"You... know how to refine Qi Gathering Pills?" Zhou Tong was taken aback.
"Otherwise, where do you think this Qi Gathering Pill came from?" Ye Xingchen couldn't help but laugh.
"Is Mr. Ye's statement true?" Mo Bufan stood up abruptly, his tone extremely excited.
If what Ye Xingchen said is true, then so what if he completely follows Ye Xingchen's lead from now on?
This is the person in charge of the Qi Gathering Pill formula. Even if rare and precious materials are hard to find, it's not impossible for them to find them by pooling the resources of all six sects.
As long as there is a sufficient supply of rare and precious materials, there will be a continuous supply of Qi Gathering Pills, which is an immense temptation for anyone.
"Who am I to joke with you like that?" Ye Xingchen retorted.
“Of course not. Mr. Ye has possessed the Soul-Locking Pill before.” Zhou Tong’s tone was also very excited: “It’s not surprising that you have the formula for the Qi-Gathering Pill.”
"So, are you still going to reconsider?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"No need to consider it. I can't control others, but I, Mo Bufan, am willing to serve Mr. Ye from now on." Mo Bufan said directly, "Just tell me what Mr. Ye wants me to do."
"I, Zhou Tong, am also willing to do my bit for Mr. Ye." Zhou Tong quickly added, "Just don't forget me when Mr. Ye is refining the Qi Gathering Pill."
"We are also willing to follow Mr. Ye's orders."
The remaining people then realized what was happening and quickly expressed their willingness to listen to Ye Xingchen.
But their reaction was a beat too slow. They cursed Mo Bufan and Zhou Tong inwardly for being such old foxes, not even discussing such a big matter first.
"Alright, then do as I say. Send out a challenge, saying that in two days someone will come to Qingxianju to challenge Ding Yulong, and that he will definitely take Ding Yulong's head," Ye Xingchen said.
“Alright, then this Qi Gathering Pill…” Mo Bufan stared intently at the pill.
"These items belong to your six sects. As for how to distribute them, that's up to you." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, stood up, and left with Si Qianyu.
The people in the pavilion stared at each other, their gazes revealing a hint of murderous intent.
"There's only one pill, but the six sects belong to six different martial arts schools." After leaving, Si Qianyu asked in confusion, "If you give them the pill and let them distribute it themselves, won't they start fighting?"
"Perhaps my goal is to incite them to fight amongst themselves?" Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
"You...did this on purpose?" Si Qianyu was slightly taken aback.
"Yes, the Six Sects are arrogant and self-important. Even if I am strong and have the Qi Gathering Pill as a condition, it will be difficult to make them completely obey my orders." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "The reason why the Six Sects can stand in the martial world is because they are united."
"Therefore, we must divide them from within. It's not that they are impossible to penetrate; they just don't have enough incentive to do so," Ye Xingchen said with a slight smile.
“That’s true.” Si Qianyu nodded slowly, then rolled her eyes at Ye Xingchen: “You’re so cunning.”
"Haha, thank you for the compliment." Ye Xingchen laughed heartily.
Three hundred li west of Yanxi lies Taiping Lake.
Taiping Lake stretches for hundreds of miles, its surface as smooth as a mirror, surrounded by continuous mountain peaks, exuding a spiritual aura.
In the very center of the lake, there is a small building, which is the place where Qingxianju is located.
A man who looked to be in his forties, dressed in a blue robe, was fishing by the lake. His hair was tied up, and he was dressed as a Taoist.
Four boys stood on either side, some playing the zither, others holding incense, all with impressive poise.
The picturesque Taiping Lake further enhanced the ethereal aura of the man in the green robe.
This man is Ding Yulong, who is nearly seventy years old this year. However, he obtained a secret technique by chance many years ago, and with his strength reaching the Heavenly Realm, he has the skill to preserve his youth, which makes him look only in his early forties.
Just then, a disciple rushed over in a hurry. He looked hesitant, wanting to call Ding Yulong, but he didn't dare.
After all, Ding Yulong was not allowed to be disturbed when he was fishing, but this matter was of great importance, and the disciple was caught in a dilemma.
"Speak your mind. Hesitation will prevent you from achieving great things." Ding Yulong slowly opened his eyes.
"Yes, Master." The disciple gritted his teeth: "News has come from Yanjing that all three of my senior uncles... have been killed."
Ding Yulong's half-closed eyes snapped open, instantly filled with murderous intent: "Who did this?"
“A man named Ye Xingchen, and he has united the six sects, widely issuing invitations to heroes, saying that in two days…” The disciple stopped here.
"Tell me, what will happen in two days?" Ding Yulong said coldly.
"Two days later, storm Qingxian Residence and take Master's..." The disciple dared not continue.
"Take my head?" Ding Yulong sneered, throwing his fishing rod heavily. With a loud bang, a huge wave exploded on the water's surface.
Countless fish were blown away, and the once peaceful Taiping Lake is now covered with dead fish.
He was enraged. A master of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, when enraged, could cause rivers of blood to flow.
"I, Ding Yulong, have been away from my secluded abode for so long that people in the martial world have probably forgotten about me. Heh, what an arrogant fool! I'd like to see what he can use to take my head." Ding Yulong laughed wildly.
"Who exactly is he? Why did he kill me? To gain fame? For revenge?"
After laughing, Ding Yulong glanced at his disciple.
"It's about... the Su family back then." The disciple bowed.
“The Su family…” Ding Yulong’s gaze gradually deepened, and he remained silent for a long time: “It seems that my three junior brothers still fell at the hands of the Su family.”
"Back then, I showed mercy and didn't kill that little girl completely. I never imagined that it would become a problem twenty years later."
"Very well, it is a great taboo in the martial arts world to not cut the weeds at the root. This time, I will wipe the Su family out of the martial arts world completely."
"Master, are you going to go down the mountain to fight?" the disciple asked cautiously.
As soon as he said it, he immediately regretted it. Ding Yulong had not left his secluded residence for twenty years.
Some say he is trying to comprehend the Dao, while others say he has made a powerful enemy and dares not leave his secluded abode.
Without the blessing of the hundred-mile fortune of Taiping Lake, he was just an ordinary Heavenly Realm cultivator.
Wasn't his statement just bringing up a sore spot?
"Get lost." Ding Yulong waved his hand, and the disciple quickly bowed and fled as if escaping.
Watching his disciple leave, Ding Yulong let out a long sigh of relief, his expression becoming complicated.
The reason he hasn't left Qingxian Residence for twenty years is twofold. Firstly, his strength is entirely contained within the six sword lotuses he cultivates there. Once he leaves Qingxian Residence, his strength will plummet.
