Chapter 480: Hongying Refuses to Succeed as Pavilion Master (4k, Please Subscribe)
For this reason alone, it was impossible for her to bypass Wei Tu and annex Jingshui Pavilion without authorization.
Therefore, after considering all kinds of things, Cao Mi decided to conceal the truth about the death of Master Hongjing, let Jingshui Pavilion maintain the current system, and wait for it to slowly decline until it is destroyed.
Jingshui Pavilion, which does not have the blessing of the Yuanying Ancestor and is not a local sect, will be destroyed in the world after the death of this generation of Jindan Zhenjun.
"What? The ancestor is dead?"
After hearing this, the face of Jindan Zhenjun of Jingshui Pavilion immediately showed shock and panic, with a look of disbelief on his face.
After all, that is the ancestor of Nascent Soul!
Without a war, it would be difficult for a single one to fall in thousands of years.
"What is the danger? That caused Master Hongjing and Patriarch Luo to die one after another?" Ning Xuefeng, the master of Jingshui Pavilion, stood up from her seat and asked through gritted teeth.
However, during this inquiry, Ning Xuefeng did not look at Cao Mi, but at Wei Tu who was standing aside.
She believed what Wei Tu said more than Cao Mi.
——The reputation of Alchemist Wei Tu Wei is well-known in the territory of Kang State.
When Wei Yan formed the elixir, although she did not stop Shen Yunqiu from taking revenge on Wei Yan, she also helped Wei Yan rent the cave in Ningyue Palace.
In other words, both Wei Tu and his daughter owed her a favor of some magnitude.
Without her as a matchmaker, it would be difficult for Wei Tu and Cao Mi to get to know each other.
Now, due to emotions and reasons, Wei Tu should also help her here and tell her the truth.
"The danger is unspeakable."
Wei Tu shook his head. He took a serious look at Ning Xuefeng, who was standing in the palace, and said calmly, "Unless another Nascent Soul cultivator is born in Jingshui Pavilion."
After saying this, he paused again and continued: "More than forty years ago, fellow Daoist Hongjing of your sect only told Junior Sister Cao this news."
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Is it so easy to break through the Nascent Soul realm?
Small sects such as Jingshui Pavilion and other Yuanying sects had only one Yuanying monk alive during most of their history.
The entire sect, after accumulating thousands of years of foundation, had the opportunity to give birth to the next Nascent Soul Ancestor.
Master Hongjing is still in the "middle age" period shortly after he attained the Nascent Soul. He has not yet reached the "old age" of carefully cultivating the next Nascent Soul for the sect.
In short, the current foundation of Jingshui Pavilion is no longer enough for the sect to give birth to another Nascent Soul cultivator.
Unless... Jingshui Pavilion's sect's fortunes will flourish and a Nascent Soul Ancestor can be born who doesn't rely on too much help from the sect. But if you think about it, you know how slim this chance is.
If nothing else happens, I am afraid that their generation of Jindan Zhenjun will be completely dead, and it will be difficult for Jingshui Pavilion to give birth to a new Yuanying Ancestor.
In other words, the truth behind the death of Master Hongjing guarded by Wei Tu and Cao Mi, they, the juniors of Jindan, may not be able to find out the secret in their lifetime.
"No one from the Jingshui Pavilion has been able to break through the Nascent Soul realm since then." At this moment, Ning Xuefeng suddenly remembered the curse words Shen Yunqiu said when she died a hundred years ago.
At first, she didn't take Shen Yunqiu's words seriously.
But now, as the Pavilion Master, she is watching helplessly as Jingshui Pavilion encounters such difficulties and is about to perish in the future. It is impossible for her to ignore these words easily.
"I wonder if she can shoulder the important responsibilities of the sect in the future."
Ning Xuefeng sighed softly, and Kou Hongying's figure immediately appeared in her mind.
Because of Kou Hongying's relationship with Wei Tu, she has been cultivating Kou Hongying selectively over the years.
However, it is just a matter of choice.
As the heir to the Pavilion Master, she has always preferred her disciples.
But to this day, she is not allowed to think too much.
Putting aside her personal interests... Kou Hongying, who has a close relationship with Wei Tu, is now the most suitable candidate for the future master of Jingshui Pavilion.
Thinking of this, Ning Xuefeng felt a little more at ease. She bowed slightly to Wei Tu and said, "I understand," and said no more.
Ning Xuefeng remained silent, and it was impossible for the other Jindan True Lords in Jingshui Pavilion to talk any more.
As a result, the death of Master Hongjing disappeared peacefully in Jingshui Pavilion like a stone falling into water.
However, although the ripples are quiet, this stone has undoubtedly become a huge stone in the hearts of all Jingshui Pavilion Jindan Zhenjun, which is difficult to ignore.
When Wei Wei Tu and Cao Mi left Jingshui Pavilion together, Ning Xuefeng's disciple "Rong Qing" stopped the two of them and said these words, which undoubtedly proved this point.
"Senior Wei, Senior Cao."
"My master is in retreat today to break through the Nascent Soul. The selection of the acting pavilion master has been passed down to Junior Sister Kou. After my master passes away, Junior Sister Kou will succeed as the future Pavilion Master."
Rong Qing bowed deeply and said.
"Breaking through the Nascent Soul in seclusion?"
Hearing this, Wei Tu paused and turned his head to look at the back cave of Jingshui Pavilion.
With his knowledge, it is not difficult to understand the purpose of Ning Xuefeng's retreat at this time.
The meaning is, if you don’t succeed, you will become a benevolent person!
If we can successfully break through Nascent Soul, the danger in Jingshui Pavilion and the death crisis of Red Mirror Master will be resolved.
If you fail to break through the Nascent Soul...
After his death, the biggest obstacle in front of Kou Hongying, the Pavilion Master, has been eliminated.
Later, he, Kou Hongying's "third uncle", would protect Jingshui Pavilion for the sake of his niece's power, and continue the legacy of Jingshui Pavilion for the ancestors of Jingshui Pavilion.
"The strategy is good, but it's a pity that I got involved with my own life."
Wei Tu remained silent, and couldn't help but feel a bit of respect for Ning Xuefeng's will to die.
After four hundred years of cultivating immortality, he had seen many intrigues and intrigues in the world of immortality, but this was the first time he saw someone willing to sacrifice his life in order to protect the inheritance of his ancestors.
"No! There is also Huang Juzhi, he counts as one."
Wei Tu remembered that after the entire Huang family in Heshan was massacred, Huang Juzhi, the second ancestor, went to seek revenge on Qi Chengchu.
Although this person rebelled against the Huang family in Heshan and turned to the devil, he still had feelings for the Huang family members.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to seek revenge against Qi Chengchu without overestimating his own abilities.
"Wei knows about this."
Wei Tu nodded slightly, stretched out his hand, and used magic power to condense a jade slip with the word "Wei" printed on it, and handed it to Kou Hongying who was beside him. After hearing the news, he was slightly stunned.
"Since Hongying was selected by Pavilion Master Ning as the future Pavilion Master of Jingshui Pavilion, Wei is also willing to protect Jingshui Pavilion."
"This is Wei's order. If your sect is in trouble, you can take this order and go to the Ying Ding Department to find Wei."
Wei Tu glanced at the Jingshui Pavilion cultivators who were present to see him off, and said calmly.
The words fell.
The Jingshui Pavilion cultivators present had mixed reactions.
Some looked sad and kept calling "Pavilion Master". After all, they knew that the prerequisite for Wei Tu's protection was at the cost of Ning Xuefeng's death.
Some showed a relaxed look.
However, this is not because these monks are ungrateful, but because the core interests of Jingshui Pavilion have little to do with them. Ning Xuefeng gives up the position of pavilion master that has been passed down from generation to generation. On the contrary, it is a matter of concern to them. A good thing.
They also didn't think that Ning Xuefeng's sacrifice was for the sake of their path.
on the contrary--
Wei Tu's statement at this moment is actually a good thing for them.
With this letter, even if the momentum of Jingshui Pavilion in the future is not as good as that of Master Hongjing before his death, it will not plummet like this.
"Nephew, thank you Uncle Wei."
At this time, Kou Hongying finally reacted. With a look of surprise on her face, she bowed her hands and thanked Wei Tu.
Compared with the other cultivators of Jingshui Pavilion who looked relaxed after hearing the news, Kou Hongying understood clearly - he knew the real reason why Ning Xuefeng gave up his position to her.
There is only one monk she is grateful to, and that is Wei Tu. Without Wei Tu, Ning Xuefeng would not step aside at this moment to pave the way for her.
Therefore, respect comes from respect, and Kou Hongying will not be stupid in this matter.
…
After the incident at Jingshui Pavilion ended.
Wei Tu and Kou Hongying met alone to discuss whether it was feasible to "reunite the charity society".
"Whether it's a nephew or Uncle Fu who can help each other with the Yuan Ying Ancestor, they will be willing to do so. After all, such a great opportunity only comes once in a thousand years."
Kou Hongying seemed to have no intention of saying this as a joke.
After hearing this, Wei Tu understood what Kou Hongying meant - to reunite with the charity society, it was more about whether he was willing or not.
Because, it's predictable.
As the person with the highest cultivation level in the charity society, he will suffer a lot here.
As those who benefited, Kou Hongying and Fu Zhizhou naturally had no reason to disagree.
"I have seriously considered this matter."
"Reuniting the charity club will cost me a lot of profits in a short period of time, but in the long run, it will be more cost-effective for me to have two more helpers from you."
Wei Tu pondered for a moment and said in a concentrated voice.
Without the "Soul-Swallowing Wood", he would only become a blood transfusion party when he reunited with the Yishe.
Over time, it becomes difficult to maintain.
But today is different from the past. He has the "Soul Swallowing Wood", a magical sacred tree in his hand.
A Nascent Soul cultivator can be created quickly!
After the Yishe has two Nascent Soul cultivators, namely him and Fu Zhizhou, they can make a contract together according to the "Old Foundation Building Matters" to support Kou Hongying to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.
When Kou Hongying achieves Nascent Soul and his level, all the "spiritual stones" he owes them will be repaid in a short time.
By then, the three of them Nascent Souls will work together, and they will be considered a strong Nascent Soul force, whether in the Guixuhai Immortal Cultivation World or the Da Cang Immortal Cultivation World.
Of course, there is a risk that the breakthrough will fail and his investment may be lost.
but--
The friendship between the three of them was enough for him to invest in this.
Hearing Wei Tu's affirmative words, Kou Hongying put away the smile on her face. She said with a solemn expression: "Uncle Wei intends to help Uncle Fu and I resume our paths. This is a good thing, but my nephew... has suffered Uncle Wei has taken care of me a lot, and I don’t want to delay Uncle Wei anymore.”
She is now over four hundred years old, but her realm is still in the middle stage of the Golden Core.
In a short period of time, it will be difficult to break through.
In the next few hundred years, although she is confident that she can reach the peak of the Golden Core, she will probably be old when she reaches it. It is difficult to break through the Nascent Soul.
With Wei Tu's investment, she might be able to shorten her life by a hundred or two hundred years, reach the peak of the golden elixir earlier, and then prepare for the birth of a baby, but Kou Hongying knew... Wei Tu's relatives and friends were far more than just her.
"My nephew is very satisfied to be able to reach today's realm with a medium-grade spiritual root."
Kou Hongying smiled slightly.
The barrier of Nascent Soul blocks the path of cultivation for most monks in the world.
She didn't think she was an exception.
Seeing this scene, Wei Tu was in a trance. He still remembered the scene four hundred years ago when the girl in blue skirt took the initiative to sign a spiritual contract and asked their brothers for help.
Today, he gave up on his own initiative?
"Xinghua..."
Wei Tu saw in Kou Hongying the same character and shadow as Xinghua.
Back then, Xinghua voluntarily gave up using the "Ice Mysterious Lock Talisman" in order to help him and his sister and brother Wei Yan, and was willing to die of old age.
At this moment, Wei Tu felt that Kou Hongying's Taoist heart was far stronger and firmer than his.
Because it is easy to find the way to immortality, but it is difficult to know that there is a way and jump off the cliff without regrets.
"Hongying, the covenant of Yishe has never been given away in vain."
Wei Tu said with a slightly cold tone.
Hearing this, Kou Hongying was slightly startled, wondering what Wei Tu was trying to sell.
"It's okay if you don't want to trade with me and your Uncle Fu. But when have you and I ever given you anything for free?" Wei Tu said lightly.
The words fell.
Kou Hongying thought about it for a moment and felt that this was the case.
Although Wei Tu helped her a lot during the journey, he never mentioned the words "free gift" to her.
Although the talismans and elixirs are at internal prices, Wei Tu has always made money.
However, Kou Hongying also knew that these seemed to be commonplace things, but for other monks, they were also rare opportunities.
At this moment, she also understood Wei Tu's hidden meaning: He would give her the chance to gain Nascent Soul, but none of this would be given in vain. She needed to fight for it and repay it in the future.
Thinking of this, Kou Hongying felt a little relieved and no longer had the stubborn thoughts he had just now.
"Uncle Wei, you have said so much. But you have never thought that the dissolution of the charity club was entirely a unilateral announcement by you and Uncle Wei. My nephew has never withdrawn from the club."
Kou Hongying's pretty face showed a bit of a smile and she retorted sarcastically.
"Yes." After hearing this, Wei Tu remembered that Kou Hongying had indeed never quit the company.
At that time, the reason why the charity society was disbanded was because Wei Fei failed to build the foundation and completely lost his enterprising spirit, so he wrote to him asking for the dissolution of the charity society.
After seeing this letter, he dissolved the charity society.
At that time, although Kou Hongying and Fu Zhizhou agreed to the matter, they did not say that they were withdrawing from the company.
"Since you have agreed, I will write a letter to inform you, Uncle Fu."
Wei Tu nodded and said goodbye to Kou Hongying.
But at this time, Kou Hongying stopped Wei Tu and said something else.
"Yishe, there are only three of you and me, which is a bit too rare. My nephew heard that Uncle Wei's son and daughter are also people with good personalities."
Kou Hongying suggested.
"Xian'er and Wei Ping?" Hearing this, Wei Tu touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
His opinion of Wei Xian'er and Wei Ping was quite good, but these two people obviously did not have the strength to join their newly formed charity society.
"However, absorbing the two of them is not necessarily a bad thing."
Wei Tu understood what Kou Hongying meant.
The intention is to allow Yishe to expand its power and no longer be a small private trade fair.
In addition, the meaning of letting Wei Fei's son and daughter join is not that simple.
This is more like a heritage!
