"I can guarantee that the sect will not decline under my leadership. If you wish to leave, you may take the spirit stones that are rightfully yours and depart on your own."
“These spirit stones are enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your lives. Of course, those who want to stay in the new sect can stay as well.” Ruan Xiyan used both soft and hard tactics.
Lu Ji looked at Ruan Xiyan, his feelings were complicated and mixed.
With this person's strength, they could easily kill them with force and then take over the sect.
Now she's actually giving them spirit stones back, and she's even discussing things with them. She's so good-natured, even though they're the ones who robbed her.
Lu Ji looked at the spirit stones on the ground, then at the shining eyes of the disciples around him, and sighed.
These spiritual stones and a stable life are very tempting; at least you don't have to resort to robbery or do dangerous things that could cost you your life at any moment.
The Rejuvenation Sect has finally come to an end.
However, if the sect could be handed over to this person, it would indeed be the best choice.
That way, he wouldn't have to watch helplessly as the sect he built with his own hands was destroyed by his own hands.
Lu Ji knelt down before Ruan Xiyan, "I am willing to stay and serve you, sir, to jointly build a brand new sect."
After much deliberation, he was still unwilling to give up his wish to establish a sect.
Every blade of grass and every tree in the sect was carefully arranged by him back then. He didn't want to go anywhere; he wanted to try again.
The disciples swallowed hard, struggling to tear their gazes away from the spirit stones. "We're not leaving either."
They also wanted to make a big splash and see where the sect would ultimately end up.
Moreover, wherever the boss is, that's where they are.
Ruan Xiyan looked at Lu Ji and said, "Get up first. Since you have chosen to stay, I will certainly not treat you unfairly."
"However, it's best to avoid robbing people like this in the future; it's undignified."
Lu Ji scratched the back of his head sheepishly, "We were forced to do this before, but from now on we'll follow the adults and promise to turn over a new leaf and start anew."
"By the way, I still don't know your name, sir?"
“My name is Ruan Xiyan.” Ruan Xiyan said, looking at the broken sect plaque. “The sect’s name is bad; it sounds stupid.”
"What does the sect leader think should be called?" Lu Ji asked, changing his mind very quickly.
“The Illusionary Concealment Sect.” Ruan Xiyan thought for a moment and then said a name.
Lu Ji pondered the three words carefully, then touched his forehead. They did indeed sound better than his previous name, Huichun Sect.
Ruan Xiyan took a quick stroll around the sect and looked at Lu Ji, saying, "Make sure the sect's gate and plaque are properly arranged. Don't make it look so shabby. This is the face of the sect; we can't be short of spirit stones."
She raised her hand and took out some more spirit stones. "These spirit stones will all be used for the construction of the sect."
Lu Ji's eyes lit up. "Sect Master is so generous."
"I'll leave the matters of building the sect to you." Ruan Xiyan took out a blueprint and handed it to Lu Ji. "Just follow this."
Lu Ji looked at the drawings of the sect's layout, from the overall structure to the smallest details, clearly indicating that it had been prepared for a long time.
He originally thought that this person was building a sect just on a whim, for the sake of having fun.
After all, a genius of her age would definitely be treated like royalty by the powerful forces behind her, and she would have whatever she wanted.
But seeing the detailed blueprints she took out, her serious attitude suggested she wasn't just playing around.
Ruan Xiyan seemed to have guessed what Lu Ji was thinking and said, "I don't have any powerful backing. I established the Illusionary Hidden Sect with all my might, and my desire to make the sect bigger is the same as yours."
"The Illusionary Hidden Sect is my power. I believe that in the future, the Illusionary Hidden Sect will become my support and confidence, and even the support of all of you."
Lu Ji was surprised that Ruan Xiyan was so frank in telling him all this.
If the sect leader wasn't from a major power and didn't have abundant resources to nurture him from a young age, how could he have raised his strength to this level?
How amazing must the sect leader's cultivation talent be!
Moreover, he never expected that Ruan Xiyan would entrust him with such an important matter as the construction of the sect.
"You trust me?" Lu Ji asked incredulously. "Aren't you afraid I'll run away with these spirit stones?"
"Trust those you employ, and don't employ those you don't trust," Ruan Xiyan replied calmly. "I'm quite good at judging people."
"If you were greedy for money and spirit stones, why would you have clung to a sect that could barely make a living before?"
"You have a burning desire in your heart to make the sect stand tall on the continent. It's something you haven't done yet. I'm giving you this opportunity. Let's do it together."
"Sect Master, rest assured, I will not let you down." Lu Ji's tone was sincere and earnest as he tightly gripped the sect's construction blueprints in his hand, his heart filled with excitement.
This feeling reminded him of the passion and excitement he felt when he first established his sect.
Ruan Xiyan plans to stay here for a few days.
Since this place is to be the foundation of her future power, nothing can be taken lightly, and she needs to keep a close eye on it personally for a period of time.
To avoid any problems at the beginning.
Moreover, the amount of spirit stones needed to completely renovate and rebuild the sect is not small.
Moreover, this is the cultivation continent, where all expenses are inherently greater than in the secular continent.
With the spirit stones she currently has, she can sustain the sect in its early stages, but the sect's future operations will be somewhat strained.
Ruan Xiyan never imagined that one day she would be short of spirit stones.
After all, she never lacked these things back in the secular world.
It seems I'll have to find a way to get some spirit stones later.
The fastest and most efficient way to earn spirit stones is through alchemy and weapon crafting.
Her space contains a medicinal herb garden where she can refine herbs into pills, increasing their value more than a hundredfold.
Inside the room, Ruan Xiyan took out a cauldron and began refining pills.
Time passed slowly, and Ruan Xiyan refined elixir after elixir.
Looking at the pile of pills on the ground, there were enough pills for them.
Ruan Xiyan raised her hand and put them back into her spatial storage along with the alchemy cauldron.
She opened the door and went out, intending to ask Lu Ji where she could buy elixirs.
As soon as I stepped outside, I could faintly hear the sounds of arguing and shouting coming from outside.
Ruan Xiyan frowned and walked towards the direction from which the sound came.
At the main gate of the Illusionary Concealment Sect.
Lu Ji saw the group of people who had appeared, and then looked at the disciple lying on the ground, his eyes filled with anger. "Dou Chang, don't go too far."
"That's going too far. This is nothing." A burly man revealed a ferocious and sinister smile.
He kicked one of his disciples, who was lying at his feet, flying away.
Lu Ji's expression changed, and he flew forward to catch the disciple who was spitting blood.
He charged at Dou Chang, shouting, "Dou Chang, this is my territory! You can't run wild here!"
