Chapter 283 Reservation of Candidates
This sentence confused everyone present, especially Lin Yumu. She sat there with her hand holding the teacup suspended in the air.
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? You still have a long time." Lin Yumu looked at Lin Changfeng, stood up and spoke hurriedly.
Lin Changfeng waved his hand and said, "I have been in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul for a long time, and there has been no progress in breaking through. Now the deadline is approaching, and I have to go into seclusion from now on."
Chen Li was shocked when he heard the words "closed in seclusion". It seemed that Lin Changfeng's idea was very clear.
Entering the cave to practice, one must destroy in order to build. If successful, one can break the body's decline and continue to survive.
But if he fails, he will die. I'm afraid that this time, Lin Changfeng is already prepared.
"Since this is what the sect master wants, why do you need me to come here?" This is what Chen Li cares about. He is just an elder of the Nanli Sect. Why does Lin Changfeng need to call him here?
Lin Changfeng took a sip of tea and continued, "That's because I hope you can serve as the next leader of the Nanli Sect."
Chen Li stood up suddenly and looked at Lin Changfeng in disbelief, "Sect Master, you want me, an outsider, to take this position?"
In his opinion, he was just a disciple who entered from the outer gate and had nothing to do with them.
If you want to choose, there are plenty of people available, such as Luo Chen, who has devoted himself to the Nanli Sect, or Xiao Yuan.
Both of them are very good candidates, but why did Lin Changfeng choose me?
"I know what you are thinking. In fact, I have already talked to Elder Xiao and others about this before, but they rejected me in the end and unanimously recommended you to me." Lin Changfeng looked at Chen Li and said solemnly.
In fact, Lin Changfeng was also very clear that Xiao Yuan and Luo Chen had devoted their lives to the Nanli Sect, but it was a pity that they did not care about the position of sect leader.
It's not that he doesn't care, but in fact he thinks he is simply not qualified for this position. Now that the Jiuzhou continent is in chaos, a strong man is naturally needed to guard the Nanli Sect.
Luo Chen thought that he was not strong enough, so he declined the position. Xiao Yuan already knew Chen Li's cultivation level, so he recommended Chen Li.
Chen Li sat down slowly, smiling bitterly. For a moment he didn't know what to say, he just stood there in a daze.
After thinking for a moment, he continued, "I'm sorry, but with my qualifications, I'm afraid I'm not qualified for this position."
The reason why he chose to refuse was not because he was not strong enough, but because he was not suitable for this position.
To become a sect leader is not just a title. You also need to deal with various complicated matters and build connections between the major sects.
Although Chen Li has achieved great accomplishments, he is probably not even as good as Lin Yumu when it comes to managing the sect.
Hearing what Chen Li said, Lin Changfeng sighed. It seemed that this idea had ultimately failed.
"Although I refuse, please rest assured, Sect Master. I, Chen Li, will never give up Nanli Sect. If Nanli Sect is in trouble, I will definitely be the first to rush to the front." Chen Li looked at Lin Changfeng solemnly and said.
Lin Changfeng stroked his beard and nodded, "I feel relieved with your words."
Although Chen Li refused the position of sect leader, he was very clear that with Chen Li's fighting power, Nanli Sect would probably have no problems for the next hundred years.
Finally , Lin Changfeng looked at Lin Yumu and said, "Yumu girl, I'm afraid the future of Nanli Sect will depend on you."
Several elders have refused, and the only one left is his granddaughter. However, he just wants Lin Yumu to practice peacefully and stay away from these trivial matters. In the end, he still chooses to put this important task on her.
Lin Yumu's eyes were red at this time. She knew that she couldn't be willful at this time, so she could only nod stubbornly and said to Lin Changfeng: "Grandpa, I will wait for you to come out of retreat. When you come out of retreat, I will return the position of sect leader to you."
It can be seen that Lin Yumu has taken on this position, and I'm afraid she will be busy for some time to come.
Although Lin Yumu's talent in alchemy is outstanding, she has no fighting ability after all.
"In that case, then Chen Li, please obey my orders." Lin Changfeng slowly stood up and looked at Chen Li seriously.
Chen Li immediately bowed and replied solemnly: "Chen Li is here."
"I appoint you as the grand elder of Nanli Sect, and you will assist the next sect master. You can interfere in any affairs of the sect. Are you willing?" Lin Changfeng waved his hand, and a token made of jade appeared in the air.
Feeling this extremely powerful pressure, Chen Li's expression remained unchanged, and he replied solemnly: "Chen Li is willing."
Afterwards, the jade token appeared in Chen Li's hand, and a sense of consciousness merged into it. He knew all the secrets of the Nanli Sect.
"Elder Chen, from now on, the management of Nanli Sect will be in the hands of you and girl Yumu." As he said that, Lin Changfeng slowly walked forward.
His figure quickly disappeared, and it was obvious that he was planning to go into seclusion.
Watching Lin Changfeng's figure disappear, Lin Yumu looked at the sect leader's order in his hand, with a sad look on his face.
Chen Li did not comfort her, because he did not know how to comfort people, he could only say lightly: "Wait until he comes out of confinement."
These four simple words made Lin Yumu look up in a trance, and then nodded heavily, "Yes, I have to wait for Grandpa to come out of seclusion."
During the following period of time, Chen Li continued to practice in Lingyun Peak, and the sect also held a ceremony to appoint a new sect leader during the celebration time.
Although Lin Changfeng did not appear, everyone respected Lin Yumu. After all, the new sect leader was also a powerful man in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
However, what they didn't know was that the new sect leader only had great skills but was unable to fight. If they knew about this, there would probably be chaos.
One morning, Chen Li was absorbing spiritual energy at the top of a mountain, but he saw a man in black appear behind him.
"Great Elder, the sect leader invites you." The man in black said to Chen Li very respectfully.
Chen Li nodded, did not continue speaking, and disappeared from the man's sight.
Half an incense stick later, in the sect's main hall, Chen Li looked at the empty place and couldn't help but hold his forehead. It seemed that the girl was now in the bamboo forest.
So he did not hesitate, but walked forward. The guards who were observing secretly did not stop him, as if they did not notice Chen Li.
Because they knew very well that Chen Li was now the sect's grand elder and had the same authority as the sect master, and stopping him would be tantamount to seeking death.
After entering the bamboo forest, Chen Li saw a girl sitting in the pavilion with a lot of scrolls in her hands.
"Master Sect Leader, are you so busy?" Chen Li walked over and smiled softly.
Lin Yumu looked at the scrolls in front of him, almost exhausted physically and mentally, "Too many things have been piled up recently. It will probably take a long time to deal with them completely."
"So you asked me to come here to help you deal with these trivial matters?" Chen Li asked again.
Lin Yumu shook his head and threw a scroll to Chen Li.
After taking the scroll, Chen Li's consciousness had already merged into it, and four big words suddenly appeared in it.
Sect ranking, these four words made Chen Li's face become solemn. It seemed that Lin Yumu was going to let him handle this matter.
"You want me to deal with this sect ranking?" Chen Li looked at Lin Yumu and asked.
Lin Yumu nodded: "Now you are the only one with strong strength, so I can only let you hold the scene."
This time, the sect ranking will not only require fighting between disciples, but also fighting between elders.
Since Chen Li is so powerful, Lin Yumu will certainly not miss the opportunity .
Chen Li nodded, "In that case, let me handle the selection this time."
"Okay, there are a total of five disciples and two elders who need to participate in the battle this time. You can choose them." Lin Yumu said calmly.
As for the other disciples, they just went to watch the competition and gain some insights, just like when they were in Lin Yunzhou.
Chen Li understood what he meant and turned around and left. He knew that Lin Yumu still had a lot of things to do, so it would be better not to disturb her.
After leaving the sect hall, Chen Li began to think about the quota for disciple selection, which was a very important matter.
At this moment, a cold voice came into Chen Li's ears: "What are you thinking about?"
Chen Li was not surprised, but replied calmly: "The sect rankings, the elders who need to participate have been booked, and the only thing missing is the disciples."
"It seems that you are planning to let Elder Xiao and I participate in this?" Bai Xueyin walked to Chen Li and asked.
Chen Li shook his head. "My master is not participating. The only elders participating this time are you and me."
Bai Xueyin's strength is still very intimidating. Given Xiao Yuan's personality, he probably won't participate in these battles and will only choose to guard Nanli Sect.
Although the places for elders have been reserved, the places for disciples are a bit troublesome.
"If you are worried about the number of disciples, you might as well let my disciple follow." Bai Xueyin said.
Chen Li was a little surprised, "I didn't expect that you would accept a disciple."
"I accepted one a long time ago, but his talent is not as good as your disciple's." Bai Xueyin said.
Chen Li didn't think much about it, but just nodded, "Take me to see the qualifications of your disciple first."
Bai Xueyin did not refuse, but turned around and led Chen Li away.
After walking out of here, they soon arrived at Chiyun Peak. Chiyun Peak was different from Lingyun Peak. There were many disciples practicing here, so it was not so deserted.
"It seems that you, Chi Yunfeng, have quite a few disciples." Chen Li looked at these disciples and said in surprise.
Bai Xueyin answered as he walked, "Although I like quietness, I still have to do my part to cultivate the fighting power of the Nanli Sect."
Chen Li was speechless. It sounded like she was saying that he had not added any combat power to the Nanli Sect.
But these are no longer important. Instead, it was the crisp sound that made Chen Li's face reveal a look of surprise.
"It seems that this should be your apprentice." Chen Li looked at the arena not far away. A young girl was waving a long sword in her hand, and each sword carried an icy sword energy.
Although the sword intent on his body was not very strong, he had such sword intent in the middle stage of the Golden Core, which made him a very powerful disciple indeed.
"I have just broken through to the middle stage of Golden Core recently, so my foundation is not very stable." Bai Xueyin replied.
Chen Li shook his head. "The foundation is a minor issue. Although her cultivation is strong, judging from her sword moves, I'm afraid she has never seen blood."
Although the sword moves were powerful and fierce, there was no killing intent in each and every move; they were just swinging in the air.
Bai Xueyin nodded, "Because when she was accepted as my disciple, she was always immersed in seclusion and never went out for trials."
Even though he had learned many of her moves, he didn't have any killing intent, which was probably not going to work.
"In that case, why not wait for my disciple to come out of seclusion and then let her train with us?" Chen Li turned his head with a smile on his face.
Bai Xueyin was a little dazed. Although Yin Yuehan was a calm girl, the hidden cruelty inside was really scary.
The reason why Yin Yuehan is like this is probably because of Chen Li's teaching.
