"

Bai Xifeng answered without hesitation, "This is what my Bai family ancestors obtained after surviving countless near-death experiences during their explorations."

Prior to this, the Bai family did not have a fixed territory; they were merely silver-ranked commanders in the Demon Suppression Division, a fact that was common knowledge.

After obtaining the spiritual liquid, they moved to Beiyang Road and quickly rose to become the number one martial arts family in Beiyang Road. However, they later encountered changes and quickly declined.

The timing is right too.

"Ancient ruins in the far north?"

Chen Sanshi captured the key words.

He still carries his master's last will and testament, which mentions the far north, supposedly directly related to the seal.

"I see."

Zhang Jinchen couldn't find a flaw: "It was a misunderstanding on my part."

After learning the origin of the elixir, everyone's eyes were filled with longing.

Divine Wood Elixir.

With this bottle, given time and barring any unforeseen circumstances, my family can be elevated to the status of a sect!

This thing is truly a waste of resources in the hands of the Bai family.

"Hehe, you don't need to get excited."

Bai Xifeng held the glass bottle: "The Nine-Colored Divine Tree that our ancestors discovered was nearly dead, so the spiritual liquid extracted from it was not perfect. At most, it could only be used to cultivate a rare treasure that would last for 1,500 years. Any higher and it would have the opposite effect. Moreover, after all these years of consumption, only half of it remains, which can at most cultivate one more generation."

"I have said everything I could."

"Young Fellow Daoist Zhang, would you like me to offer up the spiritual liquid for your sect to take back and examine properly?"

As he spoke, he gestured as if to hand the glass bottle to the other person.

Zhang Jinchen glanced at it but did not take it. Instead, he cupped his hands slightly and said, "Senior Bai, what are you saying? This belongs to the Bai family. No one is qualified to take it. I never intended to do so. I was just investigating the whereabouts of the demonic cultivators."

Ultimately, it's a prestigious lineage, and its most basic reputation absolutely cannot be compromised.

"I agree."

Bai Xifeng put away the spiritual liquid: "The Shengyun Sect is the leader of the Beiyang Dao, a place that we cultivators yearn for. They act with integrity and would never do anything like plundering or extortion."

"only……"

His gaze swept over the people from Ronghua City and the Demon Suppression Division: "Some villains might not be so."

"Now that the Divine Wood Elixir has been exposed to the light, it is bound to attract the covetous eyes of villains. We may even encounter tribulation cultivators coming to our door. I urge Fellow Daoist Zhang to inform Elder Shou Zhongzi and ask him to take good care of us. The Bai family will be eternally grateful!"

“Beiyang Road is the territory of my Shengyun Sect, and naturally we will not allow such a thing to happen.”

Zhang Jinchen's tone softened a bit: "Alright, the investigation has been completed. Since the Bai family is innocent, we naturally shouldn't bother them any longer. We apologize for any offenses we caused earlier. All the spirit beasts and plants that were implicated will be converted into spirit stones of corresponding value and sent as compensation later."

"Furthermore, Eighth Prince and City Lord Jiang, your two families should stop making things difficult for Twilight Valley. You should work together to deal with the Seven Killings Sect's demonic disciples."

"Farewell."

Finished speaking.

He led the disciples of the Ascending Cloud Sect to fly up into the sky on their swords.

Wang Jun followed behind, but he didn't say a word from beginning to end, as if he didn't want anyone to notice him.

"This guy."

Looking at the other person's back, and noticing his increasingly advanced cultivation level, Chen Sanshi couldn't help but sigh, "He's quite shrewd."

"Lord Jiang, Eighth Prince."

Bai Xifeng spoke up: "Are you two staying here to spar with me?"

Strangely enough.

After the people from the Shengyun Sect left, both Jiang Shang and the Eighth Prince's original fierce aura vanished without a trace. No one showed their emotions anymore, as if they had deliberately provoked the conflict.

"Bai Xifeng".

Jiang Shang's gaze shifted from fury to malice: "You don't have many years left to live. I hope you'll seriously consider what we talked about last time."

“Lord Jiang, my health is still good, you don’t need to worry about me.”

Bai Xifeng, his beard and hair fluttering, said: "Moreover, I would like to remind you and the Eighth Prince that greed is insatiable. In life and in business, don't be too greedy."

Zhao Xun did not answer, but simply waved his arm: "Let's go."

The large crowd began to retreat, and soon they all left the Medicine Valley, leaving behind only a mess on the ground and a few withered spiritual plants.

Chen Sanshi, disguised as a junior member of the Bai family, also quietly left when no one was paying attention.

He replayed what had just happened in his mind, and something felt off.

……

The main peak of Daze.

Zhang Jinchen and Wang Jun landed one after the other at the mountain peak.

The ethereal and otherworldly Shou Zhongzi did not turn around. He remained seated cross-legged, gazing at the beautiful mountains and rivers ahead, and calmly asked, "How is it?"

"Reply to the elder."

Zhang Jinchen gently cupped his hands in greeting: "I've gone to check, and the Bai family does indeed have something."

Recently, chaos has been rampant in Beiyang Road, and many things are always involved with the Bai family, leading the Shengyun Sect to suspect that something is amiss. Therefore, they sent people to investigate today.

He described in detail what he had seen that day.

After listening, Shou Zhongzi was slightly surprised: "It's actually the Nine-Colored Divine Wood? Hehe, these juniors of the Bai family are quite fortunate to have obtained the spiritual liquid of the Nine-Colored Divine Wood. If they had more martial arts inheritance, they would probably have already broken through to the third realm. With a little more accumulation, they could have established their own sect."

"What a waste of resources."

Zhang Jinchen sighed, "If that half-bottle of spiritual liquid were in my sect's hands, we could have produced at least two more Core Formation cultivators."

"Let's ask them for some."

Shou Zhongzi paused for a moment: "Don't go too far. Remember to give them some benefits. Wang Jun, take care of this matter."

"As ordered!"

……

Twilight Valley.

Guanhu Tower.

The Bai brothers gathered here, discussing what had happened earlier.

"Humph!"

Bai Laosan sat down cursing, "They don't treat us like human beings at all. They even said they would compensate us with spirit stones. How can spirit stones possibly measure the losses we have suffered today!"

"But speaking of which, it turns out that our clan's most treasured artifact is the Divine Wood Elixir?"

In fact.

Before today, most of them did not know what was inside the Medicine Valley; only the patriarch and the second son knew the inside story.

"Where are the boss and the others?"

"They went to the ancestral hall to discuss matters."

"..."

……

Behind the valley at dusk, the Bai family ancestral hall.

"We've managed to get by today."

Bai Liangbi breathed a long sigh of relief: "If that scoundrel Shouzhongzi finds out the truth, I'm afraid our clan will be wiped out in an instant."

"Yes."

Bai Linxun chimed in, "The Nine-Colored Divine Wood Elixir, which we haven't used much before, has come in very handy. Zhao Xun and the others have also been quite cooperative."

"They are the ones who are most afraid."

Bai Liangbi sneered, "After all, if the items were actually taken out, it wouldn't be their turn."

"I am ashamed before my ancestors."

The one-armed old man looked at the rows of memorial tablets in front of him and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm afraid we can't keep the things. Linxun, go and invite the people from Qingxu Sect over."

"This……"

Bai Liangbi hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed, "I understand."
