Chapter 734: Rewarding Merit, Three Generations of Sect Masters
"Ceng Ceng Yilong, you have merit in protecting the sect, and your will is firm. During the chaos, you stepped forward, living up to your father's hopes before he died. I bestow upon you a pair of high-grade flying magic treasures, the Moon-Breaking Wings, and a heavy attack magic treasure, the Ten Thousand Jun Halberd!"
Under the gaze of many eyes, Ceng Ceng Yilong suddenly
raised his head, looking at the figure above in disbelief.
A gentle laugh came.
"Why are you still standing there?"
Ceng Ceng Yilong's body trembled, and he quickly stepped forward, his body half-bowed.
"Thank you, Supreme Elder, for the reward!"
Two streams of light flew lightly in front of him, and Luo Chen's instructions sounded in his ears.
"The Moon-Breaking Wings were personally refined by me over many years; combined with the 'Ninety Thousand Miles' I taught you in my early years, your escape speed will be extremely fast. And this treasure is not only good at flying, but also has significant attack capabilities. I have already cleared all the personal imprints on it; you should take it, drip blood to recognize it as your master, and refine it well."
Ceng Ceng Yilong's eyes shone with brilliance, and he carefully took the Moon-Breaking Wings.
He had watched Luo Chen ask experts from Lin Tianfan City to refine the Moon-Breaking Wings back then, and he had even been gifted a defective pair of wings.
Unfortunately, those wings accompanied him through a hundred years of fighting and finally collapsed on the battle stage.
He didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, a better pair would come!
And this halberd...
Ceng Ceng Yilong subconsciously reached out to take it, and then...
Thud!
With a slip of the hand, the halberd smashed straight into the ground, smashing a hole in the hard blue bricks.
If he hadn't been forcibly gripping the halberd handle, I'm afraid the halberd would have disappeared inside.
Under the gaze of pairs of eyes, his face couldn't help but flush red.
Luo Chen smiled slightly, "Just infuse your own Qi, and then urge it."
Ceng Ceng Yilong suddenly realized and quickly followed suit.
It wasn't that he was stupid; it was just that there were too few weapons specifically built for body refiners in the current cultivation world, and any magic treasure was urged by magic power, so he subconsciously didn't infuse Qi and blood power into it.
As he injected his Qi into it, the incomparably heavy Ten Thousand Jun Halberd was pulled out inch by inch.
The more he pulled, the more excited he became in his heart.
"This halberd is so heavy, so big, so strong!"
"If I master this halberd proficiently, combined with the high escape speed of the Moon-Breaking Wings, I'm afraid even a mid-stage Jin Dan cultivator would be no match for me!"
Luo Chen glanced at Ceng Ceng Yilong, and seeing that he had grasped the knack, he stopped paying attention.
He didn't feel much heartache in giving away these two treasures.
The limit of the Moon-Breaking Wings was not just a high-grade magic treasure, but its growth speed could no longer keep up with him.
The Ten Thousand Jun Halberd was very good, but he was not a pure body refiner; he had previously used it by forcibly wielding it with the peerless giant strength of a fourth-tier physique. It was better to give it to someone more suitable, allowing it to exert even sharper edge.
As one of the two leaders of the younger generation of the Luo Tian Sect, especially since Ceng Ceng Yilong had grown up before his eyes from childhood, he deserved these treasures.
As for the other young leader?
Luo Chen looked with complex eyes at the other man, who had an extraordinary appearance but a slightly melancholy expression.
"Qin Qin Yuanjiang."
Qin Qin Yuanjiang was stunned; he didn't expect that there would be a share for him in today's rewarding of merit?
He stood out with trepidation.
Looking at this face, which had three parts of Qin Qin Liangchen's masculinity and a few parts of Murong Murong Qinglian's handsomeness, Luo Chen sighed lightly.
"It is easy to add flowers to the brocade, but difficult to send charcoal in the snow. That you could defect during the sect's low point and remain loyal for many years shows your chivalrous heart. Today, I bestow upon you three volumes of puppet secret manuals."
"Thank you, Grand Elder."
Qin Qin Yuanjiang bowed and took the three secret manuals, which looked like they had been transcribed recently. Just as he was about to put them away, he subconsciously glanced at Luo Chen.
"Qin Xiaohu, practice well, do not be lazy!"
Qin Qin Yuanjiang was stunned, but Luo Chen had already started rewarding others.
Qin Qin Yuanjiang retreated to the back, and in his confusion, he glanced at the three manuals.
Two of them were indeed puppet secret manuals, with a relatively ancient style, which he thought must be from ancient times.
But as for the remaining one, his pupils shrank, and his heart shook.
"How can this technique for splitting the primordial spirit be so similar to those secret arts in the legends of the Luo Yun Sect?"
He raised his head in astonishment to look at the young man.
The other party didn't care about his gaze at all and was still loudly announcing the rewards for the meritorious ministers of the past hundred years; the treasures brought out one by one also made everyone dazzled.
"Min Longyu, you have exhausted your heart and blood, and have merit in protecting the sect; you are specially bestowed with a God-Sealing Compass, containing three major formations and eighteen minor formations. Also bestowed is a volume of the 'Stone Chamber Immortal Opportunity' formation book!"
"Li Li Yingzhang, you have tempered yourself through hardship, neither fast nor slow, and when danger was at hand, you turned the tide. You are bestowed with a volume of fourth-tier water techniques, several third-tier pills, and five magic treasures: the Xiao Yue Canglan Dharma Robe, the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, the Fire-Avoiding Hood, the Treasure-Dropping Copper Coin, and the Dragon-Raising Basin."
"Yang Pingdu, you are loyal and have merit in protecting the sect. You are bestowed with a volume of fourth-tier earth techniques, several pills, and a set of the Wutu Apricot Yellow Flags!"
Piece after piece of treasure, dazzling.
Name after name, both within reason and somewhat unexpected.
Like Qin Qin Yuanjiang who joined later, and for example, Yang Pingdu, who actually received generous rewards.
However, there were still a few people whose names had not been called for a long time.
Fu Fu Jiusheng was calm, Chu Kui was restless, and Qu Qu Lingjun hung his head, his emotions unknown.
Suddenly.
"Fu Fu Jiusheng, Chu Kui!"
The two subconsciously raised their heads to look at Luo Chen; their eyes met, and some of the ghosts in their hearts vanished from then on.
"Two old friends, Luo Mou indeed did not misjudge you. After I left, you were still willing to protect the sect, unlike that ambitious person Di Di Wuqi."
"In the past, you and I walked side by side. Now, Luo Mou has taken a step forward to achieve the Nascent Truth, and I hope you will catch up as soon as possible."
"Specially bestowed, a set of methods for forming the Nascent Soul!"
Fu Fu Jiusheng and Chu Kui were stunned, their faces full of disbelief.
Methods for forming the Nascent Soul!
Their aptitude is not considered good, their realm is not considered high, and they have no exquisite methods in their hands; Jin Dan is almost the limit of what they can strive for.
But if they had the method for forming the Nascent Soul, who would be willing to eventually turn into a pile of yellow earth after five hundred years?
Two streams of light shot out from Luo Chen's fingertips and sank into the eyebrows of the two.
"Take it and study it well, and make up for your shortcomings. Although your aptitude is poor and your age is long, when your time is approaching, you will eventually have the power to fight for the Nascent Truth. Two fellow Daoists, let us encourage each other!"
With spiritual sense entering their brains, Fu and Chu were in a trance.
Finally, they both bowed deeply to Luo Chen.
"Thank you, Supreme Elder, for the reward!"
"Thank you, Supreme Elder, for the reward!"
Luo Chen smiled slightly, and finally his gaze looked at the child who was hanging his head, as if he had done something wrong.
In fact, he was no longer a child; judging from the wrinkles on his face, he was even older and more weathered than Luo Chen.
But no matter when, in front of Luo Chen, he was still the child who recited the Hundred Herbs Medicine Classic loudly to himself when the snow was filling the sky in the Xieyue Valley.
"Qu Qu Lingjun!"
Qu Qu Lingjun slowly raised his head to look at Luo Chen, his eyes seeming to hold a plea?
What did he want to plead for?
Did he want to be like the others before, to receive a reward, so as not to appear left behind?
Or, did he not want to be rewarded, but instead wanted to be punished, to find peace of mind?
Luo Chen didn't see that plea, but said calmly: "You are my disciple, and you should naturally return to the Luo Tian sect. From today on, the position of guest of the Fairy Fenghua will be cut off, and you will return to the Luo Tian sect walls."
This was the disposal for himself?
Qu Qu Lingjun's whole body shook, and he stammered: "Mas... Master, the Fairy Fenghua Palace side..."
"The Nascent Soul True Person there will naturally be dealt with by me, but the things related to you in the Fairy Fenghua Palace must be cut off by you personally, such as your remarried wife."
"Of course, if you don't want to come back, this matter will end here!"
Luo Chen said calmly.
But in his words, there was already a severity that had never been there before.
Qu Qu Lingjun's expression was confused, and he retreated.
In his life, during the Qi Refining period, he was obsessed with Mi Li; after Foundation Establishment, he originally wanted to emulate his master Luo Chen, but encountered great chaos, and to save the sect, he joined the Fairy Fenghua and became entangled with another woman, Meng Meng Qiner.
Trapped by love, unable to control himself.
With love and righteousness difficult to balance, how should he conduct himself?
Rewarding merit, it seems to have stopped here?
But unexpectedly, Luo Chen suddenly announced another piece of news.
"The second-generation Sect Master of the Luo Tian Sect, Yao Yao Mingyue, took on the task in a time of crisis, managed the sect, presided over the sect's pulse, and ensured that our Luo Tian inheritance was not broken; her great merit is hard to discuss!"
"Today, she will step down from the position of Sect Master, practice by my side, and choose a day to form her core!"
"Li Li Yingzhang!"
Amidst an uproar, Li Li Yingzhang, who had retreated earlier, came out again.
"Disciple is here!"
He seemed to know what would happen, lifted his robe, and knelt directly on the ground.
"From now on, you will be the third-generation Sect Master of the Luo Tian Sect; you must do your best, not let the sect's reputation be insulted, and make the name Luo Tian flourish!"
After saying this, Luo Chen took a deep breath.
Then he slowly pointed a finger at Li Li Yingzhang.
A terrifying power came from the great hall!
Li Li Yingzhang looked directly at Luo Chen calmly, facing that finger calmly.
He only felt a slight heat between his eyebrows, and then it was over.
When everyone looked, they found that on the other's forehead, there was a vivid blue flame imprint, hanging in the center of the eyebrows like a third eye.
After pointing this finger, Luo Chen seemed a bit tired.
He slowly stood up, with Yao Yao Mingyue and Wang Yuan following by his side.
"Li Yingzhang, the things I entrusted to you can start now."
Li Li Yingzhang responded, and after Luo Chen left completely, he slowly stood up.
As he stood up, pairs of eyes moved with him.
No wonder Li Li Yingzhang received the most among all the rewards earlier.
A fourth-tier technique that can be practiced to the Nascent Soul stage, several pills, and a full five magic treasures!
Five magic treasures, ordinary people are difficult to drive, especially since Li Li Yingzhang himself has the Chi Dragon Sword refined for many years; what is the reason for giving him so many?
At that time, people were intimidated by Luo Chen's power and just thought he was slightly biased.
Now it seems that it was paving the way for Li Li Yingzhang to succeed as Sect Master!
Everyone looked at Li Li Yingzhang, but when they saw the blue flame on his face, they subconsciously avoided their eyes, becoming afraid to look directly at him.
Not angry but prestigious, others looking sideways, nothing more than this.
Li Li Yingzhang's mood was incomparably complex.
His grandfather perhaps never thought that he could reach this step!
At that time, he was still worried that Luo Tian would swallow the Li family, and for this reason, he laid out various backhands and negotiated conditions with Luo Chen one by one.
But he didn't expect that the Li family had indeed completely merged into the Luo Tian Sect, but he, Li Li Yingzhang, had become the Sect Master of the Luo Tian Sect!
Worldly affairs are truly wonderful!
Li Li Yingzhang smiled slightly, "The Supreme Elder entrusted me with a task, and I still have to trouble all fellow sect members to help."
Everyone agreed in unison; this was a task entrusted by the Supreme Elder, not a favor, it was just the new Sect Master being polite.
"It's very simple, go to all parts of the Five Domains, invite Nascent Soul True Persons to Baili Baili Qingchuan, to attend the Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony of our sect's Supreme Elder, True Person Luo Chen!"
"Xu Xiaoliu has already taken people to set off for the Fairy Fenghua Domain, and the Supreme Elder has already greeted the White Crane Domain side, so Elder Wang Yuan will make another trip when the time comes. So, there are still three domains left. Send six Jin Dan cultivators, two by two, to go and invite them."
"This is the first grand event of our sect in a hundred years, everyone, do not be lazy!"
At the end, Li Li Yingzhang's speaking speed became slower and slower, but his tone became heavier and heavier.
The cultivators all responded with awe!
"Luo Chen, are you okay?"
"It's fine, it's just a bit draining."
Facing Wang Yuan's inquiry, Luo Chen waved his hand.
The imprint left on Li Li Yingzhang's eyebrows just now was not as simple as it looked.
It contained three things!
One is the divine ability Withering and Flourishing Dao Finger; once unfolded, a Nascent Soul early-stage cultivator would be dead or seriously injured.
One is the Withering and Flourishing Fire Seed, which has no attack effect, but once unfolded, it can turn into Luo Chen's Blazing Heaven Seven-Fold Ring defensive spell, enough to withstand a blow from a Nascent Soul True Person.
Finally, it is a wisp of spiritual sense that Luo Chen split off.
If the first two things cannot protect Li Li Yingzhang, then only Luo Chen can show his face personally and negotiate with the enemy.
Leaving the three together, turning into an imprint, is itself very skillful.
If Luo Chen didn't have the attainments of a fourth-tier formation master now, and hadn't completely mastered the seven basic restrictions, I'm afraid it would be very difficult to do this.
Especially, he also had to guard against this imprint affecting Li Li Yingzhang's practice, so he spent extra effort.
Fatigue is normal!
Luo Chen looked at the woman following behind and smiled slightly: "Yao Mingyue, are you a bit reluctant to give up the position of Sect Master?"
Yao Yao Mingyue raised her head and smiled: "I am a bit reluctant, but you are right, sir; my lifespan is running out, and I should put the Great Dao first! Even if I cling to the position of Sect Master and don't leave, I will have at most forty or fifty years of glory, so why force it."
Speaking of this, she was completely relieved.
However, Yao Yao Mingyue was also very curious.
"Uncle Master, can you really help me form my core? I am only at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment now."
Her master is President Sima President Sima Hui Niang, so naturally she can call her Dao companion Luo Chen Uncle Master, and it even sounds more intimate than Supreme Elder.
Luo Chen said frankly: "In this world, there is never a sure thing. But if you have fifty years of time to practice wholeheartedly, combined with my pills and techniques, and personal guidance, Foundation Establishment Great Perfection is just around the corner. As for forming the core, it depends on your fate."
Yao Yao Mingyue was a little disappointed at first.
But then she reacted!
The probability of Luo Tian Sect cultivators forming their cores is extremely high; as long as they practice that "Dust Origin Technique," there is almost no obstacle when forming the core.
Practicing this technique is extremely difficult, and there are precedents like Xing Xing Zonghan suffering Qi deviation.
But now she has the personal guidance of Uncle Master Luo Chen; as the creator of this technique, he must be very experienced. Not to mention minor success, even major success might not be difficult for her.
It can be said that as long as she, Yao Yao Mingyue, reaches Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, forming the core is a sure thing!
After figuring all this out, Yao Yao Mingyue was completely relieved.
She couldn't forcibly occupy the position of Sect Master; under the current situation, a Sect Master with ability and even more strength is needed to be worthy of the "Luo Tian Upper Sect"!
Li Li Yingzhang, who has a tough personality, handles things steadily, and is exceptionally calm before major events, is undoubtedly the first choice!
Handing the sect to this person, she is at ease.
Handing herself to Luo Chen, she is even more at ease.
Since that's the case, what is there to worry about?
In a few words, Yao Yao Mingyue's knot was gone.
After arriving at the small stone terrace, she entered the cave abode to see her master President Sima President Sima Hui Niang.
And Luo Chen and Wang Yuan stayed outside.
"Brother Wang, everyone else was rewarded, but you weren't; you won't blame your younger brother, will you?" Luo Chen asked with a smile.
Wang Yuan rolled his eyes, "Between you and me, we have never been outsiders. And looking at your appearance, you must have prepared something; just give it to me directly!"
"Hehe."
Luo Chen stacked his hands, and a large pile of things suddenly appeared on the stone table.
Books and bamboo slips, jade slips and iron pieces, all things recording text information.
"These are?"
"They are all classics related to body refining, which I have collected over the past hundred years, covering the North Sea and the Central Plains, and involving time from ancient times to the present. Some of these body techniques have extraordinary power, and I have even integrated a set of 'Demon Lord Seven Scattered Hands'."
"But in the end, I cannot focus solely on body refining and cannot dig into the profound mysteries of these classics; giving them to you might be the most suitable."
Wang Yuan nodded while opening the books one by one, looking at them in a cursory manner.
"'Wind Moon Thunder Cloud Stepping on the Immortal Path', Wind Leg, Moon Step, Thunder Kick, Cloud Shoe. Exquisite body technique footwork, exquisite conception; if fully mastered, one can completely use footwork and speed to smooth out the attack distance gap between oneself and cultivators. Are three moves missing?"
"'Flowing Cloud Seizing Immortal Finger', it has the same effect as the Blood God Tribulation Finger in the God Immortal Demon Three Fingers I created, but it wins in having a domineering and cruel power without any fireworks..."
"'Extreme Mountain Six Styles'? Average, but the attached Extreme Mountain Body Refining Technique is quite interesting."
Watching Wang Yuan mutter to himself, his eyes shining, Luo Chen on the side looked helpless.
He guessed it might be like this.
He originally had another gift he wanted to give the other party.
Seeing the other party immersed in it, he didn't say anything, so as not to distract him.
Wait until it's refined, then give the other party a surprise!
Luo Chen didn't disturb Wang Yuan, walking leisurely on the small stone terrace, thinking about things related to the Luo Tian Sect in his mind.
Sect Master, he had already reappointed one.
Li Li Yingzhang has strength and potential, and even more ability to manage a sect!
Next, is his Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony.
But the main purpose of this ceremony is not to show off his power, but to build connections.
His Luo Chen's connections, his Luo Tian Sect's connections.
Originally, he wanted to return to the Eastern Wilderness and take the Luo Tian sect members directly to the Central Plains.
But the news of the Ancestor Tianyuan Dao Sect starting a war in the North Sea has already arrived, and he also knows the Dao Sect's thoughts.
The Central Plains is "crowded," and resources are almost not enough to go around, so they are launching an expedition to the outer continents.
In this situation, taking the Luo Tian Sect there would only make them cannon fodder for conquering outer domains.
Since that's the case, Luo Chen intends to stay for a while and manage the Luo Tian Sect well. In this way, even if he takes people away, it will be an elite group with enough self-preservation ability.
As for this third thing...
Looking at Baili Baili Qingchuan, Luo Chen shook his head.
The current Luo Tian Sect can't stand much tossing, even if it doesn't grow, it must recuperate for a while.
Low-tier disciples and sect members need to win hearts.
High-tier cultivators, like that batch of Jin Dan cultivators such as Gu Gu Caiyi, also need time to stabilize their realms.
Anyway, just from Luo Chen's glance, except for Li Li Yingzhang and the older generation Fu Fu Jiusheng, the other Jin Dan cultivators all have somewhat floating magic power and unstable realms.
"Exactly, I've been stabilizing my realm recently anyway, so I'll accompany them!" ===== CHAPTER 735 =====
