Chapter 357: Unkind Visitors
The elixir-forming ceremony was held in a palace at Lingyun Peak.
The palace is divided into inner and outer halls.
The outer hall is used to receive guests from small and medium-sized forces, such as the Xunfeng Sect and other foundation-level forces, as well as some weaker Jindan-level forces.
The inner hall is used to entertain guests from the Zhang family, Shangguan family, and the top Jindan-level or above forces in several surrounding areas.
In addition, there are many elders and core alchemists from Qingyun Tower.
Inner Temple.
Chu Chen sat in the first row, together with Taoist Zuiyue and Lei Hanshan. All three of them had a close relationship with Mo Youshu.
Needless to say, Chu Chen gave Mo Youshu many pointers and helped him survive the thunder tribulation. Lei Hanshan was Mo Youshu's first master, and Zuiyue Taoist was Mo Youshu's fellow disciple.
Yes, Taoist Zuiyue is also a disciple of Qingxiao Tianjun.
It is precisely because of this relationship that Master Zuiyue is able to secure his position as the deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall and monopolize the big business of setting up the water shadow and cloud formation.
"Perhaps in the eyes of others, I am already a member of Qingxiao Tianjun's lineage."
Chu Chen glanced at Zuiyue Taoist and the two, and his heart moved.
Factional strife is everywhere.
If True Monarch Jindan is qualified to form Shantou and form a faction.
Then, the largest faction in Qingyun Tower is the Nascent Soul Lords.
There are three Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords sitting on the surface of Qingyun Tower, Qingxiao Heavenly Lord, Xuanjing Heavenly Lord, and Jinhong Heavenly Lord.
The three are jointly in charge of Qingyun Tower.
Qingxiao Tianjun is the tower master, Xuanjing Tianjun is the deputy tower master, and Jinhong Tianjun is the supreme elder.
As for the remaining Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord, he is probably regarded by Qingyun Pagoda as the foundation of the sect and is no longer exposed to the public, so few people know about it.
Because of Qingxiao Tianjun and others, Qingyun Tower was originally divided into three factions, forming a tripartite force.
Jinhong Tianjun is getting older and has been in seclusion for a long time. He has to delegate his power and no longer care about many matters of Qingyun Tower.
The Jinhong Tianjun faction subsequently fell apart. Except for joining the Qingxiao Tianjun and Xuanjing Tianjun factions, most of the monks in this faction chose to remain neutral.
In addition, the disciples who were originally outside the three sects formed a neutral sect that did not participate in the fight and focused on practicing hard.
"This is the result deliberately maintained by Qingxiao Tianjun and other Tianjuns."
Chu Chen knew the purpose of Qingxiao Tianjun and others.
It is nothing more than maintaining the vitality of the sect. As long as the factional fighting is controlled within a certain range, it can stimulate the potential of the disciples.
Chu Chen was considered a member of the neutral faction at the beginning, protecting the Hu family and not participating in the battles between various factions.
As his relationship with Zuiyue Taoist and Mo Youshu deepens, he will inevitably be regarded as a member of the Qingxiao Tianjun faction, unless he takes the initiative to draw a clear line with Zuiyue Taoist and Mo Youshu.
But it's not necessary.
"It is better to be classified into the faction of Qingxiao Tianjun than to be classified into the faction of Xuanjing Tianjun."
Chu Chen didn't care much.
Moreover, he did not actually join Qingxiao Tianjun's faction, but only became friends with Zuiyue Taoist and Mo Youshu.
"I didn't expect that Junior Brother Mo was trained by Senior Brother Lei. With such a method of teaching, he deserves to be called a famous teacher."
Taoist Zuiyue glanced at Lei Hanshan and asked.
"Senior brother is so complimentary."
Lei Hanshan smiled awkwardly: "The reason why Youshu can condense the third-grade golden elixir is all due to his own efforts and the guidance of Junior Brother Chu. I didn't help much."
"Junior brother Zhou is good at teaching disciples?"
Taoist Zuiyue raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Chen in surprise.
"I have been through the peak of foundation building for decades, and have summarized some experiences. I occasionally give Junior Brother Mo a few words of advice, but Junior Brother Mo's ability to condense the third-grade golden elixir relies more on his own efforts."
Chu Chen explained with a smile.
"I see."
Taoist Zuiyue nodded, not doubting Chu Chen's statement.
after all.
Chu Chen can barely condense the seventh-grade golden elixir, and it has not been long since he broke through the golden elixir stage. It is unlikely that he can teach a true king of the third-grade golden elixir.
Soon, the True Lord Ceremony officially began.
Mo Youshu sat on the main seat of the inner hall and accepted congratulations from envoys from all forces.
"The Xunfeng Sect presented four third-grade middle-level elixirs to wish Lord Mo Zhen as the Golden Pill Lord."
"The Zhao family of Black Scale Mountain presents ten bottles of third-grade intermediate elixirs to wish Lord Mo Zhen..."
"The He family in Lengyue Lake..."
The forces from all sides were very sincere and sent generous gifts one after another.
Mo Youshu is the Nascent Soul Seed of Qingyun Tower, and the forces do not dare to neglect him. He must be polite and polite. In a sense, he represents the face of Qingyun Tower.
Just as everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, Chu Chen's expression changed and he looked towards the sky.
Not only Chu Chen, but also Mo Youshu and others also set their sights outside the Qingyun Tower Mountain Gate.
A gorgeous chariot pulled by two red dragon horses flew slowly from far to near.
The whole body of the chariot looks like it is made of gold. There is no compartment in the back seat, only a cover.
There were two people on the chariot. A nine-foot-tall man who was not as tall as a mortal man was driving. A young man in flowing white clothes with a face like a crown of jade was sitting in the back seat.
"Xu Tianyou, the heaven of Yuelu Cave in Xuanyue Territory, came here to pay a special visit to Qingyun Pagoda Mo Zhenjun."
When the chariot came to the gate of Qingyun Pagoda, the young man in white stood up and shouted loudly.
The sound is like thunder, echoing across the sky for hundreds of miles.
"Yuelu Cave Heaven?"
Chu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Xu Tianyou and the two, and finally landed on the nine-foot strong man.
This Xu Tianyou is the Yuelu Cave Heaven's Nascent Soul Seed. He achieved the third-grade Golden Elixir two years ago and was accepted by the Yuelu Cave Heaven's Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord. The situation is similar to Mo Youshu's.
But this person only had the early stage of Jindan cultivation, so Chu Chen didn't pay too much attention to him. On the contrary, he was more concerned about this nine-foot strong man.
He could faintly feel the terrifying power hidden in this person's body, and secretly used the destiny gazing technique to observe this person.
"Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord? No, compared to Yuanying Heavenly Lord, this person's aura is obviously inferior. He is the True Lord of the Golden Core Peak, but he has a heavenly treasure in his body."
Chu Chen's eyes flickered, and his expression instantly became serious.
There is no need to describe the power of Tianbao.
A true king at the peak of the golden elixir, holding a Nascent Soul Heavenly Treasure, is not said to be able to compete with the Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord, but it is enough to protect himself.
If there are still methods left by Yuanying Tianjun in Tianbao, it might not be a bad idea to have a fight or two with Yuanying Tianjun.
A Nascent Soul Seed, a Golden Core Peak True Lord, and a Nascent Soul Heavenly Treasure. With such a lineup, it would not be a problem to sweep through the forces below the Nascent Soul level.
Top Jindan-level forces such as the Zhang family and the Shangguan family cannot stop them.
"It's not good."
Chu Chen glanced at the slightly surprised Yuelu Cave Angel, thoughtfully.
Mo Youshu also invited Yuelu Dongtian to the Golden Elixir Ceremony, and Yuelu Dongtian also sent a late-stage Jindan True Lord to send congratulatory gifts.
But the sudden visit of Xu Tianyou and his two men revealed something unusual.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, what does Yuelu Cave mean?"
Taoist Zuiyue's expression turned cold and he asked in a deep voice.
"Junior Brother Tianyou's move was not the intention of the higher-ups of Yuelu Cave Sky, and I didn't know it beforehand. It was his personal behavior."
Wang Luo, the angel of Yuelu Cave, explained with a wry smile.
"personal behavior?"
As soon as these words came out, Taoist Zuiyue and others frowned, extremely dissatisfied with Wang Luo's remarks.
Just as he was about to continue asking, Mo Youshu stood up and said, "Today is my Golden Elixir Ceremony. My Taoist friend wants to see me by name. How can I avoid seeing him?"
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Taoist Zuiyue and others to stop him, his figure disappeared from the spot.
