Chapter 143: My wife praises me as top-notch

Thus, Lin Yang and Jiang Tai Mu were again at Heavenly Dao Peak……

Fishing, drinking tea, soaking in hot springs.

They spent a few days in a carefree, happy life of an old and a young.

That day.

The weather was fine and sunny, with gentle sunlight falling on Heavenly Dao Peak.

Lin Yang lay on the recliner, earnestly studying the Heavenly Dao Pill Canon.

His gaze was fixed on the annotation of a medicine called Return Origin Pill in the canon.

This pill has extraordinary effects; when a cultivator, during practice, suffers demonic disturbance or invasion by external spiritual energy, leading to qi deviation and spiritual chaos.

Return Origin Pill can effectively clear the chaotic spiritual energy within the body, calm the mind, and bring the cultivation path back on track.

Now, his three disciples' cultivation progresses rapidly, but the risk of qi deviation and even qi deviation also increases accordingly.

He therefore considered refining Return Origin Pill for his disciples as a precaution.

However, the medicinal ingredients required for Return Origin Pill are extremely rare.

Such as Spirit Crystal Grass, Blood Sea Flower, Dust-Wisk Leaf, Lion King Bone, and other precious medicinal materials—even the Azure Cloud Sect finds them hard to obtain.

However, in the northwest of Qing Province there is a prosperous area called Three Provinces Land, where commerce thrives and crowds gather; perhaps these medicinal materials are sold there.

Thus, Lin Yang planned to find time to go and search.

Just then.

A streak of light flashed across the sky, followed by a faint figure slowly descending.

The visitor was none other than the Grand Elder of the Azure Cloud Sect, Mao Ping.

Today the Grand Elder wore a splendid outfit, his face beaming with springlike joy, a smile at the corners of his mouth—clearly there was happy news.

"Lin Yang, what are you busy with?" the Grand Elder asked with a smile.

Lin Yang calmly put away the Heavenly Dao Pill Canon and said with a light smile, "Just idly studying the pill formula."

The Grand Elder blinked slightly, then smiled and said, "Oh, you're researching the pill formula—if you have any trouble, just speak up; I'll have the Dan Peak Master come assist you……"

But as soon as the words left his mouth,

He immediately realized his worries were a bit unnecessary—given Lin Yang's ability, he probably didn't need anyone's help, right?

Immediately, he felt a bit embarrassed and said, "If you need anything, I'll call the Dan Peak Master right away to lend a hand."

Lin Yang smiled, seeing through the Grand Elder's embarrassment, and shook his head: "No problem, I'm just casually pondering."

"By the way, Grand Elder, what brings you to Heavenly Dao Peak today?"

"You look full of joy—must be some good news?"

Hearing this, the Grand Elder's smile grew wider as he said, "You're indeed sharp—nothing gets past you."

"I've come to tell you that the Qing Province Grand Competition is about to start; judging by the time, you should set off."

This time the Azure Cloud Sect attaches great importance to the Qing Province Grand Competition; besides seeking glory for the sect, the disciples they send out are none other than its most talented, monstrous geniuses.

Last year's Qing Province Grand Competition saw the Azure Cloud Sect's ranking not good—it almost came in last.

But this time he is full of confidence, sure to make a name, show his colors, and give the Azure Cloud Sect a glorious boost.

Lin Yang, hearing this, was slightly shocked and said, "Oh? It's coming so soon?"

"Then I'll make brief preparations and set off as soon as possible."

The Grand Elder nodded with a smile and added, "However, for this Grand Competition, the elders of the Elder Council—especially the Fifth Elder—are all eager to go; they want to come along. What do you think?"

As he spoke, his eyes involuntarily brightened; in truth he also very much wanted to go, but fearing Lin Yang might disagree, he used the Fifth Elder and the other elders as a pretext to test Lin Yang's opinion.

Lin Yang pondered briefly, then said slowly, "Since they want to go, let them come along—more people make it livelier, and we can cheer on the competing disciples."

"After all, going to Yun City to participate in the Qing Province Grand Competition is naturally also for the sect's glory; a bit of liveliness is good."

Hearing this, the Grand Elder's smile grew even brighter as he said, "Very well, I'll have the Fifth Elder guard the sect while I personally lead the Elder Council to go cheer."

Lin Yang couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head—just moments ago he said the Fifth Elder was the most eager, yet now the Grand Elder has assigned him to guard the sect; the Fifth Elder is likely to cry.

However, he didn't expose the Grand Elder's little thought, and simply nodded in agreement: "Fine, do as you say."

Seeing Lin Yang agree, the Grand Elder's heart also filled with joy, and he asked, "By the way, for this Qing Province Grand Competition, are you planning to have Li Ya Tou, Ye Ya Tou, and Zhou Xiaozi participate?"

Lin Yang shook his head and explained, "This time Zhou Tianming will guard Heavenly Dao Peak; only Li Yilan and Ye Xiaozi will participate."

After all, Zhou Tianming has just awakened his Chaos Sacred Body and needs time to settle and consolidate.

Moreover, his previous life was that of a Great Emperor's Honor; letting him join this Grand Competition would be like using a cannon to swat a mosquito, so he has no intention of letting him go.

"Ah?" Upon hearing Lin Yang's words, the Grand Elder's face showed a troubled expression.

Lin Yang inquired, "What's wrong? Is something inappropriate?"

The Grand Elder replied, "However, the Qing Province Grand Competition requires each sect to send three participants."

"Now, if Li Ya Tou and Ye Ya Tou participate, our Azure Cloud Sect is still missing one person."

Lin Yang thought for a moment and said, "The Azure Cloud Sect's Grand Competition just ended not long ago—let's let the first-place winner go together."

Upon hearing this,

The Grand Elder first nodded, then shook his head, appearing as if he wanted to speak but held back.

Lin Yang, seeing this, asked, "Grand Elder, what's the matter? Just speak up if you have something to say."

After a moment's hesitation, the Grand Elder slowly said, "In this Azure Cloud Sect Grand Competition, the first place is Shi Hao; that brat has always held a grudge against you—if he goes to compete……"

Lin Yang laughed and cut him off, "Grand Elder, how could I quarrel with a junior over such things?"

"Since he's first place, let him go."

"Furthermore, the top ten disciples of this Azure Cloud Sect Grand Competition, as well as the exceptionally talented disciples within the sect, may all go together to Qing Province Yun City to observe the Grand Competition."

"This is also a rare training opportunity for them, beneficial to the long-term development of the Azure Cloud Sect."

"Our Azure Cloud Sect, if we want to advance further, still needs to rely on these disciples."

After hearing this, the Grand Elder's face lit up with excitement as he kept nodding.

He felt moved in his heart and said.

Qingyun Sect is fortunate to have Lin Yang and Luo Wuqing; it is truly a great blessing for the sect. They both devote themselves wholeheartedly to the sect—how could others not strive?

He replied: 'Alright, I'll take care of this right away.'

Having said that.

The Grand Elder clasped his hands in farewell, turned and left.

Lin Yang watched the Grand Elder's departing back, a hint of expectation also flashing in his eyes.

Once, his wife had him come to Tian Dao Peak to branch out and propagate; now he has actually done it.

Not only did he tidy up Tian Dao Peak to look proper, he also took in Li Yilan, Ye Xiaoqin, and Zhou Tianming—such peerless talents.

Of course, there's also Jiang Tai Mu, such an old monster.

His wife went to Zhongzhou Tianjian Sect to break through her realm and hasn't returned yet; he should also proceed to the next step.

The Qingzhou Grand Competition will be an important step for him toward dominating the Xuanhuang Continent.

He has long made thorough preparations, awaiting only to display his abilities at the Qingzhou Grand Competition, so that the fame of Qingyun Sect will resound throughout the Xuanhuang Continent.

Lin Yang gave a faint smile, his heart excitedly indulging in self-praise.

Thus, when his wife returns, she will surely praise me as top-notch.
