Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1033: Chapter 540: So It Was the Evil Demon Sect Behind This_2

"No need to return to Stone Village, it’s closer to our Elf Clan from here, we can get the herbs from there."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course! I’m the second young master of the Elf Clan! Although I don’t manage the elves, my status is undeniable! My brother always indulges me; whatever I ask for, I get! You can rest assured and just follow me!"

Seeing his confident look, Gu Sheng thought for a moment and still nodded.

After all, Stone Village is farther away; going back and forth would waste a lot of time. Now, with all the major sects heading to the Demon Clan, if left unchecked, many innocent lives will be lost. They really need to hurry.

"Alright, let’s go to the Elf Clan then."

The two of them turned around to rejoin the main group.

Upon seeing everyone, Lan Yao directly explained the situation.

Upon learning it was the Demon Clan causing trouble, everyone was furious.

After hearing about the elixirs, Shi Lou suspiciously asked Lan Yao, "Are you sure we can get elixirs if we go with you to the Elf Clan?"

"You can be assured, I guarantee it!"

With that, Lan Yao took the lead and led everyone toward the Elf Clan.

Along the way, they noticed many sects hurrying on their journey.

In the past, if sects encountered one another on the road, they would secretly size each other up, sometimes even test one another. But now, everyone was in a rush, each eager to get on their own way, paying no attention to others at all.

Seeing the direction they were headed, Gu Sheng more or less understood and couldn’t help but sigh.

Hearing him sigh, Huang Shan stepped forward to ask, "Brother Sheng, what’s wrong?"

"Seeing so many sects heading to the Demon Sect, it suddenly makes me feel a bit uneasy."

The members of several families have fallen into the hands of the Demon Sect; the sects heading there are likely going on a one-way trip. The thought of so many innocent lives perishing makes Gu Sheng feel uneasy.

Huang Shan understood his meaning, but still offered some counsel: "Brother Sheng, don’t overthink it. They’re rushing there because they have their own motives. Who would risk their life to defend others for no reason?"

Gu Sheng knew that what Huang Shan said made sense.

The reason these people were rushing there was, first, to find a way to break the Demon Sect’s elixirs and thus gain fame in the Jianghu; second, to forge good relations with the major families and sects, thereby enhancing their own reputation and strength. The temptation was great, which is why they were willing to take the risk.

"Gu Sheng, forget about them, let’s hurry up and go!"

Lan Yao called out, and Gu Sheng came to his senses and quickly followed.

In just a day and a half’s journey on foot, they reached the entrance of the Elf Clan.

Seeing the spiritual energy permeating everywhere, as beautiful as the Immortal Realm, they were dumbstruck.

Seeing them like this, Lan Yao raised his head proudly.

"How about it? Isn’t our Elf Clan beautiful?"

Hearing this, Er Gou nodded with his mouth agape.

"Beautiful, not only is the Elf Clan beautiful, but the elves flying in the sky are even more beautiful."

Following his gaze, Lan Yao smacked him on the back of the head.

"Quickly rein in your shameless gaze, or be wary of my fist."

Hearing this, Er Gou quickly withdrew his gaze.

"Lan Yao, aren’t you being a bit stingy? I was just looking, I wasn’t doing anything."

"What else do you want to do? Such audacity! Our elves are sacred and inviolable, it’s lucky you even get to look, quickly wipe away your drool, or my brother might think I brought back an idiot."

Er Gou was speechless and quickly raised his sleeve to wipe.

Gu Sheng also advised, "Although we are here with Lan Yao, being newcomers we must be polite and not offend the elves."

Hearing this, Er Gou nodded repeatedly.

"Brother Sheng, don’t worry, I know what to do, I won’t offend anyone."

Lan Yao was satisfied with what he heard, and then led everyone into the Elf Clan.

As soon as he entered, many elves immediately came forward and greeted him with great respect.

Lan Yao exuded an air of authority and raised his hand slightly towards them.

"Where’s my brother? Where is he?"

"The clan leader is in the back garden."

"Go inform him, I’m heading there now."

After a few elves flew away first, Lan Yao led them towards the back garden.

They passed through a corridor full of vines and flowers, turned a corner, and then saw the Elf Clan’s back garden, as beautiful as a celestial paradise.

There were no elves here, only various rare flowers and plants. Colorful flowers, some growing on the ground, others climbing towards the Heavenly Realm on vines, intertwined and reflected each other, definitely worthy of being called an Immortal Realm.

Gu Sheng and the others hadn’t yet regained their senses, when Lan Yue strode over.

"Are you all friends of my brother, Lan Yao?"

Hearing this, everyone quickly paid their respects, as Lan Yue was the clan leader and deserved due etiquette.

Seeing that they were so polite, Lan Yue was quite satisfied.

"Are you people from Stone Village?"

"Yes, all of us are from Stone Village."

"I didn’t expect my brother to be so close to you, it’s his honor. He was spoiled from a young age; his personality might be a bit reckless, if he offended you in any way, please forgive him."

Hearing Lan Yue’s words, Gu Sheng smiled.

"Rest assured, Lan Clan Leader, Lan Yao is easy to get along with. He is sincere and kind. Though he may be a bit uninhibited at times, he fits our temperament perfectly, or we wouldn’t have gotten along for so long."

Hearing Gu Sheng praise him, Lan Yao almost puffed up with pride.

"Brother, did you hear that? In my friends’ eyes, I’m doing just fine!"

Looking at him, there was a clear trace of affection in Lan Yue’s eyes.

"Since you were young, because of your personality, you haven’t had many friends around you. I thought you’d never find any close friends, but you actually found some who can tolerate your personality. You must cherish them."

"I know, I know, I’m cherishing them, brother, do you know about the Heisha Sect?"

"I know."

"What about the Demon Sect?"

"I know too."

"What about the White Cloud Sect?"

After Lan Yao finished speaking, Lan Yue’s expression changed.

"White Cloud Sect? Has the White Cloud Sect also taken action? Where did you get the information?"

Hearing this, Lan Yao laughed.

"Brother, turns out your information isn’t as up-to-date as mine. This isn’t from unreliable sources; I personally heard it from Young Master Bai of the White Cloud Sect."

Lan Yao proudly stepped forward and explained the whole sequence of events.

After listening to everything, Lan Yue turned his gaze to Gu Sheng.

"Young Master Gu, is everything my brother said true?"

"Hey! What do you mean by that, don’t you believe your brother’s words?"

Lan Yue ignored him and just looked at Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng stifled a laugh and nodded lightly.

"That’s right, everything he said is true. We saw it with our own eyes and heard it with our own ears."

Hearing a definitive answer from Gu Sheng’s mouth, Lan Yue was overjoyed.

"I didn’t expect Lan Yao to make such progress, even making connections with Young Master Bai from the White Cloud Sect. This is wonderful! Wonderful indeed!"

Saying this, it was as if he suddenly remembered something, and his brows furrowed.

"Didn’t you say Young Master Bai from the White Cloud Sect went to the Demon Sect? Why didn’t you go?"

Hearing his words, Lan Yao rolled their eyes dramatically.

"They went to research the antidote, but we don’t have many herbs, so what’s the use of going? We can’t use spirit grass for the antidote!"

"Spirit grass? You’re talking about Hundred Spirit Grass, right."

"Hehe, I have both spirit grass and Hundred Spirit Grass. Which one do you want?"

Lan Yao directly took out the spirit grass and Hundred Spirit Grass and laid them all out in front of Lan Yue.

Seeing the spirit grass in his hands, Lan Yue was dumbfounded.

He probably didn’t expect that his extravagant and somewhat silly brother had accomplished so much during his time away from the clan!

"Where did you get this from?"

"Chimu Peak, Gu Sheng took me, and he got the spirit grass. Considering I accompanied him, he shared some with me. Didn’t our Elf Clan need it? You take it."
