Chapter 944: Chapter 519 Dividing the family’s past_2 Chapter 944: Chapter 519 Dividing the family’s past_2 With this thought in mind, Luo Sancai found the sight of Liu Jingxian relishing the crowd’s flattery and his smile ever broadening increasingly irkso when looking at Luo Yixiu beside him.
“Your brother’s son and daughter have decent Spiritual Root Talents. I will arrange for them to join the Divine Wood Sect when it next recruits disciples.”
Upon hearing Luo Sancai’s words, Luo Yixiu’s face turned stark white.
His own brother was rely a mixed Spiritual Root, assigned early on by the family to practice the Strong Kidney Technique, and then to copulate with female cultivators with a Spiritual Root, selected through trades from all over the place.
Over the past twenty or so years, Luo Yixiu had lost count of just how many nephews and nieces he had, but he knew that among them, a pair had talents not a whit inferior to his own and Luo Yixuan’s.
If the Luo family arranged for them to join the sect, the resources forrly allocated for Luo Yixiu’s cultivation would be transferred to them instead.
“Ancestor, give one more chance. I will surely succeed in refining the Foundation Building Pills by the next batch at the sect,” Luo Yixiu appealed with persistence on behalf of himself.
Faced with a matter affecting his own cultivation path, Luo Yixiu had no choice but to argue for himself boldly.
“Since you have such ambition, then work hard on your own,” Luo Sancai said indifferently, implying that the family would no longer provide resources for his cultivation; he would have to figure it out by himself.
“Ancestor, Xuan and I have a great relationship. Aren’t you afraid she’ll be unhappy when she cos back?”
At this point, Luo Yixiu couldn’t care less, starting to invoke Luo Yixuan’s na for leverage.
After hearing this, Luo Sancai couldn’t help but chuckle coldly. He certainly hadn’t forgotten the attitude Luo Yixuan had after her initial Foundation Establishnt when she returned to the family—apart from her mother, with whom she still had so affection, she treated all other mbers of the Luo family with cold disdain, including her own father. She mocked and ridiculed Luo Yixiu, seemingly wishing that everyone in the Luo family knew she was the brightest of all, that they had been blind back then.
For this reason, in the past decade, Luo Sancai had started adjusting the family’s strategy. For those female mbers with a Spiritual Root, they no longer simply traded with other families for breeding, but instead tried to cultivate them together to see if they could raise another “Luo Yixuan” who had affection for the family.
“You don’t need to follow . I’m going to get close to Elder Chen’s disciple, and see if I can send your niece to serve by Elder Chen’s side as a maid,” Luo Sancai announced without delay.
“Ancestor, Elder Chen is a cultivator dedicated to bitter cultivation, usually in seclusion, and doesn’t like to have people around to serve,” Luo Yixiu quickly advised Luo Sancai, a fact that was common knowledge within the Divine Wood Sect.
“Your niece resembles Xuan quite a bit. We need to arrange for her to et with Elder Chen at least once. Perhaps Elder Chen, upon seeing her, will be reminded of the missing Xuan, and in his longing, might take her in,” Luo Sancai said, turning thoughtful.
Luo Sancai, older even than Liu Jingxian, likely only had twenty or thirty years left to live.
The family’s previous hope in Divine Wood Sect, Luo Shupin, died in Lei Nation, the promising Luo Yixiu proved incompetent, and the only one they counted on, Luo Yixuan, had gone missing. However, this was perhaps for the better. After all, Luo Yixuan had little affection for the Luo family. With her missing from Elder Chen’s side, a female cultivator from the family who was loyal in her stead could take her place, possibly inheriting Luo Yixuan’s position in Elder Chen’s heart.
With these thoughts, Luo Sancai promptly changed his deanor and made his way towards Zhuo Ming, who was surrounded by even more people.
He had investigated before; Luo Yixuan had a good relationship with this Second Senior Sister, often farming together and attending to Chen Mobai at Xiao Nanshan.
Just at this mont, in the midst of a conversation at the center of Divine Wood City, Chu Zuoshu suddenly stopped speaking. With a respectful expression, he took out a long, rectangular box, fiddled with it sohow, and the voice of Chen Mobai erged from within, astonishing everyone present.
“Yes, yes, I’ll co over with him right away,” Chu Zuoshu replied after answering the call.
After he finished the call, Chu Zuoshu looked up at Kong Shanxu who was on his left. Kong Shanxu had also heard the contents and, after straightening his attire and ensuring there were no issues, nodded at Chu Zuoshu.
“Ladies and gentlen, Kong Shixiong and I will go to et the three Ancestors. Later, there will be Rank-2 Spirit Rice and Spiritual Wine cultivated personally by Elder Chen on offer. ng Shixiong, please help entertain the guests for ,” Chu Zuoshu addressed those present.
ng Hong had arrived today too, and seeing Chen Mobai’s Core Formation, he was exceptionally pleased, glowing with health.
His rapport with several Foundation Establishnt families from Jian Country was excellent; he laughed heartily at the side, boasting that it was under his term as Sect Leader that Chen Mobai ca to the Divine Wood Sect, taking the credit for himself.
Following Chu Zuoshu’s departure, ng Hong walked up to the main seat with a smile, continuing his boasts.
anwhile, Ye Bopei of Back to Sky Valley watched Kong Shanxu fly away, his brow slightly furrowed.
He was anxious.
Now that the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff together have four Golden Core Cultivators, will they re-integrate into the Five Elents Sect?
If Zhou Shengqing reaches “Nascent Soul Formation,” then by that ti, the Divine Wood Sect having absorbed the Five Elents Sect would beco so powerful that it might even surpass the era when Ancestor Hunyuan was present.
Should that happen, what would our Back to Sky Valley and other powers in the Eastern Wilderness do?
Amidst his worries, Ye Bopei glanced at the veiled Xue Ting beside him, considering whether he should talk with this Foundation Establishnt cultivator from the Snow-blowing Palace first. If both parties proceed or retreat together, it would make the Divine Wood Sect pay them more respect.
…
Chen Mobai and the other two, who were enjoying their tea, naturally had no idea that summoning Kong Shanxu had triggered such concerns among Back to Sky Valley and other forces in the Eastern Wilderness.
“Greetings, Uncle-Master Mobai, Uncle-Master Fu, and Uncle-Master Chen!”
After Kong Shanxu arrived, he greeted Chen Mobai and the others with the courtesy due from a junior.
“The initial separation was a matter of necessity, but after all, we co from the sa lineage. Go back and inform Brother Zhou Ye: do not be misled by the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace any longer.”
Fu Zongjue’s words left Kong Shanxu with a wry smile. Though he held a high position within the Five Elents Sect, he dared not respond to such a matter in front of Golden Core Cultivators.
“I will certainly report back to my Sect Leader after I return.”
“The Five Elents ridians connect like limbs of one body. This Eastern Wilderness was won by Primordial Ancestral Master; even if it decays in our hands, we can’t let outsiders take it, right?”
“Yes, Uncle-Master speaks truly. Nevertheless, it would be best if the Elders and Uncle-Masters themselves discussed this matter with the Sect Leader face to face. I can only relay the ssage.”
Kong Shanxu, ever cautious, managed to respond without slipping in front of the three Golden Core oppressors.
“We’re just reminding you. If you want to talk, let Zhou Ye co to the Divine Wood Sect.”
Fu Zongjue seed to have a rather negative impression of the Golden Core Ancestor from the Five Elents Sect, and his tone had beco much less polite by this point.
“This…”
After hearing this, Kong Shanxu didn’t dare agree and could only stand there awkwardly, wiping his sweat.
“I happen to have so business in the Ming Nation, so Nephew Kong, please pass on a ssage. Set a ti when Brother Zhou can co over for a face-to-face talk.”
It was at this mont that Chen Mobai spoke.
The last known location of his missing junior disciple was at the Guiyuan Sect in the Ming Nation. He had not dared to go there before due to the nacing attention from Zhao Xuankang and others outside.
Now, with the Purple Electric Sword in hand, he could traverse the Eastern Wilderness unhindered and was free to search for Luo Yixuan.
“Yes, yes, yes, this is my ssage Talisman. Uncle-Master Chen, when you co to Hunyuan Immortal City, just call for .”
Kong Shanxu, feeling relieved, handed a talisman to Chen Mobai and was then led away by Chu Zuoshu.
“Does Brother Fu have a grudge against that Brother Zhou Ye?”
Chen Mobai asked curiously.
“Do you know why our Five Elents Sect’s five ridians ended up separating?”
“It’s said that Brother Zhou Shengqing originally thought he would inherit the Five Elents Sect and Hunyuan Immortal City, but right before the old ancestor passed away in ditation, he designated Brother Zhou Ye as the successor. Dissatisfied, the forr proposed to divide the sect.”
“That’s the official story.”
The one speaking now was Mo Douguang, who narrowed his eyes as if recalling the scene from those days, and couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
“Before the Sect Leader passed away in ditation, he asked us to expend sixty years’ worth of our foundational spiritual power to help our Junior Brother Zhou Ye cultivate that Primordial Dao Fruit. Brother Nu Jiang and Sister Sheng, although unwilling, didn’t want to defy the Sect Leader’s final wishes. Only I and Brother Zhou Shengqing, being sowhat more straightforward, refused to agree even as the Sect Leader was taking his last breath.”
