"Elder Xiao, your words are mistaken!"Fang Zhenxiong retorted.
"If such a precious treasure falls into the hands of evildoers, the consequences would be unimaginable. For the safety of the Sect, it should be made public property!"
"So, Elder Fang, are you saying that the disciples of Qingyun Sect are all evildoers?"
Elder Xiao sneered coldly.
"Or is it that only the people of the Law Enforcement Hall are trustworthy?"
The two were at odds, and the atmosphere in the hall grew increasingly tense.
Luo Qingchen, seeing that the timing was just right, spoke up:
"Sect Leader, I have a proposal."
Master Xuan Yang gestured for him to continue.
"Since Elder Fang is so concerned about these items, why not let me demonstrate it for the Elders to appraise?"
Luo Qingchen took out the star map fragment and slowly infused it with Chaotic Power.
Instantly, a brilliant starlight blossomed from the fragment, forming a miniature star map projection in mid-air.
"This is..."
A hint of surprise flashed in Master Xuan Yang’s eyes.
The other Elders also stood up, staring intently at the star map projection.
"This is a fragment of an Ancient Star Map, recording the star formation changes from ancient times."
Luo Qingchen explained.
"I suspect it might be related to the legendary Ancient Teleportation Array."
"Ancient Teleportation Array?"
Master Xuan Yang’s expression turned serious.
"This matter is of great importance. Do you have more detailed clues?"
"I was hoping to request the Sect Leader’s permission to consult the Sect’s records to unravel its mysteries."
Luo Qingchen made his request at the opportune moment.
Seeing the mysterious nature of the star map fragment, Fang Zhenxiong’s greed grew stronger.
"Such a precious treasure should be kept by the Sect for safekeeping! How can we let an Outer Disciple handle it at will?"
"Elder Fang is right."
After a moment of contemplation, Master Xuan Yang spoke slowly.
"However, since this item was obtained by Luo Qingchen, it naturally came with his fate. Taking it by force is not the way of Qingyun Sect."
He paused and continued:
"Let’s do this: Luo Qingchen will temporarily keep the star map fragment, but he must report the research progress to the Sect regularly. As for consulting the records, it can be approved."
Luo Qingchen was overjoyed and quickly bowed in gratitude.
"Thank you, Sect Leader, for your trust!"
Fang Zhenxiong’s face darkened, but he had nothing more to say.
The Sect Leader had already made a statement, and if he continued to harp on it, he would appear petty.
"In that case, what about Su Xiaowan’s Turtle Shell?"
He asked, unwilling to give up.
Su Xiaowan, hearing this, clutched the turtle shell even tighter.
"This is my amulet; no one can take it away!"
"Su Xiaowan’s turtle shell is a family heirloom and naturally belongs to her."
Master Xuan Yang said indifferently.
"If Elder Fang has objections, he can provide solid evidence."
Fang Zhenxiong gritted his teeth but ultimately didn’t persist.
He knew that today’s main objectives had been mostly achieved.
Although he didn’t get the treasure, at least Luo Qingchen felt the pressure.
Moreover, access to the records might not necessarily be a good thing.
"Disciple takes leave."
The three of them bowed again, preparing to leave.
Just then, Fang Zhenxiong suddenly spoke again.
"Wait! There’s one more thing."
He smiled sinisterly.
"Luo Qingchen, I heard you displayed a Golden Core Intermediate Stage cultivation in the workshop?"
Luo Qingchen’s heart tightened, knowing this old fox was up to something again.
"That is true."
He admitted calmly.
"Oh? Before you disappeared, you were only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and now you’re at the Golden Core Intermediate Stage."
A dangerous glint flashed in Fang Zhenxiong’s eyes.
"Such rapid cultivation progress is indeed curious. Did you cultivate some kind of forbidden technique?"
At these words, the hall fell into silence once again.
Indeed, Luo Qingchen’s cultivation speed was too astonishing, inevitably sparking suspicion.
"Elder Fang is overthinking it."
Luo Qingchen responded unhurriedly.
"My current cultivation is entirely due to a fortunate encounter. In that Underground Ancient Hall, I came across an Ancient Pill that helped me break through."
"An Ancient Pill? Do you have proof?"
Fang Zhenxiong pressed on.
"The elixir has long been consumed; how can I prove it?"
Luo Qingchen countered.
"However, the foundational principles of my Cultivation Technique can be verified by the Elders."
Saying this, he actively operated the Chaos Technique, releasing a wave of pure Spiritual Power from his body.
Master Xuan Yang sensed it carefully for a moment and nodded slightly.
"The foundation of the Cultivation Technique is solid, without any trace of forbidden energy."
Fang Zhenxiong’s face grew darker, but he had no further argument.
"If that’s the case, let’s leave it at that for now."
Master Xuan Yang waved his hand.
"You may go rest and arrangements will be made tomorrow."
Leaving the main hall, Luo Qingchen and his companions, led by Elder Qin Mingyuan, arrived at a tranquil courtyard.
The yard was not large but was exquisitely arranged, evidently prepared for returning disciples.
"Stay here for now, and let me know if you need anything."
Qin Mingyuan said with concern.
"Don’t take what happened in the hall to heart. That old fox, Fang Zhenxiong, has always been like that."
Luo Qingchen bowed in thanks.
"Thank you, Elder Qin, for your care."
"Oh, we are fellow disciples, no need to be so formal."
Qin Mingyuan waved his hand.
"Rest well, and I’ll arrange your accommodations and cultivation resources tomorrow."
After Elder Qin left, Su Xiaowan couldn’t help but complain.
"That Fang Zhenxiong was simply too much! It was clearly his nephew’s fault, yet he turned the tables!"
"Xiaowan, keep your voice down."
Lin Wan’er reminded.
"This is the Sect; someone might be eavesdropping."
Luo Qingchen nodded and gestured for the two women to follow him indoors.
The room was simply furnished but clean and tidy.
After checking and confirming there was no eavesdropping array, he began to speak.
"Today’s confrontation gave me some insights into the Sect’s internal situation."
