Starting with the Corpse-Eating Worm, he worked his way up to become the Left-Winged Immortal Lord.

"Master Gu, the bell has rung nine times. This means a matter of life and death has occurred within the temple!" a young Taoist priest reminded Gu Qing.

Upon hearing this...

The words "Heavenly Principle Sect" immediately popped into Gu Qing's mind.

Without giving it much thought, Gu Qing hurriedly returned to the main hall of Wufeng Temple.

At this moment, many young Taoist disciples had hurriedly arrived outside the main hall of Wufeng Temple. They stood outside the hall, their expressions solemn as they discussed amongst themselves. This was because most of them had not yet recovered from the chaos that had occurred at Wufeng Temple a few days prior.

If another life-or-death crisis were to occur at this moment, their chances of survival would be extremely slim.

As Gu Qing walked past the group of Taoist children into the main hall, many Taoist priests had already gathered inside.

Senior brothers Ding Xian, Li Fu, and others have already arrived.

Gu Qing bowed and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Ding Xian shook his head and remained silent.

Li Fu frowned deeply and said, "It's most likely related to the Heavenly Principle Sect."

The words fell.

Chen Ye, Lu Xingzhi, and a group of Qi Refining Level 6 cultivators hurriedly entered the hall, which made the other disciples dare not utter another word.

This instantly pushed the tense and oppressive atmosphere in the hall to its peak once again.

Gu Qing could even hear the heavy breathing of the people around her.

When Gu Qing looked up and saw the solemn expressions of the group of Qi Refining Level 6 cultivators, his heart also tightened.

Does the Heavenly Principle Sect intend to destroy the Wufeng Temple?

They didn't even give him time to cultivate Ghost Leaf?

Filled with unease, Gu Qing waited for Lü Song.

Lü Song entered the palace with his hands behind his back. His steps were not fast, but each step felt as if it were stepping on everyone's hearts.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Once he stood at the top, his words caused everyone's expressions to change drastically.

"I just received news that Deng Hui, the traitor of Xuanqing Academy and the culprit who caused the chaos at Wufeng Temple a few days ago, has been leading the Tianli Sect cultivators to attack the miscellaneous and unorthodox sects in Changping County since the day before yesterday."

Those who did not pledge allegiance to them were doomed to death. As of this morning, over a hundred miscellaneous cultivators had already perished.

Not only that, the Tianli Sect cultivators have been relentlessly plundering the properties and resources of my Wufeng Temple throughout Changping County. The losses in just a few days have already been considerable. If this continues, my Wufeng Temple will surely be slowly devoured by them…”

Hearing Lü Song's chilling words, Gu Qing's breathing quickened, and Deng Hui's face flashed through her mind again.

In his view, the Heavenly Principles Sect might want to deal with the Five Peaks Temple, but Deng Hui was definitely not that kind of person.

After all, compared to the Foundation Establishment Dao Fruit, everything else is too insignificant.

The reason he committed such a high-profile killing was most likely because he wanted to use the Heavenly Principles Sect to muddy the waters and then take advantage of the chaos to find himself.

He might even have guessed it, after all, the news that he had become Lu Xingzhi's personal disciple must have already been known to the Heavenly Principles Sect.

Deng Hui might be trying to force him to leave Wufeng Temple!

After all, if the Wufeng Temple's industries are affected, it will directly impact the annual supply to Xuanqing Temple.

If the annual offerings are lost, the price that Wufeng Temple will have to pay will be far greater than the chaos caused by the Tianli Sect.

In this way, Wufeng Temple will definitely send monks to guard and inspect those properties.

Sending mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators directly would be a waste, so those with lower cultivation levels are the first to do these tasks.

In this situation, even if the person in charge is personally instructed, they still have to do things and cannot stay in Wufeng Temple indefinitely.

"This Deng Hui really has a good plan, but as long as I don't leave Wufeng Temple, there shouldn't be a big problem."

Thinking of this, Gu Qingxin calmed down a little.

however.

Lu Song's next words caused Gu Qing's expression to change abruptly.

"From this day forward, all cultivators within Wufeng Temple will be under the unified command of the Dharma Protector Hall, and no one will be exempt."

After all,

Lü Song strode away.

Gu Qing was left completely bewildered.

It's said that the Dharma Protectorate will coordinate everything, but frankly, isn't that just letting Chen Ye make the arrangements?

"This is a bit troublesome."

Gu Qing's gaze inadvertently drifted towards Chen Ye.

As Chen Ye turned around, his gaze involuntarily swept over him.

Their eyes met.

In an instant.

But Gu Qing saw a lot.

"Wufeng Temple has nurtured you all for many years, and now it is time for you to serve Wufeng Temple! First and foremost is the medicine hall, where you are of utmost importance. Everyone in the medicine hall must be mobilized, and absolutely no one can slack off."

Lu Feng's words immediately shattered Gu Qing's idea of ​​staying at Wufeng Temple and not leaving.

……

After leaving the main hall, Gu Qing had no intention of returning to his residence and went straight to the shady area behind the mountain.

He still has 50% of the Yin energy within him, which allows him to continue cultivating Ghost Cover Leaf.

If I can cultivate the first Ghost Leaf, I should be able to use it to my master.

After returning to the shady spot behind the mountain, Gu Qing didn't bother raising the broken hollow stag beetles. He immediately devoted himself to nurturing the Ghost-Covering Leaf medicinal seed with yin magic.

Meanwhile, the hollow stag beetle is also on high alert, guarding against the threat that the insects might pose to the budding leaves.

As a large amount of Yin magic was used to nurture the Ghost Leaf, the Ghost Leaf, which had only sprouted a finger-sized bud, began to grow wildly.

In just half an hour, the tender shoots of the ghost-covered leaf broke through the soil.

But at the very moment of this breakthrough, an aura spread throughout the mountains and forests, which even the Yin magic could not withstand.

After a hundred breaths.

A few breaths later, the sound of the strange insects flapping their wings rang out from the other side of the mountain forest.

It's still incredibly noisy.

Once they found the shady spot by following the scent, they immediately pounced on it with the excitement of hungry dogs seeing excrement.

The number is so large that there are at least six or seven hundred.

Upon seeing this, the young Taoist priests who had just arrived from Wufeng Temple to tend to the evil spirit medicine changed drastically and immediately went to find someone to help. As young Taoist priests who had been cultivating evil spirit medicine for many years, they knew all too well the terror of spirit-eating insects.

Although they do not like to eat most of the evil and yin medicines, if they are not full after they appear, they will destroy other evil and yin medicines.

If they are allowed to wantonly destroy the evil medicinal herbs in the Yin Land, they will not only die at the hands of the Heavenly Principle Sect cultivators, but they probably won't even survive until tomorrow.

however.

Just as the group was hastily setting off, a gray light suddenly appeared beside Gu Qing, transforming into a startled swan as it plunged headlong into the pile of spirit-eating insects.

Swah——

In an instant.

The swarm of spirit-eating insects was torn open with a large gash.

At the same time, a large number of corpses of spirit-eating insects fell like raindrops.

Everyone was shocked to see this.

Their steps also came to a stop.

When they saw swarms of spirit-eating insects being killed by that gray light, the fear on everyone's faces completely turned into joy.

Great.

No need to die!

However, Gu Qing had no time to care about these things at the moment; he was focused on cultivating the Ghost Leaf.

A large amount of Yin energy from the earth veins began to gather at the roots of the Ghost Leaf, and the Ghost Leaf absorbed the Yin energy from the earth veins like a gluttonous beast.

Gu Qing still needs to protect the process with Yin magic. If the Yin magic is insufficient or the control is off, it will cause the Yin energy of the earth veins to surge chaotically, thereby impacting the fragile branches and leaves of the Ghost Cover Leaf and making all efforts futile.

Fortunately, he is now at the second level of Qi Refining, with sufficient Yin techniques, and with the help of two powerful alien insects of the same mind, he can control them with ease.

As time went on.

Once the invading codling moths were completely eliminated, the 'Ghost Leaf' seedling stage was also fully recovered.

The branches and leaves have unfurled, already showing signs of vigorous growth.

Furthermore, the ghost faces on the leaves are gradually taking shape.

This is the end.

The first *Ghost Leaf* plant has been successfully cultivated!

After that, you only need to take simple care of it and prevent the worms from attacking.

"With this Ghost-Covering Leaf, I should be able to stay at Wufeng Temple. After all, I'm currently the only one in the medicine hall who can cultivate Ghost-Covering Leaves while dealing with the Spirit-Eating Insects."

Gu Qing murmured to himself, leaving the Hollow Shovel Beetle next to Ghost Cover Leaf before heading to the pharmacy.

But to their surprise, as soon as they arrived at the pharmacy, they heard Cheng Xiu issuing orders to the people there.

His name appears in the very first sentence!
