Shangyuque

Chapter 124: Stand up, don't kneel, thunder strikes from the ground! (1.03W)

After informing Xiao Qin and asking her to tell the ancestor that he had been 'invited away' by the Dongtian patrol team, Yulou followed the Dongtian patrol team straight up to Dishuitian.

To get around in a sect, one must have influence and strength. With Wang Yulou's current power, he can break the rules, but he still has to give face to the sect leader.

Although Chu Hongyi is a dull guy, he is the nominal leader of the Dripping Cave after all - even though he cannot make any important decisions.

To put it bluntly, he is the product of a compromise between Wang Yulou and Yuan Daoshen after a fierce conflict broke out between them. For him to have the position of the head, Elder Chu has to thank Wang Yulou!
If Wang Yulou is the pioneer of the anti-Yuan movement in Dripping Cave, then Chu Hongyi is a rubber stamp. It is hard to say who has a higher actual status in the sect.

His only advantage over Wang Yulou was his higher cultivation level, but Wang Yulou had people behind him, a group of people.

The most recent one is Elder Lin Mengyao, who married Lin Ying. Elder Mengyao is the elder of Yulou, and the Lin family is considered one of the many factions in the Dripping Cave that resisted Yuan.

A little further away is the Zhuo family. Yulou is a partner in the anti-Yuan alliance. Elder Yinsheng of the Zhuo family is the leader of Yulou, not some Chu Hongyi.

Yulou had also stood on the highest level and was the successor of the Hongli lineage who was personally certified by Hongli Zhenren.

If you want to deal with Wang Yulou, only Master Jiusheng can do it.

But it is not easy for Master Jiusheng either, because the Dripping Cave is a vassal sect of the Red Lantern Sect, and the Anbei Wang family, the family from which Yulou came, is the slave of Mangxiang, the current leader of the Red Lantern Sect, and has been serving him like a slave for a thousand years.

In Journey to the West, Monkey King traveled westward with four precious objects. No matter how many monsters he encountered, he would not dare to attack any monster as long as it was his leader's mount. This is a critical and dialectical way of subduing monsters.

You know, the Great Sage once overthrew the Heavenly Palace, but once he entered the system, he had to abide by the rules.

With Wang Jingyi's support and Hongli's help, Yulou, as the direct descendant of the Wang family, can actually be regarded as Mangxiang's reserve calf.

He was in the Dripping Cave on a temporary basis to gain experience. As long as he didn't go too far and was a little careful about his eating manners, he could move around the Dripping Cave with ease.

The fact that Gong Tieyan did not help Lao Yuan but helped Wang Yulou instead was an example - even Master Jiusheng did not want to offend Mang Xiang.

Therefore, Yulou did not ask Patriarch Xianzhou to come to the rescue, but only reminded Patriarch Xianzhou that if he did not return for a long time, he should ask Lin Mengyao to come out for a walk.

That’s about it. Wang Yulou didn’t believe that Chu Hongyi would dare to do anything to him.

The Dongtian patrol team sent Wang Yulou to the outside of the master's hall and then stopped.

Yulou entered the courtyard of the master's hall of the Dripping Cave in Dripping Sky alone. In the reception hall on the left side in front of the main hall, he met the worried-looking Wu Faxian.

"Old Wu, what's going on? You don't look happy."

Seeing that Wang Yulou was calm, Old Wu smiled bitterly.

"Yulou, it's only been a few years and you've been targeted. You know, I only took a little. If the head of the sect..."

Wang Yulou criticized with an unhappy look on his face.

"What do you mean by being targeted? Look at what you said. Running water never rots, and door hinges never rot. As disciples of the Green Water Palace, we like to communicate more with our fellow disciples for the sake of cultivation. What's wrong with that?
If you dare to do it, you should take the responsibility. Besides, you haven't done anything wrong, so why should you be afraid of the sect's questioning?"

Old Wu was so scared that his face turned pale and he kept saying.

"Yulou, Yulou, that's not what I meant, it's just..."

He wanted to explain, but after explaining over and over again, he got stuck and in the end, he didn't say anything tactful.

In his heart, Wang Yulou was already very disappointed with Old Wu's performance.

In the past, he thought that Old Wu was the kind of person who had a wide range of friends, a quick mind, and the courage to think and act. But now it seems that he is just greedy when it comes to benefits and afraid of risks. His previous shortsightedness has finally been exposed today.

He is not fit for important tasks and is far inferior to Wang Yaohai.

Yes, Wang Yaohai also hesitated, but he hesitated when Yulou made the request, which showed that he was clear-headed. In the end, he agreed. Yulou felt at ease to have such a person as his subordinate.

Where is Old Wu?
I was full of ambition when I agreed to work together and join as a scapegoat, but now that the time has come, no, it hasn't really come yet, but I've already peed my pants.

Such a person cannot be considered a good talent!
A female Qigong practitioner wearing Bishui Palace robes walked into the side hall and said to the two of them with a smile.

"Two senior brothers, please go to the main hall. The headmaster and the elders are waiting for you."

Seeing the female cultivator smile, Yulou understood that nothing serious would happen today. He stood up calmly and walked ahead with the gait of a dragon or a tiger.

Old Wu followed closely behind. He thought that Wang Yulou was really nice as he actually took the initiative to walk in front.

However, when he reached the entrance of the hall, Yulou stopped and turned his head to look at Old Wu.

Wu Faxian was confused at first, then bewildered, and finally, as if accepting his fate, he took the initiative to walk in.

He took away hundreds of spirit stones, but didn't want to take responsibility when something went wrong. That was a nice thought.

The female cultivator felt a little admiration when she saw Old Wu entering the master's hall with chattering teeth, while Wang Yulou entered behind him without changing his expression.

I don’t know whether I envy Wang Yulou’s power or admire his demeanor.

If I could form a Taoist partner with a male cultivator like this.
Unfortunately, his Taoist partner has already been decided, and that is Lin Ying from the Lin family, a well-known female cultivator in the Dripping Cave, and a Cave Flower-level existence.
-
Following Wu Faxian into the main hall, the two were greeted by a barrage of scolding from an elder.

"You two are so bold! You even dare to disregard the sect's laws. Wu Faxian, tell me, what exactly is going on with that exchange meeting?"

Old Wu was speechless with trembling legs, while Yulou looked at the leader in the hall thoughtfully.

Finally, he met the current leader of the Dripping Cave.

Old Chu looks similar to Elder Zhuochi Zhuo, short, fat and round, but he looks older than Zhuochi, with a haggard look between his eyebrows.

Those who know him clearly know that he is the leader of the Dripping Cave, while those who don’t think he is some frustrated cultivator.

Compared to the discomfort of Sect Leader Chu, the six foundation-building elders in front of him and on both sides of the hall were much more relaxed, and each of them looked sage-like and righteous.

However, just after the elder who spoke finished speaking, another elder beside him turned his head and reminded him.

"That's the Lin family's uncle."

The elder who had started the scolding hadn't responded yet and was puzzled.

"What is the son-in-law of the Lin family? Huh?"

The elder who reminded him nodded again.

"Wang, the one with Dao Shen."

"what?"

The elder who had just scolded Wang Yulou suddenly felt uneasy. He quickly forced a smile on his face and looked at Yulou.

"Yulou, I was mainly criticizing Wu Faxian for being lawless, not your opinion."

But Wang Yulou ignored him, because he had noticed that in front of Chu Hongyi, the three people on the left were pro-Zhuo faction, and the three people on the right were pro-Yuan faction.

The person who just spoke is sitting on the right.

It doesn’t matter if the pro-Yuan elders don’t know me and have opinions about me. I’ll just let them be.

"Wu Faxian, holding a communication meeting is a minor issue, but it is a serious crime to lead the sect's promising disciples astray. Do you know your crime?"

Chu Hongyi finally spoke, which was considered a conclusion.

Communicating in the Dharma Assembly is a minor offense, and the punishment is two cups of wine. For major offenses, Wang Yulou has the final say, that’s it.

As a product of compromise between the two factions, there is only so much he can do.

Under the pressure of the gazes of the seven foundation-building masters, Old Wu immediately knelt down, but with Yulou beside him, he did not dare to say anything and just kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Wang Yulou couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

It's really outrageous. Old Wu is just a waste, complete waste.

The situation was originally fine, but you knelt like that. Damn it, you ruined the business that I worked so hard to build!

The Communication Dharma Assembly is related to Wang Yulou's future influence in the Dripping Cave. After he walks out of the Dripping Cave, as long as his cultivation level increases fast enough and his power and influence are great enough, he, Wang Yulou, will be regarded as the leader of the Communication Dharma Assembly.

To put it bluntly, Yulou proposed a concept, namely the communication Dharma Assembly, which in practice played a certain role in facilitating fellow disciples.

It doesn't matter whether other people believe in this idea or whether they will always believe in it. What matters is that Yulou, as the initiator of this idea and agenda, can use this banner to gather people who are willing to approach it.

In the future, when Yulou reaches a higher level, this special, non-regional, and non-personally dependent banner of ideas can help Yulou obtain continuous support from the Dripping Cave, all kinds of support.

But after Wu Faxian knelt like this, the banner of the Dharma Exchange Conference was covered in dust.

waste!

Wang Yulou took a deep breath and started to fight.

"Old Wu, stand up, don't kneel."

Thunder on the ground.

Yulou's words caused the Dripping Cave's leader's hall to fall into silence.

Stand up, don't kneel.

As a disciple of the Bishui Palace, Wang Yulou said things that ordinary elders would not easily say.

Ignoring the astonished Old Wu and paying no attention to the puzzled looks of the elders, Yulou raised his hand and used his spiritual energy to summon a chair, placing it directly opposite Chu Hongyi.

Then, Wang Yulou sat down.

What Wu Faxian knelt for was the power of foundation building, what he knelt for was the law of the sect.

Yulou said that not letting him kneel represented his authority in building the foundation and defying the sect's laws.

Sitting opposite the headmaster at this moment also reveals his attitude.

Don’t bully me or act like a superior. I, Wang Yulou, am qualified to sit at the table!

Where the interests lie, Wang Yulou cannot retreat.

"Wang Yulou, what do you mean? There is no place for you to sit here."

The elder of the Yuan faction who had scolded the two people at the beginning stood up and pointed at Wang Yulou's nose and scolded him.

"It would be good to let him sit down and talk. Let's talk nicely and don't get angry." Chu Hongyi spoke first before the Zhuo faction counterattacked.

Stop fighting, let’s not make a fuss and discuss a solution.

"Why is there no seat for me here? What's the rule of the Dripping Water Cave that says that disciples of the Green Water Palace cannot sit in the master's hall?"

While rules protect the majority, they can also be seen from another dimension as a tool to restrict and exploit the weak.

Given Wang Yulou's current position in the Dripping Cave, he can view the rules as his tools.

Man is the sum of social relations.

Cultivators who have not become immortals are also part of the social order of the immortal world.

Allies through marriage, factional relationships, the big boss's selection and attention, and the connections under the red light of the higher-level unit, all of these combined make up the present Wang Yulou.

Therefore, at this moment, he did not use the sect rules as a banner, but said that he was qualified to interpret the sect rules.

"Okay, okay, the rules of the Dripping Water Cave also state that when disciples of the Green Water Palace see the elders, they must pay their respects. Come, Wang Yulou, our three elders are here, come and pay your respects!"

The elder who was scolding others laughed angrily and said in a cold voice, he was sure that Wang Yulou wanted to use the sect rules to get away with it, so he could use the sect rules to pressure Wang Yulou.

However.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

"Don't bother with this."

His two teammates were the first to express different opinions.

Please don't represent us, bro. Please don't, please!

You just returned from a mission outside the cave and took over the position of the sect's assistant elder. You don't know Wang Yulou and don't understand the entanglement between Wang Yulou and Lao Yuan.

But we know and we understand.

You are not afraid, we are.

Talented people emerge from the Dripping Cave in every generation, and the old foundation is replaced by the new one.

We are certainly not afraid of ordinary Bishui Palace disciples, but Wang Yulou is likely to replace the old foundation with the future foundation.

We bully the old but not the young. If you want someone to bow to us, then let them do so, but we don’t dare to bully others.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, I said our exchange Dharma meeting was going well, how come we were suddenly invited to the Bishui Palace by the Dongtian Patrol Team? It turns out that it was your Yuan family who caused this trouble.

Elder, Yulou is honored. Now, can I take a seat?"

Wang Yulou emphasized the sect rules because he wanted to emphasize that he had the ability to interpret and utilize the sect rules.

The elder who started the argument was just arguing about the sect rules in order to bully Wang Yulou because of his low level of cultivation. This became a joke after Wang Yulou bowed according to the sect rules.

Face is something you earn yourself. It will not disappear because of courtesy, nor will it increase because of high standards of courtesy.

".snort!"

The elder was blocked by Yu Lou and was speechless. He could only snort coldly to express his dissatisfaction.

But Yulou didn't care.

Your dissatisfaction has no value.

You cannot be the master of the Yuan family, but I can be the master of the exchange meeting. Therefore, I can go all out to regain my own interests in this local game!

"Uncle Chu, the exchange meeting is just an activity for disciples to exchange their cultivation experiences. This is no secret. There are thousands of people participating in the exchange meeting, including disciples from Huachi Palace, Bishui Palace, and even Qingquan Palace.

Uncle Master invited Yulou to come. Yulou thought that Uncle Master wanted to reward Yulou for his contribution in promoting his fellow disciples' practice, but he did not expect that Uncle Master was finding fault, challenging and criticizing Yulou.

Yulou doesn't know which sect rule has been violated by communicating with the Dharma?"

I worked so hard to organize the exchange Dharma Assembly, which activated the space for disciples to communicate with each other and accelerated their cultivation. However, the sect did not reward me, but instead convicted me.

Even if Wu Faxian is convicted, and only for a minor crime, I will not accept it!

Even with Chu Hongyi's good manners, he was still upset by Yulou's behavior of picking on him.

"Wang Yulou, what's your attitude? Are you so arrogant that you can't even listen to a harsh word in front of all the senior masters?"

Another foundation-building cultivator from the Yuan faction spoke up. He couldn't let the Yuan faction foundation-building cultivator who started the criticism perform a solo act, as that would be disunited.

After hearing this, Yulou felt relieved.

It's just a label of arrogance, it doesn't matter!
The key point is what the elder said, that Yulou's attitude was problematic, which might mean that the three members of the Yuan sect could not find any violation of the sect's rules in the communication method.

Considering Chu Hongyi's previous statement about "small sins", today's scene is very interesting.

Thinking of this, Wang Yulou did not answer. He neither looked at the second Yuan faction foundation-building cultivator who came to help, nor at the head of the sect Chu Hongyi at the top, but looked at the three foundation-building cultivators of the Zhuo faction.

"Uncle Liu, Uncle Gong, Uncle Jie, what are your opinions?"

He now needs to confirm whether the Dripping Cave has discovered that the exchange ceremony is digging into the sect's exploitable share of the cake. This matter is the key to determining success or failure today.

If the leadership of Dripping Cave discovered the problem, things would be bad.

Of course, there is room for maneuver, but you have to accept certain losses and failures as a result.

Moving forward in a roundabout way, Yulou can accept the spiral upward process.

"Old Liu, you tell me." Both the Gong and Jie foundation-building masters looked at Old Liu. He was the only one of the two experienced foundation-building masters among the seven people sitting there.

Old Liu spoke with a warm expression.

"Yulou, I support you!"

Gone.

Wang Yulou understood that the situation was indeed the worst. The Yuan and Zhuo factions worked together to suppress the existence of the exchange ceremony, so Miangua Laochu could make the judgment of "minor crime".

"Uncle Liu, Yulou understands."

Wang Yulou stood up and bowed respectfully to Old Liu, which was much more solemn than when he was trying to fool the elder just now, and made the elder very angry again.

Liu, the foundation-building master, nodded with satisfaction, smiled, raised his hand and motioned Yulou to sit down.

He got what he wanted. Wang Yulou knew very well what was going on - personal interests came first, faction interests came second, and sect interests came third.

Therefore, the current situation is that Lao Liu personally supports Yu Lou, the Zhuo Sect does not support Yu Lou very much, and the sect level does not allow communication ceremonies to exist.

“In the beginning, the exchange Dharma Assembly was conceived by Yulou and Senior Brother Faxian together, but later on, it was Yulou who pushed for it alone.

Master, the form and process of the exchange meeting are all in accordance with the sect rules. The disciples of the three palaces just want a place to communicate with their fellow disciples, that's all."

Lao Chu, both factions are pressuring me, but I refuse to accept it. Everything is back to the sect rules.

In the Dripping Cave, I, Wang Yulou, have the qualifications to do whatever is allowed unless prohibited by law!

The hall fell into silence. Wang Yulou ignored the overall situation and said that he was the overall situation. This behavior was very crazy.

But Chu Hongyi couldn't deal with Wang Yulou, and the Yuan family alone couldn't deal with Wang Yulou either.

Wang Yulou only needs to win the support of the Zhuo faction, and when the Zhuo faction does not support him, win the support of Chu Hongyi, and his exchange Dharma meeting will be able to continue.

This is everything that Yulou can do under the logic of internal fighting. Although it seems not strong, it is actually extremely strong.

Wang Yulou used the sect rules as iron chains and locked the hands and feet of the six assistant elders and Chu Hongyi.

It is not difficult to break the chain. It just depends on whether they and the forces behind them are willing to invest resources to start a new round of internal fighting.

This is a gamble of power and interests. Wang Yulou said that I am the banker and it is up to you to follow or not.

Winning or losing depends on the means!

To Wang Yulou, the so-called "arrogance and rudeness", "disregard for the overall situation" and "lack of unity" are all bullshit.

Only benefits.

Benefits represent resources and represent cultivation. Wang Yulou is unwilling, unable, and will not give in!
At worst, if I lose, I will just leave. A transfer order will put me in a red light!
After a long while, Chu Hongyi spoke. "Wang Yulou, you are a smart person, and you are also in the game, so let's be frank and not beat around the bush.

Your turtles have been arranged to be the guarding spirit beasts of the Hewan Fishing Port. The sect treats you well, so can't you be more restrained?"

As the head of the Dripping Cave, Chu Hongyi does not have the power to allocate resources, but he seems to be in charge of the resource allocation process in form.

But in the past two years, the sect's total revenue, that is, the total amount of the pie, has decreased by 2% due to poaching at the exchange conference.

Compared with the amount of resources provided by various spiritual objects as means of production to support the sect, the remaining mosquito legs of the disciples cannot be scraped away much even if the Three Palaces Merit System tries hard.

Therefore, the exchange conference only took away 2% of the sect's income and shook part of the interests of the Three Palaces' exploitation system, and Yulou only got a part of this 2%.

But this 2% really put Chu Hongyi under great pressure and made him feel overwhelmed and breathless.

Because he seems to have control over the distribution link, like a target. The lack of this 2% makes it very difficult for him to do his job.

Chu Hongyi had no way of continuing to walk the tightrope by attacking Wang Yulou at this time.

However, he was not really trying to cause trouble. He used the sect's treatment of Yulou as an inducement, which actually had the meaning of appealing to emotions and convincing people with reason.

Eyes are the window to your attitude.

At this time, Yulou used her eyes to let Chu Hongyi know her attitude.

The gaze of Taoist friend Yuque~
(Refer to the eyes, not the appearance hhhh)

Chu Hongyi, you don't care about Lao Yuan or the Zhuo family, but just keep staring at my turtle. Do you have any opinion about me?

Everyone was digging the corners of the dripping cave. The three immortals took the lead, and Zhuoyinsheng and Yuan Daoshen followed.

You, Chu Hongyi, became the head of the sect and also took the people around you to dig.

Why is it that when it was my turn to dig, Wang Yulou, you all jumped out?

Are you bullying me because I have low cultivation?

I am only twenty-nine or thirty years old, and I have already reached the fifth level of Qi training. Do you still dare to bully me because of my low level of cultivation?
In order not to take away your cake, I am trying to increase the value by making small changes and achieve win-win results. Are you still not satisfied?
“Master, the sect has treated me well, but don’t make it sound like my spirit turtle becoming a guardian spirit beast is some unspeakable secret.

It made great efforts in defending against the attack of the Iron Crocodile Dragon, so it was given the position of guardian spirit beast as a reward.

In addition, it is precisely because the sect has treated me well that Yu Lou must give back to the sect wholeheartedly, and that is why we have the exchange meeting to help the disciples exchange their cultivation experiences!"

Lao Chu, let’s get one thing out of the way and stop rambling!

"Wang Yulou, so, do you plan to continue holding the exchange meeting?"

Chu Hongyi asked back with a complicated expression.

He was making the final confirmation, confirming Wang Yulou's position and interests.

"The Dharma Exchange Conference benefits the sect and the disciples. I don't understand why the elders are opposed to it."

Yulou replied calmly.

It's nothing more than a fight.

In the world of cultivating immortals, if you want to move up, you must grasp both cultivation and power, and both hands must be strong!
If one only has cultivation but no power, he will be a waste to the big guys in the Immortal Alliance-Ten Sects system.

If you only have power but no cultivation, it is easy for you to be like what is happening now, where everyone is trying to poach your talents and you are the weakest and are dealt with first.

What a bully!
"Okay, you go ahead. I'll discuss this with the assistant elders."

After hearing what the sect leader said, Wang Yulou left without looking back.

Where interests lie, everyone's position is clear and there is nothing to say.

Wu Faxian, kneeling on the ground, looked at the headmaster, who helplessly signaled him to get out.

Old Wu chased out of the headmaster's hall, but Wang Yulou had already flown away. He wanted to chase him, but Yulou's voice transmission arrived.

"Brother Wu, let's stop here. There's no need to catch up."

Wang Yulou asked Old Wu to stand up. It was the last chance he gave Old Wu.

Stand up and let them see that I, Wang Yulou, have formed a faction of my own.

This is your final point of proving your value.

Unfortunately, Old Wu, oh Old Wu, he didn’t understand Wang Yulou’s courage.

This seemingly smart person was ruined as soon as he encountered adversity.
-
After sending Red Sparrow back to Hewan Fishing Port to report safety to Patriarch Xianzhou, Yulou came to the Lin Mansion.

An unmarried son-in-law is still a son-in-law. Wang Yulou came all the way to the lotus pond and met Lin Mengyao who was practicing.

Lao Lin is three hundred years old and is no longer at the age to work hard. He currently has a sinecure and has plenty of time to practice every day.

However, he practiced not to improve his cultivation, but to hone his supernatural powers and leave behind the experience of supernatural power cultivation to the Lin family.

"Ancestor, Yulou has something to report."

Wang Yulou was not polite and asked Lin Mengyao to do the job.

Isn’t the purpose of marriage to attract allies? Lao Lin plays a very important role and should be fully utilized.

Yulou completely regards him as a role similar to the clan leader. As long as he is respected and honored, Patriarch Lin can also be Wang Yulou's Patriarch Lin.

To put it bluntly, as long as he is willing to regard himself as Lin Mengyao's junior and let go of his attitude and obsession, Lin Mengyao will naturally welcome him - otherwise, it would be impossible for him to marry Lin Ying.

"Yulou, are you saying that the two families are attacking you together?"

Even with Lin Mengyao's knowledge, he did not expect Wang Yulou's current situation to be so great.

An exchange Dharma meeting, something he had never even heard of. Was it necessary for the two families to join forces to deal with him?
One thing needs to be explained here. The fighting within the faction must be done, but it will be done in a more decent way. From the standpoint of resisting Yuan Shikai, Wang Yulou will naturally stick around Elder Yu Yinsheng. As for other matters - Yulou is a partner, a partner who brings in capital, not a subordinate.

Yulou is the direct descendant of the Wang family, and the leader of the Wang family is the leader of Yulou.

“Yes and no, I guess only the three from the Yuan family and the head are more enthusiastic, so I plan to turn things around.

But, Grandpa, it’s better for Senior Sister Lin and I to get married as soon as possible.”

Yes, Wang Yulou came here today to urge marriage.

Patriarch Xian Zhou was dreaming of fishing something out of the pot, but Yu Lou didn't have such a dream. What he wanted was to put the money in his pocket and run.

Now Yulou is standing at the starting point of a new round of internal strife. At this time, holding on to the Lin family is a big and important matter.

Moreover, the Lin family also practices wood magic, and with the marriage with Lin Ying, if Yulou really has the opportunity to reach the Zifu Pass in the future, or even become Zifu, the Lin family can completely become another leg of Yulou.

"This..." Lao Lin's expression was a little strange.

He looked at Yulou and found that she was still respectful, and sighed slightly in his heart.

A loyal minister can be found in turbulent times. Wang Yulou, your board is shaking, but you come to me and ask me to express my opinion.

Little thief!

So, is Lin Mengyao loyal or not?
"How about the wedding be scheduled for two months from now?"

How to say it, Lao Lin is loyal after all, hahahaha.

This statement may be a bit abstract, but Yulou was very satisfied with his behavior at this moment.

"About a month later. After spending the past few years with Senior Sister Lin, Yulou and she have reached a point where things are about to come to fruition."

Wang Yulou was afraid that he would break through to the sixth level of Qi training in two months. When he got married at that time, other people would gasp when they saw him, which would not be good.

Being wild in the master's hall is to protect one's interests.

When you need to be low-key, you should try to be a little bit low-key.

Lin Mengyao explained.

"Yulou, you asked me to find a spiritual bird, and I will certainly do that.

But it’s hard to find a suitable spiritual bird. I only contacted a fellow Taoist from Jiuqiao Valley last year and ordered a silver-breasted colorful bird. It will take more than a month for it to be delivered.”

The silver-breasted colorful bird in Jiuqiao Valley.
This spiritual bird has a great reputation in the Wunan immortal cultivation world and has a special positioning, similar to the immortal cultivator version of Maserati - one of the best spiritual birds available for female cultivators.

Spiritual birds that have a high probability of becoming great demons are hard to come by. Spiritual birds like the Silver-breasted Colorful Bird that have a certain chance of breaking through to become a great demon are no worse than Wang Xianzhou's red cardinal, and are even stronger. The red cardinal has also gradually passed its prime.

In order to make up for Lin Ying, Lin Mengyao did a lot.

"Old Ancestor, I am grateful that you can remember the matter of the spiritual bird. However, there is no need to delay the wedding because of a bird. It is better to do it as soon as possible."

Wang Yulou continued to insist on getting married as soon as possible.

Lin Mengyao continued to remain silent.

Xiao Wang, you really want me to be loyal to you.

Although Lin Mengyao did not dislike this attitude and even admired it, human hearts are always complicated.

"Okay, then one month from now, your Wang family must send at least two people to establish their foundation, no fewer than when you first accepted your concubine."

"Yulou understands."
-
Wang Yulou finally set a date for the wedding.

On the other side, in the Sect Leader’s Hall, the Sect Leader and six assistant elders finally came to a conclusion.

“The communication dharma meeting is a new thing, and some elders think whether it is good or bad needs to be studied, but Yulou insists it is a good thing.

So, let's take a look and give it a try to see how it develops, and then make plans. What do you think?"

Chu Hongyi said helplessly about the result that he totally disagreed with, and he was very angry.

The good thing about the sect is that Wang Yulou doesn't need to be very strong. As long as he has a certain influence, he will have natural allies.

If you fight alone, you will be cut down wherever you go. To develop within the system, you don’t even need to be very strong. As long as you follow the right people and make the right choices, every step will be on the right path.

Even if you follow the wrong person or make the wrong choice, the result will at least not be too bad. The sect's protection is not as good as that of a family, but it is always better than that of an independent cultivator.

Under such rules, if you want to do something, you can use the sect’s resources to do it.

If you do a good job, you will be rewarded. Yes, the sect will provide resources for you to do things, and if you do a good job, you can also get rewards - as long as you can stand your ground, this high-ceiling system that takes care of the strong will send you to the top.

Even if you go in the wrong direction, it can be said to be a necessary exploration for development. Summarizing the experience of failure brings you one step closer to success - and you still win.

“Agree!” Three voices of agreement came from the three people of the Zhuo faction.

The interests of the faction are higher than those of the sect, and Wang Yulou, who is able to act alone, can still take care of his own interests.

Even if the sect's total revenue was reduced by 2%, the elders of the Zhuo Sect would not get less, so how could they oppose Wang Yulou?
“Objection!” The three voices of objection came from three people of Yuan’s faction, and the reasons were self-evident.

The two factions are evenly matched, Chu Hongyi said bitterly.

"I agree, so let's do it."

He forced himself to cheer up, accepted the reality, and added.

"I will pass on my opinion to Yulou later. My fellow Taoists have worked hard today. Let's go to my house and have a few drinks together?"

Lao Chu tried to unite his fellow disciples, but of course the elders were too lazy to give him face.

Chu Hongyi was chosen to be the punching bag for both sides, and he can only continue to endure it.

In the empty hall, the leader of the Dripping Cave sat at the top, leaning weakly on the back of a chair, his mind wandering for a moment.

It’s still better to have a leader like Anthony Wong, who has the support of Master Mangxiang behind him and can do whatever he wants.

I am caught between two sides, being the head of the sect for one day shortens my life span by three days. What a sin!
At the Yuan Mansion, Yuan Daoshen was meeting the elder who had forced Yulou to bow in the headmaster's hall today.

"I understand. Don't worry, that kid won't be crazy for long."

Yuan Daoshen sent away this peripheral member of the faction, but he also fell into worry.

Facing the members of the faction, he could only say that everything was not a problem. As the first foundation-building master of the powerful Dripping Cave and the disciple of True Man Jiusheng, I can definitely solve it.

But in fact, Wang Yulou has a sensitive sense of boundaries regarding power and behavior. What he did in the master's hall today was obviously very arrogant, but in the end he was caught.

This matter is actually very interesting, and Yuan Daoshen thinks he understands it.

What Yuan Daoshen saw was that Wang Yulou was relying on his future potential and expectations to feed the people around him who were optimistic about him with the cake of the future.

This point cannot actually be said to be wrong, because what Yulou did was not just making empty promises, he also forced people to eat them.

This is the actual logic behind forcing Lin Biao to surrender.

If you, Lao Lin, think highly of me, you must increase your investment when I am at a critical juncture where some uncontrollable risks may potentially occur.

Yes, I am a bit of a bully, but whether you raise the bet or not, I will really write it down in my little notebook.

If you don't raise the bet, you are not really optimistic.

It can be said that whether Wang Yulou can become a foundation-building person in the future is still at risk, but his cake has expanded to the golden elixir stage - not purple mansion, but golden elixir!
Let me emphasize again, it is the golden elixir!
This is actually a special kind of leverage. Mangxiang Zhengjindan is a risky asset, but Yulou packaged this risky asset together with the Anbei Wang family and his own future, and packaged it into a special collateral.

Combined with the fact that cultivators themselves are means of production, great cultivators are unique means of production.

Then, relying on the optimism and support of others gained through this collateral, Yulou has come to where he is today in Dripping Cave.

This is also why Zhuoyinsheng, who thinks he understands Wang Yulou, is optimistic about him, Lao Yuan, who thinks he understands Wang Yulou, is wary of him, and Lin Mengyao, who thinks he understands Wang Yulou, is loyal to him.

Although they don’t really understand Wang Yulou, they didn’t understand it in the past, they don’t understand it now, and they may not understand it in the future.

But as long as Wang Yulou continues on his path of improvement, this cycle of mortgage expectations - reaping real benefits - real benefits feeding back to cultivation - improvement of cultivation will not be at risk of failure.

This model has certainly been followed by some people in the world of immortal cultivation, but few are as familiar with the rules as Wang Yulou is. For this, we have to thank the Wang family.

Yuan Daoshen vaguely felt the horror of Yulou's model that would continue to expand as long as it could not be falsified, but he could not think of a way to deal with it.

Moreover, if we ignore the leverage operations in the process, in the special context of the world of immortal cultivation, the special model that Yulou skillfully manipulated has in fact already presented an early form of religion.

Yulou can be regarded as a religious leader, and he is also the worldly preacher and disseminator of this founding religion.

Mangxiang is a legendary religious god, and those who invest in and help Yulou are believers of the religion.

As long as the founder has not failed in his attempt to attain the golden elixir and Wang Yulou has not stopped improving his cultivation, his "missionary" work will continue smoothly.

Why do we need to emphasize the special background of the world of immortal cultivation?
In the Wunan immortal cultivation world, the oppression of the Immortal Alliance, the oppression of the great cultivators, and the oppression of the Immortal Alliance-Ten Sects system are like the elephants in the room.

No one dares to say it, but it is there.

To those who have access to Yu Lou, this young man is modest and kind, extremely intelligent, and more importantly, has an extraordinary background and a bright future.

He is a bit like the hope in the eyes of a desperate person, so he makes his subordinates, people around him, and fellow disciples believe in his work, which is why it progresses so smoothly.

Thinking of this, Yuan Daoshen felt a severe headache.

"Monster!" he cursed angrily.

He vaguely sensed the problem, but couldn't think of a way to deal with it.

So what if you are the first one to build a foundation in the Dripping Cave?
I, Wang Yulou, directly founded the cult of 'Yulou has a bright future and if we follow him we will rise to the top' and recruited believers in the Dripping Cave.

The power of religion is an ideological category at the spiritual level. You may be powerful but cannot give pie to everyone. I can always get allies by starting with those you cannot win over.

Here we return to the transformation of contradictions into opposites.

Why is Yulou so sure that he will not lose too badly if he insists on participating in the Dharma Assembly?
The answer is not complicated. Where there is oppression, there is resistance.

Resistance may take different forms, and the behavior of the rebels may not be understood by everyone.

However, the significance of resistance itself to the actor is infinite.

Resistance without results also has meaning, as resistance itself is the meaning of defining one's own sense of existential value.

When it comes to collapse and abstraction, resistance is the meaning.

The underlying logical unity of the laws of all things is despairing.

Of course, if used well, there is hope.

Using hope to resist the despair of supremacy over strength, Yulou's style of play will never go out of style as long as the oppression continues.

Applied to specific practice, the decentralized self-organizing model of the Communication Dharma Association itself contains a sense of resistance, which corresponds to the practitioners' hope for self-transcendence.

So, even though every participant knows there may be risks, they still do it.

Under the absolutely rational decision-making logic, individual behavioral choices should be rational, safe and prudent.

But as long as one has not become an immortal, this so-called absolute rationality does not exist, not to mention the temptation of benefits.

Therefore, if we go deeper into the point that Yulou is not afraid of losing, we will find that Yulou has planted the seeds of resistance. The communication conference can be banned, but the self-organized resistance model will not disappear.

Old Yuan thought and thought, but he really couldn't think of a way to deal with Wang Yulou.

You can’t kill him. If you kill Wang Yulou, there will definitely be trouble.

Once a storm arises, the outcome may not be something Yuan Daoshen can control. When Patriarch Xian Zhou and Yu Lou were negotiating with Yuan Daoshen about the Iron Crocodile Dragon, they did not choose the most decisive red light to decide the winner, in order to avoid the uncontrollable factors in risky decision-making.

Yuan Daoshen is an old man, an old monster, so he naturally would not make risky decisions easily - the origin of all the troubles was that Wang Xianzhou had hidden this matter for three years, which was too cunning!
They can't make peace. The status of the two men is very different. Seeking peace means admitting defeat. Yuan Daoshen can afford to lose, but the Yuan family cannot!
Under the forced intervention of Master Hongli, the Yuan family had to pay the spiritual stones, which was only a temporary loss. However, if Wang Yulou was allowed to grow for a long time, the Yuan family’s chance of becoming a Purple Mansion in the future would be gone.

It can be said that Wang Yulou only pulled a chair and sat down in the hall of the leader of Dripping Heaven and said a few words, but the first foundation-building master of Dripping Cave was driven to extreme ecstasy by him.

Sometimes, Yuan Daoshen could even think of the useless people in his family when he saw Wang Yulou.

Why did the Yuan family produce so many useless people? Why were the children of the Anbei Wang family so outstanding?

Thinking of this, Yuan Daoshen's eyes lit up. He had a solution!

Can't kill, can't make peace, then.
