Chapter 129: Internal Strife (Part II)
Everyone suddenly heard the scolding of the four elders, and they all hurried back to the boat, and then rowed back some distance.
The conflict of this scale is already quite serious, originally there were not many children surnamed Yao in the 'Water Curtain Cave', and all the children surnamed Yao added up to more than 1,500 people, including 500 children surnamed Yao of the 'Ninth Layer of Body Refining'.
Therefore, in this situation, the four elders must also sit in their own fiefdoms, so as not to spread the conflict to their fiefdoms.
Everyone looked back at the four elders with some uneasiness. Even Zhu Xiaobao was very surprised, this was the first time he had seen so many monks fighting together.
At this moment, the Great Elder, the Second Elder, and the Third Elder had already arrived. The cause of the conflict was because when they were digging the spirit stone at the bottom of the lake, they both felt that the other party had crossed the line, so this caused arguments and mutual abuse, which eventually led to an armed conflict......
"Stop it!" The Great Elder had arrived, and immediately stopped the conflict between the two sides.
At the same time, the second elder and the third elder also pushed the boat down the river and found their subordinates. But the two sides are still facing off against each other.
"Humph! Second junior sister, third junior sister, don't go too far! Repeatedly challenged my patience......," the Grand Elder said with a gloomy face.
"Hey! Senior sister, this time it was your people who did it first? If you want to go too far, I'm afraid your disciples are too domineering, right? Besides, this area was originally mine, and it was your disciples who repeatedly crossed the border to exploit it, and they could act recklessly because of the large number of people? The second elder immediately stood up and responded.
"Humph! Third Senior Sister, your people are all very idle, and they all came to the Second Senior Sister? The Great Elder stared at the Third Elder and asked.
"Huh! Senior sister, my second senior sister and I have always shared joys and sorrows, advancing and retreating together, otherwise there would have been no scum left to be eaten by you, right? The three elders also responded softly and firmly.
The Great Elder looked at the Second Elder and the Third Elder as monolithic, and they couldn't break each of them at all, and he was also very helpless in his heart. There is even some anxiety.
The strength of the two of them together surpassed their own, so the Great Elder always wanted to win over the Fourth Elder to join his camp. It's a pity that the four elders have always stayed out of the matter, and made it very clear that they will not help anyone, only stay in their own fiefdom and do not participate in any disputes.
"Huh! Fourth junior sister, I didn't expect you to be also alarmed? I'm really embarrassed! Why haven't you seen Nightwings come to me for alchemy recently? Rest assured, I'm here for you at all times for free! "The Great Elder knew that he could no longer communicate with the Second Elder and the Third Elder. As soon as he turned his face, he said to the four elders with a pleasant face.
"Oh! Thank you, Senior Sister, the recent refining of 'Nightwings' is all some low-end pills, and the 'Fire Crystal' in your hand can handle it. If necessary, I will bring her to disturb Senior Sister's ......" The Fourth Elder said with a calm expression.
"Oops! Fourth Senior Sister, I heard that you have added another cook there? The craftsmanship is very good, and we will try your delicious food when we have time? The second elder also immediately greeted the fourth elder with a smile on his face.
Now the big guys are all attaching great importance to the reversal of the four elders, so they are also trying their best to win them over. Even if it doesn't work out, as long as the four elders remain neutral, that's good.
In fact, the most contradictory thing now is that the second elder and the third elder have a chance to destroy the power of the great elder when they join forces, but it is definitely a lose-lose situation. At that time, I am afraid that the four elders will still benefit. And they are also very jealous of the Great Elder's hidden strength.
It turned out that within the realm of the 'Water Curtain Cave', in the fief of each elder, there was another group of mortals who were scattered cultivators or 'Nine Layers of Body Refining', and the number of these people even exceeded the number of children surnamed Yao in the fief.
The reason is that these people can not only enhance the strength of the elders, but also solve the needs of the 'double cultivation' of these medicinal female cultivators in the 'Water Curtain Cave'. And these casual cultivators can fully enjoy the cultivation resources here, after all, they are all excellent places for cultivation in the fiefdoms of the super-large 'Spirit Gathering Array'. It can be said that this is a mutually beneficial existence.
Just like the Yuan evil spirit back then, he was also stationed in the 'Water Curtain Cave' for more than ten years, how could he not fulfill people's wishes. Yuan Fang, who has always been optimistic, failed to advance twice in a row, and left a very serious hidden disease, and finally had to be driven out of the 'Water Curtain Cave'
When the four elders heard the elder's words, they were immediately shocked, the news of the other party was so fast! But there was still a very plain look on his face: "Second Senior Sister is falsely praised, she is just a cook who has just advanced to the 'Initial Realm', which is far worse than those chefs in your fiefdom!" ”
"Hehehehehe! It's okay, it's okay, if the fourth senior sister is still not satisfied, I can also let my cook here come over, and everyone can learn from each other! The Third Elder also hurriedly smiled with a spring breeze on his face.
"Huh! Thank you very much! I think that's the end of today's matter, they are all children surnamed Yao, there is no need to be so nervous! I'll take my leave if I still have something to do! The four elders smiled slightly, saluted the three senior sisters and said.
Seeing that the four elders were still neutral as always, the Great Elder, the Second Elder, and the Third Elder did not retain any more, but took advantage of this step to withdraw their own disciples. Today's business is over.
Fortunately, although there were a large number of participants, none of them really showed their weapons, which was also specially ordered by the elders beforehand, in fact, no one wants to really fight to the death now......
With an in-depth understanding of the situation inside the 'Water Curtain Cave', Zhu Xiaobao was also a little puzzled, why didn't the outsiders here from the Four Elders and the people from the 'Nine Layers of Body Refining' see it very much......
"Oh! Because the conditions here are relatively poor, and there are many fewer casual cultivators from outside. And they're all in the outer house. We live in the inner house, so you don't usually see them, and I don't have many people here, less than two hundred. I don't want other senior sisters, most of the outsiders in their fiefs slightly exceed the number of children surnamed Yao in their respective fiefs. This ratio is the most reasonable...... "The Fourth Elder patiently explained.
"Got it, it's the best of both worlds! It not only solves the problem of the fairies' double cultivation, but also increases the strength of the fiefdom and the manpower to do the work......" Zhu Xiaobao nodded and said. Here, double cultivation has become a very necessary form of cultivation. It's easy to understand!
But this time the conflict brought unexpected surprises to Zhu Xiaobao. Just when the Great Elder rushed to settle the dispute. The 'Fire Golden Bee' finally found an opportunity and flew within the range of the Fire in the Center of the Earth.
Although it is very unaccustomed to the high temperature here, it can still hold up. And as soon as it appeared, the 'Ugly Dryad' also appeared. Both of them have known each other for tens of thousands of years, and they are very happy and excited to see each other.
Knowing Zhu Xiaobao's current cultivation, the 'Ugly Tree Spirit' is very cautious, so that Zhu Xiaobao should not rush to save himself first, it can still hold on for a long time. And it is not the best time for Zhu Xiaobao to take action now......
Zhu Xiaobao listened to the report of the 'Fire Golden Bee', and immediately felt surprised and happy, it seems that the 'Ugly Tree Spirit' is in good condition, and he can always think about Zhu Xiaobao. This made Zhu Xiaobao's heart warm......
During the day, in addition to cooking and cooking, Zhu Xiaobao also meditates and cultivates. In the evening, he entered the 'Stone of Years', and the time of this night was almost eight or nine days in the outside world. Therefore, Zhu Xiaobao's cultivation time has increased considerably now.
In between, there is another detail. That's the situation about the current head of the 'Water Curtain Cave'. The four elders have always avoided talking about it, that is, 'Nightwings' quietly revealed something.
It is said that the current head of the 'Water Curtain Cave' has been in retreat for 60 years. That's why it's the current three-legged situation.
Because of this, the four elders also became more and more convinced that the head of the sect was likely to have failed to advance, or had already sat down!
Because since ancient times, no one in the 'Water Curtain Cave' has been able to break through to the 'Divine Martial Realm', at most, it is the Great Perfection of the 'True Martial Realm'.
But this time the infighting also allowed Zhu Xiaobao to see the strength of the four elders. The four elders' side is indeed too weak, and even his cultivation is too weak, so he is only at the beginning of the 'True Martial Realm'. Although it is enough to accumulate. But there is always a lack of a suitable opportunity!
And the second elder and the third elder are all in the middle of the 'True Martial Realm'. The Great Elder, on the other hand, has advanced to the latter stage in ten years. Therefore, the Great Elder has been preparing to take the position of head since ten years ago!
It is not difficult to help the four elders to improve one step, and Zhu Xiaobao has enough pills here. But now he still needs to see the sincerity of the four elders enough!
Since his identity has been confirmed, Zhu Xiaobao can go out and walk around at will, which seems normal, but it is very abnormal if he does not show up all the time!
Coming to a small peak in the back mountain, there are many medicinal herbs here. It can be said to be a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and unique scenery. And there's not much of it! Zhu Xiaobao still likes this beautiful environment with mountains, trees, and water under the mountain......
But at this time, the 'Fire Golden Bee' suddenly fell on Zhu Xiaobao's shoulder, and after a short exchange, Zhu Xiaobao was a little stunned. I quickly took out my binoculars and took a look.
Sure enough, the two of them are in a fiery double cultivation in the bushes, you don't need to look closely, you can see the small body, it is Qian Mao! As for the one below him, Zhu Xiaobao didn't know it, but he knew that it must be a female cultivator! And like Qian Mao, she is a female cultivator of the 'Transcendent Realm'.
"! No wonder this guy is reluctant to enter the 'Stone of Age' to cultivate, dare he have a better choice? Zhu Xiaobao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
With Qian Mao's obscene appearance, the speed is fast, and the time period can still find the 'double monk'?
At this moment, Qian Mao was already over, and then Qian Mao's move suddenly made Zhu Xiaobao suddenly realize......
