Chapter 145 Do you understand what I mean?
Yuxu Peak.
Dozens of Nascent Soul masters gathered together and were holding routine meetings for the new month.
There is a lot to discuss today.
All sects, including Kunlun, have planned to abolish spirit coins, but they cannot declare the spirit coins invalid without any warning. After all, everyone in Kunlun, from the Nascent Soul ancestors and Golden Core elders to ordinary disciples, holds spirit coins, and it will take some time to recover the spirit coins in their hands.
Before each sect officially decides on a new currency that will only circulate among the nine righteous sects, Kunlun still needs to launch its own currency as a transition.
Li Yu suggested that the sect could launch a currency that would only circulate within Kunlun, so that Kunlun disciples could use it to exchange for various resources within the sect and continue to use it thereafter, rather than just as a transition.
In this way, no matter how the external world changes, Kunlun’s own monetary system will not be greatly impacted.
As for the new currency introduced between the sects, it is only used for large-value transactions between sects.
This proposal was quickly approved by the elders.
In addition, after consultation with various sects, Kunlun decided to no longer participate in the Immortal Dao Conference held by the Tiandao Sect from the next session.
In the past, the Immortal Dao Conference was undoubtedly an opportunity to demonstrate the strength of the sects, but later on, it became a springboard for some talented disciples of the sect to join the Tiandao Sect. For the major sects, participating in the Immortal Dao Conference has more disadvantages than advantages.
Especially the recent behavior of the Tiandao Sect has completely disregarded the feelings of other sects. No sect can tolerate such humiliation.
If any sect sends disciples to the next Immortal Conference, they will probably be looked down upon by all the sects.
After discussion, the nine sects decided to hold a joint exchange meeting among disciples of each sect every five years at the same time as the Immortal Conference. The content of the exchange meeting would be similar to that of the Immortal Conference, except that the Tiandao Sect would no longer be invited, and the location would be rotated among the sects.
These two things are considered the major events of today.
After that, there were some changes within Kunlun.
The Yao brothers' betrayal made the Kunlun executives realize one thing.
When a sect recruits disciples, it is not enough to have talent alone. Nor can it spend resources on a disciple at all costs just because he has talent. Otherwise, it is very likely that you are training disciples for others. The Yao brothers are a lesson for us.
From today onwards, except for the Heavenly Spiritual Veins, core disciples who want to receive such extraordinary treatment must make huge contributions to the sect, otherwise they can only receive basic resources every month.
In the meeting hall, Wang Daoxuan glanced at everyone and asked, "Everyone, do you have anything else to discuss?"
Seeing that no one spoke, he was about to announce the end of this meeting, when suddenly a voice said, "Master, regarding the Xuanyin Sect's request to Kunlun to send a third-grade alchemist, I have a different opinion."
Wang Daoxuan looked at an old man with a long beard and said, "Brother Guangyuan, if you have any opinions, feel free to speak up."
The old man with a long beard said, "Resources in the big world are scarce now. The spiritual herbs and medicines in the major cave secret realms in Kunlun's hands are also being consumed rapidly. We only need to send a third-grade alchemist to the Xuanyin Sect, and we can obtain three resource-rich cave secret realms. We can refine 30% more low-level elixirs every month. This is extremely cost-effective for the sect."
Wang Daoxuan was a little confused. Last month, in this meeting hall, he strongly opposed this matter. Why did his attitude towards this matter completely reverse today?
He asked, "But the Xuanyin Sect is a demonic sect. If we let the third-grade alchemist of the sect help the demonic sect to make elixirs, wouldn't it be criticized by all the sects and damage the reputation of Kunlun?"
This time, before the old man with the long beard opened his mouth, a middle-aged man stood up and said, "Master, I think that although the Xuanyin Sect is a demon sect, it is different from the other demon sects. It usually acts very low-key and has many cooperations with our sect. This is not a bad idea. We can take this opportunity to make three rules with them and ask them to restrain their disciples and not embarrass our Kunlun disciples outside. I think the disciples of the sect will also support this decision..."
As soon as this statement was made, it was immediately echoed by many people.
"What Senior Brother Zhang said makes sense."
"This will also be beneficial to my Kunlun disciples."
"If any Xuanyin Sect disciple disobeys orders, we will immediately end our cooperation with them."
"That way, no one else can say anything."
…
Looking at these Nascent Soul ancestors, Wang Daoxuan was surprised. What happened in this month? Why did their tone change so drastically in just one month?
But what they said makes sense.
When the Tiandao Sect was still the leader of the righteous path, it was impossible for Kunlun and the Xuanyin Sect to carry out in-depth cooperation. By then, the Tiandao Sect would stand on the moral high ground and raise its arms, and Kunlun would become the target of public criticism.
But now, in order to strengthen itself, the Tiandao Sect has split from the other righteous sects, and they have no control over Kunlun.
Since they have no morals, they naturally cannot occupy the moral supremacy.
It has to be said that the conditions offered by the Xuanyin Sect to obtain a third-grade alchemist are indeed tempting.
Direct resources are only one of the factors. If the relationship with the Demonic Path can be eased, it will also be a good thing with far-reaching impact for ordinary Kunlun disciples.
In fact, Kunlun had his reasons for rejecting the Xuanyin Sect's request, and also had his reasons for agreeing to it. It all depended on the opinions of the Elders' Council.
Wang Daoxuan looked at everyone and asked, "Regarding sending a third-grade alchemist to the Xuanyin Sect, is there anyone who objects?"
The elders looked at each other, and no one spoke.
For some of them, this matter had nothing to do with them. Agreeing to the Xuanyin Sect's request would be beneficial to the sect and to themselves, so there was no reason to object. Moreover, with so many people supporting it, there was no need for them to object.
As for the other part of the people in the hall, the deal with Xuanyin Sect was secondary. They just wanted to find a legitimate reason to get rid of Li Yu temporarily. Otherwise, he would be idle and have nothing to do, and they would be annoyed by him investigating this and that...
We still have to find him something to do.
No one in the elders' group objected, so Wang Daoxuan nodded and said, "In that case, let's settle this. As for which third-grade alchemist will represent Kunlun and go to Xuanyin Sect, do you have any recommendations?"
Many people in the hall were waiting for this sentence.
Patriarch Guangyuan said immediately: "Xuanyin Sect is the largest sect of the demonic path, and it must send out the best of the third-grade alchemists to show Kunlun's sincerity. In my opinion, it is most appropriate to let Junior Brother Li Yu go. First, he is one of the Seventh Son of Kunlun and a disciple of the headmaster, so his status is suitable. Second, his attainments in alchemy are the best under the fourth-grade alchemists. More spiritual medicines for him to practice will help him further improve his alchemy. I believe that soon, we in Kunlun will have another fourth-grade alchemy master..."
His words were righteous and passionate, as if he was doing it for the good of Li Yu and the sect.
At least that's what it looks like.
For alchemists, the more spiritual herbs and medicines they refine, the better. The more spiritual herbs they refine, the more experience they accumulate, and the easier it is to make breakthroughs in their alchemy attainments.
Going to Xuanyin Sect to make elixirs is undoubtedly a good job.
If word gets out, the sect's third-rank alchemists will probably scramble to get there.
Just as Patriarch Guangyuan said, no matter how you look at it, Li Yu is the best candidate to go to Xuanyin Sect.
So, after he opened his mouth, many people echoed him.
"Brother Guangyuan's words make sense."
"There is indeed no one more suitable than Junior Brother Li."
"Apart from him, the other alchemists in the sect may not be able to take on the responsibility."
"He is the right person for this trip."
…
The statements of these Nascent Soul masters were extremely consistent, and apart from Li Yu, no other name was mentioned.
This made several great elders in the late Nascent Soul stage and several fourth-grade alchemists, who had already opened their mouths, close again.
They originally wanted to recommend a third-grade alchemist from their own family or someone they were on good terms with, but the opinions of the elders were surprisingly unanimous, and their reasons were so convincing that if they objected, it would appear that they had ulterior motives.
He wanted to increase the number of third-grade alchemists sent by the sect, but he felt it was inappropriate.
Xuanyin Sect is a demon sect after all. Sending one alchemist is fine, but sending multiple alchemists will have a different meaning. Even the brother sects will suspect that Kunlun is colluding with the demon sect and plotting something big together...
There is no such concern if Li Yu is sent.
As a clear figure in the world of immortal cultivation and the light of righteousness, no one would suspect that he was colluding with the evil ways.
I have to say that he is indeed the most suitable candidate.
However, this is a good thing for other alchemists, but not necessarily for Li Yu.
You know, Li Yu is not only a third-rank alchemist, his talent for cultivation is also incredible. In the Demonic Region, the spiritual energy is thin, and if he spends a lot of time on alchemy, it will inevitably delay his cultivation speed.
For cultivators, cultivation always comes first.
He may not agree.
Wang Daoxuan felt a little emotional. Normally, when encountering such things, these people would definitely argue endlessly. However, today, their opinions were surprisingly unified, without a single objection. This was the first time he had seen this in all the years he had been in charge of the sect.
He turned to look at Li Yu who was standing there and asked, "Are you willing to go to Xuanyin Sect?"
Just now, when everyone was discussing the topic about him, Li Yu remained silent.
At this moment, facing the master's question, he clasped his fists and said seriously: "For the sect, this disciple has no choice but to do it."
Seeing Li Yu's solemn expression and his refusal to refuse, the Yuanying masters felt somewhat touched.
To be fair, they were not doing this for Li Yu's own good, they just wanted to get him away.
For such a genius, such tasks would only affect his practice.
But he had no complaints about this and agreed so readily without any hesitation.
In today's world of cultivating immortals, how many geniuses are there who are willing to sacrifice for their sect?
In comparison, the thoughts of these old guys seem particularly dirty.
As for the Yao brothers, and those geniuses who betrayed their own sect in order to curry favor with the Tiandao Sect, compared with him - no, they are not worthy of being compared with Li Yu at all.
The sect’s resources should be used on disciples like this.
…
After the meeting at Yuxu Peak ended, the news that Li Yu was going to Xuanyin Sect quickly spread among the low-level disciples of Kunlun.
This was also intentional , who even deliberately promoted the spread of the news.
The Xuanyin Sect is a demonic sect, and this is the first time in Kunlun's history that it has engaged in in-depth cooperation with the demonic sect. They cannot completely ignore the opinions of ordinary disciples. Before Li Yu officially goes to the Xuanyin Sect, he should wait and see the public opinion among the disciples.
When the Kunlun disciples heard this, their first reaction was shock.
"What, Senior Brother Li is going to make pills for the Xuanyin Sect?"
"Why?"
" Why should we help the demons make pills?"
"Isn't this aiding the enemy?"
The top leaders of Kunlun had long anticipated that ordinary disciples would have such a reaction and had been prepared for it. They specially arranged some people to be dispersed among the disciples to answer their questions.
"It's like this. The Xuanyin Sect promised us that as long as we send a third-grade alchemist, they will give us three secret caves with rich spiritual medicine resources. At that time, the sect will be able to refine about 30% more low-level elixirs every month. In the future, when you buy hemostatic pills, energy-recovering pills, and vital energy-preserving pills, the price will be cheaper than before..."
"The sect will also sign an agreement with the Xuanyin Sect, prohibiting Xuanyin Sect disciples from attacking Kunlun disciples outside. If there is a violation, cooperation with the Xuanyin Sect will be terminated. This is also beneficial to everyone..."
"This cooperation can also ease the relationship with the Demon Sect. It is a win-win situation for both us and the Xuanyin Sect. It may seem like just a small step taken by Senior Brother Li, but in fact it is a big step to break the ice between the righteous and the demonic..."
"Think about the Tiandao Sect. Over the years, it has become more and more domineering and does not take other sects seriously. No one knows what they will do in the future. Today they rob our disciples, and tomorrow they will dare to rob our Dongtian Secret Realm. Maybe one day they will annex our sect..."
"At a time like this, having one more friend is of course better than having one more enemy. The Xuanyin Sect is the largest sect in the Demonic Path. The sect has a powerful Void Breaker and several Gods. If we make friends with such a large sect, then even if the Tiandao Sect wants to do something to us, they will have to think twice..."
After these people’s explanations, the Kunlun disciples finally understood the sect’s good intentions.
They didn't think so much at all.
In this case, this is naturally a good thing.
But some disciples still asked: "Why is it Senior Brother Li who goes? He is the acting headmaster..."
With Li Yu in Kunlun, ordinary disciples have a backbone. If he goes to the Xuanyin Sect and they have grievances, who can they turn to?
Some disciples who had been arranged in advance were explaining patiently.
"It is precisely because Senior Brother Li is the acting headmaster and has an extraordinary status that his presence can show our sincerity."
"Although this would delay Senior Brother Li's practice, it is said that when the elders decided to let him go, he agreed without hesitation."
"Senior Brother Li is also doing this for the sect and for the Kunlun disciples."
After learning what happened at that time, the Kunlun disciples were deeply moved.
Some female disciples, in particular, felt sorry for him.
"Brother Li has sacrificed too much for us..."
"He really did. I cried to death..."
…
Before Li Yu left Yuxu Palace, he felt the strong power of faith filling the entire Kunlun Cave Heaven.
The Qiankun Furnace in his body was running wildly, absorbing all of this power.
Li Yu felt a little emotional. If more than 90% of his strength had not been absorbed by the alchemy furnace, this power of faith would at least allow his golden elixir to reach the second level.
If he leaves the sect temporarily, he will no longer be able to absorb the power of faith, but Li Yu is not worried.
After these days of practice, he has a very good understanding of this power.
Faith is accumulated and will not disappear just because he leaves the sect. If he walks around the sect every day, he can absorb a little bit every day. If he retreats for ten days and then appears in front of the disciples, he will absorb the power of faith accumulated in these ten days.
After leaving the sect for a period of time, the total amount of faith power generated during this period will not change.
When he arrived at the Xuanyin Sect, he could practice with magical herbs and medicines.
Behind Yuxu Peak, when Li Yu and Qin Keren were learning magic, Wang Daoxuan came over and asked, "Have you really decided to join Xuanyin Sect?"
Li Yu said: "It's just right for me to have more materials to practice with. Besides, the ancestors have said so, so I can't refuse."
Wang Daoxuan nodded and said, "In the entire sect, there is indeed no one more suitable than you."
He patted Li Yu's shoulder gently and said, "Although the Xuanyin Sect is a demonic sect, you don't have to worry. When you arrive there, you will be their most distinguished guest. If you are wronged, I will send someone to pick you up at any time..."
Although this was a comfort to Li Yu, Wang Daoxuan was actually not worried at all that Li Yu would be wronged in the Xuanyin Church.
Not to mention anything else, just his status as the number one third-grade alchemist, any sect in the demonic world would worship him like an ancestor no matter where he went.
Taking back his hand from Li Yu's shoulder, Wang Daoxuan said, "Actually, this time, you go to Xuanyin Sect for more than just one mission, refining pills."
Li Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Anything else?"
He felt a little unsure as he actually had a special mission on this trip. To some extent, he was originally an undercover agent of the Xuanyin Sect. The sect would not let him go undercover in the Xuanyin Sect, right?
But what could he do, poison the pill?
Wang Daoxuan didn't know what Li Yu was thinking, so he asked, "What do you think of the Saintess of Xuanyin Sect?"
Li Yu thought for a moment and said, "Arrogant, willful, unreasonable..."
Wang Daoxuan waved his hand and said, "It's normal for girls to be willful. I mean other aspects, such as appearance, figure, talent, etc...."
Li Yu didn't even need to think about these things, and said: "Ms. Nangong's appearance is naturally beyond words, the best of the best, and her figure is also pretty good, not to mention her talent. Apart from Senior Sister Qin, who else in the world of immortal cultivation can compare with her talent..."
Wang Daoxuan smiled. It seemed that Li Yu’s aesthetic taste was normal.
He stroked the short beard on his chin and said in a low voice: "Every time she comes to Kunlun, she will definitely look for you. She must have some other thoughts about you in her heart. You just said that her talent is only comparable to others. Her future achievements will at least be the transformation of the spirit, and there is a great possibility that she will break through the void. Such a genius should have belonged to our Kunlun. If she can return to our Kunlun, it would naturally be the best..."
He looked at Li Yu and asked, "Do you understand what I mean?"
