"Sect Leader, please listen to my explanation." Zhang Bin said sincerely, "Zhang Bin's attribute is the same as mine, both are wood attributes. If I acquire this cauldron, there will be no side effects. In the future, I can quickly grow stronger and cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm, Fusion Stage, and Ascension Realm; all are possible. Then I will have a prolonged lifespan, enabling me to venture into the outer world to seek metal attribute prodigies. I will prepare the best cauldron for the Sect Leader. Only in this way can the Sect Leader ascend to the Immortal Realm. We've waited for three million years; we must use the best cauldron. Otherwise, the chance of ascending to the Immortal Realm is slim."

"Hahaha... Changsheng, you are indeed wise and strategic. You truly are an outstanding figure of our Serpent Clan, thinking so far ahead."

You Jiuxuan, also known as Ancestor Youming, let out a hearty laugh, clearly satisfied with Zhang Bin's response.

If he truly fancied Zhang Bin, he would have acted long ago; how could it be Snake Changsheng's turn?

The primary reason is attribute incompatibility.

"Hehehe..."

Zhang Bin also smiled proudly. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

It perfectly reflects Snake Changsheng's temperament.

None of the elders suspected, not even Ancestor Youming.

No one would dare to dream that merely a prodigy at the Mid-stage Golden Core Realm could turn around and devour and refine the soul of Snake Changsheng, this former expert who cultivated to Nascent Soul Realm Great Perfection?

"Congratulations to Sect Leader, congratulations to Vice Sect Leader."

The other elders also shouted joyously.

Flattery spilled like waves.

"Changsheng, I'm really jealous of you, the talent of the cauldron you've got is too excellent, so good that it makes me envious. His soul is also very pure, thus, after you absorbed and refined his soul, there were no side effects at all, it's simply a miracle." Ancestor Youming continued.

"Sect Leader, Zhang Bin's talent is indeed great, many times better than my talent during my lifetime. My soul perfectly matches his body. A cauldron with the same attribute is indeed very suitable for me. Since I now have a body, and it's so talented, in the future, I will find suitable cauldrons for everyone, so recently, everyone should refrain from using cauldrons lightly, as the current disciples might not be the best. There are more than six billion people in the surface world, with such a large base, there must be many unparalleled talents. I want to capture them all instead of tricking them, the latter is too time-consuming." Zhang Bin patted his chest and said.

He is an expert at deceiving people; now, even ghosts are not vague.

If these elders heed his advice and stop using cauldrons.

Then numerous talents won't be harmed.

Meanwhile, he would have time to enhance his power, strengthen his forces, nurture experts, unite numerous powerful sects, and exterminate the Youming Sect.

This is a master plan to buy time for himself to grow stronger.

Additionally, Zhang Bin needs time to thoroughly understand the true strength of the Youming Sect.

The two pieces of memory he obtained are too vague in this regard.

The many elders were delighted, their faces showing expressions of anticipation and surprise, with eyes sparkling with hope.

Some even laughed evilly.

Zhang Bin was also silently observing them, comparing them one by one with the memories he got.

These elders are not very strong, so they dare to come out and be active.

Because they can find sacrificial ghosts to help them pass through heavenly tribulations.

The truly powerful living ghosts are all hidden in the coffins of their cave mansions.

Most are at the Nascent Soul Realm, even Fusion Stage.

Snake Changsheng, whom Zhang Bin killed, was merely at Nascent Soul Realm Great Perfection, not the most powerful Vice Sect Leader.

There are more than ten Vice Sect Leaders in Youming, several of whom had obtained suitable cauldrons, cultivated to Ascension Realm, but still, like the Sect Leader, their bodies were destroyed due to failing the heavenly tribulation and they became living ghosts again.

This is not something unusual, but rather normal.

After all, cultivating to the Ascension Realm is too difficult, with heavenly tribulations being terrifying.

Being able to preserve the soul under heavenly tribulations is already miraculous.

Having been living ghosts for so long, they naturally developed divine skills suitable for ghost combats, their combat power is not weak, not inferior to cultivators of the same level with a body.

Moreover, Zhang Bin received some vague memories suggesting that the Youming Sect still has a few powerful elders who obtained cauldrons, cultivated to the Fusion Stage, and are now in seclusion.

It seems some are not in Youming but have gone to the surface world.

Meaning, they might have infiltrated other sects.

Must thoroughly investigate to be sure.

"Capture them? Hahaha..."

Youming Sect Master laughed evilly, but quickly stopped and said seriously, "We still need to be extra cautious, not revealing any traces. There are still many powerful cultivators in the outside world, if they unite against us, we won't be able to withstand them. The losses would be immense."

"Our Youming Cave Heaven is so secretive, they simply can't get in. Once our strength grows to a certain level, there's no need to be so cautious." Zhang Bin said, "However, it's best to wait until I quickly grow stronger."

Many elders were still infinitely joyful, eagerly discussing how to more quickly and effectively acquire good cauldrons.

Various malicious plans made Zhang Bin shiver.

"Changsheng, what are your plans for future actions?"

Youming Sect Master asked seriously.

"From today, I am Zhang Bin, not Snake Changsheng. I will return to Zhang Bin's cave mansion, focus on cultivating for a period, clear Zhang Bin's memories, then use Zhang Bin's identity to return to the surface world, become the Tai Qing Sect Master, and learn Tai Qing Sect's most magical cultivation technique, quickly breakthrough to the Ascension Realm. After that, I won't rush to transcend tribulations but will seek cauldrons for everyone. From various major sects." Zhang Bin said.

"Hehehe... you are also the Sect Master of Daoyi Sect, high status and authority, making cauldron searching even easier."

"As Vice Sect Leader, this identity is indeed more convenient than being in Kunlun, Shushan, Dan Ding Sect, Penglai Sect, Flying Immortal Pavilion."

"..."

"Damn... there are indeed Vice Sect Leaders infiltrated into these super sects, it's extremely serious."

Zhang Bin muttered in his heart, yet his face wore an evil and complacent smile.

"Changsheng, reveal Tai Qing Sect's cultivation methods and see if they benefit us." Youming Sect Master suddenly said.

"Right, right, we've obtained many sects' cultivation methods, but most are incomplete. However, they still provide reference for our cultivation."

An elder also eagerly said.

"This idiot inadvertently gave me an excuse."

Zhang Bin sneered inwardly but said orally, "Sect Leader, although I got most of Zhang Bin's memories, the cultivation method memories are very unclear, meaning they're also incomplete. I dare not speak it out, lest I mislead everyone. I should return to Tai Qing Sect and find a way to get the complete cultivation techniques first."

"You're the Sect Master yourself, what way do you need?"

Youming Sect Master exclaimed in shock.
