Chapter 522: Developing the Yunlan Sect!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Liu Ling assured Gu He, "Master, don't worry. I will handle this matter flawlessly!"
"Good! I'm glad you have such confidence!" Hearing Liu Ling's assurance, Gu He nodded with a smile.
...
Early the next morning, Liu Ling left the Nine-Colored Valley and headed straight to the sect's main hall.
Although Liu Ling was still young, his status in the Yunlan Sect was extremely high. After all, he was the senior brother of the sect leader, Nalan Yanran, and his alchemy skills were exceptional. What the outside world knew was that he had already broken through to the sixth-grade alchemist level, surpassing even Fa Ma, the president of the Imperial Capital Alchemist Guild.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Liu Ling!"
"Greetings, Senior Brother Liu Ling!"
As soon as Liu Ling arrived at the main hall, the two disciples on duty at the entrance greeted him with great respect.
"Hmm!"
Hearing the greetings from the two disciples on duty, Liu Ling didn't put on any airs and responded with a smile and a nod.
Then, Liu Ling stepped directly into the main hall.
Previously, when Nalan Yanran chose to go out to train with Xiao Yi Xian, she had instructed the Grand Elder, Yun Leng, to handle the various trivial matters of the Yunlan Sect in her absence.
At this moment, as Liu Ling entered the hall, Yun Leng was discussing some matters with several other elders. Seeing Liu Ling suddenly walk in, they immediately stopped their discussion and greeted him with smiles, their eyes filled with admiration.
"Junior Nephew Liu Ling, what brings you here today?" Yun Leng greeted him in a gentle tone.
"Grand Elder, I'm here because I have good news!" Liu Ling responded with a smile, then walked straight up to Yun Leng.
"Good news?"
"Do tell!"
Hearing Liu Ling's words, Yun Leng's mind raced with curiosity, filled with speculation.
"Ahem! Ahem! Everyone here is a veteran of the Yunlan Sect, so I won't beat around the bush!"
After stopping beside Yun Leng, Liu Ling turned to face the people in the hall, cleared his throat, and said, "I'm here on behalf of my master to bring some items to replenish the sect's treasure vault!"
"Elder Gu He has sent you to bring treasures for the sect's vault?"
"What is it?"
Hearing Liu Ling's words, all the elders, including Yun Leng, couldn't help but show joy on their faces. After all, Gu He had already replenished the sect's vault twice before with many fourth to sixth-grade pills. Now, after two years, they were finally witnessing this moment again.
"Although all of you are elders of the Yunlan Sect, I still need to remind you in advance. What happens today is a secret of the Yunlan Sect and must not be disclosed to the outside world for the next few years!" While saying this, Liu Ling still wore a smile, but everyone in the hall could sense a serious tone in his words.
Shortly after Liu Ling finished speaking, Yun Leng stepped forward and said, "Junior Nephew Liu Ling, rest assured. Since this is a sect secret, we will never casually disclose it. Anyone who violates this will be dealt with according to sect rules—no mercy!"
After Yun Leng's declaration, the other elders in the hall also voiced their assurances.
Seeing that everyone had made their stance clear, Liu Ling took out the spatial ring given to him by Gu He.
"Elders, this time, my master has returned from his travels in the Central Plains with a batch of treasures. This ring contains five hundred seventh-grade pills, all of which will be deposited into the sect's treasure vault!" Liu Ling raised the spatial ring and spoke slowly, "The value of five hundred seventh-grade pills should be clear to all of you."
"Five hundred seventh-grade pills? This..."
Hearing Liu Ling's words, all the elders in the hall were stunned. They had initially thought that what Gu He had sent Liu Ling to bring would be similar to before—pills ranging from fourth to sixth grade. They never expected it to be five hundred seventh-grade pills.
In the Jia Ma Empire, a single seventh-grade pill could be considered a priceless treasure, something that couldn't be bought with money. Yet now, five hundred of them had appeared at once.
Under the watchful eyes of the Yunlan Sect elders, Liu Ling directly took out all five hundred jade bottles from the spatial ring and arranged them densely on the floor in front of him.
In the next moment, Liu Ling's aura erupted, and the pressure of a five-star Dou Ancestor washed over everyone present. Then, Liu Ling quickly formed several hand seals, setting up a rudimentary spatial seal within the hall.
"This... such a powerful aura!"
"This aura... even the old sect leader, who had reached the Dou Ancestor level, probably didn't possess such strength!"
"Junior Nephew Liu Ling has already become this powerful?"
"Previously, Junior Nephew Xiao Yi Xian had already reached the Dou Ancestor level, and Junior Nephew Liu Ling is her senior brother. It would be strange if his cultivation were lower than hers. I always found it odd, but it turns out Junior Nephew Liu Ling has been keeping his cultivation hidden all this time."
"To reach the Dou Ancestor level at such a young age, and to be a sixth-grade alchemist as well—Junior Nephew Liu Ling's future is limitless!"
"With Junior Nephew Liu Ling here, our Yunlan Sect will undoubtedly become the most powerful sect in the entire Northwestern Continent within a few decades!"
At this moment, the elders in the hall, upon learning of Liu Ling's cultivation level, were all extremely excited, envisioning the glorious future of the Yunlan Sect.
Liu Ling, however, did not let the elders' words go to his head. Instead, he continued calmly, "Elders, please inspect these seventh-grade pills. Afterward, we will enter the sect's treasure vault together, and I will deposit all these pills into it."
As soon as Liu Ling finished speaking, seven or eight elders immediately stepped forward and randomly selected a jade bottle to open.
Instantly, an incredibly rich medicinal fragrance wafted out from the bottles, accompanied by faint energy fluctuations.
"They really are all seventh-grade pills!"
After sampling a few bottles, even the elders who had initially harbored some doubts were now completely convinced.
"Each elder present may take one of these pills. In the future, according to the newly established rules, they will be distributed based on time and merit. Additionally, these pills will be incorporated into the sect's reward system. Disciples and elders who perform exceptionally well or make significant contributions to the sect will be rewarded accordingly..." After the elders had inspected the pills, Liu Ling added a few more instructions.
Having said this, Liu Ling distributed one seventh-grade pill to each elder, then collected the remaining pills. Together with Yun Leng, he led the elders toward the Yunlan Sect's treasure vault.
