A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 179: Clear grudges

Without a doubt, following Tian Ru's gaze, everyone's attention once again focused on Li Weizhou.

Lei Qianjue, with his fiery temper, couldn't help but sneer, "Elder Tian, ​​what do you mean by this? The Five Elements Grand Formation is indeed exquisite and can be called the number one sect formation in the Northern Spirit Domain. However, if the person in charge of the formation is just a young upstart in the Spirit Transformation stage, can he withstand the attack of an old ghost from the Sin Clan in the Spirit God stage? I think the Five Elements Sect has fallen to this state today, and I think it is also related to your confusion."

The disdain on her face made Tian Ru's heart ache.

She had been in charge of the Five Elements Sect since her father's generation, but now she had fallen so low that people were bullying her from within the sect and even humiliating her.

Li Weizhou suddenly spoke up: "Elder Lei, if you feel this place can no longer protect your Xuanlei Sword Sect, you are free to leave. If you still want to shamelessly hide in my Five Elements Sect, you'd better recall the upbringing your parents gave you when you were young. Although I don't want to do something that pleases my enemies and hurts my own, if you continue to speak so rudely, I don't recommend that you beheaded as a sacrifice. Otherwise, if the ancestors of the Five Elements Sect see their sect leader being bullied and humiliated, they might jump out of their coffins in anger. First, kill this unworthy descendant of mine, then smash your dog legs!"

"So brave!!"

Lei Qianjue was furious and about to turn hostile when suddenly a bolt of divine lightning from the Wood element exploded above his head. Then, five divine swords appeared around Li Weizhou, circling him. Finally, the five swords slowly merged into one in front of him, becoming a five-colored divine sword!
Upon seeing this, Tian Ru was even more astonished than the outsiders, exclaiming in disbelief, "The Five Elements Reincarnation Divine Sword!! Wei Zhou, you..."

Li Weizhou first smiled slightly at Tian Ru, then his expression turned cold as he looked at Lei Qianjue, unleashing an overwhelming pressure.

Lei Qianjue, who was already seriously injured, was no match for such a force. Su Wan's city-protecting formation was only a level four formation, yet it had already caused the Sin Clan a lot of trouble.

The Five Elements Grand Formation, as the number one grand formation of the Northern Spiritual Domain, is of the sixth rank and is even comparable to the protective formations of some major sects in the Central Plains. How could Lei Qianjue possibly withstand it?
With a "pfft," Lei Qianjue spat out a mouthful of thick blood, and his entire aura weakened.

"Wait a minute!"

"stop!"

"No!"

One voice after another tried to dissuade them, but they immediately felt the oppressive aura descend upon them.

The elders of the six sects looked at Li Weizhou in shock. What did he mean?
They even want to suppress them?

At such a young age, how can he be so domineering?
Li Weizhou ignored them and looked at Lei Qianjue, saying slowly, "I am young and impetuous, and I have not made any contributions. You insulted me for not being a person of the Spirit Realm and for not understanding reason, so I will not argue with you for now. However, you insulted my sect and even more so my master and mistress. If I let you go today, how can I have the face to sit in this position of the sect? Killing you today will also tell the world that the Five Elements Sect has not yet fallen to the point of being able to be humiliated by others."

Having said that, he lightly turned the magic seal, and the Five Elements Daoist charm on the Five Elements Revolving Divine Sword intensified, slashing down at Lei Qianjue.

"It cannot be used as a boat!!"

Tian Ru was deeply moved, but even if Su Wan hadn't rushed to tug at her sleeve, she couldn't bear to watch Li Weizhou kill Lei Qianjue.

Although this person is foul-mouthed and arrogant, his crime does not warrant death.

The Five Elements Revolving Divine Sword stopped at Lei Qianjue's brow. Li Weizhou turned to look at Tian Ru, puzzled, and asked, "Master's wife?"

Tian Ru breathed a sigh of relief and said, "A small punishment will suffice. The seven sects are of one mind. Since he was disrespectful today, I will send a letter to the sect leader of the Xuanlei Sword Sect, asking him to discipline him more. Now that we have a formidable enemy at hand, we must work together."

Li Weizhou nodded, and instead of thrusting his divine sword, he swung it horizontally, striking Lei Qianjue's face with a resounding "slap."

The divine sword was then retrieved.

"Amitabha!"

Master Wuyuan chanted a Buddhist prayer and praised Tian Ru, saying, "Elder Tian is indeed a heroine among women, and she and City Lord Su are both outstanding women who are no less than men. Her magnanimity is truly a blessing to the spirit world."

Ling Xuzi and the others also praised it.

Tian Ru shook her head and said, "What skills do I have? If I hadn't taken on such a good disciple, wouldn't I be being bullied like this today?"

Li Qinghong of the Seven Star Sect was a handsome middle-aged Taoist priest. He smiled and said, "Elder Tian is really overthinking things. Today was just a sudden change. Elder Lei was framed and in a moment of panic, he said some offensive things. There was absolutely no malice in it."

Zhao Qingyao of the Moon Evolution Sect looked at Li Weizhou and said, "No wonder Sect Master Tao was willing to pass on his position to you so early. It turns out that you not only possess innate spatial supernatural abilities, but also the Five Elements spiritual roots. The Five Elements Revolving Divine Sword left behind by the Five Sacred Mountains True Monarch has not appeared in the world for two thousand years, right? I never expected to see it today. In that case, I can rest assured. Sect Master Tao and Elder Tian have truly taken in a good disciple."

Tian Ru didn't want Li Weizhou to be praised too much, so she humbly said on his behalf, "Although he has some talent, his cultivation time is too short, less than a year at most, and his cultivation level is not yet at the Spirit Origin stage. It is only because he has gained the recognition of the Five Elements Revolving Divine Sword that he can control the great formation. Once he leaves the Five Elements Mountain, he is still just an ordinary Spirit Transformation stage disciple."

Being too sharp and assertive is never a good thing.

Some people's humanity shouldn't be overestimated. If you praise them too much, they might recommend Li Weizhou to lead the way in quelling the rebellion...

Su Wan chimed in, "Exceptionally talented, with a good heart, and knows how to care for her master and mistress."

Clearly, the female city lord, who was also known for her strong personality, greatly admired the toughness and skill that Li Weizhou had displayed earlier.

Lei Qianjue's face was as black as ink. He clutched his chest, still vomiting blood from earlier, and his throat still tasted metallic.

He gazed at the five-colored divine sword hanging behind Li Weizhou. The light flowing across the sword was not intense, but rather like five deep rivers, containing a power capable of swallowing people whole.

This is hardly a supernatural power that a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation stage can control.
This trip was fraught with misfortune; we encountered so many unclean things, it was truly unlucky.

But he only dared to curse in his heart...

"What a magnificent Five Elements Revolving Divine Sword..."

Ling Xuzi stared at the five-colored divine sword for a long time, then let out a long breath. The silver threads on his whisk hung down, no longer light and airy. He slowly said, "The Five Sacred Mountains True Lord used the divine sword to suppress the Demon Abyss and cut off the Demon Lord's head. Seeing it today, I know that the rumors are true."

His gaze toward Li Weizhou had become more solemn, and he said, "Sect Leader Li is so young, yet he was able to draw the divine sword to recognize him as its master. It must be more than just good fortune."

Master Wuyuan clasped his hands together, his chanting growing deeper, and said, “The sect leader possesses a heroic spirit that stands tall and upright, which is what the Buddha calls the ‘diamond heart.’ However, Elder Lei’s slip of the tongue today was not malicious. The sect leader is young and should also have a compassionate heart.”

Li Weizhou remained unmoved and said calmly, "Whether there was malice or not depends on the victim, not the perpetrator. Can the words 'no malice' resolve the harm caused? If I laughed, that's a joke. If I didn't laugh, then he's the villain. The compassion of a bystander should be for the victim, not for defending the perpetrator. Master, I believe Buddhism should uphold justice, not act as a mouthpiece based on one's stance. You also know that Lei Qianjue made a slip of the tongue. When he did, did you and everyone else advise him to be careful with his words?"

Tian Ru seemed to only realize the true nature of her disciple Li Weizhou today, and was momentarily stunned.

"Amitabha."

Master Wuyuan smiled wryly and said, "I am ashamed, I am ashamed. The sect leader is right, but with a formidable enemy at hand, we must prioritize defending ourselves. I will apologize to the sect leader after today's matter is settled. I believe that Benefactor Lei is not one to hesitate to do what he says, and he will surely be able to turn hostility into friendship."

"coming."

Li Weizhou suddenly said this.

At first, everyone was puzzled, but when they saw Li Weizhou gazing in the direction of the mountain gate, the people in the stone pavilion all stood up.

Then, the light screen of the Five Elements Array, which was originally as solid as jade, was now as if it had been stained with ink. Countless dark blue threads crawled up from outside the light screen, fine and dense, like spider webs. Wherever they passed, the light patterns on the light screen became dim and obscure at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Bone-corroding threads!"

Su Wan's voice turned colder as she said, "The methods of the Sinner Clan are so vile, it's disgusting!"

Li Weizhou didn't turn around, but simply raised his hand and made a light tap in the direction of Lin Hai.

Suddenly, waves of green rippled across the endless forest.

As if beholding an emperor, the myriad trees bowed in unison, and a surge of abundant wood-elemental spiritual energy flowed along the earth's veins into the array patterns.

The dark blue threads crawling on the light screen sizzled as if scalded by boiling water, curling up inch by inch and dissipating into black smoke.

Since the Corrosive Silk is the power of the dead, let it be countered by the power of life.

From the billowing black mist outside the formation came the voice of an old man, like a rusty saw cutting through wood, slowly saying, "I never thought I would witness the power of the Five Elements Revolving Formation again today. Very well, I will test this number one protective formation of the Northern Spiritual Domain today and see how much it still resembles the Five Mountains True Monarch of yesteryear."

"boom!"

The billowing black mist crashed violently into the Five Elements Array, causing the light barrier to shake violently.

This person's strength truly surprised even Li Weizhou.

Three thick streams of black energy, as thick as water buckets, surged forth like giant pythons, constantly crashing against the sect's protective formation.

The cyan-green light pattern instantly dented, but did not break.

Moreover, several tiny white flowers, as fine as grains of rice, even bloomed on the light patterns.

"what?"

There was a hint of surprise in the old man's voice.

The Five Elements Revolving Divine Sword behind Li Weizhou suddenly began to hum.

The five-colored divine light flowed rapidly, condensing into a pillar of light in front of him, shooting straight into the sky and actually piercing a hole in the black mist that blotted out the sky.

Li Weizhou's voice carried through the beam of light, sharp with youthful vigor, seemingly harder than metal and stone: "Since you wish to see how much of the Five Elements Sect's strength as a Five Mountains True Monarch still exists, how could I possibly disappoint you?"

The black energy surged even more rapidly, and countless roars of sinful beings came from within, like a stampede of thousands of horses.

The brilliance of the Five Elements Revolving Divine Sword grew even more intense.

Countless black wisps of energy vanished instantly upon encountering the radiance, like snow and frost meeting the blazing sun.

"So brave!!"

The old ghost in the black mist seemed to be completely enraged. After a hoarse roar, it took out a huge bone hammer about ten feet long, the type of bone unknown, and hurled it fiercely at the array light screen.

"Boom!"

The entire protective array of the Five Elements Sect shook violently, as if a giant hammer taller than a mountain had slammed down on it.

Inside the mountain gate, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Because the array's light barrier looked like it was about to collapse.

Li Weizhou's expression was solemn. After taking a deep breath, he said to Tian Ru, "Master's wife, please rest assured. Unless a Celestial Spirit Realm expert arrives in person, he will not be able to break the great formation today. However, I need to go to the Five Elements Hall to control the formation. Please wait here for a while, Master's wife."

Tian Ru nodded and said, "Your master's wife believes in you, go ahead."

Lei Qianjue couldn't help but ask, "Now that the Five Elements Reincarnation Divine Sword has been unearthed, surely it can kill a Spirit God Realm cultivator without any problem?"

Li Weizhou glanced at him, ignored him, and left on his own.

Lei Qianjue: "..."

Zhao Qingyao of the Moon Evolution Sect laughed and said, "Elder Lei, how can you let Lingdong slay a spirit god? The Five Elements Grand Formation is indeed amazing, but you also have to consider Sect Leader Li's own cultivation level. With your temperament, no wonder people call you foul-mouthed."

Her voice was as melodious as moonlight, and although she spoke directly, Lei Qianjue dared not say anything.

This woman's backer is no ordinary person.

No one was in the mood for jokes or laughter. They watched helplessly as black mist billowed outside the mountain gate, unaware of how many members of the criminal clan were frantically attacking the sect's protective formation.

However, their anxiety didn't last long. Suddenly, a five-colored light rose from the direction of Hunyuan Peak.

Then, everyone saw a black gold ancient sword burst from the ground atop Xuanjin Peak, soaring into the sky and condensing into a black gold pillar of light that stretched across the heavens and earth, its sharp edge piercing through the clouds.

In the ancient forest of Qingmu Peak, the Azure Sword rose from the oldest tree, its emerald light illuminating the entire forest. The spiritual mist rising from the sword blended with the peaks, transforming into a emerald pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

At the bottom of the deep pool of Cangshui Peak, a water sword burst forth, stirring up towering waves. A beam of azure light shot into the sky, and amidst the swirling water vapor, the phantom of a dragon seemed to linger. At the crater of Lihuo Peak, a red sword leaped from the core of the lava, its entire body burning with inextinguishable earth fire. Its sword cry was like the roar of erupting magma, and a crimson beam of light, carrying rolling heat waves, pierced straight into the sky, scorching and distorting the clouds in mid-air.

The Yellow Sword of Houtu Peak rose from the depths of the fertile soil. The soil on the sword instantly turned into golden runes. When it hung on the peak, a thick, earth-yellow pillar of light rose from the ground, standing firmly between heaven and earth like a pillar supporting the sky.

Above the five peaks, five swords hang in the air, and five enormous pillars of light of different colors converge in the sky, forming a huge Five Elements Wheel that covers the entire territory of the sect.

The disciples of the other six sects were completely stunned, and even the six elders looked up in disbelief at this extraordinary sight.

All the previous disdain and neglect towards the Five Elements Sect had vanished at this moment.

Outside the swirling black mist, the first to collide with the Five Elements Wheel of Light were a group of shirtless sinners.

They were no different from ordinary monks, except that they had broad shoulders and thick backs, with muscles that were as bulging as the roots of an old tree, and their exposed skin was covered with dark red lines.

When they were clinging to the light barrier, they didn't spit out bone-corroding threads. Instead, they tore at the light patterns with their iron claws. Their knuckles were worn white, and they managed to carve out several shallow marks on the thick earth.

But when the five-colored beams of light from the Five Elements Wheel came crashing down, the men's expressions changed drastically.

The first member of the sinner clan suddenly bent over, his arm muscles bulging, and charged straight at the golden beam of light.

He cultivated the "Mountain-Splitting Body," making his physical strength comparable to black iron, impervious to the swords of ordinary Spirit Origin Realm cultivators. However, when the golden beam of light swept across his shoulder, his flesh, comparable to black iron, cracked as if made of paper, and blood splattered onto the beam of light, making a "sizzling" sound, instantly evaporating into a blood mist.

"what!"

He roared and charged forward instead of retreating, trying to force his way through the pillar of light. But then countless emerald green threads of light shot out from the wooden pillar, piercing his wounds like fine needles. The threads traveled along his blood vessels, and wherever they passed, his bulging muscles visibly atrophied, and his dark red body cultivation marks gradually faded. Finally, he collapsed to the ground like a deflated sack, lifeless.

"waste!"

Qing Sha's voice boomed. He had shed his scholar's disguise; his blue cloth shirt was torn, revealing a scarred chest and a deep, old wound on his right shoulder, where he had been injured by Lei Qianjue's lightning years ago, which now throbbed faintly under the pillar of light. He didn't use any evil magic; he simply took a step forward, the bluestone slab beneath his feet shattering with a "crack," and shot forward like an arrow. His right fist clenched, a faint black aura swirling around it—the "Blood Fiend Force," unique to the body cultivators of the Sin Clan, fueled by their own blood essence, domineering and unparalleled.

"Oh!"

The fist slammed into the earth element pillar of light, causing it to tremble violently and ripples to spread across its surface. Qing Sha grunted, his knuckles throbbing with pain, but his eyes grew even fiercer. His left fist followed immediately, and he continued to strike with alternating blows, each punch accompanied by a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air. Unfortunately, the light patterns on the earth element pillar didn't even ripple.

"Impressive, impressive, that's interesting."

The old man from the Sin Clan stood at the back. His body, hidden beneath his gray robe, appeared hunched over, but on his bare wrists, veins coiled like small snakes—marks left from years of body tempering.

He understood the intricacies of formations better than Qing Sha, and he could see the power of the Five Elements Wheel at a glance. The metal element broke the body, the wood element corroded the power, the earth element suppressed the body, the water element entangled the force, and the fire element burned the blood. The five pillars of light were interlocked, making it the nemesis of the Sin Clan.

He suddenly grabbed the bone hammer, which was about ten feet long, from the ground. The bone hammer was not an evil object; it was forged from the leg bone of an ancient ferocious beast and was extremely heavy, so heavy that even ordinary cultivators at the Spirit Origin Realm could not lift it. But the old ghost carried it with one hand, dragging the bone hammer on the ground and carving deep grooves in the bluestone slab. With each step he took, the ground trembled slightly.

"Come again!"

Old Ghost roared, swinging his bone hammer with a whistling wind, forcefully deflecting the oncoming water-elemental beam of light. The water vapor within the beam instantly condensed into ice, but was shattered by the bloodthirsty energy on the bone hammer. Amidst the flying ice shards, Old Ghost closed in on the light barrier, sweeping the bone hammer across again, slamming it down hard!
"Boom!"

Cracks appeared on the light screen. Inside the Five Elements Hall, Li Weizhou frowned, and the Five Elements Revolving Divine Sword spun even faster. Five-colored divine light poured into the array eye, and the cracks slowly healed.

But the criminals outside the formation were already in a bloodthirsty frenzy.

Although the lower-ranking criminals feared the pillar of light, they were fearless and fought with all their might. Some rammed it with their heads, some struck it with their elbows, and some even threw themselves onto the light barrier, using their bodies as shields so that their companions behind them could tear the light patterns apart.

Their bodies rotted and burned under the beam of light, yet none of them retreated. They roared indistinct syllables, the battle cry of the Sin Clan, filled with a ruthless determination to fight to the death.

Qing Sha's fists were stained with blood. He had unleashed his Blood Fiend Force to its fullest extent, and his chest heaved violently, yet he continued his relentless barrage.

"Coward! Come out and fight if you dare!"

He roared, his whole being descending into violent madness.

The old man from the Sin Clan gradually calmed down. He could clearly see that the light pillars of the Five Elements Wheel, though seemingly scattered, were actually connected end to end. Whenever they broke through one point, the other four colored light pillars would immediately fill the gap, like an impenetrable net. Although his bone hammer was heavy and made the light screen tremble, it could never completely tear it apart.

The most ruthless aspect of this formation is not its power, but its relentless rotation, which perfectly counters the Sin Clan's strategy of "overpowering all others with sheer force."

Moreover, they have only ever defended and never attacked...

During the time of the Five Sacred Mountains True Lords, the Five Elements Revolving Array wasn't so easy to deal with...

"withdraw!"

The old man suddenly shouted, and Qing Sha was stunned. He wanted to charge again, but the old ghost grabbed him by the back of his collar: "Save his life, we'll break his bones next time!"

The surviving criminals, as if granted a pardon, dragged their broken bodies and retreated towards Black Wind Pass.

They left in a sorry state; some had broken arms, some were lame, and some had half their bodies charred black by the beam of light. Yet no one turned back to beg for mercy, leaving only bloodstains and broken bone fragments on the ground—marks of their failed cultivation.

But it doesn't matter, as long as they devour enough cultivators, they can recover.

On Greenwood Peak within the formation, one could still hear the muffled roars of the Sin Clan as they departed; there was no fear in those voices, only resentment.

The pillar of light from the Five Elements Wheel still hangs in the sky. As the light patterns flow, it washes away the bloodstains outside the mountain gate, leaving only deep marks on the bluestone slab, silently telling the story of the fierce collision between the flesh and the formation.

As Lei Qianjue gazed at the smash marks, he suddenly recalled what was written in the Xuanlei Sword Sect's physical cultivation manual: "The courage of a physical cultivator lies in daring to shake heaven and earth with flesh and blood."

The sinful race mostly follow a path similar to that of body cultivators, only they are far more evil.

Inside the stone pavilion, Tian Ru gazed in the direction where the Sin Clan had disappeared and breathed a sigh of relief.

These criminals who can physically withstand a sixth-grade formation are likely to be even more difficult to deal with than evil spirits if they come in groups.

The wind swept across the spirit fields, rustling the rice leaves as if echoing the slowing rotation of the Five Elements Wheel. The stench of blood lingered outside the battleground, but everyone understood that the battle was likely only temporarily over.

The danger will not be easily eliminated until reinforcements arrive.

The setting sun, like blood, spilled onto the Five Elements Sect's mountain gate, turning the already dimmed light curtain a reddish hue.

The pillar of light atop the five peaks had faded, and the lingering warmth of the five-colored divine light seemed to remain in the world, but it was quickly swept away by the evening breeze of Qingmu Peak, leaving only a desolate feeling.

When Li Weizhou appeared at the end of the stone steps, he looked like a seedling withered by a storm.

He walked extremely slowly, each step feeling like he was stepping on cotton. His moon-white Taoist robe was covered in dust, and the sweat stains on his back were somewhat glaring in the twilight.

The once crisp cuffs were now drooping, revealing thin wrists with slightly protruding veins, like a string that had exhausted its strength.

When he was still about ten feet away from the stone pavilion, he suddenly staggered and slammed his left hand against the trunk of an old pine tree next to him. The bark was rough, and it rubbed his fingertips until they turned white, but he didn't let go. He just kept his head down, breathing heavily, his shoulders heaving like ears of rice in the wind.

"To be a boat!"

Tian Ru's voice trembled as she quickly went to meet him. The moment her fingertips touched his arm, she felt a chill. It was the coldness from his clothes, soaked with cold sweat, seeping through his Taoist robe and making her heart clench.

Li Weizhou slowly raised his head, his face as white as rice paper, but his lips were an unnatural bluish-purple.

He tried to smile at Tian Ru, but before he could even open his mouth, he suddenly coughed so hard that he bent over. His right hand instinctively went to his chest, and a glaring red oozes out between his fingers.

This is also why he doesn't allow his wives to appear in public.

He felt a little awkward around people he knew very well...

"You kid..."

Tian Ru was truly moved and quickly helped him up.

Su Wan also came over, took out a small celadon bottle from her sleeve, poured out three round pills, and said, "Take these quickly. These are 'Condensing Essence Pills,' which can strengthen the body's foundation and nourish the vital energy."

The disciples from the six sects around them twitched at the corners of their mouths. That was a precious medicine for strengthening the foundation and nourishing the vital energy of the Spirit Origin Realm. Each pill was worth a hundred high-grade spirit stones, making it extremely valuable.

The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and a gentle surge of spiritual energy slid down his throat, allowing Li Weizhou's breathing to calm down slightly. He straightened up again, gazing at the people in the stone pavilion, his eyes somewhat unfocused, yet he still recognized Lei Qianjue.

"Elder Lei..."

His voice was hoarse, as if it had been sanded, as he slowly asked, "Am I worthy of being the leader of the Five Elements Sect?"

Lei Qianjue abruptly looked away. Although he felt ashamed, indignant, and resentful, he still had to put on a righteous and upright appearance in front of others and said, "I deserve it."

Li Weizhou smiled and said nothing more.

The way people looked at him changed again...

What a young sect leader who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment!

The stone pavilion was so quiet that you could hear the wind rustling through the pine needles.

As dusk deepened, the rice stalks on the spiritual fields of Qingmu Peak swayed gently in the evening breeze, making soft rustling sounds.

No one in the stone pavilion spoke again. Looking at the pale-faced, weak-breathing young sect leader, they suddenly felt that the Five Elements Sect's mountain gate was even more solid than when the five-colored pillar of light had shot into the sky.

The stench of blood in the wind gradually faded, replaced by the delicate fragrance of spirit rice, mingled with the aroma of freshly brewed tea from Tian Ru, spreading in the twilight.

"Master."

Hou Haikun, along with Liu Zhe, Wang Kui, and other outer sect deacons and disciples, stepped forward to report.

It is said that the many independent cultivators have been properly settled.

Li Weizhou nodded and said, "In times of crisis, we should stand together and overcome difficulties. Also, have Aunt Lan fetch some spirit rice to sell to them. Don't sell it too expensively or too cheaply. They can stay for free for the first three days, and after that, they can be charged spirit stones daily. It's not that the Five Elements Sect is short of spirit stones, but in the cultivation world, it's better to rely on yourself than to ask others for help. Also, tell them to behave themselves and not wander around, lest they be treated as criminals and die under the great formation. Please invite these fellow cultivators from the six sects to rest."

"Yes, I will obey the sect leader's decree."

After the others left, Su Wan asked, "There are quite a few of us, and we'll need to pay for food and supplies. How much will the sect leader charge us?"

Li Weizhou chuckled and said, "The seven sects are of one mind. Giving more or less is just a token of our appreciation. City Lord Su, just give what you think is appropriate."

"Hahaha!"

Su Wan laughed heartily for a while, then looked at Tian Ru and said, "Now I believe it too. Your disciple will definitely be able to restore the Five Elements Sect to its former glory!"

Tian Ru laughed, but Li Weizhou's gaze finally fell on a bald, fat man, and he chuckled, "Fatty, long time no see, you've grown quite a bit."

Countless gazes turned towards him. Qi Zhenkun shook his head with a wry smile and said, "In the lower realm, the sect leader was already a dragon among men. At the tender age of sixteen, he massacred the Demonic Sect's headquarters, killed the Demonic Sect's leader, slew the treacherous false emperor, and restored order to the nation. He was honored with the hereditary title of Duke of Zhenguo. I never expected that in the Spirit Realm, he would still be so outstanding. To be born in the same era as the sect leader, I don't know whether to be happy or sad."

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the six sects, especially the few beautiful female disciples, looked at Li Weizhou with gazes more turbulent than the waters of Cangshui Peak…

Even Zhao Qingyao, an elder of the Lianyueyan Sect, was like this.

Li Weizhou was secretly surprised; after all, he was an elder of the Moon Evolution Sect...

Hmm, the Moon Gate, the half-closed gate, it does look a bit like it.
