Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

”Enter.”

Chen Ye casually waved his hand, removing the restriction by the door.

The wooden door was cautiously pushed open, and a small, thin cultivator with a sharp, monkey-like face dressed in gray walked in.

He was carrying a large tray laden with sizzling, oily demon beast leg meat, sprinkled with some mysterious red spices, and accompanied by several jugs of spirit wine and a few plates of delicate spirit fruit side dishes.

”Wow—”

Qing Jun cheered, her eyes gleaming.

Almost the instant the tray touched the table, the little girl lunged at it without caring if it was hot, grabbing a piece of roasted meat larger than her face and devouring it eagerly.

”Mmm... delicious, delicious! Master, hurry up and eat!”

With her mouth greasy, she mumbled indistinctly and didn’t forget to push another large, juicy piece of meat towards Chen Ye.

Eating, for Qing Jun, was a delight.

But watching her master eat was the ultimate happiness!

Unfortunately, the master was busy and had no time to dine with the little girl.

Zhiwei rubbed her brows, a bit exasperated, and silently poured a cup of clear tea for Chen Ye, pretending not to notice the little hungry dragon’s feast.

Jin’er obediently took out a handkerchief and sat beside Qing Jun, ready to wipe her little senior sister’s mouth anytime - in fact, she was older than Qing Jun.

Chen Ye took the teacup, his gaze falling on the small, thin cultivator who claimed to be the Baodingtong.

”Bang.”

Casually, he placed a middle-grade spirit stone, shimmering with a faint glow, on the table.

”Since the shopkeeper says you have the most reliable information in this Yellow Lion District, I will get straight to the point.”

Chen Ye’s slender fingers gently tapped the table, his voice deep,

”Two things.”

”First, what exactly happened in the Celestial Abyss? Why is it being said outside that the Emotion Crossing Sect is capturing people everywhere to explore the path?”

”Second, where was that Bai Family female cultivator, who cut down six districts in a row, last seen?”

Seeing the spirit stone on the table, Baodingtong swallowed hard.

As expected,

This gentleman is indeed generous!

An ordinary Loose Cultivator earns only a few spirit stones a month, and this gentleman casually offered a year’s worth of a Loose Cultivator’s savings.

Truly a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

He thought to himself:

”The shopkeeper said this group is from overseas merchants who have been trading in Qi Kingdom for decades. Now, with the chaos between the Yan and Qi, the situation is changing. They’re likely quite worried too...”

Baodingtong understood perfectly, but although he coveted that spirit stone, he restrained himself from reaching for it immediately, and respectfully said:

”You’ve asked the right person, sir! There’s no secret in this Yellow Lion District that I don’t know!”

”Regarding the change in the Celestial Abyss, it’s not really a secret. It’s just that an important person from the Holy Sect went missing there!”

The dark-haired girl’s eyes flickered slightly as she glanced silently at her master.

Besides the True Inheritor Bai... someone significant from the Emotion Crossing Sect is also missing?

When combined with the recent beheading operations by the True Inheritor Bai.

Could it be...

Baodingtong leaned in mysteriously, even though he knew the room was already set with a sound insulation restriction, he still lowered his voice as if he were guilty:

”It’s said to be the Divine Son of the Holy Sect! Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why the Holy Sect is so frantic, ignoring even the Lingyin Sect’s attacks, allowing Bai Susu to murder freely!”

”The Duqing Divine Son?”

Chen Ye appropriately displayed a shocked expression.

”Exactly!”

Baodingtong swallowed nervously, still shaken,

”That’s why the Holy Sect’s upper echelons went mad and completely sealed off the Celestial Abyss’s perimeter. Now they’re capturing us Loose Cultivators without any backing everywhere, forcing us to step on traps!”

”And what about that Bai Family female cultivator?” Chen Ye’s finger gently tapped the table, bringing the topic back.

”Hey, sir, you’re really hitting the nail on the head with this question.”

Baodingtong stared intently at the middle-grade spirit stone, his eyes shining, and spilled the beans as easily as spilling beans,

”That Bai Susu, seeing the Holy Sect unable to mind other matters, has been murdering wantonly! Just a few days ago, she killed the workshop master of the Yellow Lion District. I think it won’t be long before the Lingyin Sect sends its army... likely, they’ve already cleared Black Cliff City and can deal with the Holy Sect.”

”As for now... rest assured, Bai Susu is indeed from the Lingyin Sect and won’t slaughter you caravan folks. Recently, it’s said she headed to the Huansha Archipelago nearby. There, that’s the real stronghold of the Holy Sect, as for our small markets, the Lingyin Sect probably doesn’t care about them.”

In the eyes of all Qi Kingdom cultivators, that formidable Bai Susu, after cutting down six districts in a row, would surely take advantage of the Emotion Crossing Sect’s upper echelons being frazzled over the Divine Son’s disappearance to continue into the heart of Qi Kingdom and uproot more significant strongholds.

After all, no one would believe she would ignore such a golden opportunity, only to plunge headfirst into the Celestial Abyss, where Great Cultivators gathered.

As an elder said,

The outside world still doesn’t know that Bai Susu is in the Celestial Abyss.

This news is both good and bad for Chen Ye.

”With the Duqing Divine Son also missing in the Celestial Abyss, now it seems irrelevant whether the Emotion Crossing Sect knows Bai Susu’s whereabouts or not.”

Chen Ye sighed internally.

Because now, the Emotion Crossing Sect’s focus is concentrated on the Celestial Abyss.

Oh, Bai Susu, you’re truly audacious.

Is it possible that she intends to take this chance, as the Divine Son rarely ventures out and becomes trapped in the Celestial Abyss, losing the Golden Core True Man’s protection, to eliminate this threat?

”No, perhaps not for the purpose of elimination. Isn’t it said that... that Divine Son is actually the reincarnation of a significant figure from the ancient Songyang Sect?”

After reciting this, Chen Ye,
