Lady Cultivator

After talking to Tan Dongchen, Mo Tiange quickly figured out the matter.

Qingzhou is a large city only a few hundred miles away from Tianxue City. The Tan family in Qingzhou, like the Ling family in Tianxue City, is the top immortal cultivating family in the area. More than half of the entire Qingzhou family belongs to the Tan family.

However, unlike the Ling family, although the Tan family is inextricably related to the Jiuyan Sect, it does not belong to the Jiuyan Sect in name. In fact, the Tan family does not belong to any sect. Among their families, the highest one is a Nascent Soul monk, there are several Dan-forming monks, and countless Foundation-building Qi-refining disciples.

Such a great Immortal Cultivator family is no less inferior to an ordinary mid-level sect, and often holds a decisive position among the major sects. However, the Tan family is not a member of a certain sect. They use the family as their foundation and absorb outside disciples. Over the past thousands of years, they have grown stronger and stronger in Qingzhou, and their power is no different from that of a sect. It can be said that they are actually a sect, just called a family.

The reason why the Tan family was able to gain a firm foothold in Qingzhou was because of its relationship with the Jiuyan Sect. Tan Dongchen said that because of their close proximity, the Tan family is related by marriage to many families in the Jiuyan Sect, including the Ling family. Mo Tiange has been in the Xuanqing Sect for a long time and knows that many families in such large sects rely on marriage to stabilize relationships. She understood as soon as she heard that the Tan family also used this method to form an alliance of interests with the Jiuyan Sect. , so they were able to develop such a big family near Jiuyan Sect.

After understanding this, Mo Tiange admired all the previous heads of the Tan family very much.

Jiuyan Sect's position in Yunzhong is more powerful than Tiandao Sect in Tianji. Tiandao Sect is known as the number one sect in Tianji, but Xuanqing Sect and Ancient Sword Sect among the seven major sects are not much weaker. But in Yunzhong, Jiuyan Sect is not only the first sect of cultivators, but also the first sect of all practitioners. Since the decline of Danxia Sect, no sect in Dongtang Kingdom has been strong enough to catch up with Jiuyan Sect, only Can watch Jiuyan Sect become more and more powerful. After thousands of years, the current Jiuyan Sect can be said to be a giant in the clouds, and no one dares to block its way.

Beside Jiuyanzong's bed, the Tan family not only established a firm foothold, but even grew stronger. Such a long-sleeved and skillful skill is remarkable. Mo Tiange thought that among the people he knew, even Luo Fengxue, who always talked about people and ghosts, did not have such skill.

It was said that they were exchanging cultivation experiences, but in fact, given the difference in cultivation between the two, it was Mo Tiange who was giving guidance to Tan Dongchen. Tan Dongchen knew that he had taken advantage and had nothing to say, so he told almost everything about the situation in Yunzhong, especially the Jiuyan Sect.

The management method of Jiuyan Sect is different from that of the major sects in Tianji. Although they also enjoy rights and status according to their level of cultivation, positions of power such as headmaster, deacons and elders are subject to election. Especially for the position of head, the alchemy monks in the sect can stand for election as long as they are recommended by two supreme elders. The election process is completely transparent, and even ordinary disciples can understand it clearly.

but,

Mo Tiange knew, however, that this was just an open face. After all, who was qualified to run for election was decided by the Supreme Elders at the Nascent Soul Stage, and it was still the Supreme Elders who ultimately decided who would win. Therefore, the position of the leader can only be regarded as partially transparent. Who can become the leader in the end is not only a competition between the candidates for the leader, but also a competition between the forces represented by the supreme elders.

When mentioning this matter, Tan Dongchen mysteriously told her the gossip.

It turns out that many strange things happened during the Jiuyan Sect’s leadership election. For example, a Dan monk from the Yin family, one of the original candidates for the leadership, went out to hunt for treasures for the election of the leadership, but disappeared mysteriously. The candidate of the Ling family encountered a high-level sea beast in Guixu Sea and was seriously injured. He had to withdraw from the election and be replaced by another monk.

When Mo Tiange heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Is there any secret in this?"

Tan Dongchen looked around and said mysteriously: "Who knows what happened, but all the accidents came together so coincidentally. There can't be such coincidences in this world, right?"

The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Mo Tiange asked again: "Forget about the Yin family's matter, then the candidate of the Ling family encountered a sea beast in Guixu Sea. Isn't this a lie?"

"That's hard to say." Tan Dongchen said, "I heard in the family before that the Ling family has been fighting fiercely within the past few decades. The original candidate for the headship was a direct descendant of the Ling family, but the current candidate is But he is a side branch whose origin has been suppressed by the direct lineage..."

Tan Dongchen explained the matter one by one. It turns out that although the Ling family is a large family with a large population, its branches have always had a declining talent pool, and the affairs of the family have always been decided by the direct descendants. However, more than a hundred years ago, a monk came out of the Ling family. He established the foundation in his twenties and formed the elixir in his eighties, becoming the most high-profile descendant of the Ling family in one fell swoop. At the same time, several descendants of the Ling family also had talents and formed golden elixirs. Talents have emerged frequently over the past hundred years, and this should have been the time for the Ling family to shine. However, somehow, these rising stars of the Ling family fought endlessly for the interests they represented, and instead dragged the Ling family into... In the endless struggle for power.

At this point, Mo Tiange already learned the name of the Ling family genius from Tan Dongchen, and it turned out to be Ling Yunhe.

Before the selection of the leader, outsiders originally speculated that Ling Yunhe should be the candidate. Unexpectedly, he was accidentally injured and his cultivation level dropped drastically, so there was no doubt that the direct descendants of the Ling family would be the candidates. Who knew that the Gui Xuhai incident would happen later, and this Ling family monk had to withdraw from the selection of the leader. I originally thought that the Ling family would have to give up this time, but not long after, Ling Yunhe actually recovered his cultivation, and he was chosen to run for election again.

The ups and downs and twists and turns of this matter really make outsiders talk about it. Outsiders don't know what the secret is, but that doesn't stop them from enthusiastically guessing. Mo Tiange listened to several versions relayed by Tan Dongchen, and he almost couldn't hold back his joy.

Some of them said that Ling Yunhe was suppressed by his direct lineage and was unwilling to withdraw from the choice of leader, so he plotted against his clan brother. Others said that the clan brother plotted against Ling Yunhe, and the outcome was not as good as God's. The funniest thing among them was that the clan brother loved his cousin very much, but Ling Yunhe was very angry and ignored him. Because of his love, he turned to hatred, and wanted to push Ling Yunhe down in every possible way, so he tried every means to avoid it. Let him become the leader, but it's a pity that he made one mistake and ended up losing.

Mo Tiange was dumbfounded at first, and then he couldn't help laughing until his stomach hurt. Immortals in the world of cultivating immortals are no different from ordinary people. There are quite a lot of aunts and grandmothers who like to gossip. Those who can at least come up with this "inside story" are definitely not ordinary people.

At the end, Mo Tiange ended his communication with Tan Dongchen with satisfaction. Tan Dongchen got a lot of advice on cultivation, and heard her talk about many new things overseas. She also learned a lot about the Yunzhong Immortal Cultivation Sect from Tan Dongchen, and everyone was very happy.

After bidding farewell to Tan Dongchen with satisfaction, Mo Tiange was about to walk out of the teahouse when suddenly he felt a powerful spiritual consciousness falling on him.

She narrowed her eyes. Although this spiritual consciousness is powerful, it has not completely suppressed her, so it is not the spiritual consciousness of the Nascent Soul cultivator. But if it were the spiritual consciousness of a pill-forming monk, it would be too powerful. You must know that she had practiced the God-Refining Art, and was now in the middle stage of pill-forming. Ordinary late-stage pill-forming monks may not have as strong a consciousness as hers. But this divine consciousness is undoubtedly much stronger than hers.

Is the person coming an enemy or a friend? Her thoughts were racing. If you say they are enemies, they are not threatening, but if you say they are friends, the unbridled temptation is too obvious.

Just as I was thinking like this, I heard a voice in my ear: "This girl is obviously an alchemy monk, why should she hide her cultivation?"

This was a male voice that sounded somewhat feminine, with a gloomy chill. When he spoke, the person was clearly not close by, but the words seemed to be in his ears.

Mo Tiange paused, then a light flashed in his hand, and the Heaven and Earth Fan immediately appeared in his hand, and he looked sharply at the right side room.

Following her movements, the relatively restrained murderous intent in her consciousness immediately became apparent. Mo Tiange suddenly felt a murderous intent coming, as if it was trying to suppress her consciousness.

In an instant, Mo Tiange glanced around, opened and closed the Heaven and Earth Fan, and tapped the back of his hand. An invisible barrier appeared around him, protecting him tightly.

"Huh?" The male voice was surprised, but then he smiled, "Interesting, really interesting."

Mo Tiange also laughed, slapped the back of his hand with the Heaven and Earth Fan, and looked at the side room: "This fellow Taoist relies on his powerful spiritual consciousness to bully others. Doesn't it seem bad?"

After such a change, the attendants at the teahouse looked at her in surprise, but none of them dared to step forward. Only then did they discover that this young-looking girl was actually an alchemy monk.

"Oppression? Haha" With laughter, the door of the wing was opened, and a man in black robe appeared at the door.

I saw him wearing a black cloak with gold embroidery, which was very gorgeous. He had a young appearance and a face like an autumn moon, and he was actually very handsome. However, no matter how you look at it, there is a demonic aura on this handsome young man's fair face, and his whole body is full of demonic aura.

In the late stage of pill formation, Mo Tiange looked solemnly, looking at this person, and carefully clenched the Heaven and Earth Fan in his hand. This person must not be a cultivator. It seems that he should be a demon cultivator or a demon cultivator.

Seeing her actions, the man smiled slightly: "Young lady is in the middle stage of pill formation, and your spiritual consciousness is so powerful, how can you say it is bullying? I am not sure that I will defeat you yet."

Mo Tiange snorted coldly: "If it's not oppression, you and I have never met each other. What's the point of suppressing me with your spiritual consciousness?"

The man blinked, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face, and then he bowed and said: "This is my fault, so I will apologize to the girl. Oh, I would like to formally introduce you to the girl. My name is Xuanyue. , known as the Xuanyue Demon Lord, do you know what the girl’s surname is?”) Book friends, please pay attention!
