Chapter 259 Undercurrent



Under Liu Yizi's control, the Outer Sea Sea Clan Holy Hall eliminated the harassment from Zheng Sanjin who needed various resources and continued to operate.

But gradually the monks discovered that for some unknown reason, things began to seem a little wrong.

Lu Chenxi was the elder of a small family in the outer sea, with the cultivation level of the ninth level of foundation building. He "accidentally" met a big shot from the inner sea.

After several interactions, he had a new understanding of the sea people. Of course, he didn't know much about the sea people in the first place. After all, in the open sea, the sea people almost only existed on paper and in various legends, and had never been seen.

Gradually, he developed a yearning for the sea people and successfully joined the small circle formed by the bigwigs from the inland sea.

He was complacent about getting the position of deacon, and was salivating over the resources on the exchange list.

Try hard to make friends with monks and recruit monks from overseas to join their organization.

Everything was fine before. I brought those ignorant monks into small circle gatherings, and the secret investigations and assessments went smoothly.

But ever since Senior Gu stopped telling them about the history of the sea people and Senior Liu, who provided him with various resources, took over as the lecturer, something went wrong.

"My fellow Taoists, how have you been lately?"

"Alas, nowadays, cultivators prefer what Senior Liu has in his hands rather than what he talks about."

"It's the same with me. We asked them to join us, but they kept on asking us to come and listen to Senior Liu talk about the history of the sea race and give out some pills. That's what we did every day."

"Well, I don't have a problem with any senior. I'm just talking about the facts. What Senior Liu said is just like what's in a book. It's not interesting at all."

"Yes, Senior Gu's talk is still interesting and easy to understand. It's like I've seen it with my own eyes and really lived among the sea people."

Lu Chenxi nodded, "Indeed, what Senior Gu said is very attractive."

This was a private gathering of several of their small families. They were the first group of monks to enter the outer sea temple.

In Gu Ming's plan, although these people have average cultivation and low status, they can quickly expand their influence among the middle and low-level cultivators.

In their daily practice, most of these people are kind to others and have extensive social connections. This is the way of survival for these monks and these small families.

With the help of their own network of relationships, they can expand rapidly in the medium term. Gu Ming has many ways to stimulate these cultivators, but he has been holding back and suppressing various ideas.

Lu Chenxi glanced at the Taoist friends present and lowered his voice, as if speaking in a very secretive manner, "I heard that the seniors from the Inner Sea seemed to have some disputes."

"Oh, I was just about to say that. I also heard some of this rumor from a Jindan senior."

Lu Chenxi glanced at this Taoist friend who only thought after the fact. People are always reluctant to be the first to take the lead, no matter what the matter is.

But there were many people who agreed.

"I don't really care about these, but the seniors have been much less efficient recently. It takes several assessments for a cultivator to join us. In the past, it only took one or two assessments. This has affected our ability to gain contributions."

"Alas, it's the same everywhere. Power represents resources, and who doesn't want to have more? It's OK at the beginning, but once you have some achievements, you'll start fighting overtly and covertly."

Lu Chenxi agreed and nodded, "Then what should we do?"

"In my opinion, you should just stick to yourself."

"What do you mean?"

"Anyway, there are always some pills to be distributed. Rather than letting those unscrupulous Taoist friends get them for free, why not let us take them ourselves? After I go back, I will remove a few cultivators from my family and let them become independent cultivators. I hope you can recommend one or two to me then."

Lu Chenxi's eyes gradually brightened up. Yes, it doesn't matter who it is given to.

Anyway, those people who were introduced here were only interested in some precious elixirs, so it would be better for us to take them ourselves.

Little by little, they will accumulate to a lot. Once the battle between the higher-ups decides a winner, it won't be too late for them to serve well.

Several people on the field nodded.

"You should be more cautious when you are doing your job, so as to avoid any mistakes."

"They are all people who have been expelled from the family. Even if there are mistakes, it is their own business. It has nothing to do with us. At most, we are responsible for negligence. But we can't blame us entirely. It's because we were in a hurry and procrastinated. We had no choice but to expand the scale. It's normal to have some omissions."

Lu Chenxi agreed very much, "I will find some monks to 'remove' them when I get back!"

The remaining few people also responded.

After sending them away one by one, the monk who gave the idea did not return to the secret room, but went to the back mountain of his home, where there was a cave, and in the cave there was a Jindan monk.

"Senior, they have all agreed to follow your instructions, and your share will be indispensable."

"Forget about mine. It's not easy for you either."

"We, it's not easy to practice. To put it bluntly, aren't we running around just for a few resources to practice?"

"That's what you said, Senior."

"When Senior Gu was here, it was enough to just find some monks to join. Now, it requires a lot of procedures. Today you have to find this fellow Taoist, and tomorrow you have to contact that fellow Taoist. It's really annoying."

"We just talked about this, and it's true that it's not as smooth as it was a few years ago."

"We are all cultivators from the outer sea. The seniors from the inner sea have their own ideas. We can't say anything, but we still can't forget our purpose. No matter how good the sea clan is, can they have a place for cultivators like you and me?"

"No, if your cultivation is not good enough, no matter what you are, you will just become a beast of burden."

The foundation-building cultivator didn't dare to respond. He could only listen but not say anything.

"If the seniors really care about us, we will serve them wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, I heard that Senior Liu didn't even rescue Senior Uchiumi, who he brought with him, from prison, and even hid Senior Gu, who spoke frankly about the pros and cons. Tsk tsk."

"This guy has lost his ambition. It's good enough if he can help a little bit."

"I understand what you said."

"I understand. Well, I should go now. I still have to clear up confusion for forces like yours, lest I waste my efforts in vain."

"Senior is truly a role model for us outer sea monks, so righteous."

"Hahaha, there's nothing noble about it. I just can't bear to see you wasting your efforts."

After the Foundation Establishment cultivator respectfully saw off Senior Jindan, he looked in the direction he was leaving and began to ponder.

It can be seen that this Jindan senior is loyal to Senior Gu.

They have no choice.

This golden elixir was indeed arranged by Gu Ming. With his rich experience, it was easy for him to gather some direct followers.

And in this undercurrent, not only Gu Ming himself was secretly taking action, but there were also some Nascent Soul cultivators who were secretly stirring things up.

Gu Ming wanted more power, especially the power to communicate with the Inner Sea and request some resources. This is the "right to interpret the scriptures"!

I have a question, if Liu Yizi can’t get the resources, how can you, Gu Ming, get them?

At that time, it was not a question of whether to give or not, but whether Neihai had to give, give more or give even more.
