"This is absolutely incredible!"

Taking a deep breath, Xu Chengyu finally calmed down.

He quickly looked at the five summoning cards, since the Misty Sect already had the necessary infrastructure.

However, there is still a significant shortage of manpower.

If it's just the Red Fairy Realm, it'll be alright for now.

The moment the fusion card was used, a void gate slowly appeared in the spirit palace.

[Summoning character: Lin Jin, Ninth Rank of Crimson Immortal Realm!]

[Summoning character: Crimson Fairy Realm Rank 9 - Lin Huo!]

[...]

Immediately afterwards, five figures slowly emerged from the void gate, bowing as they approached Xu Chengyu, their eyes filled with respect.

"Subordinates: Lin Jin, Lin Mu, Lin Huo, Lin Tu, Lin Shui."

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

Are these names for real? The names alone are enough to describe the characteristics of these people.

Were they among the first batch of Five Elements Immortal Elders of the Misty Sect?

"The sect's internal affairs will be temporarily entrusted to you."

"If you have any problems, just report them to me directly."

Xu Chengyu spoke slowly.

Just a few words were enough to send a shiver down Lin Jin's spine.

This feeling that struck right to the depths of their souls was truly terrifying to them.

Even just a casual glance.

He took a deep breath, and his expression softened a bit.

"Sect Master, rest assured."

"I will definitely manage the sect's internal affairs well."

"If the Sect Master has no other matters to attend to, we will take our leave now."

Xu Chengyu nodded, and the group slowly disappeared into the spirit hall.

Half an hour later, with a burst of spiritual energy, Wu Junyan finally opened his eyes again.

Nine illusory images of celestial swords appeared behind him, and his cultivation level also increased wildly at this moment.

Body Refinement Realm.

...

Blood Spirit Realm.

...

It only slowly stopped when it reached the ninth level of the Heavenly Yuan Realm.

The sword intent was clearly expressed and resonated throughout the spirit hall.

Feeling the changes within his body, Wu Junyan's expression was filled with excitement.

He had waited far too long for this day.

After so many years of accumulation, coupled with the complete activation of the Nine Tribulations Sword Body.

At this moment, he is only one step away from the Dao Palace Realm.

"Thank you for your help, Master."

"Only now that I have fully recovered, my life belongs to you, Master."

"Even if I die, I will die before my master."

"Don't worry, that day will never come."

Xu Chengyu could naturally understand Wu Junyan's feelings; he had suppressed his emotions for so long, just like he had back then.

Just as he was about to pour more spirit wine, he seemed to remember something.

With a wave of his hand, a phantom appeared behind Wu Junyan.

Upon seeing that Chen Lingling's soul power had been discovered, Wu Junyan assumed that Xu Chengyu intended to take action to resolve the situation, and he became somewhat anxious.

"Master...Master, Aunt Ling isn't a bad person..."

"Could you please not hurt her?"

Chen Lingling knew that with Xu Chengyu's abilities, he must have already discovered her when they were at Youyue Cliff.

A faint, ethereal shadow flickered around her, and Chen Lingling's expression clearly showed signs of panic.

Before she could speak, Xu Chengyu's deep voice rang out again.

"I'll give you a chance, since you protected my disciple."

“Tell me what contributions you can make to the sect, and I can give you a chance to stay.”

"And help you reshape your body..."

These words were spoken.

Chen Lingling was stunned for a moment, thinking she had misheard.

It should be noted that to reshape an ordinary body, one must have a cultivation level above the Red Immortal Realm, and also have a spiritual body as a medium.

Now that she has this opportunity, Chen Lingling will naturally not let it slip by.

Without the slightest hesitation, the spirit body bowed directly in the direction of Xu Chengyu and said:

"S-senpai..."

"In my previous life, I was already a ninth-grade array spirit master, proficient in all arrays below the Void grade. As long as you can give me this opportunity, I will not let you down..."

Chen Lingling's voice trembled slightly.

Out of the corner of her eye, she cautiously glanced in the direction of Xu Chengyu.

Actually, there was something else she wanted to say but dared not voice it.

If the senior is willing, it wouldn't be impossible to let... let her warm the bed.

Ninth-Rank Array Spirit Master?

For the Misty Sect today, diversified development is necessary, and attracting more talent would be ideal.

He had already briefly investigated Chen Lingling's information. In her previous life, with a cultivation level of the ninth stage of the Mahayana Realm, she had already achieved such success in the path of array spirits, which was already considered extremely talented. She still had more room for development in the future.

Xu Chengyu had only a fleeting thought when he considered this.

The Tribulation Spirit Wood instantly appeared in everyone's sight.

The essence of the Great Dao permeates the space.

The chaotic energy surged forth once more.

A seven-colored aura shimmered before my eyes.

As if guided, Chen Lingling's spiritual power quickly entered the wood.

Looking at the constantly reshaping physical body, Xu Chengyu took another sip of the spirit wine in his hand.

The ancient tree of the Great Dao possesses unparalleled vitality, making it arguably the most exquisite vessel in this world.

With this body-shaping technique, Chen Lingling's talent and potential will far surpass that of her predecessor.

Wu Junyan's eyes were full of envy. Although he didn't know exactly how strong Xu Chengyu was, he still envied this ability.
