Chapter 258 Succession as high priest, the royal court makes things difficult (please subscribe)

Nowadays, among the forces in Kang State, the only ones that have the strength to face the pressure of the Sanxian Alliance are the "Three Ministries, Two Mountains and One Palace" and the Immortal Gate Jingshui Pavilion of Zheng State that moved to Ningyue Palace.

Among these seven major forces.

Wei Tu and Jingshui Pavilion are the most closely connected, and they have a close relationship with Qin Yuling.

However, Jingshui Pavilion was currently under the control of someone else, and it was a female nun... Wei Tu immediately ruled out this option in his mind.

And the remaining six major forces.

Only the "Ying Ding Department" meets Wei Tu's needs.

The Ying Ding Tribe is a tribal alliance and does not exclude outside monks from joining, and it rarely restricts the monks who join the Ying Ding Tribe.

Coincidentally, he has now leased spiritual land among the tribes affiliated with the Yingding tribe, and has temporarily replaced the high priest of his tribe.

As long as he nods in agreement, he can join the Ying Ding tribe and enjoy the protection of the Ying Ding tribe.

Previously, Wei Tu did not immediately agree to become the high priest of Fenshan Tribe because he had a choice. He could just agree within fifty years.

There is no need to take office immediately.

but now.

His options are narrowed.

…

One month later.

At the seventh floor of the pagoda, after recovering his mana, Wei Tu sent out a talisman letter, inviting High Priest Mu Feng to discuss joining the Ying Ding Tribe.

“Priest Guard, have you figured it out?”

After receiving the talisman letter, High Priest Mu Feng rushed to Weitu Cave without stopping, with a look of surprise on his face.

Previously, although he had hopes for Wei Tu to become the high priest of the Burning Mountain Tribe, he was not enthusiastic about it.

After all, fifty years later, for the Holy Spring Society, many priests and mages will come to the Fenshan Tribe and compete to become the high priest of the Fenshan Tribe.

However-

After Wei Tu showed his "craftsmanship", High Priest Mu Feng changed his mind and tried many means to keep Wei Tu in the Fenshan tribe.

Yan Yu was one of the methods he used.

Third-level Talisman Master.

A quasi-second-level alchemist.

Such high priests are rare among the major tribes affiliated with the Ying Ding tribe.

In the opinion of High Priest Mu Feng, as long as Wei Tu is here, the Fenshan tribe will prosper sooner or later due to Wei Tu's "craftsmanship" and become one of the best tribes in the Ying Ding tribe besides Wang Ting.

“Wei stayed in the Fenshan tribe for several years. The people of the Fenshan tribe are honest and have good customs, and they are also cared for by the high priest... Only then did Wei come up with the idea of ​​becoming the high priest of the Fenshan tribe.”

Wei Tu considered his words and said.

At this moment, of course he couldn't say that he wanted to become the high priest of the Fenshan tribe to protect himself from Qi Chengchu, and then borrow the power of the Ding tribe to protect himself.

“In addition, Wei also felt that as a casual cultivator, it was difficult for him to make progress... Wei was a little moved by the Noble Holy Spring Meeting.”

In order to be credible enough, Wei Tu thought for a moment and added this sentence.



With his cleverness, he certainly understands that only benefits can move people's hearts.

"Becoming a high priest is different from renting a spiritual land. You must go to the royal court... If the priest has nothing else to do, I will take the priest to the royal court to go through the relevant procedures."

High Priest Mu Feng said impatiently.

His life is short, only more than 20 years. Once Wei Tu becomes the high priest of Fenshan Tribe, he will need to teach him some relevant knowledge.

Furthermore, all of his "lifetime" connections must be handed over to Wei Tu one by one.

—Wei Tu, as the next high priest, is no different from his direct disciple.

…

Wei Tu has nothing else to do.

He nodded and stood up, followed High Priest Mu Feng, fled away from the Fenshan tribe, and headed for the royal court of the Yingding tribe - Hujie City.

Kangju people rarely built cities and lived in tents, with the exception of the royal court of the three major tribes. Each royal court is located within a city on the grassland.

Hujie City is also called Hujie Fairy City.

Less than half a day.

A towering fairy city covered in crystal yellow came into Wei Tu’s eyes.

The entire fairy city looks like a giant tripod sitting on the vast grassland.

This huge cauldron has three legs and two ears. There are many tents standing under the three legs. At the foot of the tripod, there are city gates that open and close one after another.

Through these city gates, you can see a corner of the interior of Juding Immortal City.

The pillars are made of red wood, and the beams are made of gold and jade. It is almost identical to the buildings in Cangnan Renfang City.

If it weren't for the monks walking here, most of whom were dressed in Kangju costumes, Wei Tu would have mistakenly thought that he had arrived at the market of some sect.

“According to legend, the ancestors of the Kangju people had a bird body and a human face, were good at shooting, and held a precious tripod given by the immortal god... Therefore, the names of the three major tribes are Fengwu tribe, Sheri tribe, and Yingding tribe.”

“The Hujie City of the Yingding tribe was built based on the legendary “Cangkun Divine Cauldron”…”

High Priest Mu Feng knew that Wei Tu was a monk from outside, so he took the trouble to tell Wei Tu the origin of "Hujie Immortal City".

The origin of the Kangju people.

When Wei Tu was in Zheng State, he had done enough homework. However, he did not disturb the elegance of High Priest Mu Feng and allowed him to continue speaking.

The two of them were walking and talking.

As we walked into the tripod, the scenery changed again.

The sky above Dingkou was covered with a layer of yellow light and full of restrictions. Next to the tripod wall, a tower was built. Many Wang Ting mages patrolled the tower and were heavily guarded.

“King Zuo Xian of the Fenshan Tribe belongs to the Ying Ding Tribe, let’s go to the palace of King Zuo Xian now…” High Priest Mu Feng said.

Kangju people are a mixture of immortals and mortals. Among the subordinate tribes, the power of the high priest is usually greater than that of the tribal chief who controls the secular people.

The same is true within the royal court. However, unlike the tribal chiefs, the royal court has the power to appoint and remove the high priests of the major subordinate tribes. In principle, the high priest must serve the king of the royal court.

But this is also in principle.

Normally, the high priests of each tribe are generally managed by the "divine master" of the royal court.

—Divine master, a realm above the high priest and archmage, that is, the powerful Nascent Soul in the immortal way.

…

With the guidance of High Priest Mu Feng, Wei Tu made smooth progress in the court of King Zuoxian, and easily obtained the appointment and dismissal letter of the high priest of Fenshan Tribe.

However, this is only the first step.

Weitu also needs to report to the cave of "Master Dulong" and consider himself to be a subordinate of Master Dulong.

After completing these processes, he can be regarded as the high priest of the Burning Mountain Tribe.

Master Dulong is in seclusion and has no time to meet the two juniors, Wei Tu and Mu Feng.

Master Dulong’s second disciple, Master Yuanxian, met with High Priest Wei Tu and Mu Feng on behalf of his master.

"Can you make alchemy? Can you make talismans?" Grand Master Yuanxian is a fat old man. After seeing the "immortal arts" in Wei Tuqi's book, a look of surprise appeared on his fat face.

Third-level talisman masters and second-level alchemy masters are common in the area of ​​​​the Cangnan people, but they are quite scarce in the Yingding tribe.

"Let me see, Mu Feng... you might as well let Wei Tu go to the royal court and let him follow the divine master and become his disciple, so as not to waste his attainments in Talisman Dao and Alchemy Dao."

Master Yuanxian turned his eyes and thought of snatching the Wei map, and said with a smile on his face.

He knew that as long as he mastered the Wei map, it would be equivalent to them all being of the same lineage and having an extra money bag. The prospects are extremely promising.

Hearing this, High Priest Mu Feng became a little nervous. Wei Tu was the successor he had finally waited for, and he could not allow the royal court to take him away.

He refused directly: "Master Yuanxian and Priest Wei have signed a spiritual contract with our Fenshan tribe before coming to the royal court. This contract cannot be changed..."

High Priest Mu Feng cheated.

The spiritual contract signed by the Fenshan tribe and Wei Tu was only a spiritual contract for leasing the third-level spiritual land of Huofen Mountain, but there was no spiritual contract for agreeing to become a high priest.

But High Priest Mu Feng had no choice at the moment. The royal court took someone by force. If he didn't give a suitable reason, he couldn't refuse the royal court's request.

“Priest Wei, although the Royal Court has many benefits, what Yuan Xian values ​​​​is your ability to make talismans and alchemy... In terms of practice, the Royal Court is unlikely to help you too much...”

High Priest Mu Feng secretly transmitted the message.

Grand Master Yuanxian on the side did not refute after hearing Mu Feng's words. He had a smile on his lips and waited for Wei Tu's reply.

The resource gap between the subordinate tribes and the royal court is something that every priest is well aware of.

After Wang Ting expressed his wooing.

There are few priests who can refuse the good intentions of the royal court.

"Wei is determined to be free and happy. There are too many rules in the royal court, so Wei may not be used to it."

Weitu declined politely.

In his opinion, these two immortal arts, Fu Dao and Alchemy Dao, should be a help to his practice, not a hindrance.

It is not the behavior of a wise man to sacrifice the basics and pursue the weak.

Moreover, he has not had much contact with Wang Ting and Master Yuan Xian, and he has some scruples - he is worried that after joining Wang Ting, he will be forced to specialize in refining elixirs and making talismans as "Dan Nu" and "Fu Nu".

At that time, it will be a good thing.

the last point.

There are too many secrets in him, and it is not appropriate to have long-term contact with Yuanying monks.

On this point alone, he must reject Master Yuanxian.

"Priest Wei, are you worried about the Holy Spring Meeting?" Archmage Yuanxian frowned slightly when he saw Wei Tu's refusal, and then advised: "Not only the high priest can participate in the Holy Spring Meeting, but we and other archmages can also participate, and the holy spring bathing Quan’s time is one year longer than that of the high priest.”

“Wei and High Priest Mu Feng have made an agreement before, so it’s not good to break it.”

Weitu refused again.

“In that case, forget it.” Master Yuanxian shook his head.

The voice fell.

High Priest Mu Feng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But just when High Priest Wei Tu and High Priest Mu Feng thought everything was over, Grand Master Yuanxian spoke again, with a smile on his lips, "However, since Priest Wei is so accomplished in alchemy, I happen to have a spirit in my body." The medicine is now in a state of depletion..."

“I hope that the priest Wei can use his alchemy skills to help this mage revive this elixir.”

“Elixir?” Wei Tu and High Priest Mu Feng looked at each other and frowned deeply.

Just now, he had just rejected Master Yuanxian’s invitation to represent the royal court.

Now, if you refuse again, you will undoubtedly offend the other party greatly.

Of course, he also knew that Master Yuanxian was probably deliberately using this elixir to make a fuss, hoping that he and High Priest Mu Feng would be guilty of disrespecting the royal court.

This crime can be big or small.

Although it is not fatal to the two of them, it is still a troublesome matter.

“Priest Wei, don’t worry, I have good relations with Master Dulong’s fourth disciple, Master Qubei. After rejecting Yuanxian, I can find Master Qubei to settle the matter.”

Master Mu Feng said in a message.

They are both Jindan realm monks, so even if Yuan Xian's status is higher than him, he won't be afraid.

The reason why I "submitted" before was just because I didn't want to make things too tense.

Weitu nodded slightly and was about to refuse Master Yuanxian's unreasonable request.

However, just when he was about to open his mouth, he was stopped by Bai Zhi's message.

“This elixir seems unusual. It looks like a dead branch of the Thunder Spirit Tree.”

"I agree to Yuan Xian's request. I, I have a way to save this dead branch."

Bai Zhi said anxiously.
