Chapter 128: Discussion

Elder Hu's hand emitted a blue light, lifted her and said, "Sit down, sit down. Whatever about respect or not, you should respect your senior uncle."

Starting from the Grandmaster, we are a direct bloodline within the sect; as senior sister I protect the junior brothers and sisters below, which is only natural.

You, on the other hand, are too distant from us.

"I am a recorded disciple, I must not overstep," Jiang Yu knew that the sect leader and Elder Hu and Elder Lin share the same master.

And their master also bowed to the same master as my own master.

"Your senior uncle treats you as a direct disciple.

If I may say, the rules of the Dongxuan Thunder Fire Technique are quite problematic.

Worldly cultivation methods aren't only about having the strongest thunder power; why should disciples be delayed repeatedly to redo the method and postpone forming a core?" Elder Hu sincerely thought this was unreasonable.

That elder who, by means of the Thunder Fire Technique, turned into a mutated Thunder Spirit Root might actually be a Hidden Spirit Root.

It is likely that they, with a Hidden Thunder Spirit Root, practice the Thunder Fire method, rather than becoming a Thunder Spirit Root because of this technique.

"Elder, I see the rule states that cultivating even a trace of Thunder Spirit power counts as success.

In the past, several sect members cultivated Thunder power, but they never formed a core, so their deeds were not passed down.

After all, for a spirit root to mutate, a particularly unusual opportunity is required.

And I, this time, was fortunate to obtain several Thunder Mother Stones." Having her spirit root elevated with Jiang Tu's help, Jiang Yu felt that any strange event in the cultivation world would not be surprising.

Elder Hu examined her carefully for a moment and found she held no resentment about becoming a direct disciple due to the cultivation method.

He then nodded, "Arranging a formation with Thunder Mother Stones to practice the Thunder Fire Technique not only refines the body but also helps you comprehend some thunder‑based spells.

However, if you're not in a hurry to use them, try to gather more; once you collect forty‑nine, you can set up the Thunder Fire Formation, which further aids comprehension of this technique."

She finished speaking when Jiang Yu brushed the storage bracelet, and with a swoosh, seventy to eighty stones of varying sizes instantly fell onto the ground.

When Jiang Yu's golden spiritual energy struck the stones, the electric arcs instantly formed cocoons, and she couldn't help but grasp…

"All are Thunder Mother Stones! Jiang Yu, you're incredibly capable!

Does Senior Uncle Sui Lv Zhenjun know you have found this treasure?" Elder Hu began to check them one by one.

"I haven't told the sect leader yet." Jiang Yu hadn't thought of it at all; if Elder Hu hadn't mentioned the formation, she would have only recalled the Thunder Mother Stones after formally entering a seclusion.

And Sui Lv Zhenjun has not taken disciples for years; he is still adjusting how to communicate with Jiang Yu.

Especially lately, he has devoted most of his energy to the Tai Chi Fish Cards, making him even less inclined to involve himself in every matter.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have bluntly ordered Jiang Yu to enter seclusion.

At this moment, Sui Lv Zhenjun welcomed the two guests to Taixu Hall, and Fu Ju Zhenjun was also present.

Only Sect Leader Lin Quan was absent.

Xue Qi Zhenjun was muttering to himself, "With over a hundred Tai Chi Fish Cards, how many will the Taixu Sect allocate to its own?" Then Sui Lv Zhenjun spoke:

"Fellow Daoists, the number of Fish Cards obtained this time is unexpectedly large.

Moreover, we just received news that several disciples have discovered Fish Cards, and Lin Quan is personally leading a team to respond."

In reality that's impossible; Sect Leader Lin Quan is currently drinking tea in a nearby cultivation city and will return to the sect the day after tomorrow.

But Xue Qi Zhenjun and the Grand Elder of the Bai Lian Sect didn't know, and both asked in unison, "Approximately how many?"

Sui Lv Zhenjun couldn't be too precise, "It's unclear at the moment, perhaps a dozen or so.

And they were found in the mortal realm's Bichun River."

The Grand Elder of the Bai Lian Sect first added a reasonable explanation: "Could it be that the Great Luo Cave Heaven once roamed the mortal world of our Tianyuan Continent?"

Our main focus is on the cultivation world, so we can't, like the Dongzhou Continent, obtain many Tai Chi Fish Cards.

"It's hard to say, but recent information indicates that many years ago the Yunwu Immortal Sect on Dongzhou Continent suffered calamity, and several groups indeed fled to Tianyuan with large supplies," Sui Lv Zhenjun reiterated an old narrative.

Xue Qi Zhenjun wasn't concerned with that, "Sui Lv, with so many Fish Cards, should we unite all sects?"

Sui Lv Zhenjun did not answer immediately; instead, Fu Ju Zhenjun spoke, "Brother Xue, do you think we can withstand the criticism of the entire cultivation world.

Or withstand the Demon Sect stirring trouble between us and other Daoist sects, causing serious conflicts?"

"This…" Unable to hold back, Xue Qi Zhenjun could not speak plainly, "Are you planning to invite each sect to participate in an auction?"

Fu Ju Zhenjun smiled, "Why make it so complicated? In the name of the Tai Chi Fish Cards, we will send messages to each sect to the Tiannan Mountain Range to discuss allocation methods.

Those Dongzhou cultivators often enter the caves, so we need more and more of our people."

"Including the Demon Sect?" The Grand Elder of the Bai Lian Sect didn't oppose; there would be a quota for them, but on what grounds should the Demon Sect also get a share? Can't they find it within their own territory?

Sui Lv Zhenjun and his junior sister Fu Ju exchanged a glance, "Whether to allow the Demon Sect or not, we'll discuss it again at Tiannan.

What I'm thinking now is that after other sects join, it shouldn't be only our three southwestern sects bleeding; other sects also need to pool and hand over the Fish Cards."

The Grand Elder of the Bai Lian Sect said, "As for the Profound Heaven Sect, they have already recognized two masters.

The Demon Sect disciples you mentioned have probably also recognized a master before."

"The Profound Heaven Sect is fine; they have a sect and a treasure for self‑protection.

But if rogue cultivators get hold of the Fish Cards, some of them don't realize that after changing owners the Tai Chi Fish Cards become invalid, leading them to inadvertently cause self‑destruction," Xue Qi Zhenjun, whose granddaughter was constantly nearby, harbored deep resentment toward the Profound Heaven Sect's occasional good fortune.

Sui Lv Zhenjun said, "Rogue cultivators are not under our jurisdiction.

And the sect, perhaps during allocation, should remove their double quota.

After all, once their disciples find something, they immediately claim a master themselves, rather than being selected by us."

The Grand Elder of the Bai Lian Sect supported this, hoping to see the Profound Heaven Sect become a laughingstock; ideally all four major sects would find Fish Cards. "Makes sense; I believe the other three major sects would also agree to such a rule."

"Brother Xue, what do you think?"

"Fine, we'll co‑sign," Xue Qi Zhenjun, who hasn't yet received any news from his own sect's disciples, even a half‑card of Tai Chi Fish Card.

Once the few agreed, they immediately sent a co‑signed message to sects of all sizes; shortly thereafter, they received replies ranging from skeptical to excited.

But Sui Lv Zhenjun could no longer attend to each reply; after handing it to his junior sister to handle, he quickly went to a secret place in the back mountains.

When he saw Jiang Yu and Ling Zhang between, sitting amid a pile of Thunder Mother Stones flipping through a formation manual, he couldn't help but curl his lips and ask, "Did you find the Thunder Fire Formation?"

"Master!" Jiang Yu sprang up, "We found several, but we're not sure which fits best."

Sui Lv took her book, flipping page after page with a swish-swish-swish sound: "This set."

"Good, we'll use it, Elder Hu, take a look." She lifted the book and showed it to Elder Hu who had jumped out of the stone pile.

"Master Uncle's pick is indeed excellent, but we need to choose a rainy day to set up the formation." Elder Hu didn't fully agree; she went to the Scripture Tower and fetched these books, hoping to select the best from the best.

Jiang Yu said, "Elder, please help pick a few more; I need to discuss something with my Master."

When the two master and disciple moved to another room, Jiang Yu drew the hiltless spirit sword.

Sui Lv Zhenjun was urging her: "Have you decided to forge the sword's hilt and scabbard?"
