After getting acquainted with the Eight Girls, Cheng Ling asked Haitang and Shaoyao to temporarily stop what they were doing and invited them to go into the attic to talk. He still planned to learn more about Yang Hongqiu.
After getting along for a few days, the two girls knew that Cheng Ling was easy to talk to and were not nervous. They each found a wooden chair and sat down, waiting for him to ask questions.
Cheng Ling then asked: "Haitang, how is the master's temperament on weekdays? Shaoyao, you and Anthurium have been waiting in front of her. You should know more. Don't worry. Just speak out boldly when you think of it."
Shaoyao thought for a while and then said: "It's okay on weekdays. Master treats us very well and never loses his temper. But sometimes he doesn't pay attention to anything. Occasionally he will give us guidance on how to practice when he is in a good mood. "
"Huh? When did his headache begin?"
"It's been there for as long as we can remember. It makes me writhe all over in pain every time. It's really distressing."
"How did you get to Lei Ling Peak? Were you so advanced when you met her?"
"Yes, in fact, we are all orphans. We were all picked up by the master when he went out for training."
"Oh! One more thing, does the Holy Master treat the master well? Is there any relationship between them?"
The two women looked at each other and hesitated to speak, but they were speechless.
Cheng Ling encouraged: "Don't be afraid. I just understand some of the situation and speak out boldly when I think of it."
Haitang sighed softly and said: "Originally, the Holy Master treated the master very well and treated her like a daughter. He also wanted to bring Master Feng Peak and the master together to become Taoist couples, but for some reason, the master just refused. For this reason There was also a big fuss at the Holy Lord Peak. Since then, Master has been staying at Leiling Peak and rarely goes to the Holy Lord Peak."
Cheng Ling's heart moved and asked: "What is the relationship between Feng Peak Master and Holy Master?"
"There is no special relationship. It's just that among the seven peak masters, besides Master, Master Feng Peak is the strongest and the youngest. The Holy Master naturally wants to bring them together. In fact, we all think that Master Feng Peak is very good to the master. I don’t know why she doesn’t want to.”
Cheng Ling was silent, thinking in his mind. It seemed that only the three of them knew the whole story. This is considered Master Cheap's private matter, and there is no need to get to the bottom of it. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Is there any inconvenience for you when you are at Lei Ling Peak on weekdays?"
The two women were at a loss and couldn't understand what Cheng Ling meant for a while.
He then said: "Or let me put it another way, how do the disciples from other peaks in the sect feel about you?"
Haitang's eyes dimmed and he said: "Except for the disciples from Fengling Peak, who are quite polite, the rest of them are dismissive of us. Firstly, our cultivation level is too low, and secondly, except for the master of Fengling Peak, the rest The peak masters of several peaks have gradually become alienated since the master made a big fuss at the Holy Master Peak, and they almost never come to Lei Ling Peak."
"And senior brother, you should also know that in order to control the head ailment, the master tried every means to obtain immortal crystals, so naturally he tried to take advantage of them. Therefore, all the peaks keep a respectful distance from us from Lei Ling Peak."
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly, this situation was more unbearable than imagined. It's not that he wants to gain any power within the Five Spirits Sect, but if he wants to survive well in a sect, he must not act too unconventional. Lei Lingfeng's disciples are weak. If something unexpected happens,
Anyway, every peak will turn a blind eye and care whether you live or die!
It seems that we need to find ways to change the current situation as soon as possible. First of all, the first step is to change the financial situation in the peak. The available financial resources of a main peak are only tens of thousands of immortal crystals. This is a terrible number and cannot guarantee the cultivation of everyone in the peak.
However, it is too slow to rely on cultivating herbs by yourself at present and then refining them when they are mature. The other two ways to earn Immortal Crystals, completing quests and gaining experience, are not very effective. With my current level of cultivation and mastery of spells, I don't know if I can complete those tasks, let alone experience.
All three methods are impractical, so we need to open up new ideas. How can one collect a sum of Immortal Crystals in a short period of time to use the entire mountain’s available financial resources?
Cheng Ling felt a headache. She was too memorized. She had a master who had to help her manage her finances. Unexpectedly, the other party spent money like water, and the sect's annual salary of more than ten million was spent in a blink of an eye, with only a few tens of thousands left. His brows were furrowed, and he was thinking hard about countermeasures.
Haitang and Shaoyao sat quietly aside, not daring to take a breath for fear of disturbing his train of thought.
After thinking for a long time, Cheng Ling finally thought of a feasible solution. He asked the two women, "You said Master Feng Peak has always been very kind to the master. Does he come to Lei Ling Peak often?"
"He used to come often, but every time the master would avoid seeing me, and over time he stopped coming."
"Well, what do you think of Fengling Peak's financial resources? They should have a lot of fairy crystals, right?"
"It's not clear here, but in addition to the annual salary paid by the sect, the other peaks have additional income, which should not be small."
Cheng Ling nodded silently. From the Seven Peaks of the Five Spirit Sect, looking at this posture, Fenglingfeng could only reach out and pull Leilingfeng. It was decided that he would go to Fenglingfeng to find out the details first.
Having made up his mind, he sent the two women away. Carrying Yang Hongqiu's Peak Master's token in his arms, he headed straight towards Wuling Peak.
When I arrived at the Wuling Peak Library, I showed my token and walked in smoothly. The collection of books here is much larger than that of Lei Lingfeng. Each of the Five Elements spells has its own supporting skills. But Cheng Lingzhi is not here right now, and he has no time to practice thunder spells so far, so he has no energy to take care of other things.
His purpose was very simple, just to read books on Alchemy and Formation. Therefore, the search speed is very fast. It was a pity that there were very few books on these two aspects in the library. He only found one book on alchemy, and the content in it was also very simple. However, he found the recipe for Huanyang Dan.
Feeling helpless, I can only place my hope on the Holy Lord Peak.
Although the Holy Lord Peak has a separate name, it is located above the Wuling Peak. The entire mountain is divided into two parts. The upper part is called the Holy Lord Peak. It is the place where the Holy Lord practices and handles the trivial matters of the sect. It represents the highest power of the Five Spirit Sect.
The lower half is called Wuling Peak. However, it is an unwritten rule that all the successive heads of the Wuling Sect came from Wuling Peak.
Getting to the Holy Peak is not that easy. Cheng Ling left the Wulingfeng Library Pavilion and climbed up the stairs. When we came to the junction of the upper and lower parts, there were several disciples guarding it. Seeing him, he stepped forward to stop him and said, "Stop here, comer. Which peak are you from? You are not allowed to enter easily without the call of the Holy Lord!"
Cheng Ling bowed slightly, took out the Peak Master's token from the ring, and said: "Cheng Ling, a direct disciple of Lei Ling Peak, was entrusted by the Peak Master and wanted to go to the Library Pavilion.
one look. "
The disciple took the token and asked doubtfully, "Did Peak Master Yang really ask you to come?"
"Brother, this token can't be fake, right? Do you think I could have gotten the token in her hand if the master hadn't asked for it?"
The disciple thought for a moment, murmured softly, and said: "It's strange. Didn't you say you would never come to the Holy Master Peak again? Why did you send a disciple here again? Well, this Peak Master's token is real. Go in, but You can only stay in the library, and you are not allowed to move around without permission."
Cheng Ling had a very good ear. Although the previous few words were spoken softly, they were heard very clearly. He thought to himself that something unpleasant must have happened between the master and the Holy Master. I wasn't familiar with the disciple about what exactly it was, so it was hard to ask.
No matter, let's look for the elixir first, then he agreed, took back the peak master's token, and went straight to the library.
The library pavilion of the Holy Lord Peak is much taller than that of the Wuling Peak. The whole pavilion is very exquisite, with nine floors in total, and each floor has a corresponding kind of book collection. According to the introduction outside the library pavilion, the first floor is filled with miscellaneous books, such as unofficial history, sect allusions, alchemy weapon arrays, etc.
The second level is the gold system's exercises, spells, and martial arts, the third level is the wood system, and so on, until the ninth level. The books and inheritance jade slips on each floor were neatly numbered, making it much easier for Cheng Ling to find them.
The primary target is the recipe for the Nine Turns of Resurrection Pill, as well as the corresponding Dan Dao inheritance. At least in the star world, my classification of alchemy levels has always been vague. After searching for a while, I finally found three inheritances, two books and a jade slip.
Originally, as Cheng Ling, there was no way to take these inheritances out, but who allowed him to have Yang Hongqiu's Peak Master token on him. With it, it is like Yang Hongqiu is here in person. As the master of Lei Ling Peak, you can take as much of the inheritance in the library pavilion as you want, even in the Holy Lord Peak.
Cheng Ling didn't even intend to watch, and directly put the three inheritances into the storage ring. I have found a book on alchemy. Next, let’s take a look at the formation. There may be unexpected gains.
Sure enough, after looking for a stick of incense for a while, I also found two jade slips of the array inheritance, and pocketed them again. But he refused to give up and continued walking upward. It's not easy to borrow the Peak Master's token, so it can't be wasted easily. Since this is the most high-end library of the Five Spirit Sect, let's take a look to see if there are any thunder-type skills.
He went directly to the eighth floor and looked at a room full of thunder skills and spell training experiences. He picked up a book and flipped through it. After reading a little, he put it back, chose another book, and continued to read.
In this way, after reading five or six books in a row, Cheng Ling was quite disappointed. These thunder-type exercises were good if they were passed down well, but they were a little worse than those on Lei Ling Peak, at least not recorded by the unscrupulous master himself. Those thoughts are more realistic, complementing the True Thunder Control Technique, almost an interpreted version of it.
If you want to practice, you should follow the experience of the beautiful master, so that you can go faster. As for the experience of practicing the thunder spells in front of me, it can be the most supplementary and reference after the successful practice of the true art of controlling thunder.
Thinking of this, I don't plan to stay any longer. The relationship between the master and the holy master is very delicate, so it is best not to stay for too long.
He turned around and left, but instead of returning to Lei Ling Peak, he turned to the right at the fork in the road and walked towards Fengling Peak!
