Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

At this moment, all the disciples of the Chibu and the Guanxing Palace felt a sense of trust and admiration for this young hall master dressed in green.

Even those disciples who had the strength to break through to a higher realm but chose to cut themselves off, or those who came from powerful families, did not say a word about it.

If it were them, they would never have done such a thing.

After all, not everyone can be so indifferent to worldly possessions, so detached and free-spirited, and so above the mundane.

The essence of the Five Elements can be used to cultivate techniques, enrich the external attributes of spiritual power within the body, and also to purchase spiritual treasures, thousand-year-old spiritual medicines, one-time-use divine talismans, and many other treasures.

Moreover, they have vassals under their command, and powerful families waiting in the wings.
The essence of the five elements is such a wonderful thing that you can never have too much of it, nor can you ever have enough. So why would you take it out for no reason?

Therefore, the actions of the Green-Clad Hall Master shocked many disciples of the Star Gazing Hall.

They even admired and revered him.

Having such a young leader to guide them is a blessing for everyone!
After all, no one wants to be a moral saint, yet no one doesn't want to build a good relationship with a moral saint.

Because the former requires sacrifice and effort, while the latter truly values ​​their lives!
Deep within Extreme Wind Island, in the inner palace hall.

A figure in cyan robes slowly approached, his gaze sweeping over the nearly one hundred island lords before he spoke:

"Fellow Daoists, please explain why you have invited me here."

It seems that Wan Xinghai's actions have caused too much of a stir, and some people are already getting restless, wanting to reach out and grab a share of the pie.

The powerful island lords of the Crimson Sea lineage gathered again, their eyes flashing with greed as they looked at the young master of the Star Gazing Hall.

"We've heard that Hall Master Luo hired a group of powerful individuals from the Inner Sea specifically to resist the Sea Clan King Beast. Is this true or not?" an island lord asked.

Powerful individuals from the Inner Sea, regardless of whether they were invited by the Heavenly Mystery Hall, must offer something in return when they travel within the territory of the Red Sea Islands.

After all, a goose leaves its mark as it flies by, and a hand leaves its mark on flesh and oil.

They deserve a share in the relief efforts from the inland sea!

Luo Yan walked into the main hall, not looking at the many figures standing on both sides, and said with an unchanged expression, "It is true."

His gaze was fixed straight on, as if he were looking at a group of clowns.

No wonder Li Long only thinks about killing. If he were in that position, he would probably have to use strong measures to cleanse and suppress the entire Five Elements Sect in order to unify it.

Some people, after being arrogant and domineering for so long, really forget their real name and what their surname should be.

No wonder the White-Browed Palace Master compared the current Five Elements Sect to a huge, but decaying old tree.

Wherever there is profit, these guys will be there, reaching out their claws.

“Master Luo, you control a portion of the Heavenly Mystery Hall’s power, and the resources and benefits you can mobilize are far beyond what we can achieve.”

“My Crimson Sea lineage is also part of the Five Elements Sect, and is under the supervision of your Heavenly Mystery Hall. You cannot show favoritism!”

"Could you allocate some of those powerful outsiders to us?"

"After all, since the war with the sea creatures began, the Red Sea has suffered the greatest losses!"

An elderly man in a straw raincoat spoke loudly, his face full of grief and indignation, spouting righteous indignation about the hardships they faced in the Red Sea Islands.

The number of cultivators under his command was extremely high; how much did they sacrifice for this great battle?
So much blood and tears!
"Yeah yeah!"

"In this great war, the number of lives lost by my Red Sea is far more than ten thousand."

"Since Hall Master Luo has the ability to mobilize powerful figures from outside for support, please also consider us. The Red Sea Islands are not easy to defend either!"

Several voices echoed in the hall, all of them looking distressed.

At this moment, their true intentions were fully revealed!

The bounty issued by the Star Gazing Hall in conjunction with many immortal families shocked all the island lords present.

One hundred thousand strands of the essence of the five elements, only one cultivator at the Void Refinement Realm needs to participate in the battle for one month?

If the Red Sea Islands hadn't been right under their noses, and if they hadn't personally witnessed those powerful outsiders being teleported there, everyone would have thought this was some absurd joke that came from somewhere.

The aid of a cultivator at the Refinement Void Realm requires the sacrifice of 100,000 strands of Five Elements Essence. How enormous would the resources be for the tens of thousands of powerful figures from the outside world?
And this is just one month's salary expenditure!
What if this continues for a year, ten years, or decades?
What a terrifying figure that would be!
Are all the Heavenly Secrets Halls this wealthy?

You should know that they have been extorting and embezzling from the sect's divine mines and spiritual herbs for thousands of years in the Crimson Sea area, yet they have never accumulated such a huge amount of Five Elements Essence.

But when the Star Gazing Hall makes a move, it's earth-shattering!
Since they are so wealthy, they should contribute more to this war.

After all, the strong get stronger, and the responsibilities they bear also increase dramatically!

It should be noted that among the twelve major lineages, the Heavenly Mystery Hall is the only one without territorial divisions or restrictions.

So where did this enormous amount of Five Elements essence come from?

Is there nothing fishy going on here?
The people of the Red Sea Islands didn't believe it!
They've been embezzling resources from the Crimson Sea territory for so long, yet they still couldn't gather such a massive amount of resources. So what makes the Star Gazing Palace so special?
Therefore, everyone's idea was simple: the Star Gazing Hall faction had also become greedy, and had become greedy even more than them!
This is the only reasonable explanation!
Since they are embezzling resources and benefits from the sect, why can't they get a share of the pie?

Besides, we are all members of the Five Elements Sect and partners who fight side by side, so we can't favor one over the other, can we?
This is the real reason why the island lord of the Crimson Sea lineage invited the young master of the Star Gazing Hall to come here.

They also want external support, and if possible, they even want to reach into that massive amount of essence of heaven and earth.

They only need to go through the process once to make enough profit to feed and entertain them.

Thinking of this, Zhi Xiu, who was present, could hardly contain his excitement.

"Do I owe you anything?"

Luo Yan's gaze swept across the group, lingering on the island lords who were all excited and putting on a righteous face, before he spoke calmly.

Sure enough, after only a few words, his ugly true colors were revealed.

Luo Yan's words were harsh and grating, almost like a sarcastic remark, causing the smiles of the island lords present to freeze.

Is this a case of wanting to take all the spoils for oneself, disregarding the greater cause of fighting against the sea creatures together with one's fellow disciples?

At this moment, all the island lords of Red Island showed expressions of dissatisfaction.

They really don't know what's good for them!
"you"

One of the island lords, known for his fiery temper, was about to step forward and berate them, but was restrained by his companion. Furthermore, the indifferent gaze of the Taoist in blue instantly revealed that the people of the Heavenly Mystery Hall were no ordinary disciples of the Five Elements Sect.

This is a group of exceptionally talented madmen!

A madman among geniuses!

He holds grudges, is petty, and is very protective of his own!

This is also a consensus among the Five Elements Sect members; no one would provoke such a madman for no reason.

Once targeted, unless he never leaves the Red Sea Islands for the rest of his life, he will inevitably face a frenzied retaliation.

So they need to stay calm!
In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall turned cold, and everyone looked at the Taoist in blue robes in the center with displeasure.

They didn't even give them a chance to communicate or discuss; they completely disregarded them!
In that case
Many of the island lords present gradually turned cold in their eyes. The Heavenly Mystery Palace was very powerful, but their Crimson Sea lineage was not to be underestimated either.

Fortunately, the island lord of Miaocheng Island is an old and powerful figure who has long passed the age of fighting with pride.

Therefore, he instead smiled and smoothed things over, saying:

"Master Luo, please don't be so cold. Perhaps it's because these fellow disciples of the old Taoist are used to speaking bluntly and their words aren't very pleasant to hear. Please bear with them, Master Luo."

"After all, we belong to the same lineage, so it's good for us to visit each other more often."

The older generation of strong individuals, having weathered many storms, wore smiles and radiant smiles, their words becoming much gentler.

It also injected a unique vitality into the otherwise solemn atmosphere.

The saying "You can't hit a smiling face" perfectly describes this kind of person.

But soon, the island lord of Miaocheng Island stroked his white beard, changed the subject, and said meaningfully:

"I believe Hall Master Luo has also seen that today, there are more than 16,300 large islands in our Crimson Sea area, and the number of cultivators is in the hundreds of millions."

"Although they appear numerous, the number of cultivators on my Red Sea Islands is actually decreasing by hundreds of thousands, or even more, every day due to the frequent attacks by the sea races."

"Those who have passed away are the very foundation of my Red Sea Islands, and also part of the Five Elements Sect."

"Until the situation in the war becomes clear, the sacrifices and contributions of my Red Sea lineage will likely continue for a long time."

"In this way, the power of my Crimson Sea lineage may be exhausted at any time."

"This is really tough for me, Akakai."

"I hope Hall Master Luo will consider that the Heavenly Mystery Hall is the pillar of our sect, and that we are brothers from the same lineage, and that we are fighting together against the Sea Clan, so that you can provide us with some external assistance to alleviate some of the pressure on the Sea Clan."

The island master of Miaocheng Island spoke with reason, evidence, and emotion, offering a good account of his grievances.

The story recounts the hardships the Red Sea Islands have faced over the years, highlighting their dedication not only for the Red Sea but also for the Five Elements Sect.

At the same time, they also praised the Heavenly Mystery Hall. Hasn't your lineage always claimed to be the heaven of the Five Elements Sect and the righteous one of the Five Elements Sect?
Now that my Chi Hai is in trouble, are you people from the Tianji Palace just going to stand by and watch?

If word gets out that your Tianji Hall people refused to help their fellow disciples in their time of need, it will damage the reputation of your Tianji Hall.

Luo Yan naturally understood the meaning behind these words; they were both a request and a subtle threat.

As expected of an old fellow skilled in human relationships, he immediately assumed a moral high ground and portrayed the Red Sea lineage as extremely pitiful.

In this situation, if he doesn't help, he's deliberately sabotaging the relationship between the two factions.

Whether facing superiors or subordinates, internally or externally, it will be met with strong criticism!
Thinking of this, Luo Yan's indifferent face revealed a strange smile as he gave the island master of Miaocheng Island a deep look.

To Luo Yan's surprise, it was precisely because of his expression that he seemed somewhat persuaded.

The island lord of Tai'an Island then glanced at her, his old face beaming with a sincere and earnest smile, and continued to play the emotional card, saying:
"Master Luo, do you know that our two lineages are not simply fellow disciples of the Five Elements Sect?"

"In terms of friendship, our two lineages have cooperated for more than 20 years, fighting together against the invasion of the sea tribe. This is a friendship that no other main lineage has ever had."

"In terms of morality, your Heavenly Mystery Hall has been in charge of punishments for many years, and my Red Sea Cultivators have never complained. We have always cooperated with your hall in carrying out punishments. This is the morality of our sect."

"As for our relationship, our ancestors were fellow disciples who emerged from the same era; this is no ordinary relationship."

"Now that we are facing a formidable enemy, with the sea creatures wreaking havoc, our two lineages should join hands and advance together!"

If these words were spoken to any other young cultivator, they would probably be completely bewildered and ready to agree.

From the perspectives of justice, sect relations, and the bond between the two factions, the Heavenly Mystery Hall has no reason not to lend a helping hand.

After all, the individual strength of your Heavenly Mystery Hall is the best among all sects, which is a consensus among everyone.

Even your Heavenly Mystery Hall suffered heavy losses in this great battle, and you're thinking of asking for outside help. Wouldn't the losses of the other main branches be even greater?
"Yes, yes, Master Luo, please help my Red Sea Islands for the sake of our relationship!"

"Otherwise, the people of my Crimson Sea will soon be wiped out by those sea beasts!"

Inside the main hall, a chorus of agreement erupted as dozens of Red Island lords spoke up, each trying to appeal to the other's emotions.

Even if they don't get a share of that massive amount of Five Elements essence, they should still receive some of the support from powerful outsiders.

After all, your Heavenly Mystery Hall is so strong that any one of your people could suppress ten ordinary Five Elements Sect disciples!
Then it would be perfectly normal for my Red Sea Islands to be unable to hold on.

"Fellow Daoists speak very kindly, praising my Star Gazing Hall to a high degree. I am ashamed to admit my inferiority."

"If it were someone else here, they might have become sworn brothers with you all."

"I am not one to forget old friendships. If it were just a normal condition, I would have readily agreed."

"But this matter is of great importance, concerning the lives of more than 30,000 of my fellow disciples. I cannot make a judgment on it in a single sentence."

"So, it seems that the outside world's powerful figures are willing but unable to provide assistance," Luo Yan replied.

Luo Yan glanced at the many island lords present, their indignant expressions making it seem as if his Star Gazing Palace had done something shameful.

Putting aside all external emotions, the focus of this group's argument remains the same:

Why should your Heavenly Mystery Hall have outside help?
Furthermore, is such a large amount of Five Elements Essence truly all your Heavenly Mystery Palace's?
This is a huge joke!
The saying "It's not scarcity that's worrisome, but inequality" applies everywhere! (End of Chapter)
