Chapter 500 What are they here for?
Since there are many cases where cultivators suddenly break through bottlenecks in a flash of inspiration at the critical moment of life and death, Bai Lan was unable to break through the bottleneck for a long time. As a last resort, she sneaked into the lair of an eighth-level white wolf king and snatched the wolf king's cub. This provoked the white wolf clan to hunt her down with the entire clan. She and her clan ran across most of the Qiyun Mountains but there was no winner. It was not until three months later that Bai Lan's bottleneck was loosened, and she was willing to let the white wolf clan go, and returned to continue her cultivation with concentration.
Mr. Fu didn't know these things, but the system saw them clearly.
"What are you laughing at?" Old Fu glanced at the system.
"Nothing." The system chuckled and handed the written plan to Elder Fu: "By the way, Elder Fu, our Yuling Sect is now considered a major sect in the world of cultivation, with a large number of members. I have thought about it and decided that the Yuling Sect must have what other sects should have! This is the plan I wrote for the sect competition. Elder Fu, please give it a thumbs up."
Fu Lao glanced at the system, took the thing called the planning proposal from him, and looked at it carefully: "Huh, what kind of thing is written? It's garbage."
"...You really are worthy of being Long Aotian's grandfather. Your voice speaks in a Aotian manner." The system was speechless.
"Nowadays, all the great sects that cultivate immortality regard those with natural spiritual roots as geniuses and rare physiques as treasures in their hands. Little do they know that in the world of cultivation, there are few cultivators with single spiritual roots who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage." Old Fu snorted coldly: "If you still follow the old ways, the Yuling Sect will be destroyed sooner or later."
The system suddenly realized: "Yes!"
In novels, the geniuses with single spiritual roots in such large sects are usually stepping stones for the protagonists. If the Yuling Sect is also like this, wouldn't it be waiting for the next Long Aotian to come and slap them in the face? It's really unlucky!
"For a cultivator, aptitude is certainly important, but character, understanding, aptitude, and even luck are all indispensable."
The system nodded repeatedly: "That makes sense."
"Not everyone is like Bai Lan, who is proficient in all the great ways. Ordinary cultivators usually specialize in one path to assist their cultivation. If the sect competition is only a martial arts competition, how will those alchemy cultivators cope with it? If the sect competition prohibits the use of talismans, how will those formation cultivators and talisman cultivators fight?"
"Stop cursing, stop cursing." The system scratched its head. It felt a headache when it thought about having to revise the plan according to the issues raised by Mr. Fu.
"Take it back and revise it." Mr. Fu stuffed the plan back into the system's hands and lay back in the rocking chair, sneering secretly in his heart... Little thing, how dare you laugh at me? I can't beat you or scold you, because I have plenty of ways to torture him in other ways.
At the same time, Li Xunxian, who was on annual leave far outside the Void Stone, was now in the far west.
Li Xunxian, who had entered a secret magic cultivation area and was beaten black and blue by a group of sixth-order poisonous bees that spewed venom, was not discouraged at this moment. Instead, he laughed loudly and shouted, "Great!"
After all, fighting was more suitable for her. She worked as a kindergarten teacher for half a year, teaching those little kids who drew energy into their bodies, and she was almost suffocated to death in the mortal world.
Before Li Xunxian could enjoy himself enough, the sound transmission note on her waist lit up. After taking it out and taking a look, Li Xunxian breathed a sigh of relief... Fortunately, it wasn't Bai Lan.
The one who sent the message was Master Xu, a fellow disciple of the Yuling Sect, a strange man who had served as an elder in the Demon Palace and the Tianji Pavilion. In a place like the world of cultivation, he can do well anywhere, which is quite a skill.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I was entrusted by the head of the sect to go to the Ten Thousand Poison Sect. I heard from Cannon Fodder True Lord that...Fellow Daoist Li is in the Far West right now?"
Li Xunxian's face suddenly darkened, and he smelled the scent of a mission: "What are you doing in the Ten Thousand Poison Sect? Is that woman targeting the Ten Thousand Poison Sect?"
"Yes, that's what the master meant...but I'm in a little trouble now and have to seek help."
She hadn't bothered to find the two useless guys Bai Lan had given her to kidnap, and now she had another job... Was this still considered a vacation? She was clearly still working like a slave for Bai Lan!
Seeing that Li Xunxian remained silent for a long time, Master Xu's tone became more and more painful, and he began to persuade her: "You and I are both from the same sect, and we both serve under the master. Not to mention that we share the same difficulties, but..."
"Enough, enough, tell me, what trouble have you encountered?" The black energy on Li Xunxian's body has already gathered into substance.
"On the way to the Far West, I met a little girl who was very talented in cultivating magic. I liked her so much that I wanted to take her in as my disciple. But I didn't expect that this little girl was from a righteous family." Master Xu became angrier and angrier as he spoke: "What a hell! How could such a talented child be born into a righteous family? It's really infuriating!"
Li Xunxian suddenly perked up: "...Wait, the righteous family you mentioned, could it be the surname Gu?"
"Oh? Fellow Daoist Li actually knows about the Gu family?"
"The little girl you are talking about, could she be called Gu Qian'er?" Li Xunxian suddenly put away the evil spirit in his body and spoke in surprise.
"That's right, that girl's name is Gu Qian'er, and my original surname is also Gu. Although the characters are different, they are pronounced the same. I think I am destined to be with her. Qian'er must be my destined disciple, haha." Elder Xu chuckled.
"..."
After searching everywhere, I finally found it without any effort. Isn't Gu Qian'er one of the little losers that Bai Lan wanted her to collect? How could she find one of them so easily?
"What about you? What trouble have you encountered? You are also a Jindan cultivator. If someone can't even beat you, I'm afraid I can't do anything about it." Li Xunxian frowned slightly.
“The Gu family’s patriarch is a late Jindan cultivator, and his strength is comparable to that of a half-step Yuanying. When I saw that he was going to take Qian’er away, I was no match for him and had to retreat. But if I want to take Qian’er back from him, I’m afraid it will be difficult.” Elder Xu said, and then changed the subject: “But if we join forces with Fellow Daoist Li, you and I will have no problem defeating him!”
After following Bai Lan for such a long time, he didn't learn the other things from Elder Xu, but he formed the habit of calling for reinforcements and crushing the enemy with numbers.
Li Xunxian rolled his eyes and smiled: "Of course, of course. With the combined efforts of you and me, it's no problem for a cultivator in the late Jindan stage to defeat him! It's just that Fellow Daoist Xu wanted me to help, but he still lacked a little...meaning."
Since Master Xu didn't know that Gu Qian'er was her original target, and now she has come to her door to beg her, she would not be called Li Xunxian if she didn't cheat her out of it!
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Li. If this is accomplished, the reward of spiritual stones will naturally be generous!" Master Xu agreed decisively.
Not only can he earn spirit stones, but he can also complete the task of being the sect leader at the same time. It is a two-birds-at-one-stone situation. Li Xunxian immediately went to meet Master Xu and decided to work with him to bring Gu Qian'er back to the Yuling Sect!
The two hit it off immediately. One was a demon cultivator in the Jindan stage, and the other was a ghost cultivator in the Jindan stage. When the two of them appeared above the Gu family with great momentum, the head of the Gu family was stunned.
He immediately summoned the clan protection formation and invited all the elders of the Gu family to discuss the matter.
"Two Jindan stage demon cultivators suddenly came to my Gu family. What on earth is the purpose?"
"Could it be that the people who came here are from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect? Is the Ten Thousand Poison Sect going to go to war against the righteous path again?"
"Could it be that he is targeting my Gu family's skills and magical powers? Or is he targeting the half-broken Soul Nurturing Tree?"
"Or was it that some ignorant Gu family cultivator accidentally killed their youngster while training outside?"
The elders were arguing fiercely, but the head of the Gu family, who was sitting at the head, sighed and said, "It must be because I had a big fight with that female devil without knowing right or wrong. After she was defeated, she was so angry that she asked her relatives and friends to come to help her and destroy our Gu family."
