Chapter 95 Building Our Blood Refining Hall
As the crowd's enthusiasm gradually subsided, and Zhang Xiaofan's live stream went black, Russell clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention back.
"I created another group, guys, just click 'accept'."
"A new group?" Lu Mingfei scratched his slightly messy hair, looking at the number of people in the new group list, even more puzzled: "Brother Luo, what's going on? Why aren't you including Xiao Fan?"
"Don't rush," Russell replied, uploading the complete text of "Zhu Xian" that he had already prepared.
"Is this Xiao Fan's life trajectory? Is it that tragic?" After reading it carefully, Xiao Yan frowned slightly, understanding why Russell had avoided Zhang Xiao Fan: "What are you planning to do next?"
"He should be allowed to walk his own path. We just need to make sure he has the confidence to do so."
Russell had no intention of interfering with Zhang Xiaofan's life path. They were just friends in the group, and there should still be boundaries. Just because he knew more didn't give him the right to educate or dictate how Zhang Xiaofan should behave in the future. If he did that, wouldn't he be just like Tang Shenwang?
All he needed to do was accelerate the kid's growth, for example, his cultivation level.
Having understood Russell's meaning, Han Li immediately realized, "Fellow Daoist Luo, are you referring to the five volumes of the Heavenly Book?"
The five volumes of the Heavenly Book are a key element in understanding the world of Jade Dynasty, and can be considered the greatest intangible cultural heritage.
The topic of cultivation immediately piqued Ye Fan's interest. He put down his potato chips and quickly asked, "So, what are you planning to do?"
Russell held up two fingers and said, "There are two methods. Either take the fast route and we'll just push through, grab the Heavenly Book, and leave, or take the steady route and proceed slowly. We'll get the first volume of the Heavenly Book first, then find an opportunity to go to the Ghost King Sect to get the second volume, and deal with the rest later. I prefer the first one."
Yes, the first one is the most time-saving and easiest.
Unfortunately, although the cultivation structure of cultivators in this world is simple, the power of their spells is truly formidable.
Although Han Li and Xiao Yan also wanted to choose the first option, with only one being a Core Formation stage cultivator and the other a one-star Dou Shi, going there would be a waste of their time.
Xiao Yan's possession ability is unreliable. Yao Lao has only recently awakened and hasn't recovered much of his soul power. Furthermore, Xiao Yan is too weak, so even if Yao Lao fights in his place, he won't be able to exert much of his strength.
Therefore, as things stand, among everyone present, the only one who has the ability to say that he can sweep through the world of Jade Dynasty is Zhongli.
Zhong Li's attitude was also very clear: he would only take action when necessary, and would not actively break the existing rules.
"Alright, we can't rely on a powerful backer for now." Russell shrugged, but he wasn't discouraged. He raised his arm and shouted, "Then let's take the second path. I hereby announce that, starting today, the Blood Refining Hall branch of the Free and Unfettered Sect is officially established. We will use the Blood Refining Hall as our base and gradually devour the entire world of Jade Dynasty."
"Good!" Xiao Yan clapped without saying a word. He loved causing trouble the most, and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't cause trouble for a day.
"If that's the case, then I, Han, will also join in the fun."
A series of responses rang out, all indicating that they were ready to make a big splash.
Russell didn't mince words. He immediately appointed Xiao Yan as the head of the Pill Hall, Ye Fan as the head of the Discipline Hall, Han Li as the dean of the Academy of Sciences, Zhang Chulan as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Zhong Li as the guest elder, Lu Mingfei as the mascot, and Xiao Yu as the backup hidden energy source. They were all called the "Double Flower Red Sticks" of his sect. Then he picked up a two-liter bottle of rice wine from the side and yanked the cap off.
In an instant, the rich aroma of wine filled the entire cave.
"Good wine," Zhong Li commented earnestly, glancing at the plastic bucket in Russell's hand.
Han Li sniffed, surprised, "It seems to be wine brewed from spirit rice. Where did you get it, Fellow Daoist Luo?"
"I got it from the system. I don't drink, so I don't know anything about these things." Russell was also a little surprised. He thought that such simple packaging meant that it contained just ordinary alcohol.
"Shall we drink some more?" Xiao Yan's Adam's apple bobbed. The wine smelled incredibly tempting; just the aroma alone made one's mouth water.
"Isn't that just nonsense? We've already opened it." Russell rolled his eyes at Xiao Yan, then flipped his hand and took out several cups, filling everyone's cups, even giving Xiao Yu a small one: "Come on, drink!"
"Come on! Let's toast to our Free and Unfettered Sect's Blood Refining Hall branch!"
"Cheers!"N
The crisp sound of clinking glasses echoed in the cave.
The clear, cool liquor enters the mouth, initially sweet and mellow, followed by a gentle warmth that slides down the throat and quickly spreads throughout the body.
And so, after a few cups of rice wine, the atmosphere grew increasingly lively as people toasted and drank. Those who were initially reserved or aloof gradually relaxed and started chatting and boasting in small groups.
Han Li told Lu Mingfei how difficult his cultivation was, while Lu Mingfei poured out his own suffering to Han Li.
Xiao Yan asked Zhang Chulan what to do if he accidentally formed an inexplicable bond with the daughter of his enemy. Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan burst into tears, wailing and crying out that he was the only virgin left in the world.
As night fell, the sounds from inside the cave gradually subsided.
Xiao Yan lay slumped on the table, muttering things like Xun'er and Yunzhi. Ye Fan and Han Li leaned against the stone wall, their breathing steady. Lu Mingfei, on the other hand, had his head down, his forehead against his knees, motionless, it was unclear whether he was drunk or sober.
Apart from Zhong Li, who was still sitting steadily by the stone table, everyone else was sprawled out on the spot, slumped over.
Oh, right, and there's also the old doctor; he wasn't drunk either.
"I haven't been this happy in a long time." Looking at the young and energetic faces in front of him, Yao Lao couldn't help but smile.
When they were gesturing wildly just now, it reminded him of the time when he and Venerable Feng founded the Starfall Pavilion.
"The spirit of youth—" Zhongli seemed to have thought of something, a gentle glint in his eyes, then looked at Yao Lao: "On such a fine day and in such beautiful scenery, would you be willing to have a game with me, Mr. Yao?"
"Since the Emperor has invited us, there is nothing wrong with it."
The old doctor laughed and was about to go out with Zhong Li when Lu Mingfei, who had been looking down, suddenly raised his head.
What came into Zhongli and Yao Lao's view was a pair of glittering golden eyes, as brilliant as molten gold, flowing with endless majesty and ancient nobility.
"Uh—" Lu Mingfei seemed a little uncomfortable as he rubbed his temples and forced a slightly embarrassed and apologetic smile: "Although I've come out at this time to spoil your fun, there's a favor I'd like you two to do for me."
Zhongli & Yaolao:
