Chapter 221 Alliance Ceremony
Despite his heavy heart, Fang Chen came to the alliance ceremony of the inner ghost alliance, no, the cultivator alliance, under the guidance of the disciples of the two major sects on the morning of the third day.
As for Ye Qingyang, he was asked to leave yesterday.
He was invited by the two major sects to attend a closed-door meeting to discuss the specific details of the establishment of the cultivator alliance.

He didn't come back until the evening.
It's not surprising. The day before the alliance started, it was a relatively abstract behavior to discuss specific matters.
It is a luxury to reach a consensus quickly.
From this point, it can be seen that the two major sects have no sincerity in establishing the so-called cultivator alliance. It is indeed a rush.
It is likely that as Ye Qingyang guessed, there was pressure from the Yuanying sects in other regions, so they reluctantly held such an alliance ceremony.
"So, the Tianyu I met that day might be a person sent by the other four regions to supervise the cultivator alliance."
With this idea in mind, Fang Chen looked around, trying to find his figure, but unfortunately he didn't see him.
At present, it seems that all the people present are the juniors who came to watch the ceremony like him.
And some representatives of foundation-building forces.
According to the disciple who had just instructed, these forces were not qualified to participate in the discussion of the affairs of the monks' alliance, but they also heard the news and came to join in the fun.
After all, after the establishment of the monks' alliance, Lianyunfang City will be relocated to this alliance headquarters.
According to Zhou Xinghai, the relocation work has already begun, so it is not surprising that they learned about the establishment of the monks' alliance.
Although they are not qualified to sit at the table, they also have to know what kind of dishes they will be made into.
There are thousands of thoughts in his mind, but unfortunately it is not time for the ceremony to start yet, so Fang Chen can only wait on the viewing platform.
He has always been diligent in practicing, and he has never meditated and practiced in such occasions. This is not a good place, and he must always be vigilant.
"Dang--"
I don't know how long I have been waiting, Fang Chen began to yawn, and a crisp bell sounded from nowhere.
The sound resounded through the sky, but it didn't seem deafening. It fell into the ears and made people feel refreshed, as if their souls were cleansed.
As a result, everyone who came to watch the ceremony showed a state of full spirit.
"As expected of the two great sects, they have a profound foundation."
Fang Chen, who was also invigorated by the sound of the bell, could not help but sigh at the foundation of the two sects.
As a cultivator who had done some research on ghost cultivation, he could sense that the sound of the bell could improve the power of the soul, and there were almost no side effects.
If it was a cultivator who had just entered the fifth level of Qi training and condensed his spiritual thoughts, I am afraid that a bell ringing could increase the range of his spiritual thoughts by one tenth.
The two great sects were indeed the former Yuanying sects. Even if they declined and split, they could suppress all forces in the Eastern Region.
Just as Fang Chen was sighing, a high platform rose from the ground in the center of the venue. Above the platform, clouds and mist lingered, like a fairyland, attracting the attention of all the cultivators present.
As the platform slowly rose, a majestic spiritual power gushed out from its bottom, like a giant dragon soaring into the sky.
This spiritual power was pure and powerful, making every cultivator present feel like they were in the spring breeze. A few clever ones had already started to practice their skills to seize this opportunity.
Fang Chen didn't care.
With the Tianyan Breathing Method, he never lacked pure spiritual energy. However, it was rare to see so many cultivators practicing together outside Yuehua Immortal City, so he observed each cultivator with interest.
Unfortunately, this was not Yuehua Immortal City after all. He could not probe his spiritual consciousness and deeply investigate their cultivation situation. He could only watch with his naked eyes.
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
When his eyes were about to inspect the entire viewing platform, they fell on a little girl, but she noticed it.
She immediately turned her head and waved her little fist at Fang Chen, looking at him provocatively.
"Sorry, I'm looking for an acquaintance."
Fang Chen smiled and nodded at her, retracting his gaze.
"Humph."
The little girl suddenly felt that it was meaningless, and the whole person was deflated. She snorted and said nothing more.
With this little episode, Fang Chen no longer looked around.
Instead, he observed the high platform in the center.
The high platform was engraved with complex runes and totems, and every stroke contained an ancient and mysterious power, as if it could communicate with heaven and earth and stir up the wind and clouds.
It seems that the two major sects also made a big move for this alliance ceremony.
"Dang——"
Just as he was about to carefully observe the forbidden patterns on the high platform, another bell sounded from the sky.
When the bell sounded, all the cultivators were forced to withdraw from the state of cultivation, but there was no backlash.
It was showing the foundation again.
Fang Chen was no longer surprised by this.
The second bell sounded, and it once again focused the attention of everyone on the scene on the high platform in the middle.
At this time, the high platform was no longer empty. At some point, eighteen cultivators landed on the high platform.
Fang Chen took a look and didn't recognize any of them.
He didn't recognize them, but there were many other cultivators who knew them.
"That's the Grand Elder of Ziji Sect. It's rumored that his cultivation has reached the perfection of Zifu, and he's only one step away from Jindan."
"The Medicine King of Lingyao Valley is here too. Not only has his cultivation reached the late stage of Zifu, but his alchemy level has reached the lower fourth level. He can refine the elixirs needed by Jindan cultivators. Even Huoyun Sect and Feiyun Sect highly respect him."
"There is also the sword leader of the Lingxiao Sword Sect. Even though his cultivation level is only in the middle stage of Zifu, he is a sword cultivator. Under the sword aura, even the perfect monks of Zifu must avoid his sharp edge. ”
"Don't forget that the ancestors of the Zhou family also have the early cultivation of Zifu. I heard that the Zhou family is behind Lianyunfang City. Not only that, there are Zhou family figures in many large cities nearby."
…
The shock and discussion around him reached Fang Chen's ears, and he also understood the identities of these people on the high platform.
Under the rule of Fire Cloud Sect and Feiyun Sect, there are eighteen representatives of the Zifu forces.
It can be seen that they also give Huoyun Sect and Feiyun Sect a lot of face, and the people who come are all Zifu monks.
The significance of their appearance on the high platform is self-evident.
It represents that all the Zifu forces agree with the monk alliance of Fire Cloud Sect and Feiyun Sect.
Those who were able to attend the ceremony were not fools, so they could naturally understand this signal. After being surprised at the beginning, they began to communicate with each other.
"Hey, you can sit here, who is your elder?"
Fang Chen did not participate in the discussion, but the discussion took the initiative to find him.
The little girl he had glanced at just now sat next to him at some point and asked him which force he was a disciple of.
"Let's go to the Zhou family. Where are you, girl?"
Fang Chen didn't see Ye Qingyang, but it didn't matter. He and Zhou Xingyun were like brothers, so it was reasonable to say that he was from the Zhou family.
"So you are from the Zhou family, I am from the Lingxiao Sword Sect, and the old man below is my father."
The old man that this little girl calls is the swordsman of the Lingxiao Sword Sect that everyone calls him.
"The girl is really humorous. Your father looks young. How can he be an old man?"
Fang Chen didn't mean it as a compliment, this swordsman from the Lingxiao Sword Sect looked like he was only thirty or forty years old.
Generally speaking, whether a monk's face is young or not is related to the time when he broke through the great realm. For example, Fang Chen, who has already established his foundation soon after reaching adulthood, will have a baby face.
Since the lifespan of a foundation-building monk is twice that of an ordinary Qi-refining monk, during the entire Foundation-building period, every two years, Fang Chen's face changes will be equivalent to one year during the Qi-refining period.
Considering Jian Shou's cultivation in the middle stage of Zifu and his face in his thirties or forties, it shows that his true age is definitely not more than a hundred years old.
Being able to open the Purple Mansion before one hundred years old definitely has the strength to condense golden elixir.
"Don't be fooled by his face. The old man loves beauty. He took a beauty pill when he was young. My mother did the same. She even tricked this girl into taking one too, which makes her look like now. Like a little kid.”
The little girl spoke directly, breaking Fang Chen's impression of the sword's genius.
"It's not just what it looks like."
Of course, Fang Chen didn't say this out loud, but thought about it in his heart.
But then, he started thinking about Zhu Yan Dan.
This is an extremely miraculous elixir that can maintain the appearance from the moment you take the elixir until death.
Therefore, it has been sought after by many female cultivators.
I didn't expect that the swordsman of the Lingxiao Sword Sect would also pay so much attention to appearance.
"You're from the Zhou family, so what's your name? It's not good to keep asking you to feed me. My mother said it's rude."
Seeing Fang Chen's silence, the little girl started chatting again as if they were familiar with each other.
"Fang Chen."
At first, Fang Chen actually wanted to report Zhou Xingyun's name.
Thinking about it later, I thought it would be better to forget about Huo Huo, a brother with a strong character. His own name is not something that cannot be used.
"Huh? You are from the Zhou family, why do you have the surname Fang?"
The little girl was indeed confused by Fang Chen, but before Fang Chen could answer, she came to her senses and continued to ask: "Are you the son-in-law?"
"Why don't you first suspect that I'm not from the Zhou family?"
Hearing the little girl's question, Fang Chen almost laughed out loud, but thinking that this was an important occasion, he calmed down and just asked curiously.
"But you said you are from the Zhou family!"
The little girl looked matter-of-fact, but then she seemed to come to her senses and stared at Fang Chen angrily: "Are you lying to me?"
"To be more precise, I'm teasing you."
The smile on Fang Chen's face became even brighter, he didn't expect this little girl to have such an innocent heart.
To put it simply, it is easy to fool.
"Hmph, bad guy, I'll ignore you."
The little girl's face swelled with anger, looking like a pufferfish. She folded her arms and tilted her head to the other side.
"Okay, okay, I'll treat you to some spiritual fruit."
With that said, Fang Chen took out a bunch of grapes from the Five Elements Cave and handed it to the little girl.
"Then I will reluctantly forgive you."
The little girl knew the goods well and knew that this bunch of grapes was not simple. She put it away and then made a face at Fang Chen, not looking as angry as before.
Only then did Fang Chen realize that he had been tricked by this little girl, and thought to himself: "He is also a clever child."
"Fang Chen, right? For the sake of your string of spiritual fruits, I will tell you my name. Ling Mengqiu, please remember it."
After introducing himself, Ling Mengqiu asked curiously: "Since you are not from the Zhou family, which family are you from? Could it be that you are a foundation-building force coming to watch the ceremony?"
"when--"
Before Fang Chen could answer, the third bell rang on the field.
Along with the sound of the bell, three more figures landed on the high platform.
This time, the whole place was silent.
"Who are these?"
Ling Mengqiu couldn't help but ask such questions.
That’s right, no one at the scene knew the three people who appeared on the high platform.
But they happened to be standing at a higher level than the eighteen purple mansion cultivators, so it was not difficult to know their cultivation.
“Is it them?”
No one at the scene knew them, but Fang Chen found that these three people were his acquaintances.
Ye Qingyang, Longjia and Tianyu.
A strange combination.
However, if you think about it carefully, the three of them are the only three Jindan cultivators besides Huoyun Sect and Feiyun Sect. I am afraid that they have more say in the cultivator alliance than other sects and forces.
“Do you know them?”
Fang Chen muttered in a low voice, but it could not escape Ling Mengqiu’s ears, so the two watery eyes immediately looked at him, wanting to get the answer from him.
“I know them. The one on the far left is Ye Qingyang, from Tianfeng Sect. I came with him. The one on the right is Longjia, and the one in the middle is Tianyu.”
Fang Chen made a very brief introduction, only saying their names once.
But for Ling Mengqiu, it was enough to satisfy her curiosity.
Especially Ye Qingyang, when she heard this name, she showed a shocked expression on her face.
She had certainly heard about the Tianfeng Sect, but the rumors outside were that Ye Qingyang had successfully opened up the Purple Mansion. How come it seems that there is more than that now.
"Senior Ye, has he condensed the golden elixir?"
As the daughter of two Purple Mansion cultivators, Ling Mengqiu knew very well the difficulty of condensing the golden elixir, and subconsciously thought it was impossible.
But on second thought, Ye Qingyang was originally a super genius with wind spirit roots. He successfully built his foundation early, and there was no news after the foundation was completed. It is indeed possible to hide it from the world and directly cultivate to the golden elixir.
After all, Huoyun Sect and Feiyun Sect have always been very resistant to the appearance of other golden elixir cultivators under their rule. Spreading false news that they could not open up the Purple Mansion and then secretly condensing the golden elixir is indeed a retreat to advance.
"Dang-"
Just as she was thinking about thousands of things, the fourth bell rang.
The two cultivators fell from the sky with the bell and slowly landed on the high platform, a little higher than Ye Qingyang and the other two.
Except for Fang Chen and Ling Mengqiu, all the cultivators present immediately held their breath.
"Who are these two?"
Seeing this situation, Fang Chen asked Ling Mengqiu beside him in a low voice.
"The supreme elders of Huoyun Sect and Feiyun Sect are both Jindan perfected, only one step away from Yuanying."
Ling Mengqiu also lowered his voice and spoke in a voice that only Fang Chen could hear.
Fang Chen understood, his eyes fell on the high platform, and he looked at the two people.
They were dressed in luxurious robes and wore golden crowns on their heads. Their eyes revealed determination and wisdom, as if they could see everything in the future.
Fang Chen looked at them, and they also looked at Fang Chen, but their eyes did not stay, but circled around.
Seeing that the atmosphere was already set, one of them stepped forward and spoke slowly.
