Chapter 294: Praising Elder Lu, Willing to Die for Elder Lu! The Hao Yue Sect Leader is Predestined! (Part 1)

Wen Ruyan couldn't quite understand what was happening.

Yes, everyone wanted the elixir, that's understandable.

But you are our elders!

You are the big shots!

You are already well-known figures, yet you so easily lower yourselves, shamelessly competing with us juniors for Elder Lu?

It's simply lawless and against the natural order!

...

"Elder Lu, come here."

A group of elders eagerly pulled Lu Ming, their enthusiasm overflowing.

They made Lu Ming feel uncomfortable.

Especially a few of the 'old geezers' among them, their eyes shining as they looked at him... even giving Lu Ming a sense of being stripped naked, causing him to involuntarily clench his buttocks.

Fortunately, Princess Hao Yue jumped in.

She defused the awkward situation, and the group quickly arrived at the conference hall.

"Elder Lu, how did things go? Was it smooth sailing?"

"Yes!"

Lu Ming nodded, his voice filled with excitement. "The journey had its twists and turns, but the outcome was perfect. I successfully attained enlightenment in the art of elixir refinement, taking it to the next level!"

Princess Hao Yue and the others were overjoyed.

If that's not...

However, just as they were getting excited, Lu Ming continued, "Although compared to before, I can't refine higher-grade elixirs, and there's no improvement in my cultivation realm. But I've attained enlightenment in mass elixir refinement!"

"Mass elixir refinement?"

The elders exchanged glances.

"This..."

"What does that mean?"

"It's simple!"

Lu Ming chuckled, "Mass elixir refinement means refining a large number of elixirs simultaneously, producing them in bulk!"

"Unfortunately, due to the short time and my recent enlightenment, if I use this mass refinement method, I can't refine higher-grade elixirs."

"So, it can only refine..."

"What grade can it refine?" Princess Hao Yue asked.

"At most, it can refine fifth-grade elixirs, which is the limit for now."

Lu Ming sighed, "To be honest, my talent is somewhat lacking."

The elders were speechless.

You call that lacking talent? If that's lacking talent, what are we? Dumb as pigs?

As they pondered, Lu Ming continued, "But after careful thought, I'm not sure how much time I have left. But it shouldn't be too long, right? When the various sects and the Heaven's Pride from the Eight Regions and One Prefecture start vying for supremacy..."

"Our Hao Yue Sect, even if we can't take the top spots, we should at least occupy a place."

"After all, we're a top-tier sect, one of the few in the entire Southwest Region."

"If we're ranked tens of thousands of miles behind, or even invisible, and every Heaven's Pride outshines us..."

"Even if we advance to the top tier, it's still embarrassing."

"No."

"In fact, advancing to the top tier is even more humiliating."

"After all, a top-tier sect with such mediocre disciples... not even able to produce a single talented individual. This..."

The situation became even more awkward.

They had all thought about this issue.

But thinking about it is one thing, what solution is there? An elder bitterly smiled, "Elder Lu's words are true, but this matter isn't something that can be solved with a few words or by simply wanting to solve it."

"Heaven's Pride, even the Heaven's Overlords... everyone knows they're exceptional, but even in a golden era, these supremely talented individuals won't be numerous."

"It's not that you can find them if you want to recruit them."

"Moreover, other sects and powers are also exerting all their efforts to search for Heaven's Pride, and the competition is fierce.

"Therefore, this problem does exist, but to resolve it..."

"It's difficult."

Princess Ji Haoyue nodded, "What you all said is true, but since Elder Lu has specifically brought this up, I believe he must have some brilliant ideas. Please enlighten us!"

Princess Ji Haoyue had long held Lu Ming in high regard.

Moreover, Lu Ming had provided strategic advice on numerous occasions.

In her eyes, Lu Ming was her trusted advisor!

With wisdom as profound as a demon, he could help her solve countless troubles.

At a time like this, if they didn't seek his guidance, what were they waiting for?

Everyone turned to Lu Ming.

He heaved a sigh and said, "It's not exactly a brilliant idea, but I do have some thoughts."

"As it happens, I've recently comprehended the method of mass elixir refinement, but I can only refine fifth-rank and below elixirs in bulk. So, I suddenly thought, perhaps we can change our approach."

"Change our approach?" Princess Ji Haoyue asked eagerly.

"Yes!"

"As you elders have said, finding top-notch geniuses is incredibly difficult. Even with a lantern, it's uncertain if we can find the best among them. So, I'm thinking, why don't we stop searching for those top-notch geniuses?"

"Why don't we go against the flow?"

"They cultivate top-notch geniuses, but we cultivate our core strength!"

"Although they may not be as good as the top-notch geniuses, if our core strength can sweep away the opposition, wouldn't it be less embarrassing for us?"

"With all of you here, I believe no one would dare to be so arrogant as to harm our disciples."

"For a sect to develop and maintain its peak state, a strong core is indispensable!"

"As long as our core strength is sufficient and plentiful, what is there to fear?"

Lu Ming's eyes gleamed, "As it happens, my mass elixir refinement technique perfectly fits this idea."

"I can refine a large number of high-quality fifth-rank and below elixirs."

"If we can't compete in talent, we'll compete in resources and elixirs!"

"Using high-quality elixirs, we can forcefully elevate those with average and above-average talents to a level just below geniuses!"

"If we can't compete in quality, we'll compete in quantity!"

"If our sect has millions of disciples with middle-tier strength, whether they are geniuses or not becomes irrelevant."

"Above, we have the Sect Master, Elders, and Grand Elders to support us."

"Below, we have millions of middle-tier disciples and millions of talented individuals thriving."

"With this, what's there to fear about a lack of successors?"

"Who would dare say that our sect is lacking in successors?"

Bang~ Princess Ji Haoyue slammed her hand on the table and stood up, "Brilliant!"

"Too brilliant!"

"If this is the case, I, as the sect master, want to see who dares to speak nonsense and who dares to look down on our sect?"

"Not only that, when these millions of disciples grow up, they can all become the backbone of our sect..."

"After a thousand or even ten thousand years!"

"Our sect will become incredibly powerful!"

"Having over ten thousand seventh-rank disciples is not impossible!!!"

"Too conservative!"

Lu Ming spoke softly, "My mass elixir refinement technique can still be gradually improved. In the future, I might even be able to refine high-rank elixirs in bulk."

"At that time, there might even be hundreds of thousands of seventh-rank disciples!"

"Thousands, or even tens of thousands of eighth-rank disciples!!!!"

"That will be the strongest era and the most dazzling future of our sect."

Hiss!!! Lu Ming's words sent shivers down Princess Ji Haoyue's spine, making her skin crawl.

They couldn't help but tremble.

Too thrilling! If the sect really had thousands, or even tens of thousands of eighth-rank cultivators...

Wow! Wouldn't they be unstoppable under the Sacred Land?

"Too brilliant!"

"Elder Lu, you truly have wisdom as profound as a demon. You are indeed a role model for us all!"

They were all very excited.

However, Princess Ji Haoyue hesitated, "This method... it's almost perfect. But Elder Lu, won't it be too exhausting for you? You must know that our sect has millions of disciples, even if we only count the fifth-rank and below disciples."

"If we add the various affiliated forces, this number is already enormous."

"And these are just the current generation of disciples."

"There are also disciples from previous generations who, due to insufficient talent or various other reasons, have not yet broken through to the sixth rank and above. If we include them..."

"Wouldn't it be too much for just one person?"

"Wouldn't it be too tiring for you?"

The elders' faces changed slightly.

This was indeed a problem.

The plan was good, but the prerequisite was having enough elixirs!

Moreover, they had to be high-quality elixirs; otherwise, how could those disciples be elevated?

Therefore, the other elixir refiners in the sect couldn't handle it, and it had to rely on Lu Ming alone.

One person, solving the elixir needs of millions of disciples, and all of them requiring high-quality elixirs?

This was too exaggerated; wouldn't it tire him to death?

"I'm fine!"

Lu Ming took a deep breath and patted his chest, "I'll give my all for the sect, and I believe the sect will not let me down in the future!"

"I, Lu Ming, am willing to dedicate myself to the sect, even to the point of death!"

"This matter is settled!"

"Starting tomorrow!"

"After I rest tonight, I'll start refining elixirs tomorrow, providing high-quality elixirs for our sect and all the affiliated forces' fifth-rank and below cultivators."

"Starting from seventh-rank elixirs!!!!"

"I won't say more."

"I ask the Sect Master and elders to prepare the necessary resources and quickly procure the required medicinal ingredients. If they are insufficient... I have some personal reserves."

"If it's not enough, I'll make up for it personally!"

"How can this be?" Princess Ji Haoyue quickly said, "For this matter, you'll undoubtedly be very tired. The sect should compensate you, how can you..."

"No need for more words!"

"For the sect, what's there to say?!"

Lu Ming strode away.

Leaving Princess Ji Haoyue and the other elders looking at each other with gratitude and tears in their eyes.

"Elder Lu is truly..."

"So noble and upright, he is indeed a role model for us all!"

"Elder Lu has only joined the sect for a short time, but he is willing to dedicate himself so selflessly, even using his own resources. Compared to him, we, the older generation, are truly unworthy."

"Elder Lu is truly a good person!"

"What virtue and ability does our sect possess?

How much good fortune did it take for Elder Lu to take pity on us? It's truly..."

"Hmph, Elder Rain used to target Elder Lu everywhere. It's as if his heart was blinded by pig fat. I think he's just jealous of Elder Lu's talent and wisdom!"

"Elder Rain was truly in the wrong."

"Then what should we do now?"

"Sect Master, how about issuing a decree?"

"..."

Ji Haoyue took a deep breath, "We'll do as Elder Lu says! How can we possibly let down Elder Lu's sincere love for the sect?"

"But we must ensure the logistics!"

"We can't let Elder Lu worry about this matter."

At the same time..."

"We must also inform all the disciples that this was Elder Lu's suggestion, that it was Elder Lu who made it happen, that all the elixirs were made by Elder Lu himself, and that Elder Lu even paid out of his own pocket to make up for the lack of spiritual herbs caused by that bastard Tang Wu..."

"It won't be as bad as making a hero bleed and cry, but we can't let Elder Lu's heart turn cold!"

"Otherwise, who else will dedicate themselves so selflessly for the sect in the future?"

Ji Haoyue slammed the table, "All of you, get going and take care of it!"

"Bring out all the necessary resources, and if it's not enough, go buy some!"

"Go and purchase them at a high price!"

"Even if our sect has to tighten our belts for a while, we must meet Elder Lu's demand for spiritual herbs."

"Yes!"

"We'll take care of it right away."

"Speaking of which, our sect shouldn't be lacking in resources, especially for the spiritual herbs needed for low-grade elixirs, which are more than sufficient. Unfortunately..."

"Damn that bastard Tang Wu!"

"That bastard Tang Wu really pisses me off!"

"Our sect's spiritual herb storehouse was emptied by him, leaving nothing behind!"

"Otherwise, why would we be so worried?"

"Damn it!"

"I'll kill him sooner or later!"

"..."

...

"A Qiu!"

"A Qiu, A Qiu!"

On a small island in a certain ocean.

Tang Wu, who was taking a temporary break, suddenly sneezed three times in a row, his nose itching intensely.

"What's going on?"

He rubbed his nose and said angrily, "I can't possibly have caught a cold, can I?"

"I've only been soaking in the water for nearly two months..."

"Hmph!"

"I can't be bothered with all that."

"Even if there's something strange in this sea, I'm determined to go down there, find the ancient ruins, and obtain the heritage within."

"As long as I get that precious treasure..."

"Everything will change!"

"They will all die!!!"

"..."

...

The next day.

At the Moonlight Sect, Lin Fan began his elixir refinement! Meanwhile, under the arrangement of the elders, the news spread far and wide.

All the disciples learned of this, and they couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

"Oh my god!!!"

"Elder Lu is personally refining elixirs for us? For... us??"

"Even I, an outer sect disciple, get a share?"

"Even the disciples in charge of odd jobs, and those with mediocre talent from the previous generation, get a share!!!"

"Is there such good fortune?"

"Has our sect suddenly become so benevolent?"

"Hmph, I heard that this was Elder Lu's suggestion, and he made it happen with his own strength. The elixirs were also refined by him alone. Even though our sect lacks spiritual herbs due to that bastard Tang Wu, Elder Lu paid out of his own pocket to make up for it, allowing us to refine enough elixirs!"

"What? Is this true?"

"Elder Lu..."

"Hiss!!!"

"..."

The ordinary disciples' admiration for Lu Ming instantly reached its peak! Especially when evening arrived, and the elixirs were distributed...

Seeing that the elixirs were at least seventh-rank and suitable for their cultivation realms, the Moonlight Sect disciples were all stunned.

They were so excited that their bodies trembled, and they even had tears in their eyes!

"Oh my god!!!"

"It's really true?!"

"This is the first time I've ever seen a seventh-rank elixir!"

"Hahaha, I'm an inner sect disciple, and I got a ninth-rank one!!!"

"Ahhhh, I'm already over 1,700 years old, and I thought the fourth realm would be my limit. But who would've thought... from now on, Elder Lu is like a second parent to me!!!"

"Whoever wants to trouble Elder Lu, they'll have to step over my old corpse first!"

"It's not your turn yet. If anyone's going to step over a corpse, it'll be mine!"

"Me too!"

"I've decided that after returning to my cave mansion, I'll set up a longevity tablet for Elder Lu and worship it daily!"

"Elder Lu... must be very tired, right?"

"Who can get in touch with Elder Lu? Please let us know, we're very concerned about his health, and he mustn't overwork himself."

"Yes... we're so grateful, but Elder Lu must take care of himself."

"I heard that Elder Lu is also a candidate for the Sect Master position?"

"..."

...

"It's really exhausting."

"Even with the nourishment of spiritual energy, I wouldn't have been able to refine so many elixirs in one day."

Lu Ming wiped the cold sweat from his brow, his hands trembling slightly.

This was the first time he had refined so many elixirs!

The so-called mass refinement method was simply using the clone technique to refine them together. Since he had ample experience in elixir refinement, there weren't any issues with elixirs below the fifth rank.

Fortunately, he didn't have to refine them every day.

Today was just the first day, so he felt extremely tired.

In the future, he could split the refinement process.

After cultivating for a night, Lu Ming summoned Wen Ruyan.

She quickly arrived and saw Lu Ming's pale face and trembling hands, her heart ached, and she hurriedly came closer, tightly holding his hands, and asked with concern, "Elder Lu, why are you pushing yourself so hard?"

"I understand you're doing this for the sect, but how can you mistreat yourself like this?"

"Please, Ruyan, even if it's for yourself, for Ruyan..."

"I'm not tired."

Lu Ming forced a smile.

Seeing his smile, Wen Ruyan's heart almost broke. She said, "How can you not be tired? Why don't you take better care of yourself?"

"Please rest, and we can talk about this after you've rested..."

"I'll rest soon, but I called you here because there's something I need to ask of you."

Lu Ming took out a jade bottle and said, "This is for you, as well as for the other disciples in the sequence.
