Rebirth of the soul rekindles the dream of the beauty of the country

Rulong was at the Qi Refining Stage, so naturally he would call a cultivator who was at a higher stage than him "senior". This was the rule of the cultivation world that Rulong had learned.

The kind-looking monk waved his hand and said, "Don't call me senior. My name is Lu Yuan. Just call me Brother Lu Yuan! We are from the same sect, and my cultivation is only slightly higher than yours."

Seeing that Senior Brother Lu was easy to talk to, Rulong said without hesitation: "Senior Brother Lu, my name is Rulong, and I am a new inner sect disciple. I wonder what Senior Brother Lu wants to talk to me about?"

Lu Yuan said: "I know you are new here, Lao Zhang has reported it, and I have seen you from afar, but the master, the head of the sect, is in seclusion, so I can't see you.

As the core disciple taught by the sect master himself, I have always been handling these trivial matters for my master, so I plan to let you get to know the sect on your own first, and then have a talk with you after you have a clear idea.

We met today, let’s get the business done.”

Rulong said, "Brother Lu will make the decision."

Lu Yuan took out two jade cups from his storage bag, took out a jar of good wine and poured them for the two of them, saying, "Junior Brother Rulong, I believe you have seen the situation of the sect. It doesn't seem to be the case with what Lao Zhang said, right?"

Rulong pretended to smile bitterly and said, "Actually, although there is nothing wrong with what Lao Zhang said, but, hey! I was overthinking it."

Lu Yuan said, "Don't blame Lao Zhang. He is also thinking about the sect. Now that we are all members of the same sect, we must protect the interests of the sect. We should protect people like Lao Zhang."

When Rulong heard this, he was shocked. What kind of logic is this? A liar is not punished and should be protected! Thanks to Senior Brother Lu for saying this. If he hadn't known about the situation of the sect a long time ago, he would definitely be furious now.

Seeing that Rulong was speechless, Senior Brother Lu Yuan smiled awkwardly and said, “Junior Brother Rulong, I was in the same situation as you when I first came here. I can understand your feelings, but since we are from the same sect, it is fate, destined by heaven, so we must have a broad heart and treat the brothers and sisters in the sect well.

We are all one family, and we need to make progress together, develop together, help each other, and create a good atmosphere for cooperation. Don’t be petty.”

Rulong pretended to be enlightened by Senior Brother Lu, nodded and said: "Senior Brother Lu is right, as a member of the sect, we should share the sect's worries and care about the sect.

The sect is my home, and the sect relies on everyone. I will worry about the sect's worries first, and then be happy about the sect's happiness. I will definitely unite all the forces that can be united in the sect and devote myself to the sect until my death."

Lu Yuan was dumbfounded. This junior brother was too sensible and could talk more nonsense than himself, so he said, "Junior brother Rulong, now I will convey the master's admonition, you must listen carefully."

Like a dragon, he sat upright and listened attentively.

Lu Yuan said in the tone of his master: "Disciple, even though the sect is not doing well now, your master is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. After your master breaks through, I will go to Qingshan Sect. Then our Qingquan Sect will have a backer. It will be difficult for us not to prosper in the future, so just practice with peace of mind."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he stopped looking like an elder lecturing a younger person, and said, "Junior Brother Rulong, do you understand?"

Rulong thought to himself, this sect leader is really good at deceiving people. He wanted him to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, but he didn't know when it would take.

People think that the Nascent Soul stage is so easy to achieve, and many Jindan cultivators cannot achieve it in their entire life.

However, there is nothing wrong with what the sect leader said. At least it sounds hopeful and it is a big pie in the sky. There is not much fault to be found in it. It is much more effective than many sensational slogans. No wonder the Qingquan Sect is on the verge of collapse but can still survive.

Rulong asked: "After reaching Nascent Soul stage, why didn't the Sect Master lead us to go higher, further, and stronger? Why did he go to Qingshan Sect?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said: "Junior brother, you don't know that there are ten first-level sects in our Jinxian Continent, and each first-level sect controls a certain area of ​​power.

There are ten second-level sects under one first-level sect, and there are ten third-level sects under each second-level sect. There are ten fourth-level sects under each third-level sect, and there are many inferior sects under each fourth-level sect.

Rulong interrupted and said, "Then we are considered a mainstream sect."

Lu Yuan said with some pride: "Yes, although it is only a fourth-level sect? But it is already considered to be in the mainstream, so there are more opportunities to rise."

Lu Yuan continued, "There are as many as 1000 fourth-level sects like ours, such as the Qi Sect, and there are frequent changes. But even though our sect is in decline, it has been able to continue to exist. Do you know why?"

Rulong said, "I would like to hear Senior Brother Lu's detailed explanation."

Lu Yuan said: "Because our master once saved the leader of Qingshan Sect, he will take care of our sect and will not let others destroy our sect at will.

First, our sect has done a favor to Qingshan Sect, and he must repay the favor; second, Qingshan Sect cannot ruin its reputation. "

Rulong asked again: "Then why is it that our sect has a backer but is not growing stronger?"

Lu Yuan said with emotion: "Then we have to talk about the Qingquan Secret Realm.

After our sect was established, we discovered a secret realm, so it was called the Qingquan Secret Realm, but the news leaked out. Later, with the intervention of the Qingshan Sect, the secret realm was opened to all fourth-level sects once every 10 years, and each time only cultivators below the Jindan stage could participate.

As for the benefits gained, apart from handing over a portion to Qingshan Sect, the rest will be kept by each of them.

Since the Qingquan Secret Realm is in the Qingquan Sect, others are afraid that we will get the upper hand because we are close to it, so they all want to weaken the power of the Qingquan Sect and prevent it from becoming bigger. That's why the Qingquan Sect is in such a dilapidated state, but it has not fallen.

Of course, Qingshan Sect would also like to see a Qingquan Sect that is neither defeated nor strong guarding the Qingquan Secret Realm."

Rulong understood a lot. These were not mentioned in the sect introduction outside. If it weren’t for Senior Brother Lu’s explanation, it would have taken some time for him to fully understand them.

Lu Yuan continued, "Junior brother, do you think that because our sect has no future and no opportunities for development, you think that joining the sect is not a long-term solution? If you just want to go to the Qingquan Secret Realm, of course I can understand that."

Rulong immediately denied: "Brother, what are you talking about? I joined the sect and I will share the honor and disgrace with the sect. I didn't come here for the Qingquan Secret Realm."

Rulong actually felt bitter in his heart. He was thinking about joining a small sect and growing stronger, but he didn't want to join the Qingquan Sect. Although it was easy to enter the Qingquan Secret Realm, the subsequent development was worrying.

Rulong could already guess that the disciples of Qingquan Sect in the secret realm were definitely being targeted, and that the sect leader’s ability was limited.

After entering the secret realm and getting the benefits, I have to change jobs again. I don’t want to be fickle, so don’t force me.

When Lu Yuan heard Rulong deny that he came here for Qingquan Secret Realm, he smiled and said, "Brother, don't deny it. There's nothing abnormal about it. I also came here for Qingquan Secret Realm. At this time, most of the new disciples from various sects come here for Qingquan Secret Realm. This is known to everyone.

Many years ago, our sect would accept many new members during these time periods, but later on, the number became fewer and fewer. Junior brother, do you understand why?"

Rulong pretended not to know. Since he was a rookie, he had to behave like a rookie.

Rulong said, "Brother Lu, please speak."

Lu Yuan said: "Our sect is always targeted every time we enter the secret realm, so few people can come out of the secret realm, which is why our sect is on the verge of collapse. Do you still want to enter the Qingquan Secret Realm?"

Rulong pretended to be enlightened, but his face showed determination, and he said: "As long as the sect needs me, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Lu Yuan drank another cup, poured another for Rulong, and said, "You have ambition."

Rulong then said: "Then why did Master go to Qingshan Sect after his Nascent Soul stage?"

Lu Yuan said: "This is the rule of Qingshan Sect. Anyone who has reached the Nascent Soul stage in any of the fourth-level sects within the Qingshan Sect must enter Qingshan Sect.

In fact, this is quite good. We are all like one big sect. Qingshan Sect is no longer threatened by subordinate sects, and the fourth-level sects are not suppressed as much. It will develop in a healthy way and everyone will benefit.

This is a unique rule of Qingshan Sect, so Qingshan Sect has developed well among the third-level sects. The territory is relatively peaceful, with less fighting and killing. "

Rulong had another idea. Qingshan Sect was good. He would go there in the future.

However, this time we need to investigate thoroughly, so we came to Qingquan Sect in a hurry. But it’s nothing if it’s just to enter the Qingquan Secret Realm.

The reason for my previous negligence was that I didn't pay much attention to anything other than entering the Qingquan Secret Realm, so I didn't consider it enough.

The two of them got more and more interested in the conversation, they drank more and more wine, and Lu Yuan's topics became more and more off-topic.

Lu Yuan recalled the past and said, "Brother, I was already a free cultivator back then, and I was so happy and free. But because I was too excited, I wanted to join a sect, and I met that dishonest Old Zhang, who lured me to the sect.

The sect was better off at that time than it is now, with at least seven or eight Foundation Establishment cultivators. But later on, most of the Foundation Establishment cultivators left or died, leaving only three.

The rest of the Qi training monks also left or died. It's dangerous here, and there's no future. Who would stay here? As a result, those who are in the late stage of Qi training can become inner disciples. Don't you think it's miserable?"

Rulong felt that Senior Brother Lu Yuan had begun to forget his job and started to complain.

Rulong interrupted without losing any time and said, "Brother, why don't you leave?"

Senior Brother Lu Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Junior Brother, I don't think you... are a bad person.

I tell you the truth, I wanted to leave, but Senior Sister is so nice, I am embarrassed to leave."

Rulong was surprised and said, "Why don't you just take Senior Sister with you?

Besides, why should I be embarrassed to leave?"

Lu Yuanbei glanced at Rulong and said, "You just came here, you will understand later, this sister is the daughter of the master, how can she leave?

How can I leave?"

Lu Yuan added: "So, don't take advantage of Senior Sister in the future. If you eat someone's food, you will be soft-hearted. If you take someone's food, you will be soft-hearted."

Rulong asked again: "Who are the other two foundation-building monks?"

Lu Yuan added: "One is my senior sister, who is in the middle stage of foundation building and has a higher cultivation level than me. The other one is Wang Xiaoer with small eyes, who is in the early stage of foundation building and has the same cultivation level as me.

Seeing that Senior Sister treats him well, Xiaoyan takes advantage of the situation to climb up the ladder and pesters Senior Sister every day. If it weren’t for Senior Sister for the sake of the sect, she would have turned against him long ago.”

There was a hint of contempt in Lu Yuan's words.

Rulong understood that the three foundation-building stages of the sect were all related to his senior sister. It was really difficult for his senior sister. In order to help the sect retain talents, she had to use the beauty trap. Thinking that he would also have to endure the attack of his senior sister's beauty trap next, Rulong became defensive.
