19: Master and Apprentice

“Now, let’s discuss whether we should prepare for him.”

The Sect Master waved his hand, dispersing the text, and slowly said.

“This…” The Artifact Refining Elder hesitated for a moment and said, “Elder Li has tried several times before, but all ended in failure.

If…”

The meaning of his words was clear: previous attempts had not succeeded, and now that he was on the verge of death, it was likely just a waste of Spirit Medicine.

This was not about enmity, but about profit.

The Materials of Li Xiangyun were all extremely precious, and all were Materials for refining Grade 3 Medicinal Pills.

If he could succeed, that would be fine.

But the problem was, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had already lost confidence in Li Xiangyun.

The words of the Artifact Refining Elder immediately made the atmosphere on the scene turn strange.

After all, abandoning a Golden Core Elder was not an easy topic to discuss.

In response, Sun Ping immediately supported it.

After all, others might still hesitate due to profit, but he wished he could kill Li Xiangyun.

Two of the four Grand Elders had already expressed their stance, and the Elder of the General Affairs Pavilion immediately became anxious.

After all, among the many Elders, he and Li Xiangyun had the best relationship.

Thus, the Elder of the General Affairs Pavilion angrily said, “Sun Ping, Huang Dongsheng, are you speaking like humans?”

“Don’t forget Li Xiangyun’s identity; he is an Elder of my Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and he was severely injured because of the Sect.”

“If we abandon Elder Li today, does that mean you will also abandon others when you are severely injured?”

The Alchemy Pavilion Elder and the Artifact Refining Elder’s expressions changed slightly; this was also what they were worried about, as it would be their turn for the Extraterritorial Battlefield next time.

Immediately, the Elder of the General Affairs Pavilion turned to the Sect Master and pleaded, “Sect Master, I believe Elder Li. He would not speak unless he had a certain degree of confidence.”

Everyone fell silent, waiting for the Sect Master’s decision, only Sun Ping sneered mockingly,

“Heh, which time before did he not say he had confidence?”

The Elder of the General Affairs Pavilion did not retort, but continued to look at the Sect Master.

Seeing this, the Sect Master stood up, looked around, and said, “Li Xiangyun is, after all, an Elder of my Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and now that he has a request, it must be granted.”

“Elder Zhao, how many types of Spirit Medicine that Li Xiangyun requested does my Ten Thousand Swords Sect have?”

“Reporting to the Sect Master~” The Alchemy Pavilion Elder stood up and said, “There are still four types: ziyang mysterious ginseng, Dragon Flame Grass, Ice Phoenix Flower, and extremely yin wood.”

After hearing this, the Sect Master pondered, “Give him the Flame Grass and Ice Phoenix Flower!”

“You personally deliver them to him.”

“Yes!”

The Alchemy Pavilion Elder bowed and agreed.

Clearly, this was out of fear of wasting the Spirit Medicine, but also not wanting to dishearten Li Xiangyun.

After all, what if Li Xiangyun succeeded… Afterward, the Sect Master left.

Other Elders followed closely behind.

“Brother Li, this is all I can do to help you.”

“I hope you succeed.”

The Elder of the General Affairs Pavilion stood in the air, gazing into the distance with profound eyes.

At the same time, Sun Ping, who had returned to his residence, was furious.

He violently overturned the tables and chairs in the room, and said bitterly, “Damn Lin Ye, one day I will kill you too!”

The Lin Ye Sun Ping spoke of was the Elder of the General Affairs Pavilion; although he entered the Sect earlier than them, he was considered their peer.

It was just that Lin Ye chose to befriend Li Xiangyun, and held great contempt for the ill-intentioned Sun Ping.

“Who made Revered Master so angry?”

Just then, a beautiful woman with a charming expression walked in.

The woman had a graceful figure, dressed in a light red sheer long dress, her fair skin intermittently visible as she walked, exuding endless temptation.

The woman came to Sun Ping’s side, not stopping, and sat directly on Sun Ping’s lap, her slender, soft hand gently hooking his neck, the dazzling red adding a few more points of temptation to her jade-like hands.

“Why are you here?”

Sun Ping felt a slight stir below, and frowned.

“Of course, I missed Revered Master~” The woman exhaled a breath of orchid, her expression charming.

“What a vixen.”

Sun Ping cursed under his breath, and with a flip, he pressed the woman beneath him.

“Ah~”

Accompanied by a painful yet comfortable sound, only two sounds remained in the room.

After a while, Sun Ping asked again, “Speak, what is it?”

The woman lay lazily on Sun Ping’s chest, her slender fingers drawing circles as she said, “I heard that Ice Peak Zhenren is going to give a lecture, and the entire Southern Barbarian Province has been shaken by it.”

“Heh~” Sun Ping sneered. Although he and Li Xiangyun were at odds, he still highly acknowledged his strength.

Therefore, he could only mock, “He’s almost dead, yet he still has the leisure to give a lecture?”

“I heard that as long as someone can offer these Spirit Medicine, Ice Peak Zhenren can fulfill one request from that person.”

The woman said, taking out a handkerchief.

Sun Ping looked, and indeed, it was identical to what he had seen in the main hall before.

“What?” Sun Ping’s expression changed, he suddenly stood up, his face fluctuating between clear and overcast, “Could it be that he really has confidence?”

“No, I absolutely cannot let him succeed!” A cold glint flashed in Sun Ping’s eyes, and he sneered, “Since he wants to hold a lecture ceremony, then I, as his Senior Brother, naturally must also present a gift.”

“It’s a pity I have to go to Tianyun Cave tomorrow, so I cannot go personally.”

Saying that, Sun Ping looked at the woman, “You go and find Chaoyang later, I have something to tell him.”

“Yes.” The woman nodded in agreement, and began to put on her clothes.

Unlike Li Xiangyun, who disliked taking Disciples, Sun Ping had a total of six Disciples.

Among them, the woman was named Jiang Menghuai, and she was Sun Ping’s fourth Disciple.

As for the person Sun Ping wanted to find, his name was Shao Chaoyang, a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator, and he was Sun Ping’s first Disciple… A moment later.

The woman arrived in front of an Immortal Cave, and before she could knock, she saw the door suddenly open.

A handsome and dashing young man walked out, and said joyfully, “Menghuai, why are you here?”

Unlike her previous charm, the woman at this time wore a simple long dress, exuding a coldness that kept people at a distance, “Revered Master summoned you!”

Saying that, she had already turned and left.

The young man’s expression stiffened, but he quickly returned to normal, smiling and continuously talking about something beside the woman.

Afterward, the two arrived together at Sun Ping’s Immortal Cave.

“Revered Master!”

After a simple bow, the two stood still, waiting for Sun Ping to speak.

“Mm~” Sun Ping responded faintly, then said, “I summoned you now because I want you to go to Purple Cloud City…”

After hearing Sun Ping’s plan, the young man’s expression turned serious, and he quickly responded, “Yes!”

“Revered Master.” Just then, the woman at the side hesitated for a moment and said, “This Disciple also wishes to go.”

“Oh?” Sun Ping was a bit confused, but didn’t think much of it, “Since you also want to go, then go~”

“It will also be good to have someone to look out for Chaoyang.”

“Yes, thank you, Revered Master!”

“Chaoyang, you go first. Your Revered Master and Menghuai still have some matters to discuss.”

“Yes.” Although the young man was a bit hesitant, he still bowed and said, “This Disciple takes his leave.”

Once the young man had left, Sun Ping’s eyes held a hint of lust as he looked at the woman.
