What I teach you is real stuff.

Chapter 399 Follow the Rules
"What did you say? You want to join the Northern Continent Alliance?"

Inside the North Continent Alliance, in the core hall, Xiao Huang and King Jinjiao looked at each other, with a weird look on their faces.

Originally they thought that the matter of Prince Lotus had come to an end, but unexpectedly, more than a month later, Prince Lotus came to them again, and as soon as he came, he made a shocking statement, saying that he wanted to join the North Continent Alliance.

This sentence stunned Xiao Huang and the Golden Horned King.

This monk from the upper realm who came to the lower world to experience tribulation wants to join their Northern Continent Alliance?

If it was anyone else it would be fine, but this person's identity was extraordinary and this matter was not something that the two of them could decide.

Xiao Huang said, "Fellow Daoist Lianhua, we have to ask our leader about this matter."

Prince Lianhua said coldly: "Why do you have to ask Alliance Leader Lu about such a small matter? Isn't it an honor for you that I join your Northern Continent Alliance?"

Prince Lotus snorted coldly, expressing his incomprehension.

He thought that he was a member of the Chan sect in the upper realm, and his status in the Chan sect was not low, and he came down with the Chan sect's token in his hand.

No matter which force he joins in this world, it is just to gild the other party's face. In other words, whichever force Prince Lotus joins, it is equivalent to gilding that force with a layer of gold and adding a layer of protection.

As long as he is in that force, who in the Qingtian World has the courage to attack that force?
Prince Lotus felt that he joined the Northern Continent Alliance to give them face and to gild their Northern Continent Alliance.

Xiao Huang said, "Wait a moment."

Of course Xiao Huang would not take this person's words seriously. This guy had bad intentions, and what he said was like fart in Xiao Huang's mind. He only listened to his teacher.

Then Xiao Huang went to report to the teacher.

After listening to Xiao Huang's report, Lu Yuan said, "This Lotus Prince joined our Beizhou Alliance for some purpose."

Xiao Huang also nodded.

The intentions of Prince Lotus are known to everyone.

No one is a fool. This person ran from the fairyland to the lower world to experience tribulations and avoid disasters. He wants to use this body to rebuild his life. When he cultivates to the Mahayana stage or above and ascends to the fairyland again, it will be considered that he has completed the tribulations and can return to the fairyland.

But disciples like the three religions would naturally not be willing to suffer in the lower world and work hard alone, because without the support of resources, it would take them a long time to practice.

Therefore, the disciples of the three religions who come to the lower world to experience tribulations will basically find a powerful force to become a vassal. To put it nicely, they join the force to gild it, and to put it bluntly, they become blood-sucking parasites.

Rely on absorbing the resources of this force to quickly grow stronger. Generally, this kind of force will swallow up a large amount of resources in a short period of time to grow stronger.

Therefore, there is no good thing for this guy to join the Northern Continent Alliance. Instead, he came here to become a vampire.

Xiao Huang could see it too.

"Teacher, how should we deal with this?"

Although Prince Lotus's current strength is average, he does have a background. He came to provoke the North Continent Alliance before and came here to poach people, so they just ignored him.

But it is not easy to join them now. After all, they are backed by the Chan Sect. If we reject them openly, it would be a lack of respect.

Lu Yuan stood up: "Let's go take a look first."

……

In the main hall, Prince Lotus, his two followers, and a group of Xuanxu Sect disciples were sitting here drinking tea.

Prince Lotus was reincarnated into the body of a disciple of Xuanxu Sect. He has some feelings for Xuanxu Sect. According to the principle that if one person succeeds, all the rest of the family will benefit, Prince Lotus naturally takes Xuanxu Sect along with him in everything he does.

At this moment, Prince Lotus wanted to join the Northern Continent Alliance, so he naturally brought people from the Xuanxu Sect with him.

In fact, according to the original admission standards of the Northern Continent Alliance, a small sect like the Xuanxu Sect is now completely unable to reach the threshold of the Northern Continent Alliance.

After all, the current strength of Xuanxu Sect is too weak. The strongest person in the sect is Prince Lotus, who is in the Nascent Soul stage. The rest are just a group of Golden Cores. Under normal circumstances, they cannot join the Beizhou Alliance.

But now, following Prince Lotus, they can also enter the main hall of the Northern Continent Alliance to drink tea.

This was also the first time for the elders and disciples of Xuanxu Sect to come to the Beizhou Alliance. Looking at the magnificent decoration and layout of the hall, they felt like they were in a dream.

"This is the Northern Continent Alliance. It is indeed the number one force in the Qingtian World. It is so generous."

"A piece of jade inlaid in this hall can buy the ancestral land of our Xuanxu Sect. I never thought that we could join the Northern Continent Alliance."

"This is all thanks to Senior Brother Lianhua. Thank you, Senior Brother Lianhua!"

"Hey, don't call me that. The sect master has already passed the position of sect master to Senior Brother Lianhua, so you should call me Sect Master now."

"Once I join the Northern Continent Alliance, I will have endless resources. Just thinking about it makes me happy!"

"Not only that, the Northern Continent Alliance also provides free high-level martial arts. Our Xuanxu Sect will surely grow rapidly here!"

The elders and disciples of Xuanxu Sect all looked beaming with joy, as if they saw a bright future beckoning towards them.

Prince Lotus, who had been drinking tea nearby, listened to the flattery. Although he showed no expression on his face, he was secretly happy in his heart.

After all, no one doesn't like to be praised.

A group of people were talking, and Lu Yuan and Xiao Huang were approaching from a distance.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Daoist friend Lianhua, I'm sorry for not coming to meet you in person!"

Seeing Lu Yuan coming, Prince Lianhua also smiled slightly, pretending to be deep, and put down the teacup in his hand. However, he did not stand up, but said in the manner of an elder: "Alliance Master Lu is busy with all kinds of affairs, and it is so difficult for me to see you."

Lu Yuan said: "I'm sorry, but as the leader of an alliance, there are indeed many things to do."

Prince Lotus glanced at Xiao Huang and King Jinjiao and said, "You two disciples, too. I have to inform you of such a small matter. I think it is not necessary to inform you."

Prince Lotus had already started giving instructions before he joined the Northern Continent Alliance, teaching Xiao Huang and King Golden Horn, the two original high-ranking members of the Northern Continent Alliance, how to do things.

The Golden Horned King's expression also turned cold.

He sneered in his heart.

Damn it, you are just a mere Nascent Soul stage cultivator. If you didn't have the background of the Chan sect behind you, I would have slapped you to death if you dared to speak to me like that.

What to pretend?

Xiao Huang ignored him. He had known that this person was foul-mouthed. Now Xiao Huang no longer considered him a human being.

Lu Yuan sneered in his heart as he listened to what Prince Lianhua said.

The disciples of the Chan sect who came from the upper realm were indeed arrogant.

However, the more Prince Lotus behaved like this, the more Lu Yuan would be disgusted.

Lu Yuan ignored him and sat down, his eyes sweeping over Prince Lotus, the two followers who were transcending the tribulation, and the noisy group of people from the Xuanxu Sect.

He asked, "Fellow Daoist Lotus, you came to poach my people some time ago but failed. Why did you come here today?"

Lu Yuan was no pushover. Since the Lotus Prince didn't know how to chat, he didn't hold back and just made a sarcastic remark.

What? You came here to recruit people a while ago, but you didn't find any, and now you come here to embarrass yourself again? Prince Lianhua didn't expect Lu Yuan to be so disrespectful and sit down to talk about this directly.

Prince Lianhua sneered, "Alliance Master Lu is indeed good at managing his subordinates. I am convinced that I cannot poach your people, but I am not here to cause trouble today."

"Oh?"

Prince Lianhua: "I have come here today to seek refuge with Alliance Leader Lu. I want to join your Northern Continent Alliance as a disciple of the Chan Sect."

This is what Prince Lotus means by "if you can't have free food, you have to eat more of it".

He knew that Lu Yuan was indeed good at managing the North Continent Alliance. He had extended an olive branch to the Chan Sect that day, but over a month had passed and not a single Mahayana master from the North Continent Alliance had come to join him.

It can be seen that the North Continent Alliance is indeed an iron wall, and it is too difficult to replace it, so Prince Lotus changed his plan.

Since it is impossible to replace Lu Yuan, then just join him if you can't beat him.

Anyway, all he wanted was the resources of the Northern Continent Alliance. Prince Lianhua thought that it would be okay for him to join the Northern Continent Alliance. Moreover, he came here with the token of the Chan Sect today.

Can a small force in the lower world dare to stand in the way of the Chan sect?

Once he joins the Northern Continent Alliance, he will naturally have plenty of ways to retaliate.

In the future, when he absorbs the resources of the Beizhou Alliance to improve his cultivation, he will naturally find a way to weaken Lu Yuan's prestige from within. Replacing him will only be a matter of a word.

All I can say is that Prince Lotus is ambitious and indeed despicable.

His idea was good, but unfortunately he met Lu Yuan who didn't buy it.

Seeing Prince Lotus taking out the Chanjiao token without saying anything, Lu Yuan smiled and said, "When did you have the idea of ​​joining our Northern Continent Alliance, Fellow Daoist Lotus?"

Prince Lianhua looked directly at Lu Yuan: "Why? From what Alliance Leader Lu said, am I not qualified to join your Northern Continent Alliance? Do you look down on my Chan Sect?"

Prince Lotus talked about the Chan school every other sentence, which made Lu Yuan laugh.

It seems like this person cannot survive without the Chan sect.

Lu Yuan said: "That's not the case, fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand me. With your status, you are more than qualified to join our Northern Continent Alliance. It can be regarded as a gilding to our Northern Continent Alliance.

But precisely because of this, I'm afraid it's not convenient for us to accept you."

Prince Lotus: “????”

What does this mean? I have enough status, but it is not convenient to receive it? Are you kidding me?

Lu Yuan said: "As one of the three religions in the upper world, the Chan Sect is very famous in the upper world. Who doesn't know that there are so many masters? Before Fellow Daoist Lianhua came to the lower world, he was also a top immortal and a mainstay of the Chan Sect.

Nowadays, the tribulations in the lower world are just like a dragon swimming in the shallows. Daoyou is a Taoist immortal who joined our Northern Continent Alliance. How can a small sect like us in the lower world withstand it?"

Lu Yuan said that to put it bluntly, our Beizhou Alliance is still too small compared to your Chan Sect, just like the sun in the sky compared to the candlelight on the ground.

You, an immortal from the Chan sect, have condescended to join the Beizhou Alliance and work under Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan said that he dared not accept you, and this explanation is reasonable.

So if Prince Lotus joined the Northern Continent Alliance as a disciple of the Chan Sect, he would not dare to accept him because his status was too high and he could not afford to accept him.

Prince Lotus's face darkened. He didn't expect Lu Yuan to refuse with this reason.

The key point is that the reason is quite good and he can't find any point to refute it.

Prince Lotus asked coldly, "If I insist on joining, will you still reject me?"

Lu Yuan immediately said, "I dare not, but if you insist on joining, you must follow our rules."

There is no order without rules. This sentence makes sense no matter where you put it. Even if the ancestor of the Chan sect comes, he has to be reasonable when hearing this.

Prince Lotus asked, "What are the rules?"

Lu Yuan: "If you want to join our Beizhou Alliance, I won't stop you, but if you join as a strong man of the Chan Sect, I won't dare to accept you.

If you insist on joining, then come in a different capacity and follow the normal membership process of our Northern Continental Alliance."

"What process?" Prince Lotus was confused.

He didn't know much about the Northern Continental Alliance, nor did he know what the procedures were.

Lu Yuan glanced at King Jinjiao and said, "What are the normal procedures and standards for external sects to join our Northern Continent Alliance? Tell me about it, fellow Daoist Lianhua."

King Jinjiao suppressed his smile, looked at the group of people from Xuanxu Sect and Prince Lianhua, and said, "Yes."

Then the Golden Horned King spoke and followed the procedure.

“As our Northern Continent Alliance grows stronger, more and more sects join the alliance every year, making it difficult to manage. So five hundred years ago, we drastically reduced the list of sects that recruit each year.

Currently, we only expand the number of sects by approximately 3 each year, and sects that wish to join our Northern Continent Alliance must meet the following requirements.

First: There must be at least ten powerful masters in the sect, at least three monks who have transcended the tribulation, and the sect master must meet the level of transcending the tribulation.

Second: The sect that joins the alliance must have a skill that is useful to the alliance. After all, the alliance does not keep idle people.

Third: No speculation or temporary establishment of sects is allowed.

......"

King Jinjiao introduced them one by one. These are the requirements for joining the Northern Continent Alliance now.

The current Northern Continent Alliance is no longer what it used to be. In the past, it was indeed easy for outside sects to join the Northern Continent Alliance, and the threshold was very low.

But now, more than a thousand years have passed, and the power of the Northern Continent Alliance has become too great. There is no need to expand outward anymore. Therefore, if sects outside want to come in and enjoy the benefits, the conditions required are very harsh.

But despite this, there are still sects competing for these three places every year.

After listening to King Jinjiao's introduction, Lu Yuan said, "Fellow Daoist Lianhua, if your sect really wants to join our Northern Continent Alliance, then we should follow the rules. This will be convenient for both you and me."

Lu Yuan looked at Prince Lotus meaningfully.

I'm following the rules, you won't have any objections, right?
Or do you, a disciple of the Upper Realm Chan Sect, not know the rules? Or do you want to take the back door and come to the Northern Continent Alliance to suck blood and take advantage?
It wouldn't sound good if this got out.

Prince Lotus didn't expect that Lu Yuan could accomplish this with just a few words.

In this case, he really couldn't find anything to say.

After all, although he was using the tiger skin of the Chan sect as a coat, this was also a double-edged sword with both advantages and disadvantages.

Having the support of the Chan sect is certainly glorious, but he also has to shoulder the responsibility of bringing shame to the Chan sect, and he cannot bring shame to the Chan sect openly.

The Northern Continent Alliance operates according to the rules. You are a disciple of the Chan Sect, right? You can't be unable to meet even this condition?
The more Prince Lotus thought about it, the more depressed he became. Finally, he stood up in anger and slammed the table.

"Okay, Alliance Leader Lu, I will keep today's events in mind. We have a long way to go!"

Prince Lotus turned around: "Let's go!"
