The reason why the apprentice said this was certainly not to make excuses, it was because Dong Qiankun had previously revealed that he wanted to be the leader of the cultivation world.
The world of cultivation has always been in a state of fragmentation. Of course, in ancient times, there were several attempts to unify the world, and those experts who were able to unify the world of cultivation all succeeded in ascending to the throne without exception.
As long as you can become the leader of the alliance, you will be able to gather the entire world of cultivation for your own use. Whether it is elixirs, magic weapons, or various treasures that can improve your cultivation, they will all flow towards one person.
In the past, his idea was just in the fantasy stage, because there are many sects in the world of cultivation. Each sect has its own life and practice habits, and they should not disturb each other. Even if you have a lot of friends, it will not affect other people.
But it's different now. Because of a lotus platform, the world of cultivation has gathered together. This is an excellent opportunity.
As long as you win the lotus platform, show your strength to convince everyone, and give these people some small favors, it is not difficult to become the leader of the alliance.
He inadvertently revealed this idea to his close disciples. Of course, the disciples must work hard for the master's goal.
But this matter must not be told in advance, otherwise it is likely to arouse everyone's resentment and fail.
So when the disciple brought it up, he immediately refuted it and winked, meaning not to mention it again.
The apprentice was smart and quickly realized his mistake and quickly lowered his head.
Dong Qiankun continued to patrol with them. When he met an acquaintance, he would give them a symbolic hand.
The old Taoist Vulcan was below. Looking at his arrogant expression, he said angrily: "I just can't stand this guy's arrogance. He really thinks that the lotus platform is his own, and that it belongs to me."
A group of disciples in red robes all agreed that there was no need to learn anything about flattering the master, as everyone was self-taught.
Hundreds of kilometers away from here, Qin Feng and He Muqing slowly lowered their altitude. They had been flying for several hours and needed to take a rest.
Mainly He Muqing, her level was quite different from Qin Feng's. Although Mr. Qin slowed down, she still hurriedly hurried along and her spiritual energy was consumed very quickly.
This is an uninhabited mountain col, which is perfect for a temporary rest. In fact, it is also used for camping, so there is no problem.
When the two were dozens of meters away from the ground, they noticed a plume of smoke rising from the mountain col.
Someone, it's unlikely. Resting here is an itinerary that the two of them had planned long ago. Leader He found out through his military identity that this was no man's land.
Qin Feng frowned: "Maybe he is a fellow traveler who chose to rest here temporarily like us."
"It's very possible." Leader He nodded.
The two slowed down their flight speed together, and soon discovered that behind a pile of bushes, there were seven or eight people wearing Taoist robes. Among them were two fires, one for barbecue and one for cooking soup.
A whole head of sheep has been roasted, exuding an attractive aroma, and bursts of steam are coming out of the hanging pot next to it, bringing with it a refreshing aroma.
Damn it, these people really know how to enjoy themselves.
Since they were not familiar with each other, to be safe, the two decided to listen to what the other party had to say and find out their identities before talking.
The person in charge of the barbecue was a man who looked like a middle-aged uncle. He continued to sprinkle condiments on the meat while turning the wooden stick. Suet fat kept dripping on the charcoal fire below, making a sizzling sound.
The other few people were obviously ready to eat, but what was strange was why they were not eating the meat when it was already roasted.
The person in charge of the barbecue turned around and asked, "What's the matter with Xiao Ling? He's been away for so long and still hasn't come back."
A guy replied: "Senior brother, my junior sister is a girl who finds everything strange when she sees it. When you come to such a beautiful mountain col, you must visit it. This visit is not important, I forgot about the time."
Another guy said: "How about we stop waiting for her and leave her a separate portion. Everyone knows the character of the little junior sister. God knows when she will come back. Waiting all the time is not an option."
The eldest brother shook his head and said: "No, when we went out, the master specifically ordered us to take good care of our little junior sister. How can we start eating before she comes back?"
Several juniors looked disappointed. The senior brother and master really doted on this little junior sister and were so obedient to her that this girl became lawless in the sect and often caused trouble.
But now that the senior brother has spoken, the junior brothers can't say anything. They can only look at the roasted lamb that is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, praying in their hearts that it will not burn.
Waiting was not an option, and someone spoke again: "Brothers, who do you think Qin Feng is? Forget about being ranked eleventh in the Immortals Conference. I also heard that he is the discoverer of Lotus Terrace, Dong Qiankun, the God of Fire. All the old Taoists are rushing behind him."
The senior brother said: "I also think this person is not simple. He is self-taught and I heard that his level is not low."
Mr. Qin, who was hiding aside, smiled uncomfortably, and said in a very wicked way: "Qingqing, you have seen it. I am quite famous in the world of cultivation. Even people I don't know praise me."
Leader He rolled his eyes at him and hummed: "What's wrong with complimenting you? Can you guarantee that everyone thinks so."
At this time, a long-faced junior brother hummed: "Not necessarily, if he is really a master, since he discovered the lotus platform first, why didn't he take it as his own, but in the end he was guarded by Dong Qiankun, Taoist Vulcan and Master Piaomiao Well, this shows that he does not have the ability to fight against the three of them, so he has to hand it over obediently. Also, the three people are ranked first, second and third respectively. Logically, he should be ranked fourth. Why is he ranked fourth? 11. So, I think this Qin Feng is just a little guy who is just trying to gain fame, and there is nothing worth looking up to."
Damn it, Qingqing was right. The sly smile on Mr. Qin's face quickly disappeared, and instead, a few black lines appeared.
As if the long-faced junior brother was not satisfied, he continued: "Who can believe that you are self-taught? You must know that the difficulty of cultivation cannot be compared with other things. I don't believe how much achievements a person without a master can achieve. That person named Qin Feng must be a guy who likes to brag, and his behavior must be extremely unreliable, and I conclude that he is an arrogant person."
There were more and more black lines on Mr. Qin's face, and he blew out angrily.
Leader He was happy and said with a smile: "This person's analysis is so right. People who don't know will definitely think that you know each other or are even friends. I said Xiaofeng, why does everyone say that you are an arrogant person? What do you think?"
