Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

"This is the tea leaves from the Deep Sea Miaosheng Tree that I found in Hailuoyuan City a few days ago. I know that the Third Elder likes to taste tea, so I present this as a gift. I hope the Third Elder will accept it."

"After all, Wang Sheng is a member of the Beast Taming Sect."

As Wang Sheng spoke, a look of respect appeared on his face. He bent slightly, lowered his brows, held the wooden box in both hands and handed it to the third elder.

The wooden box is red all over, antique and filled with spiritual energy. The material looks very extraordinary. Through the spiritual energy, one can see tiny dots, like green mist, emanating from the wooden box.

As soon as you take a sip, you can immediately smell an indescribable refreshing fragrance coming from your nose.

The Third Elder paused and slowly turned around, looking at the respectful Wang Sheng. After hearing his words, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, but it softened a lot. He did not take the wooden box, but narrowed his eyes slightly and asked calmly:
"It must have taken a lot of effort to get such a treasure from Hailuoyuan City. It must have been very difficult. This thing is precious, so why give it to me? Isn't it better to keep it for yourself?"

"The tea leaves from the Deep Sea Wonderful Life Tree are rare, and they only sprout once every hundred years. The tea leaves can not only calm the mind and soul, increase cultivation, nourish the soul, and stimulate physical vitality, but also help people clarify their minds and increase their understanding. This thing is very valuable, and it would be too expensive and wasteful to give it to an old man like me."

The third elder said calmly, his eyes glancing at the wooden box seemingly unintentionally, a trace of ripples flashing in his eyes.

This disturbance naturally did not escape Wang Sheng, who had been silently observing the Third Elder. Wang Sheng kept a smile on his face and said with a respectful tone, chuckling:

"This is nothing precious. After all, I am also a member of the Beast Taming Sect. The Third Elder has worked hard for the Beast Taming Sect over the years. The younger generations have seen it and are naturally distressed. I heard that the Third Elder likes to drink tea the most. This is just a small token of my appreciation. It is just right for me to give him a rest during his free time on Shanchang Island. This can be regarded as making the most of it."

The Third Elder's eyes dimmed slightly when he heard this. He looked at Wang Sheng deeply. After a moment, his tone softened. He did not reach out to take the wooden box. He just put his hands behind his back and said calmly:
"You are thoughtful. Tell me, why did you come here this time?"

Wang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the Third Elder did not accept the tea leaves directly, he simply placed them on the stone table beside him, clasped his fists and said respectfully, "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the Third Elder. The elder came all the time. In addition to wanting to reminisce with the Third Elder, he also had some small matters to attend to."

"Small things?"

Hearing this, the Third Elder raised his eyes, glanced at Wang Sheng with amusement, and said lightly with a hint of joking in his tone:
"Is it really just a small matter? Although I haven't paid much attention to the island's affairs in recent years, I am not completely ignorant of everything. The matter concerning you, the Seventh Saint Son, has been widely circulated recently."

Hearing this, Wang Sheng's face was slightly embarrassed and gloomy, but on the surface he remained calm. He nodded slightly and said, "These are just some crazy rumors from the outside world. They can't be taken seriously. Please don't take it to heart, Third Elder."

"Haha," the Third Elder laughed and shook his head. "What exactly is it? I won't broadcast it live anymore. You know it well in your heart. As you said, you are still half a disciple of my Beast Taming Sect. You still have to be sensible when doing things. Don't be too aggressive, otherwise you will end up in a dilemma."

The Third Elder's tone was full of meaning. He looked at Wang Sheng like an elder looking at a younger person, and his intention to admonish him was obvious:

"You should know clearly what you have done. As you are the seventh holy son of Sea Beast Sky Island, I naturally chose to turn a blind eye to these things."

"But I still say that, don't go too far. After all, the Heavenly Dao is not a place where you can do whatever you want. If you want to suppress some disciples who offend you, we won't stop you. After all, it is inevitable to fight with others in cultivation. However, the premise of all this is to put the overall interests of the Sea Beast Island first. This time, the incident on the Spirit Mine Island will not be allowed to happen again."

The third elder, Wang Donghai, spoke calmly. Although his tone did not reveal any emotion, a hint of threat was revealed in his words.

"Yes, this junior understands."

Wang Sheng immediately bowed his head respectfully and praised him. His eyes turned and he moved closer and whispered:

"However, Third Elder, don't you think it's inappropriate for an outer sect disciple to hold such an important position on a spiritual mining island like Sea Beast Sky Island?"

"Perfect is also very curious about the origins of this so-called Yu Changsheng."

Wang Donghai's expression was still as calm as ever. While watering his flowers and plants, he said calmly:
"What do you mean by outer sect and inner sect? He is now also the deacon elder of the island under my Sea Beast Sky Island, and he has also proved with his strength that he can take on this position. Isn't that enough?"

"I know you are resentful of him, but it is impossible for me to drive him out of the Sea Beast Island directly. Especially now, I am not the only one who is paying attention to him."

Wang Sheng smiled bitterly when he heard this. When he mentioned Yu Changsheng, a hint of ferocity and resentment flashed across his eyes, but he remained calm and clasped his fists slightly:
"I am just curious about this man. As a genius now, I am afraid that sooner or later he will not be willing to be a deacon elder of the outer sect."

"I'm afraid if we find an opportunity and let it continue to develop like this, it will return to Shanghai Beast Island one day and be on equal footing with us."

Wang Donghai turned his head, staring at Wang Sheng with a gaze as sharp as a torch. His eyes were so deep that they seemed to be able to see through people's thoughts. He opened his mouth slightly and spoke calmly:
"what do you want to say?"

Wang Sheng bowed his head and clasped his fists, his tone still respectful:
"What I think is the same as the Third Elder. I just have some conflicts with Yu Changsheng. I know that the Third Elder doesn't like Yu Changsheng either. He is afraid that Yu Changsheng will take the opportunity to rise and threaten Xu Chengbo, which will add some obstacles to Xu Chengbo's fight for the Son of God. The draw between Yu Changsheng and I is irreconcilable. In this case, why doesn't the Third Elder use this knife from me to eliminate future troubles..."

Wang Sheng spoke slowly and his tone was deep but his expression was sincere and genuine.

At this point, he was too lazy to beat around the bush with Wang Donghai and just went straight to the point. After all, he knew in his heart that he and Wang Donghai should be a united front and there was no direct conflict.

And some of his little thoughts could not be hidden from Wang Donghai. After all, an old fox is an old fox.

The Xu Chengbo he was talking about was the third holy son of the Sea Beast Island, who was very powerful. Wang Donghai was also one of Xu Chengbo's open supporters, and they had a close relationship.

The reason is very simple. Xu Chengbo's mother and Wang Donghai are from the same family, and there is a certain blood relationship between the two.

Therefore, Wang Donghai naturally prefers the third saint son Xu Chengbo. As Wang Sheng said, the reason why Wang Donghai sent Yu Changsheng away was to be on the safe side, fearing that one day Yu Changsheng would threaten Xu Chengbo.

But now it seems that his original idea was not wrong. Yu Changsheng's performance can indeed pose a certain threat.

Therefore, upon hearing Wang Sheng's straightforward words, Wang Donghai's expression froze for a moment, but he was not angry. He just looked at Wang Sheng deeply and pondered for a while:
"You're quite interesting. You have a grudge against Yu Changsheng, but you still want to drag me into it. Why, do you really think I should get involved in your affairs?"

Wang Donghai laughed. Wang Sheng remained gentle, just nodded slightly, bowed to Wang Donghai, and said:

"Third Elder, you are joking. I was just talking about myself. I am willing to be a knife and let you command me."

Wang Donghai was silent for a long time, then he exhaled gently, thought for a while, took out a jade tube from his arms, threw it to Wang Sheng, shook his head and said:
"Inside this is all the information about Yu Changsheng, including how he came to the Sea Beast Island and why. Take it and have a look. There may be something you need in it."

"Thank you, Third Elder."

Wang Sheng's brows lit up with joy, he nodded and took the jade tube.

"Well," Wang Donghai turned around and didn't look at Wang Sheng any more. He just lowered his head and fiddled with the flowers and plants he planted. His voice came out in a vague tone:
"I still say the same thing. Seize the opportunity yourself. This happened on the Phosphate Mine Island. Some people are paying attention to it. Yu Changsheng has also come into the eyes of some people because of it, although it's not a big deal now."

"But if there is another opportunity like this, perhaps your deliberate plan will become a stepping stone for him to rise to the top. So either don't do anything, or do it thoroughly. Don't expose your weaknesses, and don't build momentum for others. You must know that your position as the Seventh Holy Son is not stable."

Wang Sheng was silent, nodded, and replied in a low voice: "I know in my heart that this time, it was just an accident. There were many concerns that made me lose to Yu Changsheng once. This time it won't happen again."

"It's good for you to know."

Wang Donghai didn't say much, but just sighed quietly in his heart.

In fact, there were some conflicts between Wang Sheng and Yu Changsheng, and he didn't want to get involved. He thought it would be best to let Yu Changsheng remain unknown. It was a pity that sometimes things didn't go as planned, and the more you wanted peace, the harder it was to achieve it.

He was not expecting the conflict between Wang Sheng and Yu Changsheng to break out, and what he did not expect was that Wang Sheng was ultimately defeated by Yu Changsheng, so that although Yu Changsheng is not famous now, it is also contrary to his original idea.

He deliberately exiled Yu Changsheng. Wasn't it because he was afraid that Yu Changsheng would become famous, so he would be noticed by some opponents on the Sea Beast Island and recruited to become one of Xu Chengbo's rivals, adding pressure...

It can only be said that Wang Sheng's matter was unexpected. Wang Donghai was naturally unhappy with Wang Sheng's actions, but since things have come to this, and seeing that Yu Changsheng is on the rise, it is better to go along with Wang Sheng and do things more decisively, and nip it in the bud before he can fully emerge.

Thus eliminating the trouble forever.

"Thank you, Third Elder. In that case, I will take my leave first. Third Elder, take care of yourself. I will not disturb you any more."

Looking at Wang Donghai's back, Wang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. After saying this with a fist, he glanced at the wooden box on the stone table beside him and left quietly.

Since you are asking for help, you have to have the right attitude.

"It's just a pity for my Deep Sea Wonderful Tea..."

Wang Sheng sighed quietly in his heart, feeling a little pain, but he didn't show it on his face.

Wang Donghai naturally did not stop Wang Sheng from leaving. He nodded silently and no longer paid attention to him. Instead, he continued to fiddle with the spiritual plants as if nothing had happened.

"Although this is unfashionable, there is nothing we can do about it. Sometimes, life won't let you get what you want..."

Wang Donghai's eyes were dim as he thought about these things. He lowered his head to look at a spiritual lotus in full bloom in front of him. Suddenly, he smiled gently, and suddenly grasped the blooming spiritual lotus with his palm and squeezed it hard.

Click...

In an instant, the spiritual lotus turned into powder and drifted away with the wind.

Wang Donghai clapped his hands gently, his expression calm.

"After all, it is just an ornamental flower. Just enjoy it. That is your greatest value. If you are too stunning, you will easily break it."

Wang Donghai murmured in a low voice:
"Besides, Wang Sheng is a sensible person. With his help, some things can be done more conveniently. Other than that, it has nothing to do with me. Let's just see what Wang Sheng can do."

"Or maybe, this Yu Changsheng, can he resist it? If you can resist it, then you are extraordinary..."

Wang Donghai thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head, suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, looked at the stone table in the pavilion beside him, and his eyes fell on the wooden box that Wang Sheng had placed on the stone table. He gently picked it up and slowly opened the box.

In the wooden box, there were some tea leaves padded with spiritual silk nylon. When the box was opened, a refreshing fragrance immediately hit the nose. The fragrance was strong and lingered for a long time. One whiff of it made people feel relaxed and happy, and all tiredness disappeared, making them feel refreshed.

Even more spiritual energy is naturally attracted to it and lingers around.

The tea leaves were dark red in color, as thin as a cicada's wing, and shaped like tiny five-pointed stars. They were crystal clear and extremely exotic. Obviously, they were not ordinary tea leaves. However, there were not many of them, only about eighty leaves.

"Deep Sea Wonderful Tea..."

Wang Donghai pondered for a moment, gently picked up a piece of tea leaf, sniffed it lightly, and an involuntary smile appeared on his face.

"It's a good thing. I can give it to Bo'er. In this case, why not give Wang Sheng a chance?"

Wang Donghai laughed and put the wooden box away with a wave of his sleeve. (End of this chapter)
