After returning from the competition, inform Master
"Revered Master!"
Qiao Linger waved her hands in the crowd.
Wind Dao Ling came over with Maple Red Leaf and two others.
"How was it? How was it? What place did you get?"
Qiao Linger asked excitedly.
"Sigh! Don't even mention it!"
Shen Duanshan sighed in disappointment.
"Lingjian Sect is too abnormal. The people they sent out were not the ones we understood on the surface.
Junior Brother Third Brother Su Jian met Pei Xinglan of Lingjian Sect at the start, two Sword Dao Geniuses. The moment the match began, it became the climax of the entire competition.
Unfortunately, Junior Brother Third Brother Su Jian's Realm was a bit inferior to his opponent's, and he was directly defeated in the first round!"
Wind Dao Ling patted Third Brother Su Jian and said, "Don't be discouraged. Your Realm was just too far behind your opponent. In terms of Sword Dao comprehension, you are not inferior to him at all. If you were in the same Realm, he would be the one defeated!"
Maple Red Leaf followed up to comfort him, "Yes, Junior Brother, you didn't see the faces of Lingjian Sect's Sect Master and everyone else at that time; they instantly panicked!
Their expressions were so rich. They were hidden for ten years, all for a single explosive moment, but they didn't expect to encounter an abnormal person like you at the very beginning. If they had knelt directly at the start, I can't even imagine if the people of Lingjian Sect would have suffered a Dao Heart collapse!"
"Pfft!" Third Brother Su Jian's strained face suddenly broke into a smile.
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Cultivators have a clear Dao Heart.
Once there is a lingering concern, it will eventually become a Heart Demon.
"Senior Sister, Senior Brother, what about you two?"
Qiao Linger looked at the two with anticipation.
"I'm fine, fifth place!" Maple Red Leaf was quite satisfied with her result.
This was not an internal competition of Tianxuan Sect, but a contest among the Four Great Immortal Sects. It was already not easy to achieve this result.
"I was a bit worse, twelfth place!"
Shen Duanshan said somewhat awkwardly.
Wind Dao Ling comforted him from the side, "That's good enough. You're on the Body Cultivator path. Not being able to get close is your biggest reason. Next, I will formulate a training plan for you specifically for movement techniques!"
"Thank you, Revered Master!"
Shen Duanshan bowed and cupped his hands in gratitude.
"Let's go back first!"
Shen Fan urged.
Now that everyone was back, to avoid further complications, Shen Fan needed to tell Wind Dao Ling about the matter immediately.
"You all go back first!"
Wind Dao Ling waved his hand and said, "Xue Qiutian wants to conduct a review and plan for this competition, and he insists that I participate!"
"Oh, right, add a few more dishes today, and let's have a drink together!"
"Revered Master!"
Shen Fan said resolutely.
"I have an important matter to report. We should go back first!"
"Is that so?"
Seeing Shen Fan's solemn expression, Wind Dao Ling pondered slightly, then nodded.
"Then let's go back first!"
...
...
Zhan Yue Peak.
Everyone sat at the stone table in the courtyard, looking at Shen Fan with eager anticipation.
"What's so serious?"
Shen Duanshan asked curiously.
Shen Fan didn't speak, he just took out a substitute death skull.
"This is..."
Everyone immediately gathered around.
"A substitute death skull?"
Wind Dao Ling touched the warm, jade-like bone, his eyebrows raised, "This texture, it's naturally formed resentment spirit bone!"
"A substitute death skull of this quality is five times the price of those junk ones on the market, it can sell for around five thousand Spirit Stones!"
"Where did it come from?"
"What?"
Shen Fan and Qiao Linger exclaimed in unison, then looked at each other, revealing excitement.
Shen Fan took a deep breath and calmed down.
"Revered Master, I have a way within the Sect. The risk is a bit high, but the profit is very high. If you're not afraid, I can bring a very high economic income to our Zhan Yue Peak. From now on, we can completely achieve financial freedom!"
"Oh? What way?"
Wind Dao Ling immediately became interested.
During this time, he had also gained some understanding of Shen Fan.
Shen Fan was not the kind of person who boasted or flattered, and he had just actively stopped himself from saying something, so it should not be false.
"If it's something thankless, or something that affects Cultivation, or something that doesn't make ends meet, then don't mention it again!"
Wind Dao Ling warned in advance.
"Revered Master, I've already taken this thing out, do you think it would be such a trivial matter?"
Shen Fan said, patting the substitute death skull on the table.
"You mean, this?"
Wind Dao Ling frowned, "Kid, this is wild resentment spirit bone, it takes hundreds of years to form, unless there's a large Mass Grave, otherwise it's simply impossible..."
Before Wind Dao Ling could finish speaking, Shen Fan nodded heavily.
"You found a Mass Grave?"
Even though Wind Dao Ling was a Golden Core Great Expert and well-informed, hearing the words "Mass Grave" still startled him.
Because it represented not only a tragic history but also abundant Cultivation resources.
Wealth, techniques, companions, land.
Money comes first. If you don't have money, what kind of immortal do you Cultivate? Go home and sleep!
"Is that true?"
Seeing that Wind Dao Ling still didn't believe him, Qiao Linger spoke, "Revered Master, it's true. We got some substitute death skulls, not many, only enough for seven or eight. Those resentment spirit bones formed extremely terrifying bone beasts, and we are no match for them!"
"You went down too?"
Wind Dao Ling naturally knew the horror of the Mass Grave; some of the bone beasts bred inside made even him somewhat fearful.
"I didn't!"
Qiao Linger explained, "Brother was worried about my safety and wouldn't let me go down. Even so, when we were opening the entrance, the dead resentment corpse Qi floated out, and I accidentally inhaled a breath. If Brother hadn't helped me suck it out, I probably would have been in danger of my life!"
"Brother?"
Hearing this strange address, everyone's gazes immediately became peculiar.
"You're his Senior Sister!"
Qiao Linger said indifferently, "I think this address is more intimate, and besides, it's just an address, why bother!"
"You two, what can I say about you!"
Everyone looked at the two with a disgusted expression.
Wind Dao Ling said with a solemn expression, "That dead resentment corpse Qi is indeed the most poisonous substance in the world, but how did you deal with it? And how did you get down there?"
Shen Fan had already thought of a countermeasure and said, "I was worried about being discovered by others, so I kept digging and digging. At first, the hole was very small. After slowly letting out the dead resentment corpse Qi, I then dug the hole larger to go down!"
"You little brat, you really aren't afraid of death!"
Wind Dao Ling was secretly startled, "How big is it down there? What exactly does it look like?"
Shen Fan shook his head, "I don't know how big it is, but it's full of mountains of corpses and seas of bones down there. The bones that have already decayed shatter with a light step. The bones and dark brown soil are mixed together, making it very difficult to excavate resentment spirit bones. I initially killed a few bone beasts formed by resentment spirit bones and obtained some resentment spirit bones. After that, the bone beasts that came out, I was no match for them!"
"You little brat, you really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth, a small person with a big ghost. You actually dared to go down into the Mass Grave alone!"
Wind Dao Ling felt a lingering fear for Shen Fan.
"Where is that Mass Grave? Besides the two of you, who else knows about it?"
"It's over by Chixia Peak. I discovered it before I joined Zhan Yue Peak. At that time, my strength was weak, and I didn't dare to go down. After joining Zhan Yue Peak, and after being taught by Senior Sister, Senior Brother, and Revered Master, I believed I could do it, so I went down to take a look!"
Shen Fan said seriously, "Before this, only I knew. After you all left, I thought about it. Senior Sister Ling'er can control beasts, and with so many spirit pets helping, she should be able to lend me a hand, so I told Senior Sister Ling'er. Currently, only the two of us know!"
Wind Dao Ling nodded upon hearing this, then looked up at the sky.
"I'll go to the Inner Sect Main Peak first. After sunset, in the middle of the night, when I return, I'll go and take a look first. The few of you, don't run around, lest you alert the enemy!"
"Yes!"
