"

"I'll take care of it, but..."

"At this moment, I really feel like resting, so I'm asking you to handle it. Can you do it?"

Wen Ruyan took the jade bottle, and for a moment, it felt as heavy as ten thousand pounds.

She could barely hold it!

"I'll definitely do it and won't keep a single pill for myself!"

"Good, but remember to do it secretly."

Lu Ming forced another smile and blinked, saying, "I'm really swamped and couldn't prepare for everyone. Besides, I don't have that many spirit herbs left."

"If this becomes widely known, many of the direct disciples might become discontent."

"Go quickly."

"..."

Wen Ruyan was almost pushed out of Lu Ming's cave mansion.

Her head buzzed.

"So... that's why."

"Is Elder Lu personally providing resources for us?"

Her eyes turned red, and she recalled Lu Ming's words at the Lan Yue Sect competition, "They have them, so you should have them too."

Wen Ruyan couldn't help but feel a sourness in her nose.

"Elder Lu, you're truly..."

"He keeps his promises. But how many times more disciples does the Hao Yue Sect have than the Lan Yue Sect? It's just you, why push yourself so hard?"

She opened the jade bottle and took out her portion. In an instant, she stood there, frozen, as two lines of clear tears flowed down her cheeks... The warmth in her hand made her unable to hold back her tears.

The sourness and emotion in her heart had reached their peak.

This pill... was still warm!

It was clearly freshly made!

In other words, after Elder Lu's exhausting day of refining high-quality elixirs for all the first to fifth realm disciples in the sect, he stayed up all night to refine pills for himself and the sequence disciples? And... they were all Ninth Rank!

Recalling Lu Ming's pale face and trembling hands, her heart broke.

"Creak!"

She clenched her teeth.

"I'll definitely not let your efforts go to waste."

She hurried to deliver the pills and prepared to return and cultivate with all her might...

...

Inside the cave mansion.

Lu Ming lay on the bed, muttering softly, "If I do this a few more times, the support rate of the Hao Yue Sect disciples for me should be almost full, right?"

"But it's truly exhausting."

What? Providing resources?

Their talents are there, but what does it matter if their resources are maxed out? If the Lan Yue Sect casually produces a few main characters, they can suppress them all!

Moreover... if my plan succeeds, after some time, they'll all be my people. You're talking about providing resources? Hmph!

Lu Ming wasn't afraid of this.

If his plan succeeds, there's no need to worry about providing resources.

Even if the plan fails, it doesn't matter.

They're just lower-level disciples. Even if they all soar, it's not a big deal.

Giving them resources for a long time, consistently providing elixirs suitable for their realms, they might indeed become the pillars of the sect. But... how could Lu Ming possibly provide for them for that long?

So... just do it!

As the elixirs were distributed, the disciples all experienced the benefits of high-grade pills.

"Wow!!!"

"I'm going crazy!"

"I've never experienced such an astonishing cultivation speed."

"Don't laugh, but I've always thought of myself as useless, with average talent and a slow cultivation speed that even pigs would shake their heads at. But guess what? Last night, I broke through two small realms in one night!

That's when I realized it wasn't that my talent was so poor that even pigs would shake their heads, but that I lacked sufficient resources."

"It's not about lacking resources, the Hao Yue Sect's resources aren't bad, at least among sects of the same level. It's definitely not lacking!"

"Elder Lu is truly great!"

"Praise Elder Lu."

"Praise the great Elder Lu."

"From now on, Elder Lu is my guiding light, the god in my heart!"

"Who dares to disrespect Elder Lu, I'll be the first to punish them!"

"Hmph, what a joke!"

"What, do you want to disrespect Elder Lu?"

"No, don't misunderstand, I mean... look over there!"

"You'll be first? With so many people, how will it be your turn? Who do you think you are?"

"Er..."

It's not about not recognizing quality, but comparing it to others.

Lu Ming's action directly improved their 'food' by many times over, and their cultivation speed rose accordingly, especially with their first taste of high-quality elixirs, the effect was almost 'heaven-defying'.

Each of them showed noticeable progress.

The respect and admiration for Lu Ming became even more astonishing.

It was almost as if they had reached their peak.

And it wasn't just them.

Wen Ruyan knew that Elder Lu, the Heaven's Pride, was even more grateful, wishing to serve Elder Lu with all her might!

Wen Ruyan even took the initiative and moved her own dojo to Elder Lu's 'doorstep'.

Not because of being close to the source gives an advantage.

Only if Lu Ming has any instructions or needs someone to run errands, I can help at the first opportunity.

At the same time, I can also take care of Lu Ming and spare him from such exhaustion.

Elder Lu is too kind!

If I don't keep an eye on him, he'll definitely work tirelessly, disregarding his health, and desperately refine pills.

Me... How can I not watch over him?

...

"Brilliant!!!"

A few days later.

Ji Haoyue and the elders gathered, but Lu Ming was in secluded pill refinement.

At this moment, everyone had smiles on their faces, and their back teeth were almost visible.

"Elder Lu's proposal is a stroke of genius!"

"Indeed, these days, those lower-ranked and even the bottom-ranked disciples have gone 'crazy'! Each and every one of them is frantically cultivating, and their enthusiasm has already reached an unprecedented level."

"I've never seen them cultivate so passionately."

"It's not just about increased enthusiasm! Their strength is also rapidly improving. Every day of cultivation shows results, and there are obvious improvements."

"In these past few days, the number of times they've broken through is more than the total of the past year combined. If this continues..."

"I dare to be certain that Elder Lu's plan will definitely not have any problems!!!"

"Of course!" Ji Haoyue laughed heartily, "Elder Lu is truly the lucky star of our Moon Embrace Sect."

"Indeed," the Grand Elder stroked his beard and smiled, "However, we are not only grateful to Elder Lu, but also to the Sect Master. If it weren't for the Sect Master's decision to invite Elder Lu as a guest advisor in the shortest time possible, how could we have such good news today?"

"The Grand Elder's words are very true. However, it's not just about being grateful to the Sect Master. If it weren't for the Grand Elder taking on the responsibility in times of crisis and 'defeating' numerous opponents to bring Elder Lu back..."

The flattery begins!

After a moment, Ji Haoyue raised her hand and pressed it into the air, "There's no need for such exaggerated praise. Our Sect Master has always disliked such things. Let's get to the main topic."

Ah, yes, yes, yes.

The crowd secretly rolled their eyes.

Goddamn it, there's no need for such exaggerated praise. We've said all we could, and if you don't stop us, we won't know how to continue. If you listen to the end, you're saying you don't like these now?

If you really don't like it, you should've said so earlier!

But... these are all 'sincere words' that we dare not speak out loud.

"Yes, yes, the Sect Master's words are very true."

"Get to the main topic!"

Ji Haoyue nodded in satisfaction, "This flourishing and prosperous scene is all thanks to Elder Lu. Elder Lu is the great contributor to our Moon Embrace Sect!"

"Not only does he desperately refine pills, but he even spends his own money. We must ensure that Elder Lu is satisfied in other aspects, and we must not..."

They immediately implemented a series of measures to guarantee this.

Of course, there were also rewards.

First, the Moon Embrace Sect's top-tier techniques and secret arts, which could be considered the sect's pillars, were made fully available to Lu Ming.

As long as Lu Ming wanted to learn, he could borrow them at any time.

Various cultivation insights were also unconditionally available.

Cultivation resources were directly given to Lu Ming in large quantities, more than he could use.

Other guarantees were also fully provided.

However, in the end, there was also an attendant who spoke in a low voice, "Sect Master, esteemed elders, there's something that has happened recently, and I'm not sure if I should tell you about it."

"Speak!"

"You are a cultivator, an attendant of our sect, and a respected elder. Why are you so hesitant?"

"Speak quickly!"

"..."

"Yes."

"Recently, I've discovered that the disciples' admiration for Elder Lu has far exceeded my imagination. They respect Elder Lu as if he were a god, and I don't doubt..."

"If the Sect Master and Elder Lu were to give conflicting orders, most of them would unconditionally follow Elder Lu's command."

"I don't know if it's good or bad, but I ask for your decision."

"What's this?" The Grand Elder laughed, "If it were you, receiving high-quality elixirs after a long drought, and your cultivation speed skyrocketing, you would be the same!"

"It's only natural!"

"Yes, it's only natural."

Everyone felt it made sense.

As for rebellion, they had never even considered it.

It's not that it's impossible, but even if there were a rebellion, there's no fear.

They're just lower-ranked disciples, and at least for a hundred years, they won't cause any significant trouble. What's the harm in them listening to Lu Ming?

...

Elder Lu's sincere dedication to the sect is as clear as the sun and moon!

Why worry about these imaginary problems?

"I... I understand." The attendant spoke again, "But in a sect, how can there be two 'Sect Masters'?"

"I fear that in the future..."

"If there's a split in the sect..."

"It's only natural." Ji Haoyue waved her hand, "Elder Lu has no issues!"

"Moreover, the reason we invited Elder Lu back is to have him refine pills and enhance our sect's strength. Elder Lu is almost desperately refining pills, how can we doubt him?"

"From now on, no one is allowed to speak ill of Elder Lu, or they'll be sent to the Reflection Cliff!"

"As for having two Sect Masters in one sect..."

Ji Haoyue laughed, "That's not a problem at all."

"Having two Sect Masters in one sect is indeed harmful.

"But, our Moon Embrace Sect will soon advance to become a top-tier sect."

"By then, I will have reached the Ninth Realm."

"It's time to step down and pass on the mantle."

"Actually..."

He sighed, "For me, in a way, the position of Sect Master has become more of a burden, with too many trivial matters to handle."

"If I weren't the Sect Master, I might have entered the Ninth Realm long ago. Why wait until now to make the final preparations?"

"Sect Master!" The Elder interrupted, "I'm not worried about you."

"Your position is naturally unshakable, but your successor...they might not be able to..."

"You make a valid point."

Unexpectedly, this time, Ji Haoyue didn't argue, but instead smiled and said, "However, you're overthinking it."

"The successor doesn't have enough prestige, and Elder Lu's prestige is too high, leading to various problems?"

"This concern is not unreasonable, but it's a bit excessive."

"Do you forget that Elder Lu is one of the candidates for the Sect Master position?"

"His prestige is too high?"

"If his prestige is indeed that high, why not directly elect Elder Lu as the Sect Master? Wouldn't that be ideal?"

"Not only does no one within the sect have any objections, but with Elder Lu's sense of responsibility, once he becomes the Sect Master, he will work even harder in pill refinement, won't he?"

"This..."

"Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

"Is there anything more perfect in this world?"

Ji Haoyue shook his head, "Don't blame me for scheming against Elder Lu. I want him to take on this position and handle the sect's affairs."

"I am still the Sect Master, so it's natural for me to consider the entire sect."

"So, this villain..."

"I'll take the blame!"

"Please, for the sake of the sect, don't tell Elder Lu."

"..."

"If that's the case..."

The elders looked at each other, "Sect Master, you've already decided. The next Sect Master will be Elder Lu?"

"What other choice is there?"

Ji Haoyue sighed lightly, "I was also considering this, and had many hesitations."

"The best scenario is naturally to choose one of our direct disciples who is both virtuous and talented, with exceptional talent. If we can't find anyone suitable, then Elder Lu is the best choice."

"Although Elder Lu is excellent, he joined the sect later. If we choose him, some might gossip."

"But..."

"Elder Lu has repeatedly made remarkable contributions and demonstrated the terrifying abilities of a Great Master of Alchemy."

"He can almost single-handedly carry the entire sect forward!"

"If not him, then who?"

"This is a wise strategy. Although it's a bit unfair to Elder Lu, for the sake of the sect, I have no choice but to go along with it."

"Please keep this confidential and don't tell Elder Lu!"

The elders: "..."

Wow.

You're something else, Ji Haoyue.

I thought you were straightforward and kind, but look at you now.

"Sect Master, you can't be blamed for this. After all, you have to consider the entire sect." The Grand Elder sighed, "Elder Lu...sigh, we really are a bit unfair to him."

"But when does the Sect Master plan to step down?"

"Let's wait a little longer."

"After I make the necessary preparations, I'll make a trip to the Nine Heavens Celestial Mountain."

"Once I successfully break through and condense immortal energy to become a true Ninth Realm cultivator, I can step down upon my return."

"After all, Ninth Realm cultivators need immortal energy to continue their breakthroughs, and I'll likely spend most of my time at the Nine Heavens Celestial Mountain, making it difficult to manage sect affairs."

"At that time, I'd also prefer to focus on my cultivation."

Ji Haoyue expressed his thoughts, and the elders nodded in agreement.

This made perfect sense.

The Grand Elder added, "There's another matter, Sect Master. You may need to delay your retirement a little."

"After our Moon Embrace Sect becomes a top-tier sect, it won't be too late to step down."

"This..."

"That's also fine. It's not urgent to retire at that moment."

Ji Haoyue nodded slightly.

Advancing to a top-tier sect will undoubtedly bring some trouble, and there will be those who come to cause trouble. It's better to handle these matters while I'm still in power.

Moreover, my plan is already a bit unfair to Lu Ming. If I can handle some of the troubles, I'll do so.

Otherwise, if Lu Ming suddenly quits, the one who suffers the loss will be the Moon Embrace Sect.

"That's great."

The elders all smiled.

One of them spoke softly, "If that's the case, our next Sect Master is basically..."

"What do you mean by 'basically'?" Another elder corrected, "It's Elder Lu!"

"Who else but Elder Lu?"

The Grand Elder sighed, "Thinking back, since Elder Lu joined the sect, although it hasn't been long, he has shed blood for our sect and contributed greatly."

"He has repeatedly made remarkable contributions."

"Not to mention, during the Rain Clan's scheme, if not for Elder Lu's objectivity and calmness, we might have already clashed with the Lan Yue Sect, and with their strength, how many of us would have died?"

"Among those present, many of us might have died."

"Regarding the matter in the Void God Realm, if not for Elder Lu's quick thinking, how could we have braved the fire and snatched food from the Lan Yue Sect, our enemy's jaws, causing them great dissatisfaction?"

"Not to mention, the vast number of high-quality elixirs Elder Lu has refined..."

"If not him, who else could be the Sect Master?"

"Not to mention the Sect Master's plan..."

"That's not what I meant." The questioner quickly clarified, "I'm not opposing Elder Lu as the Sect Master. I'm just saying, if it's already decided, I'll tell my disciple so he doesn't have to work so hard."

"Go wash up and sleep. Good cultivation is better than anything."

The others realized.

They remembered that his direct disciple was also one of the candidates for the Sect Master position.

"That's right."

"Tell your disciple to wash up and sleep."
