Small door small faction [Cultivation]

After Elder Feng said those words, a clear male voice sounded, "Are you Xie Dong?"

This was undoubtedly He Xiuyuan's voice.

Xie Dong took a deep breath, nodded, and finally recovered from the fatal accident, and turned his attention to this person.

As soon as he saw it clearly, Xie Dong was stunned for a moment.

At this time, He Xiuyuan was wearing white clothes, not the bright and gorgeous look in the portrait at all, but rather elegant, making the corners of his eyes and brows even colder.And his hand was still holding tightly to the hilt of the sword at his waist, although his expression was not obvious, Xie Dong could already see his anger.

Anger is also natural.

Xie Dong once again put that refreshing smile on his face, pretending that he just knew the other party's identity, "It turns out that you are... Sorry, I was rude just now, senior brother."

The short three-character title caused He Xiuyuan's face to change slightly.

"Don't you like me calling you like that?" Xie Dong said, "Then I should call you, why... Fellow Daoist?"

"That's enough, I don't want to hear you talking nonsense." He Xiuyuan's face darkened, and he directly pulled out the blade and held it up in front of him. The cold light flashed so that the people around him trembled, "I just want to ask you, what did you really do? something?"

Xie Dong pretended to be at a loss, "What things?"

Elder Feng shouted excitedly on his behalf, "Of course it's about you stealing the Xuanling Pill and then stealing the head of the Yuyu Sect!"

He Xiuyuan was silent for a while, and corrected, "No, what I'm asking about is that you trampled on the bones of the former head, refused to set up a memorial tablet, and forbade the disciples of the sect to worship him."

"Huh?" Elder Feng was stunned.

What the hell is this all about?I don't know where the bones of the previous head are, so what kind of trampling is going on?Where did this rumor come from?

"Eldest brother, you are really joking." Xie Dong smiled bitterly, "What did Elder Feng tell you?"

The disciples around also cast their disdainful eyes on Elder Feng.It's fine to call the senior brother over to compete with Xie Dong for the headship. Anyway, there are still many old disciples in the sect who were there eight years ago. They are no strangers to He Xiuyuan and admit that he has the qualifications.But spreading such rumors to senior brother and tarnishing the reputation of Head Xie is really too much.

I'm not, I didn't... Elder Feng felt very wronged.

And He Xiuyuan looked at the performance of the people around him, and finally knew that the truth was not what he thought.

He was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, he had withdrawn his anger just now, and looked a little embarrassed, "Isn't it?"

"Of course not." Xie Dong was categorical and righteous, "Master led me into the Daoist sect with his own hands, and has treated me well these years. No matter how frantic I am, I can't do such a thing!"

He Xiuyuan took a step back, withdrew his sword, and glanced at Chang Yongyi who was still lying on the ground vomiting blood, embarrassing and regretful.

After experiencing Chang Yongyi's cheap mouth, don't you want to just kill that brat?Xie Dong squinted his eyes, thinking to himself that this elder brother looks cold, but he has a really good temper, and his temperament seems to be easy to deceive, probably half of what he has to do today has been done.

"Master's memorial tablet has already been set up, and it is enshrined at the bottom of the main hall, together with the heads of the past generations." Xie Dong said, "If you are worried, senior brother, you can go and see for yourself."

He Xiuyuan looked away, hesitant.

"Martial Nephew He, don't worry about those rumors that don't know where they came from!" Seeing that the situation is not good, Elder Feng hurriedly shouted, "Anyway, this is a brazen thief, and this is always true!"

After being reminded like this, He Xiuyuan finally turned his attention to Xie Dong again.

To be honest, the reason why he was willing to come back this time was only because his father passed away suddenly, and he came back to worship in disbelief. He originally planned to just worship at the bottom of the mountain before leaving, but he happened to hear some mortals at the bottom of the mountain talking about " The anecdote about "the immortal" and believed those rumors were true, so he was so angry that he followed Elder Feng up.

But now that it's all here, He Xiuyuan naturally wants to take a closer look at the new head.

After a while, He Xiuyuan said in a much softer but still not polite tone, "You did rely on the power of the medicine to break through to the condensed essence. The foundation is not stable, and the breath is extremely weak."

Xie Dong nodded with a wry smile.

"For at least ten years, your cultivation base will not make any progress, and even if you are not careful, you will fall back to the foundation building." He Xiuyuan continued, "Even after ten years, if there is not enough spiritual nourishment, Or if your mind is slightly stagnant, it is also difficult to improve your cultivation base. It can even be said that there is a full [-]% possibility that you will stay at this stage for the rest of your life."

Xie Dong's face was a little ugly.Even if he knew the price he had paid for a long time ago, hearing the other party put it out like this at this time, he still felt very painful in his stomach.

Chang Yongyi on the ground was even more staring, his face full of disbelief.

"And you are only in the early stage of Yuan Condensation." He Xiuyuan looked at Xie Dong, and finally said this sentence with a sigh.

The implication is that if the head of Yuyu Sect is a person who is likely to stay in the early stage of Yuan Condensation for the rest of his life, it is really too shabby.

Xie Dong was silent, and after a long while, he smiled and choked out, "I know."

After that, he raised his head and looked straight into He Xiuyuan's eyes, "So you want to replace me, a useless junior, as the head of the sect?"

"If you are the head of the sect and not me," He Xiuyuan asked him, "how confident do you have to manage this sect?"

"At least [-]%." Xie Dong said.

As soon as the words fell, Elder Feng beside him burst out laughing.He Xiuyuan also frowned, obviously dissatisfied with his answer.

"I know, [-]% is not much, and I can't say it very well. But there is always a limit to manpower, and this is my limit." Xie Dong said again, "If you can do better, brother, this position is natural It should be yours to inherit."

"Is this the kind of ambition you have?" He Xiuyuan was a little annoyed again in his words, with the meaning of hating iron but not steel, "If this is the case, how can Yuyumen be handed over to you!"

Elder Feng was extremely happy, with a smile on his face.

"Eldest brother, don't worry." Xie Dong's expression remained unchanged, and he took out a book from his body with his backhand, "As for the affairs of the sect, one must understand the sect before making a decision. As soon as you left, senior brother, Now that eight years have passed, there are some things you should look at more."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and put the book in He Xiuyuan's hands, "This is the sect's account book."

He Xiuyuan looked at Xie Dong in confusion, wondering what this kid was planning.Then when he opened the ledger, he felt dizzy for the first time. He hated such complicated things that required calculations the most.But after looking at it for a while, he can still understand some basic things, such as monthly expenditure, monthly balance, account deficit and so on.

Suddenly, He Xiuyuan's knee seemed to be bent.

"There are a lot of ledgers, and it's too tiring to stand here and look at them. Senior brother, let me go to the study." Xie Dong smiled, "I've read it several times in the past few days, and I can talk to you about it along the way. .”

He Xiuyuan didn't know what to say anymore, he just nodded.

Xie Dong ignored Elder Feng, Chang Yongyi and others who were there, and led the way with a smile.He Xiuyuan was in a daze, and followed step by step.

"There are currently 130 people in the sect, but among them there are a total of 90 Qi-refining disciples, only 39 Foundation-building disciples, and only you, me and Elder Feng for Ningyuan." It needs to supply a collection of spirit pills, and the disciples of the foundation establishment need to supply one spirit pill every month. Counting other expenses, they need at least [-] spirit stones per month. The income of the sect is mostly the former head leader every time he leads the team to go out. A small amount of the treasure hunt comes from the land leased to other sects and the offerings from the mortals at the foot of the mountain. Under the current situation, the biggest income no longer exists, and the rest is only more than a thousand spirit stones per month, which is only a fraction of the expenditure .”

He Xiuyuan looked at him blankly, not knowing how much he understood these words.

"What's even more frightening is that there is astonishing corruption in it. This corruption cannot be pursued, because the elder who was in charge of the accounts has died." Xie Dong exaggeratedly sighed, "He tampered with the accounts. , making people mistakenly think that there is still a surplus of spirit stones stored in the sect, but actually moved a lot into his own pocket. I spent a whole night sorting out the accounts correctly, and finally found out that the spirit stones stored in the sect were actually There are only three thousand left, enough for us for half a month!"

Bang Dang, He Xiuyuan shook his whole body, looking like he was about to fall down.

"But it's still not the scariest thing, we even have foreign debts." Xie Dong turned around, "Brother, after becoming the new head, how confident are you that you can manage this sect well?"

He Xiuyuan looked down at the ledger in his hand, looked up at him again, and then put the resolute ledger back into his hand, "Junior brother, don't say any more, the sect will be handed over to you. Please forgive me just now Self-knowledge."

At this moment, He Xiuyuan only had admiration in his heart.

The junior brother in front of him is 100% confident that he can manage Yuyumen well, and he is [-]% a talent.

"Thank you, brother, for your trust." Xie Dong smiled and took back the account book.

Before he could say anything else, He Xiuyuan sighed, turned and walked out, "In that case, I'll go back, there are still missions hanging on the San Xiumeng..."

"Wait!" Xie Dong was anxious.

What a joke, I finally got tricked in, how could I let him go so easily?

He was eager to keep him, so he put his hand on He Xiuyuan's shoulder.With such a press, Xie Dong only felt a cold aura pervading the body touched by his palm.This icy cold made Xie Dong realize something, causing him to pause suddenly, his expression suddenly became subtle.

The aura in He Xiuyuan's body is of ice type, a very rare physique.

Soon, Xie Dong withdrew the subtle look on his face, and made a look of excitement, "Do you actually want to leave? Senior brother, you have seen the current situation of the sect. You have also seen what price I paid for you. Why do you think I still want to stay in the sect? Why do you think I even paid such a price for the position of head!"

He Xiuyuan stopped in his tracks and looked at him in astonishment.

"It's all because of my deep nostalgia for Master and his elders, and it's all because I have some deep feelings for the sect! If it weren't for Elder Feng who is so useless, I wouldn't have to pay such a price, just to be able to get rid of this Should the responsibility rest on my own shoulders?" Xie Dong's excited performance was too exaggerated, and he even became a little choked up, "As long as the Zongmen can improve, I will be fine. Seeing you come back, senior brother, I am really I'm very happy, I've always hoped that you would be more suitable than me for the position of head, and I don't want to compete with you at all. But you actually want to walk away? Why, you can't be the head, and you are here Don’t you even want to use your power to help Zongmen at this time? Could it be that you really don’t have any feelings for Zongmen?”

When He Xiuyuan heard this, his expression was no longer the original indifference.

Seeing Xie Dong's excited appearance, his lips twitched for a while, and finally he couldn't help but step forward, and patted Xie Dong's shoulder comfortingly, "I'm sorry, Junior Brother...it was my mistake..."

The icy aura penetrated He Xiuyuan's body again, which made Xie Dong unable to calm down even more.At this moment, Xie Dong's heart was filled with a completely different kind of excitement, performing a kind of turbulent waves completely different from the external performance.

At this moment, many things came to Xie Dong's mind.

Why didn't he leave Yuyumen?Of course it's not because of the rhetoric just now, it has nothing to do with the feelings for Zongmen at all.

In the final analysis, the reason why Xie Dong stayed in Yuyumen was only because he had a physique that could not be seen by others, and the old master... saw that Xie Dong's physique was unusual, but he didn't see it right.

It all starts before getting started.

When Xie Dong was young, he often had a fever.As a result, when he secretly escaped from home to play, he fainted on the road, and was met by Master just in time.

The master inspected his body and said impressively that his constitution is a rare pure flame body, which cannot be supported by a mortal body at all. If he does not practice immortality, he will definitely not live to be 20 years old.Because of this, no matter how reluctant Xie's family is, they can only send Xie Dong away.

Of course, after Xie Dong read a lot of books by himself, he finally found that he was not a pure flame body, but another type of physique that looked very similar but was even more deadly, the Qiong Yan body.The same person who does not practice immortality can live no more than twenty, but the difference is that the pure flame body is an excellent physique that is very self-interested, while Xie Dong's jade flame body can enhance the cultivation of others.

Since then, Xie Dong has been cautious, for fear of being found out about his true physique and becoming a robbed commodity.

And the master also genuinely thought that he was really just a body of pure flame, so he took great care of him, one ice condensing pill for conditioning his physique every month never stopped, treating him as if he was his own son.The only thing that is strange is that Master often said in front of Xie Dong that although his real son, Brother He, ran away from home in the past, he was very unfilial, but he was a very good man. Dong'er, you must not have any prejudice against Xiu Yuan. ...

What's even more weird is that the master also pretended to be casual and told Xie Dong from time to time that the pure flame body and the ice-type physique are a match made in heaven, and they are very suitable.

Now that Xie Dong really saw He Xiuyuan, he suddenly felt that he had a lot of foul language to scold.

The reason why the old man was so determined to accept himself as an apprentice at the beginning was that he wanted to find a foster husband for his own son, right?
