Shangyuque

Chapter 122 Wang Yulou, you are really good at pretending! (1.05W)

The Dishuitian Palace stands deep in the Immortal Palace, as if it is the guardian of this fairyland.

The hall is magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings, but it seems quiet and solemn because of the clear sound of chimes.

The sound of the chime, every time it is struck, seems to be questioning the soul, and the echo slowly ripples in the hall, spreading along with the faint smell of incense.

The hall was deep and the distance was obviously far, but Yulou still felt an inexplicable pressure from Gong Tieyan who was sitting in front of the Immortal Lord's Dharma image.

In Hewan Fishing Port, Qin Churan and Bai Xiaoyu represent Wang Yulou. They are an extension of Yulou's control over the power he has built.

Correspondingly, Gong Tieyan, the direct descendant of Gong Jiusheng's family, can also be regarded as an extension of Jiusheng Zhenren's control power and the representative of Jiusheng Zhenren.

Gong Tieyan didn't move. Under the guidance of Zhuoyinsheng, Yulou sat next to him.

The clear sound of the chimes gradually faded away, passing through the main hall and every house of the foundation-building elders outside the Immortal Master's Mansion. The elders of the Dripping Cave, who were either practicing or busy with their work, all turned their eyes in the direction of the main hall.

Those who could come set off immediately and rushed to the Dishuitian Palace as quickly as possible. Those who could not come also hurriedly sent disciples to convey the reason.

Afterwards, the sound of the chimes penetrated the boundaries of the Dripping Heaven, floated down from the clouds, and spread to the entire Dripping Cave Heaven.

Other elders of the Dripping Cave who were active and practicing in different places in the cave also flew to the Dripping Heaven.

When Wang Xianzhou heard the sound of the chimes, he did not suspect anything at first, but when he thought that it was already evening and Yulou, who had gone to attend Lin Mengyao's birthday banquet, had not returned, he suddenly became suspicious.

He pondered for a moment, then rode on the red cardinal and headed towards Dishuitian.

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens!
The great demon Shi Zu also heard the familiar sound of the chimes. Having lived in the Dripping Cave for more than a thousand years, Shi Zu was very familiar with this sound. Whenever the sound of the chimes was heard, it meant that something big had happened in the Dripping Cave.

But when it looked at the solemn Daxiu in front of it, it finally just shrank its head, hid it in its shell, and continued to pretend to be good.
-
In the Dishuitian, Yulou saw Wu Jinyan hiding quietly at the edge of the crowd.

However, when Old Wu saw Wang Yulou sitting next to Zhuo Yinsheng, he suddenly felt flustered.

Could it be that the incident of the Yuan family has been exposed and things have developed to the point where we have to ask for help and distinguish between loyalty and treachery?
Old Wu was really scared. He was an outsider and had no choice but to stand in line under the threat of Wang Xianzhou.

If the real person determines that Wang Yulou and Wang Xianzhou are traitors after distinguishing between loyalty and treachery, Wu Jinyan will also be in big trouble.

Some people may wonder, it is obvious that Yuan Daoshen is cruel and ruthless, doing things by any means necessary, and wants to use ten crocodiles to destroy the foundation of Wang Yulou's development in Dripping Cave.

Everyone knows why Wang Yulou and Wang Xianzhou might be labeled as traitors.

In fact, this issue is not complicated, and internal struggles often do not follow rules.

The so-called rules, regulations, and laws are formulated to restrict cattle, horses, ants, and consumables, not to restrict the makers.

The rules of the Dripping Cave are complicated, restricting disciples who practice Qi cultivation and minor Qi-inducing cultivation, not the foundation-building cultivators who are the foundation of the sect, and certainly not the true people who hold real power.

In this case, Master Gong Jiusheng's lineage happens to be very powerful, so doesn't it give them a good chance to turn Wang Yulou into Wang Jianlou?

The foundation-building elders of the Dripping Cave belong to the Dripping Heaven. The sect provides them with standard robes with a light blue background and lapis lazuli embroidery patterns. The embroidery patterns are the general outline of the Dripping Heaven. The name of the robes is Tianzhong Ruishui, commonly known as Ruishui robes.

As the elders dressed in Ruishui robes entered the Dishuitian Hall one by one, the layout of the hall gradually became clear.

Yulou noticed that the elders in the sect were clearly divided into three groups.

The immortal's image was above, and the center of the hall in front of it was empty.

On both sides of the center, there were thirty-seven people sitting on one side, headed by Yuan Daoshen.

On the other side, which was the side where Yulou was, there were a total of thirty-three people sitting, headed by Zhuoyinsheng - Yulou did not count himself among them.

So, there are seventy people in total. Among these seventy people, more than twenty are senior foundation-building masters with supernatural powers. It can be said that they include the real core figures of the Dripping Cave.

Of course, Lin Mengyao, the ancestor of Lin Ying's family, Yulou's future Taoist partner, is also among them. From this point of view, Yulou has smoothly integrated into the core circle of the Dripping Cave.

The remaining elders, totaling sixty-six in number, were standing, yes, standing, facing the Immortal Lord with their backs to the entrance of the main hall. They were fringe elders whom the two major factions were not willing to win over, and Wu Jinyan was among them.

The protection of Zifu Zhenren is limited, and not everyone is qualified to enter his eyes.

Originally, Lin Mengyao was not qualified to stand next to Zhuo Yinsheng. When he attended meetings in the past, he always stood among the crowd.

But now, he has become a senior foundation-building practitioner and has entered the ranks of the high-level people in Dripping Cave, so naturally things are different.

There are more than 200 advanced foundation-building cultivators in the Dripping Cave, and 135 of them are present today. It can be said that almost everyone who is inside the cave has come.

Most of those who did not come were because they had received imperial decrees from their sects or the Immortal Alliance and were going out to carry out missions in the caves.

"We are almost here, Junior Brother Tieyan, shall we start now?"

The head of the sect, Qu Yunjian, spoke up. Seeing his calm and composed look, he was already certain that the Yuan family would still win this time.

"They haven't all arrived yet, wait a little longer!" Zhuo Yinsheng said dissatisfiedly.

He was waiting for Wang Xianzhou!
Wang Yulou is very smart, but too young. He doesn't dare let Wang Yulou do the real job of charging forward and self-destructing. Wu Jinyan, who doesn't want to get involved in this mess, is even more unreliable.

Therefore, we must wait for Wang Xianzhou.

Zhuoyinsheng believed that with Wang Xianzhou's experience, he should be able to come as soon as possible.

Of course, he also sent people to contact Wang Xianzhou. Even if Old Ancestor Xianzhou did not notice something was wrong at the first time, it would not delay the important matter.

As long as Wang Xianzhou comes, given his age and special status, there will be so much he can do and say, and in this case, Old Yuan will inevitably lose the possibility of winning.

At that point, in today's fight, the camp represented by the Zhuo family can at least guarantee a result of not losing, and that is enough.

"No need to wait!"

Gong Tieyan stood up from the mat, his body moved slowly, and countless pieces of skin fell off. Those pieces floated in the air, but were attracted and retrieved by the small spiritual token on Gong Tieyan's waist.

Yulou noticed that Elder Gong Tieyan's skin was like dry earth. If you looked closely, you could see countless fine cracks all over it.

In the Dripping Cave, which mainly practices water magic, it seems quite interesting that the direct descendant of Jiusheng Zhenren's family is actually a senior foundation-building expert in earth magic.

Thinking of this, Yulou became even more wary of Yuan Daoshen.

Yuan Daoshen's strength is stronger than Wang Jingyi's, but there is not a trace of his supernatural power that cannot be restrained. It is really scary when you think about it.

Without giving Zhuoyinsheng a chance to interrupt, Gong Tieyan looked at Yulou and said.

"Wang Yulou, I've heard of your name."

The sound of the tentacles of this Jiusheng Zhenren is powerful and majestic, and his words have the charm of a deep bell.

"Elder Tieyan is here in person, Wang Yulou, why don't you quickly stand up and greet him?"

Just when Yulou was somewhat surprised, a foundation-building cultivator from the Yuan family suddenly spoke up to attack.

Xiao Deng, you are not qualified to sit here!
It may seem unprofessional, but this is the norm in struggle.

Humiliation, oppression, and intimidation are nothing more than these means.

Yulou understood the significance of Bai Tieyan's appearance here. Although he was confident that he would not be convicted for such a trivial matter as using the fourth level of Qi training to murder the first foundation-building master in the Dripping Water Cave, he did not dare to be arrogant in front of the tentacles of Jiusheng Zhenren.

Just as he stood up, Gong Tieyan looked sternly at the Yuan family's foundation-building person who spoke.

"shut your mouth!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the Dishuitian Palace changed instantly.

Yuan Daoshen’s facial expression management was almost out of control, and his eyes even lost focus.

He realized that Gong Tieyan's sudden appearance without his request might not be an accident, nor was he here to help him.

Wang Yulou was also a little confused. The current situation was roughly like when a team fight just started, the big boss on the opposite side suddenly turned against me and said that I was a traitor.

Poor Tianjian, Yulou had just prepared at least four postures and methods of pulling in his mind in order to win the first battle of internal fighting after joining the game. Now that Gong Tieyan took the lead in turning against him, it seems that none of them can be used.

Just when Yulou, Zhuoyinsheng and others were puzzled, Zhuochi, who arrived late, entered the hall.

The atmosphere in the hall was tense, but his arrival broke the tension.

Zhuo Chi, who was unaware of the situation, quickly came to Zhuo Yinsheng and even winked at Yu Lou. However, Gong Tieyan's next words made him unable to blink.

"Yulou, you've been wronged, you've been wronged."

what happened?

Zhuochi really couldn't understand what earth-shaking change he had missed.

Qu Yunjian lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. Yuan Daoshen's face turned pale, while Zhuo Yinsheng was smiling happily.

True Man Jiusheng is dissatisfied with the Yuan family's behavior, so he sends people to clean up the mess!

“Elder Tieyan, it is Yulou’s honor to contribute to the sect.

The sect gave Yulou the method of cultivation and the platform for him to display his abilities.

All the achievements that Yulou has made today are the result of the sect's training.

Yulou has nothing but gratitude, thanksgiving, and infinite respect for the sect, for the immortals in the sect, and for every impartial elder in the sect.

Yulou always believed that no matter what happened, the sect would never mistreat any disciple who shed hard sweat, blood and tears for the sect.

Yulou always believes that when Yulou works hard for the overall interests, unity and prosperity of the sect, the sect will never let me down.

Therefore, Yulou does not feel wronged. "

I obey the management of Master Jiusheng.

But at the same time, I also want to give back and get what I deserve, because Lao Yuan is too bullying!
As long as the sect doesn't wrong me, I won't feel wronged. I will work hard for the sect's overall situation, unity, and prosperity!
Wang Yulou didn't know why Gong Tieyan would help him, but he was sure that Gong Tieyan's words in front of more than a hundred people who had established their foundation in the Dripping Cave were not just pretense.

Elder Tieyan represents the face of True Man Jiusheng. Doing so would make Gong Jiusheng look too clownish—how could he not be clownish if he had to put on airs when dealing with a Qi training disciple?

Seeing that Gong Tieyan stabbed the Yuan family in the back, Wang Yulou stated his offer without hesitation.

What is there to be afraid of? He is not afraid at all!
You, Gong Tieyan, are a disciple of True Man Jiusheng, and I, Wang Yulou, am also a disciple of True Man Mangxiang.

The favor from the ancestor is not easy to obtain, but the Wang family has been following the ancestor for one thousand two hundred years.

We are all cultivators under the Red Lantern System. Now that the Yuan family is bullying me, even if I, Wang Yulou, use the ancestor as a bargaining chip today, the ancestor will not take it to heart!
The Mangxiang Patriarch, Xuanzhuan and Danri are the three real masters of the Mangxiang lineage, and the Dripping Cave has only three real masters!

In the game, the strong and the weak are often blurred.

Yulou's cultivation was not high, but when he stated his asking price firmly and politely, none of the many foundation-building cultivators present dared to underestimate him anymore.

Wang Yulou was very bold in asking for a price, and he dared to ask for a price in front of Gong Tieyan. No smart person would underestimate this hungry attitude, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

Anyone who dares to underestimate Yu Lou is either a big fool like Yuan Wu, or someone who is stubborn and pretentious. There is no third possibility.

"Yulou, you are a little rascal. I listen to you and sweat, bleed, and cry. Why do you have a lot of opinions about the sect?"

Zhuoyinsheng was stunned for a moment. This bastard Gong Tieyan had changed again!
Just now he was stabbing Yuan Daoshen in the back, and now he starts to attack Wang Yulou. What is this?
Just as Yulou was about to answer, a voice came from far away.

"Oh? Who has a big problem with the sect?"

Yulou was unable to ask the rest of the questions because he noticed that everyone, no matter which faction they belonged to, bowed respectfully to greet them. Yulou hurried to follow suit.

The lingering sound of the words was still echoing in the deep hall, and then a red light shot into the hall and landed on the shell held in the hands of the Immortal Venerable.

"Okay, I heard the chime and came over to see who you just said had a lot of complaints about the sect?"

The person who came was a translucent girl, who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was dressed in a red cassock, with skin as white as jade. Her eyes were full of depth, and her expression was lively and smart.

The translucent nature of the piece made Yulou a little dazed, but Zhuoyinsheng's words brought him back to reality.

"Master, Wang Yulou, a disciple of the Bishui Palace who was born in the Wang family of Anbei, actually wanted to kill Yuan Daoshen, the first foundation-building master of our Dripping Water Cave, outside Dripping Water Heaven. We are currently trying the case!"

Lao Zhuo is capable and he delivered the knife at the speed of light, and also pointed out that Yulou has a background.

True Person Hongli may not understand that the Wang family of Anbei State is from the Mangxiang lineage, but when Zhuoyinsheng mentioned it, she naturally understood that Wang Yulou had a background.

Knowing that it was Master Hongli in person, Yulou finally understood why he was stunned just now.

The feeling given to him by True Person Hongli was quite different from that given by Danri. For some reason, these two True Persons both looked like young girls.

However, while Zhenren Danri looks like a little chubby girl, Zhenren Hongli is different. She is flawless, with skin as white as ice and bones as beautiful as jade. Although she looks young, she is already extremely beautiful.

Of course, Yulou only dared to keep this comparison in her heart and would never tell anyone else about it.

How wonderful it is to be the True Man Danri. I am grateful, touched, and thankful. Yulou respects him very much.

"Okay, okay, Xiao Yuan, you've made a lot of progress over the years. You're getting younger and younger, and you can even get along well with the disciples of the Bishui Palace. Hahahaha, interesting, really interesting."

The pair of red lips of Master Hongli are indeed extraordinary. Not only do they look beautiful, but what they say also sounds better.

"A lot of progress"

"Younger and Younger"

"Getting Along with the Disciples of the Bishui Palace"

There wasn't a single swear word in the speech, it was very respectful and powerful, but Yu Lou felt comfortable hearing it.

In Yuan Mansion, he was bullied by Yuan Daoshen, and in Dishuitianwai, he was taken sides by Qu Yunjian many times. These two bastards are so disrespectful to their elders.

Gong Tieyan was even more weird. He first stabbed Lao Yuan in the back, then criticized himself. His attitude was unpredictable and Yulou was completely confused.

Now that True Man Hongli is here, justice will be done in Yulou!
“When I was a little demon, I would always avoid big demons.

Wang Yulou, you have such strength and courage, it's not simple.

Come, tell me how you murdered our Dishuitian's number one foundation builder, tell me in detail!"

True Man Hongli is a demon general, analogous to Zifu, and similar to General Baixu of Fulong Temple and Tianshe of Tianshe Sect, who are also true men while remaining in the form of demons in their sects.

"Real person, me."

Yuan Daoshen wanted to argue that it was a misunderstanding, but was interrupted by Hongli.

"Let Wang Yulou speak first. Xiao Yuan, don't worry. I'm here. Wang Yulou can't hurt you!"

As expected of a real person, as expected of a real person, again and again a critical hit.

"With me here, Wang Yulou can't hurt you"

Is this love?
No, it was humiliation, repeated humiliation, high-intensity humiliation, pleasurable humiliation.

I, Hongli, can’t do anything to Gong Jiusheng, so how can I not deal with you, Yuan Daoshen?
Besides, Gong Jiusheng can’t come now, maybe you don’t know?
"Master, Yulou came to attend the audience with Elder Meng Yao. He sent a huge hand with spiritual energy towards me. I was terribly scared at that time.

Elder Daoshen is the first one to establish a foundation in the Dripping Water Cave, and he has an unknown aversion to me. Frightened, Yulou hurriedly activated the formless sword talisman worth 50,000 spirit stones given by the clan's ancestor Jingyi, who taught the true story of the Red Lantern, in order to protect himself.

So, Elder Daoshen said that I wanted to kill him, and added that it was a great crime for a disciple to commit a crime against his superiors and bring disaster to the sect.

Ancestor Jingyi gave two sword talismans worth at least 50,000 spirit stones, one for resisting the attack of the iron crocodile dragon, and one for... That's all, Sect Leader Qu said that sect unity is more important, and Yulou pleaded guilty.

I only hope that after the sect has crushed Yulou's bones and scattered them into ashes, they can return Yulou's ashes to the Anbei Wang family. Yulou wants to be buried in Wangjiashan."

Yulou cried as she spoke, and finally accepted the blame voluntarily as if she accepted her fate.

There are three key points: I used two talismans worth 50,000 spirit stones, Yuan Daoshen put a accusation on me, and Qu Yunjian ganged up on me.

Real man, I give you three knives, please choose one to make the decision.

Of course, it would be better if you could choose from all of them.

Yuan Daoshen's eyes turned red and his teeth were almost broken with hatred.

You are really good at pretending!

Wang Yulou, you are really good at pretending!

In fact, this can be considered as tit-for-tat. Yuan Daoshen bullied Wang Yulou before, and now Wang Yulou bites him back. He has no right to blame Yulou at all.

However, Master Hongli's focus is different from what everyone, yes, everyone, thinks.

"You mean, you and a girl from the Xiaolin family are going to become a Taoist couple?" asked Taoist Master Hongli.

Wang Yulou was so surprised that she didn't have time to continue crying. Instead, she accidentally blew out a snot bubble, which was very funny.

what?
Real person?

You. Well, this is what the elders are like—Wang Yulou tried to understand.

"Yes, but I didn't expect that before she could marry Senior Sister Lin, Yulou would make her a widow.

It's all Yulou's fault for being too reckless. He shouldn't have used a sword talisman worth 50,000 spirit stones to resist Elder Yuan's capture."

Master, you don’t have to use those two swords, but the sect must at least replenish some of the talismans that I used!

Otherwise I would feel really wronged!
The situation was now too complicated, and Yulou didn't dare to tell anyone about the Iron Crocodile Dragon - he was afraid that the consequences would get out of control, so he had to settle for the second best and just give up the sword talisman.

Other minor matters can be taken care of slowly, but the loss of the two sword talismans and the spiritual charm of the spiritual weapon must be returned.

"I remember that you married two concubines some time ago, and now you have married a Taoist partner. As a cultivator, you should focus on cultivation and not indulge in women. Do you understand?"

However, Master Hongli continued teaching as if he had not heard Yulou's words.

"Yulou understands, I understand. I will never marry a Taoist partner again. I will use all the spiritual stones I have on cultivation and improve my cultivation as soon as possible!"

Wang Yulou emphasized the spirit stone for the third time. It can be said that all the foundation-building elders present, as long as they had brains and were still breathing, understood what he meant.

This was not Yulou forcing Zhenren to express his opinion. After all, his request was completely reasonable and extremely appropriate.

The Yuan family first sent the Iron Crocodile to attack Hewan Port, trying to destroy Yulou's foundation for development in the Dripping Cave, and then forced Wang Yulou to protect himself with sword talismans, which was really a bully.

Everyone understands it, and real people naturally understand it too.

“Hahaha, okay, no need to emphasize the sword talisman worth 50,000 spirit stones. Two talismans worth 100,000 spirit stones. I have calculated it clearly.

Xiao Yuan, you guys are in such a mess, I don't think even if Brother Jiusheng comes, he will stand by you.

It's nothing more than 100,000 spirit stones, so if I lose it, I lose it."

There are many things that Wang Yulou or Zhuo Yinsheng dare not say, but the real person can say it. The meaning of the real person Hongli is very clear. Everyone knows that the Yuan family raised an iron alligator dragon. If compensation is due, it should be paid. There is no point in making unreasonable demands.

It is impossible that the first foundation-building person in the Dripping Cave was killed by practicing Qi. Even the talisman that Wang Yulou used to hang the seal could not kill him. It is completely untrue to put this blame on Wang Yulou.

Having said that, Hongli looked at Yulou again and spoke in a gentle voice.

“After Xiao Yuan gives you 100,000 spirit stones, you should stop taking risks.

Your cultivation is not high. If Xiao Yuan goes crazy and kills you suddenly, it will be too late for you to reason with me even if you want to.

Even if I kill Xiao Yuan to avenge you, you won't survive."

What if Xiao Yuan suddenly kills you?

Even if I kill Xiao Yuan, I will avenge you

Xiao Yuan just looked at Gong Tieyan with resentment.

Lao Gong, please say something!

Lao Gong, why don’t you speak?

Lao Gong, say something!

However, Lao Gong just lowered his head silently without saying a word.

"Xiao Yuan, do you think one hundred thousand spirit stones are too many? If not, we can have less, ninety-nine thousand eight will be fine." Hongli asked.

It seems that Master Hongli’s kindness has not been repaid.

Yulou was a little distressed. There were already three real people behind Wang, and now he had hooked up with another one, making a total of four.

I can’t serve four people enough.

It can be said that this is a happy distress.

"Dao Shen obeys the Immortal's decree!"

Yuan Daoshen regretted it deeply. As the leader of the faction, he could not easily bow his head, so he used extreme pressure to force Wang Yulou to accept his conditions.

But Wang Yulou was too young, and he could never have imagined that Wang Yulou would actually have a falling out with him.

The situation continued to escalate, and when Master Hongli stepped forward to restore order, the dignity of the Yuan family and the dignity of the faction leaders were gone.

If he had known this earlier, he would have negotiated with Wang Yulou himself, and perhaps he could have negotiated a price of 70,000 or 80,000 coins.

"Okay, you guys go away, Yulou you stay"

Hongli took sides and solved Yulou's troubles at the speed of light. Then he wanted to chase them away and seemed to want to have a talk with Yulou alone.

Just when Yulou was full of confusion, a familiar voice sounded, but the voice was full of anger.

"Yuan Daoshen, you old thief! You are going too far!"

Wang Xianzhou came, although he was late, but the ancestor's love for Yulou will never change.

He learned from the disciple sent by Zhuoyinsheng to inform him that Yulou had drawn his sword against Yuan Daoshen in Dishuitian, and he realized that Old Yuan must have forced Yulou into a corner.

With Wang Yulou's calm and peaceful character, he would not have made the conflict with the Yuan family public if he had no other choice.

Therefore, he came to the Dishuitian Palace with such a fierce attitude.

The goal is to escalate the situation. We cannot just accompany the Zhuo family in fighting the Yuan family at the level of Dishuitian. We must at least go to the level of the Immortal Alliance.

Wang Xianzhou has someone in the Immortal Alliance!
His close friends might not be giants in the Immortal Alliance, but they were also core members of the new generation of the Immortal Alliance. As long as Wang Xianzhou swallowed his pride and begged for mercy, Wang Yulou and Wang Xianzhou, who were in the right, would naturally not lose.

If they fight against the Yuan family in the Dripping Cave, they might lose, but if they fight against the Yuan family in the Immortal Alliance, at least they will not lose - there are still many possibilities of winning.

As for the solution at the red light level, this is too risky. Qu Yunjian’s threat is an example. Wang Yulou and Wang Xianzhou also put this at the end from the beginning.

It can be said that whether it was Wang Yulou drawing his sword to fight Yuan Daoshen fiercely, or Wang Xianzhou's angry and fierce scolding at this time, they were all rational decisions after various considerations, not made rashly.

For example, when Wang Yulou was attacking Yuan Daoshen, he only said that Yuan Daoshen accused him of being a "fourth-level Qi practitioner who intended to kill the first foundation-building practitioner in the Dripping Water Cave". He did not mention the Iron Crocodile Dragon's attack on Hewan Port at all. The only time he mentioned it was to emphasize the sword talisman that was consumed by the crocodile dragon.

For example, Wang Xianzhou started by cursing Yuan Daoshen and directly called him an old thief. It seemed dangerous and reckless, but the old ancestor was a member of the Dishuitian Walker of the Immortal Alliance, which belonged to Wu Jinyan, the supervisory deacon - and was not in the same system as Yuan Daoshen.

The actions of the grandparents and grandchildren were just to fight for their rightful interests, nothing more.

Lao Yuan's extreme pressure was also to preserve his dignity as the leader of his faction and the first person to build a foundation in the Dripping Cave.

This kind of conflict caused by interests can be said to be unsolvable. It is inevitable when Yulou develops to a certain stage, so making the conflict public becomes the best choice.

"Ancestor, Master Hongli has come forward and has resolved the issue. The Yuan family will pay 100,000 spirit stones as compensation."

Wang Yulou was now transmitting his voice. Everyone present was at the foundation-building stage, so they could naturally notice that he was transmitting his voice to Wang Xianzhou.

Yuan Daoshen lowered his head, his nails digging into the flesh.

Wang Yulou, have you forgotten the upright principle of not passing on secrets taught by Patriarch Mangxiang?

The old bastard may have suffered a great loss and lost all his face. He completely ignored the facts and just wanted to deceive himself and give himself a reason that he lost not because he was too bad but because Yulou was too bad.

"Xianzhou, the walking king of the Immortal Alliance's Dripping Water Cave, pays homage to the Immortal. Xianzhou just made a slip of the tongue!"

Patriarch Xian Zhou came with the determination to fight Yuan Daoshen, but he did not expect that True Man Hongli would help Yulou to uphold justice, so he hurriedly bowed before the Immortal Venerable's image.

However, Master Hongli's next words made everyone uneasy.

"Get up, come here and let me see your injuries."

This is not favor, but great favor. It is definitely not given to Wang Yulou or Wang Xianzhou, but to Master Mangxiang.

So, can the golden elixir of Patriarch Mangxiang really succeed?

Everyone, including Yulou, felt nervous.

The elders left with heavy hearts, and Yulou and Patriarch Xianzhou stayed in the hall.

The red carp flew out of the shell and landed in front of Wang Xianzhou.

Wang Xianzhou hurriedly knelt down. Hongli shook his head, put his hand on his forehead, and asked after a moment.

"Sure enough, has Zifu already looked at it for you?"

"Xuan Zhuan Zhenren once said that the foundation of the Zhou Dao has been shattered, and it is impossible to build a foundation again."

Hongli nodded and said.

"Senior Brother Xuanzhuan is right. Go ahead. I want to talk to Wang Yulou alone."

Wang Xianzhou kowtowed three more times, and then left with a normal expression.

Not knowing why the immortal wanted to keep him for a talk, Yulou felt a little bit excited, but more nervous.

Every Zifu is an immortal who is separated from the foundation-building stage by a chasm. It is not difficult for them to live for ten thousand years. How can such a Zifu immortal not be terrifying?

"Wang Yulou, do you know why the Yuan family sent the Iron Crocodile to Hewan Fishing Port?" asked the fairy in red.

"Reporting to the Immortal, Yulou does not know."

Wang Yulou really didn't know that Yuan Daoshen seemed to have been infected by Yuan Wu. The two had no grudges against each other, but they were determined to harm him. What could he do?

“In fact, I don’t know either. Or rather, no one knows what Gong Jiusheng is thinking.

But you don’t have to worry, I’m here for you. Just focus on your practice in Dishuitian and strive to build your foundation as soon as possible.

One hundred thousand spirit stones should be enough for you to cultivate to the foundation-building stage."

In Hongli's words, he directly called Gong Jiusheng's name, and it was not the first time. Just now he called him Fellow Daoist Jiusheng.

Yulou remembered, however, that the three of them were all disciples of the Immortal Master Disciple of Water, and should address them by their master's title.

Is it because they fought too hard that their long-term relationship was so bad?
With the real person in front of him, Yulou didn't dare to think too much and responded.

"Yes, that's enough!"

Hongli smiled and touched Yulou's brow, and a red seal was imprinted on his brow.

"This seal can help you calm your mind. Matters between men and women will delay your cultivation. Wang Yulou, build your foundation as soon as possible. Build your foundation as soon as possible."

When Wang Yulou woke up from the dizziness brought by the red seal, Master Hongli had already left, leaving only his lingering sound on the beams of the Dishuitian Hall.

Touching the red seal on his head, Yulou felt a little confused.

Hongli was not only incredibly kind to him, she took care of him to the utmost.

They helped him collect debts, sought justice for him, and supported him.

Is it all for the sake of the ancestor's face?
It’s hard to say. Yulou always feels that Hongli’s purpose is not that simple.

The Dripping Heaven Hall was unusually quiet. This was the core place of the Dripping Cave, and there were always disciples coming here to pay homage to the Immortal Lord.

At this moment, standing in the empty hall, Yulou felt a sense of fear, the fear of being swept away by an unknown fate.

He walked up to the Immortal Lord’s statue and looked at it, feeling mixed emotions.

After paying homage earnestly, Yulou stood up and left.

The Immortal Master might still be alive, and the possibility is extremely high. This was the information revealed to him by Ancestor Jingyi.

True Man Hongli, who is so biased towards him today, is the disciple of the Immortal Lord.

Therefore, always be respectful to the Immortal Lord.

You won't suffer any loss if you pay your respects, right?

At the Yuan Mansion, Yuan Daoshen suppressed his anger and questioned Gong Tieyan.

"Gong Tieyan, what are you doing today?"

Just because Gong Tieyan is the direct descendant of Gong Jiusheng's family doesn't mean Yuan Daoshen will be afraid of him.

In the mind of the real person, there is no distinction between family and disciples anymore.

The moon doesn't care about the waxing and waning, the immortal doesn't care about the sufferings of the world, Wang Yulou doesn't care whether his subordinates are loyal or not, and the immortal Jiusheng doesn't care whether the people working for him are of his blood or not.

"Old Yuan, who gave you the courage to attack Wang Yulou?"

Gong Tieyan was also very angry. He came today to seek justice for Wang Yulou for the simple reason that Yuan Daoshen had gone too far.

That's why he backstabbed Lao Yuan in the beginning, and later he threatened Yulou just to lower the price.

Unfortunately, Master Hongli suddenly appeared and disrupted his plans.

"The Anbei Wang family sent their eldest son into the Dripping Water Cave with great fanfare. Why? Isn't it just to tear a piece of meat from the cave?
If they eat one more bite, we will eat one less bite. Real people will eat one less bite!
I’m helping real people!”

Old Yuan was calculating that Wang Yulou might snatch the spot for the Purple Mansion of the Dripping Cave in the future, as his cultivation was improving too fast and he was also very young.

What worried Old Yuan the most was that Wang did not accept his solicitation, but instead played the game of waiting for a good price in the marriage.

Wang Yulou dared to do this when he was at the fourth level of Qi training. How domineering will he be when his cultivation level is higher?

By then, when he scrambles for the Purple Mansion spot, he may be too old or even dead. How should the Yuan family deal with it?
It can be said that Yuan Daoshen did not have even the slightest regret, because, judging from the fact that Master Hongli supported Wang Yulou and took sides, his guess was actually correct!
"Do you know that Master Mangxiang wants to achieve the Golden Elixir?"

Facing Gong Tieyan's stern question, Yuan Daoshen replied unnaturally.

"Of course I know this, but Wang Yulou is just a son of the Wang family, not a son of the Mangxiang family, and the Wang family is just a vassal of the Mangxiang family."

Seeing that Yuan Daoshen was finally afraid, Gong Tieyan continued to explain in a low voice.

“Master Mangxiang has no family. The ancestor asked me to stop you because this is a critical moment for Master Mangxiang.

If things get out of hand, the ancestor won't be able to protect you!"

Old Yuan was so overwhelmed with the opportunity of Yuan's future Purple Mansion that he even dared to tell Wang Yulou that the founder's golden elixir might not be successful, which shows his arrogance and greed.

"In fact, they have already given in. Wang Yulou didn't even dare to mention the matter of the Iron Crocodile Dragon. Junior Brother Tieyan, you also heard about it."

The dynamic changes of the game are quite complicated. Before the arrival of Hongli, Wang Yulou had some points of persistence and some points of giving up.

"You only saw Wang Yulou surrender, but you don't understand how terrifying Mang Xiang is.

Dao Shen, the ancestor told me that Mang Xiang Zhenren lived for two thousand years. Do you know what a two thousand year old purple mansion is?"

Yuan Daoshen didn't dare to speak nonsense.

"I hope my junior brother will teach me."

With visible awe on his face, Gong Tieyan said in a deep voice.

"The ancestor said, 'Mang Xiang did not achieve the Golden Core because his cultivation was sufficient, but because he could no longer delay.'"

These words were a bit complicated and Yuan Daoshen didn't understand them at first. After thinking about them carefully, he finally understood what they meant. He asked in disbelief.

"Master Mangxiang's life span is 2,000 years. What kind of life span is he talking about?"

Seeing that he finally understood, Gong Tieyan stopped showing off and nagging and told him everything directly.

"Master Mangxiang is at least two thousand years old, and he is a great cultivator from the same era as the Immortal Venerable.

He had been active between heaven and earth tens of thousands of years ago. At that time, there was not even the Red Lantern Society and the Immortal Alliance.

So, at the moment when Mangxiang Zhenren was achieving the Golden Elixir, you caused a big disturbance that might be related to him, and the ancestor was very unhappy.

Senior Brother Daoshen, please mend your relationship with Wang Yulou, hey."

The lifespan of Zifu is more than 700 years. If he relies on the cave to avoid the destruction of heaven and earth, he can theoretically live for tens of thousands of years.

But Patriarch Mangxiang managed to extend his life to at least two thousand years, and lived from the time when the Immortal Lord Dripping Water was active in the world to the time when the Immortal Lord Dripping Water was no longer in the world.

Only such a strong man can train two Purple Mansion disciples.

Now that the tough guy is trying to achieve the Golden Elixir, you, Yuan Daoshen, are poking at the weaknesses of his vassal family, the Wang family. Aren't you courting death?
True Man Jiusheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he sent Gong Tieyan to teach Yuan Daoshen a lesson and at the same time give instructions to Yulou.

After all, it was because the ancestor's power was too great. Although it made the Wang family miserable, it also made the other Purple Mansions fearful.

"I'll try my best to repair the relationship. Hey, Junior Brother Tieyan, you don't know that I have actually promised to compensate Wang Yulou with a lot of things, but he asked for a lot, and I was forced to do so."

"Brother Daoshen, so why did you send the Iron Crocodile Dragon to attack the Hewan Fishing Port?"

Yuan Daoshen stopped talking.

To help real people solve their problems?
Forget it, we are not Yuan Wu.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Gong Tieyan snorted coldly and left Yuan's house.

Yuan Daoshen leaned back in his chair, wiping his spiritual weapon with a piece of golden sable skin. He sat there silently for a long time, until the fake moon set and the fake sun rose.

Outside the Dishuitian Palace, seeing Yulou coming out, Patriarch Xianzhou hurried forward.

"The Lin family will contribute a minor share, and the Yuan family will contribute the major share. Yulou, the resources you received this time are enough for you to practice for at least ten years! All the way to the late stage of Qi training!" the old ancestor said excitedly.

No one can get rich without unexpected fortune. Now, the materials from the crocodile's corpse have been saved. Under the pressure from Master Hongli, Old Yuan has no intention of getting involved. It is no problem to earn tens of thousands of spirit stones from these materials.

Lin Ying's dowry and Yuan's reimbursement for the two sword talismans added up to another 120,000 spirit stones.

Although this gamble involved some risks for the grandparents, the rewards were totally worth it.

"Grandmaster, you calculated wrongly. This is enough for me to reach the foundation-building stage."

Yulou reminded the ancestor with a smile.

Wang Xianzhou was puzzled at first, and then laughed out loud.

"Yes, yes, I am getting old and confused."

It is not difficult to calculate the balance of income and expenditure in spiritual practice. Just figure out the total amount and expenditure, and then add the income, and you will be almost there.

In his excitement just now, Wang Xianzhou forgot that Yulou and he had income from time to time.

One hundred and twenty thousand spirit stones are only enough for Yulou to cultivate to the late stage of Qi training, but if combined with the usual income, Yulou's road to foundation building will be smooth!
"Besides, Old Ancestor, the Yuan family may not give it to us. The conflict between us and the Yuan family has been made clear. With Elder Daoshen's temperament, he would not be himself if he didn't make trouble."

"But, old ancestor, don't you think that Master Hongli is too kind to us, grandfather and grandson?"

After the two of them left Dishuitian, Yulou plotted against Yuan Gouzei while secretly communicating with the ancestor.

"How dare he not give it to me! If he doesn't, I will go to the gate of Yuan's house and make trouble every day. I am a member of the Immortal Alliance, and he can't do anything to me!"

"Be careful, Yulou, it was Master Hongli who chose us. This is our chance, you must seize it!"

Within the rules, Yuan Daoshen had no way to deal with Wang Xianzhou.

But Master Hongli is the one who makes the rules, and when she extends her olive branch, Wang Yulou must accept it respectfully.

Once upon a time, when he was still a little Qi-inducing being, he had the right to choose.

Now, under the witness of all the foundation-building practitioners, he has gained the favor of True Man Hongli. It can be said that he is already on the fast lane leading to the great road.

However, Yulou also lost the power to choose.

Some people may wonder, if it is obviously a good thing, why should we worry about the so-called "right to choose"?
Because there is no such thing as unwarranted favoritism in the world.

When a true person favors someone, that person can hold the olive branch and ascend to heaven.

But when the favor disappears, as fast as it goes up, it will go down as fast.

On the other hand, Hongli's favoritism also has other costs. For example, the hatred between Wang Yulou and Yuan family will never be resolved.

The Anbei Wang family has enemies in the Red Lantern Palace, and now they also have enemies in the Dripping Cave.

These are all the costs - of course, the 100,000 spirit stones that Yulou got were worth it, even if there was a cost.
