Chapter 15: A blockbuster (Part )
At the end of the bluestone path, Ding Hai stared at the cave where Qinghai Zhenren lived, his shock beyond words.

This cave is even simpler than the courtyard where he lives, and it is even difficult to describe it as "simple".

The only word that can accurately describe the scene before us is "simple".

This was just a cave carved out of the mountain wall. There was nothing else in the cave except a cushion.

He originally thought that even if the place where Qinghai Zhenren lived was not gorgeous, it should at least be solemn and elegant.

However, the truth is quite different.

Is Qinghai Zhenren practicing hard?
Although he was full of doubts, Ding Hai did not forget the purpose of this trip.

He bowed to the Qinghai Master who had noticed him, and then loudly expressed his request: "Master, Master, your disciple Feiyu wants to see you for something."

"Fei Yu? If I remember correctly, you should be Ding Hai, the eldest disciple of Junior Brother Qing Yun.

Feiyu, is this the name that Junior Brother Qingyun gave you when you entered Taoism?"

On weekdays, Qinghai was either practicing hard or handling sect affairs. He remembered Ding Hai, but he really didn't remember the Taoist name that Ding Hai was listed in the sect's roster.

"Yes, my master has high expectations of me, and I feel deeply honored."

After the greetings, Ding Hai explained his purpose: "I have been consuming a lot of resources in my recent training and I always feel that the resources are not enough.

This time, I came here to ask the headmaster to be flexible and allow me to withdraw next year's cultivation resources in advance."

"After this withdrawal is completed, I promise that I will not seek cultivation resources from the sect for any reason next year." After stating the request, Ding Hai also gave the guarantee.

Standing on the bluestone path, Ding Hai's voice echoed in the quiet valley.

After listening to Ding Hai's request, Qinghai Zhenren looked at Ding Hai with a cold gaze.

"Ding Hai, do you know that withdrawing resources in advance is against the sect's rules?" Qinghai Zhenren said slowly, his voice steady.

Upon hearing this, Ding Hai's heart tightened, but he still insisted: "Disciple knows, but disciple is confident that after obtaining next year's resources in advance, he will be able to make a major breakthrough in the Tao."

In response to Qinghai Zhenren's inquiries, Ding Hai did not emphasize his own needs, nor did he mention that the resources he sought would be distributed to him sooner or later, and that he was just spending money he had earned in the future.

He said frankly that with these resources, he would become more powerful.

The reason why the sect made him one of the Five Heroes was because they valued his strength and wanted him to defeat the geniuses of the other three families of the Three Mountains Talismans in the future and win honor for Maoshan.

After hearing this, a hint of admiration flashed in Qinghai Zhenren's eyes.

Few people can recognize their own value, but Ding Hai not only recognizes it, but can also judge the sect's tolerance for him based on it.

He is a wise man, not bad.

However, the rules set by the sect have their own meaning, and behind every seemingly outrageous rule there is an even more outrageous story.

Therefore, Qinghai Zhenren shook his head and rejected Ding Hai: "The sect's rules are strict, and you are not worthy of me making an exception at this moment."

Seeing that Qinghai Zhenren rejected him, Ding Hai was a little disappointed, but he could accept it.

After all, before coming here, he had already prepared himself for the possibility of returning empty-handed.

After bowing to Qinghai Zhenren again, Ding Hai turned and left.

Since he couldn't obtain a large amount of cultivation resources from the sect in a short period of time, he decided to change his thinking and look for other ways.

After Ding Hai left, Qinghai Zhenren gently tapped a dead leaf that was falling outside the cave, and the dead leaf immediately emitted a light yellow fluorescence.

After the fluorescence faded, a light pink butterfly appeared in the air. As the autumn wind blew, it spread its wings and flew away.

After a cup of tea, Master Qingsong stood at the place where Ding Hai had been before, holding the pale pink butterfly that was still flapping its wings. "Brother, what is it that you called me here to discuss?"

"Ding Hai previously asked me to advance him one year's worth of cultivation resources, but I refused. This time I invited you here to hear your thoughts." Qinghai Zhenren said bluntly.

True Man Qingsong looked at True Man Qinghai and was extremely speechless.

Since you, the leader, have refused, what can he, the elder, think?
However, as soon as these words were spoken, True Man Qingsong also felt True Man Qinghai's pulse and guessed the reason why Qinghai summoned him.

It was he who proposed the Five Heroes Plan and he was also responsible for the specific progress.

He was also in charge of the observation and testing of these five disciples.

Ding Hai knew best whether there was any hidden secret behind his rash proposal to withdraw resources for the next year.

"Brother, although Ding Hai has not made significant progress in the past year, from what I have observed, he should have other plans.

He never wasted the cultivation resources given to him by the sect, and used them all for his own cultivation. Sometimes when resources were insufficient, he would ask for help from Junior Brother Qingyun. "

Master Qingsong first ruled out the possibility that Ding Hai was taking away cultivation resources for resale.

Upon learning that Ding Hai did not resell the sect's resources, Qinghai Zhenren nodded and said, "Brother, rules are the foundation of the sect and cannot be broken because of one person, so as to avoid causing trouble.

But if he is unable to break through due to lack of resources after practicing to a critical point, it is also a pity. What do you think? "

After hearing this, Master Qingsong fell silent again. They grew up together, so how could he not know what his senior brother meant? He just wanted him to clean up the mess and take the blame.

After a long while, Qingsong Zhenren said expressionlessly, "Brother, you are absolutely right. Rules are the foundation of the sect and cannot be broken because of one person.

I will go back and check the old rules of the sect to see if I can find a way to satisfy Ding Hai's needs without violating the rules. "Although True Man Qingsong rolled his eyes in his heart, he still accepted the task. True Man Qinghai's eyes flashed with admiration, worthy of being a good junior brother who grew up together.

Understand him.

"Since you have made up your mind, I'll leave this matter to you," said Master Qinghai.

Master Qingsong nodded in agreement, then bowed to Master Qinghai and immediately turned around and left.

As for the butterfly that was fluttering its wings, you must have seen it wrong. There was no butterfly at all. It was just a dead leaf that was torn into pieces.

Back in his own yard, Ding Hai stroked his chin with a worried look on his face.

Although he had acted quite tough in front of Qinghai Zhenren just now, he had no idea how to obtain a large amount of cultivation resources from the outside world.

Going back to the old business and earning commissions by slaying demons and monsters is not feasible for the time being.

This is Jiangnan. The reputation he accumulated in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei is useless here.

Without a good reputation to back him up, even if he was a disciple of Mount Mao, the local wealthy people would not easily trust him.

It would be extremely difficult to make 4,000 royal silver dollars in one fell swoop like the Tianjin Water Transport Chamber of Commerce did.

As for imitating the protagonists in novels and stories who cover their faces and rob the rich to help the poor, that is even more wishful thinking.

Maoshan has been operating in the south of the Yangtze River for thousands of years. It has long passed the stage of barbaric development and started a long-term business model. It will never tolerate disciples from the sect to ruin Maoshan's reputation in this area.

Once he dares to rob the rich, believe it or not, before he can help the poor, he will be classified as a heretic by the sect and will be hunted down to death.

When Ding Hai was hesitating whether to leave Maoshan temporarily and go north, his master, Taoist Qingyun, pushed open the wooden door of the courtyard and walked in carrying a large bag.

Seeing Taoist Qingyun pushing the door open, Ding Hai quickly stood up and said, "Master, why are you here?"

Ding Hai was quite surprised because his master had not left the house for more than a year in order to consolidate his cultivation.

Taoist Qingyun smiled and said, "Boss, why didn't you tell me that you were short of cultivation resources?

If the elder on duty from the Internal Affairs Department had not mentioned this to me during our discussion, how long would you have kept it a secret?"

Ding Hai looked embarrassed. Ever since he agreed to his master handing over the evil-slaying lineage to Qianhe, he had separated from Qianhe.

Last year, in order to create a golden finger for himself as soon as possible, he occasionally went to his master to get some training resources, which was already inappropriate.

Asking for it directly would go against the promise he made last year. It would be slapping himself in the face. How could he do such a thing?

Seeing that Ding Hai was silent, Taoist Qingyun said nothing more. He just placed the bundle on the table and gently opened it to reveal the items inside.

Just looking at the number of wake-up scents, it is enough to match Ding Hai’s ten-year share.

"Master, I can't accept these things."

Ding Hai understood his master's intention, but he firmly rejected Qingyun Taoist's kindness.

Because, if he shamelessly accepted this resource, it would be equivalent to plundering the property that Chizuru might inherit in the future.

I wonder which ancestral magic weapon did the master sell to get these resources? Can I return the product within seven days without giving any reason?

How could Taoist Qingyun not know what his disciple, whom he had raised since childhood, was thinking? He stroked his beard and scolded with a smile, "You stinky boy, you have so many thoughts.

Now that the relationship has been determined, how could I risk showing favoritism towards you and causing a rift between you two brothers?

I borrowed these resources from the sect for you with my own reputation and position as an elder, and I will return them many times over in the future."

"Really?" Ding Hai was skeptical.

Seeing this, Taoist Qingyun took out a spiritual contract from his sleeve and showed it to Ding Hai.

The general meaning is: Today, a disciple named Ding Hai has borrowed some cultivation resources from the sect for personal reasons. Disciple Ding Hai promised that after the expiration of the term, he will repay the sect double the cultivation resources, or perform three great merits for the sect to offset this loan.

After handing the spiritual contract to Ding Hai, Taoist Qingyun said with emotion: "Disciple, this is all the Master can do. I hope you can understand."

Looking at the spiritual contract on the table, Ding Hai felt as happy as if he had eaten honey.

It was great that I didn't exploit that bastard Qianhe and I solved the current problem.

As for letting his master act as a guarantee for him, Ding Hai was quite open-minded.

He has confidence in himself. As long as he can get through the current difficulties, it will not be a problem for him to double the resources or accomplish three great merits in the future.

Feeling the kindness of his master, Ding Hai was deeply moved. He immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Taoist master Qingyun to express his gratitude: "Thank you very much for your help, Master. I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Seeing Ding Hai's forehead touching the ground and kowtow three times, Taoist Qingyun's eyes flashed with relief: "Boss, although I don't know why you need so many training resources, I believe you have your own plans.

However, the road to cultivation is full of dangers and obstacles. Simply relying on powerful medicines, strange fragrances and other cultivation resources to build up one's realm will ultimately harm oneself.

There are many temptations on the path of cultivation, you must always be vigilant and not take it lightly. "

Ding Hai nodded solemnly and remembered his master's teachings.

　I ate something unclean yesterday and had diarrhea and fainted. I was on IV drip for half a day this morning and just recovered now. I'll send you one chapter first, and the next chapter will be sent to you tonight.
