Now that you have betrayed the sect, who will still pamper you?.

"Junior Brother Lin, these are the spiritual plants and flowers we'll be using for this Hundred Flowers Banquet. Take a look at them. If there are no problems, we'll purchase them according to this list."

Inside the treasure pavilion, a deacon disciple held a photo-taking bead in his hand. When his spiritual power was activated, countless spiritual plants and flowers appeared vividly in the air.

One can tell at a glance that this photographic bead is of extremely high quality, as it can display every detail of each spiritual plant clearly.

The deacon disciple had an indifferent expression and no respect in his words. There was even a subtle disgust, as if this place was even stinkier than the cesspool at Spirit Beast Peak, and he felt disgusted at the mere sight of it.

If you look more closely, you can see a hint of deep anger hidden in his eyes.

Lin Xuan didn't notice anything unusual about the other party. He sat behind the table, brows furrowed in thought, not knowing what he was thinking about. Upon hearing this, he took a sip from his teacup and frowned even deeper.

"Brother Jiang, where are the spiritual plants and flowers from the Hundred Flowers Banquet?"

He knocked the teacup heavily on the table, making a dull sound, and said in a deep voice:

"Why not just take out the spiritual plants you used before and continue using them? Why go through the trouble of buying new ones?"

"Not only is this troublesome, it's also extremely wasteful of spirit stones. The sect is currently in the process of repairing the mountain gate, and the consumption of spirit stones is very high. Senior Brother Jiang should be more considerate of the sect and be more frugal."

Senior Brother Jiang looked at his pretentious appearance, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly:

"The Sect Master asked Junior Brother Lin to be in charge of this Hundred Flowers Banquet. I originally thought Junior Brother Lin should know something about it."

"I didn't expect that I was mistaken. It turns out that Junior Brother Lin knows nothing about this matter?"

Lin Xuan was stunned. The Hundred Flowers Banquet was only held once every few decades, and he had never experienced it. What could he know?

"The spiritual plants used in the Hundred Flowers Banquet were all given to the participating sects at the end of the banquet. Therefore, no spiritual plants remain today."

Is this really the case? Isn't this a complete waste?!

His face darkened, and he was obviously displeased. But before he could say anything, Senior Brother Jiang seemed to have guessed his thoughts and continued:

"This is a rule passed down from long ago, and there is no intention to waste it."

"Firstly, it can demonstrate the sect's financial strength and maintain relationships with other sects. It also provides an opportunity for our disciples to communicate with disciples from other sects."

"Secondly, when each sect comes to the banquet, they will prepare gifts, which are about the same value as these spiritual plants and flowers."

After hearing this, Lin Xuan's expression looked a little better.

Since he won't lose money, he can do it. Maybe he can even make a profit from it.

He really didn't know the procedures of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, but that didn't affect his responsibility for the matter.

After all, Elder Lu took leave to go out and visit a friend, leaving behind only a group of elders to assist in managing the treasury.

In addition, with the sect leader's seal in hand, he is now the only one in charge of the treasure pavilion. Any matters involving spirit stones must be approved by him.

The taste of power inevitably made him feel a little proud, and he began to think about getting some benefits for himself.

Anyway, as long as he is in charge of this matter, the space he can control is huge, and he can easily get a lot of spirit stones.

Since you must buy it, then go ahead and buy it, but he has the final say on what to buy and how much to buy.

Lin Xuan smiled complacently, took a big sip of tea quite comfortably, and then looked up at the sky, carefully examining the various spiritual plants and flowers that kept floating by.

Master had said before that during the Hundred Flowers Banquet, he would invite people from many sects to attend. If he could organize this banquet well, people would definitely look up to him.

Therefore, he must carefully select these spiritual plants and must not be careless.

But as he looked at it, his brows gradually furrowed.

"This Qinglan Flower doesn't look particularly impressive, nor is it some kind of magical herb. Why does it require so many spirit stones?"

"And this Yingfeng Orchid, such a small plant, actually costs 30,000 high-grade spirit stones? Why doesn't he just go and rob it?!"

His voice was loud and echoed in the empty hall.

Senior Brother Jiang curled his lips and did not explain to him anymore. Instead, he took out another photo stone and placed it in front of Lin Xuan.

"The plants on this photo stone are all relatively common spiritual plants. If Junior Brother Lin is not satisfied with the spiritual plants I chose, you can rearrange the list."

Lin Xuan became even more dissatisfied after hearing this. This was not his job, so why should he do it?

Could it be that this guy surnamed Jiang has been lazy before?

But he is the boss now, how can he let them act as recklessly as before!

He actually dared to slack off in front of him. It's time to teach him a lesson.

Just as he was about to scold them, he suddenly changed his mind. If he asked these people to do it, they might not be able to choose the effect he wanted. It would be better to do it himself, which would be easier. After all, he was just enjoying the flowers, so why not just buy some nice-looking ones?

Thinking of this, he nodded slightly:

"Okay, let me take a look first."

Now I have the final say on the entire Hundred Flowers Banquet. How many spirit stones can I save?

Lin Xuan felt a little dry in his throat, so he quickly drank some tea to moisten his throat, then put the empty cup on the table and tapped it lightly with his fingers.

Senior Brother Jiang's face darkened.

What does this guy mean? Does he want me to add more water for him?

Dreaming!

He snorted in his heart, not bothering to pay attention to this idiot, and stood up and left.

Lin Xuan gritted his teeth when he saw this. This kid really didn't know the rules. He just asked him to add some water, not to take his life. How dare he not give him face like this!

Just as he was secretly resentful, Senior Brother Jiang suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned around and said to Lin Xuan:

"correct!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan quickly suppressed the strange look in his eyes and looked at him expressionlessly, but he couldn't help sneering in his heart.

Oh, you realize you're wrong now? It's too late!

Even if you come back now and admit your mistake, I will still find an opportunity to deal with you.

Senior Brother Jiang touched the storage ring between his fingers and said with a smile:

"Junior Brother Lin has been staying in the Treasure Pavilion and he doesn't feel bored. Work and cultivation are like each other. You need a balance of work and rest. Otherwise, you will only get half the result with half the effort."

When Lin Xuan heard this, his face darkened.

He thought that Senior Brother Jiang came to admit his mistake, but he didn't expect that the other party would say such nonsensical words.

Doesn't he know it's boring to stay here? Doesn't he just want to go out?

It's because he sacrificed himself to save the sect, and those selfish low-level disciples outside are hating him.

Otherwise, he would have gone out long ago, holding the seal and inspecting everywhere, so why would this guy have the chance to talk nonsense here?!

"Senior Brother Li acquired a new spiritual pet yesterday and plans to host a banquet tonight, inviting all of our fellow disciples to enjoy wine and discuss the Dao..."

His smile became more sincere: "I wonder if Junior Brother Lin has some free time tonight, let's go for a drink together?"

"Banquet?"

At first, Lin Xuan didn't understand what the other party was talking about, but when he heard the word "banquet", he immediately understood.
