the restaurant waiter bowed and explained, "Master Xin insisted on rushing in, we..."Zhong Xuan Sheng did not speak, but simply waved his hand, signaling for them to leave.The door was shut again, and...Ai Shu Wang website address is: Out of the secret chamber, Zhuge Jun and Wei Bofang stood respectfully before the main hall.

They are all intelligent people and are very clear about where their current positions come from. Once they lose Jiang Wang's support, those who have taken their places will not let them go first.

Jiang Wang originally wanted to plunder the Lingkong Hall's treasury, but the treasury truly didn't have much left. They were mostly some mediocre magical artifacts. Even if he sold them, it would be difficult to get a good price. After obtaining the true "Lingkong Hall," he cared even less about this. In the end, he decided to keep a little as an image for the hall master.

“Lead the way to the Hall of Transmission, this seat wants to take a look at the secret arts of our temple.” Jiang Wang shifted his attention to the esoteric martial arts of Lingkong Temple.

A long-established sect should have some secret techniques hidden away.

The sect master mastering the sect's techniques is only natural, and Wei Bofang would naturally not refuse.

In his and Zhuge Jun's view, the new hall master was probably a bit of a money-lover, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Cherishing possessions means cherishing the Lingkong Hall itself.

From this point of view, the first thing a newly appointed hall master does after taking charge is to understand their "assets," which is understandable.

Even if he didn't understand, he would force himself to understand, at least pretending to comprehend.

As they continued their journey, the group turned into the Hall of Transmission.

The guards at the Chuan Gong Hall were a bit stricter than those at the Feng Dian, but they wouldn't stop their own master.

Jiang Wang easily entered the secret library of martial arts techniques and plundered his gains.

The various levels of martial arts and secret techniques in Lingkong Hall are all recorded in three jade slips. Disciples of different levels practice martial arts of different levels. After the restrictions are lifted by the imprint passed down by Lingkong Hall, a divine sense touch can reveal them. Mobile端：

Dou Mian can bring Zhong Qin to Chi Yun Mountain, and his control over Lingkong Temple will be more thorough than Jiang Wang's. These secret arts of Lingkong Temple are no longer secrets to the former master Dou Mian, and the most important parts should have been replicated in the Dou family.

Jiang Wang had no reason to be possessive, so after understanding it somewhat, he directly contributed everything to the stage.

Lingkong Hall, though it has experienced several devastating calamities throughout its long history, is still a venerable sect. The techniques and secrets it has preserved in the Transmission Hall are truly dazzling.

Unfortunately, after donating to the performance stage, I didn't receive much in return.

Hundreds of scattered cultivation techniques and over a thousand Dao arts, the foundation of a sect, in the end only exchanged for two thousand one hundred points of Fa.

Given the inclination of the Path of Dao towards innovation, these techniques should have already been contributed by others, which is why they yield such low returns. The most likely candidate is Doumian. It's perfectly normal for someone from the formidable Dou clan of Great Chu to possess a quota for the Illusory Realm.

Thinking about it this way, Dou Mian didn't actually lose much in this deal. He had already squeezed the value out of Lingkong Hall once, and now he was passing it on to Jiang Wang to buy his life. The discontent on Chiyun Mountain before seemed more like a performance done to prevent Jiang Wang from demanding too much.

If it weren't for Jiang Wang finding the true "Lingkong Hall" in the secret treasury of Fengdian, this deal wouldn't have been worth more than a million Dao Yuan stones.

All in all, both parties had their own goals and kept some things hidden. They ultimately achieved what they set out to do.

Jiang Wang originally had 2,300 points of Fa in the Illusory Realm of Vast Nothingness. He was only 700 points short of advancing to the next level. With this new income, he immediately propelled his Path-Treading Stage to the third level, and even had an extra 1,200 points of Fa. Because of the fame effect of being the first Dragon Ascender in Vast Nothingness, the third-level Path-Treading Stage possessed the effects of a fourth level.

As for the third layer truly ascending to the fourth, it already requires a full one hundred thousand Dharma points. Jiang Wang now only needs to unseal, which also requires thirty thousand Dharma. In the short term, there is almost no possibility of promotion visible. It's unknown how Zuo Guanglie pushed the Dao Stage to such a terrifying level back then...

The cultivation techniques of Lingkong Hall, Jiang Wang had not looked at any of them. Not to mention there were no techniques that led directly to the peak, not even those involving the arrival of the gods, it was as if someone had uprooted them entirely.

There is no such thing as a powerful technique from the era of Yun Ding Xian Gong.

However, it makes sense. If Ling Kong Hall truly had cultivation techniques of that level, they would be impossible to keep safe until now; they would have been plundered long ago.

In comparison, the Taoist system of Lingkong Hall was more complex, primarily focusing on Yunfa. There were indeed some shining aspects within it. However, Jiang Wang had no desire to cultivate.

First, he overindulges and focuses on the fire and wood schools of Taoism, already forming his own combat system. Second, for the same reason, these Dao techniques are well-known to him, and with the Dou family's foundation, countless ways to crack them can be easily created. Considering Jiang Wang's talent and level, investing too much effort in these Dao techniques would be a losing proposition.

Regarding matters of cultivation, Jiang Wang had always been very clear-headed.

After roughly summing up the profits of Ling Kong Hall, Jiang Wang's trip could be considered a success. The Ling Kong Hall currently existing in the ruins of Yun Ding Immortal Palace was his most desired gain. As for the rest, more or less, they were all considered bonuses and there wasn't much to covet.

With such a mindset, after leaving the secret library of martial arts techniques, Jiang Wang casually exchanged a few words with his two most trusted confidants before suddenly turning to Wei Bofang: "Elder Wei, if you were in charge of Lingkong Hall, what do you think Do you have confidence in running it well"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Wei Bo Fang panicked at once, pointing to the heavens and earth as he swore: "Heaven and earth bear witness, the sun and moon can testify. My loyalty to the Lord of the Hall is unwavering, I have absolutely no intention of overstepping my bounds!"

Whether it's acting or real, Jiang Wang highly approves of this attitude.

"With a slight smile, he said calmly: "I'm saying, what if you took the position of Hall Master as the Chief Elder The Lingkong Hall naturally belongs to me, but I have more important matters to attend to and am devoted to my cultivation. I'm afraid I don't have much time to manage the sect's affairs. If I were to find someone to be in charge of these things, Elder Wei, as a founding elder, you are very familiar with this hall and highly respected by everyone. You would truly be the best choice."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He spoke plainly, and Wei Bofang understood that this was not a test. After a moment's thought, he immediately said: "A person of your caliber naturally aspires to reach the pinnacle of extraordinary power. A shallow place like Ling Kong Dian cannot contain a true dragon for long."

This old geezer first gave a flattering compliment, then looked earnest and said: "Minor matters of the sect, if left entirely to my subordinates, I will definitely do my best. I will follow your established strategies wholeheartedly and never deviate. Everything revolves around your ideas, Lord Master, and I will safeguard this foundation for you!"

He grasped the key points quickly and was very clear-headed, knowing what Jiang Wang wanted and didn't want. He made his promises. Of course, how credible they were, only he knew for sure.

Jiang Wang had initially planned to raid Ling Kong Dian like a mountain bandit, taking whatever valuables he could and disappearing. He intended to leave the temple to fend for itself. However, the "Han Chan" of Ling Kong Dian made him change his mind. The majority of Ling Kong Dian's value was immovable, and raiding it wouldn't be worth the effort.

Since she had already obtained her desired harvest, Jiang Wang decided to casually drop a piece and let Ling Kong Dian develop on its own for a while, seeing what results it would yield.

It's good if it can be done, but if not, there isn't much loss.

He certainly wouldn't stay in the country for long, so someone would be needed to carry out his will regarding the operation of Lingkong Hall.

Now, in the Lingkong Hall, besides Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun, he had no other choice.

Although Zhuge Jun was promoted to the position of elder, he was only at the Tenglong Realm cultivation level and had no possibility of suppressing others. If he ascended to power, he would die without knowing how.

Therefore, Wei Bo-fang was the only one who could take on the role of the Palace Master.

The first to surrender, Zhuge Jun, could serve as a check and balance piece, representing his continued presence in Lingkong Hall.

"Elder Zhuge," Jiang Wangji spoke, having already made a decision. He asked, "Would you be willing to take on the position of Inspector, overseeing the movement within our sect when I am not present"

Zhuge Jun carefully glanced at Wei Bo Fang, saying that this position was set up to counterbalance Wei Bo Fang, but he didn't have the guts to monitor him.

However, though he was guilty, he knew more clearly than anyone where his current power and status came from.

Loyalty, or at least the outward display of it, was his only advantage, and his only option.

"My subordinate is willing to give my life for the Lord." He respectfully replied, "However, my sect already has an elder responsible for supervision, namely the three elders."

There were originally five elders in the Lingkong Hall. After Zhong Qin's death and removal from the list, Wei Bofang was promoted from the second seat to the chief seat. Zhuge Jun had just become an elder and his strength was relatively inferior, so he naturally took the last seat out of respect.

Jiang Wang gave him a meaningful glance: “Now you are the Elder of the Third Seat.”

Zhu Gejun hurriedly bowed down: "I am willing to die for the Lord!"

Jiang Wang waved his hand: "I don't care what you say, I only care about what you do."

His gaze swept from Wei Bo to Zhuge Jun, then handed over a jade slip: "This Ling Mie Scroll is awarded to you. I hope you will soon unlock its inner secrets. Truly make your strength worthy of your status, so that others have nothing to say."

The "Ling Mie Scroll" is one of the three techniques housed in the Chuan Gong Hall that can directly lead to the outer floors. It is not something that Zhuge Jun, a cultivator at the Tenglong Realm, could access. It can be said that only after perfecting this technique could he truly be considered an elder.

Zhu Gejun took the "Ling Mie Juan", and those cunning triangular eyes suddenly welled up with tears. He choked out, “My parents gave me life, but the Master knows me best! I, Zhu Gejun, have been looked down upon all my life, only the Master treated me sincerely. From now on, this life belongs to the Master!”

Jiang Wang didn't know how sincere these few tears of his were, nor did he care. He then took out a jade belt and handed it to Wei Bo Fang: "I see that Elder Wei is dressed in plain clothes, and I think you are a simple person. I wonder if this magic weapon suits your liking"

Wei Bo Fang naturally expressed his gratitude once again.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After Wei Bofang made his promise, Jiang Wang did not immediately agree to his position. Instead, he first arranged for Zhuge Jun, a subtle reminder to Wei Bofang. He let the man know that his power and status were bestowed by someone else.

After Zhuge Jun, he became his eyes and ears, but at the same time, he shared glory with Wei Bo Fang. Wei Bo Fang not only couldn't resist Zhuge Jun, but instead supported him even more, helping Zhuge Jun establish his authority.

Whether this arrangement will work and be effective, it needs time to test. Jiang Wang himself doesn't have much confidence.

Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun are not easy characters to control.

But this is just a casual stroke of the pen.

Whether it was the Scroll of Extinction or the jade pendant artifact, they were both things from Lingkong Hall. Jiang Wang didn't really care, so offering them up as a gesture was like giving away flowers; he felt no pain at all.

If I could gain something.

Chengguo is right next to Zhuangguo. If we can truly establish a firm foothold here, there will be great prospects for the future.
