348 What Kind of Sect Is This?

The endless mountain range was like a sleeping ancient dragon, sitting in the mountains. As far as the eye could see, it was verdant green, like a high-quality jade inlaid under the sky.

In the depths of the mountains, a majestic building rose from the ground, surrounded by clouds and fog. It was a peaceful scene. This was the Tai Qing Sect, which was originally just an ordinary sect.

However, after Ye Xuan’s transformation of the place, coupled with the things he brought from Jingdu, it had become a place full of spirit and beauty.

At the entrance, more than a dozen spiritual beasts were lazily lying under the sun. Occasionally, they would turn over to reveal their white bellies or stretch lazily. They looked like they had lived in peace for many years.

Occasionally, when a female disciple passed by and saw them, she would call them cute and feed them with spiritual fruits and the like. After eating and drinking to their fill, the spiritual beasts would continue to sleep.

If Ye Xuan saw the scene in front of him, he would definitely have complicated feelings.

Because these spiritual beasts were none other than the once-famous Penglai Immortal Beasts. At this moment, they had already retired in advance at the Tai Qing Sect. In order to keep a low profile, they all hid their own spiritual powers and transformed into ordinary spiritual beasts.

As a result, most of the disciples didn’t know the Penglai Immortal Beasts’ cultivation and thought that they were simply ordinary demonic beasts. Furthermore, Ye Xuan had asked the sect to bring the spiritual beasts back and take good care of them. Thus, the spiritual beasts became the mascot of the Tai Qing Sect.

Some disciples could not help but complain, “We can’t even live as well as an ordinary spiritual beast. They don’t have to do anything and they can even eat top-quality spiritual fruits.”

He didn’t know if it was his illusion, but after saying this, one of the demonic beasts raised its eyelids, and there was actually some disdain in its eyes.

“They were brought back by Elder Ye after all. Elder Ye is rich and generous, you can’t compare to these spiritual beasts.”

Their tone was sour, and their eyes were filled with envy and jealousy. They wished they could turn into those spiritual beasts, but no one said anything.

Now, the entire Tai Qing Sect was relying on Ye Xuan. He was strong enough to feed hundreds of them for free, let alone a dozen.

The sect’s resources were also extremely abundant, and even the steps were paved with top-quality white jade. They were not inferior to the sects of Jingdu, and these spiritual beasts could be considered mascots of the sect.

At this moment, these disciples still didn’t know that the weak mascots in their eyes were actually legendary ancient divine beasts. It was the kind that could crush these disciples to death with a single claw.

“Elder Ye has sent news!”

“Did Elder Ye say when he would be back?”

The people of the Tai Qing Sect could be said to be looking forward to and waiting for Ye Xuan’s return. Even the Penglai Immortal Beasts who were sunbathing at the door subconsciously pricked up their ears.

“Elder Ye said that he is going to Valley of Medicine Masters to take care of some business. He will come back after that. He also said that he wanted us to take care of someone.”

The elders looked at the contents of the message. It briefly described Xiao Mingyan’s experience, but it didn’t mention anything about the Root Bone of Chaos. They thought that Ye Xuan’s sympathy was overflowing again.

“It doesn’t matter. Now that the Tai Qing Sect is big and doing well, it’s just a matter of feeding another mouth.”

“Elder Ye’s heart is too soft. Previously, it was the spiritual beasts, and now it’s a human. Do you think there will be more in the future?”

“But this kid’s experience is a little too miserable. His bones were dug out by his blood relatives, he was poisoned, and finally, he was chased out of the house.”

Everyone thought that the person who was about to arrive was a pitiful one, and with Ye Xuan’s instructions, when Xiao Mingyan arrived at the Tai Qing Sect, he was warmly welcomed by a group of elders, which made him confused.

After the Xiao clan’s incident, Xiao Mingyan had already raised a high level of defense in his heart. He was still a little unaccustomed to the crowd’s goodwill. Even if he had a cold expression on his face, it did not reduce the enthusiasm of the others in the Tai Qing Sect.

The Penglai Immortal Beasts looked at Xiao Mingyan, who was surrounded by the crowd, and actually felt an ancient aura from him.

“This kid is not simple. He has the chaos aura on him. This group of people from the Tai Qing Sect can’t see it.”

“These people can’t even see through our disguises. Don’t expect anything of them.”

“He must have suffered a very serious injury before. It seems that he received help from Ye Xuan, so he came here.”

“Ye Xuan didn’t just pick us up, he also picked up a person.”

The Penglai Immortal Beasts were conversing in the sea of divine senses, chirping noisily.

After Xiao Mingyan had settled down, he began to tour the Tai Qing Sect. His gaze fell on the spiritual beasts basking in the sun at the entrance. In fact, he had noticed them from the beginning.

The disciple beside him noticed his gaze and explained, “These spiritual beasts were also brought over by Elder Ye. They don’t have much cultivation or strength, but they look pretty good. If you want a spiritual beast, you can go to the beast garden to take a look. There are a few good ones there.”

“Thank you,” Xiao Mingyan nodded.

Ye Xuan’s sect was completely different from what he had imagined. Xiao Mingyan had originally thought that it was a powerful and hidden sect. Otherwise, how could it have cultivated a peerless expert like Ye Xuan? He even thought that there were many experts here, but in fact, it was not the case.

Although he had only been at the Tai Qing Sect for a short time, he had already discovered that most of the disciples and elders were not very strong. However, this sect had extremely abundant resources, and its foundation was even comparable to that of the big sects in Jingdu.

After asking, he found out that this was all Ye Xuan’s doing.

And here, he always felt that there were several powerful auras that were faintly discernible. He didn’t know where they came from, and it was by chance that he discovered those auras actually came from the spiritual beasts basking in the sun at the door.

In the end, Xiao Mingyan went to ask the other disciples, and they all said that those spiritual beasts were just mascots and didn’t have much strength.

What kind of sect was this?

Thinking of how low profile Ye Xuan was, could it be that they were all pretending to be weak?

Not only did Xiao Mingyan find it strange, but even the Tai Qing Sect also realized that Xiao Mingyan was not a pitiful person. They also realized that he was not that simple, but this was a story for another time.
