After listening to the words of the second elder, even the first elder secretly cursed the other person as "shameless!"
The second elder finally put all the blame on himself, but in the end he finally agreed, so the first elder didn't want to continue to struggle with this matter and continued.
"But there is one more thing. Fellow Daoist Li had already practiced my clan's 'Qiongqi Purgatory Technique' when he was the quasi 'King Qing'.
Ah Ying also only passed on the first three levels in accordance with the clan rules. Due to the invasion of the demon clan at that time, he was unable to pass the news to the clan in time.
Fellow Daoist Li was also in a battle with the demons and was trapped in a certain place for nearly a hundred years. He has been delayed in coming here until now. Do the two elders have any opinions on the fact that Fellow Daoist Li has practiced the 'Qiongqi Purgatory Technique'?"
The great elder looked around the two of them.
"Although Fellow Daoist Li was unable to participate in the assessment of 'King Qing'a' before forming the elixir, the help that Fellow Daoist Li gave to our clan last time can already offset his past mistakes. Now we just need to let him take another assessment."
The third elder waved his jade hand and took the lead in expressing his opinion.
"Hahaha, I have a different opinion on this matter. With Fellow Daoist Li's current magical powers, what's the point of those assessment methods within the clan? It would be more appropriate to switch to a certain task assessment!"
The second elder glanced at the third elder and sneered in his heart. The other elder was simply protecting him to the extreme.
With Li Yan's cultivation level, unless the Great Elder personally conducts the assessment, the content of the assessment in the clan will be in vain. If it is really done like that, what the Great Elder says will be nonsense.
So what if the elder takes action? His surname is Gong, and he loves Ah Ying so much, so he knows it without even thinking about it.
He will definitely hold back. Therefore, he will not even mention the conditions for the Great Elder to take action.
At the same time, the second elder also felt a little helpless. Based on Li Yan's performance last time, he really helped the Tianli people escape from the crisis.
Over the years, no one on his side has killed a fourth-level wind beast. This alone, Li Yan's contribution to the Tianli clan exceeds any assessment.
Coupled with the attitude of the First Elder and others, there is no way to stop Li Yan from becoming "King Qing".
My plan to bring Gong Chenying over has come to nothing. Compared with Li Yan, the younger generation of the Tianli tribe are not even qualified to carry his shoes.
How can those high-level monks who are on an equal footing with me compare with others? What's more, Gong Chenying has already told the story about the navel ring, so others can't let her violate the clan rules.
If only Gong Chenying became the opponent's Taoist companion, the second elder would have no choice but to endure it. However, since ancient times, how many people have spread the "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique" in total? Even one hand would not be enough.
Even if the ancestors of the Wei family showed great kindness to the Tianli clan, the chief priest at that time could only teach them the first three levels.
That was the result of a great priest's best efforts, but it was still questioned by some tribesmen. In his opinion, the Tianli tribe had not really reached its end when Li Yan appeared last time.
How could the Second Elder be willing to spread the follow-up techniques of "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique" so easily?
"But I don't know what kind of task I want to complete?"
Li Yan spoke calmly. He had already expected that if the second elder agreed immediately, he would feel that something was wrong.
"Since Fellow Daoist Li failed to take the assessment before the prescribed level, then
Just like the third elder As he said, the merits he achieved last time were only offset by the violation of clan rules.
According to the examples from our ancestors, if you want to obtain the subsequent ‘Qiongqi Purgatory Technique’, you must have an indelible contribution to our clan. And after completing an assessment, you can only obtain one layer of the technique!”
When the second elder said this, his eyes flickered a few times. If he wanted to obtain the follow-up technique of "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique", Li Yan must once again make an indelible contribution to the Tianli people.
"Oh? But I don't know how to define it. What is great merit?"
Li Yan looked at the second elder with a half-smile on his face.
"If what Fellow Daoist Li has done is finally approved by at least half of the five elders including me, then there will be no problem!"
The second elder had a smile on his face at this time and looked at Li Yan calmly.
"Then asking him to investigate the whereabouts of the clan leader and the sixth elder, is it considered a great achievement?"
At this moment, a cold voice came from one side. It was Gong Chenying. She had been silent. Even when Li Yan mentioned the message just now, she never spoke.
She originally wanted to find time to investigate that matter later, to find out who was in charge of the clan's internal and external affairs during that period, but Li Yan raised the issue directly in front of the second elder and the others.
She also knew that it was the fifth elder who did it, and she sneered in her heart. After seeing the second elder wipe out Li Yan's achievements again and again, she simply raised the "evaluation content" directly.
When Gong Chenying stated the conditions, first, she did not say "father", but in the name of the clan leader; second, she did not say "rescue" the two of them, but only "explore".
"What? Fellow Daoist Li wants
To investigate the situation of the clan leader and the sixth elder? This..."
The second elder was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't expect Gong Chenying to propose such an "assessment", but he was also an old man. He glanced at the other three and immediately understood everything.
"Hehehe...it turns out you had a plan in advance!"
But the "patriarch" in Gong Chenying's sentence is also powerful. The person Li Yan wants to help is the patriarch of the Tianli clan. This is to highlight the importance first.
Now that they have not used the senior monks in your clan and are willing to look for Gong Shanhe and the others, can you say that the clan leader is irrelevant? It cannot be considered a great achievement?
The second elder's thoughts were racing in his mind, and then he shook his head again.
"Is it just to explore the whereabouts of the clan leader and the others? To put it bluntly, Fellow Daoist Li may not like to hear it. If Fellow Daoist Daoist just went there and walked around for a while and then came back, how can this be counted?
I think it should be considered a great achievement after rescuing the clan leader and the sixth elder."
Gong Chenying listened to the second elder's rebuttal, with no change on his face, and thought to himself.
"Sure enough, I have the same idea as the Great Elder and others. Just finding out the current situation is not enough. But after all, the Great Elder is of the same lineage as me, so he finally agreed!"
Gong Chenying continued to speak.
"I will accompany him there. If there is a way to rescue him, do the elders think that I will not rescue Dad?"
This time she called herself "Daddy" again.
", to show that the person closest to her is in trouble, will she not take action if she has the chance to save him?
Regarding Gong Chenying's words, the second elder still shook his head.
"What we are talking about here is meritorious service to the Tianli people. If it is just an exploration, Daoyou Li can become 'King Qing' even if he doesn't go there.
But the treatment is not the highest!”
"The clan leader and the sixth elder have not been able to come out for so many years. When Daoyou Li takes over this task, there is really no guarantee that he can be rescued. ??
If they can bring back accurate information, it will actually be a great contribution to us, and it will be more valuable than my divination. We can make the next plan based on the real situation!"
The third elder spoke with a smile, and his words were all directed towards Li Yan.
The second elder glanced at her, his face remaining calm.
"The Third Elder's words are wrong. If you want to get the highest treatment from 'King Qing'a', you must really make great contributions to the Tianli people instead of lowering your standards.
This has been a clan rule since ancient times and we cannot go beyond it. If there are any objections to this, we should wait and see when the fourth and fifth elders can be released from seclusion. Then we will vote together and half of them will agree."
The second elder still insisted, and the last suggestion he made would not be passed at all. The fourth elder and the fifth elder were all his people.
The First Elder frowned. It was related to the clan's treasure book "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique". Of course he understood the Second Elder's attitude, but Li Yan was also the person he wanted to win over. His combat prowess in that battle was quite impressive.
And just when he was thinking about how to persuade the second elder, Li Yan suddenly smiled at the second elder.
"Then what does the second elder think we can do to count?"
He could tell that the second elder must have other ideas. After listening to Li Yan's questioning, the second elder thought to himself.
"How do I think it can be done? It is best that you are not 'King Qing', it is best that you can kill Yan San, and it is best that you do not practice 'Qiongqi Purgatory Technique'. Do you think it is possible?"
He really wanted to say
If Li Yan could kill another fourth-level wind beast, he would be able to count.
But now Gong Chenying has brought up the matter of rescuing the clan leader and the Sixth Elder. If he denies it again, then he has ulterior motives.
When Li Yan looked at him, the second elder's eyes saw what was hanging on Li Yan's waist, and his eyes lit up.
"I think it would be better to rescue the clan leader and the Sixth Elder as discussed before. That will definitely mean that Fellow Daoist Li has completed the assessment task and can teach him the fourth-level skills.
But if we just find out the information about the two of them, then Fellow Daoist Li needs to add one more thing, and I think the assessment task can be regarded as completed!"
After saying this, the second elder looked into Li Yan's eyes with a smile.
"One more thing? Please tell me!"
Li Yan's face was as calm as ever, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking at this time.
"This is actually extremely simple for Fellow Daoist Li, but for our Tianli people, it is really crucial.
That is, our current purchase of the new ‘Grey Cloud Eagle’ and subsequent refining will take some time to complete.
So, fellow Taoist Li Yan, can you let a mosquito like you help our clan once? You only need to defend the opponent's low-level 'Wind Goose Beast' for one year.
If Fellow Daoist Li also finds out the news about the clan leader and the others, adding these two things together will be a great contribution to our clan, and this contribution cannot be said to be a small matter by anyone!"
After hearing this, the First Elder and the Third Elder immediately flashed a bright light in their eyes.
Now, they are hesitating about these things. To say that the second elder's suggestion is really good, this is what they need to solve most urgently right now.
matter.
Li Yan frowned when he heard this, and a cold look appeared on Gong Chenying's delicate face.
Of course she also saw the scene of the Snow Mosquito clan showing off its might that day. It was really the best monster to resist the "Cloud Goose Beast", more suitable than the "Gray Cloud Eagle".
However, in her opinion, those mosquitoes were alien species that were difficult to find in the world, and it might have been very difficult for Li Yan to cultivate them. In order to save herself, at least thousands of snow mosquitoes died in that battle alone.
In order to possibly go to Beiming Town to experience demons, Gong Chenying also read the relevant classics. In fact, she knew about the snow mosquitoes, but she did not expect that Li Yan could bring them out of the Beiming Town Demon Tower, so she thought that the snow mosquitoes were other alien species.
.
The second elder said that he would help the Tianli people defend themselves for a year. Li Yan estimated that it would be good if there would only be a few snow mosquitoes left by then.
At this moment, the second elder continued to speak.
"It's just that in view of the current situation, a large number of warriors have been killed every day in front of our clan, especially the casualties of mortal warriors.
This matter should have been decided after seeing whether Fellow Daoist Li rescued the clan leader or brought back news about them, but the current situation is indeed urgent, so I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Li to help in advance, is it possible?"
As soon as he said this, not only did Gong Chenying feel that the second elder was a bit shameless, but even the first elder and the third elder, who were equally moved, had a hint of embarrassment on their faces.
The second elder clearly meant that no matter whether Li Yan could rescue Gong Shanhe and the sixth elder, he had to take out those mosquito monsters first.
He will make a detailed judgment after he returns from the mission. If he really rescues the two of them, it will be considered as completing the mission. In the opinion of the second elder,
, then Li Yan could just take back the snow mosquitoes, which would not increase his credit anyway.
Li Yan's coming and going, unless there are any accidents, may take up to two months at the earliest. By then, the number of Snow Mosquito clan members will have died.
What's more, if Li Yan accidentally gets trapped in that dangerous place, then these mosquito monsters will belong to the Tianli tribe in the future.
The second elder's calculations could be said to be rattling. He had figured out the purpose of Li Yan's coming here. He came here for beauty and skills.
"Second Elder, do you think this is appropriate? You used to say one thing must be the same, but now you have to..."
Gong Chenying immediately asked, but did not wait for her to finish her words.
Li Yan's face, which had been frowning, had returned to normal. He waved his hand to Gong Chenying and then interjected.
"Actually, the Second Elder's proposal can still be considered. Does the Second Elder just want to defend against those low-level 'Wind Wild Goose Beasts'?"
Li Yan's sudden interruption and the meaning behind his words stunned several people.
