"But I can't tell you what the solution is, nor can I tell the elders in the sect," Jiang Ke'er looked straight into Xuan Yang's eyes seriously, "You just need to do what I say and help me do something, and you can help Taiming Sect overcome this difficulty!"
Xuan Yang had a strange expression on his face, obviously very confused.
Jiang Ke'er didn't reveal anything, which made it hard for people to believe her. No matter how you looked at her, she seemed unreliable.
But Xuan Yang did not blame Jiang Ke'er. Instead, he calmed down and said earnestly, "Junior Sister, we know that you are gifted and everything you do is always smooth sailing... But this time is different. You are only at the Four Symbols Realm, and we are only at the Five Elements Realm. In this vast world of cultivation, we are just weak ordinary people. Many things are not something we can interfere with. We must do what we can!"
This senior brother is a good person.
Jiang Ke'er smiled slightly: "I understand your concerns, but I can't explain it... I just hope you can trust me once! Just this once!"
Xuan Yang was in a dilemma.
"Give me seven days! After seven days, I will let you know the whole story... If we fail after seven days, I will go back to the mountain with you and even sever my own meridians to apologize!"
“No, no, no! It’s better not to sever your own meridians. If you do, all the cultivators in the sect will go berserk and kill a few of us!”
Fatty Xiao Ming shouted quickly, then his expression became serious: "I don't know whether others believe you or not, but I am willing to believe you once! Because you saved my life twice! So even though I also think we can't do anything, I am willing to stay and go crazy with you... because I owe you this!"
Xiao Ri: "Xiao Ming has already said what I want to say, same as above."
"I believe it." Xianyue smiled faintly. She was the only one who showed no sign of dejection. There was a gleam of expectation in her eyes.
"Seven days," Xuan Yang lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "Forget it, seven days is still within an acceptable range, so I'll stay and go crazy with you for once... When Master blames me, I'll take the responsibility!"

35. Situation
There was a lot of noise among the Taiming Sect members, and the situation within the sect was not much better.
The Grand Elder of Taiming Sect is named Gong Zimo. At this moment, he is sitting in the position of acting leader, listening to the news coming from various peaks and feeling anxious.
He didn't expect that the Mad Dragon Hall's methods were so cruel that they had actually bribed some Taiming Sect disciples to spread rumors to disrupt the army's morale at this critical moment!
Before the Taiming Sect even had a chance to make ends meet, people in each peak were already in a state of panic. Some disciples even began to think about how to escape down the mountain and which sects would be suitable as their next home after leaving the Taiming Sect.
Unfortunately, the leader was out and could not be contacted, and he could not come up with any effective solution.
However, even in this situation, he still received even worse news—
"What? Not coming back? Not coming back until seven days?!"
After receiving the news from Jiang Keer and others, Gong Zimo almost went berserk on the spot!
Seven days, how can Taiming Sect last more than seven days!
If you elite disciples can come back to stabilize the morale of the troops, then maybe we can hold out for seven days, but if you don’t come back…
Gong Zimo shuddered.
Could it be that even these elite disciples had the idea of betraying the sect? Gong Zimo suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
"Come back! You must come back immediately! Otherwise you will be treated as treason!" Gong Zimo sent the message in a tough tone, even with a hint of murderous intent.
At the same time, he also called the masters of Lingyin Valley, Qingjin Peak, and Xingluo Peak, and asked them to urge Jiang Ke'er and the others to come back in the same stern tone.
Master Yiqin was filled with worry and sent a message to Jiang Keer.
[What the hell are you guys doing? Come back quickly! The Great Elder is mad at you! ]
But the news Yiqin received did not change much.
【Seven days, Master, please believe me.】
I don't believe you! We don't know what will happen in the sect in seven days!
[Come back! Now! Immediately!] Master Yiqin sent the message angrily.
Unfortunately, Jiang Keer never replied after that.
*************
Jiang Ke'er did not assign any tasks to Xuan Yang and the others for the time being, but took them to the consignment area of the auction house.
During the trip, Jiang Ke'er happened to pass by Taiming Sect's clinic and shops. She saw that the scene was just as Xuan Yang had described. Countless troublemakers blocked the entrance of the clinic and shops, shouting and cursing loudly.
They also held a banner in their hands, which read: [Totally unscrupulous! Taiming Sect Medical Clinic is trying to steal money and kill people! ]
[Fake medicine to make up the numbers! The shrew of Lingyin Valley has a vicious heart! 】
Hmm...it kind of rhymes.
When opening a clinic, conflicts between doctors and patients are inevitable. Taiming Sect Clinic has experienced such situations before, and they are usually resolved quickly, but this time is different.
Medical disturbances are nothing more than an attempt to extort money, but for these people, even if the clinic wants to pay them to settle the matter, the other party is unwilling to leave.
The young lady in the clinic looked aggrieved, but she was still trying to explain herself and negotiate with the other party, hoping to ease the situation.
But the other party was determined to stop Taiming Sect's clinic and shops from operating normally, even if both sides suffered losses!
"These beasts from the Hemostatic Pill Sect!" Xuan Yang gritted his teeth.
"It's not just the Zhixue Dan Sect," Jiang Ke'er sneered, "it's a Dan Sect Alliance composed of dozens of super-large sects. Almost all the top Dan cultivation sects in Dongsheng Shenzhou are involved."
Xuan Yang was puzzled: "Where does the Crazy Dragon Palace get such a big face?"
"It's not that the Mad Dragon Hall has face, the Mad Dragon Hall is just one of them now."
At this time, Jiang Keer and others just walked to the Danzong Alliance flagship store.
I didn't notice it before, but it turns out it is located not far from Taiming Zong Dan Pharmacy. The bustling and lively appearance of the store forms a sharp contrast with Taiming Zong Dan Pharmacy.
Although today is not the first day of opening, the store is still packed with customers. Customers have to queue up to enter the store, which makes Xuan Yang and others envious and jealous.
"Taiming Sect has the largest medical training institution in all of Shenzhou - Lingyin Valley. If Taiming Sect collapses, Lingyin Valley will also collapse. Who will be the happiest then?" Jiang Keer raised her eyebrows.
"..."
Needless to say, it is naturally these alchemy sects.
Apart from their peers, Lingyin Valley is the biggest obstacle for the alchemy sect to make money.
They dreamed of seeing the era when medical practitioners declined. By then, in this world of endless fighting, the cultivators would only be able to survive by relying on their elixirs...
If you control the life and death of the monks, you will have a constant source of money.
The incident happened suddenly and Xuan Yang didn't have much time to think. But after being enlightened by Jiang Ke'er, he instantly understood the cause and effect.
"This is not just a minor sect dispute, nor is it an accidental conflict. This is a war that will break out sooner or later." Jiang Ke'er said, "Blocking the path to wealth is like killing one's parents. Even if Taiming Sect doesn't mind, some people will mind... Especially if the power of cheap medical practitioners grows, it will be a disaster for many sects that rely on the monopoly of life-saving elixirs for their livelihood."
"So... what can we do?" Xuan Yang couldn't help but feel a little dejected. He deeply felt how insignificant his power was in this war that swept across the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou.
"Don't worry, come with me."
As they walked and talked, they had already reached the consignment area of the auction house.
The number of customers here was no less than that in the market area outside. Jiang Keer led everyone through the long and crowded streets and soon found her lucky bag stall.
A thousand lucky bags were piled up into a small hill, and the number didn't seem to have changed at all since Jiang Ke'er left.
It shouldn't be...
Jiang Ke'er was very puzzled. Logically speaking, as long as the salesperson gave out ten bags for free as per her instructions, they would quickly become repeat customers once they opened the bags.
Seeing that nearly two hours had passed, and in another two hours, his consignment time would be up and he would be forced to close the stall.
Jiang Ke'er was not in a panic. She took everyone to sit down in the second-floor tavern opposite the stall and continued to keep an eye on the stall through the window on the second floor of the tavern.
"What are we doing..." Everyone was puzzled.
"Keep an eye on that stall and don't be impatient." Jiang Ke'er said.
Soon, Jiang Keer saw through the clues.
The sales agent seemed to think that the goods could not be sold anyway, and his attitude was extremely lazy. He neither shouted nor moved.
Seeing that there was only half an hour left, he lazily climbed up from the recliner and shouted, "Garbage bag... oh no, what's it called..."
He walked to the front of the stall and glanced at the promotional sign with the name of the goods. Then he remembered what the bags were called and uttered a weak voice in his throat: "The first batch of super-value elixir bags are free! The first ten are free, first come first served!"
At least he still had some conscience and did not put the ten free gifts into his own pocket.
However, even if it is free, not many people are interested in this eye-catching-looking Qiankun bag.
Only a homeless man walked over slowly.
(1/2)
36. Crazy Bag (1)
"free?"
The homeless man asked the salesperson cautiously, fearing that he would fall into the trap of the unscrupulous businessman again.
"Yes, it's free." The salesperson said, impatiently throwing a bag to the homeless man, "Here you go."
Only homeless people would be interested in this bag. Others would not even bother to take it even if it was given to them for free.
The homeless man happily took the Qiankun bag without any dissatisfaction.
He took this bag and planned to use it to hold garbage.
As a scavenger in the alleys of Jingcheng, he made a living by picking up abandoned bottles and jars every day. Sometimes there would be some medicine residue left in the discarded medicine bottles or bags, which was a windfall for him.
So over a long period of time, he has developed the habit of opening every bag he encounters.
After taking the bag, he subconsciously turned the bag upside down and rubbed it against his dirty clothes. After that, he slapped his forehead and thought to himself that he was really stupid... This is not a bag he picked up, what can be in a bag that is given for free?
Just as I was thinking this, with a click, a slightly heavy small wooden box slid from the edge of the hem and fell to the ground.
"Eh?" After picking up the box, the homeless man was stunned. He looked at the consignment clerk and asked in fear, "Is this something you lost?"
The clerk was surprised to find something else in the bag, but he still said truthfully: "No, this is part of the product. It belongs to you now."
"Oh! Oh! Thank you!" The homeless man breathed a sigh of relief, thanked timidly, then stretched out his dirty, greasy black hands, pinched both sides of the box and gently opened it.
call--
Suddenly, a light breeze blew out of the box, ruffling the clothes of passers-by!
What was even more strange was that the wind was filled with a rich fragrance that was so refreshing that even just smelling it could make wounds itch and heal!
Customers all over the street couldn't help but stretch their noses, following the direction of the fragrance and wind, looking towards the source of it all - the box in the homeless man's hand, and the rosy and crystal pill in the box.
"A...A-grade hemostatic pill!"
The first person to shout out was the salesperson. He was knowledgeable and had come into close contact with Grade A hemostatic pills more than once, so he saw through the identity of this pill at a glance.
At the same time, a monk wearing the clothes of the Hemostatic Pill Sect rushed out, snatched the box from the homeless man's hand, held it respectfully in front of his eyes, and examined it carefully.
After a moment, he said in shock: "The lotus pill pattern, the surging medicinal power contained in it can even cause the surrounding spiritual power to stir, and the fragrance spreads ten miles! This is indeed a Grade A hemostatic pill... Not only is it Grade A, it is also a 'Immortal Grade A Perfect Hemostatic Pill' that only the ancestor can refine!"
The homeless man was stunned, somewhat at a loss, his body shaking like a sieve. But seeing that the monk of the Hemostasis Sect had no intention of returning the pill to him, he couldn't help but anxiously cried, "That's mine! Give it back to me!"
"How can a poor homeless person like you have the chance to get access to this kind of medicine?!" The monk of the Hemostasis Sect grabbed the homeless man's neck and shouted angrily, "Tell me! Where did you steal this medicine from?"
"He...gave it to me..."
The homeless man pointed at the lucky bag stall next to him and squeezed out these few words from between his teeth with difficulty.
The customers on the street then noticed that the homeless man was holding an ugly Qiankun bag in his hand. The painting style of the Qiankun bag was exactly the same as the remaining Qiankun bags on the stall - all of them were abstract.
"I can prove this," the consignor raised his hand, not caring about the murderous look from the Hemostasis Sect monk. "I gave him this bag because the consignor asked me to give out ten bags for free. But I didn't know there was such a good thing hidden in the bag... otherwise I would have hidden it myself."
The consignment clerk is affiliated with the Jiugong Chamber of Commerce, so he is not afraid of the Hemostasis Sect.
Everyone immediately focused their attention on the bags of crooked melons and dates on the stall.
[The first batch of super-valuable elixir lucky bags - priced at 1 magic crystal - the first ten are free] This is what the sign in front of the stall reads.
"A broken bag worth 1 magic crystal can produce a Grade A hemostatic pill?" The cultivator of the Hemostatic Sect was so angry that he almost laughed. "You two are probably working together to trick us into buying this broken bag, right? This broken bag is not even worth 1 spirit stone!"
The people around him agreed with what he said and showed suspicion and disgust towards the salesperson.
The salesperson shrugged. "To be honest, I would think the same if I were in your shoes... So here comes the question, are you going to buy it or not? If not, give it up. There are still nine free spots left. Anyone can get one except you. Is there anyone who wants it?"
When they heard that they could get nine for free, the crowd full of suspicion immediately moved and gathered in front of the stall.
"Why can't I receive it?" The monk from the Hemostasis Sect was angry. "Be careful or I will complain to you!"
"I just can't stand those bastards who bully homeless people! If you are not satisfied, just complain!" The salesperson said bluntly, "Send out the bags! Point to the one you want, and line up! Each person can only get one, first come first served, and no cutting in line!"
