Chapter 513 Inviting People to Join
When Li Jingtian heard Xu Yuexi say this, he immediately put her down and protected her behind him.
A moment later, a slight noise suddenly came from the bamboo forest not far ahead. Then, four figures slowly emerged.
"It's you! You're following us stealthily. What do you want to do?"
When Li Jingtian saw the people coming, his face instantly became solemn. He stared at them with his eyes, and with a flicker of light, a natal sword with a cold glow appeared in his hand. It was obvious that he was ready to meet the enemy at any time.
Xiao Xingchen and his three fellow apprentices ignored Li Jingtian and looked directly at Xu Yuexi behind him.
"Don't misunderstand, Your Excellency. We have no ill intentions. We heard that you were going to establish a sect, so we came here specifically to recommend ourselves." Xiao Xingchen said.
Li Jingtian snorted coldly: "Self-recommendation? Who knows what you are up to? You cultivators always like to say one thing and do another."
Xu Yuexi gently pulled the corner of Li Jingtian's clothes and whispered, "Jingtian, listen to what they say first."
Li Jingtian glanced at Xu Yuexi and nodded, but did not relax his vigilance.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Xingchen hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his fists and bowed respectfully, saying:
"Your Excellency, although none of us four brothers are extremely talented, we all have our own strengths. I am good at formations and can set up multiple defenses for the sect; my fellow disciples are proficient in pharmacology, weapon refining, and beast taming, and will definitely be able to lend a helping hand to Your Excellency."
Xu Yuexi looked at them and then said, "I know the formations, I know pharmacology, but I don't think I can use beast taming on this continent. You don't seem to be of much use to me!"
"Venerable, who says we are not useful? In addition to these, we can also help you manage the sect and educate the disciples.
Your Excellency is selecting disciples from the entire continent. There are so many people that you definitely cannot teach them all. Although our cultivation is a little lower than yours, we are more than enough to teach those beginners. Your Excellency, why don't you accept us?" Song Hui said.
“Yes, Your Excellency. We come from a large sect and are very familiar with the sect’s operations and management. You will not suffer any loss if you accept us.” Zhao Youcai said.
Ha! Interesting! A late Jindan, two mid-Jindan and a late-Jiuji, such cultivators, no matter which continent they are in, can be regarded as strong, but they actually rushed to be her subordinates. If there is no ulterior motive, it would be a strange thing!
Xu Yuexi curled her lips, revealing a graceful and slightly cold smile. Then, she opened her red lips slightly and said in a tone without any warmth: "Tell me, what is your purpose."
Looking at Xu Yuexi's cold and defensive look, Xiao Xingchen gave a bitter smile.
"Your Excellency, to be honest, we do have selfish motives. We want to return to our sect, but it is difficult to do so with our current cultivation level. Therefore, after careful consideration, we dared to come here and try to make a deal with you.
We will handle all the sect affairs for you, and you can concentrate on your cultivation. In return, when you successfully break through to the fusion stage, we kindly ask you to send us back to the continent where our sect is located."
"Oh, you guys are really good at calculating. But for me, this deal is a losing deal no matter how you look at it. If I go wrong, my life will be in danger! Let's not talk about this, just go." Xu Yuexi refused.
Opening up a space-time channel would consume a huge amount of spiritual power and mental energy, which was extremely risky. Asking her to sacrifice herself to send them back to the sect was simply wishful thinking!
"Your Excellency, please don't, everything can be discussed!" Liu Anqing said.
"Yes, Your Excellency, we know that you will have to take a great risk in this matter, so as long as you agree to send us back to Lingyuan Continent, we are willing to agree to any of your conditions." Xiao Xingchen said.
Xu Yuexi pondered for a moment and said, "Oh, are you really willing to agree to any of my conditions?"
"Of course!" Xiao Xingchen and the other three said in unison.
"Okay, in that case, let's talk about our deal again!"
They brought this to us on their own initiative. Wouldn't it be a waste if we don't make good use of it? After all, it's always good to have more helpers.
So Xu Yuexi told Xiao Xingchen and the other three what Liu Yuchang had told her about the demons, and also told them her purpose.
"What do you think? Do you dare to accept my deal?" Xu Yuexi said.
"this......"
Xiao Xingchen and his fellow apprentices were a little hesitant after hearing this, as this was a gamble with their lives!
Last time, just one demon cultivator was already so difficult to deal with. If they have to face a large group of demon cultivators in the future, how would they survive?
"Why, are you scared? I thought you upright monks who always brag about yourselves and claim to be the embodiment of justice were really as great and fearless as you said. I didn't expect you were just cowards." Li Jingtian said sarcastically.
"Hmph, you demon, don't try to provoke us. We are not the cowards. The matter of the demon clan is too dangerous. What's wrong with us considering it?" Liu Anqing said.
Xiao Xingchen frowned, thought for a long time and said: "Your Excellency, it's not that we don't want to, but there are some things that need to be discussed. For example, if we help you succeed, how long will it take for you to send us back to Lingyuan Continent..."
"As long as you sincerely help me, I can provide you with cultivation resources to help you break through. By then, you will have the ability to travel through time and space. Wouldn't that be safer than relying on me?"
"Is your words serious, sir?"
Xiao Xingchen and the other three looked at each other, all with surprise on their faces.
"Of course!"
"Do you dare to swear by your inner demon?" Song Hui said.
"Believe it if you want to, or forget it if you don't want to. You are not qualified to make my wife swear an oath. Besides, even if you don't help, when the time really comes, do you think you can escape?" Li Jing Tiandao said.
"Indeed, rather than calling it a transaction, it is better to call it a cooperative defense war that concerns life and death. I provide you with cultivation resources for free, but in reality, I am the one who suffers the loss.
After all, the Spiritual Spring Water, Barrier Breaking Pill, Golden Pill, and Spiritual Transformation Pill in my hand are all rare and precious things in the world. Even in your Spiritual Source Continent, if you want to obtain any of them, you probably have to fight to the death, right?
But now, I am generously offering them to you. Isn't this enough to prove my sincerity?" Xu Yuexi said.
"Your Excellency, we are too narrow-minded. We will accept this matter and will stand together with you in the future." Xiao Xingchen said.
In the following period of time, Xiao Xingchen, Liu Anqing, Song Hui and Zhao Youcai worked closely with Xu Yuexi's team to prepare for the establishment of the sect. They each showed their strengths and gave full play to their own advantages and talents.
Thanks to the unremitting assistance of these four people, the Tai Chi Sect founded by Xu Yuexi quickly got on the right track and began to operate normally. The internal order of the sect was in good order, the disciples practiced diligently, and the overall atmosphere was harmonious and full of vitality.
