Chapter 648: Chapter 598: I Recommend Myself, and Become a Hot Commodity (Combined Chapter)

"That’s right, Red Hero saved me once. We found ourselves quite compatible, so we exchanged message talismans.

After some interaction, our relationship grew closer, and now we share everything with each other..." Lou Yi said, making up a story with a straight face.

After all, no one could expose him.

"Wow, Lou the Log, you hid this from us for so long without telling us," Bi Yaoyao said, a bit angrily.

In her bright eyes, there was a sense of betrayal.

"Ahem, mainly because Red Hero advised me to keep a low profile."

"You just mentioned that Red Hero wants to enter the Abyss?" Bi Yaoyao was only angry for a few seconds before she switched her focus to the topic related to the Abyss.

"Exactly, Red Hero’s cultivation is also close to the next stage, and he wants to go to the Abyss to seek fortune.

At that time, given his relationship with our sect, naturally, he would stand with our sect’s people on the same front, and help each other..." Lou Yi changed his tone and brought up a difficulty, "But he is just a wandering practitioner, with no sect or affiliation, and he lacks the means to enter the Abyss."

"That’s simple, can’t he just join our sect as a Guest Minister?" Upon hearing this, Bi Yaoyao’s eyes sparkled, and she excitedly paced back and forth, "By then, I can give him my dad’s message talisman, so they can look out for each other in the Abyss."

"How to join?" Lou Yi asked.

"Can’t we just find someone to recommend him?" Bi Yaoyao wrinkled her cute little nose, "Previously, my dad made a recommendation once, but it was vetoed by some members of the Elder Council.

But times have changed, nowadays our sect only has seven or eight good years left, so they surely won’t bother with those formalities anymore.

If Red Hero can enter the Abyss, it would definitely be great for our sect.

Your master is also an elder, why not ask him to recommend? If Red Hero can become our sect’s Guest Minister, it would be a major achievement."

Upon listening, Lou Yi understood that he had thought too complicatedly.

He originally wanted to leverage the relationship with Bi Yaoyao to propose once more for Red Hero to become a sect’s Guest Minister, to increase the success rate of this operation.

But now it seemed that the Corpse-Driving Sect needed Red Hero even more, perhaps they lacked manpower in the Abyss.

Might as well let this achievement go to his own master, He Xiang, as the saying goes, ’good water doesn’t flow to outsiders.’

Thinking this, Lou Yi’s heart moved, and he began divining the situation of the Corpse-Driving Sect’s cultivators in the Abyss, the oracle indicated: ’ominous.’

The matter of the Corpse-Driving Sect being targeted by the Taiyi Sect in the Abyss was only known among the high ranks of the sects, ordinary people had no access to this.

And to avoid affecting the morale within the sect, the Corpse-Driving Sect had tightly sealed off this news, thus the people below were completely unaware.

However, since Lou Yi had calculated this point, he felt more confident, knowing that now the Corpse-Driving Sect needed Red Hero to join more.

He no longer hesitated and immediately went to the main chamber of the cave mansion to find He Xiang.

As he approached the courtyard where He Xiang was, Lou Yi frowned, smelling a strong scent of alcohol.

"Master, there’s something I wish to trouble you with," Lou Yi said as he pushed open the door.

"Why so formal with me? Just say what’s on your mind." He Xiang was leaning rather unceremoniously against the side of the bed at that moment.

With a flushed face, he picked up a wine jug and gulped it down, not caring at all about the wine soaking his clothes and the bedding.

Since returning from Qingluan Palace last time, he had become quite despondent, drinking all day, feeling gloomy and disheartened.

"I heard our sect’s cultivators are being targeted in the Abyss, Red Hero, being a Zhao Kingdom native, wishes to contribute in any little way he can, to see if he can make a difference... However, he is just a wandering practitioner without the qualification to enter the Abyss..." Lou Yi embellished Red Hero a bit in his words.

Trying to downplay Red Hero’s own goal of entering the Abyss to seek fortune.

Upon hearing this, He Xiang suddenly woke up from his stupor, his eyes lighting up, he fixed Lou Yi with a firm stare, "Is this information reliable? How did you come to know of it?"

"By some stroke of fate, Red Hero and I became friends, though he usually doesn’t contact me..." Lou Yi once again recounted the relationship he fabricated to his master He Xiang.

"Great!" He Xiang exclaimed, slapping his thigh in excitement, "Our sect indeed is in a bad situation in the Abyss, in desperate need of help.

Red Hero being able to defeat a third-level Spirit Platform expert would be a tremendous help!"

"Have Red Hero wait a moment, I’ll go have a word with those old guys in the sect, it should be no big problem." With that, He Xiang didn’t even bother to tidy his clothes before a flying carpet appeared beneath his feet, and he swiftly flew towards the Sect Leader Peak.

Half a day later, He Xiang hurried back and asked Lou Yi to arrange a meeting with Red Hero.

Let the parties discuss the matters privately first, if settled, then go through the official sect procedures.

They agreed to meet in He City, the closest town to the Corpse-Driving Sect.

Venue: Lingfeng Pavilion, located in the east of He City, one of the most upscale teahouses in the city.

With seven or eight exquisite towers, music, fine food, and high privacy.

Party A: Red Hero, donned in a simple black tunic, hair naturally loose, average appearance, looked around thirty, with only his eyes bright and spirited.

Party B: Corpse-Driving Sect’s Great Elder Zheng Jingming, ordinary elder He Xiang, True Disciple Lou Yi.

As soon as the parties met, they began a detailed discussion and friendly negotiations regarding Red Hero joining the Corpse-Driving Sect as a Guest Minister.

"Red Hero, should you choose to become our sect’s Guest Minister, your rank will be equal to that of an elder, and you will receive an annual endowment of eight hundred pieces of Upper Grade Spirit Stones, three bottles of Foundation Establishment Level Earth Spirit Pills, and five bottles of Dragon Snow Pills to enhance the physical body...
