Chapter 51: The Immortal King’s sermon is nothing better than this (Part 1)
While Li Qiye was teaching Taoism in the Washing Stone Valley, the senior leaders of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect held a secret meeting. In fact, only the six elders were qualified to attend this meeting.
This meeting was personally convened by the chief elder, Elder Gu. The elder sat at the top and looked around the other five elders. Finally, he said in a deep voice: "This time we gather in the same room with the five junior brothers and let's talk about the imperial body ointment. thing."
When the great elder spoke, the other five elders couldn't help but look at each other, and then they couldn't help but fall silent. Among the six elders, the great elder ranks first in terms of qualifications and merit.
Moreover, the Great Elder is still the direct disciple of the previous head of the sect. It can be said that the status of the Great Elder is unmatched by anyone in the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. Although there is a rumor circulating within the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect that the current head of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, Emperor Su Yong, is the successor of the previous head! The current head is a direct disciple secretly trained by the previous head.
However, regarding this matter, the six elders knew very well that this was not the case.
Among the six elders, except for Cao Xiong, the other four elders do not have the ambition to compete for the master position, because they themselves know clearly that whether it is moral conduct, merit, or status, they do not have the qualifications to compete for the master position. door condition.
In fact, the other four elders believed in their hearts that the only one who could ascend to the position of leader was the great elder.
"We once promised Qiye that if he can get married to the Nine Saint Demon Sect, we will give him the imperial body ointment." The great elder looked at the five elders and said in a deep voice.
The other four elders were silent, but Cao Xiong was particularly unhappy. If Li Qiye really married and became the Nine Saint Demon Sect, the future would have a great impact on his disciple He Yingjian's bid to become the leader.
Cao Xiong has his own plan. Even if he has no chance to ascend to the position of leader in this life, he also hopes that his apprentice He Yingjian can become the next generation leader. In fact, He Yingjian has lived up to his high expectations. What's terrible is that an inexplicable Li Qiye appears in the middle of the battle!
If Li Qiye can really take Li Shuangyan, and with his status as the chief disciple, it will be difficult for anyone to shake his tendency to become the next generation leader, even the leader Su Yonghuang.
Elder Sun, the fourth among the six elders, stroked his long beard, nodded and said: "At this time, we agree that since the seven nights have been completed, it is appropriate to give the imperial body ointment."
As the fourth elder among the six elders, Elder Sun had already supported Li Qiye unconsciously. The reason why Elder Sun supports Li Qiye is very simple. It is because of his disciple Protector Mo!
Elder Sun has more than one disciple. In fact, Protector Mo is the one he dislikes most among his disciples. Protector Mo’s conduct is not the worst among his disciples. However, Protector Mo is completely opposite to his apprentice Nan Huairen. Personality: Protector Mo is taciturn and not good at communication. In addition, his talent is not the best among his brothers. Therefore, Elder Sun does not think that Protector Mo can inherit his mantle.
Elder Sun plans to support another disciple to succeed him as an elder in the future! However, things have changed recently. Li Qiye's words suddenly changed everything! Because of Li Qiye’s words, Protector Mo and his disciple Nan Huairen became the messengers between the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect and the Nine Saint Demon Sect. Yu He, the chief protector of the Nine Saint Demon Sect, did everything through Protector Mo. Conveyed to the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect with Nan Huairen.
You must know Yu He's status in the ancient Niujiang Kingdom. As a prince, he is usually a figure that even the six elders may not have access to, but now he has access to everything. Protector Mo and Nan Huairen, all of a sudden, The status of Protector Mo and Nan Huairen in the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect has been greatly improved.
His disciple Sun benefited a lot, and Elder Sun certainly supported Li Qiye.
"As you fellow juniors also know, our sect still has a copy of Imperial Body Cream," the great elder said.
Such words made the other elders silent, and Cao Xiong's heart ached. The Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect's Royal Body Cream has been stored for a long time, and the previous leader started saving it. However, this Royal Body Cream has never been used.
In fact, the Great Elder has made great achievements, and this royal body ointment could have been awarded to him long ago. However, the Great Elder has been reluctant to use it, because the Great Elder thinks that he is too old and limited by his talent to use this ointment. A portion of Royal Body Cream is a waste.
Even the great elder was reluctant to use this imperial body ointment. As for the other elders, they were even more embarrassed and had no reason to use this imperial body ointment.
According to the thinking of the six elders at that time, in the future, the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect will have a disciple with excellent talent. If this disciple can stand alone in the future, this imperial body paste will be given to this disciple to cast a body!
Now this imperial body ointment was given to Li Qiye. This matter was agreed by the great elder. The other four elders couldn't say anything, but Cao Xiong's heart ached because he had thought about the future of this imperial body ointment. It was given to his apprentice He Yingjian for the second casting.
"However, Li Qiye requested that the main medicine of this royal body ointment be replaced with the animal marrow of the Hell Iron Bull." The great elder said solemnly.
As soon as these words came out, the other four elders present couldn't help but look slightly shocked. As the third elder, Elder Qian was surprised and said: "Brother, the Hell Iron Ox, this is an extremely rare beast. Everyone knows that, The beast marrow of the Hell Iron Bull is priced at a sky-high price in the market! As the main ingredient of the imperial body plaster, the beast marrow of this level must be at least a hundred thousand years old. The price is scary!"
The Great Elder nodded lightly and said: "I have contacted the auction house, and there happens to be a copy of the marrow of the Hell Iron Bull. It is very young, more than 90,000 years old, which is considered to be 100,000 years old. The other party is willing to exchange the marrow with us, but... We must add another thousand yuan of ancient holy jade!"
"A thousand pieces of ancient holy jade?" Upon hearing this, Elder Zhou, who was ranked fifth, changed his face and said, "This is the lion's mouth. A thousand pieces of ancient holy jade, we can buy two hundred thousand." Years of animal marrow!”
"Senior brother, Li Qiye is going too far." Cao Xiong seized this extremely rare opportunity and said in a deep voice: "When will it be his turn to bargain over the major matters of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect? He is just the third A third-generation disciple dares to bargain with us. This is really disrespectful! It's too presumptuous."
When Cao Xiong said such words, the great elder had a sullen face and said nothing else. Cao Xiong said to the other four elders present: "All of you brothers and sisters know how precious a portion of Imperial Body Cream is. To give a portion of Imperial Body Cream to a third-generation disciple is already a great debt of gratitude from our Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. How dare you bargain for something so ungrateful..."
"...Besides, Li Qiye's identity is questionable. He might be a spy! If we use an extremely precious imperial body ointment on a traitor, wouldn't this be like beating a dog with a meat bun? If we add another thousand With just a piece of ancient holy jade, our Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect has suffered heavy losses. Maybe one day Li Qiye will benefit from our Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect and turn against him..." This opportunity was very rare for Cao Xiong, so he lobbied hard. Of course the other four elders did not want Li Qiye to get this imperial body ointment.
Elder Wu, the sixth among the six elders, could not help but persuade the eldest elder: "Senior brother, we have done a great favor to the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect by giving us the imperial body anointing. As a third-generation disciple, Li Qiye should be enlightened! Besides, senior brother also knows that there are very few ancient holy jade in our sect. If we take out a thousand yuan this time, it will almost exhaust the inventory. This matter is not trivial, senior brother."
The other elders couldn't help but look at the great elder. Although he didn't say anything, his expression couldn't be more obvious. Seeing this scene, Cao Xiong was secretly happy. Half the job was done. After a while, he would fan the flames again, and maybe Li Qiye wouldn't even be able to get the imperial body ointment.
"A thousand pieces of fine jade, it's not worth it." The third elder couldn't help but say.
There is no denying that the four elders respect the First Elder very much. The First Elder has a very high status in their minds and even in the entire Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, and it is difficult for anyone to shake him.
However, things have changed over the years. The elders have always hoped that the Great Elder could take charge of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, and the elders secretly reject the current leader Su Yonghuang! The ideal leader in their hearts is the Great Elder.
However, the great elder has never expressed his position on the position of head. As time goes by, other elders are inevitably disappointed. Especially in recent years, the great elders have shown themselves to be disheartened and have completely lost their former glory. This has made the elders begin to waver in their hearts.
On the contrary, as the second-ranked among the six elders, Cao Xiong has never given up his position as the leader. Cao Xiong has become too close to Dong Shenglong, a guest of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. In the hearts of the elders, Cao Xiong is not ideal. The choice of the leader, but if in the future, you really have to choose between Emperor Su Yong and Cao Xiong, this will make the elders hesitate again.
Especially Cao Xiong's repeated hints of goodwill recently, which made the four elders somewhat shaken in their hearts.
Today, when the great elder mentioned this matter, Cao Xiong pointed out the stakes involved, which made the four elders feel shaken.
Just when Cao Xiong got the opportunity, the Great Elder's eyes suddenly brightened. In an instant, the Great Elder was so powerful that his whole body was filled with light. In this moment, the Great Elder seemed to have changed into a different person, with a soaring demeanor. , the behavior is full of majesty! Among the majestic power, there is a faint hint of the power of a prince.
After all, the Great Elder is a man who can be called a hero. Among the six Elders, he has been practicing for the longest time and has the deepest knowledge! He suddenly showed off his power, which made other elders feel shocked and felt the oppressive atmosphere.
At this time, the Great Elder spoke slowly and said: "It is reasonable for your junior brothers to object, but you also understand the current trend. The Nine Saint Demon Sect is very important to our Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect! Li Qiye is very important to our Cleansing Incense Sect!" It is also very important to the ancient sect! Without him, there would be no Nine Saint Demon Sect! Therefore, I summoned all the junior brothers to come here because I hope that all the junior brothers can pass this matter!"
