Chapter 94 - 83: A Hundred Peaks Alliance, This is What You Call Life

"Good~!"

Upon hearing Great Elder Li Xuandao’s words, Li Daoran and the others all nodded.

However, when Li Xuandao’s gaze fell on them, their mood immediately dampened.

They only heard Li Xuandao say to Li Daoran:

"Well, Daoran, as the Sect Master, you should start first."

"Aren’t there several dragon spirit fish kept on your back mountain?"

"Back when that boy was still simple-minded, his favorite place was the pond where you keep your dragon spirit fish."

"You have quite a lot of them, just hand him a dozen or two."

"Elder, eh? A dozen or two? But I only have a dozen fish in total."

Hearing Great Elder Li Xuandao’s words, Li Daoran was completely befuddled.

We all agreed with what you said, but why are you putting the knife to me?

"Only a dozen? Then just hand them all over."

"Aren’t there more in the South Mysterious Sea? If you want to rear them later on, just catch more, right?"

Li Daoran: "I..."

"What? You disagree?"

"Think about that child Chang’an, he’s so pitiful. Kings die for the state, the Emperor guards the nation’s gate..."

"Stop, stop, stop, Elder, you just stop, I’ll give them, isn’t that enough?"

Li Daoran was already in tears.

However, in the next moment, he pointed to Xuan Qingzi and Bai Yunzi next to him and said:

"Ah, Elder, I have a complaint. Brother Xuan Qingzi and Brother Bai have spirit milk and spirit wine on their mountains."

"Rest assured, they will also give their share." Li Xuandao nodded.

"Elder, no, don’t!"

Hearing this, Xuan Qingzi and Bai Yunzi who were initially enjoying the drama became befuddled and shouted in refusal.

"If you really don’t want to give, I won’t force you. But just think about that child Chang’an..."

"Alright, Elder, please stop. We’ll give, we’ll give!"

Seeing Li Xuandao use this move again, Bai Yunzi and Xuan Qingzi were both silent.

Although this tactic of Li Xuandao was a loss to them, it was incredibly effective!

"Hm, good, so it’s settled."

"I’ll leave first. The sect affairs are now in your hands."

Only then did Li Xuandao leave satisfied.

"Brother Sect Master, what...?"

Upon Li Xuandao’s departure, Xuan Qingzi and Bai Yunzi looked at each other, then turned their gazes to Li Daoran.

Speaking frankly, if they were just giving Chen Chang’an the specialties from their peaks, they would be willing.

However, it utterly does not include these exquisite specialties!

Giving away the specialties out of admiration for Chen Chang’an’s dedication were one thing, handing over these exceptional specialties, that’s practically asking for their lives!

Take Li Daoran’s dragon spirit fish for example.

This type of fish is no ordinary commodity!

Although it’s not a powerful beast, its flesh is exceptionally delicious.

Each piece of flesh is filled with an infinite amount of immortal spirit energy.

Not only is it tasty, but it also has great beautifying effects.

If mundane people ate a piece of its flesh, they could remain youthful forever.

This type of fish is only found in the South Mysterious Sea.

And it only emerges every hundred years, a mere few times.

The ones Li Daoran keeps in the back mountains, he obtained these after hundreds of trips to the South Mysterious Sea.

All totaled, it took him four to five hundred years.

He’s reluctant to eat these fish on a regular basis.

No!

Not to mention eating it, he wouldn’t even sell it.

There were many people offering a thousand Dao Source Stones for a single fish, but they were all ruthlessly rejected by Li Daoran.

And now, he’s expected to simply give all these fish to Chen Chang’an?

Li Daoran’s heart was practically bleeding!

Next, let’s talk about the spirit wine from Bai Yunzi’s mountain.

This spirit wine is made from specially cultivated spirit monkeys—it’s the Immortal Spirit Monkey wine.

The Immortal Spirit Monkey wine not only has a more mellow taste than wild monkey wine, but it also contains a substantial amount of Immortal Spirit Energy.

If a person drank this wine, not only would their body feel relaxed...

Their comprehension would subtly change!

Moreover, some people could even achieve enlightenment just by having a cup of Immortal Spirit Monkey wine!

This wine is that amazing!

However.

This wine has an extremely low yield.

Almost only one or two jars are produced every hundred years.

Because of this low yield, even Bai Yunzi who’s the acting Peak Master of Wendao Peak had not tried it much.

Moreover, he could only have a few sips every time.

To drink a lot? That’s practically impossible!

Not that he couldn’t drink, he just didn’t have the heart to!

Therefore, the Great Elder now wants him to give this wine away. Isn’t this tantamount to him asking for his life?!

As for what’s on Xuan Qingzi’s mountain, there’s no need to elaborate.

It’s something no less inferior than the previous two.

"No, Brother, it’s not that I don’t want to give."

"Honestly, Brother Chen has poured everything he has into the sect."

"I’d be the first to agree with giving him some warmth."

"Even if we were to give him all the Immortal Spirit wine stored on my mountain to improve his health, I’d agree."

"It’s just that...I feel a little imbalance in my heart!"

Bai Yunzi looked at Li Daoran and was the first to speak.

Although Xuan Qingzi, who was standing next door, didn’t say anything, the expression on his face also made his attitude clear.

"Brother Bai, then tell me, what do you want to do?"

Li Daoran’s question, even though it was asked with a tone of inquiry, anyone with discerning eyes could hear the expectation within it.

Li Daoran did not want to be slaughtered easily either!

"Elder Brother, heh, it’s simple."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yunzi let out a deep laugh, then he lowered his voice and said,

"Don’t forget,we of the Tianshui Sect have a total of one hundred and eight peaks."

"Even if you discount the undeveloped ones, there are still quite a few peaks with good stuff."

"And, their good stuff is not any less than ours."

"For instance, the spiritual bamboo from the Big Pond Peak, the Immortal Fruits from theTurquoise Pond Peak..."

"And those old foxes hoard everything, usually, we could not even get some of these treasures even if we wanted to."

"I think we can create a situation for them."

As Bai Yunzi spoke, he made a gesture with his hand.

In an instant, both Li Daoran and Xuan Qingzi understood.

He’s planning to bring others into the team!

"Brother Bai, is this really a good idea?" both Li Daoran and Xuan Qingzi asked with slightly furrowed brows.

However, despite their frowns,

in their heart, they were already deeply hopeful and excited.

A thousand voices were telling them to go on with it.

Nevertheless, they were the elder brothers of the mountain lords.

As elders, they were like the heads of a large family within the sect.

It felt a bit tough to exploit their younger brothers like this.

"Sect Leader Elder Brother, Elder Brother Xuan Qingzi,"

"Don’t worry, this won’t have any impact."

Knowing the doubts of the two Li Daoran, Bai Yunzi replied with a light smile,

"After all, we’re only letting these brothers share Brother Chen’s love for the sect."

"Just applying Uncle Shi’s words."

"Apart from that, we’ve done nothing."

Finishing his words, Bai Yunzi gave the two a suggestive glance,

bearing a ’you know what I mean’ expression.

"But Brother Bai, we had just promised Brother Xuan Qingzi not to spread it."

"Really, there’s no impact at all?"

Li Daoran was still somewhat hesitant.

Bai Yunzi replied nonchalantly:

"Elder Brother, you rest assured."

"This is a simple matter. When the time comes, we’ll ask the disciples to swear an oath of secrecy, isn’t that fine?"

"Isn’t that right, Brother Xuan Qingzi?" After speaking, he fixed his gaze upon Xuan Qingzi.

"Exactly, what Brother Bai said makes sense."

Bai Yunzi nodded.

"Then, shall we start now?"

"We must start now!"

"Bring it on~~~~!"

"....."

That night, something terrifying happened at the Tianshui Sect.

According to those disciples on the night shift, it was as if a ghost had appeared in a side hall of the sect’s main hall.

All night long, from that room, the chilling laughter of ’bring it on~~’ was heard continually.

It was as if a Great Demon was inside.

What was more terrifying was that every once in a while, a sect mountain lord would rush from outside.

Entering the room with great interest and returning with a grimace not long after.

Their gloomy faces were frightening as if someone owed them eight thousand Dao Source Stones and hadn’t repaid them.

...

As the flowers bloom on both ends, each one takes a branch.

At the same time when the disciples were horrified by the incident in the main hall, something unusual was also happening at the Dao Collection Mountain.

It seemed like from this day forward, every day, disciples of different peaks would come up the mountain to deliver things.

Sometimes it was a fresh fish, full of Immortal Spirit.

Sometimes it was a bottle of rich, fragrant wine, or sometimes a large, round and tender spiritual bamboo.

Almost every day brought something new, and there was never a repeat.

This led to Mao Ruxue not needing to go down the mountain to buy food for a long time since she couldn’t even finish the food that was being delivered.

"Elder Brother, what’s going on here? Why is there someone from the sect delivering food to us every day?"

"And it all looks especially delicious."

This morning, after eating a juicy southern sea dragon fish with Chen Chang’an, Mao Ruxue couldn’t help but ask Chang’an about this.

"Oh, you’re talking about that?"

"I don’t know, maybe the Sect Leader went crazy."

Chen Chang’an picked up the wine bottle in front of him, poured a cup of Immortal Monkey Wine into the cup, took a light sip, and immediately felt refreshed.

"Sister, would you care for a sip?"

As he spoke, Chen Chang’an passed the wine bottle to Mao Ruxue and asked.

"No, no."

Mao Ruxue shook her head vigorously.

"Elder Brother, I don’t like drinking this. You go ahead."

She was okay with drinking tea, but she never liked drinking wine.

Even though she knew...

This wine is rich and fragrant, and very delicious.
