Journey to the head

Flying in the sky was a glittering cloud chariot, the frame was made of purple gold, the walls were carved from white jade, all painted with runes and dotted with jewels of various colors, with layers of light flickering. In particular, a human-head-sized gem on the top of the chariot shone brightly, with tiny runes blooming from the light and then dissipating into the air.

The cloud chariot was pulled by four dragon horses, with dragon heads and scales clanging as they galloped through the air, treading on auspicious clouds, their long dragon whiskers dancing, and clouds of gas spewing out of their nostrils.

Wherever the cloud chariot passed, it drew a colorful cloud in the sky that lasted for a long time. It was so bright and majestic that it filled people with awe and admiration.

Since establishing itself in Mianlong Mountain and controlling Xinbao, Yunshan Sect has been vigorously developing the weapon refining industry with the Tao brothers as the center, and Lu Qian has also learned a lot of knowledge about treasure materials and refining techniques. Therefore, it can be seen at a glance that this Yunchariot is made of many rare materials for making magic weapons. In addition to its luxurious appearance, it also has many magical features.

Each of the dragon horses pulling the chariot was extraordinary and heroic, with spiritual power at the foundation-building stage, and they had already entered the level of demon cultivation, but because of their different bloodlines, they were unable to transform.

Although he had just expressed disdain for Miaomiao Xuanjun, clothes make the man, and now seeing this dragon colt and cloud chariot, he could not help but sigh that the Yuanshen Sect has a profound foundation and is wealthy. Even plucking a leg hair from it would be enough to make the Yunshan Sect envious.

The cloud chariot was supported and sat on the frame by two foundation-building feathered masters who looked straight ahead. One of them pulled the reins lightly, as if to guide the direction, while the other raised his head and chest, his voice resounding through the sky.

"The Xuanwei Sect's envoy received an order from Lord Miaomiao Xuan to commend the Yunshan Sect!"

This was not a slogan he had shouted just now when he arrived at Yunshan Sect, but rather, this feathered scholar had been shouting loudly since he left the gate of Xuanwei Sect and flew on the dragon horse and cloud chariot all the way, announcing it to all directions to show that the Lord of Cangzhou was extremely benevolent and powerful, and that Yunshan Sect was honored and favored by him.

This scene was extraordinary, and it was incredible that this Taoist could pronounce such a long and difficult sentence so smoothly.

Lu Qian gave the order to release the formation, and he and Wang Yu flew up and went forward to greet them. The cloud chariot stopped steadily outside the formation.

Lu Qian bowed and said, "Lu Qian, the head of Yunshan, greets the envoy. I apologize for not welcoming you from afar. Please come in and rest."

However, the envoy in the cloud chariot did not move at all, and the two feathered masters driving the chariot did not move at all, and did not look away. Lu Qianjing waited for a while, and both sides stood in the air, with no intention of moving.

This. Lu Qian had an idea in his mind, but he also found it ridiculous. It was impossible for this envoy to start asking for bribes before even entering the gate, right?

Unable to figure out Xuanwei Sect's tactics, Lu Qian could only smile and say, "The envoy has been exhausted from the journey. Please come in and rest for a while. Our sect has prepared a thank you ceremony."

Seeing that Lu Qian indeed didn't understand the meaning, the foundation-building feathered master who was responsible for announcing to all directions coughed lightly.

"Master Lu, are you bringing a disciple to welcome the envoy?"

Lu Qian immediately understood that this was because he was dissatisfied with the fact that our reception was not grand enough.

He was speechless, but no matter how powerful this envoy was, he represented the Xuanwei Sect, the leader of Cangzhou, and was far from being underestimated by the current Yunshan Sect. If they wanted to play a drama of the master's mighty power and the subjects' gratitude, he could only cooperate.

So Lu Qian said quickly: "It is our small sect that is ignorant of etiquette and neglected. Please wait for a moment, Your Excellency."

He brought Wang Yu back to the mountain and immediately summoned all the elders and key members. All those who were not seriously injured and unable to move were summoned, and they made arrangements in this way and that way.

Jiang Qingfeng smacked his lips when he heard this: "This is a bit too exaggerated."

Lu Qian smiled and said, "Since he wants a grand ceremony, we will give him one. This is nothing. The etiquette reception of ordinary people can be ten times more exaggerated than this. As long as the envoy is satisfied and Master Miaomiao Xuan is satisfied, it will be fine."

At the command, all the disciples on Mianlong Mountain put down their work and made arrangements according to Lu Qian's instructions. For a moment, the Mianlong Mountain was filled with light and mist, and it was very lively.

After an incense stick of time, nine bells rang on Mianlong Mountain, and all around was quiet.

Suddenly, the clouds and mist on the mountain rolled up, and a huge body fifty feet long rose into the air, its dark green scales shining in the sun. It was the Ming Snake Taoist Soldier. Its six wings vibrated, and the red flames passed from its abdomen to its throat, and then it opened its mouth and spit out a blazing flame in the air, exploding into a huge firework that swept across the sky.

After the fireworks were set off, the Five Elements Formation split to the sides, revealing two neatly arranged square formations of disciples. Each formation had a hundred inner disciples wearing the Yunshan disciple uniforms and with silver feathers hanging from their arms.

Lu Qian and Wu Yan were leading a group of foundation-building Taoist priests, standing in front of the square formation and bowing to greet them.

"The head of Yunshan Sect, Lu Qian, leads all the disciples to welcome the angel from the sect!"

As soon as the voice fell, the two inner gate square arrays sparkled with starlight, silver light flowed, and the vast sea of ​​stars was combined. The next moment, the flowing star power condensed in the air, laying a silver-shining light carpet, starting in front of the Dragon Horse Cloud Chariot, extending forward to the front of the Mianlongshan Hall.

As Lu Qian and his disciples were waiting with different thoughts in their minds, the messenger in the cloud chariot finally spoke. It was a soft female voice.

"Good work."

The four dragon horses neighed loudly, pulling the cloud chariot onto the starlight carpet and slowly moving inward. Lu Qian and Wu Yan led the way, while the other foundation builders followed far behind.

At the window of the cloud chariot, a corner of the curtain made of pearls and jade was pulled open. The messenger looked out casually and saw thick fog rising in the mountains. The sky was filled with rosy clouds, and the ice walls were dim in the fog, refracting the sunlight into colorful light, which was very magnificent and dreamy.

Noticing the envoy's actions, Lu Qian said with a smile, "Excuse me, Your Excellency. My sect was just attacked by a powerful enemy, and most of the buildings in the mountains were destroyed and in a dilapidated state. So I had to think of a clever trick and build a hundred elegant walls with ice to cover up the ugliness."

The messenger in the cloud carriage seemed very satisfied and laughed, "Master Lu of Fengya Wall is thoughtful."

The dragon horse and cloud chariot stopped steadily in front of the hall. At this time, the spiritual energy of the spiritual vein of Mianlong Mountain had been attracted by the formation and all drawn into the hall. The spiritual mist was flowing back and forth, cleansing the place, creating a wonderful fairyland scene.

The jade curtain of the cloud chariot was slowly lifted, and the feathered priest driving the chariot announced loudly: "The Xuanwei Sect's envoy, Lingxuan Zhenren, is here to ride in the cloud mountain!"

Lingxuan Zhenren’s golden elixir is perfect!

Lu Qian and the others only saw a flash before their eyes, and a radiant fairy slowly emerged from the cloud chariot.

The first thing that caught people's attention was her gorgeous and exquisite robe embellished with gorgeous jewels. The hem of her skirt was a full ten feet long, and the tassels and embroidery were extremely delicate, and it was faintly glowing with the glow of talismans.

Secondly, her hair was carefully groomed into a very complicated Chaoyun Jinxiang bun, with a hairpin inserted diagonally, which made her look gorgeous, noble and extravagant.

If an ordinary-looking person wore such a robe and tied her hair into such a bun, she would inevitably look vulgar and ostentatious. But this Lingxuan Zhenren had a gorgeous appearance, a naturally noble demeanor, and deep and three-dimensional facial features, which were different from the petite and delicate features of ordinary women. She was a natural match with such gorgeous clothes and ornaments, complementing each other.

A fairy who is particular about pomp and splendor?
Lu Qian took a quick glance and was suddenly stunned.

Wait, above her fair and delicate neck, is...Adam's apple?!
He glanced downwards again and saw that Lingxuan Zhenren's chest was flat without any ups and downs. At this moment, Lu Qian felt as if thunder was rolling through his heart.

This is so scary, a man dressed as a crossdresser!

But no matter what, this is just the personal preference of Lingxuan Zhenren, and it is not the turn of others to comment. Even if we put aside his identity as an envoy of Xuanwei Sect, his perfect golden elixir cultivation alone is enough to make people shut up.

In an instant, Lu Qian had calmed down and walked forward with Wu Yan to greet them.

"Master Lu Qian of Yunshan, I am honored to meet Master Lingxuan."

"Yunshan disciple Wu Yan greets Master Lingxuan." Master Lingxuan nodded slightly, and said in a soft and pleasant voice: "Thank you for your courtesy, fellow Taoists. I am here today on orders, and I am sorry to bother you."

Lu Qian smiled and said, "It is a great honor for our sect to have the presence of the envoy. There is no need to bother you. Please come in and take a rest."

Master Lingxuan stopped being polite and saw the spiritual mist floating around the hall, shining with rainbow light under the sunlight. He was very happy and smiled slightly, then slowly walked into the hall.

She walked gracefully, her skirt fluttered, and her posture was elegant and graceful, but she was a man.
Putting these messy thoughts aside, Lu Qian led the way. The style of the Mianlongshan Hall was originally grand, but there were not many details. Now that Lingxuan Zhenren had arrived at the door, Lu Qian knew his preferences, and he couldn't change them for a while. He could only wrap the pillars and beams with colorful fairy silk and slightly decorate them.

Fortunately, Master Lingxuan did not find fault and continued to move forward, only pausing briefly in front of the main seat.

This main seat was used by Lu Qian before, it was just taller, wider and plainer. Seeing him frown slightly, Lu Qian was about to explain, but the two foundation-building masters who followed him were already running quickly, shaking their hands, and a snow-white fox fur that shone with soft white light stretched out and covered the seat neatly.

Only then did Master Lingxuan sit down and nodded to Lu Qian.

Lu Qian's heart twitched, but he still had a smile on his face as he sat down with the others. Except for Lu Qian and Wu Yan, all the Yunshan foundation builders were waiting outside the hall.

Presenting the top-grade spiritual tea bought from the Plum Blossom Shop, Ling Xuan Zhenren nodded slightly and took a sip gracefully. The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before he slowly said, "Master Lu, I am here this time mainly to express my appreciation and consolation to the Supreme Master Miao Miao Xuan on behalf of my sect."

Lu Qianlian said he dared not, and Ling Xuan Zhenren said solemnly: "There is an oral order from Xuan Jun."

Lu Qian quickly stood up with Wu Yan, pretending to listen attentively.

"I am glad to hear that the head of Yunshan, Lu Qian, and his disciple, Wu Yan, passed the tribulation on the same day and achieved the golden elixir, adding another beauty to our state. In one day, the master and the disciple both achieved the status of a real person. This is a wonderful story."

"There is also a Yuanying Qiming Lingjun from another state who has no knowledge of etiquette, no idea of ​​when to advance or retreat, and invades without permission. His crime is the greatest. Fortunately, Master Lu Qian and his disciples are brave and fearless, and they led a group of heroes to kill him, making him famous overseas and inspiring people."

"In the past, we achieved the golden elixir together, and in the future, we killed the Yuanying together. Externally, we promoted the power of Cangzhou, and internally, we eliminated the evil and relieved my worries."

"All these are great achievements and should be rewarded to inspire people and help the people. The people of Wangyun Mountain are united as one, Master Lu Qian and his disciples, serve with all their heart and soul, keep working hard and make new contributions to Cangzhou. This is the decree!"

Lu Qian bowed respectfully and said, "It is my duty to share the worries of Lord Xuan, and I do not deserve such praise. Lord Xuan has ordered me to obey your orders forever."

Zhenren Lingxuan took out another piece of colorful paper from his sleeve and floated it in front of Lu Qian.

"Master Lu, this is a reward from Lord Xuan."

Lu Qian took the colored paper and, due to etiquette, only glanced at it quickly, with just the right amount of excitement on his face.

"Thank you, Lord Xuan, for your gift. Although I am not very talented, I will work hard to repay you for your kindness in cultivating me!"

However, his mind was as clear as a mirror and he already knew what Miaomiao Xuanjun meant.

This is the compensation, or hush money, that Miaomiao Xuanjun and Xuanwei Sect gave to Lu Qian and Yunshan Sect.

The grand publicity of the commendation along the way, coupled with the generous rewards, are all telling Lu Qian that even if you have suffered great grievances, you must swallow them all now, and never complain in the future, and work hard for Cangzhou and Xuanwei Sect.

This decree has defined Qiming Lingjun as an "invader", and his death was his own fault. Yunshan Sect acted on behalf of Xuanwei Sect and killed him, so they deserve the reward. As for the faction's failure to fulfill its responsibilities as the Lord of Cangzhou and not coming forward to stop Qiming Lingjun, sorry, it never happened.

Miaomiao Xuanjun is still the wise leader, and Xuanwei Sect is still the co-leader of Cangzhou. Lu Qian and Yunshan Sect should continue to maintain their position and do their best for Cangzhou.

After conveying Xuan Jun's order, Master Ling Xuan relaxed a little and smiled gently.

"I see that Master Lu has wise behavior and elegant conversation. He is definitely not a vulgar person who is fond of tyranny and romance. I would like to get to know him. I have a few private words to discuss. Is it convenient?"

Lu Qian's mind moved, and he ordered Wu Yan to leave the hall first, and Ling Xuan Zhenren also sent out two attendants to build the foundation. The door closed, and the magic circle rose, leaving only Lu Qian and Ling Xuan Zhenren in the hall.

"I wonder if the real person has any advice?"

Master Lingxuan narrowed his almond-shaped eyes slightly.

"Now, I would like to ask a question on behalf of our master, Qiancheng Lingjun, and our Wild Fox Zen. Wu Yan, is she really a natural spiritual root?"

Lu Qian pondered for a moment, then nodded.

Ling Xuan Zhenren smiled: "Master Lu, you don't know that when our sect was arguing over whether to stop Qiming Lingjun, my master insisted on helping. That's why Miao Miao Xuanjun sent me here to reward and comfort him this time."

Lu Qian's mind raced, and he said in a deep voice, "Thank you very much for your care, Lord Qiancheng. How can I be of any use to you?"

Ling Xuan Zhenren covered his face with his sleeves, smiling with his eyebrows curved: "Master Lu, you are originally from another state, and we are on the same path as "Wild Fox Zen", so I am just speaking up for you. My master admires you and Yunshan Sect very much, and this time he just wants to make friends with us, there is no other intention."

"Master Lu is so heroic, his spiritual power is magnificent, and he has the power to surround and kill the Spirit Lord. It's really admirable. As the saying goes, a good horse deserves a good saddle, and a sword is given to a hero. I see that Master Lu is running away, but he still doesn't have a suitable vehicle."

"The secret treasure, the Dragon Horse Stepping on Clouds and Flowing Clouds Chariot, should be given to Sect Leader Lu."

"In addition, my master, Qiancheng Lingjun, is a famous master of formations in several states. I heard that Master Lu is also quite famous in the art of formations. If you have time, why not discuss it with each other."

Half an hour later, the door opened and Lingxuan, a beautiful lady like a peach or plum, walked out arm in arm with Lu Qian.

After declining Lu Qian's invitation, the two exchanged a few pleasantries. Ling Xuan nodded and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Sect Leader Lu. I will definitely be there to congratulate you."

As he spoke, he waved his long sleeves, and a beam of rainbow light escaped from it, transforming into a colorful boat. Lu Qian and the others saw him off for a while, and Master Lingxuan bowed and said goodbye, then floated away on the rainbow boat.

Wu Yan, who had been holding back for a long time, finally let out a long sigh of relief. She was busy treating the wounded, but was suddenly summoned by Lu Qian. She thought it was something very important, but it turned out that the whole sect had to accompany this ostentatious envoy. Naturally, she felt irritated and puzzled.

"Master, she is only at the Golden Core level. With Yunshan's current strength and status, we can just treat her with respect. Is it necessary to put on such a show of flattery?"

Lu Qian looked at the secret treasure, the Cloud-Stepping Chariot, which was quietly parked at the entrance of the main hall. The four dragon horses were breathing out clouds in a somewhat uneasy manner. The chariot was also loaded with rewards from the Xuanwei Sect.

"Xiaoyan, and everyone else." Lu Qian turned to everyone, "You all should remember that words and gestures are just the least valuable and easiest things to do. But in many cases, they can bring us rewards that we cannot get even with blood and sweat."

Everyone was thoughtful, and Lin Le was even more admiring. Suddenly, he felt something moving in his arms, and after checking it, he quickly reported it.

"Master, this is a message from the Spirit Beast Sect. Yuanxu Lingjun is coming in person to congratulate you!" (End of this chapter)
