What was going on? Everyone was speechless.
"Sha Rulai?" Gong Lince seemed suspicious. "You gave the secret recipe to Sha Rulai?"
Niu Youdao looked serious. "Yes!"
Gong Lince's facial expression was interesting. The Elders looked at each other speechlessly. They didn't expect this to happen.
They were sure that Niu Youdao couldn't refuse because of the sect rules. No one was stupid. Who didn't know that Niu Youdao joined Purple Golden Cave to seek protection? They were sure that Niu Youdao wouldn't turn against them easily. Even if he was unwilling, he had to hand over the recipe. They couldn't think of any reason for Niu Youdao to refuse. However, the sudden appearance of 'Sha Rulai' really caught them off guard.
With this strike, the porcelain vases that had been placed in everyone's hearts shattered into pieces.
In fact, before Niu Youdao joined Purple Golden Cave, a group of Elders wanted Niu Youdao to hand over the recipe. Niu Youdao held the source of wealth in one hand and the secular power that could affect the Yan Sect's overall situation in the other. It could be said that they were uneasy or jealous. In short, they didn't feel comfortable.
The reason they wanted Niu Youdao to hand over the recipe was to prove whether Niu Youdao was sincere about joining Purple Golden Cave.
They gave Niu Youdao an identity and status, but didn't give Niu Youdao the right to participate in decision-making. They also didn't give Niu Youdao the right to access the secrets of Purple Golden Cave. It was also the intention of a group of people. A newcomer wanted to be on equal footing with a group of elders and had more power than them. No one would feel comfortable.
The secret recipe was delayed until now because Gong Lince felt it was too unsightly. It was Gong Lince who pressured Niu Youdao to mention it after he joined Purple Golden Cave.
Gong Lince could only delay it until now because everyone's reasons were reasonable. Otherwise, Niu Youdao would have a way out. He could advance and retreat whenever he wanted. How could that be? He had to be careful.
Yan Li looked at Niu Youdao, who was facing the crowd with his sword. He had an illusion that this fellow was facing a group of people by himself.
Looking back at the crowd's reaction, he smiled bitterly to himself.
In the beginning, he was against this. He felt that it was a bit too much for everyone to be so aggressive the moment they entered the door.
What he meant was to delay it for a while longer. This matter wasn't urgent. After a while, when both sides knew each other's ins and outs, they would find a suitable opportunity to bring it up. That way, it would be easier for both sides to step down and avoid embarrassing each other.
It was not that he had to stand on Niu Youdao's side, but because he had interacted with Niu Youdao for so long in Tian Du's Mystery Land, he knew that Niu Youdao was not someone to be trifled with. That guy looked young, but he was actually very shrewd and ruthless. Ordinary people could not compare to him. How many people had died in Tian Du's Mystery Land?
He was very clear about how the first place in Tian Du's Mystery Land was obtained this time. How many people, big or small, screamed and lost their lives because of it?
That was why he was worried that everyone would do this. He was worried that Niu Youdao would stir up trouble inside Zijin Cave. If he really caused chaos inside Zijin Cave, then it would be very funny.
But his opinion alone was really difficult to sway the opinions of the crowd.
Now, he directly threw out a 'Sha Rulai' to intimidate them. If they continued to force him, they would not be able to force him anymore, right? Would more people be useful? Would the rules of the sect be useful? With just one sentence, he made everyone's previous words become nonsense. Now you know how powerful he is, right?
Niu Youdao held his sword with both hands, indifferently paying attention to the crowd's reaction.
He did not want to do this. In the beginning, he was prepared to hand over the secret recipe because he knew that it was not appropriate for a newcomer to master too many things. When faced with some things, he had to give up. But this group of bastards was a bit too much. What did they mean? Did they think he was easy to bully, or did they want to rob him?
Since they were bullying him with a crushing attitude, he had to be tough. Otherwise, he would be crushed into pieces the moment they met. In the future, it would be hard to guarantee that this group of people would not take advantage of him.
So sorry, he did not want to hand over the secret recipe, at least not for the time being.
Female Elder Mo Lingxue said, "What status does Sha Rulai have? What does he not have? How could he be interested in your secret recipe?"
Niu Youdao did not know anything. "I'm not too sure about this. The one who passed the message was Yu Cang. I think Yu Cang would not use Sha Rulai to spout nonsense. Why, does Senior Sister Mo think I'm lying? Anyway, Sect Leader often goes to Misty Pavilion. Let Sect Leader ask Sha Rulai and we will know the truth. "
Gong Lince's mouth twitched. Ask Sha Rulai? How? Ask Sha Rulai if he accepted your gift? Even if he did, what's the point of me asking him about it? Am I looking for trouble?
Mo Lingxue said, "Junior Brother, you've misunderstood. That's not what I meant. But then again, even if you gave him the secret recipe, did he restrict you from brewing and selling it? "
Niu Youdao understood what she meant. After going around in circles, he still wanted to hold onto this source of income. He shook his head and said, "Not really. But ever since I gave him the secret recipe, Thatched Cottage Villa stopped brewing. Now that he wants the secret recipe, I don't know if it's appropriate for me to brew and sell it wantonly. Why don't Sect Leader probe him? "
He was not spouting nonsense. After coming out of Heaven Capital Mystery Realm, the people of Thatched Cottage Villa immediately went into hiding. It was inconvenient for them to brew and sell it, so they indeed stopped brewing.
As for when they would brew it later, it was not important. Yu Cang would probably start brewing after the situation on his side stabilized. That was a matter for the future. Now, he could not be forced to give in so easily.
What the hell was he trying to find out? Gong Lince criticized in his heart, but on the surface, he was expressionless.
Everyone could tell that Niu Youdao was clearly using Rulai Sha as a shield. Coincidentally, the effect of this shield was not bad. No one dared to say anything that contradicted him. Since Niu Youdao had put his words on the table, who would dare to say that they could ignore Rulai Sha?
They were not three-year-olds, nor were they ordinary people. They could eat whatever they wanted, but they could not say whatever they wanted. If they said it, they would have to bear the consequences.
The group of people felt like they had swallowed a fly.
In the end, the matter was left unsettled. Gong Lince instructed Niu Youdao that he was new and should familiarize himself with the rules of the sect and so on.
Afterwards, the group of people dispersed. They weren't ready, and Niu Youdao had already become an elder of the Purple Golden Cave. They had to find a reason to cause trouble for him, and they couldn't act recklessly for no reason.
Gong Lince asked Yan Li to stay for a while. After everyone left, he asked, "Do you think that Niu Youdao really gave the secret recipe to Rulai Sha?"
Yan Li said in a low voice, "He directly pointed out his name. There was no ambiguity at all. He directly pointed at Rulai Sha! No matter how much nonsense he spouted, he wouldn't go so far as to say such a thing, right? "
Gong Lince was silent for a while. He frowned and said, "This fellow is not willing to give in easily. Looks like we need to balance things out. Otherwise, both sides will definitely fight!"
Yan Li understood what he meant. He was referring to Niu Youdao and the other group of elders. Today, the group of elders had nothing to say because of the name 'Rulai Sha'. However, they would definitely not be able to take it lying down. They would definitely look for trouble later on. Since Niu Youdao was not willing to give in, it would be strange if they did not create some trouble.
He immediately nodded and said, "Niu Youdao is not a good person. Moreover, he holds great power in the secular world. If both sides were to fight, who knows how much trouble it would cause."
Gong Lince said, "Go back and keep an eye on him."
"Yes!" Yan Li cupped his hands and left.
However, just as he reached the entrance of the main hall, a disciple flashed and landed outside the door. He quickly entered and said, "Sect Master, Niu Youdao went to the back mountain in a huff."
Yan Li, who was about to step out of the main hall, was stunned. He turned around when he heard the voice.
Gong Lince frowned, "Huff? Why did he go to the back mountain? "
The disciple said, "He went to look for Grandmaster Zhong. The disciple guarding the mountain stopped him and did not let him disturb him. He said he was wronged and wanted to complain to his master. He insisted that the disciple guarding the mountain report. Now that he has entered the 'Sleeping Turtle Pavilion', the disciple guarding the mountain rushed over to report. "
The 'Sleeping Turtle Pavilion' was where Zhong Guzi went into seclusion.
"Nonsense. How can Elder Zhong be disturbed when he is preserving his vitality and prolonging his life!" Gong Lince was furious. He said to Yan Li, who was walking back with a stunned expression, "Complain? Complain about what? He obviously went to complain! It's just a small matter, yet he did not hesitate to disturb his master's preserving vitality and prolonging his life! The matter is already over, why is he acting like a rogue? "As he said this, he walked out.
Yan Li hurriedly followed. His mouth was split open, unable to close his teeth. He did not know whether to laugh or cry.
He knew that Niu Youdao was not someone to be trifled with. In the end, he guessed it correctly. They had just given him a little bit of strength, and that guy immediately turned around and fought with them. He immediately wanted to return the favor, without even waiting for the night to pass …
Guan Fangyi paced back and forth at the entrance of the Sleeping Turtle Pavilion. When Niu Youdao came out of the main hall, he rushed over with an indignant expression. She asked what happened, and Niu Youdao said he was complaining.
Complaining? What was he complaining about? She did not have the time to ask clearly. In any case, Niu Youdao ran over and made a ruckus before going in. She was not qualified to go over, so she could only wait outside.
After a while, she saw Gong Lince and the other higher-ups of the Purple Golden Cave flying over. Their faces were ugly. She did not know what had happened …
The Sleeping Turtle Pavilion was empty. Zhong Guzi was sitting cross-legged on a praying mat.
Niu Youdao was kneeling in front of him, telling what had happened.
A thin and plain man walked in quickly. After glancing at Niu Youdao, he knelt beside Zhong Guzi and interrupted Niu Youdao's story, "Grandmaster, the Sect Leader and the others are here. They want to see Grandmaster."
The man's name was Ju An, and he was the disciple of Zhong Guzi's disciple.
In the early years, there was a battle that caused the decline of Zhong Guzi's lineage. Only a few of his disciples stayed by his side to guard the door.
Zhong Guzi said, "Let them wait."
"Yes!" Ju An stood up and left.
Niu Youdao continued to talk.
After he finished, Zhong Guzi said, "Letting go is also a kind of blessing! It seems that you did not listen to my words. You have become an elder of the Purple Golden Cave. From now on, you will not have to worry about food and clothing, and you will not lack cultivation resources. Isn't it good to let go? "
Niu Youdao said, "What Master said is reasonable. I really want to let go, but will they let me let go? Disciple is already in the whirlpool, I don't have the qualification to let go, and the Purple Golden Cave will not let disciple let go. "
Zhong Guzi said, "Before you became my disciple, the Sect Leader found me and gave me all the information about you. Among them, there is the matter of Spirit Sword Mountain wanting to marry a female disciple to you, but you refused."
Niu Youdao said, "Xiaoyao Palace and Purple Golden Cave also used the same method to find disciple. Does Master think disciple should agree?"
Zhong Guzi slowly closed his eyes. "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. My lifespan has come to an end. If I tightly guard my True Yuan, I can still live for another five years. If you keep tormenting me like this, I'm afraid I can't even survive for three years. I won't be able to protect you for long. "With that, he reached out for the bell on the ground and shook it.
