Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Taiyi Tianqing Bamboo.

It is no ordinary immortal spiritual root; its grade is as high as Mahayana, making it a genuine immortal treasure.

Among all the myriad realms, the Taiyi Heavenly Green Bamboo is extremely rare. At least it has never been seen in the Cangwu Realm, Xuanhu Realm, Xuanhuang Realm, Huayang Realm, and Tianyuan Realm, and the Nine Provinces Realm also has no such immortal treasure.

Today, apart from a small patch of Taiyi Heavenly Green Bamboo in the Yaochi Sacred Land of Kunlun Realm, only the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School in the Three Realms Great Thousand Worlds still has a Taiyi Heavenly Green Bamboo Forest.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the second ray of celestial light. Sure enough, as the celestial light faded, a jade-blue, round and clear emerald bamboo appeared.

The green bamboo, with its roots and tender buds, is dotted with dewdrops. Its entire body is crystal clear and radiant with celestial light, exuding wisps of Taoist purity that calms the mind and soothes the spirit.

Beside Fairy Suqin, the Crested Ibis Demon Lord asked with some surprise, "Is this Taiyi Heavenly Green Bamboo very precious?"

Fairy Suqin explained, "It's not very useful to the demon race, but for us Xuanmen true cultivators, it's a treasure we wouldn't trade for anything."

"The Taiyi Heavenly Green Bamboo can draw upon the brilliance of the sun, moon, and stars, gather pure and mysterious energy, and connect the spiritual veins of all directions. Cultivating beside the Taiyi Heavenly Green Bamboo is twice as effective with half the effort!"

"Moreover, the Taiyi Heavenly Green Bamboo is a Mahayana-grade spiritual root. Whether it is for refining magic robes or magic weapons, it has a great blessing on the true cultivators of the Xuanmen. It can even remotely sense the laws of heaven and earth and invoke the might of heaven."

"The most precious thing about this Taiyi Heavenly Green Bamboo is that it is not a mature bamboo, but has roots. As long as it is well cared for and kept alive, it is equivalent to having a small Mahayana Buddhist temple next to you!"

Hearing Fairy Suqin's explanation, the Crested Ibis Demon Lord understood the preciousness of the Taiyi Heavenly Green Bamboo: "So that's how it is! Isn't this comparable to the True Phoenix Wutong of my demon race? Such a precious thing has been brought out by Immortal Lord Xuanjing!"

"Lingyuan is really lucky this time!"

At this moment, not only Fairy Suqin and the Crested Ibis Demon Lord were looking at Jiang Sheng with envy, but even Lord Shaobai Mingjun had burning eyes. If he could take this Taiyi Heavenly Green Bamboo back with him, and Xuan Su Sect could cultivate a small Taiyi Heavenly Green Bamboo forest in the future, it would be of great benefit to the entire sect.

This Taiyi Heavenly Green Bamboo is a truly valuable item for any Xuanmen Immortal Sect or even the Chunyang Daoist Temple.

However, this was not all that Immortal Lord Xuanjing had brought out.

As the Nine Treasures of the Milky Way and the Azure Bamboo of Taiyi Heaven appeared one after another, the appearance of the third Immortal Treasure caused another round of exclamations. Even True Monarch Yuming couldn't help but look at Jiang Sheng, secretly marveling at Jiang Sheng's good fortune.

The Four Seas True Monarch exclaimed in disbelief, "Iron from the Vast Ocean Ruins?!"

Shao Bai Mingjun was stunned for a moment, and said, "Fellow Daoists of the Four Seas, what are you saying that is?!"

The Four Seas True Lord grabbed Shao Bai Mingjun, who was usually calm and detached from worldly affairs. At this moment, he was extremely envious: "That's the Iron from the Vast Ocean Abyss!"

"That is the Vast Ocean Ruins Iron, which can only be born in the deepest and darkest part of the endless ocean eye in the Great Thousand World, in the abyss spiritual veins close to the Land of Return to Nothingness!"

"This is a rare treasure in the field of water magic. If this piece of the Vast Ocean Abyss Iron falls into my hands, it will be enough for me to cultivate all the way to the Mahayana realm!"

As he spoke, the Four Seas True Monarch felt it wasn't enough and added, "Even my Canglang Ancestor would be tempted by this Vast Ocean Abyss Iron!"

Shao Bai Mingjun was shocked: Xuan Jing Xianjun so easily took out something that could move the heart of a Pure Yang cultivator from the side sect who had reached the Dao Realm?!

Unexpectedly, Immortal Lord Xuanjing then took out several more treasures, including the Ten Thousand Fire Spirit Essence that fire magic cultivators had been searching for for thousands of years, the Heavenly Thunder Nine Heavens Iron that thunder magic cultivators could only dream of, the Nine Mist Clear Cloud Jade that wind magic cultivators longed for but could not find, and the Taiyi Immortal Pill Treasure Seal that alchemy cultivators sought after.
Xuanjing Immortal Lord laid out all sorts of celestial treasures and said loudly, "Lingyuan, take whatever you like from these things!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped, and the atmosphere in the hall grew even more heated: these treasures, which are rarely seen even once in ten thousand years in all the heavens and myriad realms, were actually left for Jiang Sheng to choose from?!
What an incredible favor!
Jiang Sheng looked at these treasures one by one, his gaze sweeping over the Heavenly River Nine Treasures Sand, the Taiyi Heavenly Azure Bamboo, the Vast Ocean Abyss Ruins Iron, the Ten Thousand Yuan Fire Spirit Marrow, and the Heavenly Thunder Nine Heavens Iron, but his expression was very calm, showing little surprise.

Jiang Sheng's expression disappointed Xuan Jing Xianjun, who asked, "Ling Yuan, why can't you appreciate these things?"

"Or is there some other reason?"

As everyone's gaze turned to him, Jiang Sheng honestly replied, "Reporting to the Immortal Lord, it's not that these things are unappealing to this disciple, but rather that this disciple is overwhelmed by the choices and doesn't know what to pick."

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, including Immortal Lord Xuanjing.

But as they were laughing, Xuanjing Immortal Lord suddenly waved his hand and said, "Since you're overwhelmed by the choices and don't know what to pick, then take them all!" Take them all?!

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, and no one could laugh anymore. Some of those who were drinking even spat out the fine wine they had just taken a sip of: So many Mahayana Immortal Lords and even Pure Yang Dao Lords would covet this, and it's all being given to Ling Yuan?!
For a moment, pairs of eyes turned to Jiang Sheng, unable to tell whether they were filled with envy or jealousy. Even Yu Ming Zhenjun was somewhat lost in thought, marveling at how Jiang Sheng could be so favored by Xuan Jing Xianjun.

But Immortal Lord Xuanjing shouted, "What? Do you think Lingyuan is unworthy?"

A True Monarch from the Heavenly River Dao Sect couldn't help but say, "Uncle-Master Xuanjing, it's not that we think Lingyuan is unworthy, but with Lingyuan's cultivation and merits, taking one or two items is already a great favor from you, Uncle-Master. Why give him everything?"

As this True Lord spoke, many voices echoed his sentiments, clearly feeling that Jiang Sheng had received too much.

Xuanjing Immortal Lord looked at the nodding and agreeing crowd and snorted coldly: "Hmph! Lingyuan volunteered for the first battle and won three battles in a row, which greatly boosted the morale of my Eastern Heaven Daoist family. What's wrong with me giving him more things?"

"If you are envious, and you also win battle after battle in the upcoming campaign, I will not hesitate to bestow generous rewards upon you!"

At this moment, True Lord Yuming had recovered his clarity of mind after his intense emotions subsided.

Yu Ming Zhenjun, with his keen intellect, immediately understood Xuan Jing Xianjun's intention: such a grand display was not only because Xuan Jing Xianjun liked Jiang Sheng, but also because he specially brought out a precious treasure.

More importantly, Xuanjing Immortal Lord declared to everyone: whoever can make contributions to the Eastern Heaven Dao Family, the Eastern Heaven Dao Family will not hesitate to bestow generous rewards. No matter how precious the treasure is, it is nothing in the eyes of the Eastern Heaven Dao Family.

If a Mahayana Immortal Lord can produce such a precious treasure, what kind of treasure would the Pure Yang Dao Lord of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School bring out if he were to descend to the mortal realm?
As Yu Ming Zhenjun looked up, he saw that even the true disciples from the Xuanmen Holy Lands, such as Xu Yuanzi of the Chixiao Dao Sect and Suqin Fairy of the Yaochi Holy Land, were so envious, not to mention Shao Bai Mingjun, Sihai Zhenjun and others.

Even the demon kings like the Crested Ibis Demon Lord and Kong Zhen couldn't help but get restless, hoping to make contributions in the subsequent battles and obtain treasures. Not to mention the members of the Eastern Heaven Daoist family.

Having figured this out, True Lord Yuming looked at Immortal Lord Xuanjing with a smile on his face, his heart filled with admiration: Jiang Sheng's three victories in three battles had already boosted the morale of the crowd, but this old immortal lord's move not only raised the morale of the crowd to another level, but also showed everyone the foundation of the Tianhe Dao Sect.

It is said that among the Eastern Heavenly Daoist sects, Qinghua and Penglai are the main ones, and Tianhe is the secondary one. However, after 20,000 years of fierce battles in the Tianyuan Realm, Tianhe Daoist sect can still produce such a treasured collection. Who would dare to underestimate Tianhe Daoist sect?!
For a moment, True Lord Yuming was secretly annoyed: he had been blinded by those immortal treasures and hadn't reacted immediately. At the same time, True Lord Yuming was certain that True Lord Yuanyi and the others had definitely reacted.

As expected, when True Lord Yuming glanced quietly at the seats of the Five Tribulation True Lords, he saw that True Lord Yuanyi, True Lord Zhaozhen, True Lord Hongyi, and other Five Tribulation True Lords were calm and composed, either discussing in hushed tones or drinking silently. They had clearly seen through Immortal Lord Xuanjing's intentions immediately.

However, when Yu Ming Zhenjun looked at Jiang Sheng in front of Xuan Jing Xianjun, he saw that Jiang Sheng was also calm and indifferent. Even when he heard that Xuan Jing Xianjun had bestowed all the treasures upon him, he did not show any joy or surprise.

For a moment, True Monarch Yuming realized that he could no longer see Jiang Sheng, a junior of the sect with the character "Ling" in his name: Did Jiang Sheng see it or not, or was he simply dizzy from the overwhelming surprise that had just hit him?

Unbeknownst to True Monarch Yu Ming, Immortal Monarch Xuan Jing was also curiously watching Jiang Sheng. Seeing that Jiang Sheng remained calm, he couldn't help but ask, "Ling Yuan, how can you be so composed?"

"Could it be that you knew all along that I would bring out so many treasures, and that I would give them all to you?"

Jiang Sheng replied, "Immortal Lord, this disciple did not expect that you would bring out so many treasures. However, after the battle formation was set up today and this disciple challenged you to a duel, the Qiankun Dao Sect hastily withdrew, which obviously did not satisfy you, Immortal Lord."

"Therefore, this disciple guesses that the Immortal Lord will also use this disciple as an example to inspire the fighting spirit of all the senior uncles and masters, so that in the future battle, we can defeat the Qiankun Dao Sect in one battle."

"Therefore, this disciple only had some guesses, but did not expect the Immortal Lord to give such a generous reward."

Xuanjing Immortal Lord snorted somewhat displeasedly: "Let's just assume you're telling the truth."

"His natural talent and physique are already extraordinary enough, but he also acts so mature for his age. It's really boring!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng could only feign delight and bowed, saying, "This disciple thanks the Immortal Lord for the reward. In the future, this disciple will always be at the forefront of every battle and will never fail the Immortal Lord's high expectations."

Xuanjing Immortal Lord nodded in satisfaction: "Take these things and go down. I don't know what these things would be like in other people's hands, but in your hands, they will definitely not be wasted."

"In the future, I will be waiting for you to achieve more merits!"

After saying that, amidst the envious gazes of everyone, Jiang Sheng returned to his seat with a pile of treasures.

Looking at the envious glances around him, Jiang Sheng knew that when the battle came again, these comrades would undoubtedly fight desperately to earn merit. (End of Chapter)
