Chapter 261: It Is Just Alchemy, Yet It Caused Such A Big Commotion
Ye Cong Xin was not willing to accept it.

The lineage of Lone Moon Peak had always pressed Main Peak down a head. Since when did someone from Main Peak get to climb over her head and act wild?

Especially that Zhou Jin Yue. She and Yu Zhao had always played the best together and were as close as if they wore the same pair of pants.

If Zhou Jin Yue rose up, would Yu Zhao’s status not rise along with her?

The System did not answer.

Ye Cong Xin did not need an answer.

She simply could not stand to see Zhou Jin Yue doing well.

The better Zhou Jin Yue lived, the more useless Ye Cong Xin looked by comparison.

She also coveted Zhou Jin Yue’s Luck Value. But Zhou Jin Yue had never been close to her. Gaining Zhou Jin Yue’s Favorability would be almost impossible.

Ye Cong Xin sulked for a while, then said in a low voice: “System, continue reporting.”

The System said: “Ding! Ranked second in Fortune is Wang Sheng…”

“Wang Sheng? Which idiot?” Ye Cong Xin shouted.

Ye Cong Xin lost her calm again.

Wang Sheng had left a deep impression on her.

First, he had an extremely beautiful face, the kind that made one forget vulgar thoughts at a glance.

Second, his mind was unclear and he behaved like a child.

Finally, at their last meeting, he had almost strangled her to death.

How could she possibly forget Wang Sheng!

An idiot with an unknown background was actually also a favored child of the Heavenly Dao. Ye Cong Xin’s fingertips dug into her palms, and jealousy burned in her eyes.

The System continued: “Ding! Ranked third in Luck Value is Cui Jue… fourth is Fang Cheng Lang… fifth is Zhang Jun…”

Ye Cong Xin’s expression grew uglier and uglier.

If the System had not already been bound to her long ago, she would really have suspected that it had come on purpose to annoy her. None of the great Fated Ones it reported had a close relationship with her.

Gaining their Favorability would be as hard as climbing to the sky.

Ye Cong Xin began to change her way of thinking. Acting only inside the sect would always tie her hands. It would be better to widen her pool of targets.

The Luck Value of ordinary cultivators could not compare to people like Fang Cheng Lang, but many small amounts could add up. With her methods, she could still gather quite a lot of Luck Value.

As for danger…

Ye Cong Xin smiled with confidence.

She was now a Golden Core cultivator and had some ability to protect herself. Besides, she had the System by her side. Even if she ran into trouble, she believed she could come out in one piece.

She had long grown tired of the unchanging life on Lone Moon Peak. Going out alone to temper herself had always been her dream.

The more Ye Cong Xin thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. After coming out of seclusion, she immediately went up to Main Peak and asked Sect Master Ji Yuan for permission to go out and gain experience.

And then she received a negative answer from Sect Master Ji Yuan.

Ye Cong Xin was both shocked and angry.

In fact, according to the rules, she did not need Sect Master Ji Yuan’s approval. As long as Master Qing Yan agreed, it would be enough.

But Master Qing Yan was not there, and there was no supervisor on Lone Moon Peak. She had no choice but to report to the Sect Master.

She had thought she was only going through the motions. She did not expect to be refused.

She pressed down her resentment and tried to calmly ask for the reason.

Sect Master Ji Yuan said that Ye Cong Xin was weak and had never gone far alone. Out of concern for her safety, he had rejected her request.

If she insisted on going out to gain experience, she would have to wait until Master Qing Yan returned and got his approval.

Ye Cong Xin did not even know where Master Qing Yan had gone, much less when he would return.

For a moment, she suspected that Sect Master Ji Yuan was deliberately making things hard for her.

After calming down and thinking it over, she felt she was probably overthinking.

She did not like Main Peak, but she had never shown it in front of others. Sect Master Ji Yuan had always treated her kindly. It seemed that he really was thinking about her health.

A ball of frustration was stuck in her chest, neither going up nor going down. Ye Cong Xin could neither swallow it nor spit it out. In the end, she could only return with a belly full of anger and a sense of defeat.

Sect Master Ji Yuan stroked the beard at his jaw. A probing light flashed in his tiger-like eyes.

Ye Cong Xin had actually reached Golden Core Great Completion.

He still remembered that when Ye Cong Xin was born, an elder skilled in medicine had judged that she would not live past sixteen.

The elders of the sect had pitied her short Lifespan, cherished her carefully, and instructed the disciples to treat their Junior Sister with love, to give Ye Cong Xin a carefree childhood as much as possible.

But Ye Cong Xin’s age now was already far past the time that elder had predicted. She had even broken through to the Golden Core. Her body looked much healthier than before. Living another thirty or forty years would be no problem.

Was it a miracle?

Or…

Sect Master Ji Yuan shook his head.

It seemed that this disciple, who looked so obedient and sensible, also hid quite a few secrets.

All the more he did not dare let her go out freely. It would be better to wait for Master Qing Yan to return and then decide.

Rumble, rumble, rumble.

At that moment, thunder boomed, and blinding lightning tore through the sky like madly dancing silver snakes.

Sect Master Ji Yuan flashed outside the hall. Looking at the strange scene in the sky, his gaze fell at once on a small palace not far away.

That was Sect Master Wu Sang’s residence.

His expression turned subtle. He muttered: “It is just Alchemy, yet it caused such a big commotion.”

Even so, he still quickly rushed over to the door of Sect Master Wu Sang’s room.

As soon as Sect Master Wu Sang came out, Sect Master Ji Yuan held out his hand to ask for pills, saying that the noise from his Alchemy was too big, had scared the disciples inside the sect, and they needed material comfort.

Sect Master Wu Sang glared at him, pretending to be angry, and said: “Are the disciples of your Five Elements Dao Sect made of crystal, that they break with one touch?”

Sect Master Ji Yuan said: “I do not care. You must compensate me for my losses today, or you can forget about making me leave.”

As the two of them tugged and argued, Wanderer Bao Hua also followed the sound and arrived. The first thing she said was also to ask Sect Master Wu Sang for pills.

Sect Master Wu Sang was almost angry enough to laugh. He said: “Bao Hua, you are even more excessive than this Ji Yuan. I have not even finished researching the pill recipe with Longevity Fruit as the main ingredient, and you are already thinking about it… Wait, that is not right. How do you know I have Longevity Fruit in my hands?”

Sect Master Ji Yuan stood to the side, his eyes rolling in guilt.

He had not meant to spread the news. He had just not been able to keep his mouth shut.

Yu Zhao was such an outstanding child. How could he not show off a bit outside?

Sect Master Wu Sang quickly suspected him and cursed him for having no filter on his mouth.

Sect Master Ji Yuan of course refused to admit it. He even told Sect Master Wu Sang to bring out proof, making Sect Master Wu Sang so angry he almost smashed the pill furnace down on his head.

Wanderer Bao Hua said: “Wu Sang, I am not taking your pills for free. I can trade something with you, and I only want one.”

Wanderer Bao Hua had quite a good reputation in front of Sect Master Wu Sang. The two quickly made a happy deal, leaving Sect Master Ji Yuan to the side.

Sect Master Ji Yuan was not angry. He just treated himself like a decoration. After Wanderer Bao Hua left satisfied, he eagerly crowded up again.

Relying on his thick skin, he finally forced seven or eight pills out of Sect Master Wu Sang’s hands, making Sect Master Wu Sang curse him as a bandit.

Sect Master Ji Yuan shrugged.

Bandit was fine.

For the sake of the sect, he was willing to bear that name.

Even if these were only Sect Master Wu Sang’s practice pieces, they were still great treasures that outsiders might not be able to get even if they fought to the death.

Sect Master Ji Yuan would never dislike them.

The thunder and lightning scene was so exaggerated that it caught not only Sect Master Ji Yuan’s attention. Everyone who was not in Closed-Door Cultivation saw it.

Ye Cong Xin and Cui Jue, who had just returned to Lone Moon Peak not long ago, were naturally no exception.
