Chapter 848 The Advantages and Disadvantages of Invoking the Past to Reform the System (Part 1)

As Su Che spoke, he clapped his hands, and then a series of slender female disciples filed out, each carrying a lacquer tray.

Inside the lacquer tray was a bright yellow pill.

Before the banquet today, please enjoy this fresh dish.

Su Che waved his hand as he spoke.

The several elixirs looked at each other in bewilderment.

Why are you giving people pills right off the bat?

The Longevity Cult also possesses several kinds of evil pills that can be used to control others.

Could it be that there is no good wine and no good banquet?

Lu Zheng reached out and grabbed a pill, swallowing it whole. Sun Cheng regretted being a moment too slow, allowing Lu Zheng to take the lead.

This kid has become much more intelligent since he came back from his trip to the Kingdom of Guzhu with the chief.

Knowing that their hesitation would be a sin in the eyes of the chief, the pill collectors humbly declined each other's offer and then swallowed the pills from the plate.

The elixir immediately transformed into a jade-like liquid upon entering the mouth and flowed directly into the lower dantian.

The cultivators exchanged glances, each sensing the other's surprise.

This was actually just an ordinary pill.

It doesn't contain much medicinal power or spiritual energy, but once you put it in your mouth, it gives you a unique feeling of fullness.

"Back then, Qing Tong Xiao Jun led our sect to the Southern Wilderness, where they worked tirelessly to open up the mountains and forests and establish the foundation we have today."

Su Che held a yellow pill in his hand and spoke eloquently.

"Back then, our sect didn't even have the weather we have today. It was truly gloomy and desolate. But it was with this small pill that we were able to establish ourselves in the Southern Wilderness."

The several cultivators exchanged glances.

"If you take this Jade Dew Pill, it will only slightly replenish your magical power and nourish your internal organs. However, if ordinary people or those who are just beginning to understand the path of cultivation take it, they can fast for a month to nourish their five internal organs and cleanse their bodies of impurities."

"The medicinal materials used in this product are countless in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. They are not rare or precious and are all readily available."

Su Che looked at the group of Core Formation cultivators before him.

"I happened to come across this passage a few days ago while I was in seclusion reading. It touched me deeply, so I ordered someone to refine a few Jade Dew Pills. I would like to ask you all to join me in reflecting on the past and thinking about the future."

Su Che settled into his seat and then continued speaking.

"I will accept the gifts you all brought, as a token of my appreciation. As for those gifts, Sun Cheng, you can return them to everyone later."

Sun Cheng quickly agreed.

Before long, all sorts of delicacies were served.

Although there were no leopard fetuses or ape lips, there were all sorts of rare delicacies, soup made by young dragons, roasted with honey by flying phoenixes, and the table was filled with spiritual herbs and exotic flowers.

In short, when it comes to the dishes, let alone the current difficult time for the Longevity Sect, even in its heyday, such delicacies would be rare.

These cultivators who had attained the Core Formation stage were not unsophisticated, but faced with such a feast, they were immediately tempted and began to eat heartily.

Of course, during this time, everyone had to flatter and fawn over the chief elder, Yang Sui, expressing their loyalty to him.

With the wine flowing freely and his ears warmed, Su Che, holding a wine cup, coughed lightly towards the assembled Core Formation cultivators before him.

A moment of silence followed.

The assembled cultivators looked towards Su Che, awaiting further instructions from the chief disciple. "Gentlemen..."

Su Che held up a wine cup, the icy wine inside being a top-grade product from the Northern Wilderness; even those at the Rejuvenation Core stage had to be careful of its potency.

"The internal strife in our sect before was a great loss to our strength. There are some things involved that we might as well discuss openly today."

Su Che looked down at the various Core Formation cultivators below, each with a different expression.

"Dan Chenzi claims to be the founder of our sect, but he is arrogant and treats our sect as his private property. He has repeatedly suppressed the new talents in the sect. He is called the founder, but he is actually a thief. Wu Wang Zhenren is stubborn and inflexible. Yu Xuanji even ran away when our sect was in trouble. He is despicable. Sooner or later, he will be caught and brought to justice."

After these words were spoken, several Core Formation cultivators from the Dan Chenzi lineage at the table had flushed faces and their fingers were still trembling.

Changing the subject, Su Che then mentioned Venerable Lingkong.

"The Venerable Lingkong colluded with outsiders, leading the Black Blood Sect to attack our mountain gate, causing the greatest calamity since the founding of our sect. He is truly the culprit. Furthermore, he instigated internal strife, causing the sect to kill each other. The foundation of a thousand years was destroyed in an instant. Although such a villain has died beyond the nine heavens, his evil deeds have not yet been settled."

The lineage of Venerable Lingkong is already divided into two factions of Rejuvenating Pills. If the lineage of Dan Chenzi can be considered as being old-fashioned and inflexible, then they are clearly the "evil deeds" that have not been purged.

"As for Hua Gu and Jin Yunu, although they were greatly favored by the Demon Lord and held important positions in the sect, when disaster struck, instead of seeking a way to defeat the thief, they abandoned the sect and fled. All their years of accumulated wealth were stolen by them, ultimately causing a great disaster. It is hateful that some people were willing to be driven by them and act as their henchmen."

Su Che's gaze swept across the crowd, and even the most composed Core Formation cultivators now looked grim.

After these three sentences were spoken, all the Core Formation cultivators on the table became guilty, except for Sun Cheng and Lü Zheng, the two direct descendants of Elder Yang, who remained seated, eyes closed and mind at ease.

"With such pernicious influence, how can our sect ever rise again?"

As Su Che spoke, he gently tossed the wine cup onto the table, his words filled with a chilling intent.

"If anyone persists in their evil ways and refuses to repent, I will teach them a lesson in swift and decisive action. The Longevity Cult has plenty of members, and I would rather kill until only two of them remain than spare these scoundrels."

Sun Cheng and Lü Zheng exchanged a glance.

Could it be that the remaining two people are referring to us?

The chill emanating from Su Che was even stronger than the wine in their cups.

"I've heard many rumors circulating within the sect. They say all sorts of things, that I, Yang, am merely an outsider, unworthy to be the head of our Longevity Sect. They say the Demon Lord has colluded with the Northern Pole Palace, becoming a lackey of the Northern Demonic Sect, and has failed our sect's ancestors..."

Su Che shook his head as he spoke.

"Some say that there are still people within the sect who still yearn for their former master and are constantly plotting to start a new era. Some even say they want to purge all the disciples from the sect..."

Several cultivators looked up at Su Che.

Isn't cleaning the inside of the door what you just mentioned?
"The disciples under my tutelage are restless, and all sorts of rumors are spreading. Many disciples at the Divine Realm have harbored ulterior motives and dare to take this opportunity to cause trouble and make things difficult for you all, making your lives unbearable."

Su Che picked up his wine glass again and took a sip.

"I have something to say here."

“After drinking this cup of wine with me, you will have washed away the past.”

Su Che looked at the people below who had attained the Golden Core stage.

"Regardless of who you followed before or what you did, let's consider this a closed chapter."

"From now on, you are all mine."

Su Che looked at everyone who had returned to their original state.

"I fully support you all. Anyone who is dissatisfied with you is dissatisfied with me. They are the ones whose poison has not yet been eradicated. Even if I have to kill all but twelve members of the Eternal Life Sect, I will still eradicate this poison!"
