Chapter 168: The Three Major Forces of the Green Immortal Sect
"Brother Li, if it's just about assigning tasks, wouldn't it be enough to just find a senior uncle at the Jindan realm to do it? There's no need to ask Patriarch Xuanyang to come forward."
Xu Changshou thought about it and said this.
"No!"
Li Daotu smiled and said, "Ancestor Xuanyang must have his own reasons for meeting with the new Foundation Establishment talent."
"First of all, being received by Patriarch Xuanyang is an encouragement to cultivators who have just established their foundation."
"Secondly, in order to prevent traitors or spies from appearing among the new Foundation Establishment students, Patriarch Xuanyang must go through it himself to prevent infiltration."
"Finally, Patriarch Xuanyang personally met with the new Foundation Establishment cultivators and didn't allow anyone in the Core Formation stage to interfere. This was to balance the power of the Core Formation cultivators under his command and prevent a single Core Formation cultivator from dominating the field. If a Core Formation cultivator were to step in and assign all the talented individuals to his/her ranks, it would cause dissatisfaction among the other Core Formation cultivators, leading to conflict."
After hearing what Li Daitu said, Xu Changshou was secretly surprised. He never thought that Patriarch Xuanyang had so many tricks to meet with cultivators who had just established their foundation.
"Brother Li, is there anything I should be careful about when I'm received by Patriarch Xuanyang?"
"Nothing, Patriarch Xuanyang is very easygoing, just answer whatever he asks."
"Ok!"
"By the way, Senior Brother Li, is there anything I should pay attention to after building my foundation?"
Xu Changshou asked this question that he was most concerned about.
Li Daotu thought for a moment, then reminded: "After building the foundation, all the fake magic tools you used to have must be replaced with magic tools. When replacing magic tools, be restrained and consider your own abilities. Don't over-borrow."
"A cultivator's strength is based on actual strength. As a newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator, even if you possess the best magical instruments, your combat effectiveness is limited. Therefore, no matter what, you must be careful when purchasing magical instruments."
"Senior Brother Li is right. I will pay attention to this issue." Xu Changshou bowed slightly.
Li Daotu continued, "There is one more thing, and that is to find a backer. Foundation Establishment cultivators are different from Qi Refining cultivators. Any Foundation Establishment cultivator must rely on a Golden Core Master."
"Oh? Why?"
"It's very simple."
Li Daotu said, "A Foundation Establishment cultivator is already a mid-level member of the sect. Even if you don't rely on others, there will always be people trying to win you over. And for a new Foundation Establishment cultivator, it's very necessary to find a powerful Jindan cultivator as a backer. It's nice to be under a big tree and enjoy the shade."
"understood!"
Xu Changshou nodded.
In the Green Immortal Sect, Patriarch Xuan Yang is aloof from the world. Under him, there must be several more powerful Jindan masters. No matter who succeeds in building the foundation, he must find a Jindan master to support him.
The powerful Jindan also needs many subordinates to maintain his power. The two complement each other.
Since all the new foundation-building cultivators need to find a backer, Xu Changshou also decided to find a backer. Now that he is a foundation-building cultivator, it is not shameful to take refuge under the command of a powerful Jindan cultivator.
If you do the opposite, it will not be good.
Everyone has a backer, but he has no backer, so anyone can bully him.
Since he had entered the Green Immortal Sect, he had to follow the sect's rules. Xu Changshou just urinated in a big river and went with the flow.
With this in mind, Xu Changshou asked, "Brother Li, who do you think is a suitable person for me to rely on?"
Li Daotu smiled bitterly: "Junior Brother Xu, we Foundation Establishment disciples don't have the room for choice. Who we follow is not decided by us, but depends on which Jindan master chooses you."
"That's it."
Xu Changshou felt a little bitter when he heard this.
I feel that although I have become a foundation-building cultivator, I have more restrictions in all aspects than a menial disciple.
The job of a menial disciple is simply to work harder, and after completing the assigned tasks, he can do whatever he wants and no one will bother him.
But think about it, becoming a foundation-building cultivator means you've already entered the sight of the sect's higher-ups. The more attention you receive, the more restrictions you'll naturally face.
"Senior Brother Li, please introduce me to our sect's Jindan uncle." Xu Changshou suddenly spoke.
Before, he was a menial disciple, and the Golden Core Masters had nothing to do with him. Now that he has become a foundation-building cultivator, sooner or later he will have to join the ranks of a Golden Core Master, so it is necessary for him to first understand the Golden Core Masters of the sect.
Li Daotu thought for a moment and said, "We have a total of fifteen Golden Core masters in our Green Immortal Sect. I won't introduce them one by one, but will mainly talk about three people. All the power in the sect is centered around these three people."
Xu Changshou became interested: "Which three people?"
Li Daitu: "Ancestor Xuanyang sat down. There are four major disciples in total, namely: the eldest disciple Li Tong, the second disciple Ye Danchen, the third disciple Leng Mei, and the fourth disciple Huang Tianlang."
"Fourth disciple Huang Tianlang's cultivation is at the Foundation Establishment stage, and he hasn't formed a pill yet. He has no power of his own in the sect."
"Therefore, the three major forces of the Green Immortal Sect are centered around Li Tong, Ye Danchen, and Leng Mei."
"Uncle Li Tong, who came from Danxia Peak earlier, now sits in charge of Taiyi Peak. He is a veteran Jindan master in the sect. Regardless of strength or influence, he is the strongest among the three."
"It's him!"
Xu Changshou was surprised.
He had heard of Li Tong, who was Li Linhao's grandfather. Li Linhao's initiation ceremony was held in Li Tong's dojo, and Xu Changshou had also visited his dojo.
"Uncle Ye Danchen, who is in charge of Danxia Peak, is slightly inferior in strength, but he is also a veteran Jindan master with a strong foundation."
"Master Lengmei Leng is a newly promoted Jindan rookie. Although her strength is not good, she is extremely talented and is deeply favored by the Xuanyang Patriarch. Compared with the previous two masters, Master Leng has more potential and a brighter future. Moreover, she is very close to Master Huang Tianlang."
"So, if you can join any of these three, it would be a good choice."
Finally, Li Daotu concluded.
Xu Changshou thought about it and felt that his poor spiritual roots would most likely not be favored by these Jindan masters, and the chance of him joining them was very small.
Just like when he was assigned tasks, because of his poor spiritual roots, he was assigned to the Green Ink Peak, which had the worst environment.
From Wang Yuanwai's cowherd to a handyman at Green Ink Peak, Xu Changshou had come a long way. Due to his weak spiritual roots, he had been looked down upon by many people, so he did not expect to find a thigh that was too strong.
People who are often marginalized have become accustomed to it imperceptibly.
"Senior Brother Li, excuse me for asking, who are you relying on?" Xu Changshou asked curiously.
"I?"
Li Daotu was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Back then, when I first established my foundation, I joined Lu Feng, Uncle Lu. Uncle Lu is an alchemist from the Danxia Sect. His strength is not ranked among the top Jindan cultivators, and I was not taken seriously by Uncle Lu. After Ling'er came, I was poached by Uncle Leng Leng with Leng Mei. Now I am Uncle Leng's subordinate."
Can you still poach people?
