Chapter 481 Conspiracy
The office of the alliance headquarters is located in a towering stone palace, surrounded by powerful defensive formations. There is a constant stream of monks coming in and out, and the atmosphere seems a bit serious and busy.
Ye Changsheng showed his identity token, and the guard monk immediately led him respectfully to a spacious reception room.
Not long after, a middle-aged monk wearing a green Taoist robe and a goatee came in with a formal smile on his face: "So it's Fellow Daoist Ye, I wonder what you are doing here today?"
The deacon is named Sun Gan, who is responsible for handling the daily affairs of the alliance here.
"You are too polite, Steward Sun."
Ye Changsheng returned the greeting by bowing his hands, "I want to apply to the Alliance for a temporary leave for a period of time to return to the family to handle some important matters."
Sun Gan's smile faded slightly when he heard this, and his tone became businesslike: "As a worshiper of the Alliance, Fellow Daoist Ye shoulders heavy responsibilities and cannot easily leave his post. I wonder how long Fellow Daoist Ye will take leave? What is the matter?"
Ye Changsheng was well prepared and explained: "It is related to the foundation of the family, so I have to go back. Preliminary estimates show that it will take half a year."
Sun Gan frowned slightly, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, as if weighing the pros and cons.
After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Ye Changsheng sharply: "Fellow Daoist Ye's Dao Court cultivation has reached the fourth level. According to the regulations of the Alliance, ten merit points will be deducted for one day of leave. Half a year is... one hundred and eighty days, and a total of one thousand eight hundred merit points will be deducted. Are you sure you want to take leave?"
Hearing this number, Ye Changsheng's heart trembled, and he secretly thought that the Alliance was indeed not a charity organization.
1,800 merit points are almost astronomical figures for ordinary cultivators, and even for a fourth-level Dao Court cultivator like him, it is by no means a small number.
These merit points were accumulated by him through hard work to complete the alliance mission, but now he has to consume them to go home.
He took a deep breath and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Sure."
Seeing Ye Changsheng so decisive, Sun Gan did not say anything more, but solemnly confirmed again: "Daoyou Ye, you must think carefully. 1,800 merit points are enough to exchange for a lot of precious cultivation resources."
"Thank you for the reminder, Deacon, I have made up my mind."
Ye Changsheng's tone was calm, but there was a trace of imperceptible urgency in his eyes.
Sun Gan nodded, took out a jade card, and handed it to Ye Changsheng: "This is the alliance's leave certificate, Daoyou Ye, keep it. After the merit points are deducted, your authority will be temporarily restricted, and you are not allowed to accept alliance tasks during the leave."
Ye Changsheng took the jade card, took out his own merit card, and handed it to Sun Gan.
Sun Gan took the merit card and injected spiritual power into it. A flash of light flashed, and Ye Changsheng's merit points instantly decreased by 1,800 points.
Looking at the sharply reduced number on the merit card, Ye Changsheng felt a little pain in his heart.
After completing the leave application procedures, Ye Changsheng did not stay at the alliance headquarters for long, and directly returned to the Ye family's temporary residence in the alliance station.
He gathered the nine wives together and told them the news of his upcoming departure with a serious look.
"My husband is leaving?"
The wives all looked worried when they heard this.
Ye Changsheng comforted them, "Don't worry, I'm just going back to the family to deal with some things, and I will be back soon. During the time I'm away, all the affairs of the family will be decided by the nine of you. If there are major matters, you can brainstorm and don't have to wait for me to come back for everything."
He swept his eyes over the wives, and his tone was solemn: "You are all Daoting realm cultivators with good strength. I believe you can handle all the affairs of the family."
The wives felt Ye Changsheng's trust and nodded in response.
They knew the pressure on Ye Changsheng's shoulders and understood that there must be an important reason for his trip.
In order to ensure the safety of the tribe, Ye Changsheng kept the 28 fourth-level Dao Court Fire Crows that had been following him, and told them to obey the orders of the nine ladies and protect the safety of the tribe.
These fire crows are powerful enough to deter the villains.
After arranging everything, Ye Changsheng did not delay and sacrificed a streamlined fourth-level flying boat.
The surface of the flying boat was engraved with mysterious runes, emitting a faint spiritual light.
He jumped onto the flying boat and injected spiritual power. The flying boat suddenly turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the direction of the Great Zhao Xiuxian Realm.
The speed of the flying boat was extremely fast, like an arrow from a string, cutting through the sky, leaving a long white track.
Ye Changsheng stood on the flying boat, looking at the scenery in the distance, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
After three months of long journey, the flying boat finally arrived at the Great Zhao Xiuxian Realm, Qingzhu Mountain Range.
Familiar mountains and rivers came into view, and Ye Changsheng felt a long-lost sense of intimacy.
He put away the flying boat, without disturbing anyone, and quietly returned to the Qingzhu Ye family.
The Ye family at this time was more prosperous and more spiritual than when he left.
He first found several elders who stayed in the family and asked about the family's recent situation.
He was relieved to know that everything was fine and the clan members were working hard to practice.
He did not disturb his mother and grandfather who were in retreat, knowing that they were at a critical moment of practice and should not be disturbed.
Ye Changsheng came alone to the depths of Qinghu Peak, an area covered by heavy restrictions.
This is Ye Changsheng's retreat place, the forbidden area of the Ye family, and the entrance to the Heavenly Palace.
He skillfully untied the restrictions one by one, and finally came to an ancient altar.
The altar is made of unknown blue boulders. Its surface is covered with traces of time and carved with ancient and mysterious patterns.
A vicissitudes of life and a heavy atmosphere hit the face, making people feel awe.
Ye Changsheng took a deep breath and slowly walked up to the altar and arrived at the Heavenly Palace.
Looking around, pavilions with different styles are suspended in mid-air, connected to each other by colorful rainbow bridges, just like a fairyland.
Ye Changsheng took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart.
This is not the first time he has entered the Heavenly Palace, but every time he comes, he will be shocked by the magical scene here.
He walked towards the depths of the Heavenly Palace in a familiar manner.
Each level of the Heavenly Palace corresponds to different levels of treasures and resources.
His target is the fifth-level monster luring grass, so he naturally has to go to the fourth-to-last floor, where the fifth-level treasures gather.
Ye Changsheng walked into the first store and was greeted by a kind-faced old man.
"Fellow Taoist, what kind of spiritual herbs do you need?"
The old man asked with a smile.
"I would like to buy a fifth-level demon-luring grass. Is it available in your store?"
Ye Changsheng asked straight to the point.
Hearing this, the old man stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and said: "Fifth-level demon luring grass... This kind of spiritual grass is relatively rare. Our store does not have it in stock at the moment, but fellow Taoists can leave their contact information if there is a supply. , I will notify you as soon as possible.”
