Give Junior Sister Ji a surprise

"Junior Disciple Bai, this is the Archive Pavilion, where the records of all Disciples who have joined over the past thousand years are kept."

After a moment, Yin Qingyuan led Bai Xirou to several vast warehouses, then took out a pale golden bead from his bosom. After activating it, the Restriction on the warehouse dissipated, revealing a passageway.

"Elder Yin, please go attend to your business. I can go in by myself."

Bai Xirou nodded to him, then pushed open the heavy warehouse door and stepped inside.

Bad!

Watching her slender, graceful back, Yin Qingyuan's expression gradually darkened, and he secretly thought that things were taking a turn for the worse.

This girl had always been sharp-minded; if she discovered the flaw...

Not knowing what he thought of, Yin Qingyuan immediately turned and left, hurrying toward his Immortal Cave.

Upon returning to his Immortal Cave, he took a deep breath, then flicked his sleeves and activated a Formation in the room that shielded the Heavenly secrets.

After confirming that no one could spy on him, he cautiously took out a communication talisman covered in silver patterns from a hidden compartment under his bed and injected his Qi into it.

Soon, a low and indifferent voice came from the communication talisman:

"What is it?"

Yin Qingyuan's expression tightened slightly, and he said respectfully:

"Reporting to Master, you previously asked your Subordinate to pay attention to True Disciple Ji's movements in Falling Cloud Valley. Your Subordinate has kept it in mind. For these three years, she has been guarding the herb garden in the Outer Sect and has not taken a single step away."

"Your Subordinate suspects that True Disciple Ji did not come here to control Falling Cloud Valley, but has other motives. The thing she cares about is very likely inside that herb garden."

Hearing this, the person on the other side seemed to pause for a moment, then said with interest:

"What you said is correct. My good Junior Sister has a prestigious status in the Yin Sha Sect and an extremely arrogant personality. If there were no immense benefits, she would never condescend to waste three years of time in a backwater place."

"No matter what Ji Chan'er is looking for, as her Senior Brother, I should help my Junior Sister solve her problems so that it won't be in vain that we are fellow Disciples."

Hearing this, Yin Qingyuan's eyebrows twitched, and he tentatively asked: "Then, does Master mean...?"

A sinister laugh came from the communication talisman:

"I am preparing to go there in person, and by the way, give Junior Sister Ji a surprise."

Yin Qingyuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly replied:

"Master, currently, the Falling Cloud Valley Sect Head's daughter, Bai Xirou, is investigating the situation of the Disciples who have joined in recent years. It is very likely she will find True Disciple Ji, and there will likely be some entanglement then."

Regarding this reminder, the person on the other side pondered for a moment, then his tone became cold:

"A mere Falling Cloud Valley; I could slaughter it clean with a wave of my hand. Why would I have so many scruples?"

Yin Qingyuan heard this and repeatedly agreed: "Master is wise."

"You dog of a Subordinate are quite good at talking."

The other party sneered, "I will arrive soon. You continue to keep a close watch and report immediately if there is any situation."

"Yes."

Yin Qingyuan replied respectfully once more.

Putting away the communication talisman, a ferocious smile appeared on Yin Qingyuan's face:

"Ji Chan'er, you rely on your background from the Yin Sha Sect and your noble status. Do you really take me for a fool!"

"You keep saying you want to help me seize the position of Sect Head, but you have absolutely no sincerity. You only know how to hide in the herb garden and play deaf and dumb. It's clear you want to use our father and son."

"Since you are so heartless, don't blame me for finding another backer..."

As his words fell, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he quietly exited the Immortal Cave, rode his Escape light, and headed toward the Dao Entry Pavilion.

...

Inner Sect.

Qiancui Peak Immortal Cave.

Qi Yuan slowly opened his eyes. A sharp glint flashed in his clear pupils. His entire body was surrounded by Sword Intent, and his aura was menacing.

The little sword hidden in his Sea of Consciousness also vibrated rapidly, faintly emitting a clanging sound.

His current cultivation had long reached the limit of the Golden Core Realm. The True Qi in his body could not be increased any further, so he could just focus on Cultivating the "Yunxiao Sword Scripture", nourishing his Sword Intent, and honing his Physical Body.

When he entered the Taixuan Holy Land, his Heavenly Spiritual Root was tested to be a certain metal-attributed mutated Spiritual Root, which was most suitable for Cultivating the Dao of the sword. Therefore, he chose one of the Holy Land's highest Legacies, the "Yunxiao Sword Scripture", as his main means of slaughter.

Of course, because Qi Yuan hadn't encountered any decent opponent during this time, there was naturally no need to draw his sword.

He couldn't use a cannon to kill a mosquito, or use a Magic Treasure-level Profound Heaven Sword to kill Xu Biao, who was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, right?

There are as many spiritual items in the world as there are stars in the sky, and they can be roughly divided into four grades.

The lowest grade is the Magical Artifact, which has limited power and weak spirituality, and can only use the Magical Artifact's own Qi to fight.

The grade above Magical Artifact is called Magic Treasure. Once it reaches the level of Magic Treasure, the object has the ability to communicate with Heaven and Earth and can use the power of Heaven and Earth to fight; its power is even greater.

The next grade up is the Spirit Treasure. The Spirit Treasure is a sublimation of the Magic Treasure, possessing spiritual intelligence, capable of self-Cultivation, and possessing peerless power. Almost every Spirit Treasure is the treasure of the mountain for various top forces and will never be used easily unless it is a critical moment.

Above the Spirit Treasure is the Immortal Artifact. In this Great World, Immortal Artifacts only exist in legends and have never appeared in the world.

Qi Yuan's Lifebound Treasure is a high-grade Magic Treasure-level Profound Heaven Sword.

After finishing his Cultivation, he was just preparing to tidy up his new Immortal Cave when he suddenly felt someone approaching, so he immediately stood up and walked toward the door.

After seeing the person clearly, a look of surprise flashed in Qi Yuan's eyes:

"Junior Brother Lin, why are you here?"

At this moment, Lin Zhen's face was glowing, and he was in high spirits. He was clearly in a very good mood. Seeing Qi Yuan, he immediately greeted him and excitedly stuffed a Storage Pouch into his hand:

"Brother Qi, I've come to give you the Spirit Stones. The place you live is really hard to find. I've been wandering around the mountain for half a day, but fortunately, I found it."

"What Spirit Stones?"

Qi Yuan was stunned, then took the Storage Pouch. After sweeping it with his Divine Thought, he found a large pile of Low-Grade Spirit Stones inside, at least four or five thousand.

Lin Zhen laughed, "Brother Qi, I followed your instructions and bet all the Spirit Stones on me on you at the betting shop. As a result, one thousand Spirit Stones became ten thousand, earning a full nine thousand Spirit Stones."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to earn this huge windfall. I decided that we should split it in half. There are four thousand five hundred Spirit Stones in this Storage Pouch."

Afraid that Qi Yuan wouldn't accept it, he hurriedly added:

"Brother Qi, this is a little token of my appreciation. Please be sure to accept it, otherwise, I won't have the face to see you in the future."

"Alright then."

Seeing this, Qi Yuan didn't act coy and directly accepted the Storage Pouch.

Regardless of anything else, this kid was indeed a good guy. Although he was a bit slow, his character was not bad.

Seeing the other party accept the Storage Pouch readily, Lin Zhen revealed a big smile.

Then, his expression became serious, and he said solemnly:

"Brother Qi, a Senior wants to talk to you."

What?

Qi Yuan's expression tightened slightly, but he quickly returned to calm and agreed without hesitation:

"Alright, no problem."
