I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 1825 Discussion
In the meeting hall of Danzong, the atmosphere was tense and heated. A group of elders sat together, arguing with red faces and thick necks. The focus of their discussion was on the issue of sending people to Qingfengyuan.

No one paid attention to Qingfeng Courtyard before, but it is different now. A house is noble because of its owner. Since Liu Jun, the master of alchemy, has moved into Qingfeng Courtyard, Qingfeng Courtyard is a special and good place.

Therefore, being able to study at Qingfeng Academy is a rare opportunity for the disciples of Danzong.

Liu Jun's alchemy skills were superb, and he was friendly. Even a slight instruction was enough to benefit some alchemists. Therefore, all the elders were eager to try the opportunity to go to Qingfeng Courtyard. They all wanted to recommend their disciples to go there, and some even wanted to go there to learn in person. However, this proposal was directly rejected by the Grand Elder Canghai.

The reason why the Grand Elder Canghai rejected this proposal was very simple. These elders were already middle and high-level members of the Dan Sect. Their status and position made them accustomed to being served by others. Asking them to serve others was not only a matter of face, but more importantly, they could not even serve themselves well, so how could they serve others well?
At this time, Master Wu Sheng stood up again and put forward his own suggestion: "Grand Elder, Sect Master, I think that disciples Danxia and Yifa are more familiar with Elder Liu, so we can arrange for them to go over there for a while to serve Elder Liu."

This proposal immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of some elders. One of the elders questioned: "Wu Sheng, you have taken all the good things for yourself, right? Why are you recommending your apprentice again?"

"Because my apprentice is talented and lucky, and luck is also part of strength, she should have the chance to go to Qingfeng Courtyard," said Master Wu Sheng confidently.

"Wu Sheng, are you going too far?" A stern-looking elder stood up, his voice trembling slightly, clearly a reaction of excitement and anxiety. "We don't ask for a share of the pie, even a little soup would be enough to satisfy us. But now you are so stingy as to not even give us this, what's the reason?"

As he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense. The elders exchanged glances with each other, and then simultaneously focused their gazes on Master Wu Sheng. Their eyes flashed with determination and expectation, and it was obvious that they were ready to argue with Master Wu Sheng to the end.

Although Master Wu Sheng had a transcendent status, he was of little use in front of this group of equally prestigious elders.

Chen Shanhe, who was standing aside, had clear and deep eyes, as if he could see into people's hearts. Facing the doubts of the elders, he just stood there quietly, without saying a word, but he had his own majesty and momentum, which made people dare not neglect him easily.

This time, the alchemy master Liu Jun joined, and the elders knew that this was not only an honor for the Dan Sect, but also meant that the Dan Sect would have a qualitative leap in alchemy. The two disciples Danxia and Yifa had already made great contributions to Liu Jun's joining. They were responsible for arranging comfortable accommodation for Liu Jun, which was undoubtedly another great achievement. If they could let Liu Jun personally guide them, the benefits would naturally be too generous, and the other elders would naturally be jealous.

Seeing the debate getting more intense, Jiang Yueyang, the leader of the Dan Sect, finally stood up. His voice was like the gurgling of water, but it carried unquestionable authority. "Okay, okay, there's no need to argue. Let me make the decision on this matter."

Jiang Yueyang's words were like a bombshell, instantly calming the debate in the field.

In fact, everyone knows that this debate is basically a quarrel between the people in the Alchemy Pavilion. After all, although the other elders also covet Liu Jun's guidance, they know that their disciples have no talent for alchemy, so this debate has no substantive meaning to them.

"Why don't we wait for Danxia and Yifa to come back and hear their opinions before the sect leader makes the decision?" Supreme Elder Canghai said slowly.

The question of the Grand Elder Canghai echoed in the meeting hall, causing a small commotion. Everyone looked at each other, confusion and surprise in their eyes.

In a sect, the status of the Grand Elders is unquestionable, and their opinions can often influence the opinions of the sect master, because if the sect master makes a big mistake, the Grand Elders can replace the sect master, but no one can replace the Grand Elders.

But the question asked by Supreme Elder Canghai at this moment was puzzling.

Danxia and Yifa, these two young rising stars, although they are quite capable, they are usually not even qualified to enter the high-level decision-making occasions such as the Council of Elders. The question raised by the Supreme Elder Canghai today undoubtedly broke the convention.

"Grand Elder Canghai, what does this mean?" an elder couldn't help but ask.

They felt that Grand Elder Canghai was favoring Master Wusheng and wanted Danxia and Yifa to go to Qingfeng Courtyard.

"Oh, I just think that Danxia and Yifa have been with Elder Liu for a long time and may know Elder Liu's temper. We might as well listen to their opinions." There was a deep meaning in the words of Supreme Elder Canghai, as if she attached great importance to Liu Jun's problem.

At this time, the door of the meeting hall was gently pushed open, and the footsteps gradually approached. Everyone's eyes were focused on the door, and the figures of Danxia and Yifa gradually appeared in everyone's sight. They had a faint smile on their faces, and a trace of respect flashed in their eyes. After all, they were all their elders here, and they couldn't be too arrogant.

"I'm back." The Great Elder Canghai nodded slightly, his eyes stayed on the two of them for a moment, and then went straight to the point, "How much do you know about Elder Liu Jun?"

Danxia and Yifa looked at each other, they knew that this question was not simple. In their hearts, Elder Liu Jun was a mysterious and unfathomable existence.

Yi Fa replied cautiously: "Elder Liu Jun is very powerful. We have a limited understanding of him, but we can sense his profound strength and background."

"Not only strength, according to Elder Liu, he also has profound attainments in refining equipment, and may even have reached the level of a master of refining equipment. And when he was in Qingfeng Court, Elder Liu threw a few spirit stones and successfully changed the formation layout of Qingfeng Court. So I infer that Elder Liu is likely to have extremely high attainments in formations." Danxia's addition instantly made the entire meeting hall boil. Especially Master Liu of the Refining Hall and Master Gou of the Formation Hall, the two were so excited that they could hardly control themselves. Before this, the two of them had been sitting in their chairs, looking a little drowsy, and were not very interested in a master of alchemy.

The reason was simple. Their disciples were either good at refining weapons or proficient in formations, and none of them had made any achievements in alchemy. Therefore, they did not participate in the competition for the quota to go to Qingfeng Academy.

However, the current situation is obviously different. Elder Liu is not only a master of alchemy, but also has extremely high attainments in the fields of refining equipment and formations. Such an existence is undoubtedly very attractive to the two of them.

The Grand Elder Canghai also stood up suddenly because of Danxia's words, and asked seriously: "Are you two not lying?"

Danxia nodded seriously and replied: "Yes, you can go and see that the formation layout of Qingfeng Court has changed."

This answer made the atmosphere in the meeting hall even more tense and exciting. Everyone was waiting for the next move of the Grand Elder Canghai. If it could really prove that Liu Jun was very good at formations and refining, then this would definitely be a treasure among treasures.

The eyes of the Grand Elder Canghai were full of curiosity. She gently waved her jade-like arm, and an invisible force field wave spread out. Then, a magnificent picture of mountains and rivers gradually appeared in her palm, slowly floating in the air. This scroll was not an ordinary work of art. It was the core of the Dan Sect's important formation, the Qiankun Wuji Formation, and was called the Mountain and River Map.

This mountain and river map shows the distribution of spiritual energy in every building in Danzong in its unique way. Its delicateness can even show the subtle changes in the flow of spiritual energy. This is not only a static picture, but also a dynamic picture that can change in real time and directly show the flow of spiritual energy. It is like a weather forecast map in reality, except that it does not show the weather, but the concentration and flow path of spiritual energy.

The eyes of Grand Elder Canghai and others were fixed on the map of mountains and rivers, looking at the location of Qingfeng Courtyard, where an obvious vortex of spiritual energy appeared. The spiritual energy gathered like flowing water, forming a powerful energy focus.

Although the map of mountains and rivers has always been in the possession of the Supreme Elder Canghai, even if one has not eaten pork, one has seen pigs run. Others can roughly understand the changes in the spiritual energy of Qingfeng Courtyard on the map of mountains and rivers.

Master Gou, the formation master of the Formation Hall, looked at the scene of the mountain and river map in front of him, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, and suggested: "Grand Elder, why don't we test Elder Liu's attainments in formation?"

When Grand Elder Canghai heard this, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes. She was afraid of offending Liu Jun, but thinking about Liu Jun's character, she felt that Liu Jun would not be angry, so she agreed, "Okay, but how do we conduct the test?"

"Simple. This map of mountains and rivers is the core of our Dan Sect's Qiankun Wuji Formation, and this Qiankun Wuji Formation was set up by our Dan Sect's first formation master. You used the map of mountains and rivers to control the Qiankun Wuji Formation to move the spiritual energy of Qingfeng Courtyard away. If he can move the spiritual energy of Qingfeng Courtyard back, even if he is not a formation master, he is at least a formation master."

Although what Master Gou said was complicated, everyone understood it.

To put it bluntly, it was to test Liu Jun with the Qiankun Wuji Formation. If he wanted to restore these spiritual energies, he must have a formation technique that could compete with the Qiankun Wuji Formation. Such technical requirements were undoubtedly a very high test of the formation attainments of the person who set up the formation. Only a true formation master or even a grandmaster could master such a formation technique.

As for the reason why Liu Jun failed to cause a large-scale change in the Qiankun Wuji Formation before, it was because Liu Jun's changes were very small, just like when he was adjusting the flow of spiritual energy in Qingfeng Courtyard, he just gently turned the control valve. This subtle adjustment naturally did not cause a strong reaction in the huge flow of spiritual energy in the Qiankun Wuji Formation.

The scene in Qingfeng Courtyard was undoubtedly a temptation for the elders of the Weapon Refining Hall. Just like when the Grand Master of Alchemy was refining pills, other alchemists would gather around to watch. When the Master of Formation was arranging the formation, it was also an irresistible attraction for other formation masters.

Therefore, the elders of the Equipment Refining Hall couldn't help but want to watch Liu Jun set up the formation.

"Everyone be quiet, I want to see if there is any way to see the scene in Qingfeng Courtyard," the Supreme Elder Canghai scolded.

She naturally wouldn't let these elders go and watch. When Liu Jun saw what they were going to do, he would know what they were going to do.

"There is no way to monitor directly, but we can find someone and have him take the imaging crystal over there," suggested Sect Leader Jiang Yueyang.

After these words were spoken, everyone fell into deep thought. After all, no one was willing to take the risk because it would very likely offend Liu Jun.

At this time, the Wuning Grand Elder, who had been silent and kept sniffing, suddenly stood up and said, "Let me go. I smell an alluring fragrance that seems to be coming from Qingfeng Courtyard."

Grand Elder Canghai frowned slightly, looked at Grand Elder Wuning, and asked in confusion: "Do you smell the fragrance of delicious food again?"

Wu Ning Grand Elder was much older than Cang Hai Grand Elder, but because he loved food, he rarely practiced in seclusion, so he had not yet broken through to the middle stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm. This habit of his also made Cang Hai Grand Elder frown many times. Every time he went into seclusion, he wanted Wu Ning Grand Elder to do the same, but every time Wu Ning Grand Elder could find an excuse to leave and go looking for food.

Supreme Elder Canghai knew very well that Supreme Elder Wuning's love for food had surpassed his dedication to spiritual practice. He didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
