Chapter 1518 Testing and Boasting
Chapter 1518 Testing and Boasting
The long table resembled a conference table, which was common in Ye Feng's previous life, but was relatively rare in this world.
With both sides seated on opposite sides, Ye Feng truly felt a return to the miserable life he had in his previous life, working like a beast of burden at a company.
Ye Feng said, "Sect Leader Luo, our two sects are neighbors, and I am a junior. I should have gone to Luo Ying Sect to pay my respects to Sect Leader Luo. However, I have been traveling in the mortal world recently and just returned here yesterday. I was just about to send someone to deliver a visiting card to you when I didn't expect that Sect Leader Luo's visiting card would arrive first. I am truly ashamed."
Luo Feiyun said, "Sect Leader Ye, there's no need to worry about such trivial matters. There was a misunderstanding between our two sects some time ago. Upon learning that Sect Leader Ye has returned to the mountain, I, Luo, have come to pay my respects."
Ye Feng said, "Yes, I heard about this matter after I came back yesterday. Actually, I bear a lot of responsibility for this. When I chose to establish my sect, I did not investigate thoroughly. I chose this place because the cave was empty and had been abandoned for many years."
If we had spent a few more days surveying back then, the site wouldn't have ended up right next to your Luoyingzong Temple. Alas, I truly regret it now.
Now that the Holy Maiden Sect has settled down here, relocating would be a waste of resources and time. Therefore, our two sects will only be neighbors from now on. If any of my disciples behave improperly in the future, I hope Sect Leader Luo will be magnanimous and not hold it against them.”
Since Luo Feiyun came in, only Ye Feng has been talking to him.
Whether it was Huang Li and other high-ranking members of the Holy Maiden Sect, or Ling Yin, Chu Liunian, Ling Yunzhi, Luan Xiong and others, they all just watched quietly from the side without saying a word.
People like Ling Yunzhi, Lingyin, and Chu Liunian are not only prominent figures in the human world, but they also hold extremely high positions in their respective sects.
Their status dictates that they are accustomed to communicating directly with those in positions of authority.
At this moment, they were all willing to sit next to Ye Feng, serving as supporting characters to him.
No one spoke out of turn.
Hearing Ye Feng's rambling words, these people secretly found it amusing.
However, in such a serious occasion, one cannot laugh out loud, which is quite uncomfortable.
Luo Feiyun said, "Sect Leader Ye is so young, yet he was able to create such a large sect in such a short time. Creating a cultivation sect is not as simple as a martial arts gang. It requires not only cultivation techniques but also a large number of magic treasures."
I observe that each of your sect's disciples wields a celestial sword, and of considerable quality, which suggests that Sect Leader Ye has an extraordinary background.
May I ask who Master Ye's master was? Perhaps I am an old acquaintance of your teacher.
Inquiring about the origins of the Holy Maiden Sect, and the mysterious origins of this person, is one of Luo Feiyun's main purposes for visiting the mountain today.
Only by knowing your enemy and yourself can you win every battle.
A sect cannot be developed casually. Cultivating true techniques is relatively easy, as a single mental cultivation method can be passed on to all disciples.
But magical artifacts are a different story.
If purchased solely with gold and silver, the more than 300 immortal swords held by the Saintess Sect's 300 female disciples would amount to an astronomical sum, unaffordable for most.
Moreover, these girls' cultivation progressed very quickly. When Luo Ying Sect first discovered this place, only a few girls from the Holy Maiden Sect had reached the Flying Realm.
In just two months, more than half of the female disciples had reached the level of flying.
This cultivation speed can only be described as terrifying.
It's impossible for every one of these girls to be a rare, exceptional woman.
The only explanation is that the Holy Maiden Sect not only possesses extremely powerful cultivation techniques, but also has abundant cultivation resources.
Only by showering these girls with cultivation resources such as pills, spirit stones, rare and precious herbs, and thousand-year-old immortal mushrooms, regardless of cost, could so many girls be transformed from ordinary mortals into cultivators capable of flying on swords in a short period of time.
The person in front of him, Ye Dalong, was just a teenager. Luo Feiyun naturally did not believe that the other party had such extraordinary abilities at such a young age.
Anyone with a brain knows that Ye Dalong must have an extremely powerful backer behind him.
This powerful backer might not be an individual, but rather a sect or an organization.
Otherwise, the other party could not possibly possess so many cultivation resources and high-grade immortal swords and magical treasures.
The clever Ye Feng understood the meaning behind Luo Feiyun's words.
He chuckled and said, "Sect Leader Luo, it's not convenient for me to say where I come from, where the Holy Maiden Sect comes from, or who my master is. Please forgive me, Sect Leader Luo."
The more Ye Feng said this, the more Luo Feiyun felt that his guess was correct.
At this moment, Luo Feiyun was secretly pondering.
Could it be that a major sect wants to extend its reach into Tianyun Mountain?
But that's unrealistic now. The Yunhai Sect is at its zenith, and no major power, whether Buddhist sect or Jade Maiden Sect, dares to provoke it.
If any external force were to infiltrate Tianyun Mountain, the Yunhai Sect would certainly retaliate.
But what other reason could there be besides this?
They couldn't possibly be after their Luoying Sect, could they?
Thinking of this, Luo Feiyun felt a chill run down his spine.
Why is that not possible?
Their Luoying Sect occupies the best location in the northeast corner of the Tianyun Mountains. Their current territory was painstakingly acquired over hundreds of years, and it might just become someone else's target.
Perhaps the other side is hesitant to directly attack the Luoying Sect because of their fellow righteous sects, otherwise the Yunhai Sect would definitely intervene. That's why they sent several hundred people here to establish their own sect and gradually encroach on the Luoying Sect's territory.
Luo Feiyun was slightly startled. He looked at the handsome young man in front of him and said indifferently, "Since Sect Master Ye is not comfortable revealing the origin of his sect, I will not ask any further questions. My Luoying Sect has been established here for a thousand years and has nearly a thousand disciples. It can be considered a leading sect within a hundred miles. Naturally, we are tolerant of others."
Perhaps because he is young, Sect Leader Ye is unaware of many things and rules. In the cultivation world, there is an unwritten rule that each sect should maintain a certain distance from each other.
If you were just a dozen or so independent cultivators occupying this place and living in seclusion, my Luoying Sect would certainly welcome you warmly. However, since you have raised the banner of a sect and have more than three hundred disciples, it is indeed inappropriate for you to establish a sect here.
Besides, this place is just a cave in the mountain; no matter how it's carved out, it's not suitable for the sect's development.
Ye Feng nodded and said, "Sect Leader Luo, you are absolutely right. There are only a few caves and stone chambers here. As the sect leader, I occupy one, and dozens of disciples live in the other caves and stone chambers. Although the disciples have been quite diligent in the past few months and have carved out a few more caves and stone chambers, it is still too crowded for more than 300 people to live here."
Moreover, our sect is a newly established sect, and we will need to recruit more disciples in the future.
According to the sect's plan, the number of disciples will double in one year, and the number of disciples should reach two thousand in five years.
This time I returned to expand this place. I plan to use this cave as the center and carry out large-scale construction in the valley, building a main hall, 800 rooms for disciples to live in, and carving out more than a thousand caves on the cliffs on both sides for disciples to cultivate and live in.
However, such a large project cannot be completed in three to five months; it is estimated to take three to five years. At that time, I would appreciate Sect Leader Luo's assistance.
