376: The Crisis of the Giant Mammoth Sect

They all greeted him, but Qin Feng looked awkward and didn't respond.

Because...

He didn't seem to know these people himself. Turning his head to look at Han Tiezhu, he also had a bewildered expression, clearly not recognizing them either.

The two quickly arrived outside the Whirlwind River Valley Formation and only then discovered that the people on these flying artifacts were divided into three groups.

"Everyone, you've come to my Netherworld Soul Hall because..."

"Fellow Daoist Qin is indeed as young as the rumors say!"

Just then, a gray-robed Old man closest to Qin Feng spoke. He had a relaxed expression and reached into his sleeve to pull out a small white dragon, about three inches long, emitting a faint glow.

This small dragon was enveloped in a ray of light, and no matter how it moved, it couldn't pass through that layer of light. It was clearly a Spiritual Vein of no low quality. If placed on the ground, it would immediately transform into a Spiritual Vein containing countless spiritual stones and from which spiritual stones could be mined!

Seeing this, Qin Feng became even more confused.

He had no prior contact with these people, and the Netherworld Soul Hall basically stayed out of worldly affairs. Surely no one would come just to curry favor with him?

While Qin Feng was confused, the gray-robed Old man voluntarily said:

"This old man is Jin Chengshan, a member of Golden Light Pavilion. During the Five Great Immortal Sects selection, I had to be grateful to Fellow Daoist Qin for showing mercy to those from my Golden Light Pavilion. Coming here today, firstly, is to thank Fellow Daoist Qin for his mercy that day. Secondly, thinking that my Golden Light Pavilion has never been able to establish any friendship with the Netherworld Soul Hall, I specifically came today to present a top-grade Spiritual Vein to express that my Golden Light Pavilion is willing to advance and retreat together with Fellow Daoist Qin in the future!"

As Jin Chengshan's voice fell, a green-robed Old man representing Qi Yuan Pavilion beside him also spoke. He also presented a top-grade Spiritual Vein and stated that he had come personally to collect the medicinal materials, because Purple Linger was right behind him now.

Besides Qi Yuan Pavilion, Flowing Cloud Sect from the Three Sects Six Pavilions also arrived, and they also presented a top-grade Spiritual Vein.

In the Cultivation World, the value of a top-grade Spiritual Vein is worth at least one million high-grade spiritual stones, and it is even a commodity with a price but no market. This is because the number of top-grade Spiritual Veins is limited. It takes at least hundreds of thousands of years for a single top-grade Spiritual Vein to form, and once it's mined out, it's very difficult to find another.

Having clarified the origins of these three groups, both Qin Feng and Tie Zhu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since you have come from afar, please come in and rest your feet before you leave."

When it came to fighting and killing, Qin Feng was not afraid of anyone, but when it came to the art of hosting guests, Qin Feng was truly unprofessional in those matters. He could only express his politeness as much as possible.

Sun Yaowen, the Ancestor of Qi Yuan Pavilion, said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Qin is indeed straightforward in the Great Dao, unlike us old fellows who beat around the bush. Then this old man won't be polite."

Jin Chengshan and Feng Sihai from Flowing Cloud Sect also smiled and said nothing, their eyes full of appreciation for Qin Feng.

After all, they came here to win over the relationship with the Netherworld Soul Hall. Let alone Qin Feng's simple and clear hospitality, even if it were just plain tea and simple meals, they would have to eat it as if it were delicacies from the mountains and seas!

Qin Feng opened the Formation and led everyone into it.

Chen Bingxue and Wen Xiaomei immediately came forward to greet him. Seeing Qin Feng's unpleasant expression, Wen Xiaomei quietly explained, "Hall Master, we already asked them just now and invited them in, but they insisted on waiting until you returned before coming in."

"Got it."

Qin Feng nodded.

When they entered the Formation and felt the rich Spirit Power filling the entire Whirlwind River Valley, Jin Chengshan, Sun Yaowen, Feng Sihai, and others all showed expressions of shock.

Sun Yaowen and Jin Chengshan's Qi Yuan Pavilion and Golden Light Pavilion both focused on doing business and didn't have much concept of the cultivation environment. However, Feng Sihai from Flowing Cloud Sect saw the extraordinary nature of this Whirlwind River Valley at a glance.

He exclaimed, "Fellow Daoist Qin is indeed the most rare monstrous talent in the Cultivation World in the past thousand years! Even the current density of Spirit Power in this Whirlwind River Valley is probably much richer than that of the Five Great Immortal Sects, isn't it?"

Sun Yaowen said sourly, "Now there are only four of the Five Great Immortal Sects left. If Hall Master Qin is willing, he can make the Five Great Immortal Sects history at any time!"

Jin Chengshan also immediately echoed, indicating that he and the Netherworld Soul Hall were on the same side.

Facing their flattery, Qin Feng just smiled slightly and didn't respond.

Although the three people present had been in high positions for a long time, the strength of their Sects was still too far behind forces with Immortal heritage. They might not even know that Sects with Immortal heritage could receive protection from Immortals in the future.

In a few more years, perhaps for every Great Ascension Stage Cultivator who ascends from a certain Sect, that many Immortals could return.

Destroying one Li Huo Immortal Sect was already out of necessity. If he were to destroy the remaining four Immortal Sects without absolute strength, he could completely change worlds to live...

After arriving at the Whirlwind River Valley, Qin Feng led them into the underground cave reception hall.

Wen Xiaomei and Chen Bingxue immediately got busy preparing food. Qin Feng accompanied them with casual pleasantries. As for Han Tiezhu, that guy disliked roundabout and hypocritical topics even more and had already slipped away to who knows where.

A moment later.

Qin Feng led Sun Yaowen and Purple Linger to the Netherworld Soul Hall's storeroom.

When he saw the mountains of medicinal materials, Sun Yaowen's eyes immediately revealed a look of shock. Even though he had prepared himself mentally before coming, he couldn't help but feel excited when he saw over a hundred thousand medicinal materials that were over a thousand years old with his own eyes.

It took a good while before Sun Yaowen finally spoke, "I apologize, Fellow Daoist Qin, this old man lost his composure."

"It's fine."

He excitedly rubbed his hands, then took out a storage bag of no low quality from his waist and offered it to Qin Feng with both hands: "Fellow Daoist Qin, please look at the spiritual stones first."

Taking the storage bag, he used his Divine Sense to examine it. A full fourteen million high-grade spiritual stones were piled inside the storage bag, like a small mountain, emitting an extremely rich Spirit Power.

These high-grade spiritual stones could be used as currency or as cultivation resources, which were more convenient and faster than absorbing the Spirit Power of heaven and earth.

Qin Feng nodded with a smile. It wasn't until this moment that Sun Yaowen took out a large cloth bag from his storage ring. This cloth bag was also a magic artifact. As Spirit Power was injected into it, it immediately produced a strong yet gentle suction force, absorbing all the medicinal materials piled in the warehouse into the cloth bag in just the blink of an eye.

Perhaps it was the pressure from his identity as an Ancestor, but Purple Linger didn't speak the entire time. It was only when Sun Yaowen was collecting the medicinal materials that she raised her head and had a brief exchange of glances with Qin Feng.

After Sun Yaowen finished collecting the medicinal materials, Qin Feng led the two towards the discussion hall. As they were about to enter the main door, Qin Feng said with a smile, "Senior Sun is a blessed person. It's a blessing to have someone as capable as Miss Ling'er within your Sect. The reason I, Qin Feng, am where I am today is entirely thanks to the transactions I've done with Miss Ling'er."

"Brother Qin, you are too kind. Just two days ago, I was saying that this girl was harsh in business and treated Fellow Daoist Qin unfairly."

Sun Yaowen responded with a smile. Just based on Qin Feng's words, he roughly understood in his heart how he should treat Purple Linger in Qi Yuan Pavilion in the future.

Arriving at the discussion hall.

Jin Chengshan and Feng Sihai had already gotten up and were planning to leave. Seeing Qin Feng return, Feng Sihai said with a hesitant expression, "Hall Master Qin, there's something I don't know if I should say."

"Sect Leader Feng, please speak freely."

"I heard that your relationship with Giant Elephant Sect was not shallow before, so this old man feels that I should still inform you about this matter."

A look of confusion appeared in Qin Feng's eyes, and he asked, "Did something happen to Giant Elephant Sect?"

"It is said that people from Azure Pine Pavilion have gathered a group of rogue Cultivators with no low cultivation base, planning to encircle and suppress Giant Elephant Sect to force them to hand over the Giant Elephant Divine Technique. And they already started two days ago. This old man originally thought Hall Master Qin knew about this matter..."
