Chapter 56: Chapter 56 I Really Admire the Eldest Senior Brother_i

The First Elder’s group of five widened their eyes, looking at the Sect Master and then at the Seventh Elder. What exactly were these two fellows planning to do?

Were they trying to incite the anger of the various peaks and cause everyone to rebel?

Had the old Sect Master’s prediction from a few days ago, that the sect would face a calamity, been referring to a rebellion among the peaks?

“You all have such strange expressions. As the Sect Master, I instructed the Seventh Elder to sweep through the peaks for contributions, and you five actually don’t cooperate?” Mu Xingzhi spoke indifferently.

The First Elder frowned and asked respectfully, “Sect Master, what is the meaning of this?”

Mu Xingzhi raised his eyebrows, “The Seventh Elder didn’t tell you?”

The Seventh Elder quickly took over the conversation, “Sect Master, truly, there hasn’t been a chance to explain to them, these days they all avoid me whenever they see me.”

Mu Xingzhi understood, indeed, everyone already knew you were coming to gather resources, why would they wait around?

If it weren’t for the fact that they had always had a good relationship, they would probably have just given a beating and thrown them out, instead of avoiding.

Thinking about it, the Seventh Elder must have had a difficult time these past few days, surely having endured countless curses and disdainful glances.

With this thought, Mu Xingzhi couldn’t help but smile, switching to a consoling expression, “Seventh Elder, we’ve wronged you. You’ve worked hard!”

Without giving the Seventh Elder a chance to lament, Mu Xingzhi continued, “Gentlemen, although the Seventh Elder… well, I’ll just say it straight. The Seventh Elder suggested that every peak should fully contribute resources to gather Rising Yuan Pill materials!”

“Once little martial uncle refines the Rising Yuan Pills, they will be returned according to each peak’s contribution.”

“I think the Seventh Elder’s suggestion is excellent. It can gather Rising Yuan Pill materials in the fastest and most abundant way, and also allow each peak to control a large number of Rising Yuan Pills themselves, so I agreed.”

As soon as Mu Xingzhi finished speaking, the First Elder, unable to wait, hurried to the front of the Seventh Elder and directly stuffed his storage ring into the Seventh Elder’s hand, “Seventh junior brother, why didn’t you say so earlier? Take a look, count my contribution first. I’ll immediately move all of the First Peak’s valuables over.”

The Second Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder, and Fifth Elder had already vanished from the hall; evidently, they had gone back to prepare valuable items.

The Seventh Elder stroked his beard, “I said from the beginning that we should have discussed this matter at the meeting, let everyone know the purpose, and then it would’ve been easier to take action.”

“Are you blaming me?” Mu Xingzhi questioned.

“No, absolutely not, what I mean is, we should’ve gone to the Hundred Calamities Commerce Union to borrow materials and negotiate a rate of return, then when the time comes return a certain amount of Rising Yuan Pills according to the rate,” the Seventh Elder hastened to say.

Mu Xingzhi shook his head without a second thought, “You want to work little martial uncle to death and then inherit his legacy, don’t you? It’s not your turn.”

“Eh? Absolutely not, everyone witnesses the skills of little martial uncle. I highly doubt that even if he was given ten thousand batches of Rising Yuan Pill materials, he could refine them all in one go.”

Mu Xingzhi continued to shake his head, “Enough, the collective contributions from all the peaks turned into Rising Yuan Pill materials is already astronomical. It’s enough!”

“You continue with this task, I’m going to the Eighteenth Peak.”

As Mu Xingzhi left, the group of Elders all gathered around the Seventh Elder, “Seventh Elder, we thought you were a spy sent by some other power. Why didn’t you say earlier that you were sweeping through our resources for our own good?”

“Exactly, Seventh Elder. Actually, my Twelfth Peak still has many valuable things, quite a lot of Spiritual Artifacts and Spirit Materials. I’ll give them all to you!”

Everyone clearly understood that with Li Cheng’s pill refining success rates and quality, such an operation was guaranteed to make a huge profit.

They would invest everything they owned, and in return, they would receive more than ten times the profits!

Of course, such an excellent opportunity was something to rush for!

On the Eighteenth Peak, Yun Tianqiong was sparring with Qi Jingtian. Ever since Qi Jingtian had arrived, Yun Tianqiong had found a suitable sparring partner and no longer needed to bother Ling Xi.

Qi Jingtian’s physical body was so strong that Yun Tianqiong could go all out without worry of injuring him. Thus, this new junior brother had already become his sword practice partner.

Yun Tianqiong thrust his sword, sending out a whip-like Sword Qi mixed with thousands of Sword Path Rules, striking Qi Jingtian in the chest like lightning! “An external enemy?”

Mu Xingzhi, who had just arrived, saw this scene and his eyebrows raised.

Yun Tianqiong had stepped into the early Golden Core Stage. Although the sturdy youth opposite him, measuring three meters tall, was in the late Golden Core Stage, with the Sword Path Rules imbued in that strike, if hit, death was certain!

Such a deadly move was definitely meant for an external enemy.

XXX

Hmm, even a big toe could have figured that out.

Meanwhile, Mu Xingzhi was shocked to his core. Yun Tianqiong truly was a sword path prodigy, only at the Golden Core Stage yet he could mobilize thousands of sword path rules!

You should know, even those at the Tribulation Crossing Stage might not be able to mobilize the power of rules.

Although Mu Xingzhi knew it was because of Yun Tianqiong’s previous extraordinary encounter, seeing him able to mobilize the sword path rules still involuntarily sent shivers down his spine.

Bang!

The burly young man was blasted by the sword qi, with a dull thud emanating from his chest, yet the youngster just lightly dusted off his clothes and chuckled amiably, “Big Senior Brother, that was a powerful strike!”

Yun Tianqiong rolled his eyes, “Little Junior Brother, is it really okay to discourage someone like that?”

Yun Tianqiong was speechless inside. He couldn’t even injure him, and yet he was still praising him for being strong!

If someone didn’t know better, they might think he was showing off.

“It really was strong, I admire you, Big Senior Brother!” Qi Jingtian said again.

Yun Tianqiong sheathed his longsword, “Got it, Little Junior Brother, let’s call it a day here. Come on, let’s go check on Ling Xi.”

As the two were about to leave, Mu Xingzhi finally came back to his senses.

Taking a deep breath, Mu Xingzhi swiftly moved and positioned himself in front of the two, his gaze boldly sizing up Qi Jingtian.

‘Terrifying physical strength. Without using True Yuan, I’m afraid I might not be able to withstand one of his punches!’ Mu Xingzhi inwardly exclaimed.

“Greetings, Sect Leader Senior Brother!” Yun Tianqiong hastily bowed, making sure to tug at Qi Jingtian.

Qi Jingtian, comprehending the situation, also bowed, “Greetings, Sect Leader Senior Brother!”

Mu Xingzhi steadied his spirits and nodded slightly, “Very good. You’re the new disciple taken in by little uncle?”

Mu Xingzhi’s tone was calm, even carrying a hint of joy.

But who knows how bitter he felt inside!

Heavens! Little uncle has accepted another disciple!

They were still hoping little uncle would ascend, but he seemed to be getting further away on the path of taking in disciples!

It couldn’t go on like this. Otherwise, when would little uncle be able to ascend?

Surely little uncle didn’t want to leave a legacy far and wide, did he?

“Sect Master Brother, his name is Qi Jingtian, the True Disciple of our master,” Yun Tianqiong said with a smile.

His words pulled Mu Xingzhi back to reality.

Mu Xingzhi nodded with a smile, “An impressive physique. Little uncle has taught you the sword dao, and Ling Xi the Alchemy Dao. What about you?”

As the Sect Master, he had to maintain a warm and approachable demeanor in front of his junior brothers!

Even if his mind was filled with a thousand complaints, he couldn’t let the junior brothers notice anything amiss.

“Replying to Sect Master Brother, my master has passed on the Array Path to me!” Qi Jingtian said with a beaming smile, showing his white teeth.

“Oh? Then you must understand it well, little uncle’s Array Path is unparalleled!” Mu Xingzhi smiled and subconsciously reached out to pat Qi Jingtian on the shoulder,

But his hand stiffened because the guy was too tall!

However, Mu Xingzhi was quick to react and smoothly patted Qi Jingtian’s arm instead, not showing even a hint of awkwardness.

Qi Jingtian nodded vigorously, “Don’t worry, Sect Master Brother, I will!”

Mu Xingzhi glanced at the summit and said with a smile, “You’re going to see Ling Xi? Good, I’ll go with you to check on her.”

No disturbances in the summit’s formations indicated little uncle was still in seclusion. Having come this far, it wouldn’t be proper as the Sect Master Brother not to see little uncle’s three disciples.

Yet as he approached within a hundred meters of Ling Xi, Mu Xingzhi’s expression froze.
