The matter of the Fire Dragon Mountain secret realm continued to ferment, and with the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, all kinds of rumors and gossip were flying around, especially in Ningzhou and Pingzhou. Any cultivator with open ears would have heard several versions of the story.
Not to mention the official forum, where the headlines are more shocking than the last in order to attract attention.
Although the players have never been there, it does not affect their ability to seize hot spots and make secondary creations. They start with a picture and make up the rest. If there is anything in common, it is probably the first sentence of the opening - they were at the scene and witnessed it with their own eyes.
As She Xuan said, due to the rumors and the death of a friend of a friend in Fire Dragon Mountain, the cultivators in the two places are no longer as eager to pursue the secret realm as usual. Although they are not afraid of it like tigers and wolves, at least they have learned to think twice before acting.
In crisis, there are opportunities; in sacrifice, there are gains.
Although the opportunity is good, life is more important. We are all long-lived cultivators, and we all know how to make a choice.
When the monks heard this rhythm, they said they had learned a lesson. When the players heard this rhythm, they said they would stay wherever it was cooler. They were not afraid of death, they just liked excitement.
For a time, the number of players descending on Wu Zhou increased greatly. For a few days, the newly added accounts of Taoist cultivators even squeezed out the magic cultivators from the far west and took the top spot.
Lu Bei had no interest in the above. He was worried that he would not be able to complete the task target of Dashengguan this month.
Half a month passed, and it was the beginning of the 825th year of Wu Zhou.
The higher-level mountain gates found that the reincarnated immortals were like radishes in the field. They could be pulled out one by one, and after they were pulled out, there was a hole left. Gradually, they lost interest in recruiting many disciples and focused on training the disciples who had already been trained.
Following closely behind were second-rate sects, such as the Lingxiao Sword Sect, which also gave up the idea of the more the better.
After all, everyone has limited resources, and good resources should be used where they are needed most. The choice is not difficult: should we train one hundred people in the Baodan realm, or one person in the Huashen realm
Then there are the third-rate sects, which have fewer resources but larger numbers. Each of them recruits ten disciples, and the total number far exceeds the sum of the high-level and second-rate sects.
In Lu Bei's eyes, these sects seriously interfered with the market and inflated the wealth of players, causing the number of leeks in Yuhua Sect to decrease day by day. The remaining leeks were also hesitant and more or less had some thoughts of leaving.
The worst thing was that two days ago, the Dingwang Sect, which was also a descendant of Jiuzhu Mountain, secretly sent disciples to Sanqing Peak to seduce him and promised him a lot of benefits, just to invite him back.
How can this be!
Is it that Sect Leader Liu of the Dingwang Sect is getting too arrogant, or is it that Sect Leader Lu of the Yuhua Sect is not strong enough
The players' wealth has been raised to such a level, and yet they are still making a fuss!
Among the Nine Bamboos and Nine Peaks, Hanyue Sect is the best in terms of physical cultivation; Qingguang Sect is the best in terms of magic cultivation; Zhenyuan Sword Sect is the best in terms of sword cultivation; Shuiyue Sect is the best in terms of formation cultivation; Feixue Sect is the best in terms of weapon refining; and Piaoxiang Sect is the best in terms of beautiful women...
Ding Lei, the leader of the Emei Sect, can make money, has the most geese, and the richest assets.
The Yuhua Sect was the poorest and the most corrupt in the past, but now it is the most difficult to deal with.
In short, no matter how bad they all are, if you pick the best from the worst, each one has its own characteristics, and they are all equally bad.
The characteristics of Dingwang Sect are as the name suggests. Among the Nine Peaks, this mountain sect is the best at refining pills. Hearing the players from Sanqing Peak bragging about being the reincarnation of immortals, the leader Liu Ao had some ideas.
Frightened by Lu Bei's rude and unreasonable power, Liu Ao only dared to make some small moves, asking his disciples to make big promises and offer preferential treatment. As long as there were reincarnated immortals to join, their status in the Dingwang Sect of Liuyang Peak would be second only to that of the Sect Leader Liu Ao.
The players said they would wait and see, implying that they were not easy people and it was impossible to take their bodies.
Except for extra money.
With Liu Ao taking action first, the heads of the other peaks could no longer sit still. The reincarnation of an immortal meant a great talent for cultivating immortality. In order to bring glory to their mountain gates, these people fought hard. One by one, they secretly sent disciples to Sanqing Peak to seduce people, and their words made the players feel ecstatic. Although they were all empty promises, they were good at exaggerating and made it sound like the truth.
But it was of no use.
After the performance, the disciples were so tired that their mouths were dry, and the players pulled up their trousers to show their general feeling.
We are all adults. It's useless to just brag. We need to see actual actions. If you want them to transfer, fine. The request is not high. First, give me a bottle of Sanzhuan Peiyuan Dan to moisten my throat.
In the novice village of Jiuzhu Mountain, except Lu Bei, the other eight sect leaders could hardly even take out a single Third Revolution Peiyuan Pill, let alone a bottle of it.
Reluctant to give up such a great opportunity to bring honor to their family, but unable to offer any tangible benefits, several sect leaders gathered together, discussed for a long time, and then sent someone to give Lu Bei an invitation, stating that they wanted to invite him to dinner.
"You don't even have any resources, yet you dare to steal my leeks. You have no experience, what's the use of it? You are misleading the students!"
It’s not that Lu Bei disagrees, but he is presenting facts and reasoning. If players go to Dingwang Sect, it will only be a waste of time. It is better for them to stay in Sanqing Peak and ignore the treatment such as food, clothing, housing and transportation. Everything else is still good.
Besides, even if the Dingwang Sect really puts all its resources into cultivating the 'reincarnated immortal', the upper limit of the novice village is the foundation-building stage, and players will not be able to gain any benefits in the later stage, so they will definitely turn around and leave.
Both parties are losing money and no one makes any profit.
The Jiuzhu clan is of the same blood, and Lu Bei couldn't bear to see everyone's resources go to waste, so he decided to shoulder it all on his own, and to convince them with reason when he attended the banquet today, so that they would not be stubborn and waste time and energy in the end with nothing.
"If you guys recruit people yourself, I won't care, but if you're good at it, don't blame me for not being good at speaking and only using body language to explain life philosophy."
Lu Bei snorted twice and threw the invitation away. Seeing Hu Xuan passing by with Little Apple in his arms, he raised his hand and called her over. He rubbed her head first, then snatched the apple and ran away.
He keeps laughing while running. You can’t catch him. You just can’t catch him.
Hu Xuan: “???”
The little head was filled with big question marks. Everyone had a share of apples, and Elder She asked her to give apples to the headmaster, so...
Why was the leader so happy when he stole his apple
…
Qipan Peak, the fragrant school.
The mountain is facing the shade and is shrouded in mist. The sect is built against the mountain, slanting upwards in a zigzag shape. Most of the buildings are built with white wood. In addition, all members of the sect are female practitioners, and they only accept female disciples. Therefore, they are often coveted by male disciples from other peaks.
Several leaders discussed and decided to hold the dinner here.
There is no other way. We are afraid that someone will overturn the table and get angry halfway through the meal because the taste is not to their liking. With the presence of the female cultivators from the Piaoxiang Sect, I think they will be more restrained.
As the host, Piaoxiang Sect leader Zhao Shiran was unwilling to do so. As low-key as she was, she was most afraid of trouble. Other leaders were afraid that Lu Bei would overturn the table, but she was afraid that Lu Bei would overturn the table and tear down the door.
However, Piaoxiang Sect successfully recruited four reincarnated immortals some time ago. If she disagreed, she would only become a thorn in the eyes of the other peaks. Lu Bei didn't care, she couldn't be so indifferent.
I have no choice but to eat and drink with you today.
Coincidentally, the night before Piaoxiang Sect successfully recruited four female reincarnated immortals, four male leeks left Yuhua Sect.
Um…
It can only be called a coincidence.
"Let me be frank with you. I am only here to eat today. All these miscellaneous matters have nothing to do with me." Du Jinglan from Han Yue Men picked a chair and sat down as soon as he entered the room. The iron man had arm wrestled with Lu Bei before and had a good impression of him.
Since you won't help either of you, why did you come to eat
Several sect leaders were disdainful in their hearts. This was related to whether the sect could prosper. Every one of them present today had no intention of saving their dignity, so let alone speaking false nonsense.
"Master Yang, I didn't expect that even you would come out of seclusion. I haven't seen you for many years. I thought you had passed away."
“You have to come. This old Taoist wants nothing else but to have a last disciple. This way, after a hundred years, Qingguang Temple will not even have a qualified successor.” Yang Fuliu, the most famous master in Jiuzhu Mountain, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
A few months ago, Yang Fuliu, who was in the foundation-building stage, heard that there was a rising star in Jiuzhu Mountain, who had the same cultivation level as him at a young age. He felt that he was living a dog's life at his age.
He was so quiet that he decided to be quiet again, and this quietness led to a state of death retreat.
After sitting in a quiet room for many years, he finally broke through to the great perfection of foundation building before his lifespan was almost exhausted and reached the realm of Baodan. While prolonging his life, he also secured his position as the number one master.
After coming out of retreat, Yang Fuliu heard rumors about the reincarnation of an immortal, and he began to think of accepting another disciple.
Among the Nine Bamboos and Nine Peaks, eight peaks could not attract reincarnated immortals, but the Three Clear Peak could attract two hundred people in one go. Yang Fuliu thought about the reason for this for three days and three nights, and he still couldn't figure it out even after losing a handful of hair.
If you can't figure it out, just don't think about it. Just think about it, he will accept the mantle and inheritance when he reaches the Dan realm, and I will definitely be able to get one on credit if I lose face.
The requirements are not high, just one is enough.
It’s better to be handsome, honest, calm, and not so cunning…
"Greetings to all the masters!"
Lu Bei arrived a step late. After he sat down, there was Huang Guan, the leader of Jiuzhu Mountain, on his left, and Zhao Shiran, the host, on his right. It felt like he had immediately gotten the C-position seat.
It’s a pity that I’m in the C position of the Novice Village, and it’s not very comfortable to sit there.
This was the first time Lu Bei had seen Zhao Shiran from the Piaoxiang School. He had often heard that she was the most beautiful woman in Jiuzhu Mountain, but after seeing her today, she seemed just so-so.
Blame it on Fox Three, it’s all his fault.
Everyone arrived and drinks and delicacies were served one after another.
"Master Lu, your favorite roast goose was specially brought by Master Ding." Huang Guan smiled and pushed a plate of Jiuzhu Mountain specialties in front of Lu Bei. It was a roast goose exclusively produced by Sanqing Peak and produced in Sijing Peak.
"The leader is thoughtful, and Sect Leader Ding is also thoughtful. I will accompany Sect Leader Ding back to Sijing Peak later and sit for a while before leaving."
"… "
"Masters, we are not acquaintances, please speak directly!"
Halfway through the meal, Lu Bei saw that no one had spoken up, and no one had told jokes to warm up the atmosphere, so he put down his chopsticks and said bluntly: "I understand what you all mean, but forcing people to do something is a bit too much. I have an idea for you, so that you can go to Langyu County to recruit people."
"Master Lu, we have all tried it, you don't know..."
Huang Guanda complained about his grievances. They didn't want to force others to do anything, they also wanted to rely on themselves, but the reincarnated immortals were too cold and ignored them.
There are three types of players randomly assigned to the vicinity of Langyu County. The first type is very purposeful and keeps creating accounts just for the rapid upgrade of Sanqing Peak, a novice village;
The second purpose is simple. After creating an account, you can check the forum for surrounding strategies to improve your gaming experience in the future so that there won’t be a huge difference in levels. You can directly choose Sanqing Peak, which has no shortage of experience.
The third type has no purpose, they just want to have fun. There are many players in Sanqing Peak, and when there are many people, there are many cars. There must be a driver for three people, and then everyone is happy.
"No way, is it really that bad?"
Lu Bei felt very sorry to hear this. It was so miserable before they even joined the game. If they really recruited a few players, wouldn't an old man like Huang Guan be so angry that he would die on the spot
If he dies, who will be the leader of Jiuzhu Mountain
