My Endless Life.

Chapter 296 Rabbit and Scorpion

Within the Shengxian Sect, the Four Dharma Protectors respectively manage the Twelve Dharma Protectors, who in turn establish twelve gates. Within the twelve gates, the innate disciples hold important positions, while the acquired disciples hold ordinary positions.

The feminine man in front of him was obviously a high-ranking official from one of the Twelve Gates. Judging from his feminine appearance, he must be from either the Rabbit Gate or the Snake Gate.

The disciple surnamed Zhu brought everyone here, and then the feminine man took over.

He arranged the people on several carriages according to their villages, then got on one of the carriages and began another missionary work.

Li Qi had heard these missionaries from the disciple surnamed Zhu before. Most of them were nonsense about how good the Shengxian Sect was and how one could ascend to become an immortal after death, which aroused the villagers' sense of identity.

Then the feminine man began to explain to everyone the division of labor among the twelve gates and confirmed everyone's choices.

“It’s our first meeting. Let me introduce myself to you. My last name is She, and I’m a sixth-turn disciple of the Snake Sect. You can call me Brother She.

"My Shemen is mainly responsible for the preparation of medicines within the sect, which is a relatively easy job. If you choose to join the Shemen, you don't have to worry about going to the front line to fight with the Qi Kingdom martial arts world..."

The man surnamed She spoke in a gentle tone, and although his voice was a little gloomy, it did not leave a bad impression on people.

He had a smiling face and seemed very friendly.

After the man surnamed She finished speaking, he continued:

"If you are not satisfied with our Snake Sect, you can also choose the Rabbit Sect or the Dragon Sect. The three of us are under the guardian of the Azure Dragon. We share what we have and are considered fellow sects.

"Among them, the Rabbit Gate is responsible for cultivating medicinal materials, and the Dragon Gate is responsible for curing diseases and healing injuries. If anyone among you is familiar with medical principles, you can also enter the Dragon Gate, which is the first gate in the sect!"

After Senior Brother She finished talking about the main points, he then briefly introduced the situation of several other subjects.

After listening to it, Li Qi had a general impression of the Shengxian Sect as a whole.

The Four Dharma Protectors are in charge of the twelve gates respectively. Azure Dragon is in charge of the three gates of Dragon, Snake and Rabbit, and is responsible for the medical work within the religion.

Baihu is in charge of the three sects of Tiger, Ox and Monkey, and shoulders the responsibility of fighting within the sect.

Suzaku is in charge of the three gates of Chicken, Rat and Dog, and his main responsibility is to gather intelligence and act as a scout.

Xuanwu is in charge of the three branches of "horse", "sheep" and "pig", and is mainly responsible for the logistics and food of the sect.

The Four Symbols control most of the duties of the Ascension Sect, and these duties are further divided among the twelve subordinate sects.

And because the two guardians Suzaku and Baihu are now leading the believers to participate in the battle between good and evil, the task of recruiting new disciples is naturally given to Qinglong and Xuanwu.

The previous disciple named Zhu belonged to the Xuanwu branch, and the current disciple named She belongs to the Qinglong branch.

After listening to the division of labor among the four guardians, Li Qi thought for a moment and then sent a message to Hu Xiaoer and Wang Niuniu, asking them to go with him into the Rabbit Gate which was in charge of Qinglong.

Because the Qinglong clan is responsible for the Shengxian Sect's medicine work, there is a high probability that the golden elixir will come from the Qinglong clan.

Li Qi came here for the golden elixir, so of course he couldn't go to any other sect.

After deciding where to go, Li Qi and his companions, as soon as they arrived at the Shengxian Sect, found the disciple named She who had brought them there and explained their thoughts and intentions.

The disciple named She was also very friendly. With a smile on his face, he led the people who were going to the Rabbit Gate to a hilltop planted with herbs. He found a female disciple with rabbit ears on her head and handed everyone over to that female disciple.

During this period, no one checked the qualifications of these people, and no one checked their origins. They were just sent into the church, asked where they were going, and sent to the right place. They were then officially considered to have become members of the Ascension Church.

The fact that they were able to infiltrate the Shengxian Sect so smoothly made Li Qi somewhat wary.

Logically speaking, since the Shengxian Sect is so eager to recruit believers regardless of their qualifications, their arrangements should not be so gentle.

Just check their physical condition casually, feed them the golden elixir directly, and then send them to the front line. This is the approach that suits their current situation.

But what is the situation now?
Are they really here to recruit disciples?
Li Qi, who entered the Shengxian Sect and successfully entered the Rabbit Gate, was full of doubts about this.

"Master, this Ascension Cult is not as evil as you say."

On the third day after arriving at the Shengxian Sect, Hu Xiaoer, who had just finished dealing with the miscellaneous items at hand, said to Li Qi with a confused look on his face.

Before coming to Shengxian Sect, Li Qi said that it was very dangerous inside the sect and they would definitely be sent to the front line or something.

But after coming here, although there are more chores every day and it is a bit tiring, but I have three meals a day and no worries about my life, which is a very good treatment for ordinary people.

There was none of the life-threatening danger that Li Qi had mentioned.

"Yeah, this Shengxian Sect...how could it be so peaceful?"

Li Qi muttered to himself.

For a place like the Demon Sect, the more ordinary it is, the more abnormal it seems. Li Qi always feels that there is nothing wrong with the Ascension Sect, but it seems normal because it is too wrong.

There was no way to find any useful information if he continued like this, so Li Qi decided to go to the Rabbit Gate Guardian tonight to see what was going on.

Let Hu Xiaoer and Wang Niuniu work as usual. Li Qi stole a set of clothes from the Shengxian Sect disciples that night, covered his face, and sneaked into the manor of the Rabbit Gate Guardian.

After a few days of working at the Rabbit Gate Medicine Garden, Li Qi had already found out where the Rabbit Gate Protector lived.

About a mile from the medicine garden, there is a two-story attic where the Rabbit Sect guardians and several important Xiantian disciples live. It is a "restricted area" for new disciples like Li Qi, and no one can get close to it. Li Qi only took a look from a distance a few days ago and did not dare to look at it for long.

Now we have to break in directly.

It's late at night and everything is silent.

Li Qi's disguised figure landed lightly above the attic.

The bricks and tiles under his feet made no sound at all, as if nothing had fallen on them.

At the Grandmaster level, one can fly in the sky, and even on the ground, as long as one is determined, one can walk on the snow without leaving any trace and land without making any sound.

Li Qi has now completely consolidated his cultivation as a Grandmaster, plus he already has experience in flying, when he landed on the roof, even fellow Grandmaster warriors could not sense it, let alone the group of Innate Realm warriors in the room.

After making sure that there were no special mechanisms around and no strange smells as markers, Li Qi entered from a window of the attic on the second floor, stepped on the beams above, and concealed his breath to search for the secret of this attic.

Not long after entering the attic, Li Qi suddenly stopped when he explored the first floor and looked at a place at the deepest part of the corridor.

The candles had been extinguished in other places, but in that place, the candles were still lit, and faint sounds of conversation could be heard.

Obviously, Li Qi's five senses had been enhanced a long time ago, and he could clearly hear other people's conversations even from a long distance. However, here he could only vaguely hear the voices of others communicating.

This made him a little strange.

Only when he got closer to where the conversation was coming from did Li Qi understand the reason.

There is a secret passage in this room!
The secret passage was hidden behind a bookshelf, and the faint sound of conversation was coming from behind the bookshelf!

"You want to add a secret room to your own room?"

Li Qi muttered to himself, his eyes falling on the bookshelf blocking the secret room.

Faint sounds of secret conversations could be heard. Li Qi did not go in, but just moved closer to the bookshelf, closed his eyes and listened to the sounds inside the bookshelf.

The first voice that entered Li Qi's ears was a slightly older male voice:
"...almost done. Remember to send these new ones to the Dragon Guardian in a few days when the full moon comes."

"So urgent? They haven't even started 'cultivation' yet."

This time it was a female voice. Li Qi could tell from the voice that this was the leader of the Rabbit Clan, the Rabbit Protector.

The old male voice said, "We can't help it. Golden elixirs are in short supply now. The disciples who fought against the righteous have lost their supply of golden elixirs. And for some reason, the leader has also reduced the supply of golden elixirs. We can only think of making fake elixirs to deal with it."

"Is the situation so urgent? Da Qi hasn't even taken any action yet."

The Rabbit Protector asked in a deep voice.

The old man sighed and said:
"I don't know. You should know that I am not responsible for these things. I just came back not long ago... In short, you should prepare for the worst."

"what?"

"The leader will abandon us."

The old man's voice became even quieter, causing the Rabbit Guardian to be shocked: "What?! Are you sure?!"

"I'm not sure, so I asked you to make plans first."

The old man spoke to the Rabbit Protector in a low voice.

The Rabbit Guardian was even more surprised and puzzled when he heard this:
"If the leader really wants to give up on us, wouldn't that be equivalent to giving up most of the Shengxian Sect's combat power? The leader has cultivated the Shengxian Sect for so many years, and it has finally become one of the six sects of the Demon Sect. Now he just gives up like that? How is this possible!"

The Rabbit Protector still didn't quite believe it.

The main reason is that what the old man said was too outrageous.

The leader of the Shengxian Sect, built the Shengxian Sect up little by little from scratch to its present state.

I wonder how much effort the leader of the Shengxian Sect put into this!

It is impossible for anyone to completely give up the power that they have built up!

unless……

The Rabbit Guardian was still thinking, when suddenly they heard a strange voice:

"Yes, the leader of the Ascension Sect has developed the sect to such a level, how could he give up so easily? I am very curious, where did you get this information?"

As soon as this strange voice came out, Rabbit Protector and the old man reacted instantly.

The Rabbit Guardian immediately turned into a demon, and the old man raised his hand and released a green poisonous gas that floated towards the stranger.

However, the two of them only took this step, and then they found that their whole bodies seemed to be bound by something, and they were standing there unable to move!
Looking at the energy attached to the silk thread on his body, the old man's pupils shrank:
"Grandmaster!"

And he is a strong master among the masters!
Otherwise, with the old man's strength at the early stage of the third rank, it would be impossible for him to be restrained in place by the opponent's internal energy!
