50: Chapter 50: The Feast at Spirit Beast Mountain!

After subduing the master and Disciple pair, Zhao Changsheng also let out a sigh of relief. He had finally found someone who could repair the Teleportation Array.

Otherwise, trying to repair it by himself would have been no easy task.

As for whether Elder Sansheng would betray him, Zhao Changsheng would take ample precautions, not giving the elder any chance to do so.

After returning to Yellow Maple Valley with Zhao Changsheng, the master and Disciple pair were quite happy.

Firstly, the cultivation environment was different; secondly, they had finally found a place to settle down and establish themselves; thirdly, Xin Ruyin's Physique could be temporarily alleviated, especially since Zhao Changsheng had given each of them a wisp of the Fallen Heart Flame's seed fire.

However, this seed fire was not to aid their cultivation, but to control their life and death.

Firstly, Xin Ruyin was unsuited for cultivation due to the limitations of her Physique; secondly, Elder Sansheng was too old and also unsuited for further cultivation—no matter how much he cultivated, there was basically no chance of him reaching Foundation Establishment; thirdly, absolute trust had not yet been established between them. Under such circumstances, unless Zhao Changsheng's head had been slammed in a door, he would absolutely not use the Fallen Heart Flame's seed fire to help them Cultivate.

Elder Sansheng's attainments in Formations were indeed as he himself had claimed, belonging to the level of a Great Master.

In just half a day, he provided Zhao Changsheng with an extremely comprehensive repair method.

However, the Materials required for the repair gave Zhao Changsheng a bit of a headache, as they were quite difficult to obtain. But there was ultimately a way, it just required a bit more time—this was nothing to Zhao Changsheng, as he now had plenty of time to spare.

Thus, he began collecting the Materials to repair the Teleportation Array, while also forbidding Xin Ruyin and her master from leaving his Immortal Cave, not allowing them to go out at all.

This was to avoid drawing the attention of other Sect members, which was also a point of concern and caution for Zhao Changsheng.

As for Zhao Changsheng's method of searching for Materials, it was actually very simple: he went to find the Sect Head.

Council Hall

"Junior Brother, the Materials you require are truly troublesome. I'm afraid gathering them all in a short time won't be easy. I hope you can understand."

After hearing the purpose of Zhao Changsheng's visit, the Sect Head also had a headache. However, he did not refuse Zhao Changsheng's request or the Materials he wanted, only saying that it would take time.

This was not some delaying tactic; it genuinely required considerable time to gather these Materials.

"I understand, Junior Brother. Time is not an issue. As long as the Materials are gathered, nothing else is of great importance." Regarding the Sect Head's explanation, Zhao Changsheng had long anticipated it. He showed no surprise or anger, simply nodding to indicate his understanding.

"It's good that you understand, Junior Brother. However, most of these Materials seem to be used in Formations. Could it be that Junior Brother is still studying Formations?" The Sect Head also breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned and pressed further. After all, having lived for over a hundred years, he had some understanding of all aspects of the cultivation arts and could naturally discern that these Materials were mostly used in Formations.

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from you, Senior Brother. That's indeed the case. Rest assured, Senior Brother, I will not become obsessed with it. I merely wish to find some Materials to experiment and see if I can refine a Formation. If I can truly refine one, it would be sufficient proof that my talent in Formations is also quite good. This would be useful for future travels, exploring ancient ruins, and the like. Moreover, I will not delay my own cultivation." While admitting it, Zhao Changsheng continued to explain.

"It's good that you understand, Junior Brother. For you now, the most important thing is cultivation; nothing is more important than that. By the way, the matter with the imperial palace has been handled. Junior Brother need not worry about it anymore." Hearing Zhao Changsheng's admission, although the Sect Head's frown deepened, he changed the subject.

"Is that so? Since it has been resolved, then I naturally won't inquire further. I was also worried that the royal family might affect our Seven Sects, which is why I joined forces with you, Senior Brother, to resolve the royal family's issue." Upon hearing this, Zhao Changsheng was quite surprised, not expecting the matter to be resolved so quickly. After all, this was a troublesome affair because it involved all Seven Sects of Yue Country. If even one Sect intentionally caused trouble, resolving it would have been very difficult. Fortunately, none of the Seven Sects of Yue Country actively sought trouble and were quite cooperative.

"Besides this matter, there's another thing I must discuss with you, Junior Brother. You must have heard of the Immortal Ascension Assembly, right?" The Sect Head changed the subject again, which surprised Zhao Changsheng—after all, this matter had nothing to do with him. Given his current status, he had no need to concern himself with this. This was something for the administrators and leaders of each Sect to worry about; it had nothing to do with Foundation Establishment Stage Disciples like him. Normally, they wouldn't need to get involved either; their main task was cultivation, especially for someone like Zhao Changsheng, whom the Sect would spare no effort to help Cultivate. So, the Sect Head bringing this up truly piqued Zhao Changsheng's curiosity.

"I naturally know of it, but this matter seems to have nothing to do with me, right?" Zhao Changsheng voiced his confusion.

"This time, the Immortal Ascension Assembly is being held in Lanzhou, which is Spirit Beast Mountain's territory. And they hope you can go there because they have a Spirit Beast that is difficult to control, but it has always been quite fond of Cultivators with a Heavenly Spiritual Root. So, they hope you can go to Spirit Beast Mountain and take a look." The Sect Head stated the reason—Spirit Beast Mountain wanted his help.

Upon hearing this reason, Zhao Changsheng's face instantly turned extremely strange. He had heard of such temperamental Spirit Beasts; it wasn't considered particularly odd in the Cultivation World. But this time, the invitation came from Spirit Beast Mountain.

Others might not know, but he was well aware: this Spirit Beast Mountain was actually the Spirit Control Sect, and the Spirit Control Sect was one of the Six Demonic Sects of the Tianluo Kingdom, ranked second among them. And in a few years, these Six Demonic Sects would move against the Yue Country Cultivation World.

Under such circumstances, Spirit Beast Mountain's invitation was definitely ill-intentioned. To put it bluntly, it was a complete Feast at Hongmen.

So, Zhao Changsheng directly shook his head and refused: "I think it's best not to go. After all, the most important thing for me right now is cultivation. I don't wish to concern myself with external matters. And to be frank with you, Senior Brother, I always feel that Spirit Beast Mountain harbors ill intentions. It is, after all, the second-ranked Sect in our Yue Country. Could it be that they have no other Cultivators with a Heavenly Spiritual Root within their ranks?"
