Chapter 244: Chapter 243: Jiang Li t s Eloquence
Cʘntinue reading on ΒƟXN0VEL.ϹʘMIt was not really about seeking a marriage in the Dah Zhou Dynasty for the Luban Sect, rather they desired people’s recognition.
Through his conversation with Lu Yu, Jiang Li had a rough plan to address this issue.
Within the council hall of the Luban Sect, the Sect Master and three elders were discussing their relocation.
“How are the preparations? Are there any items that have not yet been listed?”
“We’re still counting, and it should be finished within two days, everything will then be packed into the Storage Ring.” The eldest elder was in charge of this part.
“Good.”
“Only, how should we handle buildings like our library, training fields and experiment sites? Let them stay or pack them into our Storage Ring and move them to Dah Zhou?” The eldest elder had a strong affection for these buildings as they were built by his own hands.
“Let them stay. After a few days, we will move to Dah Zhou. This place will still be the former site of the Luban Sect, we can’t leave it completely bare. I sense your hesitation, you don’t want to leave the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty, do you?”
The eldest elder heaved a sigh.
The Sect Master had no choice. Who would want to leave the Tianyuan
Emperor Dynasty and move to Dan znou It It was not torced( It was all because of being pushed into a corner by others.
“Did you find a new location in Dah Zhou, second elder?”
“We found a place, but the price is 30% higher than what we anticipated.” “Third elder, do we have enough Spirit Stones in our reserve?”
“If it’s only an increase of 30%, we can grit our teeth and manage it. However, the next few years might be a bit tough, especially when we just moved to a new place without any connections and there will be necessary expenditures. Likely, we can’t afford the disciples’ monthly stipends and can only repay them when we’re more stable again.” The third elder continued, “Alternatively, we can borrow from the Feiyun Commerce Association, but the interest rate will be higher than what we’re used to.”
The Sect Master gritted his teeth, “The disciples are in the golden period of their cultivation, we can’t let them suffer. Let’s borrow from the Feiyun Commerce Association! ”
All four of them had no experience with relocating their sect. After doing it firsthand, the challenges made them want to give up.
But when they thought about the doubts coming from the outside world about the Luban Sect, it sparked a fire in their hearts. This very fire propelled them to insistently move to Dah Zhou and prove to the world their relationship with puppets.
We love puppets so much that we could even marry them. Dah Zhou law has tolerated this, none of you have any reasons to mock and question us!
You can say that we’re all weird in your eyes, but you can’t question the relationship between us and the puppets, let alone sneer at us!
This is the bottom line.
“Do you really want to abandon your homeland and move to Dah Zhou? Why not take some time to consider it carefully?” Jiang Li walked into the hall with a hearty laugh and beside him was Yu Yin with a gourd at her waist.
“The Human Emperor.”
“Your Majesty.”
The four of them stood up and paid their respects at once.
“Does the Human Emperor mean to persuade us to stay here?”
Yu Yin said, “Sect Master Gong Su, do you really think that if you go to Dah Zhou and get married there, obtaining the power of law, people will stop commenting about you?”
The four of them fell silent. Indeed, even if they were to go to Dah Zhou and have their marriage recognized, that won’t necessarily silence the outside world.
Perhaps, people would say that the Luban Sect is taking advantage of loopholes in Dah Zhou law, stubbornly insisting on getting married, and this would be a constant source of ridicule.
Jiang Li said, “As the decision-makers of the Luban Sect, you can’t make a decision to relocate out of anger. Moving a sect is not child’s play.”
Sect Master Gong Yu considered it for a moment, then bowed his fist and said, “We understand the Human Emperor’s point, but as cultivators, even if we don’t compete for the status of immortality, we have to fight for our pride. Please forgive us, Your Majesty.”
The four of them felt a bit ungrateful. A Transcendence Tribulation Stage and a Mahayana Realm figure were advising them not to relocate.
They were aware that there were problems in the way they handled things.
But as they always say, cultivators do not compete with heaven, nor with earth, but they do compete with men, they compete with dignity, with their beliefs.
Jiang Li waved his hand with a laugh, “Before deciding, why don’t you listen to my point of view first?”
The four of them frowned slightly but patiently remained seated and listened.
Yu Yin was also curious about what Jiang Li’s solution would be.
“I can understand your intimacy and affection for the puppets, and I can also understand why you’ve made the decision to marry them, after all the puppets do have spiritual intelligence and souls, so they are naturally apt to be companions. There is nothing wrong with this.”
The four of them relaxed their brows slightly and their expressions did not look as tense.
“However, your concept is too advanced. The majority of people can’t accept it, just like when I first became a Mahayana Realm cultivator and many people didn’t believe it. After all, the last Mahayana Realm cultivator appeared thirty to forty thousand years ago, and only Chang Cun Xian Weng had seen it.” “Nevertheless, what is true remains true. Even those who are rigid in their thoughts must accept the fact that I am in the Mahayana realm, and that they need to treat Spiritual Treasures with respect as they now have Spirituality.”
“Despite this, there are still many ignorant people who have not realized the advent of the era where Spiritual Treasures have spirituality, and these ignorant people are the majority.”
“Acceptance needs a process, it can’t be achieved all at once.”
“The situation the Luban Sect is facing is similar to when I first became a Mahayana Realm cultivator. Becoming more intimate with a Spiritual Treasure is an inevitable trend. You guys are ahead of the wave, and more waves are coming.”
“You’ve made no mistake, you have merely advanced too far. All you need to do is to slow down and wait for the people behind.”
Yu Yin sent a message to her gourd, “Learn something from it.”
“Learn what, to get married to a spiritual treasure?” Ruyi Gourd was overjoyed at the prospect, but it became a bit apprehensive immediately. It was already on cloud nine from being stepped on by its owner, how could it be so entitled as to…
“Learn Jiang Li’s rhetoric!” Yu Yin widened her eyes, unsure of how Ruyi Gourd’s mind worked, always having such peculiar thoughts.
“Jiang Li emphasizes from the beginning that the Luban Sect did nothing wrong, which is his dominant theme, implying that he is on the same side as the Luban Sect. Therefore, the Luban Sect will listen to his further words, not feeling like Jiang Li is trying to smooth things over.”
“And then he uses being a Mahayana Realm cultivator as an example, applying his own experience, giving the Luban Sect a strong sense of accomplishment, as if they are worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as a Mahayana Realm cultivator.”
Yu Yin added quietly, at least she had heard about being a Mahayana Realm cultivator before, but she had never heard of people marrying Spiritual Treasures, not to mention a group wedding.
More than being on par with Mahayana Realm cultivators, it was a step beyond.
“Jiang Li then says that the majority of people in Jiuzhou are mistaken, making the Luban Sect feel they are the wise ones. Being the wise ones, they should have the patience to wait for the ignorant ones.”
“Jiang Li also switched concepts, changing marrying ‘Spiritual Treasures’ into having ‘intimate relationships’ with Spiritual Treasures.”
“Having close relationships with Spiritual Treasures is indeed the general trend, but marrying them is not necessarily so. But the Luban Sect, being flattered to cloud nine, will not mind such small details while they’re in high spirits.”
“Why switch concepts?” Ruyi Gourd was confused.
“To ensure that whatever he says remains correct. Even in the future, he can proudly revisit his words.”
“So does he actually think so?” Initially Ruyi Gourd believed that what Jiang Li said was right, but after analyzing it with its master, whether Jiang Li was making superficial remarks or was sincere was in question. “Does it matter whether his words are true or false?”
Ruyi Gourd fell silent.
It thought, just by the wisdom of a spiritual weapon, it was never advisable to outsmart a human, no wonder its older brother Yin Yang Heaven Seal gave in so fast without mentioning the matter of establishing a Spiritual Treasure Dynasty again. Otherwise, when the Spiritual Treasure Dynasty is established, it would be hard to say if it was humans or Spiritual Treasures that held the helm.
“Did you learn anything?”
“I learned to give up..”
