Chapter 290 Jin Yuzong's Brain Supplement (asking for monthly votes)
Xuandu School.
Located in Xuandu City, there are many palaces.
"Rejected?"
The head of Xuandu Sect listened to the report and frowned: "Did this new hall master go to the other two families?"
Every time the Danshan Sect arranged for new disciples to come to the Tianhuo Region, the three of them would send out invitations, which was both a way of winning over and a test.
According to past experience, new disciples of Danshan Sect generally have two choices.
The first is to directly choose a restaurant to attend the banquet, which means that the visitor has a relationship with this restaurant.
The three families all have backers in Danshan Sect, and there is a deacon standing behind each of them. Sometimes the disciples who come are arranged by the deacons behind the scenes.
Another situation is that the disciple of Danshan Sect refused their invitation to the banquet, but the reason was that the three families invited him at the same time and the disciple of Danshan Sect did not want to attend any of them, which caused dissatisfaction from the other two families.
The result of the test is that if it is the first case, then the related faction will account for the majority of the income from the Tianhuo Mine during this period, and if it is the second case, it means that this disciple of Danshan Sect does not have any powerful backing.
Because this disciple did not dare to offend these three families.
But this time, the newcomer rejected all three of them without any explanation, which was beyond their expectations.
"This time the replacement was too sudden. There has been no news from the deacon of Danshan Sect, and the sect does not know the details of this new disciple."
What the leader of Xuandu Sect didn't know was that, because Chu Ning's matter was arranged by Qi Shiyun herself, and she did not go to the Contribution Hall to accept the task, the deacon that Xuandu Sect was trying to curry favor with naturally did not get the news.
"It seems that we can only ask someone to pass the message to Danshan Sect and wait until we find out the details of this new disciple."
The leader of Xuandu Sect made the decision, and at this moment in the Sun Sword Sect, the Sect Master and some elders were also discussing the same thing.
"In that case, let's follow our discussion and wait for news from Danshan Sect before making any plans."
The Sun Sword Sect and the Xuandu Sect made the same decision.
Jinyuzong.
At this moment, two women came with swords.
"Ruobing, this is my home."
“Gege, if you hadn’t brought me here today, I wouldn’t have known that you were a young lady. You hid it very well.
"What's the use? We are all from the Lower Domain. Among the sects in the Central Domain, even the top sects in the Lower Domain will not be taken seriously."
The woman in green skirt smiled slightly and directly pulled the woman in white skirt into the sect. The Jinyu Sect disciples who were in charge of guarding the sect did not dare to stop them.
Our eldest daughter is back, who dares to stop her?
"Dad, I'm back."
In the main hall of Jinyu Sect, several figures were discussing something. Hearing the shout, the middle-aged man sitting in the first seat showed joy on his face. Looking at the two figures that appeared at the door of the hall, he immediately signaled to the other elders with his eyes.
"The princess is back. You are such a heartless girl. You have been gone for three hundred years and didn't even report to your father that you were safe."
When Jin Man saw his daughter, there was a look of love on his face. He had such a precious daughter. When his daughter went to the Central Region Sect, he was very reluctant to let her go, but for the sake of his daughter's future, he had no choice but to let her go.
"What can I do in the sect?"
Jingge didn't care at all, and the elders present all looked at her with smiles, as they had all watched Jingge grow up.
"Dad, elders, let me introduce you to my senior sister Xu Ruobing."
"Xu Ruobing greets all the seniors."
Xu Ruobing bowed politely. Among the people in the hall, the weakest were in the late Nascent Soul stage. Although she was also in the late Nascent Soul stage, she had only been in this stage for a short time.
"Xu...Fellow Daoist Xu..."
"Gege and I are sisters, you can just address me as your junior."
When Jin Man heard what Xu Ruobing said, he smiled and said, "Then I will be generous enough to call you Niece Xu."
Normally, everyone is in the late Nascent Soul stage, so they should naturally address each other as fellow Taoists. However, because of Jin Gege, Xu Ruobing lowered himself by one generation.
"It is an honor for our Jinyu Sect to have Niece Xu as a guest. Gege, please take Niece Xu around first, and then Daddy will host a welcome party for Niece Xu in the evening."
"Okay." Jin Gege realized that her father and the elders were discussing something, so she nodded and said to Xu Ruobing, "Sister Ruobing, I'll take you to the most fun place in our Jinyu Sect first."
Seeing his daughter leave, Jin Man said to the elders, "The Xuandu Sect and the Sun Sword Sect should be unable to hold back. How should our sect decide?"
"Master, I think we should do the same as those two families."
"I agree with what the Third Elder said. If the three of us remain consistent, we may not be successful, but we will definitely not be wrong."
"I have a different idea."
The elder standing at the back on the right spoke, and his words immediately attracted the attention of Jin Man and the other elders.
"What's your different opinion, Sixth Elder?"
"Sect Master, according to the past, before the new disciples of Danshan Sect arrived, our three sects would receive news, but this time there was no news. Is it possible that something happened in Danshan Sect?"
The Sixth Elder's words made Jin Man and the others instantly become serious.
"What does the Sixth Elder mean by this?"
"For so many years, our three sects have been responsible for mining the Skyfire Mine, with the majority going to Danshan Sect, and a small portion left behind. This was something that the sect's seniors fought for us. The proportion has not changed over the years, but what if Danshan Sect knew about the current situation and was dissatisfied with it?"
The Sixth Elder had a worried look on his face: "The disciples who came this time are obviously not ordinary. I am afraid that the elders of Danshan Sect have some ideas."
The hall fell into silence as the Sixth Elder spoke.
In the proportion given by Danshan Sect back then, the three sects accounted for a small share, but over the years, everyone has made breakthroughs in the mining of the Tianhuo Mine, and the mining efficiency has been improved.
The amount of Skyfire Mine mined every hundred years has increased by 40% compared to when mining was first started.
However, the three sects did not report the matter. They pocketed all the 40% increase, used 10% to bribe some deacons of Danshan Sect, and gave each family an extra 10% of the remaining 30%.
Danshan Sect has six peaks and a total of twenty-five elders. As long as one elder notices these, the anger will be something that the three sects cannot bear.
Although all three sects have powerful masters of the God Transformation Realm, their masters are only in the early stage of the God Transformation Realm, while the elders of the Danshan Sect are in the late stage of the God Transformation Realm. The gap is too huge.
Any one of the elders could destroy their three factions.
"Sixth Elder, what you said makes sense. So, I will go to Danshan Palace in person to meet the new Palace Master."
Jin Man made a decision quickly. If the elders of Danshan Sect were dissatisfied with the three families, there might be a chance to resolve the situation.
It is impossible for that elder to really come down in person to destroy the three families. The order of the Tianhuo Region still needs to be maintained.
The biggest possibility is to destroy one of them to warn the remaining two.
After discussing this, Jin Man hurriedly left the hall, carrying a storage bag and heading straight for Danshan Hall, thousands of miles away.
Danshan Hall.
At this moment, Chu Ning was also holding the jade slip of the map of the Tianhuo Region and began to study where it would be most appropriate to place his Nian Tangshan.
After a while, Chu Ning's consciousness withdrew from the jade slip. His eyebrows raised and there was a smile in his eyes.
It seems that there are still smart people among these three factions.
"If anyone comes, bring them directly to the main hall."
Qian Cheng, who was on duty outside the hall, was stunned when he heard Chu Ning's voice transmission. What did Lord Chu mean by this? Would someone come at this time? Lord Chu refused the invitation of the three major sects. It was impossible for the three major sects to come in person, right?
You must know that when Palace Master Liu first came, facing the invitations from the three major sects, although he also rejected them, he wrote back to each sect, informing them that you are inviting them to a banquet at the same time, as he cannot be in two places at once.
Finally, the three factions joined together to hold a welcoming banquet for Palace Master Liu.
Palace Master Chu directly refused without any reply. Considering the status of the three major sects, they should not come again.
Even if I really want to come, I can't come now.
There are no guests at sunset, it is already dusk.
Just as Qian Cheng was thinking about these things, footsteps were heard outside the hall door. Qian Cheng spread out his spiritual sense and sensed the person coming. There was a look of shock on his face, and the next moment he hurried out to meet him.
The leader of the Jinyu Sect came in person! Palace Master Chu was right.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Master Jin."
Qian Chengying arrived at the door. Although he felt a little surprised, he immediately said, "The Palace Master has ordered that you go directly to the main hall."
"The Palace Master knows I'm coming?"
When Jin Man heard Qian Cheng's words, he paused for a moment. He was also thinking about the message revealed by Qian Cheng's words.
Qian Cheng smiled slightly and did not answer. If it were in the past, he would have naturally given face to Sect Master Jin, but at this moment he also realized that this Palace Master Chu was probably different from Palace Master Liu.
If I don't say anything, I can create a profound image for the Palace Master. The Palace Master just said "if someone comes", but if I don't say anything, will Sect Master Jin think that the Palace Master is sure that he will come?
If I said it, it would be tantamount to destroying the palace master's profound image.
In the end, Qian Cheng decided to take a gamble and chose to remain silent.
Qian Cheng was only a cultivator in the late Jindan stage and had only been practicing for three hundred years. He had not watched Chu Ning's rookie competition that year and did not know Chu Ning's identity.
Chu Ning's newcomer competition that year was not particularly popular in the lower regions. Among the more than sixty lower regions, except for Chengshan Region, Sihai Trading Company did not pay much attention to promoting it in other lower regions, because they knew that even if they promoted it, there would not be many cultivators who placed bets.
When Jin Man saw that Qian Cheng did not answer and did not ask any more questions, he already had the answer in his mind.
Either the new hall master sensed his arrival, which meant that his spiritual awareness was stronger than his own, or the new hall master was also waiting to see if anyone from the three sects would come.
But either way, it's not good news.
The former means the opponent's strength. The disciples who come from Danshan Sect are ordinary people in the late Nascent Soul stage. The sudden arrival of a powerful disciple is unusual in itself.
If it was the latter, then it meant that the new hall master did this on purpose, to see the attitudes of the three sects? Could it be that the Sixth Elder was right?
Jin Man pondered as he walked towards the main hall.
"Palace Master, the leader of the Jinyu Sect has arrived."
Qian Cheng led Jin Man to the threshold of the main hall and introduced the visitor's identity to Chu Ning who was sitting in the hall.
"Come in."
After hearing the Palace Master's calm words, Qian Cheng became more certain of his judgment.
Knowing that it was the leader of the Jinyu Sect, the Hall Master remained motionless. If he didn't have the confidence, why would he do this?
When the last Palace Master Liu came, Sect Master Jin came to visit, and Palace Master Liu personally went to the palace gate to greet him.
I just wonder if Sect Master Jin will feel ashamed and angry that the Palace Master is too arrogant.
Thinking of this, Qian Cheng looked at Jin Man, but was confused. He found that the face of the Jin Sect Master not only did not show any shame or dissatisfaction, but instead revealed a look of shock, and he even found a trace of panic on that face.
Jin Man's heart was indeed a little cold at this moment. When he raised his eyes and looked at the figure in the hall and saw the other person's face, the first thought in his mind was that the Sixth Elder guessed right.
The elders of Danshan Sect did have some opinions about their three sects.
Although nearly four hundred years have passed, he will never forget this face. In the last rookie competition, because of Danshan Sect, he paid close attention to the entire process and saw little by little how this person fought his way through the competition full of geniuses and won first place in the A class.
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for this person to come and garrison in their Tianhuo Territory.
"Jin Man meets Palace Master Chu."
After a while, Jin Man calmed down and walked into the hall. Qian Cheng, who was standing beside him, could feel the respect in the words of this Sect Leader Jin.
This was something he had never felt from Palace Master Liu before.
He made the right bet.
…
…
Half an hour later, Jin Man left Danshan Palace with a smile on his face. However, after walking a thousand miles away, the smile on Jin Man's face disappeared, and was replaced by a look of worry.
In Danshan Hall, Chu Ning's attitude was very friendly. He did not ask about the Tianhuo Mine. Instead, he praised the contribution made by Jinyu Sect to Danshan Sect.
But the more Chu Ning acted like this, the more uncertain Jin Man felt.
He now had the same feeling as when he was a foundation-building cultivator and was trying to figure out the psychology of the sect's elders.
After a while, Jin Man smiled bitterly. This was the pressure that Chu Ning brought to him.
They are both in the late Nascent Soul stage, but when facing Chu Ning, he feels as if he is facing a powerful God Transformation cultivator.
What Jin Man couldn't understand was that, logically speaking, it was just Chu Ning's reputation, so he shouldn't feel that much pressure, but he would feel pressure when facing Chu Ning.
Obviously Chu Ning was also in the late Nascent Soul stage like him, so where did the extra pressure come from? However, Jin Man soon put the matter behind him and decided to go back and report the matter to the Supreme Elder.
Since this concerns the future of the sect, the decision must be made by the Grand Elder.
…
…
Jinyuzong.
"Sister Ruobing, I'm sorry, my father may be busy with something in the sect, so I can't welcome you today."
"It's okay. I'm not here for the welcoming banquet."
Xu Ruobing changed into a soft and light purple satin dress with pink embroidery on the cuffs and neckline, and paired it with an exquisite belt, exuding an elegant temperament.
Xu Ruobing followed Jin Gege to Tianhuo Region because she had heard from Jin Gege that Tianhuo Region and Danshan Sect had a close relationship.
Then when Jingege invited her to her home, she couldn't help but agree.
Even Xu Ruobing herself didn't know why she agreed.
Is it because he is in Danshan Sect? (End of this chapter)
