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!"
His heart tightened, and he added: "However, the definition of 'outsider' is negotiable. The disciples of Grandmaster Lu, who have been passed down from generation to generation, are naturally not considered outsiders~"
"hiss!!!"
Everyone gasped.
Almost burst into swear words.
Are you fucking serious?
What you implied is that you want to give away the Haoyue Sect's Emperor Sutra, the Invincible Method, etc., to others, and not just to one person, but to his entire lineage???
Yes, this value is indeed not as good as that of a great alchemy master, but this is just one of the conditions!
No wonder we can’t beat you.
I thought your Haoyue Sect was just preparing for a big loss.
So how can this be considered heavy bleeding?
You are clearly here to make a killing.
And as soon as he came up, he cut off a big piece of meat from the thigh without saying a word!
Just cut it, you are so awesome.
Who the hell can get past you guys?
Most of the people present shook their heads, knowing that the situation was hopeless.
This is really incomparable.
It is obvious that the Haoyue Sect is here to risk their lives.
Some of the 'old people' were surprised, but not too surprised.
"Haoyue Sect... that makes sense."
"Yes, after all, Haoyue Sect..."
It's a pity that they acted as riddlers. Even though people around them pricked up their ears and were anxious, they just didn't continue.
And Lu Ming...
It's numb!
What the fuck is a fucking surprise?
Translate, what the fuck! Scream! Damn! Surprise! Surprise! ! !
He originally just wanted to ask whether the prerequisite for the Haoyue Sect to pass on its teachings was for him to swear a Daoist oath or to set up a restriction on his soul so that it could not be passed on to others.
If it is the former, I can accept it.
There are more than one free imperial scripture and invincible method. Even if you don't learn it yourself, you can still learn from it! With my increasingly extraordinary understanding, the significance of learning from it is already quite amazing.
But if it's the latter, then that won't work.
We have to talk to them.
How could I open my soul to let them set up restrictions? That would be an insult to my alchemy master~
Lu Ming had even thought of the rhetoric he would use to argue.
But in the end, you said that you only need to swear a Taoist oath not to pass it on to outsiders, and your "direct disciples" and even your disciples' grandchildren are not considered outsiders???
At this moment, in this situation.
Even Lu Ming couldn't help but ask, "Are you crazy?"
If I were to add another sentence, it would be: "Are you a spy sent to Haoyue Sect by other forces?"
I can't even fucking imagine these conditions!
After all, once it is achieved, I haven't done anything yet, but I have directly taken over your Haoyue Sect. From now on, all your skills and secret techniques will no longer be a secret in my Lanyue Sect!
It can even be used to find out the weaknesses of all your sect's skills, techniques, magical powers, etc., and target them!
That's the condition.
I just said it casually, a normal attack.
In the end, you even paid the majority?
Lu Ming had a lot of complaints in his heart, and he just couldn't help but speak out.
But then, he suddenly reacted and couldn't help but glance at Long Aojiao who was sulking alone in the corner.
I don't know why she was angry though.
But this range should be within the aura of reducing intelligence, right?
so···
hiss!
Long Aojiao, you are such a good person!
Thank you so much!
Seeing Lu Ming fell into 'contemplation'.
Gu Qingyun’s first reaction was that the force was not enough!
"It seems that there are conditions from other forces that make it difficult for Grandmaster Lu to make a choice for the time being."
"no!"
"I have to add more fuel to the fire. I can't let the cooked duck fly away!"
Thinking of this, he said, "Grandmaster Lu, in fact, these are only part of our sect's conditions. Time is urgent, and our sect has not been able to show its sincerity in a short time. I hope Grandmaster will not blame me."
"But, I think the Grand Master should still remember the last condition, right?"
"I am willing to swear an oath to the heavens here."
"All the conditions on the jade slip, as well as what I just said, are true and valid. If there is a lie in any of them, I will be punished by heaven and die in endless pain and torture."
Everyone: “???”
Ah, yes, yes, yes.
You are awesome, and you, the Haoyue Sect, are awesome.
Let’s play. Who can play better than you?
We give up, let's watch the show, okay?
They were completely speechless, and for a moment, they had nothing to say.
Although they felt regretful, sad and depressed, they could also see clearly that the Haoyue Sect had gone crazy.
There's really no comparison.
“Elder Gu, you are too polite. The great Haoyue Sect will certainly not lie to me.” Lu Ming smiled.
Everyone: “(ˉ_￣)···”
cut.
It sounds better when spoken than when sung.
Why didn't you say this before he swore?
You have such a shameless face, you have said all the good and bad things about me!
Although they all wanted to win over Lu Ming and did not dare to make enemies with him openly, they had already cursed him in their hearts.
This Lu Ming is really not a human being!
I was cursing secretly.
But Lu Ming said, "However, Elder Gu, I experienced a great change when I was young, and my subsequent experiences are hard to describe in a few words."
"Although I am still young, if all the crises I have encountered were to come true, I am afraid it would take three days and three nights to tell them all, and no one would even be willing to believe it."
"so···"
“I personally feel very insecure.”
"Therefore, I want to know whether Haoyue Sect has any enemies."
"If I join the Haoyue Sect, will there be any risks..."
"There must be!" Someone interrupted as if seeing hope.
Gu Qingyun glared at the man fiercely, and then said: "This... There must be risks. After all, we cultivators fight against the heavens, the earth, and people..."
"It's absolutely nonsense to say there are no enemies and no risks."
"It's not just the Haoyue Sect. Everyone here represents a different faction. Who dares to say that they don't have any enemies or risks?"
"But, I and the Haoyue Sect can guarantee that the risk to the Haoyue Sect is very low!"
"Although there are enemies, over the endless years, those enemies have either disappeared in the long river of time or fallen into decline. It can be said that there are no enemies that can truly threaten the Haoyue Sect!"
Having said that, Gu Qingyun raised his head slightly.
He is not bragging. The Haoyue Sect has developed very well, especially in the past ten thousand years, and has been climbing to greater heights. Although there are enemies, those enemies can only hide their heads and show their tails and secretly trip them up.
They don't dare to fight head-on.
"In addition, I think that we both don't know each other well now, and Grandmaster Lu, you don't trust our sect either. So, I can make the decision and make everyone in the Haoyue Sect swear a poisonous oath!"
"Unless you, Grandmaster Lu, attack our people first, otherwise, anyone from our sect who takes the initiative to attack you, Grandmaster Lu, will have their soul shattered and die in an instant."
"What do you think?"
What do I think?
You've said so much, what else can I do?
This is simply...
You are simply asking me to become a five-star general, Luke A-Ming!
It was the first time that I found it so difficult to hold back my smile. I thought about the sufferings of my life, no, my two lives, over and over again and I could hardly hold back my smile.
When we play shooting games, it's not that hard to suppress with the Aka-47 or even the Barrett Sniper rifle!
Hold it.
Damn it, hold it in!
Lu Ming silently pinched his thighs with his hands under the table, and finally suppressed the corners of his mouth, speaking as calmly as possible: "I see, this is indeed enough to prove your sincerity."
"But I don't know what I will have to pay if I join your Haoyue Sect."
"pay?"
Gu Qingyun immediately shook his head: "Eh~!"
"Why does Grandmaster Lu say that?"
"What kind of sacrifice would that be?"
"I opened the Haoyue Sect simply to make friends with you, and am willing to provide you with alchemy furnaces, medicinal materials, etc. for your cultivation and to help you reach a higher level~"
"Of course, we are not saints, so we naturally have our requests."
“But what we are asking for is actually very simple.”
He smiled shyly: "That is, you can give us some of the extra and unsatisfactory pills you made while improving your alchemy skills."
The top leaders of Haoyue Sect think very clearly.
As the saying goes, sincerity for sincerity.
We treat you like this, if you are a normal person, you can't be so stingy, right?
Besides, which alchemy master would not care about his reputation?
We treat you like this. If you are stingy, once we spread this matter, you will lose your reputation. What good will that do?
So, why bother making any demands?
It's better to be more atmospheric~
If you want to make the elixir, then make it. If you don’t want to, then don’t make it.
But as a master of alchemy, you can't possibly not continue to improve, right?
If you continue to improve, we will provide you with all the medicinal materials~
And you can't possibly eat all the pills you make, right?
If you can't eat it, you have to give it to us.
It would be unreasonable for you not to give it to us~!
actually.
There is nothing wrong with their idea.
There is nothing wrong with thoughts.
If there was no mortal feud, Lu Ming would definitely repay them for treating him so sincerely. Unfortunately, there is no if.
Because of this, once their "conditions" came out, Lu Ming's smile became even harder to suppress.
I even secretly complained: "With these conditions, you guys don't let me sell my ass at the same time, I feel unworthy and embarrassed!"
This condition is so outrageous.
This reminded him of the multiple-choice questions that were circulating on the Internet before he traveled through time.
For example - I give you a room with a high-end computer, a high-end mobile phone, a room full of books, a beautiful woman who obeys you in everything, and you can only eat takeout. If you can stay in the room for a month, I will give you 100 million...
At that time, his reply to the message was: If you really give me money, please help me replace the beauty with a strong man who likes anal sex, and let me eat some shit, otherwise I won’t feel at ease with the money!
Although it's just a joke.
But it perfectly fits Lu Ming's current mood.
It’s simply... simply!
But, sorry.
I like!
Lu Ming smiled and held out his hand: "Obviously, the Haoyue Sect is the most sincere. I think the others have no objection, right?"
“I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation.”
“Happy cooperation~!”
Gu Qingyun was overjoyed!
how?
I said I would definitely get it, and now I have got it, right?
He asked anxiously, "I wonder, Elder Lu, when will we return to the sect?"
Special elders are also elders!
Moreover, his status is second only to the first person and above ten thousand people. Theoretically, his status is higher than that of the great elder himself, so naturally he has to be polite to him.
Besides, no matter what, let’s confirm our identity first!
"It seems you are in a hurry." Lu Ming smiled slightly: "In that case, I will go with you."
"I have nothing to do here."
"Okay, okay."
Gu Qingyun was even more overjoyed.
"Elder Lu, please follow me."
Afterwards, he directly separated the crowd and said, "Elder Lu, please."
"please."
Lu Ming left with Gu Qingyun.
The people from various major forces who stayed behind all shook their heads.
"This Haoyue Sect has also spent a lot of money."
"This is not a bloody loss, this is clearly a loss of flesh!"
"indeed."
"Alas, the loss is not unfair."
"There's nothing we can do. Even if we sacrifice ourselves, not many forces can surpass the Haoyue Sect. After all, they are the top first-class and not far from super first-class. Perhaps they want to take this opportunity to become a truly super first-class force?"
"What a pity! Why did the Haoyue Sect allow him to be taken away?"
"The time is too short. If it is longer, the news will spread further, and the forces in other regions will come to fight for it, right? In this case, the Haoyue Sect will definitely not succeed!"
"There are no ifs. Never mind. Let's just break up."
"In the future, please do not provoke the Haoyue Sect at will."
"With the great master of alchemy Lu Ming, the Haoyue Sect is even more powerful!"
There were also some who were sarcastic: "That may not be the case. After all, although everyone knows that Lu Ming is a great master of alchemy, no one knows how efficient he is. Perhaps the Haoyue Sect will bring back a hot potato?"
Everyone heard this and remained silent.
But I feel in my heart that this is a possibility.
Because, as far as they knew, Lin Fan had refined two furnaces of pills.
One furnace of eighth-grade Hedao Pills, one furnace of ninth-grade Hedao Pills, and the eighth-grade Poxu Pill should also have been refined, otherwise, True Lord Huangquan would not have left.
But, it's impossible to be sure.
Because after the demise of the Ximen family, those old guys set up various formations and prohibitions to block the perception of outsiders, making it impossible for others to perceive what was happening afterwards.
After all, Lu Ming himself is a 'resource'.
The more Lu Ming reveals to the outside world and the higher his value becomes, the more competitors he will have.
Therefore, no one except the parties involved knew the success rate and efficiency of Lu Ming's alchemy.
Because of this, although they are all prepared to invest heavily, not many are willing to cut their losses.
If everyone knew everything, it would be a bloody storm.
······
"Elder Lu, our Haoyue Sect has beautiful and unique scenery, and many talented people. You will definitely like it."
"Elder Lu, I wonder what your requirements are for the cave? I can send someone to arrange it for you immediately. I will definitely take care of all the details and make you satisfied."
"Elder Lu, do you need a beautiful woman to serve you? We have many female disciples in our sect, including many geniuses, and the Saint is a rare Yin spirit..."
"Well, if Elder Lu has no interest in ordinary women, our sect still has some female disciples who have been sent to the Hehuan Sect for training. They are all virgins and can be transferred back with just one order."
"I think they have inherited the true teachings of the Hehuan Sect. They are no worse than the Hehuan Sect's courtesans. I'm sure they will satisfy you~!"
Lu Ming: “…”
Good job!
I never expected that you, a great elder with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would like this kind of Taoism?
Moreover, your Haoyue Sect looks glamorous on the surface, but in fact, you have exchange students from the Hehuan Sect?
Six!
Unfortunately, I don’t want to have such a cause and effect relationship with your sect’s disciples.
He waved his hand: "I like quietness."
"As for the cave, it's the same, as long as it's quiet."
Gu Qingyun was stunned, and quickly changed his words: "It is this old man Meng Lang, Qingjing... Well, Elder Lu, don't worry, I will contact the person to make the arrangements."
He immediately took out the jade talisman for transmitting sound and gave the order.
Then, just as he was about to speak, Lu Ming took the lead and said, "I wonder how Daoist Tang Wu is doing these days?"
Gu Qingyun's face lit up with delight. Is it really related to Tang Wu?
Isn’t that even better?
"Of course it is great. Tang Wu is currently the seventh sequence of our sect and has a bright future."
"Elder Lu, do you have any history with him?"
"You ask even though you already know the answer." Lu Ming laughed.
Gu Qingyun was not embarrassed and smiled: "No, no, I really don't know about this matter. However, if Elder Lu and Tang Wu are old acquaintances, that's also a good thing!"
"More than an old acquaintance?"
"We are old acquaintances and have a very good relationship. You will know it in the future."
Lu Ming smiled brightly.
It's more than just friendship~
As long as I am in your Haoyue Sect, King Tang Shen is my darling baby!
With two traitors like us, Wolong and Fengchu, at the same time, your Haoyue Sect is doomed to die. It will be difficult for you to survive!
I was just worried that the God King Tang was not powerful enough. He hadn't been able to do anything to your Haoyue Sect for several years. But you guys were so smart that you paid a high price to invite me in.
Well, you can’t blame me then.
After I enter the Haoyue Sect, I will definitely help the God King Tang.
"But then again, the path of Divine King Tang has completely changed."
"If it weren't for me~~~"
Lu Ming couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He didn't know whether he was the 'protagonist' or not, nor did he know what his fate was, but as a time traveler, he was definitely a variable!
Wang Teng changed his destiny because of himself.
The same is true for the God King Tang.
How would the Tang Shenwang have developed if he had not met me?
Perhaps, he will grow up normally as in the original story line, and become a 'protagonist' who he thinks has very positive values, but is actually hated by countless people?
To explain in detail, he should have joined Lanyue Sect amidst the sect's surprise, then betrayed Lanyue Sect and ruined it, and then went on to wander around other places?
At the same time, he wouldn't be abused all the way, causing his true nature to be exposed so quickly, right?
"It's time and fate."
"But from now on, we are good brothers."
"Don't worry, God King Tang, your sweet taste will soon be spicy~!"
“···”
······
The Haoyue Sect is very grand.
Magnificent.
Twenty thousand sacred mountains spread out. Even if Lu Ming now spread his spiritual sense with all his strength, he would not be able to cover them all.
"Welcome Elder Lu to join the sect!"
As soon as he set foot on the territory of Haoyue Sect, he heard shouts like thunder and sea. Many high-level officials of Haoyue Sect and their core disciples came together to welcome him and gave him enough face.
"You're welcome."
"You are so polite."
"No need to do this, no need to do this~!"
Lu Ming was also quite 'sensible' and quickly said that there was no need to do this: "Everyone should just focus on their own things. There is really no need to do this."
"Yes, yes!"
Ji Haoyue laughed and stepped forward: "Elder Lu, let me introduce myself. I am the current sect leader: Ji Haoyue."
"It turned out to be the Sect Master."
Lu Ming was startled, and then said: "The sect leader is named Haoyue, which is the same name as the sect. Could it be... the founder of the sect?!"
"Forehead?"
Ji Haoyue was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Elder Lu has misunderstood. I am not the founder of the sect. It's just that we in the Haoyue Sect have an unwritten rule."
"That is, when the first-order person in history is determined to take over the position of the sect master, he will be given the name Haoyue by the previous sect master."
"Therefore, every generation of the sect leader is named Haoyue, just with different names."
"I see!"
Lu Ming suddenly realized.
It scared me.
I thought he was the founder of the religion!
"Come, come, let me introduce you."
Ji Haoyue was extremely enthusiastic and pulled Lu Ming aside to introduce him to important people in the sect.
"You two already know the Great Elder Gu Qingyun. This is the Second Elder..."
"Third Elder..."
"This is our sect's holy son, Lu Zhicai."
"The Saint is as gentle as jade."
"Seventh Sequence Tang Wu, according to the Great Elder, Elder Lu, you and Tang Wu are old acquaintances? This is a good thing, you two should get closer."
Tang Wu immediately smiled.
Although this smile was somewhat insincere, at least on the surface there was no sign of anything wrong. He smiled brightly, as if he was meeting an old friend, but because the timing was not right, he did not go forward to hug...
Excellent acting.
But he felt a little panicked.
Because he and Lu Ming didn't have any "good relationship" and they didn't even say a few words to each other.
Although they knew each other, they belonged to different camps before that.
If he were to expose my pretending in public...
But he never expected that in his anxious gaze, Lu Ming actually responded with a gentle smile and said, "Indeed, we are old acquaintances."
"Fellow Daoist Tang, it's been a while since I last saw you. You're still as charming as ever. No, I should say you're even more charming than before."
Lu Zhicai and Wen Ruyu frowned slightly.
They knew about the Zuixian Tower incident, but they didn't know whether Tang Wu had known Lu Ming before that. Therefore, they could only watch quietly without saying a word.
"You are too polite, my friend. You are the one who is famous and well-known!"
"It has been a short time since we last met, but when we meet again, you have become an elder of our sect. I admire you so much!"
"From now on, I will have to call you elder."
"You're welcome, what are you talking about?"
"You and I hit it off when we met that day, so naturally we should still call each other brothers."
Lu Ming's sudden use of the word "brother" confused Tang Wu, but he soon realized, "Since Brother Lu has never looked down on me, Tang Wu, I will not refuse."
“Good brother!”
“Good brother!”
“···”
Ji Haoyue, Gu Qingyun and other high-ranking members of the Haoyue Sect all smiled when they saw the two men reunited after a long separation, being respectful to each other and living in harmony.
Good thing!
Good thing!
What is it that makes these two of them have such a good relationship?
Bond!
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!
