Chapter 128 Taiyi Sect

Inside a cafe in Jinhua Shopping Mall in Los Angeles.

Lu Yan sat by the window, waiting for the arrival of reviewers from the Federal Archaeological Association.

The Federal Archaeological Association is the largest archaeological organization in the Eastern Federation and has a huge influence in the archaeological industry.

Lu Yan himself had no interest in archaeology, but after some research, he became very interested in the power that the Federal Archaeological Association corresponded to in the fairy-tale version.

The Federal Archaeological Association had another name in the early days, called the Feng Shui and Yi Xue Research Association.

Just like the Kowloon Fitness Club to the Kowloon Club and the Qingwu Group to the Qingwu Sect, the sect corresponding to the Feng Shui and Yi Studies Association is called the Taiyi Sect!

Taiyi Sect is one of the ten major sects of Xuanmen in the Xianxia version, but it is the most special one among the ten major sects of Xuanmen.

Taiyi Sect does not have a mountain gate or a residence, so disciples need to find one on their own.

The Taiyi Sect does not have any martial arts skills passed down, so disciples need to dig them out on their own.

The Taiyi Sect is divided into many main branches and sub-branches. The main branch has at most two or three disciples in each generation, while the sub-branches will branch out and recruit many disciples.

What is taught in the sect are not techniques or spells, but many methods such as observing qi, opening mountains, and feng shui.

Every disciple of Taiyi Sect is a top Feng Shui master, and the mission of the disciples is to excavate ancient relics and blessed places.

The inheritance of skills among Taiyi Sect disciples basically depends on what they can dig up and learn.

The main lineage with a small population often does not have any sect headquarters. In most cases, they simply find a large tomb and use it as a place for sect practice.

Disciples from branch lines are relatively better off, and will occupy some spiritual veins and branch out, but they can only rely on themselves.

Normally, such a weird sect should have been destroyed long time ago, but in fact, Taiyi Sect is not only alive, but also the sect with the longest inheritance among the ten major Xuanmen sects.

Great Feng Shui masters who are proficient in Feng Shui will bury themselves before they die, in the hope of living a second life.

When Taiyi Sect disciples conduct archaeological excavations and dig graves, they are, to a certain extent, also digging up the graves of their own sect’s predecessors.

Because you have no idea which relic or ancient coffin contains the old monster from Taiyi Sect.

Throughout history, the Taiyi Sect had been besieged by various sects several times, but in the end the old monsters would rise up and defeat many powerful enemies. Even one orthodox Xuanmen sect completely declined because of it.

To this day, most practitioners in the entire cultivation version will show courtesy to people from the Taiyi Sect when they see them.

Even though the cultivation levels of the Taiyi Sect members vary, no one can tell for sure whether there is an old monster behind them.

While stirring the coffee slowly with the spoon in his hand, Lu Yan was lost in thought.

There are no supernatural elements in the urban version, and the ten major sects in the fairy-tale version are just ordinary organizations.

Although the Xuanmen sect is huge in size and has far-reaching influence, the lower levels of the sect are not as unattainable as the Xianxia version.

As long as Lu Yan is willing to spend money, he can easily get into any sect. When it is updated to the fairy-xia version, Lu Yan can successfully obtain the identity of a Xuanmen disciple.

Even now that Lu Yan possesses a large amount of wealth, it is not a problem for him to directly buy the status of a sect elder.

However, Lu Yan was very clear that if the identity obtained by spending money was only at the first level of outer disciple, it would be fine. Qi training disciples were not qualified to be noticed by the sect, and even if there were any special circumstances, it would be difficult for others to notice.

But when it comes to inner disciples, things begin to change.

The inner disciples at the Foundation Establishment stage should be considered the backbone of the sect. If spies of this level infiltrate other sects, it will have a bad impact on the sect, so their identities are often carefully examined.

As an unchanging person, Lu Yan cannot change with the version updates. His identity as a disciple bought with money cannot withstand close scrutiny. Once he is labeled as a spy of the evil sect, he will inevitably attract hostility from the orthodox Xuanmen.

If the soul flag is exposed in the process, the righteous sects will hunt them down without mercy.

This is just the inner sect disciple. Each level above, such as personal disciple, true disciple, and elder, is progressive and there is no possibility of fraud.

Considering this, Lu Yan decisively chose Taiyi Sect, which was not bound by too many strict rules and regulations. In Taiyi Sect, any realm of cultivation and magical skills depended on one's own ability to dig tombs and explore relics.

In the history of Taiyi Sect, there was a talented cultivator with outstanding talent who wasted his time because he failed to discover any skills or supernatural powers, and finally he was able to establish a foundation at the age of sixty.

There were also disciples with mediocre qualifications who were extremely lucky and advanced from Qi training to Golden Elixir in just nine years.

Lu Yan naturally had no intention of digging up ruins and tombs, but he could use these things to cover up his own promotion speed and secrets.

In addition, the Xuanmen authentic platform also allows Lu Yan to have the opportunity to access more secrets of the Xianxia version and acquire the magical powers of the Merit Sect.

Just as Lu Yan was concentrating on thinking, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked into the cafe.

After looking around, the middle-aged man saw Lu Yan by the window, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"You are Mr. Lu who is interested in investing in the association, right?

I am Chu Zhuoqun from the Federal Archaeological Association, and I am currently serving as the deputy director of the Human Resources Department of the association. ”

Lu Yan looked Chu Zhuoqun up and down. He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man in the workplace, nothing special about him.

Considering the particularity of the urban version, this appearance is not surprising.

"I am Lu Yan."

Lu Yan nodded as a response.

Chu Zhuoqun didn't care about Lu Yan's attitude, but instead showed a friendly smile:
"May I ask why Mr. Lu wants to invest in our Archaeological Association?"

“I have had a strong interest in archaeology since I was young, and investing in the Federal Archaeological Association is just the fulfillment of my childhood dream.

Three million is just the initial investment, and we will consider additional investment in a month.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhuoqun's smile grew even brighter, and he took out a document from his briefcase and was about to speak.

At this moment, the door of the cafe was opened heavily.

A middle-aged man wearing a green gown and carrying a tattered bag walked into the coffee shop. His clothes were completely out of place with the surroundings.

Scanning the entire coffee shop, the man immediately locked onto Chu Zhuoqun's position, his face full of gloom.

"Chu Zhuoqun! You clearly agreed to give this quota to our main branch, why did you change your mind and sell it in advance?"

Chu Zhuoqun sneered and scolded unceremoniously:

"It's a different era now, and those who are still thinking about the main veins and branches are just a bunch of stubborn old antiques!
If we hadn't gone around begging for funds, it would be a question whether the so-called Feng Shui Yixue Research Association could even exist. What qualifications do you have to blame me?"

The middle-aged man in blue shirt was furious.

At this moment, another figure quickly ran into the cafe.

"Master, I told you not to run so fast!"

The man stopped beside the middle-aged man in green shirt and gasped heavily. Suddenly his eyes fell on Lu Yan, and then his face showed surprise.

"Brother Lu?"

Lu Yan looked at the familiar person in front of him, his face full of surprise.

"Brother He, why are you here?"

The person who arrived later was none other than He Dongsheng, a fake cultivator who had a friendship with Lu Yan spanning two versions and was chosen by Zhao Huowang because of karma!
