Chapter 55: A Gift?
Chapter 55: What are you giving benefits?
Ye Wen's face was not ugly, because the information revealed in Shen Gongbao's words made Ye Wen think of the possibility of worse.
As the saying goes, be diligent when you have nothing to do, either you are a traitor or a thief!
Ye Wen asked himself that the Shushan Sect is not strong enough to make the Jade Emperor cautious, but what Shen Gongbao said this time obviously reveals a message, that is, the Jade Emperor attaches great importance to the Shushan Sect and will even help the Shushan Sect solve some problems so that the Shushan Sect can develop smoothly!
"for what?"
At the beginning, Ye Wen was a little confused, and even thought that the Jade Emperor had a long conflict with his nephew. After learning that Yang Jian valued his Shushan Sect, he wanted to win over the Shushan Sect? Or was it because he was afraid that Yang Jian was so arrogant that he respected himself, so he took measures in advance to instigate the Shushan Sect?
But immediately he felt that this idea was too unreliable. After all, for the Heavenly Court, the Shushan Sect was not worthy of their rebellion. If the Jade Emperor really had an irreconcilable conflict with Yang Jian, then finding a way to destroy the Shushan Sect is the easiest choice - Ye Wen believes that the Heavenly Court has enough strength to destroy the Shushan Sect without Yang Jian's knowledge.
In this way, all the original speculations were rejected, and Ye Wen could only consider the problem from other angles. While talking about some unnutritional topics with Shen Gongbao, Ye Wen wanted to find some clues from Shen Gongbao's words.
He found that Shen Gongbao was very interesting. Although he came on behalf of the Heavenly Court, he didn't know what purpose it was. He would reveal some information intentionally or unintentionally.
With the previous actions, Ye Wen can already be sure that Shen Gongbao did it on purpose, rather than accidentally revealing his mouth. This discovery made Ye Wen even more confused.
After Shen Gongbao spoke for a while and went straight to rest, Ye Wen was still sitting in the distance without moving too much. His mental thoughts kept turning, and his head lowered and thoughtful look made no one dare to disturb Xu Xian and others, so he could only sit aside and accompany him.
"What exactly does Heavenly Court mean?"
After thinking for a long time, he still had no clue. Ye Wen felt his brain hurt. Xu Xian saw his senior brother sad, and said, "Senior brother, why bother so much? Just the generals come to block the water and soil!"
Ye Wen smiled bitterly: "Where is that easy?"
But after thinking about it, what Xu Xian said was not unreasonable. If the Heavenly Court really wanted to make any conspiracy, the Shushan Sect would not be able to withstand any of it!
At least from the moment, both the Heavenly Court and Yang Jian are selling well to the Shushan School. Since they can't figure out what they are trying to do, it's better to make good use of the benefits they can get first and concentrate on developing themselves and strengthening themselves.
"As long as your own strength increases, there is no need to worry about the conspiracy of Heaven! After all, all conspiracies and tricks are all over the world in the face of absolute strength!"
Unfortunately, although the current Shushan Sect and the Heavenly Court are clearly distinguished from each other, the stronger side is the Heavenly Court, not the Shushan Sect! This situation makes Ye Wen very troubled.
"I don't know if the conspiracy that Heaven is going to make this time will leave us enough time!"
Ning Ruxue calculated: "In a few months, our Shushan Sect will have a few more earth immortals. With Xiaoyao and others, our strength is not too bad! But we currently lack the celestial immortal-level masters to support the scene. If the senior brother can break through as soon as possible, he will have to deal with difficulties more easily."
Ye Wen also knew what Ning Ruxue said. Didn’t he work hard to practice for this reason in the past few days? But he didn’t expect that his strength had not improved much, and someone was sent to the Heavenly Court. Fortunately, Wen Tianzun came here just for "inspection". I guess even if there was any plan, he had to wait until Wen Tianzun finished his investigation and reported it to the Jade Emperor before he could implement it.
"Then, wait until Wen Zhong comes first before talking about the other person!"
After some discussion, no results were discussed, and in the end they could only disperse and wait for Wen Zhong to arrive quietly!
Just five days later, Wen Zhong led a few minor officials from the Lei tribe and a few accompanying soldiers to Shushan. The show was not very big, and it looked even worse than Ye Wen's exaggeration when he went out, but his demeanor was indeed extraordinary.
Wen Zhong just stood there and didn't need to report his name. Ye Wen, who was far away, could tell by his feeling that this person was the one he was waiting for. Even though Wen Zhong's clothes were not as gorgeous as some of the accompanying officials, the momentum it exuded was really hard to ignore.
Although Wen Zhong's cultivation is not high, Ye Wen almost saw at first that Wen Zhong's strength is even worse than him. There are a few people in the Shushan Sect who are stronger than Wen Tianzun, but Ye Wen did not dare to underestimate this person at all. And if he really started to fight, Ye Wen would not dare to say that he would definitely be able to defeat Wen Tianzun.
"Ye Wen, the head of Xia Shushan Sect, heard that the Heavenly Lord came to represent the Heavenly Court and came to welcome him!"
It was said to be a welcome, but in fact it was just waiting in the cemetery. After Wen Zhong led the people to fall from the front of Shushan, he was introduced by the disciples of the sect and Ye Wen took a few steps forward to make a welcoming attitude.
It’s not that Ye Wen is arrogant, but although his Shushan Sect is established in the Immortal Realm, it really doesn’t have much to do with the Heavenly Court! Not to mention his Shushan Sect, the entire Immortal Realm’s attitude towards the Heavenly Court is actually similar - not much different from the separatist side. On the surface, he regards the Heavenly Court as orthodox and supports the Heavenly Court’s rule over the Immortal Realm.
Even if there is such a relationship between the Heavenly Court and the Immortal Sect, although Ye Wen is very afraid of the Heavenly Court, there is no need to act like a subordinate.
Ye Wen, who has made up for some common sense in the fairy world, also likes this situation very much. Otherwise, if he just sees the messenger from the Heavenly Court, he will have to kneel down and kowtow and have endless gifts. In that case, he would rather move the Shushan Sect overseas! He can't stand this. Fortunately, the situation in the fairy world is not that bad, and even some relatively strong sects. Even if the messenger from the Heavenly Court sends the messenger, he is still on the weak side. Not only can't make a name for it, but he also has to be respectful and careful to the heads of the big sects.
Ye Wen really hopes that he can get that kind of treatment, but now he needs to continue working hard!
What made him happier was that Wen Zhong was quite polite to him. When he saw Ye Wen greeting him, he immediately rushed a few steps and bowed: "President Ye! Wen Zhong is in charge of the Thunder Division of the Heavenly Court. This time he came to see the situation of the Heavenly Court." After saying that, he paused, then looked around, as if he was looking at the Shushan School: "If Master Ye has any difficulties, even if he is just asking, he will do his best to help the school solve the problem within his ability!"
When Ye Wen heard this, he just smiled and said nothing. Then he led Wen Zhong forward first, but he thought to himself: "No wonder that Shen Gongbao dared to reveal some information when he was talking. It turned out that he didn't intend to hide these things at all!"
Shen Gongbao dares to say that Ye Wen can still think that General Fenshui has some thoughts in his mind, but Wen Zhong also said so, then Ye Wen can only think that the other party is not afraid that he can guess the purpose. Even if the Shushan Sect knows it, he can only stand there obediently. Who told you that you are not strong enough?
This feeling is really frustrating, so although Ye Wen still warms the surface when he greets Wen Zhong, his tone still changes a little.
Wen Zhong naturally noticed it, but he didn't care. He just talked with Ye Wen enthusiastically. The two of them were so unhappy, and they didn't know that they even thought they were two close friends who had not seen for a long time, and suddenly they greeted each other!
Only a few people from the Shushan Sect knew that Ye Wen was just pretending, and probably the head of his family would have hoped that this group of people would get out of here as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, Wen Zhong and others arrived, and they did see the situation of Shushan Sect, so they naturally would not leave as soon as they came. After chatting with Ye Wen for a while, Wen Zhong asked to go around, and even asked whether Shushan Sect had the ability to refine magic weapons and elixirs on its own!
The topic turned to the formation intentionally or unintentionally. Ye Wen soon noticed that Wen Zhong seemed to care about the mountain protection formation of the Shushan Sect - the Jiuzhou Mountain Protection Array activated by Ye Wen with the Jiuzhou Cauldron. His heavenly court dared not underestimate his exquisiteness and power.
"The mountain protection formation of your school is wonderful, but unfortunately it is too peaceful!"
While walking, Wen Zhong looked up and looked around. Ye Wen noticed that the divine eyes in his eyebrows were blinking, and a faint divine light was revealed. It was the Wen Tianzun who was observing his mountain protection formation with his divine eyes.
As for the formation he mentioned too peacefully, it means that the formation of Shushan Sect can only passively defend and has no ability to counterattack at all. Although this formation is extremely exquisite, if it really depends on the Shushan Sect to resist a strong enemy, this formation seems not enough. If Shushan Sect has a stronger formation, that would be better.
How could Ye Wen not know the shortcomings of his formation? But he could not refine all the Jiuzhou Cauldrons. Perhaps after he refines the entire Jiuzhou Cauldron, the mountain protection formation can produce new changes? At present, he can only rely on this protective formation, and even if he wants to change it, he cannot.
When Wen Zhong asked, he could only respond twice and finally said: "If the people under the rule of the court today, even the Xiaoxiao could not see a few people, so he could not use such a powerful formation. As long as he could protect his own mountain gate!"
It seems that his Shushan Sect is kind-hearted and cannot bear to hurt innocent people. This is why he only used such a passive mountain protection formation, instead of saying that the Shushan Sect has no large formation that can kill the enemy. This is true, and he doesn't want people to underestimate his own sect and fool this matter.
Unfortunately, Wen Zhong was concerned about this matter. How could he easily give up this topic? After saying a few more useless things, he turned around and turned back to the formation: "Your clan is in the western border. Going northwest is the Olympus tribe, and going southwest is the Western Buddha Kingdom. That is not under the rule of the Heavenly Court. This area is even more where the three forces meet. It is extremely chaotic. You should be more careful!"
"The Buddha Kingdom in the West has been in good relations with the Heavenly Court for generations, so how can we come here to create a rift? The Olympus tribe has just been repelled by the Heavenly Court army, and it is too angry for a moment, so there is no need to worry too much!"
"The Olympus gods are extremely warlike. They have to fight with our Heavenly Army from time to time for thousands of years. The mountain gate of Zhangmen Ye is just within the battlefield. This..."
Two of the three sentences are about how you Shushan Sect deal with the battle? Ye Wen finally understood what the Heavenly Court was planning.
"Are these guys observing whether our sect can withstand the attack of a certain force?"
It’s not that Ye Wen’s head is not flexible enough, and he can’t think of this reason! In fact, he didn’t think about this from the beginning! He always thought that once foreign tribes came to attack, Yang Jian’s army would be the main force to deal with the enemy! Even if his Shushan faction participated in the war, he was just a so-called character.
At most, it will play a relatively important role in the early stages of the war. But that won’t allow the Shushan faction to encounter the enemy’s main force - to survive to death means to meet a vanguard force.
However, the information revealed by Wen Zhong's words was obviously to make the Shushan Sect resist a single force, and the words were broken without mentioning the intention of the Heavenly Court sending troops to help.
"Damn, does Heavenly Court want to kill someone with a knife?"
But after thinking about it, I realized that there seemed to be no need for the Heavenly Court to cheat me like this. After all, his Shushan Sect and Heavenly Court have almost no intersection, and he has no personal grudges with the Jade Emperor. It is difficult for the Jade Emperor to be unable to make it difficult for him.
Therefore, the only explanation is that the Heavenly Court is going to take action against a surrounding force, and Yang Jian may be transferred away as the main force of the Heavenly Court troops. Therefore, the land of Western Xinjiang will become very fragile for a period of time. Whether the Shushan faction can defend this side will determine whether the Heavenly Court’s plan will be successful...
"Maybe, Tianting planned to let our Shushan faction be cannon fodder. Even if the entire faction was destroyed, we must persist until we kill one enemy, and then return to the army to rescue..."
When the key part was understood, it was like a blocked river channel was instantly unblocked, and the thoughts kept coming out like a flood that broke down the dam. Ye Wen instantly understood what the Jade Emperor was thinking.
"Is it because the Heavenly Court was so troubled by the Olympian gods that they were ready to attack?"
In this case, it means that Ye Wen has to use his sect to defend against the possible attacks that the Western Buddha Realm may have launched. However, considering that the Western Buddha Realm has always wanted to develop its power to the Eastern Immortal Continent but cannot, they will definitely not give up such an opportunity, so they will almost certainly launch an attack on the Shushan Desect. Can the Shushan Desect resist it now?
The Peacock Ming King alone is enough to kill Ye Wen. If you don’t move Ming King or something, the Shushan Sect will be wiped out immediately. What can he resist?
Cold sweat gradually emerged from his forehead, but Wen Zhong, who was beside him, seemed to be unaware of anything. He just slowly walked through the Shushan Sect, looking around along the way, occasionally saying a few words to Ye Wen and asking a few questions.
After visiting the Herb Pavilion, Wen Zhong saw that there were only some ordinary herbs in the Shushan School, and there were almost no elixirs used in the fairy world - boiled eggs for breakfast, and Guben Pills were treated as dinner, while Li Xiaoyao never kept stocks and made some of them into sugar beans. Therefore, there were only some ordinary herbs in the Herb Pavilion.
This situation made Wen Zhong feel that it was inappropriate, and immediately said: "When you go back, you will report to the Jade Emperor about the difficulties of the noble school, and send some people to bring a batch of good elixirs to you, and provide a batch of alchemy equipment by the way!"
Ye Wen didn't care much about the best elixir! On the contrary, the alchemy equipment shocked Ye Wen's spirit - it seemed that the Jade Emperor was also very particular. Although he had the idea of letting him be cannon fodder, he was not the kind that he ignored, and he still had to give some benefits to the Shushan School.
Although I don’t know if it’s the last dinner, the advantage is the benefit. In addition, the Shushan School does need these things, so Ye Wen naturally has no reason to recommend them.
The alchemy tools used by Shushan School now are very rough things, and even the cauldrons used for alchemy are just ordinary products and are not magic weapons at all. In the fairy world, in addition to being superb in the technology and complete ingredients, this tool is also crucial.
Ye Wen originally planned to wait for the technology of the utensils to be improved, so he made some alchemy vessels for use by the Herb Pavilion. Unexpectedly, Tianting was now preparing to send him a batch, which was naturally excellent, so Ye Wen bowed and thanked him. At the same time, his mentality began to think about whether he could extort some good things?
Wen Zhong didn't say anything when visiting the Artifact Making Pavilion, but he was very interested in the light bulbs installed in the large courtyard of the Shushan Pattern Artifact Making Pavilion, and even asked if this thing could be installed in the Heavenly Court?
"The night lighting in the heaven is not only the night pearl but also the ordinary lights and candles. It not only requires careful care, but also far less bright than this thing!"
Wen Zhong pointed to the light bulb, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt it was a good thing.
In that heaven, although there are treasures such as Night Pearl for lighting, is Night Pearl used by everyone? Only a few of them can really enjoy this treatment, such as Jade Emperor and Queen Mother of the West. He Wen Zhong still used an ordinary candle, and that thing is indeed not as convenient as the light bulb in front of him.
In addition, there was nothing in the Artifact Making Pavilion that attracted Wen Zhong's attention. Wen Zhong's only comment on the Artifact Making Pavilion was to ask Ye Wen: "Why do the disciples who are refining magic weapons in your school do not focus on weapons and protecting their bodies, but instead study those strange things?"
Ye Wen had to say embarrassedly: "This sect does not force the disciples to study anything. I think that giving them enough freedom to fully utilize the talents of these disciples!"
Wen Zhong was quite impressed by what he said, but he didn't know that Ye Wen was just an excuse for his hard work. In fact, it was because the disciples of his Shushan Sect could not create good magic weapons at all, so they could make it hard first and just practice!
