I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head - Chapter 1979
1979 Recruiting Followers
Hu Dingtian looked at Chu Yunfan and spoke with certainty. Chu Yunfan naturally understood what he meant. It was because Chu Yunfan had shown enough talent that Hu Dingtian chose to fully support him. If Chu Yunfan was just an ordinary true disciple, it would be impossible for Hu Dingtian to be so concerned.
However, this was normal. If it were Chu Yunfan, he would also make this choice. Moreover, he keenly felt Hu Dingtian’s determination to get close to him. Although Hu Dingtian was already an elder and could not be promoted, he still had his demands. He wanted to fight for a chance to break through and obtain sufficient benefits for his younger generation.
And only Chu Yunfan could do this!
In the past, only Yang Dengxian was far ahead of the rest of the sect, and there was no decent opponent at all, just like Li Qianyuan’s position among the younger generation in the world. Naturally, no matter whether they were willing or not, they could only choose to rely on Yang Dengxian to obtain everything they wanted.
But now, Chu Yunfan had appeared. There was no doubt that this was a brand new opportunity, one that no one had ever had before. Before this, Chu Yunfan was basically a wild card. Although the Flying Celestials had helped him, it was not worth mentioning compared to Chu Yunfan’s current growth.
Therefore, Chu Yunfan could abandon the Flying Celestials at any time and place without affecting himself in any way, because his growth did not rely on the sect. The Flying Celestials had only provided him with a certain degree of protection.
Under such circumstances, in Hu Dingtian’s eyes, Chu Yunfan had naturally become a hot potato. Although Chu Yunfan had already amassed a certain amount of power, in Hu Dingtian’s eyes, it was just a small fight—child’s play. They were just a group of inner disciples and elite disciples who could not even be considered true disciples.
If Chu Yunfan was just an ordinary true disciple, this lineup would be enough. But now, Chu Yunfan’s talent was astonishing. In the future, he would definitely be nurtured by the Flying Celestials. At the very least, the resources he received would not be inferior to Yang Dengxian’s.
Under such circumstances, such a lineup was simply not enough. Chu Yunfan needed the support of the elders and even the support of many Cosmic true disciples. Only by creating momentum could Chu Yunfan possibly contend with Yang Dengxian and even compete for the position of sect leader.
In Hu Dingtian’s opinion, this was the best opportunity to place a bet. How could adding icing on the cake be more memorable than sending charcoal in the snow? Although it was not exactly sending charcoal in the snow now, it was better than getting close to Yang Dengxian.
Not only Hu Dingtian, but even a few elders and the Cosmic true disciples instantly understood this point. Chu Yunfan, who had just risen up, did not have many people around him. Now was the best time to board the ship. They could occupy the most advantageous position.
Once Chu Yunfan rose to power, his followers would spread throughout all of Grand Xia, let alone within the Flying Celestials. Even experts from the outer realms would come to follow him. Whatever momentum and grandeur Li Qianyuan had in the past, Chu Yunfan would soon have the same momentum and grandeur.
Thinking of this, many people looked at Chu Yunfan with a fiery gaze. There was no doubt that he was their greatest hope for the future. One should not think that these true disciples and elders were immortal. On the contrary, they had their plans and desires. It was just that ordinary people could not satisfy their desires.
Of course, this was only possible if Chu Yunfan survived the encirclement.
Chu Yunfan understood the meaning of Hu Dingtian’s words. He thought to himself that he had just risen to power. Although he had killed Li Qianyuan in one fell swoop and rewritten the situation of the whole world, in the end, his foundation was still too shallow. He was not like Li Qianyuan, who had a behemoth like the Li clan behind him.
There were many things that Li Qianyuan did not need to worry about. Many of those followers were selected from a young age to serve Li Qianyuan. Chu Yunfan didn’t have such conditions, so he could only recruit followers.
He also understood what everyone was thinking. They wanted to push him to the top and compete with Yang Dengxian for the position of sect leader of the Flying Celestials. Once Chu Yunfan ascended to the position, everyone would follow the dragon to attack the city, and it would be easy for them to develop in the future.
However, Chu Yunfan’s ambition wasn’t here. Although he understood their plan, he didn’t agree. However, he did not expose their thoughts. Even if he didn’t want to be the leader of the Flying Celestials, with such a powerful group of followers, many things would be much easier to handle.
“No matter what, I am grateful for your friendship today. When I return to the Flying Celestials, I welcome you all to visit me often,” Chu Yunfan said.
Everyone’s faces were filled with joy. Chu Yunfan had relented and was going to openly recruit followers. Without a doubt, they would be the first batch.
Chu Yunfan hadn’t even received the Flying Celestials’ great nurturing, but he had already become the number one in the world. If he received the additional resources from the Flying Celestials, how strong would he become? No one dared to imagine.
Such a person had a bright future ahead of him, so they didn’t follow the wrong person.
Hu Dingtian nodded in satisfaction. “In that case, we won’t disturb you anymore. We’ll think of a way to contact the sect. If we can, then you don’t have to take the risk.”
Hu Dingtian still did not want Chu Yunfan to be in danger. If he could contact the Flying Celestials, then all the problems would be solved perfectly.
Everyone had their own thoughts. Then, under Hu Dingtian’s lead, they left and headed to the residences Serene Immortal Mountain had prepared for them. Chu Yunfan was about to leave too when the Elder Princess’ attendant, Ruoxi, came before Chu Yunfan.
“Miss Ruoxi, why are you looking for me?” Chu Yunfan smiled.
“There is something here that Princess Gushe instructed me to give you,” Ruoxi said.
“Siyu…” Chu Yunfan muttered to himself, but he did not act pretentiously. He accepted a jade box from Ruoxi’s hands.
