Chen Mobai has always had a clear distinction between grievances and grievances.
When he was practicing Qi in the past, if E Yun hadn't killed a group of Nanshan bandits, Chen Mobai might not have been able to join the Shenmu Sect so easily.
After joining the sect, E Yun also took good care of him, and Chen Mobai kept these feelings firmly in his heart.
When both of them were building a foundation, there were not many places where they could help because they were separated from each other.
But now that Chen Mobai has formed a pill, he feels that he can repay Eyun's kindness.
"If you want to be the leader, I will do my best to help you."
After listening to Chen Mobai's words, E Yun felt an unprecedented touch burst out from the bottom of his heart.
In the ruthless and ungrateful Eastern Wilderness, E Yun felt that he was really lucky in this life to meet a person like Chen Mobai who valued love and righteousness.
Chen Mobai: "I've already asked the other side of the Red River. He aims at a higher realm and doesn't want to be the leader and take up time for practice before his cultivation reaches a bottleneck."
As a genius whose talent is recognized second only to Chen Mobai in the Shenmu Sect, Honghe's goal is only to form pills. So when Chen Mobai asked, he expressed his meaning clearly.
Chen Mobai: "The King of Zhou is different. He is determined to win the position of head. With Senior Brother Zhou's face, I can't say much."
After hearing these words, E Yun's face was slightly happy: "In other words, there is only one opponent for me."
In response, Chen Mobai shook his head: "Although Honghe himself has no interest in the position of leader, as the direct descendant of Senior Brother Fu, the people in the Punishment Hall will surround him to compete for the position of leader.
He can't refuse the position."
Hong He was able to cultivate to such a level, in addition to his outstanding talent, the help of the Evil Punishment Hall was not small.
Even if Hong He doesn't want to, these people will push him to compete for the position of leader for their own benefit.
The situation now is very clear.
The Divine Tree Hall, the Evil Punishment Hall, and the Good Reward Hall each support one person, hoping to support their own person to become the leader after Chu Zuoshu abdicates.
Among them, although Chen Mobai, as an alchemy monk, now has great power, he still has to consider Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue who are in retreat.
Although Chen Mobai is confident, as long as he has a tough attitude, he can definitely push E Yun to the position of leader.
But in this way, internal cracks will be buried, and it may even trigger the rebellious mentality of the extreme people on the other two sides. Maybe one day when the external war is unfavorable, it will become the cause of civil strife.
"Among the three, you are the least likely to rise to the top, and Hong He is the most likely. But Zhou Wangshen has repeatedly made military exploits in the past ten years. He can be said to be the one with the most merit among the foundation-building monks in the sect, and he also has the most powerful sacred tree.
With the support of the palace and the Zhou family, we can compete with Honghe."
In comparison, Eyun has guarded some of the cities in Yun Kingdom and Yunmengze over the years. Although the sect has gained more and more spiritual stone resources in these places, compared to Honghe and Zhou Wangshen, it has not
It's really not enough to watch.
"Actually, I was aware of this before and applied to the sect to go to the front line. Unfortunately, I never received the sect's order."
When E Yun said this, his face also looked gloomy.
In the three recent wars launched by the Shenmu Sect, he was not recruited, but not only him, but also Honghe.
The reason for this will become clear when you think about it.
The Zhou family must have done something to put the two of them at the bottom of their priority list.
However, at that time, Honghe and Eyun were only in the middle stage of foundation building. On that kind of battlefield, the outcome could not be decided with or without the two of them. Therefore, the Zhou family arranged it like this, including Chu Zuoshu.
The upper echelons of Shenmu Sect just pretended not to know.
"I can't blame them for acting within the rules. In this election for the head of the Shenmu Sect, I will only help you within the rules of the sect and will not break the rules for you. In this case, the consequences will be too great.
big."
Chen Mobai will not forget his ideals, and gradually improves Donghuang with the rules of the Immortal Sect, turning it into a small Immortal Sect.
The core of the Immortal Sect is the strict legal network.
E Yun: "Then how should I compete with the two senior brothers?"
Chen Mobai: "After much thought, I can't think of any way to elevate you to the same level as them in a short period of time."
After hearing Chen Mobai's words, E Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling that he had no hope.
"So I decided to help you delay for another twenty years. If twenty years is not enough, then sixty or a hundred years, until your cultivation and achievements can equal or even exceed those of Honghe Zhou Wang and Shen."
Just when E Yun raised his glass with regret on his face and was about to drink away his sorrows, Chen Mobai's words made him stunned.
What does this mean?
…
Zhou family.
As Zhou Shengqing's family, although they have always kept a low profile, they are the undisputed first family of the Shenmu Sect.
In addition to the five foundation-building monks in the family itself, at least more than half of the foundation-building monks in the three halls and twelve departments have received favors from Zhou Shengqing or the Zhou family.
And these people have been recruiting people from outside, and their relationships are so dense that they almost include the entire Shenmu Sect.
As long as you think about the fact that the two heads of the Shenmu Sect, Meng Hong and Chu Zuoshu, were both disciples of Zhou Shengqing, you can imagine how powerful the Zhou family is.
It is precisely because of this that Zhou Wangshen has always been confident about becoming the head of the Shenmu Sect.
It doesn't matter that Hong He's cultivation level is higher, but his contribution to the sect is meager, and it can't be compared with him who was born and died in Yan Country.
Although the news that Chu Zuoshu was about to abdicate was too hasty, the Zhou family still made a series of plans to compete for the leadership of Zhou Wangshen in the shortest possible time.
The only variable in this plan is the ancestor of the Pill Formation.
Under Zhou Shengqing's seclusion, if Fu Zongjue and Chen Mobai didn't nod, even if all the twelve departments of the three palaces supported Zhou Wangshen, it would be difficult for him to become the leader legitimately.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Will Patriarch Fu die for his disciples?"
Zhou Junzhi, the foundation builder of the Zhou family, said with some worry.
"No, as long as we don't go too far and win the election in an upright manner, Mr. Fu will not give up his face for Honghe."
Although the alchemy monks have the power to change the world in the sect, Shenmu Sect has three alchemy sects after all. Fu Zongjue is still unable to keep his promise. Under the general trend, he will definitely not be just for the position of head.
, rather than being shameless.
Zhou Junxian, the eldest elder of the Zhou family, had a thorough understanding of Fu Zongjue, because he and Fu Zongjue were equally famous at the beginning. Unfortunately, he failed to form the elixir and was left crippled, while Fu Zongjue had overcome the calamity.
The two have the best relationship as brothers, and his analysis of Fu Zongjue received everyone's nod.
"What about Patriarch Chen?"
The Zhou family didn't know much about this newly promoted ancestor of the Shenmu Sect. Although they had heard of his peerless swordsmanship genius, they felt that if he wanted to form a pill, he would at least have to queue up.
Wait until Chu Zuoshu.
The Zhou family still has enough time to get along well with him.
Who would have thought that in just over twenty years, the Zhou family's foundation builders had not even laid eyes on Chen Mobai, who suddenly went out to form pills successfully.
This is too fast!
"When I was in Rock Country, I followed Old Ancestor Chen through life and death several times, and I knew his character quite well. What Old Ancestor Chen valued most was the rules. When marching and setting up formations, if anyone violated his orders, he would be punished by the order.
No mercy. So as long as we follow the rules, he might in turn support me to become the leader."
Zhou Wangshen spoke. As the youngest foundation builder of the Zhou family and the only direct descendant with the ability to form pills, the weight of his words is second only to that of the great elder.
"If that's the case, it would be best."
After hearing this, the other foundation builders of the Zhou family all nodded, feeling that it was a sure thing that Zhou Wangshen would be the leader.
The day of the sect meeting soon arrived.
In addition to the upper echelons of the twelve divisions of the three halls, all the foundation-building monks who stayed in Jumuling and were not in seclusion were all called over by the order of the master.
A total of forty-two foundation-building monks were sitting behind their desks, waiting with solemn expressions.
After Chu Zuoshu, as the leader, finished saluting in the direction of the three longevity trees, everyone stood up and shouted after him.
"Welcome to our ancestors!"
Two vast spiritual lights lit up from two of the immortal trees. In a very short period of time, they rose into the sky, from far to near, and landed in the sky above the Shenmu Temple. Then they rushed straight into the temple.
.
The aura dissipated, and a majestic young man and a handsome young man emerged.
It is Fu Zongjue and Chen Mobai!
"Greetings to the ancestor!"
Facing the great gift from the forty-two foundation-building monks below, Chen Mobai made an invitation gesture to Fu Zongjue. The latter was not polite and asked Chu Zuoshu to start today's sect meeting.
"The war between the sect and Iwakuni has left the warehouse empty of spiritual stones, and the budgets of various departments need to be reduced..."
"The Alchemy Department is preparing to refine the Monster Foundation Establishment Pill. There are many auxiliary medicines that need to be purchased from the major families in the Eastern Wasteland. If the budget is cut, the elixir will not be refined. It will be enough to cut down other departments. The Alchemy Department cannot cut..."
"Our Spiritual Planting Department has responded to Patriarch Chen's call in the past twenty years and reclaimed wasteland to plant spiritual rice. Nowadays, it is no longer enough to take care of the medicinal fields and spiritual fields. A large number of spiritual stones are needed to hire sect disciples to take care of the spiritual plants. If
Budget cuts will miss the overall situation of Chen Laozu’s spiritual rice. It must not be allowed..."
"The Puppet Department is repairing Ancestor Fu's Ziyang Puppet..."
"Spiritual Beast Department..."
"Body training department..."
The sect's general meeting was held, and Luo Xue'er, the deputy head of Shanshan Hall who was in charge of the sect's spiritual stone bag, stood up first and proposed an internal cost-saving plan based on what was reported to Chen Mobai last night.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she was basically boycotted by all departments.
And the reason is either for the overall interests of the sect, or it involves the two ancestors above.
The implication behind the words is that you can't cut it on their heads.
"I would also like to ask the two ancestors to tell you that the spiritual stones in the sect's treasure house can only be distributed for half a year. It is estimated that it will take three and a half years of deficit to recover from the business and mineral veins and achieve a balance of payments."
Logically speaking, a proposal that was collectively opposed by all departments could just be rejected directly, but Luo Xueer persevered and brought it up to the eyes of the two Jiedan ancestors.
In order to restrict the power of the Three Halls and Twelve Departments, the rejected proposals can be brought to the ears of the ancestors.
But no one has done this since the Shenmu Sect was founded.
Everyone has a tacit understanding to control things within the limits that do not trouble the ancestor of Jiedan.
Now that Luo Xueer is doing this, it can be seen that the spiritual stone in Shanshan Hall has indeed bottomed out, and she really has no choice.
"In addition to spiritual stones, what resources are more abundant in the sect?"
Chen Mobai, who was sitting on the right side of the head, asked.
Luo Xueer: "Thanks to Old Ancestor Chen's spiritual rice plan, the warehouse is now filled with all kinds of spiritual rice."
Chen Mobai: "One of the sect rules is that if you receive spiritual rice in lieu of the annual spiritual stone salary, an additional tenth can be added as compensation."
As soon as this was said, everyone naturally voted unanimously.
After receiving Chen Mobai's signal, Chu Zuoshu, as the leader, set an example and decided to give up his salary for the entire year to help the sect tide over the difficulties.
As soon as he said this, everyone below stared at him. If looks could kill, Chu Zuoshu would have been penetrated.
"This disciple is also willing to give up this year's spiritual stones."
The second person to speak was Zhou Wangshen.
Then the foundation builders of the Zhou family followed suit one after another, with excited expressions, saying that not to mention one year, there would be no problem in the next three years.
The rest of the foundation-building monks finally understood why they were called over, but at this time, they could only express their helplessness.
After this round of statements, only six of the forty-two foundations in the Shenmu Temple were indifferent and just pretended not to hear.
Chen Mobai and Fu Zong absolutely looked at each other, nodded and said: "All the apprentice nephews risked their lives for the sect, how can we let you spend money again? Lingshi will make an IOU first, and wait until the sect recovers.
Come and exchange it again.”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the six foundation-building monks who had not spoken a word changed slightly.
But before he had time to defend himself, Chu Zuoshu had already proposed to step down as head.
"If this disciple wants to attack the pill formation, please ask the two ancestors to help him."
Two generations of heads of the Shenmu Sect resigned for this reason. It is precisely for this reason that foundation-building monks who aim at forming pills will think of becoming the head.
"Can!"
Fu Zongjue nodded.
"As a reminder to the two ancestors, after the disciples step down, the sect must not be left without a master for a day. The king of Zhou, the guardian of the Xiao Kingdom, is young and promising, and has made outstanding achievements. He can take over as the disciple and become the leader!"
As a disciple of Zhou Shengqing, Chu Zuoshu still planned to repay the Zhou family's favor at the last moment and recommend Zhou Wangshen to become the leader.
As soon as he said this, more than half of the people in the Shenmu Temple's foundation building, plus the Zhou family, the alchemy department, etc., supported Zhou Wang Shen.
Seeing this scene, Quan Shanlin, the deputy head of the Punishment Hall, who originally wanted to promote Honghe to compete with Zhou Wangshen, couldn't help but sigh, feeling that the situation was over.
"Master Nephew Zhou is still a bit younger after all. I think there is someone more suitable to be the head of the sect under such circumstances as him."
Suddenly, Chen Mobai spoke.
Fu Zongjue's expression on the side changed slightly after hearing this, and when he was thinking about whether to stop Chen Mobai from forcefully coming, the latter stood up and walked to the position of the leader.
