"Look at the records in this book. It says that a mortal once inadvertently helped a spirit that had transformed from a celestial being. However, the mortal didn't know it was a celestial being and simply treated it as an ordinary passerby. This mortal was originally poor and lonely, destined for a life of hard work. However, because of this chance encounter, he rose to prominence, eventually becoming an official in the cabinet and enjoying a life of wealth and honor!"
"Really? If that's the case, then no one needs to practice anymore and should just go and try to please that little ginseng!"
"I think it makes sense. Isn't it said that since ancient times, spiritual creatures of heaven and earth have been rare, and all of them are favored by the heavens? Now, there hasn't been a spiritual creature of heaven and earth that has taken shape in over a hundred years. If it were an ordinary family, they would be the apple of their eye, the only child! What would you do in your shoes?"
"If it were me, I wouldn't necessarily remember those who treated my child well, but I would definitely write down clearly in my little notebook whoever treated my child badly! We'll settle the score someday!"
"That's the truth!"
"Originally, when it comes to dealing with spiritual beings in heaven and earth, it's easy to bear huge consequences. If it were just the person who ascended, it would be fine, but what about that person's family, descendants, relatives, and friends?"
"Our Master..."
"Shh, don't say anything yet."
“…”
——This should be the scene that can be seen recently within many sects of the Xuanmen.
Not long ago, the invisible master of Xuanmen, Wuliangshan, officially declared war on the evil cultivators, claiming that this was a dispute over the orthodoxy, which concerned the life and death of the entire Xuanmen, and not just a matter of protecting the white jade ginseng.
Having said that, many people understand the truth.
But whether everyone really thinks so is not certain.
There are definitely quite a few who pretend to obey but actually disobey, and fish in secret...
There were even people who agreed on the surface, but secretly still refused to give up and wanted to fight for the White Jade Ginseng to have a glimmer of hope of ascending to heaven.
As a result, other people in the sect became interested.
First of all, even if they are from the same sect, it is impossible for them to have the same thoughts.
Furthermore, only a few people can reach the ceiling of ascension.
Their disciples and children may not even have the idea of coveting such immense wealth, because they know deep down that they cannot reach it.
Not being able to achieve wealth but having to bear invisible risks, anyone would grumble and hesitate if faced with such a situation.
This situation was originally invisible and did not erupt completely.
Until this somewhat outrageous rumor spread, it was like sparks flying into a frying pan, and those contradictions and problems that had only existed vaguely suddenly exploded!
When a direct disciple of a sect leader reported to Wuliangshanren that his master was secretly planning to snatch the small ginseng and was colluding with evil cultivators for this purpose, he reported it to Wuliangshanren.
...This fierce competition has reached a peak!
The inside of Xuanmen is like a boiling oil pot, with new things happening every day.
In stark contrast to the quiet and peaceful appearance of the past, the level of liveliness is comparable to that of the entertainment industry!
*
Compared to the restless Xuanmen, the evil cultivators are much quieter.
They even started to laugh at the jokes of the neighbors next door—
"Fight, fight more, I love to watch!"
"You're still pulling your hair out at this critical moment. You might not even know when we'll wipe you out!"
"I never thought that I, Lao Liu, who has lived in the gutter for decades, would have the opportunity to step on the head of Xuanmen!"
"Me too! I just killed a few babies as sacrifices, and I was chased by those damn Taoist priests from the Xuanmen Sect. I had to hide from place to place and almost died! This time I have to vent my hatred!"
"Come to think of it, that little ginseng... can eating it really make one immortal?"
"Becoming an immortal? First worry about whether you will be struck to death by lightning!"
"Isn't it even possible to dream? Even Mr. Ji can do it, so why should we…"
"First, think about Mr. Ji's strength. What is your own strength? You really have no idea!"
“…”
That's the truth.
But why are evil cultivators evil? It is precisely because they are insidious, vicious, cunning, selfish... and have countless evil thoughts like these.
They have become accustomed to this way of survival, and it is impossible to ask them to live in peace.
Yuan Shan is also very clear about this.
So when he accidentally heard the conversation between his evil cultivators, he was very calm and didn't even frown.
But his younger brother Yuan Feng beside him was very angry:
"These people are so bold! They actually dare to talk about Mr. Ji behind his back! I wonder if with Mr. Ji's strength, can he tell at a glance whether these people are evil or good to him?"
Yuan Feng kept speaking for Ji Wuji like a mindless fan.
Yuan Shan looked at him speechlessly:
"When did you become so adoring of my master?"
Yuan Feng chuckled twice:
"Isn't that what you told me? My loyalty to Mr. Ji is clear and obvious, as the sun and the moon can attest!"
Yuan Shan twitched his lips in an ambiguous manner:
"Well, let's not do that."
This stupid brother really thinks Ji Wuji is a hero.
Although Yuan Shan himself is also a member of the evil cultivators, his usual methods are completely unrelated to being upright.
But this did not prevent him from looking down on evil cultivators from the bottom of his heart.
Just like those trash outside, excitedly discussing behind Ji Wuji's back how to surpass Ji Wuji and seize the White Jade Ginseng. They are really stupid and evil.
Like Yuan Shan, he is very clear about his position.
Ji Wuji was his master for a period of time and taught him many good magic skills that were essential for his survival.
But Yuan Shan never respected Ji Wuji as his master from the bottom of his heart. He also knew that Ji Wuji was the same and had never treated him as a disciple.
At most, the two of them had similar interests and then had a master-disciple relationship.
It’s better not to think too much about sincerity and kindness. It’s more practical to take care of yourself.
The only thing Yuan Shan was worried about was his younger brother who was born to the same mother as him.
Therefore, he was even more unwilling to see Yuan Feng immersed in the worship of Ji Wuji, and it would be even worse if he lost his life in vain.
So Yuan Shan solemnly told his brother:
"Don't let your guard down just because your strength has increased recently, and don't fight tooth and nail. We have to think about ourselves. Staying alive is the most important thing, understand?"
Yuan Feng was a little surprised when he heard this:
"Why? Mr. Ji relies so much on you, big brother. Shouldn't we repay you?"
Yuan Shan looked at his younger brother with dismay:
"Sometimes I really wonder how you've managed to be such a con man all these years. You have such a pig brain, and the people you've fooled have even less brains than pigs!"
Yuan Feng didn't feel like he was being scolded at all. Instead, he chuckled twice and echoed:
"That's right! Big brother, do you remember the Wen family? They're the ones who were bent on taking my sister's property! I heard that the Wen family has cracked down on them and they've all been thrown in jail, haha!"
