Letting Wang Lianshan advance to the Nascent Soul realm first was not due to Peng Gong's partiality. But as he said, there are too many affairs in the Wuzhu Sect now, and they all need to be handled by Wang Lianhai as the leader. Who said that the Wuzhu Sect does not have talents who can take over. Another reason is that as a "diplomat" of the Wuzhu Sect, Wang Lianshan's Golden Core realm is not worthy of the second-rate sect of the Wuzhu Sect.
The "diplomats" of the monastic sect are generally called the deacons and elders of the rite hall, and the rite hall can be regarded as the "foreign affairs department" of a sect. It can be said that for a monastic sect, the ceremonial hall and the deacons and elders of the ceremonial hall are like the facade of the sect. After all, they have to deal with other sects.
The Wuzhu Sect is already a second-rate sect. If you still use a Jindan Grandmaster as the deacon and elder of the ceremony hall to deal with those same second-rate sects, not only will you be looked down upon by the other party, but it will also make the other party think that you have not received enough treatment. respect.
In fact, put aside all the imaginary things and just talk about realm issues. In this world, the realm of a monk is basically linked to his status. The deacons and elders of the ceremonial halls of those second-rate sects are all ancestors of Yuanying, but you, the golden elixir master, are the only one who comes to talk to them. You are directly inferior to them. What weight can your words carry
Therefore, out of these considerations, it is undoubtedly very necessary and most beneficial to the Wuzhu Sect to let Wang Lianshan advance to the Nascent Soul realm first.
As the head of the sect, Wang Lianhai naturally understood Peng Gong's considerations, so he immediately bowed and saluted, and said with great respect: "Master, please rest assured, this disciple will live up to the high expectations of the master. We must let our Wuzhu sect become the second-rate leader as soon as possible." Stand firm."
"Well, go ahead." Peng Gong nodded with great satisfaction. After Wang Lianhai's figure completely disappeared, he couldn't wait to pick up the gift sheets. Just kidding, even if the gifts from other sects are not as heavy as the Ziyang Sect and other five sects, mosquito legs are still meat.
More than ten days later, a news gradually spread among the various sects. The content of the news was exactly about the weight of the gifts received by the Wuzhu Sect. The news was not very detailed. It did not say what the gifts were. It only said that the gifts from the Ziyang Sect and five other sects were far more than the normal gifts and were enough for the Wuzhu Sect to eat up.
Immediately afterwards, the Wuzhu Sect immediately came forward to explain, saying that they were grateful to their fellow sects for their concern, that the gift was their own business, and that each sect should not make random guesses, etc. In short, it showed his attitude that he did not release the news by himself, but at the same time he did not deny the authenticity of the news.
The Ziyang Sect and other five sects also stood up and made a statement, saying that the gifts they gave to the Wuzhu Sect were just to help fellow sects. Although the gifts were heavier than the gifts from other sects, there was absolutely no news. The pass was so exaggerated.
However, anyone with some brains can see that there must be some conspiracy between the Five Sects and the Wuzhu Sect, and the target is the Yuqing Sect. It's just that most sects have nothing to do with themselves and just sit back and watch the show. They can only go along and praise the five sects for how benevolent and righteous they are.
As for Yuqingzong, after receiving this news, of course he would feel a little unhappy.
"These five sects are really willing to spend money. These gifts are enough to save the Wuzhu Sect ten years of time." The news Wu Changsheng received was not the vague information circulated by the outside world, but a very detailed one. A summary of ritual orders for each sect.
Although the Yuqing Sect is an orthodox sect, it is said to be "preventive of others", so it is natural that it will use some means. Just like in the world of science and technology, even in peacetime, countries will tacitly send spies to each other and try their best to obtain the secrets of other countries. It's the same in the Shenhua Realm, and it's not just the mortal countries, but also the monastic sects.
Let’s talk about the Yuqing Sect. Although the treatment given to its disciples is extremely high, are there any details from other sects? There almost certainly is. Yu Qingzong wouldn't care too much about this. Anyway, as long as the very important information wouldn't be known to those people, it would be fine. Moreover, it is better to know who they are and keep them than to get rid of them and then recruit a group of people from other sects that they don't know about.
Similarly, Yuqing Sect also has its own sources of information in various other sects. This is not to say that Yuqing Sect arranged its own people in each sect. In fact, arranging its own people was the stupidest way. No matter which world you are in, there is always a shortage of people who can sell something for profit, especially when he himself does not know the value of what he sells.
Just like in the early days of the technological world, in addition to obtaining intelligence themselves, spies would also develop some downlines through various channels. Some people have no idea that what they are selling is important confidential information until they are caught.
This detailed summary of the gift list was obtained by the Yuqing Sect through bribery of people from the Wuzhu Sect. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Wuzhu Sect intends to pass this news to the Yuqing Sect in this way. After all, the Wuzhu Sect secretly publicized the news before, and their intention was very obvious, which was to stir up the relationship between the Yuqing Sect and the Five Sects and strive for a better development environment for themselves.
"The Five Sects have a good idea, but they are a bit too underestimated of my Yuqing Sect, thinking that supporting a Wuzhu Sect can contain the development of our sect." Mo Ru said with a sneer.
After all, this monastic sect is different from secular countries. For example, it does not have a strong desire for territory. The so-called monastic sect's territory is mainly determined by influence, rather than relying on military force to seize it. Of course, there are some resources and minerals needed for monasticism, which are things that monastic sects must hold in their hands. This is where most of the disputes between sects come from.
However, although Yuqing Sect also needs those resources and minerals, it is not as dependent as traditional sects. The current development of Yuqing Sect is actually a bit like Tianbao Sect. As long as it can make money, most of the basic resources can be bought with money. More importantly, the Yuqing Sect controls the Virtual God Realm. I am afraid that no sect is willing to make things difficult for the Yuqing Sect in terms of cultivation resources for the sake of a small profit.
What's more, there are not many mineral deposits worth exploiting in the territories of Yuqing Sect and Wuzhu Sect. Thousands of years ago, when the Yuqing Sect was at its peak, how could it be possible that it would give up the resources at its doorstep. Therefore, instead of working hard to develop those nearly exhausted mineral deposits, it is better to just spend money to buy them from elsewhere.
It can be said that things that others regard as treasures are not that important here in Yuqing Sect.
It does not rely too much on resources, and it also has an absolute advantage in recruiting talents with its strong influence. What can the Wuzhu Sect do to contain such a Yuqing Sect
"Moreover, they probably didn't expect that the Wuzhu Sect was not willing to just be their pawn. I really want to know what the expressions were on the faces of the people of the Five Sects when they got the news." Jin Dasheng shook his paper fan. , said with a bit of sarcasm.
Everyone in the Yuqing Sect was not furious because of this incident. On the one hand, they had enough confidence in their sect, and on the other hand, they were used to similar things.
In this world, there are too many dirty things between various sects. Even if they are both on the right path, no matter which sect does not put its own interests first. If you get angry over this kind of thing, or even take any drastic action, then the world will not be able to have peace for ten thousand years.
"However, we must also make our attitude clear, so as not to make people think that anyone can take advantage of us." Ye Zan also said calmly.
As someone who comes from the world of science and technology, Ye Zan has no less knowledge about this kind of thing than people like Yu Qingzong. In the world of science and technology, things like this happen between countries and between companies. Therefore, he also knows very well that there is no need to take this kind of thing too seriously, and at the same time, he cannot really say nothing.
"Junior brother, what are your plans?" Mo Ru asked curiously.
Ye Zan said that he should show his attitude, but how to show his attitude is also a problem.
After all, those five sects just sent a large enough gift to the Wuzhu Sect. Even if everyone knew what the five sects meant, the Yuqing Sect had no position to stand up and condemn the five sects. If the Yuqing Sect really stood up and said that the Five Sects should not give such congratulatory gifts to the Wuzhu Sect, I am afraid it would become a joke in the monastic community. If you can't afford it, why don't you care whether others can afford it
"It's okay. During this period, rail transit in several surrounding countries has basically been completed and opened to traffic. Therefore, the cooperation we discussed with Wu Zong before can be suspended. If they still want to build Lingdao in the future, , if you get any preferential treatment, just like everyone else, continue to participate in the construction of rail transit. "Of course Ye Zan will not be stupid enough to ask Yuqingzong to stand up and condemn Wu Zong, just "suspension of cooperation" is enough. It can show the attitude of Yu Qingzong.
In fact, discontinuing cooperation with the Five Sects was something Ye Zan had already considered.
In the construction of rail transit in several countries around Datang, the Five Sects actually contributed very little. Only when the project progressed to their territory, they sent a Nascent Soul Ancestor to help. However, through this method, the benefits that the five sects received from the Yuqing Sect were far higher than those of the Yuan Ying ancestors who came to work, which was obviously very unfair.
At the beginning, the main reason for cooperating with Wu Zong was that the benefits of rail transit had not been fully reflected. Therefore, if the Yuqing Sect wants to send so many ancestors of Yuanying to carry out construction on the territory of the Five Sects, they still need the approval of the Five Sects. Otherwise, if Wu Zong uses some tricks, the rail transit construction project will be greatly affected.
But now, rail transit construction in several countries has been completed, and those countries have also benefited from rail transit. At this time, the Yuqing Sect does not need to send any more people, and if the Five Sects dare to do anything to the rail transit, the rulers of those countries will not allow it, so what is the need for continued cooperation.
Don't underestimate the secular imperial power. That is the so-called destiny. Even second-rate sects such as the Ziyang Sect and the other five sects do not dare to offend the secular imperial power easily.
"Junior brother, will it really have no impact?" Mo Ru knew that Ye Zan was earning merit, so he asked with some worry.
Ye Zan smiled and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, the development of rail transportation is now a general trend. Anyone who dares to stand in front will be prepared to be crushed by the wheels."
Ye Zan's words are not bragging. During this period, the envoys from various countries who came to Yuqingzong to request the construction of rail transit in their countries have almost included all countries in the entire Shenhua Domain. Anyone with any brains can see the impact of rail transit on a country's national strength. No one wants to see other countries boarding rail trains and moving forward at high speed, while only one of them stays in place and does not move.
Although ascetics always regard secular people as ants, that is only a view of secular individuals. And if the entire secular world forms a general trend, even if the ancient true immortals are here, they may only be able to avoid it, or even hope to follow the general trend and make a difference.
"Well, just follow what the junior brother said, let the headmaster send a message to the five sects." Seeing that Ye Zan was very sure, Mo Ru had nothing to worry about.
As for the other members of the Yuqing Sect, they naturally agreed with both hands and feet that they could give some color to the five sects at this time without harming the interests of the sect.
Let’s talk about the Ziyang Sect and the other five sects. We learned earlier that the Wuzhu Sect leaked the contents of the gift list, so they could naturally see the Wuzhu Sect’s practices at a glance. However, apart from scolding a few words, they didn't have much else to do. After all, they still wanted to rely on the Wuzhu Sect to contain the Yuqing Sect. Moreover, the Wuzhu Sect knew how to do things, and they immediately used a thousand-mile voice transmission to explain the matter to the five sects, and their posture was quite in place. Although all five sects knew that the news must have been spread by the Wuzhu Sect on their own initiative, they could only admit it with their noses pinched.
Moreover, Wu Zong also felt that if you expose it, just expose it. Anyway, Yuqing Sect can't do anything to him. The truth is all on your own side. What kind of gifts do you want to give to the Wuzhu Sect? You don’t need your Yuqingzong’s consent. If you Yuqingzong can’t afford it, why don’t you let us give it to you
But then, the Yuqing Sect finally took action. Instead of stupidly standing up and condemning the five sects, they directly informed the five sects to terminate their cooperation.
Although everyone knows that in a few years, spiritual rice will no longer be a rare thing. However, if you can enjoy the benefits of spiritual rice now, who would be willing to wait a few years? You know, these few years are also very important for the disciples of each sect. Maybe, just because of these few years, the talented disciples who should have made great achievements have been delayed.
After the five sects were notified, they naturally did not dare to neglect and immediately sent their respective envoys to the Yuqing Sect.
