This Is Exactly How Cultivation Works

Chapter 451: The highest good is like water, which flows to the lowest places

Views:

The Tianjian Sect, after the Qingqian Seal was washed away and then re-established, can be considered a famous and upright sect.

The first sect leader was Qi Lijing, the Immortal Sword Master, who was legendary for being invincible throughout his life. It might be a stretch to select him as a moral role model, but no one would object to saying that he was not interested in women and had no worldly desires.

The successor of the Qili Sutra, the second sect leader Lu Bei, even if his moral standards declined to a certain extent, it would not fall drastically.

King Yuan Xuan estimated that Lu Bei was probably using his love for his daughter as a threat and would not actually do anything out of line.

Speaking of facts and reasoning, this is not the first time that Xin Lijun has been captured by Lu Bei. He was safe and sound the previous two times.

But he was not afraid of a thousand things, but of a single event. What if Lu Bei figured it out and degenerated into a devil? If he didn't stop him, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

It’s better to stop him. Although the threat is despicable, it is very effective. He admitted defeat.

"I haven't seen you for ten years, and King Xuan is still as elegant as ever. I admire you so much."

Lu Bei clasped his hands together, and seeing that King Yuanxuan was not buying it, he shrugged and removed the chains that were wrapped around his limbs.

Without the blockade of the Yin-Yang Formation, King Yuan Xuan regained his freedom. He remained calm on the surface, but in fact he was practicing his skills at an accelerated pace, waiting for a chance to escape.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to do this. With the friendly relationship between Wu Zhou and Xiong Chu, this sect leader will not do anything to you. Besides, the Wu Zhou royal family has already given a price, and someone will come to pick you up soon." Lu Bei said with a smile.

"You sold me out?!"

King Yuan Xuan was furious, unwilling to endure such humiliation, and glared at Lu Bei with red eyes...

If you have the guts, put down the iron sword. When I recover from my wounds, we will fight again.

King Yuan Xuan was very dissatisfied with being captured by Lu Bei. You know, in his plan, he wanted to avenge his daughter by capturing Lu Bei and then selling him at a low price of ten taels.

"Don't misunderstand, My Lord Xuan. It's not that I want to sell you, but the Zhu family gave me a price I couldn't refuse."

Lu Bei sighed and said helplessly: "The reconstruction of the Tianjian Sect is now under the protection of others. If not, with my unyielding character, how could I succumb to the tyranny of the Zhu family?"

"Forgive me for being frank, but I have not seen your fortitude. I have only seen your self-degradation and going along with the crowd." King Yuanxuan sneered, telling someone not to flatter himself.

"My Lord, you have misunderstood again. This is not called self-degradation, nor is it called going along with the crowd. This is called being as kind as water."

"What a boast! What does the saying "Supreme Goodness is like Water" have to do with you..."

"As the saying goes, goodness is like water; water flows to the lowest places."

"… "

King Yuanxuan was speechless after being criticized. He was so angry that he didn't want to accept Lu Bei's twisted logic. He said bluntly, "Sect Master Lu, just speak frankly. What do you want from me?"

"I have a business to discuss with the prince."

"Business?"

King Yuanxuan frowned, seriously suspecting that Lu Bei's so-called business was to sell his daughter Xinlijun to him.

"This sect master has two members of the Xuanlong royal family in his hands. The Xuan King saw them ten years ago. They were a pair of siblings who had white hair at a young age."

Lu Bei said: "According to gossip, Xiong Chu and Xuan Long don't have a good relationship. King Xuan can buy these two away and humiliate Xuan Long as much as he wants."

And then, let you Wu Zhou watch the show

King Yuanxuan was unmoved and decisively rejected the deal: "I don't know where Sect Master Lu heard the rumor from. Xiong Chu and Xuan Long have been friends for many years, and the royal families of the two families often visit each other. If the Tianjian Sect is short of money, it should go to the Wuzhou Zhu family."

"I'm afraid not. Wu Zhou and Xuan Long are allies, so there's no room for negotiation on this deal."

"What a coincidence, Xiong Chu and Xuan Long are also allies."

"… "

Good fellow, none of you dare to speak loudly to Xuan Long.

Lu Bei secretly thought it was bad luck. He had finally picked up two white hairs, so he couldn't let them go. He advised kindly, "My Lord Xuan, please think about it again. Don't rush to refuse. After all, Li Jun is still in my hands. You know that Li Jun is very beautiful, and I am just at the age of full of vigor and vitality. It's hard to guarantee that there won't be any accidents when we are alone."

"The relationship between the two countries is based on interests, not individuals. If Sect Master Lu is hot-blooded, he can just leave."

King Yuan Xuan said coldly, "But I have something to say. My Xiong Chu women, especially my beloved daughter, are gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, and have an unyielding spirit. If Sect Master Lu dares to touch her, she will dare to conceive your bloodline. How will you deal with it then? I'm afraid Sect Master Lu will be asking for trouble."

Dear old father, do you have any misunderstanding about your daughter

Lu Bei rolled his eyes. The last time he captured Xin Lijun, he was too arrogant. The latter got scared even faster than him. It was clear that he was just a strong king.

The old father loves his daughter, but once the interests rise to the level of the country, his daughter has to step aside. This shows the ruthlessness of the royal family.

After making sure that Xiong Chu really didn't dare to speak loudly to Xuan Long, Lu Bei went straight to the next topic. The black and white colors faded away, and he brought King Yuan Xuan to the small world and gave him the stone tablet diary for him to read.

King Yuan Xuan did not understand what Lu Bei meant at first. He translated the ancient text of Daxia line by line. The more he read, the more shocked he became. As smart as he was, he immediately solved the mystery of how Yiliang was destroyed overnight.

Gravekeeper, what kind of force is this

King Yuanxuan's expression remained unchanged, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Sect Master Lu, you have a grudge against the gravekeeper, and you want to form an alliance with me?"

"No regrets, it's not an exaggeration to say we are strangers, I just want to kindly remind King Xuan."

"Oh, you'd be so kind?"

"It seems that King Xuan has a deep misunderstanding of this Sect Master!"

Lu Bei sighed with regret, saying that life is not easy, while sending King Yuan Xuan back to the small room and tying him up, rubbing his hands and leaving: "The Xiongchu woman is unyielding, but this sect master does not believe it. I want to try to see if Li Jun is really like what King Xuan said."

“Hehehehe—”

The black and white doors closed, and after a while, King Yuan Xuan could no longer bear it, and he cursed in the small dark room. What immortal sword master, what famous and upright sect, with such a leader, the Tianjian Sect will sooner or later become a demon sect.

Bang!

Lu Bei kicked the door open, strode forward, and looked down at Zhao Wugou.

The paid plot was not skipped and nothing happened in between. No matter how flexible Ningzhou Lu's moral bottom line is, there is still a basic lower limit. The words he said before leaving were purely to disgust King Yuanxuan.

Zhao Wujiu was hit hard by the swordsman Dugu, and both his soul and body were injured. Although he did not die for the time being, he had lost most of his life. At this moment, he woke up quietly. He should not be indifferent in prison. He looked at Lu Bei with calm eyes.

"Brother, you're awake!"

"… "

"It may be a little abrupt to call you that, but it will be soon. Your sister lives next door. After tonight, we will be relatives." Lu Bei said impulsively.

Zhao Wujiu nodded and slowly closed his eyes.

Lu Bei: …

Well, another cold-blooded royal kid.

Unable to gain the upper hand over Zhao Wujiu, Lu Bei decided to do something ruthless. He didn't believe that there was really no affection between the brother and sister. The brother was indifferent to seeing his sister fall into the clutches of the devil, and the sister could be the same.

Bang!

Lu Bei kicked open the small room where Zhao Wuxia was imprisoned. Inside the room, the white-haired girl was kneeling on the ground with her hands wrapped around the chains and pulled to her sides. She had been hit hard by Dugu and her clothes were seriously torn.

Sensing Lu Bei's breath, Zhao Wuxia opened his eyes weakly.

"Sister, wake up!"

Lu Bei took out a single piece of clothing and covered Zhao Wuxia with it to hide her sudden exposure. He said with some embarrassment, "You may not believe this, but the elder brother who has been with you for many years is actually the elder sister. Lu and she are in love with each other. As long as you nod, we can perform the double cultivation ceremony tonight."

Zhao Wuxia tilted her head, her eyes empty. When she heard that her elder brother had become an elder sister, she was somewhat confused.

Then, under Lu Bei's confused gaze, she nodded and approved of the marriage.

Lu Bei: …

What kind of matching mechanism allows you two, a pair of top-notch people, to become brother and sister

Lu Bei couldn't understand it. He and Hu San were already the best, and they claimed that they were unprecedented and unrivaled. However, he didn't expect that there would be a group in modern times that was better than them.

It could be that the medicine was too strong, or it could be that it was not strong enough.

Lu Bei chose to believe the second one. He raised his hand to lift Zhao Wuxia's chin, held it in his palm, and stroked her delicate skin with his fingertips. He said happily: "Look carefully, my sister is also very beautiful. Why do I need a big sister? You are enough for me."

Zhao Wuxia was stunned again, but this time he did not nod, and his eyes became alert for a moment.

Great, finally a normal person!

Lu Bei was overjoyed. His efforts were worth it. He finally found a breakthrough. He immediately took advantage of the situation and lifted up the single piece of clothing covering Zhao Wuxia. "Of course, I am not a villain who would take advantage of others. As long as you..."

Two lines of clear tears rolled down, Zhao Wuxia closed his eyes, his face turned cold, and he completely gave up resisting.

Lu Bei: …

Damn it, don't give up, just listen to what I have to say!

At this point, Lu Bei couldn't help but miss Master Qi Bu Zi. If every fusion period was like her, taking two group photos and obeying her orders, the world would have been peaceful long ago.

"How about we try the white-haired guy again and really turn him into a big sister?"

Quiet room.

Lu Bei checked the task summary, took out the jade gourd and started studying the innate golden essence. He felt justified in saying this, as he was still thinking about the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife.

"The innate gold essence is gold, and the white tiger in the Western Jade Emperor Dao Sutra is also gold. They both belong to the element of gold. The two may be related. Why not find my cousin and sit down to discuss the Dao? Maybe we can gain something."

Just as he was talking to himself, there was a knock on the door of the quiet room, and Zhan Hongqu walked in timidly, holding a teapot.

Wow, you’re sending tea again. Can’t you change your tactics

Lu Bei glanced coldly and said, "Female disciple, just put down the tea. This sect master has reached a critical moment in comprehending the Immortal Sword Intention. Please leave quickly and do not disturb us if you have nothing else to do."

"Master, I have something to tell you."

Zhan Hongqu put down the tea and took out a piece of information in a businesslike manner: "This is the Xuanlong information that the sect master wants, which contains the information of Jian Xiong Dugu."

“So soon?”

Lu Bei was surprised and asked in confusion: "I remember asking Elder Lian to check the information, how did it end up in your hands?"

Zhan Hongqu also didn't know. Lian Lin threw the information to her and then left.

"Okay, I got the information, you can leave now."

"… "

"Why, not this time?"
