Chapter 7: 007: Aunt Nan Gong?

Nan Gong Li has come again, the reason being that there is nothing to do.

Although she is the elder of the outer sect, there are basically no major matters in the outer sect.

Her true self is in seclusion, preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage. However, the power of this External Incarnation has not been completely consumed, so she has become idle.

She went around the outer sect, guiding a few Gold Core elders, and inexplicably ended up at the foot of the mountain.

Miss Qiu has already said that she wants Chu Changge to develop on his own, so she came this time to take another look under the bed in the thatched hut at the insights into the Heavenly Dao written by this little guy who is suspected to be the Son of Heaven.

Yes, those few sentences are insights into the Heavenly Dao.

Otherwise, why would Nan Gong Li be able to enter the state of enlightenment?

Stepping lightly, the black skirt fluttered and fell at the door of the thatched hut, and then Elder Nan Gong saw a scene that left her speechless.

"78, 79, 8081, 82"

Chu Changge, the Son of Heaven, was sitting on the ground, counting spirit stones one by one.

Just low-grade spirit stones, it takes a thousand pieces to exchange for one middle-grade spirit stone. Is it worth it to count them as if they were broken into two pieces?

At the same time, Chu Bai, who was seriously doing arithmetic, felt something and looked up.

Their eyes met: "!!!"

Nan Gong Li, who was in stealth mode, shouldn't have been seen by anyone. This is not right.

The thatched hut has now merged with the Innate Cave Mansion, so how could someone touch the door without Chu Bai's knowledge? This is very wrong.

"What the f*ck!"

Chu Bai quickly packed up the spirit stones and stuffed them under the bed.

But the thought of the other party being the Son of Heaven quickly suppressed Nan Gong Li's idea of not being discovered.

After all, she is over three thousand years old and is an elder above ten thousand people. She then took a step forward and asked calmly, "Chu Changge, what are you doing?"

"Nothing, senior, please wait a moment!"

Hurry up and tidy up, desperately tidy up. Chu Bai's anxious and flustered appearance was quite funny.

Nan Gong Li found it very amusing. With a wave of her long sleeves, more than a hundred low-grade spirit stones turned back like a reversed scene and neatly arranged on a table not far away.

It's over!

Chu Bai's path to getting rich is going to be cut off!

Because the black-clothed woman on the opposite side was able to silently approach, Chu Bai called her senior.

This senior was dressed in a black robe, female, with a good figure, and most of her face was covered by a light veil, making it unclear. Her voice was crisp but somewhat stern.

She shouldn't be here to kill Chu Bai.

With Chu Bai's strength and status, when an elder arrives, there is no need to waste words with oneself.

Thinking of this, Chu Bai bowed, "Disciple Chu Bai pays respects to the elder!"

The first meeting between an inner sect disciple and an outer sect elder should not be like this.

Being caught by an elder and still able to regain composure in a short period of time, this mentality is not bad.

Nan Gong Li nodded slightly and sat down on a bamboo stool beside the spirit stone wooden table.

"Chu Changge, do you know your crime?"

The tone of Elder Nan Gong became even more severe, and her phoenix eyes stared straight at Chu Bai.

Chu Bai didn't move, and then replied, "Disciple doesn't know."

"Don't know? Then where did these spirit stones come from?"

The tone was even more severe, full of oppression.

Chu Bai said, "These spirit stones are what the disciple has saved by living frugally, and secondly, these."

After speaking, he took off the old storage bag from his waist, untied the opening, and poured out the pieces of branches, leaves, and petals that looked bad or were damaged.

"Taking care of the medicinal field outside the house is the disciple's responsibility, and I never forget it. The sect teaches disciples not to forget their original intentions and to cherish every bit of cultivation resources."

I guess the sect arranged for me to be here in order to teach me how to cherish. These leftover leaves may not be suitable for storage, but they can be useful for some cultivators who have just entered the Alchemy Dao. It took me several months to understand the meaning behind them."

Nangong Li: "And then you sell them?"

Chu Bai: "As an inner disciple, I only receive a monthly salary of 10 spirit stones. Isn't the intention of the Dao Sect for me to find the remaining part myself?"

It's common to get wet shoes when walking by the river. Chu Bai has been preparing for this explanation since three months ago.

There is a sense of forcing logic and also a bit of self-pity.

That's right, as an inner disciple, Chu Bai can only receive 10 Low Grade spirit stones per month.

Although the medicine field he is responsible for is small, the Spirit Medicine produced each year requires at least Middle Grade spirit stones to measure and calculate.

Despite this, he still only receives 10 Low Grade spirit stones per month. Is it wrong for him to find ways to earn some extra money?

Moreover, the withered branches and leaves poured out from the storage bag are indeed trash that the sect does not value.

It's like picking up something that others don't want and exchanging it for some pocket money, nothing special.

There is no rule in the sect that says you can't pick up trash in exchange for spirit stones.

Hehe.

After listening to Chu Bai's explanation, Nangong Li slightly curved her mouth.

As someone who has been through it, she understands that what Chu Bai said is a one-sided logic.

Indeed, when it comes to it, everything within the three thousand miles of the Azure Cloud Mountain Range belongs to the sect. If a disciple wants to touch it, they must first obtain the sect's permission.

And then, without spirit stones, one cannot undertake sect missions, and there are also many private tasks within the sect.

Chu Bai has no tasks because of his identity as an inner disciple and his weak strength. This is his own problem and has nothing to do with the loopholes in the sect rules.

But it's really pitiful for the son of the Heavenly Dao to pick up trash.

Nangong Li looked at the torn storage bag in Chu Bai's hand, which had been through many hands, and felt even more shabby.

"Miss is not wrong, but we can't completely ignore this child."

"This child has a good mentality, but his potential surpasses others. If he can't bear it and leaves the sect in anger, the strongest genius of our Azure Cloud Sect will become the strongest genius of another sect or country."

Nangong Li has already noticed that in just a few days, Chu Bai's cultivation has broken through from the third layer of Qi Refining to the fourth layer of Qi Refining, even under the condition of damage to the Spirit Vein. If she didn't know the other party's identity, Nangong Li would definitely send someone to investigate whether this person has any connection with the Demon Sect.

Great luck, great perseverance, and the favor of the vast Heavenly Dao.

For the sake of the sect, Elder Nangong must protect him.

As her thoughts turned,

In reality, only a moment had passed.

Nangong Li suddenly sighed and slowly said, "My surname is Nang, and your mother used to be my good friend. I didn't expect that when I closed my door this time, both your parents were already gone."

Chu Bai: ????

Mother... good friend...

Chu Bai doesn't remember knowing the person in front of him.

But for a Gold Core stage cultivator, it's not strange to close the door for several decades, while Chu Bai is only sixteen years old.

Then, he raised his head and shouted, "Auntie?"

This time, Nangong Li was full of question marks.

Although it's not wrong to call a friend of one's mother "auntie," what's the point of climbing up the pole?

Seeing that she didn't object, Chu Bai, who was trembling just a second ago, sat down on another stool.

"You scared me. I thought it was an elder from the Law Enforcement Hall coming to find me."

Within the Azure Cloud Sect's inner sect, the peaks are divided by mountains, like the Medicine Peak where Senior Sister Xiao joined, and the Sword Peak with the strongest killing power.

Only the Law Enforcement Hall does not belong to any peak.

The Law Enforcement Hall is directly managed by the Sect Master. Whoever commits a crime will be dealt with by the Law Enforcement Hall. If there is an internal issue within the Law Enforcement Hall, the Sect Master will personally handle it.

But Nangong Li said, "How do you know that I am not an elder from the Law Enforcement Hall?"
