Chapter 254 Equivalent Transactions
"Although I don't know how Wei Yunqing got close to Zuoqiu Zhenjun, I'm sure Wei Nanfeng was involved."

Wei Chenyin spoke with great certainty.

Yunxi admired Wei Chenyin's keen insight and then told her the inside story about Wei Yunqing's apprenticeship that True Lord Yu Huo had told her.

After hearing this, Wei Chenyin gasped and said:

"I never expected Wei Yunqing to have such good fortune. She was even able to cultivate the Enlightenment Fruit. I really underestimated her."

Yunxi wasn't surprised at all. She had been secretly spreading rumors before because she didn't want Yunqing to keep this opportunity. She never expected that Yunqing would use the Enlightenment Fruit to climb up to a future Nascent Soul True Monarch.

This was clearly Heaven finding Yun Qing a more powerful backer, with the aim of suppressing her. She silently gave the heavens the middle finger in her heart, then spoke:

"Senior Sister Chenyin, although Wei Yunqing used the Enlightenment Fruit as an exchange to become a Nascent Soul True Monarch, True Monarch Zuoqiu is already in seclusion trying to break through to the Divine Transformation stage and has no time to guide her cultivation."

Moreover, she possesses dual spiritual roots of water and wood, making alchemy and agriculture her strengths. Yet, she chose to join the Spirit Beast Peak. How much effort do you think True Monarch Zuoqiu will dedicate to guiding her cultivation?

Wei Chenyin nodded after hearing Yun Xi's words:
“You’re right. There’s a lot of fate involved in the relationship between a master and his disciple. Wei Yunqing is looking for a powerful backer, while Zuoqiu Zhenjun is looking for an opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. It’s just a transaction between them, and there’s not much sincerity between them. It’s hard to say how far they will go in the future.”

"Senior sister is right. After I gave her a warning, she realized that strength is the most important thing. She wanted to use someone else's strength but didn't have the ability, so she went into seclusion."

"That's good. After she became an apprentice, she even went back to the Wei family to show off. Unfortunately, neither the family head nor the elders liked her. She was embarrassed and declared that she would not help the Wei family in the future."

"Tsk tsk, as if she has done anything for the family. The reason she hasn't emptied the family is because she's not strong enough. There are people in the family who can keep her in check. Otherwise, the entire Wei family might have become her stepping stone."

Yunxi said dismissively.

Wei Chenyin smiled slightly after hearing this, feeling that Yunxi understood her as her older sister best, but she still said:
"Before I returned to the sect, I told Ling Tao to keep a close eye on Wei Yunqing. We can only believe a fraction of what she says. I will also tell the Wei family about her exchanging the Enlightenment Fruit for the opportunity to become a disciple, so that they are aware of the situation."

Yunxi agreed:
“Senior sister is right. The Wei family does not belong to Wei Yunqing alone, nor will it become a storage bag for her to take whatever she wants.”

After discussing Wei Yunqing's matter, Yunxi mentioned the trip to the Baohua Mountain Secret Realm in ten days, and Chenyin immediately said:

"I came to you to talk about this matter. All the disciples in the sect above the Golden Core stage have received the news. You have been in seclusion, and Cao Yi and the other two couldn't contact you, so they sent me a communication talisman."

Yun Xi nodded and said:
"The Fire Peak Master sought me out to discuss the upcoming trip to the new secret realm of Baohua Mountain. He instructed me to prepare in advance, saying that exploring this new realm would be extremely dangerous. I've come to see you to share some inside information with you."

The two then discussed entering the secret realm for a while, and sent message talismans to Lin Keyang, Zhang Lingrui, and Cao Yi respectively, agreeing to go to Haoran City together the next day to purchase some protective magic treasures, making sure they had enough to save their lives.

After the two had made their arrangements, Yunxi prepared to return to Lingxue Peak. She casually asked:
"Senior sister, how is Uncle doing?"

"He's recovering well, but it will take him some time to form his core. He'll definitely miss this trip to the secret realm."

"That's alright. This secret realm isn't just open once. It'll be safer for you to go next time, Uncle. It's hard to replenish the lost energy." "You're right."

Wei Chenyin escorted Yunxi to the foot of Fafeng Mountain before stopping. After watching Yunxi leave, she raised her hand and sent a message talisman to Wei Lingtao, telling him all the inside stories of Wei Yunqing's apprenticeship.

Wei Family of Haoran City

After receiving the transmission talisman from Ancestor Chenyin, Wei Lingtao's face showed an expression of "I knew it." He had said that Wei Yunqing's apprenticeship this time was a bit strange. It turned out that it was to suppress Yunxi. Moreover, this True Monarch Zuoqiu obviously did not sincerely want to take her as a disciple. Both sides were just getting what they needed.

Wei Lingtao casually handed the communication talisman to the First Elder, who then passed it on to the Second and Third Elders. These three elders would be assisting him in handling family affairs today.

After reading the report, the three elders had mixed feelings. Just as Ancestor Chenyin had predicted, it was just a transaction, and they had indirectly offended True Monarch Yu Huo. Fortunately, True Monarch did not hold a grudge against Wei Yunqing, and Yunxi mediated between them. Otherwise, they would have inadvertently created another enemy for the Wei family.

The elder stroked his beard and suggested:
"Patriarch, the matters that Ancestor Shenyin instructed have all been handled. The most important industries in Kunyu City have been transferred to the Feng family, and the Feng family is grateful. It would be best to inform Yunxi of this matter."

Wei Lingtao nodded and said:

“You’re right. The Feng family is Yunxi’s maternal family. We should let Yunxi know about what we’ve done.”

After saying that, he personally sent a message talisman to Yunxi.

Not long after Yunxi returned to Lingxue Peak, she received a message from the head of the Wei family, informing her that the Wei family had sold Kunyu City's important assets to the Feng family for a pittance. Yunxi smiled to herself.

Wei Lingtao knew how to be grateful; otherwise, the Feng family's timely help would have been a joke. After the Feng family took over these businesses, the Sun and Liu families wouldn't have had any objections, since the Feng family had helped them at a crucial moment. They were just observing and couldn't gain any advantage, so they could only blame themselves for not being decisive enough.

Yunxi calculated the time and felt that she should have completed the tasks assigned to her in the inner sect, so she went to the inner sect task hall again.

As expected, after she presented her identity jade token, the late-stage Foundation Establishment disciple in charge of settling the task respectfully replied:
"Uncle Wei, the task you posted has been completed. We inspected it and paid the spirit stones as soon as we found no problems. This is the jade slip brought back by the disciple who completed the task. Please take a look, Uncle Wei."

"Okay, hard work."

Yunxi took the jade slip and then vanished from the mission hall in a flash, so fast that the surrounding disciples didn't even see her clearly, and Sheng Yuhong, who had just arrived at the mission hall, missed the opportunity to see Yunxi alone.

Yunxi returned to her residence, channeled a wisp of spiritual energy into the jade slip, and broke the seal set by Feng Jiaqing. The contents of the jade slip were then revealed to her.

Feng Jiaqing stated that after the Wei family moved away, Kunyu City was in chaos for a short period of time. Subsequently, the other two major families took the initiative to approach the people left behind by the Wei family, wanting to take over the parts of the property that the Wei family could not take with them. The Sun family and the Liu family did indeed buy some of them.

However, a month later, the Wei family took the initiative to go to the Feng family and offered a price that surprised them all, transferring three of their more important properties to the Feng family.

After learning the reason, Feng Jiaqing took over the three properties, which were rightfully his family's. In particular, upon learning that Wei Nanfeng's lifespan had run out and that Wei Chenyin would be in charge of the Wei family, Feng Jiaqing drank two extra cups of spirit wine to celebrate.
