"Little Junior Sister, what is this..."
Nangong Luo really wanted to gouge his own eyes out. With such potent spiritual herbs and elixirs, if it were him, he would surely develop a heart demon.
"These are all the spiritual herbs and immortal elixirs I obtained in the spiritual realm," Chu Lingwei replied truthfully. "I have no spiritual power now, so I can't keep them hidden."
Chu Lingwei believed that when she was brought back, her Master and the academy elders, as well as the hidden Dominator-level experts, must have known everything she had on her person.
Her storage pouch, in their eyes, was as good as nonexistent.
Rather than keep it like this, she might as well hand everything over obediently.
"Are you truly willing to hand it all over?" Nangong Luo couldn't help but swallow. If all these spiritual herbs were his, he could walk unhindered across the entire Xuantian Continent.
"Of course, I'm willing," Chu Lingwei smiled. "I definitely can't keep these spiritual herbs and immortal elixirs. It's better to give them to the academy. I believe Master will not treat me unfairly."
"Weiwei, it's best that you can think this way."
Bei Chenfeng appeared beside Chu Lingwei, took the storage pouch from Nangong Luo's hand, and collected it. "Don't worry, Weiwei, the academy will not treat you unfairly. Once we confirm these spiritual herbs are fine, we will return a portion to you."
Just as Chu Lingwei had thought, when Bei Chenfeng brought Chu Lingwei and the others back to the academy, the old monsters within the academy couldn't sit still. These people would not harm their own disciples, but these spiritual herbs were too tempting, and they were in great need of them.
Over the past month, they had been relentlessly pressuring him, wanting Chu Lingwei to hand over these items.
"Thank you, Master."
Chu Lingwei smiled happily.
Bei Chenfeng sensed several auras surrounding them and knew that the old monsters could no longer hold back.
"Weiwei, this is a ten-thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng. Rest well." Bei Chenfeng placed the ten-thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng into Chu Lingwei's hand and left with the storage pouch Chu Lingwei had surrendered.
"So many spiritual herbs."
Nangong Luo watched his Master's departing figure, almost drooling with envy. He had never seen so many spiritual elixirs in his entire life.
"They are just spiritual herbs and elixirs. Until they are refined into pills, they are of no use to me," Chu Lingwei said with a laugh, looking at Nangong Luo. "As for you, Second Senior Brother, don't forget that you are an eighth-rank alchemist. These spiritual herbs and immortal elixirs will soon be in your hands."
"Right, why didn't I think of that?"
Chu Lingwei's words enlightened Nangong Luo. He was an alchemist, and these spiritual herbs and elixirs would definitely come to him. He would help them refine pills, and he would also gain considerable benefits.
"Don't worry, Weiwei. Among the pills refined from these spiritual herbs and elixirs, you will definitely have a share."
"I've been waiting for this, Second Senior Brother." Chu Lingwei smiled. Getting pills directly was such a great thing, and she didn't have to spend money finding an alchemist or other ingredients.
"Little Junior Sister, you are indeed clever."
Nangong Luo nodded. Little Junior Sister understood things even more clearly than he did.
Thinking about it, all the pills refined from the spiritual herbs and immortal elixirs obtained by the academy from Chu Lingwei would have one sent to her. In this way, she hadn't lost much.
"Second Senior Brother, the portion of spiritual herbs that Master returns to me, I will give them all to you. You just need to give me a few of the refined pills."
Chu Lingwei poured some spiritual honey for her Second Senior Brother.
"Don't worry, Little Junior Sister. Second Senior Brother will definitely not mistreat you." Nangong Luo already felt as if all the spiritual herbs he had just seen were flying towards his pill furnace.
"Thank you, Second Senior Brother."
Chu Lingwei smiled. Thinking that she would receive many pills, she couldn't help but sigh, "It seems I won't be lacking pills in the future. I'm rich!"
Nangong Luo laughed along with her. He was also about to get rich.
As the two senior siblings marveled at their future wealthy lives, several figures quietly departed, without a sound.
However, there was one piece of bad news that made Chu Lingwei lament the unpredictability of life.
That was, at the time the spiritual realm self-destructed, many disciples who were standing before the Buddhist Pagoda and were in the Spiritual Wheel realm had their cultivation greatly reduced.
Restoring their cultivation required Master to use many rare spiritual herbs and elixirs. Some disciples did not have a good master like Bei Chenfeng. Their fate was to surrender their spiritual herbs, suffer a drop in cultivation, and fend for themselves.
Chu Lingwei sighed, thinking that even if they brought out so many spiritual herbs, if they couldn't protect them, they weren't theirs.
Another month later, Chu Lingwei could attempt to circulate the spiritual power within her body and slowly repair her body.
"Weiwei, how are you?"
Finally, Chu Lingwei regained contact with the spatial realm. Feng Ming, upon hearing Chu Lingwei's voice, was almost in tears.
"I'm very well. My body will recover soon."
When Chu Lingwei's spiritual power was sealed by her Third Senior Brother, she had broken off all contact with the spatial realm. After hearing what her Second Senior Brother said, she became even more hesitant to contact the spatial realm.
In this world, Dominator-level great gods were everywhere. Chu Lingwei had to be extremely cautious.
"Weiwei, we were all so worried about you." Feng Ming sobbed.
"Why are you crying? Aren't I doing fine?" Chu Lingwei hugged Feng Ming, comforting her as she listened to her cries.
"At the time, I almost thought you were going to die." Feng Ming cried even more sadly. For a moment, she had thought her connection with Weiwei would be severed.
Chu Lingwei felt a little helpless, stroking Feng Ming's body. "How could that happen? We have a contract. If I died, you would definitely sense it."
"Exactly, Feng Ming is getting dumber and dumber." Huan Mao nodded vigorously. She had told her long ago that Weiwei would be fine, but she just didn't believe it and cried every day.
"You're the one who's dumb." Feng Ming glared angrily at Huan Mao. This stinking cat was truly detestable. "Weiwei, this cat is too hateful. He bullies me every day."
"When have I ever bullied you? Bring me evidence," Huan Mao pouted. She just loved to tattle; it was utterly boring.
Chu Lingwei listened to their bickering and felt that her cave abode had become lively.
"I want to go out for a walk. Do you want to come with me?"
Today, her Third Senior Brother had brought news that Master had agreed to let her leave her cave abode.
"Yes, yes!" Feng Ming immediately jumped back in front of Chu Lingwei, looking exceptionally well-behaved.
"Weiwei, where are we going?" Huan Mao squatted on Chu Lingwei's shoulder, closing her eyes and enjoying the spiritual energy of Mount Wuhui, which made her feel extremely content.
"To see Master."
Since she was allowed to leave her cave abode, her first priority was to pay her respects to Master.
"Your disciple pays her respects to Master."
Chu Lingwei arrived at Bei Chenfeng's cave abode and bowed respectfully.
"Weiwei, there's no need for such formality." Bei Chenfeng used his spiritual power to help Chu Lingwei up and offered her a chair. "Sit down and talk."
"Weiwei, do you have something important to see me about?"
Bei Chenfeng summoned Feng Ming to his side, nodded with satisfaction, and then sent her back to Chu Lingwei's side.
