Chapter 437: Searching

In fact, Xiao Ming's main purpose for coming this time was to search for the Nine-Colored Origin Stone mentioned in the simulator.

The Nine-Colored Origin Stone only appears in the place where the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Pythons suffered a massive disaster. So, it would be more accurate to say that he was looking for the location where the tribe of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python fell.

"The Fallen Ground of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python Tribe? Is there such a place near our Flower Sect?" Fairy Qing asked with some confusion.

"Hmm, I'm certain," Xiao Ming replied. It was natural for the Flower Sect to be unaware of it; if they were aware, would the origin stone still be there? It was unlikely.

"Since that's the case, after dealing with the Profound River Alliance's strong members today, I will order the sects affiliated with our Flower Sect to search for it as well," Fairy Qing said.

She decided to delay seeking revenge against the Profound River Alliance for now. Revenge could be taken at any time, and besides, they already had information on those sects of the Profound River Alliance. Xiao Ming's request was their top priority since he was their great benefactor.

Xiao Ming was satisfied with Fairy Qing's attitude, and he didn't hesitate to accept her offer. His main purpose for coming to the Flower Sect was precisely this.

"In that case, I'll wait for the good news."

...

The next day, everything that happened in the Flower Sect spread out.

When the various forces in Central Plains learned that the Profound River Alliance had dispatched three Half-Saints to attack the Flower Sect, only to be wiped out, they were greatly shocked by the news.

After all, Half-Saints were not easily dealt with, and their simple and straightforward demise left many in disbelief.

However, when it was revealed that Xiao Ming was the one who took action, everyone seemed to take it for granted.

Who was Xiao Ming? Over a year ago, he could already slaughter Dou Saints with ease. Dealing with just three Half-Saints indeed seemed trivial for him.

When the Profound River Alliance was first established, it undoubtedly caused a small commotion in Central Plains. However, with the death of most of its strong members, it was clear that the alliance no longer held any power.

With various major forces combining their resources, the effect was indeed incredibly strong. In just half a month, several branch halls of the Hall of Souls were discovered. Although there were casualties during the reconnaissance, the results were still significant.

The alliance also focused on selecting some powerful experts to form specialized teams in order to prevent the Hall of Souls from capturing the souls of the alliance's alchemists.

These teams patrolled the alliance territory on a daily basis and would rush to the location as soon as the alliance sent out a distress signal.

This specialized protection undoubtedly made the alchemists feel relieved, and it also boosted the demand for their refined pills.

......

Amidst the bustling and explosive growth of the Heavenly Court, half a month passed quietly...

In a serene courtyard within the Flower Sect, Xiao Ming held an alchemy scroll, deeply engrossed in reading.

A graceful woman dressed in palace attire walked into the courtyard.

"Alliance Leader, the Heavenly Court seems to be busy with its initial establishment, yet here you are, enjoying leisure and peace," she teased.

Xiao Ming put down the scroll and smiled lightly at the visitor. "Old Xuan and the others are more familiar with the affairs of the alliance, so I entrusted them with the responsibilities. I lack experience, and I believe it's better not to interfere too much."

Though Xiao Ming spoke modestly, Fairy Hua didn't believe a word of it.

She could tell that Xiao Ming was anything but simple-minded after spending the last few days with him. Managing a faction was effortless for him.

During the Flower Sect and Heavenly Court's fusion process, Xiao Ming expressed some opinions on certain issues, and from that, it was evident that he simply preferred not to be actively involved.

However, many people praised Xiao Ming's approach. Working under an Alliance Leader who did not have such a strong desire for power was far more comfortable.

Xiao Ming invited Fairy Hua to take a seat and then inquired, "Lady Hua, have you received any news about the Fallen Ground of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python Tribe today?"

Fairy Hua's expression became serious. "Yes, we have indeed found it."
