Chapter 319: Deceiving the Nine Serenities Sect is the Tradition of the Wen Dao Sect

"This Heavenly Court Sect is not famous, but its foundation is so rich?" The Fifth Elder gasped. He had never heard of a Heavenly Court Sect.

Seeing that the Fifth Elder was bluffed, Lu Yang continued: "In addition to the above foundation, the Heavenly Court Sect will have an expansion in the near future. There are already two candidates. One is a natural immortal body. The Nine-Layer Immortal, the first one to become an immortal in the ancient era, was able to prove the Dao and become an immortal because of the natural immortal body."

"The other enjoys the luck of the whole clan, has monstrous luck, and practices both barbarian and Confucianism!"

"Fifth Elder, how about it? Do you want to join us?"

"Originally, our Heavenly Court Sect planned to need a long time to grow, so that we could occupy the limelight in the battle of the world. Unfortunately, the hateful Nine Serenities Sect stared at us. We need a protector to help us deal with the Nine Serenities Sect!"

Lu Yang cupped his hands and said solemnly: "If the Fifth Elder is willing to help our Heavenly Court Sect this time, our Heavenly Court Sect will definitely have a great reward in the future!"

The Fifth Elder was silent for a moment. Just when Lu Yang thought the Fifth Elder was going to agree, he heard him ask slowly:

"Did your Heavenly Court Sect register and file with the imperial court?"

Lu Yang was stunned: "Register and file?"

"Yes, the Great Xia Law stipulates that the establishment of any force needs to be filed and registered with the local government office. Those who are not filed and registered belong to illegal operations and are targets of severe crackdown."

"The previous four great demonic sects, and the current three great demonic sects, have not been filed and registered."

Lu Yang: "..."

Seeing Lu Yang and the others silent, the Fifth Elder laughed: "Okay, okay, just say whatever you have, don't do these imaginary things. What is going on?"

As the famous Nine Sons of the Wen Dao Sect, the Fifth Elder naturally would not be bluffed by Lu Yang.

What ancient immortal inheritance, great family support, isn't it just you guys?

The Decayed Sect was destroyed, and Lu Yang obtained the inheritance of the Decayed Immortal.

Meng Meng Jingzhou is the eldest son of the Meng family, and the money he spends is considered support from a great family.

Li Li Haoran's previous life, Qin Li Haoran, was a half-step Tribulation Transcendence stage.

Qin Yanyan's father is Qin Li Haoran, so she is naturally the first successor.

Lu Yang was helpless and had to tell the story honestly, which made the Fifth Elder marvel and his eyes shine.

"You guys have the ability to fabricate a non-existent Heavenly Court, deceive the Nine Serenities Sect, and thereby reach cooperation. If you are lucky, you can also find the Yaoyang Sect and the Wuqing Sect."

The Fifth Elder showed a look of memory: "Thinking back to nine hundred years ago, we nine people also did something similar to you."

"What's going on?" Lu Yang and the four looked at the Fifth Elder curiously.

The Fifth Elder picked up a stone and refined it into a table and chair, letting Lu Yang and the four sit down.

The table and chairs looked thin, but after being refined by the Fifth Elder, a grandmaster of weapon refining, they were strong enough to withstand several attacks from the Golden Core stage.

"It was about nine hundred years ago. The Eighth Junior Brother pretended to be a low-level cultivator and went out to do chivalrous things. He accidentally discovered the trace of a Nine Serenities Sect disciple. He didn't make it public, but followed his nature, and lived with the Nine Serenities Sect disciple, whoring and gambling day and night. Most of them were paid for by the Eighth Junior Brother. This kind of behavior soon won the trust of that Nine Serenities Sect disciple."

The Eighth Elder, Lu Yang and Meng Meng Jingzhou didn't have much contact with him, but they were deeply impressed.

After all, the Eighth Elder dared to sell the entrance exam questions of the sect twenty years ago to Meng Meng Jingzhou, and swore that it was definitely the real exam questions.

"And then?"

"The Nine Serenities Sect disciple asked, everyone is at the Nascent Soul stage, where did the Eighth Junior Brother get so many spirit stones? The Eighth Junior Brother said, they discovered a pill formula for longevity. Although it didn't improve significantly, it was enough to make those cultivators whose lifespan was about to run out go crazy."

"The Eighth Junior Brother also said that this was the inside information of their organization. If it weren't for playing well with you, I wouldn't tell you."

"However, the output of the longevity pill formula was too low to meet the demand, and a large amount of spirit stones were needed to buy raw materials to expand production."

"The Eighth Junior Brother said that their organization is short of money now. Can you borrow some money? It's not borrowed for nothing. After one year, the principal will be returned, plus 20% interest."

"The Nine Serenities Sect disciple was moved, but still suspicious. At first, he only invested tens of thousands of spirit stones. One year later, the Eighth Junior Brother returned the principal as scheduled, plus 20% interest."

"The Nine Serenities Sect disciple tried it for three years, and it was the same every year."

"Later, this matter was discovered by the superior of the Nine Serenities Sect disciple. The superior of the disciple also wanted to invest and asked the Eighth Junior Brother if it was okay. The Eighth Junior Brother said he needed to ask his superior, and then brought out Old Nine, which is your master."

"Your master said that investment is possible. Later, the superior of the disciple invested for five years, and the assets doubled. He was overjoyed."

"There is no wall that doesn't leak in the world. This matter was finally known by the Sect Master of the Nine Serenities Sect. The Sect Master didn't tell others, but cautiously proposed to visit the alchemy process. Old Eight and Old Nine called us over, let us forge the alchemy scene, and the eldest brother pretended to be a user of the pill."

"After the Sect Master visited, he felt that the nine of us were quite reliable, so he invested his spirit stones first and earned a lot of money."

"Although he earned a lot of money, the Sect Master felt it was not enough, so he set his sights on the treasury of the Nine Serenities Sect, used the treasury to invest, and when he obtained the income after one year, the spirit stones of the treasury were all returned, and the interest belonged to him. Isn't it perfect?"

"The Sect Master misappropriated a part of the treasury and earned more money. He was still not satisfied, so he simply used most of the treasury for investment."

"Then we ran away with the money."

"Don't tell anyone about this, even your ancestor doesn't know about this." The Fifth Elder reminded.

Qin Yanyan was puzzled: "The spirit stones you returned to the Nine Serenities Sect were not from the Wen Dao Sect, right? How could the ancestor not know?"

The Fifth Elder shook his head: "It doesn't need the money of the Wen Dao Sect at all. In the whole process, only the Eighth Junior Brother used his own spirit stones when he first deceived the disciple."

Qin Yanyan was even more puzzled.

The Fifth Elder was very patient with this grand-apprentice: "Think about it, when we returned the profit, were there other Nine Serenities Sect disciples coming to invest in us?"

Qin Yanyan nodded.

"Then we just return the spirit stones invested by others to the previous batch of people, right?"

Qin Yanyan suddenly realized.

"Wait, isn't this fraud?"

"I also asked the Eighth Junior Brother this question. The Eighth Junior Brother said how can this be called fraud? We just failed in operation, and the invested funds went down the drain. It is normal for business to make money or lose money."

"If you feel guilty, you can go to the imperial court to sue us. We are upright and not afraid of shadows."

"And if you want to say there is a crime, the Nine Serenities Sect Sect Master misappropriating property is called a crime."

Qin Yanyan: "..."

Lu Yang noticed that Li Li Haoran's expression on the side was indescribably strange: "What's wrong?"

Li Li Haoran looked at his master with a tangled face: "The disciple who was deceived was anxious and soon died of anger, and then Qin Li Haoran took over the position of Sect Master and found that the Nine Serenities Sect had a big problem with finance."

"The Sect Master before the previous one didn't know who deceived him until he died."

Worked overtime late, the second update is around eleven o'clock.
