Soon, the three of them arrived at a mountain stream and looked into the distance. Next to a river, there were many tents, there were many disciples patrolling and guarding, and there were also some female disciples, who were in charge of boiling water and cooking. The scene looked quite peaceful, but if one looked carefully, they would notice that among the disciples, all of them had worried looks on their faces.

At this time, Long Yang greeted the senior brother and pulled him into a tent. After that, Long Yang took out a piece of clothing from a bag and handed it to Shi Ling. "Today, the leader of the team is not in a good mood. Don't let him see your untidy clothes, otherwise he'll definitely be in trouble!"

It was only then that Shi Ling remembered that his clothes were already tattered. With an embarrassed smile, he quickly changed his clothes. At the same time, Shi Ling also asked, "What happened to the leader of the group? Why are you in a bad mood? "

Long Yang let out a helpless sigh and said, "During this trip, a Ghost Eye Demon Ape caused more than twenty disciples to die, and most of them were injured. The problem is, this time the mission far exceeded the expected goal, each disciple only found one or two orchid flowers, and they were all relatively young, and the majority of the disciples didn't even have any harvests. This makes the leader of the group report back to the sect tomorrow, so of course he's very annoyed."

When he heard this, he let out a long 'oh', but Long Yang seemed to have thought of something else, and immediately walked out of the tent. When he heard this, he let out a long 'oh', but Long Yang seemed to have thought of something, and immediately walked out of the tent, and looked around.

Shi Ling's eyes widened as he said, "Heh, alright, you brat. Other people can't even get the most basic amount to complete a mission, but you already have five baht!"

Long Yang took out two of them and passed them to Shi Ling, saying, "Actually, I can still find more, but because of my power, I'm not suitable to run too far. Therefore, I'll only find five, and I'll leave three of them for you to hand over when the time comes. Take the other two, and in the afternoon, we'll go out and see if we can find one for you."

He did not tell Shi Ling that he had nearly lost his life when he was collecting the five stalks of orchid incense, but he still gave the two stalks to Shi Ling. From this, it could be seen how much Long Yang valued Shi Ling as a brother.

At this point, he pushed back the two orchids, indicating that he didn't need them. Long Yang's eyes widened as he said unhappily, "These two stalks of orchid fragrance aren't much, but it's at least a token of my appreciation. Since you're unwilling to take them, aren't you giving me face?"

It wasn't that he didn't want to accept Long Yang's good intentions, but he could also see how much benefits Long Yang had given up for him. With these five orchids, not only would Long Yang obtain a lot of income, but he could also exchange it for cultivation resources, and if he was lucky, he could even get a recommendation from a team elder. At that time, Long Yang's future would be bright, but Long Yang was willing to give up this opportunity and take out two stalks for him.

Three Faint Blue Fragrance and five Faint Blue Fragrance were only two Faint Blue Fragrance leaves apart, but in the eyes of the leading elder, their results were twice as high as the others. This was enough to point out many problems.

Shi Ling felt a warm feeling in his heart. Ever since he had been demoted to a service disciple by the sect, he had become accustomed to seeing people's cold hearts. Besides his dead sister, how long had it been since anyone had sincerely treated him?

At this point, Shi Ling couldn't help but chuckle. "Do you think I didn't get anything while I was outside?"

As he said that, Shi Ling took out his own simple package and patted it.

Long Yang had a doubtful expression as he asked, "What is this?"

At the same time, there was also a flash of purple light that appeared, causing Long Yang's eyes to widen. Because at this moment, he could see that within the bundle, there were actually a lot of Youlan Fragrance. With a single glance, he could tell that there were at least two hundred of them!

Long Yang couldn't help but suck in a breath. "Where did you find so much orchid fragrance?"

Shi Ling gave Long Yang a silent hand signal and said, "When I was outside, I accidentally barged into a cave. There was a lot of orchid fragrance in there, so I collected it all."

Seeing this, Long Yang said joyfully, "Mother, you can do it! With this orchid fragrance, you will be able to get a lot of gold coins, and at that time you can also buy a lot of cultivation resources. This way, your strength will be able to rapidly increase, and the sect will be able to value you again."

Shi Ling smiled and took out twenty pieces of orchid fragrance from within. He passed them to Long Yang and said, "Take these!"

Long Yang's eyes once again widened, and immediately waved his hand: "You're joking right? You risked your life for these things, how can I take them? "

Unexpectedly, Shi Ling's face darkened as he snatched Long Yang's hand away. After that, he stuffed the orchid fragrance into Long Yang's hand and said, "I, Shi Ling, have always been a person who repays kindness with kindness. If you don't accept this orchid fragrance, then you will be looking down on me!"

When Long Yang heard this, he couldn't help but lower his head and laugh. He gave him two pieces of Faint Blue Fragrance, and he gave himself twenty.

At this moment, Long Yang nodded his head with a bitter smile. Since Shi Ling had already said so, he would appear a little shy if he were to decline. He smiled and said, "Alright, I'll accept these items."

Only then did Shi Ling give a satisfied grunt. At the same time, a hand patted his shoulder. "That's more like it."

After he was done packing, he stood up once more and said, "Alright, then we should hurry and exchange this orchid fragrance for gold from the elders who are in charge of the team. After all, if such a huge profit is placed here, it might change in the future."

When Long Yang heard this, he said, "Alright, let's go."

As he said this, the two of them walked out of the tent. Outside of the tent, Long Yang smacked his head again and said, "Oh right, I remember that I saw a faint orchid fragrance at another place before, when the Ghost Eye Demon Ape attacked. Because of the Ghost Eye Demon Ape, I didn't have the time to pick it previously, and afterwards, I kept looking for you at the bottom of the cliff, so I forgot about this matter.

Shi Ling's eyelids twitched as he said, "You can forget about that. I really admire you. Fine, I'll wait here. Hurry up!"

Long Yang let out an "oh" before jogging out. At this moment, Shi Ling found a stone and sat down.

However, what Shi Ling did not notice was that not far away, among a group of people, there were quite a few people who were looking at Shi Ling. However, what Shi Ling did not notice was that not far away, among a group of people, there were quite a few who were looking at Shi Ling.

A playful smile appeared on the handsome young man's face, and he immediately nodded. When He Tian saw this, he stood up and led four or five people towards the direction of Shi Ling.

At this moment, Shi Ling's gaze naturally fell upon He Tian. He frowned slightly when he saw the group of people walking towards him. He subconsciously moved the bundle in his arms behind him and stood up. Then, he walked in another direction.

After a while, a group of people surrounded Shi Ling. Their gazes were all filled with greed as He Tian said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Shi Ling, how have you been? I heard that you accidentally fell off the cliff and became worried. Now that you've returned, you can finally relax."

At this moment, Shi Ling turned his gaze towards He Tian and his expression gradually turned cold. When the surrounding disciples saw this scene, they could not help but secretly click their tongues. It was clear that they knew what was going to happen next.

Against Shi Ling's small physique, they would probably be able to knock him down in an instant. However, they could not see what was worth snatching from Shi Ling, and if it was the You Lan Fragrance, they did not think it was possible. After all, that thing was too hard to find, and with Shi Ling's strength, how could he possibly find it? Even if he did find her, so what? She was still going to be robbed.

The people present could tell that those people were all the subordinates of Zhang Yusheng, the handsome young man who had spoken to He Tian earlier.

On the other hand, Shi Ling and He Tian looked at each other and said, "If Senior Brother He Tian doesn't mind, then Junior Brother He Tian will definitely get drunk with Senior Brother He Tian once we return to the sect. However, before this, Junior Brother still has other things to do at the elders' place, so I will not bother you guys any longer. Please make way for me."

As he spoke, he cupped his hands together towards He Tian and turned to leave. However, the group of people still firmly held him in place as he laughed heartily, "Junior Brother Shi Ling sure knows how to speak, but I don't think it's necessary for you to get drunk. I've come this time around mainly to ask Junior Brother Shi Ling for a small favor."

Shi Ling's expression did not change. With his back to He Tian, he asked, "I wonder what virtue does Junior Apprentice Brother have to be able to serve Senior Apprentice Brother?"

He still vividly remembered the scene of Shi Ling knocking him down with a single punch, but now, he had found it all at once. With a helper by his side, it would be great if he could speak with confidence.

I believe that Junior Apprentice Brother Shi Ling should have heard about it. Our mission this time was met with an accident, causing numerous casualties among the disciples, and most of them were unable to complete the mission given by the sect. At this time, it is time to test the unity of our disciples, and I think that if Junior Apprentice Brother Shi Ling has enough of the orchid fragrance in his possession, I wonder if Senior Apprentice Brother can borrow a few of it.

The corners of Shi Ling's lips couldn't help but twitch as he asked, "Then how much orchid fragrance would senior need?"

He said, "This senior brother won't force you. Junior brother, just give it to us. We have six people here, and the team still has more than twenty people. We don't have the orchid fragrance, so how much do you think we should give?"

He was infuriated, but his face remained calm as he said, "Senior Brother really thinks highly of me. If we add all of these people together and count it as three per person, it would be close to a hundred Faint Orchid Fragrance. Does Senior Brother think I have that many?"

His gaze was fixed on the bundle on Shi Ling's shoulder. Without any concealment, he said, "Then I don't know. Of course, junior brother Shi Ling can also refuse, but I hope that junior brother Shi Ling will prepare more healing pills for us. That's because I'm worried that junior brother Shi Ling might be deceived by someone because he doesn't know what's good for him!"

These words were already very obvious. If you don't hand the item over, then don't even think about returning to the sect today.

As he said this, he started to laugh strangely. The surrounding people began to whisper amongst themselves, pointing at Shi Ling. They said, "Look at that fool's looks, he really thinks he's something important."

"A pile of dog shit is still courting death in front of us. What kind of behavior is this?"

"He's just a useless disciple that has been removed from the sect. Does he really think that he's still that lofty official disciple from back then?"

Seeing this, He Tian nodded his head and said, "That's more like it. Why didn't you take it out earlier?"

At that moment, he wanted to extend his hand to receive it.

However, at this moment, Shi Ling threw the bundle upwards. The gazes of the crowd were fixated on the bundle as it flew upwards.

However, the current Shi Ling had already struck out with his fist, and before He Tian could react, his fist slammed into He Tian's stomach.

「 Thud!」 He Tian only felt as if his stomach was struck by a heavy blow, before his body was sent flying backwards. A loud bang could be heard as he forcefully broke a large tree, and at the same time, Shi Ling's hands supported himself on the ground as he lifted his legs and spun them to the side. He then flung a leg at the people surrounding him, kicking them in the face.

Immediately, all of the disciples turned their gazes towards Shi Ling. Even the handsome young man was staring at Shi Ling in shock.

At this moment, Shi Ling stood up again and stretched out his hand to catch the bundle that had fallen from the sky.
