Chapter 53 The Inheritor and the Hidden Man
"You don't know that the city is divided into the city area and the Dao area. The Dao area is located within the Heavenly Law and Earth Spring. The energy of the Heavenly Law is many times stronger than here. There is not only the Jiuli Daoist Academy, but also the Sui Sect, the Tianyi Sect, the Guanhai Pavilion, and the Chen Clan's Sanchen Palace."
"I'm Gao Huan, a pure immortal body. I've only been practicing for a dozen days, right? I've already opened the first spring."
Gao Huan talked with Lao Liu, Lao Guan, and Qin Ke at length, and was in high spirits. He whispered, "I'm not afraid to tell you that the Five Seas Realm seniors in Jiuli Daoyuan are all vying to take me in as their apprentice. Moreover, they have been introducing the most beautiful granddaughters and nieces in their tribe one after another, wanting to marry me, and even saying that I can marry more than one. They don't practice monogamy here. Isn't that annoying?"
"Very ordinary, very ordinary."
Everyone said in unison.
…
After lunch, Li Ling and Gao Huan left.
Before leaving, Li Ling called Qin Ke and the other two to Yu Hui, saying that she would go to Jiuli Taoist Temple to practice for a while, and asked Li Weiyi to find her there if he had anything to do.
Cai Yutong stayed.
She seemed to have no interest in people, but became very interested after discovering a room full of spiders.
In a dim room.
Li Weiyi told Senior Guan and Senior Lingwei exactly what Li Songlin said, wanting to hear their opinions. After all, their understanding of cultivation and the Jiuli tribe was not comparable to Li Weiyi's.
The remains of the stone coffin pondered for a moment and said, "If it were in the past, entering the Jiuli Daoyuan would naturally be a good way. But I heard from your companion that there are so many sects and forces in the Daoyu now, which shows that the Jiuli tribe has declined greatly."
"You have to know that the Dao Realm of Jiuli City is the core of the Jiuli Clan's core interests. It used to only have the Jiuli Dao Academy. The core interests have been divided into several large pieces."
Li Weiyi felt lost and angry from Senior Coffin.
"The tribal leaders of the Jiuli tribe in recent generations are simply bastards." The spiritual elder said angrily.
Senior Guan said, "Youyi, your physique and cultivation speed are different from ordinary people. You have too many secrets. If you enter Jiuli Daoyuan without a strong enough force to support you, you will be too prominent and will definitely cause disaster."
"Such support must be based on blood ties. Just like the Cangli, he probably has more than just the Cangli tribe behind him, but the entire Jiuli."
"He is obviously being trained as the first inheritor of the new generation of Jiuli Taoist Academy. He can represent the Jiuli tribe and travel the world, shouldering the responsibility of revitalizing the Jiuli tribe."
"Anyone who touches a special being like him must think carefully. The price of killing him will be the wrath of the entire Jiuli tribe."
"Do you think that if someone kills you, the Jiuli tribe will unite to avenge you? Even if it's just the Cangli tribe, what can they do for you? Will they risk their entire tribe to support you?"
"Let alone anything else, if people knew that you opened the Five Springs in just one month, it would be enough to provoke the Five Seas Realm to kill you!"
Li Weiyi felt mixed emotions and said, "It seems that entering Jiuli Taoist Temple does more harm than good."
"I have a way here. It's a little risky, but it may be a better choice for you."
Senior Guan continued, "In Lingxiao Habitat, the top forces will train successors of each generation, which may be one person or several people. Without exception, these successors are all pure immortal bodies, and have opened the Nine Springs, with unparalleled talents and appearance."
"They travel the world, see all kinds of things in the world, and observe the dangers of all walks of life. While they are gaining experience, they are also living signs for the sects and families, attracting countless talents to follow and join. The sects and families will naturally grow and develop accordingly."
“So these inheritors will generally become the masters of sects and gates in the future.”
Li Weiyi smiled and said, "The charm of idols can indeed make many people crazy."
Senior Guan said: "But if a superpower wants to be passed down for a thousand years or even ten thousand years, relying only on the power on the surface will be seen through at a glance. Therefore, in addition to cultivating the face, it is also necessary to cultivate the inner strength."
"The inheritor is the face, while the inside is called the hidden god."
“The resources obtained by the Hidden Gods are even better than those obtained by the Inheritors, but the competition for this position is also more brutal.”
"You should be able to guess that I had a connection with the Jiuli tribe when I was alive. I admit that I have some selfish motives in letting you take this path."
"But the path of the Hidden God will allow you to obtain the Jiuli people's cultivation resources while also receiving their protection. It will also impose very little restrictions on you. I think you can seriously consider it."
Li Weiyi asked, "What do you mean by cruelty, Senior?"
“The competition is fierce.”
Senior Guan said, "Every year, the nine tribes will select one or several young men and send them to the Jiuli Hidden Gate, and only one person can survive each year. It is still unknown whether this person can become a Hidden God. It is very likely that he can only be a Hidden God's servant."
"It takes decades for the God of Hidden to select one."
Li Weiyi smiled and said, "Senior... aren't you trying to trick me?"
Senior Guan said, "Listen to me. Since I have prepared this path for you, I have a foolproof plan. Before going to the Jiuli Hidden Gate, you must first break through the Ninth Spring. With your combat power at the Ninth Spring, you don't need to compete at all, and you can conquer those people in the Jiuli Hidden Gate... How should I put it, let's call them humans for now! When the time comes, take the Hidden Gate's Five Seas Pill and you can directly enter the Five Seas Realm."
"In addition to breaking the Nine Springs, there is another way to fight for the hidden god, but it is somewhat dangerous and requires a trip to King Cang's Tomb. We still have plenty of time at the moment, and your cultivation speed is fast enough, so there is no need to take that risk."
At this time, Senior Lingwei spoke up: "The current situation is more complicated than we thought. There seem to be problems both inside and outside the Jiuli tribe. I think he should go to the Hidden Gate as soon as possible. The cultivation environment of the Hidden Gate is better than that of the Dao Realm, and it can make you go faster. How can there be no risk on this path of cultivation?"
Li Weiyi said, "Wait a minute, both of you...To be the hidden god of the Jiuli tribe, I'm afraid that not only does one need strength, but also their absolute trust, right?"
"You don't have to worry about this. Since your senior Guan dared to arrange this path for you, he can naturally solve this problem." said senior Lingwei.
"That's right, just concentrate on your cultivation first. I will discuss with your spiritual senior how to choose between the two methods."
Senior Guan thought of something and said, "We are too weak now. We need to train a strong enough guardian. What do you think of Zhao Zhizhuo?"
Li Weiyi smiled and said, "We are thinking the same thing! But I cannot afford the consequences of exposing a top-notch magic weapon at the moment."
"Aren't you being too cautious? Even if Zhao Zhizhuo's cultivation is restored, no one would suspect you, who is at the Yongquan realm."
Senior Guan said, "How about this, hand him over to me, I will help him recover his cultivation, and at the same time I can pretend to be a strong man to scare him a little. Of course, it depends on whether you are willing to spend money..."
This money is definitely indispensable!
Li Weiyi felt a little pain in his flesh and said with a sad face: "I finally made two fortunes with great difficulty. How much did it cost?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
In addition to the 100,000 silver coins from the Changlin Gang, Li Ling also brought money for buying a house from the Cangli tribe today.
“Imagine how much money those sects have to spend to train a Five Seas Realm cultivator. This might make you feel better.” Senior Coffin gave a rare laugh.
Li Weiyi walked out of the room and looked at the whole family in front of him. He felt a serious lack of security in his heart and decided to put Zhao Zhizhuo's cultivation recovery plan on the agenda. Only with a real Five Sea Realm strongman in charge, he could feel more at ease whether he went to the Tomb of King Cang or retreated to attack the Sixth Spring.
…
The next day.
Li Weiyi and Zhao Zhizhuo drove a newly purchased carriage towards the city gate.
There are still many scars on Zhao Zhizhuo's body, but he is no longer in danger and can move freely.
After entering the city, magnificent buildings come into view, luxurious carriages are driven everywhere, and at any time you can see exotic beasts with a terrifying aura and disciples of the sects wearing uniform clothes.
"Go to West Market." Li Weiyi said.
Zhao Zhizhuo was a very skilled driver. He pulled the reins, whipped the horse, and turned west.
Li Weiyi said, "I heard that to reshape a broken spring, you need to buy spring fluid. This thing should be very expensive, right?"
Zhao Zhizhuo knew the spring liquid too well. He said, "The spring liquid is the essence condensed from the spring eyes of Daozhong realm masters. If they were not so poor that they could barely make ends meet, they would never sell this thing. On the market, a drop of spring liquid is worth a thousand silver coins."
Li Weiyi stroked his chest and asked again, "How many drops are needed to reshape a spring?"
"I used three drops to reshape the first spring. I used five drops to reshape the second spring," said Zhao Zhizhe.
Li Weiyi asked, "Old Zhao, how many springs did you open back then?"
"Eight springs."
Zhao Zhizhuo thought of the past, with a proud look on his face, and said, "You should know that a martial artist who breaks through the Eight Springs is called a hero, which is harder than breaking through the Five Seas. Let me tell you this, among twenty martial artists of the Seven Springs, only one can break through the Eight Springs. But among ten martial artists of the Seven Springs, only one can enter the Five Seas. Of course, this data is not accurate, it's just an example."
"Old Zhao, do you believe me?" Li Weiyi said.
Zhao Zhizhuo was not a fool, and he became nervous instantly: "Brother Li, are you trying to buy me spring fluid? There is no need to waste this money. I don't know how much money I wasted back then, and it was completely useless. I tried every method, and after years of hard work, I only managed to reshape Erquan. My heart has long since returned to peace."
"Have you accepted your fate? Are you willing? I heard that you once opened all five Qi Seas in the Five Seas Realm, and your cultivation is very high."
Li Weiyi said: "If you trust me, don't ask anything. We have purchased the spring liquid, and I will take you to see a senior who can help you."
Zhao Zhizhuo knew Li Weiyi's character and would never do anything without a purpose. His emotions were ignited at once, and his heart was filled with turmoil. He stared at Li Weiyi, his hands shaking uncontrollably.
"Drive, drive, look at the road... sit back... can you be a little calmer?" Li Weiyi said.
Zhao Zhizhuo was almost in tears and asked anxiously, "Which senior can help me rebuild the spring? There are less than ten magical instruments in the entire Lingxiao habitat... It seems that there are none in Lizhou..."
"I've already told you, don't ask. If you ask again, we'll go back now. That senior hates people who talk too much." Li Weiyi said.
"No, no... I won't ask anymore."
After Zhao Zhizhuo finished speaking, he continued, "That senior is really in Jiuli City... OK, OK, I won't ask anymore... I'll drive, I'll drive well..."
