At this moment, Yan Fei and Jie Qingxia returned from outside. The sudden appearance of four more women in the room made them pause, then they joined the alliance. Several women could form two tables for Mahjong.
Ming Zhi Tian was sitting on the sofa watching TV. Yan Li Xue walked towards him, rubbing her fingers. "We're going shopping. Husband, are you coming?"
Accompanying women shopping would exhaust even a dog. Ming Zhi Tian shook his head and replied playfully, "Xue'er wife, are you already managing money so early?"
Yan Li Xue pouted. "It's none of your business. Are you giving it or not?"
The best way for women to vent was to spend a man's money. Ming Zhi Tian gave her more than half of his fortune, which amounted to eighteen million.
Yan Li Xue took the ten million and then went shopping with the other six women. "Sisters, let's all get to work, handbags are waving at us!"
Jie Qingxia said, "Sister Xue'er, I've caught a bit of a cold lately."
Yan Li Xue jiggled the storage bag in her hand. "What's a little cold? Bags cure all ailments!"
"..."
Tian Nan Jie from the Five Peaks Sect sent a message: "Little Brother Ming, I've finally found you."
Ming Zhi Tian smiled slightly. "My apologies, I didn't inform you."
Tian Nan Jie looked at Ming Zhi Tian with disbelief. "You... what realm are you?"
Ming Zhi Tian said, "First level of the Fengshen Realm." (Quanshu Pavilion)
"!"
Tian Nan Jie exclaimed, "The Grand Sect Master is only at the ninth level of Yin Shang. You've become so powerful in just over a year? Congratulations."
Ming Zhi Tian replied, "You flatter me. It's just good luck."
Tian Nan Jie said, "I came to find you about Gu Hong Chang."
Ming Zhi Tian asked, "Gu Hong Chang? What is that?"
Tian Nan Jie explained, "It's the trial competition of the Four Directions Sects. Gu Hong Chang in the cultivation world contains many refining materials. I'd like to ask for your help to bring some out. The Demonic Sect has been restless lately. The materials I obtain are used to strengthen the sect's power."
Ming Zhi Tian couldn't help but ask, "The Demonic Sect? Are they very strong?"
Tian Nan Jie became serious. "They are unusually strong. For tens of thousands of years, the Demonic Sect disappeared. Recently, Wan Li Sen Mu discovered their traces. The Four Directions Grand Sect Masters convened a meeting and decided to form an alliance to go to Gu Hong Chang to collect materials for artifacts, spiritual materials, and various equipment."
"However..."
Ming Zhi Tian asked, "However what?"
Tian Nan Jie sighed. "Once we enter Gu Hong Chang, everyone's cultivation will be suppressed due to the influence of the domain. Therefore, those above the Sect Master level will not enter. Only those at the Sect Master level and below will participate. Of course, you can refuse to go, and I'll find another way."
Ming Zhi Tian asked, "To what level will our cultivation be suppressed?"
Tian Nan Jie replied, "Everyone's cultivation will be uniformly suppressed to the first level of the Alchemy Realm."
"Alchemy Realm, first level?"
This was a blessing for the younger generation, but for a great figure like Ming Zhi Tian, it was undoubtedly a constraint and a burden. It would be a loss to go for some insignificant materials.
Naturally, no powerful expert would dare to take the risk. If they were accidentally killed inside, and by a junior no less, their lifelong reputation would be ruined.
Ming Zhi Tian couldn't help but ask, "Since there are costs, there must be rewards. Are there all sorts of materials inside?"
Tian Nan Jie nodded. "Yes, there are. Gu Hong Chang, in essence, is a divine blessing. Inside, besides equipment inherited from ancient gods, there are also the decomposed corpses of great immortals and even powerful beings, whose nutrients have nurtured countless heavenly spiritual treasures."
"Anything that doesn't exist in the cultivation world is inside. Of course, the deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes. My advice is, once you go in, try to go deep and come out shallow. Don't take risks."
Ming Zhi Tian suddenly thought of something. "Are there any mechanisms or equipment?"
"...!"
Tian Nan Jie glanced at Ming Zhi Tian more intently. "Do you know some mechanism masters? Yes, there are. I once heard someone mention obtaining some mechanism parts but couldn't find a mechanism master and casually discarded them."
Ming Zhi Tian clicked his tongue. "Such a waste."
