521 Pill Soul Sect's Decision
The hall fell silent for a moment. Everyone thought of the miserable situation of the Danhun Sect now, and they felt a little cold. Once upon a time, the Danhun Sect, which was shocked in all directions in Nanyuezhou, was now bullied by a mere fourth-level sect like the Hidden Sword Sect and was in danger of destroying the sect. How sad is this...
A middle-aged male cultivator with a rough face said furiously: "The Hidden Sword Sect attempts to swallow up my Danhun Sect and seize the spring of my sect's time. It's simply a delusion! Even if you fight for a fish and a death-death net, you can't let them do it! I think I will take people over and grab all the disciples they snatched back today! If they want to trigger a battle between the sect, then fight with them!"
"Calm down, don't be impulsive..." The first white-clothed old man on the left said, "Our sect is weak, so you must not launch a sect battle easily, otherwise you may fall into a state of endless doom. We have already let the sect left by our ancestors decline to level 4. Do you still need to let it be removed from the cultivation world from now on? Then even if we die with the Hidden Sword Sect, how can we face the ancestors and sects in the nine springs?"
The rough male cultivator blushed and said frustratedly: "Then are we just watching them bully us?! They are robbing our new disciples now, which is to cut off the future of our sect! The next generation of our sect will be even worse than them in the future. I am afraid that it will be too late even if we want to resist!"
The elegant old man said in a deep voice: "I naturally know this, but there is still hope now. Although three teams we sent to recruit disciples today were stolen, aren't Shousong and others successful? And he also brought back a good seedling with the qualification of the top-grade Fire Spirit Root. To cultivate it well, it will definitely be the hope of our sect in the future. Moreover, we can send people to recruit disciples in other places. At worst, we can go a little further and we will always find it."
He paused a little and continued: "Also, the Wanyao Mountain Trial is also a hope for our sect to rise; and, the next Dan League rookie competition is also an opportunity. Therefore, now is not the time to fight against Hidden Sword Sect, you have to endure..."
“…”
After listening to the words of the elegant old man, everyone in the hall fell silent again, but this time the anger and depressedness in their eyes faded a lot, as if the words of the elegant old man rekindled hope.
"Okay, let's put aside the matter of taking the disciples this time, and give them instructions later, so that the disciples below should not be impulsive and must not seek revenge at the people of the Hidden Sword Sect to avoid being hurt. As the Great Elder said, we can only endure now..."
Tao Qing, the first person, finally spoke. As the leader of a sect, he felt more aggrieved than anyone else when he said such words, but he had to bear the hatred at this moment. He secretly calmed down his emotions and changed the subject and said, "By the way, Shousong, what is the Lin Feng you mentioned before..., do you know?"
Li Shousong replied: "According to what he said, he was a casual cultivator from Shangguo, the West. When Yunyou practiced at this time, he was injured and was so angry that he lived in seclusion in a small village in my hometown. In addition, I also learned from the villagers that he was discovered by the Ye family grandfather and grandson in the village at the foot of a mountain outside the village. At that time, he fell down from the mountain and was seriously injured and brought back to the village by the Ye family grandson. Before that, everyone thought he was just an ordinary person, and it was not until today that he knew that he was actually a monk."
After answering these, Li Shousong hesitated for a moment and continued: "According to my observation, Senior Lin should not be a vicious person, otherwise he would not have lived with a village of mortals so approachable for so long. He also helped me with righteousness today, and he did not mention any remuneration afterwards. I guess he should be a master who likes to hide the world, and I suspect that his cultivation is not only more than the fifth level of the golden elixir I felt at that time, but there may be something hidden."
He first said this long paragraph to pave the way, and then expressed his original intention: "Sect Master, Senior Lin committed the crime of the Hidden Sword Sect because of our sect. He destroyed Xu Rongnan's flying sword. Hidden Sword Sect probably won't let it go, so the disciple wants to... want to ask the sect if necessary..."
"Haha, I know what you want to say." Tao Qing raised his hand to stop Li Shousong and continued, laughing, "But I think you are too worried. Since Lin Feng dared to take action without hesitation at that time, it would be impossible for him to not consider this. Either he really hides stronger strength as you guessed, and is not afraid of the revenge of the Hidden Sword Sect at all, or he has already planned to leave there, even if the Hidden Sword Sect wants to take revenge, he will probably not be able to find him."
He thought for a while and continued, "But he did help our sect this time, and we should have made some statements. I think he would invite him to visit our sect, not for protection, but for thanking him - didn't he say he was injured by his practice? My sect happened to have pills in this regard, so he would give him a gift."
"In my opinion, it's better to invite him directly to my Danhun Sect and serve as the position of worshiping the elders." At this time, the first elder on the right side below interjected, "If he is really a hidden paradise, it will definitely be of great benefit to our Sect to invite him as a helper; even if his strength is not as strong as we expect, it will be at least the fifth level of the Golden Pill, and he is qualified to hold this position, which is also a helper."
His bold proposal made everyone around him stunned for a moment, and some people couldn't help but say, "This... is probably not good, right? Isn't it too hasty? After all, we are not sure about his true background at all. If he actually..." He didn't finish the following words, but everyone knew what it meant, saying that if Lin Feng was actually ill-behaved, then this would be a wolf into the house.
The elder said, "I'm just a suggestion, and I don't know if he will agree. If he refuses, there is no need to force it. But if he agrees, after he enters the sect, we can use the 'Pill Soul' to test it. If he is ill-behaved, it will be natural to know."
Everyone was shocked and someone said, "What?! Use the 'Pill Soul'?! Is this a big deal? With the current savings of our sect, if we use the 'Pill Soul', we may have a considerable burden..."
Another person pondered: "No, I think the proposal of the Great Elder is good. The use of the 'Pill Soul' is very necessary. It is not only to test Lin Feng, but also to take this opportunity to find out the traitors in the sect to eliminate hidden dangers in the sect!"
"Yes! This is the fastest way to find out the traitors in the sect! I think it's feasible, too!"
"The traitors in the sect must be eliminated, and it is worth paying a little price for this! Use the 'Pill Soul' to test whether Lin Feng is malicious, and heal him. It can be considered as giving him a favor, and finding the traitors of the sect... It will kill many kills! I also agree with the proposal of the Great Elder!"
Everyone's attitudes gradually became consistent, and they all turned their eyes to Tao Qing, the first one. Tao Qing's eyes flashed, as if they were secretly calculating. After a moment, he looked certain and nodded, "Okay! Then I'll do it as planned, and I will follow the proposal of the elder! As for the task of inviting Lin Feng... who would like to go there?"
The old man in white next to the Great Elder said, "Let me go. I am quite curious about Lin Feng and I really want to see this person first."
Li Shousong recommended himself: "Disciple is willing to lead the way!"
Tao Qing nodded and said, "Okay, then let Elder Guo and Shousong go. You can set off immediately, in case the Juejian Gate takes action first, go and return quickly!"
…………
...
After resting for a night, Lin Feng wanted to help Ye Tianming stimulate his cultivation qualifications, but unexpectedly, he welcomed visitors the next morning - much faster than he expected.
"Please be the elder of the Danhun Sect?"
Outside the village, Lin Feng met Elder Guo and Li Shousong. After a moment of conversation, Elder Guo understood his intention, which surprised Lin Feng.
Elder Guo smiled and said, "This is a decision made by the leader of our sect and all the elders. We are absolutely sincere. We hope that fellow Daoist Lin will consider it. Of course, if fellow Daoist Lin is unwilling, we will not force it, but at least we will also invite our sect to be a guest for a few days to give us a chance to express our gratitude. Shousong said that fellow Daoist Lin was injured by his practice and became possessed by the devil. Our sect just happens to have some such elixirs to help you heal your wounds."
"Oh? Take it seriously?" Lin Feng's eyes were slightly bright. After pondering for a moment, he nodded, "It's hard to refuse the kindness, so Lin would be more respectful than to obey his orders. To be honest, my soul has not been damaged and my cultivation has not been fully restored. I am very grateful for this. I can get the medicine to help you... As for the position of offering elders, since the sect does not dislike Lin's low cultivation, I am willing to contribute my strength to the sect. However, I may not be able to stay in the sect for a long time. When I recover from my injury, I may leave, I don't know..."
Elder Guo's eyes flashed with joy and said with a smile: "Of course there is no problem. If Fellow Daoist Lin wants to leave, we will never stop it. Moreover, if you allow our sect to worship the elders, you will not be subject to any restrictions. On weekdays, you can occasionally guide the disciples in the sect to practice according to your preferences, or to maintain our sect's comfort when necessary, and you can act freely at the rest of the time, and our sect will never interfere."
As he said this, he was thinking about the sentence Lin Feng said just now, "The cultivation level has not been fully restored yet." This shows that the other party's true cultivation level is indeed more than the fifth level of the Golden Pill. Moreover, from the other party's calm attitude towards the Nascent Soul Stage himself, his original cultivation level may be the Nascent Soul Stage - there are only four Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in the Danhun Sect. If Lin Feng can be more than one, it will be a great thing.
Lin Feng showed a satisfied look in his eyes and smiled and said, "Then there is no problem... When will we set off?"
"The faster the better." Elder Guo said, "The Hidden Sword Sect will likely take action at any time, so we'd better return to the sect as soon as possible."
Lin Feng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and deal with something now, and then we'll set off."
The three of them turned around and walked into the village. Lin Feng walked in front, with a hint of undetectable smile on his lips - everything was in the plan.
He had been worried about how to visit Danhun Sect. When he saw the conflict between Li Shousong and Xu Rongnan yesterday, he had an idea. He naturally would not miss the opportunity to get a relationship with Danhun Sect when he was delivered to him, so he decisively taught Xu Rongnan a lesson, and also deliberately "pretend" a "hidden master" style that suits his current appearance, and the later concocted rhetoric of "secret residence and healing", which were all deliberately inducement and give Danhun Sect more "reasons" to invite him.
In his prediction, the chance of the Danhun Sect inviteing himself to visit should be very high. In that case, it would be much better than taking the initiative to visit. When he goes to the Danhun Sect, he can stay for more time on the grounds of healing his wounds and take the opportunity to investigate information about the Cangyan of Time. However, he didn't expect that the other party would directly invite him to serve as the elder of the Danhun Sect. This can be said to be just right, and now it will be more convenient to act in the future.
As for offending the Hidden Sword Sect for this... To be honest, Lin Feng didn't take this level 4 sect seriously at all.
