Chapter 85: Severing the karmic entanglements of fellow group members is a duty that the group leader should naturally fulfill!

"Young friend Zhu Chen, we have just discussed this matter. Given your current cultivation level, it would be rather unreasonable for you to become a disciple of our pavilion. Therefore, we have decided to promote you to the position of external affairs elder of our Heaven-Mending Pavilion. What do you think?"

The Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion truthfully told Zhu Chen the results of their discussion.

To show his sincerity, he also mentioned some of the benefits of becoming an elder.

For example, one can choose any cultivation technique in the sect's scripture pavilion, as well as receive resource subsidies and exclusive cave dwellings within the sect.

Zhu Chen was somewhat surprised by the decision of the Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion.

This is a world of high mystery where the strong prey on the weak, and everything is based on strength.

However, promoting a newly joined disciple to the position of sect elder sounds somewhat absurd!

The Heaven-Mending Pavilion was, after all, a major sect in the lower realm.

Such a hasty decision should not have been made.

Unless all these high-ranking officials are idiots.

"Sect Master, Elders, please speak frankly if you have something to say. I don't like beating around the bush."

Zhu Chen's gaze swept over the Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion and the others.

He did not reject these people's promotion offers, but before that, he had to figure out what was going on.

"Alright, since you've put it that way, then I'll tell you the truth..."

Ancestor Mu Yan was a straightforward person, and when he heard Zhu Chen say this, he didn't hide anything anymore and immediately told him their next plan.

It turned out that the lifespan of their Heaven-Mending Pavilion's sacred spirit vine was coming to an end. They learned that there was an immortal spring in Hundred Broken Mountains, so they prepared to find a young disciple with extraordinary strength to go to Hundred Broken Mountains to find the immortal spring.

Unfortunately, the Butian Pavilion has not recruited any outstanding young disciples in recent years.

These sect elders searched within the pavilion for a long time but could not find a suitable candidate.

With the opening of Baiduan Mountain imminent, they don't have much time left.

If they still can't find a suitable candidate by then, they'll have no choice but to try their luck with any young disciple they can find.

It would be best if we could get the Fountain of Youth.

If they can't get it, then their good days in the Desolate Region will probably come to an end.

After all, with the death of the Sacrificial Spirit Vine, the Heaven-Mending Pavilion would lose its protection, and its final fate would be the destruction of the sect and the death of its people.

Dynasties rise and fall, the strong prey on the weak—this is the law of survival in the wilderness!

The Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion and Ancestor Mu Yan and others knew this well, so when they saw Zhu Chen, they immediately made such a decision.

Their ultimate goal in winning over Zhu Chen was to invite him into Hundred Broken Mountains to help retrieve the Fountain of Immortality.

As a transmigrator, Zhu Chen was naturally well aware of the old divine vine of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, but he did not expect that Ancestor Mu Yan and others would entrust this task to him.

If he goes to retrieve the Fountain of Youth, then what is Shi Hao going to do?
"Young friend, rest assured, we only need the Fountain of Youth. We don't want anything else you obtained in Hundred Broken Mountains. If you feel that becoming an elder of our Heaven-Mending Pavilion would be restrictive to the sect, you can also become a guest elder. What do you think?"

Seeing that Zhu Chen had not replied for a long time, the Pavilion Master of Butian Pavilion lowered his requirements.

"Alright, then I'll fetch the Fountain of Youth for you."

Zhu Chen agreed without hesitation this time.

Anyway, he was going to visit Baiduan Mountain anyway.

For him, the Fountain of Youth was just a piece of cake, and not a big problem at all.

Moreover, if he wanted to obtain that fragment of Kunpeng's bone, he would need to rely on this Sacrificial Spirit Vine.

After bidding farewell to the Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, Zhu Chen followed Ancestor Mu Yan to a beautiful courtyard with clear waters and lush mountains.

The spiritual energy here is more concentrated than in other parts of the Butian Pavilion.

The courtyard not only has a two-story pavilion, but also a large medicinal field outside, where some common medicinal herbs are planted.

"This will be your cave dwelling from now on. I will send a disciple over later to help you look after the herb field. You can cultivate here in peace until Hundred Broken Mountains open..."

As he spoke, Ancestor Mu Yan tossed another token over: "This is my Elder's Token of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion. With this token, you can freely enter and leave the Heaven-Mending Pavilion without any restrictions. If you need anything else, you can talk to that disciple next time."

After explaining these matters to Zhu Chen, Ancestor Mu Yan turned and left.

Zhu Chen glanced at the medicinal herb field and suddenly remembered that he still had some roots of Soul Nourishing Wood in his possession.

"Oh no, I forgot to give Han Li those Soul-Nourishing Wood roots last time!"

He slapped his forehead and quickly opened the chat group.

[Zhu Chen: @Han Li, is Fellow Daoist Han there?]

[Han Li: What business does Fellow Daoist Zhu have with me?]

Han Li quickly replied with a message.

Zhu Chen thought for a moment, and then recounted how he had taken the Soul-Nourishing Wood and the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk from the inner hall of the Void Heaven Palace.

He planned to give the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk to Xiao Yan and ask Yao Lao to help him add some auxiliary ingredients to refine some recovery pills so that everyone could use them.

Then there's the matter of the Soul-Nourishing Wood.

He cut eight roots from the Soul-Nourishing Wood last time, and he hoped that Han Li would use the Dew of Creation to cultivate these roots.

Everyone will receive a copy, and together we will strengthen our spiritual power.

[Xiao Yan: Damn, I didn't expect Brother Zhu to have so many good things! We just harvested a batch of immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Hurry up and send me that ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk. I'll ask my teacher to find a pill formula and see if we can refine some awesome pills!]

Xiao Yan's eyes widened in amazement after hearing about the effects of the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk.

This stuff can instantly restore your mana if you drink it directly. If you add other ingredients and refine it into a pill, what would that be like?

[Han Li: So it was you, Brother Zhu, who took the items from the second floor of the inner hall. I initially thought the information in the novel differed somewhat from the real Void Heaven Palace!]

Han Li finally understood why he hadn't found what he wanted on the second floor of the inner hall of the Void Heaven Palace.

It turns out that Zhu Chen beat them all to it.

However, he didn't come away empty-handed; at least he took a spring of spiritual water.

It was a worthwhile trip.

[Zhu Chen: I'm sorry, something happened when I left, and I didn't have time to tell you.]

Zhu Chen's apology this time was sincere.

Last time he went to the Void Heaven Palace, he not only took some of Han Li's resources, but also slept with two of Han Li's confidantes.

To be honest, he felt really bad about it.

However, the thought that he was helping his brother sever the karmic ties between them made Zhu Chen feel much more at ease.

As he said before, he is willing to forge ahead and make silent contributions for the happiness of his fellow group members.

After all, as the group leader, he definitely carries more responsibilities than others.
