When Wen Ningzhi had received the Disciplinary Elder's summons, he had still thought that it was because of Yan Zhaoge.
When he arrived at Overlooking Abyss City and found out that he was going to be interrogated, he was dumbfounded.
No matter how hard he racked his brains, he still couldn't understand why he had to be investigated.
When he understood what was going on, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Although it was only a temporary dismissal, after this incident, even if Wen Ningzhi passed the investigation, it would be difficult for him to return to the Spirit Wind Valley. Being able to be transferred to another place as a deacon was already the best outcome for him.
If Yan Zhaoge's second apprentice-uncle's faction wanted to compete for the position of Acting Elder of the Spirit Wind Canyon, they could only use other people. Also, having lost the upper hand due to Wen Ningzhi, it would be very hard for them to compete with Yan Zhaoge's faction again.
Even if she still trusted him, it was inevitable that she would be labeled as incompetent.
The originally smooth sailing Wen Ningzhi who had a clear upward momentum suddenly became gloomy.
"Yan! Zhao! Sing! "
Wen Ningzhi wanted to roar, but when he opened his mouth, no sound came out. Instead, he felt a sweetness in his throat, as if he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood.
…
"Young Master, in a short period of time, the two Elder Deacons have fallen because of you."
Hearing Ah Hu's words, Yan Zhaoge shrugged, saying nonchalantly, "I think that second apprentice-uncle's side will gradually start paying more attention to me, not treating me as a child anymore."
"It's a good thing and a bad thing at the same time. Being targeted by Second Martial Uncle is naturally not a good thing. However, in the future, if some despicable people want to touch me, they should think twice before acting."
With Wen Ningzhi's situation already a foregone conclusion, Yan Zhaoge no longer paid any attention to it. Instead, he was more interested in his own gains this time.
As for Yan Zhaoge's punishment, he was to spend a period of time behind closed doors to reflect on his mistakes. Afterwards, he would take the lead in the investigation of the abnormalities in the Sealing Dragon Abyss.
This was nothing much to Yan Zhaoge. Secluded meditation days were spent cultivating in the martial dao.
He had originally planned to enter the Dragon Sealing Abyss again to cultivate the Heavenly Abyss Countercurrent Technique with the help of the chaotic Baleful Qi.
Compared to the insignificant punishment, the reward was much more generous.
Finding a way to further upgrade the Internal Crystal Furnace would be rewarded with one of the sect's most precious pills, the Profound Spirit Pill.
"Young Master, of the various medicinal pills that Broad Creed Mountain currently possesses, the best would naturally still be the Broad Creed Immortal Pill. However, going further down the list, the Profound Spirit Pill would be one of the best." Ah Hu chuckled, "They are exceptionally precious, and not easy to concoct. In the entire Broad Creed Mountain, the number of Profound Spirit Pills available is also extremely limited."
Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly, "The key is that it is perfectly suited for use."
He had a pill recipe for a better quality pill than the Profound Spirit Pill, but it was difficult to refine it, especially since many of the raw materials still needed to be collected.
To the current Yan Zhaoge, the Profound Spirit Pill could be considered a very good reward, being able to help martial experts refine their aura-qi a step further.
Now that Yan Zhaoge had reached the peak of the late inner aura stage, the early outer aura stage was already beckoning to him.
In the early stage of physical invulnerability, one could release their Stellar Energy externally. In the middle stage of physical invulnerability, one could condense their Stellar Energy into something real. They could control their Qi within a hundred steps and train their Qi to take form.
In order to advance from the early stage of physical invulnerability to the middle stage of physical invulnerability, a martial artist had to further condense their own Gang Qi. This was a very crucial step.
It could be said that this was precisely the most suitable pill for Yan Zhaoge to consume now.
For the clan to give out this reward, they had obviously taken this into consideration, and had not made a blind decision.
Of course, refining one's own Gang Qi was not only helpful in advancing from the early stage to the middle stage of physical invulnerability, but would also be beneficial in future cultivation.
Ah Hu gave a simple and honest smile, "But with Young Master's talent, even without the Profound Spirit Pill, breaking through from the early stage to the middle stage of physical invulnerability would be as easy as lifting a finger."
"If I had to say, this second reward is still better ah!"
After defeating Chao Yuanlong, Yan Zhaoge's reward was to be able to enter the third level of the clan's Martial Repository once after returning to the Broad Creed Mountain.
Within the Martial Repository, there were all sorts of top-notch martial arts manuals of Broad Creed Mountain's lineage recorded within.
Generally speaking, new disciples could not enter the Martial Repository, but if they occasionally obtained a large reward, they could enter the first level.
Elite disciples could freely enter the first level, and if they occasionally obtained a large reward, they could enter the second level.
Core, direct disciples like Yan Zhaoge could freely enter the first and second levels, and if they occasionally obtained a large reward, they could enter the third level.
Although Yan Zhaoge knew the contents of the various supreme martial arts stored within the Divine Palace before the Great Calamity, as a disciple of Broad Creed Mountain, and also the face of the younger generation, cultivating in Broad Creed Mountain's supreme martial arts was also a must.
Moreover, after the Great Calamity, while the various Sacred Grounds had inherited the legacies of their predecessors, they also had their own unique and innovative ideas.
Yan Zhaoge combining the two and corroborating them would also be more beneficial for him in researching the Divine Palace.
As long as he grasped the scale and allocated his time well, his gains would only be greater.
However, this reward would have to wait until Yan Zhaoge had returned to the Mountain, unlike the Profound Spirit Pill, which had already been delivered to Yan Zhaoge in Overlooking Abyss City.
Yan Zhaoge snapped his fingers, "Actually, the third reward is the best."
Unearthing the secrets of the Cloud-Veined Stones and finding a way to obtain a large amount of Jade Essence for the clan, the reward was not something tangible, but rather a special privilege.
While Yan Zhaoge was active within the East Heaven Region, if anything happened, he would be directly responsible to the East Heaven Region Elder.
Yan Zhaoge, on the contrary, liked this reward even more than the Profound Spirit Pill and the chance to enter the third level of the Martial Repository.
Ah Hu chuckled, "This way, whatever Young Master wants to do in the Eastern Tang Kingdom, that old fella Yan Xu will not be able to obstruct you. Whatever you want to do, you also won't need to inform him."
Yan Zhaoge said, "That's not entirely true. After all, he is in charge of the Eastern Tang; if he wants to trip me up, it would still be very easy. Moving him won't be as easy as moving against Old Man Cui or Wen Ningzhi."
Ah Hu smiled, "That Elder Xu is indeed a sensible person. After coming out, he told me that if Young Master has any needs, he could just instruct me, and he would prioritize the resources stored in the Spirit Wind Canyon and Overlooking Abyss City to supply them to Young Master."
Yan Zhaoge nodded. He still had to stay in the Sealing Dragon Abyss for quite some time. With his own people by his side, it would undoubtedly be much more convenient.
"However, even if Yan Xu doesn't deal with me for the time being, he will still keep an eye on Xu Chuan."
With Wen Ningzhi having made a mistake, Yan Xu's momentum had been temporarily suppressed by Yan Zhaoge and the King of the Eastern Tang Kingdom. If he were to choose someone from their faction, Yan Zhaoge and the King would definitely not agree.
However, if he were to choose someone from Old Man Yan's faction, as soon as he took the position, it was very likely that his temporary position would become permanent.
Xu Chuan, on the other hand, was different. He belonged to Old Man Yan's faction, but had not yet resigned from his position as Overlooking Abyss City's Acting Elder.
Yan Xu had not chosen someone from elsewhere, instead allowing Xu Chuan to hold both the positions of Overlooking Abyss City and the Spirit Wind Canyon. Instead, he had achieved the effect of retreating in order to advance. When the clan officially decided on the person to be in charge of the Spirit Wind Canyon, there would be even more opportunities for him.
At the same time, with the strange happenings in the Sealing Dragon Abyss and the changes in the Spirit Wind Canyon, with Xu Chuan holding two positions, the burden would be even greater, and the pressure would be even heavier.
