Chapter 94 Account
Since joining the Miaoyin Sect as an elder, Mu Chunfeng's cultivation life has indeed become much easier.
In the past, he had to personally travel to various markets to purchase spiritual materials and collect supplies, which took a lot of his time and energy.
Now, with the convenience of the Miaoyin Sect, all that's needed is a verbal order, and the sect will take care of everything on its behalf.
Under the guise of "facilitating communication," he smoothly placed Yanli into the Miaoyin Sect and promoted her to an important position within the sect.
Yuan Yao and Xue Mo also joined the Miaoyin Sect along with Yan Li.
However, Yuan Yao was naturally averse to restraint and disliked the scheming and intrigue within the sect. Therefore, she only held the nominal title of Yanli's deputy and occasionally helped out, while spending most of her time in the cave cultivating diligently.
Unlike Yanli, Xuemo did not directly receive a sect position. Instead, Mu Chunfeng legitimately placed her next to Yanli as her "personal protector."
This move naturally stirred up quite a bit of undercurrent within the Miaoyin Sect, especially causing the sect leader, Ziling, to secretly fear it.
At first, she wasn't sure what Mu Chunfeng was up to, but seeing that Mu Chunfeng was very disciplined and only allowed Yanli to join the family, she didn't want to interfere too much.
But when she saw with her own eyes the powerful and imposing "Core Formation stage protector" following Yanli, she couldn't help but feel a strong sense of unease.
As far as she knew, the Snow Demon had appeared in Mu Chunfeng's cave and claimed to be her senior brother.
Although Zi Ling did not entirely believe it, she was still incredibly shocked to see a dignified early-stage Core Formation cultivator willingly become Yan Li's protector.
She even had a vague feeling that her actions were like inviting a wolf into the house, bringing a "new powerful minister" who was even more difficult to control than Zhao Zheng to the Miaoyin Sect.
However, the original elder Zhao Zheng also felt uneasy about this.
When Zhao Zheng first heard that Zi Ling had recruited a new Core Formation Elder, he was quite annoyed.
He saw through Zi Ling's attempt to use this opportunity to establish a balance of power and wanted to find a pretext to give her a hard time.
However, after learning about Mu Chunfeng's background, his interest waned somewhat.
The fact that Mu Chunfeng had formed his Golden Core had once caused quite a stir among Golden Core cultivators, but now no one was bothering him, which clearly showed that he was no ordinary person.
Especially when Zhao Zheng noticed that Yanli was being followed closely by a "protector" who was also at the Core Formation stage and possessed a precious aura, he completely abandoned any thought of a direct confrontation.
With two Core Formation cultivators joining forces, Zhao Zheng had no intention of provoking them, so he could only choose to lie low and avoid their sharp edge for the time being.
From then on, Yanli firmly established herself in the Miaoyin Sect, and with the help of Mu Chunfeng's influence, she successfully took over the position of "Left Envoy" of the Miaoyin Sect.
This naturally caused dissatisfaction among several senior female disciples who were originally vying fiercely for the positions of Left and Right Envoys.
But what if they're dissatisfied? In the face of absolute strength, all scheming and intrigue are futile. Standing behind Yanli is Elder Mu, the most mysterious figure in the sect, and that chilling white-robed Core Formation guard.
However, just as everyone in the Miaoyin Sect was secretly speculating that Yanli would take advantage of Elder Mu's prestige to make great strides and seize power, her subsequent actions surprised everyone.
After Yanli took office, she did not engage in power struggles or form cliques as everyone had expected.
She strictly followed Mu Chunfeng's instructions, diligently performed her duties within the sect, and wholeheartedly assisted Zi Ling in maintaining the sect's daily operations and the stability of trade routes, without showing the slightest ambition to overstep her bounds or vie for power.
Of course, although she obeyed Zi Ling and preserved the face of Zi Ling, the sect leader of Miaoyin Sect, Zi Ling also knew very well that if Elder Mu had any decree, Yan Li would definitely carry it out without hesitation.
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
That day, Mu Chunfeng had just finished feeding the Gold-Eating Insects in the animal breeding room when he pushed open the door and saw Yanli standing smiling in the main hall of the cave.
Judging from the undisguised joy in her eyes, she had just returned from an errand and had successfully completed the task.
Mu Chunfeng flicked his sleeves and casually asked, "Has the matter with the Xuan Beast Sect been settled?"
Upon hearing this, Yanli immediately curtsied and replied softly, "Your Excellency, I have already made contact with the stewards of the Xuan Beast Sect through the sect's internal channels. From now on, they will provide a batch of mature 'Rainbow Grass' every year. The price has also been finalized."
Mu Chunfeng listened, nodded slightly, and looked satisfied.
In the Chaotic Star Sea, the Rainbow Grass is also known as the "Demon-Attracting Grass," a rare and precious plant for cultivating spirit beasts.
This herb not only promotes the reproduction of monsters, but its unique fragrance when it matures and unfolds its leaves can also lure surrounding monsters to compete for it.
Unfortunately, the timing of this herb's leaf unfolding is extremely difficult to grasp, and once it is picked, its original alluring fragrance will be completely lost, making it unsuitable for hunting demons in the outer seas.
However, its effects in accelerating the growth and nurturing of spirit beasts are real, which is why it has attracted many sects specializing in beast taming to cultivate it extensively.
As a renowned beast-taming sect in the Inner Star Sea, the Xuan Beast Sect raises countless spirit birds and sea beasts, and has an enormous demand for Rainbow Grass.
After years of operation, they have established a mature business model for the cultivation, ripening, and sale of *Gynura divaricata*, ensuring a continuous supply of goods.
Mu Chunfeng bought this herb in order to cultivate his own spirit insect—the Gold-Eating Insect.
Although the Gold-Eating Insects primarily devour the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the five metals, if they are fed with mature Rainbow Grass, their ferocity will be unleashed, causing them to devour each other and thus greatly accelerating their reproduction.
"Good job, you did a great job."
Mu Chunfeng praised him and then instructed, "During my seclusion, you will continue to feed these Gold-Eating Insects with the Rainbow Grass and spirit ore."
After saying that, he flipped his hand and took out a jade token, handing it to Yanli: "This is a restriction token to control them. It contains my divine sense restriction and essence blood aura. With it, these gold-devouring insects will not accidentally harm you."
Yanli took the jade token with both hands, carefully put it away, and then asked softly, "Is Young Master going into seclusion now?"
Mu Chunfeng nodded, his gaze slightly lowered: "Now that everything has been arranged, I plan to go into seclusion for a while to prepare for the future."
At this point, he seemed to remember something and changed the subject, asking, "By the way, has that piece of Heavenly Thunder Bamboo successfully fallen into the hands of my Junior Brother Han?"
He had previously instructed Yanli to indirectly transfer the section of Thunder Bamboo he obtained from Ziling to Han Li through a secret channel.
Because Han Li is naturally suspicious and cautious, if I were to give it to him voluntarily, it would inevitably arouse his suspicion if I tried to take the 'Golden Thunder Bamboo' from him in the future.
Upon hearing this, Yanli chuckled softly and replied gently, "Young Master, this matter has naturally been taken care of."
"Speaking of which, this Senior Han is truly extremely cautious."
A strange light flashed in Yanli's eyes as she recounted, "Back then, I smuggled that piece of Thunder Bamboo into a spirit wood shop he frequented. When Senior Han first saw it, he managed to resist the urge to buy it. Instead, he went to several large shops in the market, subtly inquiring about the origin of the Thunder Bamboo."
Upon hearing this, Mu Chunfeng raised an eyebrow and gave her a slightly probing look.
Yanli met his gaze, smiled knowingly, and continued with a touch of composure in her eyes:
"However, I was prepared in advance and made arrangements with the shopkeepers to respond according to the young master's instructions. I only said that Thunder Bamboo occasionally appears in the Chaotic Star Sea, and even a few Ten-Thousand-Year Golden Thunder Bamboo have appeared, but they were all snatched up by Nascent Soul stage monsters. Moreover, I specifically instructed them to speak vaguely and ambiguously, and to treat it all as hearsay. If they spoke in too much detail, I'm afraid that Senior Han would become suspicious."
"Hehe, well done. Just let him know a little bit."
Mu Chunfeng smiled with satisfaction after hearing this.
"My junior brother Han is indeed meticulous. And this lie can only fool him for a while."
His eyes flickered slightly, and his tone revealed a certainty: "But this is enough for now. By the time he forms his Golden Core and truly comes into contact with the secrets of the Golden Thunder Bamboo, my plan will have already been successfully completed."
Mu Chunfeng didn't say much about the deeper calculations involved, simply waving his hand dismissively.
Upon hearing this, Yanli simply smiled gently and did not ask him what his intentions were.
She knew in her heart that there were some things she shouldn't inquire about. As a subordinate, it was enough for her to do her job well.
Afterwards, Mu Chunfeng instructed Yanli to work well at Miaoyin Sect and also gave her some instructions on finding Wen Siyue.
Having explained everything, Mu Chunfeng did not linger any longer and turned to enter the cultivation chamber.
With a rumbling sound, the heavy stone door closed, completely sealing off the cave, leaving only Yanli bowing and watching them leave in the hall.
