210: The Heavenly Secrets Sect, as clear as a god

"Senior, I'll give it."

Gu Qian gritted his teeth and agreed. The Holy War was imminent, and to quickly increase his Cultivation Level, he needed the spirit thunder.

Jiang Yunfan shot a triumphant look at Heavenly Secret Master, who was beside him, and sent a voice transmission: "See? I can earn one hundred million spirit stones with just a casual divination. If you were willing to come out, even more people would seek you out, and you could earn tens of billions a day."

"Aren't you afraid of shortening your lifespan and losing luck by revealing so many Heavenly Secrets?"

"I'm young, I'm not afraid."

Jiang Yunfan thought to himself, I haven't revealed any Heavenly Secrets. This information was obtained through my cheat System, so there's no such thing as shortening my lifespan or losing luck.

"I advise you not to reveal too many Heavenly Secrets, or you will regret it later. Once you become the Sect Master of Tianji Sect, you won't lack resources, so there's no need to reveal Heavenly Secrets for Spirit Stones."

"Alright, I understand."

Jiang Yunfan was getting a bit impatient. This old man was so nagging; it was annoying him to death.

"Senior, I don't have one hundred million spirit stones on me, only about twenty million. Can I use other treasures as collateral?"

"Of course you can."

Gu Qian took out twenty million Spirit Stones and some Spiritual Artifacts and Heaven And Earth Treasures, making up roughly one hundred million spirit stones.

After collecting the Spirit Stones and treasures, Jiang Yunfan then pretended to perform a divination.

"System, give me the whereabouts of the spirit thunder."

["Today's Intelligence (cyan): There is spirit thunder in the Grand Canyon of Zijin Mountain in Zhongzhou (map has been transmitted)"]

"I've divined it. The spirit thunder is in the Grand Canyon of Zijin Mountain. As for where Zijin Mountain is, you'll have to find it yourself. Of course, if you're willing to give me another one hundred million spirit stones, I can tell you the location of Zijin Mountain."

"Senior, I've already given you all the Spirit Stones and treasures I have. I can't possibly produce another one hundred million spirit stones. Senior, I bid you farewell."

Gu Qian left.

Heavenly Secret Master said, "Come with me!"

Jiang Yunfan said, "No rush, I still have something to do. You wait here for a bit!"

He instantly vanished.

Then he reappeared in the residence.

Ouyang Ye was still refining weapons.

Jiang Yunfan had given him so many Artifact Refining Materials that Ouyang Ye hadn't used them all up even after more than a month of refining.

The Clone came with the refined spirit armor. He took out a storage ring. "Main body, all the weapons refined during this period are here."

Jiang Yunfan took the storage ring and saw more than a dozen Peerless Grade spirit armors, all refined from the hide of the Black Water Profound Serpent. The Black Water Profound Serpent hide was already extremely strong in defense without refining, and after being refined by Ouyang Ye, a Seventh Grade Artifact Refiner, its quality directly rose to Peerless Grade.

Peerless Grade defensive Spiritual Artifacts were quite valuable; one piece alone was worth several hundred million Spirit Stones.

If it were in the resource-scarce Eastern Continent, a single Peerless Grade Spiritual Artifact could become the sect-protecting treasure of a Holy Land, selling for over a billion Spirit Stones without a problem.

In addition to these dozen or so Peerless Grade spirit armors, there were also more than twenty High Grade Spiritual Artifacts and three Peerless Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

These Spiritual Artifacts combined would be worth tens of billions of Spirit Stones.

In the past, tens of billions of Spirit Stones would have excited him, but now, with his net worth in the hundreds of billions—no, trillions, since he had plundered the Fire Clan's treasury—even the accumulated wealth of a Holy Land couldn't compare to his.

Tens of billions of Spirit Stones were no longer a big deal to him.

"System, give me the whereabouts of the purple gold."

["Today's Intelligence (cyan): purple gold is in Zijin Mountain. There is a million-year-old gold mine underground in Zijin Mountain, and a piece of purple gold has been nurtured within the gold mine (map has been transmitted)"]

Zijin Mountain.

Jiang Yunfan was startled.

The spirit thunder was also in Zijin Mountain.

It seems this Zijin Mountain is a treasure mountain!

"Great Master Ouyang, there's no need to refine the remaining Artifact Refining Materials."

"It's time to tell me the whereabouts of the purple gold."

"I had already divined the whereabouts of the purple gold. The purple gold is in a place called Zijin Mountain in Zhongzhou. There is a million-year-old gold mine underground in Zijin Mountain, and a piece of purple gold has been nurtured within the gold mine."

Ouyang Ye immediately left to search for the purple gold.

Jiang Yunfan tidied up and returned to Tianji Pavilion.

"All the trivial matters have been handled."

"They're handled, let's go!"

Heavenly Secret Master and Jiang Yunfan left Tianji Pavilion.

Heavenly Secret Master's Cultivation Level was profound, and it wasn't long before he brought Jiang Yunfan to Yujing Mountain.

"We're here."

"This is Yujing Mountain, truly a Holy Land for cultivation."

"Yujing Mountain is a blessed land, nurturing three supreme Spiritual Veins and eight High Grade Spiritual Veins. The Spiritual Qi is dense, comparable to that of an Immortal Holy Land. My Tianji Sect doesn't have many Disciples, so the resources are inexhaustible."

Inexhaustible.

That was in the past.

Now that I'm here, the little bit of family fortune your Tianji Sect has accumulated over millions of years is about to be squandered by me.

When you find out later, I wonder if you'll regret today's decision.

I think you will!

Too bad it will be too late then.

Hehehe.

At this moment, Hundred Knowledge Scholar and his Senior Brother Liao Rushen arrived.

"Disciple greets Master."

Hundred Knowledge Scholar looked at Jiang Yunfan. Jiang Yunfan had returned to his original appearance, and Hundred Knowledge Scholar didn't recognize him. "Master, who is he?"

Jiang Yunfan said, "Hundred Knowledge Scholar, look who I am."

He transformed into Heavenly Secret Master's appearance in a flash.

"Heavenly Secret Master, it's you."

Hundred Knowledge Scholar hadn't expected this person in front of him to be Heavenly Secret Master. How was he with Master?

Liao Rushen sized up Jiang Yunfan, thinking, Is this the Heavenly Secret Master who shares a title with Master? Why did Master bring him to Tianji Sect?

Heavenly Secret Master said, "You know Hundred Knowledge Scholar. This is my Great Disciple, Liao Rushen, who has extremely high attainments in the Dao of divination."

Liao Rushen said, "I've long heard of your great name, Heavenly Secret Master, but the title Heavenly Secret Master is not something just anyone can use. You should change your title!"

Jiang Yunfan said, "I won't change it. I'll use this title. If anyone should change, it should be your Master. After all, he's already an old man; it's time for him to step aside."

"Presumptuous."

Liao Rushen was enraged. This person was simply ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, daring to ask his Master to change his title.

Heavenly Secret Master said, "Liao Rushen, do not be disrespectful to the Sect Master."

"Sect Master."

Hundred Knowledge Scholar and Liao Rushen were both shocked.

Jiang Yunfan smiled, "That's right, your Master has already given me the position of Tianji Sect's Sect Master. From now on, I am the Sect Master of Tianji Sect. Why aren't you quickly paying your respects to me, your Sect Master?"

Liao Rushen quickly said to Heavenly Secret Master, "Master, how can you let an outsider be the Sect Master of Tianji Sect? My Junior Brother and I are your Disciples. You could choose either of us, so why did you choose an outsider to be the Sect Master?"

Hundred Knowledge Scholar was also puzzled. Why would Master let an outsider be the Sect Master of Tianji Sect?

Heavenly Secret Master said, "Both of you have high attainments in the Dao of divination. If he hadn't appeared, one of you would certainly have been the future Sect Master of Tianji Sect. But he emerged out of nowhere, and in terms of Aptitude, potential, and attainments in the Dao of divination, he surpasses both of you."

"He has already agreed to join Tianji Sect, so he is qualified to be the Sect Master of Tianji Sect. I will abdicate and become a Grand Elder."

After hearing his Master's explanation, Liao Rushen angrily said, "I will not acknowledge him as Sect Master."

Liao Rushen left Yujing Mountain in a fit of anger.

"Senior Brother."

Hundred Knowledge Scholar didn't chase after him. He knew that his Master's decisions wouldn't be easily changed. Although he couldn't become the Sect Master of Tianji Sect, he wouldn't harbor resentment and leave Tianji Sect.

He bowed to Jiang Yunfan, "Greetings, Sect Master."

Jiang Yunfan said, "You are much more sensible than your Senior Brother. When I get tired of being Sect Master, I'll pass the position on to you."
