Journey to the head

The secret method of cultivating the Pure Glass Body and the corresponding seventy-seven kinds of treasures from heaven and earth can enable cultivators to obtain the Glass Body of Yuanying Lingjun in advance, which is free from dust and dirt, and the speed of cultivation will increase by 50% from then on!

Even with the financial resources and network of connections of the Yunshan Sect, it took several decades, and it was not until Lu Qian joined the Wanling Immortal Grass Society that another pair was made, which shows how precious it is.

Everyone desires this elixir, but the backbone members of Yunshan Sect each have their own strengths, so it is a difficult question who will use it.

In addition to Gu Nishang, Jiang Qingfeng and Lu Qian himself who already have mysterious body meridians, Wang Yu who is half human and half corpse, Wu Yan who has natural spiritual roots, Lin Le and Li Da who have already enjoyed the blessed land of Tianxin Lotus Pond of Qinglian Zhenzong, and Jiang Baitao who voluntarily gave up, in theory, other disciples are qualified to compete.

Therefore, Lu Qian also made it clear at the time that it would take several years to observe, and whoever made outstanding contributions in the end would get this elixir.

As soon as the headmaster said this, everyone worked hard and showed their enthusiasm, hoping to be the best. Even the disciples who knew they had no hope, in this positive and enterprising atmosphere, worked much more efficiently than before.

Finally, the competition for the "Pure Glass Body" is coming to an end.

The top two are Wang Ruoyu and Xiao Tianci.

The Yunshan Sect’s Council of Elders held a serious discussion on who to give the elixir to.

In terms of loyalty and character, both of them have no problems.

In terms of reputation, both of them are very famous fifth-generation disciples. Wang Ruoyu is resolute, hardworking, honest and simple, and his Jin Yuan secret method is brilliant and dazzling; Xiao Tianci is cold and stern, arrogant but not arrogant, and his sword energy is amazing.

The two men each have their own crowd and are equally matched.

In terms of merit, Xiao Tianci is good at military exploits, has made numerous contributions on the battlefield, and has also actively participated in sect missions in recent years.

Wang Ruoyu was slightly behind in military merit, but he made great contributions to the affairs of the sect. He was the deacon of the Public Security Department, assisting the deputy director Hao Qiuguang in handling official affairs, stabilizing the territory, arresting bandits, and eliminating evil cultivators. He had many merits and hard work, surpassing Xiao Tianci in this respect.

Finally, the Council of Elders made a careful comparison and determined the final result. The one who received the "Pure Glass Body" elixir was -

Xiao Tianci.

Because he had one outstanding achievement that made up for his shortcomings, and he eventually defeated Wang Ruoyu with a slight advantage.

That is to organize and pass down the Yunshan Sword Art.

Although he was not a top-class disciple and had no qualifications to accept disciples, with Lu Qian's support, he spent his free time sorting out the theory of kendo.

With his natural talent, Xiao Tianci integrated the experience taught by Cangfeng Zhenren after a hundred years of cultivation into his own understanding of swordsmanship. With this as the foundation, he took the "Four Residual Stars Dark Shining Divine Sword True Secret" as the basis, and then slowly integrated other exquisite sword scriptures in the Yunshan School's collection, and sorted out and created the Yunshan Swordsmanship!
This alone is a huge achievement in establishing a school of thought and laying the foundation for the Taoist orthodoxy!
He also selected talented disciples from among the sect, gave them careful guidance, and introduced them to the door of "sword cultivation."

Up to now, there are more than twenty sword practitioners specializing in swordsmanship in Yunshan Sect.

It can be said that Xiao Tianci single-handedly created the Yunshan swordsmanship lineage.

Of course, this tradition has just started, and everything is very immature and rough.

But I believe that as Xiao Tianci's cultivation level increases and his practice deepens, he will be able to continuously improve and carry forward the sword-wielding tradition.

The Council of Elders announced the final decision and detailed the various qualifications and achievements of the contenders, and the disciples were convinced.

Xiao Tianci, with excitement in his heart, tightly grasped the constantly shaking Canghong, kowtowed to Lu Qian in thanks, took the elixir and went into seclusion to practice.

Once he cultivates the "Pure Glass Body", his cultivation will surely be able to reach a higher level.

In August, the Linglu Sect's Dancheng Ceremony was held, and Sect Leader Zhuang Hui hosted a banquet for the guests at Jinxia Peak.

This was the Dancheng Ceremony that the Linglu Sect had been preparing for for a full six months. It was extremely grand, and the specifications in all aspects had reached the limit of what the Linglu Sect could achieve.

Lu Qian went to congratulate him personally, and all the partners of Yunshan Sect and the leaders of subordinate sects gathered to congratulate Zhuang Hui on his achievement of the golden elixir.

Several factions of the Chongming Alliance also sent envoys to attend the ceremony.

The envoy from the Mingyu Sword Sect who came to congratulate was also a Jindan Zhenren, who was newly promoted to Jindan Wudang Zhenren a few years ago.

His understanding of swordsmanship is different from that of Zang Feng and Haoran. Zang Feng's sword energy is invisible and he is kind and lively, Haoran's aura is powerful and upright, while Wu Dang's is sharp and full of determination.

From this perspective, the sword arts of the Mingyu Sword School are indeed flourishing and have many desirable aspects.

When the Taoist Wu Dang saw the grand ceremony, he was very envious.

The Mingyu Sword Sect has a vast territory, a dense population, and many subordinate sects. Of course, there have been some who have completed their foundation building and advanced to the next level over the years, but unfortunately they have all failed.

But then again, even if it succeeds, the subordinate sects will choose independence without hesitation.

However, Linglu Sect chose to continue to be the "partner sect" of Yunshan Sect, which is really a rare thing. This shows the superb means of Yunshan Sect in controlling its subordinates and the strong cohesion of its subordinate sects.

At the ceremony, Zhuang Hui announced his Taoist name.

"Xuan Zhuan".

From then on, among the Cangzhou Golden Elixir, there was a figure named Xuanzhuan Zhenren Zhuang Hui.

In September, news came that the Danxia sect had negotiated a truce with the enemy Yuanying sect Xingyuan Palace.

The Danxia Sect eventually held on to several key sacred mountains outside Bailu County, and relying on these mountains, they established a reliable defense system to keep the enemy out and firmly occupy Bailu County.

Finally, with the mediation of Ningzhou Yuanshen Sect, Danxia Sect and Xingyuan Palace temporarily stopped fighting, and the war that had lasted for more than two years came to an end.

But everyone can see that neither the Danxia Sect nor the Xingyuan Palace will give up. The truce now is just a chance for both parties to take a breather, and the next battle will be even more brutal.

At this point, the Danxia Sect finally had the time and conditions to organize Chiyu Lingjun's funeral.

Lu Qian led the crowd to attend the funeral, looked at the face in the ice coffin again, and bid farewell to this elder.

The faint blue sun was still hanging on the branches of the ancient tree in the courtyard, and Gu Nishang had not woken up yet.

Lu Qian stared for a long time and sighed softly.

Perhaps it is a good thing for Gu Nishang that she does not have to recall the pain of losing her loved ones.

After leaving Danxia Sect, Lu Qian also went to Liubo Mountain in Bailu County, visited the Ao family which was under construction, and put forward some suggestions for the development of the Ao family.

In December, deep winter, the ground is covered with snow.

But on the Mianlong Mountain, a bright red ocean rose up, which was so eye-catching and dazzling in the silver sky and earth.

Golden embroidered images of dragons and phoenixes hung all over the mountain path, winding all the way into the main hall.

The 48 pillars of the Mianlongshan Hall were tightly wrapped with bright red brocade, one side was embroidered with a hundred blessings, and the other side was embroidered with a hundred joys. The flaming red lanterns were hung high, and the different shapes of the word "囍" made every Yunshan disciple extremely happy.

This is Lin Le and Wu Yan’s wedding!

The two Yunshan elders, the recognized pillars of Yunshan, the golden boy and the jade girl, are finally getting married!
After tens of thousands of years of development, the meaning of becoming a Taoist couple has changed from that in ancient times, and finally became a prerequisite for marriage. However, the marriage ceremony and the Taoist couple ceremony are completely different.

The Taoist couple ceremony inherits ancient rites and is very solemn and dignified. Both parties need to bathe, fast, purify their hearts and relax their spirits respectively. After seven full days, they worship heaven and earth and chant Taoist scriptures to complete the whole ceremony.

Marriage is more like a secular celebration, and the emphasis is on joy and excitement. However, there are not so many red tape, not only are there no betrothal gifts, asking for the name, asking for the marriage, asking for the date, even the wedding ceremony is gone. Now the hero and heroine are standing under the ninety-nine cloud steps of the main hall, waiting to go up to the hall to worship and complete the ceremony.

Now the layers of cloud steps have been covered with thick red carpets. The disciples of Yunshan are crowded on both sides of the road, holding various auspicious objects such as ruyi, precious beads, lanterns, and precious fans. They dance impatiently to welcome the two newlyweds and chat with each other happily. The place is bustling and lively.

Inside the hall, seated on both sides were the leaders and envoys of various sects who were invited to attend the wedding. They almost filled up the originally empty hall, and the attendants who came with them could only go to the side hall to enjoy the banquet.

The marriage of Lin Le and Wu Yan is a major and happy event for the Yunshan Sect. Lu Qian waved his hand and sent out wedding invitations. The four gates of Cangzhou, the Chongming Alliance, the nine northwestern counties, the partners and subordinates of the Yunshan Sect, as well as the Cangzhou Jindan sects and Jindan independent cultivators that are on good terms with the Yunshan Sect were all invited.

In addition to the Sikong family, Xuanwei Sect, Lingshou Sect, and Qinglian Zhenzong all sent Jindan Zhenren as envoys to congratulate. Chongming Alliance and Qingyuan County Jindan all came. Liyuan Sect Cangjing explained that he was in seclusion and sent a foundation-building master as an envoy. As for the partners and subordinate sects, naturally, the leaders came, and most of the friendly Jindan sects and Jindan independent cultivators also came.

The house was filled with distinguished guests, and the gifts piled up like a mountain. The Yunshan Sect also presented valuable gifts in return. The coming and going of the guests made the relationship seem closer and closer.

At this moment, everyone sat down. Those around them were either acquaintances or had heard of each other's names. They greeted each other and chatted. The topic naturally started with today's male and female protagonists.

"The Wanfa Zhenren who has gained fame in recent years actually has five spiritual roots. When I first heard about it, I couldn't believe it at all."

"I feel the same way. Who would have thought that a pseudo-spiritual root that is difficult to reach the late stage of Qi training could actually achieve the Golden Core? This is truly unprecedented in the past ten thousand years."

"Otherwise, how can we say that the Yunshan Sect has a keen eye for talent and is good at nurturing talent? I don't know how Tianyuanzi went through so much trouble to push him into the Golden Core Realm, and Wanfa Zhenren has never let him down. Not only does he have mysterious magical powers that are rare in the world, he is also a master at managing the sect, and can be regarded as Tianyuanzi's right-hand man."

"The world is so mysterious. Yunshan Sect has both Fairy Kongmeng with natural spiritual roots and Wanfa Zhenren with false spiritual roots. Moreover, they have a happy marriage and are married. How wonderful!"

"Fairy Kong Meng is now in the late stage of the Golden Core. She will complete the Golden Core in a few decades. This will put a lot of pressure on Master Wanfa."

"Hahahaha, what fellow Daoist said is very true. When Fairy Kong Meng achieves Nascent Soul in the future, her cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds. This couple of them is a perfect match where the woman is strong and the man is weak. It will be difficult for Master Wanfa to maintain the dominance of the husband."

Amidst a burst of good-natured laughter, the sound of bells from the top of Mianlong Mountain echoed!
Jiang Baitao, as the master of ceremonies, loudly announced the start of the ceremony.

The disciples around them cheered and shouted loudly. In the sky, the plump, round jade dragon and four dragon pigs scattered large swathes of colorful spiritual powder, which rose and burned in the air like fireworks.

Amid the brilliant lights and noisy cheers, Lin Le, in a wedding gown with a dragon pattern, and Wu Yan, in a phoenix coronet and bridal veil, smiled at each other.

At this moment, the two seemed to have returned to eighty years ago.

In the alley that was as dark as a spider web and where no light could be seen, in front of a dilapidated wooden house filled with debris.

That thin boy and that poor girl.

But in the blink of an eye.

The young boy turned into a man of extraordinary bearing, maturity and elegance.

The girl turned into an ethereal, pure, poetic and picturesque fairy.

Brother Le, I will protect you for thousands of years.

Sister Yan, I will accompany you through all the mountains and rivers.

They just stared at each other quietly. For a moment, everything in the world had disappeared, and only each other was left in their eyes.

Until Jiang Baitao's voice rang in their ears: "Okay, have you seen enough? You can look at it as you like when we enter the bridal chamber. Hurry up and climb the stairs, the guests are waiting."

The disciples of Yunshan started to make a noise, and the two newlyweds blushed, feeling both happy and shy. They quickly held up a hydrangea inlaid with the word "囍" and stepped onto the cloud steps and walked up.

With the blessings of the disciples on both sides, Lin Le and Wu Yan arrived at the entrance of the main hall, where an incense table had been set up.

“Worship Heaven and Earth!”

The two of them lit incense, and under the guidance of Jiang Baitao, they respectfully worshipped heaven and earth, and then continued to walk towards the main hall.

Inside the hall, distinguished guests gathered, but at the top of the hall, there were three seats placed side by side in a very strange way.

Lu Qian and Jiang Qingfeng sat on the left and right, leaving the middle seat to an old lady with a smiling face and silver hair.

Lin Le felt a warm current surge in his heart, his vision blurred, and he couldn't help but shout, "Mom!"

The old woman wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and waved to him.

When Lu Qian and Jiang Qingfeng helped Lin's mother out and sat her in the main seat, the guests were surprised for a moment, and then learned the identity of this mortal old lady through word of mouth.

The Jindan present had long been separated from their loved ones in the mortal world, and when they saw this scene, they were all filled with emotion and envy.

It turns out that Wanfa Zhenren's biological mother is still alive. The old lady can witness her child's marriage with her own eyes. It is such a happy thing for Wanfa Zhenren to let his mother see him get married and start a family.

Previously, Lin's mother had been unwilling to sit at the head of the table with Lu Qian and Jiang Qingfeng, let alone the main seat in the center. But Lu Qian became serious and even said that if Lin's mother refused, the wedding would not be held.

Lin's mother had no choice but to give in with tears. Lu Qian also used a small magic trick, so that Lin's mother could only see Lin Le and Wu Yan in front of her, and the many guests on both sides were blurry.

Otherwise, with the Golden Elixir seat full, Mother Lin's old and mortal body would probably be too nervous to withstand such pressure.

Lin Le and Wu Yan slowly walked through the guests and came in front of their mother and two teachers. Both of them had tears in their eyes and could not control themselves.

"Kneel down and pay homage to the elders!"

The newlyweds kowtowed heavily, and Lu Qian and Jiang Qingfeng looked at each other, filled with satisfaction.

"It's done!"

From today on, in front of the elders and witnessed by the guests, Lin Le and Wu Yan become husband and wife.

No matter it is stormy, thundering, or blooming, the two will face it together and never leave each other.

Mother Lin stood up tremblingly, walked down from her seat, and helped the two of them up. She touched Lin Le's cheek and held Wu Yan's hands tightly.

"Mom!" Wu Yan called out crisply, with a slight blush on her face.

"Okay, okay, you two can get married and support each other in the future, and I can close my eyes now."

"Mom, what are you talking about!" Lin Le felt very sad as he looked at the deep wrinkles that seemed to appear on his mother's face overnight.

Mother Lin wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "I was confused. I was talking nonsense on such a happy day. I am tired. You should entertain the guests well. I am going to rest now."

After seeing off Lin's mother, the distinguished guests in the hall stood up one after another, surrounded the newlyweds, and congratulated them profusely.

Lin Le and Wu Yan thanked him repeatedly, and the scene was extremely lively.

At this moment, a dark blue line of fire cut through the sky and reached the sky above Mianlong Mountain.

"wedding?"

"Lu Qian. Getting married?!"

With a loud rumble, a dark blue sun rose above the sky! (End of this chapter)
