In the end, Meng Yuchang and Ma Yuanjing were determined to have died while searching for treasures in the Mountain of Flames. Unfortunately, the Mountain of Flames had long disappeared, and Meng Li couldn't find it. Meng Li wouldn't have believed it if many disciples had not testified that they had seen the Mountain of Flames, and the Taoist book had confirmed that the Mountain of Flame of the Vermilion Bird tribe was indeed in this area.
Shi Xuan borrowed the light and teleported to the Tide Mill by the Transmitting Formation. Then he took the Cloud-splitting Boat and spent several hours returning to the Guest Island of Penglai Island.
This time, he didn't see the towering Jade Tower on the Guest Island, only some extraordinarily decorated and awe-inspiring palaces. Then he returned to the main island of Penglai Island through the Rainbow Bridge on the Guest Island.
Shi Xuan and the others safely returned to the Horned Wood Peak after passing through the small town where the disciples, odd-job workers, maids, and other family members resided. In fact, the disciples of the clan could also live in those small towns, but because of the inconvenience, all those who had formed a clan were inclined to go out and look for an island rich in resources as the foundation of their clan.
In the hall of the General Affairs Hall of Jiaomu Peak, Elder Cheng Ping comforted the 13 Outer Gate disciples who had returned from the mission and announced that they would not be assigned any sect mission for the next three months. Moreover, each of them would be rewarded with 2,000 to 5,000 Karma points for searching for disciples and rescuing fellow disciples.
One Karma point was roughly equivalent to one Lower Spiritual Stone, and it was much cheaper to exchange in the sect than outside. For example, Soul-condensing Elixir could be sold for six Lower Spiritual Stones in shops or five Lower Spiritual Stones in street stalls, but only two Karma points in the sect. Therefore, many Rogue Cultivators wanted to enter the sect. They could exchange for a Lower Level celestial device (minus the consumption of elixirs) with about a year's accumulation of Karma points, unlike them, who had to work hard for more than ten years (minus the consumption of elixirs) to afford a Lower Level celestial device.
Although several Outer Gate disciples encountered danger this time, they all smiled brightly when they saw that they could accumulate Karma points for at least half a year, and at most more than a year. Shi Xuan was no exception. 3,500 Karma points could be exchanged for a large number of Taoist books and jade slips.
The other Outer Sect disciples present were all envious after seeing this. The amount of Karma points awarded to their fellow disciples was far beyond their expectations. If they had the chance in the future, they might have to help out as well.
After the Deacons recorded the Karma points into the Jade Slips of Karma points, many Outer Core disciples rushed forward and inquired about the incident from familiar disciples. It was rare to have such ups and downs in an Outer Core task.
Shi Xuan couldn't help but smile as he looked at the two beautiful women walking towards him. The two women opposite him also revealed beautiful smiles.
Yu Ruoshui signaled Shi Xuan to go out and talk with him. Therefore, the three of them rode their respective sword lights to Shi Xuan's Morning Sun Hall on the Virtual Sun Peak and sent away the four handmaidens who were doing odd jobs.
"After you set off, I heard that Meng Yuchang was the leader of the team. Then I was very worried about you, fearing that he might have some tricks up his sleeve. Unexpectedly, he died outside and you came back safely. Life is really unpredictable," Yu Ruoshui said first.
Shi Xuan drank a mouthful of water and said, "Yes. Unexpectedly, he, the most promising one among us patrolling disciples, died. I heard that he had a life-saving item given by Grand Master Meng Li." Shi Xuan didn't intend to tell the two that he had killed Meng Yuchang. Apart from the issue of confidentiality, it was really not Shi Xuan's way of life to let his friends carry such a burden and worry about him day and night.
Yu Ruoshui said bitterly, "He who commits unjust deeds deserves to die. This is the retribution he deserves."
"Haha, it's a pity that Senior Sister Ruoshui, when you break through to the Qi Drawing Realm, you can't go to him and say 'thank you' anymore." Shi Xuan thought of this.
Yu Ruoshui couldn't help laughing. "I can only burn this thank you to him in the future. Haha. "Thinking about how the shadow that had shrouded her head had finally disappeared, Yu Ruoshui's smile was incomparably bright and clear. Shi Xuan was the same. Although it was very hard to train one's mental state, no one would complain about making things difficult for them less.
Seeing that Shi Xuan and Yu Ruoshui were laughing very happily, Zhou Dielan, who had been sitting quietly to the side, asked in confusion, "Big Brother Shi, Big Sister Yu, what are you laughing about?"
Yu Ruoshui stopped laughing and told her the ins and outs of the matter. Zhou Dielan was also overjoyed and laughed so hard that her face turned red.
After finally stopping laughing with great difficulty, Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan asked about this matter curiously. Such a sensational matter really made it hard for the two of them not to be curious.
Shi Xuan told the two of them what he could. Because the most important part was when Shi Xuan fainted, woke up, and was found, the two of them were curious about the unsophisticated cultivator wearing a high crown and ceremonial robes that Shi Xuan had told them about at the end.
"Big Brother Shi, did you really see it clearly? There really was a cultivator who appeared in the sky above the Flame God Mountain with a single step? And he even walked over from the Flame Islands? Could it be that your eyes are playing tricks on you? "Zhou Dielan, who was always shy, asked many questions in one breath.
Shi Xuan sighed, "At first, I also thought that my eyes were playing tricks on me. But later on, I asked some of the disciples who were in the fog at that time. Some of them said that they saw this cultivator wearing a high crown and ceremonial robes with wide sleeves. The pattern of the flames was the pattern, and the emblem of the flames was the emblem. However, some of them looked in the wrong direction and didn't see his face clearly."
When Yu Ruoshui heard Shi Xuan's affirmative answer, she asked doubtfully, "Such a long distance, and he crossed it with a single step. I've read in the Daoist books that the power of Golden Core Stage Martial Masters isn't so exaggerated. Could it be that this is the legendary Primordial Spirit Venerable?"
"I'm afraid so. He's really like a celestial being. It makes people yearn for him. "Shi Xuan sighed. The two of them were also lost in thought. No one knew what they were thinking.
After chatting for a while, Yu Ruoshui left with Zhou Dielan, "Shi Xuan, you've been through a lot this time. You must be very tired. The two of us won't disturb you anymore. Have a good rest."
"Then, let's send Senior Sister Ruoshui and Junior Sister Dielan out." Shi Xuan also stood up.
"No need, no need. Meng Yuchang is already dead. I think we don't need to pretend to be distant anymore. Hehe, there will be many opportunities to meet in the future. There's no need to send us off." Yu Ruoshui said lightly.
Zhou Dielan also blushed and echoed, "That's right. There's no need to act like before."
"Yes, but let's see what Ye Xiangan is doing. If he's afraid that we'll take revenge on him in the future, he might continue to suppress us." Shi Xuan had to be careful.
Yu Ruoshui curled up the corner of her mouth and smiled, "You're not well-informed. Two hours before you came back, Deacon Ye was found guilty by Grandmaster Meng Li and was punished to guard the small island at the border of Yinhai. Meng Yuchang's friends also received the same treatment. Hmph, they usually rely on the support of others. They don't make big mistakes, but there are many small mistakes. Now they're going to suffer. "
Grandmaster Meng Li couldn't find out the real cause of Meng Yuchang's death, so he vented his anger on Meng Yuchang's friends, thinking that it was they who led his younger generation astray that led to his death. As for whether there was a connection between the two, he didn't care. Anyway, these guys had a lot of small problems, so he could catch them one by one.
As for Yong Xiang, the President of the Hall of Justice, he would probably be happy to see this result. Usually, those small problems would be punished to face the wall, or an Elder would come out to speak for them. Now that they were punished so heavily, Yong Xiang naturally turned a blind eye to it.
On the other hand, the small island at the border of the Yinhai Sect was one of the two most dangerous places in the Penglai Sect. If it weren't for the fact that outer disciples under five years of age could not be stationed there, there was a 99% chance that Shi Shuan would be sent there.
In the Cultivation World, Penglai, Yingzhou Sect and Guang Han Sect were on the same side, and its relationship with Luofu Immortal Sect, Skyfire Sect and Medicine King Sect was ordinary. The two heterodox sects, Hades Sect and Blood Demon Sect, had a dangerous relationship with the other six sects, because most of the skills they practiced were cruel and plunderer. The two sects had different principles, so naturally there were many conflicts. But when their strengths were similar, they restrained each other.
Therefore, it became very dangerous to be stationed at the border of Yinhai and North Sea. But relatively speaking, the Karma points were more abundant. One year there was equivalent to more than two years in the sect. Of course, those who were punished were different.
With such good news, Shi Xuan was basically relieved. In this way, he could go to the Yinfeng Cave to practice his body every month. In the past two years, he was getting closer and closer to the entrance of the cave.
He was basically relieved because Shi Xuan didn't know Meng Li's temper. He didn't know whether Meng Li would list all the people who had grudges with Meng Yushang as suspects if he couldn't find the cause of Meng Yushang's death for a long time. Even if there was no evidence, Meng Li would catch all the people who had grudges with Meng Yushang and interrogate them. But Shi Xuan was not afraid of the simple lie detection skill. But if he used the soul-searching skill, it was very likely that the disciples of his sect would become idiots, and the Hall of Justice would not allow it.
If he still couldn't find Meng Li later, he was afraid that Meng Li would go crazy and kill all the people who had grudges with Meng Yushang. But he didn't have to worry about it in the sect. The sect's discipline and safety were still very guaranteed, and there were many people whose cultivation was higher than Meng Li's. He was afraid that he would be killed by Meng Li secretly when he went out to carry out a task, or when he went to travel the world according to the sect's rules to sharpen his Taoist Heart after reaching the primary level of the Qi Drawing Realm.
Alas, he could only take one step at a time. His path of cultivation was really full of disasters and difficulties. The only fundamental solution was to improve his own cultivation.
As for the idea of escaping from the sect and disappearing in the crowd, Shi Xuan dared not have it. On the one hand, he had a guilty conscience, and on the other hand, if he really escaped, it would give Meng Li a chance to fight to his heart's content. Shi Xuan didn't have the confidence to escape from the pursuit of a guru in the Golden Core Realm. Even if he wanted to escape, he had to break through to the Qi Drawing Realm. When his strength was greatly improved, he could make plans according to the situation.
The next day, Shi Xuan went to the Dragon-Tiger Intersection Building to exchange for a batch of jade slips of cultivation experience, which cost him 300 Karma points. As for other things, he still had a lot of elixirs (accumulated from a bottle of elixirs every month), and the celestial devices were still handy, but he couldn't afford the Upper Grade celestial devices, and there were no good skills and materials here, so he could only store them for now.
In the next two months, Shi Xuan continued his hard practice. Every day, he went to the Chillywind Cave to practice, which surprised many Outer Gate disciples. In the past, when he didn't have to guard the Chillywind Cave for a month, Shi Xuan would still do some Karma points, but now he went every day without doing any Karma points. Had he been blown silly by the Chillywind?
Ignoring the confusion and mockery of the Outer Gate disciples, Shi Xuan walked firmly on his cultivation path step by step. Moreover, during these two months, he had two beautiful women to talk about metaphysics and Taoism and share their cultivation experience with him. Where else could he find such wonderful things?!
As for Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan, after they were relieved, they also followed Shi Xuan to practice in front of the Chillywind Cave, completely ignoring the confusion of others. However, because Zhou Dielan was quite popular, and Yu Ruoshui was also much better than Shi Xuan, they didn't receive much mockery. They even brought some Outer Gate disciples to practice in confusion, but unfortunately, only Shi Xuan and the other two could persist.

On this day, Mo Yuan was preaching in the Taoist Hall. After he finished, expressionless, he looked at the Outer Gate disciples below and said lightly, "I have a question, but I want to ask you. Are you willing to answer it?"
Naturally, no one answered, so Mo Yuan slowly said, "If one day, your relatives, friends, Taoist companions, and masters block your way, will you kill them? Or not? "
