The two disciples of Clear River Faction looked at each other, but they did not dare to refute. They lowered their heads and agreed.

However, not long after they went away, a white-robed cultivator rushed over. “Branch Master, I heard that you want to get someone to slaughter the Pei family in Deer Spring City?”

“Dongmeng.” When Miao Chengyang saw this cultivator, he nodded slightly and said, “That’s right, there is such a thing.”

The white-robed cultivator, Yin Dongmeng, sized him up and suddenly waved his hand to set up a barrier to prevent prying. He said in a low voice, “Branch Master, forgive me for being blunt, but this is not appropriate!”

Miao Chengyang frowned. It was not that he did not like him for disobeying him, but he did not understand. “Why not? The Pei family in Deer Spring City is insignificant. Killing them is a small matter. Moreover…”

He pondered for a moment and hinted tactfully, “Although their eldest son, Pei Hongnian, is a good-for-nothing, Pei Ling, who has just entered the sect, is talented and has been hanging out with Zheng Jingshan.

If slaughtering the Pei family now can make Pei Ling’s Dao heart suffer a setback, it will be a good thing for core disciple Zhou.

Therefore, even if Pei Ling uses his connection to beg core disciple Li for help regarding the massacre of his family, core disciple Zhou will bear the pressure.

Then what’s the problem with slaughtering the Pei family?”

“Branch Master.” Yin Dongmeng lowered his voice and reminded him softly, “No matter how talented this Pei Ling is, he’s only a small outer sect disciple who has just entered the sect. As for you, you have a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation. The Branch Master of Clear River Faction personally went to hunt him down. Not only did you fail, but you were also injured… If this matter gets out, it’s fine if others discuss it, but what will core disciple Zhou think?

The reason why core disciple Zhou is willing to support us is because Branch Master has been suppressing Zheng Jingshan since he was an outer sect disciple.

If he finds out that you actually suffered a loss at the hands of a mere outer sect disciple like Pei Ling, no matter how you suffered, will core disciple Zhou still value Clear River Faction as much as before?”

Miao Chengyang was stunned when he heard this. His expression changed as he explained, “I didn’t lose to Pei Ling, but…”

It was difficult to say anything about Jiao Ni after swearing an inner demon oath. At this moment, as he was thinking about how to phrase his words, he heard Yin Dongmeng say, “Branch Master, this is not about whether you lost to Pei Ling. The difference in cultivation, identity, and status between you and Pei Ling is huge. Even if he flees from you in a sorry state, he will become famous from the battle. And if you kill him with two additional punches, it’s something he can be proud of. Moreover, you didn’t manage to kill him!”

So you have to hide the fact that you personally went to the Gu Abyss to hunt down Pei Ling.

We must not slaughter the Pei family in Deer Spring City.

The entire Pei family is insignificant, but killing them won’t kill Pei Ling. It’s equivalent to telling everyone that the Branch Master can’t do anything to Pei Ling now and can only vent his anger on his family!

Wouldn’t this damage the Branch Master’s dignity for no reason and make Pei Ling famous?”

He said in a low voice, “It just so happens that Zheng Jingshan came to provoke you previously to create a diversion. At that time, you got someone to tell him that you were in seclusion.

In that case, the Branch Master has never left this place, much less chased after Pei Ling.

The reason why the Branch Master was injured was because he was careless in his cultivation and suffered some damage. He would recover after resting for a few days… Whoever said that they saw you in the Gu Abyss was deliberately framing the Clear River Faction!

Branch Master, if we don’t do this, once we lose our status in front of core disciple Zhou, where will our Clear River Faction go?

Because of Zheng Jingshan, the current core disciples of the Holy Sect will definitely not accept us.

As for core disciple Su, he will definitely not rashly get involved in the battle for the position of the next Saintess.

So we have no choice.

We can only follow core disciple Zhou.

So how can we let core disciple Zhou misunderstand our Clear River Faction and think that we can’t even deal with an outer sect disciple?”

The muscles on Miao Chengyang’s face twitched. His expression changed for a while before he said dejectedly, “… You’re right. I was rash. I’ll get them to come back now.”

Seeing that he was willing to listen to his advice, Yin Dongmeng secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He consoled him a little and said, “However, Branch Master only wants to mess up Pei Ling’s state of mind. Actually, there’s no need for us to do it ourselves. After all, when I was investigating this person previously, I realized that although he’s a descendant of the Pei family, because his biological mother passed away early and his stepmother suppresses him, even his father is not very close to him.

His stepmother, in particular, is bent on wanting her biological son, Pei Tu, to surpass Pei Ling.

However, Pei Tu is still in Deer Spring City. Pei Ling was accidentally brought to the Holy Sect. That woman is jealous and narrow-minded. I’m afraid she already hates Pei Ling to the core. As long as she gets a chance, she will see to it that Pei Ling comes to no good end.

There’s also Pei Hongnian. He’s the eldest son that the Pei family has placed high hopes on for many years. In the end, he has been relying on Zheng Jingshan for many years and has never been placed in an important position. As for Pei Ling, he has only been in the sect for a few days, but Zheng Jingshan has already nurtured him personally.

It’s one thing if Pei Hongnian doesn’t know about this, but if he does, will he be willing to accept it?”

“I heard that Pei Hongnian is a good-for-nothing.” Miao Chengyang pondered and said, “I’m afraid that even if he has any objection, he can’t do anything to that little bastard, Pei Ling.”

Yin Dongmeng smiled. “Branch Master, although Pei Hongnian is trash, don’t forget that the outer sect female disciple he’s infatuated with is not easy to deal with.”

The two of them looked at each other and relaxed.

At this moment, the puppet attendant was in a quiet room specially prepared for Pei Ling in the Kulan Courtyard.

Pei Ling consumed the healing pills Zheng Jingshan had given him and had almost fully recovered. He then carefully checked the herbs and the furnace in front of him. After confirming that there was nothing missing, he called the system in his mind. “System, I want to refine pills!”

System: “Ding-Dong! Smart Cultivation System is sincerely at your service…”

At this moment, Pei Ling was still very relaxed. After all, he was in Kulan Courtyard and had Zheng Jingshan to take care of everything. Meanwhile, his cultivation level had reached the sixth level of Qi Refinement and he had an eighth-grade Immortal Fire. He could refine at least 10 furnaces with his spiritual power this time!

He calculated the price of each batch of pills based on 12 Bone Tempering Pills per batch. One Bone Tempering Pill was worth 55 inferior-grade Spirit Stones, which added up to a total of 6,600 inferior-grade Spirit Stones.

After deducting the cost of materials and the protection fee he planned to give Zheng Jingshan, that was…

Before he could finish his thought, a familiar sense of fatigue overwhelmed him. Pei Ling’s expression changed. Why is the consumption of the Cold Marrow Fire so high?!

Before he finished refining the first batch of pills, he had already lost half of his spiritual power.

The system did not react to his doubts and focused on processing the herbs.

It could be seen that because of the change to a better immortal fire, the system’s processing of various materials this time was more meticulous. The quality of the medicinal liquid that went into the furnace was also better.

However, Pei Ling was on tenterhooks as he felt the rapid consumption of his physical and spiritual energy. He felt that the situation was different from what he had imagined.

After a while, the first batch of pills was finally refined. At this moment, Pei Ling was already sweating profusely.

He had never worked so hard even when he first started refining pills!

“Ding-dong!” At this moment, the system stopped what it was doing. “Host’s spiritual force is insufficient. This management cultivation session is over. Thank you for using the smart cultivation system. You have ascended without a worry with a single click! I look forward to you sharing your cultivation evaluation. If you are satisfied, please give me a five-star rating!”

Pei Ling felt dizzy when he regained control of his body. If not for the fact that he held onto the furnace handle in time, he would have fallen!

The feeling of emptiness in his meridians that he had not felt for a long time made him feel especially uncomfortable. Pei Ling couldn’t care less as he hurriedly went forward to open the furnace.

As soon as he took a look, he was stunned. There were only two Bone Tempering Pills in this furnace!
