Chapter 82: The Blazing Flame Sect, Golden Elixir Cultivators Arrive

  "Thank you, Patriarch!" Xiao Chen's heart was also stirred upon hearing this. Although he didn't have much affection for the Xiao family, his father held the family in extremely high regard. From now on, as long as Luoyun Valley existed, the Xiao family would be worry-free for a thousand years. If Father knew about this matter, he would definitely be overjoyed.

  Xuan Qing's face showed a hint of disappointment upon hearing the words, knowing that what he had been thinking was probably utterly hopeless. He glanced at Xiao Chen and then shook his head without speaking.

  "Hehe, I've kept all of you fellow Taoists waiting for a long time. Now that the Dan-refining assessment has ended, the Great Competition of Luoyun Valley Sect officially begins." Yaodaozi stroked his beard and smiled, but at this moment, two powerful spiritual forces with no intention of hiding rushed straight to Luoyun Valley from due north.

  Everyone in the great hall changed color instantly as they felt the aura emitted by the two powerful spiritual forces.

  Qingyunzi's sect leader and Yaodaozi exchanged a glance, their faces suddenly turning extremely gloomy. The two of them stood up without hesitation, the aura of the Golden Elixir cultivators bursting forth in unison, facing off against the person who had come from afar.

  Xuan Qing's face changed slightly, and then the corners of his mouth curled up. He seemed to have sensed the identity of the newcomer, and his eyes towards Qing Yunzi and others had a few more hints of schadenfreude.

  As for Ming Sha Lao Zu, his face was even more gloomy, with a hint of sharpness flashing in his eyes, and he looked solemn.

  As for the Li Yan Zong group, they were overjoyed at this moment. This time, the Medicine Dao Subduing Dan Grand Ceremony was low-key due to the absence of the sect leader, Shen Ji Zi Zhen Ren. However, the young disciples of Li Yan Zong now had a fierce aura emanating from their bodies, which shocked the leaders of the smaller sects.

  "Haha, my two friends are late, please don't mind, Qingyunzi and Yaodaozi." A loud voice came from afar, from the northern horizon. Two flashes of light appeared and landed on the grand hall, revealing two figures as the light dissipated.

  One of them wore a purple Taoist robe, with a golden hoop on his head, and naturally exuded an aura that was unparalleled, even in the main hall of Luoyun Valley, he had not restrained himself in the slightest. His cultivation had reached the peak of the Golden Elixir middle period, and it was none other than Tianji Zi, the sect master of Lieyan Sect.

  As for the other person, he was a thin old man with a scar across his face and a gloomy look in his eyes, looking extremely terrifying. Although this person was weak, his cultivation had also reached the early stage of the Golden Elixir realm.

  "Pay respects to the True Person of the Sect, pay respects to Master Ming Xia." The group from Lie Yan Zong, led by the three elderly Xuan family members, bowed respectfully and exclaimed with surprise and joy.

  "Alright, let's get up." Tianji Zi slightly raised his hand and then made a circular gesture with his fists to the people around him, smiling: "Mingxiao Shidi is about to condense his dan, I really can't leave my post, so I'll be a bit late compared to all of you fellow practitioners, please forgive me."

  "Something's going on, Tianji's sect leader is getting serious."

  "Tianji Zi senior is protecting Ming Xiao senior, so it's no big deal if he comes a bit late. We wouldn't dare to blame him."

  "It's been a long time since we last met. The master of Tianji Sect still has the same demeanor, and his cultivation is even deeper than before. It's truly something to be congratulated."

  "Congratulations to Senior Mingxian for successfully condensing the elixir! I'll come down with Qing Shui Men to congratulate you!"

  At this moment, many small sect leaders in the grand hall stood up one after another to respond, and there were also many flattering voices mixed in.

  Everyone understands that the next one is likely to be a good show. Originally, everyone thought that Lie Yan Valley would trample Ling Yan Sect under their feet, but unexpectedly, Ling Yan Sect also had a fake Dan realm elder named Ning Dan who succeeded. In this way, in terms of martial arts alone, the two factions are already in a stalemate. This way, the previous matter of the two sects' gate competition may have to start all over again.

  Tianji Zi and Ming Xiao sat in the Lihuo Sect, with their disciples quickly reporting to them about what had just happened in the great hall. When Tianji Zi and Ming Xiao learned that Duan Huaming and Li Yue could refine the Foundation Establishment Pill on their own, they remained calm and composed. However, when they heard that Ji Yuedance had refined the Dragon Tiger Pill, a hint of surprise appeared in their eyes. And when they found out that Xiao Chen was able to refine two pellets of the top-grade Rebirth Pill, their eyes were filled with shock.

  After a moment, after fully digesting the news, Tianji Zi's face no longer showed any expression. He then smiled and said: "It seems that I arrived late and missed many wonderful things. I wonder if Medicine Daoist can call out the disciple who refined the Rejuvenation Dan, so that this deity can meet the rising alchemy master of Northern Huazhou's Cultivation Realm."

  Yao Daozi heard this and hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Xiao Chenzi, since Tianji Subei has invited you, go pay your respects."

  "Yes, Master." Xiao Chen heard the words and first saluted Yao Daozi, then calmly walked towards Lie Yan Zong's group. "Junior Xiao Chen has seen Tian Tian Ji Zi, the sect master." Although he was facing a Golden Elixir cultivator, Xiao Chen's expression remained calm and composed, causing Qing Yunzi and Yao Daozi to nod in secret, their impression of him improving by several degrees.

  Tianji's face wore a smile, his eyes calm and collected as he gazed at Xiao Chen. After a brief moment of silence, he chuckled and said: "Your temperament is indeed stable, worthy of being a master alchemist capable of refining third-grade elixirs. If I guarantee it, as long as you're willing to join my Lihuo Sect, I'll spare no expense in mobilizing the entire sect's power to help you lay your foundation. Would you be willing to switch allegiance, Xiao Chen?"

  Tianji Zi's words were half true and half false, making it impossible to grasp what he was thinking in his heart. However, the monks inside the grand hall couldn't help but jump in their hearts upon hearing this, as if it was clear that they wanted to snatch people from Luoyun Valley.

  "Tianji Sub-Sect's leader, please be careful with your words. Xiao Chen is my personally acknowledged disciple, it's absolutely impossible for him to betray and join another sect." Yao Daozi's face turned gloomy as he coldly spoke.

  Meng Yuan heard this and didn't get annoyed, calmly saying: "Medicine Dao friend doesn't need to be tense, I just casually mentioned it, why do you have to take it seriously? However, I really want to know, Xiao Chen's friend, what is your answer?"

  To be honest, when Xiao Chen heard these conditions, he was indeed very moved in his heart. After all, the biggest problem that has been troubling him at this moment is that he cannot build a foundation. However, after a little thought, he extinguished this idea. Not to mention that at this moment, the various sects of the North Hua State's cultivation world are gathered together, if he agreed for personal gain, others might not say anything, but they would secretly despise him in their hearts. Moreover, with his current status in Luoyun Valley, it is likely that his master and the leader of the True Person will also have the power to help him build a foundation, so why should he seek afar?

  "Thank you, Senior Tianji, for your kind intentions, but I have received great kindness from our sect and will never betray it in this life. Please forgive me." Xiao Chen's voice was sincere, his eyes firm as he replied slowly.

  Meng Yuan's expression didn't change, he looked deeply at Xiao Chen and suddenly burst out laughing: "Medicine Daoist has indeed taken in a good disciple, it's truly enviable. However, I came here today to congratulate Medicine Daoist on his successful Dan condensation, and secondly, to discuss the upcoming Sect's Grand Competition, which requires careful consideration from both our sects."
