New Longevity Command Token_2 Chapter 479: 218: Chen Baimao’s Slip-up!
New Longevity Command Token_2 These eight Golden Core cultivators all have the right to vote.
And Sect Leader Xing Huiguang is the ninth Golden Core, possessing the final voting right, which is extremely crucial.
Qiu Feng will undoubtedly support Chen Dengming.
As for the other seven, it’s hard to say.
Especially Cheng Zhenwei, the head of Evergreen Sect, who is in fact the uncle of one of the candidates, Hua Zhenyu.
...
This person’s vote will undoubtedly go to Hua Zhenyu.
However, Chen Dengming didn’t pay it much mind.
He joined the sect too late, and even if he tried to curry favor with some disciples and executives at this last moment, he might not necessarily succeed.
Instead of wasting his thoughts on lobbying for votes, it would be better for him to proceed with his cultivation with peace of mind, continuing to consolidate his advantage in terms of strength.
Because even if he fails in the voting phase, it does not mean complete failure.
The election for the Longevity Seed ultimately takes into account various conditions.
What he didn’t realize was that his sudden nonchalant attitude disrupted the plans of some of his competitors.
…
Inside a cave dwelling of the Longevity Sect, a study room was separated by hanging bamboo screens.
One could vaguely see a figure sitting at a large desk in the dim light, listening to several close Disciples report the current situations, then expressing his confusion.
“He isn’t trying to win over the Elders and other executives of the sect?
This doesn’t match his usual style of giving gifts.
Did he notice something?”
A Disciple claimed, “There’s no way he noticed, but perhaps someone might have warned him.”
The person behind the bamboo screen nodded slightly with a faint smile, “It’s okay if he doesn’t take any action, that way, my advantage becomes greater.
I don’t even need him to make mistakes.
I have a natural advantage in the voting phase.”
“Exactly.

Senior Brother Hua, after all, you have been in the Longevity Sect for over sixty years.
Your connections in the sect are well-established.”
One Disciple with a thin face and pointy chin complimented while assuring, “Chen Baimao just joined the sect a few years ago, he has to resort to various means to win over people, not knowing that this is taboo.”
Hua Zhenyu, sitting at the desk, just smiled lightly.
This was indeed his advantage and his plan against Chen Dengming.
The act of lobbying for votes can be done openly.
However, small tricks are not acceptable.
For example, giving gifts to bribe elders, or clandestinely making alliances with Disciples or executives possessing False Core status, etc.
Such things near the stage of the Longevity Seed election are taboo.
Chen Baimao has done all these things.
And according to his investigations, the opponent has done it very often, all of which is evidence against him.
Hua Zhenyu had done similar things in the past, but that was many years ago, which was a totally different situation.
Since he broke through to the False Core stage over ten years ago, he hasn’t done anything similar and doesn’t need to do such things with his own hands anymore.
So, the same deeds done by different people at different times will lead to different outcomes.
“The voting phase will last until the end of the Longevity Seed election.
I guess some Elders will be watching to see how things play out.
Hence, even if Chen Dengming stays silent, you must choose a suitable time to spread the news to magnify our advantage.
As for Tan Siyan, ignore him for now…”
Hua Zhenyu calmly instructed, “Remember, do not get exposed.
You can afford exposure, but I can’t.”
“Yes!
Senior Brother Hua, rest assured.”
“Even if we get exposed, we’ll cleverly blame it on Senior Brother Tan, hehehe.
It’s called diverting trouble, let them fight among themselves.”
Hua Zhenyu’s face showed a hint of approval.
He waved his hand to dismiss the group.
…
After the Longevity Seed candidacy was confirmed.
The benefits and treatment Chen Dengming enjoyed within the sect immediately got a temporary upgrade.
At least until the real Longevity Seed was elected, he could continue to enjoy the treatment of a Longevity Seed candidate.
Firstly, he didn’t need to participate in any tasks for the next five years.
This meant that as long as the Longevity Seed was not decided within five years, he could continue to cultivate peacefully within the sect without having to go anywhere.
Secondly, the monthly allotment of Spirit Crystals, Spirit Pills would be doubled.
When exchanging sect credits for Cultivation Techniques, Skills, and Magic Artifacts, he could enjoy a 20 percent discount.
Finally, and most importantly, a Longevity Seed candidate could obtain a Longevity Command Token.
This Longevity Command Token wouldn’t be taken back until the real Longevity Seed was elected.
Chen Dengming had already experienced the power of the Longevity Command Token.
Though this item might not be able to deal with Nascent Soul level experts, it was absolutely capable of handling late-stage Golden Core cultivators.
It might even be effective against complete Golden Core cultivators.
That was a potent life-saving trump card.
Hence, when Guan Chao personally handed the Longevity Command Token to him, Chen Dengming was quite excited and clutched it so tightly that he didn’t want to let go.
“Hehe, if you want to truly own this Longevity Command Token, then you need to become the Longevity Seed.”
Seeing the excitement in Chen Dengming’s eyes, Guan Chao laughed and said, “Keep working hard, Uncle Master Guan believes in you.”
Chen Dengming nodded and was about to invite Guan Chao to join him for a meal, but Guan Chao solemnly declined.
“It’s a sensitive time for your campaign, I came here just to hand over the Longevity Command Token, so I won’t stay for dinner.”
After saying that, Guan Chao stood up, took out a gift box from his Storage Bag, and casually put it on the table, smiling.
“I remembered that I’ve tasted the Smoke Rain Terrace Spirit Tea before, but it didn’t really agree with my taste buds, so I’m not going to try it again.”
