Junior Sister must ascend this time!

The sect leader of Jinyu Sect said, "Since the Rootless Tree has recognized you as its master, we cannot forcibly keep it. However, since it is a spiritual object shared by the seven sects, it would be unfair to the other six sects if it all belonged to your Chengtian Sect."

Except for Pu Hengzhi, all the other sect leaders nodded in agreement.

The sect leader of Jin Yu Zong patiently guided Yun Qing, trying to make her understand his unrelated message.

"Since the Rootless Tree was discovered and cultivated by the seven sects several years ago, it has been guarded and maintained by the seven sects in turn, and is only taken out once every few years for disciples to pick."

Its fruit has a significant effect on enhancing and improving a cultivator's cultivation level and spiritual roots, making it an important spiritual object and resource shared by the seven sects. Therefore…”

"If that's the case, it really wouldn't be good for me to take the Rootless Wood with me..." Yun Qing seemed to have made a big decision, and sighed as she said, "Then I'll reluctantly give the Golden Feathered Vulture to you."

"Although it's not very useful, you can use it as a mount. We've tested it ourselves, and it flies quite steadily."

Golden-feathered Vulture: ??? The bird in question is still here! What do you mean it's useless? You ignorant fool!

The sect leader of Jinyu Sect almost fainted from anger.

Pu Hengzhi flicked Yun Qing's head and said, "Alright, stop teasing Master Jin, he has a heart condition."

Yun Qing then put away her frivolous demeanor and said seriously, "As a spiritual object shared by the seven sects, I naturally cannot keep the Rootless Tree for myself. Therefore, as long as the Rootless Tree bears fruit, I will give a portion to the six sects."

The sect leader of Jinyu Sect suddenly stopped feeling dizzy, and with a little help, he was able to continue negotiating.

"Young friend Yun Qing, you have such great awareness at such a young age. We sect leaders were right about you!"

He patted Yun Qing on the shoulder and said with satisfaction, "We sect leaders have discussed it and decided that, in addition to the share that Cheng Tian Sect should receive, we will each set aside a separate portion from our own shares for you."

In this way, as long as the Rootless Tree bears fruit, Yun Qing can obtain six fruits, which is already their greatest sincerity.

"I'll have six, you'll have four."

After losing the grand gift package from the seven sects, the leader of the Biyun Sect decided to stand up and fight for more rights for his sect.

"Young friend Yun Qing, you should know how precious these Rootless Wood Fruits are. Even the most accomplished disciples of the Seven Sects might not be able to obtain just one in a year. Yet you've managed to get six at once—this is the biggest concession we've made."

He forced himself to sit up and sneered, "Don't think that just because the Rootless Wood is willing to go with you, we can't do anything to you. We can just forcibly take the Rootless Wood away; at worst, we'll just give up this spiritual object."

Yun Qing lowered her head. The sect leader of Biyun Sect felt that the situation was under control. As expected, she was just a child. She would be afraid as long as the attitude was firm.

Yun Qing sighed, "That's a real pity. I originally had a way to increase the fruit yield of the Rootless Tree, but since the sect leaders want to give it up..."

She grabbed the rootless tree. "Then you should finish this quickly. I need to go back and eat roasted spirit beast meat."

The leader of the Golden Jade Sect covered the mouth of the leader of the Azure Cloud Sect, looking at Yun Qing with anticipation, "Don't worry about that old senile man."

"You say you have a way to increase the number of rootless tree fruits?"

Yun Qing nodded, then shook her head. "Yes. But... I can't guarantee it completely."

"That's good enough!" The Golden Jade Sect leader excitedly pushed the Azure Cloud Sect leader aside. "How confident are you?"

"Eighty percent."

Yun Qing was confident. If the Ningyuan Fruit Tree could grow so luxuriantly in the spiritual spring behind the Chengtian Sect's Spirit Beast Garden, then simply throwing the Rootless Wood into it and soaking it should significantly improve its growth rate.

After a brief discussion, the seven sect leaders finally stepped forward and said, "Alright, we agree to your terms. You get six and we get four."

His heart was bleeding as he said this, but when he thought about how the rootless tree had only grown fifty-odd seedlings over the years, he figured he might as well let her give it a try, since she would bear the risks anyway.

"However, if you manage to kill it, our six sects will not let it go easily."

"Deal!" Yun Qing pretended not to know their plans and extended a hand, palm facing the leader of the Golden Jade Sect.

The sect leader of Jinyu Sect was a little confused, but he still did as he was told, reaching out and gently patting Yun Qing's palm. "Deal."

After the transaction was completed, Yun Qing carried the rootless wood in one hand and grabbed the golden-feathered eagle's wing with the other, ready to leave.

The sect leader of Zhenyue Sect hesitated, looking at her with a complicated expression.

Yun Qing tilted her head: "Is there anything else, Sect Leader Yue?"

"Um..." The sect leader of Zhenyue Sect crossed his arms and said shyly, "You..."

Pu Hengzhi couldn't stand it anymore. "What's with all this fuss about, a grown man? Why can't you just say it directly?"

The sect leader of Zhenyue Sect cleared his throat. "Young friend Yun Qing, could you please let me join you in roasting spirit beast meat?"

Yun Qing took another step back, and she knew it!

However, it would be unreasonable to refuse to give away even a single meal of spirit beast meat after receiving so many benefits from the sect leaders.

"sure."

Yun Qing tilted her head and looked at the other sect leaders, "Do you want to come along?"

The sect leader of Zhenyue Sect pulled up the sect leader of Yuling Sect, who was squatting to the side in a sullen state. "Of course we have to go! He's offering spirit beast meat!"

Sect Leader of the Spirit Control Sect: ...Did I even speak?!

However, after practicing abstinence for so many years, he really missed the taste of roasted spirit beast meat.

Moreover, after this time together, I might be able to develop a relationship with Yun Qing and then recruit her to my sect when the opportunity arises... Hehehe...

Thinking of this, the sect leader of the Yuling Sect nodded emphatically and then stood behind Yun Qing.

The Xuanming Sect leader also realized that isolating himself was useless; he wanted to eat roasted spirit beast meat too. "Count me in!"

Pu Hengzhi, of course, it goes without saying that following his disciple was a matter of course.

The other three sect leaders remained silent, simply moving their feet in silence.

Thus, another extraordinary sight appeared in the sect: a Golden Core cultivator followed by seven sect leaders who were freeloading off him.

When Yun Qing arrived at her temporary residence, the air was already filled with the delicious aroma of meat.

The four people who were busy working were so frightened when they saw their junior sister and the string of people behind her that they dropped the meat in their hands.

Si Mingche swallowed hard. "I...we're just grilling some meat, is it really necessary for all seven sect leaders to come down and arrest us?"

Pei Shubai and Jiang Mian tried to blow out the fire in front of them, but instead their faces were blackened by the smoke.

Cen Ning silently walked away. Those three were so stupid. She needed to find her junior sister…

Just as Yun Qing was about to explain, Gu Changfeng, who lived in the next courtyard, shouted from outside, "You guys had a barbecue and didn't even invite me? Are you even brothers anymore?! I brought a few bottles of spirit wine, tonight..."

He had barely stepped into the courtyard when he immediately retreated, saying, "Goodbye!"
