When they realized it was the Shennong Ding, everyone didn't know what to say for a moment.
The head of Xuandu was shocked at first, but immediately turned into ecstasy after he realized what was going on.
The elders were extremely depressed. Elder Miao Ling, for example, wished he could cover his face and leave immediately.
For finding such a sacred object as the Shennong Ding, what kind of reward should the temple give?
Hard to say.
Generally speaking, rewards and efforts should be equal. Since the two immortals Jingyun and Dongyou found the Shennong Ding, the temple should at least give them an equal divine object.
However, how could a sect easily take out a divine object of the level of the Shennong Ding?
If the reward cannot be given, then we will capture Elder Miaoling and beat him up, and say to Master Jingyun, this villain is coveting the resources of Tiangong Workshop, and we are now venting our anger for you... Of course, it won't be played like that in reality, but that's the idea.
Not good! We need to get out of this quickly!
At this moment, Elder Miao Ling felt as if he had finally put together a bunch of good cards, and then the opponent directly played a series of king bombs... Let alone winning, he would be thankful as long as he didn't lose too badly.
She was about to speak with a bitter face, when she suddenly heard Taoist Yun Zhen say:
"Vanxiang Immortal, I have something important to report to you!"
Elder Miao Ling's face turned pale immediately, but Taoist Yun Zhen turned a blind eye and just exaggerated what Elder Miao Ling had asked him to do.
For example, they wanted to find faults in the sect protection formation, or question Master Jingyun's attainments in formation formations, or even his lack of correct work attitude, etc. Some of them were hints from Elder Miaoling, and some were just from Master Yunzhen's imagination, anyway, they were exaggerated as much as possible.
As for Taoist Yun Zhen's own account, of course he agreed with it on the surface, but in reality he did not want to interfere in Penglai's internal affairs at all. He just came to take a look after hearing Elder Miao Ling disparaging Taoist Jing Yun.
Elder Miao Ling almost vomited blood when he heard this.
Of course she knew why Taoist Yun Zhen slandered her like this: after all, Yun Zhen had already established his own sect outside, and it was already a vague concept whether he was still considered a member of Penglai.
Miao Ling herself still has the identity of Penglai Elder to protect her, and Taoist Yun Zhen is in even more danger. If Wan Xiang Immortal really wants to prevent leaks, it is not impossible to kill Yun Zhen and beat him to pieces... The reason why Yun Zhen turned against her and accused her was to show his loyalty to Wan Xiang Immortal!
"That's absolutely not the case!" Elder Miao Ling quickly defended himself, "I was just discussing the matter at hand, and I didn't have any personal interests involved. Why is Senior Yun Zhen slandering me?"
The two of them were arguing and accusing each other, while the Wanxiang Immortal and Xuandu Sect Master watched coldly, and the other elders kept their heads down and kept silent. Luo Yan, who was still a little confused at first, slowly came to his senses.
Oh, it turns out someone wants to plot against me!
Looking at Shi Liuli next to him, she had a faint smile on her face, which made Luo Yan understand and said:
"If you doubt my level of formation, that's fine. But if my attainments in formation are really nothing, then Elder Miao Ling's disclosure of this matter is not a sin for Yuqing Temple, but a merit! Don't you agree, Elder Miao Ling?"
Elder Miao Ling naturally did not dare to take it head-on, and could only force a smile and said:
"I am just curious about why the formation has not been repaired yet, so I asked casually. It is not what Senior Yun Zhen said, that you have a problem with Jing Yun..."
"That's easy to say." Luo Yan didn't care how she tried to clear herself, but quickly confirmed the matter and said to Wanxiang Immortal, "I can discuss the Dao with Senior Yun Zhen. If there is indeed a flaw in the attainment of the formation, Jing Yun is willing to bear the punishment."
On the other hand, if Taoist Yun Zhen proves that there is no problem with Luo Yan's attainments in formation, then Elder Miao Ling who rashly questioned it will be punished.
As for what Taoist Yun Zhen would choose, is there any need to say? The Shennong Ding was still standing in the middle of the yard!
Even if Luo Yan said, "I don't understand formations," Taoist Yun Zhen would have to bite the bullet and say, "Young friend is so humble, you must have mastered the art of formations. I guess there's no need to test you any further."... In this bet, Elder Miao Ling is bound to lose!
She was about to speak anxiously, but she heard the Wanxiang Immortal make the decision:
"Well. Let Yun Zhen consider whether it is a false accusation or not."
How did it become a false accusation... Elder Miao Ling was really disheartened and didn't say anything more.
Taoist Yun Zhen felt as if he had been pardoned, and quickly asked Luo Yan a few simple questions about the formation. The latter answered them fluently without any hesitation.
"These questions are too simple." Perhaps because the water was too loose, Wanxiang Immortal couldn't stand it anymore and called out, "Come again."
Taoist Yun Zhen had to increase the difficulty of the questions, but Luo Yan still answered without thinking, and in many places his thinking was out of the ordinary, with a simple and exquisite ancient style.
This made Taoist Yun Zhen feel relieved, so he simply raised the difficulty level to normal, and it still did not pose any problem for Luo Yan.
The matter was thus made clear, and the punishment for the elders was quickly delivered.
Elder Miaoling, for personal gain, arbitrarily framed a fellow sect master, violated the rules of Penglai Sect, and was sentenced to three hundred years in prison. During this period, all his monthly salary from Yuguang Pavilion was revoked and transferred to Tiangong Workshop.
As for other elders involved in the incident, their monthly salary for three years was deprived and the money was transferred to Tiangong Workshop.
Such punishment was actually a bit too severe. Especially for the other elders involved, although they were trying to deal with the matter at hand, Wanxiang Immortal didn't even bother to give them evidence. He just took advantage of the momentum of punishing Elder Miaoling and gave everyone fifty lashes, clearly saying, "You are not allowed to touch Tiangongfang. If you covet his money, I will fine you."
Therefore, everyone was in tears and apologized and left.
Luo Yan was also filled with emotion. Although they were both picked on, the compensation given to him by Penglai was much better than that given to him by Shushan.
However, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense - the one who was looking for trouble with him in Shushan was the Long-browed Immortal!
In a sect, the sect guardian immortal is almost the same as the emperor. Now the emperor has been forced to issue an edict of guilt and return power to the prime minister (headmaster). In the eyes of the Shushan disciples, Lingyunpo has undoubtedly won a great victory.
But in Ling Yunpo's opinion, it seems that the Immortal Changmei didn't suffer any losses, so he should at least compensate himself, such as the Liangyi Microdust Sword? You are not the immortal of the sect anymore, what's the point of having such a good flying sword?
The peak masters and elders who followed the trend and took advantage of others’ misfortunes are now just fawning on me, the Taiyin Sword Master. It’s too easy for them... If I were Su Jian, I would ask them to compensate Qingluo Peak and return all the monthly fees they have embezzled over the years! No, return three times! Ten times!
Oh, the money they paid to apologize and make peace seemed to be much more than this amount...
Luo Yan was just daydreaming when he saw Wan Xiang Xian Ren fumbling in his sleeves, seemingly in pain. He finally pulled out a small seal and handed it to Luo Yan, saying:
"Jingyun, you have done a great job in retrieving the Shennong Ding for Penglai. Penglai doesn't have any good rewards, except for the magic weapon that my master gave me before... Take it and play with it."
Luo Yan took a closer look and was immediately shocked.
This... isn't this the Fantian Seal?
