195: Controversy surrounding the purveyor

Seeing that Night Owl and the other were hesitant, Gu Chen said unpleasantly, "Hmph, look at your lack of ambition, always relying on Elders. Why don't you just ask an Elder to go on the training journey for you?"

Hearing this, Night Owl rolled his eyes at Gu Chen and lectured him.

He certainly knew that they could request an Elder to act as a protector, but this was their training journey. If they always relied on Elders, they would never be able to grow.

Hearing Night Owl lecture Gu Chen, Mu Xueqing spoke up and asked, "Senior Brother Ye, so should we still have an Elder protect us?"

If there was no Elder to protect them, they would have to be cautious after arriving in the Central Plains.

After all, experts with higher cultivation levels than them were everywhere in the Central Plains, and there were even Great Emperor Experts.

If they didn't keep a low profile and remained as high-profile as before, they would only plunge themselves into endless danger.

Night Owl fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

Although he didn't want to request a protector, he wasn't the only one going on this training journey.

The Central Plains was so dangerous; even if he didn't consider his own safety, he had to consider Gu Chen and his companions.

Therefore, if they needed someone to protect them, they had to have someone protect them.

Furthermore, even if they didn't request it, Li Big Saber would send someone to follow and protect them.

Last time they left the sect to hunt Yao Beasts, they hadn't requested a protector, but Li Big Saber still sent people anyway.

Since that was the case, they might as well take the initiative to request it themselves.

"Mm, let's request an Elder as our protector," Night Owl said slowly after some thought.

Gu Chen, who was standing nearby, curled his lips in annoyance upon hearing this and said, "Tch! I thought you had some brilliant insight, but in the end, aren't we still requesting a protector?"

Looking at Gu Chen's annoyed expression, a smile appeared at the corner of Night Owl's mouth. He rolled up his sleeves and walked up to Gu Chen. "What? Is my opinion not brilliant enough?"

With that posture, if Gu Chen dared to say the word "no," he would be beaten up on the spot.

"Hehe, brilliant, it's truly brilliant." Seeing that Night Owl wasn't reasoning and was about to let his fists do the talking, Gu Chen became amiable.

"Alright, stop messing around, both of you Senior Brothers. Since we've decided on the location, let's get ready to move." Seeing that Night Owl was about to bully Gu Chen again, Mu Xueqing spoke up to mediate.

"Hehe, alright."

Night Owl agreed and said to Mu Xueqing, "Junior Sister Mu, go call Junior Sister Qin and Junior Sister Huyan. After all, she is from the Central Plains and is more familiar with that place."

"Mm." Mu Xueqing nodded and prepared to go call Qin Fei'er and Huyan Xiaoyao.

But before she could even take two steps, Chu Feng appeared in front of the three of them, fuming.

"Fine, Senior Brothers and Senior Sister, you aren't taking me with you again this time. Am I still your Junior Brother?" Chu Feng looked at Mu Xueqing and the others, looking very unhappy.

He had just been eavesdropping nearby. Night Owl had called both Qin Fei'er and Huyan Xiaoyao, but he was the only Junior Brother not called. It was just too infuriating.

"Junior Brother Chu, the Central Plains is very dangerous. You are only in the Heavenly Venerate Realm, so it's not really suitable for you to go," Mu Xueqing explained while looking at the fuming Chu Feng.

Night Owl also said from the side, "That's right, Junior Brother Chu. Your cultivation level is still low right now. When your cultivation catches up to ours one day, we will take you with us."

Seeing the two of them going back and forth, Chu Feng said stubbornly, "No, I'm already at the Peak Heavenly Venerable level. Ordinary Saints are no match for me. I must go with you this time."

Seeing that Chu Feng was as stubborn as a mule, the three of them—Night Owl and the others—exchanged glances. After communicating with each other, Mu Xueqing spoke up, "Alright, Junior Brother Chu, we'll take you with us this time, but you must be obedient."

Hearing the three agree, Chu Feng nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. "Senior Brothers and Senior Sister, don't worry, I will definitely follow your orders."

"Alright, Junior Sister Mu, go quickly and call Junior Sister Qin and Junior Sister Huyan. Then we will request a protector and leave the sect," Night Owl instructed Mu Xueqing again.

"Alright." Mu Xueqing nodded and went to find Qin Fei'er and Huyan Xiaoyao.

Seeing Mu Xueqing leave, Night Owl and Gu Chen were not idle either. They both went to examine the Devilish Qi space constructed by Jiang Chen.

They wanted to see what was so special about this space built personally by Jiang Chen.

On the Qingtian Sect plaza, Jiang Chen ordered the System, "System, use the epic treasure chest."

【Beep, using the epic treasure chest...】

【Beep, obtained one great emperor peak summoning card】

【Beep, obtained one Great Emperor cultivation level enhancement card】

【Beep, obtained one enlightenment tea tree】

【Beep, congratulations on obtaining the ultimate dao emperor weapon, Gilded Hammer】

Seeing the rewards arrive, Jiang Chen did not hesitate and immediately summoned the great emperor peak summoning card.

He had opened these things many times already, so his heart no longer had any waves.

"Subordinate! Greets the Sect Master!" A plain-looking young man stepped out of the summoning space, came before Jiang Chen, and bowed.

"Mm, go find the Grand Elder and have him find you some work." Looking at the Great Emperor Expert in front of him, Jiang Chen nodded slightly and imprinted Li Big Saber's appearance and location into his mind.

"Yes, this Subordinate takes his leave!" The young Great Emperor bowed again and then walked towards Li Big Saber's residence.

After this Great Emperor Expert left, Jiang Chen came to the orchard, preparing to transplant the enlightenment tea tree.

"Subordinate Zhu Heizi greets the Sect Master!!" Seeing Jiang Chen appear beside the orchard, Zhu Heizi, who was lying on a chair leisurely drinking tea, immediately stood up, ran to Jiang Chen, and bowed.

"Mm, Heizi, how has the orchard's consumption been lately?" Seeing that Zhu Heizi had arrived in front of him, Jiang Chen asked casually.

Facing Jiang Chen's inquiry, Zhu Heizi dared not hesitate. He immediately took out the daily orchard consumption register and handed it to Jiang Chen.

"Reporting to Sect Master, this is the consumption record I have kept since taking over the orchard." Looking at the register in front of him, Jiang Chen took it and scanned it indifferently.

It recorded the consumption of enlightenment tea, dragon scale fruit, and longevity fruit.

Among them, the consumption of dragon scale fruit and longevity fruit was not very high.

After all, most of these two items were given to his Personal Disciples and those Disciples in the top ten of the various Realm leaderboards.

And the one with the highest consumption was the enlightenment tea leaves.

The Elders of Qingtian Sect were all supplied with a few enlightenment tea leaves every day.

However, this amount was just a drop in the bucket for an enlightenment tea tree that could produce about two tons of enlightenment tea leaves.

Now, he had opened another enlightenment tea tree; he didn't know how many years it would take for those Elders to finish drinking it all.

"Mm, well done, Heizi. With you guarding this place, This Sect Master is very reassured." Jiang Chen returned the register to Zhu Heizi and then gave affirmation to his work.

"Thank you, Sect Master. This Subordinate will definitely guard the orchard well." Having received Jiang Chen's praise, Zhu Heizi replied with an excited expression.

"Keep up the good work!" Jiang Chen smiled and patted Zhu Heizi on the shoulder.

He then transplanted the enlightenment tea tree he had opened into the orchard and returned to the Qingtian Sect Main Hall.
