Chapter 234
Yun Jiao opened her storage bag and took out a talisman. Instantly, all the immortal artifacts in the hall floated into the air, as if drawn by an unseen force. One by one, they neatly flew into the bag in a stream of light.
While collecting them, she casually asked, “How’s the cleanup at the Celestial Master Hall going?” She wondered if the main hall that Feng Xiaohuang had accidentally collapsed was finally repaired.
At her question, Hall Master Xu’s brows furrowed. He let out a long sigh. “Ah! It’s been quite troublesome. Mainly because it’s too hard to clean up. The Celestial Master Hall doesn’t have enough manpower. It’ll take a while to finish. I’ve already informed all sects to send their disciples who aren’t on missions to help. I’d say… maybe in two or three more months we’ll be done.”
“Two or three months?!” Yun Jiao was startled. “It was only half a hall that collapsed! It’s been months already—how is it still not done? And why do you need disciples from other sects? Doesn’t the Celestial Master Hall have thousands of its own?”
“Of course!” He nodded firmly and began listing details. “It’s a bit troublesome, but don’t worry, we’ve already divided the teams. There’s a skinning group, a blood-draining group, a tendon-extraction group, and a formation-sealing group. All are managed by disciples with prior experience—there won’t be any problems.”
“Wait…” Yun Jiao blinked. “What? What does building a hall have to do with skinning and bleeding? What exactly is the Celestial Master Hall doing these days?”
“Collecting materials!” Hall Master Xu replied with complete seriousness. Then, remembering something, his expression turned tired but oddly proud. “Master Yun, you didn’t see it—the size of those fallen immortals once their celestial energy dissipated and they returned to their true forms! Just the nine-tailed fox alone was as big as the main hall itself. It crushed dozens of disciples’ dwellings! We had no choice but to disassemble it. And that black dragon! It nearly flattened half a mountain—it’s a miracle it didn’t fall directly on the Celestial Master Hall. But the fox fur’s excellent quality! The weapon-smithing division said they can turn it into hidden weapon–type immortal tools. Perfect material! And then there’s also—”
Hall Master Xu nearly transformed into Ying Lun, babbling endlessly about all the materials they were gathering—from pelts to celestial bones, and even certain indescribable body parts that already had designated uses. He looked like a weary yet happy shopkeeper preparing for the New Year.
