Ji Wusi thought for a moment, then sent messages to Liuli and Qing Yun as well.
These two were both relatively reclusive, the kind who paid no attention to worldly affairs.
It's quite possible that they still didn't know about Wushuang Sect's impending reconstruction. However, although neither of them held real administrative power, their status within the various sects was extremely high. If they knew that the future master of Wushuang Sect was Yun Jin, they would more or less have to contribute some effort as well, right?
This disciple wasn't his alone!
These two also needed to get moving.
Ji Wusi could only guarantee that he himself harbored goodwill toward Wushuang Sect, but human hearts were complex, and the other three holy lands might not be the same.
If Liuli and Qing Yun also joined in, the pressure on him would be greatly reduced.
Ji Wusi used a communication token and quickly passed this information to Qing Yun and Liuli.
Qing Yun was in the middle of refining a furnace of seventh-grade pills.
However, with his level of ability, refining seventh-grade pills was already something he could do with great ease. Qing Yun casually took out his communication token and glanced at it.
Then.
He froze in place.
In the next moment.
Boom, the pill furnace directly exploded.
Only a pile of black ash remained at the bottom of the furnace.
Qing Yun's face turned green!
Damn Ji Wusi. This furnace of pills would have to be charged to his account, he would definitely have to compensate him for it!
Qing Yun fumed for a while before finally pondering the meaning of Ji Wusi's message.
Wushuang Sect from a thousand years ago…
Had actually left a legacy outside.
And the Sword Sage of Ten Thousand Daos had even found his inheritor.
This inheritor was, coincidentally, Yun Jin!
Qing Yun's first reaction was concern.
Wushuang Sect, just the name alone was enough to stir many people's hearts.
That name itself represented far too many things.
Many people likely didn't wish for Wushuang Sect to reappear.
Qing Yun had always buried himself in alchemy and didn't pay much attention to such matters.
After returning from Tianxing Sect, he had gone straight into seclusion to refine pills, completely ignorant of outside affairs.
According to Ji Wusi, Xuandan Sect should already have sent disciples over by now.
At this moment, Qing Yun didn't know what kind of attitude Xuandan Sect held toward the reconstruction of Wushuang Sect.
But.
Wushuang Sect had righteousness on its side. With such a vast world, could it truly not accommodate the rebuilding of a single sect?
Not to mention that the future sect master of Wushuang Sect was Yun Jin.
As her master, he naturally had to contribute effort to help her.
That's exactly the meaning behind Ji Wusi's message.
Qing Yun sighed at the pill furnace, what a pity for this batch of pills.
But how could mere pills compare to a precious disciple?
Qing Yun opened the door and directly left seclusion.
"Supreme Elder." At the doorway, two gatekeeping youths saluted respectfully.
Qing Yun responded and asked calmly, "Has something major occurred in the sect?"
The youths hurriedly replied, "The sect master has indeed summoned disciples to depart. We were permitted not to go because we must guard this place."
Qing Yun nodded and asked, "Where are they?"
The youth quickly said, "This disciple can lead the way."
At the very center of Xuandan Sect was a massive plaza. On this plaza were tiered steps, and at the highest point stood a raised platform, upon which sat an enormous pill furnace.
This furnace was one of Xuandan Sect's immortal artifacts: Turning Heaven Furnace.
The immortal artifact stood there quietly, completely unafraid of being coveted by anyone.
This was the foundation of a holy land.
At this moment.
Xuandan Sect's sect master, Xuan Feng, had already selected six people and was quietly instructing them about something.
Qing Yun suddenly arrived, and the disciples hurriedly made way.
"Supreme Elder," Sect Master Xuan Feng also bowed respectfully.
Qing Yun nodded. With a casual gesture, he set up a soundproof barrier, then directly asked, "I hear that Wushuang Sect has already chosen an inheritor. With this secret treasury opening, what attitude does our Xuandan Sect intend to take?"
Xuan Feng was stunned for a moment.
Qing Yun had been devoted to alchemy and had never concerned himself with such matters. Why had he suddenly…
Xuan Feng quickly said, "Wushuang Sect was indeed at its peak in the past, but times are different now. Whether it can truly be rebuilt remains uncertain. We can only adapt to circumstances and see how things develop."
Qing Yun snorted coldly, "Back then, Wushuang Sect sacrificed itself to resist the demons. Others may not know this, but how could you not know? All the living beings under heaven owe Wushuang Sect an enormous debt. And yet now, you only think of adapting to circumstances, this is somewhat inappropriate."
Xuan Feng was scolded into confusion and couldn't help asking, "What does Supreme Elder mean?"
Qing Yun cleared his throat lightly, "I will only reveal to you one secret. This matter is known by heaven and earth, by you and by me. After hearing it, you can make your decision."
Xuan Feng hurriedly agreed.
Qing Yun lowered his voice, "Do you still remember that day when I went out to search for a disciple?"
Xuan Feng responded with a hum, then couldn't help saying, "Supreme Elder, with a soundproof barrier in place, there is no need to speak like this."
Qing Yun glared at him, "If I don't, how will there be an atmosphere for telling secrets? You are very lacking in tact."
Xuan Feng felt a bit awkward and could only say, "Supreme Elder, please continue."
"Hmph. After that, I returned alone, and you all thought I failed to take in a disciple, didn't you?" Qing Yun suddenly showed a smug expression.
Xuan Feng froze, then said in surprise, "Supreme Elder, did you take in a disciple? Why didn't you bring them back?"
Qing Yun stroked his long beard, "You might as well guess first. Who do you think my disciple is?"
Xuan Feng's expression shifted slightly.
They were talking about Wushuang Sect's inheritor right now.
And Qing Yun suddenly brought up his disciple…
Xuan Feng froze, and a trace of disbelief suddenly flashed across his face.
Could it be…
"Looks like you have some cleverness after all." Qing Yun smiled faintly. "My disciple is the future sect master of Wushuang Sect."
Xuan Feng's eyes immediately lit up.
If Wushuang Sect had no connection whatsoever with Xuandan Sect, then whether it could be rebuilt, and to what extent, wasn't something he truly cared about.
But if...
The sect master of Wushuang Sect was the Supreme Elder's disciple?
Then that meant they were their own people!
Qing Yun began to sell his story. He concealed the fact that Yun Jin was also Ji Wusi's and Liuli's disciple. After all, only a few of them knew about that matter, if they didn't say anything, who would know?
Qing Yun said, "My disciple has astonishing talent in alchemy. Once she rebuilds Wushuang Sect, and then combines my alchemy techniques with Wushuang Sect's techniques, in a thousand years' time, there may well be an unprecedented alchemy grandmaster. With my master-disciple bond with her, would Xuandan Sect still lack benefits in the future?"
Xuan Feng nodded repeatedly.
"But the fact that Yun Jin is my disciple is something the other three holy lands do not know. We should encourage them as well to help rebuild Wushuang Sect. If they help, they are helping Wushuang Sect, and equally helping our Xuandan Sect." Qing Yun continued to push his point.
Only by making Xuan Feng feel that rebuilding Wushuang Sect would make Xuandan Sect the greatest beneficiary would he truly put in effort.
Xuan Feng nodded vigorously, a trace of joy on his face, "Supreme Elder's vision is truly extraordinary. Who would have thought that the future sect master of Wushuang Sect would've already entered Supreme Elder's tutelage! Supreme Elder, rest assured. This matter's importance is clear to me, and I will certainly not let it leak out. Since they are our own people, then this time, when Wushuang Sect is rebuilt, we will naturally contribute effort. However, if the other holy lands gain no benefit, they may not be willing to contribute."
Qing Yun looked calm, "It's fine. We'll simply do what we can."
Xuan Feng nodded, already beginning to ponder how to also deceive the other three holy lands into contributing more effort.
Now that Yun Jin was one of their own, this matter could no longer be handled the same way as before.
After removing the soundproof barrier, Xuan Feng gave another round of instructions. Only then did the disciples activate the key and teleport away.
