Chapter 355: Chapter 355

At Green Cloud Immortal Sect.

“First Elder, I have to trouble you with this.” Lin Xue’e said respectfully.

Xiao Jinting secretly rolled his eyes and said, “There are so many elders in the sect. Why do you choose me?”

Lin Xue smiled and said, “There are many elders in the sect, but none of them are as powerful as you, Mr. Xiao.”

Xiao Jinting looked at Lin Xue’e and said with a faint smile, “You think highly of me.”

Lin Xue’e giggled and said, “You are awesome. The Peerless Sect and Spiritual Medicine Sect sent Golden Cores at the advanced level to lead the team for the trip to Cloud Prairie. We can’t fall behind them. We were short of talents and didn’t know who could be the team leader. Fortunately, First Elder, you are back in time.”

Xiao Jinting looked at Lin Xue’e and said, “I got it. I’ll take on this mission.”

“Thank you, First Elder.” Lin Xue’e smiled and left.

Xu Muan entered the room. “What’s up?”

Xiao Jinting said sullenly, “I’ve got a job. It seems I will be busy for a while.”

He gritted his teeth. This was not what Dongcheng Yang promised when he went to see him at Chen Lifeng’s house.

Dongcheng Yang said that Xiao Jinting didn’t need to do anything as long as he took the position of First Elder of Green Cloud Immortal Sect, and he could flaunt his power in the name of the sect. However, the mission was assigned to him in such a short time. He didn’t expect Dongcheng Yang, a famous Nascent Soul, to deceive him.

Now that he had taken the position of First Elder of Green Cloud Immortal Sect, it was too late to regret.

“What is it?” Xu Muan asked.

“Lead the team to Cloud Prairie. It’s said that a secret realm was found there, and only Foundation Establishment cultivators could enter. The entrance to the realm is not stable and will be accessible in about two months. The sect asks me to lead the team,” Xiao Jinting said.

Xu Muan nodded and said, “I see. Is the realm big?”

“No, it’s far smaller than Heavenly Haze Secret Realm. Only a few righteous sects will send cultivators there, so it should be less dangerous. It is a place for the Foundation Establishment cultivators to practice,” Xiao Jinting said.

“Oh, I see.”

Xiao Xiaofu and Xu Kai entered the room. Xiao Xiaofu hesitated for a moment and said, “Uncle, I heard that there is a secret realm, and I want to go.”

Xiao Jinting looked at Xiao Xiaofu and asked in confusion, “Don’t you have sufficient spiritual stones?”

Xiao Xiaofu shook his head and said, “I’ve got enough of them, but I want to go and broaden my horizon.”

“Uncle, I like to go as well,” Xu Kai said.

Xiao Jinting looked at them and said, “Think it over. This is risky. Go ask your father. If he agrees, I have no objections.”

Xiao Xiaofu quickly stood up and said, “Thank you, Uncle.”

Xu Muan watched Xiaofu leave and said, “It seems Xiaofu is very ambitious. He has the same style as you when you were young.”

Xiao Jinting shook his head and said, “My brother has only one Ger. Please give him two more talismans to keep him safe.” If something happened to Xiao Xiaofu, he would feel guilty with Xiao Jingfeng.

“Got it. The children should go out for more experience. Gems unwrought can do nothing useful,” Xu Muan said.

“That’s right,” Xiao Jinting said.

…

“Hello Mr. Dongcheng.” Lin Xue’e went to see Dongcheng Yang.

“Hello.” said Dongcheng Yang.

“Mr. Dongcheng, there is no need to send Xiao Jinting to lead the team. Why do you…?”

“Are you upset that you are disqualified from leading the team?” Dongcheng Yang asked.

Lin Xue smiled awkwardly and said, “Mr. Dongcheng, you must be joking.”

Dongcheng Yang put his hands behind his back and said seriously, “Xiao Jinting’s cultivation has improved too fast. There are some methods that can speed up the cultivation instead of improving the real strength. An Advanced Golden Core cultivated in this way is inferior to a Preliminary Golden Core.”

It dawned on Lin Xue’e. “Mr. Dongcheng, you like to test Elder Xiao.”

Dongcheng Yang smiled and said, “Yes. He has to be powerful to be First Elder of Green Cloud Immortal Sect. There will be demonic beasts on the way to Cloud Prairie, and we can take the opportunity to see Xiao Jinting’s strength.”

Lin Xue nodded and said, “You are right.”

Lin Xue’e thought to herself, “Generally speaking, those methods that speed up the cultivation have more or less hidden dangers. Xiao Jinting cultivates so quickly, maybe he has already exhausted his potentials and will never be able to advance to Nascent Soul for the rest of his life.”

Dongcheng Yang narrowed his eyes. After Xiao Jinting returned to Green Cloud Immortal Sect, the sect had got more powerful and made a connection with Chen Lifeng. There were advantages and disadvantages about this. The advantages were evident. The overall strength of the Green Cloud Immortal Sect had improved. The disadvantages were that the Xiao family got too powerful.
