Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

He turned his head and looked at Ye, saying, "It's a pity I couldn't capture the Shenxiao Warship to avenge my fellow brothers."

Ye's heart trembled slightly upon hearing this, and she sincerely said, "Senior Brother's divine power is such that even these Shenxiao Warships couldn't harm you..."

"These are merely outer elixirs, ordinary Golden Core Cultivators might..."

Before he finished speaking, Ye felt a deep-rooted pride emanating from this Fourth Senior Brother.

...

Watching the Shenxiao Warship flee from the workshop, the cultivators within looked at Zheng Fa and Ye with anxious and alarmed eyes.

Ye faced these flattering gazes, feeling somewhat intoxicated and fascinated.

Yet, Fourth Senior Brother's expression remained indifferent, as if he was not proud of his achievements at all.

Ye couldn't help but feel a pause in her expression, while internally considering her Senior Brother unfathomable.

Zheng Fa glanced at the warehouse filled with Spiritual Energy Pills and said:

"Help me take them to the Communication Cave and exchange them."

How could Ye refuse, she promptly answered, "Yes!"

...

Ye, carrying the acquired supplies, strode into the Communication Cave.

The Golden Core Deacon Disciple in the Communication Cave had been replaced—the previous one was killed by the Shenxiao Warship of Jiushan Sect.

This person belonged to the Divinity Transformation Elders' faction and was never amicable towards Ye and the original Chongxuan Golden Cores. Seeing her expression, he coldly said, "The sect lost over ten fellow brothers, yet you seem happy."

Ye knew he feigned sorrow for the death of fellow disciples, while truly making it difficult for her.

But his words were truly heart-piercing.

The gaze of other disciples in the cave bore traces of anger.

"Happy?" Ye slapped her hand on the stone table in front of the Deacon Disciple, loudly saying, "While you cry all day, can you bring even a hint of threat to Jiushan Sect?"

The Deacon Disciple startled, then coldly smirked, "Can you, Senior Sister?"

"I may not be capable, but my Fourth Senior Brother, Li Hao, can!"

After she spoke, with a wave of her hand, a mountain-like pile of storage bags was stacked before everyone.

"This..."

"These were taken by my Senior Brother Li from Jiushan Sect, Magic Artifacts, Pills..."

The cave fell into silence.

Everyone stared at the chaotic pile of storage bags.

Unbelieving, the Deacon Disciple inspected the storage bags one by one.

An incense stick's time later, Magic Artifacts, Pills, and Spirit Talismans piled from the floor to the cave's ceiling, filling half of the Communication Cave.

"These are indeed things from Jiushan Sect!"

After Haori Mountain's bounty, most Chongxuan Sect disciples studied Jiushan Sect's Magic Artifacts. Though imitations couldn't be made, recognition wasn't difficult.

Now, it was easy to see that Ye's words were not false.

"Li Hao? How come I've never heard of this Senior Brother?"

Ye cast a glance at the crowd and, eloquently, vividly described the scene of Senior Brother Li's battle against the Shenxiao Warship.

The crowd listened in disbelief.

Yet, observing the room full of Magic Artifacts and Pills, they understood that it was hard to fake.

They couldn't help but whisper and begin discussing Li Hao, who was previously less known.

After Ye finished speaking, she urged the Deacon Disciple, "Help me exchange these items for the bounty! I must send them to Senior Brother Li Hao!"

The Deacon Disciple had been in a daze but now came to his senses, hurriedly moving various spiritual materials from the cave's store, packing them in storage bags, and handing them to Ye.

Ye calculated and noticed something was amiss:

Too many spiritual materials were given!

She knew the rules of visiting the Communication Cave during this period... These disciples of Divinity Transformation Elders, wasn't each one withholding a few points?

Yet today this one was impeccably clean, hands untouched by oil!

Seemingly understanding her doubt, the Deacon Disciple quietly said:

"Give my regards to Senior Brother Li Hao."

Ye, upon hearing this, left the Communication Cave holding the storage bags, walking tall and proud.

Behind her, the discussions rose a few notches.

The name Li Hao, like Earth Fire on Fire God Mountain, was rising within Chongxuan Sect.

...

Days later, a brilliance arced across the sky and landed on a mountain peak.

As the Rainbow Mountain scattered, Zheng Fa and Zhang were revealed.

Standing on the mountain peak were Master Pang and Elder Han, faces ashamed.

"Sect Leader!"

Zheng Fa's tone was a bit cold.

"How is it?"

"Eight Foundation Establishment disciples died."

Master Pang spoke in a low voice, anger hidden within.

Elder Han candidly admitted, "It was my oversight, allowing Green Water Poison Immortal into the Hundred Immortals Alliance."

Zheng Fa lightly exhaled, "It's not Elder Han's fault, we didn't consider comprehensively enough."

Green Water Poison Immortal was originally a Nascent Soul cultivator from Haori Mountain Territory, adept at the art of concealment and Poison Technique.

Unexpectedly, he also came because of Haori Mountain's bounty.

The issue was, this person was rather cunning.

He didn't target Han Qi and other heavily guarded individuals.

Instead, he targeted Master Pang's investigation team.

Master Pang had to conduct a survey, naturally not gathering everyone together—the efficiency was too low.

Hence, disciples often split into small teams, collecting data dispersedly.

Green Water Poison Immortal was cautious, choosing one small team to attack.

With his Nascent Soul cultivation and some special cultivation methods, by the time Master Pang noticed, it was too late.

Even the disciples' intact corpses weren't seen.

After finishing Master Pang's account, Zheng Fa's gaze deepened, and he said:

"I've already inquired thoroughly, and most Nascent Souls coming from Haori Mountain's direction exchange for bounty at Chongxuan Sect."

That is Ye's greatest usefulness—

Elder Han's intelligence network was newly established, far less reliable than Ye's insider information.

"Green Water Poison Immortal was no exception,"

Master Pang, upon hearing this, gritted his teeth and said, "I will go..."

"I will go."

...

Below Fire God Peak, a green-robed cultivator walked out from Chongxuan Sect's Mountain Protection Array, holding a brand-new storage bag.
