In the empty and dense Yulong Palace, several figures gathered.
Sitting on the dragon chair is a man in a dragon robe who has a vast heaven and is calm and powerful. The purple and gold patterned dragon robe he is wearing is very similar to the [Gun Dragon Robe], one of the most precious dragon artifacts in the Nine-Five-Year Plan of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty.
.
Rumor has it that the ancestors of the Dayu royal family were a family of princes who migrated from Fenghua Continent and the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty thousands of years ago. The founder at that time was the Yuanying Great Monk, who created the huge Dayu Kingdom.
Today, Daewoo's sector is less than half of its peak.
"Your Majesty, the birth of the fourth-level rat king has disrupted the original plan of my royal family, and there are many variables. The combat power of the three Yuan Yings of the Yunxia Sect has surpassed that of Dashan Mountain and most of the aristocratic families in this country."
"If the 'Yunxia Shuangjun' is given further opportunities in the Ancient Nether Palace, the road to naturalization will be long and arduous."
On the seat below the dragon throne, one of the old men in ancient robes who was in the early stage of Nascent Soul stated in a low voice.
Emperor Yu's face was calm and he thought for a moment:
"Master Xiang and his spiritual pets are not cultivated by the Yunxia Sect. As foreign guests, can you be sure to win over them?"
"Going back to Emperor Yu, it is indeed possible to win over his people. But Master Xiang has preconceptions, so this matter is not easy."
"According to the information obtained by my concubine, Fairy Zixia, one of the two gentlemen of Yunxia, has been kind to Xiang Dalong and has taken good care of her. The two sides have a good friendship."
The respondent was a female cultivator in red dress, with a face as bright and dignified as a jade plate.
"However, it is suspected that Zhenjun Yunlan has a cold relationship with Zhenren Xiang. Maybe we can start from now on. Just like the differentiation between Taoist couple Yunxia back then..."
Hearing this, several people present smiled with unknown meaning.
It turns out that the relationship between the true monarch and Taoist couple of Yunxia Sect was divided and no longer harmonious as before, which was the result of the secret promotion of the royal family.
To this end, master-level divination was used secretly to search for evidence.
One or two hundred years ago, the beloved senior brother of Zhenjun Zixia died in the demonic chaos in the Central Region.
Although True Lord Yunlan was not the direct murderer, he secretly planned to make Fairy Zixia's beloved senior brother be devoured by demons, leaving no trace of his body.
Originally, Zhenjun Yunlan was very cautious in this matter, leaving no clues and providing proof of alibi.
After Fairy Zixia investigated, she found no abnormalities and was kept in the dark.
However, the royal family has great magical powers, and with the help of invisible hands, Zhenjun Zixia learns the truth by chance.
At that time, Fairy Zixia, who had become True Lord Yun Ying, was heartbroken and her relationship with True Lord Yun Lan broke down.
Due to their seemingly incompatible nature, the Taoist couple was unable to achieve the most powerful power of the successful alliance wall.
Otherwise, Yunxia Shuangjun's skills are from the same source, and they can jointly attack the two walls, and can compete with the ordinary Nascent Soul mid-stage.
"Yuan Jin, I heard that the rat demon can achieve transformation, did you have any help?"
Yuhuang's voice was calm and his eyes turned to another seat.
There is no real person on the seat, but the shadow of a majestic young man in a python robe.
His eyes were like cold stars, and he felt as sharp as a sword unsheathed.
Young Guangying is none other than Sword Cultivator Yu Yuan Jin, a leader in the early stage of Yuan Ying in the Great Universe.
"Return to Yuhuang, this is indeed the case."
Yu Yuanjin did not hide anything and then explained what happened back then.
At the Yuntian City Nascent Soul Trade Fair, under the recommendation of Fairy Zixia, Yu Yuanjin traded the [Thunder Bead] to Zhenren Xiang.
Firstly, it was out of admiration for Fairy Zixia.
Secondly, the fourth-order Qingxuan wood that Master Xiang took out is a precious spiritual wood used to create kendo magic weapons, and it also has a third-order mid-grade puppet.
In that transaction, Yu Yuanjin not only did not suffer a loss, but his relationship with Fairy Zixia also got closer.
Yu Yuanjin was more appreciative of Fairy Zixia than possessive.
In his mind, kendo is number one.
However, the Daewoo royal family really hopes that he will get closer to Fairy Zixia.
The most ideal situation is: True Lord Yunlan passes away early, allowing Yu Yuanjin and Fairy Zixia to become Taoist couples, subtly naturalizing the Yunxia Sect's Taoism.
"This is an opportunity."
Emperor Yu smiled brightly and did not pursue the established fact caused by Yu Wenjin.
Yu Yuanjin was an innate Taoist genius at the same time as Fairy Zixia, and the two had known each other for a long time.
Now with the opportunity of [Transforming Thunder Beads], Yu Yuanjin has formed a good relationship with Zhenren Xiang and Lord Diyan.
"When the Yuan and Jin Dynasties held the Transformation Ceremony of the Yunxia Sect, you represented the royal family in the ceremony."
Emperor Yu ordered.
"Yuan Jin takes orders."
The shadow of Yu Yuan Jin on the seat bowed.
…
half year later.
Early morning, the inner hall of Qingluan Peak.
A muscular half-demon rat man, wearing a purple-red robe, was eating the fourth-level soil Ganoderma lucidum in the jade box.
After the transformation, the body and limbs of the rock rat gradually became anthropomorphic, and most of them maintained a half-human, half-demon form in the sect.
However, in private, and even when escaping, the Earth Rock Rat prefers to maintain the original form of the rat demon.
Lu Changan had no idea about this. The reason why the monster transformed into a human form is more closely related to the source of the avenue.
Some descendants of true spirits with powerful bloodlines still have powerful magic even if they don't like to transform.
"Alright, I'll join the celebration later. Watch more and talk less. Don't fall for the verbal trap of those Yuanying old monsters."
Lu Changan came over and touched the small bunch of purple-gold hair on the head of the rock rat out of habit.
The fourth-grade soil Ganoderma gnawed by the Earth Rock Rat, this treasure of heaven and earth, was a gift from True Lord Yunlan on the eve of the Transformation Ceremony.
The purple-red robe on his body was woven by Zhenjun Zixia himself. It is made from fourth-grade silk, which is indestructible to water and fire and is very tough.
Lu Changan couldn't envy such generous treatment.
After all, Lord Diyan is now the sacred beast of Yunxia Sect, and his status is so high that even an elder from Keqing cannot match him.
The Earth Rock Rat's training dojo is in the underground palace on the periphery of the fourth-level spiritual veins dozens of miles away. The tunnel dug can lead to Qingluan Peak.
Lu Changan understood the plan of the two true kings, but he was happy to see it come to fruition.
In this way, the Yunxia Sect can share part of the Earth Rock Rat's cultivation resources and does not have to rely entirely on Lu Changan, its master.
…
Half an hour later.
The outer peak of the Transformation Ceremony gathered representatives from the Great Universe and many surrounding forces.
Sect Master Hu is responsible for coordinating the transformation ceremony, welcoming and sending off.
Lord Diyan, as the protagonist of the ceremony, sits at the top in the middle, alongside Lord Yunxia.
Lu Changan is sitting in the front row below, which is the normal treatment for the alchemy overhaul.
Although he is the master of Lord Diyan, his strength in the world of immortality is respected, and the huge gap in realm makes him naturally inferior to others.
"Ancestor of the Xiao family of Dayu, come to celebrate——"
At this time, a powerful Nascent Soul level mana and spiritual pressure approached from the sky outside the mountain gate.
Celebrations of the transformation of a great demon are relatively rare in the world of Daewoo immortality.
Therefore, this grand ceremony aroused the curiosity of some Nascent Soul Lords, and many people came to take a look.
Lu Changan and Di Yanshu joined the Yunxia Sect midway, so there was a possibility of being drawn over, which was also an important reason.
At this moment, several Nascent Soul cultivators have arrived at the Transformation Ceremony.
Among the people Lu Changan knew were True Monarch Red Snake from Dashan Mountain and Master Yue from Danmeng.
Dashan Mountain, as a neighboring enemy of Yunxia Sect, it is not surprising that its supreme elder came to check the truth.
To Lu Changan's surprise, Master Le from the Alchemy Alliance came all the way to congratulate him.
If I remember correctly, after True Lord Yunlan was attacked and injured, the relationship between the Yunxia Sect and Master Le Dan developed a rift.
"Master Xiang, after being in Yuntian City for a while, I realized that you are not a creature in the pond."
Alchemist Le had a stern look in his eyes and took the initiative to talk to Lu Changan with a smile.
Lu Changan was flattered, stood up to greet him, and chatted with Master Le for a while.
More than ten years ago, at the Yuntian City Nascent Soul Trade Fair, Master Le once encouraged him and revealed his demand for third-level high-grade puppets.
When they met this time, Lu Changan discovered that Master Le intended to show goodwill to him and build a relationship with him.
Although this Yue Master is old and not good at fighting, he likes to make connections and has good vision. Among his friends, there are many strong men in the Nascent Soul stage.
Because he is backed by the Alchemy Alliance and has a wide network of contacts, ordinary Nascent Soul monks do not dare to offend easily.
During the conversation, Master Le looked at Mr. Diyan sitting on the steps of the main hall, faintly showing affection and admiration.
In the past hundred years, Master Le has been keen on collecting external means of protecting the Tao, such as life-saving rare objects, fourth-level spiritual talismans, powerful puppets, etc., and at the same time paving the way for future generations.
Master Le has a third-level peak spiritual pet. As for the fourth-level demon king, you can't get it just by having financial resources.
The birth and cultivation of fourth-level holy beasts is comparable to that of Yuanying monks, and is even more uncontrollable. It usually appears in the ancient Yuanying sect.
After learning about Lu Changan's identity, the old Yuanying monsters present were more or less concerned, and some curious people also asked.
Becoming the master of the fourth-level holy beast and the circle of True Lord Nascent Soul is no longer an extravagant hope for Lu Changan, and he no longer needs introductions.
Lu Changan felt secretly happy, this was the circle he had dreamed of in his previous life.
For ordinary alchemy monks, planning opportunities for the Nascent Soul is indeed difficult and requires great fortune.
But if you can enter the circle of True Lord Yuanying and obtain the resources for advanced Yuanying, the difficulty can be reduced by one dimension.
"The failure to recruit Mr. Xiang back then was really a huge loss for Dashan Mountain."
Not far away, True Lord Red Snake looked regretful and sighed.
This Evil True Lord was as skinny as firewood, wearing a black cloak, and with his narrow eyes, he had repeatedly looked at the Diyan Lord who had been promoted to the fourth level.
Lu Changan was wary that the Yuanying-level beast-controlling sect might have the means to forcibly enslave fourth-level monsters.
However, as a hostile force, it is normal for them to come and explore the reality of the Earth Rock Rats.
"This mutated earth rock rat contains rich earth evil energy, and its magical power is no less than that of the earth bloodline demon king. I don't know the specific magical power of fighting..."
True Monarch Red Snake is an expert in controlling beasts. He only made a slight distinction and had a rough assessment of Diyan Monarch's level.
As the newly promoted Transformed Demon King, due to racial restraint, he is no match for the Red Nether Snake King and is likely to be crushed.
…
"The Royal Family of Dayu, Lord Tianyuan Sword, and Princess Zhiwei are here to celebrate—"
In the afternoon of the Transformation Ceremony, heavyweight guests were welcomed.
Lord Yunxia and Lord Diyan stood up to greet him.
The Tianyuan Sword Lord is Yu Yuanjin, whose strength exceeds that of many Yuanying True Lords present.
More importantly, Yu Yuanjin is backed by the Dayu royal family and is the dominant force in this great country of cultivating immortals.
As far as Lu Changan knows, the Dayu royal family is a top-ranking overlord force in the entire Central Great Abyss, and is not weaker than the Beast King Valley at all.
There was more than one member of the royal family in the mid-Yuan Ying period. The founding ancestor was a prince from the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty in Fenghua Continent, with extraordinary feet and profound foundation.
Yu Yuanjin and Princess Zhiwei were arranged to sit in the front row by Sect Leader Hu.
The old Yuanying monsters present all greeted him and greeted him politely.
Yu Yuanjin's eyes fell on Lu Changan, with a smile on his lips.
Lu Changan couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb, not to mention the [Thunder Bead] traded from this person, which became the Earth Rock Rat and played an important role in the Transformation of Heavenly Thunder.
Due to the efforts of the Earth Rock Rat, the [Thunder Bead] was not seriously damaged by the thunder. After it is repaired in the future, there will still be a chance to use it when Lu Changan gives birth to a baby.
Lu Changan stood up and waved for the rock rat to come down.
One person and one mouse came to Yu Yuanjin's table to express their gratitude.
The high-ranking monks around him couldn't help but be surprised when they saw this scene.
It's not because of Yu Yuanjin.
All the major forces have inquired about the relevant information about [Transformation of Thunder Beads]. In the eyes of the outside world, the Earth Rock Rat's attack on Transformation has the support of the True Monarch of the Yunxia Sect, and the overall conditions are pretty good.
What surprised everyone was Lu Changan's waving action and Lord Diyan's obedient obedience.
"This transformed rat king has a docile temperament. I'm afraid Xiang Zhenren has raised him since he was a child. He is like a father and daughter. Even if his cultivation surpasses his master, he is still loyal..."
Seeing this scene, Lord Red Snake and Master Le couldn't help but feel envious.
Especially Lord Red Snake.
Although he is the supreme elder of the Great Snake Mountain and the one with the highest status, the Red Nether Snake King has more seniority and stronger strength, so he may not necessarily obey his orders at certain times.
"Mr. Diyan, Mr. Xiang doesn't need to be too polite. We don't owe each other anything for the transaction back then. To be honest, the current result is beyond Yu's expectation."
Yu Yuanjin said bluntly with sharp eyes and a slight smile.
Lu Changan touched those cold star-like black eyes and felt a slight sting in his heart. The sense of threat this person brought was far beyond that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
"Master Xiang, sit down and talk."
After Diyanjun returned to the high platform, Yu Yuanjin invited Lu Changan to sit next to him.
"This is a third-level quality puppet made by my niece, Princess Zhiwei. I can't put it down."
Hearing this, Lu Changan looked at the royal female cultivator wearing a transparent white gauze next to Yu Yuanjin.
Princess Zhiwei is dressed in a palace dress, with long straight black hair and an elegant temperament, which can be called the beauty of the country. The white gauze on this woman's face cannot really cover her face, but instead brings a beautiful hazy feeling.
Lu Changan had to admit that this girl was second only to Fairy Zixia in beauty and temperament since arriving in Daewoo.
"The little girl Zhiwei has met Elder Xiang."
Princess Zhiwei lifted her palace skirt and bowed lightly. With a clear and pleasant voice and dark and bright eyes, she looked at the good-looking bald young man in front of her.
Next, Yu Yuanjin spoke less and only occasionally guided Princess Zhiwei to talk to Lu Changan.
Princess Zhiwei was so elegant and generous that even when they met for the first time, she could naturally chat with Lu Changan about everything from puppet spiritual pets, personal cultivation, to the anecdotes of Dayuan.
During the conversation, he also indirectly probed Lu Changan's past history.
After the Earth Rock Rat was promoted and transformed, various forces began to explore the origins of Zhenren Xiang, but they did not have many clues. They were only certain that he came from outside the Central Territory.
Lu Changan realized that Yu Yuanjin had the intention to bring him and Princess Zhiwei together.
After chatting for a quarter of an hour, Lu Changan stood up and returned to his original position.
"How is this person?"
Yu Yuanjin closed his eyes and sent a message to ask the royal princess beside him.
"This person is talented in cultivation, and his conversation and knowledge are not bad. But his temperament is a bit earthy, and he is not the type that this princess likes."
Princess Zhiwei told the truth, Chuan Yin responded.
Yu Yuanjin's curved eyebrows were as thick as paint, and he frowned slightly, "Is it possible that you claim to be from the royal family and look down on this person?"
Princess Zhiwei glanced at the Earth Rock Rat on the high platform, smiled and said, "If you include Earth Rock Lord, Zhiwei will be the one to climb higher."
Yu Yuanjin nodded and said: "As long as you understand! This is a good opportunity that I will give you."
…
The transformation ceremony lasts for several days.
There are many guests coming and going from Yunxia Sect, and every congratulatory power representative or individual monk will present a congratulatory gift.
Generally, the higher the cultivation level, the stronger the power behind it and the richer the gifts.
But most of these congratulators are from the Yunxia Sect's network and have had friendly contacts in the past.
According to the prior agreement, the two true monarchs promised that 30% of the gifts for the grand ceremony would belong to Lord Diyan.
Even 30% is still a very considerable amount of resources.
In addition, the personal gifts given to Mr. Diyan privately by some guests are not included in this list.
For example, Master Le, in addition to regular gifts, also gave Earth Rock Rat a bottle of fourth-level elixir.
Including Princess Zhiwei, she entrusted Lu Changan with a basket of royal treasures and gave it to Lord Diyan.
The precious fruit from the Dayu royal family is rare in the world. It is not the Daqing or Dayuan variety at all. Lu Changan originally only planned to taste one, but he couldn't help but eat most of it.
Between the share of the gifts and the private gifts, the Earth Rock Rat made a lot of money from this transformation ceremony.
If this resource is only used for practice, it can last for many years.
But if it is to be used to create magic weapons and cultivate certain magical powers of monsters, it is hard to say.
In the past two days, I haven't finished writing the preset plot.
Yesterday my child was infected with influenza A, and today my wife was infected and developed symptoms of coughing and discomfort.
Fortunately, Xiaodian sleeps in a separate room and has had little contact in the past two days, so it will be okay for the time being.
