74 Sect Master is Acting Cute?!
The hall turned silent as all of them looked at Long Ming. Long Ming stood with a calm gaze as he looked at their faces.
" What? Is there any rule that we can't reject them?"
" It's not that.."
" Wait, He does have a point though?"
" But what about our reputation?"
Long Ming snorted when he heard that.
' Reputation? What are you going to do with it? Can you eat it?'
However, those thoughts are buried in his heart. Xia Yuqing chuckled as she shook her head.
" Well, What you said isn't wrong. But I think it will be good to spar with them."
" Fine, you can spar with them. Just don't bet, that's all."
Xia Yuqing chuckled as she waved her hands. " Everyone, the meeting is over. You all can go back. Long Ming, follow me to my abode."
" Yes, Master."
Long Ming nodded as he followed Xia Yuqing to her abode.
" So, How about we go into a little detail? I need to hear everything." Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming and spoke. " Also, What's the deal with An Luan?"
" Well, I used An Luan to trick Lan Xiao into believing that there is an Azure Mirthil mine on Coral Island. Then, when he sent his troop there, I informed his rivals and trapped them, killing both of them in one go."
Long Ming already has extensive knowledge of herbs and medicines thanks to the Grand Archive of Herbs and Medicines he got from Courting Death System.
He created a hallucination and sedative powder with them and added a bit of Drunken Immortal Grass, maximizing its effect. After that, he asked the miners to hide them inside the cave.
When the explosive talismans exploded the herbal bags also exploded. That made all of the lower rank cultivators unable to escape at all.
When Xia Yuqing heard Long Ming, she couldn't help but get shocked inwardly.
" As for An Luan, She helped me to gather intel from Lan Family. In exchange, I promised her freedom and a place in Four Seasons Valley. I hope you won't mind it."
" Well, I understand." Xia Yuqing nodded. " But, How did you manage to persuade her?"
" Uh, About that…" Long Ming scratched his head as he coughed lightly. " Does that matter?"
Looking at Long Ming's reaction, Xia Yuqing snorted as she understood what happened. " I see, I guess you are using your appearance to the maximum, no?"
" Appearance? Master, I think it's my personality that attracted her." Long Ming corrected her.
" But, Anyway, Not only you gave a tremendous advantage to our sect, you even saved Ming Yuexin. Tell me, what do you wish from the treasury?"
Long Ming's face turned odd as he blurted out. " Is there even anything in our treasury?"
"...."
The wind blew as everything turned silent for a while. Xia Yuqing's expression was calm, but Long Ming got scared when he saw her clenching her fist.
But then, she took a breath of cool air as she looked at the side. " Yes, What you said isn't wrong. Looking at your performance, I don't know what I can give to you."
" Well, I can." Long Ming rubbed his palm. " Do you know about the legend of our hidden treasury in Black Pearl City?"
" I know." Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming. " I personally went there many times to search for the treasures. Unfortunately, I never found it."
" Well, What if I said I found it?" Long Ming grinned.
" What?!"
Xia Yuqing stood up and looked at Long Ming. " You… Did what?"
Suddenly, Long Ming snapped his fingers as high grade spirit stones and True class Noble grade weapons rained from his blue bracelet. Xia Yuqing was dumbfounded when she saw the scene.
Using her divine sense, she felt it was around twenty million High grade spirit stones along with many Noble grade weapons. Just the amount of spirit stones is ten times higher than their treasury.
But looking at Long Ming's expression Xia Yuqing was startled. " There is more?"
" Well…"
Long Ming laughed as he released the Royal grade weapons. When they appeared, the room filled with their sharp auras. However, Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming.
" Then, I guess you also got them, didn't you?"
" Got what?"
" Imperial Weapons."
" Did I?" Long Ming chuckled. " Hmm, Who knows?"
" Long Ming, I hope you understand how important the Imperial Weapons are for the sect." Xia Yuqing spoke in a serious voice. Long Ming chortled when he heard Xia Yuqing.
" I mean… If someone asks me nicely, I won't deny."
Xia Yuqing raised her eyebrows as she looked at Long Ming. " Are you sure?"
" Why not?"
Suddenly, Xia Yuqing walked forward and her expression changed.
" Dear disciple, Won't you give the Imperial Weapons to your poor Master? Don't worry, I will reward you *generously*."
*BOOM BOOM*
Long Ming felt like his Desolate Immortal Aura and Chaotic Murder Heart trembling violently when he heard Xia Yuqing's voice.
Her voice changed drastically, no longer being the cold and placid voice. When she spoke, her voice was like a seductress, a willful master who was trying to trick something away from her disciple.
" I…I…"
Although Long Ming learned to remain calm in any situation, her voice and expression were alone to crumble his mental wall.
" Alright, Where is it?"
" Yes?"
Xia Yuqing's voice regained its usual coldness.
" Where are those weapons?"
" Ah! Here…"
Long Ming could feel the rising coldness in the air as he hurriedly took out those two Imperial Weapons. When Xia Yuqing saw the wheel and the scroll, she couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.
" I see… Those legends were true after all." She sighed as she sat down, rubbing her forehead. " To think a person like you will find it and not people from our generation."
" What's wrong with me?" Long Ming raised his voice. " Am I any inferior to other people?"
Xia Yuqing smirked lightly as she spoke. " Fine, You did a great job. Here, take this token. You can enter any part of the treasury and scripture pavilion as you wish."
" Also, Other than the Imperial Weapons, you can pick any one of them."
Long Ming was surprised when he heard Xia Yuqing. " You are ready to give me the Royal grade weapons?"
" Why? You don't want it?"
Long Ming was both shocked and amused when he heard that. Other than these five, only seven more Royal grade weapons are in the sect. And Royal grade weapon is something only allowed to high rank elders.
" Hmm, I guess currently, I don't need it. I will ask when the time is right." Long Ming thought for a moment and answered.
Xia Yuqing was surprised again to see Long Ming managed to put a calm font before the allure of Royal grade weapons.
" Long Ming, What exactly do you want?" Xia Yuqing looked at him as she spoke. " You have been helping the sect from the moment you came here. But, You never asked anything in return. What is your motive?"
" Hmm, Now you ask… Isn't its a gentlemen's duty to help the beauties when they are in need?" Long Ming grinned.
" I doubt it. Because almost all those so-called gentlemen will use the opportunity to sneak into those beauty's beds." Xia Yuqing replied.
" So, Tell me, What should I do to keep you bound with this sect?"
Even though Long Ming's skin was pretty thick, he couldn't answer it at all. " Well, Sect Master, I think I am feeling tired. How about we talk next time?"
A light smile appeared on Xia Yuqing's face as she looked at Long Ming. " What do you think about marrying Mu Qinglian?"
" WHAT?!"
Long Ming was shocked when he herded that. " Th-That… I don't know what you are talking about. Senior Sister is just a good friend of mine. Why would I think of marrying her?"
" Is that so?" Xia Yuqing fell into thought. " Fine, Let's see what happens in the future. You should go and rest. The Zhongye Sect is coming tomorrow for sparring matches. Your presence is required."
" As you wish, Master." Long Ming gave a bow and turned around to leave.
Xia Yuqing looked at the treasures before her as she sighed. " Such a mess…"
" Hmph, You dare to made me utter those words. If not for your contribution...Pah..."
At this moment, she looked like an annoyed maiden rather than the dignified Sect Master.
But alas, There was no one here to witness it.

[ Ding! Elder…]
Long Ming realized that he was getting a ton of AP after the elder's meeting concluded. Thank's to it, he already got 70,000 AP by now.
" Hmm? What is this?"
Long Ming saw a product in the system shop he raised his eyebrows. It was called Punishing Crossbow.
[ Punishing Crossbow: It's a one time use item. It can ignore the natural defense of a Harmonization Realm Cultivator. Once hit, it will kill that person instantly]

' If I spin a roulette now, It wll cost 10,000 AP. So, I need 40,000 AP to purchase it.' Long Ming pondered as he nodded.
" Use 10,000 AP and spin the roulette."
[ Ding! Roulette is spinning!]

Long Ming chuckled as he got three White Silver grade and Four Green Bronze Rank treasures. But for him, other than the Superior Healing Elixirs, all of them were pretty useless.
" Hmm, I should give them to Xiao'er." Long Ming mumbled as he returned to the Solitaray Flower Peak.
" Huh?"
Long Ming suddenly halted his steps as his nose twitched. ' Mm? What is this aroma?'
" Young Master, You are back!"
Suddenly, Xiao'er lept into his embrace as she hugged him tightly. Long Ming was stunned as he looked at her.
" Wow…"
