I Can Extract Everything - Chapter 116: Arrive At The Monkey Town

The Eleventh Elder frowned and said, “What exactly are they planning? Don’t they realize that attracting beast tides is only damaging themselves? After all, Ancient Dragon City is the city they live in…”

The First Elder pulled at his long beard softly and said, “Isn’t that obvious? They’re trying to test our reaction. With the sect’s reputation constantly declining and the Sect Master has been missing for twenty years, the ropes tied tightly around their necks gradually become loose. Eventually, they also begin to reveal their poisonous fangs to us…”

“Thousands of years ago, our sect’s main city was Rising Dragon City, and so our reign over Ancient Dragon City was lax enough to the point that we allowed all influences in that city to do as they please. But after we took over Ancient Dragon City, the various lords of the city strangely stayed quiet without showing the slightest bit of rebellion. It’s as if they are submissive and loyal subordinates to their master. But in reality, they’re just bidding their time for this moment.”

“I see. We are in terrible decline, and there is no news of the Sect Master’s whereabouts. So, this is the perfect time to create chaos and find an opportunity to take the city back from our hands.” The Fifth Elder summed it up.

“So that’s how is it. But I still don’t understand. Why are they trying to use the beast tide to achieve their goal? As the Guardians of the Clan of Ancient Dragon City, they will be the ones who will receive the most damage from this incident-”

Before The Seventh Elder could finish his sentence, the Fifth Elder suddenly interrupted him.

“You are wrong. Even though the Five Guardian Clans are responsible for protecting Ancient Dragon City, the only ones who will take the most damage will be us because we are the true masters of the city. If we lose to beast tide this time, our sect’s reputation will be completely sunk to the bottom of the ocean, and we may be removed from the list of Great Sects. If that happens then, another great trouble will arise.”

The Seventh Elder tilted his head in confusion and asked, “What kind of great trouble?”

“The Sleeping Dragon Sect is surrounded by many greedy wolves. As soon as our sect falls into a disadvantageous situation, they will quickly surround us and rob us of our territory and resources. The worst thing is they will probably march forward to this mountain and attack our sect. While we are busy fending the enemy attacks, the Five Guardian Clans will take that opportunity to eradicate the remaining beast tide and take control of Ancient Dragon City. They might split themselves to attack our sect at the same time.” The Fifth Elder explained solemnly added.

“Don’t underestimate the power of the Five Guardian Clans. They’ve saved up their strength for thousands of years for this moment. Even without our assistance, they might easily be able to wipe out the beast tide that they created themselves. They’re just trying to take one step back to leap ten steps forward.”

Instantly, the atmosphere in the Sky Dragon Pavilion turned heavy.

“What should we do? It seems that we have no other choice but to fight.” The Seventh Elder said blankly.

The Fifth Elder sighed and said, “You overthink. Although they are great, they are still too naive to think they can easily take down our sect. When the First Elder says that they are clowns, then they are truly clowns. Don’t forget that the Sleeping Dragon Sect only declines on the surface. In reality, we are just sleeping Dragons. If they dared to disturb the sleeping Dragon, it was only natural that the Dragon would wake up. This is the part where the Five Great Clans miscalculated.”

“Well said,” The First Elder nodded in acknowledgment. He coldly said, “If the Five Great Clans want to destroy their city that badly, then just let them be. We will watch it from the sideline until the end.”

The Eleventh Elder worriedly said, “But people might think we are cowards and irresponsible…”

The other High Elders also nodded as they were worried that their sect’s reputation would be deteriorating further.

The First Elder laughed and said slyly, “Of course, I also thought about this possibility. But don’t worry because I have a plan… this and that…”

The other High Elder kept listening to the First Elder’s plan and occasionally nodded their heads excitedly as they more or less agreed with this cunning scheme.

Over the next hour, they discussed plans and countermeasures for these future events that were likely to occur.

An hour later, as the meeting was about to close, the First Elder suddenly reminded the Fifth Elder.

“Fifth Elder, Sky Origin Secret Realm is about to open soon. I hope you can order one of the core disciples to lead the outer sect disciples to go there!”

“I will keep that in mind, First Elder!”

***

Above the sky, a piece of white cloud floated forward among the clouds while carrying a black-cloaked man.

That black-cloaked man is none other than Qin Yi.

About fifteen minutes later, he landed in front of the main gate of a town.

According to the information Qin Yi had gathered along the way, this small town should be Monkey Town.

People were waiting in line in front of the gate, and the guard was busy registering them. However, none of them realize that a presumptuous individual had simply brushed past them and entered the town just like that.

Yin Cheng suddenly spoke through the shadows, “Master, no one noticed you.”

Qin Yi walked casually and said, “Well, my cloak can reduce my presence, and all of the people just now were only Qi Condensation Realm, so it’s only natural that they couldn’t notice my existence.”

On top of that, he also used the Turtle Breathing Technique; that’s even more reason for them not to notice his presence.

“That’s an interesting cloak, Master.” Yin Cheng admired.

“Unfortunately, it’s useless against you.” Qin Yi said with a wry smile.

“Master, why don’t you try upgrading its grade? I’m sure that I, too, would have a hard time noticing your presence if you upgrade your cloak to Spirit Artifact.” Yin Cheng gave a suggestion.

“Upgrades?” Qin Yi was startled.

“Yes, Master.” Yin Cheng explained, “The artifact can be upgraded, but only Refiners who have reached Rank 3 can do that. However, I doubt that Rank 3 Refiners can be found in a small place like this…”

Qin Yi fell into a trance.

He also has the potential to become a Refiner. His Secondary Profession Alchemist had almost reached Rank 2, so it was time for him to start learning the second Secondary Profession.

Since his Spiritual Mind has reached 95, his understanding of other Secondary Professions will be easier and faster.

Not long after, Qin Yi arrived at an inn. He went inside and asked the receptionist to get him a vacant room.

However, he didn’t go straight to the room as he intended to go for a walk around the town first and do a lot of extractions.

Even though Monkey Town was only a small town, it was filled with many Qi Condensation Realm cultivators.

They are just right to be Qin Yi’s points breeder.

“Yin Cheng, go and gather information about Monkey Mountain!”

When Qin Yi saw Gao Peng and Murong Qian Jun’s strange expressions that day, he knew something was wrong with this Monkey Mountain.

Sister Qiao said that this mission was not life-threatening. But still, Qin Yi did not want to enter the mountain without preparation and reliable information.

“I will give you three days before we gather at this inn again. If possible, I would also like you to gather information about the whereabouts of the Mystic Beasts and rare heaven and earth materials.” Qin Yi said as he took out a space bag and threw it into his shadow.

“Take it!”

Yin Cheng instantly caught it with his hand that popped out of the shadow. However, when he checked the contents of the space bag, he was taken aback.

5000 low-grade spirit stones?

He came out of the shadows and couldn’t help but say, “Master, this is too much to buy information-”

“You can use the rest for whatever you want to do.” Qin Yi said generously and added, “Also, as my subordinate, don’t always be surprised by a small amount of money because money is the last thing I would worry about. Alright, you may go!”

Yin Cheng’s mouth gawked slightly.

What an overbearing master.

Is his master is actually a local tyrant?
