Chapter 261: Top-Tier Experts Gather at Moon Embrace Sect, Entering the Grand Garden (Part 2)
"
"..."
Lin Fan: Yeah, right, I believe you.
He smiled, "So that's it. I didn't expect the Senior to have such a kind heart."
"Of course." Elder Six was an expert at lying, his face didn't change, and his heart didn't skip a beat, "I've always been careful not to harm even the smallest creatures, and I cherish even the lives of moths that fly into the lampshade..."
Hmm...
I won't tell you that I used to kill without batting an eye. Anyone who offended me would never be spared.
Action: Although I have no intention of killing innocent people, I will not tolerate those who provoke me.
It's true that I have a compassionate heart.
The sixth elder was pleased.
Although his face remained expressionless, his eyes narrowed slightly, indicating a hint of amusement.
Lin Fan could almost see the humor in the situation.
"Senior, you truly have a compassionate heart. I admire you, admire you."
At that moment, the former mascot, now a personal disciple of the Third Elder, arrived with news.
"Reporting..."
"The Sect Master of the Beast Control Sect and several elders have arrived."
"Quickly, please invite them in."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Don't forget the proper etiquette!"
"Remember to take them to the Spirit Beast Garden first."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Murong Pipa immediately left to carry out the order.
At that moment, the other mascots, Ye Changyi, Fang Kun, Pei Xiuqin, and others, arrived one after another.
"The Five Elements Gate."
"The Great Harmony Palace."
"The Spirit Sword Sect's elders have arrived."
"Quickly, please invite them all in! Remember to show them around and then bring them here!"
"Yes, Sect Master!"
They immediately took action.
The sixth elder observed all this with a raised eyebrow. "What's the meaning of this, Lin Sect Master?"
"Since they've arrived, why not invite them directly to discuss important matters? Why are you showing them around instead?"
"It's the proper way to treat guests."
"It's better to maintain good relations before continuing, isn't it?"
Lin Fan mentioned treating guests, but he didn't elaborate.
The sixth elder had just received a gift, so he couldn't question too much. He nodded lightly and didn't pursue the matter further.
...
On the other side.
The Sect Masters and elders of the Beast Control Sect, Five Elements Gate, Great Harmony Palace, and Spirit Sword Sect met outside the Moon Embrace Sect's mountain gate.
Except for Rao ZhiRuo and the others from the Spirit Sword Sect, everyone else was on guard upon seeing each other, almost to the point of hostility.
"How terrifying."
Jian Zi, who had followed, was speechless, sticking out his tongue.
Tri-Leaf was perched on his head! The little plant had grown again, able to survive outside the soil and grow by absorbing the primal energy of heaven and earth.
Its roots served as its legs, allowing it to run at incredible speeds.
It could even fly! However, it showed no interest in the situation, choosing to nap on Jian Zi's head.
Most of the Beast Control Sect's elders were in a foul mood.
The Chaos Heavenly Pig hadn't returned yet! Not only that, but it had gone to the Dan Pagoda and fought a battle, leaving them feeling exasperated.
The most frustrating part was that not only had the Chaos Heavenly Pig not returned, but the High Elder, Gao Guang, who had promised to bring it back, hadn't returned either.
This was simply outrageous!
But at this moment, with outsiders present, they couldn't show their true feelings.
They glared at each other, their faces dark with suspicion.
As for the Five Elements Gate and the Great Harmony Palace, they had no prior dealings with the Moon Embrace Sect. The Spirit Sword Sect, on the other hand, had no particular grudges or 'goodwill' towards the Beast Control Sect.
It was just normal caution and vigilance.
Of course, there was also a hint of dissatisfaction.
After all, they were competitors!
"Everyone."
Murong Pipa smiled warmly, "Please follow me."
"..."
...
Stepping into the Moon Embrace Sect.
The elders of the four sects were somewhat surprised.
"It's much better than we imagined."
Except for Jian Zi, the others were visiting the Moon Embrace Sect for the first time.
Previously, they had only heard rumors about the sect.
Therefore, their impression of the Moon Embrace Sect was based on hearsay.
Although they didn't think it was just an ordinary third-rank sect, they hadn't expected the sect to be so 'lively' on the inside.
The scenery was impressive!
At first glance, it even had the air of a 'corner of a first-rank sect'.
"Indeed."
"It's just that the territory is a bit small."
"If the territory could be ten times larger, and the number of people increased by tens or even hundreds of times, it would be considered a decent first-rank sect."
The elders of the four sects whispered among themselves, evaluating the Moon Embrace Sect.
After all, they were here to 'cooperate', and cooperation meant assessing each other's strength, a kind of examination.
The Spirit Sword Sect's elders, on the other hand, were relatively 'more composed'.
After all, their relationship with the Moon Embrace Sect was extraordinary, and their understanding was more thorough.
However, halfway through the tour, the elders of the Great Harmony Palace suddenly realized something was amiss.
"Hey, you few."
An elder from the Great Harmony Palace, dressed rather revealingly, spoke up, "This direction doesn't seem to lead the way. "Are you taking us to the main peak?"
"Where are you leading us?"
Murong Pipa turned around, neither hurried nor slow, neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "By the Sect Master's order, I'm taking you elders around to show our hospitality."
"..."
"What's there to see?"
"Yes, don't waste our time!"
"Hurry up and take us to the main peak."
"Indeed, lead us to the main peak quickly."
Murong Pipa's smile remained, "You've come from far away, and there's still much to see."
"Furthermore, this is a special request from our Sect Master. He said you would surely enjoy it, so please don't make things difficult for us juniors."
"..."
Rao ZhiRuo, the Sect Master of the Spirit Sword Sect, smiled and said, "Lead the way, then."
The elders of the other three sects: "..."
You have a point!
Everyone knew that the Spirit Sword Sect and the Moon Embrace Sect were practically one family. Since Jian Zi was almost like a member of the Moon Embrace Sect, it was only natural for you to give them face.
But we don't want to waste time, right?
I was about to lose my temper...
But since the Spirit Sword Sect is giving face, wouldn't I seem impolite if I lost my temper?
Besides...
Hey, there's no need to make things difficult for a mere disciple.
The mere Fourth Realm...
Oh well, it's just a waste of time.
They didn't say another word, feeling rather disinterested.
In their eyes, a Fourth Realm disciple was indeed nothing special.
Not to mention their own disciples, even ordinary inner disciples in the Fourth and Fifth Realms were not uncommon.
For someone of this age to only be in the Fourth Realm, it was clear that their talent was just average.
And their assessment wasn't wrong.
Plum Apricot and the other six indeed had unremarkable talents, and at best, they could be considered middle-grade.
Being able to break through to the Fourth Realm in just a few short years was still reliant on increasingly potent pills...
However, for Moon Embrace Sect, Plum Apricot and the others had remained loyal despite the difficult circumstances, proving their deep sense of loyalty and justice, and they were worthy of cultivation.
As long as they weren't hopelessly incompetent, they should be nurtured when the time came.
As for nurturing Celestial Pride...
That was Lin Fan's responsibility.
However, although most people no longer demanded it, there was someone in Great Harmony Palace who spoke in a strange tone, "Speaking of which, the Celestial Pride of Moon Embrace Sect is well-known to all."
"But after joining the sect, what we see is rather ordinary."
Plum Apricot wasn't annoyed and merely smiled slightly, "Senior, you flatter me."
"How can we juniors be ordinary?"
"Clearly, we are not."
The Great Harmony Palace elder was left speechless.
There was a sense of frustration, like punching a cotton ball with all one's might.
The others, however, couldn't help but look at Plum Apricot with newfound respect.
Such composure in the face of praise and insult, his future achievements would likely be impressive!
...
The four major sect members were communicating via divine sense transmission, privately chatting.
Beast Control Sect's conversation was the most heated.
"This direction... Sect Master, seems to be the location of Moon Embrace Sect's Spirit Beast Garden."
"Indeed!"
"Hmph, Moon Embrace Sect is really impatient. I can understand their eagerness to prove their strength and not be seen through by others, but they should also consider their audience."
"Bringing our Beast Control Sect's Sect Master and Elders to their so-called Spirit Beast Garden..."
"Pfft, does he want us to 'broaden our horizons'?"
"Haha, hilarious!"
The Elders discussed among themselves.
Elder Qu SiFei spoke in a low voice, "Don't do that, and don't forget, we're here to discuss cooperation."
"Later, we will be competing with these formidable rivals!"
"Therefore, even if we see something funny later, we must endure it."
"Do you understand?"
He scolded them sternly.
"That's true."
"The Sect Master speaks with reason, hahaha."
"You're laughing?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back, so I'll laugh first!"
"..."
"But speaking of which, Moon Embrace Sect is quite mysterious."
"Indeed, it's very mysterious. In other areas, except for places like seclusion chambers and disciple residences, they haven't set up formations to block divine sense probes. But for the Spirit Beast Garden, even we can't probe it in the slightest."
"Obviously, they value it greatly."
"But so what? No matter how much they value it, it's just that, how can it compare to our Beast Control Sect?"
"Remember, don't laugh!!!"
"..."
In the midst of their conversation, Plum Apricot turned around and said with a smile, "Seniors, ahead is the entrance to our sect's Spirit Beast Garden."
"It's embarrassing to say, but our sect has only recently developed, so... the Spirit Beast Garden is not very large, and the spirit beasts are not numerous or strong."
"We invited you here mainly to seek your advice, and I believe your valuable suggestions will greatly benefit our sect."
"..."
Upon hearing this, the Beast Control Sect members rolled their eyes.
"What's this? Trying to take advantage of our sect's techniques and experience for free? Dream on!"
"I won't say a word to them!"
But someone else said, "How foolish! This is an open strategy! They want us to provide them with strategies, so that Moon Embrace Sect can benefit and our sect will become more competitive!"
"Huh? Really?"
"Too cunning!"
Halfway through their discussion, the Great Harmony Palace elder suddenly stopped mid-sentence and stared blankly.
"Elder Qu?"
The other elders were puzzled.
Why did he suddenly stop talking? They looked at him curiously and saw that he was staring at a figure in the distance, a person wearing a raincoat, scattering spirit watermelon seeds and feeding chickens...
A large flock of chicks.
What's so interesting about that?
Still dazed? Just as they were wondering, the Great Harmony Palace elder took action, quickly striding forward towards the figure.
"Elder Qu?"
They were even more perplexed.
At that moment, Elder Qu's expression changed, and without a word, he hurriedly followed, moving so fast that his legs even left afterimages.
"What... is this?"
They were dumbfounded.
The members of the other three sects also looked at them with puzzled expressions, making them feel extremely embarrassed.
What a scene!
Just when it was their turn to show off and reap the benefits, they suddenly went mute and lost their composure?
Do we not care about face anymore?
Suddenly, someone noticed something amiss, "That's not right! That person, he seems to be Elder Gao!"
"Elder Gao?"
"Wait, let me take a closer look... Hey, it really does look like him!"
"What do you mean it looks like him? It is him!"
"Damn! Elder Gao disappeared without a trace, and every time we contacted him, he gave vague answers. Now, he's here feeding chickens?"
"We asked him to contribute to the Beast Control Sect, and he kept refusing. But now that he's at the Moon Embrace Sect, he's working so diligently?"
"Which sect's elder is he?"
"This is outrageous!"
The group couldn't stand it anymore and rushed forward.
The crowd was riled up!
They thought that the Grand Elder and the Sect Master, who had arrived first, would scold Elder Gao, but to their surprise, Qu SiFei and the others remained silent, not even glancing at Elder Gao.
They just squatted there like two stone statues, motionless, staring at the ground where the... chicks were!
"Elder Gao, what are you doing?"
They were perplexed.
But they couldn't help but question him.
Elder Gao, on the other hand, twisted and turned, his face filled with embarrassment and awkwardness.
"You still know embarrassment?"
"Speak, what exactly are you up to?"
"Which sect's elder are you?"
"This is unacceptable!"
"We are truly angry!"
"Is this how you handle matters?"
"Elder Gao, are you planning to desert the sect?"
They loudly questioned him.
The members of the other three sects followed from a distance, wondering what was going on. Suddenly, they heard the commotion and became interested, their initial boredom vanishing instantly.
"Hey, there's a show to watch?"
"That's not boring at all!"
They focused intently, and one of them even took out a bag of spirit watermelon seeds and started cracking them with a satisfying crunch.
"Hey, this..."
Elder Gao panicked, "Nonsense!"
"How could I possibly desert the sect?"
"I..."
"Not deserting the sect?" The elders from various sects smirked, "Then what are you doing here?"
"Quite the diligent one, aren't you?"
"Why aren't you this diligent in the sect? Always in seclusion?"
"You were always vague with your answers!"
"I think it's obvious..."
"Silence!"
Qu SiFei suddenly spoke up, scolding them, "Are you all blind?"
Elder Gao heaved a sigh of relief.
But the other elders' heads were buzzing with confusion.
What the hell?
You're not scolding Elder Gao, but us?
What did we do wrong?
"Sect Master, this... isn't this a bit too biased towards Elder Gao?"
Qu SiFei's lips twitched.
The Grand Elder gradually calmed down and said in a deep voice, "I don't know if the Sect Master is biased towards Elder Gao, but you all are truly blind."
"Grand Elder, even you?" The elders' mouths twisted in disbelief.
Seeing this, the members of the other three sects became even more excited.
Wow!
There's more to this?
This show is getting more and more interesting!
Their expressions were fascinating.
At this moment, the Grand Elder of the Beast Control Sect covered his forehead with one hand.
Qu SiFei, annoyed, said, "In the future, when you're outside, don't claim to be an elder of the Beast Control Sect. Our Sect Master can't afford to be associated with you!"
"Huh?"
These words were too serious, everyone was shocked.
Only those in the know, like Murong Pipa, Elder Gao, and Sword Son, nodded silently.
"What?"
"Can't you see that these chicks... are not ordinary?"
The Grand Elder scolded them, frustrated by their lack of insight.
"What else could they be?"
An elder from the Beast Control Sect muttered, "Chicks? What's so impressive about them? They're just useless limbs..."
"Exactly."
The eccentric elder from the Great Harmony Palace chimed in, "I agree."
"A chicken sees everything as a chicken!" The Grand Elder of the Beast Control Sect couldn't help but retort.
"You!"
The members of the Great Harmony Palace instantly became furious.
Damn...
Although the Great Harmony Palace was indeed involved in the flesh trade, how dare he belittle us like this?
Qian Yinyang, the Palace Master of the Great Harmony Palace, waved his hand to stop the enraged elders and frowned, "Fellow Daoist, your words are a bit too much."
"Today, if you don't give a reasonable explanation, both sides will have to settle this."
"You say it's not a chick, then what is it?"
The Grand Elder was fearless, "Settle this?"
He sneered and then said, "Of course, they're chicks. Who doesn't know that?"
"But, can't you see that these chicks are extraordinary and not ordinary?"
Not ordinary chicks?
Upon hearing this, the members of the Beast Control Sect suddenly realized their mistake.
Did they misjudge the situation?
No wonder the Sect Master was angry; this was their area of expertise...
They quickly composed themselves and observed the chicks carefully.
The members of the Great Harmony Palace and the other two sects were also curious and took a closer look...
After a moment, one of the elders from the Beast Control Sect was stunned, "Ah!"
He couldn't help but exclaim.
The sudden exclamation startled everyone.
"What's wrong with you, scaring us like that?"
But at that moment, all the elders from the Beast Control Sect were 'petrified', staring at the hundreds of chicks, trembling and stuttering, "E-Eight Treasures Chickens!"
"They're all Eight Treasures Chickens!"
