"When you get started, I will give you new immortal weapons!"
With a wave of his hand, a set of three swords appeared in three colors: gold, red and purple.
A dark red robe with gold threads woven into clouds.
A pale gold, black ring with a diameter of nine inches and an embossed snake pattern.
The magic sword is one of the treasures left by Zhang Min in Zhongnan Mountain, the "Three Yangs and One Qi Sword", a spiritual treasure with twelve forbidden spirits.
The robe is one of the six immortal artifacts of the Ancient Dragon Court in the Liaozhai world, the "Red Cloud Robe", a forbidden immortal artifact.
The light golden ring, called the 'Golden Snake Ring', was made by him using the remains of the Bas snake in the late Immortal Period in the Ancient Dragon Court, which has three Immortal Taboos.
In addition to this golden snake ring, Xu Junming obtained four immortal-level dragon bones from the ancient dragon court.
One of the broken ones was more serious, and after refining, it turned into pure white bone essence to support itself.
One of them was trained into a three-foot-long giant sword, named 'Dragon Breaking Sword', which was given to the eldest disciple Qin Zhong by the Three Immortals.
One was made into a Taijia white dragon boat and given to Zhuge Wolong.
The last one was made into the Taiyi Golden Dragon Boat and given to the third disciple Yan Chixia.
As for the Chunyang Sword and Tiandun Sword obtained from Master Chunyang, it was not that Xu Junming was reluctant to give them to Chen Lin, but that these two swords were flying swords, not magic swords, so giving them to him would have been a waste.
He felt the powerful spiritual energy lingering on the three treasures in front of him, especially the robe and golden ring, which far exceeded his most proud spiritual treasure, the "Five Poison Immortal Sword".
Seeing the warmth in Chen Lin's eyes, Xu Junming smiled faintly, waved and the three magic weapons flew into his hand again and disappeared.
A look of despair appeared on Chen Lin's face.
"When you officially become my disciple, these treasures will still be yours."
"Yes, disciple, I obey."
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Master, I have a heartfelt request."
"explain."
"I still have several disciples. Although they are from the demon sect, they have not contracted bad habits. They have excellent minds, extraordinary understanding and aptitude. Therefore, I want to bring them under my mentor's sect."
"How many people are there? What are their names?"
"Xu Feiniang, Lin Yuan, Yue Qinbin!"
"It is indeed them!" Xu Junming thought to himself.
In the eyes of the people of the Emei Sect, Xu Feiniang, the Wonderful Immortal Girl, is naturally an evil evildoer who wants to be eliminated quickly. However, in the eyes of Xu Junming, she is truly compassionate and righteous for being able to risk her own life to fight against the increasingly large Emei Sect.
You know, even immortal-level demons like Old Man Shipi and Jiu Pan Po are afraid of Emei like a tiger. If they weren't forced into a corner by a few Emei juniors, they would have been a tortoise all the time.
This shows how much pressure Xu Feiniang faces.
In contrast, Xu Junming himself also wanted someone like Xu Feiniang who did not forget his teacher's kindness and had a filial piety.
I also don’t want a heavenly immortal disciple like Old Man Shipi.
Although Lin Yuan and Yue Qinbin are rarely mentioned in the book, they occasionally appear a few times, and both are valued by both good and evil.
"My Chongshan lineage has its own laws. If you want to enter our sect, you must pass the human-level test of my 'Human Soul Divine Sect' before you can enter the inner sect to practice. Only those who pass the 'earth'-level test can become a direct descendant.
Only by passing the 'Heaven'-level test can you go down the mountain and walk."
"...Since you have become my disciple, you should also abide by this rule."
If Chen Lin had not promised to accept him as a disciple, Xu Junming would not have accepted him even though he was the Patriarch of Taiyi Hunyuan.
Chen Lin nodded and was about to speak when his eyes suddenly lit up.
"The name of my mentor is 'True Lord Chongshan'?"
Xu Junming nodded slightly.
"Half a year ago, there was a rumor in the spiritual world that my mentor and the god Nifanta fought in Baiyang Mountain for three days and three nights, and finally won with a sword technique, which shocked the world!"
There was a touch of excitement in Chen Lin's eyes. He never expected that the master he worshiped not only had the cultivation level of an immortal, but also a being who could be stronger than Shenifanta.
When he entered Taoism, he had already achieved the level of Buddhist power.
If he hadn't made a vow when he became enlightened that he would never ascend unless he accumulated millions of good deeds, he would have become a member of the spiritual world by now.
But such a Buddhist saint was defeated by his master?!
In an instant, his mentor's figure became even more majestic in his eyes.
The slightest dissatisfaction with being forced to give up the Wutai Sect and resume practicing Taoism disappeared in an instant.
"The ability of a mentor makes his disciples feel convinced!"
Chen Lin bowed respectfully and said.
Xu Junming smiled calmly.
"There are still seven days before the fight. I will explain to you the Chunyang Taoist method for seven days. When you are reborn the next day, you can resume your cultivation as soon as possible."
Chen Lin nodded, sat cross-legged and meditated, and his expression gradually calmed down.
"I have an empty stomach, and the way I speak is still empty...!"
Looking at Chen Lin who seemed to be enlightened, Xu Junming nodded secretly in his heart.
This disciple can become the founder of a sect and make the Wutai sect prosperous. At the same time, he can also compete with Shushan Emei. His aptitude, understanding, and even courage are all top-notch.
…
In the spacious and magnificent hall, except for the main seat in the middle, there are more than a dozen monks and laymen sitting cross-legged in two rows.
Everyone exudes a deep aura, which shows that their cultivation is extremely advanced.
Especially the Toutuo sitting on the left, wearing Taoist attire, has an even more obscure aura. In contrast, sitting on the right, a beautiful Taoist nun wearing a purple skirt, is even worse.
However, next to him, there was a young man who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a blue Taoist robe and a golden crown, but his aura was completely different from that of the Toutuo.
Compared to the three of them, the rest are a little worse.
"Emei's letter of challenge was sent three days ago. Today is the competition period. Why hasn't the leader come out to take charge of the overall situation?"
A monk with a fat head and big ears turned his head after finishing speaking, "Xu Feiniang, I am usually the closest to you among the sect leaders."
The Taoist nun in a purple dress gave him a cold look.
"Fayuan, what do you mean?"
"Hey, it's not interesting. I'm just asking about the whereabouts of the leader. Why are you so reacting? Doesn't it mean that the leader's departure really has something to do with you?"
"Fayuan, if you are disrespectful to Senior Sister Xu, don't blame me for being rude to you."
The third person on the right, a young man wearing a white robe and with a sharp breath, glared angrily.
"Lin Yuan, Senior Brother Fayuan is just concerned about the leader's whereabouts. Why are you so excited?"
Fa Yuan, a tall and thin young man wearing a green Taoist robe, said in a cold voice.
"Long Fei...!"
"alright!"
With a loud shout, powerful mana surged out. Toutuo, who was sitting first on the left hand side, opened his eyes, and his majestic gaze swept over everyone.
"We are facing a formidable enemy, are you going to have internal strife?"
Yue Qinbin, who was wearing a green robe and a golden crown, narrowed his eyes and thought to himself: "Senior Brother Tuotuo's cultivation level is even higher."
"Senior brother, please calm down. Our hearts go to Wutai and we have no intention of internal strife. We were just concerned about the leader's whereabouts and lost our composure for a moment." Long Fei said loudly.
"What Junior Brother Long Fei said is true. In addition, I suggest that now that the enemy is facing us and the leader is not around, we should also ask Senior Brother Tuotuo to take charge of the overall situation and lead us to fight against the Emei Sect." Fa Yuan said.
"I agree with Senior Brother Fayuan and ask Senior Brother Tuotuo to take charge of the overall situation." Long Fei agreed.
"I also agree with what Senior Brother Fayuan said."
For a time, the hall was divided into two groups.
Long Fei, Sun Moon Monk Qian Xiao, Zhu Hong, Ni Lanxin, Pang Yao and others all supported Fa Yuan and let Tuo Tuo take charge of the overall situation.
Xu Feiniang, Yue Qinbin, Lin Yuan, and Taoist Jiao Shan frowned and did not make a sound.
"cough…!"
It was not a loud cough, but it accurately reached the ears of everyone in the hall.
Everyone was stunned and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
Yue Qinbin put down his hand and looked calmly at Tuotuo, who was on the left.
"Elder brother, as far as I know, you were on duty outside the Taiyi Palace that day. You should know the master's whereabouts best."
Tuotuo looked over with a deep gaze.
"Junior Brother Yue seems to have something in his words?"
Yue Qinbin met the other party's eyes and said calmly: "Elder brother is too worried, I'm just asking. Moreover, it is well known to everyone that senior brother was on duty at Taiyi Palace that day."
"What Senior Brother Yue said is true. Senior Brother, you were on duty outside Taiyi Palace seven days ago. You know Master's whereabouts best." Lin Yuan said quickly.
"you…?"
Just as Long Fei was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed.
Not just him, but everyone in the palace's expressions changed slightly.
A five-color spiritual light flew in from outside the hall like lightning, and after circling the main seat in the middle, a tall, thin, middle-aged man with a light face wearing a blue cloak appeared in front of everyone.
Master Tuotuo looked solemn, and Xu Feiniang, Yue Qinbin, Long Fei, and Fayuan also stood up quickly.
"See the leader!"
Looking around at the subordinates, Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch Chen Lin's eyes flashed.
If it were before, he might still value the Wutai Sect's thousand-year foundation. But now that he has decided to re-enter the sect and practice again, the charm of the Wutai Sect has been reduced by half in an instant.
Now in Chen Lin's eyes, this unexpected sect has become a burden on his path to success.
Except for a few disciples who could escape from the mire and stick to their principles, he didn't care about the rest who had fallen into the devil's path.
Seeing that Patriarch Hunyuan was silent for a long time, everyone felt secretly uneasy. This was the first time they had encountered this kind of situation. Especially those like Fa Yuan and Long Fei who were clamoring to get rid of their position as temporary leader, were even more panicked.
"Just get up!"
A cool voice reached my ears.
Everyone was shocked, "Thank you so much, Master."
Standing up, Tuotuo looked at Patriarch Hunyuan's eyes as deep as the abyss. His heart thumped. He was about to speak when he heard: "Zhu Hong?"
Zhu Hong, who was sitting behind Long Fei, almost jumped up when he heard this and said tremblingly: "Zhu Hong pays homage to the leader. May the leader be blessed with peace and happiness. May he enjoy immortal blessings forever and live as long as heaven!"
Patriarch Hunyuan looked calm, "Where is the 'Taiyi Five Yanluo' I gave you?"
Zhu Hong's expression changed slightly, "The leader's huge treasure, the disciples dare not carry it with them. They are currently in the cave."
Patriarch Hunyuan pressed his fingers with both hands, and along with the powerful fluctuations of magic power, a five-color smoke flew out of Zhu Hong's magic bag in an instant, like a lantern moth flying into flames, and disappeared in the palm of Patriarch Hunyuan's hand.
Zhu Hong's expression changed horribly, and he knelt down with a 'pop' sound.
"Forgive me, my ancestor. I was so anxious to attack Mount Emei that I returned from Xuansong Valley in Taihang Mountain in such a hurry that I misremembered the location of the treasure given by the leader...!"
Before he finished speaking, a wave of violent waves swept over him.
In an instant, Zhu Hong was knocked back five or six feet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Zhu Hong, whose face turned pale, did not dare to neglect him. He quickly got up, turned over and knelt down again, kowtowing like a fool.
"The leader forgives, the leader atones, the disciple was negligent for a moment, and he will never dare to do it again next time."
The sound of 'bang bang' kowtows resounded throughout the hall. Even if he was in the early stage of Nascent Soul, after dozens of kowtows, his forehead became red.
Although Tuotuo and Long Fei were close friends with Zhu Hong, they were careful and would not touch the frown of Patriarch Hunyuan at this time.
Fa Yuan was impatient, "Master, please consider that Junior Brother Zhu has contributed a lot to searching for the five poisons and refining the 'Five Poison Immortal Sword' for the leader, so please bypass him for the time being."
With someone in the spotlight, Master Tuotuo, Long Fei, Sun and Moon Monk Qianxiao and others all started speaking.
For a time, there were voices begging for Zhu Hong's mercy in the hall.
Patriarch Hunyuan, who had been silent all this time, nodded slightly.
"Forget it, considering your great contribution to our religion in the past, I will let you off this time. If you dare to deliberately deceive me next time, don't blame me for being rude."
If it weren't for the fact that there was a powerful enemy at hand and internal chaos would not easily arise, he would definitely kill this guy who dared to lie to him this time.
"Yes, yes, this disciple will never dare to do it again."
Zhu Hong nodded repeatedly.
"Get out of here!"
"yes!"
Looking at Zhu Hong, who was curled up and retreating into a corner like a hyena, a trace of contempt flashed in Patriarch Hunyuan's eyes.
This Zhu Hong only had the appearance of a middle-class person in practice, and he was also cunning, selfish and greedy. If he had not been respectful to him on weekdays and had not violated the canons, he would have been executed by him long ago.
Later, what Grandmaster Hunyuan didn't expect was that Zhu Hong actually found the Xinjin Poison Locust among the five innate poisons for him, and solved the most critical main ingredient of the Five Poisons Immortal Sword.
When I feel happy in my heart, I want to give some rewards.
It happened that Zhu Hong said that in the process of searching for the 'Xinjin Poisonous Locust', he had a sleight-of-hand fight with Zui Taoist, one of the Seven Immortals of Emei Luofu. He was defeated because he had no protective magic weapon. He wanted to borrow the Five Smokes of Taiyi.
Luo, go find your way back.
Patriarch Hunyuan has been grudged since he was injured by Qi Shuming's Thunderbolt Sword last time. Hearing what Zhu Hong said, plus his great contribution to poisoning, he has always emphasized that those who have made mistakes must be punished, and those who have made contributions must be rewarded.
He didn't think too much, so he gave Taiyi Five Yanluo as a gift.
Later, as the second sword fight with Emei was approaching, he concentrated on refining the Five Poison Immortal Sword and forgot about the Taiyi Five Yanluo.
What's more important is that he is mentally connected to this treasure and can take it back with a single thought.
I never thought that Zhu Hong would be so bold as to embezzle this treasure.
Therefore, I have never been in a hurry to take it back.
It wasn't until he left his mentor today and Xu Junming reminded him to take back the Taiyi Five Yanluo that he remembered that the treasure was still in Zhu Hong's hands.
After learning that his mentor was the master of Chongshan who once defeated Shen Nifentuo in a martial arts battle, and seeing his master's three tyrannical treasures, Chen Lin worshiped his mentor like a god. After returning, the first thing he did was to take back the Taiyi Five.
