Chapter 159 Lu Ming enters the Haoyue Sect and receives perfect treatment from the imperial soldiers!
They are all smart people.
I was unable to react for a moment.
But now that he thought about it carefully, how could he not understand Lu Ming's intention?
Why do you dislike procrastination and why do you value efficiency the most?
It's clearly 'greed'!
Clearly wanting more!
Instead of holding an open 'auction' and instead holding this kind of 'secret bidding', isn't this just forcing us to give out all the benefits in one go?
Everyone wants to take you back.
What you call sincerity is actually asking for benefits.
Isn't it just to let me and others give the truth directly by doing this secret bidding?
After all, everyone present is a competitor!
No one is willing to give up, but each force only has one chance to bid.
How can we ensure that Lu Ming is brought back? Of course, we must do our best and offer as much benefit as possible!
But in this case, it is very likely that the normal "auction gameplay" will only require 80% effort to win in the end, but since no one is sure now, they can only put in as much effort as they can.
Not only did he not use 80% of his strength to win, but he actually used 100% or even 110% of his strength.
Then I won’t be at a loss, right?
At this moment, they frowned and their minds raced.
They wanted to discuss and chat with each other.
But think about it.
What the hell!
We are all competitors.
Can you believe what they say?
If you believe it, you will inevitably be led into the ditch.
This conspiracy is so shameless!
They were all cursing in their hearts.
"Why didn't he say so earlier!"
"If you had told me earlier, couldn't we have discussed it in advance?"
"If we discuss it in advance and make a Dao Heart Oath, wouldn't we be able to get it at a low price?"
"Wait, that's not right. He made it clear that he would only choose the one with better conditions and who he likes more. If everyone offers a low price, and he says it's not to his liking, then can he not choose?"
“Shameless!!!”
"But, having said that, although this method is shameless, it works. It really works."
“It can be used as a reference!”
"I learned it, I learned it."
While cursing, many of them said that it was an eye-opener and they learned a lot.
It turns out that auctions can be played like this!
They are all powerful people and great monks. They are either busy practicing or managing their own forces all day long. They do business in a very conventional way. How could they have seen such outrageous operations?
They don't know that in Lin Fan's opinion...
The economics of the Xianwu Continent is a complete mess.
However, this cannot be blamed on them.
After all, they are all simple immortal cultivators, who are devoted to cultivation and value strength. Who would study this stuff?
But I can teach them a lesson.
Lu Ming smiled. Seeing that they were still not writing, he said, "Everyone, time is everything! So, a cup of tea is enough, right?"
You're limiting the time?!
Everyone was speechless.
When they looked at each other, they could see the depression in each other's eyes, and secretly cursed him as a bastard, saying he was simply not a human being!
But they had no choice.
Before they came, their leaders had almost all given strict orders and, of course, had also explained the details.
At this moment, time is limited and there is only one chance.
While they were secretly vigilant, they set up barriers to prevent others from spying, and then began to write their prices on jade slips.
Or because they only had one chance, they had no way of testing it out, much less thinking about doing it simply. The only option was to go all out from the beginning and get straight to the point.
This made them depressed and secretly gnashed their teeth.
But there is no other way, we have to do it one by one, there is no other way.
Not long.
As they gnashed their teeth, all the jade slips returned to Lu Ming's hands.
But this guy is not public~
Instead, he pretended to check them one by one.
This was naturally Lu Ming's little trick.
This way of playing is indeed good, and it can almost guarantee maximizing one's own interests, but the biggest reason for doing so is that he wants to ensure that he can enter the Haoyue Sect!
If it is an open 'auction' - even though I am a human being, not a commodity, if the price is publicly called out, it is almost the same as an auction.
The way auctions work is that the highest bidder wins.
But what if the Haoyue Sect is scared?
Would I go and work illegally for another force?
So, after much thought, Lu Ming came up with this idea.
Because of this, no matter how sincere others are or what their bottom line is, it is useless.
The Haoyue Sect has already been chosen, so it's a sure win~
The reason why I didn't take the initiative to contact Haoyue Sect was to clear myself of suspicion - it's not that I like you, Haoyue Sect, nor do I have any ideas about you, but your sincerity defeated all opponents and moved me.
In order to enter the Haoyue Sect smoothly without being suspected, Lu Ming took great pains.
But at this moment, looking at the conditions offered by these forces, Lu Ming couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”
“Good fellow!”
“This is more worthwhile.”
"Six, six, six, this is even better than the others. It makes my heart flutter."
"The Grand Master of Alchemy is really valuable!"
"I didn't even give any guarantees."
After some pretense, Lu Ming finally picked up the jade slip returned by the Haoyue Sect and probed his spiritual sense into it.
"Haoyue Sect is willing to offer tens of millions of top-grade Yuanshi and the position of a special elder. In the sect, the status is second only to the Sect Master. And unless you are willing, you can only follow orders but not announcements."
"If you need manpower, you can deploy it yourself. Everyone in the sect, including the Saint Girl, will be waiting for the Grand Master's orders without hesitation."
"Secondly, the Haoyue Sect is willing to promise that all the materials needed for refining medicine in the treasury will be open to the Grand Master, and the Grand Master can take them at will! The same applies to the skills and secret techniques!"
"Give the Grand Master a complete set of top-grade Taoist weapons and magic weapons. At that time, the Grand Master can choose by himself."
"If the requirements cannot be met, our sect can go out and find a master refiner to refine it!"
“In addition, as far as my sect knows, the alchemy furnace that the grand master used to refine pills was not very good. Therefore, my sect is willing to give the incomplete imperial weapon Luoxia Xianding that has been treasured for many years to the grand master. Although this cauldron is broken and its divinity has been lost, it can no longer be used in battles, but its alchemy effect has been perfectly preserved!
It is better than most of the top-grade Taoist alchemy furnaces.
Although the Grand Master's alchemy skills are unrivaled in the contemporary era, our sect believes that with the help of this tripod, the Grand Master will be even more powerful. "
Hiss~~~!
"My goodness, the Haoyue Sect is serious about this!"
"I was overthinking it. Even if they didn't use the internal decision, they could still win~!"
How much 'hard cash' would a set of top-grade Taoist weapons be worth?
All the secret techniques and medicine-making materials are at your disposal? !
All disciples are at his disposal, including the saint?
In other words, if I have any special thoughts about their saint, that's fine too???
There are even some incomplete imperial weapons!
Even if it is damaged and its divinity has been completely lost and it cannot be used in a war, it is still an imperial weapon after all. There must be "immortal gold" inside it. If it is handed over to a weapon refining grandmaster, there is a high probability that it can be dispatched, smelted, and the immortal gold can be separated out!
That thing is an essential material for refining imperial weapons, or immortal weapons!
But what really surprised Lu Ming was this.
Because behind these amazing conditions, there is actually another one - "Time is limited, I can't think of too many things at once, and it's difficult to be perfect.
But please believe, Grandmaster, that our Haoyue Sect’s sincerity is unparalleled.
Therefore, in addition to the above conditions, if the Grand Master feels that something is inappropriate, he can also propose his own conditions. Unless they are too outrageous, our sect will agree to them!"
The benefits of this condition are amazing.
Wouldn't this be a great way to make some money? !
Even if you don't consider the point of "aiding the enemy", even if you go to Haoyue Sect to be a hard laborer for two years, refining pills every day, judging from the value, what is the probability that you will make a profit~!
However, it is impossible for a coolie to be a coolie.
It’s other forces.
You guys are a bit too weak.
Not to mention that I never wanted to go with you, even if I had this idea, your sincerity makes it difficult for me.
After reading all the jade slips, Lu Ming smiled faintly: "I have seen your sincerity."
"But I still have some doubts."
"Of course, I'm not negotiating with you. After all, I've already said before that efficiency is my top priority and everyone only has one chance."
"I wonder where the person in charge of this trip of the Haoyue Sect is?"
"Grandmaster Lu!"
The people of Haoyue Sect were overjoyed.
The great elder Gu Qingyun jumped out and saluted: "I am the great elder Gu Qingyun of the Haoyue Sect, and I am fully responsible for this matter. I wonder what Master Lu wants to ask?"
"I will certainly tell you everything I know, and I will tell you everything I know!"
Seeing this old guy being so arrogant.
People from other major forces were all unhappy and secretly surprised.
They boasted that the benefits they provided were already extremely amazing, but now it seemed that the Haoyue Sect was willing to invest more than themselves?
This is definitely a big bleeding!
Gu Qingyun was not too surprised.
After all, I got the permission at all costs, and I have also vowed to get it, so who can compete with me?
Lu Ming chuckled and said, "Your sincerity is very pleasing to me."
"But I have some doubts. I would like to ask Elder Gu for some advice."
"The first is the secret technique..."
"Kungfu secrets." Gu Qingyun nodded: "All the skills and secrets of the Haoyue Sect can be borrowed and practiced by Grandmaster Lu. All you need to do is make a vow not to pass them on to others."
But on second thought, he felt that it was inappropriate.
Not to be spread...
What if someone has a disciple?
It's unreasonable that a direct disciple cannot learn the master's skills, right?
Moreover, he thought about it again.
Since Lu Ming asked, it meant that he had not made up his mind yet, and if he had not made up his mind, there might still be variables.
"inappropriate!"
"I have to relax the conditions a little more!"
他心头一紧，又补充道：“不过，这‘外人’的定义，也是可以商量的。陆大宗师亲传弟子之流，一脉相传，自然不属于外人之列~”
“嘶！！！”
众人皆是倒吸一口凉气。
几乎爆了粗口。
你他妈认真的？
你这话里话外的意思，是要将皓月宗镇宗帝经、无敌法等，都要赠予人家啊，而且还不是赠予一人，而是他那一脉？？？
是，这价值的确还比不过一位炼丹大宗师，可尼玛这也只是条件之一啊！
难怪我们特么拼不过你。
本以为你皓月宗只是准备大出血。
结果这哪里是大出血？
你们这分明是奔着割肉来的啊。
而且是一上来，二话没说直接就在大腿上嘎了一大块肉！
就割呗，你们牛皮。
谁特么能卷过你们啊。
绝大部分在场之人摇头，知道自己大势已去。
这是真比不过啊。
皓月宗摆明了奔着不要命来的。
倒是其中一些‘老人’惊讶之余，却不算太过意外。
“皓月宗···倒也说得通。”
“是啊，毕竟皓月宗···”
只可惜，他们当了一回谜语人，任凭身边之人竖起耳朵、百爪挠心，但他们就是不往下说。
而陆鸣···
麻了！
什么踏马的叫踏马的惊喜？
翻译翻译，什么什么踏马的！叫！踏马的！惊！喜！！！
他本来只是想问问，皓月宗传法的前提，是让自己立下道心誓言、还是要设下神魂禁制不可外传。
如果是前者，自己可以接受。
白嫖的帝经、无敌法，还不止一种，就算自己不学，也可以借鉴嘛！凭借自己越来越逆天的悟性，借鉴的意义，已然颇为惊人了。
但若是后者，那不行。
得跟他们掰扯掰扯。
自己岂能敞开神魂让他们设下禁制？那是对自己丹道大宗师的侮辱~
甚至，陆鸣连扯皮的话术都已经想好了。
可结果，你却来一句，只需要立下道心誓言不可传于外人，且自己这一脉的‘直系弟子’，乃至徒孙，都不算是外人？？？
此时此刻、此情此景。
哪怕是陆鸣，都几乎忍不住想来上一句：“你疯了吧？”
若要再加上一句，那便是：“你是其他势力送到皓月宗的奸细吗？”
这条件，我他妈都不敢想啊！
毕竟一旦达成，自己啥也没干呢，就直接将你皓月宗偷家了，从此之后，你家所有功法、秘术，在我揽月宗都毫无秘密可言了啊！
甚至，还可以借此知晓你宗所有功法、术法、神通之类的弱点，并予以针对！
就如此条件。
我只是随口一说，一个平A。
结果你连大都交了？
陆鸣心中槽点满满，实在是不吐不快。
但随即，他突然反应过来，眼角余光不由看向角落中独自一人生闷气的龙傲娇。
虽然不知她为什么生气。
但这点范围，应该是在降智光环之内吧？
所以···
嘶！
龙傲娇，你真是好人！
我真是谢谢你啊！
见陆鸣陷入‘沉思’。
顾青云第一反应便是力度还不够！
“看来，还有其他势力的条件，让陆大宗师一时间难以取舍啊。”
“不行！”
“我得再添一把火，绝不能让煮熟的鸭子飞了！”
想到这里，他又道：“陆大宗师，其实，这些只是我宗的一部分条件，时间紧急，我宗一时间也没能将自己的诚意尽皆展现出来，还请大宗师莫要怪罪。”
“但，想来大宗师应该还记得最后一个条件吧？”
“老夫愿在此立下天道誓言。”
“玉简之上所有条件，乃至方才老夫口头所言，皆是真实有效，但凡有一句话假话，老夫便身受天谴、承受无尽痛苦、无尽折磨而亡。”
众人：“？？？”
啊对对对。
你牛，你们皓月宗牛皮。
玩儿呗，谁能玩儿过你们啊？
我们放弃了、我们看戏，好吧？
他们彻底无语，一时间，也无话可说了。
虽然惋惜、难受、郁闷，但他们也算是彻底看出来，皓月宗已经‘疯’了。
真比不过。
“顾长老言重了，堂堂皓月宗自然是不会诓骗于我。”陆鸣笑了笑。
众人：“(ˉ_￣)···”
切。
说的比唱的还好听。
这话，人家发誓之前你怎么不说？
臭表脸，好话坏话都被你说尽了！
虽然他们都想争取陆鸣，明面上也都不敢交恶，但是，心底里却早已骂开了。
这陆鸣，当真是‘不当人子’！
正暗暗骂着呢。
却听陆鸣又道：“不过，顾长老，我这人吧，年少之时便突逢巨变，其后的经历，更是一言难尽。”
“虽然我还年轻，但我所遭遇的危机，若是尽皆到来，怕是三天三夜都说不完，甚至都没人愿意相信。”
“所以···”
“我个人很没有安全感。”
“因此，我想了解，皓月宗是否有什么仇敌。”
“我若是加入皓月宗，又是否会有什么风险···”
“必然有！”有人仿佛看到希望，直接插嘴。
顾青云狠狠瞪了那人一眼，这才道：“这个···风险必然是有的，毕竟我等修仙之人，与天斗、与地斗也与人斗···”
“若说没有仇敌、全无风险，那绝对是在胡说八道。”
“不仅仅是皓月宗，在场之人所代表的势力，有一个算一个，谁敢说自家没有仇敌、没有风险？”
“但，老夫与皓月宗却是可以保证，皓月宗的风险很低！”
“虽有仇敌，但无尽岁月过去，那些仇敌不是消失在岁月长河之中，便是一落千丈，真正能威胁到皓月宗的仇敌，可以说并不存在！”
说到这里，顾青云微微昂头。
这不是他吹，皓月宗发展极好，尤其是这万年来，更是一路勇攀高峰，虽有仇敌，但那些仇敌，也只能藏头露尾，暗中使绊子了。
根本不敢正面作战。
“另外，想来如今咱们双方都并不了解，陆大宗师你对于我宗也并不信任，这样，老夫可以做主，让皓月宗上下都发下毒誓！”
“除非陆大宗师你对我宗之人动手在先，否则，但凡我宗之人，主动对陆大宗师你出手者，瞬间神魂破灭而亡。”
“您意下如何？”
我意下如何？
你特么话都说到这个份儿上了，我还能意下如何？
这简直是···
你这简直是要我成为五星上将陆克·阿鸣啊！
我还是头一次发现嘴角如此难压，我把这一生，不，把自己‘两世为人’的苦难想了一遍又一遍都几乎绷不住。
就是咱玩枪战游戏的时候，用阿卡47、乃至‘巴雷特连狙’都特么没这么难压！
憋住。
特么的，憋住啊！
陆鸣桌下的双手悄无声息掐着自己大腿，总算是压住嘴角，尽可能平缓开口：“原来如此，这倒是的确足以证明你们的诚意。”
“但却不知，我若是加入你们皓月宗，需要付出什么？”
“付出？”
顾青云当即摇头：“诶~！”
“陆大宗师何出此言？”
“岂会有什么付出？”
“我开门皓月宗只是单纯想要交您这个朋友而已，并且，愿意拿出丹鼎、药材等，供您修炼、助您更上一层楼~”
“当然，我们也并非是圣人，自然有所求。”
“但我们所求，其实很简单。”
他有些‘腼腆’的笑了笑：“那就是，您在提升炼丹之术过程中，所炼制出来那些多余、以及不满意的丹药，赠予我们一些便好。”
皓月宗高层想的很明白。
正所谓以真心换真心。
我们如此待你，但凡你是个正常人，都不可能太小气吧？
何况，哪个炼丹大宗师会不在乎名声？
我们如此待你，你若是小气了，一旦我们将此事传出去，你名声尽失，有什么好处？
所以，何必提出什么要求？
还不如大气一些~
你想炼丹就炼，不想炼丹就不炼。
但你身为炼丹宗师，总不可能不继续提升吧？
你继续提升，药材我们全给你出了~
而你炼出来的丹药，不可能自己全吃了吧？
你吃不了，总得给我们才是。
不给我们你都说不过去~！
其实。
他们的想法没毛病。
思绪也没问题。
若是没有死仇在先，他们如此真心待自己，陆鸣必然也会给与回报，可惜，没有如果。
也正因如此，他们的‘条件’一出，陆鸣的嘴角更难压了。
甚至，暗自腹诽道：“就这条件，你们特么不让我顺便卖屁股，我都觉得受之有愧、不好意思！”
这条件，就是如此离谱。
这让他想到自己穿越之前，网上流传那些选择题。
譬如——给你一间房，其内拥有一台高配电脑、一台高配手机、一屋子书、一个百依百顺的美女，吃只能用外卖来解决。只要你能一个月不出房间，就给你一个亿···
当时，他的留言回复便是：如果你真给钱，那帮我把美女换成喜欢肛人的壮汉吧，顺便再让我吃几口翔，否则这钱我拿着不安心！
虽然只是玩笑话。
但却可以完美契合陆鸣如今的心情。
简直是···简直了！
不过，抱歉。
我喜欢！
陆鸣笑了，伸出手来：“显然皓月宗最有诚意，我想其余诸位也没有意见吧？”
“希望咱们合作愉快。”
“合作愉快~！”
顾青云大喜！
如何？
老夫说必拿下，这不就拿下了？
他急切道：“不知陆长老，咱们何时回宗？”
特殊长老也是长老嘛！
而且身份是一人之下，万人之上，理论上而言，比自己这个大长老地位更高，自然要客客气气的。
何况，管他三七二十一，先将身份坐实了再说！
“看来你们很急。”陆鸣微微一笑：“既如此，我便随你走吧。”
“我这边无事一身轻。”
“好好好。”
顾青云更是大喜过望。
“请陆长老随我来。”
其后，他直接分开众人：“陆长老，请。”
“请。”
陆鸣随顾青云离去。
留下各大势力之人纷纷摇头。
“这皓月宗，也是下血本了。”
“这哪里是下血本，这分明是割肉！”
“的确。”
“唉，输得不冤。”
“没办法啊，我等就算割肉，也没多少势力能割的过皓月宗，毕竟，他们是一流顶尖，离超一流也不远了，或许就是想借此机会，成为真正的超一流势力吧？”
“可惜，怎么就让皓月宗将人带走了？”
“时间太短，若是时间再长一些，消息传的更远，就是其他几域的势力都会前来争抢吧？如此一来，皓月宗必然无法成功！”
“没有如果，罢了罢了，散了吧。”
“日后，诸位还是莫要随意招惹皓月宗。”
“得丹道大宗师陆鸣，皓月宗更是如虎添翼啊！”
也有阴阳怪气：“那倒也是未必，毕竟，虽然都知道陆鸣是丹道大宗师，但谁也不知，他效率如何，或许，皓月宗便带回去一个烫手山芋呢？”
众人闻言，不语。
心中却都觉着不无这种可能。
因为，据他们所知，林凡就炼出了两炉丹药。
一炉八品合道丹、一炉九品合道丹，八品破虚丹应该也是炼成了，否则，那黄泉真君不会离去。
只是，无法确定。
因为在西门家覆灭之后，那些老家伙便布下各种阵法、禁制，屏蔽了外人感知，让其他人都无法感知之后的情况。
毕竟，陆鸣本身就是‘资源’。
陆鸣对外展露的越多、其价值越高，竞争对手也就越多。
所以，之后陆鸣炼丹的成功率与效率，除当事人之外，谁都不知道。
也正因如此，他们虽然都做好准备下血本，但愿意割肉的，却是不多。
若是都知道了，那才真的是一场‘血雨腥风’。
······
“陆长老，咱们皓月宗风景秀美、别具一格，且人杰地灵，你一定会喜欢的。”
“陆长老，不知你对于洞府有什么要求？我也好派人立刻为你安排，必然会照顾到所有细节，让你满意。”
“陆长老，可需要美女侍奉？我宗女弟子众多，就是天骄也有不少，且圣女还是罕见的阴灵体···”
“咳，若是陆长老你对普通女子没什么兴趣，我宗还有一些送去合欢宗培养的女弟子，且都是处子之身，只需一声令下便可调回来。”
“想来，她们尽得合欢宗真传，就是比之合欢宗那些花魁也是丝毫不差，定能让你满意~！”
陆鸣：“···”
好家伙！
看不出你这个大长老如此浓眉大眼，结果却喜欢这种道道？
而且，你们皓月宗表面上看光鲜亮丽，但实际上，却有合欢宗交换生？
六啊！
可惜，我却是不想与你宗弟子产生如此因果。
他摆摆手：“我喜欢清净。”
“至于洞府，也是如此，只要清净便好。”
顾青云一愣，连忙改口：“是老夫孟浪了，清净···嗯，陆长老放心，我这便联系人安排。”
他立刻取出传音玉符将此事吩咐下去。
随即，正要开口，陆鸣却抢先一步，道：“不知唐武道友近来可好？”
顾青云面色一喜，还真与唐武有关系？
那不更妙了么？
“自然是极好的，唐武目前已是我宗第七序列，前途无量。”
“陆长老你，与他有旧？”
“明知故问。”陆鸣呵呵一笑。
顾青云也不尴尬，笑道：“非也非也，此事我倒是确实不知，不过，陆长老若是与唐武乃旧识，那也是好事！”
“岂止是旧识？”
“我们那可是老相识了，关系极好，日后你就知道了。”
陆鸣笑容灿烂。
岂止是有交情啊~
只要在你们皓月宗，唐神王就是我的亲亲好宝贝！
同时拥有我们卧龙凤雏两个反骨仔，你皓月宗已然是取死有道，想活都难呐！
我正愁唐神王不够给力，几年下来都没能让你们皓月宗伤筋动骨呢，结果你们竟然如此上道，花高价把我也给请进来~
咳，那可就不能怪我了。
待我进皓月宗之后，必然得给唐神王加把劲儿。
“不过话说回来，唐神王的路，也完全变了啊。”
“若是没有我~~~”
陆鸣不由陷入沉思。
他不清楚自己是不是‘主角’，也不知道自己命格如何，但自己作为穿越者，却绝对是一个变数！
王腾因自己而改变命运。
唐神王同样如此。
若是没遇到自己，唐神王会如何发展？
或许，会如原本的故事线一般正常成长，做一个他自己认为三观极正，实则却是令无数人厌恶的‘主角’吧？
若是细说，那就应该在揽月宗的惊喜之中拜入揽月宗，然后吃里扒外将揽月宗给坑没了，接着去其他地方浪？
同时，他也不会一路被虐，导致这么快就接连暴露本性吧？
“时也命也。”
“不过，从现在开始，咱们就是好兄弟了。”
“唐神王你放心，你的甜头，马上就到辣~！”
“···”
······
皓月宗很是宏伟。
波澜壮阔。
两万座灵山蔓延开来，哪怕是如今的陆鸣将神识全力散开，也无法将之尽皆笼罩。
“恭迎陆长老入宗！”
刚一踏足皓月宗地界，便听山呼海啸一般的呼喝声传来，皓月宗诸多高层携核心弟子一同迎接，给足了面子。
“太客气。”
“各位太客气了。”
“无需如此，无需如此啊~！”
陆鸣也是颇为‘懂事’，连忙表示不必如此：“大家忙自己的便是，真不必如此。”
“要的，要的！”
姬皓月哈哈笑着，上前：“陆长老，介绍一下，我便是当代宗主：姬皓月。”
“原来是宗主。”
陆鸣一惊，随即道：“宗主以皓月为名，与宗同名，莫非是···创教祖师？！”
“额？”
姬皓月一愣，随即打着哈哈，笑道：“陆长老误会了，我并非是创教祖师，只是我们皓月宗有个不成文的规矩。”
“那便是，历代第一序列确定将接任宗主之位时，便会得上任宗主赐名皓月。”
“因此，每一代宗主都名为皓月，只是名称不同罢了。”
“原来如此！”
陆鸣恍然。
吓我一跳。
还以为是创教祖师！
“来来来，我与你介绍一番。”
姬皓月极为热情，拉着陆鸣，为他介绍宗内重要人员。
“大长老顾青云你们已然相识了，这位是二长老···”
“三长老···”
“此乃我宗圣子，吕志才。”
“圣女温如玉。”
“第七序列唐武，据大长老说，陆长老你与唐武乃是旧识？这是好事，你们可要多亲近亲近才是。”
唐武连忙露出笑容。
虽然这笑容有些违心，但至少表面上看不出任何端倪，他笑容灿烂，好似老友相聚，却又因时机不合适而未曾上前拥抱···
演技极好。
只是，他心里有点慌。
因为自己跟陆鸣可没任何‘好关系’，甚至连话都没说上两句。
认识归认识，但在此之前却属于不同阵营。
自己此刻装出来的模样，若是被他当众拆穿···
但他却未曾想到，在自己忐忑的目光之中，陆鸣竟然回以温和笑意，更是道：“的确是老相识了。”
“唐道友，许久不见风采依旧啊，不，应当说是更胜往昔了。”
吕志才与温如玉两人微微皱眉。
醉仙楼之事他们倒是知道，但却并不知晓在那之前唐武是否就已经与陆鸣相识，因此，也唯有静静看着，不曾开口。
“道友客气了，你才是震动天下、闻名遐迩啊！”
“分别不久，再见之时，你却已是我宗长老，佩服、佩服！”
“日后，我都得叫你一声长辈了。”
“客气客气，哪里的话？”
“你我当日一见如故，自然是依旧要兄弟相称。”
陆鸣突如其来的‘兄弟’二字，将唐武整懵，但随即，他反应过来：“既然陆兄时至今日都不曾看轻我唐武，那我便却之不恭了。”
“好兄弟！”
“好大哥！”
“···”
见两人久别重逢、兄恭弟谦、和谐无比的场景，姬皓月、顾青云等皓月宗高层都笑了。
好事儿！
好事儿啊！
他们两人关系如此之好，这是什么？
羁绊！
With such a bond and cause and effect, wouldn't the relationship between Lu Ming, the great master of alchemy, and his family be taken to a higher level?
They had no suspicion of him at all.
But Tang Wu was completely confused, with a mind full of question marks.
Seeing Lu Ming's friendly smile, he became particularly alert.
"Godfather, tell me... why is this happening?"
He couldn't help but be alert.
The relationship between him and Lu Ming was clearly more bad than good.
He almost killed Xiao Ling'er. Before that, Lu Ming and Xiao Ling'er had always had a good relationship and even participated in the Tianjiao Gathering together.
Logically speaking, even if Lu Ming was not targeting him, he could at most be considered a stranger they met by chance, right?
But at this moment, he was so proactive in calling me his brother???
There is definitely a problem!
"I don't know either." The Ice Emperor was also a little puzzled. This was indeed irrational, but then he thought about it and said, "Maybe he wanted to do it for others to see?"
"Do it for others to see?"
"right."
The Ice Emperor's thoughts became clearer: "He just entered the Haoyue Sect, and he must have wanted to gain trust, so he took the initiative to show his friendship with you. After all, you are a seventh sequence. If he makes friends with you, he will be more trustworthy."
"And in the entire Haoyue Sect, perhaps the most suitable person is you."
“So, he’s also gambling.”
"Bet you won't expose him!"
"So that makes sense!"
Tang Wu suddenly calmed down and smiled even more: "In this way, I might be able to take this opportunity to gain some benefits from him~!"
“···”
······
After a round of greetings.
Ji Haoyue personally took Lu Ming to his residence.
"This is the first peak of the Immortal Medicine Garden!"
"From now on, this will be Elder Lu's residence, and the cave will be on the top of the mountain."
"Immortal Medicine Garden?" Lu Ming asked in surprise, "Is there any immortal medicine in it?"
“There used to be.”
“But later, a certain ancestor made an elixir for him and he took it and ascended to heaven.” Ji Haoyue said with some regret: “It’s a pity that the ancestor’s alchemy was quite ordinary.”
"If I could have kept that immortal medicine until now..."
He secretly thought it was a pity.
If it is left to Lu Ming to practice, and he reaches a higher level in the future and refines high-quality elixirs, with my status, I should be able to get one or two, right?
If I could take the magic pill, how bright would my future be?
Now, we can only settle for the second best.
However, Lu Ming has such talent at such a young age. If he is trained properly, he will also have countless benefits.
He has a bright smile.
"That's not bad either."
Lu Ming sighed, and then he felt a pure spiritual energy coming towards him, which was almost as good as the feeling when he first entered the Holy Land of Hundred Flowers.
"Such a rich spiritual energy!"
He was surprised.
Ji Haoyue smiled faintly: "After all, it was once the Immortal Medicine Garden. Back then, in order to cultivate immortal medicine, our ancestors almost exhausted all the strength of the sect to select the sacred mountain with the richest Yuanling Qi and set up the strongest spirit gathering formation we could!"
"Even though there are no immortal medicines now, it is still the place with the most abundant Yuanling Qi in our entire Haoyue Sect. It is even stronger than our Haoyue Immortal Palace."
"Moreover, it perfectly meets your requirements, Elder Lu."
“Pure!”
"How can I feel embarrassed about that?" Lu Ming smiled slightly and rubbed his hands.
"Just stay here with confidence!"
Ji Haoyue then waved his hand.
A token and an ancient and somewhat broken bronze tripod emerged.
"This is your token, Elder Lu. With this token, you can go anywhere in the entire Haoyue Sect except for the forbidden areas, and the token can prove your identity!"
"As long as it is needed for alchemy, all the disciples of our sect are at your disposal."
After handing the token to Lu Ming, he looked at the broken bronze tripod again and sighed softly: "As for this tripod...it is the Luoxia Immortal Tripod."
Lu Ming's eyes couldn't help but wander over it.
Although it is badly damaged and its divinity has been completely lost, it is still a magical weapon after all.
Also known as the Emperor's Army!
