Chapter 356 “Crowdfunding”(1/2)
Meng Zhou's own spiritual practice career can basically be described as "plain as water".
Not only will he not take the initiative to stir up trouble, but if there are signs of trouble affecting him, he will proactively and secretly eliminate the trouble in advance.
This created the illusion that his journey was always uneventful.
For example, I still don’t know, and I don’t need to know what happened to me and who killed me in the Lihen Sect.
Another example is Song Yang and the Mingxin Pavilion behind him, together with the Mingxin Pavilion in the other four regions;
Yu Qiao, the Qiao family behind him, and several other Anzi spies who were loyal to Xingxiu Palace;
They didn't even have a real face-to-face meeting with Meng Zhou, the righteous master. After determining that they were likely to disrupt his peaceful practice life, Meng Zhou began to use his own methods to kill this possibility before it sprouted.
And some arrangements that cannot be avoided as one's cultivation level increases, if someone else handles them, it can easily cause a storm.
But in Meng Zhou's hands, it gives people a natural and bland feeling.
For example, he became the president of the Professionals Association as the "Qihuang Clan Master" and "Qihuang Zi" who had never appeared in the world before and was absolutely unfamiliar to the five sects, and he appeared in front of the five sects with dignity.
Although it caused quite a stir, compared to the excitement and impact of the incident itself, it was only a small splash.
As for carving out a Qiyun Peak in the hinterland of the Qingxuanzong Mountain Gate as a place for self-cultivation, that is the perfect expression of the logic of this behavior.
This is Meng Zhou's style of acting. Whenever possible, he will always subconsciously make a choice with a gentle heart that least disturbs himself and the outside world.
But this is just his choice.
This is not the mainstream in the five domains.
Since the beginning of practitioners, the world of spiritual practice has never been truly "calm".
This has been even more true in the years since Meng Zhou embarked on the path of spiritual practice.
The storm in the Qingxuan Domain was turbulent and endless. From the day he opened his eyes in the small courtyard by the Baijiang River, it has never stopped until now.
Big events come one after another.
Other realms have also never experienced true peace and tranquility.
At the level of the five sects, the Yuling Sect has "showed its face" many times in succession.
Each of the five sects holds five third-level spiritual veins. After a hundred years of "peace", the first "ancestor" to fall has appeared;
——Originally, the Hehuan Sect had a high probability of sharing this record with the Lingyu Sect, but they were lucky. At this time, a master pharmacist "Qi Huangzi" appeared.
There was internal fighting within the sect at the ancestor level, and the entire sect was split into two from top to bottom. The Yuling Sect was also the first, and now the only one.
The ripples caused by this not only involved the entire Soul Controlling Sect, no one was spared, but the entire Soul Controlling Domain was severely impacted.
This impact did not even stop at the Spirit Controlling Domain, but was also spreading to the other four domains, creating new agitation.
It hasn't stopped until this point.
The only ancestor in the mountain gate, the Guangcheng ancestor, either had greed that overcame his reason, or his obsession with pursuing the great road overcame others. When the five sects acted together to explore the altar, he took the lead.
A brave attempt was made.
For him personally, the ending is undoubtedly bleak.
But for everyone except him, the ending is bright.
Patriarch Guangcheng used his own sacrifice to verify the feasibility of robbing the Void God Crystal on the spot.
It also reveals the huge risks of such behavior.
This is the basis for everyone's actions on this trip.
At the same time, the Mingnan ancestor who was "wandering" in Qingxuan Territory also got the opportunity to return to the Yuling Sect.
Instead of being beaten back, I was welcomed back in a dignified manner.
One of the more amazing things is that although Patriarch Guangcheng has disabled himself, the combat power of the Patriarch of Yuling Sect has not decreased.
This is because Patriarch Mingnan used the unique secret method of Yuling Sect to achieve "heart-to-heart" with Patriarch Guangcheng.
The two people who originally hated each other and only had internal conflicts became partners who could depend on life and death. In terms of combat power, one plus one is greater than two.
To put it more clearly, Ancestor Guangcheng became a "human-shaped beast" that was completely controlled by Ancestor Mingnan.
This kind of behavior, in Meng Zhou's view, is undoubtedly a very "demon" approach.
This also impacts the basic values of the spiritual world. What if the person who did this was not the Ancestor Mingnan, but some other spirit master.
This kind of "treating people as beasts" has long since died without a burial place.
But whether it was the Yuling Sect or the other four sects, they all had a tacit and implicitly approving attitude towards this.
For other Spirit Controlling Sect monks, the Spirit Controlling Sect has suffered successive blows, and the gap between it and the other four sects has become very large.
The number and combat performance of the ancestors of a sect are the core competitiveness of a sect.
As for the ancestors of the other four sects, their acquiescence was only because the ancestor Mingnan had promised them:
"Ancestor Guangcheng is not mine alone, but belongs to everyone. He will be our vanguard from now on!"
In a word, from now on everyone will act together. If there is any dangerous job, Patriarch Guangcheng will bravely take it on.
Such as now.
As the phantom of the Lihen Statue approached, Patriarch Mingnan called out Patriarch Guangcheng.
Ancestor Fengdan of the Alchemy Sect handed an elixir to Ancestor Mingnan and warned:
"You let him take it when the time comes. This violent blood-strengthening pill can temporarily more than double the strength of his soul. If he encounters a blow like the last time again, with the help of this pill, he can sustain it.
longer."
Patriarch Mingnan took the elixir and asked, "Are there any side effects?"
Ancestor Fengdan paused and told the truth.
"The great increase in the strength of the soul comes at the cost of burning blood essence and overdrawing the source of life.
This elixir acts like fire. You decide how much it burns. However, the more essence and blood are burned and the source of life is overdrawn, the greater the damage to the foundation of the avenue.
If the overdraft is excessive, your cultivation may even decline and you may die on the spot.”
Listening to the narration of Patriarch Fengdan, Patriarch Mingnan looked calm, with no surprise in his expression.
——Of course he wasn't surprised, since he wouldn't be the one taking the elixir anyway.
After listening to the introduction, Ancestor Mingnan nodded calmly and said: "I will let him use it at the most appropriate time."
At this moment, the Jinding Sect's Mountain Destroying Ancestor also had something in his hand.
He threw this object into the hands of Ancestor Mingnan. It was a set of leather clothes that were bronze in color but extremely soft.
The ancestor of Mingnan took it in his hands, and the leather jacket that hung naturally showed a texture like fine silk.
Seeing this thing, Ancestor Mingnan was full of surprise, "You gave me this thing? Why are you so generous this time?"
Among the five sects, Jinding Sect is relatively shabby.
On the one hand, the consumption of dual cultivation of magic and body is even greater, and on the other hand, the Jinding Sect does not have such key products as the elixir weapon of the Alchemy Sect, the beast control and puppets of the Lingyu Sect.
Therefore, the ancestor of Mingnan did not have much hope for the Jinding Sect.
However, on the other hand, we can also see how precious this thing is.
Patriarch Deshan rolled his eyes and said:
"What are you thinking about? I borrowed it! This thing is only for temporary use. Remember to return it after you use it later!"
Ancestor Mingnan nodded, "Okay."
As he spoke, he gently threw the leather coat in his hand towards Patriarch Guangcheng next to him.
The soft bronze leather coat quickly unfolded in the air, showing a complete humanoid outline.
When it is fully unfolded, it looks like a burly real person with bronze skin standing in the void.
This is a complete human skin.
The fallen bronze human skin quickly fell down, completely attached to Ancestor Guangcheng, and then quickly integrated into Ancestor Guangcheng's body.
When this human skin was completely integrated, Patriarch Guangcheng didn't look any different.
But if you look carefully, you will find that the color of his skin seems to be slightly darker.
At this moment, Yin Youyi threw out two jade pendants, which landed in the hands of ancestor Mingnan.
These two jade pendants, one pure white, have many curved lines, giving people a graceful, graceful and extremely light feeling;
A piece of pure black with many sharp corners, giving people a feeling that they would rather break than bend, extremely hard and sharp;
But when the two jade pendants are put together, they can completely overlap.
In other words, their outline shapes are actually exactly the same.
Yin Youyi introduced: "When the time comes, you two will each wear one, and you can bear some injuries on his behalf."
Ancestor Mingnan frowned when he heard this.
Yin Youyi naturally knew what he was thinking and said calmly:
To be continued...
