If it were an ordinary small clan cultivating immortals, Shen Nansheng would not care at all, but the Li family has a special location, located in the buffer zone. One hundred and twenty years ago, in order to ensure the reproduction and rest of the new immigrants, the five major sects in Dongyi Land issued an order that subordinate sects were not allowed to occupy the buffer land, nor were they allowed to compete for the resources for cultivating immortals in the buffer land.
Although the five major sects had sent people to conduct a general inspection when the land was divided and designated after the war, most of the places designated as buffer lands did not contain much resources for cultivating immortals. But after all, there was little time and tight manpower at that time, so many places were omitted, which laid the groundwork for some sects to be hostile to each other.
It was fine at the beginning, as each sect and sect was busy managing the territory and recuperating, but after more than a hundred years of recuperation, each sect gradually recovered. No matter how barren the buffer land is, it was once a demon land without even a single human habitation. There are all kinds of resources for cultivating immortals in it. In addition, coupled with the possible omissions of the five major sects more than a hundred years ago, various far-sighted sects, They all set their eyes on these inferior lands.
However, each sect still had a prohibition imposed by the five major sects on its head. The ban lasted for two years and one hundred and twenty years. Each sect did not dare to directly violate the prohibition of the five major sects, so they all chose to send some disciples to go there. A buffer place to test the five major sects.
His Jinding Sect is naturally no exception. But who would have expected that the five major sects did not respond much to this, so each sect gradually intensified its efforts. Some sects even directly violated the ban and openly built strongholds in buffer lands and went to mortal villages to measure spiritual roots and recruit people. disciple.
His Jinding Sect was ready to make a move, but some time ago he suddenly received a warning from his immediate superior, the Xuantian Sword Sect, telling them to restrain themselves. The sect that openly violated the prohibition was severely punished. Although it was not deprived of the mountain sect territory, it was required to send a large number of disciples unconditionally every year for the sect's control. It can be said that the future of the entire sect is bleak.
Under this situation, all the sects in Dongyi Land have restrained themselves a lot, and Jinding Sect is no exception.
"Senior Brother Nansheng, the Xuantian Sword Sect warned us some time ago. I don't think it's good for us to set foot in the buffer zone at this juncture, right?"
The speaker was an old man on the left side of Shen Nansheng. He was Sun Wang, Shen Nansheng's colleague. He was the deputy head of the left outer pavilion of Jinding Hall and one of Shen Nansheng's deputies.
The middle-aged man on Sun Wang's left spoke in agreement: "Senior Brother Sun Wang is right. The ban is about to expire in two months. There is no need for us to cause trouble at this time."
This middle-aged man is also the deputy head of the left outer pavilion of Jinding Hall. His surname is Lin and his name is Lin Zitang. The power structure of Jindingtang is divided into the left and right outer cabinets and the main hall cabinet. Each of the left and right outer cabinets has a cabinet chief and four deputy cabinet chiefs, who are responsible for preliminary processing of information and giving plans. If it is an important matter, it will be sent to the cabinet. If it is not important, it will be arranged directly without having to worry about it.
Those who can serve in Jinding Hall are all old people from Jinding Sect. Their cultivation level may not be high, but they must be loyal to Jinding Sect. Therefore, everyone present will put forward their own opinions based on the interests of Jinding Sect.
Several people present were all old monsters over ninety years old, who had become spirits with age. Shen Nansheng didn't need to explain. As soon as they mentioned the name of the buffer place, they knew what Shen Nansheng was thinking. Although the two people on Shen Nansheng's right did not speak, the expressions on their faces showed their agreement with what Sun Wang said.
Among the left and right outer cabinets, the cabinet chief has great power, but the opinions of the deputy cabinet chief cannot be ignored. If three deputy cabinet chiefs object to a certain proposal, although the cabinet chief can request enforcement, he must report it to the cabinet and go in person to explain the reasons. If the four deputy cabinet chiefs object, the proposal will be directly rejected and will not be allowed to be implemented.
Therefore, Shen Nansheng had to find a way to convince the four deputy cabinet masters in front of him, otherwise, his idea would not be implemented.
"I have considered what the two junior brothers said, but there is a precedent for this matter." As he said that, Shen Nansheng took out a scroll from his side, shook it, and passed it to Sun Wang on his left: " Forty-six years ago, the monks in the buffer area south of Qiweimen established the Sanshan Sect, a small sect for cultivating immortals, and later defected to Qiweimen and became a vassal. With this precedent, I think there is indeed room for maneuver in the case of the Li family in Yuepanshan."
Sun Wang took it, flipped it through and checked it out and handed it to the left hand side. Lin Zitang took it and also handed it out after looking through it. The third old man took it without looking at it, and handed it directly to the crowned old man on Shen Nansheng's right, and said: "I know what Senior Brother Nansheng said, but Qi Weimen was also attacked by Xuantian Sword after that. Zong’s warning and punishment, at this juncture, I don’t think we need to take risks.”
Before Shen Nansheng could speak, the old man with the crown on his right spoke up: "I think there is room for maneuver in this matter. After all, the purpose of this ban imposed by the five major sects is to ensure the reproduction of the human race, and it is not to restrict development. . But what Senior Brother Wang said is reasonable. I think we don’t need to be so arrogant. We can get in touch with the Li family first and lend them some spiritual grass and spiritual seeds for them to plant, and our people will harvest them. In this way, both I’ve given Xuantian Sword Sect face and gained some reputation, so why not do it?”
"That's right." Shen Nansheng nodded and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Zhang agrees with what I thought. We can also use this to test the Xuantian Sword Sect. If there is any problem, the worst we can do is throw the Li family away. Anyway, they don’t have status. If it’s no problem, I think we can allocate a shop to them in Jinding Shanfang City, and then select a few lower-level disciples to do some marriage matters with them. I don’t think it will be more than twenty years, and that’s where it will be. This is another place for me to stay at Jindingmen."
"exactly."
The old man surnamed Zhang who wore the crown praised him and stopped talking. On the other side, Sun Wang also nodded after hearing this and said: "If that's the case, then I have no objection. I just need to send some more disciples to find out the origin of the Li family in Panshan Mountain, whether it's the Shi family or the Yu family." Just be sent by the ghost sect."
"Senior Brother Sun is right." It was Lin Zitang who spoke. He stroked his beard and sighed: "If there are no problems, you can teach them how to cultivate spiritual fields and let them plant some spiritual grasses and spiritual valleys. , it can also save me the trouble of Jinding Sect."
Shen Nansheng nodded and said: "What the junior brothers said is that I will send people to investigate clearly. In addition, if there is no problem, I plan to let them participate in the next hunt, which can be regarded as a formal appearance in front of each sect. ,how?"
After that, he added: "Of course, I will send some people secretly to protect them and not let anything happen to them."
Everyone nodded and expressed no opinion, except for the old man named Wang who disagreed with a straight face. But seeing that everyone agreed, he had nothing to say, so he nodded, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Seeing that no one had any objections, a smile appeared on Shen Nansheng's face: "Since all the junior brothers have no objections, I will report it to the cabinet. If there is no problem, we will arrange it as soon as possible. How about it?"
After hearing this, the other four people stood up and bowed, saying in unison: "Senior Brother Nansheng makes the decision."
