Journey to the head

Lin Le didn't know about the existence of Yuan Pin Pearl yet. He thought about the current situation and said with a smile, "Don't worry too much. The situation is not that bad."

"The two golden cores of Lanyue Palace are dead, and there is no power in Xiangzhong County that can stop Xiaoyan. In other words, as long as no new golden core enters Xiangzhong County, under Xiaoyan's protection, I only need to plan carefully and I can build my foundation safely."

"First, we have to conceal the fact that the two Jindan masters of Lanyue Palace are dead. With the two Jindan masters missing, the disciples of Lanyue Palace will definitely focus all their energy on searching for them. How can they have the time to keep an eye on Yueli Mountain?"

"Lan Yue Palace is an independent Jin Dan force, and the disciples will not think of reporting to Mozhou to control the sect at the first time."

"Now the two golden elixirs are just missing. In the short term, the golden elixirs in the surrounding counties will definitely be worried and will not immediately take action against Xiangzhong County."

"So we only need to use the personal belongings of the two Jindans to lure the monks of Lanyue Palace to search in the wrong direction, and then carefully sneak back to Yueli Mountain and cover it with a small formation."

“Even if the changes in spiritual energy reveal our whereabouts when we are building our foundation, the leaderless Lanyue Palace will not be able to mobilize its army so quickly. With Xiaoyan’s protection, I am 99% sure that I can successfully build my foundation!”

Lin Le's tone was full of confidence, his eyes were firm as he spoke eloquently, everything was under control.

At this moment, Wu Yan and Jiang Baitao both saw the shadow of Lu Qian in him and immediately found their direction.

Wu Yan clenched her hands. The foundation-building issue could be resolved, but what about the Yuan Pin Pearl? This was a major event related to the future survival of the Yunshan Sect. Her mind was in a mess and it was difficult to come up with a solution.

But the existence of Yuan Pin Pearl, Master had warned us not to reveal it, not even to Brother Le, and now that Uncle Jiang knew about it, it was really helpless. But if I didn't tell Brother Le, how could he give advice?

While she was hesitating, her dantian suddenly shook and the voice of Yuanpinzhu came out.

"Xiao Yan, now that things have come to this, just tell him. This kid is very resourceful, he inherited Lu Qian's legacy, and he is someone you can trust absolutely. Let him think about it. What should we do now?"

Lin Le's eyes widened in shock.

After hearing the whole story, Lin Le's heart was in turmoil. Many things connected at once and he understood everything clearly.

So that's how it is. I was wondering why I never heard of that pearl that got into Xiaoyan's body. It turns out that this is Jichuan Xuanjun's most precious treasure, the Yuanpin Pearl!
In this way, most of the top secret manuals that emerged in our sect came from Xuanjun's collection. The orb has a spirit, and this spiritual treasure that gave birth to a spirit has become the foundation for the rise of our sect. Xiaoyan also had the opportunity to worship Xuanjun as her master and cultivate extraordinary skills.

Not only that, Yuanpin Pearl has saved people from danger several times. This time, it was also thanks to Senior Zhu Ling that Xiaoyan was safe and sound.

Over the years, the head of the sect has been able to strike a perfect balance between using the Yuanpin Pearl and protecting the secret. I don't know how much effort and planning it took. The changes here are enough for me to learn for a lifetime.

The Yuan Pin Pearl is of great importance, especially in Cangzhou. Once it is revealed, our sect will become the target of public criticism! The Sect Leader and Xiao Yan kept this secret tightly, and now it has been passed to me. I have to shoulder this responsibility even if I die.

After a few breaths, Lin Le cleared his mind, took a deep breath, and suppressed his messy thoughts.

Looking up and meeting the expectant eyes of Wu Yan and Jiang Baitao, Lin Le said in a deep voice.

"In my opinion, nothing will happen for the time being."

"Now that Mi Mengyin knows about the existence of the orb, we must put ourselves in Mi Mengyin's shoes and look at this issue from her perspective."

"She is a noble and talented person, a fallen immortal cultivator. Her great-grandfather was a True Lord of Refining Void, and she also has a Refining Void Spirit Treasure that is pregnant with a weapon spirit."

"So she first judged others by herself, and guessed that the orb was given by the True Lord Lianxu behind our Yunshan Sect, and that our Yunshan Sect concealed our identities because of the planning of True Lord Lianxu."

"She still wants to take back the treasure. Under such circumstances, the best option is to stay away from us. We will never provoke a virtual refining force again."

"Plus, she doesn't bother to learn about our rural areas, let alone recognize the Yuanpin Pearl. There are countless precious pearls in this world, and she would never think of it, nor would she have any reason to publicize that my sect has a precious pearl."

After hearing Lin Le's analysis, Wu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but Lin Le continued.

"We can't be sure just by inference. It would be too passive to do nothing and just wait. The information we have and the resources we can mobilize are still too little. We must report this matter to the headmaster urgently. He will definitely make more careful arrangements."

He reached in and took out a heavy storage bag.

"Uncle Jiang, the situation is urgent. I'm sorry to trouble you to go back to the mountain gate directly. No, go directly to the site of the battle for innate spiritual energy and report to the headmaster in person."

"Ah?" Jiang Baitao was stunned. Beiluo Shimen meowed, "This Xiangzhong County of Mozhou is 70,000 miles away from Chongming of Cangzhou. With my speed of escape——"

"No, Uncle Jiang will just take the Liuxia chariot back." Lin Le brought Jiang Baitao to the chariot. "This chariot uses the full power of spirit crystals to drive it. It can travel four thousand miles per hour, which consumes ten spirit crystals. Seventy thousand miles means fifteen or sixteen hours."

"This time when I build my foundation, the Sect Master asked me to bring out 200 spirit crystals."

Jiang Baitao's eyes widened.

Master, you are too biased. When I was building my foundation, was it thirty or fifty?

"I used up thirty of them when I broke through. I still have 170 spirit crystals left. I gave them all to my uncle. This should be enough for me to use up."

"Let's set off now. In fifteen or sixteen hours, or just a little over a day, we can meet the Sect Master and ask him to make the decision! Everything will be done in time!"

Jiang Baitao held the storage bag, feeling it was extremely heavy. Theoretically, sixteen hours would cost 160 spirit crystals, which was equivalent to nearly 200,000 spirit stones!
Spending 200,000 spirit stones to keep this secret secret for the future of Yunshan Sect.
"What about you? Without the Yunnian, you are in great danger!" Bai Tao felt uneasy.

Lin Le shook his head: "It's okay, remember what I just said, as long as we can't be sure that the two Jindan are dead, his county Jindan will not enter Xiangzhong County so quickly!"

"With Xiaoyan's protection, I will definitely be safe. Before they made up their minds to launch the test, I had already successfully built my foundation and escaped!"

"Go quickly! The sooner you see the master, the safer this matter will be!"

Bai Tao gritted her teeth and nodded, then sat in the Cloud Chariot and pressed the Spirit Crystal onto the crystal column. With a flash of rosy clouds, the Cloud Chariot flew away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Lin Le turned his head. The moonlight was like water and everything was quiet, as if he and Wu Yan were the only two people left between heaven and earth.

At this moment, Lin Le had so many things he wanted to say, but they were so inappropriate in the current situation.

Wu Yan looked at him quietly.

"Xiaoyan, it all depends on you."

"Ah."

It was just dawn, and the noise in the city that never sleeps showed some signs of easing. The monks who had been partying all night were ready to pack up, take a breath, and then go watch today's game.

At this time, the Never-Sleeping City's great formation was opened, and a cloud chariot, under the guidance of the on-duty disciples, sped along the tram and headed straight for the Yunshan Sect's station, drawing a brilliant glow in the sky, which attracted the guidance and discussion of many cultivators. In the pavilion, the dusty Jiang Baitao finally saw Lu Qian.

She traveled more than 70,000 miles without a break, and spent more than 160 spirit crystals. Finally, after contacting the Intelligence Department, she arrived at the City That Never Sleeps to meet Lu Qian as quickly as possible.

When Lu Qian first heard the report from the Intelligence Department that Bai Tao had come alone in a cloud chariot, he felt dizzy and his heart ached. He almost thought that the whole team had been wiped out.

Fortunately, the Intelligence Department added Bai Tao's briefing, saying that everyone was safe and there was just an urgent confidential report. This made Lu Qian breathe a sigh of relief, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

However, for Bai Tao to travel thousands of miles alone, there must be something important. So Lu Qian calmed down and listened carefully to Bai Tao's detailed report.

Under Bai Tao's anxious gaze, Lu Qian closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded, his tone quite relieved.

"I understand. Xiaolin's judgment was correct and his decision was timely. Even if he and I were to switch places, we couldn't do better."

After a pause, Lu Qian continued, "You don't have to worry about the matter of Yuanpin Pearl anymore. I have my own ideas. Just remember to keep your mouth shut."

Jiang Baitao breathed a long sigh of relief. She had been under tremendous psychological pressure all along. Now that she had successfully reported this important matter, the head brother would take charge of it. All her worries were gone immediately and she didn't have to think about it anymore.

In an instant, she was bright and sunny, and jumped up: "Are you still worried? I already knew that Baozhu saved my life that year. These years, I have covered my mouth when I fell asleep, for fear of talking in my sleep."

Lu Qian was too lazy to pay attention to her antics, so she continued to ask, "Master, how is the battle for innate spiritual energy going now? How many battles have we won?"

Lu Qian didn't have time to deal with her. He waved his hand to withdraw the magic circle and wanted to ask someone to take the girl away. But Bai Tao became serious again: "Master, I will go back to pick up Xiaolin and Xiaoyan."

"But..." She raised her eyebrows and smiled slyly, "I've run out of spiritual crystals. Can you give me another three to five hundred?"

Lu Qian patted her on the head and said, "You wish. You don't have to be busy anymore. Calculating the time, Lin Le must have finished building his foundation."

With the blessing of our ancestors, everything should go well.

Xiao Lin has suffered for too long. Since God has blessed him with amazing luck, and he has just completed his Qi training and is about to reach the stage of foundation building, he should not fail no matter what.

Even if he made a noise while building his foundation, with Wu Yan's ability, she would be able to protect him and help him escape from Xiangzhong County.

"But support is still necessary, but I will send someone there myself, so you don't have to worry about it." Lu Qian called Li Da and asked him to take Jiang Baitao to rest and talk about the specific situation of the game so far.

All I could hear was Bai Tao's joyful voice gradually drifting away: "Great, I can finally watch the game!"

Lu Qian smiled helplessly, then became serious again.

There is a possibility that the Yuanpin Pearl was leaked, but it is difficult to say who is responsible.

Xiaoyan was indeed not experienced and decisive enough. Since she had used the orb, she had to kill all those who knew about it with lightning speed. As for the reason why Mi Mengyin followed and took action, she could have slowly investigated it after killing her.

But then again, just as no one could have imagined that Mi Mengyin had a trump card like the Great Teleportation Talisman, who could know whether a descendant of a wealthy family like this had left any backup plans, and whether the Mi family would be able to know immediately if he died?
Even more, will that True Lord Tianhe come in person to confirm the situation?
If that were the case, killing Mi Mengyin would make enemies with the Mi family and directly offend a refining force, which would also have disastrous consequences.

This kind of rich and powerful kid with a huge background is really difficult to deal with because he can neither be killed nor released.

I just hope that, as Lin Le judged, by using the tiger's skin as a banner, we can make Mi Mengyin stay away from us and not interfere with each other.

All we can do now is to add another layer of insurance to protect the secret of Yuanpin Pearl.

Things are very clear now. Hai Shuangyao kept the matter of the Dragon Palace Ascension Voucher a secret and did not report it to the family. Mi Mengyin did not know that the Dragon Palace Ascension Voucher was in my hands, and made some misjudgments. She wanted to start with me and take the voucher back from Hai Shuangyao.

Until she is truly desperate, she will not give up this idea and will not report the loss of the treasure voucher to her family.

Therefore, this matter still needs to start with Hai Shuangyao.
A moment later, Lu Qian arrived in front of Haiyuan Pavilion. Before he contacted Xianzhi Weng and understood the function of Haiyuan Pavilion, he didn't know how to contact Haishuangyao, but now, he can naturally pass the message to Haishuangyao through the layers of Haiyuan Pavilion.

After inquiry, it was found that it would cost one hundred spirit crystals to deliver a message to the Xianyun Islands!

The postage for a letter was 100 spirit crystals, which was really out of the ordinary. He didn't even bargain, and asked if it was the Immortal Meteoric Islands, which was nearly a million miles away. It was up to you to send it or not, so Lu Qian had to pay obediently.

Now Lu Qian has a new understanding of the level of money-making and huge influence of Haiyuan Pavilion.

He wrote a letter to Hai Shuangyao, but didn't say too much for fear of leaking the secret. He only asked Hai Shuangyao for help to make some noise in the Xianyun Islands to attract Mi Mengyin to come home.

The two of them have been enemies for hundreds of years, so Hai Shuangyao naturally knows how to attract her back.

As long as Mi Mengyin is lured back to the Xianyun Islands, she will naturally have no time to care about the affairs of the Yunshan Sect.

After doing all this, Lu Qian did some calculations. In order to prevent any possible omissions, he really spent a lot of money this time. The travel expenses and postage cost a total of more than 260 spiritual crystals, equivalent to more than 300,000 spiritual stones.

But as long as this secret can be kept secret, spending three million is worth it.

Afterwards, he contacted Master Zang Feng and asked him to help Master Haoran temporarily guard Hanjiangzhu for a few days to replace Yu Jiao, and then Yu Jiao would go to pick up Wu Yan and Lin Le.

If all goes well, Wu Yan and the others will return in about half a month, by which time the group stage will be halfway through.

During the subsequent viewing of the game today, Jiang Baitao was extremely excited, but Lu Qian was distracted.

He was silently deducing, if by any chance, the Yuanpin Pearl was really discovered by Mi Mengyin and publicized in Cangzhou, how should the Yunshan School respond?

Two days later, the fifth match of Group 2 officially started. This was Qinglian Zhenzong’s debut.

The luxurious lineup of two Jindan perfect stage and one Jindan late stage won huge cheers as soon as they appeared on the stage, and also put great pressure on the opponent.

They did not disappoint the audience and easily won the battle, showing the strength and style that the Cangzhou Four Sects should have.

After winning the game, the leading Jindan Yuanman made a threatening gesture towards the box where the Chongming Alliance was located.

Lu Qian sneered coldly.

The match between Chongming Alliance and Qinglian Zhenzong will be the ninth game of Group 2, sixteen days later.

Let's see who will have the last laugh. (End of this chapter)
