Luo Qingfeng said in a trembling voice, "Master, this Old Slave is incompetent. There are so many spies in the sect, but this Old Slave didn't realize it at all …"
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this now. Fortunately, there weren't any major losses. If even core secrets such as the blueprint of the sect-protecting formation were leaked, the Star-Picking Sect would be in grave danger! It's never too late to mend the pen after the sheep have been lost. Since we've found out, we should get rid of them as soon as possible! "
"Yes! This Old Slave obeys Master's orders! "Luo Qingfeng said hurriedly.
He was also terrified. If Xia Ruofei hadn't come to the Star-Picking Sect this time and conducted a comprehensive screening of all the disciples, he really wouldn't have known anything. Especially since the spies had successfully infiltrated Zhai Xing Lou, the danger was too great.
He himself was living in Zhai Xing Lou, and there were actually enemy spies in his bed.
Although a Golden Core stage cultivator couldn't be plotted against under normal circumstances, there was no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days. What if the enemy used some strange poison to harm him? Or took advantage of the critical moment when he was in closed-door cultivation to suddenly risk his life? If he was careless, there was a real possibility that he would fail miserably at such an easy task.
Even if his own safety wasn't a big problem, there were too many secrets in Zhai Xing Lou. If any of them were leaked, it would cause endless harm to the Star-Picking Sect.
It could be said that all the disciples who were selected to enter Zhai Xing Lou were all disciples that Luo Qingfeng had personally inspected and found to be quite reliable.
Even so, there was still a spy who had infiltrated.
Luo Qingfeng couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Xia Ruofei casually picked up a piece of paper from the table and handed it to Luo Qingfeng. He said indifferently, "The Elder who wants to replace you every day and the list of five spies are all here. You can deal with them as you see fit! In addition, among these disciples, there are some who have a strong sense of belonging to the sect and are dead set on you. I have also listed some of them. They should be the most reliable. If these people's talent is not bad, you can use them appropriately! "
Luo Qingfeng was deeply moved. Tears welled up in his eyes as he received the list with trembling hands. With a plop, he knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Old Slave, this Old Slave thanks Master for giving the Star Picking Sect a new lease on life!"
"Get up!" Xia Ruofei said faintly, "It seems that this internal investigation is still very important. Arrange for the disciples outside to come back for inspection as soon as possible. Make sure that there are no hidden dangers!"
"Yes! The Old Slave has arranged a temporary rotation of people. Within seven days, all the people outside will return to the Sect! "Luo Qingfeng said.
Xia Ruofei said, "I can't wait that long, I have to go back to Peach Blossom Island first! Once I've dealt with these matters, I'll return to the Star Plucking Sect to screen the remaining disciples! "
"Yes! Master! "Luo Qingfeng bowed his head and said.
He did not look at the paper in his hand. Since Xia Ruofei had provided the list, the five spies could only meet one end. They could not escape. As for the ambitious Elder, he did not intend to keep him around. Regardless of whether he was in the ninth or eighth level of Qi Refining, as long as he had not broken through to the Golden Core stage, he was no different from an ant in his eyes. Losing a Qi Refining Elder was nothing to the Star Plucking Sect.
Xia Ruofei had helped the Star Plucking Sect modify the sect's great protective formation. Very soon, the cultivation environment of the Star Plucking Sect would undergo earth-shattering changes. Furthermore, Xia Ruofei had also given him a method to cultivate psychic power. As a result, the Qi Refining Cultivators of the Star Plucking Sect would improve very quickly.
At that time, there would be even more high level Qi Refining Cultivators, and even Golden Core Cultivators.
Under these circumstances, Luo Qingfeng naturally did not care about a high level Qi Refining Elder.
Luo Qingfeng tightly clenched the paper and said respectfully, "Master, even if you're leaving, you should rest for a day or two first. You've been so busy with the Star Plucking Sect these past few days that you haven't stopped to rest. This Old Slave feels very uneasy! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "It's alright. Resting on the way is the same."
Luo Qingfeng was slightly taken aback. He did not know that Xia Ruofei had already obtained a flying boat, one that was even more advanced than Chen Xuan's. He naturally thought that Xia Ruofei was flying back to Peach Blossom Island on his sword. Flying on a sword consumed a lot of energy, so how could he rest on the way?
However, Luo Qingfeng did not dare to ask too much. Since Xia Ruofei had decided, he could only obey unconditionally.
Xia Ruofei then took out a stack of papers that he had prepared beforehand and said indifferently, "These are for you. Make good use of them! In the future, the Star Plucking Sect's cultivation environment will not be inferior to that of other top sects. Before the Star Plucking Sect has a second Golden Core Cultivator, you will most likely have to oversee the sect most of the time. If there are any issues, I will naturally inform you. For the rest of your time, work hard to improve your strength and protect the sect! "
"Yes! Master! " Luo Qingfeng respectfully replied. Then, he curiously looked at the stack of papers in Xia Ruofei's hands and asked, "Master, this is …"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "This is the method to control the Star Plucking Formation after it was modified. It is somewhat different from before, but the changes are not big. Take a look and you should be able to quickly familiarize yourself with it. This is the content of the second volume of the 'Linlang Truth'. The first volume is more suitable for Qi Refining Cultivators. You are already at the Golden Core Stage, so after mastering the first volume, you should focus on the second volume. These are all cultivation methods and battle skills. I have extracted the ones that are suitable for Qi Refining Cultivators. You can teach them to talented and loyal disciples depending on the situation. Hmm … there are also a few that are suitable for Qi Refining Cultivators. You can learn them yourself when you have the time. You don't have to be proficient in them, but they can be used as a reference …"
Before Xia Ruofei could finish, the red-eyed Luo Qingfeng knelt on the ground and said in a choked voice, "Master, this Old Slave is unworthy of Master's love and care …"
"Get up!" Xia Ruofei said, "These are not all for you. Many of them are to improve the overall strength of the Star Plucking Sect. The stronger the Star Plucking Sect is, the more help it will be to me!"
In fact, apart from the 'Linlang Truth', most of these cultivation methods were obtained from the nested space of Layman Yuntai. However, Xia Ruofei had taken some time to go into the space and make a copy of them. He had originally kept them for himself.
Luo Qingfeng stood up and said firmly, "Master, this Old Slave will definitely look after the Star Plucking Sect for Master's sake! I will do my best to improve the Star Plucking Sect's strength. When Master needs it, just say the word and the entire Star Plucking Sect will go through fire and water … "
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and interrupted Luo Qingfeng's words. He smiled and said, "I definitely won't let my people go through fire and water. You've been by my side for a while now, don't you know this? Qingfeng, don't think too much. Just focus on developing the Star Plucking Sect. That will be the greatest help you can give me! Of course, I will contact you if I need anything. In the future, when you have trained enough disciples to take charge of the Star Plucking Sect, you can go to Peach Blossom Island to cultivate for a while. After all, the environment there is much better. "
"Yes! This Old Slave understands! "Luo Qingfeng said excitedly," Thank you, Master! "
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Oh right, I almost forgot. There's also this …"
After that, Xia Ruofei took out a big bag from the Space and placed it on the table with a clatter.
The bag wasn't fastened tightly, and a spirit stone fell out of it.
Luo Qingfeng's eyelids twitched when he saw this. He walked up to the bag and opened it to find that it was full of Spirit Stones. There were at least 50,000 to 60,000 Spirit Stones. He couldn't help but be stunned.
Soon, Luo Qingfeng understood Xia Ruofei's intention. He hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Master, you can't accept this! You've already done too much for the Old Slave and the Star Plucking Sect! I definitely don't dare to accept these Spirit Stones … "
Luo Qingfeng didn't know that Xia Ruofei had made a fortune from the embedded space in the Storage Ring. He knew that Xia Ruofei had spent a lot of Spirit Stones to buy the Storage Ring and the mysterious ore. Later, he had lent a large number of Spirit Stones to Chen Xuan. Therefore, he judged that Xia Ruofei didn't have many Spirit Stones on him.
Under such circumstances, how could he dare to accept the 50,000 to 60,000 Spirit Stones that Xia Ruofei had given him?
Xia Ruofei didn't think much of it and said, "Just take it. These spirit stones aren't just useful for cultivation. More importantly, they can be used as currency in the cultivation world. If you want to develop your sect, you'll need them in many places. I still have a lot of Spirit Stones, and these are only a small part of it. Just accept them! "
Luo Qingfeng didn't believe him. He knew that before the auction, Xia Ruofei didn't even know what Spirit Stones were. In order to raise enough Spirit Stones to buy the Storage Ring, Xia Ruofei had temporarily refined Qi-gathering Pills and sent them to the auction.
After the auction, Luo Qingfeng had almost never left Xia Ruofei's side. Where could Xia Ruofei find more Spirit Stones?
Therefore, Luo Qingfeng thought that this was a white lie by Xia Ruofei to make him feel at ease.
However, because of this misunderstanding, Luo Qingfeng was even more moved and became even more loyal to Xia Ruofei.
"This …" Luo Qingfeng showed a difficult expression.
Xia Ruofei's face couldn't help but darken. He frowned and said, "What? Don't my words have any effect? "
Luo Qingfeng hurriedly lowered his head and said, "I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare! Master, how could this Old Slave dare to disobey your orders? "
"Then accept it!" Xia Ruofei said in an indisputable tone, "And this, it's specially for you. You have to cultivate well even if you stay in the Star Picking Sect. You're still too weak!"
Luo Qingfeng looked up and saw that Xia Ruofei was holding a Crystal in his hand. He was scared out of his wits.
Not to mention the crystal, even the spirit crystal was an incredible treasure in Luo Qingfeng's eyes. Now, Xia Ruofei actually gave him a crystal with such pure energy? He couldn't believe his eyes.
In fact, he didn't know that Xia Ruofei had obtained at least hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones, thousands of Spirit Crystals, and thousands of Crystal Crystals from the nested spaces left by Yuntai Hermit.
Therefore, to Xia Ruofei, taking out 50,000 Spirit Stones to develop the Star Picking Sect and giving Luo Qingfeng a Crystal Crystal wasn't a big expense.
After all, Luo Qingfeng was absolutely loyal to him. A Crystal Crystal was a necessary investment to make Luo Qingfeng stronger. To Xia Ruofei, this was a sure win.
Xia Ruofei saw that Luo Qingfeng was in a daze and didn't speak for a long time. He couldn't help but frown and stuffed the Crystal Crystal into Luo Qingfeng's hand. Then he said, "Put these away! I have to go! You can call me if there's an emergency! "
Xia Ruofei was able to use her cell phone normally on Peach Blossom Island. Previously, there was no cell phone signal in the Star Picking Sect, but later on, a signal tower was installed on a nearby mountain. This way, cell phones could be used normally in most places in the Star Picking Sect.
Speaking of which, this was all thanks to Wang Boshan. When he was in charge of the Sect's secular affairs, he coordinated with the others and built two base stations in the wilderness.
Luo Qingfeng came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Yes! Master, this Crystal Crystal … "
This time, he didn't dare to refuse directly. However, his hesitation was still obvious.
Xia Ruofei said indifferently, "Since I'm giving it to you, take it. When have you ever seen me take back something I've given away?"
"… Yes!" Luo Qingfeng said, "This Old Slave thanks Master!"
After saying that, Luo Qingfeng no longer acted pretentiously. He directly put away the crystals, Spiritual Stones, and the handwritten copies of cultivation methods that Xia Ruofei had given him into his Storage Ring. Then, he bowed to Xia Ruofei.
He didn't say much. As the saying goes, great kindness can't be thanked with words. At this time, saying too many words of thanks would be useless. He just needed to see what he did in the future.
After a long time, Luo Qingfeng straightened up and said, "Master, I'll give this Old Slave to you!"
"En!" Xia Ruofei nodded and said.
The matters at the Star Plucking Sect had basically been completed. The foundation that needed to be laid had been laid, and many cultivation resources had been bestowed. It was time for Xia Ruofei to return to Peach Blossom Island.
At this moment, Xia Ruofei was anxious to return home.
Luo Qingfeng accompanied Xia Ruofei to the top floor of the Star Picking Tower. Then, the two jumped onto the roof. In fact, it was Xia Ruofei who jumped onto the roof first. Luo Qingfeng didn't know what was going on, but he still followed.
This was because if it was just flying on a sword, the cultivator would directly release the flying sword and then jump out of the window, step on the flying sword, and fly away.
This was the highest point in the entire Star Plucking Sect. Standing on the ridge of the roof, one could see a series of antique buildings scattered in picturesque disorder within the misty valley. The concentration of spiritual energy in the air was still increasing at a steady rate.
Xia Ruofei looked back at this beautiful fairyland-like scenery. Then, he said to Luo Qingfeng, "Qingfeng, look at everything in front of you. Isn't it very beautiful? This is not only a force that I, Xia Ruofei, cultivated, but also the foundation of your survival. You have to protect this foundation well! "
Luo Qingfeng also said seriously, "Yes! Master! This Old Slave will definitely remember Master's teachings! "
Xia Ruofei nodded and didn't say anything else. He simply said, "I'm leaving!"
Then, Luo Qingfeng saw Xia Ruofei flip his hand. A small and exquisite black flying boat appeared in his palm.
Then, Xia Ruofei threw the flying boat out. This black flying boat expanded in the wind. In the blink of an eye, it became more than twenty meters long. Its whole body was matte black, and the boat had distinct edges and corners. It gave off a futuristic feeling …
