"Nine?"

Many of the monks looked surprised, because it didn't match what they knew.

Moreover, everyone basically understands the information about those eight people, and with a little effort, they can dig out a lot of information related to them.

Now Li Wenchang suddenly told everyone that there is a ninth person.

But in the professional association, there is not the slightest trace of clues, as if there has never been such a number one person, isn't this nonsense?

But Li Wenchang did not stop there, but continued to output more exciting news.

"If you don't even know about it, you don't know about another thing related to it."

"Even the eight people who were carefully selected were a choice of last resort under the current situation.

The first core layer, the original founders of the association, really relied on the 'ninth person', who is unknown to most of the association's members today. ”

Hiss~~

No matter how much they believed it in their hearts, when these words came out of Li Wenchang's mouth, all the cultivators couldn't help but gasp in their hearts, and they all looked sideways.

Faced with these eyes with different meanings, Li Wenchang did not give a further explanation.

He directly flipped his palm, and there was an extra token magic weapon in his hand.

The eyes of the cultivators instantly froze.

Some monks couldn't help but turn their heads to look at "Ge Ping".

To be more precise, it is to look at the token artifact in the hand of "Ge Ping".

When only "Ge Ping" took out this object, many people could not see its peculiarity.

After all, there are not 10,000 but 8,000 tokens released by the Professionals Association.

It's not strange that a non-professional person has this thing on him.

But when Li Wenchang also took out a token magic weapon, everyone immediately came to their senses.

In fact, the token weapon in the hands of "Ge Ping" and the token weapon in the hands of Li Wenchang are very similar in addition to the same shape, and the changes in the qi machine are very similar.

Well, it's still a little inappropriate to use similarity, it's exactly the same at all.

As we all know, even if it is the same kind of spiritual material, its spiritual qi cannot be exactly the same, and there are always some differences.

The spiritual qi of these two tokens is exactly the same, which can only mean that they come from the same spiritual material.

While many monks were thinking about this in amazement, Li Wenchang's gaze swept over a few people, and he said softly:

"I think I'm not the only one who has such a token artifact, right?"

After a brief silence, another monk flipped his palm, and an additional token artifact appeared in his palm.

Then, four more people stood up from the crowd one after another, each holding a token artifact in their hands.

They looked at each other as if they were communicating silently.

"So you have that too."

"So there really is."

“……”

Seeing this scene in the eyes of other third-order professionals, there was an indescribable emotional surge in their hearts.

Li Wenchang didn't pay attention to the complicated feelings of some monks next to him, but looked directly at "Ge Ping" and said:

"Ge Daoyou, if what I expected is right, this token magic weapon in your hand is the ninth in the legend, right?"

"If what I expected, those people took such pains in the first place, the purpose was so that one day someone could be recognized by the core high-level of the association with this token artifact, right?"

The other monks, whether they knew about this matter before or those who didn't know about it, also looked back at it at this moment, looking at "Ge Ping" and the "master" beside him, their expressions gradually becoming subtle.

They're ...... Planning to use this artifact to knock on the door of the association?

Or, do you want to use it as a "key" to get something?

It's a pity that they may have expected a lot, but they underestimated the development speed of the Qingxuan Domain cultivation world and the Professionals Association.

That time, this time.

Front, Front, Front...... Ren's favor and tacit understanding, who will really take it to heart?

Led by Li Wenchang, the momentum of the cultivators quietly changed.

Seeing this, Ge Ping smiled lightly.

"It seems that Li Daoyou does know a lot, but there is one thing I have to emphasize in advance, I took out this thing......"

As he spoke, he shook the token artifact in his hand casually.

"I didn't bring it out to get your approval, I just wanted to show that we have a long history with the Professional Association.

As for it......"

As he spoke, he saw "Ge Ping" gently close his hands to the center, and the token magic weapon made of special second-order high-grade spirit gold quickly turned into a metal bead the size of a pea with a smooth and round surface.

Ding Lingdang was scattered all over the place.

"It doesn't matter."

As he spoke, "Ge Ping" raised his hands and showed everyone the palms that had become empty.

Seeing this scene, Li Wenchang, who originally looked much more relaxed, suddenly felt his scalp tingle.

The other monks also had a bad feeling in their hearts.

After re-"mobilizing" everyone's emotions, "Ge Ping" said:

"I think you fellow Daoists must be curious about my purpose in initiating today's gathering?"

"As I said, we don't need to be recognized by everyone through a so-called token."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over everyone in the room, and many monks subconsciously avoided direct contact with his gaze.

"As one of the founders of the association, we know the rules of the association better than any of you here."

"Can Ge Daoyou explain more clearly?" Li Wenchang asked in a deep voice.

"Ge Ping" directly met his gaze and said gently:

"Li Daoyou, I said that the current association has gone astray, what do you think?"

When Li Wenchang heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly:

"Why did Ge Daoyou say this? The development of the association is thriving, and since you became the president of the pharmacist branch, the association has changed with each passing day. ”

Speaking of this, he paused before saying:

"Maybe there is a difference between the current association and when it was first founded, but I don't think this is the result of deviation, this is just an inevitability under the development of the times."

Ge Ping nodded slightly:

"Some changes are indeed as Lai Daoyou said, which is inevitable under the changes of the times."

Saying "Ge Ping", he paused:

"But not all changes are like this, some are actually the product of compromise, which can be seen as a kind of regression compared to the original intention."

At this moment, not only Li Wenchang, but also many monks quietly changed their faces.

The accusation was so obvious that he almost pointed at them by the nose and said, "You are incompetent!" ”

It was Li Wenchang who nodded, and I saw that his expression became more profound, and his tone became more subdued:

"Can Ge Daoyou explain more clearly, what has the current association compromised? And where has there been regression? ”

"Ge Ping" looked directly at Li Wenchang and did not back down:

"Let me say that when the Professionals Association was founded, the purpose was to unite the forces of all professionals.

There is no alchemist, refiner, talisman maker or array mage.

The benefits of this, I don't think, are not understood.

But what I'm seeing now is that the association has actually become nominal and non-existent.

Not to mention that in the eyes of outsiders, he is a member of the association, and if he picks one out, he also thinks that he is a member of a certain branch. ”

As he spoke, his gaze became sharper and sharper, sweeping over the monks in the room.

For the cultivators, it was like being scratched back and forth by a steel brush.

"Tell me, isn't this a step backwards?"

"A whole association that you have dismembered into chapters."

"From you, the president and vice president, to the branch members below, the interests of the branch are basically considered in your heart, who has ever taken the interests of the entire association to heart?"

"It's not bad, but what's even worse is that some people don't hesitate to do things that harm other professions for the benefit of the club."

"Originally, the purpose of the association was to unite the forces of all professionals.

But now, the clubs are in an increasingly fierce competition with each other.

Let the power that should be used by the association be consumed in vain on internal friction. ”

Speaking of this, his gaze has become like a sword, sharp and sharp, making people dare not look directly.

In the end, his gaze stayed on Li Wenchang.

"Li Daoyou, tell me, is this a compromise or a step backwards?"

When many monks heard this, they couldn't help but gasp in their hearts.

Ruthless, this is too ruthless.

Is it a compromise or a step backwards?

It's not a good choice for co-authorship, right?

This is a completely qualitative phenomenon.

What's more, although the words of "Ge Ping" are a little sharper, the meaning is not wrong.

Directly stabbed the lung tube of the association.

No one dared to jump out with a shy face at this time and say:

"It's not a step backwards, it's progress."

After a long silence, Li Wenchang took a deep breath, looked at "Ge Ping", and then looked at the old man beside Ge Ping who was smiling and watching this scene.

He did not answer the question of "Ge Ping" directly, nor did he dwell on these details.

"Ge Daoyou, did you take the initiative to start this party, do you want to correct the deviation?"

"Ge Ping" clapped his hands and said:

Li Daoyou said this well, correcting deviations...... Yes, I'm here to correct the deviation this time. ”

"How is Ge Daoyou going to correct it?"

"Ge Ping" heard the words and immediately said.

"Correction is not the goal, it is the right way to return it.

At present, there are many branches in the association, but the professional association, which represents the association as a whole, has been reduced to an empty form.

The first thing to do is to re-establish a president of the association. ”

"The current association is strong and weak, and if we want the association to go further, what we need to do now is to strengthen the weak branches."

As the words "Ge Ping" came out, the hall was instantly quiet.

Everyone looked at the "Ge Ping" master and apprentice sitting upright in the hall, and their eyes gradually showed a sudden look.

Some people even showed disappointment in their hearts.

After a while, Li Wenchang, who had been looking at the master and apprentice for a long time, took the initiative to ask:

"Does Ge Daoyou want Lingshi to be the president of the association?"

Ge Ping nodded generously: "Yes, that's what I think." ”

Li Wenchang shook his head regretfully and said:

Ge Daoyou thought about it, the reason why the president of the association has been vacant for a long time is very simple.

It's not that everyone is shallow-minded, and they really can't pick out a qualified president who can leave everyone speechless. ”

"In the past, when the overall level of the association was still relatively low, it was not too difficult to choose a president who could convince the public."

"But now it's different from the past, the association is no longer as large as it used to be, and it has become a force second only to Qingxuan Sect in the Qingxuan Domain."

"In such a situation, how easy is it to choose a suitable president?"

Speaking of which, Li Wenchang emphasized:

"The relationship between the position of president is too important, and it is better to have a shortage than an abundance.

We'd rather leave the position of president of the association vacant for a long time than choose a one-size-fits-all arrangement. ”

"What's the point of a person who can't obey the president, whether there is or not?"

"The association has not had a president for many years, but this has not delayed the rapid progress of the association over the years.

This shows that the office of president can be set up or not, and it is not as indispensable as everyone originally thought. ”

As Li Wenchang's words came out in one breath, except for the two masters and apprentices of "Ge Ping" who were sitting upright on the main seat of the hall, everyone else showed joy on their faces.

Some people couldn't help but whisper applause for Li Wenchang's words that were soft on the outside and the inside.

Well done!

……

It wasn't until everyone's emotions subsided that Meng Zhou made "Ge Ping" speak:

"What if my teacher could convince the public?"

Others were secretly applauding Li Wenchang's soft nail-like reply, but what they didn't know was that Meng Zhou himself was also genuinely applauding.

When the others heard the words "Ge Ping", their eyes became strange when they looked at him.

The heart is Dao, Li Ling Zhi is dizzy, this is really true.

To be able to become the "first person to cultivate freely", Ge Ping's mind cannot be bad, but he just asked such a non-level question.

Whether your teacher can convince the public or not, isn't it in our hands to decide?

Although he thought so in his heart, no one dared to show it in his expression.

Li Wenchang replied directly: "If this is the case, of course your teacher can directly be our president." ”

The next thing is very simple, "Ge Ping" only needs to prove that his teacher can convince the public.

At this time, many monks were in a relaxed state of mind.

However, there are also those who think more in their hearts.

Li Wenchang couldn't help but think that Master Ge Ping's cultivation was obviously extremely high, and it was not impossible for him to rely on this point to make a "physical persuasion" to everyone.

However, this is fundamentally contrary to the principles of the Association of Professionals.

Within the professional association, it never focuses on the strength of cultivation, but only focuses on the level of professional standards.

"If they are so unruly, then we don't have to follow any rules, just ask Qingxuanzong for help."

He thought to himself, from the perspective of the Qingxuan Sect, he would never want to see an overly strong and united professional association appear.

Thinking like this in his heart, he suddenly saw that the gaze of "Ge Ping" had fallen on him again at some point.

Moreover, judging by the reactions of the people around him, the other party should have been talking to him just now, but he was too fascinated by thinking about things and ignored them.

He looked over a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, I don't know what Ge Daoyou just said?" ”

"The family teacher heard that Li Daoyou Dan Dao has good attainments, and I want to learn from you."

"Hmm...... Yes?! Li Wenchang nodded subconsciously at first, but then reacted and opened his mouth wide in surprise.
