"Um, how could this be considered pocket money?" Hatashi felt like a scapegoat. While it was true that the head of the One Qi Sect was wealthy and generous, the wealth was not his alone.

"Head, it's not unreasonable for Brother Wuxian to make this request," slyly remarked Elder Fengshen.

"..."

Hatashi gave Elder Fengshen a disdainful look but didn't dare say much more.

Elder Fengshen chuckled, completely unfazed.

"Long Wuxian, here are ten bags of immortal-grade spirit stones. Bring back the Saint Emperor Demon Stone for this head!!!" Gnashing his teeth, Hatashi flung the bags into Long Wuxian's arms, then vanished in a flash.

Hatashi felt he should leave this place of trouble as soon as possible, or perhaps he never should have come today!

"Thank you, Head." Long Wuxian shouted, then stored the bags in a top-grade bracelet with larger internal storage than usual. With these ten bags of immortal-grade spirit stones, his advancement worries were over.

Demon Cloud Mountain, located two hundred miles away from the Tianyi Mountain Range, was almost connected to it.

After receiving the spirit stones, Long Wuxian flew straight to the Demon Sacred Mountain. By the time he reached the outskirts of the mountain, dusk had fallen.

Being a place for disciples of the One Qi Sect to train, the mountain was chaotic with demon gods, with many dangerous spots!

Therefore, the One Qi Sect clearly delineated the areas where demon gods were active so that disciples could boldly enter the Demon Sacred Mountain.

After all, the Sect didn't send disciples to die but to train. If there were great demon gods in the area, it would pose a huge threat to the disciples of the One Qi Sect.

Looking around, dense jungles covered the area, with towering ancient trees blocking out the sky in the central region!

Howls...

Even standing at the entrance of the Demon Sacred Mountain, the occasional roars and cries of the demon gods could be heard from inside the mountain, a strong oppressive feeling hanging over the entire mountain range.

"Let's go, hurry and kill a few demon gods, so I can accumulate more beast spirits to eat!" Yunxiang crouched on Long Wuxian's shoulder, continuously licking her paws.

"Hmph, you're quite greedy, aren't you?" Long Wuxian smacked Yunxiang's head. He realized this cat was quite peculiar, perhaps harboring some unknown secrets. Its ability to devour beast spirits was even more abnormal than his Nine Jade Dragon Formula, practically treating them as meals!

Of course, although these demon gods were indeed abnormal, as long as they were in his hands, Long Wuxian was confident he would eventually be able to tame them.

With a flicker, Long Wuxian, accompanied by Yunxiang, entered the Demon Sacred Mountain directly. He attached great importance to this trip to the site of the Imperial Emperor's legacy and aimed to enhance his strength during this training opportunity.

As Hatashi had said, he must quickly narrow the gap between himself and Yu Tianlong. Facing such a monstrous talent, improvements could happen rapidly, and he might break through to the Saint Emperor Realm at any moment!

Therefore, Long Wuxian dared not be neglectful. Six months was too short for a cultivator.

Meanwhile, in the inner courtyard of the One Qi Sect.

In a quiet courtyard, Xiu Xiu and Elder Lingshi gathered together.

"Elder Lingshi, Long Wuxian has gone to the Demon Sacred Mountain. With his strength, it is certain death to enter the site of the Imperial Emperor!" Xiu Xiu said coldly.

"Well... but this kid has exceptional talent, and according to Elder Feng's words, he is also a formidable illusionist. If we don't eliminate such an enemy quickly, the threat is too great," Elder Lingshi frowned, sensing the terror of Long Wuxian. As a master at the Saint Emperor level, it was the first time he found an outer sect disciple of the Immortal Emperor Realm so formidable.

"Whether he dares to go or not, I won't miss this opportunity to get rid of him. I must avenge my brother! I have secretly informed people from the Tianlong Sect about Long Wuxian's whereabouts. When the time comes, I will help him sneak into the Demon Sacred Mountain. That day, when Long Wuxian killed that person's brother in the square, he has been wanting to kill Long Wuxian, but never had the chance..."

Xiu Xiu scoffed.

"To think of Yu Tianlong? Besides, he's always busy, doesn't really know Long Wuxian, won't he possibly call in someone who might not be a match for Long Wuxian?" Elder Lingshi was worried.

"Hmph! Things are different at the Demon Sacred Mountain. During the day, I will face Long Wuxian head-on, that guy isn't my match at all, just relying on superb agility to evade. Plus, my mind was in turmoil at the time, unable to exert my full strength. If we fight again, I am absolutely certain I can kill him!"

With a cold grunt, Xiu Xiu continued, "Regardless of who Yu Tianlong sends, this time I will go with that person to the Demon Sacred Mountain to deal with Long Wuxian. We will strike in secret, look for opportunities, catch him off guard. With our strength, we can definitely make sure a single blow will be fatal!"

"Good, we must get rid of this kid this time. And when do you plan to tell your father about your brother's death?" Elder Lingshi inquired.

"Hmph, after I kill Long Wuxian, I will take his head and my brother's corpse back to mourn!" Xiu Xiu's eyes flashed with cold determination, filled with a relentless desire to kill Long Wuxian.

Amidst the discussions, what was supposed to be a quiet cultivation session had turned into a major event. To many, Long Wuxian had just arrived at the One Qi Sect and had no idea how powerful Bei Yuxin's backing was. Hence, he acted so arrogantly; it might not be long before he had to back down.

However, conflicts and disputes stirred like the one over the competition for the cultivation platform were quite common. Usually, if the cultivations were similar in level, they would directly battle to determine the winner. Troublesome individuals like Luli would be avoided altogether.

But today, Feiyu and the others were emboldened by their connection with Long Wuxian, so they stood up against Bei Yuxin, leading to this major conflict.

Bei Yuxin had left not long ago, while Feixue and the others had been carried away. The people from Bei Yuxin's side also disappeared with their wounded.

Despite the remaining people still at the One Qi Plaza for cultivation, most were engaged in discussions without being able to truly focus.

As for the elders of the One Qi Sect, they had not appeared from the beginning to the end.

The One Qi Sect was huge, with thousands of disciples, and conflicts among them were quite normal. Moreover, the elders not only refrained from intervening in such disputes but promoted them.

In a world where only the strong survived, disputes were inevitable, as they were essential for true growth to happen.

Therefore, in general, as long as no lives were lost, the elders would not show up.

In the outer courtyard area.

Feiyu and the others resided in the same courtyard, all lying in bed unable to get up. After taking some healing pills, some of them had regained consciousness, but getting out of bed was still a challenge.

At that moment, Long Wuxian walked in.

"Elder Long."

Seeing him, the others in the courtyard quickly greeted him with extreme respect, both in tone and manner. After Long Wuxian stood up for them today, he had become an almost idolized figure in their hearts.

Moreover, with Long Wuxian's cultivation at the Immortal Emperor Realm easily defeating the top ten in the outer sect, he truly embodied a monstrous talent, leaving an endless sense of shock in their minds.

"How are Feiyu and the others?" Long Wuxian asked.

"The injuries are quite serious; Luli and the others were too ruthless. It looks like they won't be able to get out of bed for at least ten days or so," Feixue shook her head.

"Let me have a look," Long Wuxian hastily approached to inquire.

"Please, Elder Long." Feixue immediately opened one of the room doors, revealing the five beaten individuals lying inside. Seeing Long Wuxian enter, they struggled to sit up.

Long Wuxian first went to Feiyu and grabbed his arm.

"E-Elder Long."

Feiyu's face tensed, seemingly filled with guilt for today's events.

"I know, no need to say anything," Long Wuxian said as he channeled terrifying True Qi into Feiyu's body through his meridians like flowing water.

Hum!

The sudden influx of True Qi felt like a long-dried river suddenly encountering a rainfall, causing all of Feiyu’s wounds to visibly start healing.

Shortly after, Feiyu's face began showing intense shock; he stared at Long Wuxian in disbelief, unable to say a word.

Feiyu was stunned to find that after Long Wuxian's True Qi swept through his injuries, they started rapidly recovering at a visible rate. The healing effect was much better than the top-grade healing pills at the One Qi Sect.

A few minutes later, Long Wuxian released Feiyu's arm, and at that moment, Feiyu felt energized, instantly sitting up from the bed and walking around without any discomfort.

"My goodness, my injuries... they're completely healed." Feiyu immediately felt a dizziness forming; he was well aware of his injuries and the typical healing time with standard healing pills. Yet, the True Qi input by Long Wuxian allowed him to stand up within minutes, fully recovered and brimming with vitality, just as he was before.

This was nothing short of miraculous – a miracle Feiyu wouldn't believe had he not experienced it firsthand happening to himself.

Not only Feiyu, but everybody in the room was left gaping in disbelief, looking at Feiyu in awe and then at Long Wuxian.

What kind of extraordinary healing technique was this?!

With immense strength and such extraordinary healing abilities, it seemed Long Wuxian was a reincarnation of a ruler of the Six Realms!
