Starting from helping someone rob a wedding, he was forced to hide in the Sunset Sect

Yuqing Sect is a small sect hidden in the east of Qianye Province. It is located in a lush green mountain and stands as tall as a green bamboo.

This sect was built in a secluded valley between mountains. The mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, appearing and disappearing from time to time. It was surrounded by green trees and flowing clear springs.

The Yuqing Sect is a sect that grows medicinal herbs and Ganoderma lucidum. It has only more than a hundred disciples, and it was only in the past 20 years that it was changed from the Yuqing School to the Yuqing Sect.

Xia Xiaomo flew on her sword to the mountain gate of Yuqing Sect. She searched for the female cultivator in light pink clothes in Qianluo City for several hours but did not see her.

She guessed that the female disciple of Yuqing Sect had left Qianluo City, so she came to visit Yuqing Sect.

Two female disciples at the Foundation Establishment stage standing in front of the mountain gate saw her and immediately stepped forward to ask.

"Fellow Daoist, may I ask why you came to Yuqing Sect?"

The two of them could see that the cultivator in front of them was at a higher level than them, and was a cultivator at the third level who had broken through to the foundation stage.

"I am a disciple of the Sunset Sect. I would like to exchange spirit stones for six benzoins from you. Do you have this herb?" Xia Xiaomo explained her purpose.

The two disciples looked at each other, slightly surprised.

Why did the disciples of Sunset Sect come to a small sect like ours and even want to exchange benzoin with them?

"Fellow Daoist, you don't know that if you had come here a few months ago, the two of us could have exchanged with you." One of the disciples said.

"But recently a cultivator from Zixiao Palace bought 90% of the benzoin. Now we ordinary disciples are short of it. Moreover, most of the disciples need benzoin for their cultivation techniques, so they probably won't be willing to exchange with fellow Taoists."

It will take another two months for the next batch of Yuqing Sect's benzoin to grow, so there is only one benzoin on each of them.

Xia Xiaomo nodded.

Is the person who bought the benzoin from the Yaowang Valley store the same person who bought the benzoin from the Yuqing Sect?

"I want to buy benzoin at a high price. I wonder if you could help me notify the elders. I can buy it at several times the original price." Xia Xiaomo said.

"Fellow Daoist, do you have a token to prove that you are a disciple of the Sunset Sect?" a disciple asked respectfully.

Although the two believed that the Taoist friend in front of them was a disciple of the Sunset Sect, he probably would not come out to meet people without a token of identity proof from the elder.

She took off the emerald green jade hanging around her waist.

The outer sect elders had specifically instructed that if one needed to prove their identity when going out, they could use this jade as proof, especially when visiting other sects.

When traveling between different sects, identity issues can be resolved more quickly with the help of tokens.

"This is a token of the Sunset Sect, which can prove my identity." She said softly, handing the black jade to a disciple.

"Then thank you for your help." Xia Xiaomo said.

This was the first time she used this piece of black jade. The outer sect elder said it could be used as a keepsake, so there was definitely no problem with that.

"Please wait a moment, fellow Taoist. I will go to find the elder in charge now."

The female disciple left with the token and hurried into the sect to report the matter to the elder in charge.

She came to the door of the wooden house where the steward elder was and knocked respectfully.

"come in."

"Elder, there is a disciple outside who claims to be from the Sunset Sect. This is her token of identity."

The elder raised his head, a trace of doubt in his heart.

How come a disciple from Zixiao Palace visited Yuqing Sect two months ago, and now a disciple from Xiyang Sect comes to Yuqing Sect?

He had never seen two disciples from the top ten sects come to their sect within half a year.

The elder in charge slowly took the jade pendant and examined it carefully.

The Xuanyu is indeed the token of the Sunset Sect, but this Xuanyu seems to be of much better quality than the Xuanyu worn by ordinary disciples of the Sunset Sect.

The last time Yuqing Sect was visited by cultivators from Xiyang Sect was several decades ago, when they were still a small sect.

"Why did this disciple come to our sect?"

"She said she wanted to buy six benzoins from us at several times the price, and then I came to see the elder with the token." The disciple answered truthfully.

The elder frowned slightly. Why did he come here for benzoin again? Why did the disciples of the ten major sects need benzoin?

Benzoin is not a very rare herb, and its function is to calm the mind.

Using benzoin when practicing qigong can help you stay focused and calm, and avoid external interference that may affect the effectiveness of your practice.

There are many such substitutes, and logically speaking, other monks would not particularly need this herb.

Two months ago, the disciple from Zixiao Palace bought most of the sect's benzoin, and now disciples from Sunset Sect have come to buy more.

Originally, their sect would not sell so much benzoin at one time. After all, most of the disciples' cultivation techniques required benzoin to assist in their practice.

But I can’t resist others offering higher prices!

The disciple from Zixiao Palace offered three times the original price to buy it from them. If it weren't for the needs of their disciples, he and the other two elders would have wanted to sell back all the benzoin in the sect.

Some disciples even sold the benzoin they had on them to the disciple from Zixiao Palace.

It really is such a huge offer, it’s hard to refuse.

The more the elder in charge looked at the black jade, the more familiar it seemed to him, as if he had seen it somewhere.

He had visited Sunset Sect before, and at that time he went there with his master, who is now the leader of Yuqing Sect.

He had seen many disciples wearing black jade around their waists, but this one was obviously different.

At that time, the Sunset Sect was still one of the three major sects.

"Elder, do we want to exchange benzoin with her?" the disciple asked.

The elder in charge didn't really want to sell it. It wasn't that he didn't want to give face to the disciples of the ten major sects, but the three elders only had ten benzoins in their hands, and they all planned to use them for their own disciples.

If six of them were given to the disciple of Sunset Sect, then his direct disciples would not be able to practice their skills until a new batch of benzoin grew.

You can't let other elders' disciples not practice their skills, right?

However, the next second, the elder in charge disappeared from the female disciple's sight, leaving only a breeze passing by.

The female disciple stood there at a loss as to what to do. She had never seen the elder in charge so anxious.

In just five seconds, the elder arrived in front of Xia Xiaomo.

He handed Xia Xiaomo a bag containing six benzoins and said, "These are six benzoins. You don't need to buy them with spirit stones or exchange them for other things. Just take them."

Xia Xiaomo took the benzoin and felt quite confused.

Didn't Yuqing Sect say that this herb was in great need? Why did this elder give it to her directly without even asking for spirit stones?

"Thank you, senior." Xia Xiaomo bowed and put the benzoin into the storage ring.

"Would you like to come in and have a cup of tea? We in Yuqing Sect have recently grown a new kind of tea, and we haven't taken it to Qianluo City to sell yet."

"It has a refreshing aroma and a fresh taste, making it a great thirst quencher."

Xia Xiaomo felt that this elder was very enthusiastic and wondered if he was promoting this new tea.

"Thank you very much for the invitation, senior. I have something else to do and I'm in a hurry, so I won't stay in your sect for tea." Xia Xiaomo politely declined.

The elder in charge returned the black jade to her and said, "Urgent matters must be dealt with first. Come to Yuqing Sect for tea again if you have the chance next time."

Xia Xiaomo thanked him again and left Yuqing Sect.

The two female disciples looked at the elder in charge and wondered if he was such an enthusiastic elder.

The last time disciples from Zixiao Palace came to visit, they were not treated like this.

Aren’t Zixiao Palace and Xiyang Sect both among the top ten sects? Why do the elders in charge have different attitudes towards these two disciples?

The elder in charge immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He finally recognized why this piece of black jade looked so familiar.

When he followed his master to visit the Sunset Sect before, the deputy leader of the Sunset Sect had this black jade hanging around his waist. He would definitely not make a mistake.

There is nothing wrong with not giving face to ordinary disciples of Sunset Sect, but face must still be given to the deputy sect leader of Sunset Sect.
