sanyang Sect to grow stronger step by step, and to be promoted to a holy land in the future, to be on equal footing with them and divide up Dongji Province."

Zhou Tong didn't dare to hide anything and poured out all the uncertain events that had happened in the past six months.

The territory of Qingxu is vast and boundless, and is divided into 21 states.

Some of the states with slightly larger areas are estimated to be comparable to the immortal cultivation world of Dayu.

The Sanyang Sect and the Fuhai Sect are both located in Dongjizhou.

Although these two Yuanying sects are first-class sects in Dongjizhou, there is a supreme behemoth in Dongjizhou, and that is the Zixia Holy Land with a heritage of more than three thousand years!
There are three Yuanying Zhenjuns in the open in Zixia Holy Land, and no one knows if there are more in secret, but among these three Yuanying Zhenjuns, there is one in the middle Yuanying stage!

"Purple Cloud Holy Land..."

Xiao Changqing looked serious, but he didn't seem worried or troubled.

What he was thinking about was that this super large sect with a heritage of more than three thousand years had produced nearly twenty Nascent Soul True Lords, and even a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage!

For a sect like this, there must be a lot of fourth-level treasures, and maybe even fifth-level treasures!

"It would be great if the sect I traveled to was the Zixia Sect."

Xiao Changqing thought with regret in his heart.

However, after we have emptied the treasury of the Sanyang Sect, we will see if there is any hope of fleecing the Zixia Sect.

"Let's go quickly."

Xiao Changqing glared at Zhou Tong and waved his hand.

Zhou Tong felt as if he had been pardoned and left quickly.

……

……

Sanyang Sect.

Feilai Peak.

This is the cave of the law enforcement elder Jinmu Zhenren.

Although Jinmu Zhenren's spiritual talent is not top-notch, the quality of his golden elixir is quite good. The color of his golden elixir is relatively pure without many other colors. Therefore, in less than fifty years after forming the golden elixir, he has already advanced to the middle stage of the golden elixir, and his progress is quite rapid.

Although the possibility of reaching the Nascent Soul stage is basically zero, there is a high probability that one will reach the late Jindan stage in the future.

In the late stage of Jindan, in non-holy land sects, he is already a pillar-like existence, and his status can be firmly ranked in the top ten.

"Master..."

Zhou Tong waited respectfully outside the cave for more than an hour before the cave formation was opened. He walked in nervously.

"What? Did the mission fail? So Hu Li doesn't want to leave with you?"

Master Jinmu opened his eyes and looked at his disciple's timid look, and immediately guessed the result.

Zhou Tong nodded and said helplessly, "Originally, I had a chance to persuade him successfully. But who would have thought that Elder Fang would not actually sit and die, and he was in excellent condition after coming out of retreat. He claimed that he had not only fully recovered, but also turned a disaster into a blessing, and his strength had increased."

"He resisted the attack of Lady Styx's 'Forget River Ferry', and not only did he not die, but he also fully recovered in just half a year... Could it be that Fang Yuan has a divine soul treasure?"

Kaneki frowned.

Madam Minghe is in the late Jindan stage. Her frontal combat capability is not outstanding, but her spiritual attack methods are among the best among the Jindan cultivators in the entire Dongji Province.

Even if he is in the middle stage of Jindan, if he withstands an attack from Wangchuandu, his end will be miserable if he does not have a soul defense treasure.

I didn't expect that Fang Yuan, who was only in the early stage of Jindan and not outstanding in any aspect, was not seriously injured.

As for Fang Yuan's claim that it was a blessing in disguise and that his strength had improved, Master Jinmu didn't listen at all.

Not dying is already good luck, and it’s a blessing in disguise?

Stop talking.

Do you think you are a child of destiny, a man with great luck?
"Hu Li must be under control, otherwise it will ruin the next big thing."

Jin Mu Zhenren was calculating in his mind.

He had started planning this many years ago, asking his most outstanding disciple to approach Hu Li and secretly lay the groundwork.

Then in this great battle between Fu Hai Sect and San Yang Sect, all of Fang Yuan's disciples except Hu Li died. Even Fang Yuan's encounter with Madam Minghe was due to his secret obstruction!

Otherwise, the conflict between the two sects half a year ago would not have reached the point it is today, and Fang Yuan, a cultivator in the early Jindan stage, would not have been hunted down by a cultivator in the late Jindan stage.

He thought that since Fang Yuan and several of his disciples were all dead, Hu Li would be isolated and helpless, and it would be easy to win him over and take him away.

Who would have thought that Fang Yuan would come back to life.

Fang Yuan and Hu Li have a very good relationship as master and apprentice. It would be more difficult for Fang Yuan to win over Hu Li if he is still alive. (End of this chapter)
