Chapter 855 The Moral Struggle at the Yundan Meeting (Part 2)

"conspiracy?"

Deng Hui could barely contain his smile.

The demons of the Longevity Demonic Sect are indeed good at business. The sword cultivators of the South Sea Sect thought that these pills would have no trouble selling, not only in the Central Plains, but also in the East Sea.

Spiritual practitioners seek true self-realization and freedom, but some people prefer to roam freely in the sea of ​​desires.

This elixir can nourish the body and strengthen the internal organs, and with such wonderful uses, it will surely make you a gunman in the future.

"After taking this pill, ordinary pleasures will no longer be satisfied, and one will inevitably fall into the demonic path step by step."

"The medicinal effects of this pill should be useless to cultivators, right?"

Ye Yin of Bailudong frowned.

Although White Deer Cave is a martial arts school, it also has its own set of evaluation standards for elixirs. In Ye Yin's view, the Jade Dew Pill is only somewhat effective for those below the Divine Transformation Realm.

"Mr. Ye is indeed insightful. The conspiracy of the Longevity Demonic Cult lies in this. The target of this Jade Dew Pill is the mortals of the Central Plains. Once they are allowed to enter the Central Plains, the first to be purchased will be the wealthy and powerful."

Fu Qiongzhu said solemnly, “Given time, this will inevitably affect the social customs of the Central Plains. When the upper class sets an example, everyone will indulge in material desires, and the social customs of the entire Central Plains will eventually fall into the demonic path.”

"So dangerous?"

Deng Hui also felt that Fu Qiongzhu's words made sense.

He wasn't the kind of person who secluded himself in meditation and ignored worldly affairs. He was well aware of the current state of affairs in the Central Plains, and he knew that once the Jade Dew Pill entered the Central Plains, it might not be a good thing at all.

The Longevity Cult should not be simply regarded as a group of aphrodisiac peddlers or elixirs of immortality.

"The Eternal Life Demonic Sect was embroiled in internal strife. Ma Yi and Ling Kong were locked in a life-or-death struggle outside the Nine Heavens Domain when the Black Blood Old Demon came to break into the sect, only to be stopped by a Void Step named Yang Sui from the Eternal Life Demonic Sect."

Zhu He dropped another bombshell.

"Yang marrow?"

Ye Yin frowned, seemingly very curious about the name.

"I heard that the Old Demon in Hemp Robes picked it up from beyond the realm."

Zhu He explained and then continued.

"The Black Blood Demon is a renowned immortal who has lived for many years. How could he be blocked by this Yang Marrow?"

Xue Baizhi also became interested.

"Because of the arrival of the Demon Lord and the blessing of the Demon King of the Extinction of Law, this Yang Marrow actually triggered a heavenly tribulation, forcing the Black Blood Demon to flee."

"so smart?"

A demon cub that can attract the Demon Lord's blessing must not be regarded as an ordinary demon cub.

The fact that they were able to at least hold off the Black Blood Demon and force him to retreat is the best proof of that.

"The Law Will Annihilate the Demon Lord..."

Deng Hui muttered the Demon Lord's name.

This is also a well-known Dharma Lord in the Zhou Tian realm, but he rarely operates in this world.

After years of inactivity, why the sudden interest?

Could it be that there really is some kind of conspiracy?

"Could it be that the Demon Lord instructed them to do so?"

As soon as Deng Hui uttered those words, everyone present changed their expressions.

Just as they were wondering what was going on, a young disciple from Qingwang Valley rushed in.

She whispered a few words in Fu Qiongzhu's ear, which startled the man into letting out a low growl.

"This is happening!"

Fu Qiongzhu's loss of composure naturally drew the attention of those around her.

The Void Refiner from Qingwang Valley frowned and spoke softly to the Core Formation cultivators around him.

"Yang Sui, the chief elder of the Eternal Life Demonic Sect, is currently in Ci'en Fang!"

"Is there such a thing?"

Everyone in the room was shocked.

A large crowd gathered inside Ci'en Fang, and Su Che and his group followed the confused Qingwang Valley disciple forward.

"Sigh, Ci'enfang is always crowded, but now that the Yun Dan Conference is being held, there will be even more people coming."

The little girl was whispering to herself, and Su Che and the others could hear her clearly.

Every few years, Qingwang Valley holds a Cloud Pill Conference in Ci'enfang, inviting alchemy masters from all over the country to compare their skills and determine the rankings.

The competition is roughly divided into two parts. The first part is that each participant brings out their own elixir for the competition, which can be a newly created elixir or the elixir they are best at. The judges will evaluate the efficacy of the elixir and determine the ranking.

It can be considered a form of free creation.

The second part is a themed essay contest. Qingwang Valley sets the topics, and then the rankings are determined again based on the effects of the pills refined by the participants.

The rankings of both were combined, following the model of the Southern Dynasties' imperial examinations, to determine the top three scholars: Zhuangyuan (状元), Bangyan (榜眼), and Tanhua (探花).

"If I get a good ranking, I'll gain a lot of appreciation from my senior sisters."

Jiang Tao glanced at Su Che: "The girls from our Qingwang Valley are the ones who will bring prosperity to your family and business."

Zuo Siming rolled his eyes at the sound of it.

That's amazing! Let's take you all back to have babies.

Zhao Mingyuan was a cunning man. He chuckled twice and cautiously spoke to Su Che.

"Sir, why don't we also participate in the competition? You can be the champion, Lao Ma can be the runner-up, and I can be the third-place winner."

Tan Hua, what kind of flower is Tan Hua?

Su Che was thinking to himself that the Cloud Pill Conference was not bad; the top three could be recruited into the Longevity Sect as technical talents.

Moreover, if Qingwang Valley can hold such a grand event, my Changsheng Sect can do it too.

Isn't it just marketing?
"The Yundan Conference? We don't have time for that."

Su Che thought that it would be better to go to their door to ask for the goods and talk to them in person. Why would they come up to participate in the competition and want to win a ranking? Wouldn't that be a slap in the face to Qingwang Valley?

The young girl led them around and around until they finally entered the inner area. Several female disciples of Qingwang Valley were sitting behind a row of large tables, writing jade tablets with their magic. She led Su Che to a graceful female disciple of Qingwang Valley.

"Senior Sister Jiang, these are the newcomers, please check them out."

Screening?

The female disciple had already reached the Core Formation level of cultivation. She raised her head with her phoenix eyes and looked her up and down.

I was so scared I almost jumped out of my throat.

Su Che's aura was as dense as the dark night, seemingly without any trace, yet it also seemed to fill the heavens and earth. She had only seen such an aura on the elders within the sect. In addition, the three people behind him were all at the Five Qi Convergence stage, clearly all experts in the Core Formation stage.

Jiang Tao is such a fool; how could she let just anyone in?

"May I ask who you are, senior...?"

The female disciple was also quite clever; she stood up and cautiously asked, "This is our Longevity Sect's Chief Elder, Yang Sui."

Before Su Che could even speak, Ma Qianli stepped forward to greet him.

“I am Ma Qianli from the Longevity Sect. We have something to ask of your sect’s managing elder.”

Mother.

The female disciple barely managed to cry out.

She wasn't as naive as Jiang Tao. Qingwang Valley and the Changsheng Sect were neighbors, so she naturally knew that this Yang Sui Old Demon was a newly rising demon in the Changsheng Sect in the south, and it was said that even Hua Gu and Jin Yunu were no match for him.

The female disciple immediately smiled warmly.

"Please wait a moment, esteemed elders, while I report to my superiors."

He gave Jiang Tao a wink and then hurriedly left.

"Is your Longevity Sect very wealthy? You actually managed to meet the head of our Qingwang Valley."

Jiang Tao looked at Su Che and tilted her head.

"It's alright, we're just getting started."

"Are you still short-staffed?"

Zuo Siming grinned upon hearing this.

"You want to join our Longevity Cult."

"Never……"

Su Che realized that the little girl in front of him probably didn't recognize him.

Qingwang Valley has provided him with a good idea.

Even the best wine needs advertising; perhaps the Changsheng Sect needs to do something about it.

The female disciple returned quickly.

"The sect leader is already waiting for the elder in the main hall. Jiang Tao, come with me to guide the elder."

After another journey, Su Che saw a young woman leading a group of Void Step experts waiting for him outside the main hall.

What an impressive pair of headlights.

Su Che looked the female cultivator in front of him up and down. The Third Young Master Su was quite knowledgeable. In both his lives, he had never seen many women with such explosive beauty.

What kind of kung fu is practiced in Qingwang Valley that can produce results even in a place like this?
As Su Che thought to himself, he gave a slight bow to the crowd before him.

"Yang Sui, the leader of the Longevity Sect, greets everyone."

"The owner of Ci'enfang, Fu Qiongzhu."

This man glanced at Su Che with a rather arrogant expression, and then introduced the people in front of him again.

"Deng Hui of the South China Sea", "Xue Baizhi of Yuyang Mountain", "Zhu He, the hermit", "Ye Yin of Bailudong"...

"I wonder what brings Elder Yang here today?"

Fu Qiongzhu didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the point.

"Oh, it's like this, our sect had a batch of goods seized by your sect."

"That's not true."

Fu Qiongzhu spoke directly.

It's a case of the wicked eating the wicked.

Su Che never expected that a charitable organization like Qingwang Valley would behave in such a greedy manner.

What good would it do for a sect full of women to swallow my aphrodisiac?
"It seems there's some misunderstanding between us. Perhaps the people below failed to relay the information. Please ask the ward master to have them investigate."

Su Che was happy to show his good temper in order to give the Changsheng Sect a chance to turn the tide.

"No need to investigate, there's absolutely no such thing."

Looking at Su Che's face, Fu Qiongzhu was surprised to find that this old devil Yang had such a handsome appearance.

Su Che no longer needs to rely on magical artifacts to change his appearance, because the Nine Nether Reincarnation Technique can even easily alter his original aura.

At this moment, the part of Su Che belonging to the Xuanmen sect has been quietly hidden, while the external power of the Three Worlds King is as vast and unrestrained as a boundless ocean.

"So it was a misunderstanding?"

"good."

Fu Qiongzhu replied simply.

"Alright. Since it's a misunderstanding, I won't say anything more."

I had always wanted to reform myself, but you've forced me into this situation.

After bidding farewell, Fu Qiongzhu and the others made no attempt to keep them, and Su Che left dejectedly with the three Core Formation cultivators.

"Chief, these young wench from Qingwang Valley really deserve a beating. They should have been wiped out back then. It's all because our ancestors held back that they've caused such endless harm today."

Zuo Siming said indignantly.

Did the patriarch hold back?
Su Che was completely baffled.

Fortunately, Ma Qianli was there to explain, and Su Che learned that there was a past involved.

Both the Longevity Sect and the Azure King Valley originated from the lineage of the ancient Azure Emperor. The founder of the Azure King Valley, like the Azure Child Xiao Jun, was an immortal in the ancient Heavenly Court.

When the ancient Heavenly Court collapsed, everyone supported each other and later traveled south to make a living.

But when they reached the Ten Thousand Mountains, they went their separate ways.

The Longevity Cult continued south, eventually joining the Demonic Cult and worshipping the Demon Lord.

Qingwang Valley remained in the Ten Thousand Mountains, and combined with local witchcraft and divine methods, it was reconstructed into the Qingwang Valley we know today.

Of course, this is just a saying that circulates between the two religions and has never been included in the official histories of the two sects.

Therefore, Su Che had never seen it in the sect's records.

The Longevity Cult clearly felt that sharing the same origins as these living bodhisattvas of Qingwang Valley affected their prestige, while Qingwang Valley obviously disliked these fallen individuals tarnishing their good reputation.

However, even without official records, certain traces of such events cannot be hidden.

For example, the two families went south at roughly the same time, and started their businesses around the same time. Some of the founders of certain schools were either close friends or enemies.

After hearing this part of his past, Su Che felt even more overwhelmed.

The Changsheng Sect is not even qualified to be called demons. They have such an opposing sect right next to them, yet they have been able to ignore it until now.

"Okay, I see."

Su Che could only sigh deeply at this.

"Your Excellency, do you already have a plan?"

"The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease. They say it's an accident, so let's just wait for the accident to come knocking."
