To be the best leader, you must also be the strongest leader!

Chapter 654 Congratulations on Getting Rich (Lantern Festival 2nd Update)

The Hehuan Sect has already begun to work hard to clear the resource areas and is preparing to agree to the conditions of the Bafang Pavilion tomorrow.

At this time, a group of Nascent Soul cultivators had gathered in the main hall of Bafang Pavilion. These people were all partners of Bafang Pavilion in the gourmet restaurant.

There were dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators in total, and next to them were cups of premium purple jade tea.

Because they had a pleasant cooperation with Bafangguan on the gourmet restaurant project, and they were a little curious about the purpose of Bafangguan's invitation this time, they decided to come and see the situation.

Most of the leaders of the cooperating forces have come, but Master Jin and his group are not here for the time being.

"Master Jin, what does this mean? He invited us here, but he himself is not here, and he wants us to drink tea here?"

"Fellow Daoist Yue, why are you so anxious? The Bafang Pavilion is currently in a turbulent time. Master Jin must have a lot of things to do. Give him some time."

"Yes, I believe that Master Jin will not deliberately neglect us, so everyone should be more understanding." The Master of Xingyue Palace also spoke for Master Jin.

Bafang Pavilion has recently placed a lot of orders for spiritual springs with Xingyue Palace, so the Palace Master of Xingyue Palace has a good attitude towards Bafang Pavilion.

"Hahaha, I also believe that Bafang Pavilion will not deliberately neglect us. There must be something that delayed them. Everyone should be patient." The person in charge of Xuanhuo Gate said with a hearty smile. Master Jin also placed a lot of orders with Xuanhuo Gate, so the person in charge of Xuanhuo Gate would naturally speak for Master Jin.

"Ahem, fellow Taoists, what do you think is the purpose of Bafang Pavilion inviting us here this time?" One of the red-faced old men coughed lightly twice, attracting everyone's attention.

"It must be for this life-and-death battle. I guess Bafang Pavilion must want to borrow people from us." The person in charge of Qishamen spoke slowly.

A Nascent Soul cultivator nearby nodded and said, "Although there's no news yet from the Hehuan Sect, I suspect they'll likely agree to Bafang Pavilion's terms this time."

"After all, the treasures that Bafang Pavilion brought out are too valuable. If it were me, I would be jealous too."

"But Master Jin only gave the Hehuan Sect one day to prepare the prize. Will the Hehuan Sect be able to gather so many treasures by then?"

"Regardless of whether the Hehuan Sect can gather enough treasures within the stipulated time, Master Jin will definitely not sit idly by and wait for death. He will definitely make preparations in advance. He can't possibly pin all his hopes on scaring off the Hehuan Sect."

"That's right, Master Jin must prepare for a possible life-or-death battle. The core disciples of the Hehuan Sect are quite powerful. It's not that I look down on the Jindan and Foundation Establishment disciples of the Bafang Sect, but if a life-or-death battle really breaks out, the Bafang Sect will undoubtedly lose if they use their own people."

"If a life-or-death battle begins and we can't use our own people, we'll have to find outsiders. I also think that Master Jin invited us here to borrow some people from us."

"That's the only explanation. But are you fellow Taoists willing to lend me someone?"

For a moment, the representatives of various forces in the hall fell silent, their eyes flickering slightly, and no one expressed their thoughts.

At this moment, several familiar auras approached the hall. Everyone turned their eyes to the door and saw Su Motang, Master Jin, Elder Xu Huang, Elder Wu Duo, Ouyang Can and Sun Yi walking towards the hall together.

As soon as he entered the hall, Master Jin bowed and apologized to everyone in the hall with an apologetic look on his face: "I am late, please forgive me, fellow Taoists."

"Haha, Master Jin, you are too polite. We all know that your hall is currently busy with many affairs, and we understand." The Yuanying stage cultivator of Xuanhuo Sect spoke with a smile.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yan, for your understanding." Master Jin bowed again to the monks with the surname Yan.

Afterwards, several people came to their seats and sat down. Sun Yi still sat behind Su Motang like a nobody. Although many Nascent Soul cultivators' eyes lingered on him for a moment, it did not attract much attention.

After taking their seats, Master Jin glanced around and then said with a smile, "I think you fellow Taoists must be very curious about the purpose of our academy inviting you here at this time."

"We are indeed a little curious." One of the Nascent Soul cultivators nodded.

"What do you fellow Taoists think of our hall?" Master Jin suddenly asked a question that no one understood.

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Master Jin smiled again and said, "Our team and all of you have enjoyed working together for a long time. We hope to maintain the best possible cooperative relationship with you and become close friends. Therefore, whenever there is any benefit, we will think of you first."

"benefit?"

"What's the benefit?"

All the Nascent Soul cultivators looked at Master Jin with curiosity.

"This benefit is enormous and will surely satisfy all of you fellow Taoists. However, before I explain, I would like you to swear a vow to the devil in your heart that you will not reveal anything you have heard or seen here today to anyone else."

"Master Jin, what is so important? Why do we need to use the Inner Demon Oath?" The cultivator named Yan from Xuanhuo Sect spoke in shock.

"Yes, Master Jin, what we Yuanying stage cultivators care about most is the inner demon oath. Are you sure that the following conversation requires us to make the inner demon oath?" The Star Moon Palace Master also looked at Master Jin in surprise.

The other Nascent Soul cultivators also showed expressions of shock on their faces.

Master Jin nodded seriously, "Because the interests involved are too great. Once the news leaks out, it will affect the huge interests of everyone present."

"If any of you fellow Daoists are unwilling to swear the Inner Demon Vow, we will not force you. Just consider it as you voluntarily giving up this great benefit offered by our temple. Just treat it as if we did not invite you today. You may leave on your own."

Master Jin's words made the monks present feel itchy. Although they did not want to take the oath of the inner demon, they were very concerned about the so-called great benefits that Master Jin mentioned.

"Master Jin, are you sure there is such a huge benefit?" The cultivator named Yan looked at Master Jin with a serious expression.

Master Jin nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Yan. I regard you as my best partners and friends. I will never make fun of you. I believe that after listening to this, you will not regret it."

The cultivator surnamed Yan's eyes flickered a few times before he raised his right hand and drew a complex rune in the air with his own blood. "I, Yan Lun, swear to the inner demon that I will never reveal what I saw and heard today to anyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, the blood-colored rune in the void mysteriously turned into a ray of blood light and returned to Yan Lun's body.

Sun Yi watched curiously from behind Su Motang. It turned out that this was the true oath of the inner demon. He had broadened his horizons today.

Soon after, the Star Moon Palace Master also made a vow to his inner demons. With these two taking the lead, the rest of the Nascent Soul cultivators also made vows to their inner demons. No Nascent Soul cultivator chose to leave.

Seeing that everyone had submitted their inner demon experiments, Master Jin smiled and said, "Congratulations, you are going to get rich."
