Investment Return System, Start by taking Demon Empress as a Disciple

Chapter 172: Entering the Mountain

Hearing Li Shenruo's thoughts, Chen Daoxuan was willing to give her a chance. However, if the bond between master and disciple had been missed, it had been missed.

But Li Shenruo was, after all, the older sister of his second disciple. Arranging her as a maid wouldn't be appropriate. Since Li Shenruo was determined, it was a good opportunity that might be useful.

With the additional factional power from the system, just the Northern Domain alone could yield a yearly income of a million system points. In comparison to the Northern Domain, if the Eastern Domain were to be brought under control, the income would likely be at least tens of millions of system points annually.

Originally, he had been agonizing over the fact that Yourong, despite holding the title of Eastern Domain's Saintess, couldn't actually unify the region. But now, with Li Shenruo's involvement, this matter would become much easier.

It was akin to Yourong taking the lead in unifying the Eastern Domain. At that time, he could appoint her as a Deacon, responsible for all affairs of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion in the Eastern Domain.

Upon hearing his words, Li Shenruo was momentarily stunned.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master! Pavilion Master, rest assured. Upon returning to the Eastern Domain this time, within one month, no, half a month at most, I will certainly accomplish what the Pavilion Master has said and unify the Eastern Domain!"

Li Shenruo had initially thought that declining Senior Chen's goodwill back then would leave a bad impression on him, which was why she had only dared to suggest joining the Heavenly Dao Pavilion as a maid. However, she hadn't expected that Senior Chen would give her a chance to become a Deacon of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion in the Eastern Domain.

For her, this was a tremendous opportunity. With this status, her goals finally had a chance of being achieved!

As for the condition of unifying the Eastern Domain, in her eyes, it was not a challenge at all. Not to mention the influence of the Holy Mountain in the Eastern Domain.

Just look at Senior Chen's recent actionpersonally descending to the Eastern Domain, casually obliterating a third of the Eastern Domain's forces. Surely, no one in the Eastern Domain would oppose accepting the protection of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion now and becoming an affiliated force.

"Alright, the conditions for the Eastern Domain are similar to the Northern Domain's. All factions must submit twenty percent of their gains annually and enjoy the protection of our Heavenly Dao Pavilion. This Deacon's token is for you in advance. You can leave the mountain now."

Seeing her so confident, Chen Daoxuan was quite satisfied. He conjured a Deacon's token of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion with a casual wave of his hand and tossed it to Li Shenruo.

"Thank you for trusting me, Pavilion Master. Shenruo will not disappoint your expectations."

Li Shenruo held the token respectfully in her hands, her expression extraordinarily serious.

"Yorong, Sister will be leaving first. If you have free time, remember to visit the Holy Mountain. Also, make sure to focus on your cultivation and not just eating, okay?"

Then she turned her gaze to her sister nearby and casually gave her some advice.

"Yeah, I got it. I'll remember to eat more during normal times!"

Li Yourong nodded and selectively filtered out some parts of her sister's words that she didn't like

"Alright, just be happy Fairy Leng, My Sister Yourong has been quite a trouble for you during normal times."

Hearing her sister's words, Li Shenruo twitched at the corner of her mouth and rubbed her temples helplessly. Then she turned to Leng Yanran and cupped her hand in salute.

Leng Yanran nodded slightly.

Afterward, under everyone's gaze, Li Shenruo controlled her flying vessel, set the coordinates for the Holy Mountain, and embarked on her journey. Her figure disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

"Oh no!"

Chen Daoxuan suddenly slapped his thigh, realizing he had forgotten something important.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"Ah? Did something happen?"

Leng Yanran and Li Yourong were startled by their Master's sudden actions, quickly asking.

"I forgot to ask Shenruo if she knows how to cook. At least even if she can only steam rice, she could have steamed a pot of spiritual rice before leaving"

Chen Daoxuan's face was full of regret. Over the past ten days, the spiritual rice in the spirit field in front of the Heavenly Dao Hall had already ripened. Moreover, this time he had used twenty percent of the spiritual rice as seeds, resulting in a harvest that was dozens of times larger.

"Master, how about we find a cook down the mountain?" Leng Yanran thought for a moment and then proposed the easiest solution to the current problem.

"Yes, we can't delay this matter any longer. However, before we leave the mountain, I'll take you deeper into the Illusory Void Mountain. Help Yourong capture some suitable demonic beasts to raise," Chen Daoxuan nodded, but then remembered that he had promised to help Yourong raise some large geese on the mountain. This was a good opportunity to fulfill that promise before leaving the mountain.

"Master, are you going to catch big geese for Yourong? Master is the best!"

Li Yourong's eyes lit up upon hearing her Master's words. She excitedly grabbed her Senior Sister and was ready to head into the mountains to catch big geese.

With the Master leaving, Yu Youwei woke up just in time. The group didn't bother packing anything and headed straight into the depths of the Illusory Void Mountain.

After the group left, the Enlightenment Tea Tree swayed slightly, looking somewhat lonely.

[Master left Chacha behind again.]

[Chacha must work harder and transform soon, so it can be by Master's side!]

On the way, Chen Daoxuan spent two hundred system points to exchange for two spirit beast bags that could store living creatures, giving one to Leng Yanran and one to Li Yourong.

Nowadays, spending two hundred system points didn't even faze him. Looking back, when Yanran first came down the mountain, he couldn't bear to spend a thousand system points to descend. Instead, he opted for a more cost-effective approach, spending just a hundred system points.

It had to be said, life was getting richer and richer!

After walking for half a day, they still hadn't encountered a single demonic beast.

"Tsk, these demonic beasts are too cautious"

Chen Daoxuan noticed the issue and waved his hand slightly to conceal everyone's aura. Only then did they continue deeper into the mountain.

Sure enough, after concealing their auras, it wasn't long before they began encountering various demonic beasts.

Approaching the depths of the Illusory Void Mountain, the lowest level of demonic beasts they encountered were at the Profound Sky Realm. Occasionally, there were even Unity Realm ones.

In the Northern Domain, the Profound Sky Realm was considered a middle-level existence. It was no wonder the entire Northern Domain regarded the Illusory Void Mountain as a perilous place, where no one dared to easily set foot.

"Master, Master, over there! Let Yourong handle it; Senior Sister, don't steal! Over there, over there, caught another one! Master, this demonic beast looks so ugly, should we leave it?"

Li Yourong was excited, and every time she sensed movement, she would rush forward with her spirit beast bag. Those demonic beasts were too startled to resist and were captured instantly.

Meanwhile, an Annihilation Realm demonic beast cowered in a tree hollow, trembling as it watched Li Yourong, who seemed like a little demon, with fear.

It wasn't until the group passed by it that it finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"Hehe, got you!"

Suddenly, Li Yourong grinned as she held her spirit beast bag in front of the tree hollow. The Annihilation Realm demonic beast was so frightened that it nearly died on the spot.
