After dressing up as cannon fodder, I beat everyone in the house until they cried.

Chapter 544 No One is Allowed to Call Me Master!
The man did not answer their questions, he just snorted.

"Since you are outsiders and cannot control the affairs of Yuanling Continent, I am not interested and there is no need to talk to you more."

"You just need to know that, apart from the few cities under the jurisdiction of the Yuanling Palace and those large sects, there are almost no mature spirit butterflies in the entire Yuanling Continent now."

"If you want to find Psylocke, just stay in the central area."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a loud bang was heard in the distance, and thick smoke rose up. From a distance, it could be seen that the battle there was fierce.

"not good!"

The man's expression changed and he disappeared on the spot with a tap of his toes.

Duan Yunzhou frowned and looked in that direction. "It looks like something big is happening over there. We should not act rashly. I will contact Master."

Then the jade slip in his hand disappeared.

Duan Yunzhou: "?"

Ling Miao casually stuffed Duan Yunzhou's jade slip into Shen Hualan's hand, then tiptoed towards the direction of the accident.

"Let's go! No one is allowed to call me Master!"

Master is simply Miaozi’s sealing artifact, no one can call him Master!
Shen Hualan had a confused look on her face, and she looked at Duan Yunzhou with her pupils dizzyingly, but she still obediently took the jade slip that Ling Miao had stuffed into her hand.

Duan Yunzhou: "..."

The three followed the man to the scene of the accident.

From a distance, the three saw a group of people gathered around a courtyard, and around the courtyard, there were actually a lot of spirit butterflies flying around. Judging from the number, there were more than the three had seen in the entire Liuli Valley.

The group of people surrounding the courtyard was led by a young boy wearing gorgeous clothes that looked like the uniform of a large sect.

He stood in the middle of the crowd with his hands on his hips, looking proud and complacent.

"Listen to me, everyone inside! You have violated the rules of Yuanling Mansion by hiding the spirit butterflies! Hand over all the spirit butterflies immediately, and we will consider not killing you!"

Behind the young man, another man was holding a spherical magic weapon in his hand. The spirit butterflies seemed to be attracted by the magic weapon and flew towards it one after another, and then were sucked into it.

There were also several people standing in the yard.

An old man standing in the courtyard looked very excited.

"You, Yuanling Mansion, are going too far! It's fine if you want to capture wild spirit butterflies in Liuli Valley, but you actually want to take away the spirit butterflies of ordinary people! You are draining the pond to catch all the fish!"

The young man snorted coldly, "Everything on this Yuanling Continent is under the jurisdiction of the Yuanling Palace. These spirit butterflies are also under the control of the Yuanling Palace. The Yuanling Palace decides who is qualified to absorb them."

"Now that the spiritual butterflies on the Yuanling Continent are exhausted, there are not enough spiritual butterflies for the elders and disciples who are going to fight on our behalf, and you are still hiding them here!"

"We in Yuanling Continent always come last in the Immortal Island Conference. It has everything to do with you guys who are selfish and only care about your own cultivation without caring about the overall honor!"

"Of course you can provide a large number of Psylockes to those geniuses!"

The old man's eyes widened in anger, "But you can't leave the lower-level cultivators without room for cultivation! Among the children I know, there are also many with extraordinary talents. If they are allowed to get enough nourishment from the spirit butterflies, they can also become useful in the future!" The young man raised his eyebrows and said, "Talent? Whether there is talent or not is up to you, an old man?"

There was even more pride in his voice.

"If there are truly gifted people, you can have them participate in the talent assessment set by the Yuanling Palace. If they pass the talent assessment and enter a large sect, they will also be eligible to enjoy this spirit butterfly."

"If you can't reach our level, don't make excuses for your weakness!"

"I'm very busy and I don't want to talk nonsense with you."

He looked at the people behind him, "Catch them, and then search this place to see if there are any other Psylockes they have hidden!"

Seeing this, Ling Miao looked strangely at the man who arrived before them.

The man had just taken out the jade slip and seemed to have sent a message to someone. Now he had put the jade slip away and was standing aside with a worried look on his face. There was anger in his eyes, but more of helplessness.

Ling Miao: "So, these are people from Yuanling Mansion?"

The man turned his gaze back to Ling Miao and said softly, "They may not be from Yuanling Mansion. They may be disciples from a large sect. They will send people to places like ours every now and then to search if anyone is hiding spirit butterflies."

A trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, "This group of people, under the banner of training elites, are actually forcing those small sects and independent cultivators into a dead end."

After a pause, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, there's no point in me telling you this. You guys should go and stop watching the fun here, or you might get hurt by mistake."

Shen Hualan was very puzzled. "How could this happen? Isn't it said that there are endless spiritual butterflies on the Yuanling Continent? How come it has come to the point where the Yuanling Mansion has to compete with independent cultivators for resources?"

The man shook his head. "I don't know either. I don't know since when, the number of spirit butterflies has been decreasing. I don't know where they have gone. Even the Yuanling Mansion and the major sects don't have enough. So those bastards in the Yuanling Mansion made such a rule!"

He clenched his fists and said, "All the spirit butterflies on the entire Yuanling Continent need to be deployed by the Yuanling Palace. They will decide who is qualified to absorb these spirit butterflies!"

"The Palace Master of the Yuanling Palace got a very powerful treasure from nowhere, which can store unlimited spiritual butterflies. So now almost all the spiritual butterflies in the entire continent are in his hands. He can give it to anyone he wants!"

Duan Yunzhou asked: "Then...what is the talent assessment that the disciple just mentioned?"

The man's already frowned brows became even tighter.

"Listen to his nonsense. Everyone in this Yuanling Continent knows that the talent test is prepared for the disciples of Yuanling Mansion and major sects!"

"Cultivators of the same age group grew up in different environments. With or without the nourishment of the Spiritual Butterfly, the degree of resonance they can achieve with the surrounding environment is naturally different!"

"But they use this method to classify monks into high and low ranks!"

Wangcai, who was hiding in Ling Miao's small cloth bag, didn't understand. He poked his head out and looked at Ling Miao strangely, "Ling Miao, I don't understand. Why did they say that it was selected in such an unfair way when they described the assessment as being so noble?"

Ling Miao didn't say anything.

The man was stunned for a moment. He looked at the little fox and sighed imperceptibly.

"Because this is how those people selected themselves, so this path must be noble."
