Chapter 402 Promotion, 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 afraid?"

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.

"Just call me Taoist Fellow between you and me."

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 is really a bit unfair to fellow Taoist Five Colors."

Wei Zhong shook his head slightly and said with a smile:

"Although this cave is a bit crude, it is enough for me.

Putting the tea set on the table, Wei Zhong said bluntly:

"I wonder why Fellow Daoist Ye is here today?"

The latter replied:

“First, I heard that my Taoist friend had refined a seventh-level mid-grade elixir, so I came to congratulate him.

"In addition, I am here to apologize because I am mobilizing the Chiyang Palace elixir 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. Only the last bit is missing. Wei Zhong has collected all the elixirs and can start the elixir. .

"These elixirs are purely my apology and congratulations to my fellow Taoist 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.

Handed reply:

"Fellow Daoist Ye spent 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 potential 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's a good thing to join a clan, but the restrictions are 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 thought more:

"If that's what you say, don't 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. If Brother Wuse acts, he must be careful.

"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 makes me easy 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 Master 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, 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 the 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 Deep 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, and he has only two short terms to serve before he comes 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?"

"Why, no?"

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 it's just that with my five-color junior brother's ability, I still lack some strength to completely take down the entire Luo family."

"Cultivation?"

Wei Zhong held the tea cup 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 values ​​the personal strength of monks.

"Although Hedao cannot be achieved now, the so-called perfection of refining the void will never 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, you are at most the first level of an elder who is respected within your clan.

“If you want to reach the level of the so-called clan leader, 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 clan 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 it is controlled by others.

“Isn’t there a way to have 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? ’

"Come on, 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 precisely 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 doubt:

"Senior 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 is forcing a long-standing weapon-refining family. This will be impeached by the elders of the same generation."

"That……"

"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."

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're a brave boy, you can even 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 Master Uncle Yang."

"That stinky Yangbao boy 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 Luo family's wishes..."

Hou Yanbin waved his hand to interrupt:

"Uncle Master, don't make any further concessions. Just say whether you support or not."

Hou Yanbin spoke firmly, 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 decide your life or death..."

Wei Zhong shook his head slightly:

"I don't want to do either of the above two things."

Hou Yanbin was stunned when he heard this: 'This is different from what we agreed to when we came here! '

After that, Wei Zhong continued to tell the story:

"I am interested in the Luo family, but I want them to help me deal with some troubles that may arise in the Xianzong, such as unreasonable resource allocation and being squeezed out by others.

"Another example is that the rare resources that I want are not in stock in the sect, and I need others to help collect them.

"……

"All in all, I just need a thug, and an obedient thug.

"As long as you can unconditionally meet my requirements, I don't mind using my own energy to pull it back from weakness.

"Even if the Luo family is the Luo family, and I am still me, the two are independent of each other, and there is no nominal relationship between them.

"The Luo family can continue to stay in the Five Elements Xianzong, but I am not sure. The current Lianxu, and even the later Hedao and Mahayana, will not be my end point..."

Hearing this, the two understood.

Wei Zhong didn't care about the entire Luo family at all, and he didn't even think much of the latter's 100,000-year foundation.

He was very ambitious and didn't think he would be limited to the realm of refining emptiness and combining the Dao, nor would he be limited to the Five Elements Immortal Sect and the Mingyu Spirit Realm. His real sight was on ascension and the immortal world after ascension.

"The young are indeed formidable!"

The two didn't know how to comment on what Wei Zhong said.

After all, such things were a bit far away for the two Hedaos, not to mention Wei Zhong, who was one realm lower than the two.

"In other words, what do you need, Junior Brother, is a springboard? Or a springboard that can be placed wherever you point it, without any backlash?"

Hou Yanbin fully understood what Wei Zhong meant.

"That's right!"

"That's easy to say," Hou Yanbin turned his head and looked at Yang Jing, "My Junior Brother doesn't have the idea of ​​eating up the Luo family, uncle, are you relieved?"

The latter nodded slowly.

As the master of a hall, he paid more attention to the balance of forces in the hall than Wei Zhong's personal interests.

If the Luo family, an old family that has existed for 100,000 years, dies out during his term of office...

Thinking of this, Yang Jing couldn't help shaking his head:

"Now that the words have been made clear, the remaining is the bargaining chips!"

"If Wu Se, you can come up with enough bargaining chips to help the Luo family get out of this predicament, I can back you up 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 a three-day negotiation with the Luo family elders.

The two sides argued endlessly over various interests, and the Luo family was unwilling to hand over the leadership of the entire clan to Wei Zhong, an outsider.

Until Hou Yanbin brought up Feng Yunyao, an eighth-level alchemist and a future Mahayana cultivator, the Luo family's attitude was softened.

"We have another request. Fellow Daoist Wu Se needs to marry the daughter of my Luo family and leave offspring."
