Chapter 362: Flowing water does not compete for the first place, what is contended for is eloquence
According to the contents of Feijian's message, Xu Mengyuan learned from it that Song Minghui's current cultivation level has also reached the ninth level of the Qi training stage.
Therefore, in Xu Mengyuan's imagination, Song Minghui must be a contender for this Foundation Building Pill.
As for whether other people are eligible to participate in the election, Xu Mengyuan is not clear.
Since he had been staying in Guangde County for a long time and never left, Xu Mengyuan didn't know clearly about the strength of the disciples within the Qingshan Sect. He didn't even know the specific cultivation levels of the three Lu Yuanshan brothers and sisters, and how many levels of foundation building they had reached.
So this time, he didn't quite understand why Song Minghui didn't need to consider this Foundation Establishment Pill.
"Haha, this little girl Minghui is very considerate of others."
Seeing Xu Mengyuan confused, Lu Yuanshan started to joke.
"Why, Elder Xu, are you still worried that you can't compete with Song Minghui and get the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
"Don't you have confidence in yourself?"
This question really stopped Xu Mengyuan, making him laugh twice bitterly.
"I am over a hundred years old, but my body and bones are not as strong as those of the younger generation from Minghui."
"Besides, this Foundation Building Pill should be used by the younger generations of the sect first. In this way, their future prospects for cultivating immortals will inevitably be further than mine. I have delayed the Foundation Building for several decades.
Time."
"Hey, if it were other monks, at my age, most of them would already be in the crystallization stage."
Speaking of this, Xu Mengyuan shook his head in thought, lamenting that he had wasted decades of good time.
Looking at Lu Yuanshan in front of him, he is forty or fifty years old and has already reached the late stage of foundation building. But he himself is one hundred and twenty years old and is still in the Qi training stage.
Seeing Xu Mengyuan like this, a smile appeared on Lu Yuanshan's face, and he comforted him slightly: "Elder Xu, don't underestimate yourself. This long and rugged road to immortality is not easy. Don't judge your future based on your age."
"The running water does not compete with each other, but the water flows with endless flow."
"We should also cultivate a peaceful and far-reaching spiritual mind and not be disturbed by time."
Hearing Lu Yuanshan's words, Xu Mengyuan fell into a brief silence. He understood the profound meaning of Lu Yuanshan's words, nodded slightly and said: "It's a good saying that there is no competition for the flow of water, but the competition for eloquence."
"The leader is still young, but he sees things more clearly than I do. I'm ashamed."
"Haha, what did Elder Xu say? Now let's discuss this Foundation Establishment Pill."
"Actually, Elder Xu really doesn't need to worry about that little girl Song Minghui anymore."
Lu Yuanshan said with a smile on his face: "To be honest, this Foundation Building Pill was given to you by Song Minghui on his own initiative. She has no intention of building a Foundation in the short term and is currently focusing on studying the art of cultivating weapons."
"oh?"
Xu Mengyuan was a little surprised when he heard this.
It turned out that it was Song Minghui who gave the Foundation Establishment Pill to herself. This was really unexpected, as someone was not tempted by the Foundation Establishment Pill.
However, now that the words had been spoken, Lu Yuanshan had already made it very clear. Xu Mengyuan did not think too much about it, and did not ask more about the reasons. He silently remembered Song Minghui's kindness.
"That's actually the case. Then I really want to accept this foundation-building pill and prepare to go into seclusion to build the foundation in the near future."
Xu Mengyuan was no longer polite. The Foundation Establishment Pill in front of him was really tempting to him.
"You might as well go into seclusion and build your foundation earlier."
Lu Yuanshan handed the Foundation Establishment Pill to Xu Mengyuan and said, "I don't think this Foundation Establishment Pill can be kept for a long time. Why don't you make some preparations in the past few days to prepare for the Foundation Establishment."
"I see that your cultivation has reached the peak of your Qi training period. You don't need to polish your cultivation anymore. You can already build a foundation."
"If I build a foundation in the near future, I am afraid that the affairs in Guangde County will have to be consolidated, and it will be difficult to get rid of it..."
Before Xu Mengyuan finished speaking, Lu Yuanshan smiled faintly.
"It doesn't matter, I have already thought about the affairs in Guangde County."
"I can send the second elder, Lu Zhiwei, to temporarily take over your position as the guardian envoy and help you take charge of Guangde County temporarily. In this way, you can also retreat with peace of mind."
"With us here, you can attack and build the foundation without any worries."
"Okay, Master, if you can arrange this, then I can rest assured and build the foundation."
When the conversation changed, Xu Mengyuan said seriously: "It's just that I don't want to take this foundation-building pill for nothing. If you have any conditions, headmaster, just ask. As long as I can do my best, I will work hard for it."
"Haha, I guessed that you would always ask this. The conditions are actually very simple."
"The condition in exchange for this Foundation Building Pill is that you have to help guard Guangde County for another ten years and continue to serve as the guardian envoy for another ten years."
"Continue to guard Guangde County for ten years from now on?"
Xu Mengyuan did not feel inappropriate about this, but was a little surprised that the conditions were too simple.
At least, according to his own ideas, he will not leave Guangde County in the next ten years, but will stay in Guangde County to continue living and practicing.
For him, Guangde County is already a home.
"Why, Elder Xu thinks ten years is too long?"
Lu Yuanshan asked.
This Foundation Building Pill was obtained from Zhang Nianchuan at the cost of a piece of Heavenly Fire Purple Gold Copper and 10,000 sect contribution points.
As the leader, Lu Yuanshan would naturally not do anything unjust, and he would certainly not be able to give the foundation-building pill to Xu Mengyuan.
Doing this will definitely cause criticism within the sect, and some people will think that Lu Yuanshan is partial to Xu Mengyuan.
Let Xu Mengyuan guard Guangde County for another ten years. This was the exchange. When he came, Lu Yuanshan had already thought about it clearly and asked Lu Ping for his suggestions.
Lu Ping naturally let Lu Yuanshan take care of it and had no objection to this.
"No, no, no, Master, you may have misunderstood. I am willing to serve the sect again and continue to guard Guangde County for ten years."
Xu Mengyuan looked serious.
"Okay, I'm just waiting for your words."
"Elder Xu, that's it. In the next ten years, your salary will not be less than a spiritual stone."
"This Foundation Establishment Pill is yours now."
After reaching an agreement, Xu Mengyuan carefully accepted the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Next, Lu Yuanshan asked Xu Mengyuan about his retreat plan, when he planned to retreat, and the arrangements for related matters after the retreat.
After coming here, Lu Yuanshan wanted to ask these questions personally so that he could make reasonable arrangements.
"Haha, speaking of which, I actually wanted to build a foundation half a year ago, and I was even prepared to risk my life for seclusion. But after careful consideration later, I still felt it was inappropriate, so I didn't continue."
Xu Mengyuan said slowly.
"Now, with the help of my ancestors, I have regained my youthful vitality and have the opportunity to build the foundation. Now the leader has brought the foundation building pill, so I don't want to delay the foundation building issue any longer."
"Why don't I start retreating tomorrow? What do you think, Master?"
