The news of the procurement mistake spread throughout the entire Spirit Crane Palace like wildfire. Whether they were ordinary disciples, elite disciples, or even core disciples, everyone rushed over.

Every person who arrived immediately knelt down without hesitation to plead for Chu Xinghe.

Wei Deqian's scalp tingled as he watched this scene.

He found it hard to imagine how one person could make the entire Spirit Crane Palace come out to plead for him.

Not only Wei Deqian, but even the Elder-in-Charge was shocked.

But amidst the shock, he felt more joy.

The Elder-in-Charge knew that Chu Xinghe was extremely popular in the Spirit Crane Palace. The senior disciples had gone to great lengths to help him with his spiritual tomb visit before.

But it was only now, witnessing this scene, that the Elder-in-Charge realized he had underestimated Chu Xinghe.

Easy to share wealth, difficult to share hardships.

If Chu Xinghe had received a reward today and everyone came to congratulate him, the Elder-in-Charge wouldn't have had any problems.

But today, Chu Xinghe made a big mistake. In his anger, these children should know his temper. In the past, he had punished all those who pleaded for mercy.

"Get up, all of you! Anyone else who dares to plead for mercy will be punished as well!" the Elder-in-Charge shouted sternly.

But at this moment, not a single person stood up. Everyone remained kneeling in place, motionless.

This scene truly shocked the Elder-in-Charge... but he felt more relieved in his heart.

When he shouted those words just now, he wanted to see if, faced with his punishment, these people would turn and leave out of fear, or if they would truly do everything to defend their junior brother Xinghe.

Now the Elder-in-Charge had his answer.

This kid, Chu Xinghe...

Since the establishment of the Vast Heaven Sect, since the creation of the Spirit Crane Palace, there had never been a person with such charm, who in such a short time made the entire Spirit Crane Palace willingly accept punishment for him!

But upon careful consideration, the Elder-in-Charge understood that Chu Xinghe hadn't done anything... he simply remained true to himself, showing utmost humility to every senior brother. He eagerly took on any difficult or tiring tasks.

From elite disciples to core disciples, and even his own personal disciples who were on the verge of becoming the sect master's personal disciples, if it were someone else, wouldn't they be arrogant at the Ninth Layer of Heaven?

But not Chu Xinghe. He was still the exceptional junior brother in everyone's eyes. He never changed his attitude towards his senior brothers because of his own status. Even if he encountered the most ordinary disciple of the Spirit Crane Palace, Chu Xinghe would respectfully greet them and address them as senior brother.

Whoever sought Chu Xinghe's help, he always responded without hesitation. He would do what others were unwilling to do, and he wasn't afraid of hard work.

This Chu Xinghe has invisibly influenced the entire Spirit Crane Palace, and no matter who in the Spirit Crane Palace makes a mistake, others dare not intercede, but Chu Xinghe does.

Even when he was most angry, he once said that if anyone dared to intercede again, he would kick them out of the Vast Heaven Sect.

But the Elder still remembers Chu Xinghe's determined gaze and words.

"Elder, if expelling me from the sect can calm your anger, then please expel me from the sect. Although Senior Brother is at fault, an unintentional mistake should not be punished like this. If the Elder wants to punish someone, punish me! Please spare my Senior Brother!"

These were Chu Xinghe's words. Since Chu Xinghe entered the Spirit Crane Palace, whenever there was a mistake made by a Senior Brother, there would be scenes of Chu Xinghe interceding and offering to take the punishment instead.

Once... twice... every time...

The Elder couldn't remember how many times, but the Elder knew that in the Spirit Crane Palace, Junior Brother Xinghe was on everyone's lips every day, even in private, he had never heard anyone speak ill of Chu Xinghe.

The elders of the Spirit Crane Palace also rushed over from all directions, and when they saw the scene, their faces were filled with shock.

But soon the elders spoke up: "Elder, no one is perfect, you know Xinghe's character the best. This is the first time he has handled such a matter, making a mistake is inevitable. Not to mention Xinghe, even when we were young, didn't we make mistakes?"

"Yes, Elder, using the Vast Heaven Token is indeed a transgression, but since the Sect Master entrusted the Vast Heaven Token to Xinghe, he didn't say it couldn't be used!"

"That's right! The Sect Master didn't say it couldn't be used. Speaking of which, Xinghe using the Vast Heaven Token is not a crime. Elder, you have been busy these days and must have been unable to be found at that time. This child doesn't understand the rules, so this happened."

"Wei Deqian, did Xinghe mention that you were busy at that time?" An elder stared at Wei Deqian.

"Ah... yes... yes... I remember Xinghe desperately searching for you, Elder, but couldn't find you. He was afraid of delaying the procurement time, so he had no choice but to use the Vast Heaven Token. It's also my fault. I didn't explain it clearly to Junior Brother Xinghe, so it's not Junior Brother Xinghe's intention to do so!"

Wei Deqian is purely talking nonsense!

But at this moment, if Wei Deqian had even one functioning brain cell left, he would know what he could say and what he couldn't say.

If he were to explain the situation truthfully, these people from the Spirit Crane Palace would definitely tear him apart!

Don't be fooled by my weight of over 300 catties, it's not enough for each of them to take a bite.

For someone who can make the entire Spirit Crane Palace intercede for him, do you dare to speak ill of him?

The Elder looked at Wei Deqian, and obviously, the Elder was extremely satisfied with Wei Deqian's answer.

The whole audience was very satisfied, except for Chu Xinghe!

You fat bastard... What the hell are you talking about? Is that really what I did at the time?

Chu Xinghe wanted to jump up and give this fat guy a big slap, but he couldn't do that. The scene of so many senior brothers and elders pleading for him today was also a huge shock to Chu Xinghe.

People have things they should and shouldn't do. With so many senior brothers and elders pleading for him, he couldn't say another word.

"Chu Xinghe!"

"I'm here..."

"Using the Vast Heaven Token without authorization in the Vast Heaven Sect is a serious crime. However, considering that you have only recently joined and are not familiar enough with the rules, it can be forgiven. But mistakes must be punished. Are you willing to accept it?"

"Rewards must be given for achievements, and punishments must be given for mistakes. I am willing to accept any punishment. Please, Elder, bestow your punishment." Chu Xinghe was excited in his heart!

Finally, I'm going to be punished!

"Good. This procurement mistake was also Feng Fei's responsibility. Feng Fei will be penalized with half a year's worth of resources."

"Thank you, Elder, for your mercy." Feng Fei expressed his gratitude. After all, this punishment... in charge of the pill-making Spirit Crane Palace, it was just a formality.

"Chu Xinghe, for using the Vast Heaven Token without authorization, considering the circumstances, you will be confined to the Medicine King Palace for three months. During this period, you are only allowed to refine pills and cannot step out of the Medicine King Palace. The Vast Heaven Token will be taken back by the sect. I will report this matter to the sect master."

"Thank you, Elder, for your mercy..." Countless senior brothers and elders expressed their gratitude to the Elder, and finally, smiles appeared on everyone's faces.

Confined in the Medicine King Palace for three months? This punishment is nothing at all. Xinghe junior brother can just focus on cultivating in the Medicine King Palace for three months. Besides, if he needs anything, his senior brothers can still provide it for him.

Everyone was smiling... but Chu Xinghe was crying.

Is that it? Elder... couldn't you at least strip me of my status as a direct disciple?

Losing the status of a direct disciple would directly promote me to Fifth Grade. What does being confined mean?

But now, Chu Xinghe had no choice. Three months of confinement was just three months of confinement. It was better than nothing.

At the same time the Elder's words fell, Chu Xinghe felt a shock in his head, and the next second, the Compass of Misfortune hidden in his mind started to turn for the first time.

The pointer quickly stopped at the punishment of three months of confinement, indicating that his mission was completed, and the reward appeared before Chu Xinghe's eyes.

As a result of the three months of confinement, the reward was the peak cultivation of a Second Grade Martial Master...

Chu Xinghe felt an invisible force released from the compass, and his spiritual power suddenly surged. He had just broken through to the initial stage of the Second Grade, and now he directly reached the peak of a Second Grade Martial Master...

Awesome!

Although it's a small gain, it's still meat. Finally, I see hope!

Elder Dazhang took Vast Heaven's token and left Spirit Crane Palace. This matter is too significant and must be reported to the sect master.

Many senior brothers came to comfort Chu Xinghe.

"Junior Brother Xinghe, it's Senior Brother Feng's fault. I shouldn't have done that to your good intentions!" Feng Fei blamed himself.

"Senior Brother Feng, you're wrong. It's my fault for not being careful, which led to this result. Senior Brother, you're also being punished because of me. I... I..."

"Ah... Junior Brother Xinghe, Senior Brother Feng's punishment is nothing. Other places don't have the resources for pills like Spirit Crane Palace does. So, Junior Brother, you don't need to blame yourself."

"That's right, last time I made a mistake, and if it weren't for Junior Brother Xinghe, I would probably have been expelled from Spirit Crane Palace."

"And me... Junior Brother Xinghe, you've always been so righteous to your senior brothers. We won't just stand by and watch you be punished!"

"That's right! Junior Brother Xinghe, don't worry. Three months will pass quickly. Just focus on cultivating in Medicine King Palace. If you need anything, just say the word, and we'll get it for you."

"Thank you, senior brothers." Chu Xinghe was truly moved at this moment.

Many elders also came to comfort Chu Xinghe, mainly reminding him not to have any complaints about the punishment from Elder Dazhang. Elder Dazhang's character is such that he loves deeply and holds you accountable.

Hold you accountable... Chu Xinghe felt like spitting. Is this considered punishment?

The punishment I wanted was not like this at all...

Elder Dazhang personally entered Vast Heaven Palace and returned the Vast Heaven's token. The sect master was also shocked when he heard about the situation at that time.

It's not difficult for a disciple to have a group of people pleading for him, but for a disciple to make Spirit Crane Palace plead, it's simply unbelievable.

Regarding Elder Dazhang's punishment, the sect master only said that he understood and reminded Elder Dazhang to keep an eye on that stinky kid Chu Xinghe, not only in learning alchemy but also in cultivating the Vast Heaven's battle intent.

Hearing this, Elder Dazhang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he had passed this test set by the sect master.

After all, Elder Dazhang himself knew that his punishment was nothing. Whether the sect master would be dissatisfied or not, the fact that the sect master said so indicated that he was very satisfied with his actions.

The news quickly spread throughout the entire Vast Heaven Sect.

Chu Xinghe's fault and the incident of all the disciples of Spirit Crane Palace kneeling and pleading shocked many people.

"I'm telling you, if I were there, I would definitely plead for Junior Brother Xinghe!" Wan Lin, who is now an elite disciple of Qiu Lin Palace, said. Regardless of what other senior sisters and junior sisters of Qiu Lin Palace thought, she would definitely support Chu Xinghe.

"Junior Brother Xinghe is the most righteous person I've ever met. There's no doubt about his treatment of fellow disciples. I may not be good with words, but if Junior Brother Xinghe is in trouble, I, Wan Lin, will definitely risk my life to help!"

Wan Lin has become Chu Xinghe's little fangirl without realizing it...
