In the eyes of female cultivators, the face retaining pills refined by Yang Chen was an important strategic resource comparable to the hundred year pills and questioning inner heart pills. That’s right, it’s a strategic resource. In the minds of the female cultivators, the face retaining pills were so important.
Who doesn’t love a youthful glow? Who wants to let their skin look old and rotten? As long as you’re a woman, you care about your looks. In terms of profit alone, the profit rate of the face retaining pills was far higher than that of the questioning inner heart pills and hundred year pills.
The Ten thousand treasure building’s face retaining pills auction has always been a major event for the disciples of the Green Jade Immortal Island. Every time the auction comes, as long as there is no way to rush back, almost all the disciples who are qualified to participate will join, the competition was fierce.
However, suddenly, the ten thousand treasure building said that the supply was insufficient, and then the auction interval was doubled, but the supply of the face retaining pills was reduced by half, the supply was reduced by three-quarters in the auction, it made these female cultivators go crazy.
If all the sects were dealt with like this, then that’s all, there would be no problem, but except for the Green Jade Immortal Island, the supply of the ten thousand treasure building in other places has been normal and has not changed at all, which makes people have to suspect that the ten thousand treasure building was deliberately targeting the Green Jade Immortal Island.
It happens that the real owner of the ten thousand treasure building, Yang Chen, was in the Green Jade Immortal Island, enjoying the grand reception of the Green Jade Immortal Island. Could it be that something annoyed Yang Chen and made him make such a decision?
Immediately, someone reported the news to the Island master and several core elders, asking them to intervene. The Island Master would naturally not pay attention to such trivial matters normally. The face retaining pills that Yang Chen gave her back then had the best effect. In the mortal world, she didn’t have to worry about her appearance changing at all. Of course, the same is true for several core elders, the ones who really care are the female elders below them.
To be honest, the face retaining pills were only aimed at female cultivators who love beauty, the effect was nothing but lingering. It can neither improve one’s state of mind, like the questioning inner heart pills, nor directly improve spiritual power like the hundred year pills. For the sect, it was just an expensive consumable, and it was not an indispensable thing for the sect’s development.
But things need to be considered from more aspects. Today, the ten thousand treasure building can reduce the number of face retaining pills in the Green Jade Immortal Island. Wouldn’t they be able to reduce the questioning inner heart pills and hundred year pills tomorrow?
This was a big deal, and they must not wait until then to think of a remedy. If there is any problem now, it must be solved immediately. Otherwise, if they wait for the other sects to surpass the Green Jade Immortal Island in a big way, they couldn’t blame anyone.
From the establishment of the cooperation with the Pure Yang Palace to the present, the strength of the Pure Yang Palace has greatly increased, but relatively speaking, the strength of the Green Jade Immortal Island and Blue Cloud Sect has increased even more. From a proportional point of view, the Pure Yang Palace has grown a lot, but in terms of pure development, the benefits of the Green Jade Immortal Island and Blue Cloud Sect are much greater than that of the Pure Yang Palace.
It was precisely because of the partnership with the Pure Yang Palace that the strength of the Green Jade Immortal Island and Blue Cloud Sect has now steadily surpassed that of the Five Elements Sect and Qiankun Sect and was near the Greatest Heaven Sect. If it weren’t for this, the three major sects would not have rushed to force a few beauties around Yang Chen.
The key was still Yang Chen, was it because Shi Shanshan wasn’t there that he was dissatisfied? No one at the top knows, but if they have to ask Yang Chen directly like this, it might be embarrassing to say that you have to investigate for yourself what happened.
They started with the cooperation with the Pure Yang Palace first. After checking, no problems were found. Everyone unanimously followed the long-term cooperation agreement, basically nothing happened, and the cooperation was normal.
Since it wasn’t a problem with the sect partnership, it was Shi Shanshan. Then, everything that happened since Shi Shanshan returned to the sect was placed in front of the Island Master and the core elders.
Shi Shanshan’s life was very regular. After returning, she has been busy with sect tasks, and it seems that everything was normal. But soon the elders discovered something unusual. These sect missions performed by Shi Shanshan were all extremely dangerous missions, and there were even a few missions that could only be completed by Dacheng stage masters, which were even recorded in Shi Shanshan’s missions.
If that’s the case, it’s easy to explain, after all, Shi Shanshan was a master who can compete with Elder Min Huafeng in the Dacheng stage, and it was natural to perform difficult tasks. But referring to the records of the sect resources that Shi Shanshan received, it seemed a little unusual.
According to the usual habits of the disciples of the Green Jade Immortal Island, every month they can receive monthly resources from the sect for cultivation. Even if the disciple herself is not there, her servants will receive it on time every month. This is the case for almost everyone, even the Island master.
But Shi Shanshan’s receipt records show that from the time Shi Shanshan left the sect after training from the Demon Continent, it was normal at first, and then the resources allocated became less and less, until Shi Shanshan returned to the sect before returning to normal.
Everyone understands that people are warm and cold. At that time, they thought that Shi Shanshan had been destroyed, so the deduction in this regard was normal, but after returning, the sect still doubled everything owed to Shi Shanshan, which should be no problem.
But the receipt record shows that Shi Shanshan never received it herself, only her servant received it. And not once a month like everyone else, but once a year. Even so, it is not always possible to receive the full amount, which explains the problem.
Why did Yang Chen detain the face retaining pills? Because Shi Shanshan’s due share was deducted, and it was also greatly delayed.
“Who is in charge of material distribution?” Before Island Master could ask, Elder Min asked angrily, “Let her get out here immediately!”
Although Shi Shanshan and Elder Min were not on an equal footing, this did not prevent Elder Min from appreciating Shi Shanshan. In particular, Shi Shanshan was still considered to be a major player in her faction, and her own people were bullied like this, how could she take it?
“What happened to Shi Shanshan’s monthly payment, tell me!” The responsible disciple quickly appeared in front of the Island Master and the elders. The Island Master also comforted Elder Min and asked first.
There were so many core elders, and when they asked about this matter, how can the disciple in charge still not know that she was in big trouble. Thinking of the recent situation in the ten thousand treasure building, and thinking about the relationship between Yang Chen, the ten thousand treasure building and Shi Shanshan, there was no need to ask, this was Yang Chen’s counterattack! The fifth-grade alchemy master wants to trouble her, an ordinary disciple of the Green Jade Immortal Island, so what good result does she have?
“This disciple has nothing to do with it!” With a thud, the disciple in charge fell to her knees, almost lost her soul, and exclaimed quickly, “This is all arranged by Elder Liu, this disciple is just doing what the elder ordered!”
