You, a druid, go to practice Taoism?.

Chapter 254: Inner Sect Discussion! Weird!

Han Li said something cryptic and then said goodbye and left.

Qi Ping fell into deep thought as he looked at Han Li's leaving back.

Although Han Li spoke cryptically, a murderous aura was overwhelming!

That is to say, even though Qi Ping has obtained the qualification to exchange rare resources, he may be targeted or even killed because he has snatched the original shares of some people!

The senior brother that Han Li mentioned was most likely killed by the current vested interests in Qingyuan Sect.

"If that's the case, isn't this killing the future pillars of our sect?"

What’s the difference between this and the ancient armies killing their own core generals?
"Why does the Qingyuan Sect always like to do things like digging up its own foundation?"

Forget about the previous battles between the sects, Qi Ping didn't know the inside story, but allowing the Immortal Alliance to make blood food and helping the Immortal Alliance deal with his clone, the Bee Taoist, were all real events.

So Qi Ping did not doubt the authenticity of these things.

Moreover, Qi Ping had also witnessed those independent cultivators devouring their own kind for resources. When cultivation resources were scarce, cannibalism was a common occurrence, not to mention killing a fellow cultivator who was regarded as a pillar of the group.

"But how long can this practice of digging up one's own roots continue? Have they really come to the point where they only care about cutting down trees to make money and don't care about the future generations who will enjoy the shade?"

Although it's a bit outrageous, it does seem like something a cultivator would do.

In addition to mentioning the fierce competition for the sect's rare resources, Han Li also vaguely mentioned the issue of sect factions to Qi Ping.

That is to say, the top leaders of Qingyuan Sect are currently divided into three factions. If Qi Ping wants to settle down and ensure his own safety, he must choose to join a suitable faction.

With the protection of the faction, Qi Ping's safety is guaranteed to a certain extent, and he is qualified to compete for the resources to achieve the Golden Elixir. With Qi Ping's qualifications, the probability of achieving the Golden Elixir is much greater!
And if you don't stand with any faction, it will be the most dangerous, just like Han Li's deceased senior brother.

However, if you want to gain a foothold in a faction, in addition to being accepted and recognized by the other party, you also need to sign a contract and swear an oath to heaven before you are qualified to join the team.

According to Han Li, if it weren't for his senior brother being too stubborn and unwilling to side with any faction, he would have ended up like this.

"As expected, no good bread is free. Basically, everything has a corresponding price."

"Ugh!"

Thinking of this, Qi Ping couldn't help but sigh. Although his current qualifications were not bad, they were still far from enough for someone to make an exception for him.

But Qi Ping would never sign that kind of contract and oath to heaven. Without knowing Qi Ping in detail, one could imagine how harsh those conditions would be.

He had read so many classics and knew clearly the consequences of making an oath to heaven. An oath should not be made lightly!

"So when it comes to choosing a faction, I have to disappoint Brother Han."

Qi Ping could only do the same as his senior brother Han Li and not stand on anyone's side. It was absolutely impossible for him to swear the oath to heaven. For him, that would simply be destroying his own future!
"But it's not certain who will be in danger!"

Thinking of this, Qi Ping smiled. He now had a solid and powerful foundation, was proficient in various spells, could set up a six-in-one super combination killing array, and had a terrifying number of wind blade bees on him.
Qi Ping, on the other hand, had a good impression of Han Li, a guy who didn't look outstanding but had an extraordinary temperament. Han Li's final reminder also made Qi Ping's favorability towards him doubled.

However, Qi Ping did not fully believe Han Li's words. Instead, he planned to continue to understand the internal situation of Qingyuan Sect before deciding what to do next.

So Qi Ping temporarily settled down in the No. 7 Immortal Palace in the inner gate area of Qingyuan Sect.

In the following time, Qi Ping studied the rules and various information of Qingyuan Sect, and also exchanged various information with other inner disciples of Qingyuan Sect.

Because after the news of Qi Ping's four superb talents and his evaluation as a mainstay by the Mirror of the Heart spread, many inner disciples of the Qingyuan Sect came to visit him almost every day.

Among them are talented disciples in the late stage of foundation building, as well as inner disciples in the late stage of Qi refining or those who have reached the perfection of Qi refining.

Some came to extend an olive branch to Qi Ping, some came to curry favor with Qi Ping, and some simply wanted to communicate and discuss philosophy with Qi Ping.

Qi Ping basically accepted all of these people regardless of their identities or purpose, and had friendly exchanges with them.

Qi Ping continued this kind of communication for nearly two months!

After communicating with many disciples of Qingyuan Sect, Qi Ping finally had a relatively clear understanding of Qingyuan Sect.

The basic situation was not much different from what Han Li had said, except that Qi Ping knew more detailed information, gossip, taboos and so on.

In addition to this information, Qi Ping's most unexpected gain was the discussion with other inner disciples!
Among the inner disciples of Qingyuan Sect, there are quite a few who are wholeheartedly devoted to cultivating immortals and seeking the Tao. They have very unique comprehension and insights into realm cultivation, Tao heart, the true meaning of laws, and so on!

After having in-depth exchanges with them, Qi Ping found that he had a deeper understanding of the practice of immortality!
Even after witnessing the cultivation paths of more people, Qi Ping has a firmer belief in his own cultivation path, and his Tao heart has become stronger and more solid.

"If there is an opportunity in the future, we can continue this discussion and exchange!"

This incident not only allowed Qi Ping to gain a lot of insights into spiritual practice, but also allowed Qi Ping to meet many friends. Many secret information about the Qingyuan Sect were revealed to him by these people.

One of them turned out to be the green-clothed woman Lin Qingshu whom Qi Ping had met in Qingshi County. After discussing the Dao, Qi Ping discovered that this woman was a cultivation nerd, but her comprehension of cultivation and sword intent made Qi Ping look at her with new eyes, and also made Qi Ping gain a lot.

The reason why these people are willing to become friends with Qi Ping and reveal a lot of information that Qi Ping needs is not only because of Qi Ping's own qualifications and the evaluation of the Mirror of the Heart, but more because of Qi Ping's deep understanding of cultivation and his extensive knowledge of cultivation!
This benefits them a lot!

Because compared to Qi Ping's gains, their gains were the greatest! It was also because of their gratitude that they told Qi Ping everything they knew!

Qi Ping didn't care who gained more from the discussion, because overall, his gains were big enough, both in terms of information collection and understanding of cultivation!
"Just based on this discussion, I have benefited a lot from this trip to Qingyuan Sect!"

Thinking of this, Qi Ping became more and more looking forward to the knowledge in the Qingyuan Sect's martial arts pavilion.

Only two months had passed, but the Qingyuan Sect's top brass had yet to allocate the corresponding status and resources to him in response to his evaluation as "the backbone of the sect."

"strangeness……"

This made Qi Ping confused, and he gradually became restless. He couldn't just sit there and wait like this...
