West Lu, Lujiang River Basin, Tianfu Mountain.
At this moment, there are crowds of people, lanterns are decorated, countless guests come and go, and flowing water mats are spread one after another, stretching from the mountain to the bottom.
The real highlight is at the top of the mountain. Almost 70% of the power representatives of the Lu Kingdom's cultivation world have gathered here to offer congratulatory gifts to an old man on the stage.
"Congratulations to Patriarch Lu Que for breaking through the Nascent Soul and finding the Three Nascent Souls of the Ancient Sect. Congratulations. From then on, he stands at the top of the Lu Kingdom!"
"Hahahaha, please get up, please get up~"
"The soul of our ancestor is as old as the world, and his lifespan is as long as the sky. He is isolated in Chixiao City, and he once blocked millions of merchant soldiers! Now that the Nascent Soul is complete, who else can be called a rival?"
"Hey~ low-key and low-key~"
"In today's world, golden elixirs are rampant, but the ancestor has found a new way! The only soul cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage in this world, he has taken the lead in soul cultivation, and he can be called the ancestor of his lineage!"
"Well, a prize, a prize~"
"The ancestor personally changed the cloak and tried the method himself, bringing the cloaking technique to a new level in the world of cultivation! This kind of self-sacrifice and dedication without fear of life and death, who can compare with it?"
"Huh? Hahaha, where is it?"
"Ask where the canal can be so clear, only the source of living water can come! The world of cultivation is changing and developing vigorously with each passing day. It is precisely because of pioneers like Ancestor who continue to innovate in soul cultivation and clothing, that they have led the progress of the times. It can be said that The work lies in the future!”
"Oh, okay, okay."
The old man with a deer head on the stage was grinning from ear to ear. His two bear paws rubbed together until sparks shot out. Hearing the constant flattery of countless representatives of forces, it was so exciting!
However, there are also people who fail to open and lift certain pots and poke the ancestor's heart and lung tubes.
"From now on, Xun Gu Sect has leader Lin Dinghai Shenzhen. You and Elder Hei Ku will be your right-hand man, supporting each other and controlling the world together. Why worry about failure to achieve great things?"
As soon as he said this, he expected that Patriarch Lu Que would be smiling, but he didn't expect that the sky would suddenly turn cloudy!
"Which kind of envoy are you, uttering arrogant words in front of my ancestor?"
"Huh???"
The messenger was stunned and didn't know what he said wrongly. He was so frightened that he knelt on the ground. The gift plate he was holding fell down, revealing a corner of the red cloth, which seemed to be a long and precious item.
The faces of Lu Xiuming, Wu Hanqiao and others behind him changed. They knew something was wrong, and they quickly winked at the emcee next to them.
The emcee reported very intelligently:
"Ancestor, this person is the envoy of the Lunan Puppet River Sect, and the congratulatory gift is ten roots of the fourth-level elixir Wild King Mountain Ginseng!"
After hearing the congratulatory gift, Patriarch Lu Que managed to calm down his anger and spared the envoy with a flick of his sleeve.
"Get up! What kind of thing is Hei Ku? He is a scumbag, and he is worthy of being compared with this ancestor? Don't mention this person in front of me in the future. It's bad luck!"
The messenger urinated and ran away, his face turned pale with fright, and he almost thought he had lost his life here.
This Xun Gu Sect is really strange. Apparently the two elders of the Nascent Soul Stage do not hold the Nascent Soul Ceremony together, but have to separate and hold separate events.
Our sect had to send two groups of people to deliver two gifts, so why did we end up with this moody Ancestor Lu Que?
Others secretly laughed, this guy didn't do his homework in advance and just came here to flatter him randomly. Little did they know that Patriarch Lu Que and Elder Heiku never dealt with him. It is said that the former was once imprisoned and tortured by the latter for decades, which can be described as a huge hatred!
If it weren't for the Xun Gu Cult Leader above, they would have started fighting long ago.
Nowadays, mountains usually do not meet each other, and each is active in its own territory.
On the one hand, it is held at Lujiang Academy in Dingshang City, northwest of Shandong Province, and on the other hand, it is held at Xungujiao here, which also means competing with each other.
Therefore, when giving gifts, they must have a bowl of water leveled to avoid being caught.
However, there are also people who come here deliberately for Ancestor Lu Que and are not interested in Elder Hei Ku.
"The Xun family, a family of cultivators in the Central Region, congratulates the ancestor Yuanying and presents the fifth-level soul sacred object Yan Shencao!"
A skinny young man stepped forward and paid homage with a plate in his hand.
Ancestor Lu Que was overjoyed and ordered someone to bring the congratulatory gift. After seeing it, his smile became more intense, and it was obvious that he liked it very much.
I especially liked the young man's pale face and appearance of kidney deficiency.
"I see that you are born with strong spiritual power and insufficient physical essence. You are a piece of jade suitable for soul cultivation. Did someone in your family arrange this trip?"
The young man was polite and thoughtful, and his behavior was quite old-fashioned. He handed over a letter from home.
Ancestor Lu Que took it and looked at it, nodding repeatedly.
"It turns out that it was once a top Confucian family. I have read Mr. Xun Zhenjun's letter, and I have accepted you as a disciple. What is your name?"
"Junior Xun Shu, thank you ancestor for your help!"
The onlookers were whispering to each other and talking secretly.
The Xun family is the top Confucian family in the Central Region. There is also a Nascent Soul True Monarch in the family, but it is not as influential as Confucius and Mencius. Now it has sent disciples to interact with the Xun Gu Sect. It seems to be a sign of this emerging force. Be optimistic.
"It's rare for the Xun family to have such an obvious intention, but I remember Elder Heiku's side. They also sent their direct descendants to pay homage to the disciples and learn the art of weapon refining. Are you planning to hedge your bets?"
< br>
"Well, we are a top-notch rich family, so we naturally have the ability to hedge our bets. We, the small family, should stop jumping around, lest we make our ancestors unhappy."
"It's very, very true."
After the Xun family passed away, the Dong family, the top Confucian family in the Central Region, brought precious elixirs as an apprenticeship ceremony and threw themselves into the lap of Patriarch Lu Que to try the method of soul cultivation.
Others with some wealth also recommended their own suitable seedlings.
Ancestor Lu Que was selective, mainly to recruit those with innate spiritual power, and those with outstanding soul talents. Not everyone was suitable for soul cultivation.
In the end, there were rows of young men standing behind him, all of them looked like young men with kidney deficiency!
The soul is far beyond the essence of the physical body, and it is obvious from the appearance. It is a waste for the golden elixir avenue, but it is a genius for the soul elixir avenue.
"After half a year, according to the leader's wishes, ancestor I will go to Lujiang Academy to teach. Hei Ku will come back to find the ancient sect to take charge. Then you will go with me."
< br>
"I will obey my master's instructions!"
All the disciples agreed.
This scene happened to be seen by Lin Shan, who had just returned from the sky.
He couldn't help but be surprised that Patriarch Lu Que was quite good at recruiting disciples to expand the diplomatic circle of Xun Gu Sect. In the future, through the bridge of ties, many things that could not be done before would be implemented very smoothly again.
This is what it means to make friends all over the world. Regarding this Nascent Soul Ceremony, he did not show up and had no idea.
As for Patriarch Lu Que and Black Skull Demon Lord, they were very poor when they first entered the Nascent Soul stage. It would not be a bad thing to make some money to expand their pockets and increase their influence by the way.
The most important thing is that it can demonstrate the prestige of spreading the Ancient Religion!
As for himself, after the battle between Lu Beibei and Zhong Shenxiu, he has become famous all over the world, so there is no need to hold any Nascent Soul Ceremony. Everyone in the cultivation world of Lu country has already known it.
There is no need to amass wealth. He has killed so many Yuan Yingqi, and he has long been rich. He does not look down on the three melons and two dates of various big and small forces.
What's more, they have already harvested two rounds of ancestors Lu Que and Black Skeleton Demon Lord of the Xun Gu Sect. It would be a bit too much to go out to search for people's fat and people's anointing.
I waited for about three days after coming back.
Patriarch Lu Que's Nascent Soul Ceremony was over, and he returned to his palace with satisfaction. Many senior officials of the Xun Gu Sect had also finished the reception, and it was not easy to come to Lujiang Academy.
Lin Shan immediately summoned Lu Xiuming and others and asked them to take people with him back to the same old place.
Absolutely evil sinkhole!
This place is only three thousand miles away from Wangyue City. When he first arrived in the Lu Kingdom and was still in the foundation building stage, he teamed up with the Black Skeleton Demon Lord to ambush and kill a Jindan Daoist from the Dai family here!
Recalling the crisis-ridden and precarious days, he couldn't help but feel many emotions.
Now I am back again to complete a big project.
‘Refining corpse’.
Ever since he received the inheritance from the Yunxiang Channel of the Corpse Exorcist Sect, he has not been able to restore a fifth-level corpse king.
He couldn't wait any longer to slowly raise the corpse, so he decided to directly follow the secret method of the corpse exorcism sect, refine an entire evil pit, and forcibly cultivate an evil corpse!
If in a demonic country, a pit was either the private property of a top sect or a public resource known to everyone, it would be hard for him to monopolize it by force.
On the side of the righteous path, evil pits are basically of no use. They just sit here and no one cares about them. Just when he eradicated this place, the Confucian sect still regarded him as having infinite merit!
The Xun Gu Sect is now different from what it used to be. Its power is expanding rapidly. It is not a problem for him to guard the Jue Sha Tiankeng and arrange various refining sites.
Moreover, this place belongs to the Lujiang River Basin and is his base camp, so external forces cannot penetrate.
Then he took out the body of Taoist Yuanjin.
This guy was in the late Nascent Soul stage, plus an earth element cultivator, and he was excellent at innate body refinement, so he was just right to be used as a corpse, so he was buried in the center of the sinkhole.
For the next time, Lin Shan let it go and returned to the Xun Gu Sect to practice cultivation, leaving the rest to Lu Xiuming.
Half a year later.
The Black Skull Demon Lord came back, and Patriarch Lu Que rushed to the northwest of Shandong Province to take up his post. The two changed sides!
The Juesha Tiankeng was also completely completed, covering hundreds of miles of evil energy, and slowly narrowed its scope until it disappeared.
This incident later became a legend in the world of cultivation, attracting many experts and scholars to investigate.
The evil corpse was also refined and began to have an ignorant consciousness.
Lin Shan was afraid that it would be led astray in the future, so he simply handed it over to the Nirvana clone, and split a consciousness into it to facilitate control.
After such a long period of catalysis, several of the purgatory molten insects in the Ji Melting Insect Nest have matured. He deprived one of them at will and used the fire of the purgatory demon fire for his own use.
He eliminated the ghost fire from the underworld and rewarded it to Zuo Ning, who came all the way from Chu State's Jiuyao Peak to report the news to him.
"Tell me, what's going on over there."
"Master, it was Hall Master Li who asked me to come."
Li Yuanjie integrated the survivors of the subjugated country with Kun Cult and established an intelligence agency to collect information in the demonic cultivation world. Zuo Ning was placed under him.
From the Qi training stage when he was brought back from the Song Dynasty, he is now at the peak of the late foundation building stage, one step away from the golden elixir stage!
With Lin Shan's current ability and wealth, it is not a small chance that he will be able to help him break through the Golden Core stage. I think this is what Luan Chun meant.
Only by cultivating one's own family members to become Golden Core monks can they gather power more safely.
"Some time ago, with the help of Master Uncle Huang, Aunt Yan also successfully broke through the Nascent Soul stage. With the two of them stationed at Jiuyao Peak, she will be safe. She asked me to come and send a message, saying that they are all there, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being."< br>
Zuo Ning's father is Zuo Zhenren, who served as an elder of the House of Internal Affairs in Yichuan of the Great Song Dynasty. He had an encounter with Yan Yuanchun of Yanchun Tower at that time, and called each other Taoist friends. Therefore, when his son Zuo Ning is called, he can be of the same generation as Luan Chun. .
But everyone is different, when they get to Linshan, they have to be a generation shorter again.
Lin Shan also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and was very pleased. It seemed that Master Huang Xian still had a chance. While he was gone, he could help Yan Yuanchun survive the many tests of the Nascent Soul stage safely. The old couple could once again enjoy their old age. Don't live a happy life.
They reassured Lin Shan in the letter that the foundation would be defended by him and nothing would go wrong. Luan Chun also continued to direct his subordinates to expand, and ordered a large number of subordinates to search for antiques, and also obtained a lot of sacred soul objects. .
"Okay, I understand, you can go back."
Lin Shan sent Zuo Ning away and gave him some treasures that could break through the golden elixir stage. When he returns, Master Huang Xian and Yan Yuanchun will be there to check on him, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Then he took out the summoning flag, and across the way was his territory in the cliff forbidden area, the Ginkgo Demon Cave.
The monkey demons over there were pulled over by him, and then they gave all the soul-related things collected during this period to Demon King Kuihu to maintain the soul of Venerable Kuisang Ancient Tree.
Next, just as he handed over the affairs to the Black Skeleton Demon Lord and prepared to retreat, suddenly a message came from the Central Territory.
Open it and take a look:
It turned out to be a letter from Kong Kai. The boy in it said that he would hold a Nascent Soul Ceremony in the Central Region recently, with the intention of completely overshadowing Zhong Shenxiu.
Lin Shan was specially invited to come and enjoy Zhong Shenxiu’s stinky face together.
The scale of this event was unprecedented. Compared with the one just held by Black Skeleton Demon Lord and Ancestor Lu Que, it pales into insignificance.
Even the Zhong Shen show is said to not necessarily be comparable.
Because Kong Kai returned with a great victory this time, Tianhu started with three bars and zero, which shocked the entire cultivation world as soon as he appeared. In addition, the Confucian family, the Kong family, took the lead, who dared not to give face?
Nowadays, media outlets in the cultivation world have begun to build momentum, saying that Kong Kai is the benchmark for the younger generation of Confucianism, with both civil and military skills, courage and strategy.
Many female nuns have since become fans, leaving Zhong Shenxiu and embracing Kong Kai.
Lin Shan didn't really want to go, so he arranged for the people around him to go there.
However, the Black Skeleton Demon Lord has a hell status, and he is afraid that when he goes to the Confucian sect's headquarters, his true colors will be revealed, which would be terrible.
If other people don't have the cultivation level of Nascent Soul stage, it seems that they don't pay enough attention to the Kong family.
So after thinking about it, he decided to go and have a look in person, and have a thorough encounter with the Confucian sects in the central region of Lu State.
At that time, you will definitely meet many old Confucian people, and you can ask them for advice, and you may gain unexpected gains.
