In the Liuyundian Hall of Suoyan Peak, in the hall where all the foundation-building stewards are usually gathered to discuss matters, a red-faced old man put down the jade slip in his hand and said the above words without thinking.
At this moment, there were more than ten stewards summoned in the meeting hall, which was far more than the number of people usually attending meetings. Not long ago, Wei Yiming, the head of Luoyun Sect, also announced Zhang Leiyue's retirement in public.
News about Xianyou.
Regarding this news, most of the stewards present had learned about it from other channels beforehand, and they did not show much surprise. Only a small number of people were quite surprised and shocked by this news.
To increase your magic power or to save your life in times of danger, you cannot avoid fighting for power in your career and you need to rely on it to provide powerful magic weapons for offense or defense. Therefore, a qualified weapon refiner must be a good friend. Not to mention Zhang Leiyue himself.
He is not a mean and unfeeling person. He has dealt with these middle-level foundation-building monks in Luoyun Sect more or less, so he can't help but feel a bit sad about his sudden departure.
It's just that the main thoughts of everyone present are not on this. Because with Zhang Leiyue's retirement, the position of the master of Tiangong Hall is inevitably vacant.
Whether in the world of mortals or cultivators, there is always a struggle for power and profit. Although not just anyone can take this position, the oil and water in it is far richer than other management positions.
Originally, according to normal sect rules, the former steward was qualified to recommend a suitable candidate when he resigned, followed by candidates recommended by others or self-recommended, and the candidates would take over. Usually, the candidates recommended by the former steward were not selected.
There will be too much controversy.
But this time, it was obviously not going well. Because Zhang Leiyue did not recommend a successor. On the contrary, he hoped that Tiangong Hall could add a deputy hall master, and Sun Huolai would take the position.
It’s just a requirement to be unexpected. If the recommended person really has outstanding talent, there is no room for consideration. But in fact, although Zhang Leiyue recommended Sun Huo as the deputy hall master, he did not give any relevant information.
Reason. From the jade slip that was circulated to all the stewards present, the records about Sun Huo were unremarkable. However, the record of being expelled from the sect had been replaced by the record of being executed outside to open up a spiritual land.
Task.
There are many people in Luoyun Sect, and it can be said that any one of them has the same resume as Sun Huo. Therefore, Zhang Leiyue recommended such a person to be the deputy hall master. There is no doubt that most people cannot agree with and are convinced. Except for
Except for a few impatient people who expressed their objections on the spot, others expressed their opinions in silence.
Faced with such a situation, Wei Yiming himself had already expected it. However, due to the requirements of the sect rules, he still had to bite the bullet and act according to the rules, asking everyone who came to discuss the matter to express their opinions.
After a period of silence, a white-faced old man asked very carefully: "I was specially recommended. I would like to ask, okay?"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone present and cast questioning glances at Wei Yiming. After all, if there is a definite answer to this question, then this guy is not completely without merit.
"I did some research on the question raised by Manager Ma before calling everyone together. The result is," Wei Yiming looked around calmly and said calmly. "But, according to the foreign affairs disciples of Tiangong Hall,
Feedback, has been with you every day. In addition,."
Hearing this, many people felt quite disappointed once again. In their view, Sun Huo could be said to be just a very speculative person. He did not know what method he used to win Zhang Leiyue's favor and trust, and also benefited himself.
I got such an unrealistic opportunity. Although there is some cleverness, it is not enough to hold the position of deputy palace master.
What everyone didn't expect was that Wei Yiming's next words surprised them secretly.
"This magical weapon is different from ordinary magical weapons in the past, but a blood spiritual weapon. According to the information left by Master Zhang, the blood spiritual weapon is a refined product between a monk's magical weapon and a magic weapon.
It can be said that it is a magic weapon that already has some of the characteristics of a magic weapon. It was on this basis that the ancient weapon refiners gradually and deeply studied, and then they came up with the current magic weapon refining method. According to the classics and legends of the weapon refining technique, =level blood
A spiritual weapon is a magic weapon that can be upgraded and used by high-level monks under certain conditions. Therefore, if a potential monk can possess a suitable blood spiritual weapon, its value can be imagined.
Now Master Zhang has made a breakthrough in this aspect. If our Luoyun Sect can delve into it in depth, it will be of great benefit to the future development of the sect."
"Since this thing is so important, it's important to keep and use it after all." Without much effort, a red-faced Confucian scholar suddenly spoke uncontrollably.
"Junior brother Song, what you said is wrong. Senior brother, the leader, has always dealt with things carefully. The method you mentioned must have been considered. Since no action has been taken, there must be some concerns. I don't know if it is convenient for the senior brother, the leader, to say it clearly.
What?" Another white-faced scholar chimed in with a chuckle.
"There is nothing that cannot be explained clearly." Wei Yiming took a deep look at the red-faced Confucian scholar before, then picked up the tea cup next to him and took a sip. "I just said that the blood weapon has some magical properties.
The refined object. Therefore, this treasure of Master Zhang has been decided as the owner, and now no one else can control it except him. In a battle of spells, you cannot rely on the difference in mana to seize control.
Therefore, it is no longer realistic to bring it back to the sect through transactions."
......
After half a day, the stewards left the Liuyun Palace one after another, leaving only Wei Yiming sitting on the main seat with a hesitant look on his face. Regarding the arrangement of Sun Huo's whereabouts, there was still no fair result.
It's not that he can't see that most of the people who are opposed to this matter on the surface, apart from not wanting to let the interests of Tiangong Temple be divided by a young boy, are secretly trying to find other ways to win over.
And even those few old fritters who are superficially interested in this matter will not give up their interests easily, and their calculations should be very clear. It is really a tricky thing.
After a long time, Wei Yiming suddenly thought of something and quickly got up and went to a remote secret room.
There was nothing in the secret room, as if it was an empty room that had been forgotten. After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, Wei Yiming raised his hand and tapped the air a few times in several different directions. Then, the secret room opened.
The ground in the middle seemed to come alive and moved around. In the soft white light, a small stone platform with a pattern of dark clouds slowly rose up holding a bronze mirror.
Skillfully placed a few low-grade spirit stones in several grooves on the stone platform. In the sound of Wei Yiming's murmured incantation, the bronze mirror was activated, and the bright light shone brightly. After a while, it was projected on the opposite wall.
A shadow of a person's upper body appeared. But to Wei Yiming's slight surprise, the shadow turned its back to him, indicating that the other person was not facing the bronze mirror either, which was a bit unusual.
"Headmaster Wei, what's the point of using the communication mirror at this time?" A low voice came from the mirror, familiar but a little hoarse.
"Don't you know what's going on with me? What's going on in the Luoyun Sect? It's not all covered by dark clouds. Why would you ask so knowingly? Let's be honest, that kid is yours.
How should we deal with it? Such a ostentatious and ostentatious move is really not like the usual behavior of the secret guards." Wei Yiming did not talk in circles, but raised Sun Huo's question unceremoniously.
"This question shouldn't trouble Master Wei." After pondering for a moment, Xuying responded. "Regardless of his qualifications, level of weapon refining skills, or ability to manage affairs, that kid is obviously not qualified for the position of Deputy Palace Master.
It is impossible for him to take up the post now."
"It's impossible now, so you mean it will be possible in the future?" Wei Yiming immediately grasped the key point of the words and asked with a raised eyebrow, as for Wu Yun actually wanting to promote a young boy to the top, both in public and private matters.
I feel very doubtful and dissatisfied.
"Let's put it this way, the wind direction will not be very good in the next few years. The Luoyun Sect needs a few more umbrellas to prepare for rainy days. Even if these umbrellas are just superficial, they have to be used. So, this is just a plan to go along with the flow.
The above means, prepare to be the deputy palace master. In addition, Wuyun will help him build momentum in the future, so you can just act according to the opportunity. That's it."
After saying this, without waiting for Wei Yiming to ask any more questions, the bronze mirror suddenly dimmed, and it was obvious that the other party had cut off contact on its own. After a long moment of silence, Wei Yiming sighed softly and left the place with heavy thoughts.
At the same time, in the open space selected as the location of the cave, Sun Huo was alone, facing the west, kneeling upright.
