I only have passive skills, so I'm extremely cautious

The last underground floor of the Shenxue Sect Castle.

Chen Zhong and Yang Qin stood side by side. In front of them was a transparent glass wall. Across the wall was a crystal ice cave.

There was a small lake in the middle of the ice cave, and the lake was full of lotus flowers that looked like ice sculptures.

Only the one in the center was full of color, with azure blue and snow-white interlaced, and the lotus petals were full of luster and exuded charm.

The poles below were like deep jadeite, soft and tough.

Because of the existence of the Holy Snow Lotus, the entire ice cave was holy and noble. Chen Zhong felt relaxed and his pores opened up through the glass.

"Mr. Shen, I didn't lie to you. The secret of the Holy Snow Lotus was originally known only to the top leaders of our Shenxue Sect," Yang Qin sighed deeply, "Unfortunately, Jinxiu Pavilion began to infiltrate us several years ago."

Chen Zhong sorted out his thoughts and began to lay the groundwork for his plan.

"I have heard about your deeds when you were young in Xiling City. The Ice Queen of Steel led the Shenxue Sect to the peak when you were thirty years old, integrated the scattered and conflicting tribes of the Snow Mountain, rebuilt the originally dilapidated Xiling City, and signed a deeper agreement with the Chiyan Empire, which brought unprecedented benefits to the people."

"But now... do you think you are still qualified to sit on that throne and accept the people's respect? If those sincere young disciples of the Shenxue Sect knew that their sect leader had abandoned the foundation for his own desires, would they be disappointed?"

"This is the world of spiritual warriors, but you care too much about external things. You reached the ninth level of the Soul Tempering Realm in your forties, which means that your talent is not low. Don't lose sight of the essence!"

Yang Qin seemed to be awakened, suddenly realized, and immediately felt sad and heartbroken.

"Mr. Shen, what should I do?"

Chen Zhong chuckled casually, "Grandmaster realm, do you yearn for it?"

Yang Qin's eyes shone, "That is the dream of all spiritual warriors, how can I be exempt from it?"

"If you can make up your mind and my plan is successfully completed, I will give you a chance." Chen Zhong painted a big pie for her and took her into his arms first.

"Thank you, Mr. Shen!" Yang Qin was excited.

Because she couldn't find out Chen Zhong's true strength from beginning to end, as for the ninth level of the spiritual body realm?

She would never believe it even if she was beaten to death!

Such a terrifying deterrence, either an old monster who has been suppressing his strength to prevent him from climbing the ladder, or a big boss who ran down from the upper realm.

Anyway, his aura is not the same as the pressure of the Grandmaster realm.

If she knew that Chen Zhong was actually only at the ninth level of the Blood Surge Realm, I don't know what her expression would be.

Ask Chen Zhong if he is afraid.

Scared to death!

Although he had dozens of ways to escape from Shenxue Sect without any harm, he was still so scared that his heart was pounding.

Because he was worried that Shenxue Sect would destroy everything and blow up the Holy Snow Lotus.

Asked him why he didn't switch the things secretly, the reason was the same, worried that Shenxue Sect would have a backup plan to destroy everything, and by then he would not only not get the things, but also offend people.

As for Jinxiu Pavilion, I can only blame them for trying to snatch things from me. I hope they will stop before it's too late and learn their lesson!

Otherwise, don't blame me for being quick and unethical!

A bunch of people returned to the previous meeting hall.

"What kind of magic did you cast on the sect master!"

"Let an impolite person be so free, do you think my Shenxue Sect is an amusement park?"

A bunch of old guys headed by the great elder scolded.

"Lady Xue and the young master of Jinxiu Pavilion are well matched, talented and beautiful, so why not this marriage?"

"Yes! It will also benefit our Shenxue Sect without any harm!"

Chen Zhong smiled secretly. He didn't know whether these people were really stupid or pretending to be confused. Anyway, many of them had ulterior motives.

But Xue Nu's face was getting worse and worse, and there was anger in her eyes. The noble and respected Saint Lady in the mouths of the people was just a tool for them to exchange for benefits.

"Okay, this matter is settled," Yang Qin said majestically, "Then Xue Nu will fight with the young master herself. After all, this is related to her lifelong happiness. If she loses, Mr. Shen will come forward."

"In short, my Shenxue Sect cannot be led by the nose by Jinxiu Pavilion!"

At the end, cheers were heard everywhere, but many people also had gloomy faces.

The crowd dispersed, and Xue Nu walked alone outside the castle, looking into the distance lonely and full of hope.

"How is your consideration?" Chen Zhong suddenly appeared behind her.

"What?" Xue Nu was puzzled.

"Become a true Saint of Xiling and bring more happiness to your believers." Chen Zhong said without any taboo.

Xue Nu frowned her light blue eyebrows and stretched out a finger to her lips, "Don't talk nonsense, be careful someone hears!"

Chen Zhong didn't care at all and said lightly, "This opportunity is coming, I hope you can seize it, and don't forget the person who dug the well."

Xue Nu was surprised. When she turned around, Chen Zhong had disappeared.

She stayed there in a state of loss, at a loss.

Jinxiu City, Jinxiu Pavilion.

The young Pavilion Master Jian Yun, who was wearing embroidered clothes, took back his mobile phone and said in a deep voice, "The old woman Yang Qin suddenly changed her mind and found a helper from the ninth level of the Spiritual Body Realm to fight against us."

"Ha! Are you afraid?" Pavilion Master Jian Qing replied disdainfully, "You are a second-level Xiaocheng Realm and you are afraid of the Spiritual Body Realm? Is that woman stupid or crazy? Isn't it uncomfortable to be eaten by us honestly? She has to turn over on the chopping board."

"Dad, the Beast Taming Sect is ready. Since Yang Qin doesn't accept our kindness, we have to show her our back-up plan!" Jian Yun licked his lips with a fierce look on his face.

He was quite interested in Xue Nu, Yang Yin, and even the sect leader Yang Qin.

Of course, the premise is to help Grandpa get the Holy Snow Lotus!

...

These days, Chen Zhong has been looked down upon a lot. Perhaps it's because of the snow all around, the whites of those people's eyes are scary white.

But he didn't take it to heart at all. He just quietly experienced the local customs and ran all over the city in Xiling City.

When it was freezing outside, he went to the steaming tavern to drink a big beer, chat with the bunny girl waitress, and exchange the latest gossip with the old hunter carrying a big sword.

His leisurely and happy attitude almost made Xue Nu and others doubt Chen Zhong's reliability.

In fact, Chen Zhong was collecting intelligence and observing the mixed situation, because the Holy White Ceremony was about to come, and the city was full of people, so it was easy to get some information.

About Jinxiu Pavilion, and about another ice treasure needed for the fifth-grade spirit formation - Holy Snow Soil!

Or he went out of the city in the snow and wind and wandered around.

Not to mention, he really made a big discovery... The underground warehouses of the other two beast-controlling gates held nearly two hundred spirit beasts.

It is conceivable that Jinxiu Pavilion spent a lot of money.

Following the gourd, Chen Zhong used the same trick again.

In addition, of course, Liu Yishou was indispensable.

Chen Zhong didn't remember exactly how many spirit formations he had arranged these days, anyway, the materials in four or five storage spirit tools were used up.

In this way, when Chen Zhong could already find the most hidden club in Xiling City with his eyes closed, the lively sacred day quietly arrived.

Xiling City seemed to welcome the New Year, with everything covered in silver. Wind chimes and sky-blue flags representing holiness brought vitality to this steam stone city.

The next day, the Holy White Ceremony began!

Early in the morning, a group of people entered the city gate with a proud look on their faces.
