"Establish a sect with the continuous study of formations as its primary cultivation goal? Good, count me in!"
"This is the first time anyone has ever proposed such an idea. It seems I have no reason to refuse either."
"The road ahead will be difficult, but I want to give it a try. Therefore, I'm joining as well."
"The greater the difficulty, the more challenging it is, right? I want to try too."
"Brother Lin has grand ambitions, which I happen to like. Then I am definitely joining!"
"If anyone else said this, I might not believe them, but I believe in Brother Lin. Count me in!"
"You guys are using the wrong word. This is a sect we are building together, so how can you call it joining?"
"Don't look at me. Since everyone else has joined, there is no way I could possibly refuse!"
From Zuo He to Xi Miaoyun, not a single one of the eight Formation Masters refused before the blueprint laid out by Xiao Lin!
This situation was actually quite normal.
Being Formation Masters themselves, they understood all too well just how difficult the rise of a Formation Master truly was. Now, someone with great ambition was willing to establish a sect centered on cultivating the way of formations.
Given that they were all figures at the level of Formation Masters, who among them could resist such a temptation? They were willing to hack through the thorns and blaze a trail for future generations!
To be perfectly honest, if Xiao Lin merely wanted to establish an ordinary sect, they were all far too used to their freedom to necessarily choose to join. However, what Xiao Lin wanted to build was a sect dedicated to the cultivation of formations.
Under such circumstances, what reason did they have to refuse?
Seeing all eight of them accepting with smiles on their faces, Xiao Lin was instead somewhat astonished. He had originally thought he would have to waste quite a bit of breath trying to persuade them.
He could have even understood if some of them were unwilling to join.
Yet, this scene still caught him completely by surprise.
For a brief moment, Xiao Lin himself actually didn't know what to say. Indeed, ever since he first met Ji Li and heard the other party mention that he had already gathered eight Formation Masters, Xiao Lin had been planning this exact move.
Once upon a time, Xiao Lin had sworn an oath before his teacher that he would rebuild his master's sect, the Myriad Formation Spiritual Palace, in the future!
But since it was the reconstruction of his old sect, this sect clearly had to focus primarily on cultivating the way of formations. This was precisely the reason why Xiao Lin had held onto this thought ever since coming to the Central Plains all these years, yet had never put it into action.
It wasn't that he was unwilling to recruit ordinary disciples. Rather, if he recruited nothing but ordinary disciples, wouldn't that mean he would have to teach the entire sect how to cultivate formations all by himself?
That would exhaust him to death!
This was obviously not something Xiao Lin wished to see. Therefore, these eight Formation Masters gathered by Ji Li became Xiao Lin's targets. One could say that Xiao Lin had secretly been eyeing these eight Formation Masters for a long time.
Earlier, when absorbing the energy crystals, the reason why he didn't absorb them with all his might was partly to win the goodwill of these eight Formation Masters.
Looking at it now, Xiao Lin's strategy was highly successful. His every move, his every word, and his every action had won him the acknowledgment of the eight Formation Masters.
This was precisely why when he proposed establishing a sect with the cultivation of formations as its goal, these eight Formation Masters would agree without the slightest hesitation.
Because, they trusted Xiao Lin!
The reason was just that simple.
"Uh, speaking of which, now that you all are done discussing, did anyone bother to ask for my opinion?"
Right at this moment, a depressed voice echoed out. There was no need to look; this was clearly voiced by Ji Li. To tell the truth, Ji Li never expected that things would actually develop to this point!
The eight Formation Masters he had painstakingly gathered together were just snatched away by Lin Xiao like this? Why did he always feel like something was incredibly wrong with this situation?
Could it be that from the moment this fellow Lin Xiao accepted his invitation, the guy had already set his sights on the remaining eight Formation Masters he had gathered? Yet, Ji Li had hit the nail right on the head!
Xiao Lin had accepted Ji Li's invitation back then for three reasons.
The first was for those formation diagrams. The second was his interest in the clues regarding the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix. As for the final one, he was indeed plotting to win over Zuo He and the other seven Formation Masters.
With himself plus the eight Formation Masters, rebuilding his old sect, the Myriad Formation Spiritual Palace, would no longer pose any problem whatsoever. What was more, they had now obtained this special space.
This could completely serve as the foundation for them to establish their sect!
At this moment, all the conditions for Xiao Lin to rebuild the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace were already in place. Only, as for the arrangement for this guy Ji Li, Xiao Lin really hadn't thought about it.
Therefore, after Ji Li spoke up to express his presence, Xiao Lin and the other eight people were also stunned for a moment. After all, when it came to the path of formations, Ji Li was a complete layman!
"Uh, Old Ji, how about you come to our sect to be a doorkeeper?"
Xiao Lin teased with a hint of testing.
If possible, Xiao Lin naturally hoped to pull a high-level combat power like Ji Li into the sect!
No matter whether he knew formations or not, no sect would reject such a combat power. Ji Li, who was already a Five-Turn Dou Zun now, after using all his means, even a Nine-Change Dou Zun might not necessarily be able to do anything to him!
In addition, everyone had gone through life and death together, so if Xiao Lin wanted to rebuild the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, he naturally wanted to pull this guy Ji Li in as well.
"What? Make me guard the gate for you guys? Do you believe I'll tear down the sect you build? No way, I want to be the Sect Master of this established sect!"
Ji Li said this with full confidence, even though he had no logical backing!
What kind of joke was this? Establishing a sect was such a fun thing, and they weren't going to include him? Moreover, with his strength, making him guard the gate?
Wishful thinking! No matter what, he had to get himself a Sect Master position to play with!
Hearing Ji Li say this, Xiao Lin's eyes instantly lit up.
Because Ji Li's words were already equivalent to making his stance clear. Regarding Xiao Lin and the others wanting to establish a sect with the path of formations as their cultivation goal, Ji Li was willing to join.
It was just that this guy was tsundere and didn't want to say it directly.
"Forget it, Old Ji, don't you have any idea of your own weight? This is a sect with the path of formations as its cultivation goal, do you understand formations? You understand a hammer! And you still want to be the Sect Master?"
"You should first read and understand the introduction to formations before talking."
Knowing that Ji Li was willing to join, Xiao Lin was even happier.
Since they had experienced life and death together, they spoke with much less politeness between each other now. See, after Xiao Lin finished speaking, he directly gave the other party a white eye.
It wasn't that Xiao Lin himself had to become the master of the sect, but if Ji Li became the Sect Master, wouldn't this sect, which took the path of formations as its cultivation goal, fail to live up to its name?
Once this was publicized to the outside world.
Oh, the Sect Master of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace actually doesn't even know how to set up a formation? Then what other person who took the path of formations as their cultivation goal would be willing to join the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace?
"Yeah, yeah, Brother Ji, I also think you are suitable for guarding the gate!"
See, someone else started to tease Ji Li again.
The others at this moment also expressed their agreement one after another.
"Damn it, you guys!"
Being teased by everyone, Ji Li suddenly bared his teeth and grimaced.
Afterward, everyone also chatted and played around with each other. After experiencing the matter of eliminating the demon, everyone also needed to relax their minds.
"Oh, right, I remember we said earlier that we were going to beat this guy Ji Li up, right?"
Suddenly, it was unknown who brought up this topic.
"That's right!"
"Beat the crap out of him!"
"Almost forgot about this!"
"Huh? Where is Ji Li?"
"Bastard, that guy ran away!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Chase him!"
"You bastards, don't even think about catching up to me!"
"Untrustworthy guy, didn't we agree to let us beat you up?"
"Ah? You guys actually believed it just because I said it? Idiots!"
"Damn it, brothers and sisters, get him!"
In the end, Ji Li was severely beaten up by the 'angry' crowd.
