In the main hall of the Taoist Palace, Jiang Chengzi stood tall and straight in the center of the hall, displaying his master-level cultivation to the fullest without showing any of the pleasant expressions he displayed when talking to Lin Ze.
Shouzheng sat on the palace master's seat, looking at him coldly without saying a word.
Xuan Ming, who was on the other side, could not help but shouted angrily: "Tao Palace has raised you for many years, why have you contributed so much to Dao Palace that you dare to ask for so many heavenly materials and earthly treasures?"
Jiang Chengzi just replied with a stern face: "Xuan Ming, just because I am the supreme elder and have protected the Taoist palace for hundreds of years, it is more than that. If you think it is inappropriate, I propose to summon all the elders to discuss the matter. Listen to
Listen to what they say."
Xuan Ming became even more angry when he heard this: "Do you want to rely on your status as the supreme elder to lead other elders to force the palace?"
Jiang Chengzi has been the supreme elder of the Dao Palace for hundreds of years. He was keen on recruiting disciples in his early years. Now more than half of the elders in the Dao Palace are his disciples and grandsons. Their power is extremely huge. How come Xuan Ming doesn't know what he thinks.
Jiang Chengzi countered General Yijun and said: "Xuanming, what does it mean to force the palace? Is it true that our Dao Palace has become a one-word hall and you have the final say? Or maybe you and the palace owner can ignore other elders just because you are strong in the master realm.
Any opinions?"
Xuan Ming snorted coldly: "Then it's not your turn to mess around."
Jiang Chengzi just sneered: "Whether I am messing around or not, it doesn't matter what you say. The decision of the Elders Council has the final say. Shouldn't it follow the people's will? I ask the palace master to convene the Council of Elders immediately."
Shouzheng finally spoke up: "Let's not mention the matter of the Presbyterian Council for the moment. I would like to ask the Supreme Elder, do you really want to do this? You must know that there are not many cultivation resources in the palace. If the Supreme Elder takes away so much at once, I am afraid that
It is not good for the inheritance of the Dao Palace, and you and I may both become the sinners of the Dao Palace."
Jiang Chengzi replied calmly: "So that the palace master can know that I use these resources in exchange for the secret method of reincarnation. If the palace master is willing to teach me the secret of the Tao Palace, this matter can be dropped. If the palace master doesn't
If you are willing to hand over the secrets of the Dao Palace to me, then I will decide on this resource."
Then he said grimly: "As the saying goes, blocking someone's path is like killing his parents. If I don't get what I want, then no one will be able to live well."
There was a strong sense of threat in his words.
Shouzheng looked helpless and said: "I have told the Supreme Elder many times that there is no secret method of reincarnation passed down in the Dao Palace, and I really can't get it..."
Jiang Chengzi waved his hand and interrupted: "Since the Palace Master has said so, there is no need to say more, just give me the things."
As he was talking, Jiang Chengzi suddenly remembered something and added: "Don't you have a close friendship with Lin Ze, the reincarnated sage? He set the price. If you don't want Daogong to pay so much, you can go to him.
Let’s discuss it carefully.”
"If he is willing to ask for less, the Dao Palace will be able to provide less, and you don't have to worry."
Xuan Ming couldn't help but look at Shouzheng.
Shouzheng said flatly: "Since the Supreme Elder has reached an agreement with others, there is no need to regret it."
Jiang Chengzi smiled happily and said: "The palace master is still aware of the righteousness. I would like to thank you here and ask the palace master to take out the things as soon as possible. The Taoist friend is still waiting in Sisiang Pavilion."
Shouzheng replied calmly: "Didn't the Supreme Elder want to convene the elders to discuss the matter? Now that the matter has been decided, it is time to let the elders know about it, lest everyone think that I, as the palace master, have squandered everyone's resources.
"
Jiang Chengzi looked slightly cold when he heard this: "Palace Master, do you want me to bear the infamy?"
Xuan Ming said angrily on the side: "You took the resources, and if everyone has any resentment, will the palace master have to shoulder the responsibility for you?"
Shouzheng said indifferently: "The Supreme Elder can also choose not to use this resource."
Jiang Chengzi was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed and said: "It's just a little reputation. As a dying man, do I still care about these false reputations? The palace master can just summon the elders, I am willing to bear everything."
Upon hearing this, Shouzheng took a deep look at Jiang Chengzi and sighed secretly: "Sure enough, the dying people are the craziest."
Turning to Xuan Ming, he said with firm eyes: "Ring the bell and summon all the elders."
Xuan Ming nodded, turned and left.
Then the melodious bell rang, echoing in the Taoist palace. All the Taoist palace gates listened carefully, and stopped when they counted the sixth tone.
Immediately, the ordinary disciples breathed a sigh of relief and continued busy with their own affairs. The elders gathered towards the Dao Palace Hall.
The six bells express the way the Taoist palace convenes the elders to discuss matters.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the entire hall was crowded with people. Except for the elders who had long since retreated and were not interested in worldly affairs, there were still hundreds of elders who arrived at the hall, waiting for Shouzheng to speak.
In order to obtain resources and successfully obtain the secret method in Lin Ze's hands, Jiang Chengzi no longer considered other influences and took the initiative to stand up and say:
"The elders are summoned this time because I need to mobilize a large amount of resources from the Dao Palace due to my own reasons. The palace owner has already agreed because of my dedication to the Dao Palace for many years. All I have to do is nod."
"Let's not talk nonsense. If you elders feel that I have indeed made a contribution to the Dao Palace, how about you support me for once?"
At this time, Shouzheng spoke: "The resources that the Supreme Elder needs this time are not a small amount for the Dao Palace, and I do not dare to make a decision easily."
Then he told Jiang Chengzi about twenty heavenly materials and two hundred sixth-grade earthly treasures.
Most of the elders changed their expressions. With their wealth, they might not be able to give out even one-tenth of the money even if they tried their best.
When Jiang Chengzi saw something bad, he immediately said: "I am willing to dedicate my lifelong cultivation experience to the Tao Palace for all the elders to see, including the secret method of advanced master, in exchange for these resources."
The elder, who was originally a little hesitant, couldn't help but look moved.
Shouzheng sighed inwardly, but said calmly on his face: "As per the old rules, all the elders will vote. If more than half of the votes are passed, it will pass. Those who agree with the Supreme Elder to mobilize resources will raise their hands."
Jiang Chengzi looked at the elders who were familiar with him with burning eyes, forcing them to raise their right hands.
Shouzheng glanced at it and said calmly: "There are one hundred and twenty-four elders present, and eighty-two of them agree. Grand Supreme Chang Jiang Chengzi has mobilized a large number of resources from the Dao Palace to pass the resolution. The meeting is adjourned."
This is how the Taoist palace handles things. There will be no delay in voting, and all the elders will leave in droves.
Jiang Chengzi couldn't help but said: "Then please ask the palace master to open the warehouse as soon as possible and take out the things and give them to me. I am waiting for urgent use."
Shouzheng nodded slightly and disappeared into the hall. When he came back, he already had two wooden boxes, one large and one small.
Jiang Chengzi reached out to take it, but Shouzheng got out of the way.
Jiang Chengzi asked unexpectedly: "What does this mean, Palace Master?"
Shouzheng turned a deaf ear and turned to Xuan Ming and said, "Elder Xuan Ming, please take these heavenly and earthly treasures with you and confirm that the Supreme Elder is using them in exchange for the secret method of reincarnation."
"Also, Elder Xuanming, please be sure to bring back the rubbings of the secret method of reincarnation and deposit it in the secret method pavilion. The price is 10,000 good deeds, and everyone in the Taoist palace can rely on good deeds to exchange it."
Xuan Ming nodded and took the wooden box with both hands.
Hearing this, Jiang Chengzi trembled slightly and said in a cold voice: "I have agreed with the sages that this secret method is only for my use. Why does the palace master need to create complications?"
Shouzheng said calmly: "Since it is a secret method for exchanging Dao Palace resources, it should naturally be regarded as a property of the Dao Palace. The Supreme Elder does not need to worry. There is a mystery to this matter. I will explain it to the sages."
Xuan Ming looked at Jiang Chengzi's unwilling expression and felt as if he had breathed out in his heart: "Elder Taishang, let's go. If we go late, what if they don't change? Wouldn't it be worse?"
