A life of leisure is worse than a life of flowers and splendour

Wushuang was making a killing, and the Dao Sect's leader had also received good news. Grand Elder Taiqing had also gained something in the secret realm, attaining enlightenment and preparing for a breakthrough upon his return. However, the leader was torn. The Grand Elder was nearing the end of his lifespan, and the chances of a breakthrough at this point were far too low. If he could live longer, he excitedly thought, the Dao Sect would likely produce the Tianyuan Continent's first Mahayana cultivator. At that point, the Dao Sect's position in the world of immortal cultivation would be even more unshakable! It would also give them greater confidence against cultivators from other realms. But if they failed, the Dao Sect would lose one of its only two late-stage Spiritualization Elders. He was torn, but he couldn't influence whether or not Elder Taiqing would choose to break through, a decision not even the Elder himself could make.

In other words, at this point, even if there was a glimmer of hope, everyone would want to give it a try. But how many people could succeed? He really wanted to stop them, but he couldn't! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

He could only try his best to give him more hope of a breakthrough!

He contacted the sect to prepare a place for Elder Taiqing to survive the tribulation, and also contacted various sects to charge high prices for things that could prolong his life.

Both True Lord Xuancheng and True Man Yunhai knew Wushuang had the Longevity Fruit, but they kept quiet. Since it belonged to his disciple, True Lord Xuancheng naturally wouldn't embarrass him. If anything, he would discuss it privately with his disciple. As for True Man Yunhai, he didn't want to meddle in other people's business. He knew why his junior sister had bought the Longevity Fruit. Although he didn't like her very much, he wouldn't deliberately try to trick her. Besides, if Master knew he'd tricked her, he'd definitely break his legs. That old man was incredibly biased!

The head of the sect waited for a long time, but received no information from anywhere. He knew how rare the longevity fruit was. Whoever got such a thing would hide it. He even offered his own earth essence, earth-armored beast meat, and even the sect's marrow-cleansing spring.

This marrow cleansing spring is the sect's most precious treasure. It can cleanse the marrow and clear the meridians. It is only open once every ten years, and there are only 10 places available each time. After soaking in it once, in addition to cleansing the marrow and clearing the meridians, the realm below the Spirit Transformation stage can be improved by at least one small realm. Of course, the effect is best when no one uses it for the first time. Even the most difficult to solve elixir can be thoroughly cleaned up. It can be said that the effect is much better than the meat of the earth-armored beast. In order to get this place, people have to fight for it every time.

It was not until a month later that the leader finally received good news: Qingyang Zhenzun, the only disciple in the early stage of the God Transformation Realm in the Hehuan Sect, had a thousand-year-old longevity fruit, but he specifically asked for a furnace, and the disciple had to have a furnace cauldron physique. The other party promised not to take her life, but only needed her help to break through to the middle stage of the God Transformation Realm, and then he would send the person back.

The sect leader, Master Mo Yu, stood atop the mountain, gazing at the distant clouds and mist, his heart restless for a long time. The event that had stirred his heart was like a flame, burning within him.

The other party said sincerely that he was just borrowing it temporarily and it would not endanger anyone's life, and promised to return it in good condition after use.

True Lord Mo Yu couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He knew the weight of this matter was immense, but he also considered that satisfying the other party's request might bring immense benefits to the sect. After all, if the Grand Elder Taiqing could successfully break through his cultivation bottleneck, the sect's status would surely rise to a new level, becoming unbreakable.

"This is something that will be of immense benefit to the sect!" True Lord Mo Yu muttered to himself, "As long as I offer some compensation, I'm sure I can calm everyone's doubts and dissatisfaction. We should all work together for the prosperity of the sect, even if it requires some personal sacrifice on our part, it's worth it..."

In this way, Master Mo Yu kept convincing himself in his heart, trying to find a statement that could convince both himself and everyone else.

Wushuang left smoothly and arrived at a valley in the secret realm after leaving the small realm. Before he could see the situation clearly, he was thrown out of the secret realm in a dizzying manner.

The moment Wushuang came out, she wanted to find her master, but she didn't find her master, and was surrounded by people.

It turns out that the high-level cultivators came out a few days in advance. The first to come out were the Jinhua cultivators, then the Yuanying cultivators, and now the Jindan cultivators.

There were two Nascent Souls, one of whom Wushuang had seen before. He was True Lord Luanying of the Hehuan Sect. Without looking at the people, Wushuang could guess that they were from the Hehuan Sect just by looking at their clothes.

"It's Master Wushuang, right? Your leader has already agreed to let you stay in our sect for a while and help us solve some minor problems." The two men planned to use courtesy before force. After all, this was the entrance to the secret realm, and many people were watching. If possible, they didn't want to make things too awkward.

"Master, save me!" Wushuang was not prepared to reason with them. He used Piaomiao Wuzong and activated the defensive talisman. Two jade talismans that could be used for a full-strength attack in the late Nascent Soul stage were already in his hands. He would activate the jade talismans immediately if the other party did anything wrong.

The two men hadn't expected Wushuang to go against the grain. Even after their leader had already agreed, she was still planning to recruit someone else. They were ready to use force, "You little bitch, if you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the wine!"

The moment the little junior sister cried for help, Master Yunhai also heard it. Seeing that the other party was about to attack, he didn't have time to think, "How dare you! Who allowed you to touch my little junior sister!"

Hundreds of attack talismans were thrown out at the same time, and several defensive talismans were activated and put on the junior sister. He even used his own protective spiritual weapon, the Red Flame Gold Shield, to protect the two of them firmly.

Although the two people in front were not seriously injured, they were also covered in dust. The commotion here was huge, attracting the attention of most people.

As the eldest brother rushed over, the second uncle and cousin also rushed over. They firmly protected Wushuang in the middle. Both of them were holding top-grade treasures. Although they were a little inferior, they were not weak either.

Seeing their own sect members being bullied, many disciples spontaneously stepped forward, and the situation was about to get out of hand. The two Dao Sect elders who had been standing still hurriedly stepped forward to try to calm the chaos.

"Hey, it's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding, don't do anything."

"Master Wushuang, come here, the Sect Leader has something to tell you."

Glancing at the headmaster, she knew exactly what he was going to say. To say she wasn't disappointed would be a lie. She could understand what had happened before, even if she looked down on him a little, but at least she had someone to lean on. But now that the eldest brother had stepped forward, where was the master? Had he compromised for some reason?

Thinking of this, Wushuang couldn't help but feel heartbroken, and tears welled up unconsciously. Deep down, she wanted to try to accept them, like her own family, but... she didn't dare to think about it anymore. The tears were like beads that had broken off the string, and she couldn't stop them.

"Don't cry, niece. Uncle will protect you even if it costs him his life!"

"Don't be afraid, Sister Shuang'er. We are a family and we are together!"

She used to feel that she was not very close to her second uncle's family, but now, a warm current flows directly into her heart. There is no barrier between them anymore, they are blood relatives!

Seeing Wushuang hesitate, the two elders who came over looked grim. Sect disciples were supposed to obey the sect's orders, so what was wrong with sending her to the Hehuan Sect to carry out a mission? Although everyone knew what was going on, enjoying the sect's support and protection naturally meant giving back to the sect. If the pain wasn't borne by oneself, naturally no one would sympathize. In fact, as the beneficiaries, some people even welcomed the outcome.

The Sect Master wanted to talk to her, but she ignored him. This was outrageous! The two men immediately used their coercion to subdue the men. If outsiders took action in this situation, it would be difficult to end. However, if the elders within the sect dealt with their own disciples, others would only think that these disciples had problems.

The two were about to take action when suddenly a loud explosion and roar were heard from the sect's spaceship!

"Who dares to touch my disciples! Do you think I'm dead?" A divine sense directly protected several people and blocked the pressure coming towards them!

These words were spoken with such force that the tears that Wushuang had managed to suppress welled up again! Seeing his master flying over, his youthful appearance matched the domineering tone of the old man in his previous words! Wushuang couldn't help but burst out laughing. Xuancheng Zhenjun saw that his young disciple, who had originally had tears in his eyes, suddenly smiled again. He just thought that he had been bullied by others and was suddenly happy to see his elders supporting him.

Seeing that his disciples were all fine, he finally let go of his worries.

Lord Shangshan took a step behind Lord Xuancheng and glanced at the sect leader, his eyes were as unkind as they could be.

"The Sect Master is using this despicable trick on one of his own people. It's truly enlightening!" She had always hated the Sect Master. He had done it simply because he saw that she was weak and had no one to back her up, so he wasn't taken seriously. He even resorted to drugging her. Ultimately, it was because he looked down on her. That act would disgust her forever, and she would never be happy with him again.

He glanced at the people from the Hehuan Sect again, "Hey, when did our sect become so poor that disciples had to sell their bodies to a second-rate sect, and it's the most unpopular Hehuan Sect. Has the sect master taken over the Hehuan Sect's inheritance? Either he's drugging us, or he's asking disciples to sell themselves in exchange for resources?" Shangshan Zhenjun's words were not polite at all.

When the sect leader was whispering with a few elders, she suspected that there was something fishy about the origin of the longevity fruit. She was afraid that the sect leader would sell out her disciples, so she kept an eye on them. Sure enough, the sect leader sent people to take action, but the target was not her, but Xuancheng Zhenjun. She immediately figured out what was going on.

With the Sect Master's character, what could he possibly do? This old man will surely not die a good death. If it were usual, she might have just watched coldly, after all, she seldom interacted with other people in the sect. But after all, he was her disciple's family member, and she owed him a favor by accepting him as her disciple. By the way, she could also disgust the Sect Master and make him unhappy! This way, she would feel a little happier. Of course, even if the deed was accomplished, he would not have an easy time after returning. Based on her understanding of Xuan Cheng Zhenjun, he would definitely go to the Hehuan Sect and make a big fuss. Even if he couldn't beat him, he would still go crazy. As for the Sect Master, he would definitely not be able to avoid a beating. But since he got the job done, what did a beating mean?

She had already sent a message back to the sect, explaining the origin of the Longevity Fruit. She wanted to see how they would deal with it! Would they still turn a blind eye and pretend not to know and just eat it?
