Chapter 39: Resolving the crisis in advance
“What kind of elixir-condensing spiritual object is it?”

Someone couldn’t contain his shock and asked.

“Lingxiao Flower.” The leading person replied indifferently.

“Lingxiao Flower? Is it the Lingxiao Flower that can increase the success rate of forming a semi-perfect elixir?!”

“Yes, it is this kind of spiritual object, but there are not many of them. They will only be given to the three people who have made the most outstanding contributions.”

A smile appeared in the leader’s eyes.

When the people present heard this, their hearts were filled with emotion and they wished they could take down the Xuanyang Sect on the spot.

Even though it is only a half-success rate, which seems a drop in the bucket, it is very difficult to form a pill, and half-success is already a very impressive number.

But everyone soon regained their composure.

After all, this task is too difficult.

Letting a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators cause trouble right under the nose of a Golden Core Real Person is probably just a fool’s dream.

“My lord, this may be too difficult.”

Someone pondered for a moment and said, “Even if I really want the Lingxiao Flower, I have to be alive to use it.”

The leader heard this and shook his head with a smile: “If we come recklessly, it will naturally be impossible.”

“Oh? What’s your advice, sir?”

“Si Qifeng left too hastily. The back door of the sect protection formation left by Elder Quan is still there.”

“That’s not right. Didn’t Sect Master Si leave behind a group of formation masters to repair the back door?” someone questioned.

The leader did not reply directly, but smiled and said, “Although Si Qifeng is very scheming, his vision is too high and he will not look down.”

“That back door still exists.”

Everyone immediately understood that among the group of formation masters who stayed behind, there were people like them.

“If we have the help of the sect protection formation, we can do a lot.”

“The sect protection formation can resist the golden elixir attack for a long time if there are enough spirit stones. If we use it well, we can even plunder the entire sect.”

“Yes, the number of Dan-condensing spiritual objects in the sect is no less than that of the Tianlong Sect.”

“Such a great opportunity, it’s really a godsend, a godsend!”

Everyone became excited.

Although they are from Xuan Yang Sect, their words and actions do not show any sign of regarding Xuan Yang Sect as their own sect.

The leader also smiled, as if he had thought of a future scene.

“Good good!”

An old man’s voice, suppressing his anger, suddenly rang out in the cave: “You are really good elders and deacons of the sect!”

Along with this voice, an octogenarian with a red face from anger appeared in the deep cave.

The terrifying aura burst out in all directions with the old man’s body as the center.

The people who were smiling happily just now were knocked to the ground by this powerful momentum. Their faces changed from joy to shock, and then to deep despair in the shortest time.

The leader looked at the octogenarian in front of him and shouted with great difficulty:
“Madam, please come to the elders!”

“Don’t call me the Grand Elder! I’m not worthy of being your Grand Elder!”

After listening to all these messy plans, Ling Longwu was extremely grateful that Gan Yunhui reported the situation to him in time. Otherwise, the sect might have suffered a serious blow this time.

Ling Longwu looked at the leader. The black robe that could block the scan of the Foundation Establishment Stage’s spiritual sense seemed almost nothing under the scan of his Golden Core Stage’s spiritual sense.

“Elder Weng, as the elder in charge of the Formation Hall, you have really wasted the sect’s trust in you.”

Weng Zhiyuan sneered. The moment he saw Ling Longwu, he knew that he would not be able to escape this disaster today, so he simply gave up:

“Trust? Fuck your trust. I have worked diligently for the sect for so many years, but has the sect ever given me any spiritual objects to condense the elixir? You want to send us away with just a few spiritual stones? This is what you call trust.”

“The Tianlong Sect is much more generous than you. They will give you a pill-forming spiritual object if you complete the task.”

“We elders also have ambitions. We also want to form an elixir and live forever. If you are unwilling to give us this opportunity, don’t blame us for having second thoughts.”

These few words made Ling Longwu frown and look gloomy.

Although he felt it was hindsight, he still explained:

“The spiritual objects that can form the golden elixir are too precious. Only by using several of them together can the sect produce a stable number of golden elixir cultivators and avoid the dangerous situation of a shortage of successors.”

“Besides.”

Ling Longwu sneered: “Even if I give you the Dan-condensing spiritual objects, you will still not be satisfied with your greed. Once you have one, you will want a second and a third. Once you encounter external temptations, you will still rebel.”

Weng Zhiyuan wanted to continue to quibble, but Ling Longwu didn’t want to say anything more.

Several golden ropes shot out from his sleeves, and he easily tied up all thirteen people present.

These thirteen people wanted to struggle and fight desperately, but it was of no use. Under the terrifying power of the Jindan stage, they, as ordinary foundation-building cultivators, had no power to resist at all.

After the ropes were tied, the spiritual power in the dantian of the thirteen people was imprisoned.

Ling Longwu waved his sleeves, and the thirteen people on the ground shrank instantly and were easily put into his sleeves.

After finishing the work, Ling Longwu turned around and looked towards the side of the cave:
“Xiao Gan, how long are you going to hide? Are you still worried about me taking action myself?”

Gan Yunhui awkwardly revealed his figure from the area where Ling Longwu was watching: “I am naturally relieved when Ling Taishang takes action.”

“I’m just afraid that these people have some means of self-destruction. Those means may not be a big deal to the Supreme, but for a small foundation-building cultivator like me, it may be a life-and-death crisis.”

Even Ling Longwu, who was feeling depressed, was amused.

“Xiao Gan, Xiao Gan, you are already in the middle stage of foundation building, yet you are still so cautious. You are really something.”

“The road to becoming an immortal is bumpy. Only by being careful and cautious can you live longer.” Gan Yunhui only behaves like a junior in front of Ling Longwu.

“Alright, no more nonsense. You are the one who made the greatest contribution to resolving this sect crisis ahead of time. Tell me what you want, and I will try my best to help you get it. With such a great contribution, there is still hope that you can get some things.”

Ling Longwu said with a hint of suggestion.

Gan Yunhui naturally understood what Tai Shang meant. With Tai Shang’s help and words, he had a great chance of getting what these thirteen people had risked their lives to get.

But Gan Yunhui would never do anything to steal the credit from his disciples.

“Master Ling, this location was actually discovered by my new disciple. He happened to be there that day.”

Gan Yunhui quickly recounted what had happened. Ling Taishang was his predecessor and had taken good care of him since he was young.

It would be very beneficial for Lin Yu to let Ling Tai Shang remember Lin Yu’s name.

Ling Longwu looked at Gan Yunhui with a very complicated look. Did this guy know what he had given up?
“I understand why Sect Master Si wanted to pull you out to take charge of the logistics mission recruitment work when he was not sure who else had rebelled.”

Because anyone could betray us, except this guy.
