Chapter 299: The Temptation of Immortality
In Taoyuan City, Zhang Qi received a transmission note from the master, and immediately frowned after reading it, but he still quickly sent someone to call Jiang Cheng.
"City Lord, you called me?"
"Jiang Cheng, how long have you been in Tianlan Sect?"
"Pinch your fingers, it's been almost a year, set off in March, and arrive at the Tianlan Sect Mountain Gate in the middle of the month."
"Do you want to go back to Dawei?"
"City Lord, I'm not a teenager, I'm still homesick."
Jiang Cheng smiled, he really didn't plan to return to Great Wei yet, he hadn't made a name for himself in Xianmen, and besides, the cultivation environment here was indeed much stronger than Great Wei, and Great Wei couldn't get any elixir.
"It's good if you don't want to go home, here's a piece of news you need to know, the head is looking for personnel sent to Dawei to guard the town, and someone has elected you"
"I remember asking the dean of the Immortal Pavilion to take office in May and June last year, Divine Soul Realm"
"Yes, it's going to be re-searched, what do you think?"
"The lord of the city doesn't want me to go"
Jiang Cheng's mind turned, and he immediately understood something, it seems that the Tianlan Sect is going to increase the pressure on the Great Wei, maybe the conscience of the Asking Heart Tower last year was not a simple illusion, the Tianlan Sect already had this kind of thought.
"I'm optimistic about you, so I don't want you to go"
"I understand that this time I went to Dawei to offend people and offend the people of the entire Dawei, and the sect wanted to increase the pressure on Dawei"
"You don't have to say it so clearly"
"It's just you and me here, I believe that the city lord won't talk nonsense, and people with a discerning eye can see at a glance that Tianlan Sect was defeated in White Horse Mountain, and if you want to recuperate, you need resources, and now Dawei is the best resource provider."
Jiang Cheng said, this time when he goes back, he definitely wants to be a sinner, there are people in the sect who want to mess with him, it seems that he has indeed offended many people after he became famous, and he began to give him a look.
"If you know it in your heart, I will help you reject the sect, you can rest assured"
"Thank you city lord, please also help to find out, how many resources the sect wants, the situation of Great Wei The city lord may not know, in order to raise tribute to the sect, Great Wei has to die at least a thousand people every year, if the amount of tribute increases, the number of people who want to die will be doubled, or even a hundred times.
You and I are both immortal cultivators, although mortals are like ants in our eyes, but they are still living people, just like us, they have to wear clothes, eat, and talk, but their abilities are different from us, and we should have a sense of reverence for life in our hearts."
Jiang Cheng said, he is powerless to stop this matter, if he says, he doesn't want to pay a single cent of tribute, but that is impossible, if it is just a little more, Dawei can bear it, but if it is too much, then Jiang Cheng will be forced to stand in line.
"You are right, we should indeed be in awe of life, but some people don't think so, I will help you find out, you don't have to be too careful, work hard to practice, practice to the depths, with strong power, you can do what you want to do"
"Jiang Cheng understands"
Jiang Cheng replied, the truth is within the range of the cannon, and this principle is also applicable in the immortal cultivation world, fairness is on the powerful sword edge, his strength is strong, it is easy to say anything.
·······
At the mountain gate of Tianlan Sect, Li Changsheng, who was practicing, was summoned to the cave mansion of the head of the sect by a transmission note.
"Disciple Li Changsheng has seen the master"
"Immortality doesn't have to be polite"
"Yes, Master"
"Changsheng, how many years have you been initiating?"
"Back to the master, it's been sixty-five years since the disciple started"
Li Changsheng said that he has been getting started for more than sixty years, and his talent is actually very good, but he only cultivated immortals when he was middle-aged, and he started later than others, plus there was no one to support him, so he broke through the cave so late.
"Sixty-five years, that's very good, if you had started earlier, then you would have been a disciple of your own lineage."
"Boss..."
"You also know that in order to be a disciple of the family, there must be three conditions, the first is that the talent is good enough, the second is that you are loyal enough to the sect, and the third is that someone recommends you.
Your talent is good, you can go to Dongxuan for more than sixty years, and there is no one to support you, this already says it all, but the other two conditions"
"Head, Changsheng is loyal to the sect, and heaven and earth can learn from it"
"I understand that I came to you this time to tell you that I am optimistic about you and want you to be selected for the family biography"
"Ah, thank you, boss"
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me first, I can be your recommender, but others will definitely gossip, you still need to do one thing to prove your loyalty to the sect"
"Please show me the way"
"Go back to Da Wei, take the position of the dean of the Immortal Pavilion, and urge Da Wei to complete the annual tribute, ten years, ten years later, I will ensure that you will be passed on"
The head said to Li Changsheng, his move can be described as extremely vicious, Li Changsheng is the royal family of the Great Wei, let him go back and ask the dean of the Immortal Pavilion, and then the resentment of the entire Great Wei will be on Li Changsheng's body.
"Boss, is there something wrong with Da Wei?"
"Da Wei has a Li Hongsleeve, do you know?"
"I know, that's the disciple's junior"
"In the first two years of Great Wei, a lot of loose cultivation poured in, and the ban on exercises has been lifted, Li Hongsleeve missed the question back then, and he has always been obsessed with this, and he has two ambitions for the sect, so you have to investigate this matter when you go back, if she really wants to fight against the sect, you will kill her"
"Boss, I..."
"Changsheng, it's not easy for you to practice, you have to know what kind of opportunity this is, You named Changsheng, isn't it for Changsheng, compared with Changsheng, what is the rest, if you don't want to take on this task, then I didn't say it"
The head said slowly, giving Li Changsheng enough opportunity to think.
Li Changsheng was already middle-aged when he entered the Immortal Gate, and Da Xuan also became an official back then, and his thinking was mature, and as soon as the head of the sect said this, he knew that Tianlan Sect was going to attack Da Wei.
But he was still moved, when the Great Xuan perished, he followed the Great Wei Taizu to guard the border pass, after the incident, the Li family took refuge in Xianmen for the first time, and he also returned to Tianjing City for the first time to check.
The result of Wei Jian Zhenjun's sword shocked all of them, and even after more than sixty years, he felt terrified of that scene back then.
However, in addition to being afraid, he was also extremely hungry for power, so he entered the immortal gate, and after entering the immortal gate, the desire for power turned into a desire for immortality.
Mortals will die, and immortal cultivators will also die, but immortal cultivators have the opportunity to live forever, and for the sake of immortality, too many people can abandon everything, including him Li Changsheng, so he quickly changed his name, which can be regarded as a change of name and words.
However, in the days of Xianmen, Li Changsheng was not good, he was the first batch of people from the Great Wei to come to Xianmen, he had no backing at all, and he didn't know anything about cultivation, just like a native bun from the countryside entering the city, his proud identity was nothing here.
He has suffered a lot, he has been bullied, he has been pitted, he has been looked down upon, he has no resources for his cultivation, he has carried out bad tasks, in short, he has suffered everything that will happen to people with no background.
But he didn't give up, he climbed forward step by step, improving his cultivation little by little, until today, he is already a real person in Dongxuan, and he finally has a bit of status.
However, what is this status, there is a true monarch above the cave Xuan, there is great power above the true monarch, and there is a Tianzun above the great power, even if it is a Tianzun, he does not dare to call immortality.
At his level, he also knows how important resources are, without resources, your cultivation is slower than others, no matter how good your talent is, it is useless.
In the Tianlan Sect, in order to obtain higher resources, he must have a more important identity, such as the personal inheritance, and when he arrives at the personal inheritance, he may have priority to enjoy everything in the Tianlan Sect.
"Master, the disciple is willing to go to Dawei"
After a turn of thought, Li Changsheng had already made a decision, compared to Changsheng, what is the family, what is the Great Wei, back then, he had already sold the Great Wei once, and now that it has become a reality, he can also sell it a second time.
And Li Changsheng knows that no one can stop the things that the sect decides, anyway, he can't, the cave Xuanshao of the Tianlan Sect said hundreds, if he doesn't go, the sect can turn his head and find a second person, Dawei also has to suffer, rather than letting others take advantage of it in vain, it is better for him to take advantage of this advantage.
"Okay, I see the loyalty of Changsheng, you go back and wait, next month, you will leave for Dawei, and someone will go with you then."
When the head saw Li Changsheng agree, he immediately laughed, it was not in vain that he wasted his words, otherwise he would have to find another person.
Li Changsheng left quickly, and after a while, two more people walked in, one of them was Chen Teng, the head of the Chen family, and his concubine Chen Shiyue.
"Boss"
"Chen Teng is here, sit down"
"Thank you, boss"
Chen Teng arched his hand, saluted to the master, and then sat in front of the master.
"Chen Teng, you have heard about the sect's affairs about the Abandoned Land?"
"I heard"
"This time, I decided to let Li Changsheng go to the Forsaken Land, but I still need someone to supervise, and I decided to let Chen Shiyue go to this person."
"Shiyue may not be able to take on this great responsibility"
"I can't say that, I watched this kid grow up, and I know his temperament and ability, which is enough to take on this great responsibility."
"Father, the child is willing to go to Dawei"
Chen Shiyue said at this time that the sect wanted to increase the exploitation of Great Wei, he knew it, and he already knew about the situation of Great Wei from Chen Shifeng and others, and he was also very curious about Great Wei.
Especially Chen Shifeng, this time he brought back so many stunning women, he is also very greedy, he is a concubine, even if the family marries him, the woman will not be the kind with a good background, and there is a high probability that she will also be a concubine, so why not take advantage of the fact that there is no marriage yet, and go to have a good time?
"Sewol has this ambition, it's good"
The head smiled and said, why did he look for Chen Shiyue, just to bury a nail for the Chen family, there are too many outstanding children of the Chen family's generation, Chen Shifeng and Chen Qingxia brothers and sisters are very good, and Chen Shiyue is also very good, in the cultivation of the next generation, the Chen family has surpassed other families.
Now that there is this opportunity, it happens that Chen Shiyue is a concubine again, so Chen Shiyue will be promoted, so ten years later, someone will enter the family from the matter of Dawei, and it will be Chen Shiyue, not Li Changsheng, who can count in one fell swoop.
