Chapter 158: The entire Lanyue Sect strengthens! The Haoyue Sect recruits Lu Ming~!
"Master."
"Master?"
The call in his ear gradually brought Lin Fan back to his senses.
"fine."
Lin Fan nodded slightly: "I was distracted by thinking about something just now. What did you say?"
"Um, nothing. I just can't wait to go back and practice magic." Wang Teng scratched his head. He was really impatient.
"Go ahead." Lin Fan looked at him with a rather strange expression: "You really need to become stronger as soon as possible."
"ah?"
“···”
"Nothing, I just had nothing to do so I wrote a story, you can read it if you have time."
Lin Fan took out the book "Blocking the Sky and the Sun" that he had written before and gave him a copy. Then he said, "Perhaps, there will be some special gains."
"Yes, Master." Wang Teng took the Sky-Blocking Sun respectfully. For some reason, he felt that the object in his hand seemed very heavy, like the unbearable weight of life.
But when you feel it carefully, it is clearly as light as nothing.
At this moment, his expression changed continuously.
Even though it was just a book bound with ordinary paper and there wasn't even a trace of energy fluctuation on it, he didn't dare to underestimate it.
"Go ahead."
"By the way, remember not to reveal even a single bit of the Moon Swallowing Immortal Technique."
"Master, rest assured."
Wang Teng reacted: "I know the rules."
"Please Master, set up a soul restriction."
"Okay."
Lin Fan nodded: "After all, although I trust you, I have to be prepared for the worst."
"You won't reveal it voluntarily, but sometimes you can't help it."
"And the Moon Swallowing Immortal Art is the foundation of the Moon-Grabbing Sect, so I can't be careless."
"Master, there is no need to explain. I understand."
Wang Teng immediately opened his soul and asked Lin Fan to set up restrictions.
Regardless of whether one reveals the Moon-Swallowing Immortal Art passively or actively to an unqualified person, the person will die instantly!
After finishing, Wang Teng still felt something was wrong, and said, "Master, I don't think it's right."
"It's not enough to just swallow the moon. We should also set up restrictions on the Artificial Sun Fist, the elementalist's cultivation method, the Qilin method, the ever-changing technique, etc."
"Master, please continue?"
Lin Fan: “…”
"Master, there is no need to hesitate. This is my disciple's own will!"
"in case!"
"good."
Lin Fan agreed and continued to leave restrictions on his soul.
In fact, this is not a rare method.
Simply put, the more important the secret is, the more we must prevent it from being leaked!
Taking an oath is a way to prevent leaks, but it is not reliable enough.
Taking an oath can only prevent leakage subjectively, but objectively, it has loopholes.
For example, swearing to never reveal something, otherwise you will die suddenly.
The person who took the oath naturally could not reveal the matter on his own initiative, but what if he was caught and forcibly searched his soul?
However, when setting the restriction, the other party needs to completely open his consciousness and let down all defenses. During this process, if the caster has other thoughts, the other party will be powerless to resist.
So, this also requires absolute trust.
Wang Teng naturally had complete trust in Lin Fan.
"Don't think too much."
After finishing, Lin Fan smiled and said, "Everyone does this."
"Um."
After a moment, Wang Teng left.
······
The next day, Chen Qingrou entered the sect and became the disciple of the Fifth Elder. The reason why the Fifth Elder accepted her as a disciple was because Qiu Yongqin had previously practiced with the Fifth Elder.
It is worth mentioning that his talent is above the heavenly level.
There is now one more person with whom Lin Fan can share his fighting power and talents.
at the same time.
The five elders went into seclusion and began to practice the Moon-Swallowing Immortal Art with all their might, and would not come out until they succeeded.
"When the five elders come out of retreat, their cultivation and strength should have increased rapidly, and they will be reborn, right?"
Lin Fan couldn't help but look forward to it.
The five elders have worked hard and made great contributions. Under such difficult conditions, their combat power is still first-rate among the third-rate sects. Their own talents are naturally not bad!
What's more, when they joined the sect, the Lanyue Sect was not as awkward as it was when he traveled through time.
At that time, the Lanyue Sect had more choices. Those with poor cultivation and strength were not even qualified to join.
But after I joined the sect, the Lanyue Sect became worse and worse, and there was not even a good set of skills. Moreover, over the years, I was dragged down by various trivial matters of the Lanyue Sect, and the resources were insufficient. I could only fight in the wild, and I had to leave some for the disciples...
Nowadays, there is no shortage of resources for cultivation, and the skills have been directly replaced with the most advanced Swallowing the Moon Immortal Skill of the Lanyue Sect. When they complete the transformation, their strength will surely increase dramatically!
"Then it's my turn next."
Lin Fan closed his eyes: "Or rather, this deity~"
······
"Swallow the Moon Immortal Technique."
Lu Ming sat cross-legged, entered a state of cultivation, and switched to practicing martial arts.
Before, the technique he practiced was also the Moon-Swallowing Spirit Technique.
It's not that everyone is the same, but before this, among all the skills of the Lanyue Sect, the strongest one is the Swallowing Moon Spirit Art.
It was only after the Liu family moved the rubbings from their own Sutra Repository that they had other options.
But by then, the cultivation of Lin Fan and others had already begun to stabilize, and it would be quite troublesome and time-consuming to change their cultivation.
During that period, the elders did not have the time, nor did they have a very suitable method to change their practice, so they just kept going like this.
Lin Fan can create his own martial arts.
But analyzing based on the importance of things, this matter has been delayed again and again.
Until now.
Now that I have acquired the Moon-Swallowing Immortal Art, it will be easier to switch to practicing it, and I will have some time.
In this case, we naturally have to make good arrangements.
"Sure enough, it has many similarities with the Moon Swallowing Spirit Technique."
"No, how can I be like my grandson? It should be said that the Moon Swallowing Spirit Art is indeed a pirated version of the Moon Swallowing Immortal Art. The degree of similarity is extremely high."
"Perhaps, the creator of this technique has also obtained the first few levels of the Moon Swallowing Immortal Technique?"
"Unfortunately, things completely changed after the fourth floor."
"However, it is not that difficult for me to switch to practicing the Moon Swallowing Immortal Technique. As for the risks, it can almost be said that there are none."
"Um..."
"Sharing the talents of all the disciples, I speak with confidence~!"
"However, after careful consideration, it is not difficult to find that the Moon Swallowing Immortal Technique is not the most suitable technique for me."
What kind of exercise is most suitable for you?
Lu Ming didn't know either.
But as he practiced gradually, he found that although the Moon-Swallowing Immortal Art was very powerful and far surpassed the Moon-Swallowing Spirit Art, its compatibility with himself was only between 70% and 80% at most.
“That’s right.”
"After all, it's not tailor-made. It would be weird if it fits perfectly."
"But then again, if that's the case..."
"What kind of technique is most suitable for me?"
Before this, Lu Ming had never thought about this question.
But this did not bother him.
"You'll know after you try it."
The corner of his mouth curled up: "If I don't use my full comprehension, wouldn't that be a waste?"
"Since there are some inappropriate aspects, I will make minor adjustments myself until it suits me best. This way, I can ensure that my strength is maximized."
"Well, let's do it."
"start!"
Lu Ming took a deep breath and immediately started to change his method.
He wanted to be more assertive and just talk about creating a new law.
But not that shameless.
······
Haoyue Sect.
Tang Wu frowned and cursed.
"Let me go find Lu Ming?"
"I think that bastard is not a good person. I have disliked him for a long time. But those elders and even the sect leader asked me to contact and make friends with him?"
"Even the implicit meaning of his words is to make me please him!"
"How can this be possible!"
Tang Wu was very unhappy.
Back then in Zuixianlou, I almost lost all my face.
Moreover, it is obvious that Lu Ming is in cahoots with Xiao Ling'er and others.
But the elders of his own sect asked him to contact, make friends with, and even curry favor with them?
"I think they are getting old and confused!"
"Godfather, what do you think?"
He wanted to gain recognition from the Ice Emperor.
Unexpectedly, the Ice Emperor sighed softly: "The development of the Xianwu Continent is too brilliant, and it is getting more brilliant."
"After all these years, I don't know exactly how many powerful people and cultivators there are in Xianwu Continent, but I think, compared to our time, there must be more!"
"That's why resources are so scarce."
"This has resulted in the fact that, although there are more and more powerful people, there are fewer and fewer powerful alchemists."
"Resources are scarce, and the materials allocated to each alchemist will be reduced accordingly, so there will be fewer and fewer opportunities to practice. In addition, in order to ensure the success rate, the recipes are constantly "improved" and more and more medicinal materials are consumed..."
"Therefore, in fact, over the years, the number of powerful alchemists has become fewer and fewer."
"On the contrary, it is inversely proportional to the development of the Xianwu Continent's cultivation system."
"The immortal path is too brilliant, and there are too many cultivators, which leads to a serious shortage of resources, and gradually leads to this result."
"So, a master of alchemy, especially a great master of alchemy like Lu Ming, is still so young...his talent is truly top-notch in the entire Xianwu Continent."
"If nothing unexpected happens, even in this golden age, he will be the best among his peers in terms of alchemy talent."
After a pause, the Ice Emperor continued, "Now, he is still so young and can refine high-quality eighth-grade elixirs. If he grows up a little more, ninth-grade elixirs will surely be no problem."
"Even a holy land may not be able to possess such a great master of alchemy!"
"Even if I have it, I may not be able to surpass him by much."
"His importance naturally needs no further discussion."
"Although the Haoyue Sect is strong, compared with the Holy Land, it is like the difference between the bright moon and the firefly, and the Haoyue Sect is the firefly."
"Under such conditions, not to mention the personal honor and disgrace of the disciples, even the sect's great hatred can be put aside for the time being."
"As long as we can get such a great master of alchemy to join the sect, Haoyue Sect will have a better life in the next few thousand or even tens of thousands of years."
"The entire sect can also be taken to a higher level because of this!"
"so..."
"I can understand their thoughts."
The Ice Emperor said this very tactfully.
But to Tang Wu, it sounded particularly harsh.
In fact, Tang Wu was not like this originally.
At least in his own impression, he was still quite magnanimous before encountering all this.
But what he experienced these days has changed him a lot.
He thought he was a god-king, but he was abused wherever he went.
This made him become particularly extreme and manic.
"That's what my godfather said."
Tang Wu was extremely upset, but he did not show it. Instead, he took a deep breath and said, "I understand, godfather. I will find a way to contact him."
"I know this is a little hard for you to accept. It would be the same for anyone. You don't have to feel too bad."
"In fact, think about it the other way around. This is also an opportunity for you!"
"An opportunity?" Tang Wu was puzzled: "Father, please tell me more about it?"
"As I just said, the Grand Master of Alchemy is extremely important to the Haoyue Sect. If you can contact him or even introduce him to the Haoyue Sect, it will naturally be a great achievement!"
"The rewards you get will definitely be great. You can even ask them to find your next martial spirit for you!"
"Besides that, when he joins the sect, he will naturally refine pills for the Haoyue Sect. With your current status as a seventh-sequence sect, are you still afraid that you won't be able to get high-quality pills?"
"With the help of high-quality elixirs, your cultivation speed will be faster!"
"Don't forget, you are practicing both immortality and martial arts."
"It's just that what you practice is not the way of martial arts, but the martial spirit system!"
Tang Wu was stunned.
Gradually react.
"What godfather said is absolutely right."
"That's it!"
His eyes lit up and he thought to himself that he was so stupid.
Before this, I was only concerned with anger and jealousy, and felt sour in my heart that I didn't even consider these details!
Why do I reject Lu Ming so much?
He is not his enemy!
At most, it was just a little related to Xiao Ling'er, but strictly speaking, there was no direct hatred between him and Xiao Ling'er. The reason for the hatred was actually because of the order from above~
In other words~
There must be no hatred between him and Lu Ming!
If we put this point aside, it is not impossible to please him.
It's embarrassing though.
Although it would hurt my self-esteem, as long as I could get a third martial soul and eat high-quality medicinal pills like candy beans, it would all be worth it!
"Thank you, godfather!"
"Listening to my foster father's words is better than reading ten years of books!"
"I will set out now to look for Lu Ming."
"We must do everything we can to make friends with Lu Ming and bring him back to the Haoyue Sect!"
"As long as it can be done..."
"The child's strength will increase dramatically. By then, Xiao Ling'er and Long Aotian will be no problem to him!"
"Even, the child can become the Holy Son of the Haoyue Sect!"
"Once you take the position of Holy Son, your child's treatment will be even better!"
"The improvement in strength will also be more rapid."
"One step faster, every step faster~!"
Tang Wu was extremely excited.
As the saying goes, "Once the thought of joining the Communist Party arises, the world will suddenly seem wider."
He doesn't know what it means to join the Communist Party.
But at this moment, I really felt it.
As long as you don't hate Lu Ming, you will suddenly find that there is no harm in pleasing him! It's all good! And there are so many benefits that you can't count them.
“Great~!”
Thinking of this, Tang Wu could no longer stay.
Report to the higher-ups immediately and then set off.
······
A month passed quickly.
In the Lanyue Sect, the second elder Wu Xingyun was the first to come out.
Her temperament became even more transcendent.
He had experienced this kind of change before when he took the rejuvenation pill and some of his injuries were healed. At the same time, his strength increased dramatically.
The same is true this time when he switched to practicing the Moon Swallowing Immortal Art.
The temperament is more transcendent and the increase in strength is more obvious.
The sixth realm!
Although he had only just entered the sixth realm, it was also the genuine sixth realm of destiny!
And with the Moon-Swallowing Immortal Art as his foundation, his combat power is many times stronger than before.
The second month begins.
Elders such as Su Xinghai also came out one after another.
Although they had not entered the sixth realm, their switch to practicing the Moon-Swallowing Immortal Art also brought them a huge improvement, and their cultivation level increased by at least four small realms!
Among them, those with the lowest cultivation level have already reached the seventh level of the fifth realm.
With Xiao Linger's supply of medicinal pills, all five elders are not far from reaching the sixth realm!
However, their talents can only be considered above average.
Except for Wu Xingyun, everyone else will gradually face bottlenecks once they enter the sixth realm.
It is not easy to make a breakthrough.
It takes opportunity.
or...
Massive resources, hard fight!
······
Same month.
Lu Ming "comes out of seclusion."
“It took several months, but it was finally done.”
"It must be that I have this extraordinary understanding, otherwise it would be very difficult to change the immortal method."
"Now, if I give it my all, my strength should not be inferior to Long Aojiao, right?"
"Can you even suppress her?"
Lu Ming's own cultivation has entered the sixth realm, and reached the third level of the sixth realm.
Truly walking ahead of all the disciples.
And if it is opened for sharing by all members, his cultivation will reach above the seventh level, which is not weaker than Long Aojiao.
"With the skills of all the disciples, it shouldn't be a problem to take down Long Aojiao."
"But there's no need for that."
"Exposing all your cards just to compete with Long Aojiao?"
"Besides, she is half of our own now, and is quite useful, so why bother?"
Lu Ming pushed the door open and walked out.
But he found that Long Aojiao was drinking wine not far away, with an intoxicated look on his face.
"Out of quarantine?"
Long Aojiao turned around and smiled, like a hundred flowers blooming.
Lu Ming was so frightened that he trembled all over.
Damn!
It's unbelievably beautiful.
But he is a boy!
"Um."
Lu Ming nodded.
“It looks like a good harvest.”
"I have gained something, but you... um?" Lu Ming raised his eyebrows: "You also made a breakthrough?"
"Of course." Long Aojiao raised her head, her snow-white neck slender, and said proudly: "Do I need to say more about my talent?"
"Besides, with your elixir as a foundation, after several months, I have broken through a small realm. Is that strange?"
She has already reached the second level of the seventh realm.
It seems to be just a breakthrough in a small realm, which is not surprising.
But in fact, it is extremely shocking.
The corners of Lu Ming's mouth twitched slightly.
What is the seventh realm?
Harmony with the Tao!
Mighty!
Only cultivators in the seventh realm are worthy of being called powerful, because this realm is extremely powerful, and at the same time, cultivation is also extremely difficult.
The difficulty is several times, or even dozens of times, that of the sixth level!
An ordinary seventh realm master might not be able to break through to a smaller realm even after hundreds or thousands of years.
Even for a genius, it often takes years or even decades of hard work to achieve such obvious progress.
But you are so stupid.
Taking drugs, he broke through in just two months? !
But after thinking about it, Lu Ming calmed down again.
“That’s right.”
"After all, he is a Long Aotian template. It would be strange if the breakthrough was not fast enough."
Thinking of this, Lu Ming smiled and said, "Great, great."
"Nonsense, if I'm not awesome, who is?"
Long Aojiao stood up and stretched lazily.
At this moment, she was in the state of a queen in black, and her curvy figure attracted the attention of people around her.
At the same time, Lu Ming noticed that almost everyone's attention was focused on him.
"It seems that there are many people interested in me."
He whispered.
Long Aojiao sneered: "Isn't it?"
"Once the name of the Grand Master of Alchemy spreads, you will naturally attract the attention of countless people. Everyone wants to befriend you, no matter if they are first-rate or third-rate forces."
"However, these country chickens and clay dogs don't even look at their own weight. Are they worthy?"
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone in the inn hall glared at him angrily.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Good job.
I just called him good guy.
It’s worthy of you, Long Aojiao.
What's the difference between your behavior and "Don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting you, but everyone here is garbage"?
You're almost pushing me into the fire pit by playing like this~
Lu Ming rolled his eyes, then turned around and said to everyone, "I'm sorry, everyone. No matter where you come from or what forces are behind you."
"I'm not targeting anyone."
"But I am used to being alone, and I have been practicing hard these days. I have no intention of refining pills for the time being. Therefore, I am afraid that I will disappoint you all."
"If anyone comes for me, please leave."
He had already guessed about this kind of trouble before dealing with the Ximen family.
So it’s not surprising.
Moreover, most of these people are reasonable.
They were still in a large immortal city, and they did not dare to take action in public.
"Grandmaster Lu Ming, you are too polite!"
They all stood up and saluted, saying cheerfully, "We naturally dare not disturb the Grand Master."
"Just passing by, passing by."
"Yes, I was just passing by. I didn't expect to meet Grandmaster Lu Ming here. It's really a great honor~!"
"Then we won't bother you any more. I hope we can have a chance to cooperate in the future..."
They are all smart people.
Moreover, the identity of the grand master of alchemy is too transcendent.
No one wants to offend someone until they are sure that they cannot be recruited or befriended.
And they never thought it would be so easy to make friends or recruit them.
At present, the best result is just to become familiar to everyone.
Soon, they dispersed.
Looking at the completely empty lobby of the inn, the waiter was stunned.
Long Aojiao curled her lips and said, "You are just too easy to talk to. They are just ants. Why do you have to be so nice to them?"
"If it were me, I would just tell them to get lost and they would run faster than rabbits."
Lu Ming: “…”
Yes, yes, you are awesome.
Who can compare to you?
Lu Ming ignored her and changed the subject: "By the way, did anything happen during my two months of seclusion?"
"matter?"
"No big deal."
Long Aojiao said: "I don't know the secrets. After all, I don't have my own intelligence organization, but there are many people coming and going in this inn, and I managed to find out some of it."
"The one who deserves the most attention is you."
"Because of you, the Ximen family was destroyed."
"Because of you, many powerful people who were believed to have long passed away have now jumped out."
"Because of you, some old guys who were about to die have regained their vitality and are now alive. Some are even guarding the former Ximen family's territory for you."
"That sad one."
"That shameless old man called your father has achieved a breakthrough and extended his lifespan by thousands of years."
"Old Lady Liu is dead."
"Even though she had the elixir, she still failed to break through. After all, she was too old. Although she had the elixir, unfortunately, she ran out of vitality halfway through the breakthrough and ultimately failed."
“Those people…”
Long Aojiao sighed in a rare expression: "Some succeed, some fail."
"About half of them survived."
Lu Ming was silent, then nodded.
“That’s understandable.”
He was not sad.
After all, there was no emotion involved, it was just a simple exchange of interests, and most of those people were "evil heretics".
The deal is done.
Whether they are dead or alive, what does it have to do with me?
But their deaths made Lu Ming sigh at the impermanence of the immortal world.
Even if he is the pride of an era.
Even if one has high-quality elixirs and success is just around the corner, no one knows whether the next step will be success or failure, life or death.
“This is the immortal road.”
Lu Ming sighed.
"Anything else?"
"have."
"The Hidden Soul Hall has emerged in the southwest region."
"For some unknown reason, this top-notch sect in the Eastern Region has been taking frequent actions in the Eastern Region recently. It is said that they have detained many souls, but no one knows the purpose for the time being."
"Those sects that are not strong enough are mostly in danger."
"oh?"
Lu Ming nodded.
This was not surprising to him.
After all, he had fought with people from the Hidden Soul Hall before.
However, up to now, no one has figured out what the grudge between the bronze guardian and Xiao Ling'er is.
"besides···"
Long Aojiao groaned slightly: "Nothing more."
"Oh, there are many powerful forces that are openly recruiting and befriending you."
"The one that jumped the most fiercely and yelled the loudest was from the Haoyue Sect."
"Haoyue Sect?"
Lu Ming was stunned, then his face turned strange.
"Yes, the Haoyue Sect not only openly expressed its intention to recruit you, but also tried to play the emotional card."
"The emotional card?"
Lu Ming's expression became even weirder.
Good job.
What kind of relationship do you have with the Haoyue Sect?
'The desire to destroy a clan', that is it!
Do you think that when you don't know how to answer a reading comprehension question, you should just write "homesickness"?
"What else?"
Long Aojiao chuckled: "Tang Wu, you should still have some impression?"
"have!"
"The God King!" Lu Ming nodded.
“God King? Is he worthy of this?” Long Aojiao sneered, “But before we first fought, he did call himself the God King.”
"So, you're not wrong."
"Yes, that clown."
"What's wrong with him?"
"He's looking for you all over the world."
"I even spent a lot of money to get someone to spread the word that I'm an old friend of yours and I want to meet you and talk about the future together~"
“···”
When Lu Ming heard this, he wanted to just laugh it off.
But suddenly, his eyes rolled.
"wrong!"
"seem····"
“It works!”
Originally, he naturally had no such idea.
I am the leader of the Lanyue Sect!
The Haoyue Sect would be friendly with me and allow me to join the Haoyue Sect? How much more idiotic must the Haoyue Sect be? Did they get kicked in the head by a donkey? And it was an immortal donkey!
But on second thought, that’s not right!
They don't know their true identity.
Thanks to his perfect disguise, Lu Ming's identity is now completely independent of the Lanyue Sect.
Moreover, he and Lin Fan appeared at the same time more than once.
Although the Haoyue Sect had been slapped in the face several times before, these were all minor matters.
Strictly speaking, his identity did not cause any casualties to the Haoyue Sect. Although there were some contradictions, they were not the type that could not be resolved.
Of course, the prerequisite is that you are a grand master of alchemy.
If I were an ordinary cultivator, they would definitely kill me if they had the chance, without even blinking an eyelid.
But there is no if~!
I am the grand master of alchemy!
They also don't know their true identity.
In this way, these contradictions will naturally become minor ones, and they can be turned into friendship at any time.
So, I can really join them!
As long as you don't reveal your identity, you can even thrive in the Haoyue Sect~
The Haoyue Sect is the enemy that the Lanyue Sect must destroy. If I succeed in getting inside the enemy, wouldn't that mean I know both myself and the enemy? It's very useful!
You can even create conflicts within the enemy.
Hmm~~~
This~~~!
Wonderful!
"But there is also something to worry about."
"That is, if I don't make pills for Haoyue Sect, they will know that there is something wrong with me in no time."
"But if I refine pills for the Haoyue Sect, wouldn't that be aiding the enemy?"
“···”
"What if we compromise?"
Lu Ming couldn't help but start considering the feasibility of joining the Haoyue Sect.
Because there are really many benefits.
But the prerequisite is that we cannot aid the enemy, or in other words, the disadvantages cannot outweigh the advantages!
"Perhaps, I can use training as an excuse?"
"I make pills for them, but I make very few pills and the frequency is very low."
"It is said that I am in the critical period of cultivation and facing a breakthrough~"
"For a cultivator, nothing is greater than a breakthrough. Breakthrough is the most important thing~!"
“Although it takes time to break through, they don’t know my true current cultivation level. With the ever-changing technique, I can hide my cultivation level and pretend to be at the level when I destroyed the Ximen family.”
"This way, I can break through every now and then. At least in the next few years, I don't have to worry about being conscripted and forced to make pills all the time."
"Just open the furnace occasionally."
"In this case... Compared with the benefits I get, even if I give them some benefits, it doesn't matter."
"Don't say that."
"Don't tell me."
"You can really do this!"
"but···"
Lu Ming's eyes rolled around: "If we contact Haoyue Sect directly, they will definitely be suspicious."
"It was so easy to get, it's really nothing."
"But~~~"
"I can make them feel that they spent a lot of money to get me. Isn't that enough?"
soon.
The plan is perfect.
Lu Ming smiled: "Tsundere."
"I have a plan."
"Shall we separate for now?"
“···”
"What's the plan?" Long Aojiao was alert instantly: "Is it dangerous?"
"Don't die!"
Since this was a matter of whether she could regain her male body, she had no choice but to be cautious.
"Don't worry, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"So tell me, what's the plan?"
"It's nothing, actually. I'm planning to join a faction."
"What force?"
"Haoyue Sect."
Long Aojiao: “???”
······
"Latest news!"
"Alchemy Grandmaster Lu Ming publicly stated that he is willing to join a certain force, but the prerequisite is to see the sincerity of that force!"
"He will join whichever major force is the most sincere!"
Soon, the news spread like an 18-force storm, sweeping across the country.
"Are you serious?!"
“It must be fake!”
"It's true. This is what Grandmaster Lu Ming said himself. Now, many forces are actively preparing their 'sincerity' and rushing to Qingshi Immortal City!"
"hiss!!!"
"So, this great master of alchemy will soon be married?"
"What do you mean by beautiful flowers have owners? He is not a woman. But it is not wrong to say so. Besides, isn't this the norm?"
"That's right. Such a great master of alchemy will naturally join a big force! Without the support of a big force, life will not be easy and it will be easy to run into all kinds of troubles."
"Yes, with a big power behind you, there will be people to take care of all the chores, and you don't have to collect all the materials yourself. No matter how you look at it, there are more benefits, right?"
"What else? If not, why can't we see even a Grandmaster of the Dao of Alchemy outside?"
"Even alchemy masters are extremely rare. It is said that they only exist in Zhongzhou."
"Alas~"
"It's just a pity for us independent cultivators. Once Grandmaster Lu Ming joins a big force, it will be difficult for us to have the opportunity to ask him to refine pills."
“···”
······
Lanyue Sect.
After Lian Bo learned the information, he reported it to Lin Fan immediately.
"No problem."
Lin Fan didn't care, he just said: "We have Xiao Ling'er, that's enough."
"In the art of alchemy, she is no weaker than anyone else."
"Besides, we don't have the resources to compete for Lu Ming at the moment."
Lian Bo nodded: "Of course I believe Miss Ling'er, but I don't know who will get this 'flower' of Lu Ming."
"But as long as it doesn't fall into the hands of our hostile forces, it doesn't matter."
Lin Fan said nothing.
Not to fall into the hands of hostile forces?
cough.
I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you this time.
······
Haoyue Sect.
Tang Wu was a little confused.
"He actually publicly expressed his willingness to join a certain force?"
“This is really…!”
For a moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
The good thing is that I don’t have to lick Lu Ming anymore, and my face can be saved.
It's uncomfortable~~~I'd better not lick Lu Ming myself.
Since I didn't get it back myself, the sect wouldn't reward me highly. That means I still have no hope of getting my third soul ring?
Uncomfortable!
"However, if he joins the Haoyue Sect, with my status, I can also get a lot of high-quality elixirs, which is always beneficial."
While Tang Wu was feeling uncomfortable.
Inside the Haoyue Immortal Palace, Ji Haoyue waved his hands and said, "Great Elder, I only have one request!"
"Bring Lu Ming back to me at all costs!"
"Our Haoyue Sect's alchemy has always been weak. As long as we can make up for it, we can make further progress!"
“Superb, so close!”
"Yes, Master!"
The Great Elder agreed, but was a little hesitant: "But, Sect Master."
"What's our bottom line?"
“There is no bottom line!”
"I understand!" The great elder suddenly realized.
With what you said, what should I be afraid of?
"We must win~!"
······
Half a month later.
Qingshi Fairy City, Liuyun Inn.
Lu Ming sat calmly.
Long Aojiao was in the corner, watching quietly, but there was a hint of resentment in her eyes.
At this moment, the rate at which people turned back to look at me is approaching zero!
This is the first time since she was transformed into a girl and put on the clothes made by Lu Ming.
"A bunch of idiots."
He looked at the many powerful people gathered in the lobby of the inn, rolled his eyes, and muttered softly, "They don't know how to appreciate it at all."
"If I were one of them and saw such a beauty in the corner, I wouldn't pay attention to the great master of alchemy."
"As long as my fist is strong enough, in the end, what great master of alchemy will not be of use to me?"
"They are all idiots."
She cursed in a low voice: "You have no vision!"
Even while muttering, she unconsciously stroked the hair beside her ear, and her sitting posture became even more charming.
However.
Still no one is paying attention.
It made her very angry.
······
"It's almost time."
Lu Ming confirmed that the people from the Haoyue Sect had arrived, so he said calmly, "Let's not wait any longer."
"You all know who I am, so I won't introduce myself in detail."
"As for the purpose of your visit, I don't think we need to talk about it in detail."
"I value efficiency and don't like nonsense."
"So let's get straight to the point."
"Everyone is here representing the forces behind you."
"Whether it's a sect, a dynasty, or a family, to me, they are all the same. As long as they are sincere enough, I am willing to join and refine pills for them."
"But, as I said before, I value efficiency and don't like nonsense."
"I don't like auctions either. They're so hesitant. You bid and I bid, then he bids, then someone else bids. It's endless and very troublesome."
Lu Ming showed disdain on his face.
"So I came up with a new idea."
As he waved his hand, a pile of blank jade slips appeared.
"Representatives of all forces who are interested can come forward to take a jade slip and write down their own conditions on it, and then hand it over to me for comparison."
"Whoever has better conditions and is more to my liking."
"I will choose whoever I choose."
"This is the fairest and most efficient way."
"So..."
"Please."
Lu Ming raised his hand and asked them to start.
In the corner, Long Aojiao patted his thigh lightly: "Great!"
"It's so straightforward, I like it very much!"
She stroked her long legs in hi-silk with her delicate hands.
"Hmm... My thighs are even better, so soft, and this silk is so delicate and smooth, the touch is simply..."
When she thought of this, her face suddenly turned dark.
I am a girl now, a girl!!!
How great would it be if I were a man?!
······
As Lu Ming finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
My goodness, you don't even let us say a word!
Just get started.
Are you serious?!
"this···"
"oh?"
"You guys don't want to?"
Seeing their hesitation, Lu Ming was unwilling to give them time to think, and said, "It seems that I overestimated myself and was wishful thinking."
"In that case, let's leave it at that."
"We'll see you later."
After saying.
Lu Ming pretended to put away the jade slip and leave.
"Wait a minute!"
"Grandmaster Lu Ming, wait a moment!"
"It's not that I don't want to."
"I'll take the jade slip right now. I'll take it right now."
"Sorry, I was just thinking about my Taoist partner and got distracted..."
They immediately exploded.
He directly called Lu Ming a non-human.
Those who can come here are at least elders from first-rate forces. After all, they have lived for thousands of years. What kind of scenes have they not seen?
But Lu Ming's actions really opened their eyes and made them curse in their hearts.
"This is forcing me to give a clear account!"
"This is outrageous! This is too treacherous!"
