Tang Feng naturally accepted everything; these things were rightfully hers.
"Junior Brother Tang, how did you manage to do it?" The female disciple delivering the items looked at Tang Feng with some admiration. He wasn't particularly exceptional, apart from being a bit handsome, yet he was unexpectedly powerful.
Tang Feng smiled at the woman, not admitting anything, and pretended to ask, "Senior Sister, I don't know what you are talking about?"
"Come on, don't fool me, I know it all; my Master is the Sect Master," the woman said.
"My apologies, so you are Senior Sister."
"I didn't expect you to be an Array Dao Master. How did you cultivate? Do you know that Master has been praising you all along, and the elders have a very high regard for you? I've never seen such a scene." The woman spoke endlessly, eventually showing a hint of envy.
She never received so many resources.
"Senior Sister, it's not that exaggerated. My array skills are just a bit stronger; it's nothing worth mentioning."
"Alright, stop being modest, everyone knows the Array Path ranks in the top three of all paths. I wonder if Junior Brother could spare me a scroll for self-defense?"
Tang Feng gave her a deep look, then pulled out a scroll and tossed it over.
"You really gave one! Thank you, Junior Brother." The woman was elated, collecting it as a treasure.
Tang Feng saw her stingy expression but didn't pay much attention.
Sometimes, one still needs to make friends.
Even if a passive opportunity arises, benefits will surely follow.
On the other side, the Female Sect Master listened to Third Elder's report, her face full of shock.
"Third Elder, are you sure you saw it clearly?"
"I saw it clearly, and precisely because of this, I realized how terrifying that guy is. If he weren't of a low cultivation realm, I'd truly suspect he was someone from another sect infiltrating ours."
"That shouldn't be the case; that kid is indeed extraordinary. Other sects wouldn't be foolish enough to send an Array Dao Master-level disciple to undertake dangerous tasks." The Female Sect Master's mind was still relatively clear.
Honestly, she is somewhat looking forward to it; otherwise, during this expedition to ancient ruins, Tang Feng might seize the top position.
"Sect Master, I think we should investigate."
"Investigate it quietly, whatever you do, don't scare him away. If he's not, the loss to our sect would be tremendous."
"I understand; I will investigate quietly," Third Elder said.
"You go ahead." The Female Sect Master held the Array Core and then infused a strand of divine sense into it.
Instantly, she grasped everything about the Great Formation.
And after seeing everything clearly, the Female Sect Master from Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect was shocked.
This wasn't just an upgrade; it was practically a complete change of formation!
Tang Feng is absolutely on par with her as an Array Dao Master, but why does he hide this? Is there some hardship or purpose?
Such array cultivation wouldn't be found on this plane.
Thinking about the so-called masters invited before, compared to Tang Feng, they were far too inferior.
Not even on the same level.
Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect acquiring such a disciple is truly a heaven-sent opportunity.
She now regrets granting the expedition spot to Tang Feng.
Such a treasure should be valued like a treasure in any sect, yet she pushed him out.
Hopefully, this decision won't lose this talent.
She must have her girl keep a close watch on him, having those inheriting disciples protect him.
To be on the safe side, the Female Sect Master called Tang Feng to her side again and gave him several life-saving items.
"Thank you, Sect Master."
It's likely the array altered her perspective, or there may be additional heavy matters needing to be addressed, because after leaving this time, who knows when the next return will be.
"Sect Master, how are the sect's herb reserves?"
"Why, what herbs do you need? As long as the sect has them, you'll get them," the Female Sect Master smiled.
"Of course, I need as many as I can get."
"That's impossible; the sect's herbs aren't abundant. Every so often, these herbs are shipped out to trade for elixirs, so three or ten stalks aren't an issue." The Female Sect Master was a bit displeased; she thought Tang Feng was asking too much.
"Ahem, Sect Master, please don't misunderstand. I'm actually a Pill Master."
"What did you say! You are also a Pill Master." Once again, the Female Sect Master's face lost composure; how could she stay calm?
"Tang Feng, I will cancel your status in the expedition to ancient ruins."
"If you do so, I'll take back my words."
"Tang Feng, the expedition to ancient ruins is too dangerous; I don't want you to take any risks."
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Sect Master, but I'm fine." Tang Feng's strong confidence was enough to inspire everyone.
The Female Sect Master shook her head with a wry smile, "Come with me."
Tang Feng followed her to the sect treasury and then proceeded to the herb area.
Piles of unknown herbs were stacked there, making Tang Feng's blood boil. As expected from a great sect, they even have a special place for storing herbs.
Then, Tang Feng wasn't polite and took everything, not sparing a single stalk.
Seeing this, the Female Sect Master's heart raced.
This kid was too bold; didn't he understand restraint?
Sect Master, don't worry; leave everything to me. With these herbs, I can refine elixirs for you.
"With so many herbs, when will you finish refining them? It's better to leave some behind."
"Sect Master, stop with that; it's useless. My decisions won't change." After saying this, Tang Feng left.
"This kid definitely needs heavy protection."
Thus, she summoned the other nine disciples, saying only one thing: at any cost, ensure Tang Feng is brought back from the ruins, while also warning them to stick by him; there will surely be great rewards.
Unfortunately, most didn't believe the Sect Master's words; only her disciple believed in Tang Feng's abilities.
However, they remembered the Sect Master's command.
No matter the circumstances, protecting Tang Feng became the consensus; failure would likely result in blame upon returning to the sect.
But they still don't know what he looks like; never mind, they'll meet eventually and see what sort of person he is.
After these inheritor disciples departed, the Female Sect Master called her disciple to her side, "Disciple, seize this opportunity. I never supported you marrying, but now I won't stop you; if you can get close to Tang Feng, there will surely be surprises."
"Master, what are you saying, I don't want that."
"Silly disciple, would your Master ever harm you? Trust me, this person is a dragon among people, destined to transform into a dragon." The Female Sect Master's thoughts are far-reaching; saying so many things contrary to her previous principles was for the disciple's faster growth.
Some things shouldn't be outright spoken; it depends on the girl's own understanding.
A month quickly passed, and all Ten Inheriting Disciples were summoned by the Sect Master.
"I have only one request, return alive."
"Yes, Sect Master."
"Me too."
"Wait, Tang Feng, didn't you give me something?" The righteous Sect Master actually opened her mouth to ask Tang Feng for an elixir, catching him off guard.
Tang Feng slapped his forehead, "Sorry, Sect Master, I meant to give it to you right away." A pile of jade bottles floated to the sect master's side.
"Much appreciated." The Sect Master couldn't stop smiling as she glanced at them; they were all top-grade, extremely rare.
