Chapter 359: Different Reactions
Shi Xuan accepted it calmly. This was the treatment that a Yuanshen Zhenren deserved. After all the cultivators finished congratulating him, Shi Xuan smiled faintly and said, "No need to be polite."
At this time, those who knew Shi Xuan finally came to their senses. The emotions in their hearts were really hard to describe, but they were different for each of them.
Ling Xing thought of the young disciple who was inconspicuous when he entered the sect. At that time, he was only in his early twenties. He was a Jindan Grandmaster who had been in the elixir for many years and lived for more than a hundred years. In his mind, he was a real kid. Later, he was favored by Mo Yuan, and he really noticed him.
But in the past two hundred years, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. First, he almost set a record for advancing to the Qi Induction Stage, and then he was already a spirit after traveling back. However, for him, he was still a junior who needed to be taken care of.
I thought he would be stuck in the soul perfection for a long time, but he achieved the top-grade golden elixir in just 34 years, surpassing me. Now he has achieved the primordial spirit and can be honored as a "real person" and enjoy the longevity, while I have just advanced to the Yin God and am still struggling for a chance to reincarnate. Or should I really switch to cultivating the external primordial spirit?
So Lingxing's emotions include the relief that the younger generation he is optimistic about has achieved such an achievement, the joy that the sect has one more primordial spirit real person, and the faint, indescribable envy, jealousy and self-pity.
Yongxing felt a little fortunate and sighed. At that time, because Mo Yuan violated the sect rules on his own initiative during the ceremony of recruiting disciples, many family members were unable to enter the sect, so he was quite indifferent to the disciples who came in that time, almost indifferent. Fortunately, he didn't care, otherwise the fate of Meng Li would be a lesson for us.
What was even more unexpected was that Shi Xuan could achieve Yuanshen so quickly! There were more than three generations of Yinshen masters who had gone out before!
And what is the concept of Yuanshen Zhenren? For Yong Xing, it is a person who can sit back and watch the wind and clouds rise and fall of families! Of course, as a cultivator himself, Yong Xing naturally envied, couldn't believe it, and sighed at himself.
Hong Zhishan's panic came suddenly and he couldn't suppress it. Even after Shi Xuan achieved the upper-grade golden elixir, he had already bowed his head and admitted defeat, handed over the Leifu world, and rarely appeared in front of Shi Xuan, but after all, there was always some grudge, and he didn't know what Shi Xuan was thinking.
Originally, he was only an upper-grade golden elixir, and his status in the sect was higher than his, but there was no absolute gap. Moreover, once he advanced to Yinshen, he would go to other worlds, and it was still unclear whether he could come back, so he was only a little worried and put it behind his mind in a blink of an eye. Who knew that he would achieve Yuanshen and return so quickly!
When Hong Zhishan thought about the grudges between him and a real person, he could not suppress the fear and panic in his heart, and he shuddered.
The top-grade Jindan Grandmaster who was currently the head of the Law Hall sighed softly. Senior Brother Shi had always been his goal and role model, motivating him to move forward. He thought that the gap between him and him was getting smaller and smaller, but with just this step, Senior Brother Shi and himself were worlds apart.
One had longevity, and even if there was a heavenly tribulation, it would be hundreds or even thousands of years later, while the other had to hone himself and fight for the appearance of a slight opportunity.
Ren Shuiyao and the Chi family siblings were happy, happy, excited and envious because they had received Shi Xuan's guidance, but Ren Shuiyao felt more incredible and unbelievable.
"Sister Chi, Brother Chi, what do you think of Uncle Shi, uh, Master Shi is too exaggerated, he has achieved the Yuanshen in less than a hundred years, I have never seen it in the sect's classics." Ren Shuiyao couldn't help but communicate with the Chi siblings with her spiritual sense, and the time was counted from the time when Shi Xuan disappeared from the Tianji List.
Chi Caibo didn't seem to expect Ren Shuiyao to ask this question, and paused before answering: "How can it be exaggerated? Master Shi should be so fast, it's normal." If it wasn't so fast, Chi Caibo would find it strange. Based on his own experience over the years, Master Shi should be a celestial being who practices secret methods, and as the secret methods progress, his cultivation gradually recovers.
"That's right, it's a very normal thing, Sister Ren, you are too surprised." Chi Zhengde echoed.
Ren Shuiyao didn't expect to get this kind of answer, and her mind was in a mess. Is it really a normal thing? Is it really that I am surprised? But it is clearly recorded in the sect's classics! But both of them answered in this way, and it seemed that their words were firm and regarded as truth, not like a joke!
After congratulating Shi Xuan on his achievement of the Yuanshen, Zhang Zongshi suppressed his emotions and said with a smile: "Master Shi, you just came back. I'm sure many disciples here don't know you yet. I'll introduce you to one or two." Although he had restrained his emotions, there seemed to be a voice in Zhang Zhengyan's heart shouting "Yuanshen!" "Yuanshen!" The voice was getting louder and louder, making it difficult for Zhang Zhengyan to restrain this thought. He couldn't help but think of the Yuanshen technique of the external Taoists in the Tianya Haijiao Tower.
Shi Xuan was still a little uncomfortable with Master Zhang calling him Master Shi. After all, he was an elder who watched him grow up step by step. However, just like Xu Zhenjun had to call him Master, as long as they were not the direct descendants of his lineage, they had to call him Master when they saw him. This was the case in all the heavens and the worlds: "Thank you, Master."
"This is Tang Mo, the head of the Law Hall. He is a disciple of your generation. He practices the Secret Sword Box for Immortal Slaying and has advanced to the Golden Elixir stage for more than 20 years." Zhang pointed at the handsome and cold-hearted master of the highest-grade Golden Elixir.
Tang Mo stepped forward and saluted respectfully, saying, "Tang Mo pays respect to Master Shi." After saluting, his back was straight, like a sword out of its sheath.
Looking at him, Shi Xuan seemed to see Yong Xiang back then, and nodded with a little emotion, "Master Tang is polite." For cultivators who are older than oneself or one generation, except for the direct lineage, they are all addressed by their positions, such as the head, elder. Of course, for Master Yuanshen, this is not a problem. If it really doesn't work, go out and travel for a few hundred years to collect materials for the secret treasure of overcoming the tribulation. When you come back, almost all the non-Shen cultivators who are older than oneself will be dead.
Zhang Zhengyan continued to introduce the head of Tianquan Peak: "This is Qiu Xuan, the head of Tianquan Peak."
Qiu Xuan was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, smiling like a flower, and her manners were quite clever. She bowed and said, "Disciple greets Master Shi. I have long heard of your name, and often heard Uncle Ming talk about it. I just didn't expect that you have achieved the Yuanshen when we first met."
I didn't expect that she was on good terms with Ming Qingyue. Shi Xuan smiled and said, "Qiu Xuan, you don't have to be so polite. By the way, Qingyue is not in the sect?"
"Reporting to Master Shi, Uncle Ming was very quiet and wanted to move. He went out with Uncle Yu to look for the opportunity to make a pill." Qiu Xuan replied with a smile.
After introducing the elders and true disciples that Shi Xuan didn't know, the acquaintances came over one by one to greet them. Lingxing, Lingqing, and Yongxing were respectful but a little reserved. After all, they were of different generations and ages. Shi Xuan naturally responded politely.
After arriving at Hong Zhishan, he walked to Shi Xuan with a slightly pale face and saluted, saying, "Zhishan pays respects to Master Shi."
"Well, Master Hong, thank you for your courtesy." Shi Xuan nodded, indicating that he could leave.
Hong Zhishan didn't expect that the greetings would end so calmly and without any waves. He thought that Shi Xuan would make things difficult for him, and he had prepared himself mentally, but Shi Xuan didn't seem to care about him at all. In his eyes, he was probably just a speck of dust. Thinking of this, Hong Zhishan was actually a little disappointed.
"Disciple pays respects to Master Shi." Ren Shuiyao, Chi Zhengde, and Chi Caibo stood up together and saluted Shi Xuan.
Shi Xuan said gently: "Shuiyao, you can advance to the soul stage, which is not in vain for my guidance. I hope you can stick to your own path and achieve a high-grade golden elixir one day."
Ren Shuiyao didn't expect Shi Xuan to still remember her. She was excited and happy: "Disciple, I will definitely live up to your expectations, Master Shi."
Hearing the conversation between the two, the other true disciples and soul-stage elders who knew Ren Shuiyao were extremely shocked. They thought that Ren Shuiyao, whose master was only in the soul stage and had already fallen, was the one with the least foundation among the true disciples. Unexpectedly, she had some connection with Master Yuanshen and received his guidance. It seems that we have to pay attention to our attitude towards her in the future.
Turning his head to look at the Chi family siblings, Shi Xuan laughed and scolded: "Aren't you two siblings going out to find an opportunity to make a pill? Why are you still in the sect?" They are disciples of Senior Brother Xie and are also his acquaintances, so naturally they have to teach them a few words.
"Ha, ha, report to the real person, the disciples just happened to have something to do, so they will return to the sect first, and will go out again in a few days." Chi Caibo answered with two dry laughs. She still looked young and beautiful. I think she had taken the anti-aging pill. She didn't look like Chi Zhengde's sister, but more like his younger sister.
Chi Zhengde explained: "Originally, the disciple was going to go out, but it happened that my sister got an ancient golden elixir-level formation, and I studied it with her, so it was delayed for a while."
Sect Master Zhang interjected: "The two siblings are formation masters in our sect, and their talent in prohibitions is unmatched."
Shi Xuan said lightly and sternly: "What is your path? What is your pursuit? Think clearly." If there is a way to achieve a high-grade golden elixir and a primordial spirit through a formation, Shi Xuan would not be so serious. Although there may be some in other worlds, there is no such thing in Penglai Sect.
However, if the two people are determined to pursue the longevity path through formation prohibitions, then Yin Shen will need to send them to a similar world.
Chi Caibo and Chi Zhengde did not expect Shi Xuan to be so strict. They immediately broke out in a cold sweat. It was not something they could control. It was like a bucket of cold water was poured over their heads. They suddenly woke up and realized that they had indeed spent too much time on the formation: "Disciples will obey the Master's order."
But from the tone of their voices, Shi Xuan found that they were only a little remorseful. If they wanted to fully reflect on themselves, they might have to find another opportunity. Of course, that might be the chance for them to become pills.
