The sect leader and the elder burst into laughter, leaving Qin Xiangqian feeling horrified, and Chu Xinghe also had a sense of foreboding!

Soon... the elder directly opened the information from the spirit bird, and the content on the information appeared in front of Chu Xinghe and Qin Xiangqian at the same time.

When they saw the content, Qin Xiangqian was dumbfounded.

Chu Xinghe felt as if his heart had been stabbed...

Damn it... the bad feeling really came true.

The information on the spirit bird was simple: something went wrong with the raw stones.

After the raw stones produced by the large mine were sent to the Shi family, it was discovered that the raw stones didn't produce any High Grade spirit stones at all, they were all the lowest grade.

This was not good. The top ten sects had invested heavily in buying the raw stones, and they were confirmed to be fine by the Shi family before the purchase.

But now, this happened. Would the sects agree?

They directly started a fight at the Shi family, and the head of the Shi family was beaten until he spat blood. The sects even made it clear that if the Shi family didn't give an explanation, they would not let it go.

It was said that the person who made the head of the Shi family spit blood was from the Tingxue Pavilion, and someone named Jia Gui seemed to have fainted on the spot.

Compared to other sects, although everyone suffered losses, it was only the loss of the base price, not being able to obtain ten times the price.

It was considered a loss, but not a bloodbath.

But the Tingxue Pavilion was different. They were the top players who bought the raw stones at five times the price from the Vast Heaven Sect. The Vast Heaven Sect had the most raw stones, so they didn't just suffer losses, they were bleeding!

Chu Xinghe looked at the information from the spirit bird and felt like he was about to faint on the spot, just like Jia Gui.

But just as Chu Xinghe was about to vomit blood, the Compass of Misfortune actually started spinning again.

What the hell?

Just as Chu Xinghe was wondering, the Compass of Misfortune stopped at the peak of the Third Grade cultivation level!

Did he... receive a reward?

What the hell was this? Didn't he cause losses to the sect and make a bloody profit? Why would there be a reward? But in an instant, when he saw Qin Xiangqian next to him, who looked ashen, Chu Xinghe thought of something.

"Good child... It seems you have discovered the problem with this batch of raw stones in advance. The art of stone identification is also part of the Medicine Saint's inheritance. Why didn't you inform Qin Xiangqian in advance? Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to come and complain. It made me and the sect leader think that you were up to mischief again." The elder's face was full of affection.

When the elder heard about Chu Xinghe's situation just now, he was truly shocked. After all, the Vast Heaven Order was still fresh in his memory. Although he had authorized it this time, for an elder to do such a thing with the Elder's Order, causing the sect to suffer losses, he really couldn't protect Chu Xinghe. He would definitely be heavily punished.

The elder was puzzled as to why Chu Xinghe would do such a thing, but now he suddenly understood. He even automatically imagined Chu Xinghe as a good child, afraid that the sect would suffer losses and willing to use the Elder's Order. The reason he didn't tell Qin Xiangqian in advance was probably because he was afraid of leaking the news.

"Hahaha... The Medicine Saint's inheritance is truly extraordinary. But the Medicine Saint did not choose the wrong person. This child... is truly blessed by Vast Heaven!"

"Qin Xiangqian, now that things are clear, you should thank Xinghe for cleaning up the mess for you. If Xinghe hadn't intervened, do you know what your fate would be?" The sect leader's voice became stern again.

"Qin Xiangqian, this time you have gained a blessing in disguise. As for your previous accusation against Xinghe, I believe Xinghe is magnanimous and will not stoop to your level. This matter ends here."

"Yes..." Qin Xiangqian's face was ashen at this moment. After bowing to the sect leader and the elder, he left.

"Good child... You should rest as well." The elder waved his hand, signaling for Chu Xinghe to leave.

Leaving the Vast Heaven Palace, Chu Xinghe saw Qin Xiangqian in the distance, looking lost and dejected. In fact, it wasn't just him who felt lost and dejected at this moment. Chu Xinghe himself was not in a good state either.

But the Third Grade Peak reward from the Compass of Misfortune was somewhat comforting.

"Qin Xiangqian!"

"Senior... Xinghe..." Qin Xiangqian still looked lost and dejected, but when he saw Chu Xinghe, he panicked again.

"How much did you keep in the end?"

"Ah!" Qin Xiangqian's legs went weak when he heard Chu Xinghe's words, almost kneeling to the ground. Fortunately, Chu Xinghe reacted quickly and grabbed him!

People say that Ma Liang is a bringer of good fortune, but Chu Xinghe felt that Qin Xiangqian was the true bringer of good fortune. If it weren't for him this time, he would have truly lost everything. Fortunately, Qin Xiangqian didn't listen and secretly kept some raw stones, causing damage to the sect. Although it was indirect, it was still related to him. That's why he received the reward. Chu Xinghe felt that he must keep someone who didn't listen and caused trouble like this.

In this era where everyone digs their own graves, it's really not easy to find someone like Qin Xiangqian who brings good fortune.

"Senior... Xinghe... I deserve to die... I deserve to die..." Qin Xiangqian's face turned pale as paper from fright.

"How much did you keep in the end?"

"One-tenth... Senior... Xinghe, I... I really didn't know your good intentions, I... I..." Qin Xiangqian was truly panicked at this moment. He knew that if this matter were made public, no one could save him.

Disobeying the Elder's Order, just this alone, he would die a hundred times over!

"Alright, I understand this matter. After you go back, no matter what method you use, plug the hole yourself. This matter ends here," Chu Xinghe said calmly.

Upon hearing Chu Xinghe's words, Qin Xiangqian was immediately stunned in place.

At this moment, he couldn't believe it. Xinghe senior actually let him go?

He didn't know how much effort he had put into coming to the sect to report him, but Xinghe senior didn't bring up the matter of him secretly keeping the raw stone in front of the sect leader.

And now, he was even given a chance... to go back and plug the hole himself!

Qin Xiangqian truly admired him at this moment. When he first came to Vast Heaven Palace and saw so many people respecting Xinghe senior, even the elders of various palaces liking Xinghe senior, Qin Xiangqian didn't understand why.

But now he knew... he understood...

If he had called Xinghe senior before out of respect for his high status, then at this moment, his address to Xinghe senior had nothing to do with status... he genuinely admired and respected him, completely won over by Xinghe senior's magnanimity and broad-mindedness!

A person who was misunderstood and reported by others, yet didn't hold a grudge and ultimately helped that person. What a noble person!

"Smack!" Qin Xiangqian slapped himself hard.

"Senior Xinghe! I will remember today's matter in my heart. Thank you, Senior Xinghe, for sparing me."

"Alright, stop it. You have been diligent and hardworking for the sect for so many years. Even if you haven't made any contributions, you have still put in effort. But remember, there must not be a next time."

"Senior Xinghe, rest assured. From today onwards, if you ask me to go east, I will never go west. If you ask me to chase a dog, I will never chase a chicken."

Qin Xiangqian left, leaving Vast Heaven Sect with infinite respect for Chu Xinghe.

Thanks to Chu Xinghe's intervention, Vast Heaven Sect became the only winner in this raw stone incident.

Although Chu Xinghe felt uncomfortable, fortunately, Qin Xiangqian, who knew the truth, still helped him out, so he didn't leave empty-handed.

Not long after Qin Xiangqian left, the people and horses of the Vast Heaven caravan finally arrived at Vast Heaven Sect.

When a large number of vehicles carrying boxes with the Vast Heaven Sect cloud pattern logo entered Vast Heaven Sect, it attracted the attention of countless people.

"What is this?"

"I don't know... I heard Xinghe senior bought them!"

"What? What did Xinghe senior buy? There are so many!"

"I don't know... how much money did this cost?"

"Xinghe senior is a disciple of Spirit Crane Palace. I heard that the senior brothers of Spirit Crane Palace treat Xinghe senior as a treasure. This amount of money is nothing to Spirit Crane Palace, right?"

A large number of blind boxes were delivered to Vast Heaven Sect, and just as everyone was discussing what Chu Xinghe was up to, the blind boxes were distributed.

"Elders... as a disciple going down the mountain for the first time, I wanted to bring some gifts for the elders and fellow disciples. But I didn't know what everyone likes, so I used this method. The blind boxes contain everything. No matter what you open, it's just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't laugh," Chu Xinghe said as he handed out the blind boxes to the elders of each palace.

The elders who received this kind of gift for the first time were stunned, but soon couldn't help but laugh.

This child... there were disciples from various palaces who went down the mountain before, but they would bring back precious gifts. However, those gifts were only given to those who could help them or bring them some improvement.

Although there was nothing wrong with giving gifts, those who didn't receive any gifts would still feel a bit sour.

But Chu Xinghe's method was interesting.

Everything was packed in blind boxes, and he himself didn't know what he was giving!

From the sect leader to the elders, and even the outer disciples, Chu Xinghe prepared a blind box for each of them, treating them all equally.

If you were an elder, you might open a blind box and find a useless cloth doll, and if you were an outer disciple, you might open a blind box and find a highly valuable treasure.

This approach not only made everyone feel fresh, but also secretly nodded at Chu Xinghe's equal treatment.

This child... he really put in effort!

The elders received the blind boxes, and Gu Mingchao also received one. When Gu Mingchao opened the blind box and saw the grasshopper doll inside, he couldn't help but smile.

The grasshopper doll was of low value, but at this moment, it seemed more precious to Gu Mingchao than all the treasures brought back by the disciples.

Because Chu Xinghe's approach was first fair, and secondly, treated everyone equally!

How could Gu Mingchao not like such Chu Xinghe?

Gu Mingchao carefully placed the grasshopper doll in the most prominent position on his treasure shelf. Compared to the priceless treasures around it, the grasshopper doll might not be worth mentioning, but in Gu Mingchao's heart, it was far more precious than those treasures. Because when others give gifts, they have ulterior motives, but when Chu Xinghe gives gifts, it's from the heart.

Is there anything more precious than a gift from the heart in this world?
