Lonemoon didn’t expect to be attacked in a random gossip that he listened to. For a moment, a cold aura came out all over his body, which went directly towards that group of disciples.
The disciples were shocked, seeing the two who came over, they all started shivering severely, and their expression was completely nervous. They managed a salute, “Greetings, Supremacy.”
“Since you have time to talk nonsense here, you must be very confident in breaking the arrays!”
Everyone: “…”
Lonemoon waved a hand, and a wind spell blew the disciples back into the arrays. The second one besides.
For a moment, the array was filled with cries of pain.
Until they had reached the audience hall, Lonemoon’s expression remained intense, as he had an urge to increase the difficulty of all the sect’s arrays. And he would see if they would still have time for making up nonsense then.
“Supremacy… Lonemoon?” Lou Hong was all confused by Lonemoon’s stare. He thought about the matters in the sect. They had not suffered any financial losses? Income from spirit herbs and Dharma artifacts etc. had doubled, and there were no new disciples to increase the burden. Why is the expression of Supremacy so horrible?
“Why did you call us here?” Lonemoon sat upon a chair directly, and his icy glance fell on Lou Hong.
Lou Hong subconsciously shivered once. So… so horrible! He couldn’t help but looked towards Shen Ying to seek help. Unfortunately, she was focusing on eating fruits, and didn’t receive his signal at all. He couldn’t help but sent a voice transmission, “Supremacy… Shen. What’s the matter with Supremacy Lonemoon?”
Shen Ying spread her hands and looked uncaring. “Men, there are always a few uncomfortable days each month!”
Lou Hong, “…” Doesn’t this sound a bit wrong?
Yi Qing, “…” Master’s words are so deep, I can’t understand them at all.
Lonemoon, “…” Hey, I can hear you!
“Hurry up and tell us, what is the matter?” Lonemoon’s mouth twitched and he asked again.
Lou Hong coughed, gave Yi Qing behind Shen Ying a brief look, before starting, “It’s like this, it’s almost time for Hong Yu Mystic Realm to be opened, and I would like to use this opportunity to send disciples of the sect to go and gain some experience. They might be able to get a chance of ascension.”
“Hong Yu Mystic Realm?” Lonemoon was stunned. How has he never heard of this mystic realm?
“Hong Yu Mystic Realm is a small mystic realm opened up by a cultivator thousands of years ago before he went for Heavenly Ascension. It is only opened once every hundred years.” Lou Hong explained. “It’s open for two months each time. Though there aren’t anything great inside, there are many demon beasts. It is most suitable for the cultivation of cultivators below the level Golden Core.
“So you want to let Foundation Establishment disciples participate?” Lonemoon asked.
“Yes.” He nodded. “Though the disciples often practice in the sword arrays, opportunities to fight with demon beasts are rare. Besides, most of them had never left Honesty Sect. It would be good to take this opportunity to let them go out to gain experience.”
“Hmm.” Lonemoon nodded. It’s good to let them get some practice together too.
“Among disciples of Foundation Establishment level, Junior Brother Yi Qing’s cultivation is the highest. And with his steady personality, the disciples look up to him too.” Lou Hong looked at Yi Qing and said. Achieving complete Foundation Establishment within five years, that makes him a first in the whole Azure World. “Therefore, I was hoping he would bring the disciples into the mystic realm himself. In any case, he was taken care of and trained by Supremacy Lonemoon yourself, and he’d be much better than those bald little boys at least.”
Lonemoon’s face darkened. “Take out that ‘taken care of’ part!” I can beat you, you know?
Lou Hong, “…” Eh? Did he say anything wrong?
“I’ve told you, for the matters of the sect, you can make the decisions yourself. “Lonemoon gave him a stare. “Besides, he’s not my disciple, why are you asking me? Just ask her!” With that said, he pointed to the person beside him.
Only then did Lou Hong look towards Shen Ying. “Then what does Supremacy… Shen think?”
Shen Ying stopped short. She turned to look at Chef behind her. “Wanna go?”
The cold expression of Yi Qing warmed, and the look he gave her focused. “If it is indeed helpful to practicing, I would like to try.”
“Oh, go then.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Prepare the meals before you go.”
A hint of a smile showed in Yi Qing’s eyes. “Yes, Master. No problem!”
Lou Hong, “…” Why did he find the way they teach disciples a bit weird?
“That’s settled then.” A glimmer of joy appeared in Lou Hong’s eyes. With Yi Qing there, there would be extra protection for the disciples. “Then they will leave three days later, after I’ve gathered the disciples.” With that said, he thought of something, took out a storage bag and handed it over to Yi Qing. “I’ve prepared the spirit stones, too.”
“Spirit stones?” Lonemoon suddenly started paying attention. “What spirit stones?”
“The spirit stones for entering the mystic realm.” Lou Hong explained, a natural look on his face. “This mystic realm is near Divine Heavens Sect, and it has always been managed by them. For disciples of other sects to enter, they would have to pay with some spirit stones.”
“How many is that?”
“Ten top-tier spirit stones, or 300 mid-tier ones per person.”
“So expensive!” Lonemoon was shocked.
“And fortunately Supremacy is here. Otherwise, in the past, our sect is really unable to provide this number of spirit stones.”
Lonemoon frowned. So mystic realms can actually bring so much money?
“Lou Hong, are you close with the sect master of Divine Heavens Sect?”
“Ah?” Lou Hong was stunned, unsure why he was suddenly asking about this. “We do have some interactions in recent years.” Mainly because the sect had become richer.
“That’s good then!” Lonemoon stood up, and a confident and proud light shone in his eyes. “Come, come, let me discuss something with you…”
Shen Ying, “…”
Yi Qing: “…”
They suddenly had a presentiment that they would be having night snacks in the future.
————————
Nobody knew what Lonemoon and Lou Hong discussed on that day, but the former disappeared on the same day. Three days later, coming with the group leaving for Divine Heavens Sect, was not only Lonemoon but also Shen Ying, whom he forcefully dragged along.
It took everyone two days flying on Dharma artifacts to arrive at this top-tier sect: Divine Heavens Sect. As compared to Honesty Sect, which was a mid-tier sect, Divine Heavens Sect which was called “the first sect” was much larger. However, their Spirit Qi was not so thick as Honesty Sect with its half of the immortal vein.
Therefore, as compared to other sects which came and looked around in surprise and admiration, their calm disciples looked outstanding. Such thin Spirit Qi was not even as good as the Qi from the kitchen of their own sect. A sense of pride unrelated to money sprung from the disciples’ heart.
When they reached the square in front of the mystic realm’s entrance, it was already filled with disciples from many sects. Before the guest-receiving disciple made an announcement of their arrival, a Soul Formation cultivator flew over towards them.
“Is this Fellow Daoist Lonemoon from Honesty Sect?”
“Sect master Dong!” Lonemoon smiled and made a salute to the person coming. He was indeed the sect master of Divine Heavens Sect, Dong Wu.
