Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

Three hundred years ago, Haoran Peak completely declined, leaving only Fairy Biyou to guard the peak gate alone.

In order to make reasonable use of resources, the remaining 108 peak masters jointly proposed to the sect leader that Haoran Peak be taken over and planned for other peaks to be redeveloped and utilized.

Fairy Biyou faced 108 peak masters alone, refusing to yield an inch.

Ultimately, both sides agreed on a three-hundred-year agreement. If, after three hundred years, Fairy Biyou could bring Haoran Peak back to life, the takeover would be called off; but if not… Haoran Peak would have to be taken over after three hundred years.

Now, there are only five days left until the three-hundred-year agreement. What will the final outcome be?

Will Haoran Peak be taken over, or will something unexpected happen? Will Fairy Biyou take any measures?

What will become of Chang Wen and the other disciples of Haoran Peak? No one knows the answer. But this topic has become a recent source of conversation among the disciples of Haoran Immortal Sect.

What is Chang Wen doing, who is in the eye of the storm?

Naturally, he didn't forget his original intention and invested heavily. He didn't care about anything else; becoming stronger was the main thing.

The storage bag given to me by the gray-robed old man a few days ago contained a lot of useful items, including weapons and martial arts techniques, although they were all of relatively low level. Fortunately, it was more than enough for investment.

[You invest in Chen Changsheng with a seventh-grade spirit sword, and you'll receive ten seventh-grade spirit swords in return.]

[Note: Weapon grades range from Rank 9 to Rank 1, from lowest to highest. Cultivation techniques and elixirs follow the same grade system.]

Since Chen Changsheng was unable to cultivate, Chang Wen did not give him any cultivation techniques. Instead, he specially selected spirit stones and weapons for him.

Aside from the investment, Chang Wen also generously gifted Chen Changsheng the spirit stones that were returned and could not be used for nested investments.

When Chen Changsheng saw the 20,000 mid-grade spirit stones in the storage bag, he stood there stunned for a full half-incense stick's time before he came to his senses.

"Senior Brother, is it... really true?"

Chen Changsheng, who considered himself to be calm and composed, was now stammering. He had never seen so many spirit stones before, and he never even dared to imagine it.

The favorability rating increased by 18, reaching 100!

"Don't look at me like that. I still prefer your previous sleazy self."

Chang Wen smiled. People always say money is a powerful tool, and they're absolutely right!

"Okay, senior brother, I'll try my best to recover, hehe."

Chen Changsheng, who always ran away from dirty and tiring work, actually had a faint urge to make something of himself at Haoran Peak.

If we don't contribute something to Haoran Peak, this money is a bit too hot to handle!

However, he is only at the peak of Body Tempering, so what contribution can he make to Haoran Peak?

Then please be merciful and sweep the floor...

Just as he was thinking about these things, Chang Wen had already arrived at the door of Chu Xinghe's room.

[You invest one mid-grade spirit stone in Chu Xinghe, and you will receive ten mid-grade spirit stones in return.]

"The third one is really shady; he's never sold anything."

Chang Wen couldn't help but complain. Since Chu Xinghe came back, he's made at least a hundred or so investments, all of which were just for basic living expenses.

Never mind, next one.

"Wait for Senior Brother."

Just then, Chu Xinghe suddenly called out to him.

"What's wrong?"

Chang Wen turned around.

"Do you have any news about your master? I heard yesterday that the three-hundred-year agreement seems to be approaching."

Chu Xinghe's eyes showed worry.

The three-hundred-year agreement concerns the very survival of Haoran Peak. Only the peak master and other high-ranking members are qualified to resolve it. If Fairy Biyou does not return, Haoran Peak will face the danger of being taken over in five days, and they will also be implicated.

"Not at the moment."

Chang Wen looked at Chu Xinghe with a somewhat solemn expression, the image of Fairy Biyou appearing in his mind.

About twenty days ago, Fairy Biyou handed Su Xiaoman over to him and then left gracefully, leaving only her back view, as if she had no memory of the matter at all.

The problem is coming.

As the peak master of Haoran Peak, does she really not remember the three-hundred-year agreement?

surely not.

It concerned the very survival of Haoran Peak, so she must remember it clearly. Since she remembers it, why would she leave this mess for me? That's quite intriguing.

Is it to make him take the blame, or is it because they trust him too much and believe he can save Haoran Peak from the hands of the 108 peak masters?

Or perhaps he deliberately remained hidden, wanting to gauge his and his five junior brothers and sisters' loyalty to Haoran Peak, before stepping in at the last minute to resolve the matter—killing two birds with one stone.

All of the above speculations are possible.

Chang Wen believes that the last possibility is the most likely.

After all, Fairy Biyou knew their capabilities; leaving them with this mess would be tantamount to handing over Haoran Peak to someone else. Therefore, she certainly wouldn't sit idly by.

This is why Chang Wen wasn't worried at all. He just needed to do his own thing; Fairy Biyou would definitely show up when the time came.

After telling Chu Xinghe this guess, Chu Xinghe deeply agreed and was no longer worried.

Chu Xinghe held his master in the deepest reverence. How could someone who had managed to secure three hundred years of respite from the clutches of one hundred and eight peak masters be an ordinary person?

Chang Wen smiled and quickly left to continue feeding his three junior brothers and sisters.

Investing in Lin Yuan is the simplest thing to do; just buy him food. But there's a drawback: you can't invest one stone at a time. Each investment starts at five mid-grade spirit stones, wasting four opportunities in the process, which Chang Wen finds very distressing.

Then there's Shen Nianqing, who is still in a weakened state. Chang Wen didn't disturb her; after finishing the investment, he quickly left, giving Shen Nianqing enough space to be alone.

Finally, there's junior sister Su Xiaoman.

Having been here for almost twenty days, the little girl is much more cheerful than when she first arrived, and she has become quite familiar with the other junior brothers and sisters.

At least when Lin Yuan drooled over her, she was no longer as afraid as before.

"Senior Brother, what are we going to do today? Cultivate immortality?"

The little girl's world was simple, without many complexities or worries. All she had to do each day was stay by Chang Wen's side, hoping he would teach her how to cultivate immortality.

"I have something to do today, I have to go on a business trip."

Chang Wen patted her little head and smiled.

"A business trip? Xiaoman wants to go too!"

Su Xiaoman instantly felt full of energy. Her favorite thing was going on business trips with Chang Wen! Although cultivating immortality was important, it was far less important than going on business trips.

I wonder where my senior brother will go on his business trip this time? What are some good places to eat? What are some fun places to do there?

When it comes to business trips, the girl completely forgets about everything else, her mind only filled with eating, drinking, and having fun.

"it is good."

Chang Wen nodded in agreement. This business trip was a long journey, and having Su Xiaoman chattering away beside him would add a lot of fun.

He was going to Tian Shu Peak to find the sect leader.

The three-hundred-year agreement concerns the very survival of Haoran Peak; it is no small matter. He must make thorough preparations.

If unforeseen circumstances arise, there will be ways to deal with them, so as not to be caught off guard.

Tian Shu Peak. Located in the far north of the Hao Ran Immortal Sect, it is 108,000 li away from Hao Ran Peak.

Fortunately, there were teleportation arrays between the peaks, and in less than half an hour, Chang Wen and Su Xiaoman arrived at Tian Shu Peak.

"Uncle-Master Lin, Chang Wen, a disciple of Haoran Peak, requests an audience."

Upon arriving at Tian Shu Peak, Chang Wen and Su Xiaoman stood still and immediately called out to the sect leader.

With Lin Baoding's extraordinary cultivation, the entire Tian Shu Peak was within his divine sense range, and he could convey his message with just a word.

Before long, a figure appeared in front of the two.
