The atmosphere at the Lingxiao General Office in Qingzhou was solemn.

Inside the hall, a group of Lingxiao personnel waited early, each with a solemn expression in their hearts.

The Lingyuan Ancient Sect has existed for ten thousand years, and even though it has been in seclusion for a long time, its status remains extraordinary.

As the group entered the main hall, everyone from Lingxiao stood up, their eyes filled with respect.

This time, Ye Li and Lin Xiaoman stood on either side.

The person in charge of this matter was a high-ranking member of Lingxiao, a protector-level figure named Cang Laodao, who came all the way from the capital.

A leader slowly walked out from in front of the Lingyuan Ancient Sect.

The young man was handsome and refined, with an upright posture and clear, elegant features, like a noble young master untouched by worldly affairs.

"Not bad, this young man has a good temperament and is quite handsome."

Lin Xiaoman muttered softly.

Ye Li's forehead creased with annoyance. "Don't even think about him. I've looked into it. His name is Su Yanhan. He's had a Daoist partner three years ago and is the Holy Maiden of the Lingyuan Ancient Sect."

"I didn't look at him, I just gave him a compliment."

Lin Xiaoman turned her head and clicked her tongue.

"After meeting you, sir, I feel I will be alone for the rest of my life."

Ye Li asked, puzzled, "Why?"

"So handsome! His carefree and otherworldly aura is just too captivating."

Lin Xiaoman's eyes began to light up. "This guy's looks and temperament are at most one-tenth of Mr. [the man's name]'s, and he even has a bit of a effeminate feel to him. I don't like that."

Upon closer inspection, one can see that Su Yanhan's face lacks color, his breathing is long but slightly unsteady, and a faint, cold aura surrounds him, as if he has suffered great exhaustion and is physically weak.

Ye Li was speechless.

This woman actually started commenting.

What exactly is it that Lin Xiaoman's soul can fully awaken? Having lived two lives, she is still so childish, with her love for soap operas ingrained in her bones.

Just as the two were talking in hushed tones, Su Yanhan took out a jade book.

Inside the jade book are engraved many profound and ancient cultivation techniques that have long been lost to time, imbued with a simple and ancient Daoist charm.

The spiritual energy has been cut off for too long, and many traditions in the Divine Continent have disappeared into the long river of history, but many mysterious traditions have been preserved in the ancient sects.

Upon seeing the jade book, the old Taoist's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up. "Are you really willing to offer these cultivation techniques?"

Su Yanhan's lips curled up slightly. "Protector Cang, there's no need to worry. Lingxia's ideals have deeply resonated with the people, and she is wholeheartedly dedicated to maintaining peace in China. We admire her greatly."

"Knowing that you lack cultivation techniques and personnel, we are willing to come and cooperate, join your alliance, and work together to protect the Divine Land."

"That sounds nice, but if it weren't for Empress Wu Minghuang suppressing the Southern Frontier, these guys would have been watching and waiting for who knows how long..." Lin Xiaoman muttered to herself.

"Don't underestimate the ancient sects. They are neither aristocratic families nor ordinary sects."

Ye Li tapped her on the head, "Even though their cultivation level isn't high right now because the spiritual energy hasn't fully recovered, the millennia-old heritage within their sect is still astonishing."

Especially those profound resources; just a little bit of them would be enough for Lingxia to digest for a long time.

As spiritual energy continues to recover and the restrictions of heaven and earth are lifted, supported by their accumulated foundation, they can easily rise at an astonishing speed.

The old Taoist priest pondered for a moment, then asked, "What are your conditions?"

These profound techniques are indeed something that Lingxiao desperately needs.

Currently, they are short-handed and need a large number of personnel, but they have been suffering from a lack of training methods and are unable to cultivate them.

Even if you recruit from outside, if you can't offer resources or advanced techniques, why would anyone want to join?

This is a very real problem.

"These techniques can be shared with you, and we can also send people to join Lingxiao every year."

Su Yanhan said seriously, "We only have two conditions."

"Please speak."

The old man's eyes gradually became serious.

Not only are there cultivation techniques, but also personnel joining... Lingyuan Sect is showing its sincerity.

"Our first condition is that we request to be enshrined on the Merit Monument and receive a share of the fortune and merit of the Divine Land."

"That's no problem."

"The names of all those who joined Lingxiao and contributed to protecting the land are inscribed on the monument."

"The second condition is that our Holy Maiden, who is also my Daoist partner, desires a Mountain and River Token to obtain the position of Master."

At this point, Su Yanhan couldn't help but show a hint of pride, "Rest assured, she is already a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator and is qualified to wield the Mountain and River Token."

Hearing this, the old man hesitated for a moment, "Logically speaking, given your strength and status as a Holy Maiden, it would be normal for Ru Song to join Lingxiao and obtain a Mountain and River Token. However, the position of Director is not currently vacant..."

"How could that be?"

"As far as we know, the position of your Demon Slayer Chief has always been vacant."

Su Yanhan frowned slightly.

The old man smiled awkwardly, "Unfortunately, the head of the Demon Slaying Division took office just recently."

Su Yanhan pressed further, "Who is it? What is its background?"

The old man said with a complicated expression, "To be honest, this matter is rather complicated, and Lingxiao does not want anyone else to know about it for the time being."

Su Yanhan's brows furrowed even more, his dissatisfaction growing. "In that case, we'll wait until the Holy Maiden arrives in five days, and then we can discuss this in detail."

The old man nodded: "Alright, we await the arrival of the Holy Maiden."

Before leaving, Su Yanhan suddenly stopped and turned back to say, "Many major events have happened in Qingzhou recently. You used the Map of Mountains and Rivers to cover them up, so we had no idea."

"But there is one thing I would like to ask you."

"Please speak."

"Does the Xianyun Temple on Qingzhou Mountain in Qingcheng City still exist?"

These words were spoken.

The old Taoist's expression suddenly turned solemn, and he couldn't help but exchange a glance with Ye Li.

Even Lin Xiaoman stopped playing the game, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"May I ask why Master Su inquired about Xianyun Temple?"

Su Yanhan said calmly, "Because I came from there, and I am the senior disciple of Xianyun Temple."

! ! ! !

Lin Xiaoman's expression suddenly turned to astonishment.

Ye Li was also extremely surprised. If it were true, wouldn't that mean that Su Yanhan was Chen Xuan's senior brother?

hiss--

This is no small matter; it's extremely serious.

"...Since Master Su has a past with Xianyun Temple, why not go and see for yourself?" The old Taoist pondered for a moment before giving his reply.

"Alright, I was already planning to go and see those good-for-nothing junior brothers and sisters."

Su Yanhan did not receive a definite answer; instead, a cold smile appeared on his face.

Back then, as the senior disciple of Xianyun Temple, I not only failed to receive the respect I deserved, but was also ignored by the junior disciples.

All the glory and honor that should have belonged to her were taken away by Chen Xuan.

Even when Chen Xuan fell off a cliff and fell into a coma, his master was unwilling to hand over the land deed of the Taoist temple to him on his deathbed.

Now, the world has changed dramatically. He has become a true disciple of the Lingyuan Ancient Sect and has achieved the late Foundation Establishment stage in a short period of time, astonishing everyone present.

Master, you are just old and blind, unable to see my talent, and have always looked down on me.

As it turns out, you were completely wrong.

I, Su Yanhan, am the true genius!
