When I woke up the next day, the spring scenery was bright and beautiful.
Above the main hall, the great elder was holding some items. Among them were the trophies from yesterday's killing of the demon cultivators, as well as some gifts prepared by the Lu family.
Two hundred pounds of Jade Emperor rice.
Two hundred pounds of red copper.
Two hundred pounds of black iron.
Two hundred pounds of spiritual iron.
Ten pounds of gold essence.
There are also several other things, the quantity of which is worth three thousand spiritual stones.
Lu Xuanji looked a little distressed.
The Great Elder was also distressed, but still warned: "These are gifts for Ancestor Jin. Ancestor Jin may not care, but we have to give them. Many times, if you give gifts to those big people, the big people may not remember you; but if you
If you don’t give a gift, those big shots will definitely remember you.”
"Old Ancestor Jin saved my Lu family. I, the Lu family, want to be grateful and send these small gifts!"
Lu Xuanji nodded and said: "Ancestor, I understand."
"What a mystery, last time..."
The great elder wanted to say something more, but when the words came to his lips, he fell silent, "Forget it, I won't say any more!"
In this way, Lu Xuanji left Changyuan Mountain.
The journey was five thousand miles, and he flew with his sword, maintaining an altitude of a hundred meters, heading towards Ziyang Mountain.
After seven hours of flight, we arrived at Ziyang Mountain.
After arriving at Ziyang Mountain, we went to the Green Willow Manor at the foot of the mountain, where we were responsible for receiving guests.
But here, I met a group of monks who gathered here, brought gifts to the door, and held a banquet in the manor, seeming to be celebrating something. The monks entered one after another, and the manor was quite festive.
Lu Xuanji was slightly stunned.
He stepped forward and asked a passerby: "Fellow Taoist, what is happening?"
"The Danyang Sect issued a decree to confer Qingshui County and Beihe County to Patriarch Jin. From now on, the monks from the two counties will be handed over for enshrinement and will no longer be handed over to the Danyang Sect. Instead, Ziyang Mountain will directly collect them, and there will be two counties.
The land, population, minerals, etc., are all the property of the ancestor of Gold Accounting!"
said the passerby.
Lu Xuanji was slightly surprised.
The area controlled by the Danyang Sect is only the twelve counties of Chu State, and it is generous enough to directly give up the territory of two counties.
"Our Lu family is also a monk family in Qingshui County!" Lu Xuanji said, "Why don't we know? Why didn't we be notified?"
"Because the Danyang sect has just decided, but has not yet issued an edict. Some people learned the news in advance, brought gifts in advance, and came to celebrate!" said the passerby, and left with the gifts.
Lu Xuanji felt slightly regretful.
In the Danyang Sect, the Lu family lacked real power figures, and some news was delayed.
At this time, the jade pendant in the storage bag made a sound.
Taking out the jade pendant, some words appeared on it, which read: Danyang Sect Qingshui, Beihe County, presented to Patriarch Jin.
I couldn't help but feel horrified that the sky was about to change.
In the eyes of everyone, only the part of the iceberg above the water is seen; there is also the part of the iceberg under the water that has not yet been seen.
On the surface, it seems to be just a problem between the two counties, but behind the scenes is the game between the Jindan ancestors.
There was a fire at the city gate, which did not affect the fish in the pond.
When big people fight, small people suffer.
Thinking of this, I can only pray secretly.
There were five foundation-building female cultivators at the door, all with graceful figures and heroic looks. They were receiving guests. The guests presented them with gifts and were led into the manor by maids.
Lu Xuanji also gave gifts and said his name.
"Lu family, Lu Xuanji!"
When the female cultivator heard the name, she seemed to think of something: "You can bring the gold medal!"
"Gold medal, is this it?"
Lu Xuanji seemed to have thought of something and took out a gold medal directly from the storage bag. It was made of gold and engraved with the word "Jin Xi".
The nun looked at the gold medal and said, "Can I check it?"
"Can!"
Lu Xuanji said and handed over the gold medal.
The female cultivator touched the gold medal with her finger, and the gold medal suddenly shone brightly, and golden rays of light shone, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
After maintaining it for three moments, the light on the gold medal dissipated.
The female cultivator returned the gold medal and said respectfully: "It turns out to be the young master, let's go inside!"
"You don't dare to be a young master!"
Lu Xuanji said modestly.
In front of a female cultivator with an eighth-level foundation, he has no status as a young master.
The female cultivators all smiled, their graceful bodies swaying slightly, and said with a smile: "Young Master, you seem to have underestimated the gold medal. The gold medals given by our ancestors were only given out for a total of five pieces. You happen to have one. You have the gold medal specially given by our ancestors.
With a gold medal, you can enjoy many of the following benefits.”
"First, you can enjoy a 30% discount when purchasing some elixirs, spiritual weapons, spiritual objects, etc. in the shops affiliated to the ancestors. The premise is that you come in person with a gold medal. Finally, someone else comes with a gold medal.
But it’s impossible.”
"Second, holding the gold medal can gain the protection of the ancestor. As long as you don't cause any big disaster, the ancestor can protect you."
"Third, with the gold medal in hand, you can ask the ancestor for a condition. This condition cannot be too difficult and cannot violate the ancestor's rules. The price is that the ancestor will take back the gold medal!"
Sisi!
Many monks couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, contributing to global warming.
Some are envious and some are jealous.
Many monks wanted to go forward and grab the gold medal. But they just thought about it, and no one dared to actually do it. The female monk mentioned three benefits, and there was also a fourth invisible benefit that she didn't mention, which was to get Patriarch Jin.
of friendship and connections.
The love of a Jindan Patriarch can be as stable as Mount Tai as long as he does not seek death.
"So that's the case, but I didn't know!" Lu Xuanji said.
"There are some things that our ancestor won't say, and we, the swordsmen, need some advice!" The female cultivator said, "My name is Liu Hongyi, and I am one of my ancestors' swordsmen. It's a pity that my ancestor wanted to accept fellow Taoists as my disciples."
However, fellow Taoist disciples refused, otherwise we would be considered a family."
"Master, go this way."
Under the leadership of Liu Hongyi, Lu Xuanji arrived in a private room.
The decoration here is elegant, the floor is made of white jade, and the yellow texture is looming. The tables and chairs are made of red spiritual wood, grand and elegant, with spiritual arrays carved on them, stimulating the flow of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. Sitting on the chair, Lu
Xuanji feels that the mind becomes peaceful and all kinds of irritability disappear.
This is the VIP area, specially designed to receive some high-level personnel.
Here is the spiritual wine, which exudes charm and has a rich and long fragrance; the spiritual fruit has rich spiritual energy and a hint of fragrance.
What is surprising is that Lu Xuanji is the only one here.
Liu Hongyi poured the spirit wine herself and entertained them warmly.
This enthusiasm made Lu Xuanji a little surprised and stunned.
But I also smiled bitterly in my heart.
Just because of Liu Hongyi's enthusiasm, the Lu family is considered to be on Patriarch Jin's side.
…
Seeing Lu Xuanji being warmly received, the monks outside had different thoughts. Some were envious and jealous, while others were boiling with murderous intentions.
On a table, four monks were sitting.
On the table, there were spiritual peaches, spiritual wine, spiritual tea, etc., but no one had the intention to taste them, but they were curious about the scene.
"What do you think of Lu Xuanji?"
The Wu family monk asked.
"About seventeen years ago, two monks from the Lu family entered the foundation building stage. They had a feast for the world, and one of them was Lu Xuanji. Now, only thirteen years have passed, and they have entered the second level of foundation building. Their qualifications are pretty good!"
The monk next to him, named Ning Yuan, started talking about what happened that year.
After establishing the foundation, the cultivation speed will slow down.
Thirteen years to level up is pretty fast.
If you encounter something worse, you may be promoted to one level in 20 years, and one level in 30 years.
If you encounter a bottleneck, you may stop moving forward for the rest of your life.
