The Wuzhu Sect was once said to be a branch of the Yuqing Sect, but in fact if we trace it back thousands of years, it was just a small Taoist temple on the outskirts. It was originally called Wuzhu Temple or Wuzhuyuan.
The purpose of this Taoist temple is mainly to share the work of recruiting disciples for the Yuqing Sect. For example, some new disciples are too young and do not yet have the qualifications to be admitted to the outer sect, so they stay in this kind of Taoist temple to be raised and observed first. To put it bluntly, they are like a nursery. Another purpose is to provide a place for those disciples who have no future, so it can also be regarded as a nursing home.
At the same time, as a "nursery" and "nursing home", it actually also has a very important responsibility, that is, when foreign enemies invade, it serves as an "outpost" for the sect. This is not a good job, let alone for "nursery homes" and "nursing homes." Fortunately, except for a few major catastrophes, the monastic world is relatively peaceful most of the time.
The main reason why the Wuzhu Sect developed from a Taoist temple to a third-rate sect and gradually separated from the Yuqing Sect was that it survived the catastrophe ten thousand years ago. Like the Golden Light Sect, the Wuzhu Sect is, after all, very close to the Yuqing Sect. The "outpost" at this location is actually meaningless, and the Demonic Dao was too lazy to waste time on them.
The Yuqing Sect, after those catastrophes thousands of years ago, had to move the sect to the current Yuqing Five Peaks because Tongtian Peak was banned by the Great Formation. In fact, the five peaks of Yuqing today were also the outer gate of Yuqing Sect in the past. In addition, after the catastrophe, the Yuqing Sect did not suddenly fall into the third-rate sect, so the sect's buildings and other facilities still have a certain foundation.
However, the Wuzhu Sect developed from a Taoist temple, which can basically be said to be a process from nowhere to nowhere. The Yuqing Sect was once rich, so when it was promoted from a third-rate sect to a second-rate sect, many of the buildings and facilities simply needed to be renovated. As for the Wuzhu Sect, it has grown from a small Taoist temple to a third-rate sect, and now it is about to become a second-rate sect, so it has a lot to build.
Fortunately, there are generous gifts prepared by several second-rate sects around, which can provide some impetus for the rapid development of Wuzhu Sect. Otherwise, based on the current financial situation of the Wuzhu Sect, even if it is a second-rate sect with powerful souls at its command, there may not be much change in a few years or even ten years.
In the Wuzhu Sect, it was a really joyous day, and there was a feeling of elation from top to bottom.
In the main hall of the Wuzhu Sect, the envoys from each sect have left. The newly promoted Primordial Spirit Powerful Lord Peng has just accepted the congratulations from the envoys from each sect and is sitting at the head of the throne with a glowing face. Next to him, the head of the Wuzhu Sect also looked very excited, and his hand holding the thick gift list was still trembling.
"Master, how about the congratulatory gifts from each sect?" Wang Lianshan, the golden elixir master of the Wuzhu Sect, asked beside him with excitement.
You know, seeing the sudden rise of the Yuqing Sect, it is impossible for these people in the Wuzhu Sect to say that they do not have envy, jealousy, and hatred in their hearts. It's just that his family knows his own affairs, and no matter how loyal he is to the Wuzhu Sect, he doesn't think that his family will have the same chance of rising as the Yuqing Sect.
However, no one expected that God had not forgotten the Wuzhu Sect. Peng Gong, who had always been considered to have no hope of soul in this life, stepped into the realm of soul almost overnight. After knowing the news, all the sects have sent envoys to congratulate them, but everyone in the Wuzhu Sect still feels like they are dreaming.
In the entire Wuzhu Sect, it can be said that Wang Lianshan is the person who has the most dealings with the Yuqing Sect. However, with the rise of the Yuqing Sect, his status as a Golden Pill Grandmaster is somewhat unqualified. Otherwise, when he went to Yuqingzong to borrow spiritual rice, it would not have been Peng Gong himself who went there in person, but Wang Lianshan who would have come forward.
Of course, another reason is that he followed the Jinguang Sect and made things difficult and suppressed the Yuqing Sect. Wang Lianshan was also the person who made the most appearances in the Wuzhu Sect. Therefore, also out of the desire to let Yuqingzong forget those previous events, Wang Lianshan has almost never left home in the Wuzhu Sect in recent years.
Therefore, probably no one has experienced this feeling of earth and heaven more deeply than Wang Lianshan.
The leader of the Wuzhu Sect is named Wang Lianhai, and you can tell by his name that he is Wang Lianshan's brother. After hearing Wang Lianshan's inquiry, the leader Wang Lianhai patted the thick gift slip in his hand and said with a smile: "Then there is no need to ask? Now that Master has entered the realm of Yuanshen, our Wuzhu Sect has become second-rate. It’s a sure thing, so the various sects naturally don’t dare to deal with my sect casually.”
"It's better to hurry up and see what's there." Wang Lianshan urged impatiently. It may be a bit pitiful to say that this is the first time for the Wuzhu Sect to experience such a thing, so they have no idea what kind of gifts each sect will send. This is like a farmer guessing that the emperor uses a golden hoe. After all, the Yuqing Sect has been rich before, but the Wuzhu Sect has just reached this point.
"You two!" Peng Gong was also in high spirits during happy events, so he did not criticize Wang Lianshan. He just smiled and shook his head, then turned to the head Wang Lianhai and said: "Don't worry, first look for the gift list from the Yuqing Sect. Come out and take a look.”
"Jade Qing Sect, disciple, look for it now." Wang Lianhai quickly flipped through the gift list in his hand and quickly found the Yu Qing Sect's share.
Peng Gong wanted to see Yu Qingzong's gift list first, and he also wanted to vent his frustration at being rejected before. When he thought about it, the Yuqing Sect would most likely use spiritual rice as a gift this time. After all, this thing was the most suitable thing to give to the Wuzhu Sect as a gift. Thinking about how he was rejected when he borrowed the spiritual rice before, but this time the Yuqing Sect wanted to send him the spiritual rice as a gift, he felt really comfortable.
Wang Lianhai also knew what his master was thinking, and with a knowing smile on his face, he opened the Yuqing Sect's gift list. However, after opening the gift list, when he saw what was written on the gift list, the expression on his face suddenly froze.
Seeing Wang Lianhai's demeanor, Peng Gong also saw something was wrong and asked in a deep voice: "Why, is there anything wrong with the Yuqing Sect's gift list?"
Speaking of problems, it's not actually a problem, because the gift list from Yu Qingzong is relatively weighty, and there is no such thing as being dismissive and perfunctory. However, after reading the whole article, Wang Lianhai did not hit it above. He and his master wanted to see the spiritual rice.
Originally, this was not a big deal, and no one stipulated that gifting must include spiritual rice. However, several people from the Wuzhu Sect had already had psychological expectations, but this time their psychological expectations were not met, which would make people feel unhappy.
"Master, the gift from the Yuqing Sect is not thin, but there is no spiritual rice..." Wang Lianhai said hesitantly, while continuing to read the contents of the gift list, as if he was afraid that he would miss it.
"What!" Peng Gong's brows suddenly frowned. In his heart, this is not a matter of etiquette. This is obviously because Yu Qingzong looks down on him. I went to borrow something, which means I need it, but you gave me a gift but didn't give me what I needed. What else could this be but looking down on!
In fact, Lingdao, let alone the Wuzhu Sect, is probably not lacking in any sect in the entire Shenhua Domain except the Yuqing Sect. Even those first-class sects and top sects have not yet reached the point where their disciples really eat spiritual rice as food and completely replace auxiliary elixirs.
Of course, the Yuqing Sect was not rich either. On the one hand, the disciples of his sect were consumed, and on the other hand, Ye Zan had to use spiritual rice to recruit people. Therefore, the reason why he didn't lend it to Peng Gong before was not simply because he didn't want to be beaten by him, but because Ye Zan really couldn't squeeze out too much surplus food.
However, the Wuzhu Sect would not think that way!
"It's hateful that you don't take our Wuzhu Sect seriously. Do you really think that without his Yuqing Sect, our Wuzhu Sect will definitely decline?" Peng Gong took the gift list handed over by Wang Lianhai and read it over. , so angry that he held the gift sheet tightly in his hands.
"Master, how about we return the Yuqing sect's gift?" Wang Lianshan asked from the side.
Send the gift back again. If this news spreads, it will definitely make Yu Qingzong unable to come to power. But at the same time, this also means that the Wuzhu Sect wants to draw a clear line with the Yuqing Sect, which means they are somewhat incompatible with each other.
I have to say, this is really a bad idea.
Even with the small arms and legs of Wuzhu Sect, it can be regarded as a second-rate sect, but it is still far behind compared with Yuqing Sect, which is at the forefront of second-rate sects. If the Wuzhu Sect really dares to do this, even if the Yuqing Sect doesn't know how to deal with them, those sects that cooperate with the Yuqing Sect may not look good on the Wuzhu Sect. Even though Ziyang Sect and other second-rate sects still want to let Wuzhu Sect hold back Yuqing Sect, if they really face enough benefits, they will give up Wuzhu Sect very simply.
However, after all, today is a happy day, so Peng Gong did not scold Wang Lianshan, but shook his head and said: "Why should we give it back to them? Our faction is now in a state of exhaustion and needs a lot of resources to develop. Why should this gift be returned? As for the fact that Yu Qingzong despises my faction, just leave it to him and let him settle the accounts in the future!"
To put it bluntly, even if you accept the gift, I won’t acknowledge your affection. Who told you to give the gift carelessly
"Master, Holy Ming!" Wang Lianshan praised with compliments on his face.
Peng Gong rubbed the Yuqing Sect's gift slip in his hand, and the gift slip suddenly turned into ashes. Then he turned to the head Wang Lianhai and said, "Look at the other sects."
"It's Master!" Wang Lianhai responded quickly, and at the same time opened the top of the stack of gift lists. This time, he took a breath of air when he saw it, and shouted: "This... Ziyang Sect is such a big hand. !”
Peng Gong and Wang Lianshan couldn't help but be quite surprised when they saw Wang Lianhai's reaction. Wang Lianhai had read the gift list from the Yuqing Sect before, but now he was so amazed by the gift list from the Ziyang Sect. Obviously, the gift from the Ziyang Sect was more important than the gift from the Yuqing Sect.
"Bring it to me and see." Peng Gong said immediately.
Wang Lianhai naturally did not dare to neglect, and handed over the Ziyang Sect's gift list very respectfully.
Mr. Peng took the gift list and looked at it, but he suddenly stood up, with an expression of disbelief in his eyes as he looked at the gift list. This gift list really scared Peng Gong. The various resources necessary for cultivating the Taoism listed above are enough to build a new third-rate sect. In other words, the value of the Wuzhu Sect, which was still a third-rate sect before, could not compare with the value of this gift.
After Wang Lianhai handed over the gift list from the Ziyang Sect, he also opened the gift list from the Tianhe Sect. Although there was a precedent from the Ziyang Sect, he was still shocked by the content of the gift list and took another breath of air.
"What's going on?" Wang Lianshan came over, his eyes fell on the Tianhe Sect's gift list, and he also took a breath of air without any surprise.
If there were anyone outside the Wuzhu Sect's main hall, they would definitely feel that it was very strange in the main hall, with "hissing, hissing" breathing sounds coming one after another.
Peng Gong glanced at the Ziyang Sect's gift list at a glance. Before he could carefully calculate the detailed value of the gifts, he was attracted by the reactions of Wang Lianshan and Wang Lianhai. He came directly to Wang Lianhai, stretched out his hand to take the gift list from the He Sect that day, and couldn't help but let out a "hiss" when he saw the contents.
"Master, these are the gift lists from Yunding Sect and Wanxiang Sect, as well as the gift list from Xuanfa Sect." Wang Lianhai saw that the gifts from the two second-rate sects were so heavy, so he naturally reacted immediately and sent several other gifts from the second-rate sect. The gift list was also taken out. However, these five sects were not the only second-rate sects that came to congratulate the Wuzhu Sect, but only these five sects were able to give such a substantial congratulatory gift.
"Are these five sects rich and powerful, or do they have some agenda?" Wang Lianshan looked dumbfounded. Many of the congratulatory gifts in those gift lists were things he had never dared to think of before. He didn't expect so many to be sent this time.
Peng Gong immediately calmed down the excitement in his heart, looked at the names on the gift lists, and sneered: "Lianshan, don't you see anything from this gift list?"
Wang Lianshan was not stupid, but he was a little dizzy just now from the generous gifts. When he heard the master's question, he thought about the information about these five sects, and said immediately: "Aren't these five sects the ones who worked together in the past? The five sects of Yuquan Peak?”
"Yes, the reason why these five sects came to Yuqing Sect in the first place was because Yuqing Sect posed a threat to them. Now, they are taking this opportunity to send such generous gifts to my Wuzhu Sect. You should also know about them What do you want to do?" Peng Gong said, waving the five gift lists in his hand.
"Haha, you want me, the Wuzhu Sect, to contain the Yuqing Sect for them." Leader Wang Lianhai interrupted with a smile.
"His five sects have a good idea. Does he want to use us as swordsmen?" Wang Lianshan said with some displeasure. A gift is a gift, but being treated like a knife is definitely not a pleasant thing.
However, Peng Gong shook his head and said with a bit of self-mockery: "Being a swordsman? Our Wuzhu sect is not qualified yet. They just want me, the Wuzhu sect, to be a nail to cut the jade clear for them." Zong Ding is just here.”
