Talisman Reincarnation - All My Clones Are Dao Ancestors-Chapter 181: Faction Gathering 1

In the next few days, Di Teihun and Huoling’s friend, Guan Ya, arrived one after another.

Fu Xian also led them around the city and finally introduced them to Ziling, this time less formally, only a short greeting.

He went to cultivate for some time, inviting his senior brother Gui to stay with him for some time until a bit later, already telling him that he had an idea that needed some fermenting.

Days passed and on this morning, Fu Xian was in the pavilion, looking at the small growing trees, chatting with his brother Gui.

"Brother Gui, I’ve kept you waiting these past few days. Haha, you must’ve already guessed it, but I had a plan in mind and I hope senior brother can consider it.

It’s like this – if senior brother wants to become a full member, then for your current stage, you will have to remain a temporary citizen for at least a hundred years, maybe even two or three.

If the neighbourhood vouches for you, we could hold this requirement at one hundred years.

In those one hundred years, you will not be able to enjoy the privileges of a proper member, this means, there won’t be a courtyard for you.

The neighbourhood can still build some mass courtyards for the third stage members, but fourth stage members can’t be put away like that.

I hope senior brother doesn’t blame me for this regulation."

"No need, I already guessed it would be like this beforehand. As long as I have the chance to become a formal citizen, then the favour of many years ago has more than be paid off, I owe you a lot!"

Fu Xian smiled and nodded. Indeed, to pay the favour off, he could’ve simply given him a recommendation, which would allow him to take the official way to enter the immortal city.

Him doing so much to invite him all the way, although an act of gratitude, was also because he had some ulterior motifs.

If it was just to pay it back, Fu Xian would’ve introduced him to the neighbourhood and let his senior sister decide whether to invite him, rather than using a favour to directly make him a member.

For the neighbourhood, as long as nothing big happened for the next hundred years, he was basically a guaranteed member.

The only reason he didn’t get a courtyard was because Ziling wished to hear Fu Xian’s thoughts first.

Fu Xian was just about to say something when he saw his disciple come in from outside, "Master, you have been sent an invitation by aunt Qian!"

"Hmm?" Fu Xian took the invitation while smiling, "Ye Long, didn’t I say that my previous yard will become yours? You don’t have to stay in the library at all times."

"Master, are you sending me away? Am I no longer welcomed?" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"How could that be? My first and most beloved disciple, how could I send you away?"

"Then master, please let me stay!"

"Well," Fu Xian shook his head helplessly and waved his hand, telling Ye Long he would talk about it later.

The invitation was a jade letter locked with spiritual power.

Using his spiritual aura, he was able to open the lock, revealing the content on the jade letter –

It was a factional gathering to introduce all the new faces, including a discussion afterward.

Invited was every core member of the faction as well as the new members.

A moment later, Ye Long came with another invitation, simpler than the one Fu Xian received, delivered for Gui Zen.

Gui Zen read it and showed it to Fu Xian, it only said there would be a gathering to see al members, not mentioning the discussion afterward.

Fu Xian smiled and didn’t say anything, instead returning to the previous topic, "Senior brother, why don’t we talk about this after the gathering?

I feel like at this gathering there will be a lot to see and many people to get to know.

Once we completed that, it will be a bit easier for us to complete our own business."

"Very well, let’s do it like junior brother said."

Gui Zen nodded and went to the guest pavilion, where he remained the past few days.

His cultivation was mostly completed, so he didn’t need any big spiritual vein to allow his cultivation.

...

A few days passed and it was the day of the gathering.

Fu Xian went out with Gui Zen, leaving Ye Long to remain in the courtyard.

This gathering was for mature members, even Mingling wasn’t invited.

After all, those at the second stage haven’t even completed the first higher stage, barely considered cultivators in the eye of others.

If it wasn’t for that why did Fu Xian, a talented talisman master, never meet others in the neighbourhood?

It was because his cultivation was too low to even be considered as a proper cultivator by others.

He walked in the air, every step turning into a hundred and a thousand.

Donning a green robe with intricate gold patterns, he looked like a noble yet elegant young man.

Gui Zen followed behind him rather quiet, knowing his position in this gathering would be lower than that of Fu Xian’s.

Someone who can invite others is definitely a core member, while a new member, regardless of their power, has lower authority.

Only among rogue cultivators does strength mean authority – but the immortal city, while sometimes claiming to be a gathering of rogue cultivators, has long been defined into a different kind of force, but still a force.

Fu Xian didn’t say much about it and the two soon arrived at his sister’s yard, which looked even greater than before.

A butler outside, at the third stage, greeted them and led them in.

Fu Xian smiled and walked in with brother Gui, occasionally glancing at the trees of the fourth stage in the yard, as well as the spiritual beasts of the third stage wandering in the garden.

It was truly an image of an immortal’s home...
