Celestial Venerable Hongxuan hurriedly said, "Gu Feng Immortal, have you seen clearly that someone has taken..." He glanced around and whispered, "This is no small matter. It concerns the entire transport system, hundreds of factions, and the reputation of thousands." Gu Lan looked at him, her tone unchanged, "I am certain, it was taken by someone." Celestial Venerable Hongxuan asked again, "Then can Gu Feng Immortal understand who took it and how?" Gu Lan replied, "This should be the responsibility of Tuo Mountain to investigate. My task is only to figure out what happened to these materials, you are the main person in charge." Celestial Venerable Hongxuan waved the duster slightly and straightened his posture, "To be honest, Gu Feng Immortal, this batch of materials had issues a year ago. Tuo Mountain suspected that someone had taken the spiritual energy, but after various investigations, no traces were found. Many Immortal Farmers who came to confirm said they couldn’t see any signs of forced spiritual energy extraction. However, Gu Feng Immortal insists on this reason, what is your basis?" Gu Lan remained calm, "The spiritual energy of spirit plants and spirit beasts comes from nature, and through the directional cultivation of the Immortal Farmer Skill, they exhibit corresponding effects. If the spiritual energy naturally dissipates, it will leave distinct traces of dissipation that can be easily observed. I believe Celestial Venerable is aware of this common knowledge. The varieties I improved have a natural Daoist barrier that can effectively prevent the loss of spiritual energy. But the Daoist barriers of these materials have all been destroyed." "Perhaps the varieties cultivated by Gu Feng Immortal are unstable?" Celestial Venerable Hongxuan suggested. Gu Lan paused, then furrowed her brow, "These varieties have been improved and verified for over ten years. Apart from here, there have never been any issues." "But we did not find any signs of someone taking it by force." "That’s Tuo Mountain’s business." "Gu Feng Immortal, you can’t make a single remark and tarnish the reputation of Tuo Mountain and hundreds of factions, thousands of people. We transported so many materials, and only this batch from He Yue Village has issues." Celestial Venerable Hongxuan squinted his eyes and said, "Whose problem is it really?" Gu Lan furrowed her brows, "What do you mean, Celestial Venerable?" Beside her, Song Weiyu sensed the tension and quickly grabbed Gu Lan, "Lan’Er, don’t be rude." Gu Lan’s tone grew heavier, "Master, how am I being rude? Isn’t Tuo Mountain trying to shift their problem of materials’ supervision onto us in He Yue Village?" Celestial Venerable Hongxuan said solemnly, "Tuo Mountain does not intend to shirk responsibility, but follows the principle of whoever asserts must prove. How could one baseless statement unjustly accuse innocent people? Gu Feng Immortal surely knows that the transport of materials to the Fallen Immortal Land is strictly checked by the White Jade Capital and Wenxin Celestial City! The Taiping Continent, once ravaged by the Demon Dao, is barren and difficult, suffering from the Fallen Immortal Land’s ravages, facing chaos all around, countless people are homeless, and many cultivators unable to progress. How can Gu Feng Immortal damage the hearts of the people of Taiping Continent with just one sentence?" Gu Lan was startled, she never imagined that this Celestial Venerable of the Daoist School would speak such grand words, making it seem as if she was being unreasonable, disregarding the safety of Taiping Continent. Celestial Venerable Hongxuan added, "Perhaps Gu Feng Immortal, being immersed in fertile fields for a long time, does not understand these matters. Immortal Master Song, please kindly explain it to her well." Song Weiyu understood clearly what was implied. Although she was discontented at heart, she wouldn’t want such a large hat of disrupting Taiping Continent’s unity to fall onto her disciple’s head. She quickly transmitted through Divine Soul Communication, "Lan’Er, calm down. This matter involves too much, it’s best not to escalate it rashly. Taiping Continent is currently under worldwide attention, avoid becoming the target of all criticism. You still have to prepare for the Great Prosperity Festival fifty years later, striving to directly gain the Great Feng Immortal’s Stele, don’t let this stain your record." Gu Lan looked blankly at her master, she couldn’t understand why, when the situation of the Taiping Continent was so tense, such an issue could arise in the rear. And why, when a problem surfaced, there was no thorough investigation, instead, efforts were made to shift blame. Could such logistics win a war? She believed that if this could happen once, it could happen a second time. She couldn’t accept her painstakingly cultivated and improved crops ending so dismally. Song Weiyu, considering her disciple’s wellbeing, held her hand tightly, advising her not to act rashly. The implications of this matter concerned not only the three present but also Tuo Mountain, Taiping Continent’s logistics system, He Yue Village, and many other material providers, even more beyond that. In wartime, internal disputes must be avoided, internal disputes must be avoided! Gu Lan felt wronged, her nose began to tingle, she pursed her lips tightly... Actually, she had a way to prove that those materials were indeed stripped of spiritual energy by force, just needed to use the Evolutionary Dao to replay history briefly. But at this moment, she also knew, even if she spoke the truth, the truth might not reach everyone. This big hat of disrupting unity, she didn’t care, but what if it involved He Yue Village, or even implicated the Eternal Immortal Sect behind her? She knew the Eternal Immortal Sect was now in a fast development phase, with the Daoist School being its biggest supporter. Celestial Venerable Hongxuan looked at her, like looking at a little lamb, "Gu Feng Immortal, what exactly is the issue, can you ascertain it?" Gu Lan looked at Song Weiyu, the latter’s eyes full of heartache. Song Weiyu didn’t want her disciple to bear this pressure, she communicated, "You step aside, let me handle it." Gu Lan’s heart trembled, she understood, her master wanted to shoulder the responsibility for her. No, I won’t allow it! "Listen to reason." Song Weiyu showed a gentle smile, communicated, "You are meant to become Great Feng Immortal, how can you be easily frustrated." Gu Lan felt incredibly distressed. She remembered when she said she wanted to become Great Feng Immortal, her master supported her unconditionally, accompanying her for more than twenty years in the wilderness, braving all weather. She was able to study the Immortal Farmer Skill freely due to her master’s support. Now, should I let my master take the burden for me to move forward? Yet at that moment, A young Daoist hurriedly ran in and said to Celestial Venerable Hongxuan: "Mountain Master, the Human World Executor Dao from Wangxian Pavilion has arrived." Celestial Venerable Hongxuan’s expression changed slightly, urging the two, "You two, have you figured it out yet?" Gu Lan stepped forward, spoke firmly, "This is a significant issue, not to be judged lightly, it wouldn’t be good for any side to be wronged, doesn’t the Celestial Venerable agree?" Celestial Venerable Hongxuan gave her a deep look, said nothing, and hurried off to receive the Human World Executor Dao.
