”But the most urgent task right now is to keep this news under wraps! We absolutely must not let the Purple Flame Palace find out about this.”

”That’s right, that’s right. Time is too tight! If only the Ghost Face Spider Cloud Grass and half of the Luo Yunguo could be brought back sooner, allowing the ancestor to recover, we wouldn’t have to be so anxious, fearing that troubles might brew.”

…

Inside the hall, voices of overwhelming excitement and worry filled the air.

After all, that is a fully-formed Black Profound Copper Essence Vein!

Here’s an expressive metaphor: buying three forces like their Cloud Dragon Mountain would definitely be enough.

And now, that wild, fresh micro Black Profound Copper Essence Vein is like a beautiful woman stripped bare standing before them, tempting and exciting them immensely.

They are not saints after all! They desperately lack Spirit Stones, lack them immensely.

As for the Enlightened Deity Cave... no, it should be Cang Kun and Blue Whale, those two old beasts. Once their ancestor recovers from his injuries, how could they possibly compare?

”Changjun, I’m giving you Fangxi, the contact responsible for escorting the Ghost Face Spider Cloud Grass and half of the Luo Yunguo. Set out immediately, personally venture out, and bring those items back as soon as possible! To avoid any long nights full of dreams.”

Then, Blackwind swiftly stood up, looked at Changjun Taoist with eyes sparkling with excitement, and spoke solemnly.

”Yes, I understand.” The bald-headed Changjun Taoist in a purple robe agreed without hesitation.

Half an hour later, Changjun Taoist left Cloud Dragon Mountain.

Blackwind, meanwhile, ventured alone into a forbidden area within Cloud Dragon Mountain.

This forbidden area is the most perilous, yet most rich in Spiritual Energy within Cloud Dragon Mountain, filled with restrictions, runes, and formations.

Once Blackwind cautiously entered, he saw a weed-overgrown cave entrance.

On the uneven stone wall to the right of the cave entrance hung a wooden bell-like object, suspended on wood. Blackwind stepped up and tapped the wooden bell.

Dong~

Dong~~

Dong~~~

Immediately, an indescribable dull yet clear wooden bell sound started ringing, very faint, so much that if it weren’t for the cultivators’ honed senses, they might not even notice it. Too faint.

But after tapping the wooden bell, Blackwind withdrew his hand and patiently waited. Until half an hour later.

”Rumble rumble rumble rumble...” After half an hour, the weed-covered cave entrance suddenly opened, revealing a pitch-black, beast-like sinister entrance passage.

Upon entering, it turned out the cave was unexpectedly just the same as the outside world, exactly the same.

Overgrown with weeds, webs dense, dust everywhere... it looked remarkably narrow and messy.

And in that innermost room within the cave, Blackwind saw an old man with disheveled hair sitting cross-legged on a Purple Jade Stone Bed. He wore a tattered Eight Trigrams Garment, had narrow eyes and an aquiline nose, giving a gloomy impression.

Especially his expression now, it gave off an even more sinister feeling.

”Blackwind, didn’t I tell you recently not to disturb my cultivation? I’m preparing for a full recovery from my hidden illness! This time it must succeed without fail.” The elder opened his eyes, staring gloomily at Blackwind with a dissatisfied tone.

Evidently, this ancestor is none other than Cloud Dragon Mountain’s sole Foundation Establishment True Person Realm expert! First Heavenly Layer, Yu Tan Taoist.

”Ancestor, Along is dead.” But upon hearing, Blackwind hesitated for a moment and spoke directly.

”What did you say!?” Yu Tan Taoist’s pupils shrank, and then a terrifying aura frantically erupted from his body.

”What’s happened? Speak!” Yun Tan Taoist fixed his eyes on Blackwind, his eyes blood-red, speaking with chilling clarity.

”Ancestor, it’s like this. Previously, Red Lion Cave’s Red Lion Daoist visited to convince Along to join forces against a newly risen power, Enlightened Deity Cave, but didn’t expect that Enlightened Deity Cave’s backing was Cang Kun and Blue Whale, those two old wretches...”

Blackwind explained evenly, ”Later, Cang Kun was lured out, and Zhou Long, Lau Pang, and Qin Liefeng were all killed by him personally.”

”Bang!”

Yu Tan Taoist slammed his right palm downward, causing the Purple Jade Stone Bed to shatter into powder.

”Cang Kun, oh Cang Kun, you’re truly bold... It seems you really think I, Yu Tan, can’t do anything to you? Even dare to kill my nephew?” Yu Tan Taoist laughed fiercely through clenched teeth, his expression terrifying.

Listening to Yu Tan Taoist’s frightening mutterings, Blackwind remained silent, simply listening.

Swish!

The next moment, Yu Tan Taoist suddenly turned his head toward Blackwind, his cold words filled with a chilling and biting murderous intent, ”How long until the Ghost Face Spider Cloud Grass and Luo Yunguo can be brought back?”

”At most, half a month. However, I’ve just sent Changjun personally out to respond, so this time frame should be shortened a bit,” Blackwind replied immediately.

At this, he paused slightly and then slowly spoke again, ”Additionally, Patriarch, I have a matter of great importance to report to you.”

”A matter of great importance?” Yu Tan Taoist was slightly taken aback after hearing this.

He wasn’t a fool; how could he not understand why Blackwind would speak to him in such exaggerated terms under normal circumstances?

A matter of great importance?

”What matter of great importance?” The flames of anger within him were temporarily suppressed a bit. He looked at Blackwind and asked sternly.

”The Enlightened Deity Cave, formerly known as the Golden Toad Cave. There was originally a Black Profound Copper Vein on their territory, but just recently, our spy within the Red Lion Cave sent back news saying that within the Enlightened Deity Cave’s Black Profound Copper Vein, there seems to be a buried Black, Profound, Copper, Essence, Vein!”

Blackwind finished his sentence with emphasis, and Yu Tan Taoist’s pupils began to contract visibly, thereafter replaced by a series of ecstatic and excited breaths.

”Micro Black Profound Copper Essence Vein? Is this true!” Yu Tan Taoist asked eagerly, his face full of excitement.

”It should not be false,” said Blackwind confidently.

”Good! Very good... besides us, who else knows about this news? Does the Purple Flame Palace know?” Yu Tan Taoist hurriedly asked again.

”Initially, it should have only been the old fellows Cang Kun and Blue Whale knowing about it. That’s why they stealthily destroyed the Golden Toad Cave and took it over themselves... Red Lion Daoist from Red Lion Cave knew too, but he’s dead now, and other high-level members are pretty much finished too.”

At this point, Blackwind suddenly paused, then spoke with certainty, ”Given the current situation, the Purple Flame Palace definitely doesn’t know. Otherwise, how could they sit still? Patriarch, we must seize this heaven-sent opportunity on our side. As long as we manage to claim that Micro Black Profound Copper Essence Vein before the Purple Flame Palace gets wind of it, they won’t easily make us cough it up. Heh, I fear it’s not that easy.”

”Once Changjun returns, send the Ghost Face Spider Cloud Grass and Luo Yunguo to me immediately. Hehe, with that Micro Black Profound Copper Essence Vein, how could our Cloud Dragon Mountain not rise? Haha, hahaha...”

Yu Tan Taoist’s greedy laughter grew louder and louder, making the entire cave tremble.

...

As the largest and safest gathering place for loose cultivators within hundreds of miles, Canglan Island is undeniably bustling as ever.

Whether along the shore where small boats shuttle back and forth to dock, or in the micro-city at the center of the island, there is a bustling scene with people moving and buzzing everywhere.

And today, after several months, our Chen Fei, Young Master Chen, has finally set foot on this island once more.

In front of the Liu Family of Jinbao Pavilion on Canglan Island.

Chen Fei is dressed in a white outfit with a somewhat ancient style, slender and fitted, his hair finely cut and his eyes bright as stars, giving off quite an air of handsome elegance. He has an imposing demeanor and an extraordinary aura.

And naturally to his left and right behind him are Cang Kun and Blue Whale, whom he specifically brought along for this trip.

This time, he has his sights set on those Foundation Establishment True Person Realm experts! Currently, for the Enlightened Deity Cave, no one else can be as useful as they are.

”May I help you with anything, esteemed guests?” As soon as they entered the Jinbao Pavilion, a servant enthusiastically approached and asked.

Due to the relatively small central area of the island, the Liu Family of Jinbao Pavilion is built behind the Jinbao Pavilion Shop. So theoretically, to visit the Liu Family, you must first enter through the Jinbao Pavilion Shop entrance.

This is actually a kind of business strategy. When you see the dazzling array of treasures on the first floor of Jinbao Pavilion, can you not be tempted, can you not feel an urge, can you not want to buy something?

”I am here to see your Clan Leader,” Chen Fei smiled at the servant and said.

”See our Clan Leader?” The servant was stunned for a moment and instinctively asked, ”May I know who might you be?”

”Just say an old friend has arrived, a six-month appointment, and your Clan Leader will understand,” Chen Fei smiled again and continued.

”Then... may we ask you to wait here briefly? I will report to the higher-ups immediately,”

The servant was initially hesitant, as he was not in a position to report to the Liu Family Head.

However, upon seeing Chen Fei’s calm demeanor and the faint oppressive aura emanating from Cang Kun and Blue Whale behind him, he couldn’t help but shiver involuntarily.

Directly telling him that the three before him, Chen Fei and the others, were definitely not ordinary.

So he decided to report this matter to their manager first.

Moments later, Liu Zheng, referred to as Liu Erye, the current Clan Leader of the Liu Family of Jinbao Pavilion, hurriedly appeared at the entrance of Jinbao Pavilion Shop with his entourage.

Others may not know what the six-month appointment was, but how could he not know? Clearly, this must be Chen Fei, Master Chen!
