Chapter 36 Guangling Zhenren
On a towering sacred mountain thousands of miles away from the Floating Cloud Mountains, the Xiaoyao Sect's general affairs elder Guangling Zhenren was resting his eyes in the hall.
After a while, a gray-clothed foundation-building disciple came to the hall quickly, holding a red communication talisman in his hand. Seeing Guangling Zhenren, he quickly said:
"Master, Senior Brother Tian sent a note saying that he has found the Pearl Spirit Fruit Tree in the Floating Cloud Mountains. He is now taking Junior Brother Li and the others back to the sect. With his Qingling Boat's speed, he should be able to return to Tongxuan Mountain in three or four days."
"Congratulations to the master for making great contributions to the sect again. This time he found a Five Elements Fruit Tree for the sect. If the head master knows about it, he will definitely reward me. "
Master Guangling slowly opened his eyes and said with a smile: "We have obtained a five-element fruit tree. This spiritual object that can increase the foundation of the sect is naturally a blessing for the sect. Before the chaos of the monsters in the northern border, we can cultivate one or two more foundation builders for the sect, and also add a little more help to the sect."
Master Guangling, dressed in black, looked young, like he was only in his twenties or thirties. He narrowed his sharp eyes, nodded with a smile on his face to the person reporting in front of him, and then gave a calm instruction.
"Tianyu, send a disciple to Qinghefang to inform Lu Yuanfeng that the Liu family in Jingyuan Mountain, Qinghe County, no longer needs to exist. All cultivators are sent to Huoyan Mountain to mine the black iron ore vein."
"Master, the cultivators of the Liu family have been sent to Huoyan Mountain. What should be done with the remaining mortals? Should they be assigned to Qinghefang?"
Master Guangling smiled at the thoughtful disciple in front of him and said, "Let Lu Yuanfeng deal with it himself. If he is willing to accept it, it will be assigned to Qinghefang. If he is not willing, let the Huang family and nearby families take it over. The mistakes of the cultivators should not involve the mortals below."
Lin Tianyu nodded He nodded and was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something and asked, "Master, we also know that it was the Liu family who organized people to go to the Floating Cloud Mountains to hunt monsters. We are not sure that the Liu family must know about the spiritual fruit tree. Should we invite the Liu family to ask again to clarify, so as not to wrongly accuse them?"
"No need. The one who built the foundation of the Liu family a hundred years ago must have obtained the spiritual fruit from here. A small Qi refining family now dares to hide private things under the nose of the sect. This time, we must also let the news out to shock those dishonest families and let them know that they are too smart. 's fate. "
"But Master, why did Master treat the Qi-refining disciple who discovered the spiritual fruit tree so courteously? He has bad behavior and is willing to sell out his clan members for his own benefit. "
Master Guangling narrowed his eyes and stood up. He walked to the door of the temple and continued, "I know you don't understand. Yes, when I asked the divine talisman that day, this person was indeed a selfish person, but the first thing he thought of was to dedicate this spiritual fruit tree to the sect, even if it meant selling out the interests of his own family. The sect must reward such people, and let those families under him The monks know that the sect is also their protector. "
"I am the head of the General Affairs Hall and manage hundreds of vassal families under the sect. Now more and more families have forgotten the sect's protection of them. They only care about the interests of the family and completely ignore the sect. There are many who are traitors. If this continues for a long time, they will become more and more disloyal to the sect. When the monsters in the northern border are in turmoil, how can the sect rely on them?"
After listening, Lin Tianyu nodded woodenly. Although he was a little puzzled about his master's arrangement, he never dared to object.
At this time, Du Yucheng, who was standing on Tian Qinghu's Qingling Boat, didn't know that when he went to Xiaoyao Sect to report the news of the water spirit fruit tree, the monks of Xiaoyao Sect had already investigated the matter thoroughly with the questioning talisman.
The questioning talisman is a second-level spiritual talisman. It can fix the monk's mind in a short time for ordinary Qi refining or even foundation-building monks, so that the monk can't lie and easily ask the questions he wants to know, but it is useless for monks above the foundation-building stage.
Although this kind of talisman is a second-level talisman and is very valuable, with hundreds of spirit stones required for one piece, in order to confirm the news of the water spirit fruit tree, Master Guangling did not hesitate to use it on Du Yucheng. Before using the God-asking Talisman, he used the soul-calling technique on him in advance. Du Yucheng still doesn't know that Xiaoyao Sect actually wasted the precious God-asking Talisman on him.
Master Guangling's cultivation level is the fourth level of the Golden Core, which is only considered average among the nine Golden Core cultivators in Xiaoyao Sect.
Although he looks like he is only in his twenties or thirties, it is only because he took the anti-aging elixir in his early years. In fact, he has been practicing Taoism for more than three hundred years, which is not young among Golden Core cultivators.
A Golden Core cultivator has a lifespan of 500 years. In addition, he can take some third-level life-extending spiritual objects, which can also live an extra hundred years. If there are no other reasons that affect the lifespan, he can generally live to 600 years old.
True Man Guangling formed the golden elixir late, and formed the golden elixir three times. He was almost 200 years old when he finally succeeded in forming the golden elixir. He had formed the golden elixir for almost 200 years, but he was only at the fourth level of the golden elixir. He was considered a golden elixir cultivator with exhausted potential in Xiaoyao Sect, so he was appointed by the Sect Master to the position of Elder of the General Affairs Hall, which was a position with many chores.
However, True Man Guangling himself was not so desperate about his own path. He often thought about making contributions to the sect and earning more merits, and wanted to speed up his cultivation progress.
Over the years, relying on the convenience of his position as the Lord of General Affairs, he has also gained a lot of benefits and exchanged for a lot of cultivation resources. However, his cultivation speed is really slow. It is hard to say whether he can cultivate to the late Jindan before his lifespan is exhausted, let alone the impact of the Yuanying stage.
This time, for the sake of the Pearl Water Spirit Fruit Tree, Guangling Zhenren has done his best. If it weren't for the recent busy affairs of the sect, he would have wanted to lead the team to the Floating Cloud Mountains in person.
In Xiaoyao Sect, except for the Supreme Elder Li Mufeng who had advanced to the Yuanying stage three hundred years ago, among the remaining nine Jindan cultivators, the only ones with the greatest hope of forming the Yuanying stage are the head Yao Qianshu and Bai Yuxian.
As the head of Xiaoyao Sect, Yao Qianshu can be regarded as a person who is above ten thousand people except the Supreme Elder Li Mufeng. His cultivation has long been cultivated to the ninth level of Jindan, and he has also impacted the Yuanying stage once. Now he still has more than a hundred years of life left, and there is about a 20% to 30% chance of forming the Yuanying.
Another female Jindan cultivator, Bai Yuxian, is a woman with extraordinary talent. She is the only Tianlinggen cultivator in Weiguo for hundreds of years. She has cultivated to the seventh level of Jindan at the age of more than 200. Her hope of forming a Yuanying in the future is even higher than that of the head Yao Qianshu.
Most of the resources in Xiaoyao Sect are naturally inclined to these two people. Although Jindan cultivators like Guangling Zhenren in the sect are somewhat dissatisfied with this, there is nothing they can do about it. After all, whether it is a Xiuxian family or a large sect like Xiaoyao Sect, in order to successfully cultivate Yuanying cultivators to inherit the sect, this is also a last resort.
If a Yuanying sect is in a period of transition, if the previous generation of Yuanying cultivators pass away, and there is suddenly no Yuanying cultivator in the sect, it will definitely attract the spying of surrounding forces, and it will inevitably be difficult to avoid the end of the sect being ruined.
However, Xiaoyao Sect is still relatively good. This generation's Nascent Soul Grand Elder Li Mufeng is only over 700 years old. The average Nascent Soul cultivator has a lifespan of at least 1,200 years. With the help of some high-level spiritual objects that can extend their lifespan, they can live another two to three hundred years. Normally, they can last to about 1,500 years old. As long as their luck is not too bad, Xiaoyao Sect should have enough time to cultivate new Nascent Soul cultivators.
