My Xiuxian script went astray

Chapter 74 Return to Tianjian Sect!
Half a day later, all the guards of Songhu Mine came over, and some guards who had escaped outside also came back one after another, adding some popularity to Yanxi Mine.

After learning that Chen Lang had become the master of the mountain, no one had any objection. Many people knew him. When Chen Lang took off his mask and revealed his real name, their doubts were completely suppressed. This meant that the mine still belonged to the Tianjian Sect, and there was no need to worry about the Tianjian Sect sending people to attack.

They cleaned up the mine, cleared out the debris, set up temporary tents again, and called back the other brothers. They did the whole thing in one go and were incredibly skilled.

These things were not even arranged by Chen Lang himself. They were used to it. The change of mountain masters was commonplace in this vast wilderness. They only needed to confirm that there was a new master in power and then they could continue their work.

Two days later, an envoy from the Tianjian Sect arrived.

"Congratulations, fellow Taoist, on becoming the new mountain master." The messenger said with a smile.

He introduced himself and said that he was responsible for the connection between Tianjian Sect and Yanxi Mine, and that any situation could be reported to him.

However, upon learning of the death of the original mountain master, the envoy shook his head and laughed:
"Daoyou, you are still too young."

"What's wrong?" Chen Lang glanced at him.

If this kid doesn't agree with him being the mountain master, he doesn't mind killing him altogether.

The messenger hurriedly explained, "You misunderstood. The new mountain master can certainly let you take the position. What I meant is that you missed an opportunity to earn spirit stones.

That kid has been the mountain master for so many years, and his family has accumulated countless wealth. You should report this to the sect and recover the spiritual stones and other valuables that he has embezzled over the years."

"and then?"

The messenger smiled and said, "Of course it's not a true report. You can use this to make him spit out some of the truth, and then help him make up a story about him dying in battle and divide up the money. In this way, who else will know except heaven and earth?"

Chen Lang ignored him. Judging from the envoy's appearance, his cultivation level was above the foundation-building stage, and he must have done this kind of thing many times.

Finally, the envoy and Chen Lang successfully renegotiated the formalities, and he officially became the new mountain master.

At this time, the system task panel finally appeared updated.

[Side quest: Becoming the mountain master has been completed]

[You have extraordinary talents. You defeated the Qingmu Sect, killed the Pingtian Sect, and made many outstanding achievements. You have been dedicated to the Yanxi Mine and extremely loyal to the Tianjian Sect. You have withstood the test of countless hardships. Finally, the mountain master was moved and decided to give his position to you to take over the great cause.

Since then, you have finally established your position in the Tianjian Sect and have a certain say. You are no longer just a mere disciple. 】

But this time, instead of a new side quest popping up, an evaluation settlement panel appeared.

[Mission 1: Black Mountain Spiritual Mine]

[Task time limit: 30 days/Player time: 26 days]

[Mission 2: Mine Guardian]

[Mission time limit: 3 days/Player time: 1 day (Western leader is on the run)]

[Task 3: Become the Mountain Master]

[Task time limit: 2 years / player time: 2 days and 6 hours]

[Task evaluation: B]

[Your performance exceeds 57% of the players, and the achievement package has been issued]

[You are promoted to the second level of foundation building]

[You get the Earth Escape Talisman*10]

[You get Nine Revolutions Pill*1]

"Fuck, why is the rating so low?"

Chen Lang didn't understand. He was clearly trying his best to show off. Were those players cheating? He couldn't even beat them.

He estimated that it was probably because he let the Western leader go. He should have killed him earlier, which led to him missing out on the S-level gift package.

After receiving the reward, his cultivation level improved slowly, but it was still at the initial stage of foundation building.

This thing is actually in decimal.

After simply consolidating his cultivation, Chen Lang took out some of the spoils seized from the Qingmu Sect and the Pingtian Sect to replenish the Yanxi Mine. There were many materials among them that could be used to repair the mine formation.

He now has a lot of resources at hand, including a bunch of large and small magical instruments and talismans, all of which he distributed to Mr. Jin and the others.

Afterwards, he spent another whole day counting the spirit stones. Together with those he had captured in previous battles, the total amounted to 47. However, since he did not rely on them for cultivation, he could not use them. There was not even enough storage space for them, so he could only find a place to hide them.

There is also a Ten Thousand Souls Banner. He has not dared to touch it since the failed attempt to refine it that day. He suspected that he saw either the Queen of Pingtian Sect or his grandmother in the smoke that day.

After a week of rest, half of the guards returned and the miners also returned one after another. The Qingmu Sect in the distance did not dare to return, and the mines were empty. Chen Lang felt a little embarrassed, so he sent people to occupy the Qingmu Sect's mines as well.

As long as this place is not lost, I can get at least hundreds of thousands of spirit stones a year and I will never have to worry about food and drink.

But just one week after Chen Lang had been repairing the Yanxi Mine, the envoy from the Tianjian Sect suddenly arrived and broke the silence with one sentence:

"Chen Lang, the Tianjian Sect knows about you, and the elders want to call you back."

……

"Call me back?"

Chen Lang was stunned for a moment and said, "Who said that? Zhong Haoran?" Since he occupied the mine, he has announced his real name internally, and the messenger also knows it. It is not surprising that the Tianjian Sect knows that he is alive.

"No, it was brought up by someone at the elders' meeting."

The messenger explained, "They heard that you defeated a branch of the Pingtian Sect and took away a flag, and you also seized a lot of spirit stones, right?"

The messenger lowered his voice and calmly shook off the responsibility, "I know nothing, don't guess anything from me. The Pingtian Sect has been marching along in a mighty manner, and the sect is well aware of their movements. They also have an estimate of how much property they have plundered."

Chen Lang thought for a moment and put down the knife. "Don't worry, I'm a reasonable person. I did get a lot of spirit stones."

It turns out that group of people had bad intentions and they were after this.

Damn it, the Pingtian Sect is slaughtering people everywhere and nothing matters, but this accountant is a professional.

But since it was mentioned, there was no need for him to hide it. But there was one thing that made Chen Lang suspicious, "They knew that the Pingtian Sect had so many spirit stones, why didn't they go and grab them themselves?"

With the abilities of those elders, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to deal with a Western leader?

The messenger smiled and said, "The elder also wants me to ask, how did you manage to take back the Ten Thousand Souls Banner before the Western Cult Leader summoned the Lord of Ten Thousand Souls?"

"Who is the Lord of Ten Thousand Souls? The Queen of Pingtian Sect?"

The messenger nodded.

Chen Lang was silent for a moment, feeling uncomfortable. No wonder he couldn’t subdue the broken flag. It turned out to be a boss summon?
Yes, as early as when he was in Qingzhou City, he heard the flag bearer say that this was the reason why the seven major families did not dare to deal with him.

Fortunately, I was smart and teleported him away in time.

Chen Lang didn't mean to explain, and said, "Sure, when will you go back?"

The mission here is over, and it is indeed time for him to go back, but he hasn't figured out a way yet. But now that the opportunity has come, he naturally will not refuse.

The messenger said that he could do it tomorrow as long as he was ready.

Sure enough, at dawn the next day, Chen Lang saw a rare flying monster flying across the sky, with a wingspan of more than ten feet and a body covered in black feathers.

……

In the Tianjian Sect, a not-so-small elders' meeting had just been held, and a controversy arose over a certain topic.

The exchange was very in-depth, which meant that the argument was very intense.

The cause, of course, was the news that Chen Lang was still alive and occupied the Yanxi Mine.

"Damn it, why isn't this guy dead yet?"

One elder was angry. He didn't want to hear this name again. Now the Tianjian Sect had become famous because of him.

There is a saying in the outside world: There was manure first and then there were immortals, and one sword can smoke up the nine heavens.

Even though they were tens of thousands of miles away, those cultivators didn't know what the Tianjian Sect was, but when they talked about the "Big Dung Immortal", they would immediately know.

The dignified Tianjian Sect was founded on virtue and was extremely protective of its followers. It had cultivated its reputation over countless years, but its name was not as famous as that of the "Fen Immortal".

"In my estimation."

Elder Shi was very calm. He handed over a manual and said, "The Western leader swept through, massacred three cities, and plundered seven small sects. Normally, 3% of the loot would be handed over, and he would have at least 7 spirit stones in his hands, which is enough to make up for most of the deficit."

The reason for the deficit was simple. Before the issue of compensation for the marrow washing pool was resolved, a major incident occurred. It was very secretive and only their internal elders knew something vaguely:
The sect leader seemed to have offended a higher-level force.

There was originally a Nirvana practitioner next to the marrow washing pool, but for some reason he went to the Black Mountain Spiritual Mine and suffered some hardships. As a result, people came to the mine and destroyed it.

The clan leader knew he was in the wrong, so he brought a lot of things to apologize. He was going to add nearly a million to the family's compensation, but now he can't take it out, so they have to continue to collect it.

Then came the news that Chen Lang had defeated the Pingtian Sect, which made them interested.

"He is a guilty person, but he is still alive. Logically, he has made contributions. What do you think we should do with him?" Zhou Tianzheng asked.

An elder sneered, "Achieve merit? What merit? Those are all dirty things. Even if he seized them, it is only natural to return them. Not asking him to compensate for the loss of the entire Tianchi is already quite benevolent."

Elder Shi smiled faintly, "Let's let him come back first. Maybe he was the one who did the Nirvana case as well."

The Speech Elder snorted, "I think it's possible."

The sect leader has been secretly investigating this matter, but the egg has been forgotten by them for too many years, and the sect leader gave the order in his early years, so there is no one guarding it. The investigation is troublesome and will take some time.

He got angry as soon as he started investigating. He was the one on duty guarding Tianchi Lake, and he had to bear the biggest blame. Because of this evil creature, he was so busy that his head was almost going bald.

Zhou Tianzheng frowned, "Everyone, you can't say that. Our Tianjian Sect is not the kind of people who will spread rumors and slander at will. If you can't distinguish between merits and demerits and act based on grudges, it will chill the hearts of the people below."

He also had an extreme dislike for Chen Lang and deeply regretted that he did not die in the Black Mountain Spirit Mine.

But rules are rules. If the Tianjian Sect is acting like a rogue, then it would be better if the sect didn’t have any rules.

"Then let's wait until he comes back to talk."
