A few months later.

"Elder Jingyun!"

"Elder Jingyun looks good today. I found a rare item outside a few days ago. Please identify it."

"Ah, so it's a precious material for casting tools? I can't use it here, so why don't you take it and use it."

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that things have value only when they are put to good use..."

After seeing off another Penglai elder who had come to visit enthusiastically, Luo Yan turned around with a look of confusion and asked Shi Liuli to keep the gift that the other party had sent.

"Which number is this?"

"The sixty-seventh elder." Shi Liuli replied, "Now even a blind man can see that our Tiangongfang has risen again."

"I haven't risen yet." Luo Yan said proudly, "I have only formed an infant. I still have a long way to go before I can become a master like Master who is proficient in all types of castings."

"It doesn't matter." Shi Liuli said calmly, "It's easy to master all the schools of thought, but it's difficult to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. After all, the Nascent Soul Tribulation is not something to be tribulated with."

"Now that my husband has entered the Nascent Soul stage, he will have to practice hard for a hundred or a thousand years, and he will not be in danger of dying. The reason why so many elders came to visit you is because they saw this and wanted to make an early investment to get things started."

"I see." Of course it was impossible for Luo Yan not to understand this, but since it was the smart and clever Lady Liuli who was teaching him, he pretended to be suddenly enlightened and nodded in agreement.

"Oh, right." Shi Liuli took out a stack of documents and said, "Take it."

"What is this?" Luo Yan asked curiously.

Shi Liuli looked at him speechlessly:

"My husband has recently been promoted to the Penglai Elder. Next, he will have to teach the outer disciples regularly. Have you forgotten?"

Luo Yan: ...

I really forgot.

Looking back, when he was still an outer disciple, it was because he was caught by Shi Liuli and asked questions during Elder Shi Ding’s class that he finally got the opportunity to join Tiangong Workshop.

Of course, lucky people like Luo Yan are a minority among the minority.

Most of the elders' teaching is simply to complete the task, and they do not pay much attention to these outer disciples who are trying hard to show themselves.

Unless you meet a disciple with exceptional talent... This situation is rare. Because disciples with exceptional talent usually do not choose to come to Penglai; even if they do, their families and elders behind them will have made arrangements in advance and directly assigned a master.

Therefore, most of the disciples assigned to the outer sect are mediocre people who have no power or influence and no talent for cultivation.

Luo Yan certainly didn't want to waste time, but unfortunately this was a task assigned by the sect, so he could only do his job as a routine.

Fortunately, his wife was very considerate and prepared a complete teaching plan for him - most of which were some written materials that were compiled when she taught her junior sister Shi Qing.

After Shi Liuli's summary and text processing, it has become a simple moving lesson plan, and Luo Yan only needs to read it word for word.

Arriving at the classroom, Luo Yan glanced at the outer disciples indifferently and began to teach in a cold tone.

Slightly to his surprise, these outer disciples were unusually well-behaved, and there were no troublemakers who overestimated their own abilities and stepped forward to recommend themselves.

After the class was over, Luo Yan picked up the lesson plan and left without hesitation.

In the corridor outside, he met Elder Buxu who took over the class.

"Senior Buxu." Luo Yan bowed respectfully.

"Jingyun." Elder Buxu wanted to build a good relationship with him, so he stopped to chat with him, "How do you feel about your first class?"

"It's just a routine matter." Luo Yan shook his head. "There are no good talents among these disciples."

"Of course." Elder Buxu stroked his beard and said, "If there really is any good seedling, it usually won't come from the outer disciples."

"But the number of outstanding talents entering Penglai this year is indeed much less than in the past."

"Oh?" Luo Yan asked in surprise, "Why is that?"

“I heard that the Master Chang Geng of Kunlun Taiqing Sect actually formed a baby recently.” Elder Buxu said slowly, “Plus, this year is also the opening year of Kunlun, so many families and sects are eyeing his disciples eagerly, and they can’t wait to send their outstanding children there! Naturally, fewer people come to join us in Penglai.”

"So that's how it is." Luo Yan sighed and said, as if he had suddenly realized something, "It's a blessing that such a great man has emerged among the righteous peers. But Chang Geng is too aggressive, and in the long run, it may not be a blessing."

These words hit the nail on the head for Elder Buxu's subtle thoughts.

It should be known that Penglai has always regarded Kunlun as its big brother. On the surface, it is submissive and obedient, following his lead; secretly, it cannot help but be dissatisfied with the big brother's tyranny and make a few sinister remarks behind his back - these free sarcastic remarks are exactly what the Penglai elders love to hear the most.

"That's right." Elder Buxu agreed, "When the Demon Cult besieged Kunlun earlier, the Guanzhong region even changed hands for a time. It can be seen that the Kunlun Taiqing Sect is no longer as powerful as it used to be."

"Master Ziwei is also a great man of his generation. He is no match for the Demon Cult's Demon Chief Wei, who was able to unite the six paths into one, advancing and retreating together... The fact that Master Chang Geng has conceived a fetus is certainly good news, but I'm afraid that Demon Chief Wei will have a targeted backup plan after learning about it."

Although it was said in a tone of "I'm so worried about Kunlun", there was a subtle sarcasm in it of "Do you think you're that great?" Luo Yan quickly understood it, and cooperated with Elder Buxu to speak ill of Kunlun, and soon the relationship became closer.

After the small talk, Elder Buxu went to give the lesson. Luo Yan was about to return to Tiangong Workshop when he was suddenly summoned by a disciple sent by the head of Xuandu to attend a high-level meeting in the back hall.

In the back hall, several high-level elders have gathered together and are discussing with Master Xuandu about the recent unexpected events: it is none other than the matter of Kunlun Changgeng's baby formation.

Luo Yan listened for a while and realized that because the next headmaster of Kunlun had been confirmed, the number of elite disciples coming to Penglai from all sides had dropped by almost 50%.

For example, Ge Juan, the eloquent girl of the Ge family, had originally sounded out the attitude of the head of Xuandu, hinting that he wanted her to join Penglai... But now he has directly changed his mind and said that Ge Juan herself admired Elder Changgeng very much, so she probably has no chance to join Penglai.

What do you mean by no chance? It was obvious that he saw that Kunlun was full of stamina, so he rushed over to hug his feet!

Penglai and Kunlun are old allies, and their relationship is as strong as that of the Black Turtle and Jiaolong tribes in the Eastern Emperor Realm. Therefore, no one can criticize Kunlun for anything, and they can only discuss how to deal with the problem of the sharp decline in disciples next.

Luo Yan said nothing beside him: It's not that I don't have an idea, but because this idea is really...

He refused to speak, but Xuandu Sect Master spoke for him and said:

"It is true that there are Taoist geniuses in Kunlun. Don't we also have a second-grade golden elixir that has formed a fetus at an amazing speed?"

"Immortal, why don't we use Elder Jingyun as a benchmark and promote our Penglai to the four directions!"

Luo Yan almost vomited blood when he heard this.

Having Lingyunpo is not enough, now they want Luo Yan to compete with Qiu Changtian?
