Wang Lu didn't give the other party the time to think and the room for choice.
The Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader was indeed a talent, but in the end, he was nothing more than a rogue cultivator who was not qualified to make him pay three visits to the thatched cottage.
Therefore, the Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader had no choice but to succumb. With his Xudan Stage, he made a Big Heart Demon Oath and henceforth became Wang Lu's lackey.
From then on, the Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader title became history and was replaced by Ye Chuchen, the Deputy Director of the Intelligence Revenue Service.
In addition to the title of Sect Leader, Ye Chuchen looked like a forty or fifty years old ordinary middle-aged man. After being appointed as the Deputy Director of the Wisdom Sect, Ye Chuchen could only wryly smile, knowing that he had no choice.
The first task that Wang Lu assigned to Ye Chuchen was to win over his former subordinates. Ye Chuchen, with a disappointed and disappointed smile, turned around and left. While savoring the Big Heart Demon Oath that firmly imprisoned his Primordial Spirit, he was also thinking about how to open his mouth when he met his old subordinates.
Watching Ye Chuchen fly away, Wang Lu stood in the woods for a while and then sighed. "Pretending to be pretentious is really a physical work."
"Humph, who forced you to pretend?"
Little Ling 'Er's voice just happened to ring behind him without warning.
For cultivators who were accustomed to perceiving the change in spiritual energy with their Primordial Spirit, this girl was always so elusive — it was also because of this that she could easily knock down Ye Chuchen, a dignified Xudan Stage Cultivator.
"Ai, just now I saw your calm face, like a proud dragon pointing at the rivers and mountains, impassioned and impassioned, I'm really not used to it."
Wang Lu said with a smile, "I'm also not used to it. If I continue to talk, I'll get pregnant … But this is the self-cultivation of an actor. If you want to make a character like Ye Chuchen surrender willingly, you have to have some acting skills."
Little Ling 'Er snorted. "Beat him twice and he'll be obedient."
However, the girl obviously didn't take this seriously. After gawking for a while, looking at the smoke rising from the Wang Family Village, she couldn't help but sigh. "This time, you really played a big game. I guess none of the sect's Elders expected that you would complete the experiential learning like this."
Wang Lu sneered. "That's the difference between professional adventurers and mortals. It's rare for you to go down the mountain, but you're wandering around like a headless fly, waiting for the so-called opportunity to fall on your head, and then gaining so-called growth from the repeated shocks and mistakes. Don't you think that it's really stupid? "
Little Ling 'Er turned her head and glanced at Wang Lu. On the young man's face hung a trace of a cynical smile, but it wasn't hateful.
From the first time they met, Wang Lu was a person who was always bursting with confidence. Some people felt that this person was unbearably arrogant, but little Ling 'Er felt that it was very interesting.
As long as he was by Wang Lu's side, there would always be all kinds of unexpected and fun things. For example, the crazy ten million taels of silver in Spirit Creek Town, and the unexpected performances at the Immortal Ascension Assembly. This experiential learning down the mountain was the same. While most of the disciples of Spirit Sword Sect were still looking for opportunities according to the map provided by their Master, Wang Lu had already begun to strive for the world's sublimation … This was simply nonsense!
Thinking to this, little Ling 'Er couldn't help but ask the question that had been buried in her heart for a long time.
"Hey, Wang Lu, I want to ask you a question."
"Sister Ling, please go ahead."
"This Wisdom Sect, do you want to play for real?"
Wang Lu curled his lips. "I've already spent hundreds and thousands of spirit stones, do you think I'm not playing for real?"
"... Then you have to think clearly. This is not a game that you can be addicted to. The experiential learning time is only one year, you can't be the Wisdom Sect's Sect Leader forever, unless you …"
Wang Lu said, "One of the basic qualities of a professional adventurer is that there's no need for an electric shock to prevent addiction. My experiential learning down the mountain is just for the experiential learning, so that I won't abandon my main business. In the end, my interest is still Immortal Cultivation, not the IQ tax of ignorant people. "
"Really?" Little Ling 'Er was skeptical. Although Wang Lu's words were beautiful, during this period of time, he was deeply invested in the Wisdom Sect, so it didn't seem like he was just playing around. However, since he said so...
"Speaking of which, recently my Non-Phase Heart Sutra showed signs of a breakthrough. I'm afraid within two months, I will advance to the middle-level Qi Cultivating Stage. Did I tell you about this?"
"Damn, you want to advance to the middle-level Qi Cultivating Stage so quickly?" Little Ling 'Er looked at Wang Lu in surprise. "It's quite inconsistent with your Immortal Cultivation waste status."
"Please don't look down on my Void Spirit Root … Compared to Great Ancestor Desheng who also has the Void Spirit Root, my progress is so slow that it makes people cry. Great Ancestor Desheng used twenty years to go from a mortal to a True Immortal, and the entire Qi Cultivating Stage took less than a year. I, on the other hand, cultivated for three years to reach the middle-level Qi Cultivating Stage, which is simply like a tortoise crawling. Moreover, this is the result of the recent stimulation — first, I used my body to establish the spiritual energy tide, then I used my Qi Cultivating Stage to fight the Xudan Stage, so breaking through is a matter of course. However, now that I have some achievements, when I return to the mountain, I can explain it. "
Little Ling 'Er rolled her eyes and keenly caught the main point of Wang Lu's words. "You're not going to say anything about the Wisdom Sect?"
"Nonsense, what should I say? If Old Man Fang knew about it, he would definitely destroy the world with lightning, okay … Em, but Sister Ling, you're here, so I don't need to worry too much. "
"Damn, don't expect me to be your meat shield. My relationship with Old Man Fang has always been good. If he really comes, the first thing I'll do is to sell you out! Alas, actually, it's better if you don't say it. If this matter were to be spread out, the entire sect would be implicated by you. Although your theory is very good at fooling people, based on the Heaven Burning Blood Technique alone, the Wanxian League would never recognize you. "
Regarding this, Wang Lu just smiled but didn't say anything.
That's right, the Heaven Burning Blood Technique was the Wisdom Sect's Achilles' heel. Although just now, when he fooled Ye Chuchen, it was beautifully said that it was hot-blooded and persistent, after all, it was not an upright cultivation method. Even if there was more enthusiasm to burn, a mere Six Harmonies Spirit Root couldn't possibly cultivate it. In the final analysis, the Wisdom Sect was still in the primitive accumulation stage. There might be miracles on the Immortal Path, but they didn't belong to mortals.
However, so what? Even the always free and easy Little Ling 'Er actually didn't realize the essential nature of the Wanxian League, this colossus.
Thinking to this, Wang Lu shook his head. His train of thought had run a bit too far. In any case, the current Wisdom Sect simply couldn't enter the eyes of the Wanxian League. In the future, when the scale was big enough, then he would solve the Wanxian League's problem.
—
Ye Chuchen's defection made the Seven Stars Sect's surviving members no longer have the will to resist, and thus, they were completely annihilated. The more than ten Elders who came with him to fight against the Wisdom Sect were all recruited by Wang Lu; they abandoned the dark for the light and became the Wisdom Sect's disciples.
For the Wisdom Sect, which had just started, this was a huge and excessive talent resource. However, with the Sect Leader, Wang Lu, there was no need to worry about any trouble. After these Seven Stars Sect's cultivators joined, they weren't scattered. Instead, they formed a department called the Seven Stars Agency, which was managed by Ye Chuchen.
As for their job, it was neither to rob nor to extort, but to digest the Seven Stars Sect's inheritance as fast as possible.
Before the former Sect Leader, Ye Chuchen, defected, the Seven Stars Sect could be considered as a cult organization in the Great Ming Country. Its power could be considered as quite large. In addition to their main base in the Eastern Host Prefecture, they had their own territory in the five major prefectures of the Great Ming Country.
A month later, more than half of these territories were taken by the Wisdom Sect. Using these territories as a stronghold, they continued to radiate the Wisdom Sect's influence to the surrounding areas. After another month, the number of Wisdom Sect's believers has exceeded one hundred thousand. At the same time, in the Eastern Host Prefecture's Seven Stars Sect's former headquarters, Wang Lu personally built a new altar using Ye Chuchen's broken ship as the foundation — the mobile Gale Altar. Although it was only an eighth rank altar, it was worthy of its name. Among the eighth rank altars, it was a hundred percent the best model. When the altar was built, many of the Seven Stars Sect's people burst into tears — not long ago, having such an altar was an extravagant dream of the Seven Stars Sect's people.
Because of this, the biggest unstable factor in the Wisdom Sect was gradually eliminated. Although people still had some nostalgia for the original Seven Stars Sect, in the past few months, the Wisdom Sect didn't oppress or exploit them, nor did they throw them into the cold palace. On the contrary, the Wisdom Sect boldly gave them a lot of key work to do. This kind of attitude really made people speechless.
At the same time, along with the establishment of the mobile Gale Altar, the Wisdom Sect's development speed further accelerated. In Wang Lu's words, the Wisdom Sect had since entered the double mining era. The two altars continued to provide resources. In particular, under Wang Lu's operation, a certain Primal Chaos Altar would often shake eleven times in a row, which would burst out the best quality spiritual objects. In terms of wealth, the Wisdom Sect was even comparable to some of the ninth rank sects in the Wanxian League, which could be described as a vast land with abundant resources. Of course, considering that the Wisdom Sect had one hundred thousand followers, once per capita, it was still not enough. In Wang Lu's words, this was the initial stage of the world's sublimation.
In this way, after another month, the Wisdom Sect had been established for half a year. Within the Great Ming Country's territory, more than half of the Wisdom Sect's territory had been printed with the traces of the Wisdom Sect, and the number of followers was close to one million. As for those who were attracted by the Wisdom Sect, but had yet to enter the sect, they were innumerable. However, such a rapid expansion didn't drag down the Wisdom Sect. Instead, because of the increase in followers, the Wisdom Sect's resource accumulation speed became faster and faster.
In the past, when the Seven Stars Sect occupied the prefectural city, they became rich overnight. However, the accumulated wealth in that city was just the result of the common people's daily collection. Once millions of people were mobilized in an orderly manner, the accumulation speed of spirit stones would be jaw-dropping.
No wonder the ancestor mentioned in the "Nine Regions Geographical Record" that the Nine Regions' spirit stone resources were only one third of the total, while the rest were scattered all over the Nine Regions. It was just that, it was difficult to gather, and the mining cost was too high, so it was often ignored. However, now it seemed like that geographer had underestimated the Nine Regions' spirit stone reserves. In the Wisdom Sect's six months of establishment, the Sect Leader, Wang Lu, received the latest statistical report, which stated that the sect's daily collection of spirit stones was more than five thousand...
Although he knew that this crazy speed was based on the unsustainable mining, which was basically impossible to sustain, when he received the report, Wang Lu still sighed. Right now, the Wisdom Sect's sphere of influence was only in the Great Ming Country, but it already had such wealth and production capacity, which was not inferior to his initial optimistic expectation. If this continued, it wouldn't take too long for them to pass the primitive accumulation stage. Then, as long as this amazing wealth was properly used, the Wisdom Sect would have a qualitative leap.
Of course, during this period of leap, disputes with other sects were inevitable. However, Wang Lu very cautiously avoided all the sects in the Wanxian League, and at the same time, Ye Chuchen, Xie Chi, and other Elders constantly came forward to do public relations, thus, he didn't receive too much pressure from the upper echelons. As for those sects that didn't belong to the lower echelons, if he could rope them in, if he couldn't, he would just destroy them. With a Xudan Stage fighter like Ye Chuchen, as well as a Xudan Stage Holy Maiden who could instantly kill a Xudan Stage Holy Maiden, the Wisdom Sect had never been afraid of anyone in terms of force.
However, the rapid development momentum of the Wisdom Sect had finally encountered a bottleneck in the eighth month since its establishment.
The Great Ming Country's imperial court had already noticed the existence of the Wisdom Sect.
In fact, in the view of the Wisdom Sect, the reaction of the Great Ming Country was a bit slow. Although in these eight months, the Wisdom Sect had always restrained its development direction, neither challenging the authority of the government nor causing a large-scale mass incident — in fact, because of the existence of the Wisdom Sect, the public security of the Great Ming Country had greatly improved.
However, in any case, when a sect could already affect the lives of tens of millions of people in the country, the imperial court finally realized its existence. This reaction was extremely rigid and slow.
However, since the other party had already noticed him, he couldn't just not do anything. Wang Lu quickly sent out a diplomatic envoy to the capital of the Great Ming Country to make contact with the country's ruler.
"Then, the important diplomatic task between our Intelligence Revenue Service and the Great Ming Country will be handed over to you."
"Wang … Oh, no, Director, this task is really difficult for me." The temporary diplomatic envoy desperately complained.
"Mm, appointing you, the head of the infrastructure department, as the diplomatic envoy is indeed a bit difficult, but I believe you will be able to overcome it. Alright, enough with the idle talk. Brave youth, hurry up and create a miracle. "
Then, the Director kicked the new diplomatic envoy away, letting him embark on his long journey.
Wen Bao, who embarked on his long journey, felt that he had been cheated again.
