Divine fortune teller and traditional Chinese medicine doctor

Seven days later, Feng Yue, the sect leader of Xuandao Sect, had basically recovered. However, to everyone's regret and sadness, he had almost no cultivation left due to his failure to break through the bottleneck, and even his dantian had cracked.

The once powerful sect leader might not even be able to defeat a disciple from the outer court of the sect now.

It may take a long time to recover to peak strength, and perhaps he will never be able to recover to peak strength in this lifetime.

Second Elder Mo Wenhong recounted everything that happened during the sect leader's seclusion, especially the incident of the Wan Hai Sect invading the sect and Li Mu's sudden emergence and ability to turn the tide.

Upon hearing this, Feng Yue was deeply moved, exclaiming that Heaven had shown mercy and spared the Xuandao Sect from destruction. He also expressed great admiration and respect for Li Mu.

Upon learning that Li Mu had also become a core member of the Sect God Palace, Feng Yue was so excited and gratified that tears streamed down his face.

He had thought that his cultivation level had dropped significantly and that his sect might be leaderless in the future, but now that Li Mu had suddenly appeared, he felt very gratified.

And so, a very natural idea sprouted in his mind.

On this day, he summoned the Second Elder Mo Wenhong and the Third Elder Peng Jianshen to his bedchamber.

Mo Wenhong and Peng Jianshen were his personal disciples, as was the Grand Elder Ling Daozi, but unfortunately his eldest disciple had already passed away.

Feng Yue's most trusted people right now are Mo Wenhong and Peng Jianshen.

"Wenhong, Jianshen, your master has called you here to discuss something very important with you two."

Feng Yue looked at his two disciples and said.

Mo Wenhong and Peng Jianshen exchanged a glance, seemingly already guessing what their master wanted to discuss.

"Master, if I'm not mistaken, you're looking for a successor, aren't you?"

Mo Wenhong asked.

"You all know your master best! Yes, nowadays, my cultivation has greatly declined, my strength is less than one percent of its peak. How can I sit in the position of sect leader like this? The Xuandao Sect has always revered strength. To become sect leader, one must possess unparalleled strength within the sect. Only in this way can one command respect and maintain stability. Currently, our Xuandao Sect has just experienced a great calamity, and our vitality is severely damaged. Although we have successfully avenged ourselves against the Wanhai Sect, we must also be wary of other sects taking advantage of our weakness!"

Feng Yue spoke very solemnly.

"Yes, Master, you are right. The Xuandao Sect is in a period of recovery and can no longer withstand any more hardships. What we need most now is a strong person who can win over the people and stabilize their hearts to take charge of the overall situation. Master, you have been the sect leader of the Xuandao Sect for so many years. Although your strength has declined, your prestige is still there. I think it might be a bit too hasty to find a successor at this time?"

Peng Jianshen said.

"This matter cannot be delayed! Prestige is useful within the sect, but it is meaningless to other cultivation forces. Other cultivation forces only care about strength."

"Master, the forces outside don't know that your strength has greatly decreased," Mo Wenhong said.

"How long can this be concealed? It's not a long-term solution. Besides, I know my current situation well. It's impossible for me to recover to my peak strength in the short term, and I may never be able to recover to my peak state in this lifetime. I won't beat around the bush. Right now, within the sect, in terms of strength, prestige, and status, Fifth Elder Li Mu is the best successor to the sect leader."

Feng Yue said directly.

"This... Master, the Fifth Elder is indeed incredibly strong, and he just joined the core members of the Sect God Hall. But he's only been in the sect for a few years. To directly appoint him as the sect leader... I'm afraid..."

"I know Second Senior Brother's concerns, and I share them. We don't know Li Mu well enough. Really, while he has indeed made great contributions to the sect, even saving it from danger, he's only been in the sect for a short time. Can we truly trust him? Although our Xuandao Sect has never practiced hereditary succession, and the capable rise to power, and the strong are respected, and since the vast majority of sect leaders throughout history have been of different surnames, one thing has never changed: each sect leader has a very close relationship with their predecessor, and they know each other extremely well. For example, Master, you were the former sect leader's personal disciple, and the former sect leader was also his beloved disciple. But Li Mu is neither your disciple nor any relative; he's a complete outsider! Master, you must think this through carefully. As the ancients said, 'Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.' We must be wary!"

Peng Jianshen said very seriously.

"Well, your concerns are not without merit. Of course, I, as your teacher, cannot help but worry about what you are concerned about. However, the current situation is special, and although Li Mu has only been in the sect for a short time, his actions are still trustworthy. Furthermore… I've recently noticed that Jiang'er seems to be getting quite close to Li Mu; I've never seen her so close to any other man before. What do you think, if…?"

"What if we let the young sect leader marry Li Mu? Wow! That's a great idea!"

Mo Wenhong immediately interrupted his master, slapped his thigh, and said.

"Yes! If we can make Li Mu Master's son-in-law, then he will be the perfect successor to the sect leader! Not only will it be legitimate, but everyone will be happy! Master, you've thought this through so well! Hahaha!" Peng Jianshen quickly added with a smile.

"However, it's still unclear whether Li Mu has feelings for Jiang'er."

Feng Yue said.

"Master, as long as the young sect leader is truly interested in Li Mu, I can handle things on Li Mu's side. I believe that with the young sect leader's talent, appearance, and status, Li Mu has no reason to refuse," Mo Wenhong said.

"Alright, Wen Hong, then go and talk to Li Mu. But don't tell him about inheriting the position of sect leader yet, just talk about his marriage to Jiang'er."

Feng Yue immediately gave instructions to Mo Wenhong.

"Yes, Master, I will do my best to accomplish this!"

Mo Wenhong gladly accepted the order.

"Jian Shen, your task is to continue conducting a comprehensive and in-depth investigation of Li Mu, and report all the information you find back to your master. Your master needs to fully understand this person in the shortest possible time."

"Your disciple obeys!"

Peng Jianshen respectfully accepted the order.

……

Today the sky is clear and the breeze is gentle, the sun shines brightly and the sky is blue.

Li Mu took Hua Yiduo and left the Xuandao Realm, teleporting directly towards the Wanyun Sect.

More than two years have passed since Li Mu last left Wanyun Sect.

For the past two years, Hua Wanyun had actually been waiting for Li Mu, the "father" who had suddenly barged into her world.

She had already made up her mind to let Li Mu help her regain her memories, after all, it was a big deal about her background.

But Li Mu disappeared without a trace after leaving, and she had no way to contact him.

Who would have thought that today, Li Mu not only came, but also brought her beloved daughter, Hua Yiduo, back with her!

Hua Wanyun was overjoyed and personally went out of the sect to greet him.

"mother!"

"Dor!"

Hua Yiduo hadn't seen her mother for a long time, so she rushed into her mother's arms and hugged her tightly, weeping.

Seeing this scene, Li Mu was also very gratified, and his eyes couldn't help but get a little moist.
