The eldest disciple Guo Jin went to survive a tribulation, and the second disciple Wang Xun handled government affairs. Wei Dongliu suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was lightened.
Very good, this is the life that a leader should have. How can you be a leader if you deal with government affairs all day? You are just a rubber stamp!
Next, all we have to do is wait leisurely for news from the Golden Palace Secret Realm.
Wei Dongliu spent a few days like this, and before any news came, Wen Yang from the Yin Gui Dao came to visit him.
"Daoyou Wei." She smiled as she entered the reception hall, "I have already formed a pill."
"Oh? Congratulations." Wei Dongliu said calmly.
"Where is Fellow Daoist Jiang?" Wen Yang looked around for a moment.
Witch Jiang has been gone for a few days. How could you not know that she has left Mount Wutai? Why are you pretending to be an ignorant girl here?
"There was something going on at the Demonic Sect headquarters, so she went back first." Wei Dongliu replied.
"So that's how it is." Wen Yang showed an expression that said, "Although I have something to talk to her about, I can't help it if she's not here. I'll chat with you while I'm here." Then he smiled and complimented her, "Master Wei, the Mortal Path was in decline in the past, but now it has risen again under your leadership. This has become a good story within the Six Paths."
"Some people even use this as a homonym and call you 'the head of the prosperous sect'. It means that no matter how weak a sect is, as long as there is Sect Master Wei as the head, it has the potential to prosper quickly."
"Haha, it's nothing." Wei Dongliu was very pleased, but he said, "I just did a small job, I can't stand your praise."
Wen Yang blinked playfully when he heard this and said:
"A small job? Not to mention us six paths, even the three pure ones who claim to be the orthodox religion are both afraid and in awe of your ability."
"Even the Kunlun Sect Master said that your talent is not inferior to that of Chang Geng Zhenren. I am dying of laughter. Although Chang Geng Zhenren is a first-grade golden elixir, he only shows off his power in cultivation and has never shown any talent in governing the sect. How can he be compared with fellow Taoist?"
"I think Kunlun is really going downhill..." Although Wen Yang was trying to please him, he was also very observant. Seeing that Wei Dongliu seemed a little speechless, he thought that he was afraid of Qiu Changtian's strength and said quickly, "Let's not talk about that. This time I came here to tell my friend about the Golden Palace Secret Realm."
"Oh? Please go on, Fellow Daoist Wen." Wei Dongliu finally became interested.
Although it feels good to listen to the beautiful Wen praising herself, it is really not advisable to praise someone while stepping down on him, especially when the person she is stepping down on is another one of her own.
"We have probably already found out the time and manpower of the Three Pure Ones' trip to the Golden Palace Secret Realm." Wen Yang smiled sweetly, "Why don't you ask Sect Leader Wei to guess which righteous newcomers will be sent there this time?"
"Hmm." Wei Dongliu pretended to guess, "First of all, according to the requirements of the Golden Palace Secret Realm, only a Jindan Zhenren can enter it."
"That's right." Wen Yang said with a smile.
“Secondly, the Three Purities disciple who obtained the twelfth master position in the last Baiyujing competition, if he has become a Golden Core True Person this time, he must be on the list of those to explore the secret realm.” Wei Dongliu made a judgment.
"Why is that?" Wen Yang exclaimed, then laughed, "Indeed, those who can win the twelve positions of Baiyujing must be the most elite foundation-building disciples of the Three Pure Ones, and the grade of the golden elixir they have formed cannot be low."
"Not only that." Wei Dongliu continued, "If I were the head of the Three Pure Ones, I would definitely consider whether there is some kind of mysterious connection between the Lord of Baiyujing and the Lord of Huangjinque?"
"For this unconfirmed possibility, even if they just give it a try, they have the motivation to exclude the disciple who won the position of the master of Baiyujing."
"I see." Wen Yang said in a convinced tone, "Daoyou Wei has a meticulous mind, I can't match him."
After Wen Yang became a woman, how come two out of three sentences he made were flattering?
Wei Dongliu was puzzled and continued:
"In that case, Chang Geng, Qiong Ying, Jiang Xiao, Qing Heng, Dong You, and Jing Yun, these six people must be on the list."
"Back then, he was still in the foundation-building stage, but now he has already formed his elixir." Wen Yang couldn't help but sigh, "There are so many people among the Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Sect who are making rapid progress in their cultivation!"
"So that means Kunlun, Shushan, and Penglai each have two people. Fellow Daoist Wei, do you have any guesses for the rest?"
"It's not that difficult." Wei Dongliu said calmly, "These six people have not been in the Jindan stage for long, and their fighting strength is definitely not as good as that of the old-fashioned Jindan Zhenren of the Youwei level. Therefore, the Three Pure Ones will definitely send the chief of the Jindan realm, that is, the first person below the Yuanying level, to escort these six people."
"The first person in Kunlun Jindan realm is Han Yuan; the first person in Shushan Jindan realm is Jing Hua; Penglai is more difficult to guess, but if we narrow it down to the lineage of the head of Xuandu, who is proficient in talismans or alchemy, then there are actually not many possibilities."
"Wonderful." This time, Wen Yang was really impressed, his eyes sparkling with brilliance, "No wonder the Kunlun Sect Master said that Fellow Daoist Wei is the 'great threat to the orthodox sect'. Who else in the entire cultivation world can have such insight and foresight?"
"Among the people dispatched by the Orthodox Church this time, Han Yuan, Chang Geng, Qiong Ying, Jing Hua, Jiang Xiao, Qing Heng, Tian Lan, Jing Yun, and Dong You, the nine people that Fellow Daoist Wei guessed are all correct."
"It's too difficult to guess the other three. Why don't you ask Brother Wei to guess which sect among the Three Pure Ones they are from?"
"It must be Shushan without a doubt." Wei Dongliu said without hesitation.
"This..." Wen Yang was shocked for a moment, thinking that the information inside the Yin Gui Dao had been leaked, but he quickly calmed down and asked tentatively with a smile, "Why is this?"
"It's easy to guess!" Wei Dongliu laughed, "The key lies in this Golden Palace Secret Realm. Which sect discovered it?"
"If Kunlun finds out, considering his nature of being the leader of the orthodox sect, he will most likely choose to divide the quota equally, that is, each sect will send four people."
“But Fellow Daoist Wen asked me which sect the remaining three people came from, which means that one sect sent six people. Unless the Golden Palace is located inside the Kunlun Mountains, it is unlikely that the Taiqing Sect would act so high-profile.”
"Let's look at Penglai. Ever since Penglai was besieged by my Six Paths and suffered heavy losses, it has realized that its power is declining, so it has adjusted its strategy to tie itself up with Kunlun and befriend Shushan."
"To put it simply, it means 'selling goods at Mount Shu and making concessions, and seeking shelter from Mount Kunlun'."
"If Penglai discovers the Golden Palace Secret Realm first, then it is very likely to be 543: Shushan will have three people, while Kunlun and Penglai will be 54 or 45. The specific number depends on Kunlun's attitude."
"Only Shushan could discover the Golden Palace Secret Realm first. With the might of the Shangqing Sect, they would be able to occupy half of the quota."
"That's true." Wen Yang was full of admiration, but he was secretly feeling a little scared in his heart.
Wei Dongliu is not only unfathomable in strength, but also has a formidable vision and ability to plan. No wonder he is valued by the Blood Sea Ancestor. He is not a disciple, but is better than a direct disciple!
For us in the Yin Gui Dao, Fan Sheng Dao is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and is actually nothing to be afraid of. But this Wei Dongliu... no one in the Yin Gui Dao can compete with him!
