It was already midnight when we returned to the sect, and many disciples who practiced Taiyin magical power were still practicing.
"Look! Lu Yuan is back!"
"Really?"
"Isn't that guy turned into a ghost?"
"It doesn't seem to be the case. Look at his shadow on the ground..."
When everyone saw Lu Yuan, they all looked in disbelief and quickly gathered around him.
Several disciples came up to touch his clothes. That was real fabric, not atomized clothing on a ghost.
Qiu Jizi happened to be there too. He opened his eyes wide in surprise and asked loudly: "Did you get it?"
Lu Yuan gave him a disdainful look and took out the demon pill from the Qiankun bag.
As soon as the demon pill came into contact with the moonlight, it immediately shone brightly. Black and white colors circulate in it like air currents, flickering on and off, as if following the beating of the heart.
"Resentful Tiger! You...you actually killed Resentful Tiger?!"
One of the disciples recognized this demon pill and cried out.
This disciple's biological brother died at the claws of another first-level seven-star resentful tiger when he was a first-level eight-star. Later, when he was promoted to a second-level Grand Master, he killed the demon to avenge his brother, so he recognized it.
When the other disciples heard that Lu Yuan had killed the resentful tiger, they all cheered and surrounded him.
"Hmph, a first-level and two-star demon master can kill the resentful tiger? I think he did some tricks."
"Yes! How can he kill demons with such a small body? He is probably hiding behind some master. Look at the demon pill he asked for after killing the resentful tiger..."
"It's possible! Demonic elixirs are only liked by demon masters who are full of demonic odor. Ordinary monks rarely use demon elixirs."
Lu Yuan looked at the discussing disciples coldly and remained unmoved at all.
"Let me take a look!" Qiu Jizi grabbed the demon pill and looked at the moon carefully. He even put his nose up to smell it and almost bit it.
After checking for a while, Qiu Jizi threw the demon pill to Lu Yuan, scratched his bald head, and laughed loudly: "Lu Yuan, you kid is better than me back then!"
He looked at everyone again: "Everyone, the leader did not agree that Lu Yuan had to do it himself, so it doesn't matter whether Lu Yuan killed it himself or not, as long as he brings back the demon pill!"
Although Qiu Jizi has a hot temper, he is also quick to talk. Seeing Lu Yuan bring back the demon pill unscathed, his attitude immediately changed.
"Chief Immortal, how dare I compare with you? Killing the resentful tiger is very exhausting. I want to rest now."
Lu Yuan didn't want to exchange the antidote now. He has to wait until tomorrow.
Tomorrow morning's show will be very exciting!
"Hahahahaha! Xiaoyuan, if you're not an immortal, just call me elder! The leader happens to be practicing right now, so I don't want to disturb you. Just go see him early tomorrow morning. There's no need to worry about this night anyway."
Lu Yuan had already calculated the date. It had been five days since he left his master, and it would take two days to return, making a total of seven days.
After master refines the toad demon elixir, it can last for fifteen days, which is enough time.
So he held up his hands and responded falsely: "Then wait one night. But I don't dare to call you an elder."
"Little bastard, just a few words of praise for you will make you go to heaven! I am determined to be the elder today! If Gu Nanfeng doesn't accept you, I will accept you personally!" After Qiu Jizi finished speaking, he immediately took out a large stack of red from Rong Ring. The talisman and a jade slip were handed to Lu Yuan.
"These are fifty red lotus talismans. You can use them first. If you have any less, come to me to get them. This jade slip is the "Neng Yan Jue" that controls flames among the basic magical powers of the Five Elements. This is a single book written by me. It is better than what is out there. The Five Elements bound volume is much stronger!”
Lu Yuan had already experienced the power of the Red Lotus Talisman when he killed the Resentful Tiger. This is a kind of talisman that is relatively difficult to draw. It requires the maker to have strong fire-attribute sensing ability. For most people, taking seven or eight talismans with them when going out is considered a big deal.
And the book "The Art of Engaging Flame" was also what he needed to learn basic magical powers.
Lu Yuan was stunned, he didn't expect Qiu Jizi to be so forthright.
"From now on, you are my registered disciple, Qiu Jizi. I am very optimistic about you, Lu Yuan!"
"Thank you for your kindness, elder. It's just that the boy is already a demon master, so it's not good for him to learn pure Taoism from his master."
"Oh! That's right. Look at my memory. Anyway, these things are common to all professions, so you should take them first. I am not your master, you can call me uncle!"
Lu Yuan did not shirk. At this time, learning more magical powers and getting more benefits are much more important than worldly politeness.
"Uncle, I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders." Lu Yuan smiled and took the gifts.
But he immediately thought: Qiu Jizi is so cheerful, people's hearts are far apart, and he has to be on guard.
Seeing Lu Yuan collect the things, Qiu Jizi was so happy that his bald head almost lit up. He kept saying: "What a young man! What a young man!" Then he cursed in a low voice: "You are like a stupid pig, forcing a disciple with such potential away!"
Lu Yuan has sharp ears and eyes, so of course he knows who the "stupid pig" he refers to.
Qiu Jizi usually had very strict training requirements for his disciples, but those disciples had never seen him as happy as he was today, let alone giving away so many good things at once, and even accepting a nephew on the spot. All of them were so jealous that their eyes shone. .
Under the envious eyes of everyone, Lu Yuan put the gift from Qiu Jizi into the Qiankun bag and said, "Uncle, I'm going to rest first."
After Lu Yuan left, Qiu Jizi said loudly to the others: "Did you see that? Did you see that? Lu Yuan is not as advanced as you in cultivation, but he has already been able to come back from the Sangmu Village to conquer demons by himself. Why don't you seize the time to practice?" "
Everyone was silent and began to practice seriously.
Returning to the bedroom, Lu Yuan suddenly felt a surge of profound energy throughout his body, hitting his Dantian constantly.
He quickly looked inside and found that the particles on the periphery of his dantian were rapidly gathering and condensing towards a point.
The star is about to rise!
Combat can quickly absorb and output profound energy, which is very helpful for improving one's cultivation level.
Lu Yuan immediately meditated and entered the cultivation posture, feeling the vigorous profound energy circulating throughout his body, and a full sense of soreness in all the meridians. With a little guidance from him, the mysterious energy quickly condensed into a small and exquisite star, as if it had heard the command.
The feeling of relief after a period of extreme fatigue instantly spread throughout the body. Lu Yuan was promoted to the first level three stars!
The fatigue was gone, and Lu Yuan was in high spirits, as if there were shooting stars flashing in his eyes.
He moved his muscles and found that his punch was particularly powerful, as if it could shake the air around him. He looked at his hands with satisfaction and carefully felt the changes in his body after the upgrade.
After getting familiar with the body after ascending to the star, Lu Yuan took out the cleansing talisman and immediately washed away the dirt all over his body, then put on clean clothes and quietly walked to the Demon Suppression Tower.
The next day.
Tianmei Hall.
Gu Nanfeng will summon him here.
The magnificent Tianmeitang is the place where the leader exercises his power. There are tall statues of the Three Pure Ones and various gods in the hall. The elegant incense slowly spread out from the exquisite incense burner, and all the disciples stood with their hands down, looking particularly solemn and solemn.
Lu Yuan climbed the steps step by step and walked into the hall. He remembered that when he was a child, he often saw the kind face of Master Qingxuanzi here.
Today, there is only the aloof leader Nan Fengzi.
He kept walking towards the high platform ahead. People were standing all around the road.
Some people were acquaintances before, but lost contact over the years and the relationship gradually faded.
Some brothers still remembered Lu Yuan, so they looked at him and nodded lightly.
But there were more unfamiliar faces with dubious expressions.
Senior Sister Mu Rong had been standing sideways, and when she saw him coming, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, revealing a slight smile. Upon seeing this, her master Jinyu Daojun immediately cleared his throat with a cough.
Mu Rong immediately withdrew her eyes and returned to her cold expression. Her pretending to be serious made Lu Yuan laugh. He knew it was inappropriate to laugh out loud on such an occasion, so he suppressed it.
Going up a little further, the bald Qiu Jizi opened his eyes wide and nodded slightly. Lu Yuan also nodded slightly and returned the salute.
On the high blue stone platform, Gu Nanfeng sat upright, overlooking everything below.
"See the leader!" Lu Yuan cupped his hands and said.
