Eternal Life: I Can Break Through The Limits Of All Methods

Chapter 25: Burned and Not Given

Jiang Mo paused and said, "Since that's the case, then we have no choice but to make the exchange."

"Hai Meng sacrificed the 'Dragon's Song Sword Manual' for the benefit of the sect and obtained the high-yield Spirit Rice seeds."

"If it weren't for Hai Meng's spiritual stones, the Spirit Rice seeds wouldn't belong to the Divine Will Sect."

"I've already said it before, no matter the cost, I must obtain the 'Dragon's Song Sword Manual' for Hai Meng. I can't go back on my word."

He spoke with righteousness and was about to open the bag and take out the seeds.

At this moment, the white-haired elder sitting on the left side of the first row stood up solemnly and said, "Master, this cannot be allowed."

Having worked together for many years, he naturally knew that the master couldn't back down at this moment and directly refuse Jiang Zhi Lan's request.

At this point, they needed one person to play the role of the good guy and another person to play the role of the bad guy, just to handle this matter.

He continued with a serious expression, "As I said earlier, the effect of these seeds on Bi Ling Valley is much greater than on the Divine Will Sect."

"If this continues, Bi Ling Valley's strength will inevitably surpass that of the Divine Will Sect, which is detrimental to our future."

"Although Hai Meng has the opportunity to comprehend the Dragon's Song Sword Intent, it doesn't mean that she can comprehend it just by having the 'Dragon's Song Sword Manual.' After all, that is the legendary Sword Intent, and to comprehend it, one must have extremely high talent."

"And if one has extremely high talent, it's not necessarily impossible to comprehend the Dragon's Song Sword Intent without the 'Dragon's Song Sword Manual.' After all, this thing was initially comprehended by people, right?"

"Hai Meng, you understand righteousness and should be aware of the impact this matter has on the sect. I hope you can make the right choice."

The meaning behind his words was clear: even if you don't have enough talent, having the 'Dragon's Song Sword Manual' doesn't necessarily mean you can comprehend the Dragon's Song Sword Intent.

So don't think about sacrificing the sect's interests to fulfill yourself.

And if you think you have enough talent, then just comprehend it yourself. Why do you still need the 'Dragon's Song Sword Manual'?

So there's no need to exchange the Spirit Rice seeds for this broken sword manual.

Li Haimeng, after hearing this, clenched her teeth and didn't know how to respond.

At this moment, the middle-aged female cultivator sitting next to Jiang Mo said, "Master, with Hai Meng's talent, as long as she has the 'Dragon's Song Sword Manual,' I am confident that she will definitely be able to comprehend the Dragon's Song Sword Intent."

"And having a sword cultivator who masters the Dragon's Song Sword Intent may not necessarily be inferior to having the Spirit Rice for the improvement of our Divine Will Sect's strength."

"Hai Meng, do you have confidence in mastering the Dragon's Song Sword Intent?" She turned around and asked Li Haimeng.

Li Haimeng knew that her master was fighting for her opportunity, and she also knew that she had to strive for it herself.

So she stepped forward, knelt in front of Jiang Mo, and respectfully said, "Master, although I have limited talent, if I have the 'Dragon's Song Sword Manual,' I am certain that I can master the Dragon's Song Sword Intent within ten years."

"If I can't do it, I am willing to die as an apology!"

The elder on the side shook his head and said, "Even if you apologize with your life, what difference would it make if it delays the sect's future and affects the sect's interests?"

"Hai Meng, we several senior brothers and sisters can understand your desire for this item."

"But when it comes to the safety and interests of the sect, we can't act impulsively."

The elder from the Punishment Hall, a bald man in black robes, stood up and said, "Since this matter is so difficult, I think we should vote on it."

The other elders nodded in agreement. For major events concerning the safety of the sect, it was usually decided by a vote in the sect's elder council, and the master didn't have the power to veto.

After the vote, only Jiang Mo and the middle-aged female cultivator agreed to exchange the Spirit Rice seeds for the 'Dragon's Song Sword Manual.'

The other elders naturally voted against it.

Jiang Mo could only sigh helplessly in the end and said, "Since that's the case, Hai Meng, I can only trouble you. We must prioritize the interests of the sect."

Li Haimeng was still kneeling on the ground at this time.

Upon hearing this, her body trembled involuntarily.

"Disciple... will comply."

Jiang Zhilan pretended to be melancholic, shaking her head and sighing, "I thought that the cultivation world of the Zhao Kingdom would produce another legendary Dragon Chant Sword Immortal in the future, but now it seems there is no hope. What a pity..."

"Everyone, continue with the discussion. Zhilan will no longer disturb you."

"As for this 'Dragon Chant Sword Manual,' it is of no use to our sect. No one in our sect can understand it. It's a shame I wasted my eighty thousand spirit stones."

After saying that, she took out a fire talisman and stuck it on the 'Dragon Chant Sword Manual.' In the next moment, the manual burst into flames and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this scene, Li Haimeng widened her beautiful eyes, feeling lost and almost on the verge of despair.

The last hope was gone.

She would never be able to comprehend the Dragon Chant Sword Intent in her lifetime.

The middle-aged female cultivator hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, while the other elders remained indifferent.

Even if they truly mastered the Dragon Chant Sword Intent, they were still far from becoming immortals. What was there to regret?

And even if they could become immortals, it was Li Haimeng's opportunity, what did it have to do with them?

If the Spirit Rice seeds were given to the Biling Valley and threatened the sect's interests in the future, it would undoubtedly affect them.

Why should they sacrifice their own interests for someone else's opportunity?

After Jiang Zhilan left with her people, Jiang Mo spoke, "Haimeng, Jiang Zhilan's actions are nothing more than an attempt to drive a wedge between you and the sect. You must not fall into her trap."

"This decision was made out of helplessness. You have always understood righteousness since you were young, and you should be able to understand the sect's difficulties."

"To compensate you, we will give you an additional three thousand sect contribution tokens."

"In the future, if there are any other items related to the Dragon Chant Sword Intent, the sect can also acquire them for you."

After receiving comfort from her master, Li Haimeng had already eased the pain of her shattered Dao heart.

However, she was extremely dissatisfied with the actions of the sect leader and the elders, burning with anger.

She didn't consider her own interests when she bought the Spirit Rice seeds for the sect.

But this group of people didn't consider her at all and only spoke about the importance of the bigger picture.

Compared to Jiang Zhilan, the actions of this group of people were even more despicable.

Now she finally understood how wrong her previous choices were. She would never do such a foolish thing again!

She remained calm and expressionless as she stood up and said, "Disciple will remember the teachings of the sect leader. Disciple will take her leave."

After that, she turned and left, her two cold phoenix eyes devoid of any human emotions.

Jiang Feiyu watched her pass by but didn't dare to say a word to her.

He had originally planned to speak up for Li Haimeng.

But he knew that if he dared to interfere in such a matter concerning the sect's interests, his father would definitely not spare him. It wouldn't be as simple as being confined.

So he didn't dare to say much, and he also knew that even if he did, it wouldn't make a difference.

But now, would he still have a chance to pursue Senior Sister?

He regretted it now. He should have taken the risk and said something earlier.

...

On the other side, after Chu Ming finished cultivating in the space, he returned to his room and fell into a deep sleep.

He slept soundly that night, completely unaware of the big drama that unfolded in the inner sect.

He never expected that a random sale of a Spirit Rice seed would cause such a chain reaction.

It almost shattered the Dao heart of a talented sword cultivator.

End of the chapter.
