I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 313: Putting on airs

"Master Xia, please come in." Tong Li walked forward with a smile and bowed slightly.

She is now a Jindan elder, and it is not convenient for her to address Xia Daoming as a peer in front of so many people.

"I'm sorry to have kept Elder Tong and all of you fellow brothers and sisters waiting for a long time. Is everyone here?" Xia Daoming smiled and bowed in return, asking casually.

"Everyone is here." Tong Li replied.

"Since everyone is here, let's set off right away. It won't be too late to come to your house and talk to you when Da Xuanhai comes back." Xia Daoming said.

"Okay." Tong Li nodded without hesitation.

This was her first mission since she had reached Dan stage, and she was leading a team to the Great Xuan Sea. She couldn't help but feel expectant and excited, like an eagle about to spread its wings and fly high.

Since Tong Li nodded, a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building soon released a shuttle-shaped flying boat.

Everyone boarded the flying boat.

The flying boat broke through the air and flew away.

The flying boat was flying in the air, and Tong Li waved to the female cultivator who was in the early stage of foundation building.

The nun came forward quickly.

"Master Xia, this is Zhu Xinxin, my direct disciple whom I accepted a few days ago. Xinxin, Master Xia and I are friends for life and death, and we are as close as siblings. Due to the rules of the sect, although you are peers now, you should respect him as an elder in your heart and not be impolite." Tong Li said solemnly.

"Disciple greets Master Xia Feng." Upon hearing this, Zhu Xinxin hurriedly bowed respectfully.

Xiao Xuan did not show much surprise when he saw this, but the two female monks both looked a little shocked.

In their opinion, the strength and status of the Jindan elders and the disciples who have completed the foundation building stage are one level apart.

Even if Xia Daoming is a true disciple, as long as he does not achieve the Golden Elixir, he is still half a level away from the status of a Golden Elixir Elder, and can at most be on par with a Fake Elixir Protector.

But now it seems that Tong Li actually treats Xia Daoming as an equal.

Even in terms of the degree of respect, even Xiao Xuan, the only son of the Lord of the Law Enforcement Hall of Qingyuan Sect, seems to be much inferior.

"Well, you are a good candidate. It just so happens that I have some Shenglong Pills on hand, but I don't need them myself, so I will give you one as a gift." After Xia Daoming heard Tong Li's introduction and saw that Zhu Xinxin's behavior was sincere, he took out a bottle of elixir from his storage ring and handed it to Zhu Xinxin.

Shenglong Pill is an elixir made with young dragon fish as the main ingredient.

It can greatly enhance the true essence and magical power of the foundation-building cultivators.

Back then, Mo Yongzhi and others entered the Dragon Fish Sea in order to catch and kill young dragon fish and refine the Shenglong Pill.

This pill is very expensive, costing thirty to fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones for one pill.

Xia Daoming captured and killed many dragon fish monsters in the Dragon Fish Sea, so he accumulated a large amount of Shenglong Pills.

Giving one away casually is just a drop of water to him.

However, for ordinary foundation-building cultivators, they have to work hard for many years, or even take great risks, to earn enough spirit stones to buy one.

Yan Ding, who was in the early stage of foundation building at that time, was the direct disciple of the head master Yue Huang. He lost 150,000 spirit stones in the competition and could only take out 70,000 spirit stones and wrote an IOU for 80,000 spirit stones.

Now Xia Daoming casually gave a Shenglong Pill worth thirty to fifty thousand spirit stones. It is conceivable that for Zhu Xinxin, who had just become Tong Li's disciple not long ago, this was definitely a huge sum of money that she had never dared to imagine beforehand.

So, when Zhu Xinxin looked at the Shenglong Pill that Xia Daoming casually handed over, her heart was pounding, she was surprised and happy, and she was even a little afraid to take it, but looked at Tong Li.

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you thank Master Xia Feng?" Tong Li said with a smile.

"Xinxin thanks Master Xia Feng for the generous gift!" Zhu Xinxin bowed again.

"We are all family." Xia Daoming smiled and waved his hand.

Zhu Xinxin bowed again, then retreated respectfully and stood at the stern of the boat with the other two female monks.

The two of them looked envious.

"Junior brother, your starting point is too high. I won't be able to afford to pay you courtesy in the future!" Seeing Zhu Xinxin retreat to the stern of the boat, Tong Li whispered to Xia Daoming.

"Senior Sister, you are now a Jindan elder after all. Do you have the nerve to say this?" Xia Daoming curled his lips.

"I'm really embarrassed to say this to others, but there's nothing to be embarrassed about saying this to a great man like you." Tong Li chuckled.

"Xiao Xuan, look at this. Senior Sister Tong is preparing to be a Pi Xiu, only taking in and not giving out!" Upon hearing this, Xia Daoming turned to Xiao Xuan beside him and said.

Xiao Xuan is tall and handsome, with an elegant temperament, but at this moment he could only laugh foolishly.

When Tong Li heard Xia Daoming asking a lonely question, she couldn't help but laugh so hard that her body shook.

Seeing this, Xia Daoming could only shake his head helplessly. A few days later.

The flying boat arrived at the port of Wanghai City in Nanpu Prefecture.

A huge ship was already docked at the port, with a flag embroidered with the word "Chai" hanging on it.

Tong Li signaled to fold up the flying boat, and then led everyone to fly onto the giant ship.

As soon as everyone landed on the deck, someone came up to ask questions.

After Tong Li stated his identity and purpose, the man sent a sound transmission note.

Soon, the man seemed to have received some information, and bowed slightly to Tong Li and said, "The Seventh Elder invites Elder Tong. Elder Tong can take two people in, and the rest please stay outside."

"Seventh Elder?" Tong Li's face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, nodded at the man, and then walked into the cabin with Xia Daoming and Xiao Xuan.

"The full name of the Seventh Elder of the Chai Family is Chai Xunyan. He is in the late Jindan stage and is one of the most powerful elders of the Chai Family besides the Yuanying Grand Elder. He is also one of the elders who has the potential to reach the Yuanying stage. I didn't expect that the Chai Family would actually send this person to sit in the Great Xuanhai this time. It seems that the Chai Family is very angry about the murder of Chai Qiaohong and Pan Ming and takes it very seriously!"

As they walked, Tong Li whispered a message to Xia Daoming.

Xia Daoming curled the corner of his mouth in disapproval, not feeling too surprised by this.

Chai Chuanmo went to Tieshan Island specifically for Chai Qiaohong to bid for the Four Symbols Pill, and Chai Qiaohong was still carrying the Four Symbols Pill with her when she died. Not only that, Chai Chuanmo's Golden Peng Flowing Light Chariot was also taken away. That was a great treasure, how could the Chai family not be furious and ignore it?

Of course, the Chai family would never mention the matter of the Four Symbols Pill to outsiders.

After passing through a long corridor, the three of them came to a spacious hall with luxurious decoration.

Inside the hall, an old woman in plain clothes sat high up in the throne, with two foundation-building monks who looked like golden boys and jade girls standing behind her, and two golden elixir monks sitting on the left and right sides respectively.

On the left are two Jindan cultivators from the Changhe Sect, one in the middle Jindan stage and the other in the early Jindan stage.

Xia Daoming didn’t even recognize him.

On the right are two Jindan cultivators from the Xingyue Sect, one in the middle Jindan stage and one in the early Jindan stage.

Among them, the cultivator in the early Jindan stage was an old acquaintance. He was Wu An, who entered the ancient ruins of Nirvana together more than ten years ago.

Wu An looked at Tong Li and the other two coming in, with a hint of gloating and sarcastic sneer on his lips.

Tong Li's expression changed suddenly when he saw that there were two Jindan cultivators sitting on the left and right sides of the long table, and the one sitting at the top was a Jindan middle-stage cultivator.

However, Xia Daoming looked at the scene in front of him, with a thoughtful sneer flashing across his eyes.

"Hmph! You Qingyuan Sect are so arrogant. Not only are you late, but you also sent a newly promoted Jindan cultivator like you. It seems that you Qingyuan Sect don't take our Chai family seriously!" Without waiting for Tong Li to salute, the old woman spoke coldly with a frosty face. Her white hair fluttered in the wind, and the atmosphere in the whole hall suddenly turned cold, as if it had dropped to freezing point.

When the old woman was furious, the four Jindan elders from the Changhe Sect and the Xingyue Sect who were sitting on both sides of her just watched coldly, and no one spoke up to help.

“Elder Chai has misunderstood. Because of the battle two hundred years ago, the number of Jindan elders in Qingyuan Sect is now less than that of Changhe Sect and Xingyue Sect, and my master is unable to dispatch them, so he only sent me, a Jindan elder. It is absolutely not my intention to neglect the Chai family.” Tong Li’s face changed several times before he forced himself to remain calm.

"Those who are capable should do more work. Since Qingyuan Sect can't even dispatch such a small number of people, in my opinion, I should ask my supreme elder to report to Xuantian Pavilion and ask them to allocate some of Qingyuan Sect's territories and industries to Qingyuan Sect so that Qingyuan Sect will not be unable to take care of them." Upon hearing this, Chai Xunyan's expression not only did not ease, but became even colder.

Tong Li's face changed drastically when he heard this.

Xiao Xuan was young and energetic, and had little experience, so he clenched his fists on the spot and almost spoke out. However, Xia Daoming gave him a look, and he swallowed the words back.

"Elder Chai, our Qingyuan Sect will handle its affairs ourselves. If there is any real need for changes, Patriarch Huangfu will go to Xuantian Pavilion to negotiate in person, so the Chai family doesn't have to worry about it. But today we from the Qingyuan Sect are here for the Chai family's affairs, and this doesn't seem to be the way to treat guests." Tong Li took a deep breath, regained his composure, and said in a deep voice.

Chai Xunyan seemed to be somewhat apprehensive when Tong Li mentioned Patriarch Huangfu. His expression finally changed when he heard the words. He smiled coldly and said, "This Great Xuan Sea is originally under the jurisdiction of your three major sects. If someone from my Chai family gets into trouble in the Great Xuan Sea, you will naturally have to contribute. Do you think that Qingyuan Sect wants to stay out of it completely? Sit down!"

Upon hearing this, Tong Li walked to the left without saying a word and sat down next to Wu An.

Xia Daoming and Xiao Xuan stood on both sides behind him.

"After our people got into trouble, we immediately sent people to the Great Xuan Sea to investigate. But because we are unfamiliar with the Great Xuan Sea, the progress is very slow, so we still need the cooperation of your three major sects.

You can take a short rest before setting out to investigate. I will stay here, waiting for your news and supporting you at any time.

But the sea is dangerous, and there are many unruly warriors on the sea. I am a little worried that Elder Tong’s cultivation level will not be able to control the situation! "After Tong Li sat down, Chai Xunyan glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice.

But when his eyes swept across Tong Li, there was a hint of coldness, dissatisfaction and contempt.

"Elder Chai, there is no need to worry about this. My Qingyuan Sect still has some prestige in this Great Xuanhai." Tong Li said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"That's good." Chai Xunyan nodded disapprovingly.

Next, everyone discussed it and demarcated the approximate areas that each of them was responsible for, and then Chai Xunyan got up and left.

Only people from the three major sects were left in the hall.
