Chapter 2759: Arrogant at the front and respectful at the back
One of the weakest outer sect elders quickly stood up and picked up the invitation letter. The content inside was that Wang Zhi invited Lu Chen to participate in the weapon refining ceremony.
At that time, Lu Chen had not yet joined the Weapon Refining Alliance. Naturally, there was no introduction to the sect. If it were an invitation like this, he would basically be classified as a casual cultivator and be led to the collective residence by the outer sect disciples.
But when the outer elder picked up the jade talisman, especially after seeing the contents inside, his attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees, and a respectful smile immediately appeared on his face.
This change made the onlookers who had been paying attention, as well as many inner and outer sect disciples, all cast their gazes on the outer sect elders. Even the three inner and outer sect elders who had just suppressed the palpitations in their hearts also looked over, waiting for what would happen next.
.
"It turns out to be the Weapon Refining Alliance, Junior Brother Xiao, the candidate for the general leader. I'm disrespectful!" Zhang Desha, the elder of the outer sect, had a flattering smile on his old face.
Many elders of the inner and outer sects of Donghua Sect are honorary elders of the Weapon Refining Alliance. They enjoy various preferential benefits of the Weapon Refining Alliance, but just now they found it difficult to be their young master.
Although he is only one of many candidates, those who can become candidates are those from the Weapon Refining Alliance who have carefully selected and passed the examination.
This kind of person, let alone the Donghua Sect, which ranks lowest among the top magic sects. Even the strongest top magic sect will treat candidates politely when they meet them. Thinking of what the four people did just now, Zhang Desha
The old face turned red.
After hearing Zhang Desa's words, Sun Wei and the others immediately stood up and responded. Their originally indifferent expressions suddenly changed into smiling faces. If they hadn't seen their faces just now, they wouldn't have believed the dignified elders of the inner and outer sects of Donghua Sect. Such qualities
!
It explains the meaning of being slapped in the face without knowing anything!
The onlookers and many inner and outer disciples were dumbfounded at this time. Especially those who had laughed just now, their faces were burning with pain. Although their skin and flesh did not hurt, their hearts were bleeding.
How exaggerated the smile was just now, how embarrassing it is now.
The title of being blind and blind will accompany them for life wherever Lu Chen appears, unless they can make everyone present lose their memory.
This is what happens when you laugh at others casually, and it is also the result of people who like to watch the fun. The most taboo thing is that you can watch the fun but you can't just interrupt and laugh. Otherwise, you will easily become a fool and be treated as the object of ridicule after dinner.
As for the two inner disciples who just said that they wanted to drive away Lu Chen and continue to pursue Wang Qimeng, they were now looking at them with ridicule from their fellow disciples. They wished they could get through a crack in the ground.
Shame on you, shame on you!
The few people who collected the information were also very shocked at this time. According to the information they collected, there were only thirty-five candidates for the Weapon Refining Alliance.
However, Lu Chen does not exist among them, so Lu Chen has just recently joined the Weapon Refining Alliance. As the thirty-sixth candidate, he has such a level of strength and refining level when he first entered.
This proves that even if Lu Chen is a casual cultivator, he is also a casual cultivator with a strong inheritance. This is very important. It seems that in the future, a new generation of strong people will be born in the Qi Dao!
Right now!
An old figure rushed down from high in the sky inside the mountain gate, with sweat on his face due to anxiety.
Lu Chen was the life-saving straw for Wang Zhi to break through the limit of his life. Wang Zhi naturally relied heavily on Lu Chen. He was really busy with something just now, but after hearing the message from Wang Qimeng, he immediately put down what he was doing and rushed over at full speed.
Compared with the tasks assigned by the Demon Sect and the limit of his own life, the latter was relatively more important, and he also learned that Lu Chen came wearing a sixth-level purple robe.
Therefore, he became even more anxious, and at the same time, he cursed the four newly promoted elders who were welcoming guests at the mountain gate. This was the inheritance of an extraordinary master.
Moreover, he joined the Weapon Refining Alliance and became a candidate for the general leader. Even the great elder and the sect leader must be polite when they see Lu Chen. What qualifications do you newly promoted elders have to laugh at and show off to the guests?
Face.
As a veteran outer sect elder, although his status is not as high as that of the inner sect elders, Wang Zhi has a wide circle of friends and his own strength has reached the level of the Demon General.
He can rank in the top three among all the elders of the outer sect, surpassing many elders of the inner sect. Therefore, he also has a certain say in the Donghua Sect.
"How do you four entertain the distinguished guests? You are not afraid of embarrassing the Demon Sect."
After Wang Zhi landed, he cursed angrily at the four elders. Then he came to Lu Chen and laughed and said: "Brother Lu, you are here. I was dealing with some things just now. I wasted some time.
I didn't expect that you would be wronged.
For my sake, please don’t blame me, Donghua Sect. As for these four blind people, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation on behalf of the Demon Sect."
Lu Chen will not pay attention to these four dogs who look down on others, and it is not worth arguing with them. This time he came to Donghua Gate firstly to repay Wang Zhi's favor, and secondly to seize the Suzaku Fire. After failing to do this
Two things ago, unless someone is deliberately looking for trouble.
Lu Chen doesn't plan to pursue the case directly, and whether the time is right to take action is another matter.
"Brother, it's serious." Lu Chen waved his hand.
The four inner and outer sect elders also looked embarrassed at this time. The four of them were all newly promoted inner and outer sect elders. They were all inner sect disciples before. However, they were unable to break through their own bottlenecks for a long time, so they were arranged to become elders.
Therefore, when it comes to dealing with people, they are not as smooth and sophisticated as other elders. Therefore, they ignore that even the sixth-level weapon masters in casual cultivation are not something they can neglect.
Donghua Gate is about to hold a weapon refining ceremony, and the four of them are the welcoming elders.
The duty is to receive guests. If there is a problem in the reception, you will naturally be punished. Moreover, the actions of the four people just now were also a bit thoughtless. No matter how big the gap between expectations is, guests cannot be left alone.
If they were really investigated, they would at least be found guilty of dereliction of duty.
Therefore, when Wang Zhi reprimanded them, the four of them also apologized sincerely. As for whether they can be forgiven or not, it is not important. What is important is that today's events do not reach the ears of the great elder and the sect master, even if they have escaped disaster.
.
If it still reaches the ears of the great elder and the sect master, then you can only wish for blessings!
In fact, the four of them were somewhat complaining about Lu Chen at this time. If Lu Chen hadn't opened his mouth and said that he was a casual cultivator, the four of them would not have neglected Lu Chen. But the four of them did not want to think that the low-profile of others was not something they were looking for.
Excuse reasons.
If you can't do your job well, and if something goes wrong, you still shirk responsibility. No matter how high your position is, such a person will not be able to make a difference.
Because the mind is narrow-minded and the pattern is too small! The vision is limited and not worth mentioning!
After Wang Zhi and Wang Qimeng took Lu Chen out of sight, the onlookers and the disciples of the inner and outer sects realized that news was flying all over the sky. At the same time, Lu Chen's portrait also appeared in the major demon sect forces in the East.
.
Donghua Gate occupies a mountain range, and the area is naturally extremely vast. There are nine peaks and eighteen halls scattered among the mountains.
The main peak is usually not open to the public. Even when the sect leader discusses matters with the elders, they usually choose to do so on other peaks. The main peak is only briefly open during grand events such as the ancestor worship ceremony, that is, the weapon refining ceremony.
It is said that under the Suzaku, it is under the main peak. However, in less than a thousand years, even a strong person in the Demon King realm could not find its location.
There is a straight path from the mountain gate to the main peak. You can choose to walk below or fly in the air. However, because of the existence of the mountain protection formation, the flying height cannot exceed 100 meters.
We controlled the flight at a height of fifty meters in the air, and climbed to the main peak half an hour later. Except for the central square where the weapon refining ceremony was held, the rest of the place was filled with various buildings.
At this time, the place was full of people and bustling with people.
There is still one day left before the start of the weapon refining ceremony. Lu Chen has also been here at Donghua Gate for more than ten days. He has been staying in the courtyard for meditation these days. He has not gone out to hang out, nor has he made friends like others.
new friends.
Lu Chen did not respond to Wang Qimeng's invitation. Instead, he went into seclusion. Lu Chen was really afraid of this girl. No matter how he expressed it openly or secretly, this girl just refused to listen.
I come to Lu Chen’s courtyard every day, wanting to meet Lu Chen. Or maybe I want to take Lu Chen to visit Donghua Gate, Sima Zhao’s Heart.
After doing this three times in a row, Lu Chen simply went into seclusion in order to avoid her.
Anyway, the resources are sufficient and there is nothing to worry about. There is still half a month until the weapon refining ceremony starts. It is enough to break through the realm once. It is gratifying to succeed. If it fails, it is regarded as a retreat.
For half a month, Lu Chen practiced with peace of mind, and successfully broke through to the late stage of the Demon General realm after consuming 10 million low-grade magic stones.
As the realm continues to improve, the magic stones consumed for each breakthrough are also increasing exponentially. This time, it is just a breakthrough from the peak of the middle stage of the Demon General realm to the late stage.
It cost 10 million low-grade magic stones, and Lu Chen expected to accumulate it from the later stages of cultivation to the Great Consummation. Another 20 million low-grade magic stones were needed, plus the 80 million budgeted for breaking through to the sub-demon realm.
This is the amount of 100 million low-grade magic stones. Of course, if you practice ordinary skills, the consumption may be reduced by ten times. But Lu Chen, a big-time commodity, doesn’t want Lu Chen. Let alone 100 million, even if it is 1 billion, Chen Lu will earn it.
Pick.
Since I have to practice it again, I have to practice the strongest technique.
It took six days to break through, and Lu Chen spent another eight days to consolidate. The retreat ended only three hours before the weapon refining ceremony.
After taking a hot bath and changing into a brand new purple robe, Lu Chen walked out of the courtyard two hours later and saw the pretty Wang Qimeng standing at the corner of the street.
It's just half a month since they last met. Wang Qimeng's face looked a little haggard at this time, and he no longer smiled when he saw Lu Chen. There was still a trace of sadness in his eyes, which made Lu Chen even more dizzy.
Fortunately, Wang Zhi was standing next to her, otherwise Lu Chen wouldn't know what to do.
It's not that Lu Chen was indecisive, or that Lu Chen was putting on airs. It was just that he was surrounded by enemies from the demon world. It was difficult for Lu Chen to calm down and accept a new relationship when he was alone.
If there was no threat from enemies, Lu Chen might consider accepting Wang Qimeng's affection. After all, who doesn't like beautiful women?
Even if there are three thousand people in the harem, as long as he likes her, that's fine. But in the current crisis-ridden situation, Lu Chen doesn't have the heart to mess around with women anymore.
It can only be said that Wang Qimeng met the right person at the wrong time.
Although Wang Zhi was talking to Lu Chen, he noticed his apprentice's sadness from the corner of his eyes. It was just an emotional matter, and no one else could interfere.
Although he encouraged Wang Qimeng to move forward bravely, he was indifferent to Lu Chen. He himself also had a headache, so he couldn't force Lu Chen to accept his disciple.
From the building complex, we came to the square in the center. Today, there is a lot of people here. There is a huge platform in the center, and there is a transparent formation mask every ten meters on the platform.
There is a refining tank in the mask, and there is earth fire burning in the tank. There is a shelf next to the refining tank, but there is nothing on it now.
The platform is the contestant's position in the weapon refining competition. There are stepped stands around it. The higher it goes up, the more decorated it becomes, while the further down it becomes, the simpler and more crowded it becomes.
On the ninety-ninth floor, there are no longer individual tables, chairs, and sofas. Instead, there are huge viewing rooms. It is impossible to see the decoration inside clearly because of the formation obstruction.
At this time, there was a crowd of people in front of them. Everyone had a seat number in their hands. They were entering through the ticket gate and were guided to their seats by the disciple in charge of reception.
And some weapon masters holding the number plates participating in the competition, such as those held by Lu Chen, were led by the receptionist and walked onto the platform. Then, based on the echo between the number plates in their hands and the formation mask on the platform, they walked into a
in a photomask.
The process was going on in a chaotic manner, just when it was about to be Lu Chen's turn. Suddenly Lu Chen felt someone tight and his body flashed casually. Then he saw a small figure and almost fell to the ground.
I saw a cute girl of seven or eight years old, wearing an eye-catching earth princess dress. She pouted her little mouth and looked at herself with an angry look on her face.
Then a charming and picturesque woman, wearing the same princess dress, appeared next to the girl, and everyone around her was attracted by the two, one big and one small, like witches in colorful clothes, and the men were attracted by them.
Women are envious and jealous.
"Smelly brother, what are you hiding from?"
"Brother Lu, long time no see!"
Wang Zhi and Wang Qimeng, who were standing next to Lu Chen, suddenly looked at Lu Chen in shock when they heard the names of the two beauties, one big and one small. Lu Chen also had a confused look on his face.
These two people were clearly Su Yurong and Su Panpan. They came to watch the ceremony with the elders of the Demon Sect today. But they didn't expect that before entering the venue,
Encountering a familiar figure from behind, Gu Panpan rushed towards that figure under the gaze of many elders.
Then I heard Su Yurong's words, which made the elders of Qianhuan Sect immediately know that the handsome and extraordinary man in front of them was the beautiful big brother Su Panpan had often talked about in the past month.
