During this process, Kong Ju saw a fiery look he had never seen before on the face of the Cangwu Sect's most respected ancestor.

"For a master of refining, nothing is more exciting than getting the materials to make mysterious objects. Lei Zun is no exception." Kong Ju thought secretly.

Elder Lei Zun seemed unwilling to delay even a moment.

He entered the attic holding the puppet.

Kong Ju and Huangfu Ying watched him leave until a formation barrier rose in the attic where Lei Zun was, and then they withdrew their gaze.

Then Kong Ju saw Huangfu Ying giving him a look.

He immediately understood.

The two of them left the barrier through the gap left by Lei Zun.

In the outside world, Dongxian had long disappeared.

Disappearing with him were the three poor former hall masters, and their fates were self-evident.

The main peak of the inner gate, Qingcang Palace, inside the study.

On the desk, wisps of green smoke rose from a palm-sized incense burner, and the soothing fragrance filled the entire study space.

Kong Ju sniffed the fragrance at the tip of his nose, with a serious expression, standing respectfully in front of the desk.

Behind the desk, Huangfu Ying looked at Kong Ju with a rare smile in his eyes.

"You were asked to go out and break through the Palm Life, and come back with such a great achievement."

"Tell me, what reward do you want?"

The achievement that Huangfu Ying was talking about was naturally the one that created the black puppet.

There were obviously many loopholes in Kong Ju's words, but Huangfu Ying didn't care about it for the moment.

Just as Kong Ju expected.

Huangfu Ying is a leader who is tolerant and will not covet the opportunities of his disciples.

As long as Kong Ju is focused on the sect, Huangfu Ying can turn a blind eye to other things, even if they are concealed.

Strictly abide by the above point, Kong Ju, as Huangfu Ying's disciple, will only take good care of him.

Thinking of this, Kong Ju's expression relaxed, and he replied half seriously and half jokingly: "I will contribute to the sect without asking for any reward."

How could Huangfu Ying not know Kong Ju's temperament?

Looking at the young man who looked like a fox's tail was swaying behind him when he smiled, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He didn't mention the reward again.

Because Kong Ju and Huangfu Ying who were present knew it very well.

The Cangwu Sect simply could not produce any treasure of comparable value to the Xuan Puppet.

Even the Cangwu Sect is already the largest sect in Wudong.

But the Xianyun Realm is short of inspiration after all, and there is no way to create a Xuan-level treasure.

Even though Kong Ju did not ask for a reward, Huangfu Ying would not really forget about it.

He would just keep it in mind and find other ways to make up for his disciples.

Kong Ju smiled happily because he noticed this.

"Although the two mysterious materials are precious, I am not Thunder Lord, and I cannot refine them from a puppet."

"It would be a waste if I kept it in my hands. Giving back to the sect can also be considered as repaying Lei Zun for his kindness in recognizing me."

"Of course, it's great that I can still act like a good boy in front of Boss Huangfu."

Huangfu Ying tapped his fingers on the desk for a while, and suddenly said, "I heard that you are not only proficient in alchemy, but also quite accomplished in puppetry, and are good at refining puppets with the flesh of a cultivator."

These words made Kong Qi's heart skip a beat.

The fact that he used the body of a cultivator to refine puppets was hardly a secret in the inner sect, and Huangfu Ying must have known about it a long time ago.

Although the people that Kong Ju refined puppets on were all people who deserved to die, that was, after all, an unorthodox way, and somewhat contrary to the philosophy of the Cangwu School, which claimed to be a righteous sect.

Before, Huangfu Ying turned a blind eye and never mentioned this matter.

Now that it was brought up, Kong Ju felt a little uneasy, and thought he was going to be scolded.

Who knew that Huangfu Ying would say something next that made Kong Ju's expression become strange.

"There is another palm-born body in the sect's treasury."

"It will just gather dust if it is kept in the treasury. I will ask Shi Jinchi to take it for you later and send it to your cave. This will be considered as making the best use of it."

Kong Ju could count all the palm masters that the Cangwu sect had fought with over the years.

Apart from the Dingyue Sect, there is only Gexia.

In the battle with Dingyue Sect, the physical bodies of Xiao Yuanshan and Jing Xujun were both destroyed.

The two palm-born bodies of Dingyue Sect were taken by Yaowang Valley to refine a kind of flesh and blood elixir.

After all, the powerful ones have shed their mortal nature, and their bodies are comparable to peerless elixirs.

The palm-born body in the treasure house, apart from the two palm-born bodies of Dingyue Sect, could only be Ge Xia.

Thinking of this, Kong Ju smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Ge, you and I are really destined to be together."

Ge Xia's soul was bound by Kong Ju with the Soul-Calming Bell for a long time, and it was used by Kong Ju to protect him from many disasters.

Now that Kong Ju has just sent Ge Xia's soul away, his body has returned to Kong Ju's hands. Time and fate are really amazing.

Huangfu Ying spoke, and Kong Ju certainly would not refuse, and agreed readily.

Then Huangfu Ying began to talk about the changes in the Xianyun Realm during the seven years that Kong Ju was in seclusion.

Yu Wenkui from Yaowang Valley, Ji Dongxia from Cuijinmen, and Tang You from Moshengzong all achieved the breakthrough to the Palm of Life at the same time five years ago.

Kong Ju's master's wife Bai Ziqing also succeeded in breaking through the palm of her hand.

Hearing these familiar names, Kong Ju just nodded in response at first.

Finally, I noticed some clues.

That is, the number of cultivators who have recently broken through to the Palm of Life seems to have increased a lot more than before.

In the Xianyun Realm back then, the birth of a powerful person would attract attention from all sides.

It was because of the lack of successors in the Palm Life realm that the Dingyue Sect resorted to the Blood Refining Method to forcibly elevate Xiao Yuanshan to the Palm Life realm.

If it was so easy for Zhang Sheng to break through, the Dingyue Sect would not have ended up in disgrace and destruction because of this incident.

However, Kong Ju also roughly guessed why there was such a big change.

"The changes in the spirit of the Xianyun Realm are accelerating!"

“That’s not good news.”

Huangfu Ying then went on to talk about how Tianqi Prince Bai Yuanqi had achieved a breakthrough less than half a year before or after Bai Ziqing.

As he spoke, Huangfu Ying looked at Kong Ju meaningfully.

Bai Yuanqi is the contemporary number one in Tianqi.

Kong Ju is also the first person of Wudong's generation to break through.

The two people represent two different domains, so it is inevitable that they will be compared.

Kong Ju was calm about this, and chuckled, saying, "Bai Yuanqi has the potential to be a human emperor. His outstanding performance is no less than that of the White Emperor in his youth. I am not surprised that he has achieved a breakthrough."

In the battle of Chaodi Ancient City, Bai Yuanqi single-handedly fought against two geniuses from other worlds and finally won.

That battle established Bai Yuanqi's position as the number one person in the Xianyun Realm, and his strength was unquestionable.

Even if Kong Ju had achieved a breakthrough to the level of Zhang Sheng, he was not sure of defeating that man.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Although he has many trump cards now, including the Heavenly Tribulation Soul, and the Immortal Art Ancient Moon Chant.

But Bai Yuanqi is the Crown Prince of Tianqi. Could he have fewer cards up his sleeve than me?

After Huangfu Ying finished talking about Bai Yuanqi, he went on to talk about Yunmo Buddhist disciple Congyun who has emerged recently.

In the third year of Kong Ju's retreat, this unknown monk suddenly broke out.

On the day he came out of retreat, the Buddha's light from the Little Leiyin Temple illuminated a thousand miles away.

The three great Arhats appeared together above the sky.

When the young monk Congyun stepped out on the auspicious cloud, everyone knew that there was such a terrifying Buddhist disciple in the Little Leiyin Temple.

"This kid Congyun." Upon hearing Congyun's name, Kong Ju revealed a hidden smile.

Congyun is a person with third-class luck.

His rise was only a matter of time, and he was not surprised by it.

"I'll go to Yunmo and have a drink with that monk if I get a chance." Kong Ju was even planning to go to Congyun to have a drink.

Huangfu Ying didn't know the relationship between Kong Ju and Cong Yun.

Continue to talk about the rising figures in Xianyun Realm in recent years.

Soon, the information gap caused by Kong Ju's six years of seclusion was completely made up by Huangfu Ying in half a day.

"It's a pity that the time is too short. If we give Xianyun Realm another fifty years, no! Twenty years will be enough. With the help of this wave of spiritual revival, our Xianyun Realm will definitely produce one or two Zaoxuan Zhenren."

"How dare cultivators from other worlds step into the Xianyun Realm?"

Kong Qi was very worried about this.

He could see the situation of the Xianyun Realm, so how could he not see the situation of the other worlds?

They will definitely not give the Xianyun Realm a chance to grow.

As soon as the gate of Xianyun Realm is able to allow the powerful Zhangsheng to pass through, they will definitely come out in full force to completely eliminate the threat of Xianyun Realm and divide up all the inheritance and resources of this world.

Thinking of this, Kong Ju asked the question that he was most worried about: "I wonder if there has been any movement from the other world during the years when my disciple was in seclusion?"

Huangfu Ying tapped his fingers on the table lightly, then looked at Kong Ju and shook his head lightly.

The less news there is, the more unusual it is.

Neither Huangfu Ying nor Kong Ju would think that those guys suddenly changed their nature.

If he doesn't take action, there must be a bigger conspiracy brewing.

This is also what makes Huangfu Ying uneasy.

It also made Kong Qi feel a little uneasy.

Kong Ju was silent for a while, then asked, "What about Xihuang Blessed Land?"

What Kong Ju wanted to ask, of course, was whether Guan Shihua's move had achieved the effect he expected.

He wanted to use the power of Yuting Gate to pry open the door to Xihuang Blessed Land.

Six years have passed, there can't be no movement from Yutingmen.

Huangfu Ying's next words confirmed Kong Ju's judgment.

"In the second year of your retreat, a monk of unknown origin entered the Xihuang Blessed Land."

"He's very good at hiding and escaping."

"If your uncle Dongxian hadn't been watching, maybe we wouldn't have found it."

Speaking of this, Huangfu Ying's expression also showed a smile, with a sly look in his eyes.

"But it was still difficult for him to enter Xihuang Paradise and escape unscathed with his abilities. He almost died in there."

"It was your Master Dongxian who secretly helped save his life."

Kong Ju immediately understood what Huangfu Ying meant, and smiled, sighing from the bottom of his heart: "Master is still thoughtful."

The person who could enter Xihuang blessed land must have the token in his hand.

His identity is self-evident. He is most likely a cultivator from the Yuting Sect who came to explore the way.

Dongxian did not take action to save him, but to let him bring the news back to Yutingmen.

Provide first-hand intelligence for Yutingmen’s next actions.

"If you want to fish, fish for big fish. What's the point of catching small fish and shrimps!" Kong Jue sneered.

"They haven't taken action in these years. I guess they saw how difficult the Xihuang Blessed Land is through the escaped spy."

"I know that piece of meat is not something that can be chewed by a person at the Ascension Wheel Realm."

"When they come again, it must be the Jade Court Sect's headmaster who will take action. He will bring some of the Jade Court Sect's heritage with him to pave the way for me."

This time won’t last long.

Kong Ju spent six years in seclusion before arriving at Chaodi Ancient City and was delayed along the way.

It should be less than two years before the gate to the Xianyun Realm is opened to the point where the great master Zhangsheng can enter.

"In the next one or two years, Yutingmen will definitely take action." Kong Ju thought with certainty.

He just needed to wait quietly in Wudong for their arrival.

Huangfu Ying was also waiting.

This time, using Xihuang blessed land as bait, none of the powerful palm-living beings sent down by Yuting Sect will be able to escape.

Huangfu Ying was determined to use this battle to severely damage Yuting Sect and shake their foundation. (End of this chapter)
