If I had known I wouldn't have saved you!

Chapter 266 Storage

Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly checked their own Qi seas, and when they discovered that their immortal power was expanding their Qi seas, they all showed joy on their faces.

"Thank you Holy Emperor!"

"I will never forget the grace of the Holy Emperor for giving me a new life!"

"It's hard to find a miraculous elixir like this in the world!"

Seeing that everyone's faces changed again, those monks who had not taken the elixir began to hesitate again, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

Lin Shiyi added more fuel to the fire and said, "The effect of this elixir is not limited to this. If my cultivation level improves in the future, you will also share a lot of benefits. If I ascend to the realm of refining emptiness, your cultivation level may soar straight into the sky and reach the late stage of transformation of spirit... This is called a tree with deep roots and luxuriant branches and leaves."

After hearing this, Gu Jie and Hong Lan immediately bowed and said, "The Holy Emperor's grace is as great as the sea. How dare we not die for him!"

The leaders of those branch offices also surrendered one by one. As a result, very few of the remaining monks left, and they all stayed willingly.

This principle of giving a slap in the face and a date in return is an eternal truth for those in power. Those who value affection and loyalty can be persuaded by emotion and reason, but those who are heartless and ungrateful can only be restrained by interests and threats.

Seeing that everyone surrendered, Lin Shiyi comforted them, "You should all have heard of my name as the Alchemy Immortal. I will continue to refine pills in the future. If you eat them, your cultivation will be improved, but you will also be subject to my constraints. If you don't eat them, you will not get any benefits. It is up to you to decide whether to eat them or not."

After Lin Shiyi finished speaking, everyone bowed in admiration and no one raised any objections.

Seeing this, he said to Gu Jie and Hong Lan, "Since you two have surrendered, you are our people. I would like to trouble you two to bring your monks to find Xiao Yu and Zuo Lian. They will manage you from now on."

"what?"

Hong Lan was stunned for a moment, and seemed a little dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to get angry. He could only plead with a shameless face: "Eleventh Brother... No, Saint Emperor, forget about Senior Brother Gu Jie, can I not follow Xiao Yu and Zuo Lian, can I follow you? How about you directly govern me?"

As she spoke, she blinked at Lin Shiyi with a shy look.

Lin Shiyi rolled his eyes and said, "Stop talking nonsense and go quickly! Otherwise, the people behind me will not be able to bear it and will come to kill us!"

Gu Jie was shocked and quickly pulled Hong Lan and took the monks to the rear to apologize.

Seeing that the problem was resolved, Lin Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be best if he could avoid fighting. Now he could directly use the Qiankun Pill to take the lives of these leaders, and he was not afraid that they would play tricks.

Gu Jie and Hong Lan brought many cultivators to the front of the main army and found Zuo Lian and Xiao Yu. Zuo Lian snorted coldly and said nothing, but Xiao Yu looked puzzled, not knowing what they wanted to do. Gu Jie and Hong Lan looked at each other, not knowing how to start the conversation.

Hong Lan and Xiao Yu and Zuo Lian had fought many times before. Now that they had surrendered, they naturally couldn't lose face. It was Gu Jie who spoke first: "Senior Brother Xiao Yu, Senior Sister Zuo Lian, Junior Sister Hong Lan and I have surrendered. The Holy Emperor has placed us under the jurisdiction of Senior Brothers and Sisters. I hope that Senior Brothers and Sisters will put aside the past grudges and allow us to make up for our crimes and make meritorious contributions."

After saying that, Gu Jie pulled Hong Lan and asked her to say something quickly.

Hong Lan immediately lowered his head, and reluctantly bowed his hands and said: "Senior Brother...Senior Sister, I'm sorry for offending you before, I hope you can forgive me..."

Xiao Yu was indifferent to worldly matters and had a gentle personality. He immediately smiled and said, "You two don't have to be polite. Since you have surrendered to the Holy Emperor, we are all colleagues from now on. There is no need to be polite."

Gu Jie was immediately overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Hong Lan also changed her opinion of Xiao Yu. She had fought with Xiao Yu the most and thought that she would be humiliated by being controlled by others. However, Xiao Yu had no such intention at all. She immediately felt much better and bowed politely. She said sincerely, "I didn't expect Senior Brother Xiao to be so open-minded. Hong Lan is really ashamed..."

Xiao Yu smiled calmly and said, "What are you two saying? In the past, we each served our own masters, but now it is different. Let the past be the past."

Seeing that they were chatting happily, Zuo Lian was not happy. She glared at Hong Lan and said to Xiao Yu angrily: "Okay, you two love each other, right... Well, don't come to me anymore!"

After saying that, she flew towards the Thunder Ship without looking back.

"Lian'er!"

Xiao Yu shouted, but seeing that she still didn't stop, he could only shake his head helplessly.

Then he said to Gu Jie and Hong Lan, "You two can bring your monks to clear the way for the Thunder Ship. I have some personal matters to attend to, so I will not accompany you."

Gu Jie and Hong Lan both hurriedly bowed and said, "Brother Xiao, please do as you please."

The two watched Xiao Yu fly towards the Thunder Ship, each with their own thoughts in mind.

Hong Lan's eyes flickered, and he said absentmindedly: "It turns out that Xiao Yu is not prejudiced against me, but we each serve our own masters, so he has to deal with me... I misjudged him before..."

Seeing this, Gu Jie looked at her and immediately said playfully: "Junior sister...you are not in love with him, are you?"

Hong Lan glared at him and said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense here!"

Seeing her angry, Gu Jie couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. When you were in seclusion, you often muttered Xiao Yu's name like a dream. When you entered the Lower Corpse Realm before, you kept talking about Xiao Yu and Lin Shiyi. Those obscene words made me, a senior brother, feel anxious after hearing them. How dare you say that you don't have any thoughts about these two men?"

Hong Lan was furious and glared, "That's because they won't be affected by my Drunken Flower Technique, so I became obsessed with them. I've played with so many men! How could I be tempted by them?"

This was the truth. She was only stuck on this issue because her martial arts could not deal with these two people. Now, after the lesson in the Lower Corpse Realm, this mentality has been suppressed. But now she has a complicated feeling towards Xiao Yu, and she herself doesn't know what it is.

Seeing that she was angry, Gu Jie quickly waved his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything. Is it that serious? Are you so angry with me, Senior Brother?"

At this time, Lin Shiyi also flew over. He glanced at the two of them and asked, "How is it, what did Xiaoyu and Zuo Lian say?"

Gu Jie hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Highness, Senior Brother Xiao has accepted us and ordered us to clear the way for the Thunder Ship. However, Senior Sister Zuo Lian is a little unhappy."

Hong Lan also followed suit and said, "Saint Emperor, since Senior Sister Zuo Lian doesn't want to, then we will be under Senior Brother Xiao's jurisdiction."

Hearing this, Lin Shiyi nodded and said, "Well, it's settled. Go and clear the way."

"Yes."

The two men agreed and flew in front of the Thunder Ship with their respective monks.

Lin Shiyi was silently thinking about the matter of the Red Refining God, and also flew towards the Thunder Ship.
