The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 90 Shan Yangji

In the bustling crowd of Wushan Market, Li Xuanyue, wearing a mask to conceal his figure, came to the gate of a small courtyard and threw a talisman.

After a few breaths, the gate of the courtyard opened and she walked in. The magical barrier in the courtyard was opened to separate the inside and the outside.

"Xuanming, have you discovered anything unusual about Wushan Market recently?"

Li Xuanyue said with a serious expression.

"Eldest sister, I'm afraid something bad has happened. I've seen many foreign cultivators in the market these days. I heard they are cultivators from the Xiang family in the West Sea.

The Xiang family is a large family that guards the West Sea. There are rumors that they are going to move back inland to Baiwu Mountain and Guangyuan Mountain Range.

I’m afraid that war will break out again! Why don’t we go back to the mountain? We can still help the people in the mountain…”

"Shut up!" Li Xuanyue's expression turned cold, and he shouted: "Have you forgotten the last words of our ancestor before he died? You can't return to the mountain without the imperial edict.

What's more, even if you go back, you are just a Qi-refining cultivator. What's the point of killing a few Qi-refining cultivators in the overall situation?
The ancestor died because of the serious injuries he suffered from my sister and me. Do you want to let his hard work go to waste?"

Hearing her scolding, Li Xuanming lowered his head and said, "Eldest sister, I know I was wrong."

“Don’t just think about eating and forgetting about fighting. I know you have your heart set on the mountain sect, but sometimes being busy and loyal will only do more harm than good!” Li Xuanyue thought calmly, “In three years, it will be the Bailing Sect’s ancestor worship ceremony. At that time, I will watch the ceremony as a guest official. It is very likely that I will see the Xuangui Spirit Snake’s true cultivation, and then I will retreat to break through.

When the time comes, you will come to protect me. If I have achieved a breakthrough and have achieved true cultivation, I will then look at the current situation and decide whether to return to the mountain.

If the situation is not too bad, I will help you search for spiritual objects and break through the true cultivation. When the time comes, my brother and I will return to the mountain with both true cultivation, and we will be able to change the overall situation.

if…"

"If what?" Li Xuanming looked up and asked.

"If I fail to break through, you must hide your identity and be extremely cautious in hiding in Wushanfang to pursue true cultivation. You cannot return until you succeed in true cultivation!"

Li Xuanyue looked at him with a firm expression and said, "Have you remembered?"

"Yes! Eldest sister!" Li Xuanming was shocked and responded immediately.

……

In the world of ten thousand trees, in the quiet room of the bamboo house.

When this news reached Li Yuan's ears, a ripple arose in his heart. Unlike other true cultivators, he was in a situation where he was restricted by himself.

Li Yuan can see the overall situation from the perspective and height of an outsider, but his vision is too limited, and he can only know what is happening in Guangyuan Mountains and Wushan through the people and things around him. If he could know what is happening in the world and see the changes taking place in various places on the entire Nanjue Island, he might be able to see through this big game.

He had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but due to the scarcity of information, he was unable to form a coherent and comprehensive analysis.

Now we can only wait and see, but Li Yuan is quite confident in the current Qi Ling Sect, because the prosperity of Qi Ling Sect is unstoppable!

He simply closed his mind and began to concentrate on preparing to break through the third level.

……

Three years later, the five true cultivation sects of Guangyuan Mountain Range reunited in Wenshan Market after decades.

All the independent cultivators in the market town knew what was going on, it was because the Xiang family from the West Sea was coming!

The famous sacred mountain treasure land in the entire Nanjue Continent is full of people, and each family has their own territory. No matter how powerful the Xiang family is, they are still local tyrants after all.

If they fled before the battle, they could only seize sacred mountains in other regions. But they were not powerful dragons, so how could they suppress the local snakes in other places?
Instead of doing this, it is better to give it a try, which is the best way to protect your own interests.

No one would be foolish enough to move a clan unless it was absolutely necessary. There were too many aspects involved and too much interference.

Therefore, the five families had to unite again, and Yinque Mountain was able to gain complete recognition from the four families.

Baikuitang in Wenshan Market also reopened without any hindrance. As for the profit sharing of the market, Qi Lingmen did not mention it, and they would not give it up without asking for more advice.

In the Ling Pavilion, the five true practitioners gathered together.

The one sitting in the main seat was naturally Wang Qianli, a true cultivator of the Wang family. She had broken through to the fourth level ten years ago, but she was only now demonstrating her cultivation level to show her Wang family's leading position in the Guangyuan Mountains.

Sitting on the left is Xu Xinghan, who is now at the second level of cultivation. In recent years, no disciple of the Xu family has been able to break through to the true level of cultivation.

On the right was Chen Guan, who sat expressionless and silent.

Next came Fu Kong and Su Yao from Qingfeng Pavilion.

Seeing that the atmosphere had become cold, Xu Xinghan took the initiative to speak and asked with a smile, "Not long ago, I saw a strange phenomenon in Qingfeng Pavilion. It seems that the disciples of Xunfeng Sect have cultivated some magical powers, right?"

"Fellow Daoist Xu is indeed very perceptive. This cannot be hidden from your eyes." Fu Kong smiled and confessed, "Three months ago, a disciple of my pavilion, Lou Jing, was lucky enough to cultivate a magical power and achieve true cultivation, and he refined the magical power [Evergreen Wind]."

Su Yao heard this, smiled and bowed, saying: "Congratulations, fellow Daoist, you have a successor! Chang Qingfeng's magical power is quite good and long-lived. Your sect will not have to worry about not having true cultivation for at least the next five hundred years."

“Haha, no, no. Although this magical power is good for health preservation, it is not a powerful magical power. It cannot compare with Daoist friend’s great method.”

Although Fu Kong was being modest, he couldn't help but raise his lips slightly. "I heard that in the past few years, two more disciples of Qi Ling Sect have tried to break through to the true cultivation realm, and both of them caused strange phenomena in the world. Fellow Daoist Chen's sect is really full of talented people."

Hearing this, Chen Guan's face darkened, and he snorted coldly, "Fellow Daoist Fu, Chang Qingfeng's magical power is not even as good as my senior brother's mind magic, and his fighting skills are even worse. I'm afraid you have to be careful and stay in the door."

In the past few years, there have been three or five disciples in the sect who have attempted to break through to the true cultivation level. This is obviously a good thing. After all, if they did not have great confidence or were urged to do so, the disciples of the Qi Ling Sect would not dare to attempt the true cultivation that would almost certainly lead to their death.

The atmosphere in the sect is positive now, but it is very difficult to achieve true cultivation. The two disciples have attracted the celestial phenomena but have not succeeded. Five deacons who have reached the perfection of Qi Refining have died because of true cultivation breakthroughs, which has made the disciples in the sect afraid.

"Fellow Daoists, please stop arguing. We are sitting here today to discuss important matters, not to fight among ourselves."

Wang Qianli interrupted him coldly and continued, “The Xiang family will arrive in half a year. Although some of the clan members have gone to Wushan, we still cannot let our guard down.

Our Wang family decided to build a defense line at the western border of Guangyuan Mountain Range. All families sent disciples to guard the defense line with our Wang family to prevent the Xiang family members from entering our Guangyuan Mountain Range.

Today, you are all here to discuss the number of disciples each family will send out."

"Go west? Chen Guan couldn't help but speak first: "My Qi Ling Sect is at the easternmost part of Guangyuan Mountains, thousands of miles away. I don't know how much trouble it will cause if we pass through the territories of various families." "Yes, my Qingfeng Pavilion is only more than 2,000 miles closer to Qi Ling Sect. It would take too much manpower and material resources to build a defense line in the west, right? It's better for each family to defend..."

Fu Kong also took the opportunity to decline, but before he could finish his words, Wang Qianli interrupted him and said, "If that's the case, my Wang family will just pack up and leave. At worst, we can just occupy a small family and make a living!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked. The Wang family was extremely powerful, with four true cultivators... let's say three and a half, and Wang Qianli, who was in the middle of the fourth turn. As long as they were willing, they could indeed occupy a mountain gate in other places.

But they couldn't do it. Even if there was only one true cultivator in other places, that was a mountain gate or cave dwelling that had been managed by others for hundreds of years. Without three or five true cultivators, it would be difficult to destroy one true cultivator of the other side.

And once the enemy's true cultivator leaves alive, even if the mountain gate is built, the safety of the disciples will not be guaranteed as the enemy's true cultivator will be watching the mountain gate day and night.

"I agree with you, Brother Wang. The Xiang family is like a giant monster. If we can't gather everyone's strength into a rope, we will be powerless to resist it."

Su Yao said, “What we need to do is not necessarily to beat them back, but to make the Xiang family feel that we are not easy to provoke, and the cost is too high, so they will naturally retreat.

After all, the Baiwu Mountain is larger than our Guangyuan Mountain Range, so it should be more suitable than our place."

Xu Xinghan also nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Su is the one who can see things clearly. My Xu family is also willing to send disciples to fight!"

“Fellow Daoist Su, you…” Chen Guan’s face was uncertain, but he still said, “If that’s the case, then my Qi Ling Sect is willing too.”

Fu Kong saw that everyone's eyes were gradually focused on him, and he sighed, "You have all made your decision, so I can only follow you."

"Okay, since all of you fellow Taoists have this intention, my Wang family will never treat you unfairly." Wang Qianli said generously: "After this battle, if you can survive, I will personally refine a mid-grade spiritual weapon for each of you as a thank you gift."

"Fellow Daoist, you are so generous!" Fu Kong's face looked much better, and he said with a smile: "Do the disciples sent by each sect have any requests?"

"Of course the more the better." Wang Qianli said thoughtfully, "At least in terms of true cultivation, every family must have one person!

Except for some disciples who stayed behind at the mountain gate and disciples valued by various families, all other disciples must go into battle!

Each family must send at least 200 people, those in the late stage of Qi Refining must send at least 20 people, and the number of people in the early and middle stages is up to you to decide. "

"At least two hundred people?" Fu Kong's face turned bitter. "Fellow Daoist Wang, my Qingfeng Pavilion has always had few disciples. It's been less than a hundred years since the beast tide calamity, and we have finally recovered some vitality. These two hundred disciples are really a bit difficult."

"This is the bottom line!" Wang Qianli said with a straight face, "The Xu family must send at least 300 people, and the Qiling Sect must send at least 400 people! As for the reason, I think Fellow Daoist Chen and Fellow Daoist Xu should also know it, right?"

"Three hundred people? This is really embarrassing for my Xu family." Xu Xinghan's eyelids jumped, "Does this include all my direct descendants?"

"Four hundred people? Why does my Qi Ling Sect have the most people?" Chen Guan almost couldn't help but asked in a cold voice.

Wang Qianli looked calm and unmoved as he said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, your Xu clan occupies such a rich area in Qinghe. With the accumulation of wealth over the years, there must be eight or nine hundred cultivators in your clan, right?"

Xu Xinghan said softly: "But most of those in my clan are recruited from the independent cultivation base. They can help to strengthen our army, but if it's really..."

"Self-cultivators are also cultivators!" Wang Qianli replied, "At the battlefront, they will have to fight to the death for their lives!

Speaking of Qi Ling Sect, Fellow Daoist Chen, among the five families, only my Wang family had more people than yours before the catastrophe. Now your Qi Ling Sect has more than a thousand disciples, and the magic talismans and spirit puppets in the Sanqingfang are very profitable. The more disciples you raise, the more disciples you have. Not to mention 400 people, even 800 who can fight can be organized with just one order from Fellow Daoist!"

"That's also what our sect can afford with its inheritance. Even though we have a large number of disciples in the Qi Ling Sect, 80% of the spiritual lands and minerals within the Guangyuan Mountains are in the hands of you guys. Why don't you give some up to distribute them evenly?" Chen Guan said dissatisfiedly.

"Then I will give 10% of the profits from the market town occupied by my Wang family to your Qi Ling Sect. Are you satisfied, fellow Daoist?" Wang Qianli suddenly changed his words.

"If we lose the war, Wenshan Market will naturally cease to exist. What's the point of giving up the profits now?" Chen Guan would not agree. He said loudly, "If you are willing to give me a high-quality spiritual weapon as compensation, I will have nothing to say."

"I don't have the time to refine a top-grade spiritual weapon for you right now, why don't we wait..."

As Wang Qianli was speaking, his expression suddenly paused. He raised his eyes to the east, and his face became uncertain.

Her actions also attracted the attention of other true practitioners, and they all sent out their spiritual thoughts to explore to the east.

However, two hundred miles east of Wenshanfang City, a golden cloud rose in the sky, causing strange phenomena in heaven and earth, and many golden objects trembled.

"Is this... Jinde Magical Power?"

Xu Xinghan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Could it be that one of the disciples in Qi Ling Sect is about to become a true cultivator?"

Su Yao looked at him for a few seconds and hesitated to speak.

Chen Guan, who was standing by, showed a happy expression on his face, "Jin De, Fellow Daoist Su, can you take a look at how likely this vision is to come true?"

Su Yao hesitated and said, "Although this golden cloud auspicious sign has appeared, don't you fellow Taoists think that this movement is a little too small?"

"Yes, the noise was indeed too small." Fu Kong nodded and said, "Apart from the golden cloud, there is nothing else to be seen, no Taoist image, and no magical power. Most likely..."

Chen Guan immediately looked at Fu Kong with a frown, and then he stopped talking.

Several true practitioners stared at the cloud light not far away for a long time, but they did not see any auspicious signs. Instead, the golden cloud gradually became dim as time went on. By dusk, it had turned into a blurry black and gray mist.

"Alas, what a pity." Xu Xinghan sighed: "Such a strange phenomenon has already caused the golden instrument to vibrate. I'm afraid it's just the last step of magical power to lift it up."

The joy on Chen Guan's face was gone, and he looked gloomy instead.

The independent cultivators in Wenshan Market were all pointing at the strange phenomenon and talking about it, until at dusk when the sun was setting in the west, a clear symphony of sounds suddenly rang out between heaven and earth.

A light golden wave suddenly appeared in the sky above Qi Ling Mountain and spread in all directions.

Three ancient bronze coins fell at the same time, turning into a sky full of copper coins. The densely packed small holes covered the sky, which was very spectacular.

The three copper coins in the center suddenly trembled, with the single yang pointing upwards, indicating good fortune and great luck!

"It's done!"

In the mountains, Qian Shiyan, whose knuckles were clenched white, suddenly let out a long sigh and looked excited. She seemed even more excited than her own breakthrough in true cultivation.

When this scene appeared on the sky, even the dumbest person could see that it was a very auspicious sign and it would definitely succeed!
“Hahaha, I was right!” In the Spirit Pavilion of Wenshan Market, Chen Guan laughed loudly, his eyes filled with joy. He turned around and said, “Fellow Daoist Wang, when the top-grade spiritual weapon is delivered, the four hundred disciples of Qi Ling Sect will set out!”

　I had a slight fever today and had such a severe headache that I couldn't write, so I was delayed.
