Little Nine’s question made Li Qingshan ponder.
He did not wish for the Yuhua Sect to face problems. When a bird’s nest is overturned, no egg can remain intact. Once anything happened to the sect, and it was in turmoil, his peaceful life would also be affected.
It would be even worse for Little Nine.
With the talent she displayed now, she would be targeted by many forces. However, when the Yuhua Sect was at its peak condition, the sect leader could protect her.
However, when the sect leader himself could not defend his position, how could could he spare resources to protect her?
As an innocent bystander, she would be dragged into this mess.
Hence, a stable Yuhua Sect was the most suitable for Li Qingshan.
“Has Master Sect Leader already run out of options?” he asked with a frown.
“Almost. Anyway, the Elder Council has been pressuring him recently. As a result, even some elders who have been living in seclusion have emerged. If it weren’t for the fact that some people are still supporting Master, he would have already been impeached by now, ” said Little Nine in frustration.
Li Qingshan looked at her. Then, he pondered deeply and said, “If that’s the case, you should go and teach the Immortality Method to your master. With it, he should be able to turn the tide and change the situation.”
Little Nine did not understand. She asked, “What is the Immortality Method?”
“It is the mysterious method that I taught you,” said Li Qingshan with a smile.
“Brother, didn’t you tell me to keep it a secret from everyone?” Little Nine asked, doubtfully.
She naturally hoped that she could help her master. However, she did not want her brother to get implicated.
Li Qingshan calmly assured her, “As long as you don’t mention that I taught you the Immortality Method and insist that it was your own fateful encounter that allowed you to obtain it, no one will suspect that it came from me.”
When he decided to share the Immortality Method, he had already considered many outcomes.
As long as Little Nine did not say anything, no one would suspect him.
That was because a youth who had his cultivation and root bones crippled and was banished to Repentance Cliff for life was not worth their doubts.
“Brother, can the Immortality Method turn the tables?” asked Little Nine, uncertain.
Li Qingshan assured her, “It will be fine. The Immortality Method is the root of the Yuhua Sect. The deterioration of the sect began when they lost it. Since then, they have been suppressed by the Heavenly Path Sect until now. Hence, finding the Immortality Method has been the highest priority of the sect for the past few generations.”
“If you give them the Immortality Method, your position in the Yuhua Sect in the future will also be guaranteed. Everyone will dote on you,” Li Qingshan told Little Nine as he smiled.
“Since the Immortality Method is so incredible and precious, why don’t you cultivate it, Brother?” asked Little Nine incredulously.
“The outside world is full of infighting. How can it compare to the peace and quiet of Repentance Cliff? Outside is full of trouble. I can do as I please here. Whether or not I cultivate the Immortality Method is unimportant,” said Li Qingshan, not answering the question directly.
“Go to Master Sect Leader now and pass the Immortality Method to him. Then, come and see me again only when this crisis of the Yuhua Sect has passed,” he said as he gestured to Little Nine to leave.
“Alright. Then, I will take my leave. I will come again to see you when everything is over,” said Little Nine, nodding her head. She would give it a try since her brother had told her to do so.
Could the Immortality Method truly save the Yuhua Sect now?
Little Nine did not know.
However, she believed in her brother.
Li Qingshan watched Little Nine leave. He stood where he was with a complicated gaze. It seemed he was thinking about something. Little Fox leaped onto his shoulder and started writing on it.
[Why are you offering up the Immortality Method?]
Li Qingshan looked at Little Fox. He smiled and said, “It originally belonged to someone else. It is better for it to be out in the world.’
Little Fox tipped her head to one side. She did not understand, but she would not say anything since he had sent it out into the world.
“The storms of the outside world do not concern us. So come, let me take you fishing,” Li Qingshan said, as he smiled at Little Fox.
Little Fox also happily wrapped her tail around his neck like a white scarf.
In the Sect Leader Hall of the Yuhua Sect.
The current crisis made the Yuhua Sect Leader’s hair turn white from stress.
He was trying his best to keep the situation under control, but the pressure the Heavenly Path Sect was exerting on them was too great.
“The Heavenly Path Sect is too powerful. They are not attacking us, merely sanctioning us. Instead, they want us to descend to infighting. If this keeps going on, we will most likely tear ourselves to pieces soon,” said the Yuhua Sect Leader as he sighed.
“Feng Baiyu, you are now the sect leader. You cannot be indecisive anymore. You must pull yourself together,” said the previous sect leader with a frown. He sighed internally when he saw his disciple’s decadent look.
The original sect leader was not him but Wu Shaobai. Nevertheless, he was an influential figure. If he had led the Yuhua Sect, the sect would have reached new heights.
Alas, tragedy befell Wu Shaobai. They could only choose another candidate. Feng Baiyu was chosen in the end.
He was dependable and sought stability. He was not a leader who sought expansion but was instead a preserver. nove(l)bi(n.)com
If they were not faced with the Heavenly Path Sect’s sanctions, the Yuhua Sect would have at least maintained their former status.
Unfortunately, Wu Shaobai’s actions caused the Heavenly Path Sect to sanction them in a fury. They set up a complete blockade of the Yuhua Sect, forcing Feng Baiyu into an awkward situation in one fell swoop.
The sanctions have lasted for more than half a year. The current situation of the Yuhua Sect was terrible. They were short on many things, and the disciples out experiencing the world were forced to return to the sect.
“If the situation continues, I will be impeached by more than half of the elders,” said Feng Baiyu, dejectedly, as he looked at his master.
The facial expression of the previous sect leader was ugly. He cursed, “Those b*tches! The sect built them up with all the resources we had. Yet, they are all siding with the Heavenly Path Sect now.”
Both generations of sect leaders felt helpless when faced with the current situation. They had very little means of retaliating.
Right at that moment, Little Nine entered the hall gracefully.
She said, with her melodious voice, “Master, Grandfather-master, I have a technique that I want to pass to you.”
Feng Baiyu and the previous sect leader looked at her.
Feng Baiyu gently said, “Little Nine, if you have a technique, you can pass it to the Library. The members there will document it.”
Little Nine shook her head and said innocently, “I can’t pass it to them. The technique I have is called the Immortality Method.”
“The Immortality Method!” exclaimed the two men.
They seemed to have heard something incredible as their eyes widened instantly. They stared at Little Nine with fervent gazes.
“Did you just say the Immortality Method?”
“Little Nine, you’re not bluffing, are you? My heart can’t take it if you’re just joking,” Feng Baiyu said excitedly.
The previous sect leader was also looking at Little Nine with anticipation.
“Master, I will show it to you once. The Immortality Method can improve one’s root bones and create more potential. I broke through to the next plane so quickly due to it,” declared Little Nine. She was full of confidence. Right there in Sect Leader Hall, she began to perform the Immortality Method nimbly.
Feng Baiyu and his master watched her without even blinking.
They watched her hands and every movement she made, even how she drew in and absorbed spiritual Qi. Feng Baiyu and the previous sect leader were excited to the point that they lost themselves.
Although the Yuhua Sect did not have a complete set of the Immortality Method, they had incomplete remnants.
“Yes, yes, yes. This is it. This is the Immortality Method that we have been seeking for, for 3,000 years,” said Feng Baiyu. He was moved to the point of tears.
“The heavens smiled on our Yuhua Sect. In our time of crisis, the Immortality Method has returned. Our sect will be able to weather the storm now,” added the previous sect leader. His elderly tears were also flowing. He looked at Little Nine as though he was looking at treasure..
