Chapter 691: Seven Elders' Decision, Temporary Guest
"My name is Chu Yan, and the cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm respect me as the Alchemy Saint."
Until Luo Chen exited that door, the gentle and bathing voice, like spring breeze and fine rain, still echoed in his mind.
No wonder he felt close to her the first time he saw her.
Both are from the Eastern Wasteland cultivation world, both are alchemists, and both have had the feat of refining fifth-order pills in the Nascent Soul stage.
The fusion of various similarities made him feel close subconsciously.
It's just that some aspects are unexpected.
In Luo Chen's imagination, the Alchemy Saint should be an old cultivator with white beard and immortal style, but from that phantom, it is clearly a weak and slender young girl.
Of course, from the moment the other party abruptly asked "Can you refine fifth-order pills", Luo Chen couldn't treat the other party as any weak girl.
This is a Soul Transformation powerhouse who is about to ascend!
Even, vaguely perceived that he had once refined fifth-order pills, so there was that question.
Luo Chen would not publicize the matter of the fifth-order Yanfa Pill, so he fooled it.
The questions and answers in the Star Gate became less important from the moment he saw Alchemy Saint Chu Yan, but it was just repeating the rhetoric that Fu Chaosheng had explained before.
Luo Chen left the Star Gate calmly and returned to the Welcoming Immortal Hall.
Fu Chaosheng, who had been waiting for a long time, came out to greet him expectantly, and brought a real "young" woman.
"This is my granddaughter Fu Qinglan, Qinglan, why don't you meet Fellow Daoist Luo?"
Looking at the young Luo Chen, Fu Qinglan's white cheeks had three points of hesitation.
Luo Chen saw her embarrassment.
It was just a seniority problem in the cultivation world.
He is on the same generation as her grandfather, but in terms of cultivation level, they are roughly the same, so this address is a bit difficult.
"Let's talk about our own, Fu... Little Fellow Daoist Fu?"
When the words reached his mouth, Luo Chen was also a bit embarrassed.
Fu Qinglan smiled, "The capable one is first, I will call you Dao Brother! Fellow Daoist Luo, don't call me Little Fellow Daoist Fu, just call me Qinglan, friends all call me that."
Because of this smile, the awkward atmosphere in the field dissipated.
Fu Chaosheng is good at adjusting the atmosphere, and just now he was watching from the sidelines to give the two a certain amount of contact time. Seeing that they have opened the conversation now, he naturally wouldn't hang high. He immediately invited Luo Chen to the prepared banquet and asked him about the assessment of the Seven Elders of the Star Gate.
In the space where the stars are dotted, flickering.
Seven illusory figures discussed after Luo Chen left.
"North Sea cultivator, claiming to be a loose cultivator, no master inheritance. But the magic power is majestic and upright, and the soul foundation is hidden and not revealed, far exceeding ordinary Nascent Soul first-layer cultivators. This person, the details are unknown. Xiang thinks, do not pass!"
This is the representative of the thirty-six families, the Xiang family Supreme Elder.
He opened his golden mouth first, seeming to want to set the tone.
But soon, it attracted the rebuttal of others.
"Star Gate chooses talents, always has no class, even monster cultivators can be accommodated, let alone a loose cultivator? Everyone has secrets, we can achieve late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivators, who doesn't have some adventures, is it necessary to get to the bottom of it?"
"Indeed, the Star Gate wants to grow, and the concept of accommodating all rivers and swallowing the four continents is indispensable. The Wild Loose Practitioner has been extremely active in fire attribute spiritual energy since entering the Star Gate, he seems to have a fire spirit body. Counting his age, he is no more than three hundred years old, he is truly a Soul Transformation seed, I think he is very suitable to be a Star Gate guest."
"Qualification and age are not discussed for now, I see this person is like a rootless duckweed, if the Star Gate can accept him, over time he will get his recognition. In the information, Fu Chaosheng also said, this person values friendship very much..."
The three Heaven and Earth Peak Elders from other continents spoke one after another, and soon changed the tone of the Xiang family Supreme Elder.
The so-called Seven Elders assessment is composed of five Heaven and Earth Peak Elders from other continents, representatives of thirty-six families, and representatives of twelve giant houses.
Now that the Elders from other continents have such a unified caliber, it is clear that it is not really Luo Chen's proud demeanor that moved them.
Those words are standard, and where is the demeanor?
The inside story, if you think about it carefully, is not complicated.
It is nothing more than the Alchemy Saint Chu Yan among the five Elders from other continents is about to ascend, leaving a quota.
Her departure also weakened most of the power of foreign cultivators in the Star Gate.
So, now they are so impatient to recruit foreign cultivators who have common experiences with them.
Starting from this, when promoting new Elders in the future, it will be smoother.
Unexpectedly, when the fourth person spoke, the tone turned sharply.
"You all say how good his qualifications are, how good his heart is, and how he has hope for Soul Transformation."
"But are there few such existences on Lankeshan?"
The three from other continents changed color.
"Dongfang Bai, what do you mean?"
Dongfang Bai sneered, "You must first figure out what the concept of the Star Gate is! Absorbing foreign talents, mainly with immediate combat power, mainly with high cultivation levels, mainly with old age. To put it bluntly, absorb the strong branches of the five continents of the Mountain and Sea Realm, turn them into nutrients, supply this land, and supply the younger generation of this continent. This may sound a bit unpleasant, but you and I know it well. It's just that the Dao Sect is merciful, giving us withered bones in the grave a hope, a hope leading to Soul Transformation longevity, so we are willing to die."
"That Luo Chen child, so young, so qualified. Do you want him to consume Star Gate resources and plunder the spiritual energy of the Central Continent?"
"Therefore, I think, do not pass!"
No one expected that there would be a crack among the Elders from other continents who should have been an iron plate.
The three were speechless for a while, and subconsciously looked at the slender woman.
Dongfang Bai opened his mouth: "In this matter, we only provide suggestions, the real decision-making power still lies with the representative of the twelve giant houses, Zhan Lao, what do you think?"
The person called Zhan Lao had a domineering tone.
"I naturally maintain the concept of the Star Gate and am unwilling to let Luo Chen enter my Heaven and Earth Peak. However..."
As soon as the word "however" came out, Dongfang Bai and the Xiang family Supreme Elder noticed something wrong.
Sure enough, Zhan Lao's tone softened a bit.
"Alchemy Saint, this time, let you make the decision!"
"Zhan Lao!" Dongfang Bai whispered.
Zhan Lao glanced at him, his eyes cold.
The three Elders from other continents secretly laughed, the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, people from the Central Continent don't take it to heart, but you, an outsider, are more concerned than anyone else.
For example, the Xiang family Supreme Elder, at this moment, is calm and composed, following Zhan Lao's lead.
Although I don't know why Zhan Lao suddenly handed over the decision-making power to the Alchemy Saint, the three felt that it was already ten out of ten.
They are all foreign cultivators, I think the Alchemy Saint should pass it generously!
The slender figure spoke leisurely.
"Heaven and Earth Peak, the smell of decay is too heavy."
"It's good to have such a young person join."
"However, Dongfang Bai's worries are not unreasonable. Accepting young foreign talents into the Heaven and Earth Peak violates the concept of the Star Gate. Once this opening is made, it will not only lose the resources of the younger generation of the Central Continent, but also make the top sects of the four continents of the Southeast, Northwest, and Northwest resist the Tianyuan Dao Sect together. Just like when I left the Eastern Wasteland..."
"Therefore, giving him a temporary guest status is about the same."
Temporary guest status?
The three Elders from other continents looked at each other.
Dongfang Bai was stunned, a bit unexpected.
The Xiang family Supreme Elder frowned.
Zhan Lao said deeply: "There is no such precedent."
It is or it is not, where is there a temporary saying?
Chu Yan smiled lightly, "Zhan Lao, didn't you say let me make the decision?"
Zhan Lao was startled, then smiled freely.
"In that case, then follow the Alchemy Saint's words, grant the Wild Loose Practitioner Luo Chen a temporary guest status, and he can enter and exit the Heaven and Earth Peak freely. However, all resources are not open, and he needs to have corresponding contributions to exchange."
"Cave mansion... let's make it A78!"
"Luo Chen, you must be tired today, drinking is here, we won't disturb you anymore."
Facing the resignation of the Fu family grandfather and grandson, Luo Chen agreed happily.
He is indeed a bit "tired".
Seven Elders of the Star Gate, six are late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivators comparable to Moon Loose Practitioner, and one is a Soul Transformation powerhouse about to ascend.
In front of them, no matter how Luo Chen performed neither humble nor arrogant, the pressure was still huge.
If it weren't for Alchemy Saint Chu Yan dispelling the pressure brought to him by others in the conversation, the questions and answers in the Star Gate space would not have been so smooth.
A banquet made him relax a lot.
But no matter how relaxed, it is not as good as practicing quietly for a while in private.
It's just that before leaving, he looked at Fu Qinglan specially.
For this woman, it was a bit unexpected.
Nascent Soul True Persons, he has seen many, each has a majestic demeanor.
This woman can be considered to have some temperament, but that temperament is hard to hang on to a Nascent Soul True Person.
How to say?
There is both the tenacity to be prepared to bear the rise and fall of the family, and a bit of innocent and naive feeling of not knowing the world.
And this kind of temperament, he has seen quite a lot in the Central Continent one after another.
Regarding this, Luo Chen can only attribute it to the fact that this place is too peaceful.
Without the tempering of blood and fire, although the cultivation level of cultivators here is high, they are a bit immature in dealing with the world.
It's like, when he was in the Wan Xian Society, he saw Chang Fengzi and Guan Xiaoping.
Coincidentally, when Luo Chen looked over, Fu Qinglan was also secretly looking at him.
When their eyes met, Luo Chen was calm and composed, but the latter moved her gaze away unnaturally.
"It's a fledgling!"
On the way back to the room, Luo Chen laughed dumbly.
Such a person, if placed in the Eastern Wasteland or North Sea, if he sold her, she would probably have to count the money for him.
With a smile on his face, how could there not be a bit of jealousy in his heart?
Such a person can achieve the Nascent Soul True Person realm?
Two escape lights, borrowing the moonlight, left the Heaven and Earth Peak and flew towards the Lankeshan Mountain Range across the river.
Under the night, Fu Qinglan bit her lip and spoke suddenly.
"Grandfather, is that person really okay?"
Fu Chaosheng, who was in a good mood, suddenly stopped. He was first puzzled: "What is okay or not okay?"
But soon, he reacted.
"Are you doubting your grandfather's vision?"
Fu Qinglan shook her head and said worriedly: "It's not that I doubt it, it's just that this Grand Competition is different from the past. Regardless of the Jin Dan and Foundation Establishment participants in the sect, just the newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators have a full thirteen people. Each of the protectors they chose is either a powerhouse carefully cultivated by the family, or the leader of a foreign sect, a hero. By comparison, Luo Chen is too..."
"Too what?" Fu Chaosheng was furious.
Fu Qinglan took a deep breath and said fearlessly: "Too young. Although I call him Dao Brother, I even feel that he is younger than me. Such a person, can he really protect me in the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven to concentrate on perceiving the true meaning of laws?"
"Young?" Fu Chaosheng laughed out of anger, "When did the cultivation world talk about ability by age? Your grandfather has lived for nine hundred years, and so far is only in the Nascent Soul third layer. Do you think Gu Celebrity Dao Yin, who is less than five hundred years old, is powerful, or am I powerful?"
Fu Qinglan pursed her lips, "It's different, Dao Yin senior brother is a true genius who hasn't appeared in the holy land for a thousand years."
"Such a genius, the Tianyuan Dao Sect has three in this generation!" Fu Chaosheng's words were like gold and iron, his eyes sharp, "And, in my opinion, the Wild Loose Practitioner's ability is by no means inferior to any holy land genius, don't underestimate him."
Fu Qinglan opened her mouth, not knowing why her grandfather had such confidence in that man.
Seeing that she was still half-believing, Fu Chaosheng's anger disappeared.
It was he who protected her too well.
If she went to the North Sea to temper herself for eighty or a hundred years like Liu Yuan, she would know what it means to not judge a person by their appearance, and the sea cannot be measured.
Sighing, Fu Chaosheng threw out a jade slip.
"It was not easy to explain in the letter before, now you take it and see!"
"What is this?"
"It records Luo Chen's battle achievements, big and small. After reading it, you should understand why grandfather is sure that it must be this person."
Fu Qinglan hesitated and probed her spiritual sense into the jade slip.
Slowly, her expression became wonderful.
Middle Jin Dan stage, self-realized the method of condensing Nascent Soul.
Battle of Cold Light Island, killing the same level in an instant, and winning by crossing levels under the siege of several Jin Dan cultivators.
In the Wan Xian Society, a late-stage Jin Dan Great Cultivator was suppressed by him.
By the side of the Sinking Sea, the name of the Demon Lord resounded in all directions.
There is even a feat of suspected killing of Nascent Soul cultivators across borders!
In just a hundred years, without any help from master or family, he condensed Nascent Soul alone.
As soon as he stepped into the Nascent Soul realm, he showed extraordinary ability, Langya took the initiative to make friends, Master Li Tian suffered a small loss, and even Shen Wandou, who came from the Tianyuan Dao Sect, could not grasp Luo Chen's ability.
The name of the Wild Loose Practitioner, although the rise is short, is not as good as the three loose practitioners of the North Sea.
But in terms of the speed of rise and future potential, it is still above the three loose practitioners!
When Fu Qinglan came to the Heaven and Earth Peak Welcoming Immortal Hall again, the resume of Luo Chen in the jade slip kept appearing in her mind.
One by one, one by one, all are telling those exciting and dangerous cultivation paths.
By comparison, the sect competition and family secret tilting that she thought were very dangerous were really too childish.
"No wonder when he looked at me, the emotions in his eyes were so complex. A few points of curiosity, a few points of disdain, and even a trace of faint envy and jealousy."
"Such an existence, being my protector, should be enough."
"However, I cannot let him underestimate me too much. Today,
When Fu Qinglan arrived at the small courtyard where Luo Chen resided, she happened to see an elder from the Star Gate from an outer continent handing over various tokens to him.
Has he become a guest elder of the Star Gate?
However, she detected something amiss in Luo Chen's peculiar expression.
"Daoist Brother Luo, has some accident occurred?"
Luo Chen weighed the jade plaque in his hand with a puzzled look. "Does the Star Gate have such a thing as an 'external affairs guest elder'?"
Fu Qinglan became bewildered as well.
Within Heaven Earth Peak, there are only three types of existences.
Star Gate guest elders, Heavenly Origin honored guests, and Heaven Earth Peak elders.
The former is the simplest; they hold the title of guest elder and can enjoy certain rights and benefits.
As for the so-called honored guests, adding the name 'Heavenly Origin' also implies that the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect will support their cultivation.
As for the Heaven Earth Peak elders, they are quite special; this class of people can participate in some of the decision-making of Heaven Earth Peak, and even the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect.
But she had never heard of an 'external affairs guest elder'.
Understanding it literally, could it be a guest elder specifically tasked with handling external matters?
Seeing that she could not provide an explanation either, Luo Chen did not press the matter further.
"Let's go see my cave dwelling first!"
He gave a carefree laugh and strode out of the small courtyard.
Fu Qinglan hurriedly followed behind.
Unknowingly, she had not realized that she was already letting the other party's way of thinking guide her own actions.
