810: Chapter 0810: Expanding Influence 810: Chapter 0810: Expanding Influence Jin Family Residence, the plaque above the gateway had been taken down, replaced with an icon of a Yin Yang Fish.

This was the symbol of Yin Yang Sect, similar to the Tai Chi icon.

The Yin Yang Sect had always been a branch of the Daoist Sects, acting mysteriously and staying hidden in the shadows.

Now, openly displaying their own symbol, Hua Qianmo found it somewhat awkward, feeling that Long Fei was being too showy.

After Yu Fangming arrived, Saintess Emily led him to the reception hall.

Everywhere in the residence, renovations were underway, all done by craftsmen from the Hell Sect.

Some even had their own renovation companies in the Secular World, operating with high efficiency, all of them being Huaxia people.

Those who were not disciples of the Yin Yang Sect could no longer come and go as they pleased.

The disciples responsible for logistics had never been so busy, their faces blooming with joy.

Only in busy times could they earn their keep.

Before, at most they’d clean a toilet, never having been so handsomely provided for, despite their lineage to the Mo Family.

After aligning with boss Long Fei, they were directly incorporated into the View Gate, one of the Eight Gates of the Yin Yang Sect.

View Gate, the gate of scenery, was in charge of landscaping, chores, and all the logistical craftsmen.

Yu Fangming was astonished along the way, never expecting Long Fei to have managed the Yin Yang Sect so well in such a short amount of time.

In reality, Long Fei hadn’t done much, except for having money.

Wherever money was needed, he could satisfy the demand.

The Hell Sect, initially struggling to make ends meet and barely surviving in the mountains through the devious taking of lives.

Once Long Fei took over, things had drastically transformed.

There was nothing in this world that money couldn’t solve, if there was, then clearly, the money offered wasn’t sufficient.

Yu Fangming, looking at Saintess Emily dressed in a white gown, couldn’t help but smile wryly.

He was acquainted with this Saintess of the North American Papacy.

Her mentor and he himself often sat down to engage in profound discussions.

That Long Fei could have this young lady serve as a maid, Yu Fangming genuinely admired.

He entered the hall where Long Fei and Chu Feng were already waiting inside.

The original luxurious Golden Silk Phoebe furniture had been completely replaced with understated sandalwood furniture.

Long Fei and Chu Feng greeted him with clasped hands, inviting Yu Fangming to sit down.

Emily skillfully brewed tea for them and stood back, her gaze directed elsewhere, serving with earnest.

These past few days, she had adapted to her work.

Being waited on by her, Yu Fangming, on the contrary, felt rather uncomfortable.

After all, she was a Saintess, how could she be treated as a mere maidservant.

A sip of light tea later, Long Fei made small talk, “May I ask the purpose of Brother Yu’s visit?”

Normally, it would be considered disrespectful for a junior like him to address a renowned and established figure with “Brother.”

But Yu Fangming was delighted inside because by addressing him in such a way, Long Fei clearly didn’t consider him an outsider.

It is known, offend not the aging elderly but beware the ire of young men.

The ages of Long Fei and Chu Feng, in the Cultivation World, were akin to mere children, their opportunities for growth far surpassing those of these old men.

Frankly, their future achievements were destined to be greater.

This fact was something Yu Fangming saw with distinct clarity.

He took out a letter and handed it to Long Fei, “Brother Long, Brother Chu, this is a personal letter from the Hong Sect Gang Leader to you both.

After careful deliberation, the Hong Sect Gang Leader has decided to promote you to the status of Honorary Guest, a position equal to mine, with no distinction from that of the Gang Leader himself.”

Long Fei and Chu Feng smiled for a moment, knowing that all “big shots” were big shots, but it was just a title.

Like honorary chairman, honorary principal, although it sounds the same, it is only honorary.

They did not take this to heart, but since Yu Fangming had personally come to deliver the message, the two of them still courteously thanked him with a fist salute.

Yu Fangming took a sip of tea and sighed softly, “Not to hide it from you two brothers, right before coming here, I had seen Jin Ye.

He was in a bad mood and committed suicide with a gun after the talk.

For the Jin Family to end like this, although it’s self-inflicted, I had a bit of a relationship with them.

I hope you two won’t completely annihilate them and will leave a way out for the Jin Family’s descendants.”

Long Fei spoke frankly with a smile, “Brother Yu, rest assured, we never intended to completely annihilate them, otherwise, the Jin Family’s descendants wouldn’t be alive till now.”

“That’s good!”

With Long Fei’s promise, Yu Fangming was completely relieved.

His personal visit this time, of course, was not for the Jin Family, but for matters regarding the Secret Realm.

After all, for a cultivator at his stage, the only way to continue contending against fate was to break through higher levels.

Yu Fangming had two paths before him, one was to continue as a Loose Cultivator.

Although he could act unrestrainedly in the Secular World, not subject to any rules,

the highest result of cultivation would be the same as now, and in a hundred years or so, his state would still be the same.

Maybe he’d be lucky and come across some incredible opportunity, but that was almost like a mortal buying a lottery ticket.

The other was to join Long Fei’s Yin Yang Sect, knowing that the newly established sect would definitely need additional hands.

If he joined now, he would surely land a good position.

If he were to let Long Fei develop the sect for a few more years before joining, he would end up at the very bottom.

Having thought this through, Yu Fangming put aside his pride and came specifically to find Long Fei and Chu Feng.

If he could secure a high position, relying on the power of the Yin Yang Sect, although he would have to work for the sect, the benefits he’d receive would be far greater.

He wouldn’t have to go through much trouble to obtain cultivation resources.

He gave a fist salute to the two and asked sincerely, “Brother Long, your Yin Yang Sect is newly established, with many affairs requiring attention.

I wonder if you still need a helping hand?”

Long Fei raised an eyebrow with a smile, guessing the implication of his words.

He returned the fist salute with courtesy and said, “Brother Yu truly has divine foresight.

The Yin Yang Sect has indeed just been established and we are indeed short of manpower.

If someone of Brother Yu’s caliber were to join, it would be like a tiger gaining wings for our Yin Yang Sect.”

Yu Fangming listened excitedly and continued along the lines of the conversation, “I am flattered that Brother Long holds me in high esteem, and if Brother Long doesn’t mind, I, Yu Fangming, am willing to seek a position within the Yin Yang Sect.

Even if it’s just menial tasks, I wouldn’t be disdainful.”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, giving each other face.

Long Fei introduced, “Well, our Yin Yang Sect has the positions of five elemental Elders: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

I am not sure which element Brother Yu specializes in, feel free to choose any.”

Yu Fangming did not expect Long Fei to be so generous, offering him the position of an Elder straightaway.

He said excitedly, “Since I was young, I followed my parents out to sea to fish, and the opportunity I encountered on a sea island was the method of water control.”

Long Fei declared, “Then please, Brother Yu, condescend to be the Elder of the water section.

Take your time teaching the disciples when you’re free, and act together on urgent matters.

In the sect, Elders can freely use the resources in accordance with their share.

I wonder if Brother Yu would find that agreeable?”

Yu Fangming said joyfully, “Yes, yes, of course.”

Long Fei and Chu Feng laughed loudly, lifted their tea bowls and said, “Then it’s settled.

Let us replace wine with tea to welcome Brother Yu.”

Yu Fangming nodded along, picked up his tea bowl, and touched it with Long Fei and Chu Feng’s.

The Yin Yang Sect was yet to flourish, and within the sect, Mu Qingzhu was merely at the Late Enlightenment Realm, not nearly enough to command the scene.

With Yu Fangming joining, the strength of the Yin Yang Sect would be further solidified.

He recommended to Long Fei a few capable people, all of whom Long Fei accepted without hesitation.

However, he did not promise them positions immediately, treating it as a trial period.

Better none than unfit, the Yin Yang Sect was in need of people, but not just anyone could join.

Yu Fangming understood Long Fei’s intentions.

Having just joined the Yin Yang Sect, it was necessary to make some contributions to secure his position.

He thought for a while and asked Long Fei, “Sect Hierarch, what do you think of Daoist Huoyuan’s cultivation level?”

Though he had not yet attended the initiation ceremony, Yu Fangming painfully changed his manner of address, immediately referring to him as Sect Hierarch.
