Chapter 369 Si Chen and Cai Feng
Return to Central Plains?
This is the dream in the hearts of everyone in Tianji Sect.
They lived in a barbarian land, and their lives were miserable.
First, he suffered from acclimatization and vomiting and diarrhea.
After finally getting used to the climate here, resources for cultivation became a problem again.
In the past, there were hibiscus trees, so it was relatively easy for them to practice.
But now... it was very difficult for them to absorb spiritual energy from the air. They could only desperately extend the time of meditation and practice, struggling to extract the occasional wisp or two of scattered spiritual energy in the air.
These spiritual energies are what's left over from the whales.
But for them, it is already a rare delicacy.
But there was too little spiritual energy after all, and their strength decreased instead of increasing, becoming weaker and weaker.
Before, they were able to suppress the Siamese with their strength, but after their strength declined, it became much more difficult for them to do so.
Many Siamese people seemed to have noticed something and were no longer very serious about offering tributes.
As "practitioners", they have always accepted "offerings" from mortals and rarely farm or earn money themselves.
They never had to worry about money.
Just when the Siamese seemed to be about to "rebel", news came from the Song Dynasty that spiritual energy had reappeared.
Master Lu actually opened up the 'quota' of spiritual energy, so that everyone in the entire Song Dynasty can practice it.
Even though they hated Lu Sen to the core, the people from Tianji Sect who heard about this still had to admire Lu Sen's magnanimity.
This person really has a plan for doing things.
Then they ran to the Song Dynasty to get some spiritual energy.
Disguised as Siamese, he moved around the coast of Hangzhou. When his money was almost gone, he returned to Siam to "collect supplies". When he had enough money, he went to hang around the sea off Hangzhou again.
In short, relying on this method and the sect's foundation, their cultivation speed was quite fast, even faster than when they were in Tianji Sect.
But when a person is drifting on the sea, his heart is also swaying.
In addition, they had to pretend to be Siamese, and after a long time, they themselves felt that they no longer looked like Song people.
More and more like barbarians.
Now a new choice lies before them.
Return to Central Plains!
As long as you admit your mistake to Master Lu, everything can be cleared up.
But can it really be uncovered?
They returned to a cave, which was originally a natural cave , and had been transformed by them into a habitable place.
Even with dozens of people living inside, it doesn't feel crowded.
The Tianji Sect held a "meeting" and everyone was indignant and spoke out one after another.
After a round of anger and crying, everyone agreed: return to the Central Plains.
So a few days later, Lu Sen met them in a restaurant in Hangzhou.
Dozens of Tianji sect members sat on the first floor, while on the second floor, Lu Sen and Qi Dong sat at separate tables.
"After so many years, Master Lu still looks like a young man."
Qi Dong looked at Lu Sen's face, full of emotion.
It seemed like five years had passed, and Lu Sen hadn't changed at all, but I... had changed from a handsome young man to a mature man with a weathered face.
The gap between people is really huge.
Lu Sen smiled and said, "Young Master Qi, it's been a long time since we last met. If you hadn't spoken, I would have hardly recognized you."
Qi Dong smiled bitterly and said, "Can I still be called a young hero in my current state?"
"What about Sect Master Qi?"
"That's not a problem." Qi Dong sighed, "I know Master Lu doesn't like to beat around the bush. How can we apologize so that we can return to the Central Plains?"
Lu Sen smiled and said, "Don't listen to my disciple's nonsense. There were indeed some misunderstandings between our two sects before, but it is better to resolve grievances than to create them. What happened in the past is in the past. Why bother to say things like apology?"
Qi Dong sighed inwardly.
The more "generous" the other party was, the more uncertain he felt.
Lu Sen looked at the hesitation on Qi Dong's face and immediately understood the reason. He continued, "But we still need to make some gentleman's agreements."
"Please say."
"People from the Tianji Sect can travel in the Central Plains. The roads to the east, south, west and north are all smooth. However, if there is no need, do not enter Hangzhou City."
Qi Dong took a deep breath and replied, "I can agree to this."
Hangzhou City is the territory of the System Sect, and his Tianji Sect doesn't want to enter at all, so this is exactly what he wants.
"I plan to set up an 'outer sect' to teach some talented children to learn immortal arts." Lu Sen said calmly: "The Tianji Sect will send three geniuses to study in my outer sect. After every year of study in the outer sect, they can return to the Tianji Sect for two years. The future head of the Tianji Sect will be selected from these three geniuses."
Qi Dong's expression suddenly struggled, and he asked, "Proton?"
Lu Sen nodded: "You can say that."
In fact, this is a disguised form of "brainwashing". Children who study in the system gate will always have a tendency towards the system gate, even if they have less time.
If this happens, the grudge between the two sects can be resolved.
"What if the leader of our Tianji Sect doesn't choose from these three people?"
Lu Sen smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, but the spiritual energy that Tianji Sect gets in the future may be much less."
It is not difficult to let the whales control the amount of spiritual energy in certain areas.
Lu Sen’s meaning was actually very clear: You can’t eat the life-saving food I gave you and then turn around and rebel against me.
Qi Dong thought for a long time before nodding and saying, "I understand. I will accept all these conditions. Tianji Sect doesn't ask for much. I just want a place to settle down."
Lu Sen stood up and took out a box from his system backpack.
"We have finished discussing the official business. Now let's talk about personal matters." Lu Sen gently pushed the box towards the other party. "After all, we were good friends. This small souvenir is not a token of respect. Master Qi can rest in Hangzhou for two or three days and then make plans."
After saying that, Lu Sen left.
After Qi Dong waited there for a long time, someone came knocking on the door. It was his fellow disciple.
"Junior brother, I see that Master Lu... has been gone for some time, and you haven't come down yet. I was worried that something happened to you, so I came up to check on you."
Qi Dong opened the box in front of this man, and inside were several bottles of golden honey and some small ornaments.
From Qi Dong's perspective, these accessories are all good things.
The fellow disciple looked at the things in the box for a while before sighing, "Master Lu is really generous."
Qi Dong also sighed.
If the situation were reversed, if their Tianji Sect had an absolute advantage, they would definitely not have such courage.
"Sixth Senior Brother, go tell the other brothers that from now on, our Tianji Sect will never enter Hangzhou unless absolutely necessary." He thought for a moment, and then said, "If you meet someone from the System Sect there, you should avoid them first and don't provoke them."
The sixth senior brother opened his mouth but said nothing in the end. He turned around to convey the master's intention.
Qi Dong sighed deeply, feeling depressed.
He felt a terrible fact deep in his bones: There is a huge difference between him and me, just like the morning star and the colorful phoenix, the long insect and the dragon.
As long as Lu Sen lives in this world, his Tianji Sect will never have any thoughts of competing for supremacy.
Not at all.
At this time, Lu Sen was sitting in the mountain, and Bilian was sitting next to him. She said, "Mr. Zhao just came over and said that the court had an important matter and needed Master Lu to make a decision."
The prefect of Zhao refers to Zhao Zongchu.
If Bilian says that her 'brother' is here, then it is a private and family matter.
Calling him 'Zhao Fuyin' means it's an official matter.
Why is there such a big fuss that a "prince" is needed to come and deliver the message, and he is his own brother-in-law.
