Chapter 44 Everyone has their own thoughts

Seeing that Chai Xin showed his joy so easily, Zheng Keyong couldn't help but look down on him, thinking that he might be just a casual cultivator who had really gotten lucky.

However, to be able to become the elder of the Lihuo Sect who is responsible for handling external affairs, he must be quite shrewd and would not be so arrogant at first and respectful later.

"My dear Chai, you must have been exhausted on the journey. I will not bother you any more. I will send some disciples to serve you later. After the elders' regular meeting in a few days, I will introduce you to our sect's headmaster and other elders."

He bowed to Chai Xin, then rode away on a rainbow.

Looking at his departing back, Chai Xin seemed to be thinking about something, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"This Zheng Keyong, although he tried his best to restrain himself, still unconsciously revealed his interest in my throne... It's good this way. If he dares to have bad intentions, then don't blame me for being unkind."

The original novel describes the Lihuo Sect in detail, but it is not a decent sect at all. On the contrary, it secretly raises bandits and instructs them to burn, kill, loot and harm the people.

In fact, it's not just the Lihuo Sect. There are also three other sects within a thousand miles radius: the Luoxia Sect, the Qixing Pavilion, and the Xuanyue Cave. They all seem to be famous and upright, but in fact they are committing murders and arson.

The high-ranking officials of these sects may have intended to use the bandits to collect energy and cultivate, but how could those bandits be so honest? They would kill and burn people at will, and even rape and rob people, committing all kinds of evil!

Compared to the chaotic and disordered Northern Territory, the Southern Territory, which at least still has some national laws, can be considered a peaceful and prosperous era.

Chai Xin walked into the inner room, checked carefully, and after making sure there was nothing under surveillance, he began to practice in seclusion.

He still had eleven Yuanshen Pills and a large amount of divine springs on him, which were enough for him to cultivate to the secret realm of Dao Palace.

However, after the Dao Palace, there is no follow-up practice, and this problem needs to be solved urgently.

"The Yao Chi Ruins have the original version of the Western Emperor Scripture, but it is now the area of ​​the Taichu Ancient Mine, which is too dangerous. Perhaps, we should go look for Zi Ling. Maybe he has already deceived the heart of a female disciple of Yao Chi..."

In fact, Chai Xin does not insist on practicing the so-called "strongest technique" in every secret realm, but at least it has to be an imperial scripture, otherwise he always feels that he is mistreating himself and it is not perfect enough.

Moreover, it seems that the "Western Emperor Sutra" still has a little bit of hope, but the other imperial scriptures are completely hopeless.

"There must be a way out before you reach the mountain. Let's cultivate to the other shore realm first. Perhaps, we can try to enter the Purple Mountain and take out the "Source Heavenly Book", which also records part of the "Western Emperor Sutra."

Suppressing his complicated and messy thoughts, Chai Xin took out a Yuanshen Pill, put it in his mouth, and began to practice.

Although the Lihuo Sect seemed as peaceful as ever, there were actually some disturbances among the top leaders.

In the ancient hall, several elders sat cross-legged on cushions.

"Seventh Brother, aren't you being a little hasty? Accepting a kid of unknown origin as your disciple is fine, but you actually promised him the position of elder?"

An old man with white hair and beard, who looked to be in his fifties or sixties, sat at the upper left. His face remained calm, but there was a hint of reproach in his tone.

"Fifth Senior Brother is right. If that boy has bad intentions, wouldn't that mean he has accepted a poisonous tumor? He should be tested."

"I think it's okay. In recent years, the Seven Star Pavilion and the Xuanyue Cave have become increasingly powerful. It's time for my Lihuo Sect to change its old rules and absorb some fresh blood."

"He shouldn't be allowed the position of elder! How can a young boy like him be on the same level as us? Aren't you just coveting his so-called inheritance from his predecessors and the throne? Just order him to give it up!"

Everyone held their own opinions and could not agree on a single conclusion, and they were almost about to start a quarrel.

Although the Seventh Elder Zheng Keyong was at the center of the discussion, he always had a smile on his face. He did not make any explanation and just quietly looked at the figure above the hall.

"All right!"

The figure remained silent the entire time, and only spoke after everyone had argued till their mouths were dry.

"Since the Seventh Elder has already promised, we should not embarrass him. At the regular meeting in a few days, we will assign the young man a task. If he succeeds, we will grant him the position of elder. If he fails, he should be severely punished. What do you think?"

"Master, what you said is very true!"

"I will follow the master's orders."

Everyone stood up, bowed slightly, and then left one after another. "Seventh Brother, you have never been a reckless person, why are you so reckless this time?" After everyone left, the head of the Lihuo Sect frowned and asked.

Zheng Keyong took a few steps closer and bowed slightly: "Brother, the throne in that boy's hand is very unusual!"

"What do you mean?" The leader of the Lihuo Sect raised his eyebrows, his tone a little surprised.

Zheng Keyong lowered his voice and said, "I see that its material is very similar to the treasure of our sect - the 'Lihuo Shenlu'!"

"Oh? Seriously?"

The head of Lihuo Sect finally changed his expression. The material of the same level as the Lihuo Divine Furnace was indeed of great significance.

"I haven't touched it myself, so I can't say for sure. But it's almost certain!"

Zheng Keyong looked serious.

This was the real reason why he so abruptly invited Chai Xin to join the Lihuo Sect and promised him the position of elder.

As for his talent for cultivation, it is just an excuse.

For most sects, no matter how strong one's talent for cultivation is, if they are not trained by their own sect, their loyalty will be extremely questionable. It is impossible to easily accept them into the sect. They will definitely have to go through multiple tests and have a detailed background investigation.

Not to mention being appointed as an elder!
The head of the Lihuo Sect seemed to trust Zheng Keyong very much. Hearing this, he pondered for a moment and nodded, saying, "In this case, we must not miss it."

"Brother, should we report this matter to our master?" Zheng Keyong asked.

"No need. Master is at the critical juncture of impacting the second stage of Dao Palace. Don't disturb him for anything! Besides, he is just a young man at the Divine Bridge Realm at most. Why should we disturb him?"

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Lihuo Sect immediately refused without hesitation.

Seeing him like this, Zheng Keyong hurriedly bowed and said yes, but as he bent over, a look of "as expected" flashed in his eyes.

"First test whether he is willing to offer it voluntarily. If he is not willing... you know what to do!"

After saying this, the leader of the Lihuo Sect closed his eyes again and said no more.

"Don't worry, brother. I understand."

Upon seeing this, Zheng Keyong immediately bowed in response and then slowly left the hall.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

Chai Xin never left the house and took three Yuanshen pills in a row. Together with the previous one, he had taken four pills in total.

These four Yuan Shen pills greatly expanded his consciousness, forming a golden lake in his sea of ​​consciousness, which was several times larger than before. His spiritual perception became extremely sharp, and although he never left his house, everything around the mansion, no matter how big or small, could not escape his control.

Next, Chai Xin did not plan to continue taking Yuanshen Pills, but instead wanted to practice in silence to thoroughly refine and absorb the medicinal power contained in his body.

Otherwise, it will only increase waste.

However, his idea of ​​continuing his retreat was soon dashed as a servant outside delivered a message that the Seventh Elder was coming to visit.

　Please give me a monthly vote. Although it is beyond my ability, I would like to make it to the new book list in the new month.
