Chapter 101 The First Foundation Establishment Stage Sect Leader in History
Seeing Ruan Xing's expression suddenly changed, Ruan Tao quickly explained: "Don't worry, he didn't do anything. He was just... uh, listening to music in Lichunfang when he was scolded by a few jealous playboys and killed everyone on the first floor."
Hu San was explaining to Jian Lai how to set up the tent. He brought cloth, tools, and bedding. Hearing this, he said, "The letter sent by the young lady said that other people should not know about this kind of thing that is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Don't worry, the city is full of our people, and the news has been blocked."
Ruan Xing suddenly remembered, "I remember Jiangning City is a little far from here, how did you get here so quickly? Also, what does it mean that all the people in the city are ours?"
The two of them can't fly swords, so they shouldn't be so fast.
Hu San scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "It's all thanks to Wang Dongxing. His business is pretty good. Last year, I wanted to write you a letter and send you some money, but you didn't summon the sword, so I took the initiative to let Wang Dongxing use the money from the gang's industries to develop new industries. Now Lichunfang and Honglou have opened in several surrounding towns. There are no established gangs in these places, so I took over all of them. The annual gift to the Patrol Security Division is a bit more generous. In addition, Young Master Liu also gave us a heads-up, so we didn't encounter any difficulties."
"So, we stayed in the town closest to the barrier before. Jian Lai sent us the message, so we hurried here."
"Oh, that's good." Ruan Xing nodded to show that he understood.
Fortunately, Hu San and others actively developed the gang.
Otherwise, if the Demon Lord causes trouble in the city, all kinds of bizarre means will emerge to cause panic among the people. The Imperial Master Palace will definitely know about it, and then she will have to run away again.
Although the National Master is also in the Jindan stage and may not be defeated, she is seriously injured and very vulnerable. Moreover, this is the National Master's home court. It would be terrible if the barrier tree has some mysterious functions.
She didn't want to lose this mysterious base yet.
Jianlai went to set up the tent with his things. Ruan Tao changed the subject, "Do you want to see your mother?"
Ruan Xing did not have a deep memory of her mother, because she only stayed in that house for more than half a month after she traveled through time. Her mother went out early and came back late, and they rarely spoke to each other. The person she spent the most time with was Ruan Tao, so she did not develop any feelings for her mother.
She asked Hu San to give money to Ruan's mother every month, purely as compensation for occupying this body and out of love for Ruan Tao.
But Ruan Tao would not bring this up for no reason, so Ruan Xing asked, "What happened to mother?"
Ruan Tao's eyes dimmed, "She got married at the beginning of the year. I received news a few days ago that she is already two months pregnant."
Ruan Xing was silent for a while.
Although Ruan Tao kept saying that she was disappointed with her mother, she actually still had some expectations in her heart.
It's just that the mother once again made the wrong choice between the man and her daughter.
"Since she has a new family, don't bother her. Sister, you are all I need."
Ruan Tao pulled the corner of her mouth, "From now on, you are the only one I will have. I will definitely practice the skills you taught me well and try to help you in the future."
"Don't worry, take your time." Ruan Xing comforted her and released Shen Lingyun from the storage bag. She closed her eyes, had no breathing or heartbeat, and her body was cold. If it weren't for her limbs being still flexible, she would look more like a corpse than a puppet.
Not bad though.
Ruan Xing pointed at her and said, "This is the master I found for you. But she has had an accident and is in a coma. She will be fine after a few days. I also brought you some things, the same pills as before. I will teach you how to use this storage bag."
As she spoke, she threw several storage bags that she had bought in the town into the barrier and asked Ruan Tao and Hu San to pick them up and try how to use them.
After the greetings, Ruan Xing sent a message to the Demon Lord through the mind link.
The Demon Lord soon appeared, looking somewhat excited.
"where have you been?"
He chuckled, "This barrier is really interesting, don't you think?"
Haha, it’s interesting. The only mortal regime in the world of immortal cultivation is the feudal dynasty.
Ruan Xing said speechlessly: "Don't make trouble, the water is very deep here, you can't control it."
"Don't worry, I saw it." The Demon Lord shrugged and said, "There is a very scary giant in the center of this barrier. I feel like it has many eyes, watching everything in the barrier, but it seems to be in a deep sleep now. I didn't get too close, so I don't know what it is for the time being. It would be bad if I woke it up."
"I've seen it. It's a tree." Ruan Xing described the tree roots that he saw soaking in a pool several dozen meters underground. "Demon Lord, you are a giant of the magic world and have extensive knowledge. Do you know what kind of tree this is?"
The Demon Lord spread his hands, "The trees in this world are basically the same as the tree roots you mentioned, but they look a little weird in your eyes. Can you describe the distribution of the branches of this tree, the shape of the leaves, and what kind of flowers and fruits it bears?"
Ruan Xing was stunned.
She had never seen what the barrier tree looked like. Even once at the Star Picking Platform in the Imperial Master's residence, which was the highest place in the entire Imperial Master's Palace, she had never seen anything like a tree.
This shouldn't be possible. With such huge roots, the trunk must be at least ten meters thick and several hundred meters tall.
But she had never seen one... Thinking carefully, why did she think that a bunch of things soaking in the strange pool of water were trees? It was the little Taoist boy who introduced it to her, saying that it was called a barrier tree.
"Trees can't have eyes. I think it was an unknown living creature, maybe some ancient monster? But I won't know until I see it. If you see it as a tree, it may be because it doesn't want you to see it."
Ruan Xing pondered, "If what you said is true, then the sect that raises this kind of monster is evil, right? Do you know this kind of practice that relies on literary energy and official luck to practice?"
"Many sects have monsters, right? It depends on what they are used for. As for literary luck and official luck... I have heard a little bit about it, but I have never seen it. At that time, there were too many sects interfering in the affairs of mortals. Even if you start as an official from a mortal, you cannot get pure literary luck and official luck. It has been lost long ago. I didn't expect that after thousands of years, I can still see their inheritance in a place like this. It's interesting. They built a country by themselves, and there are no immortal cultivators in this country. It's really a big deal."
The Demon Lord clapped his hands and laughed.
However, Ruan Xing caught some information from the words of the Demon Lord.
In the era when the Demon Lord lived, there were still mortal dynasties, but they were already in name only. From the information she had learned, there had been no mortal regimes in the world of immortal cultivation for five or six thousand years, so the Demon Lord was a figure from at least six thousand years ago.
Or maybe even earlier.
But the Jintai Secret Realm has only been around for less than a thousand years.
She began to have a headache. Why were other people's cultivation so smooth? For example, the fairy stayed safely in the sect and cultivated to the Spirit Transformation Stage. Although it was also due to her extraordinary talent, the fairy had never encountered any difficulties or dangers since she was a child. If it weren't for the battle between fairies and demons on the Xiantai Tree, her sect would have had to send her out to participate in the battle. She might have stayed in the sect all the way to the Ascension stage.
And wherever she goes, trouble comes.
He's almost Conan.
"Forget it, let's not think about it for now." Ruan Xing shook her head. When she has the strength, she will naturally explore the barrier tree. Now is not the time.
"Demon Lord, this is the person I need you to inherit." Ruan Xing pointed at Hu San and said, Hu San stood up nervously. The Demon Lord looked at him with some disdain, "He doesn't look sinister or cunning at all, he looks honest, he doesn't have the temperament of a demon cultivator."
"Hey, you're wrong about that." Ruan Xingyi said, "People are more likely to be fooled if they look honest. Look at you, you have an extraordinary appearance and are very handsome, so fairies are always on guard against you, right?"
The Demon Lord stroked his chin, "That makes sense."
"That's fine, but his third level of Qi training is a bit low. I'll ask him to prepare some things later and give him some energy tonight." The Demon Lord said, "The disciple you prepared for me seems to have some influence among mortals. Not bad. I'm not going to leave now, so I'll let him stay and honor me."
"You're not leaving?" Ruan Xing was horrified. "You want to stay in this barrier?"
"Yes, it's very interesting. I'll study it."
"No, there are only mortals inside the barrier. You are acting so high-profile that you will be discovered by the National Master Palace sooner or later. You can't stay here." Ruan Xing flatly refused.
"Hehe." The Demon Lord smiled evilly, "What's it to you?"
Ruan Xing choked.
"Don't worry, I'll stay, and the fairy will stay too. With her temper, she won't let me do anything rash. And I think it's safer for her and I to stay here." The Demon Lord touched his nose, with a trace of loneliness on his face. "I found out in that town yesterday that the Demon Sect is declining in this era. My previous sect was in Nanzhou, and I'm afraid it has been destroyed long ago. Now that the fairy and I are evil creatures, we don't have strong power to rely on. If we rashly walk outside, we might be killed by a Yuanying Zhenjun one day."
Ruan Xing was unmoved, "You can go to the North."
The Demon Lord rolled his eyes and said, "Everyone flocks to good places, otherwise why did we fight for the Xiantai Tree in the first place? Only poor mountains and bad waters are where criminals are exiled, I won't go there."
The Demon Lord refused to listen to any persuasion, and Ruan Xing had no other options. He could only say in frustration, "You'd better not cause trouble in the barrier."
"Don't be angry." The Demon Lord reached out and rubbed Ruan Xing's head a few times, messing up her tied hair and causing Ruan Xing to glare at him. He said nonchalantly: "In order to compensate you, I decided to help you teach a few more apprentices for free. I have a lot of magic skills in my mind. You can still choose the candidates. How about it, generous enough?"
"What?" Ruan Xing was startled, then asked suspiciously, "You don't want to start from here and revive the Demon Sect, do you?"
"How can this be possible? How much waves can such a few people stir up? They are just killing time. What do you think about it?"
Ruan Xing didn’t really care about the distinction between immortals and demons, and she knew that in a dozen years or so, the Demon Sect would usher in a period of glory that would last for an unknown period of time.
The Demon Lord's proposal was more beneficial than harmful to her. She had always wanted to build her own power in the world of immortal cultivation. Although she had a few more demon cultivators under her command...how could it not count?
More than ten years later, when these disciples grew to the Golden Core Stage, the Demon Sect also became powerful, which was just right.
Although the waiting time is a bit long.
"That's fine." Ruan Xing nodded.
"Then let's give this sect a name? You can name it since you are the sect leader." The Demon Lord raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Isn't it... such a big step? Is it just the stage of becoming the clan leader?
She just wanted to form a small gang-like force to do things for herself...
However, Ruan Xing quickly convinced himself that there had never been such a person before or since in the entire world of immortal cultivation, the first sect leader in the middle stage of foundation building!
It will be out of the oven soon.
"Let's call it Fengling Yueying Sect." Ruan Xing said.
"It's a bit long. Fengling Sect is fine, but let's remove the Moon Shadow." The Demon Lord commented.
Ruan Xing couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Are you trying to bring something up here? Xie Feng's Feng or Shen Lingyun's Ling? Just call it this name, and you are not allowed to refute it."
"It's up to you. I don't care." The Demon Lord shrugged.
Thus, on this ordinary yet extraordinary day, the Fengling Yueying Sect was established.
While Ruan Xing was recuperating from her injuries, she was also making plans for the sect. She was the sect leader, Ruan Tao and Hu San were deputy sect leaders, the Demon Lord and the Fairy were supreme elders, and the other disciples accepted by the Demon Lord were the first generation of disciples of the Fengling Yueying Sect.
As for the operating model, Ruan Xing hasn't figured it out yet. She doesn't want to support inner disciples in the same way as other sects do because she is very stingy.
The Demon Lord suggested that they follow the Demon Sect's training method, raising Gu, and whoever has the ability will survive.
However, this was rejected by Ruan Xing. First, she didn't have so many people to be used as consumables, and second, she felt it was a bit too cruel.
For now, let’s select a few suitable ones from the gang, and then we can talk about other things after the sect has taken shape.
Because the Demon Lord was beside her, she didn't dare to refine the two corpses in the storage bag as puppets, for fear that the Demon Lord would steal her skills.
The Demon Lord went to Hu San and whispered a few words, then disappeared at night. When Ruan Xing saw Hu San again the next day, he was surprised to find out, "How did you build your foundation?"
"What a fuss! Isn't it normal to have the inheritance infuse the body and build the foundation? If it weren't for my current drastic drop in strength, I should be in the late stage of foundation building after the infusion."
Ruan Xing curled her lips, "Then how many more can you inject into their bodies?"
"That won't work. It will damage your vitality." The Demon Lord shook his head.
This saves Ruan Xing a Foundation Establishment Pill, which is good.
Ruan Xing asked Hu San to select a few trustworthy people in the gang and have them practice the basic Qi training formulas. If they can feel the Qi, it can prove that they have spiritual bones even if they cannot draw Qi.
There was no other way, she still had no spirit stone to measure...she could only continue to use this stupid method.
Five days later, when the fairy woke up, the sky seemed to have fallen.
"What Fengling Yueying Sect? Grand Elder? I have my own sect. I am from the Xuanji Sect!"
"What? My disciple is the deputy leader of this sect?"
"What!? This sect is full of demonic cultivators!?"
