However, if a portion of the disciples were left to guard, their strength would be greatly reduced since they were not strong.

Just as Han Yue was frowning, Alchemy King Gu Xi came up, “Thanks to Elder Ye’s care by giving me spiritual plants and supreme-grade pills. I’m willing to stay to guard Tai Qing Sect.”

Han Yue couldn’t help but be happy when she heard this, “Is the alchemy king serious?”

According to the time that she had agreed with Alchemy King Gu Xi, it was time for them to leave. She didn’t expect that he would choose to stay.

“Of course.”

Alchemy King Gu Xi nodded. The current Tai Qing Sect was simply heaven to him. There were spiritual plants to be used and pills to be researched. Only a fool would choose to leave this place.

Moreover, he was sure that Ye Xuan was not simple. He wanted to ride Ye Xuan’s coattails by guarding Tai Qing Sect. It would not hurt them either. After all, they could refine pills anywhere, let alone in Tai Qing Sect which had so many materials.

With Alchemy King Gu Xi’s help, Ye Xuan and the others didn’t have any worries.

This group of alchemy cultivators might not be very strong, but the key was their connections. After all, there was a saying that circulated, ‘You can offend anyone but not alchemy cultivators’.

Moreover, it was Alchemy King Gu Xi holding down the fort. Even those who wanted to find trouble and look for the pills had to properly weigh their strength.

“Then I’ll thank Alchemy King Gu Xi.”

After everything in Tai Qing Sect was settled, Han Yue and the others immediately set off. In addition to some weak disciples, there were also several elders left in the sect.

Although everyone in Tai Qing Sect had taken the supreme-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill, their qualifications were mixed good and bad. After all, these people could enter the sect as long as they paid spirit stones.

Therefore, most of the disciples of the Tai Qing Sect were weak. The supreme-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill could only clean the spirit root, but it would not change much of the cultivation. If the aptitude was too poor, then there was nothing could be done.

However, under the effects of the pill, most of the disciples had changed from the original three or four spirit roots, which were mixed spiritual roots, to double spiritual roots, and even supreme-grade single spiritual roots.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

To them, it was like a pie falling from the sky and they were extremely grateful to Ye Xuan.

There weren’t even a few people with mixed spirit roots in the entire team. This situation was extremely rare even in those big sects.

Han Yue suggested to Lin Yuanheng, “In fact, you should focus on your cultivation in the sect. The Lin family patriarch doesn’t want you to travel a long distance either.”

Lin Yuanheng shook his head and refused, “I want to go out and have a look. This time is also a kind of training for me.”

Ever since he had become a disabled person, the Lin family head had been worried that he would be injured and had not allowed him to travel far. It was not easy to get this opportunity, so how could he give it up?

Moreover, Lin Yuanheng had other considerations. His intuition told him that it was definitely right to follow Ye Xuan.

Seeing that Lin Yuanheng was so insistent, Han Yue could not say anything more.

“Then let’s go now. I’ll leave the sect’s matters to Alchemy King Gu Xi.”

“Don’t worry, Sect Master Han. Brother Ye’s matters are my matters. His sect is naturally my sect.”

Hearing the way Alchemy King Gu Xi addressed Ye Xuan, Han Yue’s eyelids couldn’t help twitching. In such a short time, Ye Xuan was able to become brothers with the alchemy king. This was also a kind of ability.

The group of people left in a grandiose manner. As expected, not long after they left, several groups of people came to visit. All of them came for the supreme-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill.

The first to arrive was the Qingcheng Sect, which was also a famous sect nearby. The group of people was arrogant.

The Lin family also had supreme-grade Marrow Cleansing Pills, but everyone thought that Lin Yuanheng had finished them. The sect did not dare to find trouble with the Lin family either.

They had their eyes on Tai Qing Sect since they had found out that the sect had only been established not long ago. Of course, it was easy to bully the sect. Even if Ye Xuan couldn’t take out the supreme-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill, he could still force him to tell where he had gotten the pill from.

“I heard that Tai Qing Sect had exterminated Blood Soul Sect.”

The elder of the Qingcheng Sect didn’t think much of it, “Did you see it with your own eyes?”

Although everyone said so, there were very few people who had witnessed it with their own eyes. Over time, everyone thought that it was just a rumor. After all, the difference in strength between the two sects was too great.

It was simply impossible for Tai Qing Sect to exterminate the Blood Soul Sect.

There were rumors in the outside world that the Blood Soul Sect had offended some mysterious superpower, which was why they were exterminated.

“Perhaps the people of Tai Qing Sect are deliberately mystified, or they deliberately said it was their own doing. They didn’t think about how it was possible to do that with their strength.”

With this in mind, the sect did not take Tai Qing Sect seriously. As soon as they arrived at the mountain gate, they were not polite at all, “Ask your sect master and the elder who has the supreme-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill to come out.”

Who would’ve thought that the one who came out was Alchemy King Gu Xi?

“Why is the alchemy king here?”

Everyone couldn’t help but be shocked.

After all, Alchemy King Gu Xi’s whereabouts were unknown, and not many people knew that Han Yue had invited him over to teach.

“Sect Master Han Yue, Elder Ye Xuan, and the other elders are not here.”

Everyone didn’t dare to show any disrespect to Alchemy King Gu Xi, and they restrained their arrogance, “What? You’re saying that they’ve already left to participate in the sect returning ceremony?”

“After all, it’s just a small sect, and you all know the rules. The sect returning ceremony is around the corner, so they naturally have to set off in advance.”

Looking at Alchemy King Gu Xi, everyone was dumbfounded. Finally, the Qingcheng Sect’s elder reacted, “I don’t believe it. How could there be such a coincidence? Could it be that they’re saying this to avoid us?”

Alchemy King Gu Xi’s face turned cold, “What? Are you suspecting that I’m lying? If you don’t believe me, you can investigate it yourself!”
