Chapter 375: Ling Xiaolong's Plan

"Elder Feng, you've come back."

When Ling Xiaolong, Feng Hanli, Hu Fang, and others left the flying ship, a young man was there to welcome everyone. He hurriedly rushed over with a face full of joy and worship and greeted Elder Feng.

Ling Xiaolong frowned when he saw this. This was a sect, yet only a single person came to welcome an important elder. There must be something going on.

However, since this was the sect's problem and had nothing to do with him, he did not bother thinking much.

Feng Hanli said, "Em, I have returned. Did something happen recently?"

At the same time, he waved his hand, making everyone disperse. Hu Fang also left. Now, there were only Feng Hanli, the young man, and Ling Xiaolong.

"Yes, the emissary of the Stormwatch Sect has arrived." The young man immediately told Feng Hanli about the important things that had happened recently.

"Stormwatch Sect?" Feng Hanli was surprised. His body also trembled a little.

"Is something wrong?"

No matter how much Ling Xiaolong did not want to get involved, seeing Feng Hanli's trembling body and his petrified expression, he was unable to stop and asked a question.

In the few days he spent on the flying ship, he had already gotten familiar with Feng Hanli and Hu Fang. He also knew several of the sect's matters even though he didn't care about these things.

Feng Hanli was a warrior in the Third Stage of the Celestial Awakening Realm.

From Feng Hanli, Ling Xiaolong heard that he was already the strongest expert in the Solar Phoenix Sect. Other than him, there is only one Celestial Awakening Realm warrior and that person is the sect leader. He was only at the First Stage of the Celestial Awakening Realm.

Feng Hanli also told Ling Xiaolong that the Land of Luminous Essence is divided into three regions, the Outer Region, the Inner Region, and the Central Region.

Feng Hanli sighed and said, "Stormwatch Sect is a nearby sect. It is nothing in the entire outer region. There are only four or five Celestial Awakening Realm warriors in the entire sect. The strongest is only at the Ninth Stage."

"Although Stormwatch Sect is nothing in the outer region. To the dozen or so cities nearby cities, it's a huge power."

Feng Hanli stopped for a few seconds and then continued, "Any power has its own sphere of influence. Every force within this sphere of influence has to submit a certain amount of Luminous Essence Crystals to that power every once in a while. Solar Phoenix Sect is a weaker force and is under the sphere of Stormwatch Sect's influence. It was time for them to hand over the Luminous Essence Crystals, and the emissary of the Stormwatch Sect had come to bring the Luminous Essence Crystals away."

In the past few days that Ling Xiaolong spent with Feng Hanli, he understood Feng Hanli's character. This kind of person does not want to be bullied for no reason.

In fact, Feng Hanli was planning to wage war against two factions with similar strength that had been trying to put pressure on the Solar Phoenix Sect. But this action might end up putting the Solar Phoenix Sect in more danger.

Ling Xiaolong nodded his head in understanding, thought for a while, and suddenly spoke, "Weaker factions have to hand over Luminous Essence Crystals to the stronger factions. If that's the case, why would you all need to go through so much trouble to hunt Luminous Beasts for Luminous Essence Crystals and then hand over this hard-earned money to a stronger faction? Why don't you all simply stop giving out Luminous Essence Crystals and use them to strengthen your own sect?"

Ling Xiaolong's suggestion stunned both Feng Hanli and the young man.

Feng Hanli even thought that something was wrong with Ling Xiaolong's head. He spoke, "Young Master Ling, it is not that easy. You should know that strength determines the extent of our limit. We can not do something that we are not capable of."

"Although Stormwatch Sect is nothing in the entire outer region, it is still several times stronger than my Solar Phoenix Sect. If we decide to rebel, we'll get exterminated the next day."

Ling Xiaolong of course knows this fact. How could he not know after living for so long?

He put forth this suggestion because he had an idea. Since he has nothing to do for the time being and nowhere to go, why not join the Solar Phoenix Sect and help them develop?

Above all, he understood Feng Hanli's line of thought very well. Feng Hanli was still thinking that Ling Xiaolong came from a huge force. If he decided to join the Solar Phoenix Sect, he was sure that Feng Hanli and everyone in the sect would welcome him wholeheartedly.

He smiled at Feng Hanli and spoke, "How about I join the Solar Phoenix Sect? With me around, I'm confident in raising the strength of the sect."

Feng Hanli was stunned, but then a big smile appeared on his face. If Ling Xiaolong really joins the Solar Phoenix Sect, his sect will benefit a lot.

However, before his joy could last long, Ling Xiaolong set forth a condition, "I won't join as an official member of the sect. I'll leave in a few years. But I promise that before departing, I'll strengthen the Solar Phoenix Sect and elevate its rank to at least the same level as the Stormwatch Sect, or even stronger"

It has to be known that Luminous Essence Crystals could be used to strengthen a warrior's cultivation base. Most importantly, there was no limit as to how many Luminous Essence Crystals a warrior could absorb. There is also no side effect of absorbing Luminous Essence Crystal. A warrior could absorb and continuously make breakthroughs in cultivation without worry.

The only thing worth worrying about is the supply of Luminous Essence Crystals.

Luminous Essence Crystals also come in different grades, distinguished by the marks on them. The higher the number of marks on a crystal, the higher its grade.

Luminous Essence Crystals are categorized into nine grades, ranging from one-marked Luminous Essence Crystals to nine-marked Luminous Essence Crystals.

Typically, Luminous Beasts bear these marks on their heads. These marks allow people to discern the level of strength possessed by these beasts.

Celestial Awakening Realm warriors could generally hunt Two-marked Luminous Beasts individually and Three-marked Luminous Beasts in a group of twenty.

Hunting a Four-marked Beast is impossible for even a group of more than a hundred Celestial Awakening Realm warriors.

A person could only hunt Luminous Beasts equal or weaker than them. If a group is hunting, they could hunt a slightly stronger Luminous Beast. But that's all. This way, strengthening a sect is completely impossible.

This situation applies to everyone. Ling Xiaolong was the only exception.

Ling Xiaolong was confident in his strength. He could simply go and hunt for stronger Luminous Beasts. With the power of his Chaos, he could easily hunt thousands of stronger Luminous Beasts at once. Collecting hundreds of millions of Luminous Essence Crystals will not be difficult for him. At that time, strengthening a tiny sect like the Solar Phoenix Sect would be very easy.

What is more, he has even a shortcut to earn a huge number of these crystals. He could simply put a few drops of Morning Brilliance Dew for auction.

In short, he has many ways to earn Luminous Essence Crystals, and these crystals are the catalyst to strengthen the Solar Phoenix Sect which is not worth mentioning in Ling Xiaolong's eyes.

.....

In the main hall of the sect, the emissary of Stormwatch Sect and the sect leader Feng Qiubai's conversation wasn't pleasant.

"Lord emissary, in the past, we only needed to pay one three-marked, fifty two-marked, and two hundred one-marked Luminous Essence Crystals. But now, it has tripled. Isn't this too much?"

Feng Qiubai suppressed his anger as he finished speaking.

One three-marked, fifty two-marked, and two hundred one-marked Luminous Essence Crystals, this was a huge amount of money for the current Solar Phoenix Sect. They could barely collect this much with the strength of the entire sect.

In addition, he still needed to leave behind some amount for cultivation resources of the sect.

The Solar Phoenix Sect had only barely met the requirements of the Stormwatch Sect every year. But now, it had tripled. This was simply impossible to accomplish.

How could they obtain so many Luminous Source Crystals in such a short period of time?

The Stormwatch Sect envoy's eyes flashed and he said with a faint smile: "Anyway, this is the target that the Stormwatch Sect has set this time. If you don't achieve this goal, Sect Master Feng should know what will happen to your sect."

Feng Qiubai and other elders' faces darkened. The envoy of the Stormwatch Sect was completely threatening them.

How could Feng Qiubai and the elders not know the consequences of not handing over the Luminous Essence Crystals?

Dozens of years ago, in a nearby city, a small force like them had been destroyed because of this. That force even had a Fifth Stage of Celestial Awakening Realm expert guarding it, much stronger than their Solar Phoenix Sect.

Fortunately, their Solar Phoenix Sect still had Elder Feng.
