Chapter 62 - 61 Sect Planning

62: Chapter 61 Sect Planning 62 -61 Sect Planning “Please, Elder Jiang, check the deed.” Seeing that Jiang Jing and the others were somewhat dazed, the Second Elder of Luotian Sacred Land reminded them aloud. Jiang Jing came around, picked up the deed in her hands, and examined it carefully. Due to the deceit played by the Second Elder of Luotian Sacred Land last time, Jiang Jing looked very meticulously this time. After checking each one, Jiang Jing passed the deeds to Wu Jingshan and Qiu Wenhan for review. Ultimately, all three confirmed that there were no tricks this time. Luotian Sacred Land had not engaged in deceit. Fifteen Spirit Stone Mines and seven Medicine Fields, all around the territory of Emperor Immortal Sect, not far apart! It should be noted that the whole Emperor Immortal Sect originally had only one Spirit Stone Mine and one Medicine Field! When people from the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect came before to seize the Immortal Cloud Mine and that Medicine Field, it was almost the end of the future of Emperor Immortal Sect. Fortunately, Ye Xuan had stepped forward, presented the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, and made them retreat, preserving a ray of hope for Emperor Immortal Sect. Now, Luotian Sacred Land offered up fifteen Spirit Stone Mines and seven Medicine Fields, which completely revitalized the Emperor Immortal Sect! Moreover, the slot for the Southern Ghost Tomb was also promised to Emperor Immortal Sect by Luotian Sacred Land. “All this, because of Ye Xuan…” Even now, Jiang Jing felt as though she was dreaming. The son-in-law she once despised had become the hope of Emperor Immortal Sect, securing so many advantages for it. It was something no one had anticipated. “Elder Jiang, how is it?” the Second Elder from Luotian Sacred Land asked with a smile. Jiang Jing nodded slightly and said, “We will release the prisoners now.” “Thank you for your efforts.” The Second Elder from Luotian Sacred Land bowed. Soon, Lu Chengde led Chai Runting and the others to Emperor Great Hall. At that moment, Chai Runting and the others were all barely hanging on to life, especially Chai Runting, who was nearly out of breath. Seeing this, the Second Elder of Luotian Sacred Land’s complexion stiffened slightly, murderous intent surged within him, but he forcibly suppressed it. He always remembered what the Saint Master had told him upon his return to Luotian Sacred Land. Emperor Immortal Sect, especially Ye Xuan, must not be provoked in the future, or else Luotian Sacred Land would be destroyed. Seeing his fellow disciples in such a dire state, the Second Elder dared not harbor thoughts of revenge. Luckily, he had arrived today; had he not made it within three days, there was no doubt in his mind that Chai Runting and the others would have been executed! ‘This Emperor Immortal Sect is no longer the same as before…’ thought the Second Elder of Luotian Sacred Land to himself. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. “Fellow Daoist, take them back.” Jiang Jing bowed slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Luotian Sacred Land had shown sufficient sincerity, yet Chai Runting and his fellows were in such a pitiful state. But upon further thought, she felt relieved—the deference of Luotian Sacred Land was solely due to the strength of Emperor Immortal Sect, otherwise, Emperor Immortal Sect might have been no more. “Then I shall take my leave.” The Second Elder from Luotian Sacred Land bowed slightly, leading Chai Runting and the others out of the Emperor Great Hall. After watching them leave, Qiu Wenhan still found it unbelievable, “Luotian Sacred Land really chose to submit, even giving up the slot for the Southern Ghost Tomb?” “It seems to be the case for now,” Wu Jingshan said, somewhat uncertainly. Jiang Jing took a deep breath and showed a smile, “No matter what, our Emperor Immortal Sect has won a great victory!” “But we shouldn’t celebrate too soon,” her smile faded, and her expression turned grave as she continued, “That senior from Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect was taught a lesson by Ye Xuan last time, and Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect has yet to respond. They might arrive any day now.” “Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect is the greatest enemy of Emperor Immortal Sect!” Jiang Jing spoke gravely. At her words, Wu Jingshan, Qiu Wenhan, and the others also reined in their smiles, feeling a heavy burden on their hearts. Indeed, that matter from before was still unresolved. No one knew when the people from Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect might arrive. But one thing was certain—once Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect caused trouble, Emperor Immortal Sect would be in a difficult position. What they did not know was that back at Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, the Sect Leader himself had ordered to suppress the matter. The submission of Zhao Zichuan, the Saint Master of Luotian Sacred Land, was largely due to the attitude of Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect. If they knew this, they would be yet more astonished. “What does the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect count for?” At that moment, Ye Xuan casually walked in from outside and smiled, “Later, their Sect Leader will definitely come to see me personally.” “Ye Xuan?” Seeing Ye Xuan appear, everyone was somewhat surprised. Jiang Jing slightly raised her eyebrows and said, “You are the greatest contributor to the Emperor Immortal Sect, and that cannot be denied, but regarding the matter of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, you should still restrain yourself a bit.” Originally, when Ning Zhengtian came back, he offered Cultivation Technique and Elixir in exchange for the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Order and Ye Xuan chose to refuse. There was nothing wrong with that, but Ye Xuan had beaten Ning Zhengtian so badly that he was in a sorry state. On this matter, Jiang Jing had always felt there was an issue with Ye Xuan’s conduct. And now that the old matter was brought up again, Jiang Jing still felt the same. “It’s just a Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, what’s there to fear?” Ye Xuan replied calmly, not taking it too seriously. For others, the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect might be a colossal entity, but for Ye Xuan, it was just so-so. Entities even more formidable than the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, Ye Xuan might not even consider them important. For instance, the Supreme Pavilion, Thousand Emperor Dynasty, these ancient and enormous entities… Upon hearing this, everyone felt embarrassed. “You!” Jiang Jing immediately became frustrated, but she also knew Ye Xuan’s temperament. She glared at him, then heaved a sigh, “Alright, let’s not talk about this matter.” “Now our Sect already has sixteen Spirit Stone Mines and eight Medicine Fields, it is time to recruit new disciples.” Jiang Jing changed the subject. “After the previous turmoil, quite a few disciples left the Sect. We indeed need to replenish with fresh blood,” Qiu Wenhan also nodded in agreement. “What do you think about this, sir?” Wu Jingshan, however, turned his gaze towards Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan slightly shook his head and said, “If it were up to me, I would invest half of the Spirit Stone Mines into the Spirit Array Palace, and all the Medicine Fields into the Alchemy Hall, instead of recruiting new disciples to split these resources.” “The Spirit Array Palace concerns the life and death of our Emperor Immortal Sect, and the Alchemy Hall concerns the supply of Elixir.” “Both are indispensable.” “The remaining Spirit Stone Mines would have all their Spirit Stones invested into this batch of disciples.” “Striving for excellence is the best approach.” “The principle of biting off more than one can chew, I presume I don’t need to say more, right?” Ye Xuan smiled faintly. Jiang Jing upon hearing this, slightly raised her eyebrows and said, “In that case, our Sect might face a gap in the ranks of disciples, which could be detrimental to future development.” Ye Xuan spoke in a calm voice, “As long as the Emperor Immortal Sect grows stronger, do you think we will still need to actively recruit disciples?” Qiu Wenhan and Wu Jingshan upon hearing this, both nodded, “Indeed so.” “But for our Sect to truly become stronger, there is still a long way to go,” Jiang Jing shook her head, not quite agreeing with Ye Xuan’s proposal. “The Southern Ghost Tomb in six months is an opportunity,” Ye Xuan said, “At that time, Youwei and I will lead a group of disciples there, to enter the Southern Ghost Tomb and show the cultivators of the Southern Domain the strength of our Sect.” “Do you know how many young elites there are in the Southern Domain? With your kind of strength, it’s simply not enough…” Jiang Jing said somewhat speechlessly. Among the younger generation of the Emperor Immortal Sect now, the only one worth mentioning was Zhou Youwei. The others still had a long way to go. There was also Leng Yifan before, but now he was gone. In response to Jiang Jing’s disparaging tone, Ye Xuan smiled faintly and said, “With Youwei there, what’s there to fear? I believe Youwei can definitely sweep through the elites of the Southern Domain.” “Let’s talk about this matter later,” Jiang Jing did not say much. “The distribution of the Spirit Stone Mines and Medicine Fields will follow what the sir suggested,” Wu Jingshan said. Qiu Wenhan and Lu Chengde also nodded one after another. Seeing this, Jiang Jing did not object further. Although Ye Xuan’s proposal had many loopholes, it indeed was a good suggestion. After finalizing the plan, Jiang Jing looked at Ye Xuan and said: “Ye Xuan, come with me for a moment.” Ye Xuan was somewhat puzzled but still followed her. After arriving at the Inner Hall, Jiang Jing turned around and said to Ye Xuan, “In a few days, it will be your grandfather’s birthday. I originally planned to take Youwei with me, but now that you have regained your senses and I’m also busy with Sect affairs, it would be better for you and Youwei to go.” “Your sister Bingyi is also over there, after the birthday is over, you and Youwei should bring her back with you.” “Can you manage that?” Jiang Jing looked at Ye Xuan.
