"The fifth elder hasn't come back yet." Xiaolian said.
Ran Changle patted his chest with a thankful expression, then pulled Wen Ye and said to Xiaolian, "I encountered danger on the road, and fortunately this Senior Brother Yuan saved me. Please arrange a place for him to stay."
The office of Duanshan Sect is different from that of Lingxiao Sect. Disciples of Duanshan Sect have to pay spirit stones for accommodation in the office, ten low-grade spirit stones per day.
Ran Changle arranged accommodation for Wen Ye, not spending his own spirit stones, but using the spirit stones of the fifth elder.
It would be a waste not to take advantage of the Duanshan Sect.
Xiaolian went to arrange a room for Wen Ye, and Ran Changle returned to Wei Songluo's room.
After that, she didn't go out and just practiced in the room.
After the Fifth Elder finished his work, he came back and saw Wei Songluo practicing in the room, and he felt quite relieved.
His granddaughter has good aptitude and practices diligently. She should be able to establish a foundation within a year and will be much stronger than her father.
It's just that she was brought back a little late, and she started practicing late, otherwise she would definitely be able to defeat Li Yunruo, the daughter of that old man Li Shengsi.
Seeing the Fifth Elder coming back, Ran Changle pretended to be very happy and hugged the Fifth Elder's arm and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, you are back. I missed you so much."
The Fifth Elder patted Ran Changle's head lovingly and said, "After this matter is done, I will take you back to Duanshan Sect. I will not go out for the next year. I will concentrate on guiding you in your cultivation and strive to successfully establish your foundation within a year."
"Don't worry, Grandpa. Songluo will practice hard and bring honor to you." Ran Changle said confidently.
"Okay, okay, okay." The fifth elder smiled and said okay three times.
"Grandpa, a few days ago when I was walking around Luoye City, I encountered difficulties and it was a senior brother named Yuan Shiqi who saved me."
Ran Changle took advantage of the Fifth Elder's good mood to introduce Wen Ye to him.
"Yuan Shiqi? Did he really save you?" The fifth elder was a little confused.
"Yes." Ran Changle nodded, then asked, "Grandpa, do you know him?"
The Fifth Elder pondered for a moment and said, "Grandfather has heard of the name Yuan Shiqi. He's a well-known figure in the Duanshan Sect. He has a high level of cultivation, but he often keeps to himself and doesn't join any faction. It's rare that he's willing to help you. If you see him again in the future, you must thank him sincerely."
"I have thanked him very much. I arranged accommodation for him here. He hasn't gone out these days." Ran Changle said.
"Really?" The Fifth Elder looked a little surprised, his eyes flickering for a moment, and said, "Tomorrow we will return to the sect. Go ask him if he's willing to go back with us."
"Okay, I'll go ask now."
After saying that, Ran Changle ran towards Wen Ye's room.
After a while, Ran Changle went to find the fifth elder: "Grandpa, he is willing to go back with us."
The fifth elder was overjoyed. There was fierce competition among the elders in Duanshan Sect. Yuan Shiqi had reached the late Jindan stage and was expected to break through to the Yuanying stage in the next few years. Several elders wanted to win him over, but he always refused.
If my granddaughter can bring him into my lineage, I will definitely get the lion's share when resources are distributed during the next sect competition.
Thinking of this, he carefully instructed: "Songluo, build a good relationship with him along the way. If you can recruit him into our lineage, after you establish your foundation, Grandpa will definitely fight for you to enter the forbidden area of Duanshan Sect to cultivate."
Ran Changle didn’t know where the forbidden area of Duanshan Sect was, but since the Fifth Elder said so, it must be very important and difficult to enter.
Ran Changle pretended to have his eyes light up and promised, "Grandpa, I will do my best."
With the words of the fifth elder, Ran Changle went to Duanshan Sect's spirit boat to look for Wen Ye openly.
The fifth elder was happy to see that the two got along well with each other, and even thought of promising his granddaughter to Yuan Shiqi, so that Yuan Shiqi would definitely become part of his lineage.
A few days later, the spirit boat arrived at the Broken Mountains.
All the mountains in the Broken Mountain Range are cut off halfway up the mountain. It is said that this scene was caused by Liuguang Tianzun's sword during the Three Realms War a thousand years ago.
After the war, a cultivator in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm established a sect here and named it Duanshan Sect.
Duanshan Sect is more like a majestic city than a sect, divided into three levels: outer city, inner city, and central city.
The spirit boat can only land in the outer city of Duanshan Sect.
As soon as he got off the spirit boat, Ran Changle saw an incredible scene.
Two gray-robed disciples openly robbed another gray-robed disciple on the street, and no one around stepped forward to stop them. Instead, they stayed away from them, or just took a look and left.
The fifth elder stepped forward to clarify: "Songluo, the Duanshan Sect is different from other sects. Here we only believe in one principle... survival of the fittest. All disciples in the outer sect are competitors. Only by entering the inner sect and becoming disciples of the elders can you receive their protection."
"What if you enter the inner sect but don't join the elders' sect?" Ran Changle asked.
The Fifth Elder's tone was filled with murderous intent: "There are only two outcomes: death, or something stronger."
After hearing this, Ran Changle understood why the Fifth Elder wanted to win over Yuan Shiqi. He did not join any elder's sect. In such a cruel atmosphere of Duanshan Sect, he was able to cultivate to the late Golden Core stage, which in itself was a symbol of strength.
Soon the fight between the three gray-clothed disciples came to an end, and the disciple who was robbed was killed by the other two.
His body was sold to a body collector by two robbers.
This kind of situation would never happen in Lingxiao Sect. Although there is competition among the various peaks, they will not get into a real fight, let alone kill people within the sect.
As for the Duanshan Sect, it is even more dangerous inside the sect than outside.
The strong prey on the weak!
The cruelty of the world of cultivating immortals is vividly displayed in the Duanshan Sect!
Ran Changle secretly increased his vigilance.
Perhaps seeing Ran Changle's serious expression, the Fifth Elder laughed and said, "Songluo, don't worry, you are my granddaughter, and no one in Duanshan Sect dares to do anything to you.
The law of the jungle is the rule for cultivators without backgrounds. In the Broken Mountain Sect, and even in the entire world of immortal cultivation, there is another rule: the strong make the rules. And I am considered a strong man in the Broken Mountain Sect."
Upon hearing this, Ran Changle despised him in her heart. Wasn't it just the late Nascent Soul stage? Just like her two masters, lower than Sect Leader Qin and Tu Yun. What was there to be proud of?
However, his face showed envy and admiration, and he praised: "Grandpa is so powerful, when can I become as strong as you?"
After hearing his granddaughter's praise, the Fifth Elder was very pleased and touched Ran Changle's head: "Little Songluo, don't worry. With your aptitude, you will definitely be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in two hundred years."
Then, he said to Wen Ye beside him: "With your cultivation level, Yuan Xiaoyou should be able to form a fetus in the next two years and become a high-level cultivator. After that, you can occupy a position in the sect's central city."
