Chapter 2141: Did everything go as wished?

This subordinate finished answering, then respectfully lowered their head and stood there, saying nothing more.

Although I don't know why Li Hongyan suddenly brought up the matter of Lingtai Dong, this is clearly not something he can decide.

After a moment of silence, Li Hongyan's anger dissipated, and they also stopped looking at He Mo and the others' heads, turning back to the main seat and saying coldly.

"Go tell the beast tribe, this time the Lingtai Dong opening, I intend to divide the quota into three parts, with the Dao One Immortal Sect taking one part."

"This.................."

Upon hearing this, that subordinate was not stupid either, instantly understanding Li Hongyan's meaning.

This is clearly intended to provoke the Dao One Immortal Sect and the beast tribe.

Looking at it now, the beast tribe and the Dao One Immortal Sect probably have some secret connection.

Otherwise, why would the Dao One Immortal Sect have placed its mountain gate in the Wuji Shanmai, while the beast tribe willingly withdrew?

Meanwhile, the people of Wuji Xiancheng merely entered the Wuji Shanmai, without any substantial action, and already provoked the beast tribe's encirclement and slaughter.

To say there's no connection here, even a dog wouldn't believe it.

Li Hongyan is trying to test the waters, and moreover, one-third of the quota is nothing to Wuji Xiancheng.

Even whether this thing can be kept is uncertain; in that case, it would be better to use it as a trap.

Suddenly understanding the twists and turns in their mind, that subordinate immediately nodded and agreed.

"Yes, I will contact the beast tribe from my side."

"Hmm."

Li Hongyan lightly nodded.

The deaths of He Mo and their group made Li Hongyan completely abandon the idea of continuing to enter the Wuji Shanmai.

With such a result, if we continued to send people, it would only increase casualties, meaningless.

However, to let Li Hongyan just let it go and swallow this resentment is absolutely impossible.

Moreover, not only the beast tribe, but Li Hongyan also bears a grudge against the Dao One Immortal Sect.

As for Li Hongyan's plan here, the Dao One Immortal Sect is completely unaware.

Throughout the sect, up and down, they still eat what they should, cultivate what they should, living simple and carefree lives.

However, in cultivation, quite a few disciples still have some complaints.

Although the Dao One Immortal Sect's treatment of its disciples is not bad, basically it has reached parity with the top sects of the Immortal Realm.

Even the most ordinary Outer Door Disciple can receive a considerable amount of elixirs, spirit crystals, talisman seals, and other cultivation resources each month.

However, having only cultivation resources but no cultivation treasure land within the sect is indeed troublesome.

Those artificially built cultivation chambers, frankly speaking, not to mention the immortal realm, even if one reaches the Ancestor Realm or the Emperor Sovereign Realm, their effectiveness is greatly reduced.

So that place is basically deserted, with hardly any disciples visiting.

Only when breaking through would someone go to a quiet place; otherwise, there's no hope for anything else.

Many disciples have proposed, hoping the sect can figure out how to create a few cultivation treasure lands.

After all, to some extent, this cultivation treasure land is also part of the sect's foundation.

A sect without a cultivation treasure land is naturally impossible.

The disciples' complaints, Qi Xiong and the other elders naturally know as well.

Well, after finishing dinner that day, in the backyard of the canteen, Ye Zhangqing was also present, and Qi Xiong said helplessly.

"This sect still has no cultivation treasure land at all; that's definitely not acceptable."

"Hasn't Senior Brother already sent people to inquire about this?"

"I've been paying attention to this for a while, but cultivation treasure lands are important to any faction."

"Unless it's a matter of life and death, urgently needing other supplies, otherwise no one would sell this."

"This basically doesn't circulate on the market."

"Since it's basically impossible to buy now, we can only resort to seizing it."

"Pick some weaker sects to target, but this also poses a problem."

"The Immortal Realm has rules, especially those everyone tacitly accepts."

"But if we openly seize it, we're likely to provoke a joint counterattack from other forces, which would be troublesome."

"After all, without rules, wouldn't the world be chaotic? If anyone could just take what they fancy, today you could seize someone else's, tomorrow maybe you'd end up having your own taken."

"When the lips are gone, the teeth feel the cold—everyone knows this principle."

"So Qi Xiong also does not want to openly break the rules."

"Moreover, the Dao One Immortal Sect is a respectable orthodox sect; how could its conduct be as unscrupulous as that of demonic cultivators?"

"So we still have to go through legitimate channels."

"Everyone discussed the pros and cons together, unanimously agreeing that under the current circumstances, the proper way is to pursue legitimate purchase."

"But the problem is, although everyone wants to buy through legitimate channels, there simply are no sellers."

"Even after using all the information networks of our various devotees, there is still no force in the Immortal Realm selling off cultivation treasure lands."

"Can't buy, can't seize—this has everyone worried sick."

"Why not go to the Xia Jie and bring a few up?"

"At this moment, Hong Zun proposed it, but as soon as he spoke, everyone rejected it."

"How would we do that? Is there a spatial passage?"

"That's even more troublesome; we'd also have to figure out how to create a spatial passage, which is far more precious than an ordinary cultivation treasure land."

"Moreover, what use would a cultivation treasure land from the Xia Jie have in the Immortal Realm? It would be laborious and not worth the effort."

"It's completely a thankless task, so all the fellow martial brothers disagree."

"All we can do for now is pay attention to news on this front and leave it to luck."

In the end there was nothing to be done, but just then, suddenly, the steward beside Qi Xiong rushed in, respectfully addressing those present.

Sect Master, the beast tribe has come.

What does the beast tribe want?

Since the last great battle, although the beast tribe has withdrawn, the Dao One Immortal Sect has had no contact with them.

It was like well water not river water—everyone kept to themselves.

Now the beast tribe has personally sent an envoy; this is the first time.

Qi Xiong didn't know what the beast tribe wanted, but he still agreed to meet, having them first taken to the main hall to wait.

Not long after, Qi Xiong bade farewell to the crowd and then hurried to the main hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, Qi Xiong saw an immortal beast already waiting inside.

Upon seeing Qi Xiong appear, it rose with a calm expression and spoke politely.

Greetings, Sect Master Qi.

No need for pleasantries; what brings you here?

Qi Xiong had no intention of small talk, but went straight to the point; seeing this, the immortal beast nodded and then spoke directly.

This time I have come under the orders of the Beast Ancestor; it concerns the Lingtai Dong.

Lingtai Dong?

Hearing this, Qi Xiong was doubtful; he knew of the Lingtai Dong, having heard something about it when learning of the surrounding situation.

A cultivation treasure land located within the Wuji Shanmai, it is not top-tier, but in the Immortal Realm it is fairly average.

At least for the present Dao One Immortal Sect, cultivation treasure lands like the Lingtai Dong are welcomed in any amount; they turn none away, and the Dao One Immortal Sect does not pick and choose.
