The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 917 - 290: Uncle Ba, You Don’t Understand That Irresistible Thrill of Conquest (6k)

Cao Zhengyang, who had been waiting outside, strode in after sending Fu Kui off, his face full of boldness.

"Take it! If you lack anything in the future, just tell your Master. Our Taiqing Sect would never haggle over Spirit Stones with others!"

Before the words finished, a Storage Bag was expertly tossed to Zhou Qing's hand, followed by Cao Zhengyang's proud turn and departure.

Zhou Qing caught it subconsciously, and as he opened it, his pupils shrank suddenly.

Inside were a full twenty-eight Five Elements Spirit Stones, with seven Wood Attribute, six each of Fire and Water Attribute, and the rest were Earth Attribute Spirit Stones.

Two months ago, his master had mentioned that the Sect Leader had issued a final notice to sects previously affiliated with the Phecda Sect, to exchange Spirit Stones for protection and settle old scores after this fall.

He hadn't expected those insignificant little sects to be so wealthy. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Watching the Sect Leader's departing figure, Zhou Qing's eyes welled with warmth.

Then he solemnly bowed and murmured softly, "Joining the Taiqing Sect in this life is the greatest blessing of this disciple."

…

To be prudent, Zhou Qing fed all twelve Wood Attribute Spirit Stones to the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree.

Then he carefully sifted through the restrictions inherited from the late Master Xuanqing, quickly deciding on a Three-Color Restriction titled "Zhou Tian Starfight Array."

The majestic Sect Protection Array of the Phecda Sect was still fresh in his memory, and though he was now merely the Gatekeeper of a Level 3 Array Master, having barely managed to condense three thousand Spirit Seals.

Yet, he wished to challenge his limits and see if he could successfully craft it.

If he could forge this Three-Color Restriction, it would not only repay the sect's kindness but also allow him to gift the existing Bicolor Array to the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect, which would be a bonus.

In this way, the Taiqing Sect, Phecda Sect, and Cyan Feather Immortal Sect would form a tripod, supplemented by interconnected Teleportation Arrays, stable enough to establish in the Eastern Domain.

Thus, in a sense, it would be akin to the proverbial rabbit with three burrows.

Then, Zhou Qing found his Master and teacher, listing his thoughts and the needed materials.

Upon scanning the list, both were filled with appreciation and support.

"Half of these materials are stored in the Phecda Sect's warehouse; for the others, I'll personally make a trip to the Wanxiang Auction!" Cao Zhengyang glanced at the list, his tone firm.

Mo Xingjian, however, felt a bit distressed since the last crafting of the Bicolor Array had left Old Fourth restlessly busy for an entire year.

The difficulty of crafting this Three-Color Array was severalfold, with the slightest misstep potentially causing permanent harm.

Zhou Qing responded with a hearty laugh, confidence shining in his eyes: "This disciple is the fourth Level 3 Array Master of this Level 4 Cultivation Country; isn't the purpose of vigorously cultivating formations to support the sect in crucial moments?"

The two felt immense pride upon hearing this.

Subsequently, Zhou Qing mentioned Shen Yunzhou's needs to his Master.

Upon hearing, Cao Zhengyang's expression became instantly grave: "Let's discuss it after I return from Lingyun Mansion."

"Having just taken over the Phecda Sect, many disciples are outwardly compliant while secretly colluding with other forces, attempting rebellion."

"Moreover, six of your martial uncles have been left there to suppress the situation, dispersing power; coupled with Sikong Yan's restless stirrings due to the Heart's Blood constraint, triggering Golden Thunder Sect now could expose us to attacks from multiple fronts, making the situation irreparable."

Zhou Qing pondered for a moment and retrieved the top-grade Spirit Stones given by Cao Zhengyang twice.

"The Three-Color Sect Protection Array ranks at the top within the Holy Martial Dynasty; the materials required are rare commodities with exorbitant costs."

"Please, Master, don't decline. Beside the Wood Attribute Spirit Stones, I've kept some Fire and Water Attribute for myself; the rest the sect needs more at this moment."

"With the dual Spirit Severing Realm experts Lu Yuanzhi and Lu Yuanjiu scheduled for residence, the sect's expenses will only grow, requiring you to accept these Spirit Stones."

Cao Zhengyang gazed at Zhou Qing's sincere eyes, opened his mouth, yet knew not what to say momentarily.

Then he looked at Mo Xingjian, filled with envy.

You have indeed accepted a good disciple.

With such outstanding successors in the Taiqing Sect, the flame of legacy burns bright with promising prospects.

Eventually, he sighed heavily and accepted the Spirit Stones, as the sect was indeed low on them.

Additionally, many matters required reward and punishment going forward.

"By the way, Immortal Xuan You neutralized the toxin from the Sealing Spirit Forbidden Technique after taking your elixir."

"Currently, she is nurturing her source with a sea of miracle elixirs; another couple of months and she'll be fully restored, likely bringing lavish gifts to personally express her gratitude then."

Soon, Cao Zhengyang sharply recalled something and spoke up.

Zhou Qing smiled faintly, his demeanor calm, feeling little impact within him.

"Alright then, I'll begin preparations. By the way, regarding Nannan, you need to prepare early!"

As he left, Cao Zhengyang reminded Mo Xingjian firmly.

Mo Xingjian nodded solemnly: "Rest assured, I'll immediately start arranging and come up with a comprehensive plan swiftly."

Speaking of Nannan, Zhou Qing secretly sighed.

Who knows what that madman is thinking?

The past few months, the Divine Ruins Celestial Palace hasn't seen his presence, and the man in white, Lin Jin, seems to have vanished?

Next, Zhou Qing relayed the Sect Leader's thoughts to Shen Yunzhou, who understood and wasn't anxious.

He planned to revisit that desert, for although Lei Wuji had detonated the entire cave, there might still be remnants of corpse fluid around.

Thus, over a month later, the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree emitted once more that intoxicatingly spiritual aura.

Zhou Qing looked at the tea tree's circulating Spiritual Light, with expectation and tension barely contained in his eyes.

"Hope everything goes smoothly!" he whispered softly, then resumed his seclusion.
