Immortal Path Space

In the Blue Dragon Hall, aside from the head elder, there were several deputy hall masters, with Wang Hong being perhaps the weakest among them.

While the title of deputy hall master might sound somewhat honorary, it carried significant prestige both within and outside the sect, making it easier to handle various matters.

Especially outside the sect, his subordinates could act in the name of the Blue Dragon Hall of the Qingxu Sect, which was quite intimidating to outsiders.

Currently, apart from the Demon Clan, who would dare to openly oppose the Qingxu Sect?

After Wang Hong was appointed as the deputy hall master, several hall masters warmly chatted with him. From time to time, they offered guidance on his cultivation, greatly benefiting Wang Hong.

"Nephew Wang, you're young and promising. If only my less capable juniors were half as successful as you, I'd have a worry-free life. How about I send a junior to follow you, let him gain some experience and learn from you?" Black Tortoise Hall Master suggested.

"Uncle, you're too kind, but I'm just a junior with limited knowledge. I'm not worth Senior Brother's time," Wang Hong instinctively resisted outsiders. His subordinates were all trained by him and loyal only to him.

Previously, it was easier to accept someone like Gu Wei since they had spent a long time together, and Wang Hong knew Gu Wei was straightforward and wouldn't disrupt his team.

Now, adding an unfamiliar person made him a bit uncomfortable.

"Nephew Wang, do me this favor, let him assist you. Nephew, please don't refuse," Black Tortoise Hall Master said earnestly, and since it was hard to refuse a Golden Core Elder, Wang Hong reluctantly agreed.

Although he wasn't entirely comfortable with an outsider joining his team, his visible power had no hidden secrets. In the early days, when his strength was limited and he needed to grow quickly, he had no choice but to reveal some secrets to his subordinates. Now that he had grown powerful, he had concealed those secrets. The resources they used were either plundered spoils or provided by the Immortal Way Trading Company. Adding one or two more people wouldn't affect his team.

After Wang Hong agreed to Black Tortoise Hall Master's request, Blue Dragon Hall Master and White Tiger Hall Master also made similar requests, wanting to send one or two juniors to learn from Wang Hong.

Wang Hong readily agreed to all of them. If one was accepted, why not accept two or three?

Only Vermilion Bird Hall Master didn't make a similar request, and Wang Hong glanced at him suspiciously.

Then, he received a Message Transmission from Vermilion Bird Hall Master: "Kid, be cautious! Don't get sold out by others and end up helping them count Spirit Stones."

After hearing this Message Transmission, Wang Hong discreetly sent a grateful look to Vermilion Bird Hall Master and casually shifted his gaze away.

The group encouraged Wang Hong, and he took the opportunity to ask the hall masters, "I have another matter to seek advice from the esteemed senior martial uncles. My Master once bestowed upon me a medium-sized Spirit Vein, but it's too far from the sect to guard. I want to relocate it closer to our current base. Do you have any guidance on this?"

The people present were all formidable Golden Core cultivators, so Wang Hong's inquiry was well-placed.

"So, Gu Qingyang from Heishi Valley gave you that medium-sized Spirit Vein? He's quite generous. It seems your Master treats you well," Blue Dragon Hall Master remarked. In the Qingxu Sect, with only a few dozen Golden Core cultivators, everyone knew each other well. It was difficult to keep secrets about who possessed valuable items.

Gu Qingyang had once traded this Spirit Vein by spending a bottle of a Tier 3 Pill, and everyone knew about it.

"The best expert in manipulating Spirit Veins within the sect is Chu Elder, but whether you can get him to help depends on your luck," Blue Dragon Hall Master informed Wang Hong, along with Chu Elder's cave mansion address.

After bidding farewell to the four hall masters, Wang Hong made his way to the address provided by Blue Dragon Hall Master.

When he arrived at the specified location, what he saw surprised him.

Although there was a Spirit Spring here, it was nearly dried up. The surrounding spirit fields were overgrown with weeds, and amidst the weeds, he occasionally spotted a few slender Spiritual Herbs.

If it weren't for the dense Spirit Qi in the area, he would have doubted whether he had gone to the wrong place.

Wang Hong didn't dare to venture recklessly into the area. He stood in front of one of the spirit fields, activated a Transmission Talisman, and waited patiently.

After about fifteen minutes, the scene before him suddenly became blurry. The overgrown spirit fields and the almost dried-up Spirit Spring disappeared from his sight.

In front of him was a vast, featureless white expanse, with nothing visible except for a narrow path in the center.

Wang Hong was relieved that he hadn't ventured in without caution. He followed the path through the white expanse.

Once he walked through the path, he encountered a completely different scene.

Inside the spirit fields, everything was lush, and small silver fish swam and played in the Spirit Spring, exactly like the silver fish he had once brought out from a secret realm.

The Spiritual Objects planted in the spirit fields weren't conventional. As a food enthusiast, Wang Hong recognized all of them. These Spiritual Objects were all top-grade ingredients, some of which he also had planted in his own Space.

He couldn't help but marvel at Chu Elder's dedication to food.

Wang Hong continued down the main path through the spirit fields, and what he saw on both sides were more and more ingredients.

At the end of the road stood a bamboo hut. A wisp of white smoke wafted from it, carrying a faint fragrance.

"Young disciple Wang Hong pays respects to Chu Elder," Wang Hong bowed outside the bamboo hut.

"Kid Wang, come on in!" came a voice from inside that Wang Hong recognized well. From the moment he saw the acres of ingredients, he had a guess, and it turned out to be correct.

With a creaking sound, Wang Hong pushed open the bamboo door and saw an old Daoist with a sloppy appearance. He was squatting in front of a large black cauldron, occasionally adding things to it.

The soup in the large black cauldron was milky white and simmering slowly, emitting a white mist. The delightful fragrance Wang Hong had smelled earlier came from it.

"Young Wang, you've come at the right time. Use some Spirit Wine to marinate this chicken," the Sloppy Old Daoist didn't even turn around but tossed a plump chicken the size of a grinding plate to Wang Hong.

Wang Hong took the chicken, retrieved a bottle of Spirit Wine from his Storage Bag, drizzled it over the chicken, and gently massaged it.

"All right, put it in now!" Only when Wang Hong had finished massaging did the Sloppy Old Daoist speak.

Seeing Wang Hong place the chicken into the big cauldron, the Sloppy Old Daoist finally had time to pay attention to him and asked, "What did you come to me for? Did you happen to acquire some top-notch ingredients and want to present them to me as a tribute?"

"Recently, I obtained a Tier 3 Lionhead Spirit Mushroom from a group of Treasure Hunters. I wanted to offer it to you, Senior," Wang Hong quickly presented a Lionhead Spirit Mushroom, which was similar in size to the chicken he had just marinated.
