If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 109: People Can’t Always Live Under Others’ Crotch
"Ahem! Ahem – Brother Li, why are you asking this question all of a sudden?"

Mei Chai Shao coughed awkwardly a few times and tried to change the subject.

It wasn't that he didn't want to flatter Li Yanmo, but he also understood Li Yanmo's character. He definitely wasn't asking for flattery, so he could only assess Li Yanmo's level as a cultivator with the eyes of a veteran cultivator.

As for magic weapons, Li Yanmo has a lot of them on his body, but they are all storage bags.

In terms of the physical body, relying on thunder method to temper the body does have some strength, but Li Yanmo does not have any special physique, so he cannot be regarded as the top.

As for the spells, this is what Mei Chai Shao can't understand the most. Now Li Yanmo owns the Tianxu Tower, and he can read and learn all kinds of skills and supernatural powers in it at will. So what did Li Yanmo use in the end?
Mei Chai Shao has lived for so long, but he still can't understand Li Yanmo's escape techniques that allow others to escape, and his persuasion for others to learn thunder magic. The eye rays and wind wheels are quite creative, but the power of those things is completely bound to the level of cultivation, and cannot be used as a trump card for cross-level challenges.

All in all, Li Yanmo can only be considered a third-rate cultivator in the world. Facing a top-notch genius like Leng Ningshuang, he doesn't even have a chance to fight back.

"Of course I want to improve myself. After all, I am the leader of a sect. I can't ask others for help every time something goes wrong," Li Yanmo said unhappily.

"No, can't I? I think the cultivators of the Dayu Dynasty are very happy to help." Mei Chai Shao scratched the back of his head and added, "I heard that many cultivators of the Dayu Dynasty regard Tianxu Tower as a place to gild their vests and are applying to come here to gild their vests."

"You can't always live under someone else's crotch."

"Uh... unless that crotch is super huge?"

Li Yanmo was speechless for a moment, then patiently explained, "Tianxu Tower and Daomen have already had some contact, and they're still in the stage of testing each other. Daomen will sooner or later test you further. I want to meet with Tianxu Tower's top management. Refusing once or twice is fine, but if you do it too many times, it's bound to arouse Daomen's suspicion."

"Tianxu Tower can't always live under someone else's roof."

You know, the Dayu Dynasty is a real tycoon! What if the Dayu Dynasty keeps spending money?
Mei Chai Shao thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.

Tianxu Tower could rent Dayu Dynasty aliases to impersonate senior executives, but unlike staff, senior executives inherently represent Tianxu Tower's intentions, and Dayu Dynasty aliases are highly valuable. Renting a powerful alias might initially intimidate the Daoist sect, but the Daoist sect would quickly investigate the alias's previous exploits and attribute those actions to Tianxu Tower, leading to a potentially disastrous reaction.

Moreover, once a pseudonymous senior executive is deployed and comes into contact with some people in the Taoist sect, in order to avoid suspicion from the Taoist sect, the pseudonymous monk will have to be constantly mobilized in the future. The cost is secondary, and the main factor is the autonomy of Tianxu Tower. The senior executives cannot be replaced at will.

Tianxu Tower and Dayu Dynasty have a cooperative relationship. If all the senior executives of Tianxu Tower are Dayu Dynasty's aliases, then Tianxu Tower will completely lose its autonomy.

Mei Chai Shao coughed and asked tentatively with a shameless face, "Brother Li, do you think I am...suitable?"

"You're only at the initial stage of fusion right now, which isn't good enough. You need to be at least at the level of Hong Chang. So I plan to discuss with General Mo to see if I can help you and Sect Leader Liu find a suitable place to improve your cultivation." Li Yanmo smiled impeccably. "What do you think?"

Mei Chai Shao was horrified.

As the ancestor, Mei Chai Shao knew that the Qingshan Sect had always relied on Li Yanmo's influence and could not provide any substantial help. Now that the Qingshan Sect had already gained a huge advantage, it would be extremely shameless to ask for a position at the top of Tianxu Tower. Unexpectedly, Li Yanmo not only agreed, but also prepared to invest resources in this old man.

Mei Chai Shao restrained his usual eccentricity and clasped his hands together, "Sect Master Li, I will definitely not let you down."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just let nature take its course," Li Yanmo was reassured by Mei Chai Shao's assurance.

Doesn't he understand what kind of personality Mei Chai Shao has? He must be a slacker when it comes to cultivation!

"Speaking of which, if I want a magical weapon with great potential, where can I go to try my luck?"

"Ah? Little Brother Li, if you want a magic weapon, can't you just go to Tianxu Tower and get it?"

Li Yanmo's question left Mei Chai Shao a little confused.

A suitable, powerful magical weapon can increase a cultivator's strength by 20-30%. If the weapon is strong enough and the wielder is exceptional enough, they can even defeat cultivators one major realm above them. However, forging a magical weapon is not easy. Cultivators in places with scarce spiritual energy and backward cultivation methods worry about finding a magical weapon.

Qianzhou is one of them. In the entire Qianzhou sect, there may be less than twenty earth-grade magic weapons added up, and they are all low-grade earth-grade magic weapons.

But Li Yanmo now has the support of the Dayu Dynasty, so it only takes a word for him to get any magic weapon he wants. Even if he wants to pay, Tianxu Tower now has 20 billion spirit stones, so it is not difficult for it to get a powerful magic weapon.

Li Yanmo said calmly, "...Tianxu Tower is still in its development stage, and negotiating with the Dayu Dynasty is a tough job. As a master, I can't cause too much trouble for my own selfish desires. Besides, what master would ask his disciples for magic weapons? I have to take the lead."

These are true, but there is a more important reason.

That is, as the leader of Taixu Sect, he cannot use his status as the leader to covet things from affiliated industries.

He couldn't spend the 20 billion spirit stones, nor could he eat the spiritual herbs and medicines in the Tianxu Tower's inventory, and he couldn't rely on his status as the sect leader to get the magic weapons and spiritual treasures for free with spirit stones below market value.

The same applies to Qingshan Sect, which is a subsidiary sect.

Being able to use the advanced training grounds and watch various spells and magical powers is already considered a borderline behavior.

If you want magic weapons or spiritual treasures, you have to pay for them. As the leader of Taixu Sect, after more than a year of accumulation, Li Yanmo’s small treasury has an exaggerated amount of... 20,000 low-grade spirit stones!
I can't even afford the fragments of magic weapons.

Mei Chai Shao was immediately filled with awe. He frowned and thought for a moment before answering, "The magic weapons in this world can be roughly divided into two categories: innate magic weapons and acquired magic weapons."

"The cultivators in this world all use acquired magic weapons, which are made by weapon refiners and are divided into four grades: heaven, earth, black and yellow. Most innate magic weapons are rare objects born from heaven and earth. Even if one has great luck, it is difficult to encounter them. They are not in the heaven, earth, black and yellow categories and are classified as immortal weapons."

"The definition of a spiritual treasure is much more vague, but it has one significant characteristic, which is that it has spirit. The dragon pattern in General Mo's hand is one of these spiritual treasures."

"As for the channels for obtaining magical treasures... they can be roughly divided into two types: illegal and legal."

"There are roughly two legal channels. One is purchasing through auctions, and the other is commissioning a specialized weapon refiner to forge it. The former has many variables, but there's always a number. The latter, as long as you find a reliable weapon refiner, you'll definitely be able to get a matching magic weapon. However, the cost is high, and even those cultivators in Zhongzhou don't dare to order magic weapons casually." Mei Chai Shao's eyes flickered. "As for illegal channels..."

"That's a lot."
