Journey to the head

In the banquet hall of the reception building, melodious and beautiful flute sounds were heard.

Then came the accompaniment of the seven-stringed harp, chimes, three-stringed sanxian, dongxiao, bamboo zither, etc., which sounded soft and distant.

Lu Qian and Wudi Taoist took their seats as host and guest, and their disciples stood by their side, quietly enjoying the music.

Taoist Wu Di closed his eyes and beat the rhythm silently, as if he was infatuated and had devoted his whole body and soul to it.

When Lu Qian first came to this world, he thought that the spiritual life of the monks must be boring. This idea changed dramatically after he investigated Plum Blossom House. Later, as his power grew and he was completely integrated into it, he realized that his previous ideas were ridiculous.

The happiness of a monk is simply beyond the imagination of mortals.

Let’s take the most common and widespread “watching dance” as an example.

Dancing alone is divided into two major categories: music dance and war dance.

There are many types of music and dance, such as Yuyi, Huxuan, Pangu, Qingshang, Jinghong, Changxiu, etc.; there are many types of war dance, such as sword and halberd, flowing clouds, fierce beasts, wilderness, sacrifice, etc.

In addition, there are special dances such as the Hehuan, Samadhi, and Tantric dances that make the young monks linger and their waists and knees weak.

There are thousands of songs in various categories, and each song is matched with different dance costumes. Even for the same song, different dancers will have different arrangements.

I can’t finish it, I can’t finish it at all.

Even if you don't dance very well, it will be very pleasant and satisfying to see a group of beautiful dancers being affectionate and doing everything they can to please you.

What Lu Qian and Wudi Taoist are enjoying now is pure "joy".

Taoist Wudi is an ascetic monk with noble sentiments. It seems that his only interest and hobby is "listening to music".

Therefore, Lu Qian paid attention to it and spent a long time buying music scores in the market and hiring famous orchestras to rehearse and perform.

At the beginning, it was indeed to please the audience, but after a while, Lu Qian also liked this form of entertainment. When the music started, he felt relaxed all over, and his tense spirit gradually relaxed.

One piece and one piece of relaxation, the way of civility and martial arts.

After the song was over, the lingering sound lingered in the air. Taoist Wudi savored it for a long time and sighed, "It is melodious and clear, graceful and soaring, yet also has a low, solemn, majestic and magnificent harmony. It seems like entering the magnificent scenery of the fairy palace, which makes people yearn for it very much."

Lu Qian clapped his hands and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Wudi is indeed a great connoisseur. The name of this new piece of music is "Journey to the Heavenly Palace."

"Journey to the Heavenly Palace..." Taoist Wudi nodded, "Thank you, Master Lu, for your hospitality."

Lu Qian smiled in response: "Not at all. If the music is too high to be appreciated by the masses, it will inevitably be lonely. I have to thank you, Taoist Wudi. I have also been inspired by you."

Next, the two chatted about Taoism and exchanged some experiences. The Yunshan disciples standing by were in high spirits, knowing that this was a rare opportunity, comparable to the Xuanyin Miaofa Conference held once every five years. Even if they encountered something they didn't understand at all, they could just memorize it first.

"Although you are alone, you may think it is good." Lu Qian said, "You don't have anything to worry about, so you don't have many worries. You are free and easy, peaceful and natural."

Different from other independent cultivators who would accept a few disciples, Wudi Taoist was completely alone. He did not have a single disciple, and the only servants on Xiankong Mountain were all mortals.

"Besides, you have a noble character, you keep yourself clean and you don't fall into the mundane world. This time you have finally perfected your golden elixir. I think as long as you work hard and polish it for thirty or forty years, you can save both your life and your soul, and break the elixir into an infant."

"In this way, my Cangzhou has produced a wandering spiritual master, which is also a good story."

Lu Qian's wish made Wudi Taoist sigh: "Thank you for your kind words, Master Lu, but family members know their own business. Let's not talk about independent cultivators overcoming the tribulation. They have limited resources and no help. Without the many magical pills and rare treasures of the wealthy sects, it is already very difficult."

"For example, I myself... I always have heart disease, and it's really hard to get over it."

After saying that, both of them fell into a brief silence.

Taoist Wu Di was in a gloomy mood, thinking about the great calamity that he would have to overcome. It was very likely that he would turn into a handful of earth in a few decades, and would never be able to prove the mysterious way of heaven again, see the magnificent scenery, or hear the beautiful music. How could he not be sad?

But if I were to ask Lu Qian for help, it would destroy the current gentlemanly friendship. Besides, how could I repay him as I am just a casual cultivator?

However, Lu Qian could roughly guess what was bothering Taoist Wu Di.

It is a heart disease as well as a physical disease.

During the battle for the innate spiritual energy, Lu Qian was unable to stop for a moment, and the power of the five-colored divine light spread out, shattering the gray robe that Wudi Taoist used to cover himself, revealing a terrifying face.

It was a face covered with scars and cut into pieces.

Therefore, Taoist Wudi always hides his face and never shows his true appearance to others.

Even at banquets, Wudi Taoist never took off the covering on his face, so he never ate or drank, and even didn't drink tea when chatting about everything.

After discovering this, Lu Qian no longer invited Taoist Wudi to banquets, and when he discussed Taoism, he would only light a censer of incense, without serving any spiritual tea.

Think about it, if it was an ordinary physical injury, with the power of the golden elixir and the magic of the elixir, there is absolutely no reason why it cannot be healed.

It seems that this is an injury of the same level as physical disability, or there are other difficulties, which require the use of a precious treasure like the Creation Fire Pill.

Taoist Wudi participated in the battle for innate spiritual energy, and perhaps he had thought about relying on his own abilities to obtain spiritual rewards and solve his own problems.

It’s a pity that I didn’t have good teammates and failed.

But if he didn't take the initiative to ask, Lu Qian would not offer to help.

As the head of Yunshan, he must ensure that the sect's investment can get the greatest return.

Even in your personal relationships, you have to follow this principle.

After a moment of silence, Lu Qian started discussing the current situation in Cangzhou again, and Taoist Wudi breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s just that Taoist Wudi lived in seclusion in Xiankong Mountain and didn’t know much about the affairs of the outside world. Most of the time, it was Lu Qian who talked and he listened quietly.

After the "No Conquest Order" of Taiyi Paradise and the "Cease-of-War Order" of Xuanwei Sect were issued, Cangzhou entered a period of peaceful development. Not only did the Yunshan Sect's strength grow rapidly, but all the sects and schools recovered quickly.

In terms of the growth rate of foundation building and golden elixir, it is absolutely the first compared with the surrounding provinces. If it can maintain this trend, it will surpass Qingzhou in strength within three hundred years.

Therefore, I heard recently that Qingzhou's Si Nan Xuan Jun has frequently convened meetings of major sects, also hoping to reach a similar "stop-war order."

But unfortunately, Qingzhou has not experienced so much devastation. The various Yuanying and Jindan sects still maintain a strong independence. There are also some frictions between some border sects and neighboring provincial governments, which are difficult to coordinate.

If we integrate them to invade Cangzhou and make a fortune, it will be good for both of us. But now Cangzhou cannot be attacked, and it is difficult to say whether we can ask them not to conquer each other and grow stronger.

Even if you, Lord Si Nan Xuan, have the power of the primordial spirit, it has been a rule since ancient times that I, the golden elixir, govern the county and have independent authority.

In short, there is great resistance and the road ahead is long.

This is a great benefit for Cangzhou.

Not to mention that the four sects in Cangzhou frequently had good news about people building their foundations, overcoming heavenly tribulations, and achieving golden elixir, so that the elixir-making ceremony was only held within the sect and the neighbors were no longer invited.

Just take the ten northwestern counties of Cangzhou as an example. Apart from the confined Mo Yunsou, the Fenglei Gang in Beichu County has also gained a new golden elixir.

Qingyuan County also gained a new Golden Core, and now there are three Golden Cores in total. The disabled Golden Core who had experienced the war between the two states is about to achieve Golden Core perfection.

Li Yuanzong of Sanshan County has experienced two people who failed in foundation building and the tribulation is approaching for the third person who has completed the foundation building.

The Mingyu Sword Sect has a new Jindan Wudang Zhenren. The Linglu Sect's Zhuang Hui is about to face a heavenly tribulation, and Jiyang Mountain Villa also has a foundation-building master who is waiting for the heavenly tribulation.

After chatting about everything under the sun, it was already late at night. I also enjoyed a few new songs with Wudi Zhenren, and then we both took a break.

Silent all night.

The next morning, the three Shenzhou ships took off into the sky again and headed straight for Mount Xiyi.

But this time there is an additional Taoist priest on the flagship.

But he was soon attracted by the scene of the Jade Dragon Fairy directing four fat ladies to beat drums and blow trumpets, and he couldn't help laughing after watching for a while.

Finally, he couldn't help but say, "Fellow Daoist Yu Jiao, I see that your four subordinates always make mistakes in reading the words, or is it easier to remember by singing than by reading?"

Singing?

The Jade Dragon Fairy suddenly imagined in her mind the scene where as soon as she appeared on the stage, flowers fell from the sky, golden lotuses emerged from the ground, and four female fairies played musical instruments and sang war songs on both sides. She jumped up suddenly.

"Great, great! When I become the Jade Dragon Immortal one day, I will definitely take care of you!"

At the hour of You, Lu Qian saw Mount Xiyi on the horizon.

What a beautiful Lingjun mountain range. Stretching for nearly a thousand miles, the peaks stand tall, each with its own unique characteristics. The surging spiritual energy rises up, covering the entire mountain range, emitting colorful rays of light in the sunset halo, looming and sometimes disappearing.

Monks from the Xuanwei Sect had already come ten miles ahead to greet them, led by two Jindan disciples. Hundreds of disciples formed a battle formation, with spiritual flowers swirling and dancing and fireworks rising.

The Infant Formation Ceremony is scheduled for tomorrow at noon. Like Yunshan, many sects have arrived the night before. Now, many sects have stationed themselves on the outskirts of Xiyi Mountain.

But for ordinary Jindan sects, they were just stationed in the camp under the guidance of Xuanwei sect cultivators. How could they see the majestic power of Xuanwei sect Jindan that could reach ten miles away?

Seeing such a scene, he couldn't help but ask around: "Which of the three families is this coming from?"

The cultivator beside him analyzed confidently, "The cultivators of the Spirit Beast Sect must ride spirit beasts. The Sikong family must have the Red Fort Thunder Boat when attending important occasions. Judging from this, it should be the Qinglian True Sect."

Everyone nodded, feeling that it made perfect sense.

The three Lingxu Zhenyuan divine ships finally arrived near the mountain gate. The colorful flags on the divine ships were swirling and fluttering. As soon as everyone could see the words on them, they heard the Xuanwei sect cultivators loudly calling out their names: "The governor of the nine northwestern counties of Cangzhou, the head of the Yunshan sect, Tianyuanzi, and the head of Lu Qianlu has come to congratulate us!"

All the schools and sects were stunned for a moment, and then they suddenly realized.

It turned out to be him! It turned out to be the Yunshan Sect!
No wonder, they actually forgot about the Yunshan Sect, the newly emerged little tyrant in the Northwest in the past thirty years!

It turns out that in the eyes of Xuanwei Sect, the status of Yunshan Sect is comparable to that of Lingshou Sect, Sikong Family and Qinglian Zhenzong.

By the way, I heard that Yunshan School has recently become the fifth shareholder of Meihuafang!

The Plum Blossom House is the forbidden territory of the Four Sects, and the fact that they allowed the Yunshan Sect to get involved is enough to show that the Yunshan Sect has become an existence with a special status, completely different from ordinary Jindan sects.

At that moment, all the sects that had established relations with the Yunshan Sect were extremely grateful, while Jindan, who was too aloof and did not understand the situation clearly, asked around, and the name of the Yunshan Sect spread again on Xiyi Mountain.

The three Shenzhous passed directly through these outer camps and slowly landed in front of the mountain gate of Xuanwei Sect.

The mountain gate of Xuanwei School is also very mysterious and majestic. It looks like a scroll hanging from the sky, radiating rays of light, and is a hundred feet high.

On both sides of the scroll hang large characters with a clear glow.

"The blessed land of immortality".

"The evergreen Xuanwei Mountain Gate for ten thousand years."

When Lu Qian and his party got off the Shenzhou, they saw light surging in the scroll and the pattern rippling like water waves.

The gate of Xuanwei Mountain is opened.

A flower-paved avenue extended from the mountain gate and stretched straight in front of Lu Qian.

The flowers are in full bloom, so beautiful that it is hard to take one’s breath away; the colorful butterflies are flying around, and the fragrance is intoxicating.

Deep in the blooming flowers, there was an extremely gorgeous beauty, holding up her gorgeous and exquisite skirt decorated with magnificent jewels, and smiling at Lu Qian. In an instant, the world lost its color.

"Master Lu, you are here."

Her voice was so soft, her temperament was so noble, her deep and three-dimensional facial features complemented her luxurious clothes. Even though Lu Qian was used to seeing beauties, he couldn't help but be distracted for a moment.

Especially since her body was emitting a Nascent Soul spiritual pressure that was extremely expressive and dynamic, it was hard for her not to attract everyone's attention.

Xuanwei sect, Lingxuan Lingjun!

The protagonist of this Infant Becoming Ceremony personally welcomed Lu Qian at the mountain gate!
Even though Lu Qian was prepared, he was still flattered for a moment.

He quickly bowed and said, "Lu Qian greets Lord Lingxuan. How dare I trouble Lord Lingxuan to wait? It's really embarrassing for me."

A faint light flashed before his eyes, and the flowers trembled slightly. Lingxuan Lingjun had already come in front of Lu Qian, and her slender hands tightly grasped Lu Qian's arm.

"Master Lu, what are you talking about? We are close to each other. Even my master is indebted to you."

“Besides, other people may not understand, but I know that it is only natural for you, the Great Master Lu, to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. How dare I act so arrogantly in front of you?”

There were gusts of fragrant wind and soft body movements. At this moment, Lu Qian secretly sighed in his heart that everything was beautiful.

But Lingxuan happened to be a man.

He laughed and pulled Lu Qian forward.

Lu Qian had to struggle to stop, facing Ling Xuan Ling Jun's puzzled gaze, and turned to introduce: "Wait a minute, Ling Jun, this time I came here with a friend. Please allow me to introduce you, this is Wudi Taoist from Xiankong Mountain."

Although Taoist Wudi does not flatter the powerful, he naturally has to pay homage to the Yuanying of Xuanwei Sect.

Ling Xuan Ling Jun had heard of his name, but when he saw him covered in gray, with his head and face wrapped, which was very different from the elegant style, he felt a little unhappy. However, for Lu Qian's sake, he nodded coldly and said, "Since you are a friend of Master Lu, come to the banquet together."

Taoist Wudi could hear the alienation in his tone, and he felt mixed emotions in his heart. He sighed secretly, "It is difficult for a country bumpkin to be accepted into such a prestigious place. I'd better rest here and go up the mountain to congratulate you tomorrow."

Ling Xuan Ling Jun did not force it: "That's fine too."

He called the two Jindan Zhenren on his left and right, and took Wudi Taoist and other accompanying monks of Yunshan Sect to the camp inside the mountain gate to rest, and set a banquet for them. He only took Lu Qian, Yu Jiao and Li Da into the mountain.

As he walked, he explained with a smile: "The Spirit Beast Sect, the Qinglian True Sect, and the Sikong Family will not arrive until tomorrow, and Yuanxu Spirit Lord, Lianyi Spirit Lord, and Kaixuan Spirit Lord will also come, and Miaomiao Xuan Lord will greet and entertain them."

"Master Lu, please accompany me for a few drinks tonight, and then we can sleep together. Isn't it fun?"

Lu Qian blinked his eyes, carefully considering whether to sleep on the same bed with this great beauty, when suddenly a Jindan rushed in, looking embarrassed and terrified.

Ling Xuan Ling Jun cursed: "You are so flustered, how can you be so unbecoming!"

The golden elixir prostrated himself on the ground, his voice trembling: "Ling Jun, our 'Wild Fox Zen' has encountered a big incident!" (End of this chapter)
