Inside the Scripture Library’s cultivation room, Sun Yi was holding a jade slip and reading with great interest. This jade slip recorded many artifact-refining techniques, along with a large number of descriptions of the properties of cultivation materials, broadening Sun Yi’s horizons greatly.
There were many jade slips like this in the Scripture Library. Sun Yi had already read no fewer than several hundred of them. For ordinary cultivators, what they paid attention to might be all kinds of powerful cultivation methods, arts, and secret techniques. Some of the notes left behind by seniors in the Scripture Library had even been discarded in corners.
However, to Sun Yi, these were extremely rare treasures. At this moment, he had already completely immersed himself in the ocean of knowledge.
“Sect Leader, come with me. The Patriarch wants to see you.”
Just as Sun Yi was reading with relish, a loud voice exploded beside his ear, directly waking him up.
He raised his head and saw that at some point, Elder Han Yun of the Transmission Hall had already arrived beside him and was looking at him coldly. That gaze made Sun Yi feel that something was not good.
“Elder Han, why are you looking at me like that? Did I offend you?” Sun Yi could not help asking.
“Stop talking nonsense. Come with me. The Patriarch and the others are waiting for you in the central hall.”
Elder Han Yun did not wait for Sun Yi to answer. He directly reached out, lifted Sun Yi up, and left, just like carrying a little chicken. Throughout the whole process, Luo An could only watch.
“Elder Han Yun, what happened?” Sensing that Elder Han Yun’s attitude was wrong, Sun Yi faintly felt that something might have happened.
He remembered that the last time he saw Han Yun, Han Yun had still been very polite to him. How had his attitude taken a complete one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn now?
“You will naturally know when we arrive at the central hall.” Elder Han Yun’s face was calm, and his attitude toward Sun Yi was clearly poor.
Han Yun carried Sun Yi through the air. Only after rushing into the central hall did he let go of Sun Yi.
Sun Yi twisted his aching shoulder, which had been grabbed painfully, and turned his gaze. He saw the five Golden Core elders and Patriarch Qingxuan all staring at him with unfriendly expressions.
“Patriarch, five elders, I do not think I have offended any of you, right? Why are you all looking at me like that?”
Sun Yi remembered that he had been in the Scripture Library all this time and had not done anything bad.
Elder Jin Jue snorted coldly and was the first to attack. “Hmph, you have not offended us, but our Qingyun Sect is about to be harmed by you until it almost disbands. This is all your good work!” Get faster updates on novelping . com.
“What did I do?” Sun Yi looked at Elder Jin Jue in confusion.
Elder Jin Jue looked coldly at Sun Yi. “The reform rules you formulated have consumed massive amounts of the sect’s resources. It has only been half a year, yet the sect’s resource consumption is dozens of times what it was before. If this continues, in less than half a year, our Qingyun Sect will inevitably disband because its resources are exhausted.”
Elder Qin Chu also stared at Sun Yi and questioned him. “Sun Yi, what exactly are your intentions? Are you deliberately trying to bring down our Qingyun Sect?”
Elder Li Tai also questioned Sun Yi with an unfriendly expression. “What about the promise you gave us? Did you not say you would lead the sect to rise powerfully within one year?”
Elder Han Yun also snorted coldly. “We have been busy inside and outside for this entire half year, while you hid at ease in the Scripture Library cultivating and even wasted the sect treasury’s resources. Is this how you act as sect leader?”
Elder Ye Luo’s expression was as dark as water. “I reorganized the entire Miscellaneous Arts Hall according to your wishes, but during this half year, you did not ask about it at all. What are your intentions? Are you deliberately consuming the sect’s resources to win people over? Do you think that because the disciples all lean toward you, there is nothing we can do to you?”
Looking at the angry elders, Sun Yi instantly understood. “So the elders are angry with me because of this matter?”
“Not angry? Because of you, the sect’s resources are almost exhausted. When the sect’s resources run out, tell me what we should do. Should we directly disband the sect?” Elder Jin Jue said with a face full of anger.
Patriarch Qingxuan also looked at Sun Yi with a dark expression. “Sun Yi, tell us what should be done.”
Sun Yi smiled faintly. His gaze swept over Patriarch Qingxuan and the five Golden Core elders, then he confidently patted his chest. “Please give me three days. I guarantee there will be a way to solve the sect’s resource problem.”
In reality, Sun Yi had already combined the materials and knowledge of the cultivation world yesterday and researched the detection radar. With the insight of a handicraft expert, there was absolutely no problem with this detection radar. He had only been delayed because he was reading a book.
“Hmph, what will you use to guarantee it? You are not trying to delay for time again, are you?” Jin Jue angrily questioned Sun Yi.
Looking at the furious Elder Jin Jue, Sun Yi smiled. “Elder Jin Jue, since you do not believe me, why don’t we make a bet?”
“How do you want to bet?” Elder Jin Jue glared at Sun Yi without the slightest fear.
Sun Yi still wore a smile. “Very simple. Within three days, if I do not find a solution, I will let you deal with me however you wish. If I do find a solution, then from now on, you must follow my lead and no longer question me.”
Elder Jin Jue did not believe Sun Yi could solve the sect’s resource shortage in three days, so he immediately agreed straightforwardly. “Good. Do you think I would be afraid of you?”
Sun Yi smiled, then looked at Patriarch Qingxuan. “Patriarch, you heard that with your own ears. If I win, you must uphold justice for me.”
Patriarch Qingxuan said calmly, “If you can truly solve the sect’s resource problem within three days, then let alone Jin Jue, everyone else will also follow your lead from now on. In the future, whatever you say goes, and no one may question it.” Visit novelping dot com for the full chapter.
“A real man cannot take back a word once it is spoken. I guarantee I will solve the problem within three days. However, I still need some help,” Sun Yi said, his tone changing.
“Speak,” Patriarch Qingxuan said a single word calmly.
“I need to use the Artifact Refining Hall, and everyone in the Artifact Refining Hall must fully cooperate with me. In addition, I also need some materials. Please have Elder Ye Luo prepare them for me.”
Patriarch Qingxuan looked at Elder Ye Luo. “Ye Luo, I will leave this matter to you. Fully cooperate with Sun Yi. There must be no mistakes.”
“Yes,” Elder Ye Luo nodded respectfully.
“Let us go, Elder Ye Luo. Take me to the Artifact Refining Hall. I have been sect leader for this long, so it is about time I went to take a look.” Sun Yi attached great importance to the Artifact Refining Hall, but he had simply been too busy recently.
Originally, Sun Yi had planned to wait until the Battle Tower had been open for another half year before acting, but he had not expected the elders to be this anxious. It seemed the plan had to be moved ahead.
Elder Ye Luo was speechless for a moment. With a wave of his large hand, true qi swept up Sun Yi and turned into a streak of escape light that rushed out of the central hall.
“Master, do you believe that kid can solve the sect’s resource shortage in three days?” Elder Qin Chu frowned and looked at Patriarch Qingxuan.
Patriarch Qingxuan’s gaze flashed. “It is only three days either way. Is whether we believe him really that important? If he does not find a solution within three days, he will naturally have to give an explanation. If he can find a solution, that will be a tremendous good thing for our Qingyun Sect.”
“Hmph, I do not believe that kid can find a solution in three days,” Elder Jin Jue snorted coldly again, still indignant.
Elder Ye Luo carried Sun Yi in flight. Before long, they landed at the Miscellaneous Arts Hall.
The Miscellaneous Arts Hall was located on the back side of the main peak and occupied a fairly large area. It contained four major halls: the Artifact Refining Hall, the Alchemy Hall, the Talisman Hall, and the Formation Hall.
Ordinarily, apart from the fixed members of the four major halls themselves, sect disciples would occasionally come to borrow the Miscellaneous Arts Hall’s spaces.
The place where Sun Yi and Elder Ye Luo stood now was the Artifact Refining Hall. The building before them looked somewhat old and worn, giving off a somewhat declining feeling. Sun Yi shook his head and walked straight in. He decided that Qingyun Sect’s rise would begin from here.
