Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

It's not that Master Zheng doesn't love the Jiushan Sect, it's really because Haori Mountain offers too much!

Zheng Fa roughly calculated, if measuring by cost, taking some magic artifacts and pills from the Jiushan Sect and handing them to Haori Mountain, the profit is nearly three hundred percent.

Moreover, because Haori Mountain controls many areas in the Hundred Immortals Alliance that lack spiritual material.

For the Jiushan Sect, it's not just a matter of profit...

This Haori Mountain, though ruthless, does things in a human manner!

"Isn't this reward a bit too high?"

Upon hearing Zheng Fa's doubt, Ninth Elder smiled:

"Zheng Fa of the Jiushan Sect possesses formidable strength. Without a substantial reward, who would be willing to risk their life?"

"Moreover, while we might think it's a lot, to Haori Mountain it's probably not much at all."

At this point, she sighed lightly: "It's just that Haori Mountain's enmity against the Jiushan Sect is so firm that our Chongxuan Sect may have no way back."

This makes sense...

Haori Mountain now uses all means at their disposal except Dao Fruit.

The reason is clear to him.

Firstly, they really covet Fusang Wood.

Secondly, essentially, the Five Sects are unwilling to have another competitor.

Therefore, even if Haori Mountain openly opposes the Jiushan Sect, as long as they don't violate that extremely rough agreement, the other Four Sects would likely welcome it.

The principle of the Xuanwei Realm has always been based on cultivation.

Zheng Fa internally considered a strategy, thinking again of the matter with the Immortal Trapping Sword, and couldn't help but ask, "Master, what does Shi Shangren say..."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Ninth Elder suddenly looked deeply at Zheng Fa, her gaze as cold as electricity, as if trying to see through him.

Zheng Fa was not afraid, only puzzled:

"Master?"

"Shi Shangren... didn't agree."

This is not good.

Business routes are minor issues; the Immortal Trapping Sword is the major problem.

"Why?"

"That sword on the mountaintop is of great importance." Ninth Elder was silent for a moment, "Last time, when you practiced the Feiyun Sword, it triggered a disturbance in the Immortal Sword, almost causing a major incident."

"Although the reasons are unclear, Shi Shangren is unwilling to risk another accident."

"To make an exception for you, that's naturally impossible."

Zheng Fa felt troubled upon hearing this.

He did not expect Shi Nandang to be so cautious... but thinking about it, the Immortal Trapping Sword, if mishandled, is something that even Shi Nandang, a True Inheritor of Divinity Transformation, might not be able to withstand.

On the other hand, controlling such a Supreme Treasure with seven Divinity Transformation Elders...

Anyone would be cautious.

Plus, he is just a Golden Core.

Why take this risk?

Ninth Elder looked at Zheng Fa's furrowed brow and suddenly smiled, saying:

"Shi Shangren has decided; I can't change that. You should cultivate well and wait for an opportunity, and I'll advocate for you when the time is right."

Zheng Fa cupped his hands and walked out of Ninth Elder's cave.

Ninth Elder watched his back with a somewhat profound gaze; this disciple...

She recalled the words Eighth Elder spoke in her presence:

"Li Hao's practice of the Feiyun Sword is definitely unusual! This disciple was mediocre, yet now progresses rapidly. Isn't that suspicious? The master now might be having doubts!"

"Bixia, you'd better think carefully about how not to be implicated by your good disciple!"

Thinking this made her frown.

This disciple's Divine Soul Spiritual Power is completely normal.

His temperament, however, is slightly different.

But this talent...

...

This master suspects me.

Zheng Fa's Divine Sense is slightly superior to Ninth Elder's, and as he left, he saw her gaze clearly.

Right now, there's no confrontation; probably because she's uncertain and his displayed talent caused her hesitation.

He's not afraid of the Chongxuan Sect, but the Immortal Trapping Sword is still atop Divine Fire Mountain...

Thinking of solutions, Zheng Fa headed towards his own cave.

"Fourth senior brother!"

A sweet voice called from the right, causing Zheng Fa to turn, seeing his "little junior sister" standing three yards away, smiling at him.

Her expression was very familiar.

"Ye junior sister?"

"Fourth senior brother, have you seen Haori Mountain's reward?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa somewhat understood the junior sister's intentions.

"Ye junior sister, are you interested?"

Ye junior sister glanced around and looked towards Zheng Fa's cave entrance.

"My apologies, senior brother. Please, junior sister, come in for a chat."

Zheng Fa understood and led the junior sister surnamed Ye into the cave, then inquired about her thoughts.

"Fourth senior brother, you can see that there's hardly any place for us on this mountain nowadays." Ye junior sister said, "Those disciples of the Divinity Transformation Elders are becoming increasingly bullying."

Zheng Fa nodded in agreement; these days, he was in charge of procurement and seemed to have a lot of benefits, but the earnings weren't much...

Because the appetite of the Golden Core Disciples in the Communication Cave increased each time.

Now it's just hard-earned money.

He didn't mind, valuing the freedom of procurement work.

But for other Chongxuan Sect disciples, life was becoming difficult.

Ye junior sister saw him nod and seemed encouraged, gritting her teeth and saying:

"We are the true Chongxuan disciples, yet we can only watch them act so recklessly."

"Let alone, who knows what our Chongxuan Sect will be like in the future? Without improving cultivation, the future is just death."

Seeing the hint of fear on her face, Zheng Fa knew the Chongxuan disciples were aware of the dangerous situation—if they don't make an effort today, they might not survive someday.

"So you want to raid the Jiushan Sect to seize more resources?"

Ye junior sister nodded to him and said:

"It's not just us; even disciples of Divinity Transformation Elders are tempted to go down the mountain."

"Moreover, many Loose Cultivators and Nascent Soul Cultivators have come near our Chongxuan Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa frowned slightly: "Even Nascent Soul Cultivators want to dive into these muddy waters?"
