Chapter 1002: It's a Pity We Met Too Late
Qingxiu's face was full of hope, her eyes were full of pleading, and she looked pitiful.
She had no idea at all.
Lin Mu was free-spirited by nature, and it would be difficult to make him an elder of a sect.
Although this was a rare opportunity for many independent cultivators in the fusion stage, after all, with the support of a sect, whether it was cultivation or dealing with things, they would have a lot of confidence and convenience.
But Lin Mu was completely different from ordinary fusion cultivators.
The position of the elder of this sect was probably not attractive to him.
He might even find it troublesome and a burden.
But Qingxiu still hoped that Lin Mu would agree.
This time, Qingyu Sect was in danger of extinction. If it weren't for Lin Mu, the consequences would be unimaginable.
If it weren't for Lin Mu's unlimited future, she couldn't block Lin Mu's future path. She even wanted to give the position of the head to Lin Mu. She believed that under the leadership of Lin Mu, Qingyu Sect would surely be able to make rapid progress, grow and become one of the most powerful forces in Ningxiang City, with a powerful force.
Knowing the power of Lin Mu's Feixian Palace, she naturally gave up such an idea.
Compared with Feixian Palace, Qingyu Sect is completely different from the heaven and earth, not on the same level.
Lin Mu will change the whole Jinxiu world in the future, and even affect the whole cultivation world!
Letting Lin Mu be the head of Qingyu Sect will harm him instead.
But if Lin Mu is just an elder, he doesn't have anything to do at ordinary times, just a name, but as long as Lin Mu's name is there, whoever wants to move Qingyu Sect in the future will have to think twice, right?
If Lingbao Sect is really destroyed this time, Qingyu Sect will be at the forefront of the storm. If Lin Mu leaves, everything will be hard to say.
If Lin Mu becomes the elder of Qingyu Sect, things will turn around.
Before, Lin Mu was just a passer-by, who earned spirit stones and left, and many people thought so.
Now that Lin Mu has become the elder of Qingyu Sect, his attitude is naturally completely different.
Originally, being an elder of a sect was an honor and had many benefits, but now, Qingxiu knew very well that this had no appeal to Lin Mu. On the contrary, if Lin Mu became an elder of Qingyu Sect, it would actually benefit Qingyu Sect.
In the future, it might even bring some unnecessary troubles to Lin Mu, which he would need to solve.
Qingxiu was very embarrassed, but for the survival of the sect, she could not care about these things now.
"In Qingyu Sect, there are only female cultivators, not even male disciples. It is not appropriate for me to be an elder." Lin Mu pondered.
Zhang Jingxiang glanced at Qingxiu and said nothing.
She knew what Qingxiu meant, but what Lin Mu said was right.
Qingyu Sect has indeed always been a sect for female cultivators. Although the rules of the sect do not explicitly prohibit it, it has become a subtle rule after so many years of inheritance.
There will be no male cultivators in Qingyu Sect!
Now, it is indeed not appropriate to let Lin Mu be an elder directly, both in terms of reason and reputation.
But it is of great benefit to the development and safety of the sect.
She is not a pedantic and conservative person, so she will not refute Qingxiu's opinion.
If it were someone else, a male cultivator who had only known her for a few months, wanted to be the elder of Qingyu Sect, she would never agree no matter what, even Qingxiu had to give her this face.
But Lin Mu is different, now Lin Mu is a little condescending.
The most important thing is that she is deeply impressed by Lin Mu's character and strength, and she has no objection to letting Lin Mu become the elder.
"Rules are made by people." Qingxiu said proudly, "Now I am the head of Qingyu Sect, naturally I have the final say in everything, not to mention that others may not object."
"You have made an indelible contribution to the Qingyu Sect's survival!" Zhang Jingxiang said with a smile, "It is unfair for you to become an elder."
"That's right." Qingxiu followed with a smile, "If you are willing, I can give you the position of head."
"Don't joke with me." Lin Mu smiled and said, "Being an elder is not a big deal. But I also have a few conditions."
"What conditions? Just tell me." Qingxiu waved her hand and said very proudly.
"First, I am just a figurehead. If there is anything going on in Qingyu Sect and any decision-making, it is still decided by you two. I will not participate in this." Lin Mu looked at Qingxiu and Zhang Jingxiang and said.
"This." Zhang Jingxiang hesitated for a while.
Qingxiu was also a little embarrassed.
She let Lin Mu be the elder with this in mind. If Qingyu Sect encounters any problems, it would be right to let Lin Mu give some suggestions or simply let Lin Mu make the decision.
But now Lin Mu refused outright.
It seems that he is really afraid of trouble.
Qingxiu thought so in her heart, but it was difficult to refuse.
She had just boasted, how could she go back on her word so quickly.
"What about the second one?" Qingxiu asked calmly.
"For the second one, I will not take any salary or reward." Lin Mu said with a smile, "Since it is just an empty title, it would be too unreasonable for me to take reward."
"I don't care about this reward either." Lin Mu joked.
He didn't give Qingxiu and Zhang Jingxiang a chance to refute.
Qingxiu and Zhang Jingxiang looked at each other, and both of them were helpless.
But it can only be like this.
Once Lin Mu's mind is set, it is difficult to change.
The most important thing is that what Lin Mu said is indeed the truth.
People really don't lack spiritual stones!
This reward is really not worth it.
Qingxiu didn't feel happy at all because she couldn't send spiritual stones away. Instead, she was a little depressed.
When she met a rare genius like Lin Mu, she had to accept it.
As long as Lin Mu was listed as a figure, it would be fine. Just announce it to the outside world. At that time, a grand ceremony would be held in Ningxiang City to invite major forces to come and congratulate, so that everyone would know that Lin Mu became the elder of Qingyu Sect.
With the name of Lin Mu, other forces would need to think twice before dealing with Qingyu Sect.
Even after Lin Mu left, they dared not to act rashly.
Because once they deal with a force, they want to root it out and leave no future troubles, and they will consider a lot.
After Lin Mu left, they could never kill him. If they offended Lin Mu, he would definitely take revenge when he came back in the future.
Lin Mu's current strength is enough to kill a late-stage fusion cultivator. How powerful will he be in a few years?
No one in the entire Ningxiang City is his opponent.
Who dares to create such a powerful enemy?
I'm afraid that few forces dare to do so.
What's more, in the Qingyu Sect, there are still her and Zhang Jingxiang, and they are not at the mercy of others.
In fact, if Zhang Jingxiang sacrifices the peerless spiritual treasure, her attack power will immediately be promoted to the first person in the entire Ningxiang City, and her strength is also extremely strong.
But for the sake of their own safety and the stability of the sect, such news should not be leaked as much as possible.
So Lin Mu's reputation is crucial and can play a big role.
Even if Lin Mu is just a figurehead, Qingyu Sect has made a profit.
"Okay, I promise you all these!" Qingxiu nodded immediately.
"I have another condition." Lin Mu smiled again.
"Another condition?" Qingxiu felt a headache, "You are more procrastinating than a woman, can you be more straightforward?"
"Go ahead." Zhang Jingxiang smiled.
"Third, if Qingyu Sect is in danger in the future, you must inform me as soon as possible, and I will rush over as soon as possible." Lin Mu said seriously.
Qingxiu's face froze, and then she fell into silence, but a warm current passed through her heart, warm and touching.
If it weren't for her identity and environment, she really wanted to go forward and hug Lin Mu tightly.
Lin Mu was completely thinking about her.
Thinking that Lin Mu would leave soon, Qingxiu felt inexplicably sad.
But soon, she walked out, feeling secretly proud.
The reason why she let Lin Mu be the head of Qingyu Sect was not only for the sake of the sect, but also for her own selfish reasons.
If Lin Mu left directly, it is very likely that he would never come back and would never see him again in his life.
If Lin Mu became an elder, the relationship between them would be closer. If something really happened in Qingyu Sect, Lin Mu would definitely not sit idly by.
She still has a chance to see Lin Mu again.
Now she is the head of Qingyu Sect and cannot leave Ningxiang City. Lin Mu also has to travel around for the development of Feixian Palace. Qingxiu can only sigh that they met too late and now she can only leave regrets.
But as long as she can see Lin Mu from time to time, even if she is watching from afar, she will be satisfied.
"I promise you!" Qingxiu smiled and agreed with tears in her eyes.
She was so moved that she was about to cry.
Lin Mu didn't understand the situation, and turned to Zhang Jingxiang and said, "Kill Wang Le. Next, we have to deal with Lingbaomen as soon as possible. You have to sacrifice this flying sword as soon as possible. This is related to our success or failure, and life and death!"
Zhang Jingxiang nodded seriously.
Her consciousness has already reached the late stage of fusion. If she only sacrifices the flying sword, the speed will naturally be very fast.
Of course, after the sacrifice, there is no time to warm it up.
Generally, the sacrifice of a flying sword actually takes a very short time. The main thing is that after the sacrifice, the flying sword and the cultivator must be completely integrated and communicate with each other. This takes a lot of time. The power of the flying sword also needs a long time of warming and tempering to restore to the peak level.
It is difficult to fully exert the power of the flying sword after the sacrifice.
But now the situation is different.
She sacrificed a flying sword at the level of peerless Lingbao. Even if she cannot exert the full power of the flying sword, even if it is only half, or even only 30%, the attack power is so strong that few people in Ningxiang City can match it. It is much stronger than her peak.
"Let your disciples send a letter to Lingbao Sect." Lin Mu turned to Qingxiu and said, "Just say that Wang Le is fascinated by the scenery here and decided to stay for half a month."
Qingxiu's face suddenly turned red and she nodded shyly.
I don't know what the people in Lingbao Sect will think when this letter is sent back. They will really think that something happened between her and Wang Le.
However, for the sake of the sect's safety and to gain a chance to catch their breath, they can only delay Lingbao Sect like this. If it takes too long, Lingbao Sect will definitely become suspicious. Half a month is the limit.
This half month is the time for them to prepare and plan.
Most importantly, this is the time for Zhang Jingxiang to sacrifice and refine the flying sword of the peerless spiritual treasure realm.
Once the sacrifice is successful, it is time to take action!
