Luo Qingfeng stood up, bowed slightly to Chen Xuan, and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen! I've benefited a lot from drinking this cup of wild tea! "
Chen Xuan said with a smile, "Sect Master Luo, you don't have to be so polite. This wild tea is only effective the first time you drink it. Many Fellow Daoists in the cultivation world have also drunk it …"
"It would be great if this tea could be planted on a larger scale …" Luo Qingfeng said.
Chen Xuan and Mu Sheng both laughed when they heard this. Mu Sheng said, "Sect Master Luo and Little Brother Xia are indeed fellow disciples! You both have the same idea! Just now, Little Brother Xia asked Fellow Daoist Chen for the branches of the wild tea, and Fellow Daoist Chen agreed! "
Chen Xuan said with a smile, "In fact, every year we send out some branches of the wild tea to other Fellow Daoists who need them, but so far, no one has been able to successfully breed the wild tea. Since Brother Xia wants to give it a try, our Tianyi School will not be stingy. It's just a few branches! "
When Luo Qingfeng heard this, he couldn't help but look at Xia Ruofei.
He had a kind of blind confidence in Xia Ruofei. He felt that since Xia Ruofei asked for the branches, he must have a way to breed the wild tea successfully!
Luo Qingfeng thought that if the wild tea tree could be bred and there was a fixed amount of wild tea produced every year, the effect on the overall strength of the entire sect would be immeasurable.
If there was enough wild tea, it was basically equivalent to the cultivation of all the Qi Refining cultivators in the sect directly increasing by one level.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "I still have to thank Brother Chen. If I'm lucky enough to breed the wild tea tree, I'll definitely treat Brother Chen to a drink!"
"Haha!" Chen Xuan said with a smile, "Then I'll be waiting for Brother Xia's good news!"
Putting aside the effect of promoting one's cultivation, the taste of the wild tea itself was quite good.
Everyone chatted as they drank the tea, and time passed very quickly.
Before they knew it, the flying boat had approached the Star Picking Sect.
The Tianyi Palace disciple controlling the flying ship turned around and said, "Young Sect Master, the Star Picking Sect is not far ahead!"
Chen Xuan nodded. "Let's land the airship outside the Star Picking Sect! Find a secluded place and don't disturb ordinary people. "
"Yes! Young Sect Master! "The disciple controlling the flying boat said.
In fact, Chen Xuan did this out of consideration for Xia Ruofei. If they were all Golden Core Stage Cultivators, then there was no need for the flying boat to descend to the ground. They could just fly away on their flying swords.
However, Chen Xuan had always mistakenly believed that Xia Ruofei was only at the Qi Refining stage. If he let the Jade Water Flying Boat hover in the air, when everyone left, Xia Ruofei would definitely be carried by a Gold Core stage cultivator. This would more or less hurt his self-esteem.
Chen Xuan's way of dealing with people was indeed reflected in every detail.
Luo Qingfeng said, "Young Sect Master Chen, why don't we go to the sect together? Although our Star Picking Sect doesn't have the best tea like wild tea, we still have a few pots of good wine. "
Chen Xuan smiled gently and said, "Thank you for your kind invitation, Sect Master Luo. However, I do have an urgent matter to attend to and need to return to the Tianyi Palace immediately. This time, I'm just sending Little Brother Xia off. If there's a chance next time, I'll definitely pay a visit!"
In fact, everyone knew that Chen Xuan had won the Five Saints Token this time. Although most forces would be intimidated by the reputation of the Tianyi Palace and Chen Nanfeng and wouldn't dare to do anything, they could absolutely rule out the possibility that a few people would take risks for the sake of benefits. Therefore, Chen Xuan naturally wouldn't wander around outside for no reason. It would be safest for him to return to the sect as soon as possible.
"Alright then!" Luo Qingfeng said, "The next time Young Sect Master Chen comes, I'll definitely welcome you with open arms!"
Luo Qingfeng drank the wild tea of the Tianyi Palace. Although it was because of Xia Ruofei, in a sense, he also owed the Tianyi Palace a favor. Therefore, his attitude towards Chen Xuan was better than before.
"Definitely!" Chen Xuan said with a smile.
As they spoke, the Aquamarine Ark had already landed in a valley near the Star Picking Sect. After the ark trembled slightly, the Tianyi Palace disciple who was controlling the ark turned around and said, "Young Sect Master, the ark has landed! Seniors, you can disembark now! "
Chen Xuan nodded slightly, then personally sent Xia Ruofei, Mu Sheng, and the others off the ark. He also jumped down.
Chen Xuan said to Xia Ruofei, "Brother Xia, once you're done here, go to the Tianyi Palace to find me as soon as possible!"
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "No problem!"
Chen Xuan said with a smile, "Don't forget that we still owe you 110,000 Spirit Stones! If we delay for too long, we can't rule out the possibility that we won't pay up! "
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Money is just a worldly possession. If Brother Chen likes Spirit Stones, you can keep them for your own use. I don't care."
Chen Xuan laughed and said, "Brother Xia, you're so generous! However, how can the Tianyi Palace be the kind of people to go back on their words? I'm just joking! "
After that, Chen Xuan said to Luo Qingfeng and Mu Sheng, "Sect Master Mu, Sect Master Luo, I'll take my leave first!"
After that, Chen Xuan cupped his hands at everyone and jumped back into the ark.
Everyone watched the Blue Water Ark fly away. Then, Mu Sheng laughed and said, "Sect Master Luo, shall we fly back directly on our swords?"
Luo Qingfeng looked at Xia Ruofei and made a judgment in his heart. Then, he said, "Why don't we walk up the mountain? We're not far from the mountain gate, and the scenery along the way is pretty good! "
In fact, how could there be any beautiful scenery at night? Even if cultivators had better eyesight than ordinary people, they wouldn't go to the mountains to enjoy the scenery at night.
Mu Sheng was well aware of it, or rather, he thought he was well aware of it. He smiled and said, "Alright! Fei 'er is so heavy. I'll be exhausted to death if I carry him on the sword … "
Mu Jianfei turned his face away with a wry smile. He thought to himself, "Sect Master Luo is obviously worried about Fellow Daoist Xia's feelings. Why are you talking about me instead? Is there any justice in this world? "
But then he thought about it. In this group of people, only he and Xia Ruofei were Aura Refining cultivators — this was naturally what he thought. Xia Ruofei's identity seemed to be somewhat special, so he could only talk about him. There was no other choice!
The group of people walked in the direction of the Star Picking Sect's mountain gate.
In fact, this area wasn't completely uninhabited. The stone path leading to the mountain was quite easy to walk on. Although no one would come on this path at night, there were still some mountain people who would go there to chop firewood or gather medicinal herbs during the day.
Of course, the Star Picking Sect was hidden deep in the mountains and concealed by a sect-protecting formation. It was impossible for ordinary people to discover it, and they wouldn't even have the chance to enter by mistake.
If someone really did fall into the formation, they would only keep going in circles. In the end, they would even faint from breathing in the fog.
Then, the Star Picking Sect disciples in charge of maintaining the formation would bring the unconscious mountain people to the foot of the mountain. After waking them up, they would quickly leave.
From the perspective of these mountain people, it was natural that they fell into a "ghost wall" and appeared at the foot of the mountain when they woke up. This was the origin of some of the supernatural legends in this area.
After all, there would be one or two cases of ordinary people accidentally entering the sect-protecting formation every year.
Luo Qingfeng led everyone up the mountain path with ease. This group of people were all cultivators. Even the weakest among them, Mu Jianfei, who was also injured, could walk on this kind of terrain as if it were flat ground. Therefore, their speed was also very fast.
After a while, Luo Qingfeng led everyone to the bottom of a cliff.
He casually made a few hand seals and imprinted them on the cliff. A part of the cliff that was covered in vines slowly became transparent, revealing a passageway about the height of two people.
The Star Picking Sect disciple guarding the mountain gate appeared at the passageway in a flash. When he saw that the leader was Luo Qingfeng, he hurriedly bowed and called out, "Sect Master!"
Luo Qingfeng nodded calmly and casually ordered, "Be careful. Stay alert."
"Yes, Sect Master!" Sect Master! "The Star Picking Sect disciple replied.
"Sect Master Mu, please come in!" Luo Qingfeng greeted him with a smile.
It was also the first time that Xia Ruofei had come to the Star Picking Sect. He followed Luo Qingfeng into the passageway and looked around curiously.
This passageway was not very long, about 20 meters or so. After passing through the passageway, Xia Ruofei saw a valley. Many antique buildings were built according to the terrain, layer upon layer, which was very spectacular.
These buildings were mainly concentrated on the side of the mountain that was relatively gentle. From the bottom to the top, there were buildings of various sizes. Among them, the most eye-catching one was naturally a ten-story tall building at the top.
This tall building was also made of pure wood. From afar, one could only vaguely see a black silhouette in the night sky, but it was still very spectacular.
The dangerous building was a hundred feet high, and one could reach out to pick the stars.
When Xia Ruofei saw the tall building, he couldn't help but think of these two lines of a poem.
He wondered if this was the origin of the Star Picking Sect's name …
Luo Qingfeng was very familiar with the place. He led everyone through the sect.
Although it was already late at night, there were still disciples on routine patrol in the sect. There were also some low-level disciples who were still persistently cultivating.
When they met Luo Qingfeng and the others, they hurriedly stepped aside and bowed to greet them.
Luo Qingfeng just nodded reservedly as a greeting.
This was the first time that Xia Ruofei saw Luo Qingfeng's imposing manner — Luo Qingfeng had always regarded himself as an Old Slave in front of him. But after returning to the sect, Luo Qingfeng became the head of the sect, whose words carried enormous weight.
He could even decide life and death with a single word. After all, the cultivation world was almost unrestrained by secular laws. In the Star Picking Sect, he, as the head of the sect, was the absolute king.
Soon, Luo Qingfeng led Xia Ruofei and the others to the front of the tall building at the highest point.
Xia Ruofei raised his head to take a look. On the front of the first floor of the building, there was an antique plaque with the words "Star Plucking Tower" written on it. These three words looked very imposing, as if there was an invisible aura emanating from it. Even a Golden Core cultivator like Xia Ruofei could not help but feel a little shaken.
Luo Qingfeng seemed to have noticed Xia Ruofei's strange behavior. He thought for a moment and said to Mu Sheng with a smile, "Head Mu, this is the most important building in our sect, the Star Picking Tower. The three words on this plaque were handwritten by a Nascent Soul Stage ancestor of the Star Picking Sect 500 years ago. Although 500 years have passed, they are still very imposing! "
Luo Qingfeng's words were naturally to introduce them to Xia Ruofei. However, since Mu Sheng and the others were present, he couldn't directly introduce them to Xia Ruofei. After all, in front of outsiders, Xia Ruofei was Luo Qingfeng's Shidi. How could he not know about the internal buildings of the Star Picking Sect?
Mu Sheng also felt a little shocked and said, "These three words are indeed very imposing. Is this the power of a Nascent Soul Stage ancestor? Just the words he left behind are enough to shock people. The Nascent Soul Stage … is truly fascinating! "
Luo Qingfeng sighed and said, "Since the cultivation environment deteriorated, the Nascent Soul Stage ancestors of the previous generation of the Star Picking Sect have all disappeared. The situation is similar to that of most sects. It's extremely difficult to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage now!"
As a veteran Jindan Stage cultivator, Mu Sheng naturally felt the same way. He sighed and said, "Yes! Could it be that the path of cultivation had really been blocked? There is always a way out, but how can cultivators walk into a dead end where they can't move forward at all? "
Seeing the handwriting of the three Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, Mu Sheng couldn't help but feel a myriad of emotions.
The truth was that cultivators had been struggling to make any progress in recent years. Young Qi Condensation Stage cultivators might not feel it so deeply. After all, if they had the support of a sect, the basic cultivation resources could still be guaranteed. However, once they entered the Aurous Core Stage, the resources required would increase tenfold or even hundredfold, and the efficiency of cultivation would decrease by a large margin. It was simply too difficult to make progress in cultivation.
Even Chen Nanfeng, who was recognized by everyone as the closest to the Nascent Soul Stage, actually knew very well that Chen Nanfeng's chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage were less than one percent.
Therefore, Mu Sheng actually understood why Chen Nanfeng wanted to get the second Five Sages Token at all costs.
After all, for Chen Nanfeng, the legend of the mysterious Five Sages Token might be the last opportunity for him to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage. Otherwise, he could only wait for his lifespan to run out and die unwillingly.
Luo Qingfeng said, "Sect Leader Mu, the situation in the cultivation world was not created in a day or two. The only thing we can do is to explore as much as possible on the path of cultivation. Even if we can't make it through, at least we can pave a way for the younger disciples."
Mu Sheng was stunned for a moment. Then, he said with a smile, "I was too obsessed! Sect Leader Luo's words have woken me up! It seems that I still have to cultivate my temperament! "
Luo Qingfeng said with a smile, "Sect Leader Mu, you're being too serious. You were affected by the handwriting of your ancestors, and your mind was a little shaken. I've seen these handwriting countless times, so I naturally won't be affected … Sect Leader Mu, the three of you can rest on the first floor of the Star Picking Tower tonight. If you don't have anything else to do this time, you can stay in our Star Picking Sect for a few more days."
Mu Sheng said with a smile, "Our sect also has a lot of things to do! This time, I came to disturb Sect Leader Luo in order to wait for Brother Xia's Fiery Cloud Pill. Now that I've got the Fiery Cloud Pill, I'll take my leave and go back to the sect! "
After that, Mu Sheng said sincerely to Xia Ruofei, "Brother Xia, I'll leave the Fiery Cloud Pill to you!"
