Even Though It Didn't Have Crap To Do With Him

At the peak of the mountain in the early morning, a cool breeze blew.

The pine trees on the mountaintop swayed gently with the wind, making a rustling sound.

After a while, Feng Qi and Ye Yuntian arrived together.

When Ye Yuntian saw Chen Qing, he reached out and patted Chen Qing's shoulder. "Has Xiao Zhong been causing trouble for you recently?"

Chen Qing said, "We haven't had much contact all this time."

Ye Yuntian said, "That's good. If he dares to mess around, I'll teach him a lesson."

"By the way, Sister Qingshuang has always been forced to stay at home by the spirit plant elder, and was not allowed to go out. When you have time, bring her out more often to relax."

Chen Qing felt a little awkward. "Okay."

Everyone laughed when they saw Chen Qing's awkward expression.

After teasing Chen Qing, the 12 hall masters gathered in groups of twos and threes to discuss some matters.

Gongsun Xiu also asked curiously, "Junior Brother Chen, how many spirit ginsengs can the spirit plant garden produce this year?"

Chen Qing said, "It's my first time planting it too. I'm not too sure. I won't know until it grows up."

Gongsun Xiu said, "I saw from the mountain that it's growing very well. With this spirit ginseng field, we can nurture more people."

'Bruh, that's for sure. I'm the one who has the closest contact with you now. Without the spirit ginseng you make your wine of, why would you need so many cultivators to cultivate Wine Gu?'

Everyone discussed endlessly until the gray-robed great elder arrived. Only then did they follow him into the meeting hall.

Gongsun Xiu was worried that Chen Qing would not know where to sit, since it was his first time participating in a meeting, so he pulled Chen Qing to sit beside him.

Wu Yi, the vice hall master of the cultivation hall, was not dissatisfied with this, and sat on the other side of Chen Qing.

Li He stood behind Chen Qing like the other disciples.

The solemn-looking grand elder picked up his teacup and took a sip. He sat in the middle seat. "You guys can talk. Don't worry about me. I was sent by the mountain lord to oversee the meeting."

Chen Qing originally thought that Ye Yuntian would be the first to speak, but he did not expect Feng Qi to be the first one instead. "According to the exact news, a few wild Gu insects have appeared in the Dawning Moon Lake near Lotus Cave."

Gongsun Xiu and Wu Yi were clearly not very interested in this matter. Chen Qing thought that they were both from the production faculty, and that was why they didn't intend to speak.

Shen Ao said, "Lotus Cave has come to my Carefree Mountain many times to cause trouble. We cannot let them obtain these wild Gu insects so easily this time!"

With a dark expression, Feng Qi said, "Currently, many martial uncles who have gone out to travel in order to break through haven't returned. It's not the right time to start a large-scale war!"

Shen Ao said, "Isn't it just snatching a few Gu insects? I can just send a few disciples from the Hall of War Affairs in disguise."

Feng Qi and Shen Ao quarreled intensely, but Gongsun Xiu and Wu Yi sat still, and did not move at all.

Gongsun Xiu even picked up his teacup, and cupped his hands at Chen Qing. Chen Qing also picked up his teacup and nodded slightly. He wet his lips, but did not drink it.

He was not used to eating and drinking in unfamiliar places.

In the end, the matter was sealed and suppressed. Shen Ao was obviously very unhappy. He flicked his sleeves and left.

It seemed like the discussion this time was for nothing…

Chen Qing from the spirit plant hall and people from the cultivation hall were just watching the show and drinking tea…

Everyone parted in a bad mood, and Chen Qing went on duty as usual.

At night, Chen Qing was cultivating when he heard a knock on the door. He opened the door, and saw Feng Qi and Ye Yuntian.

Ye Yuntian smiled, and said, "Junior Brother, we're here. Aren't you going to invite us in?"

Chen Qing hurriedly led the two of them in and served tea.

Feng Qi held a jar in his hand. It seemed to be quite important.

Ye Yuntian took a sip of tea. "Senior Brother Feng, tell me your plan."

Feng Qi introduced, "This is the plan. We are going to send five people at the seventh level of Qi Refining from the Hall of War Affairs, led by the vice hall master of Shadow Hall, Junior Sister Feng Qiao.

"After the disciples of Lotus Cave capture all those wild Gu insects, we will cover our faces and kill them on the way!

"Then, I'll bring the disciples of the Shadow Hall to receive them."

Chen Qing was shocked. He suddenly realized that this was the first time he had come into contact with this true cultivation world.

These two fellows were really evil!

During the day, Feng Qi was the one who took the lead in objecting. When he came at night, he had already formulated a plan!

Ye Yuntian handed Chen Qing a piece of paper. "Junior Brother Chen, if you agree to this matter, draw a circle on this piece of paper. If not, draw a cross."

Then, he pointed at the earthen jar in Feng Qi's hand.

No wonder Gongsun Xiu and Wu Yi acted as if nothing had happened. The real meeting was actually held at night.

Chen Qing held the note, and asked, "What are the cultivation levels of those Lotus Cave disciples?"

Feng Qi revealed an appreciative gaze. "Four at the fifth level of Qi Refining and one at the sixth level."

Chen Qing asked, "Is it a little unsafe?"

Feng Qi said, "Feng Qiao is already at the eighth level of Qi Refining. With her leading the team, it should be safer."

Chen Qing thought for a moment, and went to the study. He ground the ink, and finally drew a circle.

In any case, he was not the one who went. Moreover, these bastards from the Lotus Cave were really inhumane. They should be suppressed.

Folding the note, Chen Qing tossed it into the crock.

When Ye Yuntian left, he said to Chen Qing, "Junior Brother Chen, next time, it'll be your turn to take the earthen jar. I'll call you then."

It turned out that it was interesting to take turns with this earthen jar.

"Take care, Senior Brothers."

After the two of them left in the night, Chen Qing secretly thought that Shen Ao should be a bait thrown out by Feng Qi and Ye Yuntian. They made him show extreme disgust for the Lotus Cave and attract the assassination of the Lotus Cave.

The meeting during the day was probably just to lure out a spy.

This was the cruel world of cultivation, so it was extremely important to never let your enemies know what you were thinking.

"Interesting!"

Even though it didn't have crap to do with him.

After putting down this thought, Chen Qing drew his sword, and began to practice his ultimate move again.

On the ninth day of the sixth month, Chen Qing had just arrived at the spirit plant hall when he received a secret letter from Ye Yuntian. He read it alone in the spirit plant hall.

Ye Yuntian wanted him to prepare the medicine for injuries.

It seemed that the plan had been approved.

It was better to spend all the money tonight lest it was too difficult to leave the mountain when the Lotus Cave found out in the future and came to take revenge.

Sweeping a glance at the words "burn after reading," Chen Qing stood up and went out. He threw the secret letter into the stove in the spirit plant hall to boil water, and only left after seeing that it had burned to ashes.

At night, Chen Qing went down the mountain, and booked a private room near a dark alley in the Bright Moon Building next door to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. He asked the servants to go out and let him drink alone.

After drinking two glasses of wine, Chen Qing saw that there was no one in the dark alley. He immediately turned into fog and flew out of the window. When he landed, he was already dressed in a black robe.

Fog Gu was truly a treasure!

After walking around twice and arriving at the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, Chen Qing had a rough understanding of the number of materials needed to upgrade Gu insects.

Chen Qing said, "Give me 20 fangs of demonic wolves and 30 drops of spirit dew!"

After spending 450 spirit stones, Chen Qing returned to the dark alley, and listened to the movements in the Bright Moon Building. His private room was extremely quiet.

He looked around, and saw that there was no one around. With a leap, he turned into a mist and entered the window. When he sat down again, he was already wearing the robe of the hall master of the spirit plant hall.

After eating hastily, Chen Qing returned to the mountain.

With these materials, Fog Gu could advance to rank four and Sword Gu to rank seven.

The only regret was that the spirit stones were gone.

That was good too. He could stop thinking about it and save himself from the temptation to go down the mountain to spend money.
