"In three years' time, it will be the 2000th anniversary of the founding of the sect, and it will also be the 200th sect's magic and martial arts festival."
The main hall of Haoming Xuanyue Palace is the magnificent hall suspended directly above the entire Shangyang Xuanming Sect.
At this time, five Taoist elders wearing splendid Taoist robes and having extraordinary temperaments were sitting on the futons inside the main hall.
The leader of the five is the Lord of Ziyangchuan Cave - Ziyu Zhenren.
Next is the Lord of Ximulu Cave—Dangyao Zhenren.
The Lord of Baixuancao Cave - Danyang Zhenren.
The Lord of Lunjian Mountain Cave—Zhenren Hongjian.
Sitting at the end is a woman named Xianfeng Taoist Priestess. She is the master of the Lotus Pond Cave Heaven - Taoist Priestess Longhua.
This person is Yu Qingshu's master.
Originally, five people were needed to gather the five masters of the cave. However, the master of the Xiaozhulin Cave, Zhu Xinzhen, had not returned from his training abroad. Therefore, under special circumstances, he had to invite Taoist Sister Longhua, the master of the Lotus Pond Cave, to come.
Master Ziyu looked around at his four junior brothers and sisters, and said with a smile: "This anniversary celebration must not only be lively but also loud. Our sect has achieved a phased victory in the fight against the Blood Soul Religion. We must show it. Let outsiders see your strength."
Master Dangyao said coldly: "It must be like this. Recently, the demon tribes outside Ziwu Mountain have begun to stir up troubles again, making small moves constantly. Maybe they think that we have been hit hard by the Blood Soul Sect and have no time to take care of them."
"Hmph! This time I'm going to use a trick to take down those monster beasts in one fell swoop and stop them from invading Ziwu Mountain!"
Master Ziyu nodded and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Dangyao's contribution in exterminating demons and protecting the Tao is obvious to all, but we have just recovered from the battle against the Blood Soul Cult. As long as those demons don't mess around, everything that follows will still be the same. The sect’s anniversary celebration is the core.”
Master Hong Jian narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Recently, a lot of the evil cults and evil parties in Ziwu Mountain have been wiped out, but there are still some remnants hiding in the mountains, and it will take time to eliminate them bit by bit."
Master Ziyu looked at Master Hongjian and said: "What Junior Brother Hongjian said is absolutely true, but Zhou Wenrui, one of the cult leaders of the Blood Soul Sect, has now been executed, and all those rebellious evil parties have been eliminated. The other scattered ones have become insignificant and cannot form a force that can threaten us. I suggest that we recruit back all the disciples who are chasing the evil party outside. Those who are injured should recover well, and those who are not injured should cultivate and prepare. The martial arts competition for the sect’s anniversary celebration.”
Upon hearing this, Master Hong Jian closed his eyes and nodded slightly.
"That's right." Master Ziyu looked at Master Guangyang and asked, "Junior Brother Danyang, has the sect's material and elixir output returned to normal?"
Master Danyang took out a jade tablet from his arms, handed it over, and then said: "With the recovery of the lost elixir fields one by one, and the restoration of trade routes, the expenditure and income of elixirs and materials have returned to normal. This jade tablet The card is a list recording the elixir refining progress in the first half of the year."
Master Ziyu put away the jade plaque and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, food and grass go first before the troops are used. Among the things we are responsible for, your Junior Brother Danyang's responsibility is the most important. Without sufficient logistical support, we will also I can’t use my hands and feet.”
Master Danyang nodded slightly and said, "Master Ziyu is overly praised."
Finally, Master Ziyu looked at Taoist Sister Longhua, who was the last one to buy, and then asked softly: "Junior sister Longhua, do you need some help there?"
Aunt Longhua closed her eyes and meditated from beginning to end.
She knew that she was just here to gather people, so she didn't want to participate in the discussion.
She is a quiet person by nature and likes to be quiet. Except for some trivial matters in her own cave, she basically doesn't interfere with anything about the sect.
Sister Longhua slowly opened her eyes and said calmly: "Except for some of the disciples who were trying to eliminate the evil party were injured, there is nothing."
Master Ziyu chuckled and said: "Well, Junior Brother Danyang happens to be here. After the meeting, I will send my disciples to help Junior Sister escort the injured disciple to Baixuancao Cave for treatment."
Aunt Longhua nodded slightly and said, "Thank you very much."
Master Ziyu looked at Taoist Sister Takihua's otherworldly and elegant face, and said with a smile: "Junior sister, do you know why I invited you here today?"
Although they are more than hundreds of years old, the immortal cultivators' beauty-preserving skills are by no means ordinary.
Most of the male immortal cultivators don't care much about their appearance. People like Master Hongjian, Master Danyang, and Master Danyao look like ordinary people in their sixties.
Da Yao Zhenren even has some white hair on his head.
Ziyu Zhenren has practiced the art of facial rejuvenation, so he looks younger.
However, the female immortal cultivator has learned so many beauty-preserving spells in her life that it is hard to describe.
There are as many types of beauty techniques as there are stars, and it can even open up a new path of practice.
At this time, Taoist Sister Longhua looked like an ordinary woman in her thirties, and she looked the youngest among the five.
If she didn't say it, no one would know that she had lived hundreds of years.
Aunt Longhua shook her head and said, "I don't know. I hope Master Ziyu can clarify my doubts."
Master Ziyu said with a smile: "Because the sect's anniversary is about to be held, and this anniversary is also the time for the reordering of the five caves. Everyone has seen the development of the Xiaozhulin Cave over the years. Not only is it unable to take responsibility, but it also gives The sect has caused a lot of troubles, and among the remaining major caves, only Junior Sister, your Lotus Pond Cave Genius is qualified to inherit the position of the fifth cave."
As soon as these words came out.
Taoist Aunt Longhua immediately opened her eyes. She looked sharply at Master Ziyu and said, "Senior Brother Zongren's jade tablet of life has not been broken yet. Although his current location cannot be found, he is not in any danger for his life. Given the circumstances here, it would be inappropriate to make such a hasty decision."
Master Ziyu said with a smile: "Junior sister, you are anxious again, aren't you? There must be a process for selecting the five caves. What I mean is that if Junior Brother Zhuxin fails to come back during the anniversary celebration, I think you should take the responsibility, junior sister. Responsibility comes."
Aunt Longhua closed her eyes and said, "I refuse."
Master Ziyu said earnestly: "Junior sister, you can't be as willful as before. Look at how many things have happened in the sect since Xiaozhulin Cave was selected as one of the five major caves. The four of us really can't handle it. , I really need your help, junior sister, you are now the one who is favored by everyone, as long as you agree, the seat in the fifth cave will definitely be yours."
Aunt Longhua closed her eyes and remained silent.
Taoist Ziyu continued to persuade: "At least you should consider the sect, right? The head brother has been in seclusion for many years and has been indifferent to the sect's affairs. We are really going to die from exhaustion."
Aunt Longhua sighed and said, "Okay, I'll go back and think about it."
Immediately Master Ziyu smiled and said, "Senior sister, if you say this, I will feel more at ease, senior brother."
Then he saw Yu Qingshu arranging the incense burner behind Taoist Sister Longhua.
He smiled and said: "Also, I have disabled all the privileges of Wei Ran's true disciple status. I guess he will not dare to do evil in the sect in the future."
"It will not disturb Qingshu's practice."
When Yu Qingshu heard this, she immediately stood up and looked at Master Ziyu.
Her pink lips pursed slightly, and then she turned to look at her master's back.
However, there was no emotion or meaning in her cold eyes and ice sculpture-like expression.
Master Ziyu said coldly: "I really didn't expect that Junior Brother Zhuxin would never accept a disciple at all in his life. In the end, he actually accepted a disciple like Wei Ran, with bad conduct, slovenly, not serious about immortal cultivation, and still holding his true biography. Disciple's name is used everywhere to deceive and swindle our sect. This time I just deprive him of his privileges. For the sake of Junior Brother Zhu Xin, I think this punishment is light. If I were his master, I would definitely treat him Throw him into the Demonic Cave and reflect on it!"
The other four people couldn't say much about Wei Ran.
After all, Wei Ran's performance was really hard to describe.
Master Ziyu saw that everyone acquiesced in his punishment of Wei Ran, so he continued: "In view of Wei Ran's performance over the years, he is no longer qualified to be a true disciple. When Junior Brother Zhuxin comes back, he must have a good talk with him, and Wei Ran Ran and Qingshu’s marriage..."
"Why don't you take this opportunity to call off this marriage, so that he won't drag down Qingshu."
"Junior sister, what do you think?"
