Pursuing Longevity With an Immortal Mansion

Chapter 309 The battle for the team leader (two chapters in one)

"My disciple Qingyang, come and see me quickly."

Liu Yu penetrated the sect's token with a ray of consciousness and instantly read the information inside.

Unexpectedly, the news this time was not a sect mission, but a summons from Master Li Changkong.

"At this moment, thinking of me as a registered disciple, could it be that you want to capture a young man?"

Thinking of this, Liu Yu's eyes flashed with thoughts. He waved his hand and put the sect token back into his storage bag. He stood up and said to the three people who were looking at him:

"I dare not disobey the master's summons. Please forgive me."

"This party should end here. Liu needs to take one step first."

Although he didn't know what Li Changkong's purpose was for summoning him, he didn't intend to directly go against his will and have a confrontation with him. He still wanted to go and see the situation first.

After all, when you go out, you still have to rely on this cheap master in many places.

Of course, it would be embarrassing if any too dangerous tasks were arranged, and Liu Yu would find a way to shirk it no matter what.

Although as a disciple, it is natural to obey the master's orders, but he is not the kind of pedantic practitioner, and he is only a registered disciple.

"Since it was summoned by the elders, it is appropriate for Senior Brother Liu to leave first. Maybe there will be good news."

"This gathering is almost over. Brothers and sisters, please take your leave!"

Yan Kai also stood up after hearing this, smiled and said with cupped hands.

He did not respond to Cui Liang's previous words, as if he did not want to get entangled with him on this.

"Farewell!"

Jiang Qiushui and Cui Liang also stood up and walked towards the teahouse together.

The dispute over ideas is very harmful to harmony, and can turn each other against one another if things go wrong.

Cui Liang, a veteran monk, knew this very well, so he did not pursue him fiercely.

The four of them got off the teahouse and said a few more polite words before leaving in different directions.

Liu Yu said goodbye to the three of them and agreed on a time to meet next time.

There was a smile on his face when he turned around, and he kept walking towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Among the current small team of four, only Jiang Qiushui is his, so there is no need to worry about sudden betrayal.

Cui Liang and Yan Kai are just more familiar with each other than other students, and their relationship is relatively good. Their contact time is also limited, so they cannot be completely reassured.

It would be best if there was a rift between the two. This way, you don't have to worry about the two joining forces, and it would be more beneficial for you to control a small team.

Therefore, Liu Yu did not really mean to reconcile the two, but was somewhat happy to see it happen.

…

Guque City was also built on a third-level spiritual vein. The entire city was shrouded in the spirit gathering array arranged by the skilled formation masters, ensuring the richness of the spiritual energy in the city.

Among them, the place with the strongest aura is the City Lord's Mansion.

The previous training cave of the Golden elixir monks in Baiyun Temple was built within the scope of the City Lord's Mansion.

Now that Guque City was captured by the Chu State Allied Forces, these caves were allocated to the Chu State Golden Pill, and Li Changkong got one.

After passing the majestic hall and a crowded place, Liu Yu and many monks passed by each other and walked into a deserted dead end.

Facing the cold and hard stone wall, he bumped into it without changing his expression.

Contrary to imagination, there was no head-breaking or bleeding situation. It was just like entering the water from outside the water, without encountering any resistance, and easily passed through the wall.

This area is a forbidden area within the city lord's palace. What is in front of you is just an illusion. With the consent of the owner of the cave, there is no hindrance in entering and exiting.

If there is no consent from the owner of the cave, then the stone wall is really a stone wall, and you will inevitably break your head and bleed if you hit it.

After passing through the formation, Liu Yu was in a daze for a moment, and then he saw the scene inside clearly.

There are patches of green grass under the feet, with lakes, flowing water, pavilions and towers in the distance, and dense water vapor permeates the lake.

Several buildings are built just above the lake, and a path stretches from near to far, spreading from the foot to the building site.

He looked back and was shocked to realize that the space behind him had turned into a stone wall again at some point. Four tall stone walls surrounded the space.

"The way of formation is profound and profound."

Liu Yu sighed slightly in her heart, and then walked towards the building along the path without hesitation.

In the simple and natural pavilion, there is a middle-aged Taoist sitting cross-legged with a chessboard in front of him. He is undecided about the chess pieces and is playing chess with himself.

Beside him, there was a man and a woman standing with their hands down, respectful and silent, not daring to disturb the Taoist's interest.

It was none other than Cheap Master Li Changkong, Senior Sister Li Buyu and Third Senior Brother Jing Yongqing.

After a while, Liu Yu came to the small pavilion.

Seeing this scene, he didn't bother him. He just bent down and bowed his hands, and then stood aside like the other two people with his hands down.

He also looked at the chessboard with a serious expression, as if the game on it was very exciting.

But if you look carefully, you will find that Liu Yu's pupils are dilated and his attention is obviously no longer on the chessboard.

He has no research on chess, nor is he interested in it. He only knows the most basic rules, and his serious look is just a joke.

It is normal for high-level monks to put on airs, but it is better for low-level monks to cooperate.

For a moment, Li Changkong was playing chess with himself as if there was no one around, and the only sound in the pavilion was the sound of chess pieces falling.

"Very good, Buyu, Yongqing, Qingyang, you three are all here."

After half a quarter of an hour, the winner was determined on the chessboard. Li Changkong raised his head and said slowly, as if he had just discovered the three of them.

"Disciple Qingyang, pay homage to Master."

Liu Yu saluted solemnly and said respectfully.

I have told Master Yibai about my Taoist name a long time ago. His name is Li Buyu and Jing Yongqing call him by his first name, but he calls me by his Taoist name. It is clear at a glance which one is near and which one is far.

However, he had no idea. After all, compared to registered disciples, direct disciples were the equivalent of real disciples.

"Well, no need to be polite."

"Do you three know why I called you here?"

Li Changkong stood up and came to the fence, looking at the beautiful scenery in the lake, and said without looking back.

Liu Yu shook his head slightly when he heard this, but said nothing while holding the disciple ceremony.

"Disciple doesn't know."

Jing Yongqing replied calmly.

"Disciple boldly speculates that it is because of the attack on Yan State, or because of the sect's next strategy."

Li Buyu's cold voice sounded. Perhaps because of her blood relationship, she was obviously not as "restricted" as Liu Yu and Liu Yu.

"good."

Li Changkong turned around and glanced at Li Buyu with admiration. This outstanding member of the clan has never disappointed anyone.

Then he pondered slightly and did not speak immediately, as if he was still thinking about something.

"The Yan State has eight continents. The Qi State is responsible for attacking the four western continents where Yuling Sect and Shuiyou Sect are located, and the Chu State is responsible for attacking the four eastern continents where Danxia Cave and Baiyun Temple are located."

"As for the monks from other small countries, they will join Chu and Qi as assistance."

"The four eastern continents are Youzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and Yongzhou. After repeated discussions, the five sects of Chu State have temporarily reached an agreement."

"Piaoxue Pavilion and Qingxu Sect mainly attack Danxia Cave, which is the two states of Yangyong."

"Our Yuanyang Sect, Cangyue Valley, and Hehuanmen mainly attack Baiyun Temple, which is Youzhou and Xuzhou."

Li Changkong spoke very fast, telling a lot of information, and then paused briefly to give the three of them some time to digest.

The three of them had never heard of this information before, and it was obviously top secret information.

"Is this Chu's future strategy?"

Liu Yu was shocked when he suddenly heard such important information.

Then my thoughts started to spin rapidly, thinking about how to act in the best interests of myself so that I could get what I wanted.

But he didn't let him think for long before Li Changkong spoke again.

"Although under the threat of good and evil, the five major sects have temporarily put aside their prejudices and maintained cooperation, there is no less competition at all."

"For example, the territory of Yan State in front of us!"

"The five sects will attack the four eastern continents at the same time. Whoever occupies it will own it after destroying Yan."

As he spoke, Li Changkong waved his hand and used his magic power to outline the map of the four eastern continents of the Yan Kingdom, with lights representing resource points lighting up one by one.

Then his words rang out again.

"The sect, Cangyue Valley, and Hehuanmen attacked Youzhou and Xuzhou, and made corresponding arrangements in order to occupy more territory."

"The main focus of the sect will be on the immortal cities in the two states and the places where large-scale immortal cultivators gather."

"As for the small gathering places of immortal cultivators, as well as small forces and cultivating families along the way, more than a dozen teams of cultivators will be dispatched to deal with them."

"Generally speaking, the monk team consists of ten foundation-building monks and 300 Qi-refining monks. They are responsible for conquering the immortal cultivating families along the way."

"Buyu and Yongqing's cultivation is enough to serve as the leader of a team."

"As for Qingyang, his current cultivation level is still shallow and he still lacks some strength. He can join your senior brother and sister's team."

This time, Li Changkong did not sell the truth and directly stated the purpose of summoning the three people.

"Cultivation Family", "Monk Team" and "Leader"

Liu Yu's heart moved when she heard this.

According to Li Changkong, this kind of team of monks sent by the sect during war has extraordinary power.

Ten foundation-building monks and three hundred Qi-refining monks.

If you can control such a team of monks, it will undoubtedly have indescribable benefits for collecting spiritual herbs or searching for resources.

With power and strength, maybe the spiritual grass for refining the golden elixir will be found, and maybe many rare treasures can be obtained.

This trip to Yan State will also become a real "feast".

Thinking of this, Liu Yu felt a little hot inside, but there was still a problem at the moment.

How to obtain the status of "team leader"?

It was precisely because of the various benefits of being a team leader that Li Changkong wanted Li Buyu and Jing Yongqing to take charge of a team of monks respectively.

Judging from the tone of the cheap master, he will definitely not support him.

"This matter needs long-term consideration, but such a great opportunity must not be given up easily."

"If it doesn't work, go find some connections with the Yan family and see if there's anything you can do."

For a few breaths, Liu Yu's expression remained normal, but many thoughts flashed through his mind.

After listening to Li Changkong's words, several people had different reactions.

Li Buyu's eyes fluctuated a little, but they quickly calmed down and returned to his cold look, seemingly showing little interest.

This is not surprising. The Li family has a vague reputation as the first family of the Yuanyang Sect. As a direct descendant of the Li family, Li Buyu has extraordinary talents and can easily obtain a large amount of resources.

Therefore, she is most concerned about her own cultivation realm. She does not have a deep understanding of resources and the like, and is not so enthusiastic about them.

Jing Yongqing looked a little excited, obviously moved by the benefits Li Changkong described, and was a little eager to try.

Although he has good qualifications, he does not have a strong family support behind him, and naturally lacks resources, so he is more interested in things that can earn resources.

When he heard about the team leader's power, association and current situation, Jing Yongqing's heart surged and he was extremely excited.

Liu Yu took in the expressions of the two of them and calmed down by now, but still looked excited on his face.

"Disciple, if you obey your orders, you will definitely live up to Master's expectations!"

The three of them responded in unison.

Although he didn't really want to take on this task, since it was arranged by his master, Li Buyu had no choice but to obey, not to mention Jing Yongqing.

"Strength is the most important thing in a changing situation, so when choosing a team leader, priority will be given to those with strong strength."

"Two days later, the sect will appoint twelve people recognized as powerful from among the sect disciples here as team leaders."

"If other apprentice nephews in the foundation-building stage are interested in competing, they can initiate a challenge, and the winner will be given the qualification to lead the team."

Seeing the three people's reactions, Li Changkong stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction, then continued.

Then he paused and continued:

"Buyu's cultivation level is close to the peak of foundation building. At that time, I can directly nominate as the team leader. All I need to do is defeat the challenger."

"Yongqing's cultivation has just reached the peak of the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. He cannot be directly nominated. He can only defeat other nominees to qualify, so he must be well prepared for this after returning."

"But don't be too persistent. After all, there are many outstanding foundation-building juniors in the sect. Even if you lose, it is just a normal thing. You can still join your senior sister's team by then."

"As for Qingyang, if you are interested in joining the monk team, you can choose to join your senior sister's team."

At this time, Li Changkong showed a rare kindness and seemed to be very patient and considerate of the three of them.

Although he called three people over today, he actually wanted Li Buyu to be the team leader. As for the other two, they were just Li Buyu's right-hand men.

After all, Jing Yongqing is also his direct disciple, and he can't be too biased, so there was the scene just now.

"Thank you Master for your concern, I am deeply grateful!"

Liu Yu, Li Buyu, and Jing Yongqing replied respectfully.

"Well~ Then just do as I say."

"Qingyang, you can retreat first."

Li Changkong sat back at the desk again and said to Liu Yu.

He obviously still needs to give some guidance to his two direct disciples, but Liu Yu, as a registered disciple, does not have this treatment.

"Yes, Master, Qingyang excuses himself!"

After hearing this, Liu Yu bowed solemnly, then exited the small pavilion, followed the path he came from, and left Li Changkong's mansion.

Although he verbally agreed to take advantage of his master, he had no intention of giving up his position as team leader.

It’s just that you can’t confront a Master who is in the Golden Core stage, right?

In this world, it is considered disrespectful for younger people to contradict their elders.

And even if you express your thoughts in person, can you really get Li Changkong's approval?

Liu Yu has never had the habit of placing his hopes on others, and this time will be no exception.

Therefore, he planned to agree to the cheap master's arrangement on the surface, but when the battle for the leadership began, he suddenly launched a challenge, killing first and then showing off, so that he had to accept the reality.

In this way, there is no need to directly confront them, and the possibility of cracks in the "master-disciple relationship" will be much smaller.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Liu Yu did not return directly to his temporary destination.

Instead, he walked towards the cave of a Yan family monk, intending to pay a visit and make some preparations for two days later.

Neither Yan Hongyu nor Yan Quer came to Yan country this time, but he has been cooperating with the Yan family for a long time, and has also met several Yan family foundation builders, and has been in contact with them over the years.
