Chen Qing was not too disgusted by the spirit plant elder's plan.
In his previous life, he had worked hard to earn money. It took him decades to pay off the house.
After the money for the house was spent, there was still the money for the car.
After the car was purchased, there was also the bride
Now that Chen Qing had a stable position and three people to order around, he would earn more than 8,000 spirit stones a year.
The elder seemed to be secretly trying to matchmake his granddaughter and Chen Qing.
Thinking of Yu Qingshuang's impressive figure, there was no reason to grit his teeth, and he could live his life with her.
The only problem might be that Chen Qing couldn't defeat Yu Qingshuang now.
He did not know who would be the one wearing the pants at home…
Hiss…
'Chen Qing, oh Chen Qing, you've fallen!
'You're a young talent who's about to reach the Foundation Building realm!'
However, having a dao companion didn't conflict with reaching the Foundation Building realm!
Chen Qing fell asleep amidst all kinds of thoughts.
Three days later, under the roar of a string of firecrackers, many disciples and elders of Carefree Mountain gathered in the courtyard of the spirit plant elder.
Elder Chen and the spirit plant elder were exceptionally happy. The two of them drank until their cheeks were incomparably rosy as they introduced Chen Qing to the other elders, as if Chen Qing was a young talent of their family.
The familiar sound of Ye Yuntian's laughter rang out. Behind him was the core of Carefree Mountain's younger generation. Almost all the cultivators with butterfly transformation Gu insects in Carefree Mountain had arrived.
Chen Qing did not expect the scene to be so big.
Under Ye Yuntian's introduction, Chen Qing began to become familiar with the cultivators who had butterfly transformation Gu insects in Carefree Mountain.
The five people in the Hall of War Affairs all had Sword Butterflies. They were Ye Yuntian, He Ming, Shen Ao, Guo Feng, and Ke Yuhao.
Shen Ao was an orphan. He was discovered by the mountain lord and brought back with him. He especially revered Ye Yuntian. His background was somewhat similar to Chen Qing's, so he liked Chen Qing very much.
The other three were descendants of the three elders of the Hall of War Affairs.
Cultivation Hall's hall master, Gongsun Xiu, had a good sword, but his Gu was actually a Wine Gu that had turned into a butterfly.
The vice hall master of the Cultivation Hall, Wu Yi, looked simple and honest. He was drunk all day long, and also had a Wine Butterfly.
The Cultivation Hall needed a large amount of spirit ginseng to brew ginseng wine. After hearing that Chen Qing was able to manage the spirit ginseng, Wu Yi especially favored Chen Qing.
Beast Mount Hall's vice hall master, He
The Beast Mount Hall's hall master, Ju Xiu, had a Tiger Gu that had transformed into a butterfly. She was a very feisty senior sister, and her figure was slightly inferior to Yu Qingshuang's.
The hall master of the Shadow Hall, Feng Qi, had a Wind Gu that had transformed into a butterfly. He was dressed in black, and was rather solemn. He did not speak much, but it was obvious that he had a good relationship with Ye Yuntian. As for the others, he was very cold.
As for the other two hall masters of the Shadow Hall, the invitees heard from Feng Qi that they were on a mission, and couldn't come.
Feng Qi apologized to Chen Qing solemnly. Chen Qing smiled, and said that the mission was important.
Shadow Hall usually patrolled the vicinity of the sect. It was normal that they could not come.
There were a total of 12 hall masters and vice hall masters, and they were the core strength of Carefree Mountain's younger generation.
Now, they had to add Chen Qing to their circle.
Other than these people, Carefree Mountain had another disciple who had a butterfly Gu insect, Xiao Zhong.
After Ye Yuntian introduced everyone to Chen Qing, he shrugged, and said smilingly, "Today is my Junior Brother Chen's big day. Other than Junior Brother Feng and Junior Sister
After Ye Yuntian finished speaking, these hall masters did not care. They all knew whom Ye Yuntian was talking about.
He was talking about Xiao Zhong!
After a while, Chen Qing finally saw Xiao Zhong enter with a few Carefree Mountain disciples. "Congratulations to Junior Brother Chen on turning your Gu insect into a butterfly. I have specially prepared a small gift!"
Chen Qing went over to welcome him. "I still have to thank you, Senior Brother, for your guidance that day! I should be the one thanking you."
Xiao Zhong smiled, and said, "Junior Brother, you're being too serious. This is your good luck. I was just giving you some pointers."
Actually, everyone who came knew that Chen Qing's Gu insect leveled up naturally, and it did not have much to do with Xiao Zhong's guidance.
However, nobody could make a fuss on the day of celebration. They all had smiles on their faces, but no one knew what they were thinking.
Other than the hall masters of the various halls, there were also many members of the various halls who had come. The ones who attended in the highest numbers were naturally the disciples of the spirit plant hall. All of them were here.
The position of the hall master of the spirit plant hall had been vacant for a long time. Now that Chen Qing had ascended to the position of vice hall master, he was practically no different from a hall master. Naturally, they had to come and pay their respects.
The banquet started with two pots of iris ginseng wine on each table, showing off the status of the newly promoted vice hall master.
This wine was 30 years old. Who knows if Xiao Zhong got drunk or something, but he actually said in public, "Although Junior Brother has the Grass Spirit Gu that can transform into a butterfly, it's a pity that your cultivation level is too low. You have to cultivate seriously. Otherwise—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Yuntian walked up to him, and shouted overbearingly, "Otherwise you what?"
Xiao Zhong gently pushed Ye Yuntian away. "I won't do anything. Seeing Junior Brother Chen's Gu insect turn into a butterfly, I can't be happier.
"It's just that there are many evil cultivators. Junior Brother Chen, it's better not to go down the mountain."
Ye Yuntian shouted coldly, "Junior Brother Chen has the protection of the Hall of War Affairs. You don't have to worry!"
Xiao Zhong snorted coldly. "The sword is in your hands, so you naturally have the final say in everything."
Ye Yuntian's breathing started to quicken. He was clearly angry.
Xiao Zhong was clearly implying that Chen Qing was only at the third level of Qi Refining, so they could order him around with ease!
The atmosphere became increasingly tense, but the elders and mountain lord's table in the room remained calm.
Chen Qing wanted to go up and mediate, but Feng Qi pressed his shoulder and signaled him not to move.
Ye Yuntian turned around, and asked, "Junior Brother Feng, I heard that you found traces of the Sword Gu in the Sword Deep recently. Is that true?"
Feng Qi said seriously, "Indeed."
Ye Yuntian said, "I will wait for the juniors to finish exploring the matter of the Sword Gu. Then, I will bring the Hall of War Affairs to personally capture it.
"Coincidentally, I came in a hurry, and didn't bring a congratulatory gift. I'll give this Sword Gu to Junior Brother Chen as a congratulatory gift for today!
"Senior Brother Xiao, what do you think?"
Chen Qing almost wanted to thank Xiao Zhong directly. Senior Brother Xiao was an honest person!
If not for him, how could he have obtained such a precious gift like Sword Gu for no reason!
This was a Gu worth more than 10,000 spirit stones!
If it was at a gathering, it would be 16,000 spirit stones!
Xiao Zhong said, "Junior Brother Ye is generous."
After the meal, Xiao Zhong left.
The other hall masters and vice hall masters did not leave. They were prepared to play here until night fell.
When Ye Yuntian left, he pulled Chen Qing over, and put his arm around Chen Qing's shoulder. He whispered in his ear, "I heard that there's news about your yearly provision. It's probably going to be 8,400 spirit stones. You can bring it up when you become a hall master in the future."
After saying that, Ye Yuntian laughed and disappeared into the night with the other hall masters.
Chen Qing stood in the night and opened his hand. The Grass Spirit Butterfly slowly spread its wings in his hand.
Next, he had to wait for the Sword Gu to arrive. There was no need to use all the spirit stones now to upgrade the Grass Spirit Butterfly.
After all, the provisions in the sect were fixed, and the position of hall master was probably not something that could be obtained in these few years.
He had to find a Wine Gu next.
This way, he would not have to buy spirit wine to cultivate. He could also secretly sell the leftover spirit wine.
Chen Qing turned around, and saw Wang Ye, Li He, and Zhou Ke waiting for him nervously.
