Chapter 702 - Selling Skills, Not Body
Regarding the awakening of Senior Gem Emperor and the consolidation of the forces in the Earth Immortal Camp, Wang Lu immediately returned to report it to the top leadership of the Organizing Committee. Daoist He Tu personally presided over an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures. After a long period of discussion of half a day, the conclusions were as follows:
First, the leadership should be further strengthened, establish and implement the relevant responsibility systems, and improve the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals team. In short, in the face of emergencies, the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals must have a stronger response mechanism and leadership. Of the main members of this group, Wang Lu was naturally indispensable.
Second, they should be vigilant, improve the style of their work, and resolutely put an end to lax thinking. In short, they should start to be low key from now on. The atmosphere of three days of carnival for winning the match should be appropriately stopped, and some over-optimistic public opinion should be controlled. In fact, even without the awakening of Senior Gem Emperor, the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals was blindly optimistic. Many people thought that the Earth Immortal camp was no longer fearful, as long as Wang Lu took the initiative, the union would stay invincible… This superstition was undoubtedly a double-edged sword. Thus, it was now necessary to restrain it. The advantages of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals were not easy to come by, they should not lose them because of a moment of negligence.
Third, they should strengthen their diplomatic contacts with the Earth Immortals and keep abreast of the latest developments. In fact, the early work of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals was very weak. It had been half a year since the start of Grand Competition, but the official channels of communication between the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals and Earth Immortals were still not smooth. On the one hand, the killing tactics adopted by the Earth Immortals at the beginning of the competition had sharply deteriorated the relationship between the two sides. On the other hand, the leaderless situation of the Earth Immortal camp was also very serious because it caused them to never be able to establish a real sense of official organization. Thus, whenever Wang Lu wanted to meet with Xuan Mo, there was no open channel, only a private meeting.
Fourth, they should try to incite some of the members of the Earth Immortals to desert their camps, such as Xuan Mo, Bai Ze, and the man in black. Currently, the situation in the Earth Immortal camp was that opportunities and challenges coexisted with each other. Senior Gem Emperor, a strong leader who could consolidate and disperse power, if she could abandon those members and the union accepts them, the strength of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals would be greatly enhanced. This work naturally fell on Wang Lu because the relationship between Wang Lu and Xuan Mo had already been known in the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals circle.
During the discussion, the four major tasks were implemented to the people. Wang Lu, as the chief planner of the organizing committee, participated in almost every one of them, but the key work was obviously the fourth one. Because only in this piece his role could not be replaced.
The Union of Ten Thousand Immortals was not short of people who were good at planning and design. Although Wang Lu was outstanding in this respect, he might not be the first in the world. However, his strength lies in making innovations and reversing adversity. Right now the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals had succeeded in gaining the upper hand. As long as it followed the general plan laid down by Wang Lu, it could be carried out step by step. In this, many senior Elders could take the job, not necessarily Wang Lu alone.
However, his relationship with Xuan Mo was unique, and Xuan Mo’s popularity among the Earth Immortals was also unique. Through Xuan Mo, they could contact Bai Ze, the man in black, and others again. Many of the powerful Earth Immortals seemed to be joining them in the near future.
Compared with the first three tasks, this work was the least difficult but has the best effect, and could even be called instant. Thus the theme of the conference gradually turned to how to use Wang Lu to turn Xuan Mo. As the discussion became more and more heated, the inspiration of the Elders in the conference was constantly evolving. There were always new ideas about wooing Xuan Mo.
From the initial way of using logic to emotion, and then coupled with a fervent pitch from the Four Element Supreme. The topic sharply fell into three different roads. In this regard, Wang Lu had quite different opinions and had to interrupt in time.
“Elders, please listen to me.” Wang Lu patted the table and attracted everyone’s attention. “Please pay attention to the problem. I participated in the Organizing Committee and took the post of a chief planner. There is a basic principle in this. I, Wang Lu, only sell my skills, not my body.”
As soon as his voice fell, he heard an effeminate laughter from the Patriarch of the Yin and Yang School. “The way of men and women interacting is indeed a profound art, and Daoist Master Wang Lu is quite knowledgeable.”
Wang Lu said angrily, “Why don’t you ask several of your School members with big tools to come forward to serve Xuan Mo?”
The Yin and Yang Patriarch laughed and said, “How could those impotent fellows compare with Daoist Master Wang Lu?”
Four Element Supreme also advised him, “Wang Lu, this is a matter of great importance to the overall situation of the Nine Regions. You must not be emotional.”
Wang Lu sighed. “What Supreme said is magnificent, but in fact, you want to know about the reproduction between the modern cultivator and ancient Earth Immortal right?”
Four Element Supreme laughed and said, “It’s true that the two groups of people have been separated by the Age of Chaos. The laws concerning the surrounding spiritual energy are very different. Strictly speaking, the two are not even the same species. Whether reproductive segregation exists is worth investigating and studying.”
Wang Lu said, “If you want to investigate and study, then, by all means, Supreme can come forward in person. You are the master in this, so I’m sure you’ll be able to catch her.”
Four Element Supreme said, “Of course I have to personally come forward, but the first hurdle still needs to be overcome by Daoist Master Wang Lu. If you can do it, Daoist Master Wang Lu must not refuse! Rest assured, I will join you and cooperate with you as soon as possible after you have overcome the first hurdle. With my help, you can absolutely master the body and mind of Xuan Mo, even if she is an Earth Immortal.”
Wang Lu was shocked thinking that how could that person not have the face as an Elder? Under everyone’s eyes, he was asking him for a threesome?
In his astonishment, he heard the Patriarch of Yin and Yang School laughed. “I have heard for a long time that Four Element Supreme is highly skilled in such matters, which makes my heart beat faster. I wonder if there’s a chance to discuss such skills with Supreme?”
Four Element Supreme snorted. “Your sect’s method is crooked!” He always looked down upon cultivators who were drunk in physical intimacy but refuse to breed.
The Patriarch of Yin and Yang School said, “I know that Supreme always has an opinion about our Yin and Yang School, so we have long planned to change the purpose of our school and do our best for the reproduction of cultivators in Nine Regions.”
Four Element Supreme raised his white eyebrows. “Is your statement true?”
The Yin and Yang School Patriarch enchantingly smiled and said, “Whether it’s true or not, if Supreme comes to try it himself, won’t you know it?”
“Oh, you really want this old man to try it himself to know if you are truly intending to correct your crooked way!”
“I am very sincere, Supreme has to trust me.”
These two were talking merrily when Daoist He Tu coughed, sending violent fluctuation of magical power that swept through the conference room and making everyone’s primordial spirit tremble.
“That’s enough gossip for today.”
Wang Lu also thought so. “There are indeed too many idle talks. Let’s talk about Senior Gem Emperor.” This was the topic that occupied his mind not the one about selling his body.
As a result, Daoist He Tu turned to look at Wang Lu and said, “Daoist Master Wang Lu, the matter regarding Xuan Mo, I have to trouble you, I believe you can do it…”
“Whoa, Supreme, you can’t push me over the edge like this, since when the organizing committee in the business of prostitution? Where is the face of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals?”
Daoist He Tu said with a smile, “So you need to mobilize your wisdom and use the method other than using your body to turn Xuan Mo and the others. I believe that with your wisdom, you will find a way.”
“… Unexpectedly, the Supreme who is known as serious and stiff can also make a joke?”
Seeing this, one of the Elders at the room laughed and said, “Daoist Master Wang Lu, your popularity among the female cultivators in the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals is very high, that’s exactly due to this fleshy business. I believe this time you will be able to play a special role, and Xuan Mo will be in your pocket in no time.”
“Yes, that’s right. Daoist Master Wang Lu is very famous. I don’t know how many female cultivators in the City of Immortals that I have heard shouting to have children with you. You must not refuse any more!”
Seeing that the Elders became more and more unanimous in their opinion—he inwardly sneered; thinking that these faces of jealousy and envy were really ugly!
——
At the end of the meeting, the attending cultivators took their respective roles and rushed to their respective posts. Part of Wang Lu’s work was handed over to Hai Yunfan for a temporary period, and the other part to other senior Elders. All he had to do was to try and find ways to turn over Xuan Mo.
This was very difficult. If not, the Elders wouldn’t have clamored for Wang Lu to use his body to do it.
It was true that no one else could do it except him.
After coming out of the conference room, Wang Lu immediately went to the Heavenly Earth, wanting to see Xuan Mo again. However, this time, he couldn’t get in at all. When he put his hand into the swirl of stars, he couldn’t feel the position of Heavenly Earth.
Whether Xuan Mo did not want to see him again or Senior Gem Emperor did not want Xuan Mo to see him again; in short, he could not go to the Heavenly Earth and now the situation immediately became deadlocked.
Wang Lu and Xuan Mo had a good relationship, but they still have to meet each other before he could lobby her. Now they couldn’t even see each other, so how could he turn her over? Even more, pessimistically, Xuan Mo might have been overthrown by Senior Gem Emperor as a traitor because of their previous private meetings.
However, since the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals had handed over the task to him, he couldn’t just give up halfway without even trying—if he went back now and declared that the task had failed, many people would gloat and doubt about his ability as a man… Thus, even if it was a deadlock, he would try to stir up a wave.
Wang Lu had been standing in front of the swirl of stars for a long time, thinking patiently about his plan. When he was about to put it into action, he saw a change in the swirl of stars in front of him and someone came out.
“Oh, Bai Ze?”
The one who came out was Bai Ze, the vice leader of the group of Earth Immortals. Bai Ze looked tired and seemed to be burdened by the vicissitudes of life, far from the arrogant Earth Immortal that Wang Lu first met.
“Come with me.”
Bai Ze lightly said and then turned around and left. Wang Lu did not hesitate to keep up.
This time, he was all alone and was not protected by the number one Jindan in Nine Regions. He could hardly resist an attack from an Earth Immortal. However, Wang Lu knew very well that Bai Ze did not come to trouble him.
Because he was holding an item of Xuan Mo.
A delicate plum-blossom-shaped hairpin; which peaks were divided into two and each contained the Yin and Yang immortal spirit, which was the sole immortal method of Xuan Mo.
