Journey to the head

On the third day after the ban on religion in Cangzhou, the story of rebellion, massacre, salvation, Taiyi Paradise and the Sixth Heavenly Lord spread throughout Cangzhou, to the surrounding prefectures, and spread in all directions at an alarming speed.

After all, there were tens of thousands of monks from other states who witnessed this horrific incident and survived.

And as Taiyi Paradise issued an edict to Yuheng Continent, designating Cangzhou as an "unconquered state" for three hundred years, it further confirmed from an authoritative perspective the story that had already shocked more than a dozen states.

As this story spread, there was also a name that could not be ignored in any version.

The head of Yunshan Sect, Tianyuanzi Lu Qian.

With his mere Golden Core cultivation, he saved tens of thousands of cultivators including Miaomiao Xuanjun, and made an impassioned speech in front of the inspector of Taiyi Paradise, exposing the conspiracy of the Sixth Heavenly Lord and saving the place where the Cangzhou sect depended for survival.

Because of this amazing achievement, he was invited into the fairyland of Taiyi Paradise and rewarded.

Finally, he was appointed as the Northwest Pacification Envoy of Cangzhou by Miaomiao Xuanjun, and was granted the two counties of Huaiyou and Junle, and was the commander-in-chief of the military affairs of the nine northwestern counties of Cangzhou, with the right to launch external expeditions.

This is a fantastic story and an epic feat that will make anyone who puts themselves in the shoes of others tremble with excitement.

There is only one person in history who has accomplished this feat with a golden elixir body.

Of course, there are also many people who scoff at this story and completely cannot understand why such an outrageous rumor that even fools would not believe would spread.

The protagonist of the story does not care about what the outside world is saying. No matter what this great fame will bring him, whether it is well-intentioned praise or malicious peeping, it is not something he has time to consider at the moment.

In the conference room inside the small courtyard of the head of Mianlong Mountain, Lu Qian was sitting cross-legged, listening to Xiao Tianci's report.

After Lu Qian and Chiyu Zhenren returned to Mianlong Mountain, the entire Yunshan Sect was in an uproar. In just two days, their leader had written another legend, which made the disciples extremely excited, proud, and worshipful.

However, there were too many important matters to be dealt with at the moment, so Lu Qian only had time to say hello to his disciples before returning to the master's courtyard.

Not long after, Wang Yu and Jiang Qingfeng also rushed over. Seeing that Lu Qian was indeed unharmed as the message said, they completely relaxed. Just as they started, a disciple reported that Xiao Tianci had returned from Mingjian Mountain and was now seeking an audience with the head of the sect.

So Lu Qian invited him in, and was slightly surprised the moment he saw him.

Xiao Tianci is different from before.

In the past, Xiao Tianci practiced the Luohou Fierce Sword. He was extremely sharp, and his spiritual pressure was filled with violent and unruly sword intent. The cold aura lingered around his body, leaving a deep impression on people at first sight.

But now, he has changed. Although his face is still cold and stern, his spiritual pressure has become restrained, quiet, and low-key, without that violent feeling.

Is this Hidden Sword?

Keep the sword in the sheath and wait for the right time to strike. This is the sword art of Cang Feng Zhenren.

Xiao Tianci saluted Lu Qian, Wang Yu, and Jiang Qingfeng. During his actions, there was a faint and sharp sword intent spreading around. It seemed that he had just comprehended the essence of hiding the sword and absorbing the evil, and was still not very proficient.

His face was filled with sorrow, and he said in deep sorrow, "Master, our teacher has passed away."

Teacher? Because Xiao Tianci is a disciple of Yunshan, he cannot truly worship Master Cangfeng as his master, but since he has practiced his swordsmanship, he is naturally his successor.

It is natural to call you teacher.

Lu Qian remained silent and sighed softly.

Three days have passed, and Master Zang Feng has died and disappeared, and from then on he only exists in memory.

After a while, he raised his head and said, "Master Cang Feng, do you have anything else to say to me before you leave?"

The dead are gone, and their legacy can only be carried on by us, the living.

At the time of our final farewell, Master Zang Feng asked me to go and see the pinnacle of the world on his behalf. I will naturally work hard towards this goal and constantly push myself forward.

Xiao Tianci shook his head and said, "I have nothing to say to you. It's just that at that time, Master Haoran asked how to deal with the affairs of Huaiyou and Dongping counties. The teacher said that everything is up to you to arrange, and he just needs to wait quietly."

Lu Qian smiled bitterly. No requirements are the highest requirement. Master Cang Feng is playing the emotional card.

When Master Zang Feng attacked the two counties, he must have thought that because his actions violated the ban, he would definitely not be able to occupy the land of the two counties.

So he simply created a bloody massacre. Since he couldn't occupy them, he made sure that these two counties would not pose any threat to him for thousands of years.

But now, the Xuanwei Sect has handed over the governance of the two counties to himself, so how to deal with the two counties has become a troublesome problem.

Lu Qian asked a few more questions, and Xiao Tianci said, "The teacher did not teach me any sword styles, but instead imparted his understanding of the sword to me."

Lu Qian nodded. Of course, the sword style is the crystallization of the Mingyu Sword School's inheritance and cannot be passed on to outsiders, but his own swordsmanship is the result of a lifetime of refinement. Master Cangfeng has admired Xiao Tianci very much since a long time ago, so it is not surprising that he is passing it on to him now.

In other words, Master Zang Feng entrusted his own path to Xiao Tianci.

Looking at Xiao Tianci's sad face, Lu Qian sighed.

Don't worry. As long as the Yunshan Sect exists, the Mingyu Sword Sect's tradition will never be cut off.

For Cangzhou, along with the results of the investigation into the ban on religion, there was also a notice of rewards and punishments for the incident.

The one who received the greatest reward was naturally the newly appointed Northwest Pacification Envoy Lu Qian, but other cultivators who had fought hard in the Zi Nie Sky Curtain also received generous rewards, and those sects whose cultivators had died in this battle also received unusually generous compensation.

In other words, the Xuanwei Sect took advantage of this opportunity of reward and relief to distribute large amounts of supplies to support the recovery of various sects in Cangzhou.

Of course, this is just the first step. Xuanwei Sect will adopt various measures in the future to stimulate the scale of cultivators and the overall strength of the state to recover faster.

In addition, although the battle for innate spiritual energy was interrupted, the match was not invalidated. The Xuanwei School insisted on completing the match and planned to advance the remaining matches through private competitions.

The competition had originally entered the counterattack stage before the quarter-finals, and the top four teams were the Xuanwei School, the Lingshou Sect, the Sikong Family, and the Chongming Alliance.

The match that was interrupted by the riot of the Ban Cult was the resurrection match between the Chongming Alliance and the Ban Cult, and the winner would get a place in the top four.

Although the Chongming Alliance gave up the game, banning religion had already become a rebellion, so naturally the Chongming Alliance won.

According to the original plan, there were two counterattack matches, one between the Huaiyou Alliance team and an ordinary Jindan team. However, these two teams are now in pieces and have no possibility of playing.

Therefore, the top four in the battle for innate spiritual energy have been completely determined, namely the Xuanwei School, the Lingshou Sect, the Sikong Family and the Chongming Alliance!
Miaomiao Xuanjun asked Lu Qian for his opinion, and Lu Qian gave up the game. It was enough for Chongming Alliance to keep its position in the top four. It would be difficult to win no matter which side they faced.

After one night, the Xuanwei Sect announced the results of the battle for innate spiritual energy.

The champion is the Lingshou Sect, the runner-up is the Sikong Family, and the third place is the Xuanwei Sect.

Outsiders might speculate that this result was due to Xuanwei Sect's humility. But in fact, it was because the Sikong Clan advanced directly in the first round, and the Lingshou Sect won the match against Xuanwei Sect.

Then in the finals, the Spirit Beast Sect defeated the Sikong Family again, and finally won the championship and won the innate spiritual energy. The Xuanwei Sect immediately sent the prizes prepared in advance to each sect.

The reward for the fourth place in the Chongming Alliance is that Lu Qian, Master Zang Feng, and Gu Nishang can each get a Fortune Fire Pill, and then choose one from the top-grade magic weapon embryo and secret treasure.

The Creation Fire Pill that Lu Qian obtained was just enough to make up for the one he gave to Kan Yuanzi.

In addition, the Yunshan Sect already had enough magical weapon embryos, so Lu Qian chose a secret treasure, the Earth Dragon Shuttle.

This is a very interesting secret treasure, similar to the Stepping Clouds and Flowing Clouds Chariot. It also consumes spirit crystals when used, but the Stepping Clouds and Flowing Clouds Chariot flies at high speed, while this one travels underground at high speed.

It is slower than the Tayun Liuxia Chariot and can carry fewer people than the Liuxia Chariot, at most four people, but it is more convenient to escape from enemy pursuit.

Gu Nishang also chose a secret treasure, the Soul Shield, which is a secret treasure that can protect against attacks on the soul.

After she made her choice, she glared at Lu Qian fiercely and waved her fist in protest. It seemed that she had regained a lot of confidence.

Lu Qian ignored her. After sending away the envoy from Xuanwei Sect, he turned around and continued to organize the meeting.

At the Yunshan Sect's elders' meeting, Wang Yu, Jiang Qingfeng, Gu Nishang, Wu Yan, Zheng Duan, Lin Le, and Li Da were able to attend as exceptions.

What we are discussing now is how to distribute and use the innate elixir that can directly improve cultivation.

There are only five such precious elixirs.

Lu Qian only planned to take two of them.

Because a simple calculation shows that in order to reach the state of being able to withstand the calamity, if Lu Qian directly takes three pills, in order to overcome the poison, it will take at least 10+20+40, a total of seventy years.

But according to Lu Qian's talent, pure glass body and the resources he can enjoy, he can spend about twenty years to advance to the middle stage of Golden Elixir, and then practice for about another twenty years, and then he can take two elixirs to reach the state of being able to cope with disasters.

In this way, the time required is still 40+10+20, a total of seventy years, but it saves one innate elixir!
Anyway, given the current situation in Cangzhou, Lu Qian is not in a hurry to improve his cultivation. Saving an innate elixir means that one more person can grow.

In this way, Lu Qian only needs two elixirs, and there are three left to be divided.

How should it be distributed to maximize the value of the elixir?

You know, if it is distributed to the foundation-building cultivator, such a precious innate elixir is enough to directly promote a cultivator who is about to or has just entered the middle stage of foundation-building to the perfection of foundation-building!

As long as they can survive the heavenly tribulation, the Yunshan Sect will immediately gain a new Jindan Zhenren!
The current foundation building members of Yunshan Sect are:

In the middle stage of foundation building, Wang Yu, Jiang Qingfeng, Xiao Tianci, Tao Boliang, Zheng Duan, and Ding Shu.

In the early stage of foundation building, there were Xu Yingcai, Hao Qiuguang, Tao Zhongxian, Jiang Baitao, Su Yan, Li Da, Wang Ruoyu, Cui Linglong, and Lin Le.

As soon as the discussion began, Wang Yu calmly stated that he had a special physique and was unable to take the elixir, so he would not participate in the distribution.

Lu Qian sighed in his heart, knowing that this innate elixir was extremely poisonous to Wang Yu's corpse body, and there was no way he could take it.

I can only compensate more in other aspects. For example, in terms of secret treasures, except for the Wuduo Yanyue Sword, I will pick some others for Senior Brother Wang to use.

The next to voluntarily give up were Wu Yan and Lin Le.

Wu Yan has a natural spiritual root. With her amazing speed, it will only take her more than 70 years to cultivate to the perfection of the golden elixir, which is only a few years later than Lu Qian who takes drugs.

Lin Leze and Wu Yan are at two extremes. Since he successfully built his foundation, his cultivation has completely stagnated, and he can hardly make any further progress by relying on his own practice.

With his cultivation level just starting out in the foundation-building stage, unless he was given two innate elixirs directly, it would be a waste if he couldn't reach perfection in the foundation-building stage.

And with his personality, how could he allow such "waste" to happen to him?

None of the other elders were overwhelmed by such temptation. They were able to calmly think about the distribution method from the overall perspective of the Yunshan Sect, and they pushed each other and recommended others.

This made Lu Qian feel warm in his heart.

After an incense stick of time, the Yunshan Sect's Council of Elders finally reached an agreement on the distribution of the first two innate elixirs.

One will be taken by Gu Nishang.

But not now.

Gu Nishang has been in the middle stage of the Golden Core for several years now, but although she has the Golden Crow bloodline, she is not as fast as the Pure Glazed Body in cultivation. According to her cultivation talent, if everything goes well, she needs to cultivate for another fifty years to reach the late stage of the Golden Core, and then cultivate for another thirty years after the late stage of the Golden Core, and then take an innate elixir to reach the state of responding to disasters.

So it is 50+30+10, a total of ninety years.

Twenty years later than Lu Qian.

Therefore, in this way, if the ancestors really bless us, everything can go smoothly according to the plan, and the order of Yunshan Sect's infant formation will be Lu Qian, Wu Yan, and Gu Nishang.

At this moment, the Jade Dragon sneezed and woke up from the pool. It looked around blankly. The sky and the earth were vast, everything was quiet, and there was no one around. Suddenly, a feeling of sadness came over it.

Me. Why do I feel abandoned?
The second pill will be taken by Jiang Qingfeng.

After Wang Yu gave up, she was the most senior person present and also the elder who re-established the Yunshan Sect.

Yu Gong, as the elder of Yunshan Sect, took on the three duties of internal affairs, management and rewarding at the most difficult and embarrassing time, and managed the Yunshan Sect in an orderly manner. He was the hero behind the booming development of Yunshan.

Personally, she and Lu Qian have been together for decades and have been integrated into each other's lives. If Lu Qian had to choose someone he trusted the most from the sect, he would not think of anyone other than his senior sister.

If Lu Qian is a ship that cuts through waves and fights against heaven and earth, then there is no doubt that Senior Sister is his harbor.

So, although Jiang Qingfeng repeatedly declined, he still got the second elixir with everyone's unanimous consent.

She can take the elixir now and complete her foundation building in one go!

The best case scenario is to use ten years to eliminate the poison and then survive the heavenly tribulation. However, the heavenly tribulation is not in our control, and we can't predict when it will come. We should prepare for the worst case scenario.

Therefore, Senior Sister must hone her skills from now on and make full preparations to deal with the heavenly calamity.

As for the last innate elixir, there was a lot of debate among the people and Lu Qian found it difficult to make a decision.

Not only can it be taken by those in the middle stage of foundation building, but also those who have cultivated to the middle stage of foundation building in the early stage of foundation building can directly take the elixir to advance to perfection without having to wait too long. Therefore, all foundation building practitioners of Yunshan Sect should be taken into consideration.

In this case, there are indeed many outstanding people among the foundation-building masters, and it is difficult to make a choice.

Who is it for? (End of this chapter)
