"Li Yan, you don't understand the beliefs of a tribe, especially what our tribe's sacred beast is, which is Qiongqi. Why do you think the Great Elder went alone
That was not just a simple impulse. The Tianli tribe is like this. If one of my people dies, the other side must also die, even if it costs more. We will fight to the death.
When the people of a tribe lose their morale, they lose hope, faith, and cohesion. The reason why the Tianli tribe has been able to resist the three tribes of wind beasts is because of the faith in their hearts, the faith that they die for the survival of their descendants..."
Gong Shanhe said this, but Li Yan couldn't understand what he said at all.
In his mind, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, so why be so bloody
"Then how do you and the Third Elder solve the difficulties I mentioned?"
Although Li Yan is the ancestor of a sect, he really doesn't know how to manage the sect and lead a group of people with unique ideas, so he simply returns to his own problems.
If these problems cannot be solved, he will have to persuade Gong Shanhe. After this situation is over, he will most likely fall into the other party's trap.
"You and Hongyin help me guard for a while, maybe ten or twenty years. The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Qionglin Sect and the fourth-level Sea-Breaking Beast will probably fight each other during these years!
Although it may take a long time to wait, maybe the high-level monks from both sides will take action soon? The timing can only be waited for, not estimated!
I will hand over the opening ceremony of 'Qing Awang' for you and Aying to the Fourth Elder and the Sixth Elder. Next year, when the seal is done, you two can become Taoist couples.
You and Aying are from the same school, and you love each other. I am very relieved to leave Aying to you. Well, I wonder if you can help me with my request?"
Gong Shanhe stared at Li Yan. He needed a promise from Li Yan because before the great elder came out of seclusion, only Hong Yin and Li Yan were the strongest.
Li Yan's eyes flashed with brilliance for a while, and Gong Shanhe was not in a hurry. He just waited quietly for his reply.
In his heart, even if Li Yan did not agree, Hong Yin had already agreed, he would still go out with the third elder to look for Li Yan, of course, for the sake of additional protection for the tribe.
The attic hall suddenly became unusually quiet, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. After fifty or sixty breaths, Li Yan's voice finally broke the silence.
"Let the Third Elder stay. I'll go with you!"
"You...you will accompany me?"
Gong Shanhe, who had been looking at Li Yan, was suddenly surprised. He did not expect Li Yan to give such an answer. He asked hesitantly.
"The Third Elder's fighting power is not as good as mine. I can hold back someone of Yan San's level, and I am pretty good at poisoning. The clan leader doesn't think that if he brings me along, I won't be as good as the Third Elder, right?"
Li Yan had put down his arms at this time and a smile appeared on his face.
"But...but what about Aying next year?"
"As long as there is an ultra-long-distance teleportation array and we don't waste time on the journey, I think we can probably get back soon!"
Li Yan smiled and spoke.
"Do you have a solution?"
Gong Shanhe was originally a little hesitant, but after hearing Li Yan's words, he immediately perked up.
… …
Six months later, outside a market town, two beams of light flew in from a distance. When they were several miles away from the market town, they landed. The light faded away, revealing two men.
The man was dressed in a black robe, had a thin body, a sallow face, a pair of triangular eyes, and a goatee on his chin. He looked to be about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, and gave people a sarcastic and mean feeling.
The other person was a fat bald man with a grey robe that was open, revealing layers of greasy fat. However, he tied the ropes on both sides of the grey robe at his navel, as if he was trying to force the clothes together.
In the end, only a thin rope was faintly visible outside the lapel, and most of it was sunk under the folds of fat.
After the thin and fat men landed on the ground, the man with triangular eyes first looked around, and after finding that only a few people had glanced at them, he immediately withdrew his spiritual sense and left far away, unable to help but smile in his heart.
Both of them are mid-stage Jindan cultivators, so there are few people who are so ignorant as to provoke them.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, the two of them walked towards the entrance of the market.
The two of them looked left and right as they walked. To others, they might be veterans in the martial arts world, observing the terrain or looking for the fat sheep in their hearts.
In fact, at this moment, the two of them were secretly communicating with each other.
"If my calculation is correct, today should be the date they come here. Is the method you proposed really feasible
That is the sect's great formation, guarded by late-stage great cultivators. Even the great elders have been unable to enter. I still feel it is not safe!"
The thin man with triangular eyes heard the voice of the greasy fat man in his mind.
"We have been here for a month and have been observing that sea area for a long time. It is just as the Great Elder said. Apart from three battles between low- and middle-level cultivators and the 'Sea-Breaking Beast', the high-level cultivators on both sides did not move at all.
This is obviously the result of a long-term fight. They both know each other's cards and can only wait for the opportunity to act. They will not act easily. Now, I think I have observed enough, so this method can still be tried!"
The voice of the thin man with triangular eyes also rang out in the greasy fat man's heart.
"Okay then. After you start today, you have to pass my inspection first. If even I can't tell, then you can go ahead and I will meet you in the nearby sea area!"
The greasy fat man's voice once again rang in the mind of the triangular-eyed thin man. He felt helpless as his own breath concealing skills were far inferior to the other party's.
The other party said that he could vaguely sense his cultivation level, and the details he described were true when he sensed them.
However, he could not see any problems with the other party who was in the middle stage of the Golden Core, which made his plan to sneak in together shelved.
The two people were Li Yan and Gong Shanhe. They had arrived at the sea area near "Qionglin Gate" three months ago, but did not get too close. They were lurking more than 4,000 miles away from the edge of the "Qionglin Gate" and "Pohai Beast" areas.
They observed there for a long time, and the results of their observations were not much different from what the Great Elder had said. There was no chance for them to launch a sneak attack on the opponent's Nascent Soul cultivator.
Li Yan, however, paid more attention to the people coming in and out of "Qionglin Gate", and slowly he actually figured out some patterns of "Qionglin Gate".
Among them were two Jindan cultivators who would go to a market called "Xianbaofang" about once a month.
The two followed and found that "Qionglinmen" also had a business in the market.
One of them is to collect the monthly income from spirit stones, or bring back to the sect some of the treasures purchased from the store that are considered precious.
The other person went to buy various materials needed for the sect’s daily practice.
Li Yan finally suggested starting with these two people. After they killed each other, they would transform into each other's appearance and sneak into "Qionglin Gate".
After hearing this, Gong Shanhe was puzzled. Li Yan had not said anything specific, only saying that he would act according to circumstances. The method proposed now was basically the same as the method that the Great Elder had intended to use to sneak in, but even the Great Elder had failed, so how could they succeed
Li Yan ignored him and continued to talk about his plan.
First, he had a very strong technique to conceal his aura. Li Yan told Gong Shanhe that he was sure that even a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage would not be able to discover his true cultivation level.
Secondly, Li Yan also has a way to avoid the opponent's formation's detection of the authenticity of the illusory appearance.
After hearing this, Gong Shan was half-believing and half-doubting, but Li Yan then put forward another condition, which was that Gong Shan and He could not enter the "Qionglin Gate" together.
Although the other party happened to have two Jindan cultivators out, Li Yan only planned to kill one of them, and then transform himself into the other's appearance and sneak into the sect with another Jindan cultivator from the "Qionglin Sect".
Gong Shanhe frowned when he heard this. Although he did not object immediately, it was obvious that he did not agree with this approach at all. This would put Li Yan in danger alone, but he also knew that Li Yan would definitely give him an explanation.
Sure enough, Li Yan gave the answer shortly afterwards.
First, Gong Shanhe's method of concealing his cultivation might not be able to hide from the other party's Nascent Soul cultivators and the sect's large formations;
Secondly, for this kind of attack, the smartest way is of course to cooperate inside and outside, rather than two people entering the dangerous area at the same time. Once something goes wrong, there will be no backup, so someone is needed to support from outside.
Gong Shanhe fell into deep thought after hearing this. It was a great favor that Li Yan was willing to come and help, and what he was doing was such a life-threatening thing.
In the end, Li Yan put himself in danger and left him outside. If anything happened to Li Yan, his daughter would never forgive herself in her life.
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Li Yan then smiled, and his already hidden aura instantly dropped to the Golden Core realm. Gong Shanhe then understood what he meant.
When his spiritual sense swept over, he was shocked.
After observing the "Qionglin Gate" from outside for so long, he and Li Yan had been hiding their auras, but before that, he could still feel the faintly powerful aura in Li Yan's body.
But the one who appeared before him now was actually a Jindan-stage cultivator. No matter how he investigated, he could not find any clues...
Before Gong Shanhe could think about it, the entrance to "Xianbaofang" was not far ahead.
"Li Yan, you said you were 70% sure of your transformation technique and that the other party couldn't detect it, but why didn't you let me test it in advance?"
“Don’t worry, I will transform into one of them later, and then you can take a look.
Don't worry. If I'm found to have problems when I enter, I won't be trapped in the formation yet, so the chances of escaping are very high..."
Thus, the two men, one fat and one thin, walked into the market while their eyes were rolling around and they were communicating with each other secretly.
… …
Seeing that land had appeared ahead, Cao Lang looked at the white-robed monk on the other side with a smile on his face.
"Brother Yang, if there are any good treasures this time, you must inform your junior brother first."
The white-robed monk was about forty years old, in the late Jindan stage, with fair skin, a pair of slender eyes on his cold face, giving people a very gloomy feeling.
After listening to Cao Lang's words, he just glanced at him sideways, without any expression on his face, and then spoke indifferently.
"Well, Junior Brother Cao, please rest assured!!"
Then he said no more.
"Then Junior Brother, thank you in advance!"
The smile on Cao Lang's face deepened a little, but he was already cursing in his heart.
"Humph, Yang Youxian, you bastard, I don't believe you! Damn it, if I try a few more times, I will definitely get you out of this position!"
Cao Lang thought bitterly in his heart that he and Yang Youxian were each responsible for two parts of the sect, and he was responsible for purchasing various common materials used in the sect on a daily basis.
Yang Youxian was responsible for collecting spirit stones from the shops in the market town, as well as purchasing various treasures from the shops and bringing back to the sect some of the treasures that were considered precious.
These two jobs are both lucrative ones in the sect. Many people try their best to get them, but there is no way to get these good jobs.
However, Cao Lang and Yang Youxian have innate conditions. Their masters are two Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect, and they are also the best disciples in the eyes of their respective masters.
Therefore, the two of them were the most favored among all the disciples of their respective masters, so these two lucrative jobs fell on them, which made countless people envious.
Cao Lang and Yang Youxian did gain huge benefits from it. Of course, there were more lucrative positions in the sect than just these two.
The remaining positions are held by two other Nascent Soul disciples, and the rest will be divided among their fellow disciples.
People like Cao Liang and Yang Youxian were also very smart. They understood the principle of respecting their master, but just the soup and liquid left behind made them a fortune.
In the eyes of outsiders, Cao Lang's job is better than Yang Youxian's and more lucrative.
After all, he was using spirit stones to purchase materials, and the price was not decided by him and the other party, so the leverage between them was huge.
But Cao Liang knew clearly that he did not earn as much as Yang Youxian, and the other party's job was more lucrative.
The trick is that the shop owner in the market town is also greedy for spirit stones, so the spirit stones he handed over cannot match the accounts. However, only Yang Youxian knew about this at the first time.
The accounts can be changed as long as he wants.
If you want Yang Youxian to be willing, then the details are self-evident.
What made Cao Lang even more coveted was that every time Yang Youxian came, he would be the first to know which treasures in the shop could be brought back to the sect. The value of the things that could be brought back to the sect could be imagined.
Whether you buy it at a low price and keep it for your own use, or sell it at a high price in the future, there are many ways to operate it.
But this kind of thing cannot be done often. It can be done occasionally. Otherwise, even if Yang Youxian has a Nascent Soul master, it will not work. You can take advantage of the sect, but you must know your limits.
Although Cao Lang greedily obtained a lot of spirit stones, some good treasures could not be purchased with spirit stones, and many good things fell into the hands of Yang Youxian.
Just last month when the two of them came here, Cao Liang learned from the clerk he had planted in the store that a magic weapon suspected to be the "Yunfu Wind Pearl" had appeared in the store.
Cao Lang practiced wind-related magical powers, so he was extremely excited when he got the news. When he asked Yang Youxian about it, the other party was also straightforward and answered that it was true.
But then he changed the subject and said that the shopkeeper, knowing the treasure was of extraordinary value, had already sent the news back to the sect in advance, and when he arrived, Uncle Liu sent him a message saying that he was interested in this item.
Then Yang Youxian looked at Cao Lang with an embarrassment on his face. Cao Lang felt as if he had eaten a thousand flies and felt extremely uncomfortable and nauseous.
