Chapter 264: Master Misses You Too
Inside the funeral parlor, Bai Xuanling naturally sat in the main seat.
Chen Mouguang was quite sensible. Even though there were seats in the distance, he and his team members still stood and did not dare to sit.
Not out of fear, because Bai Xuanling had never punished disciples from other peaks besides the sect leader.
This was a silent respect.
Throughout the Heavenly Derivation Sect, Bai Xuanling's stories were the most widely circulated.
Every cultivator who entered the sect, if talking about stories, would definitely not lack a few of Bai Xuanling's dramatic stories.
Bai Xuanling's earlier stories were extremely legendary. A genius cultivator who dared to draw her sword forward no matter when or what happened, never easily retreating.
She had been heavily injured, and had been defeated, but had never admitted defeat.
A top cultivator who killed decisively and carved out a name that shocked the entire Central Province for herself.
And the entire Heavenly Derivation Sect also knew that the time when Bai Xuanling earned the nickname "Living Yama," she was actually drawing her sword for the Heavenly Derivation Sect.
Bai Xuanling's contributions to the Heavenly Derivation Sect were unquestionable. So whenever Bai Xuanling raised her arm and shouted to find trouble with the sect leader, she would always summon many other peak masters.
Besides not liking the sect leader, most of the time, those peak masters came more out of admiration for Bai Xuanling as a cultivator.
So at this moment, in this room, only three people were seated.
Bai Xuanling, Chu Xingchen, and Chen Baiqing.
Bai Xuanling smiled lightly as she looked at Chu Xingchen. Regarding this talent that satisfied her, Bai Xuanling still understood him. Interrupting her performance meant this boy had definitely obtained what he wanted.
Moreover, he had hidden it from that group of Grand Dao Sect people.
Bai Xuanling smiled and asked, "What good things did you find?"
Chen Mouguang looked at Chu Xingchen in surprise upon hearing this. Then he saw Chu Xingchen naturally nod.
Brother...
He could only say that big shots were indeed big shots. Not only did he hide it from Jade Yang Dao Child, but he also performed a scene on the spot of getting nothing and leaving unwillingly.
Chen Mouguang truly thought Chu Xingchen had gotten nothing. This big shot really hid it so well even from his own people!
Chu Xingchen answered, "I did find things, but I cannot share them. I used them all up."
Bai Xuanling did not care too much. She waved her hand casually and said, "That is fine too. As long as it entered our own people's account. But what is the situation with the Incense Divine Path? Do you understand it?"
Chu Xingchen thought carefully and answered seriously, "The investment does not need to be too much. Zhang Daotan's situation cannot be replicated. However, the direction of condensing vow power can be researched. That thing's power is quite great, but it is probably not easy."
"For now, it is temporarily not worth large investment."
Bai Xuanling nodded understandingly upon hearing this. "Then later I will have the sect leader spread the word, saying that our Heavenly Derivation Sect is planning to vigorously develop the Incense Divine Path. We can fool as many fools as we can fool."
Chu Xingchen nodded heavily upon hearing this. "Sister Bai is wise and divine. This strategy is flawless!"
Bai Xuanling was immune to Chu Xingchen's flattery. "Hah... less flattery. Are you finished with matters here? Is there anything else to wrap up?"
"Basically nothing. Could there be something else for me to do?"
"Then you have to ask your good disciple. Recently he has become quite famous in the Heavenly Derivation Sect."
Chen Baiqing's eyes brightened upon hearing this. Although no specific name was mentioned, who had caused problems was self-evident. At the same time, she cast a look at her master. I told you so! Fifth Junior Brother definitely wants to cause trouble!
Chu Xingchen coughed lightly facing Chen Baiqing's gaze. "Why did you not discipline him for me?"
Bai Xuanling answered with a half-smile, "One's own disciple is taught by oneself. Moreover, how would I dare to offend the disciples of the great genius Chu?"
Chu Xingchen stood up, appearing as if he would punish his own side impartially. "I will go back right now and skin that unworthy disciple of mine!"
"Hah..."
Bai Xuanling laughed disdainfully.
Heavenly Derivation Sect.
Qinghe's eyes widened as she looked excitedly at the mountain of spirit stones piled up in her space ring. "Wow! You are much smarter than your second senior brother! And you have a conscience! You know how to share the spoils! Unlike your second senior brother who is like a blockhead, he does not want it himself and does not let me want it either!"
Cui Hao frowned slightly. "Hey! Why do you speak so unpleasantly? What do you mean share the spoils? This is our hard-earned money. Do not talk nonsense, lest others misunderstand."
Qinghe looked at Cui Hao with an incredulous gaze. These words were a bit shameless, but for some reason she felt comfortable hearing them.
Could it be that this was how it felt when Chu Xingchen said these words before?
No wonder Chu Xingchen always said such shameless words!
She quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, hard-earned money, hard-earned money. Then how do you plan to sell the next batch of pills?"
Cui Hao's expression changed as if he already had everything under control. "How to sell? Of course by auction! In a while you spread the word, saying that the next large batch of pills was intercepted by such-and-such peak. Mention several peaks, do not let people know with one question. Also, speak ambiguously."
"You must let everyone know that this batch of goods is very scarce. Just this little bit left."
"At the same time, you also spread the word saying that the sect leader decided that after a period of time, the Heavenly Derivation Sect will ban the sale of the pills refined by my master."
"The more you sell, the less there is. In the future, you might not have any way to buy them even if you want to! Now spending money to buy them is very likely buying the last edition!"
"Also, publicize more! After these pills become out of print, they will definitely appreciate in value. The reason is that if you want them again, you have to buy from private hands. That price will at least increase tenfold!"
"Buying our pills now is a business that guarantees profit without loss!"
Qinghe's eyes widened even more upon hearing this.
Wow!
What kind of black-hearted kid was Chu Xingchen? The one before her was the real deal!
How could she have been so stupid before! To not have thought of this method!
Would this not earn a fortune? If she hid a batch of pills herself and waited for the price to rise before selling...
Qinghe suddenly felt that her future days were going to soar to the heavens. The good days of eating one meal and throwing away the next were coming!
However, a voice brought Qinghe back to reality.
"Good of you to guarantee profit without loss! You are still playing tricks here?!"
Hearing the voice, Cui Hao and Qinghe quickly turned their heads. They saw Chu Xingchen with slightly widened brows, and Chen Baiqing standing beside him with a calm expression.
Qinghe was stunned. She glanced at Cui Hao's nervous expression, then clenched the space ring in her hand.
No way! This new black-hearted kid earned money for her. She should speak up for him!
But before Qinghe could figure out how to speak in defense.
She saw Cui Hao stride forward with a brisk step and tightly grasp his master's hand. He said with deep emotion, "Master, you have finally returned. I have missed you for so long."
Chu Xingchen felt the many space rings in his hand and was speechless for a long time. How much did he earn?
"I... I missed you too, Master."
