The chips that Lingxin took out were indeed very heavy, extremely heavy.

The value of the Xuanqing Zao Hua True Spirit Pill goes without saying, it can completely cleanse the marrow, optimize aptitude and root bones, and complete the foundation of the Dao… The benefits are endless.

And the ancient spiritual treasure-level divine sword is a powerful weapon that can be used as a town sect treasure for a major sect. Even the core elders in the super sects cannot ignore such great benefits.

“How about it?”

Lingxin looked at Muling, who was lost in thought, with a reserved smile and said, “Junior Brother Qing, you are already a genius with great talent and great fortune. With this precious grand pill, your destiny will definitely advance to a higher level, becoming an unparalleled genius that overlooks the entire Great Void Starry Sky!”

Speaking up to this point, there was a hint of unusual emotion in her tone. “Of course, if you have any other requests, feel free to speak up. Elder Leyi will not let you down.”

Lingxin was already envisioning her victory. This was something that most disciples would never see in their lifetime, a heavenly encounter that completely changed their destiny. No one could refuse such a bargaining chip.

Although she was just a messenger, as long as she accomplished this task, she would also receive generous rewards and her status and influence among the core disciples would rise to a higher level.

Hmm, her appearance and looks were not inferior to Xuebing Xuan. If this Junior Brother could become interested in her, it would be ideal. Although she couldn’t become his official Dao companion, being a concubine would also be good.

However, she did not see any hint of interest in Muling’s eyes. It seemed that this Junior Brother had no idea what the treasures in front of him meant.

“The goodwill of Elder Leyi is understood, but I have no intention of changing sects, no matter how generous her conditions are.”

Muling slowly and firmly pushed back the two precious treasures, speaking gently and calmly, “The Supreme Sect Master has shown me extraordinary kindness. No matter how great the benefits are, I have no reason to abandon her. So, I can only apologize to Elder Leyi for her kindness.”

“…”

Lingxin suddenly widened her eyes, staring at Muling in disbelief for a while, and even doubted whether she had misheard.

This was not just a small benefit, but an opportunity that could change the destiny of a core disciple and greatly enhance their path to becoming a Dao. Yet, he casually rejected it like this? Did he even know what he was saying?

“Junior Brother Qing, you must think it through!”

Lingxin’s eyes gradually turned cold. “Your actions not only reject the opportunity that others dream of for eternal life, but also completely offend Elder Leyi! Are you… sure about this?”

“I’m sure.”

Muling did not hesitate. “For others, these benefits are indeed precious and rare, but I am not interested. There’s no need for you to waste any more words. Please leave!”

Lingxin stared at him with a cold gaze and said softly, “No matter how much of a genius you are, you have not yet grown up. If something bad happens, even the Sect Master may not be able to protect you!”

Muling smiled. “You dare to say that, but my luck has always been good. Perhaps it won’t be so easy for something to happen. You don’t need to worry about it.”

Lingxin fell silent for a while, and finally sighed, “Junior Brother Qing, take care.”

Muling’s refusal of Elder Leyi’s enticement also meant that she herself had lost the opportunity, and in the future, she would not have another chance to change her destiny.

Watching Lingxin silently put away her things and leave, Muling’s expression became serious, and he pondered for a while without saying a word.

Figures like Elder Leyi, at certain times, could indeed disregard the authority of the Sect Master. If the other party was determined to disregard the overall situation of the sect and insisted on killing him, even Mu Yinghua would not be able to stop it.

This was the power and status of the Supreme Elder. In fact, in any major sect, there were quite a few Supreme Elders who took on the role after retiring as Sect Masters. Therefore, many times, the current Sect Master was just a dispensable junior in front of them, unless the Sect Master’s cultivation was strong enough to contend with those old immortals and ensure their rightful authority.

Of course, while he understood this, Muling did not feel any regret. Mu Yinghua had many Supreme Elders behind her as well, so this matter could still be settled.

In the next half day, Muling’s courtyard welcomed many visitors, mainly messengers from certain big shots within Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. There were no envoys from other super sects for the time being.

Of course, this was only temporary. As Muling began to make a name for himself in the future, his existence would inevitably attract the attention of more and more super forces, and it would be natural for something to happen next.

Using various means that were not seen in the light, they would preemptively eliminate the new generation geniuses in other sects to prevent them from becoming a threat to their own interests. This was something that all the high-level forces in the Great Void Starry Sky secretly did.

The next day, after discussing with his senior sisters, Muling summarized and reported the situation of all the visitors using a secret method, informing his master Mu Yinghua. The rest of the matter would be a game of the high-level figures, and Muling didn’t need to worry about it for now. He just needed to focus on his own affairs.

In the following half month, during the day, Muling wandered around the city, shopping in the market, tasting various delicacies and wines in the grand restaurants. He was accompanied by a large group of guards, enjoying an extraordinary and luxurious life, like a spoiled young master from a prestigious family.

At night, it was time for him to receive guidance from his senior sisters in cultivation. Xuebing Xuan, Qi Yalan, and Luo Wanqing took turns to teach him until dawn.

As for the rumors spread by some people outside, the three women didn’t care at all. Compared to their own reputation and honor, the opportunity to gain enlightenment and inspiration from their Junior Brother was obviously more important. It was an irreplaceable stroke of luck!

After a few more days, the second batch of reinforcements from Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace arrived.

The scale of this reinforcement was not inferior to the forces brought by Xuebing Xuan, but they mostly belonged to other factions.

“Let’s make a bet. This group of forces has come to seize power and establish dominance. Their ultimate goal is to turn Senior Sister Luo’s position as City Lord into their own territory.”Several miles away from the landing field, in an exceptionally tall and luxurious tavern, Qing Muling was slowly savoring his spiritual wine, speaking to Qi Yalan beside him.

“Wishful thinking. They should be grateful if they don’t die when those monsters and freaks besiege the city!”

Qi Yalan sneered slightly, she had no good feelings for these fellow sect members.

Qing Muling just smiled and didn’t say anything. His keen divine sense quietly spread out, leaving no place for the slightest movement within several miles to hide.

In a rather extravagant mansion across the street, an energetic old man was arguing with his daughter-in-law. It seemed that the old man was scolding her for eating chili again last night, beating and scolding her, the sound of slapping mixed with pleading cries.

Qing Muling couldn’t help but frown, shifting his attention. However, a scene happening in an inconspicuous little house somewhere caught his interest instantly.
