This was not because Yang Chen was deliberately trying to scare Elder Li, but because Yang Chen remembered that in his previous life, before Yang Chen ascended, the core higher-ups of the Mysterious Heaven Sect had already changed. Although Hall Master Zhu of the medicinal hall was not the sect master, among the core higher-ups, except for Sect Master Li who had ascended from the mortal world, the others were all people who had nothing to do with the core higher-ups of the mortal world.
In this kind of Sect inheritance in the Three Realms, there was generally an unspoken rule that those who became sect masters in the mortal world would definitely inherit the position of sect master in the Spiritual Realm.
To expand this unspoken rule, the core higher-ups of the Sect in the mortal world basically ascended to the Spiritual Realm and Immortal Realm, and they would also become higher-ups of the Sect. However, this inheritance between the higher-ups needed to last for a period of time, at least until the higher-ups of the Sect who had just ascended had reached a certain level of cultivation and experience before they could take charge of the Sect.
According to this unspoken rule, Sect Master Li and the others in the mortal world would have no problem becoming the core higher-ups of the Mysterious Heaven Sect. In fact, this was how things developed in his previous life, and Sect Master Li still became the sect master of the Spiritual Realm.
However, the strange thing was that in his previous life, the other core higher-ups of the Taitianmen in the mortal world did not all inherit the positions of the higher-ups of the Sect. As the memories in Yang Chen's mind went through bit by bit, it seemed that those people had all met with accidents.
At the beginning of the Demonic Calamity in the Spiritual Realm, three of them died. They all happened to be in the trial grounds at that time, and they were the first to bear the brunt of the outbreak of the monster tide. The remaining few also met with accidents later on, and only Sect Master Li persisted to the end.
When Sect Master Li became the sect master, Hall Master Zhu was already the Grand Elder, but it seemed that he was one of the few big shots in the Mysterious Heaven Sect that even Sect Master Li had to respect him.
Combined with this life, it seemed that Hall Master Zhu's influence in the Mysterious Heaven Sect continued after the Demonic Calamity in the Spiritual Realm until Yang Chen ascended. Even after Yang Chen ascended, Hall Master Zhu still guarded the Mysterious Heaven Sect as the Grand Elder. He worked hard and made great contributions!
What kind of person was Elder Li? Anyone who could become a core elder in the Mysterious Heaven Sect was not simple. However, after hearing Yang Chen's words, he immediately thought of more things.
This Hall Master Zhu seemed to really have a good idea. It seemed to be an open and aboveboard plot, which was to research an extraordinary pill that could greatly enhance the strength of the upper echelons. Of course, at the same time, all those who had taken the medicine were one step closer to transcending their tribulations and ascending.
There was no way to reprimand him at all. What was the ultimate goal of every cultivator? Wasn't it to improve their own cultivation? With such a pill that only belonged to the Mysterious Heaven Sect, every disciple would only feel grateful after taking it. Why would they doubt or resent it?
In other aspects, Hallmaster Zhu's performance had always been conforming to the rules, and there was nothing outstanding about him. Even if Elder Li wanted to grab hold of a weakness, he would not be able to. Could it be that Elder Li could use the fact that Elder Li wanted to concoct a brand new pill to deal with Hallmaster Zhu?
However, what Yang Chen said was very reasonable. At the very least, Elder Li already had a lot of doubts in his heart. Elder Li had already spread the news that he wanted to research this pill hundreds of years ago, and he had put in a lot of effort for hundreds of years. He was able to keep his composure, so he must be a difficult opponent to deal with.
When the time came, the pill refined by Elder Li would have excellent effects on the disciples, and he would give it to the upper echelons to use. Not only would he owe them a big favor, but he would also be able to indirectly achieve his goal. Elder Li was indeed a good schemer, a good method to silently achieve his goal. He was definitely an expert in this aspect.
The key was that Elder Li would not fight for the position of Sect Master immediately. He would send away the other upper echelons one by one while he became the most senior and had the highest status. Even if he wasn't the Sect Master, his words would be similar to the Sect Master's. This was clearly him indirectly controlling the Mysterious Heaven Sect.
Facing such an opponent, Elder Li suddenly felt like a mouse trying to pull a turtle, but he didn't know where to start. If he directly told Sect Master Wang and the others, they probably wouldn't believe him at all. Instead, they would wonder why he was thinking this way.
This kind of troublesome opponent, it seemed like only Elder Li, who had the same thoughts, would be able to understand the other party's intentions. Other people would not have such a dark mentality.
Yang Chen looked at Elder Li, who seemed to be at his wit's end, and couldn't help but ask, "Ancestor, does this Hall Master Zhu know about this disciple's identity?"
"He doesn't know." This time, Elder Li's answer was very certain. "The Sect Master said that your identity is top secret. If you know, then keep it to yourself. If you don't know, then don't ever know. Although he is the new core, no one will break the taboo and tell him about your identity. "
At first, Yang Chen was a bit worried. If this Hall Master Zhu was really from the Zhao family and knew his identity, it would not be easy for him to fan the flames between the Mysterious Heaven Sect and the Zhao family. Now that Elder Li said this, Yang Chen felt a lot more at ease.
As long as the other party didn't know his identity, it was possible to force out the other party's true intentions. Since he could make the Demonic Calamity start ahead of time, it was obvious that he had already broken the Zhao family's arrangements. As such, Hall Master Zhu's wishful thinking might not work.
After hundreds of years of research, he still hadn't succeeded. As far as Yang Chen knew, the unique medicinal pill of the Profound Heaven Sect, called the Seven Ingenious Barrier Breaking Pill, should have been studied by Hall Master Zhu for more than a thousand years. Now he simply could not come up with a perfect medicinal pill.
Since this was the case, as long as he found a way to make Hall Master Zhu start ahead of time, Yang Chen might be able to easily achieve his goal without Elder Li risking being criticized.
"Since this is the case, this disciple has an idea." After Yang Chen pondered for a while, he suddenly thought of something. He slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "Ancestor, can you help me look at it?"
In front of Elder Li, Yang Chen had to pay attention to the way he spoke. At the very least, he had to make Elder Li feel that this was his idea and not his own. This was very important.
"What idea?" Elder Li's eyes lit up. It seemed that he had made the right decision to discuss this matter with his grand-disciple, Yang Chen. Not only had Yang Chen reminded him of his oversight, but he had also found a way to make a breakthrough. He had to have this grand-disciple.
"Right now, this pill has not been thoroughly studied, but there must be a preliminary sample." Yang Chen looked at Elder Li's reaction while adjusting his words. "If we can force Hall Master Zhu's arrangements ahead of time, then Hall Master Zhu might have to take a risk with this imperfect pill."
