During the days of waiting in Tonglu City, Su Chen made four or five of them are aimed at Wulan Villa.
Twenty-six days after the letter was mailed.
Su Chen finally waited for the arrival of Zhu Ming Palace. The one who came this time was the second elder of Zhu Ming Palace.
As the core of the sect, the second elder came in person, which showed that he valued Su Chen enough.
The two had a small gathering in a private room of a restaurant in Tonglu City.
When they first met, the second elder just said some polite words and asked about Su Chen's recent situation.
To be honest, I didn't encounter too much trouble.
Everything went relatively smoothly along the way.
“At the end of last month, the Qilou and Liulige sects announced that they would work closely together.
The two families want to unite and share their techniques for refining jade elixirs.
There are many forces in Jin State, and now they are on the side of these two sects."
Su Chen didn't find it strange to hear what the second elder said.
Before Zhu Minggong mastered the technique of refining jade elixirs, only Qilou and Liulige in the entire Jin State mastered the relevant techniques.
The two forces were rivals at that time and could not get along with each other.
But now, the State of Jin has the behemoth Zhu Ming Palace in refining jade elixirs.
Not only are the medicine refining techniques far more excellent and sophisticated than those of the other two sects, but Zhu Ming Palace's sect foundation also far exceeds that of the two of them.
Ever since the news of Zhu Ming Palace refining jade elixirs spread, the status of the two sects began to decline sharply.
The top executives of Qilou and Liulige are not fools. When problems arise, they will certainly think of changes.
The union of the two sects was expected.
As for what the second elder said, other forces stood on the side of Qilou and Liuli Pavilion and supported their two sects.
This is even more normal, the butt determines the head.
The attitudes and stances of other sects are based on their own interests.
Zhu Ming Palace is the only dominant sect. What benefits will this bring to other sects?
Giving Zhu Minggong a unique advantage in jade elixirs will only give Zhu Minggong the power to ask for exorbitant prices.
For them, these are not advantages but disadvantages.
Pull Zhu Ming Palace down from the altar, and there is another sect confronting it.
It is a good thing for both the forces that need elixirs and the forces that refine elixirs.
It is normal for Zhu Ming Palace to encounter this kind of problem now.
"Has the union of the two sects produced any results yet?"
Su Chen asked two more questions.
I had seen some paintings before when I was in Zhuming Palace.
The picture shows the jade elixir refined by Qilou and Liulige.
But judging from the appearance of the pill, it is a very primitive existence.
Most impurities were not removed completely.
Both sects were at the entry-level stage of jade elixir. In Su Chen's opinion, it would not be easy for the two sects to advance by uniting.
But looking at the expression of the second elder of Zhu Ming Palace, Su Chen knew that he still had something to say.
“At the beginning of the month, Qilou displayed a jade elixir to the public.
Its quality has improved significantly.
Zhu Ming Palace has been under a lot of pressure recently."
complain.
Generally speaking, complaints are usually spoken to refuse or ask for something.
The second elder of Zhu Ming Palace holds an extraordinary status in the entire Jin State.
He complained in front of him, and Su Chen already had some guesses in his mind.
“Fan Chengyan of Wulan Villa hates you very much.
The Palace Master has already thought of many ways to mediate.
But the effect is still not very good.”
When the Second Elder said this, Su Chen roughly understood it.
The reason why I complained before is also very clear.
“In the beginning, there was actually room for negotiation with Fan Chengyan.
But at the Xuanying Conference, you injured Sang Moyuan.
With all the new and old grudges piled up together, she was completely unwilling to talk about it.
The Palace Master had previously used the power of Zhuming Palace to invite many forces to help suppress Wulan Villa.
But now, many forces are starting to wait and see."
The second elder paused when he spoke here.
He was observing Su Chen's expression to decide what to say next.
“Elder Su, you also know about Fan Chengyan.
In the State of Jin, he has always been domineering and reckless.
The Palace Master has tried his best, but the grudges between them are simply impossible to resolve.
Wulan Villa is another large sect with even greater power behind it.
Zhu Ming Palace is now standing at a critical node.
If we continue to fight with Wulan Villa and Fan Chengyan, we will probably miss the opportunity for development."
Having said that, everything is very clear.
Zhu Minggong was unwilling to help him and wanted to stop the confrontation with Wulan Villa.
“Elder Su, in our Zhuming Palace, you are still the palace elder.
All the elders of Zhuming Palace, including the Palace Master, remember your contribution.
If you need anything, just write and send it back to the palace.
But at this stage, we need to stabilize the overall situation.
Zhu Minggong wanted to continue to lead, and he really didn't have the energy to fight with Wulan Villa.
so."
These words were actually what Su Chen expected.
Su Chen had already thought of all this shortly after the Second Elder began to speak.
What do you want to say in person?
If you are still complaining at the beginning, then it must be news that is not favorable to you.
"Elder Su?"
Seeing that Su Chen did not answer, the second elder hesitated for a moment and asked again.
"Don't worry, Second Elder. I understand Zhu Ming Palace's decision."
Since they came to me and said these things to my face, then everything must have been discussed clearly within Zhu Ming Palace.
These words are the conclusions they have already reached.
“Elder Su, Zhu Ming Palace’s information network is quite extensive in Jin State.
Although Zhu Ming Palace does not have the spare energy to fight against Wu Lan Villa now, this information network can still give you considerable help.
Here is a map that marks the information collection points set up by the palace in various places.
If you need anything, such as finding out Fan Chengyan's location, you can ask them."
As he spoke, the second elder also pushed the map in front of Su Chen.
But how much help can these really provide?
If these intelligence networks are not in a central location, they will not be able to collect core information.
For example, the news network on the west side will definitely not know the situation on the east side.
I found the information network on the west side. Even if they told me everything they knew, I would only get information from one side.
Su Chen could see that Zhu Minggong still had good intentions towards him.
I am grateful for the value I have demonstrated and their kindness.
But for his own sake, he risked his life to go completely against Wulan Villa.
The top officials of Zhu Ming Palace could not make up their minds to create a deep hatred with the tyrannical Fan Chengyan.
It is not appropriate to say that you have given up helping yourself.
As far as Zhu Minggong was concerned, he was only willing to help himself secretly from now on.
In addition, the alliance between Qilou and Liuli Pavilion had a huge impact on Zhu Ming Palace. They were worried that after they had a grudge with Fan Chengyan, they would not be able to maintain their previous status.
A variety of reasons came together and finally led to this decision.
The two had a simple lunch together and didn't talk about anything more.
The Second Elder had explained everything that needed to be said and there was no need to stay any longer.
After leaving Tonglu City, the second elder went directly to Zuixiang City, located in the north of Tonglu City.
This time when they went to meet Su Chen, in order to prevent the news from spreading, everyone else was waiting here in Zuixiang City.
In fact, it can also be seen from here how Zhu Minggong feels about Su Chen.
It is important, but not too important.
Here in Zuixiang City, everyone who came with Zhu Minggong is waiting here.
Seeing the second elder coming back, the people who came with him hurried up to inquire about the situation.
"Elder Su, he"
“It’s nothing, Elder Su’s temperament has always been like that, he accepted it very calmly.
Didn’t even ask any more questions.”
Hearing this, the people around him said nothing more.
Zhu Minggong treated Su Chen like this, and it was already very decent that Su Chen did not fall out with them.
It's impossible that you are not nice to others and they will continue to treat you the same way as before.
After talking for a few words, the second elder asked the younger generation to rest.
Only keep some core members around you.
Many people know that Su Chen has made contributions to Zhuming Palace. After all, he was appointed as the elder of Zhuming Palace at such a young age.
But most people don’t know what this contribution is.
Only the core members around the Second Elder knew about this.
Seeing the younger generation leave, they talked a little more.
One of them frowned, with some worry on his face.
"Second Elder, if we let Elder Su leave like this, will he just give up?
After all, he still has the technique of making jade elixir."
This person's concerns are also the concerns of many other people.
The reason why the jade elixir refining technique is precious is mainly because few people have mastered this technique.
Including Zhuming Palace, there are only Qilou and Liuli Pavilion, a total of three sects.
Once the jade pills are refined, no one is allowed to take them away.
If you want to take it, you must swallow it under supervision.
The three sects all guarded this set of refining techniques extremely closely.
Zhu Minggong said this to Su Chen this time, there is no guarantee that Su Chen would not give away the jade elixir refining technique in exchange for benefits.
Hearing what the people around him said, the second elder smiled helplessly.
“I was in the palace at the time, and I actually told the Palace Master about this.
In my opinion, even if Zhu Minggong can no longer be a backer for Elder Su, it is best not to tell him.
Perhaps it would be better for us to keep it a secret for a while.
But when I said this that day, I was scolded by the Palace Master."
Hearing this, the others around nodded in understanding.
“The Palace Master has that kind of personality. He thinks Elder Su has helped us so much, so what we are doing now is inappropriate, right?
Second Elder, it would be strange if you were not scolded by the Palace Master for your suggestions. "
The core members of Zhu Ming Palace have been with Yao Wen for many years and are familiar with their palace master.
Palace Master Yao's character is indeed very upright.
Especially if someone has done Zhu Minggong a favor, he will definitely remember it.
Yao Wen felt guilty for not being able to provide more help this time, which made him feel sad recently.
Yao Wen's temper caused Zhu Ming Palace to suffer a lot of losses under his leadership.
But everything has its pros and cons.
I lost a lot, but I also gained a lot because of these.
Moreover, if Yao Wenruo did not have such a character, how could so many people under Zhu Ming Palace obey him so much?
A noble character is a rare personal charm.
A big reason why so many people follow Yao Wen is because of his personal charm.
Speaking of which, the Second Elder wasn't too worried about these things.
“This matter is actually not that bad.
It is possible that Elder Su will seek refuge with other forces, but think about it, which force can he seek help from?
Zhu Minggong and Fan Chengyan’s tough confrontation is very troublesome. Can other sects do it?
The more widely the jade elixir refining technique spreads, the lower its value becomes.
The benefits that Elder Su wants to gain will also be reduced.
Elder Su is very smart. He no longer teaches the techniques of jade elixir to outsiders, and he can still maintain contact with our Zhuming Palace.
In the future, when our Zhu Ming Palace has overcome difficulties and our strength and foundation have been greatly improved, he can still seek shelter from us."
The second elder’s analysis was very logical.
In his opinion, the hatred between Su Chen and Fan Chengyan.
This will force Su Chen to hide from place to place for the next few decades.
Zhu Ming Palace cannot provide protection openly, but can still give Su Chen a lot of help.
As long as Su Chen carefully analyzes the pros and cons, he will be able to make the right choice.
After hearing what the Second Elder said, several core alchemists in Zhu Ming Palace nodded.
But they actually had a lot of misjudgments about Su Chen.
From the very beginning, Su Chen never thought of relying on Zhu Minggong to deal with Fan Chengyan.
All we want is to contain Zhu Ming Palace.
But they didn't know whether they were thinking too much or they couldn't even restrain it.
So I made this choice today.
After a short rest, the second elder led the others south.
This time I came out not just for Su Chen.
After explaining everything to Su Chen, the next thing to do is the serious business.
In Tonglu City, after Su Chen talked with the second elder of Zhuming Palace, he proceeded to the next step according to his plan.
After entering the fifth level middle realm from the fifth level initial realm, Su Chen's assessment of his own strength should have surpassed Sang Moyuan.
The people from Wulan Villa threatened him and his family everywhere.
Fan Chengyan is even more domineering.
After becoming enemies with her, Su Chen could not attend many public occasions.
After going there, I met Fan Chengyan.
No matter who is present, Fan Chengyan and Fan Badao will take action.
The reputation of being a tyrant is not something that is earned lightly.
In the past, I was the one who was threatened and in danger.
But now, he has been promoted to the middle level of the fifth grade.
Face Sang Moyuan again, including Jun Han who helped him at the Xuanying Conference.
Su Chen had seen their strength and had his own judgment of them.
If he had tried his best, he would have won a fair fight with Sang Moyuan at the Xuanying Conference.
Now that he is one step closer, without the help of others, he will die in his own hands.
Not to mention, if he wanted to attack Sang Moyuan, it would be a surprise attack from the bottom of the world.
With his current strength, how can he withstand my assassination?
The only thing you need to pay attention to is that there will be many strong people around Sang Moyuan.
I had also heard Palace Master Yao Wen talk about this before in Zhuming Palace.
Sang Moyuan is not only Fan Chengyan's apprentice, but his family background is also remarkable, and the Sang family seems to have some capabilities.
But even if I fail this time, it doesn’t matter.
As long as I take action and make them feel threatened, I will be successful.
We need to let them know that they cannot act without any scruples when attacking us. (End of this chapter)
