It’s not like he has a common face. How did he manage to blend into the crowd so easily and make it so hard to find him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From behind, He Han’s voice from Divine Peak sounded, followed by a heavy pat on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing turned his head and saw He Han looking at him with disdain, while next to him was Lu Yaoyao, her face full of surprise and confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had circled this place three times just now. How come she couldn’t find Senior Brother Zhou?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing subconsciously looked at Lu Yaoyao’s expression, feeling a sudden joy in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the talent skill [Lowering Presence] now upgraded to level three, even powerful Golden Core Realm experts like Senior Brother Yan would start overlooking him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget Lu Yaoyao, who was just at the Qi Condensation stage, even a Foundation Establishment Realm great perfection cultivator had a 90% chance of ignoring him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This saved a lot of trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, wait. It seemed like there wasn’t much trouble to begin with, and with no presence, she and Li Daoxuan couldn’t provide him with Heart Mirror Points either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, it’s a dilemma!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Sister Lu, is there something you need?\" Zhou Qing asked while holding a chicken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao anxiously replied, \"It’s urgent, very urgent. Sister Xuan You is returning to the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing and He Han were both stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what if she’s leaving? What’s it got to do with me?\" Zhou Qing asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao opened her mouth but didn’t know how to explain for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, she’s leaving. Don’t you want to invite her for a meal at least?\" Lu Yaoyao looked at Zhou Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing’s face twitched involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big sis, that’s not necessary, is it? I’ve only eaten your leftovers from breakfast twice. No need for a return invitation, right? Besides, inviting such a big shot for a meal, do you know how much that costs?\" Zhou Qing said speechlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao quickly explained, \"That’s not what I meant. Don’t you think Sister Xuan You is very beautiful? Don’t you have feelings for her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao made an ambiguous gesture with her thumbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she said this, He Han quickly covered her mouth, suddenly feeling it was inappropriate and immediately let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Sister Lu, you can’t say such things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing was even more terrified, retreating a step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a pit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a pit big enough to bury me alive at any time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you trying to pair me with Immortal Xuan You?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Insane!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is sheer insanity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How old am I? And how old is she?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, haven’t you heard that Sikong Yan, the Palace Master of Cangyan Daoist Palace, is pursuing her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you trying to make me steal her from him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother He, manage your junior sister. I still want to live a few more years,\" Zhou Qing was too lazy to talk to Lu Yaoyao and directly addressed He Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Han, who had been annoyed with Zhou Qing, now felt completely embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao, unwilling to give up, said, \"Aren’t you going to give it a try? What if it works out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big sis, I’ve only met her twice, and both times you dragged me along. She never really paid attention to me. How could I try? Bah, why am I even telling you this? It’s impossible, absolutely impossible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing flatly refused!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Heart Mirror Points +9]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The word [So Naive] above Lu Yaoyao’s head instantly turned into [So Cowardly].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing turned and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absolutely crazy, his head was filled with wild fantasies all day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s it, I’ve decided. It’s better to stay away from you, otherwise, I might not even know how I die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the evening, when back in his room, Zhou Qing took out a low-grade spirit stone. As silver patterns emerged on his right hand, he smashed it and the spirit stone immediately turned into grain-sized particles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing carefully scattered them in front of the old hen, fixed its head, and it began to peck at the grains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a while, it had eaten all the spirit stone particles clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing observed in silence for a long time, making sure nothing unusual happened, then continued to smash three more stones. Only then did it show signs of being satiated and casually moved to a corner to sleep soundly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That spirit egg from before, who knows how long it had been stored. Now that it’s directly eating spirit stones, it should be much faster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing muttered to himself, then left it alone and returned to his room, took out a top-grade water-attribute spirit stone, and began breathing practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early the next morning, Zhou Qing hurriedly went to the chicken nest to check, but found nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess I was too impatient!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, today the old hen seemed the same as usual, pecking around with poor vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday during the appraisal, it was advised to take it for walks often to keep it in a good mood, which might increase the chance of laying eggs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing tied the rope again and began to walk the chicken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go, let’s go. The Five Sects Treasure Exchange Gathering is in half a month. I’ve already sold all my junk. Maybe there will be good stuff soon. Senior Brother will take you to broaden your horizon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu called out to Zhou Qing enthusiastically, heading straight down the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing also planned to use his new talent skill [Daily Reflection]. Maybe he could snag a good deal. Even if not, he could at least rule out some \"wrong answers\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, today Flame Dragon City seemed busier than before, and there were many more stalls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, I’ll take you to a place where the stalls are set up by the true inheritors and core disciples of the Five Sects. The stuff they have is solid!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu led Zhou Qing in a particular direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, as they entered this special area, it immediately became much quieter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the outside stalls, there was no bargaining and noisy chatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stall owners, as Senior Brother Yan had said, sat calmly behind their stalls, and most of the items had fixed prices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either buy it or leave it. They didn’t worry about selling anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excuse me, Senior Brother, how much for this piece of Illusory Dream Profound Copper?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Yan Xiaohu approached a stall and couldn’t help but ask the price for a fist-sized mineral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stall owner, dressed in Thunder attire, was likely a core disciple of the Golden Thunder Sect. The pressure he exuded made Zhou Qing feel chest tightness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thirty mid-grade spirit stones,\" the man said flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit stones are graded based on the purity and impurities of Spiritual Qi within them into top-grade, mid-grade, low-grade, and premium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Typically, the exchange rate is 1:100.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That means, one mid-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred low-grade spirit stones. This piece of Illusory Dream Profound Copper is valued at three thousand low-grade spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing couldn’t help but marvel. No wonder good stuff is showing up at these stalls. It’s nothing like the small-time trades he used to make.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu hesitated a long time but ultimately chose to give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too expensive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing continued to walk his old hen, following Senior Brother Yan, and soon spotted Senior Sister Shi Zhen. She had a stall here as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two junior brothers, you’ve arrived!\" Senior Sister Shi Zhen greeted with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the note [So Naive Junior Brother Zhou] above Senior Sister Shi Zhen’s head, Zhou Qing felt a bit embarrassed and tugged the old hen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old hen immediately came over and began to peck Zhou Qing’s instep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu, looking at the items on the stall, was surprised, \"Senior Sister Shi, I didn’t expect you to be so skilled, even obtaining Purple Ancient Rock and Cyan Jade. Impressive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Zhen laughed, \"I got these during an adventure a few years ago. Junior Brother Yan, are you interested?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu quickly waved his hand. Good items indeed, but he had no use for them at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother Zhou, you’re here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zhou Qing was curiously examining the good items on Senior Sister Shi Zhen’s stall, a voice suddenly came from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>",1408,"2026-06-09T06:33:57.974Z",1,"novelbin.me","99cdf7b57e9f7c7dc98c4903b1fda34b5e7e0fcf751895bfe081237645db8f45","the-sect-leader-has-taken-in-a-new-female-discip-chapter-32","the-sect-leader-has-taken-in-a-new-female-discip-chapter-30",1176,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-sect-leader-has-taken-in-a-new-female-discip-cover.jpg"]
