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

Chapter 112: The Battle for the Throne
Although Ji Fa tried hard to embellish the actions of his ancestors, the more Li Yanmo listened, the more he felt that it was Emperor Yu who was plotting against the Zhuge family. If Emperor Yu was not also a victim of the Ministry of Works, Li Yanmo would have been certain that it was Emperor Yu who was plotting against the Zhuge family.

However, after hearing the information provided by Ji Fa about the Zhuge family, Li Yanmo became more and more certain that the Zhuge family was the big spender he was looking for.

It would be even better if I could take the Zhuge family’s debts for myself.

"Actually, I want to go to Jingzhou to find the Zhuge family and persuade them to join my sect. Tianxu Tower can't always rely on the inventory of the Dayu Dynasty. If it is used too often, it will inevitably arouse suspicion," Li Yan crossed his fingers in front of him and stated his plan and purpose very calmly.

"Ah, this! Brother Li, absolutely not! Although my Dayu Dynasty is indeed a factor, the Zhuge family has long since declined, and their weapon-refining skills are far inferior to what they used to be. Not only are they basically living off their past, but they've also passed down their old bad habits!"

Upon hearing that Li Yanmo actually wanted to recruit the Zhuge family, Ji Fa was shocked and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

Ji Fa's reaction made Li Yanmo determined to recruit the Zhuge family.

"Brother Ji Ba, people will change, and the world is unpredictable. Maybe... the heir of the Zhuge family is unusually hardworking, frugal, and intelligent?" Li Yanmo smiled slightly.

“You…it’s better to hope that Lily Jiang doesn’t pick her feet when she practices medicine,” Ji Fa muttered, and was extremely pessimistic about Li Yanmo’s trip. “But if you insist on going, then I can’t stop you. I’ll tell the governor of Jingzhou later and ask them to adjust the arrangements.”

"Arrange? What else did you do?"

Li Yanmo's face was filled with vigilance, which made Ji Fa repeatedly complain, "The Dayu Dynasty wasn't some evil dynasty. We weren't the only ones who had eyes for the Zhuge family back then. The Daoists were the same. The Zhuge family's gambling addiction was caused by the Daoists."

"They really are lending money and really want to arrest the Zhuge family. Even now, they have arranged for the sect to keep an eye on the Zhuge family. In order to ensure that the Zhuge family has a good end, we have specially established several ruthless gangs in Qianzhou to take turns to keep an eye on them."

"...It sounds like if I can't have it, I absolutely can't let anyone else have it."

"..."

Ji Fa was speechless.

"Then I'll trouble Brother Ji Ba to help tell the governor of Jingzhou."

Li Yanmo stood up and was about to say goodbye but was stopped by Ji Fa.

"Brother Li, do you still remember the Demon Immortal Sect?"

When the Demon Immortal Sect was mentioned, Li Yanmo's expression turned grim. He sat down and said, "Of course I remember. The Dayu Dynasty planned to completely wipe out the Demon Immortal Sect?"

"The Dayu Dynasty has always wanted to wipe out the Demon Immortal Cult, but the Demon Immortal Cult's birthplace is very difficult to find," Ji Fa sighed softly. "The Demon Immortal Cult originated in Chiche. The people there believe that humans are born demons, with the responsibility of transforming all beasts and awakening wisdom. They worship the legendary demon immortals."

"They firmly believed they were right, and their actions of enlightening the beasts even attracted the righteousness of heaven and earth."

“So Chiche monsters are rampant, and monsters are the most respected.”

"The military sect believes that the people should be directly demolished. The Buddhist sect, caught up in the debate about being born as demons, has chosen to remain neutral. The Taoist sect accuses the military sect of abusing force and insisting that the Chiche people's choices should be respected. The great Confucian scholars are arguing in the court, repeatedly proposing to interfere with the Holy Pillar again."

"The current Emperor Yu fears the consequences of tampering with the righteousness of heaven and earth, so he can only act in secret."

Upon hearing this, Li Yanmo understood Chiche's problem. "So... why are you telling me this?" "The people of Chiche make their own choices, and the Dayu Dynasty naturally cannot interfere. However, that night in Risheng City, innocent people were endangered, and the current Emperor Yu is determined to eradicate the Demon Immortal Cult." Ji Fa picked up the teacup and shook it gently, a cold glint in his eyes. "The problem is, the East China Sea Dragon Palace is planning to hold a Dragon Transformation Conference in Chiche at this very moment, attracting many famous demon geniuses to Chiche."

"If the army attacks at this time, it may cause this demon tide to come earlier. The defense line of Wan Yao Mountain is not yet complete. If a demon tide occurs at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"A lot of people will die?" Li Yanmo realized the seriousness of the problem.

"I'm afraid we'll have to use the Zhuxian toilet plunger array created by the Ministry of Works," Ji Fa said with a pained expression. "Even if the Great Yu Dynasty wins, it will be a complete loss of face, and the Ministry of Works will naturally have to innovate the magic weapons of the soldiers."

Well, even the toilet plunger is about to be forced out, it's really serious.

"So why are you telling me this? I'm just a small Qi-cultivating and foundation-building cultivator," Li Yanmo said helplessly.

"Then we have to start with the origin of the dragon race."

"Can I skip it?"

Ji Fa immediately cast an embarrassed look at Leng Ningshuang for help, but Leng Ningshuang showed no intention of helping. She sneered, "They're just a bunch of idiots who think they have great business acumen, but are losing everything they have. Have you ever seen anyone cooperate with the Taotie clan just to compete with the Pixiu clan for the bank business?"

"Sorry, I'm a little curious suddenly." Li Yanmo immediately became interested when he heard that the East China Sea Dragon Palace was a powerful man who cooperated with Taotie to open a money house.

"Ahem—besides humans who are born with intelligence, there are also a group of creatures born with spiritual wisdom, such as dragons, phoenixes, and various ferocious and auspicious beasts. Their appearance was extremely sudden, but because it's so long ago, even before the Great Desolation, there's no way to verify it. However, one thing is certain: they appeared much later than humans."

Ji Fa coughed and started to argue.

"The dragon clan is the strongest among them. Because they are connected to the imperial aura, they assisted the Shun and Yu dynasties at their inception and never attacked anyone. Therefore, the Yu dynasty tacitly allowed them to imitate the dynasty and establish the five major dragon palaces in the east, south, west, north and center."

"The only thing giving the Dayu Dynasty a headache is that the dragons are social terrorists, getting along well with everyone. And because they love doing business, they've accumulated a lot of debts of favor. This Dragon Transformation Conference is probably just a collection of debts from the demons or others who don't want the Dayu Dynasty to deal with this huge problem, Chi Che."

"It could be the Dao Sect, or it could be the Dao Sect, or it could be... the Dao Sect."

Li Yanmo understood what Jifa meant and had a strange expression on his face. "So why are you telling me this?"

"Of course... to compete for the qualification to participate in the Dragon Transformation Conference. The winner will have the opportunity to bathe in dragon blood."

Ji Fa smiled mysteriously, but Leng Ningshuang ruthlessly exposed him.

"To put it nicely, it's called the Dragon Transformation Competition. To put it bluntly, it's called the Blood Selling Competition. Whoever pays the most will get the dragon blood. And once the money is deposited, there will be no refund, even if you don't get a place in the end."

"If you really want to bathe in dragon blood, you can just tell General Mo directly. With the Dayu Dynasty's inventory and your contributions, you can bathe until you feel comfortable without spending a single spirit stone."

"Ji Ba is after your 20 billion spirit stones and wants you to help him in his fight for the throne of Emperor Yu."
