So, these ordinary disciples could only blame themselves for being too proactive and refining too much Spiritual Grass. If they continued at their normal pace, they would have finished refining the Spiritual Grass after four years.
By that time, Jin Quanxiu might have just completed his pill refining tasks and have time to meet them. What fate awaited them then, no one could tell.
But now, all hope was lost, and their efforts were futile like pouring water into a bamboo basket.
At this moment, Liang Sheng was not worried at all. In his heart, he couldn’t wait to go to Danyang Outer Peak. By that time, the sky would be wide enough for birds to fly and the sea would be vast enough for fish to leap.
The next day, early in the morning, everyone gathered in the courtyard, and Xiang Chen appeared before them with a smile on his face.
“1 wonder if everyone has made a decision last night? If you are willing to be a field-guarding child, you can now stand on my right.”
These disciples thought about it and exchanged glances with each other, but no one stepped forward for a while. Xiang Chen was not in a hurry, just watching them quietly.
Finally, someone stood up and walked silently to Xiang Chen’s right. The first person was surprisingly Chen Ming.
He couldn’t go back so dejectedly. Perhaps after he went back, if someone held a grudge against him for being impulsive, he might be in constant trouble hereafter.
Following that, several people, unwilling to leave Green Cloud Peak, also decided to stay. In the end, more than a dozen people chose to stay at the foot of Green Cloud Peak, and become a field-guarding child.
Xiang Chen was not surprised by the outcome. He just glanced at Liang Sheng and found it unexpected that he did not choose to stay.
He naturally knew Yang Cheng’s background, and he was not like other ordinary disciples, having a solid backing in Danyang Outer Peak. But he chose to go back?
After pondering for a while, Xiang Chen couldn’t help but ask, “Yang Cheng, why don’t you choose to stay?”
All eyes suddenly turned to Liang Sheng, who shook his head: “Uncle Master Xiang, I have already become an ordinary disciple, and 1 haven’t been to Danyang Outer Peak yet. Maybe I would want a Daoist partner in the future, so 1 think it’s good to be in Danyang Outer Peak.”
Although Xiang Chen was surprised to hear this, it was in line with what he knew about Yang Cheng, who was indeed calm and measured in dealing with matters.
Foundation Establishment was not something that everyone could succeed in. Some people had even higher aptitudes than him, but that person was already buried beneath the dirt now.
Yang Cheng’s implied meaning was already clear: in case he couldn’t successfully establish a foundation, it’s better to leave a lineage.
That way, his descendants staying in Danyang Outer Peak would be much better than being a menial disciple in Green Cloud Peak, and it could also be considered a backup plan.
Xiang Chen asked Liang Sheng another question just now because Jin Quanxiu had some impression of him. Since Liang Sheng wasn’t interested and had his own ideas, Xiang Chen would let him be.
Every decision a cultivator made was their own fortune. What Xiang Chen could do was put aside his desire to help others, respect their fate, and not create cause and effect, which was the best way to practice cultivation.
Afterward, Xiang Chen arranged for someone to send these ordinary disciples to Danyang Outer Peak. He personally escorted Chen Ming and the others to the spiritual field at the foot of Green Cloud Peak.
This made Chen Ming and the others clench their fists in secret. Since Uncle Master Xiang was willing to send them personally, it meant that he still valued them, and they might still have a chance.
Liang Sheng, on the other hand, shook his head secretly. He understood that Xiang Chen was personally sending them to prevent any further complications.
The living environment for menial disciples at Green Cloud Peak was far worse than here, and Xiang Chen’s presence was meant to prevent them from feeling resentful.
Moreover, as the Big Apprentice of Green Cloud Peak, Xiang Chen had a responsibility to ensure its stability. He hoped that Chen Ming and the others could recognize the reality and not be fickle-minded, or else…’
With this thought, Liang Sheng took a deep breath. However, he didn’t say anything at this point, as he had only one thought.
Danyang Outer Peak, here I come..
