Chapter 402 Push, conditions
Wei Zhong did not reply immediately, but rejected Yang Bao and Luo Muxue, wanting to carefully consider the pros and cons.
Not long after the two left, someone came to the door again.
"Ye Pingchun of Chunting Hall, come and pay homage!"
When Wei Zhong heard this somewhat familiar name, he instantly recalled what the other party had done.
"You see that I have refined the seventh-level middle-grade elixir, so are you scared?"
Wei Zhong opened the cave formation to greet him, and Ye Pingchun appeared in Wei Zhong's eyes wearing a green Taoist robe.
“I’ve met Senior Ye!”
The latter is also a Hedao elder after all, and Wei Zhong will not lag behind in basic etiquette.
"You're so polite, little friend Five Colors. Being able to refine a seventh-level mid-grade elixir at such an age puts old guys like me to shame.
"You and I just call you Taoist friend."
The other party's attitude was gentle, and it seemed that he came with the intention of apologizing.
Wei Zhong invited him to enter the cave. The latter sensed the spiritual energy in the cave and sighed:
"The Sixth-level Cave Mansion really feels a little wronged to fellow Taoist Five Colors."
Wei Zhong shook his head slightly and smiled:
"Although this cave is a bit crude, it is enough for me.
Putting on the tea set, Wei Zhong said bluntly:
"I wonder why Fellow Daoist Ye is here today?"
The latter replied:
"First, I heard that my Taoist friend has refined a seventh-level mid-grade elixir, so I came to congratulate you.
"In addition, I am here to apologize because I am mobilizing the elixir of Chiyang Palace and occupying the share of fellow Taoists of Five Colors."
After that, he took out a storage bag and pushed it in front of Wei Zhong.
"There are some elixirs collected in the past few days. Friends of Five Colors may wish to take a look."
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhong used his spiritual consciousness and immediately saw many sixth- and seventh-level elixirs from within.
This is not the most critical, most of these elixirs are needed to refine the Heavenly Burning Spirit True Pill.
The part in Wei Zhong's hand, plus some in this storage bag, has collected 90% of the elixirs needed for the entire elixir recipe. With only the last bit left, Wei Zhong has collected all the elixirs and can start the elixir.
"These elixirs are purely my apology and congratulations to fellow Taoists for refining the elixir. They are not included in the share of elixirs given by this sect. Fellow Taoist Five Colors, please accept them with peace of mind."
Don't take advantage of the bastard, so Wei Zhong accepted the other party's apology with peace of mind.
Reply:
“Young Daoist Ye spent a lot of money!”
The latter maintained a smile on his face, but in fact his heart seemed to be bleeding.
These elixirs were obtained by the latter at a high cost.
He had spent a lot of favors and spiritual stones, but now he had to give it up to Wei Zhong, how could he not feel heartbroken?
But no matter how heartbroken he is, he has to endure it.
Wei Zhong's refining of this middle-grade elixir is enough to prove that he is a rising star within the Five Elements Immortal Sect.
A few streets ahead of their group of veteran alchemists.
There is even hope of attracting the attention of the eighth-level alchemist inside the door.
‘That person is a promising Mahayana being. You can’t mess with him, you can’t mess with him...’
It has to be said that Ye Pingchun has been in the Five Elements Immortal Sect for thousands of years, and his sense of smell is still sharp enough.
Even Wei Zhong had guessed that Feng Yunyao was watching him.
Because of this speculation, he did not hesitate to come to the door in person to give gifts to apologize.
The level of smoothness is no less than that of casual cultivators practicing outside.
He didn't stay much longer, he just boasted to Wei Zhong after apologizing, and then left.
Wei Zhong looked at the latter's departing cyan light and rubbed his chin:
"It seems that the effect of refining the middle-grade elixir is far beyond my imagination. Elder Hedao is so humble in front of me. How can he be able to refine a high-grade elixir with us as equals?"
Wei Zhong shook his head slightly, closed the cave formation, and flew away from this place.
Wei Zhong still needs to think carefully about Yang Bao's proposal, so he needs to listen to the voices of other monks in the sect.
After a while, Qin Zhihui, Yao Zichen, Le Xinghai, Yang Bao and others sat in a circle.
After hearing Yang Bao's suggestion, they all came up with their own ideas.
"It is a good thing to join a clan, but the restrictions are also quite large, but if Brother WuSe can take the initiative in his hands, it will be really different."
Le Xinghai grabbed his beard and stated.
It has been a thousand years since he joined the Yu family. His life is neither good nor bad, but apart from himself, he has no time to take care of his own family.
Even his ancestor Lelin needed a level-breaking elixir, but he couldn't get it. He was really living a useless life.
Yao Zichen seemed very interested in joining the Luo family:
"It's a good thing. With Brother Wuse's current power, a mere Luo family can still suppress him. There is no Hedao in the opponent's family, and there is no seventh-level alchemy master..."
Qin Zhihui thinks more:
"If that's what you say, you should not underestimate the Luo family. With a hundred thousand years of accumulation, the Luo family is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others. Brother Wuse must be careful if he acts.
"Especially those old antiques in the Luo family will not let fellow Taoists achieve their goals so easily."
Although several people have their own ideas, their goals are quite unified. They all support Wei Zhong to take over the Luo family and plan for the future.
Just when Wei Zhong was still hesitating, a ray of light fell from the sky, and laughter came from it:
"Junior brother is very easy for me to find..."
When the light fell and his figure was revealed, Wei Zhong showed surprise and doubt, and several people around him stood up:
“I’ve met Uncle Hou!”
Wei Zhong searched for this person's face in his mind, and finally found the latter's identity in a certain jade slip, and bowed slightly:
“I’ve met Senior Brother Hou!”
The latter, wearing a fiery red Taoist robe, laughed a few times, then walked up and patted Wei Zhong on the shoulder:
“Not bad!
"Senior brother, I have only been out for a few hundred years, and you made such a move. You are worthy of being a disciple that Master values."
Hearing this, most of the people present looked shocked. Only Yangbao had known about this for a long time and had a calm expression on his face.
‘Senior Yun really wants to accept a disciple? ’
Hou Yanbin waved his hand for everyone to sit down, and then squeezed into the "younger generation" and started talking without any airs.
"Uncle Hou, why are you back so early?"
When asked by his younger generation about his mission, he did not hide anything and said bluntly:
"The environment in the Abyss is really too harsh, and the poor Taoist is too uncomfortable in it. In addition, he has been stationed there for six hundred years, so he has enough time for two short terms to come back."
The responsibility system of Hedao monks within the Immortal Sect is no longer the same as that of Lianxu.
Thirty years of refining Xu is a small task, three hundred years is a big task, and Hedao will rise to another level based on this, three hundred years is a small task, and three thousand years is a big task.
"I don't know how Senior Brother Yue can stay in the Abyss for thousands of years. He really doesn't get tired of it..."
After talking for a while, the topic shifted from Hou Yanbin to everyone’s discussion:
"Joining the Luo family? Boy Yang, is your proposal really bold enough?"
"How can it be possible?"
Yang Bao looked stunned, thinking that he had come up with a bad idea.
Hou Yanbin shook his head slightly:
"It's not that it's impossible, but with my five-color junior brother's ability, I still lack some strength to completely take down the entire Luo family." "Cultivation level?"
Wei Zhong held the teacup and asked doubtfully.
"Yes, it is cultivation," Hou Yanbin said eloquently, "The Luo family is a large family with a heritage of nearly 100,000 years. Although it is a family of weapon refiners, it is also a family that attaches great importance to the personal strength of monks.
"Although Hedao can't come out now, the so-called perfection of refining the void will not be lacking in the clan.
"Junior brother, you are only in the middle stage of Void Refining, so you are somewhat underwhelming in front of him."
Wei Zhong concealed his cultivation, and even Hedao monks like Hou Yanbin couldn't see through it.
"Even if you rely on your own alchemy and weapon refining skills, as an outsider, at most you are the first-level elder who is respected in your clan.
"If you want to reach the level of the so-called patriarch, you can't do it just by relying on your skills.
"Unless, unless you kill all the old stubborn people in the Luo family, the entire family will be replaced by the younger generation..."
Although Wei Zhong's lifespan is relatively unlimited, he doesn't like such long-term matters.
The longer the delay, the greater the possibility that something unexpected will happen.
Especially since the Luo family is currently in a precarious situation, it is not certain how long it can survive.
Even if Wei Zhong injects blood to help the Luo family resuscitate, there is no telling how much profit he can get if he is controlled by others.
“Isn’t there a way to get the best of both worlds?”
"Of course!"
Hou Yanbin’s voice was high-pitched and he patted Wei Zhong on the shoulder:
"Senior brother, am I not here?"
The people sitting together all looked strange.
‘I have long heard that Uncle Hou is domineering. Are we going to force the Luo family to submit today? ’
"Let's go, senior brother will take you to have a look!"
Wei Zhong bid farewell to everyone and flew away with him.
"The people of the Luo family are stationed in Xiaoluo Mountain. There is a fire vein that traverses the entire Chiyang Spiritual Land, as well as a branch of the seventh-level spiritual vein...
"It is this natural geographical advantage that allows the latter to survive to this day. Now that the Luo family is weak, these spiritual lands will not be preserved..."
Wei Zhong listened to Hou Yanbin's explanation and expressed doubts:
"Brother, it seems that we are not heading towards Xiaoluo Mountain?"
"Hey, junior brother, you really think that I am the overlord of the Immortal Sect. Hedao forces a long-standing weapon-refining family. This will be impeached by the elders of the same generation."
"Then..."
"This matter must be understood with emotion and acted with reason. Simple force is not advisable. We will first invite Master Yang to come and then talk about it."
After that, he took Wei Zhong straight to the main hall of Chiyang Palace.
When Yang Jing heard Wei Zhong's idea, he couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Wei Zhong and said with a smile:
"You are brave enough to think of such a thing."
Hou Yanbin laughed at the side:
"My junior brother has been in the sect for eight hundred years and has been in seclusion almost all the time. How can he understand such things? It all depends on the advice of a good descendant of Uncle Yang."
"That brat from Yangbao will be severely punished when he comes back!"
Although the words were harsh, there was a smile on his face and not even the slightest hint of anger.
"How about it? Uncle Yang, do you think this is feasible?" Hou Yanbin asked.
The latter did not reply immediately, but grabbed his beard:
"This matter can be said to be yes or no, it all depends on the wishes of the Luo family..."
Hou Yanbin waved his hand to interrupt:
"Uncle, don't try to beat yourself up again. Just say whether you support or not."
Hou Yanbin spoke resolutely, and only then did Wei Zhong realize how the latter got his domineering reputation.
In the entire Five Elements Immortal Sect, there are not many people who dare to speak like this to Yang Jing, the master of the first hall.
If you let others come, you will at least be labeled as disrespectful to your seniors.
But what surprised Wei Zhong was that Yang Jing was not angry at all. Instead, he turned to look at Wei Zhong:
"It depends on the attitude of the five-color boy.
"Wuse, do you want to live in the Luo family and become one of them, or do you want to be the master of the entire Luo family, and your life or death will be determined by one word..."
Wei Zhong shook his head slightly:
"The younger generation is unwilling to do either of the above."
Hou Yanbin was stunned when he heard this: ‘This is different from what we promised when we came here! ’
Only then did Wei Zhong continue to talk:
"This junior is interested in the Luo family, but he wants it to help him deal with some troubles that may arise in the Immortal Sect, such as the unreasonable allocation of resources and being occupied by others.
"Another example is the rare resources that the juniors want, but the sect does not have them in stock and needs help from others to collect them.
"...
"All in all, all the juniors need is a thug, and an obedient one.
"As long as I can unconditionally satisfy my request, I don't mind using my own energy to pull it back from its weakness.
"Even if the Luo family is the Luo family, I am still me. The two are independent of each other and have no nominal relationship.
"The Luo family can continue to stay in the Five Elements Immortal Sect, but Pindao is not certain. The current practice of refining the void, and even the subsequent Hedao and Mahayana, will not be my end..."
After hearing this, the two finally understood.
Wei Zhong didn't care about the entire Luo family at all, and he didn't even pay much attention to the latter's 100,000-year heritage.
His ambitions are quite big. He does not think that he will be limited to the realm of refining the void and joining the Tao, nor will he be limited to the Five Elements Immortal Sect or the Mingyu Spiritual Realm. His real focus is on ascension and what will happen after the ascension. In the fairyland.
"The future life is formidable!"
Regarding what Wei Zhong said, the two no longer know how to evaluate it.
After all, this kind of thing is a bit far away for these two Hedao people, not to mention Wei Zhong, who is even lower than the two of them.
"That is to say, junior brother, what you need is a springboard? Or a springboard that can be placed wherever you want without any backlash?"
Hou Yanbin fully understood what Wei Zhong meant.
"Exactly!"
"That's easy to say," Hou Yanbin turned to look at Yang Jing, "My junior brother has no idea of wiping the Luo family clean, but my senior uncle is relieved?"
The latter nodded slowly.
As the master of a palace, he pays more attention to the balance of forces in the palace than Wei Zhong's personal interests.
If an old family like the Luo family, which has existed for 100,000 years, dies during his tenure...
Thinking of this, Yang Jing couldn't help but shake his head:
"Now that the words have been made clear, all that's left is the bargaining chip!"
"If you, Wuse, can come up with enough chips to get the Luo family out of this predicament, I can support you and work with your senior brother Hou to promote this matter."
After receiving the latter's promise, Wei Zhong bowed.
After a while, the three of them went to Xiaoluo Mountain and had three days of negotiations with the Luo Family Elders Association.
The two sides argued endlessly over various interests, and the Luo family refused to hand over the leadership of the entire ethnic group to an outsider like Wei Zhong.
It wasn't until Hou Yanbin moved out Feng Yunyao, an eighth-level alchemist and future Mahayana monk, that the Luo family's attitude softened.
"We have one more request. Fellow Taoist Five Colors must marry a daughter of my Luo family and leave an heir."
