Chapter 253 Golden Elixir Ceremony
Time flew by.
In the secret room, golden light shrouded a figure, and the rhythmic sound of breathing slowly echoed.
After three months of practice, Lin Shan's physical training has begun to show results.
The "Nine Transformations of the Golden Body" is indeed a secret of the Dai family. This body-building method is an adaptation of a Buddhist classic that is extremely yang and strong. Therefore, non-Buddhists can also practice it. It is very effective when used alone for body-building. .
According to what is written on the cloth, there are indeed nine levels of steps, from one to nine.
After the nine turns are complete, it is equivalent to a pure body, and you can start preparing to condense the golden elixir.
For Lin Shan, who is in the soul elixir stage, there is no difficulty in learning this technique. It is equivalent to taking a shortcut to the finish line in advance, then returning and walking through the previous hurdles again, which greatly reduces the difficulty.
Feeling the energy gradually rising in his body at this moment, Lin Shan slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, his body is plump again, his face is rosy, the dark circles under his eyes have disappeared, his lips are no longer shriveled, his internal organs have regained balance, and he has returned to the handsome young man he once was.
"Huh~ Finally I don't have to face people with a face of kidney deficiency."
Counting the time, three months are almost here.
If I still have the same dignified appearance as when I just came out of seclusion, I will probably become the laughing stock of the major forces in Luxi. Of course, no one dares to bring it up in person, and no one dares to laugh at Jin Dan in person, but secretly There will definitely be gossip.
Monks are also human beings, and naturally they also like to gossip and have fun.
Lin Shan is now refreshed, the confidence on his face appears again, and he feels full of strength again!
"Squeak~"
Pushing open the door of the training room and walking out of the palace where he lived, he saw a circle of rockeries and flowing water outside. The disciples of the Xun Gu Sect naturally spared no effort in building a residence for the leader. Lin Shan's mood became better and better.
He stretched out his hand and a stack of message symbols flew from somewhere in the courtyard.
Most of them are reports from his subordinates. In the past three months, hundreds of forces have sent their representatives to pay homage to the mountain.
Among them, all seventy-two forces from the Lujiang League were present, and the remaining sects that had established diplomatic relations with the Xun Gu Sect over the years all accepted the invitation and came to Tianfu Mountain with generous gifts.
Shanmen, which is usually deserted, becomes lively during this period.
Groups of members of his sect with different costumes visited the Xun Gu Sect and contacted each other. When the time comes, the main event will be when the leader of the Xun Gu Sect comes out of seclusion.
What surprised Lin Shan was that among the forces that came to congratulate him this time, there were also many Jindan masters.
The other nine of the top ten elders in the Lujiang League all came to Jindanqi to congratulate him in person, which was a big show of respect. After all, they are all die-hard allies now, and everyone will be harmed and prospered.
The ancestor of the four great families in Wangyue City, the leader of Lingyun Sect among the four sects in Lunan, the leader of Xianhe Sect, the leader of Zhaoshen Castle, the leader of Liuyang Sect, and the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Yang family, the mining giant of Luzhong County,
The ancestor of the Yang family in the late Jindan period!
This time the Yang family did not randomly send a real person from the Jindan stage like the last time Xun Gu Sect was established. Instead, the ancestor of the Yang family came in person. This was also the first time for this old man to visit Xun Gu Sect, which made Lin Shan slightly Surprised.
He is also a smart man and knows that even if the Xun Gu Sect worked closely with the Yang family before, the ancestor of the Yang family would not come to congratulate him in person. He must have other important matters to discuss.
In addition, there was also a visit from a strange face, Jin Dan Zhenren.
A Doctor of the Five Classics from Yunchuan Academy, Zhenren Zhou with the Buddhist name "Chongli".
On behalf of Yunchuan Academy, Zhou Zhenren came to support Xun Gu Sect, the financial backer behind it, which was considered as it should be. Even so, the senior leaders in the sect were flattered, and the disciples in the sect were also honored.
Yunchuan Academy is one of the top ten academies in the Lu Kingdom. Although it ranks in the middle, it is still an incredible power.
Belonging to the second echelon of the top aristocratic families in the Lu State, there are dozens of Jindan-level real people in the family.
A complete behemoth.
Lin Shan didn't feel anything at all. He was from the Black Lotus Sect, which was once the top sect of the demonic world. Even if he is clean now, he still had a glorious time in the underworld, so he was indifferent and indifferent.
But now that the "Nine Turns of the Golden Body" has been mastered and the kidney deficiency problem has been temporarily solved, we can't neglect our new and old friends, and we should treat them well.
……
Three days later, a grand meeting was held on the top of Tianfu Mountain.
The leader of Xun Gu has broken through the golden elixir stage, opened the gate to welcome friends from all over the world, and hundreds of forces have gathered together.
Some forces from the Lujiang River Basin and even Western Lu came with their teams one by one. In total, there were thousands of people. There was no room for them in the hall, and some seats were placed outside the hall.
Everyone exchanged glasses, chatted and laughed, teams of dancing girls swayed gracefully, and plates of delicacies were placed on the table.
During the banquet, representatives of many forces arranged their seats in order, from front to back according to their backgrounds, and toasted to Lin Shan, the leader of Xun Gu Cult, who was above the main hall.
Of course, while congratulating, presenting gifts is also a necessary part.
"Zhenren Zhou, a doctor of the Five Classics of Yunchuan Academy, presented a gourd of purple immortal sand to wish the leader of Xungu a great success!"
A rites official recited loudly. Below him, a disciple from Yunchuan Academy held a big red tray with a purple gourd on it. Seeing that this disciple in the late stage of Qi training was walking cautiously and his face was red from suppressing it, this gift turned out to be true. Extremely expensive and "heavy".
Lin Shan looked down at the first person on the right. Here in Lu State, the right is respected.
Zhenren Zhou, a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance, was raising his glass from a distance, smiling and nodding to Lin Shan who was standing above him.
Lin Shan also raised his glass in toast and responded with a smile on his face. He secretly thought that Zhenren Zhenren was really grand this week. A gourd of purple fairy sand was equivalent to a fourth-level spiritual material. It was indeed a big deal!
Of course, the Xun Gu Sect also donates tens of thousands of spiritual stones to Yunchuan Academy every year. The amount has been huge over the years, and there will be long-term cooperation every year in the future. This gift is not a loss.
Next, the official of the Book of Rites observed the words and expressions. After watching the interaction between the two, he continued to read the next item.
"The ancestor of the Yang family, a family of cultivators in Luzhong County, presented ten kilograms of mithril to Taibao to wish the leader of Xungu the beginning of his journey!"
A disciple of the Yang family was holding a tray, and it was extremely difficult to walk. Taibao Mithril was also a fourth-level spiritual material. Although it only weighed ten kilograms, it had the power of gravity. You could tell his condition by looking at his slightly trembling shoulders. Very reluctantly.
Lin Shan's heart moved, it was the same fourth-level spiritual material!
The ancestor of the Yang family is so generous!
Could it be that with the celebration held by this breakthrough, I can gather together the materials for my natal soul treasure?
Lin Shan was secretly looking forward to it, but on the surface he still expressed gratitude and raised his glass to the first row under his left hand. The ancestor of the Yang family smiled nonchalantly when he saw this, and drank the wine cup in his hand in one gulp.
The Li Keji official was very discerning. After the Xun Gu Cult Leader and the Yang Family Patriarch had finished drinking, they immediately started chanting seamlessly. The operation was so smooth that no one could find any faults.
"The four major aristocratic families in Wangyue City jointly presented an ancient Fenglei tree to wish Master Xungu a bright future!"
The four disciples from the aristocratic families below all stepped forward, holding together a six-foot-long branch. It was only as thick as a forearm, but with the breeze flowing above it and the green arc jumping, it was clearly an incredible fourth-level spiritual material!
Lin Shan was overjoyed. He didn't expect that a grand gathering would be held for a spiritual material that he rarely saw in ordinary times, and all the major forces would take the initiative to send it as a congratulatory gift!
Is this power? So it's so easy?
For the first time, he discovered that sometimes things that were out of his reach would be easily solved once his strength and status increased.
With power and power, no wonder so many people are chasing fame and wealth.
If I were not the leader of a sect, but just a casual cultivator who had broken through the golden elixir stage, no one would care about me, right?
The ancient wind and thunder tree is obviously a fourth-level spiritual tree that is suitable for Lin Shan's martial arts. It was specially selected by the four major families in Wangyue City and given away in this celebration to express the importance they attach to Lin Shan personally and the Xun Gu Sect.
Of course, how the four major families allocate their efforts in private, how they reach consensus, and what exchanges of interests they make are not known to outsiders.
Lin Shan was really grateful this time. After all, he had the twin spiritual roots of wind and thunder. This spiritual material was indeed suitable for him, so he stood up and toasted below.
The golden elixir ancestors of the four major families in Wangyue City also smiled and stood up to toast in return.
The ancestor of the Yang family frowned slightly when he saw this scene. He glanced at both sides with a slightly ugly look on his face.
Zhenren Zhou from Yunchuan Academy was sitting opposite the ancestor of the Yang family. He noticed the subtlety of this and had a thoughtful look on his face.
It seems that the Lujiang League is not monolithic.
The treasure offerings continued next.
"The leader of the Lingyun Sect, presents a bottle of the best magic elixir to nourish the spirit, and wishes the leader of Xungu a great future!"
"Master of the Immortal Crane Sect, I would like to present you with a spiritual crane of the foundation-building period, and wish the ancient leader Xun Gu a great career!
"Master of Zhaoshen Castle, I will send you a puppet of the foundation-building mechanism. I wish Master Xun Gu a long and prosperous life!"
"Head of the Liuyang Sect, I present you with a bowl of Pure Yang Yuanzhen Water, wishing Master Xungu to eliminate misfortune!"
……
The four sects in Lunan operate independently and are not as close as the four aristocratic families in Wangyue City. Therefore, the gifts sent by each are somewhat different, but they are all valuable gifts with their own characteristics.
Lin Shan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and toasted each other in thanks, and the four Jindan masters also returned the courtesy.
For a moment, he couldn't help but feel in a trance while receiving the gift.
This scene looks a bit like the one he attended in the East China Sea with his good brothers Lin Fan and Lei Yuzi when he was still in the late stage of Qi training in the Song Dynasty. The birthday of Guizhen held on Diaolie Island was a bit similar!
At that time, he was just a newbie. He and Lin Fan watched the turtle master enjoying the pilgrimage from all directions, presenting rare treasures one by one. Sitting at the mountain gate without leaving home, he could lie down and count money endlessly, feeling in his heart Envy, admiration and longing.
Now, he has reached the height he was before, and he has the illusion that things are right and people are different.
It's a pity that now that he is successful and famous, there is no old friend to accompany him, and he doesn't know what is happening to Lin Fan now. Wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, just like walking in brocade at night.
Of course, Lin Shan would never admit it. He actually just wanted to show off in front of his good brothers.
No way, no matter how successful you are, this is the nature of everyone.
By this time, the ten Jindan masters had finished congratulating each other, and then came a group of small forces.
"The Wang family, a family of cultivators, presents a box of thousand-year-old Qiongsang spiritual tea to wish the leader of the Xungu religion eternal blessings!"
"Luxi Canghai Chamber of Commerce presents a morning rain pomegranate tree to wish Master Xungu good luck!"
"Xunyang Villa in Geshan offers two Xuanhuo banana leaves to wish the leader of the Xungu cult as strong as a blazing fire!"
"The people from Mangze Hushan Mountain offer ten water sunflower and tiger whips to wish the leader of Xungu the colorful flags flying!"
……
Lin Shan thanked them one by one, which comforted them.
These small forces came to support him, and they all wanted to show their faces in Tianfu Mountain, hoping that they would become familiar and be promoted in the future. They gritted their teeth and took out their own treasures in an attempt to please the new leader.
The first few were fine, but when someone in the middle heard someone giving him a tiger whip and wishing him flying colorful flags, Lin Shan's face darkened.
Who doesn't know that his leader is a bachelor?
So far, the Yuan Yang has not been lost, and the red flag has not fallen, and there is no chance to display it. How about the colorful flags flying? Are you kidding me?
Um? People from Hushan?
Why does this name feel so inexplicably familiar?
The scoundrels below, such as Mu Yan, Wu Hanqiao, and Gao Daoda, had been secretly observing the face of the leader at the banquet. When they noticed that the boss was in danger, they secretly took notes one by one, thinking that they would give that "Hushan man" something to do when they got back. Put eye drops and let him know why the flowers are so red.
Sometimes once people sit in a high position, there will be many pairs of eyes staring at you below, trying to find opportunities to find ways to please you. Every expression and movement will trigger a series of subsequent reactions.
Of course, Lin Shan didn't notice this. After all, there were more than a hundred forces on the field, and he was too busy to do it. He had forgotten what he had heard.
The treasure presentation session alone at this grand event made him a lot of money!
For the first time, he experienced the happiness of Donggui Zhenren back then!
It's so nice to lie down and wait for someone to give you money!
At this time, I am afraid I should be able to collect nearly half of the materials for the natal soul treasure.
……
After the treasure offering is over, it is the announcement stage.
As a newly promoted Jindan Daoist, it’s time for him to be given a dharma title.
In the future, others can also call him "real person so-and-so" instead of calling him by his first name.
Lin Shan has also considered this point in the past three months. He has thought about many Dharma names, such as:
"Longwu"
"Hero"
"War Sky"
"Jiba"
"Show your power"
This type of prefix is more popular, but it always feels a bit weird.
There are also examples:
"Bamboo Soul"
"Void Star"
"Seven Arrows"
"Summoning"
"Thunder"
This type of allegorical prefix represents his skills, spiritual treasures, and magical powers, but it feels a bit difficult to express his feelings directly.
Another example:
"Xunfeng"
"Gale Wind"
"Thunder"
"Crazy Thunder"
"Wind and Thunder"
This type of prefix fits his spiritual root attributes, but it still feels a bit lacking.
In the end, Lin Shan still adhered to the principle of respecting his own heart, original desires, all demands, and the beautiful sustenance he truly expected from the inside out, and went round and round back to the beginning:
"Looking for the Ancient".
He is the leader of the Xun Gu Cult, and pursuing the ancient rhyme has always been his deepest desire, so why not just call the dharma title "Xun Gu".
The name of the Dharma accompanies the monk's life, representing the person's life, achievements, ambitions, skills, secret knowledge, magical powers, etc. It is a sign for walking in the world of cultivation in the future. You must follow your own heart.
You can lie to others, but you cannot lie to yourself.
The true meaning of the true self, knowing the heart and seeing the nature.
If you take a wrong name, it will have a major impact on your future career as an immortal. This will become an obstacle on the road to immortality, so you can't be careless!
Lin Shan thought about it and compared it in many ways, but still felt that this one sounded the most comfortable.
So at the Tianfu Mountain celebration, in front of hundreds of forces in Western Shandong, he announced his new dharma title.
Many forces also congratulated:
"Meet Master Xun Gu!"
The ancestor of the Yang family and a group of Jindan monks also bowed their hands and saluted:
“I’ve seen Taoist brother Xun Gu!”
All the disciples of the Xun Gu Sect showed enthusiasm, and one by one they shouted loudly on the mountain and down the mountain:
"Congratulations to the leader, the title has been decided, and he will rule the world for generations to come!"
The rumble of thunder shook the sky completely.
Lin Shan stood on the top of the mountain, with his hands behind his back, high-spirited, and his clothes flowing. At this moment, he looked like a heroic figure.
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord still wore the hood of his gray robe and stood behind him without saying a word, as if he was willing to be Lin Shan's shadow.
Master Zhankong stroked his beard and smiled, as if he was witnessing the rise of a new generation of stars.
Lu Xiuming was sincerely happy. He had devoted so much effort to the Lin Chamber of Commerce and the Xun Gu Sect. This was his home and foundation. The stronger the foundation, the happier he was.
The two young men, Mu Yan and Wu Hanqiao, were full of envy, imagining that one day they could become a figure like the leader, who would be powerful and come to court from all over the world. They were exactly the same as Lin Shan and Lin Fan envied Master Gui back then!
Gao Daoda, Li Yuanjie, Yu Jiaoniang and others lowered their heads, with awe in their eyes. They had all been severely beaten by the cultivation world, so they had absolute humility towards the strong. They knew that Xun Gu Sect would be on the uphill road from now on. Under the leadership of this young leader, it has grown and developed step by step.
The two brothers Shang Lu and Song Zhong, the second tyrant of Yushan, stared up blankly with their mouths open, not knowing what they were thinking in their hearts.
The disciples in the sect were excited, thinking that they could hold their heads high when going out to meet people in the future. At the same time, they were thinking about whether the sect leader would give any benefits to the whole mountain after breaking through the golden elixir stage. Little people only care about their own well-being. This is also true. There is nothing wrong with that.
The other guests had different expressions. They looked at the young face of Xun Gujiao. He had broken through the golden elixir before he was a hundred years old and was enough to guard the mountain gate for more than three hundred years. With such talent, he might be able to dominate the Lujiang River Basin in the future. , and even the entire Luxi power structure!
The future of the Lujiang League is likely to depend on him!
Including the ancestors of the Yang family, everyone was thinking about how to win over Lin Shan and seek future benefits for the family behind them.
This is the real world of cultivation. When you gain strength and show your prowess, most people will not immediately jump out like in the novel and jump out to kill you, turning into a villain to bully you. Instead, they will become a People want to make friends and hope to get a return on their investment.
It’s not that there are too many good people, but that everything must be done in line with interests.
Killing geniuses will not make the forces behind you stronger. Every family sect will decline. If you can befriend a young strong man in advance, you can leave a legacy for the next generation when you grow old and die. road.
Thinking of this, the ancestor of the Yang family couldn't help but glance at a beautiful figure behind him. That was his granddaughter.
I remember that since the founding of the Xun Gu Sect, it still lacks a leader’s wife, right?
The ancestors of the four major families in Wangyue City also glanced at the four beautiful figures behind them without leaving any trace, and they were also the descendants of their clans.
We seem to remember that since the founding of Xun Gu Sect, it seems that it really lacked a leader’s wife!
The heads of the four sects in Lunan all glanced at the eight beautiful figures behind them without leaving any trace. They were all their direct disciples.
But we remember that Xun Gu Sect has been established for so long, so it’s time to have a leader’s wife!
These golden elixir masters looked at each other one by one, faintly tit for tat, secretly competing with each other, refusing to give in to each other.
