Ren Wobai solemnly said, "Young Master, I understand you don't want to expose your identity, but there's a great opportunity in front of you now. Our Dan God Sect is weak, and King Qi and King Qin both eye us covetously, wanting to bring us under their control."
"So many years have passed, and King Qin's Envoy has beco increasingly arrogant, completely disregarding our Dan God Sect. Our Dan God Sect may have been bought over, but no one is willing to beco a dog or a slave to King Qin. Although the Sect Master is currently in seclusion, as long as he knows your identity, he would have nothing to say. You are the Son of the Netherworld Emperor. As long as our Dan God Sect follows you, allowing you to confront the Seven Kings again and avenge the calamities they caused years ago, it's not impossible!"
"By then, when you raise your arm, those who know you're still alive within the Hidden Sect will flock to you like bees to honey. It won't take long before the Dan God Sect can help you achieve domination, to create more glory!"
Ren Wobai spoke with fervent emotion.
Ye Guichen was also sowhat moved.
The scenario painted was indeed tempting enough.
But to sum up, it's essentially similar to the plan of King Qin and the others.
Support the Puppet Emperor to order the feudal lords.
As long as Ye Guichen stays in the Dan God Sect, the Dan God Sect would beco orthodox, gathering many of the Nether Emperor's loyalists to pledge allegiance.
By then, leveraging the Dan God Sect to extend outward and deal with the Seven Kings would be a breeze.
Ye Guichen had also thought of this plan before, but now he knows too little about the Hidden Sect, making the plan sowhat risky.
Now, however, Ren Wobai had brought it up prematurely.
Ye Guichen felt helpless.
But clearly, he was tempted as well.
The Dan God Sect currently felt as if a large stone was pressed against its chest, either erupting or being crushed by it.
No one is willing to be crushed to death, and they're even less willing to be King Qin's lackeys, King Qin's dogs, to be ordered around by him.
But there's no way around it.
Their only hope is for the Sect Master to break through and at least suppress the ambitions of King Qin and King Qi in cultivation, preventing them from acting unscrupulously.
But currently, it seems that the Sect Master's breakthrough is far distant.
Lei Long was dumbfounded.
The stimulation today was too great.
First, King Qin's Envoy was killed, and before he could recover, a new disciple turned out to be the Son of the Nether Emperor.
Then, he found himself inexplicably kneeling.
Now hearing Ren Wobai's speech, it seed ready to drag the entire Dan God Sect into the waters.
Only after a long while did Lei Long co to his senses, but his back was already soaked.
This matter was too big.
So big that even as the Sixth Elder, he couldn't decide.
Even the seven elders of the Dan God Sect couldn't decide.
The Sect Master must decide personally.
But now the Sect Master is in seclusion, isn't this a deadlock?
"Ren Wobai, you, you fellow, did you have preditated intentions?" Lei Long looked at Ren Wobai, half-laughing, half-crying.
Ren Wobai did not hide, "Elder Lei, I indeed had personal motives, but it wasn't preditated. Originally, I planned to keep the Young Master's identity hidden, not to tell anyone, just to cling to his thigh, hoping to bask in so glory when he soared. But today, seeing the arrogance of King Qin's Envoy, I couldn't hold back."
"Young Master, please redeem my sin of disrespect!" Ren Wobai even changed his address, looking at Ye Guichen respectfully and sincerely.
What else could Ye Guichen say?
Put on airs?
Forget about it.
He didn't know what to do now.
But since Ren Wobai had made everything clear and transparent, Ye Guichen decided to go with the flow.
But in this situation, if King Qin sends soldiers, the Dan God Sect might indeed be unable to resist.
Without the Nether Emperor's loyalists to protect him, no matter how high his cultivation, he might find it hard to escape disaster.
The urgent matter is still to discuss a long-term plan.
"Forget it, get up." Ye Guichen wasn't pretentious. He helped Ren Wobai up.
Then he helped Elder Lei up, "Elder Lei, let's talk standing up. I, as the Son of the Netherworld Emperor, am currently all alone and useless."
Lei Long stood up dully, his head muddled, seemingly still doubting, "Ye Sheng, are you really the Son of the Nether Emperor?"
"Elder Lei, use a respectful title!" Ren Wobai's face turned stern, imdiately becoming Ye Guichen's lackey.
Ye Guichen quite enjoyed this feeling, but Lei Long felt completely uncomfortable.
What was this all about?
A newly arrived disciple rising above him, why did it feel so suffocating?
But the fact that Ye Guichen had killed so many of King Qin's envoys was undeniable.
Even if Ye Guichen wasn't the Son of the Nether Emperor, just his murder skills alone were enough to overpower him, an elder.
"That, that fourth-grade Great Returning Pill, was it really your creation?" Lei Long stared into Ye Guichen's eyes, asking again.
In fact, it wasn't just Lei Long who was a bit doubtful; almost everyone else in the sect couldn't believe that the Great Returning Pill was invented by Ye Guichen.
Although this pill didn't have substantial use for cultivation, it was a genuine fourth-grade pill, not to ntion its profound significance.
Especially for female cultivators, it was irresistible.
If they could be mass-produced, even just this one Great Returning Pill could make the Dan God Sect imnsely wealthy, earning countless Spirit Stones.
Having money would naturally make developing the sect a matter of course.
He had seen many alchemy geniuses, but none like him, whose alchemy talent was matched with such high cultivation skill.
Ye Guichen knew he needed to boost his prestige and did not deny it, "Elder Lei, I guarantee it's genuine. If you don't believe , I can demonstrate refining a Great Returning Pill on the spot for you. In fact, along this journey, I've thought about and slightly improved the formula. I'm confident I can refine a fifth-grade Great Returning Pill."
Pfft!
Upon hearing this, Lei Long almost stumbled and fell.
The sa pill could be upgraded?
As an elder of the Dan God Sect, he had never heard of such a thing.
Especially upgrading a fourth-grade pill to a fifth-grade pill, how nonsensical.
"Really, really?" Lei Long asked, skeptical.
Ye Guichen nodded, "Although I haven't been involved with the Alchemy Dao for long, I've already discovered that alchemy and dicine share common principles. It's like the sa herb can beco poison in so hands, but in others, it saves lives, becoming a sacred healing drug."
"Pills follow the sa principle. The sa pill, if refined differently, can vary vastly in purity and potency. Moreover, if a different herb is introduced into the pill, the resulting product can also vary greatly."
"Take this Great Returning Pill as an example; it's called a fourth-grade pill because its effect lasts a month upon intake. But if you can make a single Great Returning Pill's effect last a year, wouldn't it deserve the title of a fifth-grade pill?"
Lei Long and Ren Wobai were stunned by Ye Guichen's words.
Just like Sect Leader Ye of the Penglai Pill Sect back then, it completely overturned their understanding of alchemy.
Suddenly, they found that their accumulated alchemy knowledge over the years, how co it was all wrong?
"Well, what should we do with these bodies?" Lei Long's expression changed, and after a long ti, he pointed to the corpses on the ground, his tone now carried a consultative nature.
