Eternal Tranquility

Hao Yuan said: "Fellow Taoist Taiwei, do you have a goal that suits your heart?"

Liu Qinghuan pondered: "You only talked about the advantages of these places, what about the disadvantages?"

Haoyuan smiled and said: "As expected, I can't fool you, fellow Taoist. Indeed, there can't be anything perfect. Where there are advantages, there must also be disadvantages."

He pointed at Zhong Yutian: "This place is located in the center of Qingming. The advantage is that it is connected in all directions, but the disadvantage is that it is connected in all directions. There are too many monks coming and going, a mixture of fish and dragons, and there are also many chambers of commerce stationed there, making it difficult to manage."

"Is there more?" Liu Qinghuan asked.

Haoyuan thought for a while: "That's about it."

Liu Qinghuan pointed at the large area next to Zhongyutian: "Fellow Taoist seems to have forgotten to mention that next to Zhongyutian is Zhongjitian, and Zhongjitian is the fiefdom of Lord Wori."

He touched his chin and continued: "When the space catastrophe first broke out, I had a discussion with that Taoist friend, and I saw that the other party was overbearing and rude, and he was not an easy person to get along with."

Haoyuan smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist Wo Ri does have a bad temper, but he is in his Zhongji Heaven and you are in your Zhongyu Heaven. The two do not interfere with each other..."

"No!" Liu Qinghuan shook his head: "Even ordinary people have to consider whether their neighbors can get along well with each other when moving."

Then he said: "Zhongyutian is in such a good location, but it has become an unclaimed land. It is probably because there is such a powerful neighbor, and there are usually a lot of disputes in the territory, right?"

Haoyuan smiled awkwardly: "Fellow Taoist, you are the Taoist leader, and your status can completely surpass Wo Ri, why should you be afraid of him? What's more, Zhongyutian is indeed rich, and the taxes collected from various chambers of commerce alone are a large sum of spiritual stones... …”

Liu Qinghuan gave him a meaningful look and said directly: "I don't like so many messy people in my fief, next one!"

The good idea of ​​the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance must be that they couldn't suppress Wo Ri, so they wanted to push him out. It was a good idea.

Haoyuan is a member of the Zhenyi lineage who is the current leader of the Immortal Alliance, and Vorin is one of the nine elders of the Presbyterian Church. The two parties have always been in a relationship of overt and covert struggle, cooperation and mutual restraint.

Liu Qinghuan, on the other hand, has an aloof status. He has ignored the attempts of both parties to win over him over the years and does not want to get involved in the disputes between them at all. Therefore, no matter how good Zhong Yutian is, he cannot ask for her.

"Okay then..." Haoyuan said: "What about Qingxiao Realm? Taoist friend Taiyi's Lingkong Mountain with its tiered pavilions and green tiles is one of the most famous Taoist palaces in Qingming. There is no need to explain it. If you build another one, you can save a lot of spiritual stones and spiritual materials for building the temple."

Liu Qinghuan asked: "Taiyi has been running Qingxiao Realm for at least a thousand years, right?"

"Nearly two thousand years." Haoyuan said: "Taiyi became famous very early. He ranked among the four poles about two thousand five hundred years ago."

Liu Qinghuan nodded and said: "Taiyi knows that he cannot survive the ninth level of ascension, and he must also know that his descendants and disciples cannot defend the Qingxiao realm. Do you think he will collect the resources in the Qingxiao realm before the deadline? , so that future generations can take it away?”

"This..." Haoyuan hesitated.

Liu Qinghuan suddenly thought of something and pondered: "Zixu disappeared, Yuanming died in battle, their fiefdom..."

Haoyuan looked solemn: "Fellow Taoist Zixu has sent back the news, and he will be reincarnated in the near future; Master Yuanming is a disciple of the Nine Reincarnations Buddha, and he will be reincarnated and return soon. What's more, there is also Master Huiming in Dalengyan Temple. , which is different from the situation of fellow Taoist Taiyi.”

Liu Qinghuan said in surprise: "Master Yuanming turned out to be a Nine-Return Buddha, that's great!"

He had always felt sorry for Yuan Ming's death, and now he couldn't help but feel sincerely happy when he heard that Yuan Ming could be reincarnated.

"Fellow Taoist, if you don't like Zhongyutian and Qingxiao Realm, there are only two places left." Haoyuan returned to the topic: "Xuanling Realm should be in line with Taoist Friend's temperament. Although it is small, it is only relatively small. It’s really a very suitable place for meditation.”

"Indeed." Liu Qinghuan agreed: "But I also want to get to know Zhu Minghai first before making a decision."

He walked to the far right side of the long case and carefully looked at the area where Zhu Minghai was located: "The so-called rich resources actually mean that ferocious beasts are everywhere in this area, and the environment is extremely dangerous, right?"

"Fellow Taoist saw it out!" Haoyuan sighed, nodded and admitted: "Yes, Zhuminghai is a good place, but it is also a hot potato that ordinary people cannot conquer or bite."

He pointed to the blank space on the map and said: "There are many monsters in the void, and they often go to the Zhuming Sea to cause trouble; there are also powerful sea beasts in the sea, which will climb to the shore and bite people.

In the past, every owner of Zhuminghai struggled with these monsters, and some even lost their lives due to it. Therefore, Zhuminghai was a land without an owner for about half of the time, relying entirely on the Immortal Alliance to recruit monster hunting teams from time to time. Go kill those ferocious beasts. but……"

Haoyuan suddenly changed the topic and continued: "There is no doubt that the number of spiritual materials and objects in Zhuminghai can be ranked at the forefront in all realms of Qingming!

Okay, that's pretty much it. It depends on how you choose. "

Liu Qinghuan nodded, thought for a moment and then said: "This matter is of great importance. I have to discuss it with my fellow disciples before I can make a decision. Fellow Taoist, how about I reply to the Immortal Alliance in seven days?"

"Of course!" Haoyuan stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Then I will go back to Qingming first. I just need to send you a letter from my fellow Taoist to make arrangements. There will be many handover matters by then, so it is best to make arrangements in advance."

Haoyuan was also a busy person in the Immortal Alliance and had to be responsible for many things. He quickly left in a hurry.

After seeing the other party off, Liu Qinghuan turned to Jiang Nianen and ordered: "Send out all the disciples who stayed in Qingming and Boyunju in Dagushan to collect information from those four places. The more detailed the better. In addition, we must also send people on the ground. Go check it out, take pictures with the photo crystal, and show it to me when you come back."

"Yes!" Jiang Nianen took the order and left, while Liu Qinghuan turned around and went to Dayan's peak.

…

"So you think..." After listening to his narration, Dayan asked: "The list given by the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance is full of pitfalls, and there are many hidden temptations?"

"Yes!" Liu Qinghuan said: "Choosing Zhongyutian is equivalent to opposing the Presbyterian Church and becoming a member of Zhenyi's side;

Choosing Qingxiao Realm will inevitably offend Taiyi's disciples and descendants, regardless of whether the other party is willing to give up Lingkong Mountain. Even those old friends who were on good terms with Taiyi were also offended.

Xuanling Realm is located in a remote area, far away from the center of power. It is probably what they most wanted me to choose, and it is also the most suitable for my taste and the temper I always show outside.

As for Zhu Minghai, it is the biggest temptation! "

Liu Qinghuan's eyes were deep and he said: "Choose Zhuminghai, which shows that my plan is very big, even bigger than Zhongyutian and Qingxiao Realm. But the reason why the Immortal Alliance feels confident to take out Zhuminghai is because the ferocious beasts are rampant there, and it is dangerous and bad. It will also consume my time and attention to a certain extent.”

Dayan nodded and said: "You have thought clearly, so what is your decision?"

Before Liu Qinghuan could speak, he added: "Don't think too much, don't have any worries, just follow your heart."

Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Senior brother, you seem to have guessed what I will choose?"

Dayan sighed: "Yes, you and I have been in the same sect for so many years, so we naturally understand you better than outsiders."

He looked at Liu Qinghuan with emotion and said, "You seem to be a man of few desires, indifferent to fame and wealth, and don't like fighting for power, but you carry a heavy sense of responsibility.

You feel that you must take responsibility for the sect, Qing Ming, and your title of 'Taoist Leader'.

That's why when the demons tear open the space and break the demon-sealing pillar behind the door, you risk your own life and death and drive them back.

Later, he went in and out of the demon world several times to prevent the demons from invading the human world. He also went to those small realms to repair space cracks. He even accepted the dangerous task of destroying the Suohen Bridge without saying a word. "

Liu Qinghuan's face became slightly hot when Dayan said it, and he argued: "Actually, I am not as righteous as my senior brother said. It's just that I happened to meet something and caught up with it. I thought it was feasible, so I did it..."

Dayan looked at him with a smile, his eyes were gentle and tolerant. Liu Qinghuan couldn't speak anymore and felt a rare embarrassment.

Dayan patted him on the shoulder: "Let's not talk about that - you want to choose Zhu Minghai, am I right?"

"Yes..." Liu Qinghuan said sternly: "The water in Zhongyutian and Qingxiao realms is too deep and too mixed to be worth flowing. But if you want to practice Qingxiao, where can't you practice? The cave of our sect, the wave clouds on Dagushan. The residence is not much worse than Xuanling Realm, and no one will disturb it.

So there is no need to choose another Xuanling Domain, then only Zhu Minghai is left. "

Liu Qinghuan stood up and paced back and forth in the room while saying: "The Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance wants to see if I will continue to stay out of the matter, or if I am determined to develop and expand my power in Qingming. If I continue to retreat, won't it make them look down on me?

However, choosing those two places would be a bit eye-catching and could easily become the target of public criticism, which would be detrimental to the long-term development of the sect.

In addition, although our sect has developed rapidly in recent years, our foundation is still a bit lacking. On the contrary, the disciples have become a little impetuous and have done a lot of hateful things in my name. "

Although Liu Qinghuan does not care about the daily affairs of the Wenshi Sect, he still knows what he should know. As his reputation has grown in recent years, the Wenshi Sect has also been on a ladder to the sky. It is inevitable that some disciples will become restless. Acting arrogantly outside, taking things by force.

It is not enough to rely on sect rules and strong pressure for such matters. Over time, the atmosphere in the sect will deteriorate. Therefore, such disciples should either be thrown into the battlefield or thrown into a pile of monsters to have a good experience.

"I can protect the sect for a day, but what if I am gone one day?" Liu Qinghuan said: "So the sect has to be prepared for danger in times of peace. Yunmengze is too small, which is also the foundation of my sect. Instead of following Yunmengze, The Shaoyang Sect and Ziwei Jiange compete for resources, so it is better to go out and develop.

And the disciples must also stand up for themselves, so as not to be like Taiyi, who is scattered like a tree falling down and hozens falling apart when he dies. "

Liu Qinghuan's words were spoken from the bottom of his heart, and they were spoken only to Dayan by a few thoughtful people.

Finally, he sighed: "Born in trouble and dying in happiness, Zhuminghai is a place where disciples can stay alert at all times and get full experience!"

It seems that many readers also know Liu Qinghuan very well, hahaha! In addition, two errors in the previous chapter have been corrected.
