"Is this the place where the sect was destroyed?"
Lin Suqing carried her long sword and looked up at the golden plaque on the door, as well as the treasure shop that was several times larger than the surrounding shops. She felt a bit restrained.
With such a large storefront, the treasures inside must be expensive.
Anyway, she just wanted to take a look. They wouldn't ask for spirit stones, right?
Lin Suqing looked around and found that many cultivators had already gathered around. She retreated to a corner and quietly waited for noon to arrive.

After all, she was now a mid-stage Golden Elixir cultivator.
Although in this famous city, cultivators in the Elemental Infant and Leaping Spirit realms were not uncommon, if she checked one by one, her cultivation level would still be considered above average in this city.
Cultivators were like this. The higher they stood, the more easily they were seen by others.
She tried to calm down, but she couldn't help but think of her master's instructions when she left the Gentle Breeze Gazing Moon Sect.
"Suqing, when you leave the sect this time, don't come back!"
"The entire sect now knows that you have a lot of wealth. They are just short of directly robbing you. Listen to your master and leave quickly!"
Lin Suqing bit her lip.
The treasures given to her by the young master were now only half left.
This half was her future reliance and the guarantee to find the young master's whereabouts.
These things must not be coveted by others anymore...
Lin Suqing, oh Lin Suqing, you should learn to refuse the unreasonable requests of the elders in the sect.
As the third-ranked cultivator in the sect, she had to be strong!
Yes, from this moment on, she must not fall behind, she must be extraordinary!
Clang!
There was suddenly the sound of gongs and drums in front of the shop. Lin Suqing was startled, and she saw streams of light appearing from various places on the street.
With a few swishes, dozens of figures appeared in front of Lin Suqing. Each of them had a long cultivation history and profound cultivation levels, surrounded by auras of purity and impurity...
"What is this?"
Lin Suqing quickly took a step back and didn't dare to say that she had arrived first.
Then she heard a few more gongs, indicating that the shop was about to open.
A figure dressed in luxurious clothes stood in front of the shop, exuding the aura of a True Immortal. He introduced himself as Wang Lishan, the Great Elder of the Gentle Breeze Gazing Moon Sect, and now he had taken a new Daoist name: Benfen Daoist.
Lin Suqing listened quietly and couldn't help but smile.
The name of this sect was quite interesting. Judging from the cultivation level of the elder in charge of the shop, this sect was probably one of the top 100 demonic sects in the rumors, a truly powerful family.
Unlike their Gentle Breeze Gazing Moon Sect, which had a shorter history and no immortals, they were fortunate to rely on a larger sect nearby to avoid being easily destroyed by passing villains.
She listened to the elder talk about the glorious history of this sect with a long name, introduced their business philosophy, and heard keywords such as "affordable" and "value for money," which made her eyes light up.
Then the elder said:
"The shop is newly opened today, and many promotional activities have been launched. But in the end, these activities are just to attract you all.
We know very well that treasures are the most important companions for cultivators, and we also know how rare it is to have a handy weapon.
It's almost noon, but I will open the doors now and let you all see!
All the treasures on the display stands and hanging on the walls are for sale today! The prices are clearly marked, and what you see is what you get!"
The elder waved his hand:
"Open the doors and close the formation!"
The wooden doors of the shop were pushed open, and female disciples of the Gentle Breeze Gazing Moon Sect, dressed in white short skirts, stepped out and stood quietly in front of the doors, their hands held in front of them.
Behind them, the treasures were displayed, with hundreds of various-grade treasures shimmering with spiritual light.
Many cultivators' eyes lit up when they saw that the treasures here were indeed not overpriced, but rather reasonably priced.
Lin Suqing even tightened her small hand and looked at the prices of the lower-grade and larger quantity treasures. After a brief calculation, she realized that she could actually buy several good treasures with the small amount of spirit stones given by the sect!
In this way, even if she returned, she wouldn't be subjected to strange looks...
"Suqing, don't come back when you leave the sect."
The sigh of her master still echoed in her ears. Lin Suqing bit her lip slightly and her eyes showed some hesitation.
The sect had been good to her after all. If it weren't for being taken as a disciple, she wouldn't have had the experiences she had, nor would she have encountered that bad-tempered young master.
That foul-mouthed guy, she really wanted to shut him up!
But after the young master grew up, he really became handsome and suave... Hehe.
Clang!
Another gong sounded, pulling Lin Suqing back from her thoughts. She looked up and saw that the beautiful female disciples had already entered the shop.
The elder Wang Lishan rose into the air, and the group of people in front of him rushed into the shop.
Oh no, they were going to snatch these high-quality and affordable treasures!
She hurriedly moved forward, using her spiritual power to create a barrier and tried to squeeze forward.
But!
Streams of light kept flashing on the street, and figures used their techniques to rush into the shop. Some even secretly competed with each other using their spiritual power.
The Golden Elixir cultivators, who were considered to be in the upper ranks among the cultivators, were completely inadequate at this moment and place!
Even when she was squeezing...
Lin Suqing inexplicably retreated dozens of zhang and ended up at a street corner, looking at the surging figures in front of her with black lines on her forehead.
She sighed softly and saw a stone stool at the street corner. She decided to sit there, facing the direction of the shop, and wait for the crowd to thin out before going in to take a look.
Such a large shop couldn't possibly sell out, right?
Then she heard the elder Wang loudly shout, "Due to insufficient stock, we are now implementing a purchase limit. Each customer can only buy a maximum of three items! The person who just ordered three hundred treasures, please come to me, and I will take you to pick them up!"
Three hundred!
Lin Suqing was instantly petrified.
She thought to herself that if she didn't use the remaining half of the precious ores she had saved, she wouldn't be able to meet the demands of the elders in the sect. It would be better to leave the sect.
"I don't owe them anything."
But even so, tears welled up in Lin Suqing's eyes, and she wanted to wipe the corners of her eyes with her hand. Her lips pouted slightly, and her eyes were already moist.
If she left the sect, he wouldn't be able to find her anymore. They might never see each other again.
She had thought that if she waited for him to come to the Human Realm and look for the sect, it would be easier for him to find the sect than to find an unknown little cultivator like her. But...
"Why are you crying here?"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ear. Lin Suqing was stunned and turned her head to look at the person standing beside her, slowly raising her head.
What she saw were a pair of light black boots, followed by the hem of a black robe, a simple tied waist, the patterns of a spirit beast on the front of the robe, scattered buttons, a slender neck, and a face that could still be recognized even with a mask...
Was she dreaming? Was she dreaming?
Lin Suqing subconsciously reached out to pinch the person's thigh in front of her, and the person reflexively took a step back, emitting a cold aura.
This reaction! It really was the young master!
Lin Suqing widened her eyes, almost screaming out in joy.
"Young!"
"Master!" Wu Wang decisively interrupted her words.
"Young!"
"Master!" Wu Wang glared at her fiercely.
Where was his composure? Where was his stability?
Lin Suqing pouted, feeling wronged. How could he lower her status by two generations like this? Her lips moved slightly behind the veil, and her voice trembled slightly as she called out, "Master~"
Wu Wang raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Follow me. This is not the place to talk."
After speaking, he glanced around, turned around, and walked away.
Lin Suqing quickly got up and hurriedly followed, carefully observing Wu Wang. She exclaimed with joy, "Is it really you? How did you end up here? No, I mean... Oh right, I won't talk now, I won't talk. Maybe I'm dreaming, it feels like I'm dreaming."
Wu Wang frowned slightly.
Did his mask make him look lonely?
Lin Suqing kept chattering on the side, from his left side to his right side, from his right side to his left side, from the street corner to the back door of the destroyed sect's restaurant, she had said dozens of sentences.
If she reached menopause, wouldn't it be explosive!
Wu Wang pondered slightly in his heart and decided to strike down her arrogance:
"Cough, I have found a Dao companion now."
Lin Suqing was stunned for a moment, then her face lit up with joy. She couldn't contain her smile behind the veil:
"Is it true? Can you touch her now? Have you met someone you can touch? Is she human? Which race is she from? Young... Master, you finally did it! Is it true, is it true? Can I meet her?"
Lin Suqing even had tears in her eyes as she covered her mouth and sobbed softly, "Heavens, why are you so blind!"
"Hmm?" Wu Wang's blood pressure rose.
"No, the heavens have opened their eyes! I misspoke out of excitement, I misspoke!"
She not only lost her composure in her words, but also had a feeling of relief, as if her piglet had finally learned to eat cabbage.
The young master had really grown up!
The back door opened on its own, and Yang Wudi and Zhang Moshan appeared from behind Wu Wang and Lin Suqing, accompanying them into the restaurant.
Only then did Lin Suqing realize that there had always been a few shadows around her and the young master. Their cultivation levels were extremely high.
What was going on?
When she and the young master separated in the Western Sea, the young master seemed to have followed a powerful person. Could it be that he had taken that person as his master?
Who was that person?
"Master."
"Master!"
The busy people in the courtyard stopped their work and saluted Wu Wang.
Wu Wang nodded with a smile and led Lin Suqing into the six or seven-story restaurant, stepping into the "automatically flying artifact that moves up and down in a square area" on the side, and took Lin Suqing to the top floor of the restaurant, which was surrounded by formations.
As soon as they got off the flying artifact, four beautiful women in flowing dresses bowed their heads and saluted, all of them in the Elemental Infant realm.
"Greetings, Master."
"Hmm, you can continue with your tasks."
Lin Suqing was a bit dazed, her eyes reflecting the elegant and beautiful decorations around her. Stepping on the jade stone floor adorned with starlight, she could see spacious private rooms in every direction.
The curtain of one of the private rooms was lifted, and an old man with red hair and a young man with silver hair walked out.
The old man spoke gently, "Master, you're back."
The young man smiled, "Master, who is this?"
"I'm here to introduce these two elders," Wu Wang smiled and gestured for Lin Suqing to come forward from behind him, "This is my half-teacher and also my housekeeper for six years. Her name is Lin Suqing. Although her cultivation level is not high, she is my guide in the Human Realm."
Mao Aowu didn't think much of it and smiled, "So you're Fairy Lin. Thank you for guiding the Master. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet the Master! Hahaha!"
The Great Elder pondered for a moment and showed a kind smile to Lin Suqing.
"Come in and have a drink."
Wu Wang beckoned, leading Lin Suqing inside. The four of them sat at a round table, and several fair-skinned and beautiful female disciples were responsible for pouring wine and adding dishes.
Lin Suqing felt dizzy and confused, not knowing what she had heard or seen. What master? What sect master?
Wasn't the young master still the young master? How did he become a sect master?
All the people she had seen along the way... had auras that suppressed her!
The old man and the young man sitting here were like two mountains, so close that she couldn't even see the top of the mountains.
What was the young master saying to them?
Increase the supply of the shop, contact the master refiners in advance, and when the elder who went to the North Wilderness to buy ores returns, directly mass-produce the best-selling treasures...
"Young master," Lin Suqing found a gap in Wu Wang's conversation with the Great Elder and asked softly, "Who are these two seniors?"
The Great Elder smiled, "I am Mao Aowu, the Great Elder of the sect. Fortunately, we have the support of fellow cultivators like you, and I have been given the title of Bloodhand Demon Venerable."
Mao Aowu smiled, "I am Mao Aowu, the eldest brother of the Master. I am also a Great Elder of the sect and hold a position in the Renhuang Pavilion."
Lin Suqing fell silent for a while.
Wu Wang smiled and continued his conversation with the Great Elder, letting her digest the information herself.
After a while, Lin Suqing gently rummaged through her storage bracelet, took out a thick book, and flipped through it for a while. She quickly found a painting.
She looked down at the painting, then looked up at the old man in front of her, and then looked down at the painting again.
Lin Suqing raised her hand and tugged at Wu Wang's sleeve, holding her breath, and secretly handed him the book, her small face pale.
Wu Wang lowered his head and looked at it, his eyes lighting up:
"Great Elder, you are so famous. You were so humble before. You are ranked 18th among the top demonic experts of this generation."
"Oh?"
The Great Elder smiled and took the book, glanced at it, and said with a smile, "These rankings were made by some busybodies. They are useless if they don't break through the Transcendent realm. If they break through the Transcendent realm, they won't be on these lists."
Wu Wang wondered, "Our demonic sect has such a powerful expert like the Great Elder, and we also have Brother Mao, who has recently become a Heavenly Immortal. Why are our rankings so low?"
Mao Aowu rubbed his forehead and said in a low voice, "It's because we didn't give these people who organized and ranked us any benefits."
The Great Elder calmly said, "Our sect didn't have many resources for cultivation before, so we didn't accept many disciples. Now that we have the guidance of the sect master, we will soon be in the top thirty."
"I see," Wu Wang pondered for a moment, "In the future, we need to manage our livelihoods, and having such a reputation is necessary. It's also fine to give them some benefits."
Lin Suqing sat in a daze for a while, feeling restless. She whispered:
"Young master, should I... should I stand?"
"Just sit," Wu Wang said calmly, "Now that I have found you, you can continue to cultivate by my side. I have found a place to settle in the Human Realm.
Also, why were you crying just now?"
Lin Suqing blinked her eyes and smiled, "No, I wasn't crying... Ah, yes, I was just so happy to see the young master that my Dao heart was a bit unstable."
Wu Wang raised his hand and took off his mask, placing it aside, then looked at Lin Suqing.
"If you were bullied when you returned to the sect?"
"No, everyone is very nice to me," Lin Suqing smiled, "I am already in the Golden Elixir realm now. Who can bully me?"
"I gave you a storage treasure. Take it out and let me see."
"Isn't that my reward?" Lin Suqing's eyes showed a bit of pleading, "Young master, I really haven't been wronged."
"How much is left?"
"Still... still more than half..."
Wu Wang's eyes widened. Did the Gentle Breeze Gazing Moon Sect treat the ores as food?
The value of the various ores on Lin Suqing's body could support the Gentle Breeze Gazing Moon Sect for twenty or thirty years!
"Yang Wudi!"
Wu Wang called out, and a bald and burly man immediately rushed out.
But Wu Wang quickly realized that the old aunt also had feelings for the sect, and it might not be the best solution to send a few True Immortals to teach them a lesson. He looked at Mao Aowu and had a plan in mind.
"Mao, come with me. Let's go meet the Gentle Breeze Gazing Moon Sect!"
Mao Aowu stood up and saluted, "As you command, Sect Master!"
The Great Elder stroked his beard and pondered. Although he was unfamiliar with the name of this sect, if it made the Sect Master so angry, it might be a powerful sect.
"I will go back and mobilize our forces. Please bear with it for now, Sect Master. If necessary, I can invite a few friends to come and help."
"No need to trouble you, Great Elder. It's better for you to stay here and prevent any troublemakers from causing trouble."
Wu Wang said, "Mao, come with me. We will use the name of the Renhuang Pavilion to suppress them, so as not to cause any unnecessary disputes. Today, I want to see if these immortal sects are reasonable or not!"
Lin Suqing opened her mouth, looking at the demonic experts who had revealed a bit of their auras around her, unable to help but tilt her head, and a small soul appeared at the corner of her mouth.
It's over, it's all over.
