Chapter 294 Praise Elder Lu and willing to die for Elder Lu! The leader of Haoyue Sect is decided!
Wen Ruyan was a little confused.
Yes, everyone wants pills, which is understandable.
But you are the elders!
You guys are the boss!
How could such a big shot who has long been famous be so shameless as to lower himself so easily and compete with us younger generations for Elder Lu?
It's simply lawless and anti-Tian Gang!
······
"Elder Lu, come here."
A group of elders pulled Lu Ming along, full of enthusiasm.
Even Lu Ming felt uncomfortable.
Especially some of the 'old guys', their eyes were shining, and the way they looked at him...even gave Lu Ming a sense of life, making him squeeze his buttocks involuntarily.
Fortunately.
Ji Haoyue jumped out.
After defusing the awkward situation, the group quickly arrived at the meeting hall.
"Elder Lu." Ji Haoyue chuckled and said, "Did the trip go smoothly? Did you gain anything?"
"have!"
Lu Ming nodded and said with a hint of excitement: "Although this trip had some twists and turns, the result is perfect. I successfully achieved enlightenment, and my alchemy skills have reached a new level!"
Ji Haoyue and others were overjoyed.
Isn't that...
However, just as they were getting started, they heard Lu Ming say, "Although I cannot refine higher quality pills and my realm has not improved at all compared to before, I have suddenly realized how to refine pills in batches!"
"How to make pills in bulk?"
Everyone looked at each other.
"this···"
"What does this mean?"
“It’s very simple!”
Lu Ming laughed: "The so-called batch alchemy is to refine a large number of pills at the same time, in batches!"
"But unfortunately, since the time is still short and I have just comprehended this method, if I use the batch refining method, I cannot refine high-level pills."
"That is..."
"How many levels can it be refined to?" Ji Haoyue asked.
"The highest level I can refine is the fifth-level elixir. For now, this is the limit."
Lu Ming sighed: "To be honest, my talent is a little lacking."
Everyone was speechless: “…”
Damn, you have such poor talent?
If you call this a lack of talent, then what do we call this?
As stupid as an old sow?
As they were pondering, they heard Lu Ming say, "However, after careful consideration, I found that this may not be a bad thing. As the saying goes, a blessing in disguise!"
“This is not a bad thing.” The Great Elder was very supportive and said with a smile, “Elder Lu has made a breakthrough. This is a great joyous event!”
"That's not what I meant."
Lu Ming shook his head and said sternly: "You are all my people, all elders of the Haoyue Sect, so I won't hide anything from you."
"Tell me the truth, what do you think of our Haoyue Sect's current situation?"
"Nature is thriving, and the future is promising!"
The elders immediately spoke freely.
“The best is within easy reach!”
"Yes, once the sect master breaks through, we will be able to become a top-notch sect. By then, both our reputation and strength will be greatly increased."
"That's a whole new level."
"Our Haoyue Sect..."
They all 'boasted'.
It's not really bragging. To be precise, what they said is true.
only···
To some extent, people only report good news and not bad news.
Lin Fan sighed: "What you said is very true, but don't you realize that our Haoyue Sect is a little short of successors now?"
"You are all strong men of the older generation, and with the Sect Master here, I believe that our Haoyue Sect will not have any problems in the short term, but...how should the younger generation deal with it?"
"If it's an ordinary time period, it's okay if there are one or two generations that are relatively mediocre."
"But now is the golden age, an era destined to produce many geniuses. Even in the Lanyue Sect, there are still many talented people, even many peerless geniuses."
"But our Haoyue Sect..."
After these words were spoken, the elders all looked a little embarrassed.
This is indeed a topic that cannot be avoided.
The current disciples of Haoyue Sect are indeed a bit lame.
After the death of the Holy Son, Wen Ruyan was left alone.
In fact, Wen Ruyan's talent is not bad either. He can be described as a genius.
It's nice, but I'm afraid of comparison.
Compared with those abnormal people in Lanyue Sect, Wen Ruyan's talent...
None of them can compare to him.
This is so fucking embarrassing.
Seeing everyone was silent, Lu Ming continued: "I don't know how long it will take, but I think it shouldn't be too long, right? When the geniuses of various sects and the eight regions and one state begin to compete..."
"We, the Haoyue Sect, can't say we will be among the top few, but we should at least occupy a place, right?"
"After all, we are a top-notch sect, and we are well-known in the entire Southwest Region."
"If we are ranked hundreds of thousands of miles away, we won't be seen at all. Even other geniuses can beat our Haoyue Sect one by one..."
"Even if we succeed in advancing to the top class, it will still be a shame."
"No."
"It should be said that being promoted to a super first-rate sect is actually more embarrassing."
"After all, for a top-notch master like him, his disciples are so lame that they can't even find a single capable one. This..."
Everyone was silent again.
Even more embarrassing.
Actually, they have all thought about this.
But no matter how much you think about it, what can you do if you can't solve it?
An elder smiled bitterly and said, "Elder Lu is right, but this matter cannot be solved with just a few words or a desire."
"Peerless or even unrivaled geniuses… Everyone knows how powerful they are, but even in the Golden Age, there aren't many of these extremely talented people."
"It's not something you can find just by wanting to be accepted as a disciple."
"Besides, other sects and forces are also putting all their efforts into searching for the genius. All forces are competing."
“So, this problem does exist, but to solve it…”
"Disaster."
Ji Haoyue nodded: "What you said is very true. However, since Elder Lu specifically mentioned this matter, I think... he must have some good ideas. Please give me some advice!"
Ji Haoyue already had great trust in Lu Ming.
What's more, Lu Ming had given advice many times.
In his opinion, Lu Ming is his think tank!
He is as wise as a demon and can help you solve many troubles.
What are you waiting for if you don't ask for help at this time?
Everyone looked at Lu Ming.
He sighed softly and said, "I can't say it's a brilliant opinion, but I do have some ideas."
"It just so happens that I have learned the method of mass refining pills this time, but the only pills that can be refined in batches are rank five and below, so it suddenly occurred to me that perhaps we could try a different approach."
"Choose a different way of playing?" Ji Haoyue asked.
"right!"
"As the elders said, it is very difficult to find the top geniuses. It is even more difficult to find the peerless geniuses even with a lantern. So I was wondering, can we not look for those top geniuses?"
"Is it possible to do the opposite?!"
"They train top talents? We train the middle class!"
"We can't match the top geniuses, but if the core strength can sweep the opponent, we won't be so embarrassed, right?"
"Besides, with all of you here, I don't think anyone would dare to be so arrogant as to kill my sect's disciples."
"If a sect wants to develop for a long time and stay at its peak, a core force is indispensable!"
"As long as our core strength is strong enough and numerous enough, what is there to fear?"
Lu Ming's eyes were burning: "Coincidentally, my method of batch alchemy is perfectly in line with this idea."
"I can definitely refine high-quality fifth-level and lower elixirs in large quantities."
"If we can't compete with talent, we can compete with resources and elixirs!"
“Use high-quality elixirs to forcibly stack the disciples with average and better talents on top, making them second only to geniuses!”
"If we can't compete on quality, let's compete on quantity!"
"If the Haoyue Sect has tens of thousands, even tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of disciples who are pillars of the sect...it doesn't matter whether they are geniuses or not."
"There are the Sect Master, Elders, and Supremes to support us."
"Next, millions of backbones and millions of talents are thriving."
"In this way, why worry about the lack of successors?"
"Who dares to say that our Haoyue Sect is in a period of transition?"
Bang!
Ji Haoyue slammed the table and stood up: "Great!"
“That’s wonderful!”
"If that's the case, I want to see who dares to talk nonsense and who dares to look down on my Haoyue Sect?"
"Not only that, when these one million disciples grow up, they can all become the backbone..."
"Thousands of years, tens of thousands of years later! When they grow to their peak."
"My Haoyue Sect is extremely powerful!"
"It is not impossible to have more than 10,000 seventh-level people!!!"
“Too conservative!”
Lu Ming whispered, "My skills in batch alchemy can still improve slowly. Maybe I can batch refine high-level pills in the future."
"By then, there might even be 100,000 seventh realms!"
"Thousands, or even over ten thousand of the eighth realm!!!"
"That will be the most powerful era and the most dazzling future of the Haoyue Sect."
hiss!!!
These words made Ji Haoyue and the others' scalps tingle and their bodies covered with goose bumps.
I couldn't even help but tremble all over.
So exciting!
If the Haoyue Sect really has thousands or even tens of thousands of eighth-level cultivators...
Oh my god!
Under the holy land, isn't it just walking sideways?!
“That’s wonderful!”
"Elder Lu, you are truly as wise as a demon, you are my sect's lucky star!"
They were very excited.
Ji Haoyue hesitated and said, "This method... is perfect, but Elder Lu, won't you be too tired? You must know that our sect's disciples... even if we only count the disciples at the fifth level and below, there are millions of them."
"If we add in the many affiliated forces, this number will be even higher."
"These are just the current disciples."
"There are also some disciples from previous generations who, due to lack of talent or other reasons, have not yet broken through to the fifth level. If we count them..."
"Would it be too much for you to do it alone?"
"Too tired?"
The elders' expressions changed slightly.
This is indeed a problem.
The plan is good, but the prerequisite is that there are enough pills!
And they are high-quality pills, otherwise why would all those disciples be piled up together?
Therefore, the other alchemists of Haoyue Sect were unable to handle the problem, so they could only rely on Lu Ming alone.
One person can provide all the elixirs needed by millions of disciples, and they all have to be of high quality?
This is too exaggerated!
Wouldn't it be exhausting?
"I'm fine!"
Lu Ming took a deep breath and patted his chest, saying, "Everyone for me, I for everyone. Today I have tried my best for the sect, and I believe that one day, the sect will not let me down!"
"I, Lu Ming, am willing to devote my life to the sect until my death!"
"It's settled now!"
"Starting tomorrow!"
"Let me rest for a night. I will start refining pills tomorrow. I will refine high-quality pills for my sect and all the affiliated forces who are below the fifth realm."
"Starting from the seventh rank!!!"
"I won't say much about the rest."
"Please ask the Sect Master and the elders to prepare the logistics and purchase the required medicinal materials as soon as possible. If they are not enough... I have personally collected some over the years."
"If it's not enough, I'll make up for it myself!"
“How can you do this?” Ji Haoyue said hurriedly: “For this matter, of course you will be extremely tired, and the sect should subsidize you, how can you…”
"No need to say more!"
"For the sake of the sect, what does this mean?!"
Lu Ming strode away.
Ji Haoyue and many elders were left looking at each other with tears of gratitude.
"Elder Lu is really..."
"Tai, you are so noble and upright, you are really a role model for our generation!"
"It has only been a short time since Elder Lu joined the sect, but he has devoted himself to the sect and even paid for it out of his own pocket. Compared to him, we old guys are really a bit shameful!"
"Elder Lu is really a good person!"
"What virtue and ability does our sect have? How lucky we are to have the favor of Elder Lu? It's really..."
"Humph, the Second Elder had been targeting Elder Lu before. He was really blinded by greed. I think he was just jealous of Elder Lu's talent and wisdom!"
"Second Elder, this is really wrong."
"So what should we do now?"
"Master, can you give me a charter?"
“···”
Ji Haoyue took a deep breath and said, "Do as Elder Lu said! How can I let down Elder Lu's sincere love for the sect?"
"But we must ensure logistics!"
"We absolutely cannot let Elder Lu worry about this matter."
"at the same time···"
"You also need to tell all the disciples that this matter was proposed by Elder Lu, and it was Elder Lu who facilitated it. All the pills were made by Elder Lu. Elder Lu even paid for the pills out of his own pocket..."
"We won't make the hero bleed and cry, but we must not let Elder Lu feel disappointed!"
"Otherwise, who will be so devoted to the sect in the future?"
Ji Haoyue slammed the table: "Everyone, go down and do it immediately!"
“Bring out all the resources you need. If there are not enough, go buy them!”
“Buy it at a high price!”
"Even if we have to tighten our belts for the next few years, we will still meet Elder Lu's spiritual medicine supply needs."
"yes!"
"We'll do it right away."
"Speaking of which... our sect should not be short of resources, especially the spiritual medicines needed for low-level elixirs, which are more than sufficient. Unfortunately..."
"It's all the fault of that bastard Tang Wu!"
"Fuck it, I get angry just talking about that bastard Tang Wu!"
"He emptied out our sect's medicine storehouse. Not even a hair is left."
"Otherwise, why would there be such worries??!"
"hateful!"
"Kill him sooner or later!"
“···”
······
"Ah Qiu!"
"Aqiu, Aqiu!"
On a small island in the ocean.
Tang Wu, who was taking a break, suddenly sneezed three times and his nose felt very itchy.
"What's going on?"
He rubbed his nose and said angrily, "Is it possible that you have caught a cold?"
"I just soaked in the water for nearly two months..."
"snort!"
"I can't care so much."
"Even if there is something strange in this sea, I will definitely go down and find the ruins and obtain the inheritance within."
"As long as I get that precious treasure..."
"Everything will change!"
"They're all going to die!!!"
“···”
······
The next day.
In Haoyue Sect, Lin Fan starts refining the elixir!
At the same time, under the arrangement of the elders, the news spread widely.
All the disciples learned about this and were overjoyed.
“Oh my god!!!”
"Elder Lu personally made pills for us? For... us?"
"I, an outer sect disciple, have a share?"
"Menial disciples and even old guys with average talent from the previous generation all have a chance!!!"
"Is there such a good thing?"
"Has the sect suddenly shown kindness?"
"Oh, I heard that this was proposed by Elder Lu, and he made it happen all by himself. The pills were also made by him alone. Even because of that bastard Tang Wu, our sect was short of spiritual medicine, and it was Elder Lu who paid for it out of his own pocket so that we could make enough pills!"
"What? Is this true?"
"Elder Lu..."
"hiss!!!"
“···”
These Mandarin-speaking disciples' love for Lu Ming instantly peaked!
Especially in the evening, when the medicine was distributed...
Looking at the elixirs that were at least seventh grade and in line with their own realms, all the disciples of Haoyue Sect were stunned.
I was so excited that I was shaking all over and even had tears in my eyes!
“Oh my god!!!”
“It’s actually true?!”
"This is the first time I've seen a seventh-grade elixir in my life!"
"Hahahaha, I'm an inner sect disciple, ninth rank!!!"
“Ahhhh! This old man is already over 1,700 years old. I thought that the fourth realm was the end of my life, but I never thought... from now on, Elder Lu is my reborn parent!!!”
"Anyone who wants to cause trouble to Elder Lu should first step over this old immortal corpse of mine!"
"It's your turn? If you want to cross, cross my dead body first!"
"And me!"
"I have decided that after returning to the cave, I will set up a longevity tablet for Elder Lu and offer him sacrifices every day!"
"Elder Lu...you must be very tired, right?"
"Who can contact Elder Lu? Please let us know that we are very worried about his health. Please don't overwork yourself."
"Yes... We are grateful, but Elder Lu must take care of himself."
"I heard that Elder Lu is also a candidate for the sect leader?"
“···”
······
“It’s really tiring.”
"In fact, if there is no immortal energy to nourish me, I simply can't refine so many pills in one day, right?"
Lu Ming wiped the cold sweat off his face, his hands were shaking a little.
It was the first time for him to refine so many pills!
The so-called batch refining method is actually nothing more than using the art of clones to refine together. Since he has enough experience in alchemy, it is not a problem as long as it is only a pill below the fifth level.
Fortunately, it doesn’t need to be refined every day.
It’s just that today is the first day, so I look extremely tired.
You can practice them separately in the future.
After a day and a night of cultivation, Lu Ming called Wen Ruyan over.
The latter arrived soon, and seeing Lu Ming's pale face and shaking hands, he felt a pain in his heart, and hurriedly came up, tightly holding Lu Ming's hands, and asked with concern: "Elder Lu, why do you have to fight so hard?"
"I know you are doing this for the sect, but how can you ruin yourself like this for the sect?"
"Please agree to Ruyan's request, even if it's for yourself and for Ruyan..."
"I'm not tired."
Lu Ming forced a smile.
Seeing his smile, Wen Ruyan's heart almost broke, and she asked, "How can you not be tired? Why don't you take care of your body?"
"Please take a rest quickly. If you have anything to say, please wait until you have rested..."
"I will rest later. I asked you to come here because I have something to tell you."
Lu Ming took out a jade bottle and said, "This is the elixir for you and many other disciples."
"Please take out your portion and distribute the rest to the sequence disciples."
"It's not that I'm lazy, it's just..."
"I really want to take a rest right now, so I'd like to ask you to do it. Is that okay?"
Wen Ruyan took the jade bottle, and for a moment, he felt that the jade bottle weighed ten thousand pounds.
Own···
I could hardly lift it!
"I will definitely do as I said and never keep even a single coin for myself!"
"That's good, but remember to do it secretly."
Lu Ming forced a smile again, blinked, and said, "I'm really too busy to prepare for everyone, and... I don't have that many spiritual medicines anymore."
"If we publicize it widely, I'm afraid many of my disciples will be dissatisfied."
"Go now."
“···”
Wen Ruyan was almost driven out of Lu Ming's cave.
Her head was buzzing.
"So..."
"Is this Elder Lu paying out of his own pocket to prepare special meals for us?"
Her eyes turned red, and she thought of what Lu Ming had said during the Lanyue Sect competition: "You should also have what they have."
Wen Ruyan couldn't help but feel a sore nose.
"Elder Lu, you are really..."
"You should keep your word, but how many times more disciples do we have in the Haoyue Sect than in the Lanyue Sect? You are just one person, why do you have to fight so hard!"
She opened the jade bottle and took out the part that belonged to her, but in an instant, she stood there in a daze, with two lines of tears sliding down her cheeks...
The feeling of warmth in her hands made her cry.
The sadness and touching feelings in my heart have reached their peak.
This pill... is still warm!
It’s clearly just been released!!!
In other words, Elder Lu was so tired yesterday, refining high-quality pills for all the first to fifth level disciples in the sect, and he actually worked all night to refine pills for himself and the sequence disciples?
and···
They are all ninth grade!
Thinking back to how pale Lu Ming's face was and how his hands were shaking, her heart broke.
“Crunch!”
She gritted her teeth.
"Don't worry, Elder Lu. I will not let your efforts go to waste."
She hurried over to deliver the medicine, and was ready to return and immediately devote herself to cultivation...
·····
Inside the cave.
Lu Ming collapsed on the bed, muttering softly, "If this happens a few more times... the support rate of the disciples of Haoyue Sect for me should be almost full, right?"
"But I'm really tired."
What?
Aiding the enemy?
Their talents are there, so what if they have full resources? I can just send out two protagonist templates from the Moon-Lanning Sect to suppress them all!
What's more...
If my plan succeeds, after a period of time, they will all be my people. You tell me that I am aiding the enemy?!
Hehehe.
Lu Ming is really not afraid of this.
If your plan succeeds, there will naturally be no need to help the enemy.
It doesn't matter if the plan fails.
They are just middle and lower level disciples. Even if they all take off, it won’t be a big deal.
If they were given a long period of time and were provided with elixirs that matched their realm, they might indeed become the backbone, but...how could Lu Ming possibly give them so much time?
therefore···
Just do it!
As the pills were distributed, these disciples all experienced the benefits brought by the high-level pills.
“Oh my god!!!”
"I'm going crazy!"
“I have never experienced such an amazing speed of cultivation.”
"Don't be afraid of you laughing at me. I have always thought that I was a waste. My talent was mediocre and my cultivation speed was so fast that even pigs would shake their heads. But guess what happened? Last night! I broke through the realm, two small realms in one night.
It was then that I realized that it wasn’t because my talent was so poor that even pigs would shake their heads at the sight of it that my cultivation speed was slow, but because I didn’t have enough resources.”
"It's not that we don't have enough resources. In fact, our Haoyue Sect's resources are not bad. At least, compared with other sects of the same level, they are definitely not bad! But... compared with the current cultivation resources, they are indeed not enough."
"Elder Lu is truly great!"
"Praise Elder Lu."
"Praise the great Elder Lu."
"From now on, Elder Lu will be my guiding light and the god in my heart!"
"Whoever dares to disrespect Elder Lu will be the first one to be beaten to death!"
"Oh, what a joke!"
"Why, are you going to be disrespectful to Elder Lu?"
"No, don't get me wrong, I mean... look over there!"
"You're the first one? There are so many people here, how can it be your turn? Who do you think you are?"
"Forehead···"
It’s not that you don’t know the goods, it’s that you compare the goods.
Lu Ming's move directly increased their "food" by many times, and their cultivation speed also increased accordingly. Especially since it was their first time taking high-quality elixirs, the effect was even more "incredible".
Each one has made obvious progress.
Naturally, their respect and admiration for Lu Ming became even more astonishing.
It has almost reached the point where there is no further progress.
And it's not just ordinary disciples like them.
Wen Ruyan and the others knew very well that even though Lu Ming was so tired, he still insisted on paying for their special meals out of his own pocket. They were so grateful that they wanted to work hard for Lu Ming immediately!
Wen Ruyan even took it upon himself to move his own dojo directly to Lu Ming's doorstep.
You can't get the moon first just because you are close to the water.
Just so that if Lu Ming has any instructions or needs someone to do chores, he can help at the first time.
At the same time, she could also look after Lu Ming and prevent him from being so tired.
Elder Lu is such a nice person!
If I didn't keep an eye on him, he would definitely work hard to make the elixir regardless of his health.
Own···
How can I not look at him?
······
“Great!!!”
A few days later.
Ji Haoyue and the elders gathered together, but Lu Ming was in seclusion refining the elixir.
At this moment, everyone had a smile on their face, and their back teeth were almost showing.
"Elder Lu's proposal is simply a stroke of genius!"
"That's true. These days, those disciples at the middle and lower levels, and even at the bottom of the list, are almost going crazy! They are all practicing like crazy, and their enthusiasm is already so high that it can't be increased any more."
"I've never seen them practice so crazily."
"It's not just their enthusiasm that has increased! Their strength is also increasing rapidly. Every day of training, we can see the results and they have improved significantly."
"In the past few days, they have made more breakthroughs than in the past year combined. If this continues..."
"I am sure that there will be no problem with Elder Lu's plan!!!"
"Of course!" Ji Haoyue laughed: "Elder Lu is really the lucky star of our Haoyue Sect."
"That's true." The Great Elder stroked his beard and smiled, "However, we are not only grateful to Elder Lu, but also to the Sect Master. If the Sect Master had not decided to invite Elder Lu to serve as a guest official in the shortest possible time, how could there be such a happy event today?"
"What the Great Elder said is very true. However, this is not just about thanking the Sect Master. If you hadn't been entrusted with the task and 'defeated' many opponents to invite Elder Lu back..."
The flattery begins!
After a moment, Ji Haoyue raised his hand and said, "No need to brag. This sect master never likes these things. Let's talk business."
Ah, yes, yes, yes.
Everyone rolled their eyes secretly.
There's no need to brag about God. We've already boasted about everything we can. If you don't stop us, we don't know how to brag anymore. After listening to the end, you say you don't like these anymore?
If you really don't like it, you should have said it earlier!
But... these are all my 'heartfelt words' and I dare not say them out loud.
"Yes, yes, that's right, the Sect Master is absolutely right."
"Let's get down to business!"
Ji Haoyue nodded with satisfaction: "All these changes and all the prosperous scenes are due to Elder Lu. Elder Lu is the great contributor to our Haoyue Sect!"
"Not only did he work hard to make the elixir, he even paid for it out of his own pocket. We must satisfy Elder Lu in other aspects. We must not..."
“···”
They quickly introduced a series of safeguards.
Of course, there are incentives.
First of all, the most advanced skills and secret techniques of Haoyue Sect, which could be called the "sect-guarding" part, were fully open to Lu Ming.
As long as Lu Ming wants to learn, he can borrow it at any time.
Various cultivation experiences are also open unconditionally.
A lot of cultivation resources were thrown to Lu Ming, and he could not use them all.
The protection in other aspects is also fully guaranteed.
However, in the end, a deacon whispered: "Master, elders, there are some things recently that I don't know whether I should tell you."
"explain!"
"You are a cultivator, a deacon of our sect, and a grown man. Why are you so hesitant?"
"Hurry up and tell me!"
“···”
"yes."
"I recently discovered that the disciples' love for Elder Lu has exceeded our imagination. They respect Elder Lu as if he were a god. I have no doubt..."
"Now, if the sect master and Elder Lu give orders at the same time, but the orders are diametrically opposed, most of them will unconditionally carry out Elder Lu's orders."
"This matter..."
"I don't know whether it is good or bad, please decide."
"What's that?" The Great Elder laughed. "If it were you, you would do the same if you suddenly got a high-quality elixir and your cultivation speed skyrocketed after a long drought!"
“It’s human nature!”
"Yes, yes, that's human nature."
Everyone thought there was nothing wrong with it.
As for rebellion, they never thought about it at all.
It’s not that it’s impossible, but I have nothing to fear even if there’s a rebellion.
They are just a group of middle and lower level disciples. They won’t be able to cause any trouble in at least a hundred years. So what if they all listen to Lu Ming?
What's more...
Elder Lu's sincere desire to serve his sect is evident to all!
Why worry about these unfounded things?
"That... I understand." The deacon said, "But, how can a sect have two 'sect masters'?"
"I'm afraid that in the future..."
"If some conflicts arise, it may cause the sect to split."
"You're worrying too much!"
Ji Haoyue waved his hand and said, "Elder Lu is fine!"
"Besides, the reason why we invited Elder Lu back is to have him refine pills for our sect and improve our sect's strength. Now Elder Lu is almost desperately refining pills, how can we doubt him?"
"Besides, he didn't publicize himself to the public. We decided to publicize these things ourselves. Could he have predicted this?"
"Don't say bad things about Elder Lu from now on, otherwise you will be punished on the cliff!"
"As for the fact that there cannot be two leaders in a sect..."
Ji Haoyue laughed: "This is not a problem at all."
"It is true that there cannot be two sect masters in a sect at the same time. This will do more harm than good to the sect."
"But, our Haoyue Sect will be promoted to a super first-class sect soon."
"By then, this sect master will be at the ninth level."
"It's time to step down and let others take over."
"actually···"
He sighed and said, "To me, to some extent, the position of the sect leader is actually a burden. There are too many trivial matters."
"If I were not the sect master, I would have entered the ninth realm thousands of years ago. Why would I have to wait until now to make the final preparations?"
"Master!" The deacon was numb: "I'm not worried about you."
"No one can shake your position, but your successor... may not be able to..."
"You have a point."
Unexpectedly, Ji Haoyue didn't scold him this time. Instead, he smiled and said, "But you're still worrying too much."
"The successor doesn't have enough prestige, and Elder Lu has too much prestige, so all kinds of problems arise?"
"This concern is not without reason, but it is a bit unreasonable."
"Have you forgotten that Elder Lu was one of the candidates for the sect leader?"
"Too high a reputation?"
"If his prestige is too high, wouldn't it be great if Elder Lu could be elected as the sect leader?"
"Not only does no one in the sect have any objections, but with Elder Lu's sense of responsibility, after becoming the sect leader, will he not work even harder to refine pills?"
"this···"
“Isn’t it the best of both worlds?”
"Is there anything more perfect than this in the world?"
Ji Haoyue shook his head and said, "Don't blame me for plotting against Elder Lu. I wanted him to be the sect leader. I am really doing my job well."
"I am still the sect master now, so I naturally have to consider the entire sect."
"So, this evil man..."
"I did!"
"Please, for the sake of the sect, don't tell Elder Lu."
“···”
"So..."
The elders looked at each other in bewilderment: "The Sect Master has already decided that the next Sect Master will be Elder Lu?"
"What else?"
Ji Haoyue sighed softly: "Originally I was still considering it and had many hesitations."
"The best scenario would be to select a person with both talent and integrity from among our disciples. In this way, no one would be able to find fault with him, and we would be able to act uprightly and honestly."
"Although Elder Lu is very kind, he was just a car driver. If the news gets out, people will gossip about him."
"but..."
"Elder Lu has repeatedly made remarkable achievements, and this time he has demonstrated the terrifying ability of a great master of the alchemy path."
"It's almost possible that one person could drag the entire sect forward!"
"If not him, who should we choose?"
"This is an open conspiracy. Although I feel a little sorry for Elder Lu, for the sake of the sect, I have no choice but to do it."
"Everyone, please keep it a secret and do not tell Elder Lu!"
Everyone: “…”
Good job.
Good job, Ji Haoyue.
I thought you had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and were honest and kind, but you turned out to be???
"Master, this cannot be blamed on you. After all, you have to consider our entire sect." The Great Elder sighed, "Elder Lu... Alas, it is true that we are a little sorry for him."
"But when will the lord of the clan plan to abdicate?"
"Wait a little longer."
"When I am ready, I will go to Jiuxiao Xianyue."
“As long as you can successfully break through and condense immortal energy to become a true ninth-level cultivator, you can abdicate after you return.”
"After all, ninth-level cultivators need immortal energy to continue to break through. I'm afraid I'll have to stay in Jiuxiao Immortal Mountain most of the time, and it will be difficult for me to manage the affairs of the sect."
"By then, I myself would like to concentrate on my cultivation."
Ji Haoyue expressed what was in his mind, and the elders nodded one after another.
There's nothing wrong with that.
The Great Elder added, "There is one more thing, Sect Master. I'm afraid you may have to postpone your abdication a little."
"After our Haoyue Sect becomes a top-notch sect, it won't be too late to abdicate."
"this···"
"That's fine. There's no need to rush for that moment."
Ji Haoyue nodded slightly.
If you are promoted to a top-notch position, there will definitely be some troubles, and there will be people who will come to cause trouble. It will be easier to deal with it if you are in power.
Besides, his plan was already a bit unfair to Lu Ming, so he should handle as many troubles as possible.
Otherwise, if Lu Ming quits, the one who will suffer the loss will be the Haoyue Sect.
"That's great."
The elders all laughed.
One of them whispered, "So, our next clan leader has basically been...decided?"
"What do you mean by basic?" Another elder corrected him, "It's Elder Lu!"
"Who is Elder Shelu?"
The Great Elder sighed, "Thinking carefully, although Elder Lu has not been in the sect for a long time, he has shed blood and contributed to our sect."
"And he has made remarkable achievements."
"Let's not talk about anything else. If Elder Lu hadn't been objective and calm enough, we would have fought to the death with the Lanyue Sect. Given the Lanyue Sect's strength, how many of us would have died?"
"I'm afraid many people present will die."
"If Elder Lu had not been smart enough in the matter of the Void God Realm, how could we have taken advantage of the situation and snatched food from the tiger's mouth of our enemy, the Lanyue Sect, and made the Lanyue Sect extremely dissatisfied?"
"Besides, Elder Lu is now refining a large amount of high-quality elixirs..."
"If he doesn't become the leader, who will?"
"Not to mention the master's plan..."
"That's not what I meant." The person who asked the question quickly said, "I'm not against Elder Lu becoming the sect leader. What I want to say is that if he is chosen, I will tell my disciple and tell him not to work hard anymore."
"Just go take a shower and go to bed. Practicing well is better than anything else."
Everyone suddenly realized.
Only then did he remember that his eldest disciple was also one of the candidates for the sect leader.
"That's right."
"Let your disciple go to bed."
