Chapter 642: Candidate for the Leader
This True Lord Tianbao from the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce did come to visit with good intentions. He just planned to continue to open Wanbao Towers in various places in the Qingling Territory.
To this end, the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is also willing to provide convenience to Lingyun Sect in all aspects.
For example, some spiritual materials, spiritual materials, elixirs, etc. that are produced less in Qingling Domain are willing to be sold directly to Lingyun Sect at a lower price.
As for Lingyun Sect, if there are any precious magic weapons or some high-level talisman elixirs that they want to trade in the future, they are willing to trade them happily.
For Lingyun Sect, this was definitely a very generous offer, and Li Qing could hardly find any reason to refuse him.
After all, the Qingling Domain is just a large domain, and it is impossible to have all kinds of resources.
For example, the Tianyuan Flower that Li Qing went to sea to look for before was not produced in the Qingling Territory.
If you connect with the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce in the future, you can directly ask the other party to buy it with spiritual stones or trade with other resources, instead of Li Qing aimlessly searching around the world.
The footprints of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce are almost all over the human world, and the types of resources they can possess are definitely the richest.
There is no force in the entire human world that can even compete with it.
With almost no further thought, Li Qing quickly agreed to True Lord Tianbao’s proposal.
"Haha, our Wanbao Chamber of Commerce does not interfere in the disputes between various forces in the world. We are only willing to remain absolutely neutral and be harmonious to make money."
"If other powerful immortals emerge in the Qingling Territory in the future Zongmen, I, the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, will also cooperate with them on business. I hope fellow Taoist Wuji can understand this."
Tianbao Zhenjun pulled out a folding paper fan from somewhere and fanned it. He spoke.
Li Qing can naturally understand this. As long as the other party can truly maintain absolute neutrality and not help each other in any disputes between forces, that is enough!
“No problem, I can agree to this condition!” Li Qing nodded and agreed.
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Tianbao Zhenjun's face became a little more relaxed, and he said:
"Actually, the Chamber of Commerce sent me to Qingling Territory this time. I plan to beat up the Shangqing Sect."
"The Immortal War launched by the Shangqing Sect in the entire Qingling Territory has affected several Wanbao Towers in my chamber of commerce."
"Later, I sent other people in charge of the Danjie stage to negotiate with the Qing sect, but I don't know where this sect got the courage and its attitude was extremely bad. It was really annoying."
" But since this sect has been destroyed, it saves me a lot of effort."
Li Qing smiled slightly after hearing this, and said: "My Lingyun Sect will never be like Shangqing. Zong is so short-sighted, please rest assured, Lord Tianbao!”
In this regard, Lord Tianbao is even more satisfied. To put it bluntly, their Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is doing business in various major areas to develop. grow.
Now that the Qingling Territory has been almost unified by the Lingyun Sect, the future environment should not be as disputed as in other large regions. This is what the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is most willing to see.
"Hahahaha, this is the best!"
"It's almost time for me to leave. We will send people to select a site to rebuild Wanbao Tower in the future. In the future, we will have to rely on the care of fellow Taoist Wuji!"
After saying that, True Lord Tianbao stood up and was already planning to leave.
Li Qing opened his mouth to say a few words of apology, but True Lord Tianbao seemed to have other matters and did not intend to stay any longer.
In this way, Li Qing sent the other party out of the sect. After watching the other party's figure disappear from the horizon, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh! It's really stressful to talk to a True Lord Nascent Soul. If it weren't for the Tianyuan Spirit Killing Formation, I really wouldn't have the confidence to talk to him as a peer!"
In the world of immortal cultivation, there are The gap in realm is the gap between seniors and juniors.
Li Qing summoned up a certain amount of courage by calling him True Lord Tianbao instead of Senior Tianbao.
"The Nascent Soul Stage. Without the monks from the Nascent Soul Stage, I am afraid that our Lingyun Sect will not be able to dominate the entire Qingling Territory for a long time in the future."
In the Qingling Territory today, spiritual energy is flowing. It gradually recovered and became more and more intense, and the monastic environment became more and more excellent.
It is conceivable that the monastic resources in this large area will become abundant, and the number of high-level monks may begin to increase in the future.
If you want to continue to dominate the entire Qingling Territory, you can only rely on a few pill-forming monks in the sect and a Tianyuan Spirit-killing Formation. After all, there is still something missing.
The Lingyun Sect urgently needs a Nascent Soul Stage monk to take charge. Only in this way can it be able to cope with any changes that follow.
Li Qing calmed down his inner emotions, then withdrew and returned to his Lingfeng Cave.
The time after that was relatively peaceful, and nothing major happened in Lingyun Sect. It was just Li Yuhuan who carried out the tasks given to her by Li Qing step by step.
She took the bronze fragment that contained Dao Lord Bailing and asked every disciple and elder of the sect to touch it personally.
However, the results were bleak. Until everyone from Lingyun Sect came into contact with it, this bronze fragment did not show any strange movement.
Li Yuhuan even suspected that the bronze fragment her master gave her would not react at all. It was still rusty and did not look like anything special.
This means that in the entire Lingyun Sect, there is no one who meets the requirements of Lord Bailing, and no one is qualified to inherit the mantle of this great monk in the transformation stage.
Li Qing did not feel any surprise about this.
The inheritance of the mantle and mantle of Lord Bai Ling is really too demanding. It not only requires extraordinary talent in cultivation, but also a certain amount of talent in various cultivation skills such as refining weapons, making pills, forming formations, and drawing talismans.
In Li Qing's view, this is almost impossible.
In today's world of immortality, basically no monks would do such stupid things.
Everyone mainly focuses on cultivating Taoism, and then uses this as a basis to supplement a cultivation skill, such as weapon refining or elixir refining, etc.
Once there are too many minor skills in cultivating immortals, it will cause a problem: biting off more than you can chew!
Often such monks accomplish nothing in the end, are not proficient in any skills, and cannot even make progress in their own cultivation.
Even Li Qing, who has a long life, is not willing to make such an attempt.
From this point, we can see how talented this Bailing Taoist is!
In the end, Li Qing recovered the bronze fragments from his apprentice's hands. He sighed and promised to Dao Lord Bailing that he would target the entire Qingling Territory and mobilize the power of the entire sect to select for him. The right disciple.
In this regard, Lord Bailing was no longer anxious, he said:
"There is no need to make such a big show. I was too naive before. People with such talent are hard to come by, so just let it take its course."
"You are a person of great luck. I think you should be able to Find someone like that before my obsession dissipates!" Li Qing was startled after hearing this, but just shook his head and did not continue talking on this topic.
In the days that followed, Li Qing meditated in the cave and practiced hard.
In the secret realm of beasts in the Demon Realm, he has gained a lot of benefits, and now he needs a lot of time to digest them all and turn them into his own strength.
The Wanbao Chamber of Commerce finally made some noise. They sent a lot of people and began to select locations for the Wanbao Building throughout the Qingling Territory.
Finally, they initially selected five addresses, namely the former Tianhefang City, the leased old Tianhe Sect site, Hejianfang City near Lingyun Sect, Lingyunfang City in the former Qingling South Region, As well as the junction area near the grassland in the northern part of the Qingling Domain.
This number may increase in the future. Li Qing did not mind this at all, but provided convenience to the other party to the greatest extent, and even sent some disciples from the sect to help.
In this way, time flies by, and another three years fly by.
During this period, Lingyun Sect held the sect’s second Immortal Ascension Conference!
The second Immortal Ascension Conference was equally eye-catching, and even vaguely surpassed the first Immortal Ascension Conference. There were a large number of casual cultivators who came to participate, and the competition was extremely fierce.
Of course, all this is due to the fact that the aura of heaven and earth in the Qingling Region is becoming more and more intense, the monastic environment is getting better and better, and the number of casual cultivators is constantly growing.
In addition, there are constant casual cultivators from the Great Wilderness Region in the south who are crossing over in various ways to avoid disaster and avoid the impact of the Immortal War!
All in all, the Qingling Territory is becoming more and more lively now.
Although there are no clear traces of loose cultivators in the core-forming stage yet, judging from some rumors, it seems that loose cultivators in the core-forming stage have begun to appear in the world of immortal cultivation in the Qingling Region.
As for the origin of these casual cultivators, no one can figure it out. They may have crossed over from the Great Wilderness Territory, or it may be that the original rogue cultivators in the Qingling Territory broke through this level!
The specific reason is unknown.
In such a grand occasion, the power of Lingyun Sect has become stronger and stronger, and the number of elders in the foundation building period has also increased a lot.
Of course, all this is due to Lingyun Sect's less rigid method of recruiting disciples.
In addition to the Immortal Ascension Conference, some elders can also travel. If they accept their favorite disciples, they can bring them back to the sect.
If your qualifications are excellent enough, you can even directly become an inner disciple and enjoy extremely generous benefits. In this case, the elder will also receive a certain amount of contribution points as a reward.
If you have ordinary qualifications, you can only stay in the outer sect and slowly accumulate contributions. There may not be any chance of being promoted to an inner sect disciple in the future.
In addition, some immortal cultivating families who have a close relationship with Lingyun Sect also have the opportunity to recommend their children to join the sect!
However, this is naturally conditional. If you want to recommend a disciple to enter the sect, you must either have good enough qualifications, at least the second spiritual root, or have other outstanding qualities, such as being proficient in alchemy and weapon refining. The art of cultivating immortals.
Finally, that is the Ascension Order!
As the top immortal sect in the Qingling Territory, Li Qing naturally has not forgotten how he joined the Lingyun Sect in the first place.
Every elder in the sect’s alchemy stage has three to five Immortal Ascension Orders, which can be awarded to anyone!
With an Immortal Ascension Order, you can join Lingyun Sect unconditionally, and be directly promoted to an inner disciple, and you can also get a Foundation Building Pill!
It’s just that several of the sect’s supreme elders in the Dan-formation stage rarely leave their caves. Including Li Qing, they have basically spent their time in their caves in the past few years. Passed.
There is basically no chance of this immortality order being given.
Therefore, Lingyun Sect's Immortal Ascension Order was only rumored in the immortal cultivation world of Qingling Region, but no one really had the chance to obtain it. Instead, it became a vague legend.
As the sect gradually grew, Li Qing also began to secretly inspect some of the elders and disciples in the sect.
He is preparing for the selection of the leader of Lingyun Sect in the future. For such a large sect, it is impossible that the position of leader will always fall on him.
“A qualified leader does not have high requirements for talent and cultivation. The most important thing is his character and the way he conducts himself in the world.”
“Poor qualifications and low cultivation will lead to You can use elixirs to make up for it. If you have a foundation-building level, you can almost be the leader.”
"I vaguely remember that the original qualifications of the head of Xuyun seemed to be the qualifications of the Three Spiritual Roots. Later, with his contribution to the sect, he obtained a lot of miraculous elixirs, so he cultivated to the false elixir stage."
Li Qing is in I have set a set of standards in my heart, and at the same time, I have several candidates to become the leader.
After that, he planned to conduct a secret investigation on these people, and then make a decision based on the situation.
Of course, Lingyun Sect was not his only one, and he truthfully informed Wu Chong and others about the selection of the sect leader.
The result was as he expected. These supreme elders were all obsessed with their own practice and did not want to get involved too much. Everything was left to Li Qing to decide.
"Oh, these guys really don't care about the sect at all!" Li Qing sighed.
“But that’s okay. After choosing the leader, I can be more relaxed in the future, so that I can focus more on my practice in order to reach the Nascent Soul stage!”
He has four candidates in mind for the head of the sect, including three elders in the foundation-building stage and an inner disciple who has reached the Great Perfection stage in the Qi-refining stage!
The reason why the inner disciples in this Qi refining period are also included in the investigation is naturally because this disciple has his own special features.
This person's name is Xu Xia, and he is a member of the Lingyun Sect who joined the first Immortal Ascension Conference.
However, his qualifications were average, and he only became an outer disciple when he first started. Later, he accumulated two years of contributions before becoming an inner disciple.
These resumes are mediocre and there is nothing worthy of attention.
But what really made Li Qing notice him was that he sent disciples from his sect to help the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce rebuild Wanbao Tower, and this person was among them.
That time, Xu Xia showed good organizational skills and overall perspective, and even the few accompanying elders were not as good as him.
Later, Xu Xia finally accumulated enough contributions from the sect and exchanged it for a Foundation Building Pill from the sect!
But contrary to expectations, Xu Xia, who had ordinary talents, failed to successfully build the foundation with only one Foundation Building Pill. His cultivation only increased from the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage to the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage and then completely stagnated.
However, this person did not feel depressed for too long. It only took a short time to adjust, and he continued to actively carry out various tasks in the sect to accumulate enough contributions in exchange for the third Two foundation building pills!
"Xu Xia."
"This person needs to be carefully investigated. His character, temperament, and loyalty to the sect all need to be carefully observed."< br>
“On the other hand, the other three foreign affairs elders in the foundation building period are relatively average and have nothing particularly outstanding.”
"If Xu Xia fails my test, then choose from these three foundation-building elders!"
As he said that, Li Qing closed his eyes and thought about what method to use. Let’s check out these people.
