Zhenhai Sect has already come up with enough conditions to make all casual cultivators excited. Joining now will not arouse too much suspicion.
However, Wang Daoyuan still planned to be more cautious and minimize his doubts.
After all, Zhenhaizong's reputation is not very good.
Under normal circumstances, casual cultivators should stay away from a force that plays tricks on clones and corpse refining.
If I decline it again, it should be more true.
Thinking of this, Wang Daoyuan cupped his hands and said: "I am very tempted by Taoist friend's conditions. It's just..."
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Liu Jingtao asked, "If fellow Taoist disciples have any dissatisfaction, feel free to speak out."
Wang Daoyuan still did not say clearly: "At first, I just wanted to stay on this Demon Slaying Island for a few years and had no intention of joining the Zhenhai Sect.
The conditions offered by fellow Taoists are too generous, and I am very tempted.
I need to think about it carefully before I give you an answer."
Liu Jingtao's face was very calm: "This is human nature, so I will leave now and come back for a visit in a month."
Wang Daoyuan sent him outside, then closed the shop and returned to the backyard.
At this time, Zhou Luan was cultivating the elixir.
She had stayed in the Lingzhu space for hundreds of years, and her cultivation level had already surpassed Wang Daoyuan's.
Just in order not to appear too abrupt, he suppressed his realm and did not break through to the late stage of divine transformation.
Her cultivation level could no longer be improved, so she spent all her time cultivating immortality and various arts.
When I have nothing to do, I just look at the inheritance of Shenlian Sect, and then I refine weapons and elixirs.
Although her talent in alchemy and weapon refining is not very good, she has enough resources to practice her skills and enough time to hone her skills, so she can always achieve something.
Now, her level of alchemy and weapon refining has reached the fifth level.
If you want to break through the sixth level, you still need some talent.
Zhou Luan's talent in this area was not very good, and his breakthrough was not smooth.
Seeing Wang Daoyuan come in, she quickly asked: "Don't you want to sneak into Zhenhaizong? Liu Jingtao has given such good conditions, and joining will not arouse suspicion, why do you refuse?"
Wang Daoyuan smiled and said: "You have forgotten the biggest difference between us and ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
We are god-transformation monks. With all my methods, we will not be at a disadvantage even if we go head-to-head with Zhenhai Sect's god-transformation combat power.
The only thing that scares me is Zhenhai Sect's defensive formation.
But ordinary Yuanying casual cultivators are too insignificant in front of Zhenhai Sect.
It can be said that everyone knows that Zhenhai Sect is a remnant of Yuling Sect.
We are not afraid, but ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators are.
If Liu Jingtao invites us, we will join without any worries, but it may arouse suspicion."
Zhou Luan nodded: "I understand, you want to make the Zhenhaizong monks think that our husband and wife are very afraid of Zhenhaizong.
But because he couldn't resist the temptation of favorable treatment, he finally joined Zhenhaizong.
Only by doing this can we have the same mentality as ordinary casual cultivators and not arouse any suspicion."
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is really smart, and she knows everything right.
In the next month, Liu Jingtao will be struggling.
We just do whatever we need to do and don’t have to think about anything else.”
At this time, Liu Jingtao came to the old man's house in the management organization of Zhanmo Daofang City.
Seeing him coming, the old man smiled and said, "Junior Brother Liu, how do you feel?"
Liu Jingtao thought for a moment and replied: "I don't see any problem. This Zhou Lin is indeed a casual cultivator.
He is a little smart and very cautious.
But faced with the huge temptation, I still couldn't control myself.
Senior Brother Li, it seems that you are going to make meritorious deeds again this time."
Zhou Lin is Wang Daoyuan's new pseudonym. When traveling abroad, he never uses his real name.
The old man surnamed Li stroked his short beard: "Although my brother is not talented, there is no hope of breakthrough in this life.
But after all, I have lived for more than a thousand years, and I have visited both the Ten Thousand Demons Islands and the Sea of Seven Stars several times.
Although Junior Brother Liu is very talented, he spends most of his time on cultivation.
In terms of eyesight, I am slightly better than my junior brother.
The couple named Zhou are both very talented and proficient in alchemy and weapon refining. They are indeed rare talents.
Now is the time to employ people. If we can recruit them under our command, Master's future status will be more secure.
However, I still have to trouble my junior brother more about subduing Zhou Lin."
Liu Jingtao nodded: "The Supreme Elder wants to find a successor, and now is the critical moment.
If you can have a better chance of winning, you have to go all out.
If Master loses, it will be difficult for our juniors to stand up in the future.
How about, in a month, the two of us come to visit together?"
The old man surnamed Li pondered for a moment: "Okay, if we can give Master more help, it's not a big deal if we surrender."
A month passed quickly, and Zhou Luan and Wang Daoyuan were still refining elixirs and magic weapons when they had time, as before.
It looks no different from ordinary casual cultivators.
The old man surnamed Li and Liu Jingtao came to the door of Zhou's Alchemy Workshop together.
Wang Daoyuan hurriedly went to the door to greet them and welcomed them to the backyard.
The three of them sat down in a small room in the backyard. Liu Jingtao asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, have you thought about it?"
Wang Daoyuan looked flattered: "The two fellow Taoists are too polite. Zhou is just a casual cultivator. To be valued by such a big force as Zhenhai Sect, he is already lucky.
Previously, I had some concerns about joining the Zhenhai Sect because of some rumors.
The two of you are visiting the house together today, if Zhou continues to disagree, he would be very ignorant."
The old man surnamed Li stroked his beard and smiled: "Okay, okay, okay! Zhou Daoyou and his wife are willing to join, and our Zhenhaizong has gained two rare talents."
Wang Daoyuan waved his hands repeatedly: "Fellow Taoist Li has given you too much praise. Please wait a moment while my wife and I take care of things first."
Liu Jingtao smiled and said: "You can do whatever you want, Taoist friends. If you can get talents like Zhou Daoyou and his wife to join, it's nothing to wait for a while."
Wang Daoyuan and Zhou Luan collected the guys who made weapons and pills.
After a lot of trouble, the two came to the backyard hut: "Excuse me, fellow Taoists, for your time. We have packed it up."
After that, he also took out the formation token from the store: "Now that I have joined the Zhenhai Sect, this token will no longer be used, so I will give it back to Fellow Daoist Li."
The old man surnamed Li waved his hand and said: "It's just a shop, it's nothing.
Zhou Daoyou and his wife joined the Zhenhaizong, and we will be a family from now on, so this shop will be treated as a meeting gift."
Although they didn't take the store seriously, Wang Daoyuan and Zhou Luan still pretended to be overjoyed.
After a long time, Wang Daoyuan raised his hand and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist Li, for the generous gift."
Liu Jingtao smiled and said: "This store is not a big deal, the benefits are yet to come.
Since Zhou Daoyou and his wife have joined the Zhenhai Sect, we will go to Zhenhai Island now."
After that, he launched a flying boat.
The four people took the flying boat and headed due east.
Zhenhai Island, where Zhenhai Zongshan Gate is located, is more than 100,000 miles east of Demon Killing Island.
Liu Jingtao's flying boat was very fast, and it took him half a day to reach Zhenhai Island.
The area of this town island is not small. The entire island is oval in shape, about 8,000 miles long from north to south and about 5,000 miles wide from east to west.
The entire island is dominated by plateaus.
There is a long peninsula stretching out in the south of the island, and a small peninsula in the north.
The southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest each have a short small peninsula.
Seen from a high altitude, the entire Zhenhai Island looks like a giant turtle.
The Shenlian Sect originally named this island Zhenhai Island, which means Xuanwu Zhenhai.
In the middle of Zhenhai Island, there is a lake with a radius of about a thousand miles, called Xuangui Lake.
The main institutions of Zhenhaizong are all around this lake.
Wang Daoyuan also checked the situation on Zhenhai Island before collecting the Shenlian Sect files.
Underground on Zhenhai Island, there is a Zhenhai secret realm with a diameter of more than 20,000 miles and a very large scale.
The entrance to Zhenhai's secret realm is hidden at the bottom of Xuangui Lake.
Of course, it is still very difficult to enter the Zhenhai secret realm.
It can be said that Zhenhai Secret Realm is the lifeblood of Zhenhai Sect.
A monk like Wang Daoyuan, who has become a monk halfway, cannot gain the trust of senior officials at all, and it is impossible to enter the secret realm through formal channels.
Liu Jingtao flew away and arrived at the southwest corner of Black Turtle Lake.
There is a hill here that is more than a hundred feet high, and there is a cave at the foot of the hill.
Liu Jingtao came to the door of the cave, bowed and saluted: "Master, Daoyou Zhou and his wife have already brought them."
Before he finished speaking, the door of the cave opened.
A group of four people walked into the cave and passed through several stone gates before they saw a middle-aged monk sitting cross-legged on a stone couch.
Liu Jingtao and the old man surnamed Li both bowed and saluted: "Disciple, please see Master."
Wang Daoyuan and Zhou Luan also bowed and saluted: "Junior Zhou Lin, Wang Yuan, see you senior."
Wang Yuan is Zhou Luan's pseudonym, and their pseudonyms and surnames are reversed.
The middle-aged monk waved his hand, a breeze blew by, and the four of them stood up straight.
"No need to be too polite, these two are Zhou Xiaoyou and Wang Xiaoyou.
At such a young age, he has such a level of cultivation, and his level of alchemy and weapon refining is quite good, so he is a material that can be made."
Wang Daoyuan has been suppressing his cultivation. In order to prevent exposure, he has not dared to spy on this middle-aged monk.
As soon as he made a move, Wang Daoyuan immediately judged his strength and his cultivation level in the middle stage of divine transformation.
The strength is not too strong, but it is not too weak either.
It's slightly worse than the Wen Xuanyan of the Wen family, but it's pretty good.
According to the news that the Minglong organization had heard before, Zhenhai Sect only had three god-transformation monks.
They are Lord Broken Star God, Lord Sao Feng, and Lord Golden Sword who escaped from the blood shark.
Now, a monk in the middle stage of divine transformation suddenly appeared, but he has not yet had any reputation.
It seems that Zhenhaizong's tens of thousands of years of wealth are really not in vain.
"Senior, I am ridiculous, if my husband and I had not joined the Zhenhai Sect, we would have only reached the late Nascent Soul stage in this life."
The monk in the middle stage of transformation waved his hand: "You don't have to be so humble, you two are both talented.
From now on, work well under me and I will not treat you badly.
Although you did not grow up in Zhenhaizong, I have never cared about my origin.
If you make great contributions in the future, I will accept you as my registered disciples, or even my direct disciples.
As long as he is my disciple and has enough talent, I will try my best to help him gain the opportunity to break through to become a god.
How successful you can be in the future depends on your abilities."
Wang Daoyuan cursed in his heart: These powerful monks are all masters of painting cakes.
This flatbread is thick and very fragrant.
Not only are there lofty and unrealistic prospects, but there are also tangible benefits.
As long as you work hard, you can at least become a registered disciple of the cultivator.
For ordinary Yuanying monks, this is a huge source of support.
If you are really a casual practitioner, you can swallow such a thick flatbread without drinking chicken soup, and it won't be too dry.
Although he didn't take the cake he drew seriously, Wang Daoyuan still pretended to be grateful.
"Thank you to the seniors for their cultivation. The younger generation will definitely serve the seniors wholeheartedly."
Seeing Wang Daoyuan take the pie, the cultivator of Transformation God nodded with satisfaction: "Jing Tao, arrange management positions for Zhou Xiaoyou and his wife.
In addition, there must be no shortage of resources.
Now is the time to employ people, Zhou Xiaoyou and his wife are both talented people, and no one will say anything about the treatment given to the palace master."
Liu Jingtao nodded: "Don't worry, Master, I'll go down and make arrangements right away."
The four of them bowed to the god-transforming monk and left the cave.
The old man surnamed Li smiled and said: "I still need to take care of the matters on Demon Killing Island, so I won't stay here for a long time."
After he left, Liu Jingtao took out his flying boat and took Wang Daoyuan and Zhou Luan to the north of Xuangui Lake.
"The northern part of Xuangui Lake is the most central place in the sect. The high-level discussions and the affairs handled by the hall masters of each hall are all in that generation.
The two of you need to go through the general affairs hall and the great elder's approval before entering.
But with Master’s recommendation, no one dares not to give me face.”
