I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

Chapter 264 Meeting with senior management

In the spirit forest, the true disciples of Azure Cloud Sect, as well as the senior management, have all gathered here.

"This is the Law Enforcement Hall, the General Affairs Hall, the Logistics Department... they are also the true disciples of our previous generation." Zhang Zhiming introduced aloud.

The arrangement of Azure Cloud Sect for true disciples is as follows. Before the age of 120, true disciples can take on the minimum duties and receive the maximum supply of resources.

But if you fail to break through the Gold Core after the time is up, you will have to bear the corresponding obligations.

Thirty years ago, Lin Chen's previous generation, the monks who had not broken through the Gold Core, plus the monks of the same generation as Zhentian Perfected Being, had either aged and lost their fighting ability, or had passed away, so they came to power.

After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded and said, "Hello everyone."

"Are you the true disciple who has never appeared before?" Among the five, a middle-aged female cultivator, whose body was filled with a faint fragrance of elixir, glanced at him curiously.

"That's right." Lin Chen nodded slightly and confirmed the answer, "Any advice?"

"It's okay." After retracting her gaze, the middle-aged female cultivator's eyes returned to a calm look, and she did not take any additional actions.

After all, she's not stupid either. It is obviously not simple for a true disciple who can mysteriously disappear for such a long time and yet have the Gold Core Patriarch recognize her identity. She is not stupid enough to provoke the other party without knowing what is good.

Besides, they are all adults and have long passed the stage of saving face. As long as there is no profit involved, they cannot say anything properly.

However, she still reminded her aloud: "Since you, as a true disciple, have been missing for so long and come back, you should bear the corresponding responsibilities."

"I will." Lin Chen responded.

Although Lin Chen surprised most people present, they are colleagues after all, and they will not be hostile or even tit-for-tat when interests are not involved.

Moreover, compared to Lin Chen, Zhang Mengyao's current situation attracts their attention more. After all, he is an acquaintance who has known him for a long time.

"Are you... Zhang Mengyao?!" Zhang Zhiming observed carefully and finally recognized the identity of this little girl who looked familiar yet strange. He couldn't help but said in surprise, "What are you doing now?!"

"Senior Sister Mengyao?!" Wang Cheng's eyes suddenly widened, "Why are you rejuvenated? Could it be that you have become the Tianshan Child Grandmother?!"

"Zhang Mengyao?!" The middle-aged female cultivator turned her head when she heard this, and her face became shocked when she saw the person clearly.

At the beginning, she was the one who observed the other party remotely and felt that Zhang Mengyao was hopeless.

After all, a Foundation Building monk has a broken soul and a dead body. The remaining vitality is still hanging on Qidan. What is the difference between this and death.

Not to mention Gold Core, she felt that even a Nascent Soul level alchemist could not save him.

But she never thought that the other party not only survived, but also stood here intact, and seemed to be dozens of years younger. How was this possible? !

Facing the strange looks from everyone, Zhang Mengyao's face darkened, and she said angrily: "This is due to the healing. Don't ask. Besides, the most important thing now is to meet the ancestor."

Everyone looked at each other. Even though they had countless questions in their minds, they hesitated and did not continue to ask.

Wang Cheng wanted to ask something else, but under Zhang Mengyao's sharp gaze, he wisely closed his mouth.

The middle-aged female cultivator glanced at Lin Chen thoughtfully, her eyes flickering.

Soon, everyone did not stay where they were, but walked up the mountain together.

After passing through the jungle composed of tree people, everyone fell into a white mist, and everyone continued to walk with unchanged expressions.

I don’t know how long it took, but I heard a ding, and the scenery in front of me suddenly changed.

A huge spiritual tree covering nearly half of the mountain appeared in front of everyone.

Its shade covers hundreds of meters, and countless Yimu spiritual energy turns into little green lights and falls from the tree.

Its spiritual leaves are green and full of vitality, and where the flowers and fruits are, there are spiritual plants of different shapes and colors.

Chama Zhi, Ember Wood, Dreaming Grass, Sound Transmitting Flower... All kinds of magical spiritual plants in Azure Cloud Sect appear in it!

And underneath, there is an endless, lush medicinal garden. Every spiritual plant in it has reached the Rank Two level and is being nourished by the Yimu spiritual energy that has landed on the trees.

At this moment, an old man with white hair and a childlike face, a fairy-like spirit, was sitting in the air on top of many spiritual plants, nodding to everyone.

"See Evergreen Perfected Being!" Seeing this scene, the ten people quickly bowed.

"Get up." Changqing Perfected Being nodded slightly, but looking at Zhang Mengyao's figure, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, there were two phantoms of Gold Core aura appearing around them, watching them.

This is the aura incarnation of the Gold Core Perfected Being, coming to attend the meeting on their behalf.

"Come on, I don't need to say more if you want to be polite." Changqing Perfected Being didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point, "You also know that our Gold Core Perfected Being has been dealing with more important things recently. What is the current situation of the war? Come quickly!"

Several people who knew about it looked at each other, and finally Zhang Zhiming took a step forward and reported: "Grandmaster, the current situation is like this. The battle situation on the front line is stalemate, the actions of the demon cultivators are unknown, and the situation is strange..."

Then, he explained the current situation one by one.

"The city was attacked, the magic power was secretly spread, and there were even blood cultivators causing chaos, undermining our rule, making the situation confusing..."

Changqing Perfected Being pondered for a moment after hearing the words. Even though he was an old man, he didn't have to feel any trouble about the current situation, and he couldn't think of a solution for a while.

After thinking for a while, Changqing Perfected Being looked at everyone, "Do you have any solutions?"

Everyone fell silent for a moment. In this situation of unknown information, no one could tell whether the devil's method was just to spread suspicion, or whether it was really an ambush prepared for a killer move?

There was silence among the crowd for a while, and Lin Chen finally spoke up: "In fact, I personally prefer to abandon the so-called frontline defense, retain all available forces, and retreat to the Azure Cloud Sect Mountain Gate headquarters to avoid being defeated one by one..."

In Lin Chen's view, the war in the Immortal Cultivation World is not about the size of the territory, but about the high-level monks. Therefore, retaining vitality is more important than anything else.

But before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by a middle-aged monk: "We must not give up just like this. Are we going to give up the territory we have managed for thousands of years to the demon cultivators in vain?!"

Later, he added: "And the most important thing is that if the territory is there, we can trade space for time, but once we hit the mountain gate, we will have no way out!"

"That's right!" Zhang Mengyao also nodded, "Besides, if we just retreat like this, tens of millions of mortals in the remaining territory will be poisoned by the evil cultivators, so we can't retreat!"

"That's right, we can't retreat!"

…

After hearing everyone's objections, Lin Chen fell silent for a moment and did not continue speaking.

Although the demon cultivator's movements are unknown now, in fact, whether it is him or others, who are not human beings, they all vaguely sense a danger that is coming.

But under the current situation, they can't retreat at all, otherwise the demonic cultivators will march straight in, turn all the mortals in the territory into a zombie wave, and besiege the mountain gate. At that time, they may be in danger of overthrowing.

Therefore, everyone knows that retreating to the mountain gate now is the best choice to retain our strength, but we still cannot retreat, otherwise we will really be in big trouble if we retreat.

So even if we know there is danger hidden, we can only try to take it one step at a time and continue to delay time.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen had to admit that although his opponent was a demon cultivator, almost every time he fought with them, the other party used his own unavoidable conspiracy.

These demon cultivators are cunning and insidious, but when it comes to playing the art of war, they are more upright than the others, and they are trying to crush everyone!

Evergreen Perfected Being also wanted to understand this, and couldn't help but ponder for a while before finally speaking: "In this case, we can only adapt to the current situation, and everyone should be prepared."

"yes!"

Just when the ten people had different thoughts and were planning to leave one after another and go back to make preparations, Changqing Perfected Being suddenly said: "The rest of you go first, Lin Chen, you stay here."

"Um?"

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, feeling that this scene seemed familiar.

He felt the probing gazes of the other people, so he didn't say anything more, but nodded.

"You guys should step back first." Changqing Perfected Being said calmly.

Several people looked at each other, said nothing, and simply bowed and left.

After the others had retreated, Changqing Perfected Being looked at Lin Chen and asked, "You're a kid who has always been agitated. What do you think is a good solution to the current situation?"
