Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 643 On Taoism

Chen Mu was also ambiguous about this, but he still held the attitude of "it is better to believe it than not to believe it".

Since Beiyuan was so eager about this, he would just try his best...

"Hahaha……"

"I was wondering who it was, it turns out the Taoist friends from Yuanqing Sect have arrived."

Just as everyone was looking at the incense and bronze tripod, a beam of light came from the distant palace and pavilions. It was an old man in a golden robe with a brilliant look.

Luo Zhen smiled and said loudly, "Fellow Daoist Qin, it's been a long time!"

The golden-robed elder landed and said with a smile, "I didn't expect your sect to send Fellow Daoist Luo. It seems that your Yuanqing sect will be showing off its prowess at this sword fighting event."

Seeing him complimenting him, Luo Zhen shook his head and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Qin, please don't say that. My Zhongzhou sects are full of talented people. I am only here to guard the 'Second Incense Stick'..."

The golden-robed old man's eyes flickered when he heard this, but he stopped talking and instead looked at Ducheng, praising him: "Could this be the Daoist Fellow Ducheng that everyone has been talking about? He is truly a splendid person, truly worthy of his reputation!"

Dudu smiled slightly and bowed, "Greetings, Elder Qin."

The old man in the golden robe nodded with a smile, and finally turned to Chen Mu and his group, sighing: "Fellow Daoist Beiyuan rose to the challenge, Qin has admired him for a long time..."

Although Sun Zhiyan didn't recognize the person in front of him, he still bowed and said, "You are too polite, fellow Taoist."

Luo Zhen then smiled and introduced: "Fellow Daoist Qin is the elder of Qingxu Immortal Mansion."

"Qingxu Immortal Mansion?"

Chen Mu and others were secretly moved, as they had never heard of the name of this sect.

Taoist Xuanji stroked his beard and smiled, "Qingxu Immortal Mansion is not among my twenty-seven meridians. It has always lived in seclusion. Not many disciples have come out into the world. It is not surprising that you are not very familiar with it."

Luo Zhen added, "Qingxu Immortal Mansion is not much inferior to our Yuanqing Sect in terms of strength, but its founder is an alien from outer space, so he established an ancestral precept not to compete with the Taoist sects of this world for luck. Therefore, he has never participated in the incense burning dispute and was selected by our ancestors as the judge of the sword duel..."

"I see……"

Chen Mu and the others nodded suddenly, and thought of the words "judgment" in their minds.

Judging from his attitude towards them just now, it should be considered good news that he is the one making the decision...

At this time, the old man in the golden robe waved his hand and said with a smile: "Now the twenty-seven branches have reached eight families. Would you like to follow me to have some tea or two, or..."

Luo Zhen replied, "Fellow Daoist Beiyuan is still here, so we should go to Yuanqing Palace first."

After saying this, he led everyone to say goodbye to the old man in the golden robe, and then turned and headed to the north of the Taoist temple.

There were palaces, pavilions and towers standing in a continuous line, all decorated in the sky-blue color favored by the Yuan and Qing schools. It was obviously their place of residence.

The Yuanqing Sect is not the only one to have this honor. All twenty-seven sects in Central Continent have palaces above this dojo, and this is also one of their special honors...

Soon after the group entered the hall, a disciple outside the sect announced, "The seniors from Chunyang Heaven, Lianhua Sect, and Luoshui Chu Clan have arrived."

Luo Zhen's eyes lit up and he immediately stood up to wait.

Seeing this, Chen Mu and others also stood up and waited silently.

Not long after, five people came over one after another.

The three leading cultivators were extremely powerful, with spiritual energy accompanying their every move. They were none other than the cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage selected by the three sects.

The two people behind were much younger. One wore a red shirt with a resolute look, and the other wore a black robe with a high crown on his head, and had a cold temperament.

The two together feel rather awkward.

"Brother Luo!"

The three in front nodded and smiled at Luo Zhen, then walked together to reminisce about the past, and soon Sun Zhiyan was also included in the group. The two behind greeted Taoist Xuanji and headed straight for the temple.

Dudu smiled slightly and introduced the two of them to Chen Mu. After some greetings, they sat down.

The red-shirted man was named Yang Cheng. His personality was as outspoken as his name. After exchanging glances with the Chu man, he was the first to speak, "Brother Cheng is right. Xian Jianchi has sent the natural swordsman, Li Jianyi!"

"Oh?"

Although the extent of this was anticipated, after confirming it, he couldn't help but frown: "If it's really him, then it's really troublesome..."

Li Jianyi is of the same generation as them. After practicing Taoism for more than a hundred years, he has become a rare sword infant. His killing ability is considered to be the best in this generation in Zhongzhou.

The Chu family man took over the conversation and sighed, "It's more than just trouble. This person's swordsmanship is superb, and he uses a top-notch killing sword. He has condensed his sword and is unstoppable. Not to mention us, even Brother Xuanji is probably no match for him."

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned, especially Taoist Xuanji, who cursed in his heart, wondering how he was dragged into this.

However, despite the scolding, he was well aware that the Chu family had some flaws in their temperament due to problems with their own martial arts, so he didn't take it to heart.

Yang Cheng shook his head and smiled, quickly speaking to ease the atmosphere, "I guess it's because Xian Jianchi lost so badly last time that he sent Li Jianyi this time, intending to compete with us for the title of Sword Master."

At the last sword fighting event, the three sword cultivators sent by Xian Jianchi, who was ranked among the top three among the twenty-seven sects, all failed to take first place, so they had to give the "first incense stick" to Longxiangshan.

How could the normally aloof and proud sword cultivators accept this defeat? That's why they devoted all their efforts to training Li Jianyi, determined to surpass all the other sects and claim the top spot in Central Continent...

"Humph!"

The Chu man spoke again, snorting coldly, "Number one? How could it be so easy to get it?"

He paused briefly, then began to analyze, "Tao Xianxu of the Black and White Taoist Palace cultivated the essence of Yin and Yang through the Taoist technique of 'Black Sky and White Earth'.

Yaoguang Fairy, who lives in the secluded cave, has taken away all the glory in the world with her 'Sihua' Taoist magic!
There is also Wei Mingde from Longxiang Mountain, whose strength has reached the fourth level. As long as his qi and blood are continuous, his great power will have no end.

And Brother Cheng... I won’t talk about Brother Cheng anymore.

A thousand years ago, the above-mentioned people would have been extremely talented and could have overwhelmed their peers, but now that they are from the same generation, it is a pity..."

The corner of his eye twitched, and he had a deeper understanding of the Chu family's social customs...

Yang Cheng held his forehead with his hand, gave a wry smile, and hurriedly said to his friend, "Brother Chu just told me that Brother Cheng is extremely talented. Not only has he formed an eighth-level Nascent Soul, but he also masters three Taoist techniques. Even if he's not as good as Tao Xianxu and the others, he's still the top figure among our generation..."

The Chu man frowned and asked in confusion, "When did I tell you that?"

……

Everyone was silent for a moment, and finally, Dudu shook his head and smiled, changing the subject: "Everyone, which sect do you think will win this sword fight? Let me offer you the 'first incense stick'?"

When talking about the first incense stick, we have to talk about the rules of the Zhongzhou Sword Fighting Festival.

When fighting for incense, there is nothing special. Whoever wants to compete will choose a suitable opponent from the twenty-seven meridians, and the battle will continue until one side is defeated and the incense is finally won.

After the ownership of the incense is determined, the exciting moment of the sword fighting event begins.

At that time, the people from each sect will be divided into three groups according to their cultivation level. The top person in each group will be qualified to offer the "first incense stick" for his own sect.

The first incense...is of great significance. It not only symbolizes that one's own sect is the best in the world, but also allows one to share more fortune.

Just this one statement aroused the yearning of all the twenty-seven clans in Central Continent, and they devoted a lot of their energy to it.

Isn’t this the case with Xian Jianchi? After years of offering “first incense sticks”, he failed last time and could only be ranked in the second batch.

After a hundred years of painstaking effort and meticulous cultivation, a natural born swordsman was finally born...
