A storage pouch was transmitted from a secret channel to a jade palace at the top of the Immortal Sea Sect's mountain. ()
Yu Tang, dressed in a yellow magic robe, stood by a mountain path. He couldn't help but slightly sigh and shake his head when he saw the expression of a disciple of the Sea Immortal Sect, dressed in a silver magic robe, rush into the jade hall and out of the jade hall.
Even he, the senior direct disciple of the Sea Immortal Sect, had no idea about the secrets behind the channels that the storage pouch came from.
He wasn't the only one who didn't know about this secret channel. Even the supreme elders of the Sea Immortal Sect didn't know about this secret channel. This meant that this secret channel could only be personally set up by the Old Ancestor.
The only thing he was aware of was that this year, Sea Immortal Sect had fewer Spirit Stones in their Spirit Stones storehouse than ever before. Usually, large quant.i.ties of Spirit Stones flowed out of the pa.s.sageway every few days, although it was impossible to tell where.
The income and expenditure of Spirit Stones were one of the foundations of a sect. He wasn't worried about what the Patriarch would spend large amounts of Spirit Stones to arrange in secret. What he was worried about was whether or not the Spirit Stones he sent out would benefit the cultivators of the Sea Immortal Sect.
If a lot of disciples in the sect were to discover that the spirit stones and resources that the sect worked hard to earn would flow into other powers and sects, and he would not be able to gain any benefits at all, then the sect would lose its cohesion and lose its foundation. At that time, the sect would truly be as exhausted as its spirit veins, and it would be on the verge of destruction.
A disciple of the Sea Immortal Sect wearing a silver robe hurriedly arrived in front of Yu Tang. He greeted him, cupped his hands, and replied with a bow. He did not open his mouth to ask. Previously, when he was teaching this batch of inner sect disciples, he had even personally instructed this disciple in the same silver robe. However, he knew that this inner sect disciple, who was extremely respectful to him, did not know anything, and was only responsible for sending this storage pouch, which was sent through some unknown secret channel, into the jade hall, into the hands of the ancestor.
Previously, Yu Tang had also coincidentally met this disciple with a silver robe a few times. Both sides bowed to each other before leaving without saying much.
However, what shocked Yu Tang who was about to turn around and leave was that today, this disciple dressed in a silver robe spoke to him extremely respectfully, "Eldest senior brother, the ancestor has ordered for you, Second senior brother, Third senior brother and the other elders to come to his hall."
Moments later, a few true disciples, including Yu Tang and the elders of the Sea Immortal Sect, gathered in the great hall where Ancestor Xuanyuan was.
"Yu Tang, I know that you must be very curious about the contents of this storage bag. You are the designated senior disciple of this generation of Sea Immortal Sect, so you can open this storage bag for the elders to see." Ancestor Xuanyuan was wearing a wide magical robe as he sat on the lotus throne. He extended his hand and pointed at a storage pouch before Yu Tang, who was standing respectfully below him.
Lian Yu Tang and a few of the surrounding true disciples and elders were slightly startled, but after Lian Yu Tang slightly frowned, without any hesitation, he bowed and received the storage bag. However, when he used his Spiritual Sense to inspect it, before he could take out anything, his face completely changed.
"Eldest Brother, what is it?" Beside him was a slightly round-faced young cultivator with strong Wind Spirit Qi. It was obvious that he was secretly transmitting messages to someone with Wind Spirit Roots. He had entered the sect with Yu Tang and knew his eldest senior brother very well. If it weren't for the fact that there was something extraordinary in the storage bag, even though he usually looked gentle and refined, his eldest senior brother, who was the most calm in the face of trouble, would never show this kind of expression.
Lian Yu Tang inhaled a deep breath and did not say anything else. He calmed his mind and completely released this green-black high grade storage bag.
"Shua!"
Streaks of dazzling brilliance instantly illuminated the entire large hall several times brighter than usual as if there were voices coming from it.
"Hiss …"
There was a collective gasp from the audience hall.
Jing Qiu, who had been speaking into Yu Tang's ears earlier with a sound transmission, instantly turned pale.
Magic treasure!
One after another, magical equipment of different shapes and sizes appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
As a Successor Disciple of the Sea Immortal Sect, Jing Qiu had naturally seen many Magic Treasures. However, he had never seen so much spiritual light and so many Magic Treasures of such shocking grade. At least a dozen of them were emitting auras that caused him to feel suffocated.
Even if it was a low-grade Dao Tier Magic Treasure, would it still not have such spiritual light and aura?
"Could it be mid-tier Dao level?" High rank Dao Realm? " Jing Qiu, who did not even have a Dao ranked magic treasure on hand, naively thought to himself.
"Six Mysterious rank and above magic treasures, thirty of them are Dao rank and above, and five of them are high-rank Dao rank magic treasures. Forty treasures of spirit rank or higher. " The next sentence that Patriarch Xuanyuan said caused a buzzing sound to ring in his head and caused his legs to almost go limp.
"There are six artifacts above the Xuan level, and even six of them at that … So many Dao ranked and above magic treasures? "
All the important figures of the Sea Immortal Sect who were present were a little dazed. They couldn't react to what had just happened at all.
"Lian Yutang, Li Jingyi, I know that you two are very suspicious of the way out of the spirit stones. You two are secretly tracking them down." "I know that you guys are completely sincere to the Sea Immortal Sect, but I have to remind you guys that you are the people I have chosen. If I'm not sure about you two, I won't pa.s.s on my feelings to you guys, moreover, I am sure that I am much more sensitive to the Sea Immortal Sect than the two of you, so shouldn't you give me enough trust?" There are some things that you all are not allowed to know, but there are some things that at least a few people know about, thus giving you the opportunity to reveal them. "
"These magical items are one of the rewards for my Spirit Stones and the way I view them. They belong entirely to us, the Sea Immortal Sect." I know that all of you have doubts. Even if I didn't say anything, you all would've come to ask me. Then, are these treasures worth the spirit stones that we gave out? " Ancestor Xuanyuan's gaze fell upon Lian Yu Tang and Li Jingyi.
"Of course it's worth it." Ao Yu Tang and Li Danyi both took a deep breath and nodded their heads with exceptional seriousness.
"That magic treasure is probably at the high-grade Profound Rank! That one is at least a middle grade Profound Rank … " All the elders and Grand Elders present knew that Xuanyuan Ancestor's question was nonsense. Just a high-grade Mysterious rank Magic Treasure could be used as a sect foundation treasure. As for inheritance-grade Magic Treasures, the spirit stones that had been lost were all valuable, not to mention the current Mysterious rank Magic Treasures and Dao rank Magic Treasures!
With so many magical items, the power of the Sea Immortal Sect would definitely jump to first place in a short period of time in all of the surrounding cities!
"Since you think that it is worth it, then give me face and stop pursuing the matter …" You will be discovered if you use a lot of manpower to investigate. " Ancestor Xuanyuan glanced at Yu Tang and Li Jingyi and said.
"Disciple is slow-witted, of course I will obey." Yu Ding and Li Jingyi were shocked, immediately bowing.
… ….
"Senior Brother, it seems that we've really become smarter this time." After a while, they walked out of the jade hall. Li Jingyi, who was walking towards a residence with Lian Yutang, could not help but bitterly smile as he said to Lian Yutang.
Lian Yu Tang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although the tone of Ancestor Xuanyuan had always been the same as Yan Yue and didn't seem to think that they were doing this wrong and understood it very well, the two of them were still drenched in cold sweat from thinking about it. If a person on his level was not able to interfere in a matter of utmost importance to the future of Sea Immortal Sect and was instead misled by his own worries and cleverness, then wouldn't he be the biggest sinner of Sea Immortal Sect?
"Have all the fellow disciples who helped us investigate this to return to the sect and cultivate for two months before anything goes wrong. We don't want any news to leak out." After taking a few steps, Yu Tang suddenly stopped and said solemnly to Li Jingyi.
"Alright, I'll do it right away." Li Jingyi's figure flickered and he was about to fly away, but he suddenly thought of something and stopped. He looked around and couldn't help but send a sound transmission to Yu Tang, "Senior Brother, actually, I've already found some clues today …" "A lot of the Spirit Stones that came out of the Sea Immortal Sect went to some outposts without any background to buy water-type Demonic Cores."
"It's only used to purchase water type beast cores? Water type beast cores?" Yu Tang stared blankly. He knew that there were a lot of people involved, so the process must have been very secretive and the search would have been extremely difficult. But he didn't think that one of these channels would be so simple.
"Yes, it is used to purchase water-type monster cores that do not care about grades. As long as it is water-type, it will be kept." "However, we can't find out where they went after they were collected." Li Jingyi couldn't help but scratch his head, "This is really giving me a headache. If it wasn't related to our sect's secrets, I really want to continue investigating. What are we going to do with so many water affinity beast cores?" Pill forging? You don't even need to be so mysterious, how could you possibly be able to exchange for such a shocking magical equipment. "
"Water Type Demonic Core …" An uncontrollable strong curiosity made Yu Tang frown. He couldn't help but think bitterly, "Water-type demonic pill, I heard that the one with the surname Wei …"
"Surnamed Wei …" Our Elder Wei … Could it be that he didn't die … "It's us …" Suddenly, in the minds of the two most outstanding and intelligent young men in the Sea Immortal Sect, a thread had been pulled. This thread, on the other hand, had some sort of power to it. It made both of them shudder.
"This …" Their bodies trembled and their faces were pale, but the light in their eyes was several times brighter than usual.
"I can't tell anyone about this!"
"Yes, I can't tell anyone!" The two youths communicated to each other, fiercely clapping their hands and swearing an oath.
… ….
"So you're saying that the missing portion of the water type beast cores in the cities is related to the Sea Immortal Sect?"
In a pine tree courtyard, a Spirit Xuan expert dressed as a monk sat cross-legged in the air three feet from the ground. This monk was dressed in the attire of a mysterious expert with a dignified appearance, without any sadness or joy. He gave off an aura without a speck of dust; surprisingly, this was the Sect Master of the Merit Sect.
A faint golden divine light was emitted from his body, which naturally formed a faint golden lotus below him. Circles of divine imprints flowed out from his back and into the air behind him, and from time to time, golden auspicious lotus flowers would bloom in the air.
Below him, there was also an old man from the Gongde Sect and a few other true disciples. They were dressed in purple robes.
"Don't worry about it for now. Let's wait until 10% is done …" For me to be able to draw out the might of the heavens … forget about the Dao-companions that that person left behind, even the HeavenG.o.d Alliance and the Heavengazer Sect is nothing to fear. " After pondering for a moment, the Sect Leader of the Merit Sect said without sadness or joy, "For this period of time, as usual, we must not attract the attention of the Emperor Star Academy and the Heaven Transforming Sect."
