"No, it's not appropriate to be our sect leader."
The Third Elder's voice paused for a moment before he looked at Gu Zheng with reverence. "You are inextricably linked to us. You have obtained the inheritance of our founder. You should be the young master of the Heaven Will Faction!"
"Yes, young master!" Yang Zhenling said happily.
"That's right, this identity is more suitable." Gu Zheng nodded and smiled.
Since he had obtained Ancestor Bi Hai's inheritance, he was inextricably linked to the Heaven's Will Sect. Gu Zheng didn't want to be the sect master of the Heaven's Will Sect because the position of sect master didn't match the actual meaning of his existence. After all, he had obtained Ancestor Bi Hai's only inheritance. If he died, although the disciples of the sect wouldn't die instantly, the invisible barrier that disappeared would reappear and there would be no more cultivators in the sect!
As for Yang Zhenling and Third Elder, were they sincere in recognizing him as their young master? Gu Zheng didn't have the slightest doubt. Whether it was for public or private reasons, having a young master like him wasn't a bad thing for Tianxin Sect's development.
"Greetings, young master!"
Seeing Gu Zheng agree, Yang Zhenling and Third Elder saluted Gu Zheng together.
"No need for formalities! As for the matters of the sect, we'll talk about it in detail later. Now it's time to open the chest. "
Gu Zheng smiled. Now that the chest was open, he didn't want anything else to dilute the joy of his harvest.
In fact, when he received Ancestor Bi Hai's legacy, Gu Zheng already knew what was inside the chest. But knowing was one thing, seeing was another. Because of this difference, his joy was magnified.
Apart from the method to maintain the immortal formation, the rest of the things in the chest were a pile of materials and a few immortal weapons. As for the follow-up of the cultivation method, Gu Zheng had already received Ancestor Bi Hai's legacy, so he could tell Yang Zhenling and the others about it.
Among the cultivation materials, there were more than five hundred that could be used to refine elixirs. Among them, there were more than three hundred ingredients that could be used for cooking. The lowest grade of the ingredients was ordinary, and there were more than fifty of medium grade. What made Gu Zheng even happier was that there were as many as four excellent grade ingredients.
In addition to ingredients and herbs, there was a pile of elixirs, a few immortal weapons, and a few other things in the chest.
There were more than three thousand elixirs, but most of them were only used to assist in the cultivation of the Raging Waves Mantra. Gu Zheng would leave them for the disciples of Tianxin Sect. As for the other elixirs suitable for ordinary cultivators, there were only two hundred of them, Gu Zheng decided to keep them.
"Young master, young master, these elixirs, including immortal weapons?"
Yang Zhenling and the Third Elder looked at Gu Zheng's allocation and couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Although Gu Zheng was now the young master of Tianxin Sect, Yang Zhenling and the Third Elder felt that he would definitely leave resources for the sect. However, they didn't expect that Gu Zheng would only take less than a hundred materials. He didn't take any of the extremely valuable elixirs. As for the immortal weapons, he only took one and left the rest to them.
"I have no use for the elixirs. As for the immortal weapons, I have already taken one. The sect needs the rest more than me."
Gu Zheng paused for a moment before continuing, "However, I have to take a look at the resources in the sect and pick out some that are more useful to me."
"Of course. Everything in the sect belongs to young master. Take as much as you need," the Third Elder said with a smile.
After leaving the secret chamber, Gu Zheng went to check the reserves of Tianxin Sect.
Tianxin Sect had a lot of resources, but most of them weren't of high quality. The only thing that made Gu Zheng happy was that there were some inner elixirs of water-type spirit beasts.
After taking away all the inner elixirs of the water-type spirit beasts, Gu Zheng also took a few middle-grade ingredients from the reserves. Subsequently, Gu Zheng told Yang Zhenling and the Third Elder his thoughts.
Firstly, Gu Zheng wouldn't stay on Foggy Wind Island. Secondly, he had to keep the fact that he was the young master of Tianxin Sect a secret for the time being. In addition, Gu Zheng appointed the new head of Tianxin Sect to be Yang Zhenling.
Although Yang Zhenling felt that the appointment of a young master was a little heavy, she ultimately promised Gu Zheng that she would definitely make Tianxin Sect stronger.
Gu Zheng decided to help repair the immortal array. This process would take about five to six days. After the immortal array was repaired, Gu Zheng would leave Foggy Wind Island.
"How did the trip to Foggy Wind Island feel?"
After returning to his residence, the Weapon Spirit's voice rang in Gu Zheng's mind.
"It was completely unexpected. I only wanted to collect some ingredients, but I didn't expect to end up with a sect." Gu Zheng laughed.
"Tianxin Sect has great potential for growth. There are more than 300 disciples in the sect and more than 1,000 islanders. The entire Foggy Wind Island is very big. The harvest in this aspect is no less than the Raging Sea Tide!"
There weren't many things that could make the Weapon Spirit sigh, but Gu Zheng's harvest was one of them.
Gu Zheng's side was very calm, but Tianxin Sect was in an uproar. After all, they could feel their blood boiling! Gu Zheng put the Third Elder and the rest in charge of this matter and temporarily suppressed it. After the Fish Harvest Festival, when all the guests on the island had left, they would inform the disciples of the sect.
The next day, Gu Zheng, the Third Elder and the rest carried out a preliminary repair of the immortal array. On this evening, the three-day Golden Scale Tide retreated as usual.
The next day was the Fish Harvest Festival. This was a very lively festival, but repairing the immortal array was very important. Gu Zheng didn't have the time to join in the fun, so he made full use of the time to repair the immortal array. As for Meow Meow, it had been by Gu Zheng's side for the past two days, contributing to the maintenance of the immortal array.
The Fish Harvest Festival lasted for seven days. The third day was a special day for Gu Zheng. On this day, he made full use of the time to repair the immortal array with the Third Elder and the rest, but left Meow Meow on the island.
Near noon, far away from the noisy village on the island, on the beach below the cliff of Tianxin Sect's back mountain, more than 20 disciples of Tianxin Sect were slaughtering more than 300 pigs, cows, and sheep. Among the twenty over Heaven Will Sect disciples, the leader was Zhang Dongliang, who had brought Yang Zhenling and the rest to Kunlun.
"Hurry up, we must get everything ready before noon."
Zhang Dongliang was rushing the other Tianxin Sect disciples as well. Pots of fresh blood were placed on the table, and the heads of the three animals were placed neatly on the table.
Because it was all cultivators slaughtering the three animals, although the scene was bloody, there were no howls.
"Amitabha!"
A Buddhist chant sounded, and Monk Wuwei floated down from the cliff that was more than 40 meters high.
"What are you doing?" Monk Wuwei asked with a frown.
"Holy Monk Wuwei, why are you here?" Zhang Dongliang hurried forward and asked with a smile.
"This poor monk is asking you, what are you doing?"
Looking at the dead animals, Monk Wuwei was very angry.
"Nothing, just offering a sacrifice." Zhang Dongliang scratched his head.
"Sacrifice? Sacrifice what? I've long felt that there was something wrong with your island. It's a little too enthusiastic! Now you need so many animal sacrifices, and they're life sacrifices! The things you sacrifice should be more evil, right? Tell me, does your Tianxin Sect believe in demons and ghosts? "Monk Wuwei sneered.
Zhang Dongliang furrowed his brows, and the smile on his face quickly disappeared.
"Holy Monk Wuwei! We invited you to the island and provided you with good food and drinks, but you're investigating us? I don't want to talk to you anymore. We still have things to do here, so you can do as you please! "
Zhang Dongliang paused and then said, "Yes, no matter what we sacrifice, it's our private matter! Besides, we're only sacrificing three animals, not human lives. No matter what, you have no right to ask, right? "
Monk Wuwei was really depressed after failing to open the box. After going back, he thought about it and felt that he could try another method. Therefore, he went to find Sect Leader Yang more than once these two days.
But what made Monk Wuwei angry was that Sect Leader Yang was always busy. He felt that Sect Leader Yang didn't want to see him! Just when he was angry, he saw the disciples of Tianxin Sect taking a large number of animals to the back of the mountain. Therefore, he followed them to find out what was going on.
He was already unhappy, but Zhang Dongliang told him to do as he pleased. This reminded him of that night on the beach, Gu Zheng also told him to do as he pleased! Because of this, the displeasure in his heart intensified.
"Everyone in the world cares about the world! If you don't tell me what happened today, you can forget about being a sacrifice! "
Monk Wuwei was so angry that he waved his sleeves and the three animal sacrifices on the table were all swept into the sea by his internal strength.
"You …"
Zhang Dongliang gritted his teeth angrily. "Okay, okay, okay. If you want to know, I'll tell you now. But we're in a hurry. Let them deal with the three animal sacrifices first. I'll tell you what happened. Is that okay?"
"Okay!"
Monk Wuwei was a monk who indulged in wine and meat. He didn't feel sorry for the three animals waiting to be slaughtered. As for what the Tianxin Sect sacrificed, he didn't care as long as it didn't harm others. However, he was in a bad mood. When he was in a bad mood, it was human nature to look for trouble.
The story Zhang Dongliang told Monk Wuwei was actually the same as the story Gu Zheng heard from Laowu when he first came to Foggy Wind Island.
The monster that harmed Foggy Wind Island that year was actually not dead! The Highest Elder of Kunlun Sect had a higher cultivation than the monster. Unfortunately, the monster came from the water and Foggy Wind Island was a small island in the sea. The environment was undoubtedly the monster's home ground.
The Highest Elder of Kunlun Sect fought with the monster in the sea many times. In the end, both sides gave in to each other. Every two years, the monster enjoyed the three animal sacrifices offered by the Tianxin Sect. The monster was not allowed to harm the people on Foggy Wind Island.
At noon this year, it would be the two year period. It was also the day when the demons would enjoy the three sacrificial animals.
"What's the monster's cultivation?"
After hearing Zhang Dongliang's story, Monk Wuwei was very excited.
Zhang Dongliang frowned. "Why do you ask this?"
"Just tell me. Don't talk so much nonsense!"
Monk Wuwei also frowned. Zhang Dongliang, who had been restraining himself, also became gloomy.
"You're not even a cultivator. Don't even think about getting its Inner Elixir! The Highest Elder of Kunlun Sect was a cultivator at the Huashen Realm. He had the same plan as you, but what happened in the end? He called you a Holy Monk. Do you really think of yourself as a Holy Monk? Let me tell you, go to hell. If anything happens to you, the Tianxin Sect will never let you go! "
When he went to Kunlun Mountain, Zhang Dongliang was a very patient person. He even tolerated the Heavenly Spiral Sect. But now it was different. Gu Zheng had become the young master of the Tianxin Sect. Zhang Dongliang was also a core member of the Tianxin Sect. He had heard a little about the real strength of Emei from Gu Zheng! It was also because of this that Zhang Dongliang felt that his daughter-in-law for many years had finally become a mother-in-law. Now, it was time for him to hold his head high! Even if he was annoyed by Monk Wuwei, he still dared to fight back!
Monk Wuwei was stunned by Zhang Dongliang's rude words. He had never expected that Zhang Dongliang would dare to talk to him like this.
"Amitabha, it seems that I'm going to break the precepts!"
Monk Wuwei smiled cruelly. He raised his palm and was about to slap Zhang Dongliang's face.
However, Zhang Dongliang didn't dodge at all. Instead, he raised his head proudly to Monk Wuwei.
"I heard that you're going to break the precepts?"
Meow Meow's voice suddenly sounded. Monk Wuwei was nervous and quickly turned around. He saw Meow Meow standing very close to him! If Meow Meow wanted to sneak attack him, he would have been dead just now.
"Let me guess what precepts you're going to break!"
Meow Meow looked at Monk Wuwei calmly and said coldly, "You've broken the precepts of wine and meat. Are you going to break the precepts of killing?"
"No, there's no such thing. How can I kill?"
Monk Wuwei hurriedly explained. To be honest, he hated Meow Meow, but he was also afraid of Meow Meow! Upon seeing Meow Meow, the corner of his mouth that no longer had any scars twitched in pain.
"Since you don't want to break the precepts of killing, could it be that you want to break the precepts of lust?"
Meow Meow sized up Monk Wuwei and smiled meaningfully.
Monk Wuwei instantly blushed. He wasn't embarrassed, but he was so angry that he almost suffered internal injuries! If someone else said this, he would definitely have attacked. However, the other party was Meow Meow, the Meow Meow that Gu Zheng didn't follow by his side. In Monk Wuwei's opinion, she represented wildness, ferocity, and recklessness. Therefore, Monk Wuwei had no choice but to tolerate her.
"Miss Meow Meow."
Monk Wuwei didn't dare to say a word. Zhang Dongliang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Alright, I said the wrong thing again."
Meow Meow shrugged. Then, she looked at Monk Wuwei and said word by word, "If you know what's good for you, don't cause trouble here. Scram as far as you can. If you stay any longer, I'll send you to accompany the demons in the sea!"
Monk Wuwei gritted his teeth. This time, he didn't even dare to say any harsh words. He walked straight into the distance.
"Alright, you guys can go do what you need to do!"
Seeing Monk Wuwei leave, Meow Meow told Zhang Dongliang and soon disappeared in a blur.
Under the scorching sun, there were several tables by the sea. They were filled with secret sacrificial offerings. The smell of blood was so strong that even the sea breeze couldn't blow it away.
It was already noon. In the sea that originally only had slight waves, a bubble the size of a house floated to the surface. When it burst, it produced a large amount of grayish-white smoke.
In the smoke, a bare-chested man with fiery red hair and a circle of sea snakes around his lower body walked to the shore on the waves. He was holding a long fish bone in his hand.
At this time, there was no one else on the beach except for a large pile of sacrificial offerings and the red-haired man. Zhang Dongliang and others had left more than ten minutes ago.
After the red-haired man came ashore, he sat down on the beach. He seemed to enjoy the friction of the sand. He lay down and rolled a few times, making a sound like a horse snorting.
"Whoosh …"
The sound of inhaling came from the red-haired man's mouth. The blood of the three animals on the table condensed into a stream and flew into his mouth.
After drinking the blood in the basin, the red-haired man waved his hand again. A hairy pig's head flew into his hand. He held the pig's head and began to gnaw. His extremely sharp teeth broke the bones as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.
On a big tree in the distance, Meow Meow lay comfortably among the branches, watching the red-haired man on the beach eat heartily. Today, the task that Gu Zheng asked her to stay here was to take care of the red-haired man so that no accident would happen.
"Damn it."
Meow Meow cursed because she found that the furtive Monk Wuwei was secretly approaching the red-haired man.
Compared to the last time they met, Monk Wuwei was wearing an extra kasaya. This kasaya was obviously a Buddhist item. Perhaps it was because of its existence that the red-haired man did not notice Monk Wuwei's approach.
"Originally, Sir told me to take care of him so that no accident would happen. This accident should be referring to not letting the monster come to the island to harm the islanders. This Monk Wuwei is very annoying and he is not an islander. With his ability, he will definitely die if he faces this monster. In that case, let him die! "
Meow Meow, who had intended to stop him, sneered and lay down again, ready to watch a good show.
Monk Wuwei was less than a hundred meters away from the red-haired man. The red-haired man still only cared about eating and drinking, which made Monk Wuwei very happy.
He secretly took out a string of Buddhist beads from his pocket. With a flash of white light in his hand, the broken string of Buddhist beads quickly flew out.
The silent Buddhist beads didn't fly far. They only spread out in all directions. After flying for about thirty meters, they burrowed into the sand.
After burying the Buddhist beads, Monk Wuwei's back was clearly much straighter. He continued walking forward with a swaggering posture.
Monk Wuwei's slightly ostentatious posture immediately attracted the red-haired man's attention. The red-haired man, who was holding an ox head, turned around and frowned at Monk Wuwei.
"Don't you know that Grandpa doesn't like others to appear when he's eating?" the red-haired man said.
"Amitabha! Monster, you are about to die, yet your mouth is still so filthy. You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth! "
Monk Wuwei had always been the one to address others as Grandpa. Today, a monster actually dared to address him as Grandpa. This instantly infuriated him.
"Baldy, are you saying that you are here to kill me and take my inner core?"
The red-haired man's voice turned cold. His normal-sized mouth instantly grew so big that it could swallow an ox. He threw the unfinished ox head into his mouth like he was eating candy before standing up.
"You actually called Grandpa Zeng a baldy? It seems that I can't just take your inner core today! "
Monk Wuwei's eyes turned cold. He also took out the alms bowl he used to fight Meow Meow.
"Baldy, tell Grandpa, did the people on the island ask you to kill me?"
As he asked, the red-haired man walked towards Monk Wuwei with the fishbone in his hand.
"No."
Monk Wuwei frowned and changed the words he was about to say. "As you expected, it was them who asked me to kill you, man-eating monster!"
Monk Wuwei's resentment towards Gu Zheng and the higher-ups of Tianxin Sect made him lie.
"Humans are indeed untrustworthy!"
The red-haired man roared. He raised the fishbone with both hands and waved it at Monk Wuwei. A crescent-shaped water curtain rapidly flew towards Monk Wuwei.
