Chapter 670: This is my last chance
Qi Huang knew very well that if Liu Yingyue announced the suspension of business now, those ordinary sellers would be disheartened and destroy the Ghost Tomatoes in their hands. However, it was worth sacrificing thousands of Ghost Tomatoes to buy Elder Zuo’s share at a low price.
Qi Huang did not go directly to the Immortal Alliance headquarters, but returned home. She had to let the news spread.
Not long after Qi Huang returned, Qin Quan, that old fellow, asked her to go to the main body for a meeting and invited all the high-level figures in the sect.
Qi Huang, Cheng Hong Ling, and their Master Xu Mei went to the Conference Hall. On the way, the master and disciples could not help but guess Qin Quan’s intentions.
With such a grand display, it must be about the Golden Life Flower seeds, as the deadline had arrived, and the owner of the seeds could come to claim them at any time.
Xu Mei made a decisive judgment.
“Yes, after all, the seeds were entrusted to his care. People will only ask him for them, so he’s naturally in a hurry,” Qi Huang teased.
“What are your plans? If all else fails, participate in this year’s Evergreen Convention. With your strength, you can reach the top twenty with your eyes closed,” Xu Mei suggested.
“Master, precisely because our strength is strong enough now, we must not be satisfied with merely returning the Golden Life Flower seeds. We must broaden our horizons. The people of Huang Tian Prefecture have been discriminated against by the entire cultivation world due to their height, and were even almost harmed by their own emperor. I must change this situation,” Qi Huang said with a determined expression.
“Your intention is to put yourself in danger and find more Golden Life Flower seeds, right? I understand! But I am truly worried about your safety. The Tencel Valley Treasure Land not only has the strongest guards of the Immortal Alliance but is also more dangerous than ninety-nine percent of the fierce lands,” Xu Mei said with worry on her face. “Since it is a treasure land, it will naturally attract many terrifying anomalies.”
“Don’t worry, I am now a master at the seventh level of the Heavenly Punishment Realm. So what if I’m lame? I don’t believe there’s anything in this cultivation world that can threaten my personal safety,” Qi Huang confidently reassured her.
Xu Mei wanted to speak but stopped, and finally shook her head helplessly.
“Master, don’t worry! We don’t know if everything Sect Leader Qin said is true or not,” Cheng Hong Ling said from the side.
“You think he lied?” Xu Mei was surprised.
“I don’t know if he lied or not, but this matter doesn’t seem logical no matter how you look at it. Why don’t you think about it carefully? Since the owner of the Golden Life Flower seeds could obtain them, they couldn’t possibly lack the ability to protect them. Why send them to the remote HongHua Sect? Is the HongHua Sect stronger than them?” Cheng Hong Ling reminded her.
“Not necessarily, perhaps their strength is limited? It’s safer to hide them than to protect them at all costs. The HongHua Sect, such a remote and small sect, is naturally the best choice,” Xu Mei had a different opinion.
“The other party repeatedly said they wanted to use this as bait to get more Golden Life Flower seeds. This is not something that ordinary cultivators would dare to say. After all, fools know that only the Tencel Valley Treasure Land has that stuff,” Qi Huang refuted.
“Indeed, after careful consideration, it does not seem logical,” Xu Mei pondered for a moment and said.
“So don’t worry, let’s take it one step at a time. I want to see what kind of tricks are going on here,” Cheng Hong Ling’s beautiful eyes revealed a trace of brilliance. With the help of her clone, her cultivation had reached the third level of the Shentong Realm, so her strong confidence gradually reappeared.
The master and disciples soon arrived at the Conference Hall, where all the high-level figures of the HongHua Sect were already present.
The HongHua Sect was now the top five sect in the entire Xihui Dynasty, so the management layer had also been expanded. Under the Sect Leader, there were Left and Right Protectors, and under the Protectors, there were ten Grand Elders.
Of course, these people in the HongHua Sect had to defer to Cheng Hong Ling and Qi Huang.
“Hong Ling, can I tell them about the Golden Life Flower seeds?” Qin Quan cautiously asked for her opinion.
“Mm,” Cheng Hong Ling nodded almost imperceptibly, as it was not a secret that could not be revealed.
Qin Quan breathed a sigh of relief, and then recounted the whole story. After all, most of the elders were newly appointed and had switched careers midway, so they were completely unaware of this matter.
“This is strange. Although Golden Life Flower seeds are rare, there’s no need to make such a fuss? Tens of thousands of them are given to various countries as rewards by the Immortal Alliance every year. Why would someone send them to the HongHua Sect from afar to hide them?” The intelligent Right Protector immediately raised his objection. His surname was Fang. Although he had joined the HongHua Sect not long ago, his cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Huashen Realm, and coupled with his resourcefulness, he had quickly climbed to this position.
“Perhaps the forces behind him are not very strong either? For ordinary sects, obtaining a Golden Life Flower seed is indeed not easy,” some elders guessed.
“The other party repeatedly said they wanted to use this as bait to obtain more Golden Life Flower seeds. Is this something ordinary cultivators would say?” Protector Fang shook his head and refuted, his thoughts identical to Qi Huang’s.
“What he thinks is not important,” Qin Quan waved his hand and said, “The most important thing is that the deadline has arrived, and what can we use to report back to them?”
“This is easy. The Evergreen Convention is about to begin. With Hong Ling’s strength, she can reach the top twenty in the Xihui Dynasty with her eyes closed, right? After obtaining the reward, we can give it to him!” Protector Fang suggested, and everyone nodded in agreement.
“What if the other party comes to claim it in advance? Will they give us time?” Qin Quan retorted, and the hall fell silent.
“No need to discuss further. I never thought of participating in the Evergreen Convention, nor did I think of returning the Golden Life Flower seeds. The forces behind that person want to use the scent of this thing to attract Lightning Eagles to find more Golden Life Flower seeds, right? The smell on my body now is no weaker than that of the Golden Life Flower seeds. I’ll go with him as bait,” Qi Huang said impatiently.
“Why?” Protector Fang asked confusedly.
“Because I also want Golden Life Flower seeds. Since someone is leading the way, why not?” Qi Huang’s eyes shone with excitement.
“But what if the other party disagrees?” an elder raised an objection.
“Disagree? Anyway, the seeds are gone. Will he return empty-handed to report back?” Qi Huang retorted, then added, “Moreover, I don’t plan to seek their opinion.”
“Qi Huang, Golden Life Flower seeds are indeed good, but they can only be found in the Tencel Valley Treasure Land at the southernmost end of the cultivation world. That place is not only strictly guarded by the Immortal Alliance but also attracts countless lonely souls and mountain spirits and wild monsters. It is said to be more dangerous than the ten fierce lands of the cultivation world. Isn’t this too risky?” Protector Fang kindly reminded her, as he did not know Qi Huang’s true strength, only that Cheng Hong Ling had reached the Shentong Realm.
“Yes, Qi Huang, you are the future of the HongHua Sect, you absolutely cannot be impulsive,” Elder Ruan, the grandfather of Ruan Lingyu, also advised her.
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. This matter is happily decided, and there’s no need for further discussion,” Qi Huang said in a commanding tone, and everyone in the hall exchanged glances.
No one dared to raise any further objections.
“Sect Leader Qin, if the owner of the Golden Life Flower seeds comes to demand them, notify me immediately, understand?” Qi Huang reminded him again. She was really afraid that those Senior Sisters would cause trouble.
“Okay,” Qin Quan nodded repeatedly.
Qi Huang then left the Conference Hall, and Cheng Hong Ling followed her. She was already a woman of few words, and it was great that her clone could step forward.
Xu Mei saw her disciple leave and quickly followed.
“Master, the deadline has arrived. You must keep a close eye on my Senior Sisters. I know they have been investigating who the owner of the Golden Life Flower seeds is all these years. Who knows what they have found out? Don’t let them do anything reckless,” Cheng Hong Ling entrusted her with concern.
“Don’t worry, I will keep a close eye on them,” Xu Mei nodded in understanding.
Returning home, Qi Huang continued to help her main body improve her clone’s strength, and then it was time to sleep.
Qi Huang did not forget the important matter. She took a strong sleeping pill and soon fell asleep asleep.
Not long after, Qi Huang had a dream. After several months, she saw Lu Yao again.
At this moment, Lu Yao was traveling at high speed through the heavenly realm, searching for Heaven-Concealing Water and Ghost Tomatoes. The Heaven-Concealing Water was used to hide her aura, and the Ghost Tomatoes were for nourishing the “Boundless Demonic Hair.”
“The voluptuous and stimulating main body only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. This might be my last chance. I must figure out how to use the Assimilation Power!” Qi Huang prayed silently. The intervals at which she dreamed of Cheng Ling were getting longer, which meant that the memories carried by that facial skin were almost absorbed by her. If she didn’t find the method of using the Assimilation Power this time, she would just have her Spirit Soul completely feminized and become a complete woman.
