Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

"I have an idea."

Yu Changsheng slapped his forehead, a gleam of brilliance appeared in his eyes, and he spoke in a low voice.

"Oh?"

Elder Wei was startled, then he perked up, looked at Yu Changsheng curiously, and asked:

"Tell me, what can I do?"

"Um………"

Yu Changsheng pondered for a while, then slowly said, "Master, do you still remember the group of demon cultivator pirates who came to our Lingkuang Island a few days ago?"

"Remember, didn't you destroy them all? What does it matter?" Old Wei was even more confused and looked puzzled.

"Haha." Yu Changsheng smiled mysteriously and nodded, "That's very important. Master, tell me, in the entire North Sea, compared to our South Sea, what is the most common and most distinctive profession?"

"Ah?" Old Wei's expression changed. He looked at Yu Chang's opinion strangely, but lowered his head and thought carefully.

"Compared to the South Region, this is the most common and unique profession in the entire North Sea..."

Mr. Wei pondered for a moment, then a trace of suspicion appeared in his eyes, and he spoke uncertainly:
"I think it's pirates?"

"Yes, that's right." Yu Changsheng laughed, nodded decisively and said with a smile:

"Master, you are right. It is pirates. Your sea is all ocean. The sea is vast. It is difficult to patrol the boundless sea. Therefore, pirates are a special profession. Most of them are composed of independent cultivators without any sect or power."

"They make their living by robbing passing merchant ships and some small islands for support. The pirates have different cultivation levels, but most of them are at the Jindan level, with a small number at the Zifu level. As for those with higher levels, they will basically be respected wherever they go because of their outstanding status. There is no need for them to become pirates, a profession that is discriminated against and risky."

"so……"

Mr. Wei nodded and listened quietly. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and his heart was already at peace.

"So what you mean is..."

"Haha," Yu Changsheng laughed, raised his eyebrows, and said lightly: "My meaning is very clear. That is to say, pirates themselves can also be used as a kind of human resources, and there is no other force behind them. We can capture them and use them as miners in Lingkuang Island."

"The pirates in this sea area are already very rampant and everyone wants to kill us. This can be regarded as a way to make them change their ways and become good people again, to eliminate the scourge and benefit others. Over the years, the pirates in this sea area have been rampant like night. If we don't stop them, there will only be more tragedies. It's time to clean them up."

Pirate, in the North Sea, is a frustrating and headache-inducing profession, but Yu Changsheng now has different expectations for it.

"So why don't we kill two birds with one stone? We can capture pirates and use them as laborers on the mining island. They actually like to burn, kill and rob. So we can reform them. Even if we exploit them, outsiders won't say anything when they find out. They will just feel proud and praise us. It's reasonable."

Yu Changsheng laughed, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter. He pursed his lips, pondered for half a second, swallowed his saliva quietly, and continued:
"As for the pirates we encounter in the North Sea, they are basically not organized by the True God of Transformation. Below the second level of the True God of Transformation, the ordinary Purple Mansion or Golden Core pirate groups are not dangerous to us. Even if the quota given by the Phosphate Mine Island is relatively large this time, as long as we can add a few more Purple Mansion pirates, it will be more than enough to complete this quota before the end of the year."

"After all, the amount of mining that a Purple Mansion cultivator can produce in a day is dozens of times more than that of a Golden Core cultivator."

After Yu Changsheng finished speaking, he coughed twice lightly and stopped talking. Instead, he looked at Mr. Wei with a lively face, waiting for him to speak.

"If you say that..."

Elder Wei was stunned at first, then he looked at Yu Changsheng's confident look and couldn't help but ponder. After a while, his eyes lit up, he exhaled deeply, nodded, and said:
"What you said really makes sense and seems feasible. If we can really capture enough pirates and use them as labor, then we can perfectly solve our current problem. Indeed, in the North Sea today, there are too few pirate groups that can be truly organized by the gods. Apart from this, as long as we don't provoke them, everything else doesn't seem to be a problem."

"We don't ask for too much. As long as we can capture two pirate groups of the same size as the previous Demon Pirate Group to serve as miners, then our goal will be completed smoothly and easily."

After saying this, Mr. Wei couldn't help but stroke his beard, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he nodded.

"Your idea is good, but it may be a little difficult to implement. We may not be able to catch so many pirates in a year."

Mr. Wei couldn't help but add on and expressed his concerns.

"The North Sea is such a vast sea area, there must be a lot of pirates. We can first organize people to pretend to be merchant ships carrying goods, go to some sea areas where pirates often occur, lure them out, and then slowly attack them."

Yu Changsheng thought about it and laughed.

"Play the pig and eat the tiger, and let them jump out to fish, right?"

Elder Wei pondered, looked at Yu Changsheng strangely, but still shook his head, then nodded:
"This method may be useful in the early stages, but later on, when they become more vigilant, they won't be fooled so easily."

"In the end," Elder Wei paused and said slowly, "In the end, there are only two of us. Even if we come up with such a solution, efficiency will become a problem if we want to implement it."

"This is really not easy to solve..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng showed a trace of embarrassment and hesitation on his face.

"... Let's put it this way," Elder Wei thought for a moment, then took a deep breath, straightened his mind, and said, "In fact, we are not completely without a foundation in the North Sea. There are still some people who can help us?"

"Ok?"

Yu Changsheng was stunned, squinting his eyes, and said hesitantly: "Master, are you talking about Uncle Chen Wencai? Forget about him. It would be too much for him to do all these things. It would be more convenient for us to do it."

"What are you thinking about?" Elder Wei glared at Yu Changsheng, shook his head unhappily, and then suddenly sighed softly, "Although I have a close relationship with your Uncle Chen, he would certainly not refuse my request, but it is obvious that someone on Haikuotian Island is deliberately targeting us and making things difficult for us."

"Whether it's the Seventh Divine Decree, Wang Sheng, or the mountain elder Wang Donghai, or anything else, it's not convenient for us to drag your Uncle Chen into this mess and cause him trouble. He has done his best for us. From now on, we should try to rely on ourselves."

Mr. Wei sighed softly.

Yu Changsheng nodded silently, thought about it again, and continued hesitantly: "Then Master, who are you talking about? Could it be that he relies on the miners on the island? Could they be just ordinary Jindan cultivators? Although it is not bad in this North Sea, it will be difficult to explain if there are casualties if we take them with us." Relying on Yu Changsheng's current prestige on Lingkuang Island, Yu Changsheng believes that he can get a lot of responses if he speaks out his ideas. As long as he is willing to follow him to capture pirates, he will definitely not kill them. But, does he dare to do this?

If you really do this directly, you don't have to wait for the other party's plan to succeed, and you don't have to spend a lot of effort to improve your own indicators, which makes things difficult for yourself. You can also directly accuse yourself of abusing public power for personal gain, which will be even more difficult to get rid of.

Therefore, in Yu Changsheng's opinion, this matter is absolutely not allowed and is also very unreliable.

Except for a few who were exiled as punishment, all the miners on Lingkuang Island came to Lingkuang Island with missions, and they were not the so-called black slave miners.

If the casualties on Lingkuang Island were caused by work or some unexpected reasons, then he could still explain it. However, if the casualties were caused by Yu Changsheng's own personal reasons, then for Yu Changsheng, it would be like jumping into a pit.

"So Master, the geology of these miners on the phosphate island cannot be moved. Forget about taking them out to sea."

These thoughts flashed quickly through Changsheng's mind. After shaking his head, he said this to Mr. Wei with a firm face.

"What are you thinking? I'm not that stupid. I'd rather use this bunch of brats who will explode at the slightest touch. They only have the Golden Core cultivation level, so they can't help much."

"That's good," Yu Changsheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Wei Lao in confusion and asked, "Since none of them are the same, then what is the help you are talking about, Master? We don't know anyone here, so what other forces are there?"

Yu Changsheng was puzzled, but Old Wei seemed calm and composed, stroking his beard and smiling faintly:
"Although I don't know any powerful people, have you forgotten that you brought the entire sect here and migrated to this North Sea area?"

Elder Wei smiled slightly, glanced at Yu Changsheng, and couldn't help but stretched out his index finger to rub Yu Changsheng's nose, smiling, with a look of trance and complacency:

"Wanxiang Sect is our foundation, our home. Although we are only a small barbarian sect in Wanxiang, we still have some foundation after all."

"what?"

Yu Changsheng was stunned for a moment, scratched his head in astonishment, chuckled, and then a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he said angrily:

"Master, please stop joking. Don't you know the situation in Wanxiang? Letting some of our disciples who have not yet grown up go out to sea with us without catching pirates, isn't that too risky?"

"Who said I was a disciple?"

Old Wei glared at Yu Changsheng unhappily, blew his beard, and said angrily:
"Would I cheat my own disciples? I said that it must be reliable. Only Purple Mansion cultivators can participate in this operation and be of some use. Forget about Golden Core."

"Uh." Yu Changsheng was speechless for a moment, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, he waved his hand, curled his lips and said: "Come on, Master, what's the use of our two Purple Mansion cultivators? It's better to let them stay in Wanxiang Island to avoid any accidents."

"Who told you there are only two Purple Mansions?"

Elder Wei was a little angry. He glared at Yu Changsheng and said unhappily, "Our Wanxiang Sect has been passed down for thousands of years. We even had powerful people who had reached the level of a spirit. Even if we are declining now, it shouldn't be as bad as you say."

"what?"

Yu Changsheng was embarrassed, and then his eyes lit up. He looked at Wei Lao expectantly: "Master, what do you mean?"

In Yu Changsheng's impression, the only Purple Mansion in Wanxiang Sect, not counting Old Wei himself, is Lu Ruikai's master, Ruan Hao, and his own Supreme Elder Yuan Menghua of Yujian Peak.

However, the two Purple Mansion cultivators were obviously not good enough.

"You may not know about our Wanxiang Sect these days, but in fact, we now have several more Purple Mansion True Lords."

Old Wei spoke slowly, smiled slightly, and a hint of pride appeared in his expression.

"is it?"

Yu Changsheng was stunned, then he couldn't help but smile, staring at Elder Wei with sharp eyes: "Master, please tell me, what's going on?"

"Do you really think that my decision to relocate to the North Sea, even moving 800 miles of territory, was just a whim?"

Elder Wei laughed and explained, "With the help of the vast spiritual energy of the North Sea and the collision of the rules of the two regions, the laws of heaven and earth have become more perfect and nourished our Wanxiang Sect. During this period of time, many people in our Wanxiang Sect have achieved breakthroughs in their cultivation."

"Among them, the masters of each peak have already reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm. After the changes and stimulations in the Wanxiang Sect, coupled with a better environment, it is only natural for them to break through to the Purple Mansion."

"So?" Yu Changsheng asked tentatively.

"So now the actual number of Purple Mansion cultivators in our Wanxiang Sect is not two, but eight." Old Wei smiled, a smile that he could hardly conceal.

"Eight Purple Mansions?"

Yu Changsheng was stunned and surprised. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked.

"Of course. I can't lie to you."

Elder Wei laughed and nodded. “Including Ruan Hao and Yuan Menghua, who you know, there are also the peak master of Yujian Peak, that is, the deputy sect master Lu Ruikai, the sect master Zheng Tianheng, and the peak master of our Yushou Peak, Mo Pengcheng…”

"The other three peak masters, besides this, this is only for now. According to this situation, it will not take too long to break through to the Purple Mansion. There are also some elders who are not far away from breaking through to the Purple Mansion."

"So that's how it is. If that's the case, that would be great."

Yu Changsheng was stunned, then became a little excited and grinned.

"Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future. After surviving a catastrophe, one will be reborn in Nirvana."

Mr. Wei pondered and said sixteen words.

"After all the events in the Southern Region and many twists and turns, our Wanxiang Sect should take good care of itself, gather our strength, and seize the opportunity to rise again." (End of this chapter)
