Lin Yu, Bai Chen, Jian Yi and others' expressions changed again. They had long known that modern technology was developing extremely rapidly, and powerful thermal weapons were emerging in an endless stream. With their cultivation alone, it was difficult for them to control the situation in one direction as they did hundreds of years ago. At most, they could play a role in some special occasions.
However, they are unwilling to admit this, and choose to stick to their old ways, stubbornly maintaining the superior attitude of practitioners.
It’s a pity that Shen Qi never gave them any face and shattered their last bit of persistence right from the start.
Of course, Shen Qi is not simply denying the cultivators. If Feng Chenzi and the others had the same cultivation level as Shen Qi, Shen Qi's words would not have caused such a significant blow to them.
It can only be said that Feng Chenzi and his companions are not good enough in cultivation and have been abandoned by the times. If they cannot make changes according to the progress of the times, their fate in the future will be even worse.
In other words, from now on, spiritual energy will revive, and all practitioners will be able to have more powerful cultivation in a short period of time. Then the status of practitioners will inevitably be greatly improved, and it is not impossible to reach the situation of hundreds of years ago.
In the final analysis, it can only be said that in this environment of thin spiritual energy and under the premise of continuous development of science and technology, the status of practitioners will inevitably decline again and again.
When Mr. Wu saw Shen Qi speaking so harshly, he hurried out to smooth things over.
"Everyone, listen to me! Although Shen Qi's words were too blunt, they also largely pointed out the awkward position you cultivators currently find yourself in. You hope to gain a higher social status, be recognized by more people, and hope to pass on your sect. I understand this, and I can also provide you with various kinds of assistance. Please believe that I come here with full goodwill."
Lin Yu sneered, "You mean well? Then tell me what's going on with those helicopters behind you? Is that your kindness?"
Elder Wu laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin Yu, you're being a bit too extreme. This is the first time we've met. You possess powerful cultivation, while I'm just an ordinary person. My identity is also a bit sensitive. How could I possibly come to see you without any precautions? Even if I wanted to do so, the people around me wouldn't allow it. After all, we're both past the age of being willful. What do you think?"
Lin Yu snorted coldly, but did not continue to refute.
Mr. Wu has a special status, and he must be adequately guarded wherever he goes. This must not change.
Bai Chen asked, "You just said you wanted to help us, so I want to hear how you plan to help us."
Seeing Bai Chen's attitude, Elder Wu knew there was room for negotiation, so he said, "I can provide you with a place to practice so you won't be disturbed by anyone. I can also do my best to provide you with all the resources you need to ensure your practice isn't interrupted. If anyone causes you trouble, I can also step in to resolve it."
Bai Chen is an old and experienced man. Although Mr. Wu's words sound nice, he still understands the hidden meaning behind them.
"According to what you said, aren't all of our cultivation sects controlled by you?"
“It’s not about control, it’s about collaboration.”
Elder Wu explained, "First of all, I must make one thing clear: I have absolutely no intention of controlling your cultivation sect. I simply want to cooperate in a mutually acceptable way, for mutual benefit, and ultimately achieve a win-win situation."
"You have been in seclusion for a long time and have become out of touch with this era. Therefore, I believe that you need to integrate into society as soon as possible. Only in this way can your sect develop better."
"On the other hand, although we have mastered powerful technology, we also need powerful practitioners to help us do certain things. Therefore, I believe that the relationship between us is one of win-win cooperation, not one party leading and the other being a vassal."
Bai Chen was too lazy to listen to what Old Wu had to say and asked directly, "Why don't you just state your conditions directly? If we cooperate with you, what will we do and what can we gain? Only if you make these things clear can we make a decision. It's better than you spouting so much empty words to us here."
Old Wu nodded. "Okay, then let's find a place to sit down and have a good talk?"
Bai Chen turned his head and looked at Jian Yi, Lin Yu and others, "What do you think?"
Fengchenzi and Tianshuang didn't say anything. One of them felt that his words were insignificant and it would be useless to speak, while the other felt that his identity and status were a bit embarrassing, so he chose to keep silent.
Jian Yi and Lin Yu did not react. They were not fools. If they still couldn't see that it was Shen Qi who supported Mr. Wu behind the scenes, they would have lived in vain.
Shen Qi has just demonstrated strong enough strength. If they offended Mr. Wu right away, Shen Qi would definitely be unhappy. Shen Qi has always had a bad temper and does things in an unconventional way. No one can guarantee that Shen Qi will not do something that they cannot bear when he is unhappy.
In this case, they might as well sit down and have a good talk. If the conditions offered by Mr. Wu are really good, it is not impossible for them to agree to them.
After all, the cultivation world is gradually declining, and even people like Chen Tianshuang have been infiltrated by the evil way. Who can guarantee that their sect will not have accidents in the future?
If they could establish a relationship with Elder Wu, it would also be beneficial to the development of their sect.
Although they are reluctant to admit it, the fact is that these practitioners are indeed a bit out of touch with the times and have to change their thinking.
Everyone gathered in the hall of Fengyue Temple, and Old Wu began to negotiate with Fengchenzi and others. Although Shen Qi had no interest in this negotiation, he also knew the role he played in this negotiation, so he also wanted to follow Old Wu.
