Chapter 340: Seeing through but not speaking out
"Hehe, what's wrong with that? After all, I am still a guest elder of the Golden Sword Sect and a registered disciple of the Grand Elder. Moreover, Zuo Cong, the most outstanding disciple of the Golden Sword Sect, transferred from my sect to the Golden Sword Sect. How many Golden Sword Sect disciples can he match alone? It can be said that Wuji and Jinjian are from the same family. Why should we divide them so clearly?
Besides, I'll just recruit a few ready-made ones to train. Once they become masters, will they forget their origins? In the end, if they just help the Golden Sword Sect, will the Golden Sword Sect get less benefits? That's not right. As I talk, why do I feel like I've been taken advantage of!" Qin Ziling slapped his forehead as he spoke, looking bitter.
"Haha!" Xiao Qing and Xia Yan laughed out loud when they saw this, and their bodies shook with laughter. Seeing this, Qin Ziling was furious again. He quickly stood up and said, "I will go to Jinjian Mountain to discuss this with the teacher. Xiao Qing, you issue a master's order, ordering the relevant personnel who are traveling outside to return to Fangqiao County in the near future."
After saying that, Qin Ziling didn't wait for Xiao Qing's response. He jumped onto the back of the flaming eagle and flew away.
Xiao Qing looked at Qin Ziling's hurriedly leaving back, with a hint of confusion in her eyes. However, Xia Yan seemed to understand it quickly and whispered a few words in her ear.
Xiao Qing's face suddenly turned red.
…
"Why did you come back so soon?" In the back mountain of Jinjian Mountain, Jian Bailou saw Qin Ziling "slipping his tongue" again and returning after only one or two months away, and asked in surprise.
"Looking at your expression, it seems that you don't want to see me. It's a pity that I came here to pay my respects to you right after returning to Fangqiao County." Qin Ziling said.
"Stop talking nonsense to me and let's get down to business." Jian Bailou said directly.
"Teacher, you are so boring!" Qin Ziling pouted, then said : "Okay, let's talk business."
Upon hearing this, Jian Bailou and Feng Ziluo, who accompanied him, sat up straight, with a solemn look on their faces.
"I would like to ask you for a few loyal, reliable, well-behaved, and of course talented great Qi Refiners, and have them transfer to my Wuji Sect." Qin Ziling said.
"Ah!" Feng Ziluo was stunned on the spot and couldn't recover for a long time.
However, Jian Bailou, the old fox, immediately understood Qin Ziling's intention. His eyes lit up and he asked, "Really?"
"Teacher, could you please show a little more pain and reluctance? Otherwise I will feel like I'm being taken advantage of!" Qin Ziling said upon seeing this.
"Haha, there's no such thing as a sucker or not. Jin Jian and Wuji are a family, why do we have to divide our family members so clearly?" Jian Bailou said with a smile, patting Qin Ziling's shoulder.
"Teacher, this is what you said. Okay, then give Zuo Cong back to me!" Qin Ziling said after hearing this.
"No, except Zuo Cong and Feng Ziluo, you can take any of the others!" Jian Bailou refused very decisively.
"Teacher, you have no moral principles at all!" Qin Ziling blurted out.
Jian Bailou was slightly stunned. Although he didn't understand the joke, he immediately said, "Nonsense, I am a master of Qi training, not a warrior."
"Master, do you really agree to let our disciples of the Golden Sword Sect switch to the Wuji Sect?" Feng Ziluo finally came to his senses and asked cautiously.
"Zi Luo, you are very talented in Qi Refining, but you are the head of a school. It is not enough to just practice cultivation! You must also know how to make changes. Look at Zi Ling, who is also the head of a school, and he knows how to make changes.
Seeing that the threshold for Qi Refining was high and it was difficult to cultivate Qi Refining disciples in a short period of time, he thought of poaching disciples from our Jinjian Sect and then building and developing the Qi Refining branch of Wuji Sect. "Jian Bailou looked at Feng Ziluo and said earnestly.
Feng Ziluo rolled his eyes inwardly when he heard this. Since you know that he wants to poach the disciples that we, the Golden Sword Sect, have trained with so much effort, why are you still so happy about it, as if you have gotten a huge advantage?
"As soon as I see your expression, I know you still don't understand." Jian Bailou sighed when he saw that his beloved disciple had a "confused" look on his face, with a hint of dissatisfaction that he was trying hard to hide.
"Junior Brother Zi Ling has done a great favor to our Golden Sword Sect. Without him, we wouldn't have the Golden Sword Sect we have today. If he wants a few people, I will definitely not refuse. But I really don't understand why you are so happy!" Feng Ziluo was a straightforward person, and he said honestly after hearing that.
"You also know that without Ziling, there would be no Golden Sword Sect today! Is Ziling a true disciple of our Golden Sword Sect?" Jian Bailou looked at his beloved disciple speechlessly and asked.
Feng Ziluo shook his head.
“But what Zi Ling has done for the Golden Sword Sect is far more than what a true disciple of the Golden Sword Sect has done. Even his contribution to the Golden Sword Sect is much greater than that of you, the head sect, and me, the supreme elder. So, whether or not one is a true disciple of the Golden Sword Sect is certainly important, but what is more important is to have the ability and a heart that does not forget its roots and truly protects and loves the Golden Sword Sect.” Jian Bailou continued.
"Disciple understands. Even if my disciples of the Golden Sword Sect switch to the Wuji Sect, they will definitely still remember the relationship with the Golden Sword Sect. With Zi Ling's current strength and resources at hand, if the disciples of the Golden Sword Sect switch to the Wuji Sect, they will definitely receive better training than the Golden Sword Sect, and may even be able to break through and become a Qi Refining Grandmaster.
These masters who have left our Golden Sword Sect will definitely do their best to help the Golden Sword Sect in the future. Their contribution to the Golden Sword Sect will be greater than if they stayed in the Golden Sword Sect, and we don't need to continue to invest cultivation resources in them. Isn't this equivalent to Wuji Sect helping us train external sect masters for free? "As Feng Ziluo spoke, his thoughts became clearer and clearer.
"Zi Luo, there are some things you have to learn to see through but not speak out loud! If you do, how will your master and Zi Ling feel?" Jian Bailou was speechless when he saw that his beloved disciple was almost about to say the word "sucker".
"Yeah, senior brother, now that you mention that, I feel very stupid!" Qin Ziling looked at Feng Ziluo, speechless.
Is this senior brother really suitable to be the head of the sect? It seems that we still have to help Zuo Cong take the position as soon as possible and let him step down and become an elder.
"Hehe, how could you be stupid? You are such a smart person, you must have already calculated the gains and losses clearly!" Feng Ziluo said quickly, looking embarrassed.
After all, I took such a big advantage of them.
"Senior brother, sometimes brotherhood can make people go to their heads. The teacher has said that Jinjian and Wuji are one family. Given the relationship between our two families, how can I really calculate the gains and losses clearly? If I really have to calculate, it would be directed at outsiders. Don't you think so?" Qin Ziling said, looking like he was willing to risk his life for his brother without hesitation.
Feng Ziluo, who always had a stern expression, couldn't help but show a touch of emotion on his face. Just as he was about to speak, Jian Bailou couldn't help but pat Qin Ziling on the shoulder and said, "Ziling, that's enough."
"Teacher, I know what you want to say. Are you trying to say that the future leader of the Golden Sword Sect will be my direct disciple who has defected to the sect? Will the Wuji Sect gain more benefits?"
"Isn't it?"
"Yes, if you think that the future leader of the Golden Sword Sect is my disciple who defected to the sect, and the Golden Sword Sect suffered a loss, then you should return Zuo Cong to me."
"no!"
"Look, after all, I am still the victim. I have been the victim, and you still won't allow me to express my feelings in front of my senior brother?"
"This..." Feng Ziluo watched Qin Ziling and Jian Bailou bickering with each other, and then he realized that there were so many twists and turns in this matter.
"You kid, we are all family, but you are talking in different ways. Let's be serious. How many people are you going to recruit this time, and how are you going to train them?" Seeing that he could not win the argument with Qin Ziling, Jian Bailou had to bring up the old topic again.
There is no way around it. In the final analysis, the Golden Sword Sect gained more advantages in this matter.
Of course, Jian Bailou and Qin Ziling were just saying it for fun. After all, practicing is boring, and both of them happened to be masters who appeared serious on the surface but were a little bit sultry inside. When they met, they bickered and played some little tricks, and there was an inexplicable pleasure of meeting a worthy opponent.
In fact, both of them knew that they were indeed a family based on their relationship, and there was no need to care so much.
"Three , then. They all need to be at the Zhenyuan realm or above, preferably in the middle and late Zhenyuan realm. I want to cultivate a few Qi Refining Grandmasters in a short period of time, but I can't afford too many people." Qin Ziling said.
"You actually want to train them into Qi Refining Grandmasters in a short period of time!" Jian Bailou and Feng Ziluo both gasped when they heard this.
"So Teacher, Senior Brother Feng, I'm really at a loss." Qin Ziling said with a "heartbroken" look on his face when he saw the two of them gasping for air.
"Thanks to you, the Golden Sword Sect has trained more than ten great Qi Refining Masters in the True Yuan Realm in the past few years. It is easy to pick out three of them to join , but if you want to train them into Qi Refining Masters in a short period of time, the price you pay will be very huge." This time, Jian Bailou did not refute Qin Ziling, but said solemnly.
The Golden Sword Sect already had its foundation, but because Jian Bailou and Feng Ziluo were both injured a few years ago, they were unable to obtain the "Huayuan Pill". As a result, it has been difficult to cultivate a great Qi Refiner at the True Yuan realm over the years, resulting in a gap in the number of disciples at the Great Qi Refiner level. In fact, there are still quite a few disciples at the True Power realm.
In recent years, Qin Ziling has distributed a lot of "Hua Yuan Dan" to the Jin Jian Sect, some of which are top-grade "Hua Yuan Dan". Later, Jian Bailou himself became a master of Qi Refining and was able to refine "Hua Yuan Dan" himself.
It just so happened that there were Zhenyuan fruit trees that were more than 600 years old growing in the valley of the Wuyang Mountains. The fruits could be picked to refine top-grade "Huayuan Pills".
Therefore, the Jinjian Sect has developed extremely rapidly in recent years. Including the four elders Pan Bo, Fang Ruibo, and Jin Yichen, more than ten great Qi Refiners have emerged in just a few years.
"In addition to me having to pay a huge price, they also need to pay a price." Qin Ziling said in a deep voice.
