Chapter 51 Recommending Elders
"My nephew is indeed clever."
Li Fulai, his thoughts exposed, smiled with narrowed eyes.
Lu Qingyun looked thoughtful and did not answer.
The Qingchi Demonic Sect has caused quite a stir in recent years, and the sect has not been indifferent to it.
Each market town has added the position of deputy elder, drawing in late-stage Qi Refining cultivators from the outer sect to fill the role.
Now it was Pingyang Market's turn, and Li Fulai didn't want his scheme to steal the spiritual essence to be exposed, so he had the idea of putting him in a new position.
The Great Zhao Kingdom has not yet been conquered, and the Great De Kingdom is currently relatively safe.
On the contrary, the appointment of a new deputy elder is a matter of unpredictable fortune for Pingyang Market.
If the elder who came hadn't gotten along with him, he wouldn't be so relaxed and carefree now.
"Nephew, what's your decision?"
Li Fulai smiled and rubbed his hands together.
"If my junior brother is willing to serve as the deputy elder of the market, I will definitely give my full support."
Now that his cultivation has broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, it wouldn't be unreasonable for Li Fulai to personally recommend him to serve as a deputy elder.
The sect's requirements are not so strict. If each market town believes it is capable of handling the invasion of the demonic sect, it can also apply for cultivators from the market town to serve as such.
"Thank you, Martial Uncle, but I still refuse."
Lu Qingyun's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand.
He was not tempted by Li Fulai.
If he wanted to stay in Pingyang Market for a long time, agreeing to Li Fulai's request wouldn't be a problem.
But now that the Qingchi Demonic Sect is coming on strong, Lu Qingyun has no intention of staying in Pingyang Market to wait for death.
If I can cultivate peacefully in Pingyang Market for a few days, I will cultivate for those few days.
If the Qingchi Demonic Sect were to conquer Dazhao and begin invading Dade, he would immediately request to be transferred away from the market.
Or they could fake their death and escape to stable countries like Daliang.
If one becomes the deputy elder of the market, the sect will place greater emphasis on supervision, unlike the lenient treatment given to ordinary disciples.
From beginning to end, Lu Qingyun never intended to fight to the death in Pingyang Market.
Therefore, they naturally wouldn't agree to Li Fulai's request.
"Nephew, are you really not going to reconsider?"
Li Fulai's face was long and drawn. He said unwillingly, "The deputy elder of the market earns two hundred spirit stones every month for free. Are you really willing to give that up, nephew?"
"If my junior brother agrees, I am willing to personally give him two thousand spirit stones as compensation."
"Not considering it."
Lu Qingyun turned and left, leaving Li Fulai standing there.
"My master is in such a hurry for me to fill the vacancy, I'm afraid I must have done something wrong. I dare not get involved for no reason."
Li Fulai's expression changed several times. He breathed heavily, and after a long while, he seemed to have made up his mind.
"Nephew, please don't refuse."
"If you agree to your master's request, your master will not only give you two thousand five hundred spirit stones, but also a secret method for raising spirit beasts."
Li Fulai said with an almost ferocious expression, "But if you don't agree, I will immediately spend all my wealth to find Steward Sun Yang to come to Pingyang."
"Uncle-Master, I've heard that you and Deacon Sun have a long-standing feud. He's just a few steps away from breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage and is frantically searching the sect for cultivators with a primary Wood and secondary Metal element. Do you think Sun Yang will let you off the hook then?"
Sun Yang is the name of the black-robed deacon.
Li Fulai didn't want to break ties with Lu Qingyun.
Lu Qingyun's cultivation level is now similar to his, and he is also on good terms with the Bai family.
But he could not accept that after years of plotting to obtain the essence of the spirit, someone else would get a share, or that his plan would be thwarted.
Once he obtains the spiritual essence, Li Fulai is confident that he can break through to the Qi Refining Perfection stage in one fell swoop, and may even be able to establish his foundation in the future.
Therefore, for the sake of his own path, he would do anything, even threaten Lu Qingyun, or perish together with him.
"My senior uncle has investigated me very thoroughly."
Lu Qingyun suddenly turned around and said coldly.
Although Li Fulai hasn't taken any direct action against him over the years, he has clearly done a lot of investigation into him behind the scenes.
He really didn't want the black-robed deacon to be transferred here, because even if the other party couldn't succeed, it would still make him restless.
The black-robed deacon served as a deacon on the Miscellaneous Service Peak not because he couldn't go to a better place, but simply because the Miscellaneous Service Peak was the easiest place for him to find the spiritual roots he needed.
His cultivation level had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. If he wanted to come to Pingyang Market, the sect would naturally agree.
Lu Qingyun had no doubt that the other party might have such thoughts.
Due to the invasion of the Qingchi Demonic Sect, the Yunxia Sect has changed its recruitment of disciples to once every five years.
The current servants' peak is probably no longer able to satisfy the black-robed deacon's appetite.
Instead, being transferred to a country like Dade, where the Dao of Immortality is flourishing, makes it easier for him to find spiritual roots of wood and metal.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingyun's eyes turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, "Five thousand spirit stones. If my martial uncle doesn't give them to me, I'd rather have Steward Sun come over."
"Serving as this deputy elder is almost equivalent to tying oneself to Pingyang Market until the invasion of the Demonic Sect ends before being transferred elsewhere."
"Such a great risk is no less than the arrival of Steward Sun for me. Therefore, unless my martial uncle gives me spirit stones, even though I don't know what my martial uncle is plotting, I would rather my martial uncle's efforts come to nothing."
"Five thousand spirit stones! Nephew, why don't you just rob me?"
Li Fulai almost shouted it out; his face was a mixture of emotions, turning blue and purple in an instant.
He had already spent five mid-grade spirit stones to buy a magic weapon, which was a huge financial burden. If he were to spend another five thousand spirit stones, he could forget about ever coming to the Spring Oriole Pavilion to enjoy himself for the next year.
"Uncle-Master, isn't your scheme worth at least five thousand spirit stones?"
Lu Qingyun remained indifferent. Even though he had been tricked by Li Fulai, he was determined to make the other party bleed badly and not let him continue to be so happy.
Li Fulai's expression changed slightly.
He knew what Lu Qingyun had guessed, but Lu Qingyun probably didn't know that he was plotting to obtain the spiritual essence of the Pingyang spiritual vein, or even its spiritual source.
Once he refines the spiritual marrow and spiritual source, he will surely be able to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Inside a private room at Chunying Pavilion, the cheerful voice of Changyang Daoist could be heard.
Li Fulai stared intently at Lu Qingyun, gritted his teeth, and agreed.
"Alright, nephew, I agree. You will receive those spirit stones tomorrow!"
"Then thank you very much, Uncle-Master."
Leaving behind a cold remark, Lu Qingyun departed from Chunying Pavilion.
Li Fulai stared at Lu Qingyun's retreating figure with bloodshot eyes, breathing heavily.
"It's temporary, all of this is temporary..."
As long as he can break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, he will receive the same treatment as Daoist Changyang.
Those shameless women in the Spring Oriole Pavilion would shamelessly swarm around him, letting him have his way with them for free, and even taking pride in having sex with him.
By then.
He could also make Lu Qingyun return all the spirit stones he had robbed while the fire was raging.
Cultivation is the foundation.
Although he was itching with desire, Li Fulai managed to suppress his lust and anger.
Even if he couldn't go to Chunying Pavilion, there were plenty of cheap restaurants in the entire Pingyang market to meet his needs.
Li Fulai glared hatefully at Lu Qingyun's direction, then at the carefree Changyang Daoist inside the Chunying Pavilion, before spitting at the entrance of the Chunying Pavilion.
Disguised, he turned and went to a restaurant that cost only a few spirit stones.
Several days later, Li Fulai arrived outside the Lingtian in Pingyang with a mournful face.
"My good junior nephew, you are skilled in healing spirit trees, but do you know how to cure venereal diseases?"
"A fellow Daoist of mine has unfortunately contracted this disease. Junior Nephew, please give your master some advice."
