Chapter 2146: then translation of title

Watching the Shī xiōng who had made the top 100 list, they happily headed to the Canteen to attend the banquet, to eat and drink heartily; those disciples who failed to make the list felt regret.

Especially those disciples who missed by a hair's breadth, they were filled with regret.

Had they known Ye Zhangqing still had a farewell banquet, they would have wanted to cry but had no tears.

If they could have foreseen the future, they would have fought for this spot no matter what back then.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now; it's already decided and cannot be changed.

However, at that moment, a disciple quietly said something.

You said there's a farewell banquet; after the Lingtai Dong ends, will there also be a victory feast?

Huh???

Upon hearing this, the many disciples who were already feeling down felt even more nauseated, as if they had swallowed a fly.

Their already unpleasant mood, like adding oil to fire, instantly drew countless gazes onto that disciple.

Faced with the gazes of the many Shī xiōng, the disciple looked around bewilderedly and muttered.

What's wrong?

Don't bring up the sore spot; you're already feeling down, why are you bringing up a victory feast here?

You're the one who talks too much.

A Shī xiōng beside him immediately slapped him on the back of the head in annoyance.

Can't you see the occasion? You don't understand the situation? Just blurting out.

Having been slapped out of the blue, the disciple realized he had misspoken and quickly shut his mouth.

That night, the Dao One Immortal Sect was extremely quiet; many disciples stayed in their Dong Fu, closing their eyes to cultivate.

Since there was no banquet, they could only cultivate; out of sight, out of mind.

Meanwhile, the Canteen was brightly lit; the disciples on the top 100 list ate with great enjoyment, their mouths full of oil.

As expected, Ye Zhangqing had indeed prepared a lavish banquet for tonight.

Moreover, several dishes were the kind of big, hearty dishes Ye Zhangqing usually couldn't be bothered to make.

That really opened the disciples' eyes; even before this Lingtai Dong expedition began, they already felt they had struck it rich.

After the banquet, the disciples were satisfied, each patting their bellies as they left.

Even before setting out, morale had already peaked.

The hundred disciples had secretly sworn in their hearts that no matter what, they would seize this Lingtai Dong back and bring it into the Sect's possession.

To become an exclusive cultivation treasure ground for their Dao One Immortal Sect.

Indeed, the next day, the hundred disciples on the list spontaneously gathered together to discuss how to seize the Lingtai Dong.

Given the nature of those people from Wuji Xiancheng, they probably won't hand over the Lingtai Dong willingly.

What 'probably'? It's certain.

The best outcome I can estimate is that both sides would share it, just like before, except instead of the beast tribe, it would be our Dao One Immortal Sect.

Share? Wuji Xiancheng isn't worthy of that.

Exactly.

The Shī xiōng first confirmed a premise: that the Lingtai Dong absolutely cannot be shared with others and must belong exclusively to their Dao One Immortal Sect.

What then needs to be discussed is how to completely seize the Lingtai Dong.

First and foremost is actual control.

The Lingtai Dong, as a naturally formed cultivation treasure ground, after refinement by the predecessors' great powers, can now be artificially controlled to open and close.

The token of control is in the hands of Wuji Xiancheng and the beast tribe.

However, the token held by the beast tribe is already in the hands of our Dao One Immortal Sect; all that remains is Wuji Xiancheng's token.

I say, just seize it from them and be done; why go through all this trouble?

You're foolish; that token normally doesn't enter the treasure ground together—you just need to activate it from outside.

Unless you directly charge into Wuji Xiancheng to seize it, there's no chance.

That's right.

I recall that the control formation inside the Lingtai Dong has two formation eyes, so there are two tokens, each controlling one eye.

Isn't that just stating the obvious?

If we could control the two formation eyes at the root, wouldn't it be irrelevant whether we have the tokens or not?

Huh???

One of them spoke up; upon hearing this, all the Shī xiōng present had their eyes light up—this method.............. is feasible.

Before, everyone had been fixated on those two tokens, but now, hearing this, the Shī xiōng's horizons instantly broadened.

Whether or not we have the tokens is actually irrelevant at its core.

The tokens are what control the two formation eyes inside the Lingtai Dong.

If that's the case, then by directly addressing the root, wouldn't we be solving the token issue at its root?

As long as we control those two formation eyes, the token in Wuji Xiancheng's hand becomes useless—just scrap iron.

The idea is becoming ever clearer; while controlling the formation eyes isn't easy for us, it's not impossible, and there's more than one way.

Finally, after some deliberation, everyone settled on three feasible plans.

We're still missing some treasures; before we set out, we need to gather them as soon as possible.

Don't worry; I'll send a message home right now—I recall our family's treasury still has a piece of Startling Thunder Wood.

My family also has Heaven-fallen Gold.

And I.................

The Immortal Clan Descendants all spoke up in turn.

They all come from extraordinary backgrounds; their family treasuries contain many treasures; gathering the needed items is not difficult.

Soon, the needed treasures were gathered, and all the senior brothers nodded in satisfaction.

This time, the Lingtai Dong will surely change hands; their Dao One Immortal Sect doesn't even have a single Xiūliàn treasure land of its own.

If it weren't for the fact that Xiūliàn treasure lands are indeed precious, someone would have wanted their family to simply cede one over.

Maybe they could even exchange it for a few meals.

Unfortunately, that's just a thought; if they actually said that to the elders in the family, they'd probably get beaten to death.

But they can't think about their own Xiūliàn treasure land; however, others are fine.

Moreover, this Lingtai Dong is practically a Xiūliàn treasure land delivered to their mouths; they shouldn't let it go to waste.

Thinking this, the senior brothers are full of confidence; everything is ready now, they just await the opening of the Lingtai Dong.

At the same time, Qi Xiong, Lin Potian, Qin Shan Hai, Ye Zhangqing and the other Sect Elders gathered together to discuss the Lingtai Dong.

Everyone's idea coincided with that of the disciples; they also wanted to monopolize the entire Lingtai Dong.

After all, this Xiūliàn treasure land they've obtained is only halfway there, which is truly unpleasant.

It's like eating a meal; having only eaten half, seeing the remaining half-bowl of rice, only to have to give it to someone else—who could bear that?

So, regarding this Lingtai Dong, Qi Xiong still has ideas; he just doesn't know how to go about it now.

"Negotiate with Wuji Xiancheng? If they open their lion's mouth wide and seize the chance to cut us down, what then? Would we have to give in then?"

"Then we'd just be suckers."

Inside the hall, a sound of myriad discontent arose.
