Chapter 264 Building Grand Elder Peak! Stressful Work for the Supposedly Magnanimous Grand Elder!!
Less than a week had passed, and a lot had already happened.
First, Mu Lingxi took charge of reorganizing Grand Elder Peak, greatly improving the spiritual energy of the valleys, forests, lakes, and other natural landmarks, as well as enhancing some of the cave abodes available there.
Additionally, she captured several great demons comparable to those at the Nascent Soul Realm that had infested Grand Elder Peak and sealed them using her spatial techniques in an extensively deep pit she made, leading to a pocket dimension she created called the Hollow Demon World.
She had already planned for the Hollow Demon World to be used by Yang Wei to train future disciples of Grand Elder Peak!
Yang Wei's reaction was pretty typical. "Lingxi, I don't have any disciples yet, so aren't you planning a little far ahead?"
Mu Lingxi flicked her hair back elegantly and replied, "Humph! Just leave that to Big Sis Liu and focus on your assigned tasks."
"Erm, okay then..."
The grand elder himself didn't have much to say.
In the end, the actions of those two women allowed Grand Elder Peak to grow day by day.
Liu Yan handled the tasks that required more mental than physical effort.
She knew they needed to recruit disciples to cultivate on Grand Elder Peak, mainly to test the Feng Shui arrangement to ensure the flow of spiritual energy wasn't hindered. These disciples would also contribute to the peak's growth and reputation within the sect.
Liu Yan knew they couldn't poach disciples from other peaks, so she recruited some from the Outer Sect and the Su clan. With Mu Lingxi's help, she also acquired some disciples from the Mu clan.
Notably, some small clans now allied with the Celestial Serpent Sect were also willing to release some of their members.
These disciples all felt differently about their three-day stay on Grand Elder Peak.
"At first, I was skeptical about leaving my clan, but the spiritual energy here is undeniable. Grand Elder Peak has something special going on!"
"I like what ever Big Sister Liu likes!"
"If you're here Big Sister Liu, then I'm sure the Feng Shui here is perfect!"
"I thought I'd miss the hustle and bustle of the Outer Sect, but the tranquility here is addicting!"
"I've been studying Feng Shui for years, but experiencing it firsthand on Grand Elder Peak is a whole new level. It's like the mountain itself breathes with energy."
Since all the disciples under Liu Yan were submissive and willing to do anything for reasons she didn't understand, she decided to put them to work. They were begging her to let them help her in some way, after all.
She gave them seeds to plant and nurture in various parts of Grand Elder Peak, preferably in places that had the components required to accelerate the growth of each kind of seed they were given.
Why are they so eager to help me? And is it normal for the mouths of men to salivate so much like dogs? How strange... Liu Yan thought.
As for Yang Wei. . .
He wanted to start searching for ways to help Mu Lin, but he was swamped with something almost impossible to avoid──the demands of countless Outer Sect disciples, disciples from other peaks eager to switch and serve the great Fate Defying Elder, and even members from various clans!
All this chaos was happening in the Grand Elder Hall, a huge pagoda that had been built long before any other plans for Grand Elder Peak had been carried out. It was already there before Yang Wei returned to the sect. This place would serve as his home──meaning anyone who wanted to talk to him had to come here.
And if he needed to speak with someone, he could send a disciple to summon them to his abode.
Right now, Yang Wei was sitting in a lotus position on a small pillow in the Audience Hall, with He Dongmei standing respectfully behind him as his assistant.
It was a spacious room in the Grand Elder Hall where Yang Wei could meet with people he either granted an audience to or summoned.
Hmm...
He had a frustrated look on his face as he looked at Patriarch Bloodflame, an old man with a full head of white hair and piercing eyes.
Yang Wei picked up his fan.
Hrmm... judging from his aura, he's likely a Nascent Soul expert, he's probably even stronger than Zirou.
He kept a stern eye on the elderly man before him.
"Uh, yes..." Yang Wei smiled uncomfortably.
Patriarch Bloodflame climbed back to his feet while Yang Wei tucked his hands behind his back, standing with the grace of a cultivator from a senior generation.
"Now that I, Yang Wei, have promised you a place in my peak... if there's nothing else, will you leave? It's late and well, this grand elder must go rest with his women."
A very awkward minute of silence passed.
Bloodflame still stood there with puppy dog eyes, one that only irritated Yang Wei.
"I-, is there anything else?"
"Are you truly saying the truth about allowing my clan to serve under you... here... on Grand Elder Peak?"
The uncomfortable smile of Yang Wei turned to one that was holding a very unholy amount of anger. "Yes! Yes! Yes!" he muttered through gritted teeth. "I would never lie, so will you leave me be now?"
Bloodflame scratched the small white beards under his chin as he shyly looked to the side. "Ermm, Grand Elder, you say that, but you are yet to provide us with any cultivation resources..."
Yang Wei gave the elderly man a half-lidded stare. "Next time, say that from the beginning."
"Ahhh, yes, yes..."
With a wave of his hand, Yang Wei manifested a small cloud of blood that transformed into a ceramic jar with a red seal on it. Quietly after, he handed it to Bloodflame.
"This is a jar of 300 fifth-grade blood strengthening pills. For now, it should suffice for your clan."
Being told the contents of the container made Bloodflame's eyes water up like he was going to cry again.
"W-, what?! You don't like it?!" Yang Wei was already worried──he couldn't stand this man crying again.
The patriarch dropped to the ground again and cried.
"BAAAAH! YOU ARE TOO GENEROUS, GRAND ELDER!!"
Getting very tired of this, Yang Wei swished his robes, turned, and walked back to his sitting spot.
"I am aware of my generosity, and even more aware of your undying loyalty. Please, just disappear already."
Patriarch Bloodflame nodded vigorously.
"Yes! Yes! The next time I return, I will present the most beautiful women of our Blood Demon Clan for the Grand Elder. Feel free to do as you wish with all of them! We have fat women, muscular ones, hairy and strong scented ones and the slender and voluptuous!"
He Dongmei laughed very awkwardly. "Please, Patriarch Bloodflame... just leave." She spoke like her usual polite self.
Bloodflame grinned and ran away with the jar.
"Long live the Fate Defying Elder!!"
He shouted as he ran.
He Dongmei turned to Yang Wei who was silently facing a wall.
"Uhh, Senior Brother...?"
"..."
"Are you sure you can handle all this... you've been working for days..."
"..."
"Senior Brother?"
"..."
He'd fallen asleep.
