Chapter 125: Must-Visit Attractions in the Duxian Sect
"Senior Brother, no, Senior Changshou, it turns out you've been lenient with me before."
Since the first day of the Duxian Sect's disciple competition, when Xiaojiongfeng rose to fame with his wolf-toothed club, Aoyi's mind had been filled with these thoughts, and he couldn't shake them off.
The disciple competition of the Duxian Sect had reached the sixteenth day today, with the duel between the top 108 and the final 36 about to come to an end.
Aoyi had witnessed Li Changshou make more than twenty moves. Upon careful observation, he also noticed some of Li Changshou's "peculiar" traits.
Or rather, his exceptional qualities.
First of all, his foundation was solid. Senior Changshou's mana was very rich. When faced with some Qi Refiners slightly higher than his realm, he often narrowly won by relying on arrays that consumed relatively more mana.
Secondly, Senior Changshou's earth escape technique, compared to other Duxian Sect disciples', was more exquisite...
Although Aoyi didn't know why, when he saw his Senior Brother enter the earth, the smoothness, the naturalness, it formed a kind of profound charm of the Dao.
Pleasing to the eye, admirable!
This could be considered an earth escape technique, while other Duxian Sect disciples who used earth escape techniques...
Hmm, probably just a trivial skill of burrowing into the ground.
Lacking that flavor of Senior Changshou's.
"The reason why Senior Brother Changshou was chosen as the meritorious agent by the masters of the sect must have some reasons that I can't see."
These two days, Aoyi also felt a bit helpless.
The Duxian Sect competition was coming to an end, and tomorrow should be the end of the competition and the day they, the outsiders, left.
Aoyi chose to come to the Duxian Sect with the intention of finding an opportunity to have a face-to-face chat with Senior Changshou.
Although he had been making smooth progress in his cultivation recently, he also encountered some setbacks in his personal feelings...
Young dragons all have their ups and downs.
At this moment, Aoyi didn't know whether there would be a chance for him to sit by the lakeside cottage with Senior Changshou during this trip to the Duxian Sect, chatting and discussing freely...
"Xiaoyi?"
A call came from ahead.
Aoyi immediately stopped his train of thought, took two steps forward, and stood behind the thin-faced Daoist, whispering softly:
"Senior Uncle Qin, I'm here."
The so-called Senior Uncle Qin was a Qi Refiner from Jinao Island, Qin Wan.
This person was a named disciple of the Holy Man Tongtian, and had been on Jinao Island for a long time. He had heard the teachings of the Holy Man and had also endured hardships for his brothers. He had a good reputation among the Qi Refiners on Jinao Island.
In the past, when the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Explainer's Sect emerged from the Yu Xu Palace, embarked on the path, and became famous in the Three Thousand Worlds, the Qi Refiners on Jinao Island, unwilling to be outdone, also established a Ten-Day Jun;
Although their reputation did not soar, their momentum weakened by a few levels, and their cultivation was not comparable...
But their Ten-Day Jun was now also a relatively famous and powerful "group" within the Explainer's Sect!
Qin Wan, was the eldest among the Ten-Day Jun.
This person had profound cultivation, was good at alchemy, skilled in array formations, and had a wide circle of friends. He was quite famous in the Explainer's Sect.
Qin Wan had come to the Duxian Sect this time to mend relations with the followers of the Dao and express that the Qi Refiners of Jinao Island had no intention of targeting them before.
[How to express the goodwill of Jinao Island?]
Qin Wan had prepared some gifts to be given to the top three disciples of the Duxian Sect later; However, Qin Wan felt that this was still insufficient.
Therefore, Qin Wan, after greeting Aoyi, said warmly:
"The internal competition is almost over. Didn't you say that you have some friends here? Go and find your friends to come over. I'll give them some pills. To avoid people saying that we, the Qi Refiners of Jinao Island, are lacking in etiquette."
Aoyi smiled slightly at the words and said, "Senior Uncle, please wait. I'll go ask the attendants of the Duxian Sect and bring them up... Hanzhi, do you want to come with me?"
The girl Hanzhi sitting beside him turned her head and looked over, nodding gently with a smile.
Aoyi originally wanted to fly together, but Hanzhi took a small step back, indicating that Aoyi should fly ahead while she followed.
Aoyi's eyes showed a hint of disappointment, and he and Hanzhi flew out of the Jade Platform one after another.
Qin Wan watched this with a smile, shaking his head without saying much...
Young disciples always like to engage in these useless romantic affairs.
With little difficulty, Aoyi and Hanzhi obtained the permission of the elder of the Duxian Sect, and accompanied by the steward who had received Aoyi before, they flew to the gentle slope of the river valley and found Li Changshou.
As soon as Aoyi spoke, he said, "Senior Changshou, my Senior Uncle Qin wants to see you!"
Li Changshou smiled faintly.
If it weren't for always being passively monitored by the Wind Speech Curse, knowing that the Golden Immortal of Jinao Island wanted to give him a reward; when Aoyi suddenly said this, he would have thought that he had exposed something.
Following that, Li Changshou felt a bit powerless to complain.
Because Ling E suddenly broke through and accidentally revealed her true cultivation, their Xiaojiongfeng duo had attracted a lot of attention; Just as the "heat" was starting to die down, Aoyi and Hanzhi came to stir up trouble again...
The curious gazes of their fellow disciples from various places had not stopped for the past few days!
Now was not the time to care about these trivial matters.
Li Changshou pondered for a moment, deliberately asked, "Does Brother Yi know why your Senior Uncle wants to see me?"
"Well..."
Aoyi pondered for a moment and said that he just wanted to give some rewards; Li Changshou found a relatively safe excuse to refuse to go, then looked to the side, at the innocent and kind junior and junior sister...
After a while; With the accompaniment of Jiuwu, Hanzhi brought Ling E and Jiujiu to receive their rewards. Jiuwu beside them looked slightly embarrassed.
Senior Brother Changshou didn't know what was going on, even the rewards of the veteran Golden Immortal were not cared about...
Qin Wan, with a kind smile on his face, gave a few bottles of pills to Ling E and Jiujiu, and encouraged them with a warm voice, expressing the friendliness and kindness of the Qi Refiners of Jinao Island.
Three religions are one family, three friends laugh together.
Ling E and Jiujiu bowed in thanks. When facing the strong, Jiujiu also became much more respectful.
Then Qin Wan nodded with a smile, and Jiuwu immediately understood, said goodbye, and led the two away together.
"Hanzhi, why hasn't Aoyi returned yet?"
Hearing Qin Wan's question, Hanzhi hurriedly said, "Reporting to Senior Uncle Grandfather, Senior Brother Aoyi is currently chatting with his friend Li Changshou. He will be back soon; Senior Brother Changshou hasn't appeared today, fearing that coming to receive the reward would delay the competition. So, he didn't come up with us."
Qin Wan nodded slowly, scanning with his divine sense, seeing Aoyi talking with a disciple of the Dao below, he didn't look much.
For Qin Wan, this was just a trivial matter.
But just as this thought crossed his mind, Qin Wan remembered something and turned his head to look at Hanzhi sitting behind him, smiling and saying:
"I heard someone say that last time Aoyi fought here at the Duxian Sect and suffered a defeat, who was the person?"
Hanzhi whispered, "It's this Senior Changshou."
"Oh?" Qin Wan said, "Are they fighting because they don't know each other?"
"Yes, that's right," Hanzhi also smiled slightly, "My junior brother always mentions his Senior Brother Changshou and how capable he is. Speaking of this Senior Changshou, he's also quite a talented person. Although he hasn't become an immortal yet, the array he set up trapped my master when he entered it..."
As she said this, Hanzhi's face suddenly became somewhat dim.
Naturally, she thought of her unlucky "predecessor" and didn't know where her "predecessor" was now, wandering in some desolate mountain wilderness, running around for food...
Qin Wan comforted Hanzhi for a few words, then fell into contemplation, his eyes showing interest.
[Not yet an immortal, but can set up formations that can trap Celestials?]
This Qin Heavenly Sovereign was also a person who did whatever he wanted when he thought of something.
He got up and walked to the side, said a few words to a Celestial Realm elder of the Duxian Sect; This elder immediately reported this matter to the Sect Master, and Daoist Wuyou naturally agreed and made some arrangements.
But just as Qin Wan made a move, the Qi Refiners who had been bored here for half a month also got up one after another and expressed their interest in going to Xiaojiongfeng to observe.
And hearing that the Duxian Sect still had such a "wonderful place," the top experts of several Daoist branches also showed a little interest.
So...
At the bottom, Li Changshou, who was discussing poetry, songs, and philosophical thoughts with Aoyi all the way, using the Wind Speech Curse to eavesdrop on everything that was happening, felt a twitch in his heart.
He estimated that he probably couldn't avoid this hurdle today.
Could this famous Ten-Day Jun also have some tricks up their sleeves!?
As an old Golden Immortal of the Honghuang, how come he's fighting with a disciple like him today?
Could it be that there's a plot?
Li Changshou's mind raced, and Jiuwu rushed over in the air; Beside the Jade Platform, under the personal accompaniment of Daoist Wuyou, dozens of figures rode the clouds and headed slowly towards Xiaojiongfeng.
On the gentle slope of the river valley, Jiuwu grabbed Li Changshou's arm and shouted, "There's no time to explain, hurry and follow me. A group of senior experts are heading towards your serial array!"
Li Changshou's face showed a shocked expression, and he also felt a bit worried.
If his compound formation was exposed because of this, then the karma between him and the Ten-Day Jun would be established.
"Senior Brother, I still have a competition to attend..."
The short Daoist said anxiously, "You've won the last two matches. If you deal with that side later and come back, it'll be fine! There are several Golden Immortals and a group of Celestials over there! Who knows, you might become famous this time!"
Li Changshou: ...
Qi Refiner-specific curse words.
...
At the same time, above Central Shenzhou, the Nine Heavens.
In front of the Moon Elder's Hall, two young boys sat obediently there, holding up two wooden boards again.
The wooden board on the left was written:
[Protected by Heavenly Dao]
The wooden board on the right was written:
[Gone to attend the morning court]
Today was the day of the ten-yearly morning court of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. Various immortals gathered at the central Eighth Heaven Hall.
The Heavenly Court itself was a magical treasure, and the Lingxiao Treasure Hall was the core of this treasure, and it was also created by several saints working together.
However, how magnificent and majestic this place was, the young man sitting on the high platform of the hall, wearing a white robe, the Jade Emperor, felt embarrassed and helpless at this moment.
There was no other reason, the nominal ruler of the Three Realms, was now just a junior disciple of the Dao, doing a bit of a show here.
Unrecognized in the Five Continents, unable to communicate with the Four Seas; All the Three Thousand Great Worlds only heard of the names of the Six Sages, and very few people paid attention to this existence-less new Heavenly Court.
Even the young man sitting on the throne, with a youthful face, dressed in white robes, the Jade Emperor, often self-deprecatingly said that he might as well go back to ring the bell for the Dao Ancestor...
Today's morning court, the foremost seats were empty, reserved for the Supreme Old Lord, but unless something big happened, this saint's divine corpse, would not show up.
In addition to that, although most of the positions of the Heavenly Court gods were vacant, the various immortals stood in four neat rows.
The Heavenly Court still had to pay attention to its face.
The Moon Elder, as the god who managed marriages, although his cultivation was low, he stood slightly forward.
However, this old man never spoke easily, just listening on the side.
Today's Moon Elder was no different from before, bowing his head and listening to the various civil and military officials reporting some trivial matters.
The Heavenly Court's decrees couldn't be spread throughout the Three Realms, which meant that they didn't have much to do. They had to cooperate with this "energetic governance" monarch to perform a "dedicated to the end" drama.
But the young man on the throne, obviously, was not satisfied with this.
"My ministers."
The young man in white lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the jade slip in front of him, and calmly spoke, his voice circulating in the grand hall.
"Dongmu Gong's words, nowadays, the lands of the Five Continents are in turmoil, with various wild temples standing up and worshiping wild gods, which is against the heavenly way. However, our Heavenly Court is now weak in soldiers and horses and cannot be taken lightly. But to recruit these wild gods into the Heavenly Court with the position of the gods of righteousness, I also feel somewhat inappropriate, this matter seems too weak for our Heavenly Court's dignity. My ministers, do you have any good ideas?"
