Peerless Tang Sect: Snow Empress Adopts and Intercepts Jiang Nannan

Chapter 114 The Hermit Has a Clever Plan: The Surprise of the Poison Not Killing Him

"well"

"Sect Master, why are you sighing like that?"

Du Bu Si arrived at Ye Xuan Xin's residence.

He didn't look well.

"That's exactly what I was going to tell you."

"You want to push forward the proposal between the Body Sect and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, but the elders in the sect have differing opinions, and they even started arguing in front of me during the meeting."

"Now it seems that although my Body Sect has a great reputation and appears to be extremely powerful."

"But the people within the sect are not united."

"The infiltration of the Heavenly Soul Empire into my Body Sect is truly shocking, far deeper than I imagined."

"If this continues, the Body Sect might become the Body Sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire."

"Poison Doesn't Die" said, feeling somewhat stifled.

"My Body Sect has always upheld the concept that the Body and Martial Soul are one family since its founding, and the treatment of its disciples is excellent regardless of cost."

"Those elders who reached the Title Douluo level all received the most intensive training from the Body Sect. Their spirit rings and spirit bones were basically obtained by the sect elders taking them along."

"But when it comes to a plan that clearly benefits the Body Sect, such as cooperating with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to introduce soul tool technology into the Body Sect."

"It's surprising that they would strongly oppose it."

"They're all still considering things from the perspective of the Heavenly Soul Empire."

"I truly feel ashamed of the sect's years of nurturing them!"

"These ungrateful wretches, do they really think the Heavenly Soul Empire would go to such lengths to lure them with money, women, and power?"

"It's because of the strength they've cultivated through their sects!!!"

"Without the Body Sect, where would their wonderful lives be today?"

"Sect Master, take it easy. People are driven by self-interest and don't care about gratitude or favors."

"This is only human nature."

Ye Xuanxin said calmly.

"Heh. You're right, kid."

"The human heart... I'm truly too naive."

"If I had known it would turn out this way, I should have taken precautions sooner. It's too late to say it now."

"Kid, your suggestion is good, but even if it's approved in the end, it will be difficult to implement. Those people will collude with the Heavenly Soul Empire behind them to cause trouble."

Poison Undying's face grew increasingly pale.

Even if his cultivation level far surpasses that of these elders, he can't force them to agree based on his cultivation level, can he?

He may be ruthless to outsiders, but he really can't bring himself to do it to his own people.

"That's not necessarily true."

"Sect Master, in the end, this matter still boils down to being driven by self-interest."

"You have to imagine who ultimately benefits from this collaboration?"

"Who? Isn't it my Body Sect?"

"No, not everyone in the Body Sect benefits; the disciples below are the biggest beneficiaries!"

"Their strength has increased, and they are even able to delve deeper into the field of soul tools. As far as they are concerned, the benefits they have gained are considerable."

"Why doesn't the sect leader unite with his disciples to promote this cooperation?"

"They definitely gave their full support."

"And those elders you mentioned who stand on the side of the Heavenly Soul Empire are not in the Body Sect for many years, and they don't even have the opportunity to speak up for themselves."

"You are the sect leader of the Body Sect, and you are very powerful. With your support and cooperation, it's like having a lid on our hands."

"There are many disciples below. If they learn that some elders oppose the cooperation, they will surely be enraged, which would be like a raging fire."

"With a lid on top and raging fire below, aren't these dissenting elders just being boiled in the middle?"

Ye Xuanxin smiled.

It involves mobilizing the grassroots, using traditional skills.

Poison Undying's eyes lit up.

"Yeah, you've got some skills!"

"I didn't expect them to have such a talent for manipulating people's minds?"

"But then again, how can this be done to achieve our goal?"

"What need is there for manipulation?"

"Just have someone spread the word among the disciples."

"Just say that you, Sect Master, want to cooperate with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to create a set of soul tools for all the disciples in the sect."

"But the elders who were aligned with the Heavenly Soul Empire objected."

"No, let's broaden the scope! Say that these elders oppose all soul tools entering the Body Sect, and oppose anyone in the Body Sect using soul tools!"

"During this period, many disciples in the sect have come to me to order custom soul tools. I'm taking this opportunity to announce that due to the opposition of the sect elders, I will no longer be making soul tools for them!"

"Do you think the disciples below are in an uproar?"

"Shouldn't we go and protest to the elders?"

"These elders are away from home all year round and have no real power in the sect. Their only redeeming quality is their strength. But with you watching over them, we are not afraid that these disciples will cause any trouble when they protest."

"We can hold another meeting to discuss it later. You can forcefully suppress the elders' objections by claiming that this is the wish of most disciples in the sect."

"But what if these elders directly betray the Body Sect?"

"Poison Doesn't Die" asked again.

"How could they possibly betray us? They're just blinded by greed, they're not stupid."

"Do you think it's better to be treated as a Title Douluo who has completely offended the Body Sect and you in the Heavenly Soul Empire, or as a legitimate Title Douluo from the Body Sect?"

"Don't worry, these people are shrewd. Although they might try to trip us up in secret, they will never leave the Body Sect."

"Of course, you can also make some grand promises, for example, you can ask the ninth-level soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire to design and manufacture soul tools for these titled Douluo in the sect."

"Although it seems unlikely at the moment, anything is possible if the cooperation deepens in the future, isn't it?"

"These elders are well aware that strength is the foundation of all power and pleasure."

"If possible, they will do everything they can to improve their strength."

Poison Undying was initially just somewhat surprised by Ye Xuanxin's ability to see through people's hearts.

But now, after the other party proposed a series of measures, they were stunned.

"Xuanxin, I truly believe this position of sect leader should be given to you."

"Your methods are truly astounding."

Ye Xuanxin rolled her eyes.

What kind of tactic is this? Isn't it just basic stuff?

Oh, I almost forgot.

This is a wondrous world where even raiding a grain route can be considered a brilliant plan.

He silently made a comment about a certain emperor, empress, and military genius.

"Sect Master, you flatter me."

"After this incident, you must learn from it and never allow the Heavenly Soul Empire's tentacles to extend into the Body Sect again."

"When drastic measures are needed, drastic measures should be used."

"Perhaps we can use some leverage to kill one or two elders who are too closely associated with the Heavenly Soul Empire, as a warning to others."

"Those in positions of power must never be soft-hearted or lenient."

Ye Xuanxin added again.

"Poison won't kill me," he waved his hand dismissively.

He looked ashamed.

"Your words are more valuable than ten years of study."

"I previously said that I wanted to hand over the position of young sect leader to you, but I still have some doubts."

"But now, I am certain that you can lead the Body Sect to even greater heights."

"I will do as you say."

"Thank you for your guidance, old man."

Poison won't kill me, I'll just bow.

Ye Xuanxin dodged to the side.

That's how the two of them ended the conversation.

Ye Xuanxin no longer needed to worry about the operational aspects.

He doesn't have the time for that.

"Hehe, let's not talk about those troublesome things."

"Just leave it to me."

"Actually, the reason I came here today is to ask you, have you almost finished reading 'The Secret of the Body'?"

"Have you ever considered trying a second awakening of your original martial soul?"

"Practicing this method requires the help of elders. Without an experienced person to guide you, it is easy to go wrong. It would be terrible if you damaged your foundation or even lost your life. I am here to lend you a helping hand."

"You've got a good foundation, kid. I think your first awakening should at least give you a Bronze-level skill."

"No need, Sect Master, I have already completed my awakening."

Ye Xuanxin said calmly.

"What?!"

"You've already awakened?"

"So fast?"

"How did you awaken?"

"What level? Bronze or Silver?"

Poison Undying paused, then exclaimed in utter astonishment.

"How I awakened is a little secret of mine, and it's not convenient for me to tell you."

"Shouldn't this be considered Silver Awakening?"

"Should it be? But a bronze color with a touch of silver?"

"That's true. With your talent, reaching this level without guidance is already quite remarkable."

Poison couldn't kill him, and he paused again.

The next second, his eyes widened.

They watched helplessly as Ye Xuanxin's eyes shone with a brilliant purple light, and a silvery-white light with a faint golden hue shone behind her.

"This is."

"Is it close to achieving Gold Awakening?"

"Kid!"

"Is this really your first awakening?"

"How is this possible?"

"Even my first awakening only brought me close to the Silver level!"

"How did you do that?"

Ye Xuanxin scratched his head.

I have some doubts.

"How did you do that? Isn't that exactly how you did it?"

"Does it require some special technique?"

"You didn't use a lot of external pressure to force your awakening from the start, did you?"

"Otherwise what? Isn't the principle behind the second awakening of the main body's martial soul simply using external force to force a deep fusion of soul power, spiritual power, and martial soul?"

"hehe!"

"You're lucky, kid!"

"They actually dared to awaken on their own without any guidance."

"Did you know that the advancement of one's original martial soul awakening level is a gradual process, step by step?"

"Who would awaken to such a high level right from the start? Their body would be the first to give out; their soul power, mental power, and martial soul would all collapse together!"

"This could really kill people!"

"is that so?"

Ye Xuanxin was somewhat taken aback.

How come he didn't sense any danger at all during the awakening process?

"Hey! You little rascal, you don't know how lucky you are."

The poison didn't kill him; he grinned and grimaced.

I was filled with lingering fear.

I should have told this kid not to try it on his own.

If this kid were to perish, it would be a tremendous loss for his Body Sect.

It's only because this kid was lucky that nothing bad happened, and he even managed to awaken to a level close to the gold level.

"Let me tell you, you must never be so reckless again. This is a gradual process!"

"Being greedy for quick success and acting rashly will only lead to great losses for you."

"Sect Master, I understand."

Although Ye Xuanxin didn't think it was a big deal, he figured that if something happened, the silver dragon's reverse scale on his chest could protect his body.

However, since they meant well, it was inappropriate to say anything inappropriate to their face.

"Now that it's awakened, it must have already tested its effects, right?"

"how?"

"Is my Body Sect's secret technique really that powerful?"

"It truly lives up to its reputation. It's hard to imagine just how brilliant and talented the predecessor who created this secret technique must have been."

"Hehe. This is the culmination of a lifetime of research by the predecessors of my Body Sect."

A smug look appeared on Du Busi's face.

But then Ye Xuanxin spoke again.

"I have read the sect leader's book, 'The Secret of the Body,' several times."

"After reading it, I only have one thought."

"The various cultivation and strengthening methods for the original martial soul described therein, including the second awakening of the original martial soul, all point directly to the origin of the human body."

"It aims to cultivate oneself, but its purpose is a level higher than the current cultivation concepts in the Soul Master world."

"Xuanxin, the fact that you can see this means you've completely understood my book."

"That's right, our Body Sect doesn't believe in anything else, we only believe in ourselves."

"This was one of the reasons why I was initially resistant to soul tools."

"But now I realize that sometimes borrowing external things is not a big deal, as long as you can maintain your original intention and not give up on your self-cultivation because of it."

Ye Xuanxin nodded in agreement.

"Sect Master, have you ever thought about this?"

What kind of effect would the cultivation method of the original martial soul have if applied to other people?

"It doesn't make sense that we're all human, and only those with a special martial soul can use those cultivation methods, since they're all just human beings."

"Are you suggesting that everyone on the entire continent should practice my Body Sect's cultivation methods?"

"It's not that my Body Sect is too selfish and doesn't want those things to get out."

"But how difficult is it to achieve this? The original spirit has its own special characteristics. The intensity of cultivation they can withstand is far greater than that of ordinary spirit masters."

"Outsiders can also practice the cultivation methods of the Body Sect, but because the intensity is too high, it is easy to ruin oneself. If the intensity is reduced, the effect will not be as good."

"Those people outside will naturally choose other easier and more suitable cultivation paths."

"What? You're interested, kid?"

"I advise you not to waste your energy."

"Even if we do manage to research something, the results might not be very good."

"Young people should focus on building a solid foundation and avoid having unrealistic ideas."

"I understand, Sect Master."

"Go out more often when you have time."

"Get to know the disciples in the sect better. From now on, the Body Sect will be your home too."

"We can't be unfamiliar with our family, can we?"

"Okay, sure."

Poison Undying patted Ye Xuanxin on the shoulder.

He got up and left.

Ye Xuanxin watched his tall figure disappear into the distance.

His eyes flickered.

This senior's advice is quite practical.

He is indeed thinking too much right now, but his cultivation level is too low, so many things are impossible for him to achieve.

The research on the cultivation method of the main body can be put on hold for now; let's focus on improving our cultivation and strength.
