Dispersing wealth is like benefiting from it

  Yue Qing soon gained everyone's favor, San Feng took the lead, and together with Er Feng and Dong Xiu, they came over to toast him repeatedly.

  Yue Qingdao said: "This is the first time I've come to visit with my master sister as an uninvited guest, and I feel deeply presumptuous. I specially prepared some gifts for the esteemed attendants of the various palace masters."

  The three phoenixes were overjoyed upon hearing this and ordered their disciples to come forth, each of whom kowtowed to Yue Qing and received a reward.

  In the palace, Jin Xunu saw that Xu Feiniang had ulterior motives. Previously, she had repeatedly advised the three palace masters not to associate with Xu Feiniang, and they didn't get along at all. At banquets, she would only drink a cup of wine before excusing herself to leave. Although Hui Zhu also disliked Xu Feiniang, she wouldn't be as obvious as Jin Xunu. When she heard that Yue Qing was going to present precious gifts, she assumed he was trying to buy people's hearts and spoke up to decline.

  San Feng, however, felt that she had lost face, as Xu Fei Niang was her good friend, and Yue Qing naturally counted as one of them coming to the Purple Cloud Palace as a guest, so she insisted on having someone go fetch all their disciples.

  The first one to receive the treasure was a teenage girl who came before Yue Qing, bowed down and introduced herself as Lu Rongbo.

  Yue Qing stared at her for a moment, then handed over a Soul-Seizing Order.

  Right after the first wind, Huang Feng and Zhao Tieniu, disciples of the second wind, Jin Ping, disciple of Hui Zhu, Long Lizi and others came to pay their respects to Shibo. Yue Qing took out one by one the magical artifacts he had prepared in advance from the treasure chest, all of which were given to him by Xu Fei before his departure, including the Seven Star Needle, Duan Yu Knife, Wu Hook Sword, and Broken Wave Chui, a total of over ten items, all of which were distributed. In the end, only one five-element awl that he had refined in Hengshan was left in his hand, and he smiled and said: "Before I came, Shijie told me about the number of disciples in your palace, and I prepared one for each person. Now how can there be one left? Is it that some senior apprentice disdains my shallow skills and thinks that the magical artifacts I brought out are not worthy of attention?"

  Sanfeng's face showed displeasure, and he immediately ordered Huang Feng: "Go and summon Wei Rong for me!"

  Huang Feng said: "Just now I went to call him, Wei Rong Shidi said that he had an accident while practicing his skills the day before yesterday, and his hands and feet were weak, so he couldn't come."

  San Feng raised an eyebrow: "He can't come himself, are you all dead? Go and bring him to me!"

  Huang Feng was startled and quickly went to find someone. Before long, a tall and slender young man was led in, who first knelt on the ground and apologized to San Feng: "I was practicing my skills the other day and accidentally used the wrong breath, injuring my lung meridian. Yesterday I coughed up a lot of blood, so I didn't come earlier. Please forgive me, Master!"

  Hui Zhu knew that Wei Rong was brought into the palace by Jin Xu Nu, and San Feng had never gotten along with Jin Xu Nu. Wei Rong also refused to try to curry favor with her, so she looked down on him and often made things difficult for him. Just as she was about to speak up for him, San Feng pointed at Yue Qing and said: "Why ask me? Go ask your uncle-in-law, if he is magnanimous and willing to pardon your crimes then that's fine, otherwise today you will definitely be severely punished!"

  Wei Rong then came over and knelt down in front of Yue Qing, asking for his forgiveness.

  Yue Qing looked at him, who was not very old, had already formed an internal elixir, and had achieved the cultivation of a free immortal. He also had a good foundation for immortality and excellent innate qualities. So he said: "Nephew, are you really ill? In my younger years, I followed my master to learn Taoism and understood some medical knowledge. Let me take a look at you."

  He finished speaking and bent down to grab Wei Rong's arm, Wei Rong was shocked and quickly dodged, but his right wrist was already caught by Yue Qing, three fingers pressed on the pulse, carefully examining.

  Wei Rong's heart was racing, he couldn't help but feel tense. San Feng had always been ruthless and merciless, and now that he had fallen into her hands, he would definitely suffer. He had always disliked Xu Fei Niang, and even the people she brought with her were detestable to him, so he didn't want anything from her. That's why he had pretended to be injured earlier and hadn't come.

  Yue Qing felt his tension and intentionally furrowed his brow, hesitating for a long time before announcing the result.

  Dong Xiu also disliked Wei Rong and asked tentatively: "Brother Yue, how badly was Wei Rong injured?"

  Wei Rong's heart was already in his throat, thinking that he couldn't escape this punishment today. If San Feng let Wu Fan execute him, who knows how miserable his ending would be?

  "Alas, this child has indeed injured his lung meridian, and the damage to his internal energy is severe. If he doesn't receive timely treatment, I fear that he will develop a chronic illness in the future, which will affect his cultivation." He took out a jade bottle from his treasure pouch, poured out a pellet of medicine, and immediately filled the room with fragrance. "This is the Clearing Coolness Pill, a secret remedy passed down through my Five Peaks Sect, which can dispel fire poison and nourish the heart and lungs. Take it back and have him take one pill, and he will recover."

  Wei Rong looked at him with a puzzled expression, although he didn't know why he would help himself, and took the medicine from him. He also accepted the Wu Xing Chu given by Yue Qing, thanked him, and then retreated under the pretext of taking the medicine.

  Wu Fan had previously obtained the Cold Soul Pursuing Sand from Yue Qing, thinking he was the only one who possessed it, and secretly rejoiced for a long time. Now, looking at it, it turned out to be evenly distributed among everyone, and suddenly lost interest. He knew that Xu Fei Niang was the most amiable person, never seen her get angry, and Yue Qing also looked very kind, always with a smile on his face. Taking advantage of Dong Xiu's favoritism, he came over to toast Yue Qing again: "Uncle Yue, I'll have another cup for you." After drinking, he said, "Uncle, look at me, I still haven't had enough!"

  "Ah, I had forgotten. Who made you come over just now?" After finishing speaking, took out Ni Lanxin's Soul-Returning Nail again, "Look, Master has already prepared it for you."

  Wu Fan didn't expect to really get another treasure, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, holding the treasure and kneeling on the ground, kowtowing like a chicken pecking at rice: "Master Yue, may you live forever! Master Yue's power is boundless! Master Yue..."

  Yue Qing hastily stopped him, otherwise he would say something unpredictable in a moment, besides, he didn't like to listen to such flattering words either.

  For a time, everyone was overjoyed. They continued to raise their cups and chat, making merry for quite some time before dispersing. Dong Xiu took Xu Fei's mother to live with her in the Yuan Jiao Hall, while Yue Qing was arranged by San Feng to stay in the side hall of the Da Xiong Temple where guests usually resided.

  That great bear reef is one of the nine main palaces of the Purple Cloud Palace. At first, the owner of the immortal mansion, Tianyi Golden Mother, used the immortal method to contain Mount Sumeru in a mustard seed and trapped countless sea waters here, transforming them into a massive lake. Standing in the center and looking around, all that can be seen is the boundless water with no edges. In the water, there are various strange fish and shells that Tianyi Golden Mother brought from outside, including giant crabs, precious lobsters, and even dragons and turtles. These animals have been thriving here for thousands of years, and many species that have become extinct outside still survive here. Amidst the boundless sea waters, there is an island reef with pavilions, towers, crystal palaces, and jade halls. Leaning against them to watch the surrounding crabs dancing and shells opening, fish and dragons swimming freely, it's a unique and interesting sight.

  Yue Qingcai came on the first day, Wu Fan got two treasures. He is also a sensible person, knowing that Dong Xiu is his reliance, and as soon as he comes back, he presents the two treasures. The child and mother chasing soul nail is nothing, it's about the same power as Dong Xiu's self-cultivated treasure, but the cold flame chasing soul sand is extremely powerful, Dong Xiu envies it very much, but it was given to Wu Fan by Yue Qing, even if she had a thick face, she wouldn't dare to rob the younger generation's treasure, of course, the most important thing is that she wants to leave a good impression in front of Yue Qing.

  Wu Fan discussed with Dong Xiu: "When Uncle Yue first arrived at the palace, he must have been very formal and restrained. The servants and eunuchs below didn't know what to do, if they treated the noble guest poorly it wouldn't be good. Why don't I go to Da Xiong Jiao, to serve as the official there? Besides being able to fully provide for his food and expenses, I can also bring Uncle Yue to see all the beautiful scenery in the palace from start to finish, which will show our sincerity."

  Dong Xiu deeply agreed, and the image of Yue Qing taking out one piece of treasure after another from her hundred-treasure pouch had already been deeply imprinted in her heart. She knew that among all the people in the palace, her own abilities were the weakest, and her treasures were not as impressive as others'. If she could establish a relationship with this "God of Wealth" from the Wu Tai Sect, even if it couldn't be considered a strong alliance, just getting a few precious items would still be an unexpected delight.

  Wu Fan obtained Dong Xiu's consent and came to Da Xiong Jiao, taking over the duties of the inner court. He racked his brains and used all his skills to think of ways to please Yue Qing. He personally went to various places to pick rare fruits and spiritual objects to entertain Yue Qing, including those that took decades to mature and were usually sealed off by magic spells. He then went to find San Feng, who was also thinking along the same lines as Dong Xiu and was currently trying to get information about Yue Qing from Xu Fei Niang. After hearing Wu Fan's report, she immediately bestowed a jade token and instructed the entire palace that all food and supplies should be provided with Da Xiong Jiao as the priority. Wu Fan obtained the token and brought out all the good things accumulated over thousands of years in the Purple Cloud Palace to entertain Yue Qing, even going so far as to want to arrange for some girls to serve him, but was stopped by Yue Qing.
