Two powerful spiritual pressures from the Pill Formation Overhaul passed over the clouds one after another, leaving the Yunxia Sect cultivators in awe and yearning for them.
Xiao Qingshan was acting on a whim, and for some reason, it was difficult for him to calm down and practice.
He took a long breath and simply walked out of the cave, hearing the comments of his fellow disciples.
"The alchemy-forming major cultivator is very unfamiliar. The sect master personally entertained him, which is unusual. Could it be that there is something important going on?"
"The news from the gatekeeper disciple is that the great cultivator has recommended himself to be the guest minister of our sect. It is gratifying and congratulatory."
"The status of the Danjie Daxiu is that I will have to monopolize a main peak, and I am afraid that some disciples and monks will have to be mobilized."
During the conversation, several Yunxia Sect disciples had their own thoughts.
In the Yunxia Sect, which has been inherited for tens of thousands of years, apart from the two Supreme Elders, Da Xiu in the late stage of pill formation is the first-level boss, and can only be counted with the palm of his hand.
If you can serve him and become a trustworthy person around you, it will be a rare blessing in your lifetime.
Especially for the sect monks who come from ordinary backgrounds, they don’t have to wait for many years to get access to resources at various key nodes.
Xiao Qingshan stared blankly in the direction in which the light was retreating. He could not see the face of the alchemy master, but only caught the back that turned into black spots.
He had a feeling of loss.
"Junior brother Xiao, you are a disciple of a big family with a high status. You don't think you will compete with us for the job of guarding, right?"
A yellow-faced Foundation Establishment Senior Brother noticed Xiao Qingshan’s gaze and said with a half-smile.
"There's not even a single horoscope, so Senior Brother Chen doesn't need to."
Xiao Qingshan's tone was cold and he refused to comment.
Several fellow disciples and sisters nearby made eye contact, talked and laughed, and they were used to it.
In Yunxia Sect, Xiao Qingshan's identity is somewhat embarrassing.
He comes from the Xiao family, one of the four major immortal cultivating families in Dayu Kingdom, and sounds like he has a distinguished status.
However, Xiao Qingshan was born as a commoner, with ordinary qualifications and only a middle-grade spiritual root.
Xiao's father was unruly and unrestrained, had no great ambitions, and had no real power in the clan. He was just one of many descendants.
What's even more unfortunate is that Xiao's mother passed away at an early age, and her natal family was completely in decline. From the Jiedan family, it fell to the Foundation-building family.
This caused his status in the clan to plummet, and he was not even as good as some favored servants.
Fortunately, in order to win over the children of Yunxia Sect, Dashan Mountain, and the four major aristocratic families, Dayu Kingdom can choose to go to the sect to practice.
I thought that in the sect, in a new environment, life would be smoother.
Unfortunately, he had the title of a disciple of a great family, and he could not fit into the circle of the second generation of immortals in Yunxia Sect. It was also difficult for him to have a common language with disciples from ordinary backgrounds, so he was in an awkward situation.
Xiao Qingshan sighed secretly and prepared to return to the cave.
At this moment, many sect disciples on the outer peak were shocked, their magic powers trembled slightly, and they felt a suffocating pressure.
At the center of Yunxia Sect, a cloud of dense purple clouds appears, like a lotus flower in full bloom, setting off an elegant, noble, dream-like fairy in purple skirt.
"The Supreme Elder!"
"Greetings to True Lord Zixia."
Wherever the cloud of purple clouds passed by, as long as the monks who were not in retreat, they all looked up respectfully and bowed their hands.
The lower-ranking monks paid homage directly.
"The Supreme Elder, True Lord Zixia comes out of seclusion..."
Xiao Qingshan was excited and cast his eyes towards the sky with admiration and reverence.
For middle- and lower-class monks, the sect’s supreme elder may not be seen once in decades.
What's more, the True Lord who came out of seclusion is the famous Zixia Fairy in the Central Region of the Great Abyss.
hiss!
Xiao Qingshan's eyes stung and shed tears, and his soul felt dizzy.
The rumored True Monarch Zixia was obscured by the Nascent Soul-level mana halo, and ordinary monks could not even look directly at that beautiful fairy jade face.
Just like ants on the soles of our feet, we cannot see the full picture of human beings.
…
Yunting Peak, inside the side hall.
The misty purple clouds fell, revealing a tall and elegant beauty wearing a phoenix hairpin and a purple dress.
The bun is bunted with clouds, the eyebrows are trimmed and the eyebrows are trimmed. The neck is extended to show off the neck, and the beautiful face is exposed. The movements of hands and feet are pleasing to the eye, just like a fairy in a dream.
"Xiang Dalong, I met True Lord Zixia."
Lu Changan bowed and bowed his hands.
When he saw Fairy Zixia for the first time, Lu Changan did not hide the surprise in his eyes.
He secretly thought to himself that Fairy Zixia was indeed the most beautiful in the surrounding areas, and among the female cultivators he had known for several lifetimes, only Fairy Niyue could rival her.
"Master Xiang, there is no need to be too polite."
True Lord Zixia's eyes were like stars, her pupils were slightly lavender, her expression was calm, and she was looking at Lu Changan's whole appearance.
The bald, blue-robed young man in front of me has an excellent appearance and temperament.
Apart from his hairstyle, Lu Changan did not deliberately conceal his original appearance. He only made himself look older by adjusting his clothing, hairstyle and temperament.
These changes are difficult to identify to an unfamiliar person.
Joining a fourth-level spiritual sect and seeking promotion means having to deal closely with more than one Nascent Soul Lord.
The fourth life cannot be possessed all the time. Lu Changan does not guarantee that the Baihuan Mask can perfectly cover it up, and the vision and methods of those Nascent Soul Lords cannot be underestimated.
In the interview with the Nascent Soul Lord, he will also use some secret techniques to troubleshoot problems extremely carefully.
Anyway, there are no familiar monks here in Dayuan. One less layer of disguise and one less flaw.
After seeing the ceremony, Zongzhu Hu took the initiative to withdraw.
In the side hall, only Zhenjun Zixia and Lu Changan were left.
The former sat at the top, while Lu Changan stood below, waiting to ask questions.
Essentially, this is an interview review.
Lu Changan felt the Nascent Soul-level spiritual pressure and faint fluctuations in his consciousness.
After a while, a clear voice from above the nine heavens came:
"Master Xiang recommended himself to join the sect. What is your intention?"
The plain and simple tone, straight to the point, has the magic power to torture the soul, enough to make ordinary alchemy monks sweat.
Before Lu Changan could speak, he spotted a simple bronze mirror hovering at the top of the hall.
The invisible mirror light reflected back and locked into Lu Changan's mind.
Zhenjun Zixia explained: "This is the ancestral artifact of our sect, the mind mirror. If Zhenren Xiang lies, he will be found out."
Lu Changan was mentally prepared for strange objects like the mind mirror.
Using this thing instead of more overbearing and extreme methods shows that Yunxia Sect is not that kind of evil sect.
Lu Changan is not sure that he can crack the mind mirror without alerting True Lord Zixia.
Unless a Dan-Jie monk is in charge, he still has room for deception and manipulation.
Fortunately, Lu Changan had no intention of lying to get through the inspection of True Lord Nascent Soul.
…
"I would like to borrow your sect's fourth-level spiritual veins and use them to advance to the Nascent Soul in the future. It would be best if I could get a gift of a baby."
Lu Changan was very carefree and did not hide anything.
The corners of Zixia Zhenjun's lips were slightly raised, and the other party's intention was in line with her expectations.
As a major cultivator of the core formation, he is a giant everywhere. As long as he does not provoke the True Lord Yuanying, he can live a very comfortable life and there is no need to be inferior to others.
But this person has a big appetite, and he dared to offer gifts of things to conceive a baby just after meeting him.
The resource of childbirth is also extremely rare in Yunxia Sect. Only the core descendants of the sect are eligible to redeem it, and they must rely on the support of their elders.
"Where did you come from and where are your heels?"
Under the lock of the mind mirror, Zixia Zhenjun asked the second question.
"To be honest, I am not a monk from Dayuan."
Lu Changan said bluntly.
Um?
Zhenjun Zixia couldn't help but show surprise and a hint of interest.
The cardioscope showed no abnormal reaction.
The second question of Zhenjun Zixia is to prevent Lu Changan from being causally involved with other forces, or even moles sent by the enemy.
"I am a casual cultivator and have nothing to do with any forces in the central area of the Great Abyss. Due to the threat of powerful enemies, I had no choice but to break into a forbidden area with unstable space. After many hardships, I finally appeared in the Great Abyss.
The forbidden land of the Central Region."
Lu Changan ignored some details, but overall he didn't lie.
The reason for this statement is that the space in the forbidden land in the middle domain of the Great Abyss is unstable, and space cracks appear from time to time.
Over the past tens of thousands of years, some explorers have indeed disappeared from this place, and monks from outside the realm or other creatures have arrived in the middle of the Great Abyss through space cracks.
Although there are few individual cases, the world of immortality has a long history and relevant records are recognized.
Lu Changan's words were somewhat misleading, making people subconsciously think that he was passively traveling to the Great Abyss from another unstable space.
Because, other case records are basically the same.
Zixia Zhenjun looked thoughtful and considered for a moment.
Lu Changan knew that the second question was the key to the review.
He stated that he was from a casual cultivator and was not a Da Yuan cultivator. This was actually an alternative way of proving his "innocence".
No matter what happened in the past, when you come to Dayuan, everything starts from scratch, and interpersonal relationships are like a blank piece of paper.
This eliminates the option of insiders in the hostile forces.
Even in the early stage of Nascent Soul, it is difficult to have influence across state boundaries.
In the eyes of True Monarch Zixia, it is almost impossible for Lu Changan to go back in this life, even if he is lucky enough to form a Nascent Soul.
"The third question is, do you have any ill intentions towards Yunxia Sect?"
"No, I'm a responsible person."
Lu Changan shook his head decisively.
He is the lucky star of the sect, and will bring a collective gain of luck to the forces that have settled there.
If it is rejected, it will be Yunxia Sect's loss.
For three consecutive questions, Lu Changan passed the induction of the "Mind Mirror" and was sure that he was not lying.
"Master Xiang, please take a seat."
True Lord Zixia smiled sweetly and spoke in a gentle tone, indicating that she recognized Lu Changan's identity.
"The last question is Benzhenjun's personal curiosity. Is the state boundary where Xiangzhenren was originally located stronger or weaker than Dayuan?"
"My homeland is far inferior to Great Abyss. The person with the highest cultivation level is in the middle stage of Nascent Soul."
Lu Changan answered truthfully.
Hearing this, the slight curiosity in Zhenjun Zixia's heart immediately disappeared.
In Tianheng Continent, Dayuan is considered a relatively strong cultivation realm.
If Lu Changan came from a place with similar or stronger strength, she would be somewhat interested in understanding it and expanding her horizons.
The result is that backward and barren land has no value at all.
Lu Changan was well aware of this situation.
Mu Qiang is the nature of the immortal world.
Just like people in big cities, they tend to look down upon people from remote areas.
…
In the following conversation, Zixia Zhenjun put away the mind mirror, asked Lu Changan about his skills, and gave him corresponding treatment.
Lu Changan only showed his third-level mid-level puppet skills.
If it is a pill-forming overhaul, and the puppet attainment reaches the third level, it is indeed a bit beyond the standard, comparable to a top-level pill-forming overhaul.
The third-level mid-level puppet skills have already surprised Zhenjun Zixia.
One or two hundred years ago, the Yunxia Sect explored the ancient cave in the forbidden area of the Central Region, and the Danjie monks suffered heavy injuries.
That year, her teacher was also seriously injured, causing her lifespan to be further reduced.
Otherwise, the Yunxia Sect is now in its heyday as a three-dimensional soul, and the sect's spiritual veins are expected to be cultivated to the fourth-level mid-level.
"Then as Master Xiang wishes, as a guest elder, after serving the sect for sixty years, you will be qualified to use the fourth-level spiritual pulse to attack the Nascent Soul."
"In addition, if Master Xiang can refine enough puppets for our sect and his contribution is significant, I will allow Master Xiang to use his merit points to exchange for part of the baby-making materials in the future."
Zixia Zhenjun stood up and offered some inducements before leaving.
"So good."
Lu Changan looked happy and quickly thanked him.
He secretly cursed that before he officially joined the job, he was already trying to make a big deal...
As a guest elder from outside, I guess I have to work hard and work hard to exchange for some non-core baby-making items.
However, it is better than nothing, at least it can speed up Lu Changan's preparations for having a baby.
"By the way, Xiang's identity is not that of a Dayuan monk. I hope the Supreme Elder can keep it secret. Xiang does not want to be subject to regional discrimination in our sect and Dayu Kingdom."
Lu Changan said seriously.
"Elder Xiang's personal privacy will never be leaked to the public."
True Lord Zixia nodded and said.
She then sent a message to Sect Master Hu to explain a few words, then stepped on a purple cloud of light and returned to the fourth-level cave of the Supreme Elder.
…
That day, the elderly Sect Leader Hu took Lu Changan to the hinterland of Yunxia Sect and chose a main peak with a third-level high-grade spiritual vein.
This peak is called Qingluan Peak. It covers an area of more than ten miles and is relatively remote. There are many paulownia trees planted on the mountain.
"Qingluan Peak has not had an owner for many years, but the cave is still there. Elder Xiang can stay for a few days, and then the sect will provide some disciples for Elder Xiang to choose servants."
"The servants in charge are not in a hurry." Lu Changan said thoughtfully: "After getting familiar with the environment of the mountain gate, Xiang will choose a few people on his own."
The third level main peak and cave of Yuanying Sect are quite large in scale and do need some manpower.
After settling in Qingluan Peak Cave Mansion, Lu Changan discovered that the layout, landscape and interior decoration were biased towards female cultivators.
He chose Qingluan Peak for the sake of purity. Later he found out that the cave on the main peak was the former residence of True Lord Zixia before she was born.
Lu Changan didn't mind. After careful inspection, he found nothing unusual and settled down at Qingluan Peak to rest that night.
Late at night, Lu Changan closed his eyes and used his senses to determine the approximate location of the "Reincarnation Mark" through the Nine Seal Monument.
The dojo of Yunxia Sect monks has a strict hierarchy.
Most of the monks living in Waifeng Dojo are from the middle and lower classes.
Lu Changan judged from the sensing position that Li Erqing's reincarnation was most likely a foundation-building monk.
He did not rush to contact me.
The future is long, and if we are in the same Nascent Soul Sect, there will be plenty of opportunities.
…
In the following days, the news of Keqing's joining in the late stage of Danjie spread throughout the Yunxia Sect.
Sect Master Hu did not neglect Lu Changan and took the time to introduce him to several important elders of the Yunxia Sect.
Lu Changan discovered that apart from himself, there were only two late-stage Dan-forming major cultivators in the Yunxia Sect's mountain sect.
In addition to the elderly Sect Leader Hu, there is another young and strong alchemy master who is the immortal golden elixir and a direct disciple of True Lord Yun Lan.
It is said that there is another Danjie Daxiu who is in his prime, responsible for some foreign affairs industries, and is located in the high-level fairy city owned by Yunxia Sect.
Even so, before Lu Changan came, the Yunxia Sect had only three major alchemy cultivators, at least on the surface.
Normally speaking, a large Nascent Soul sect like Yunxia Sect has a benign structure if its spiritual veins are close to the fourth-level mid-level and there are at least five or more major pill-forming cultivators.
That afternoon, under the recommendation of Sect Master Hu, Lu Changan met with "Master Yunqing" who was in the late stage of Immortal Golden Pill.
Master Yunqing is only over two hundred and twenty years old. He has a handsome appearance and looks less than thirty. He is dressed in a pure white feather robe and looks elegant.
Unlike Zongzhu Hu's smooth and enthusiastic attitude, Master Yunqing's attitude was lukewarm and he lacked interest in Lu Changan.
"Since Master Xiang has become a guest of our sect, has he ever visited his master, 'Zhenjun Yunlan'?"
During the conversation, Master Yunqing only took the initiative to ask.
Perhaps the tone was cold, giving people a questioning and unhappy feeling.
"My respected master, 'Zhenjun Yunlan,' seems to be in seclusion, and Xiang does not dare to visit rashly."
Lu Changan said with a smile.
"Well, I have been cultivating a magical power recently and forgot about it."
Master Yunqing was startled and said suddenly.
Lu Changan secretly cursed that he didn't even know the state of his master and still wanted to make a fuss about it.
After leaving Master Yunqing's cave, Lu Changan couldn't help but ask Sect Master Hu:
"This Master Yunqing has no position in the sect?"
"Master Yunqing is the elder of the Chuan Gong Hall. Because of his top-notch qualifications, he has achieved the immortal golden elixir. The Supreme Elder does not want him to be disturbed by the secular things of the sect."
Sect Master Hu said carefully.
Lu Changan immediately understood that Yunqing, as the seed of the Nascent Soul, his only mission was to cultivate and focus on attacking the Nascent Soul in the future.
As a result, Yun Qing had little interaction with the outside world and became somewhat withdrawn.
On the other hand, Sect Master Hu only has a few decades left in his life. His injuries have not healed yet, and he still has to work hard to manage such a large sect.
The current situation of the three major elixir-forming practitioners of Yunxia Sect, one is focusing on the inside, one is focusing on the outside, and the other is concentrating on cultivation.
…
Half a month later.
Lu Changan became familiar with the new environment of Yunxia Sect and took a walk around the public areas of the sect.
"Xiao Qingshan, one of the four great immortal cultivating families in Dayu, is a descendant of the Xiao family."
After paying close attention, Lu Changan confirmed Li Erqing's identity in this life.
Xiao Qingshan is handsome, but his appearance and temperament are not similar to Li Erqing's.
Only in the depth of the charm and some detailed movements can we see the shadow of Li Erqing's life.
If it were not for the induction of the reincarnation mark left by the Nine Seal Monument, it would be difficult for Lu Changan to find his current life under normal circumstances.
Xiao Qingshan's situation in Yunxia Sect is indeed not good, but compared to Li Erqing, who was born in a farmer's family in his previous life, his starting point is much higher.
Xiao Qingshan's name was not seen on the list submitted by Sect Leader Hu, so Lu Changan put it aside for the time being.
Before meeting Yunxia Sect's other True Lord Nascent Soul, Lu Changan kept a low profile and avoided any unusual behavior.
During this time, he discovered two unusual things in Yunxia Sect.
First, the gender of the disciples recruited by the Yunxia Sect is relatively even. The proportion of female cultivators exceeds 40%.
It turns out that the Yunxia Sect is not an orthodox sect and incorporates some side sect inheritances. Among them, Yin and Yang dual cultivation is more popular in the Yunxia Sect, and there are many related inheritances.
The sect also has a tradition: single monks without Taoist partners will organize and facilitate them to try to form Taoist partners within the sect.
If you serve as a "matchmaker" and create a Taoist couple, you can also receive a contribution from the sect.
Even the elder Keqing is within the scope of this traditional rule.
Sect Leader Hu is secretly matching Lu Changan with a suitable female alchemy cultivator in his sect, trying to make money from the sect's contribution.
Another unusual point is related to the Taoist couple of the True Monarch of the Yunxia Sect.
Lu Changan accidentally discovered that the two True Monarchs Yunlan and Zixia, named Taoists, did not actually live in the same main peak cave.
The two True Monarch Taoists live on different main peaks of the fourth-level spiritual veins, dozens of miles apart.
Lu Changan felt that this was not like a normal and harmonious Taoist couple relationship.
