As I can see Tai Ye shuffle over to , only one question cos to mind.
What type of complicated thing must have Gong found out that she couldnt send over to through the ntal connection?
Being out in the open, I feel unsure about the content that shes going to be showing to out here.
Should we be having this done out here?
And I send that worry over to her.
She assures its fine, as many other major players already know what shes going to openly reveal. She also hints that would be better for others to see the intelligence of the hero group. Raising my value up.
My favorite giant spider waddles over and even I consent to the concern she has that Gong was careful to not reveal over the connection.
She quickly moves extrely close to (which honestly is a little frightening, as she is still an enormous spider). After making it so no one else can see, except the cultivator with his low-level spiritual sense, she makes a tiny web in the space between us.
Using this web and our connection, both Tai Ye and Gong essentially paint a picture of the events that have occurred while Ive been gone.
After the alchemy Guild had discovered they had failed the assassination attempt, they collected more information on . Part of that information was, of course, to find out the backing I had.
At the sa ti, big sis crane made her presence known and that she no longer would tolerate any other attempts on my life from them. Gong had felt suspicious about why this was allowed in the first place, but big sis crane wouldnt give a straight answer.
What she gave up to all parties involved is that everything but life was fair ga. To be specific, if they want to interfere in other portions of my life, they could. Similar to the last young mans (that I helped cross the finish line) master, she stated that if I couldnt overco sothing like this on my own, then I didnt deserve her protection.
From the little Gong could discern, its a test of sorts, to show Im worthy of Gongs affections. Just being able to survive an assassination attempt through indecipherable ans allowed her to go this far in her eyes.
However, this doesnt an other groups cant make attempts on my life. All the alchemy Guild has to do is set the stage for another group to take care of their problem for them. This sort of arrangent between big groups is common. Big sis crane believes her only job is to prevent the big groups from just killing outright. Smaller groups are up to to handle.
One other thing she did in my favor is that she wouldnt confirm or deny that the ability to co back from that assassination attempt was because of her intervention. She only hinted that I may have backing thats deeper than hers.
Sadly, it looks like the alchemy Guild is just assuming thats another way that she can protect .
It looks like the consensus on their side is that based on my history, theyve done enough that we cannot live under the sa sky.
I an, they killed . So, they have a bit of a point there.
What theyve done to stop my progress in the sect and turn things against them is to leverage their existing contacts to get involved in the testing process.
Every single judge for each of the tests is an alchemy Guild representative. And they are planning to disqualify for every test. Theyve already bribed the sect elder who is running the rest of the tests to make this happen. The only test that they couldnt manipulate is the spirit root test.
This is an open test and was the sects bottom line. If the spirit root is high enough, then they shouldnt block from progressing. After all, it would be to the sects strength if a strong cultivator joined.
If I want to get the sects protection, I would need to beco part of the inner court. Being part of that level, or affiliated with soone higher than that level, makes you a treasured part of the sect. The normal people, who even in a righteous sect like this one, are still used as the grunts or the red shirts of the sect.
If Im only part of the outer court, then an accident could happen, liked it has too many other disliked upcoming cultivators.
This is why the alchemy Guild cultivator was sitting outside of i Lin and Is room. He was using a tool to approximate my spirit root level.
Its also why the level that the sect would accept had increased. The Alchemy Guild pulled out a few stops to make sure a future enemy/competitor would not grow.
And Im not the first one theyve done things like this for. Things like this happen all the ti in the background. The scariest part is that they are simply exerting a small amount of effort. They even have an informal agreent setup with the sect to let things happen for a certain cost.
For them, manipulating these things behind the scenes is as easy as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.
But even with their strength, they went too far.
Big sis crane revoked her earlier restriction to just my life and forbid them from interacting any further with the situation. Beyond the plans theyve already made. Apparently, it was affecting so of her other plans.
But the damage has already been done. They basically have what they wanted.
In fact, this issue has likely been delegated to a lower ranked elder of their Alchemy Group and viewed as mostly resolved. All that needs to be done is for to go through the trials and have an accident arranged by a third party. Once Im in the outer court and take on a job, of course.
After hearing all of this from both of them, I cant help but rock back on my feet.
These are so huge developnts. Especially to be walking into the sect with.
Im still fucked, though.
Im not seeing an easy way to get into the inner court.
While they werent sure what my spirit root actually was, they still were close enough to determine that an increase could stop . This is obviously concerning on multiple levels. The only way I could increase my spirit route above that level, in such a short ti, is to upgrade my healing aura to where it can actually optimize my body to the highest level.
What this would also do is allowing to heal things that are outside the norm of my previous ability, such as ntal issues.
This would take an enormous number of conditions to heal. Not nearly enough to make it in ti.
And even if I raise my spirit root, Ill need a corresponding excuse on why it happened.
With that being all the revelations that she could gather for , Tai Ye heads back to the rest of the group.
The last suggestion Gong gives is to be as open about the abilities I was willing to show as possible (within limits, of course).
Sothing Ive already been doing by making all the concoctions for others.
With that hint, she leaves to consider my next steps.
Only one thought remains.
ssing with peoples profits and face is no joke
