Under the "mad investment" of the entire Qingyun Sect, sparing no expense, Lin Changsheng's path of "Golden Elixir development" became even smoother.

He was like a mad scientist with an unlimited budget, immersed daily in his grand experiments that used the heavens and earth as his furnace and all things as his elixirs. The fortune of Qingyun Sect, which had been slightly waning because of him, not only stopped depleting but became more solid and prosperous with the infusion of countless natural treasures. The entire sect presented a bizarre scene of flourishing prosperity.

This made the Sect Master and the elders even more convinced that their "investment" was entirely correct. They almost regarded Lin Changsheng as the future savior of the sect, eagerly anticipating the earth-shattering miracles this "savior" would bring once he emerged from seclusion.

However, while the Qingyun Sect was in harmony and everyone was lost in beautiful fantasies, a massive storm capable of utterly destroying them was quietly gathering outside the sect.
