"Junior Brother Xiao, you've been targeted by Senior Sister Qing Xuan. You have to be careful. Although we're from the same sect, you've just arrived and don't have any foundation in the sect. Moreover, Senior Sister Qing Xuan's faction has a lot of people. If you're not careful, you'll suffer a big loss."
Qing Gong reminded Xiao Lingyu meaningfully as he sipped his tea.
Xiao Lingyu could already guess that Qing Gong was here to win him over. Even if he couldn't win him over, he would probably say something bad about Qing Xuan and Sect Master Qing Pingzi.
Knowing the purpose of Qing Gong's visit, Xiao Lingyu naturally wouldn't speak carelessly and just listened carefully.
"Junior Brother was brought into the sect by Senior Brother Sect Master?" Qing Gong saw that Xiao Lingyu didn't speak, so he changed the topic and asked.
"Yes." Xiao Lingyu nodded in response.
"Since Senior Brother Sect Master ascended to the position of Sect Master, he spent most of his time in seclusion. Right now, he was forced to come out because of the upcoming war between the Immortal World and the Demon World. If Junior Brother thinks that you can sit back and relax because Senior Brother Sect Master brought you into the sect, then you're gravely mistaken."
Sure enough, Qing Gong said something that Xiao Lingyu had already expected him to say.
"Then Senior Brother, tell me, what should I do?" Xiao Lingyu asked with a confused look.
"Junior Brother is now a newcomer of the Nan Hua Immortal Sect. Although you have good skills and have the treatment of an Immortal Emperor, you still lack a foundation. Junior Brother is also a smart person, so you should know how to protect yourself." Qing Gong said vaguely.
"Senior Brother means that Junior Brother should find a foundation for himself as soon as possible?" Xiao Lingyu asked.
"A rootless duckweed can't withstand the wind and rain!"
Qing Gong sighed. Seeing that Xiao Lingyu seemed to be moved, he continued, "Now, the Nan Hua Immortal School is divided into three parts. Senior Brother Sect Master's branch seems to be in control, but in fact, since the last time … they have already consumed too much energy and are unable to control the overall situation. Senior Sister Qing Xuan has also been depressed for many years because of Senior Brother Qing Liu's death. Without Senior Brother Qing Liu's support, her branch isn't very strong. They only control the management of the sect. They only have immortal stones and not many experts."
Xiao Lingyu asked curiously, "What about the other branch?"
When Qing Gong heard Xiao Lingyu's words, his eyes lit up, and he said proudly, "To tell you the truth, I am a member of the other lineage. Now, among the three branches of the Nan Hua Immortal School, our branch is the strongest. Not only is Senior Brother Qing Wei in our branch a late-stage Immortal Emperor, but he also knows the rules of the sect and is supported by many Immortal Emperors. Most of the elite disciples of the sect who are guarding the various cities outside the sect are also our people. "
"So there are so many things involved. It seems that I have to be more careful in the future." Xiao Lingyu nodded, but he didn't express his intention to join any branch.
"Junior Brother Xiao, if you join our branch, you don't have to be so careful and don't have to worry about Senior Sister Qing Xuan finding trouble with you." Qing Gong went straight to the point.
"Junior Brother will seriously consider it." Xiao Lingyu still replied vaguely.
After thinking for a while, Qing Gong felt that Xiao Lingyu didn't really understand the overall situation of the sect, so he wasn't in a hurry. He immediately stood up and said, "Junior Brother, you should walk around more and understand more before you make a decision. I've disturbed you today, I'll take my leave first. "
After sending Qing Gong off, Xiao Lingyu returned to his room, but he didn't really think about those things. Instead, he went to the second floor and meditated in peace.
In the following days, Xiao Lingyu didn't leave his room and stayed in his pavilion. No one came to disturb him.
Previously, when Xiao Lingyu went to the Nan Hua City, he didn't buy all the materials he needed. Therefore, after adjusting and organizing in the Nan Hua Immortal School, he decided to go to the East Royal City to take a look.
Now that he had obtained the Five-colored Origin Flower for reaching the fifth revolution, Xiao Lingyu couldn't wait to gather all the materials.
When he walked less than ten feet out of his pavilion, he passed by a small pond and saw an old man sitting in a pavilion drinking tea. The old man looked over and their eyes met. The old man smiled kindly and Xiao Lingyu naturally nodded in greeting.
"This should be Junior Martial Brother Xiao who just entered the sect, right?" The old man stood up and said with a smile.
Since the old man greeted him, Xiao Lingyu naturally couldn't ignore him. He nodded and said: "Yes, I am."
"Junior Martial Brother Xiao, if you don't mind, you can come and have a drink with me." The old man pointed at the tea on the stone table and said.
"I still have some things to do today, I won't disturb you. Next time, I'll treat you to a drink." Xiao Lingyu said apologetically.
The old man didn't expect Xiao Lingyu to reject him like this, but after being stunned for a moment, he still said: "There are many things going on outside, don't worry too much. It's rare for us to have half a day of leisure. Cultivators like us are busy cultivating every day, we should be free when we're free. Junior Martial Brother Xiao, coincidentally, I have some things to say to you today, I hope you can give me some face. "
Since the old man had already said so much, and Xiao Lingyu really didn't have anything urgent, he could only bite the bullet and enter the pavilion. Then, he sat opposite the old man.
"Since Junior Martial Brother Xiao has something urgent, I won't beat around the bush. I'm the steward of the sect's external affairs hall. Today, I'm looking for Junior Martial Brother Xiao to invite Xiao Lingyu to join our faction. Although Junior Martial Brother has just entered the sect, I'm sure you have some understanding of the sect's current situation. Junior Martial Sister Qing Xuan, who is in charge of our faction, is currently the strongest person in the sect. Even Senior Martial Brother Qing Pingzi is slightly inferior to her. Moreover, our faction controls the entire sect's economic lifeline. More than 70% of the sect's immortal stone income is earned by us. "
The old man looked at Xiao Lingyu's expression as he said this. Seeing that Xiao Lingyu was very calm, he continued: "If Junior Martial Brother Xiao joins us, I don't dare to say anything else, but at least you will never lack immortal stones. Moreover, the sect will also have what an Immortal Emperor cultivator should have."
Compared to Qing Gong, this old man was more direct and straightforward, without so many twists and turns.
However, Xiao Lingyu couldn't help but think of a problem. Even though he had just joined the sect, the three factions of Nan Hua Immortal Sect were already fighting over him. One could imagine how intense the competition in Nan Hua Immortal Sect was now. They must be thinking of fighting for as much as they could. Sect Master Qing Pingzi must have talked to everyone about Xiao Lingyu joining Nan Hua Immortal Sect and also mentioned that Xiao Lingyu was now enjoying the treatment of an Immortal Emperor disciple.
Regardless of Xiao Lingyu's strength, just the treatment of an Immortal Emperor disciple was enough for the three factions to pay attention to him. After all, even Nan Hua Immortal Sect needed many years to have an Immortal Emperor.
"Junior Martial Brother, what do you think?" The old man asked directly.
Perhaps because Qing Xuan was a straightforward person, so were her subordinates and followers. Xiao Lingyu was also a straightforward person, but he still wanted to be tactful about this matter.
"Can you give me some time to think about it?" Xiao Lingyu pondered for a moment and said.
"Of course, I think Junior Martial Brother will make a wise choice."
The old man nodded and said, "Junior Martial Brother, you're busy. Go ahead."
Xiao Lingyu didn't linger for long. After bidding farewell, he left the Nan Hua Immortal School and headed towards the East Royal City.
Not long after Xiao Lingyu said goodbye to the old man, Qing Xuan also came to the pavilion and asked, "How did it go?"
"He seems to be very cautious and in a difficult position." The old man shook his head and said.
"Haha, he was brought in by that old fox Qing Ping, so of course he's on that old fox's side. However, I heard that Qing Gong also talked to him before, and the Qing Guards gathered the most experts and seemed to be the strongest. He's probably a little moved." Qing Xuan said with a smile.
"Junior Martial Sister, did you ask me to come because you know he needs immortal stones?" The old man asked.
"He shouldn't be lacking immortal stones. I asked you to come just to show him the current situation so that he'll be more cautious when making a decision. Everyone invited him to join them, so he has more choices. Naturally, he has more thoughts, "Qing Xuan explained.
"Anyway, I don't think he'll join us, but he'll be conflicted for a while."
The old man nodded, then asked curiously, "Where did that guy come from? What's his strength?"
Qing Xuan shook his head and said, "To be honest, even I can't see through him at all. I think that old fox Qing Ping is the same. However, when I saw him last time, I felt a strange aura from him. I've never felt that aura from any cultivator in the Immortal Realm. Therefore, I have no idea what his background is or what his strength is. I heard that he fought with an Immortal Emperor from the Nan Hua Immortal Sect. Not only did he not do anything, but he also quickly melted a Quasi-God Artifact. Now, we can at least confirm that he has the Divine Fire in his body. To be able to hide the Divine Fire in his body, his body must be very strong. I think that old fox Qing Ping and the Qing Guards have taken a liking to this. "
"If that's the case, we should try to get him." The old man nodded.
Xiao Lingyu didn't think too much about it. His temporary stay in the Nan Hua Immortal Sect was just a temporary measure. He didn't really want to make a name for himself in the Nan Hua Immortal Sect and didn't want to get involved in the conflict between the three factions.
The three factions all had quite a number of Immortal Emperors. Xiao Lingyu couldn't even deal with an Immortal Emperor. Once he got involved in the conflict, he would only be cannon fodder.
After half a year, Xiao Lingyu flew to the East Royal City. He didn't do anything and went straight to the Mercenary Army's branch building.
Only two hundred years had passed and the Mercenary Army's mission hadn't been fully spread out yet. Naturally, they couldn't find Anya. This was within Xiao Lingyu's expectations, so he wasn't too disappointed.
After leaving the Mercenary Army's branch building, Xiao Lingyu started shopping in the material stores in the East Royal City.
He was already very rich, so when purchasing materials, as long as the price was not too outrageous, he would buy them directly.
