Chapter 187 Face
Li Yu and Wu Ming explained that the Sun and Moon Sect was divided into the Sun and Moon Sects. He belonged to the Moon Sect, and the demon girl was his direct boss.
Wu Ming was shocked to find that he had chosen the wrong mountain when he first joined the sect. However, he found that the sect master didn't seem to have any intention of holding a grudge against him, so he slowly calmed down.
It's really strange that they are a couple, they can still divide the family so clearly...
At this time, the Demon Flame Gate.
The top leaders of the Demon Flame Sect have already received the news that the Silver Spirit Cave has fallen.
They never expected that after making sufficient preparations at the Demon Flame Sect and even bringing in the imitation immortal weapon from the Tiandao Sect, the person who controlled the imitation immortal weapon was instigated by the Xuanyin Sect.
Xuanyin taught me so much.
Even in the righteous Kunlun, a realm-breaking pill is hard to come by. Yet, they are willing to use it on an old fellow from the evil path who is about to die. Which Foundation Establishment cultivator who is about to die can resist such temptation?
This is just the beginning.
The sudden emergence of the Sun and Moon Sect made the people in the Demon Flame Sect even more uneasy.
It was fine for those above the Jindan stage, but those below the Jindan stage, especially those elders who were nearing the end of their lifespans and whose cultivation was still stuck at the peak of the foundation building stage, began to leave the sect after hearing that Wu Ming had already formed a golden elixir.
Although they are of no use to the Demon Flame Sect, as long as they go to the Xuanyin Sect, they will immediately become other people's Jindan stage and may become the enemy of the sect.
Naturally, the Demon Flame Sect was unwilling to watch this happen, and the Council of Elders immediately issued a ban, prohibiting elders in the Foundation Establishment stage from leaving the sect without the sect's permission. However, in the process of trying to stop them, the law enforcement disciples came into fierce conflict with those elders at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.
Those foundation-building elders forced their way out of the sect, and several law enforcement disciples died on the spot. Although several peak foundation-building elders who betrayed the sect and fled were soon caught up and killed by a Nascent Soul ancestor, the conflicts within the sect became more and more intense.
Several elders who were at the peak of foundation building and about to return to the abyss, became completely crazy after being intercepted several times, and actually blew themselves up in the place where low-level disciples gathered. This kind of terrible incident happened four times in just two days.
In the secret caves and realms that they had already controlled or were fighting for, many foundation-building disciples surrendered directly and fled to the Xuanyin Sect to join the Sun and Moon Sect. Even the young foundation-building disciples were captured by the traitors and became prisoners.
The Demon Flame Sect did not suffer too much in the disputes among the various sects of the Demonic Path, but was plunged into civil strife because of the Sun and Moon Sect.
In order to prevent the situation from further escalating, they lost both territory and disciples, so they had to recall all the foundation-building period warriors and give up the fight for those low-level cave secret realms.
The emergence of the Sun Moon Sect made it impossible for the majority of the sect's foundation-building elders to be fully trusted. Even if they were still staying in the sect because they did not meet the Sun Moon Sect's conditions, they would almost certainly rebel in the future...
At the same time, Xuanyin Sect.
In recent days, the scene in front of the gate of has also been played out in the Xuanyin Sect.
Hundreds of people in the Foundation Establishment stage gathered near the Xuanyin Sect. Among these people, a large majority were elders from various sects of the Demonic Path who were about to return to the abyss. There were also some who, although they still had a lot of life left, also wanted to join the Sun and Moon Sect in order to seek a chance to form a pill in the future.
The fact that the Saint Lady and the Young Master of Kunlun established a new sect also caused widespread discussion within the Xuanyin Sect.
This incident itself is not new.
Many Nascent Soul masters within the sect also have their own forces outside, and some are even the ancestors of some small and medium-sized sects. This is allowed in all major sects.
Even if these ancestors obtained resources from the Xuanyin Sect to seek personal gain for their own forces, the top leaders in the sect turned a blind eye.
This is the unspoken rule among the top leaders.
But those sects that have existed for dozens or even hundreds of years are undoubtedly worlds apart from the newly established Sun and Moon Sect.
Apart from the ten major sects, other sects would be considered medium if they had one person in the Jindan stage, and having one in the Yuanying stage was even rarer. The disciples of the Sun and Moon Sect were all at the Jindan stage at the lowest level. Even if they did not have a Yuanying master, with hundreds of Jindan masters joining forces, even those in the Yuanying stage would have to avoid their edge.
It is conceivable that it won’t be long before the Sun and Moon Sect surpasses all other sects, and even overtaking the Tiandao Sect is only a matter of time, if we only consider the number of Jindan stage people.
The ordinary disciples of Xuanyin Sect, especially those who were over 200 years old in the Foundation Establishment Stage, were of course ecstatic.
Although there are people forming Dan every day in the Xuanyin Sect in the past few months, they are all young geniuses. To be precise, they are the disciples and descendants of the ancestors who have reached the God Transformation Stage and the Nascent Soul Stage.
With their talents, even if the sect had extra realm-breaking pills, they would not be able to get them.
The emergence of the Sun and Moon Sect undoubtedly brought them hope of forming a golden elixir.
As long as I can cultivate to perfection in building my foundation as soon as possible, I can then go to the Sun and Moon Sect to retire.
After a lifetime of hard practice, they no longer hope to achieve the Nascent Soul stage. If they are lucky enough to form a pill and live to 500 years old, their lives will be worthwhile.
The Yuanying ancestors of the Xuanyin Sect were extremely jealous and envious.
With so many Jindan stage masters, they can roam freely in all the third-level secret realms.
If it were someone else, they would probably use all sorts of means to win these people over to their side.
But as for the Saint, they could only envy her.
After all, the source of those realm-breaking pills was not the saint girl, but the young master of Kunlun. The entire Xuanyin Sect, including themselves, currently had to serve him. Whether the Xuanyin Sect could continue to cooperate with Kunlun in the future, and whether they could refine pills at the cheapest price, all depended on the other party's intentions.
No one would be stupid enough to offend him.
What's more, although the Sun and Moon Sect is not affiliated with the Xuanyin Sect, the Saint is the Saint of the Xuanyin Sect. If the sect is in trouble, she will not stand idly by. They used Li Yu's realm-breaking pill, but it was the Xuanyin Sect that benefited. To be honest, they were the ones who took advantage.
Lingchan Peak.
Li Yu did not make the elixir, but used the spirit snail to contact his friends in other sects of the Demonic Path.
Many foundation-building elders from various demonic sects have already run to the Xuanyin Sect to join them. Although they all don't have many years left to live, Li Yu still asks for their sect's opinions as usual.
Nangong Chan glanced at Li Yu and said, "Those people volunteered. Besides, they don't have many years left to live. Is it necessary to do this?"
Li Yu did not expect her to understand the importance of social etiquette, and said, "Just be the leader of your Yue Sect, and leave these matters to me."
He cleared his throat and said to Lingluo, "Brother Qin, regarding these elders of the Puppet Sect, I would like to ask your Puppet Sect's opinion..."
Puppet Sect.
In the meeting hall, the top leaders of the Puppet Sect were discussing the affairs of the Sun and Moon Sect.
In the past few days, the incident of the Sun and Moon Sect has also caused some commotion within the Puppet Sect. Many elders in the Foundation Establishment stage have left the sect, and the Puppet Sect did not stop them.
They have already heard about what happened in the Demon Flame Sect. Stopping these people from leaving the sect is tantamount to cutting off their lives. In their madness, it is not surprising that they do anything.
Originally, they still felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, these people are disciples of the Puppet Sect. If they can get a realm-breaking pill, they can be promoted to the Golden Core Elders of the Puppet Sect.
Although they knew very well that even if the Puppet Sect had extra Realm Breakthrough Pills, they would not use them on these people, the Sun and Moon Sect just took them away without saying a word, which showed that they did not take the Puppet Sect seriously.
Li Yu's proactive inquiry greatly alleviated the dissatisfaction of the people in the Puppet Sect, and some Nascent Soul ancestors also began to become more active.
“Forget it. These people will soon return to the abyss. They are of no use to the sect. At most, they can be trained into spiritual corpses in the foundation-building stage…”
"Why not send him to the Sun Moon Sect and do him a favor?"
"It is said that the Soul Refining Sect also asked Li Yu to refine pills, and the price Li Yu gave them was extremely low."
“This might be an opportunity.”
"Our Puppet Sect is the first to support their Sun Moon Sect. If we make a request at this time, will he have the nerve to refuse? This is all about human relations..."
"The spiritual medicines in the sect are just piled up. Over time, their efficacy will also be lost. If we use these elders who are about to return to the abyss to exchange for a steady supply of realm-breaking pills in the future, wouldn't that be a win for us?"
“Great!”
…
At Lingchan Peak, the voice of Qin Song from the Puppet Sect came from the spirit conch in Li Yu’s hand.
"Brother Li, the Puppet Sect is extremely grateful to you for taking in these elders of our sect. There are also some disciples in our sect who meet your sect's requirements. I will send them to you..."
"Will it be too much trouble?"
"It's no trouble, no trouble. I haven't seen you for a while. I was just thinking of going out for a drink with Brother Li..."
Li Yu put away the conch, looked at the demon girl, and said, "See, not only did they personally send people here, but they also had to thank us. This is all about human relationships. You should learn it when you have nothing to do. You are the sect leader now..."
Nangong Chan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Anyway, this is our sect, you are enough..."
Li Yu did not force her. If she understood the ways of the world, she would not be a witch. He should be in charge of developing the sect, and she would only be responsible for being beautiful.
Half a day later, a spirit boat from the Puppet Sect hovered above the Xuanyin Sect.
After the Sun and Moon Sect was established, the Puppet Sect not only sent a genius like Qin Song and two Nascent Soul ancestors to come to the Xuanyin Sect to congratulate in person, but it even took the initiative to use spirit boats to send over those foundation-building elders of the sect who met the requirements.
This is undoubtedly a great support for the Sun and Moon Sect.
Some other sects that were still on the sidelines also summoned their elders to discuss the matter.
In order to express his gratitude, Li Yu set up a sumptuous banquet and warmly entertained the members of the Puppet Sect.
The table was full of dishes all made by Xu Yi. He and Ouyang Long had been in the Xuanyin Sect for some time. When the people from the Puppet Sect came, Ouyang Long also brought Xu Yi with him.
Halfway through the banquet, Li Yu raised his glass and said to Qin Song and the two Puppet Sect ancestors: "The Sun and Moon Sect has just been established. Thank you Brother Qin and your sect for your support..."
Qin Song raised his glass in response and said with a smile: "Brother Li, you are too polite. The emergence of the Sun and Moon Sect is a blessing to the world of immortal cultivation. It has given many hardworking cultivators with poor talents a chance to form a pill. I would like to thank you on behalf of the elders of the Puppet Sect."
"Brother Qin, thank you for the compliment..."
"Not at all."
…
Looking at Qin Song's serious expression, Ouyang Long took a big gulp of wine. Qin Song was indeed better at flattering than him. The Puppet Sect was really willing to invest. Why didn't he think of sending those foundation-building elders of the sect who were about to die?
Fortunately, he was able to attend the banquet today, otherwise, he might have been overtaken by the Puppet Sect.
He came here first.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Long smiled and said to Li Yu: "Brother Li, I will send a message to the sect in a moment and ask them to send someone who meets the requirements of the Sun Moon Sect. From now on, the Foundation Establishment Elder of the Soul Refining Sect who is about to die will be in the hands of Brother Li..."
After saying that, he glanced at Qin Song. Since the Puppet Sect was sending people over, their Soul Refining Sect would send people not only now but also in the future.
He is nearly 250 years old and still hasn't formed a Dan. Even if he has, it won't be a big achievement. There is no possibility of achieving Yuanying. It does not involve the core interests of the sect. With his status, he can make the decision without even going through the elders.
Moreover, this is also a good thing for the Soul Refining Sect.
If those ordinary disciples can form elixirs on their own, they will continue to serve the sect. If they cannot form elixirs on their own, the sect will send them to the Sun and Moon Sect so that they can extend their lifespans and enjoy their retirement in peace. Wouldn’t those ordinary disciples be completely loyal to the sect?
This is a win-win situation for the Soul Refining Sect and the Sun and Moon Sect.
Qin Song responded to Ouyang Long with a look. Of course he could see that Ouyang Long was competing with him. To be precise, it was the Soul Refining Sect and the Puppet Sect that were competing. Whichever sect had a closer relationship with Li Yu would undoubtedly get more benefits.
Qin Song did not think for long before he , "To be honest, the Puppet Sect also intends to cooperate with Brother Li for a long time. I wonder what Brother Li thinks..."
The more Jindan stages there are, the more faith there is. Li Yu certainly would not refuse, but on the surface, he still smiled and said, "I accept Brother Ouyang and Brother Qin's kindness first, but I may not have that many realm-breaking pills in my hand. I will have to see the situation at that time..."
Seeing the opportunity coming, Qin Song said at the right time: "Speaking of the realm-breaking pill, in fact, Qin came here this time to make another request. The efficacy of many spiritual medicines in the Puppet Sect is almost lost. I wonder if I can..."
The three giants with the richest resources in the magic world are only missing the Puppet Sect. Li Yu has been waiting for this day for a long time.
He showed a bit of embarrassment on his face, and said: "Originally, I cooperated with the Soul Refining Sect, but there were already some objections from the sect. If we add the Puppet Sect, I'm afraid there will be many people who object..."
Seeing that Qin Song and the two Puppet Sect Yuanyings looked nervous, Li Yu changed the subject and said, “However, Brother Qin and your sect are so supportive of our Sun Moon Sect. If I refuse, wouldn’t it be like not repaying a favor? If the Puppet Sect can agree to restrain its disciples and live in peace with the righteous disciples, I will also have an explanation to the sect and the righteous…”
The two Puppet Sect's Nascent Soul ancestors thought to themselves that the sect's decision this time was indeed correct. This young master of Kunlun was different from those pedantic righteous strongmen. He understood the ways of the world.
Facing his request, before Qin Song could speak, a Yuanying Patriarch of the Puppet Sect said, "Young Sect Leader, don't worry about this. After returning to the sect, I will immediately ask the Elders to push this matter forward..."
"Then I'll trouble you two seniors."
"It should be, it should be..."
As one of the three giants of the demonic sect, Li Yu treated them equally and gave the same price to the Puppet Sect as he did to the Soul Refining Sect. If he treated them differently, although one of the sects would be very happy, the other would definitely feel resentful.
Because of the witch, no one would have any objection even if the Xuanyin Sect favored only one sect.
What surprised Li Yu a little was that the Xuanyin Sect became very lively in the next few days.
After the Puppet Sect, the spirit boats that sent people from several sects such as the Soul Refining Sect, the Joyous Unity Sect, the Blood Yin Sect, the Insect Control Sect, and the Five Poison Sect also came to the Xuanyin Sect one after another. The Sun and Moon Sect became a veritable retirement home for the foundation-building elders of both the righteous and evil sects.
The other several sects of the Demonic Path were already in a state of panic because of the attack from the Demon Flame Sect. The elders who were at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage in the sects were even ready to sacrifice themselves for the sect.
As soon as the news from the Sun and Moon Sect came out, the elders who had been ready to die just a moment ago immediately returned to their caves to pack up their things.
However, the Demon Flame Sect seemed to have withdrawn from those secret cave realms for some reason, and the Demon Flame Sect's foundation-building elders were no longer seen outside, as if they had disappeared overnight.
Then, they learned that the Soul Refining Sect and the Puppet Sect sent their foundation-building elders who were about to return to the underworld to the Xuanyin Sect to join the Sun and Moon Sect.
If they remain indifferent, wouldn't that be disrespecting the Sun and Moon Sect?
There are two leaders of the Sun and Moon Sect, one is the Saintess of the Xuanyin Sect, and the other is the Young Master of Kunlun. Both the righteous and the evil have to give them some face, more or less.
These foundation-building elders only have a few years left to live anyway, so it would be better to do them a favor and improve the relationship at the same time.
The Demonic Path was undergoing a huge change, and the sect was now facing a critical moment of survival. If they could get Li Yu to help them refine some realm-breaking pills at a low price, the sect would be able to have many more Golden Core Stage cultivators, and then everything would be worth it...
