Chapter 309 Team Leader Controversy (Two Chapters in One)
"My apprentice from Qingyang, come and see me quickly."
Liu Yu probed into the Zongmen Token with a ray of spiritual consciousness, and instantly read the information inside.
Unexpectedly, the news this time was not a sect mission, but a summons from the cheap master Li Changkong.
"At this time, thinking of me as a registered disciple, could it be that you want to catch a strong man?"
Thinking of this, Liu Yu's eyes flashed with thought, and he waved his hand to put the Zongmen token back into the storage bag, stood up and said to the three people who were looking at him:
"I dare not refuse to obey the master's summons, please forgive me."
"Let's end this gathering here, Liu still has to go one step ahead."
Although he didn't know what Li Changkong's purpose was for summoning him, he didn't intend to get into a confrontation with him directly against his will, and he still wanted to check the situation first.
After all, when you are away from home, you still have to rely on this cheap master in many places.
Of course, it would be embarrassing to arrange any mission that was too dangerous, and Liu Yu would find a way to shirk it no matter what.
Although as a disciple, it is natural and right to obey the orders of the master, but he is not that kind of pedantic cultivator, and he is only a named disciple.
"Since it was summoned by the elders, Senior Brother Liu should go first, maybe there will be good news."
"This gathering is almost over, brothers and sisters, let me bid farewell!"
Yan Kai got up when he heard the words, smiled and cupped his hands.
He didn't respond to Cui Liang's previous words, as if he didn't want to get entangled with it.
"Farewell!"
Jiang Qiushui and Cui Liang also got up, and then walked down the teahouse together.
The dispute of ideas is very hurtful, and if it is not good, it will turn each other into enemies.
Veteran cultivators like Cui Liang knew this well, so they didn't chase after them.
The four of them went out of the teahouse and said some polite words, then left in different directions.
Liu Yu bid farewell to the three and agreed on a time to meet next time.
There was a smile on his face when he turned around, and he walked towards the City Lord's Mansion without stopping.
In the current small team of four, only Jiang Qiushui is his, so there is no need to worry about sudden betrayal.
Cui Liang and Yan Kai are just more familiar with each other than other fellow students, and their relationship is relatively better, and the time they can contact is limited, so they can't be completely relieved.
It would be best if there was a rift between the two, so that they wouldn't have to worry about joining forces, and it would be more beneficial for him to control the small team.
Therefore, Liu Yu didn't really intend to reconcile the two, but was rather happy to see it succeed.
……
Ancient Que City was also built on a third-order spiritual vein, and the entire city was covered by a spirit-gathering array arranged by a skilled formation master, which ensured the richness of the spiritual energy in the city.
Among them, the place with the strongest aura is the City Lord's Mansion.
Previously, the cultivation cave of the Golden Core cultivator of Baiyun Temple was built within the scope of the City Lord's Mansion.
Now that Guque City was captured by the Chu State coalition forces, these caves were allocated to Chu State's Jindan, and Li Changkong got one of them.
Passing the majestic hall and the crowded place, Liu Yu passed by many monks and walked into an empty dead end.
Facing the cold and hard stone wall, he bumped into it without changing his expression.
Unlike what he imagined, there was no bloodshed, just like entering the water from outside the water, without the slightest resistance, he passed through the wall easily.
This area is a forbidden area within the scope of the city lord's mansion, and these are just illusions. With the consent of the owner of the cave mansion, there is no hindrance between entering and leaving.
If there is no consent from the owner of the cave, then the stone wall will really be a stone wall, and it will inevitably lead to bloodshed.
After passing through the formation, Liu Yu was in a trance for a moment, and then he saw the scene inside clearly.
There are patches of blue grass under the feet, and there are lakes, pavilions and towers in the distance, and the dense water vapor permeates the lake.
Several buildings were built on the lake, and a path spread from near to far, spreading from the foot to the building site.
When he looked back, he realized that behind him turned into a stone wall at some point, surrounded by four tall stone walls.
"The way of formation is broad and profound."
Liu Yu felt a little emotional in his heart, and then walked towards the building along the path without hesitation.
In the simple and natural pavilion, there is a middle-aged Taoist sitting cross-legged, with a chessboard in front of him, he is holding the chess pieces indecisively, playing chess with himself.
Beside him, a man and a woman stood with their hands down, respectfully and silently, not daring to disturb the Taoist's interest.
It is the cheap master Li Changkong, the senior sister Li Buyu and the third senior brother Jing Yongqing.
After a while, Liu Yu came to the small pavilion.
Seeing this scene, he didn't bother him, he just bent down and bowed his hands, and then stood aside like the two of them.
He also looked at the chessboard seriously, as if the game on it was very exciting.
But if you look carefully, you will find that Liu Yu's pupils are divergent, and his attention is obviously not on the chessboard.
He has no research on the way of chess, and he is not interested in it. He only knows the most basic rules, and his serious face is just acting on the spot.
It's perfectly normal for high-level monks to put on airs, but it's better for low-level monks to cooperate.
For a moment, Li Changkong played chess with himself as if no one was around, and only the sound of chess pieces falling could be heard in the pavilion.
"Very good, Buyu, Yongqing, Qingyang, the three of you are here."
Half a quarter of an hour later, the winner was determined on the chessboard. Li Changkong raised his head and said slowly, as if he only discovered the three of them at this time.
"Disciple Qingyang, pay respects to Master."
Liu Yu saluted sternly, and said respectfully.
He had already told Shizun about his Dao name. His name was Li Buyu, and Jing Yongqing called him by his name, but he used his Dao name when he called himself.
However, he didn't have any idea. After all, compared to registered disciples, personal disciples are equivalent to real disciples.
"Well, no need to be polite."
"The three of you know why I called you here?"
Li Changkong got up and came to the fence, looking at the beautiful scenery in the lake, he said without turning his head.
Liu Yu shook his head slightly when he heard the words, but did not speak as a disciple.
"Disciple doesn't know."
Jing Yongqing replied fairly.
"The disciple ventured to speculate that it was an attack on the Yan Kingdom, or because of the sect's next strategy."
Li Buyu's cold voice sounded, perhaps because of her blood relationship, she was obviously not as "restrained" as Liu Yu and the other two.
"good."
Li Changkong turned his head and glanced at Li Buyu appreciatively. The outstanding children of this clan have never disappointed anyone.
Afterwards, he pondered for a while, and didn't speak for the first time, as if he was still thinking about something.
"Yan State has eight continents, Qi State is responsible for attacking the four western continents where Yulingzong and Shuiyou Sect are located, and Chu State is responsible for attacking the eastern four continents where Danxia Cave and Baiyun Temple are located."
"As for the monks from other small countries, they will join Chu and Qi as assistance."
"The four eastern continents are Youzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and Yongzhou. After several rounds of discussions, the five sects of the Chu Kingdom have temporarily reached an agreement."
"Piaoxue Pavilion and Qingxu Sect mainly attack Danxia Cave, which is Yangyong Prefecture."
"Our Yuanyang Sect, Wanyue Valley, and Hehuan Sect mainly attack Baiyun Temple, that is, Youzhou and Xuzhou."
Li Changkong spoke extremely fast and uttered a lot of information, then paused for a while to give the three of them a little time to digest.
The three of them had never heard of this news before, and it was obviously top secret news.
"Is this the future strategy of Chu State?"
Hearing such important information suddenly, Liu Yu was shocked.
Then his thoughts turned rapidly, thinking about how to do something that would be in his own best interest and get what he wanted.
But before he was allowed to think for long, Li Changkong spoke again.
"Although under the threat of the righteous and the evil, the five major sects temporarily put aside their prejudices and maintain cooperation, but there will be no shortage of competition."
"For example, the territory of Yan Kingdom in front of me!"
"The five sects will attack the four eastern continents at the same time. Whoever occupies it will own it after the destruction of Yan."
As he spoke, Li Changkong waved his hand and used his magic power to outline the map of the four continents in the east of Yan Kingdom, on which the dots representing resource points lit up.
Then his words sounded again.
"Zongmen, Wanyue Valley, and Hehuanmen attacked Youzhou Xuzhou, and made corresponding arrangements in order to occupy more territory."
"The main energy of the sect will be put on the fairy city of Liangzhou and the gathering place of large-scale cultivators."
"As for the gathering places of small immortal cultivators along the way, as well as small powers and immortal cultivating families, dozens of cultivator teams will be dispatched to deal with them."
"Generally speaking, the monk team consists of ten foundation-building monks and three hundred Qi-refining monks, who are responsible for subduing the cultivating families along the way."
"With the cultivation base of Silence and Yongqing, it is enough to be the leader of a team."
"As for Qingyang, his current cultivation level is still low, and he is still a little short of the fire, so he can join your team of senior brothers and sisters."
This time Li Changkong didn't show off, and directly stated the purpose of summoning the three of them.
"Cultivation Clan", "Cultivator Squad", "Team Leader"
Liu Yu's heart moved when he heard this.
According to what Li Changkong said, this kind of monk team sent by the sect during the war has extraordinary power.
Ten foundation building monks and three hundred Qi refining monks.
If you master such a team of monks, there will undoubtedly be inexplicable benefits for collecting spiritual herbs or searching for resources.
With power and strength, maybe the spirit grass for refining the golden elixir will be available, and perhaps many rare treasures will be ingested.
This trip to the Kingdom of Yan will also become a real "feast".
Thinking of this, Liu Yu's heart became a little hot, but there is still a problem right now.
How to get the title of "Team Leader"?
It was precisely because of the advantages of being a team leader that Li Changkong wanted Li Buyu and Jing Yongqing to be in charge of a monk team respectively.
And judging from the tone of the cheap master, he will definitely not support him.
"This matter still needs a long-term plan, but such a great opportunity must not be easily given up."
"If it doesn't work, go find the Yan family's relationship and see if there is a way."
In a few breaths, Liu Yu's expression was normal, but many thoughts flashed in his mind.
After hearing Li Changkong's words, several people had different reactions.
Li Buyu's eyes fluctuated a little, but he quickly calmed down and returned to a cool look, as if he was not very interested.
This is not surprising, the Li family is vaguely known as the first family of the Yuanyang Sect, and Li Buyu, as a descendant of the Li family, is also very talented, so he easily has a lot of resources.
So she cares most about her own cultivation realm, but she doesn't have a deep understanding of resources and the like, so she is not so enthusiastic.
But Jing Yongqing looked a little excited, obviously moved by the benefits described by Li Changkong, and a little eager to try.
Although he has good qualifications, he does not have a strong family support behind him, and naturally lacks resources, so he is more interested in things that can earn resources.
After hearing about the power of the team leader, associations and the current situation, Jing Yongqing was overwhelmed and excited.
Liu Yu took the look of the two into his eyes, and he had calmed down now, but he still showed excitement on his face.
"The disciple obeys the order and will definitely live up to the expectations of the master!"
The three responded in unison.
Although he didn't really want to take on this task in his heart, since it was arranged by his master, Li Buyu could only obey, not to mention Jing Yongqing.
"Strength is the most important thing in the changing situation, so the candidates for the team leader also give priority to those with strong strength."
"Two days later, the Zongmen will appoint twelve recognized strong men as team leaders from among the Zongmen's disciples here."
"And if the nephews of other foundation-building stages intend to compete, they can initiate a challenge, and the winner will be qualified to lead the team."
Seeing the reaction of the three, Li Changkong stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction, then continued.
After a pause, he continued:
"Shuyu's cultivation level is already close to the peak of foundation establishment. At that time, I can directly nominate as the team leader, as long as I defeat the challenger."
"Yongqing's cultivation has just reached the peak in the mid-stage of foundation establishment, so he can't be nominated directly, he can only be qualified by defeating other nominees, so we have to prepare well for this when we go back."
"However, don't be too persistent. After all, there are many outstanding foundation-building juniors in the sect. Even if you lose, it's just a normal thing. You can still join your senior sister's team then."
"As for Qingyang, if you intend to join the monk team, you can choose to join your senior sister's team."
At this time, Li Changkong had a rare and pleasant expression, and seemed to be very patient for the sake of the three of them.
Although he called three people over today, he actually hoped that Li Buyu would become the team leader. As for the other two, they were just Li Buyu's right and left hands.
Jing Yongqing is also his own direct disciple after all, and he can't be too obvious about his partiality, so there was the scene just now.
"Thank you, Master, for your care, and the disciples are very grateful!"
Liu Yu, Li Buyu and Jing Yongqing replied respectfully.
"Well~ Then you wait and do as I say."
"Qingyang, you can step back first."
Li Changkong sat back at the desk and said to Liu Yu.
Obviously, he still needs to give some advice to the two personal disciples, but Liu Yu, who is a registered disciple, does not have this kind of treatment.
"Yes, Master, Qingyang resigns!"
Hearing this, Liu Yu saluted solemnly, then exited the small pavilion, and left Li Changkong's cave mansion along the path he came from.
Although he verbally agreed to cheapen his master, he didn't have the slightest intention of giving up his position as team leader.
It's just that you can't confront the master of the Jindan stage face to face, right?
In this world, it is impolite for a junior to refute an elder.
And even if you express your thoughts in person, can you really get Li Changkong's approval?
Liu Yu has never had the habit of pinning her hopes on others, and this time is no exception.
Therefore, he intends to superficially agree with the cheap master's arrangement, and suddenly initiates a challenge at the beginning of the team leader's battle, making him have to accept the reality.
In this way, there is no need to directly confront them, and the possibility of cracks in the "teacher-student relationship" is much smaller.
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Liu Yu did not directly return to the temporary foothold.
Instead, he walked towards the cave of a monk from the Yan family, intending to visit and make some preparations for two days later.
Neither Yan Hongyu nor Yan Qun'er came to Yan Country this time, but he has cooperated with the Yan family for a long time, and he has also met several Yan family members who established foundations, and they have been in contact with each other over the years.
The support of every vote is the motivation for the author to update, thank you Changting!
