Seeing that the old guy was actually crying, Chen An was also depressed.
But when he suddenly heard the old fellow say that he had second thoughts about him, Chen An was stunned for a moment, and wondered in his heart, was it... that he let this old fellow off too easily?
However, seeing the old man's grateful look, he was eager to appreciate the treasure he had just brought back.
Chen An waved his hand: "Forget it, don't mention this, go back and recuperate."
"Thank you for your great kindness!"
After Jiang Yan left, Chen An quickly ordered two divine guards to move the things into his house. Chen An's face was full of excitement, and he could hardly wait to taste the thousand-year-old elixir.
The door closed, and Chen An looked at the twenty or so boxes in front of him, all of which he had carefully selected.
Immediately afterwards, Chen An picked up the ancient elixir that was at least two feet long and had strange horns and bumps on it.
I couldn't help swallowing a few times.
Then, he took a bite!
Click!
With a slight sound, Chen An instantly bit off a piece of the thousand-year-old elixir!
but……
Chen An's face turned green immediately, his stomach started churning, and he was about to vomit.
Chen An widened his eyes and tried hard to suppress them. What a joke! It would be such a shame to spit out the elixir that has been consuming for thousands of years!
But the taste was really something that Chen An couldn't praise.
It’s bitter, astringent, and so woody!
If Chen An hadn't felt that the spiritual energy inside was extremely abundant and there was an inexplicable spiritual charm in it, he would probably have vomited.
After much effort and suppressing the nausea, he finally swallowed this small piece of the ancient elixir into his stomach.
Suddenly!
A stream of energy rose from his stomach and instantly merged into his meridians. The original energy in the meridians quickly began to circulate.
Chen An quickly sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, began to guide this powerful energy, and started practicing.
…
Lu Hongyi, who was sitting next door, opened her eyes, which had been closed.
He frowned slightly and said, "This kid is really good. He embezzled so much of the gifts!"
However, Lu Hongyi had no intention of asking for punishment. She just released her soul and could clearly see Chen An practicing next door.
Lu Hongyi seemed to sense something and frowned: "What kind of martial arts is this kid practicing? Why doesn't it look like the Blood Spirit Sect's martial arts?"
After a moment, Lu Hongyi frowned slightly: "Strange, it feels a bit familiar!"
At this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "Master, the Great Elder wants to see you in the Conferred God Hall."
"knew!"
Lu Hongyi stood up and walked out of the room.
The Fengshen Hall is extremely magnificent. It is the main hall of Fengshen Gate and has a variety of natural scenes.
However, the hall was extremely empty. Apart from some decorations, there was only a white-haired old man standing in the hall.
Soon, Lu Hongyi came out and sat on the high throne, looking at the old man with indifferent eyes.
The old man bowed and said, "Greetings, Master."
"Grand Elder, please don't be so polite. I wonder why you suddenly came out of seclusion to see me?" Lu Hongyi's voice was cold and majestic.
The Great Elder said solemnly, "Master, I dare not boast of my contributions to the Fengshen Sect, but I do boast that I have devoted all my efforts to its prosperity."
"The Great Elder's contributions to the Fengshen Sect are naturally self-evident. This seat has always witnessed it." Lu Hongyi nodded, then smiled slightly and said, "Great Elder, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to hesitate!"
"Yes, then I'm going to be so bold. I don't know why the Sect Leader chose Chen An. Regardless of his status or cultivation, Chen An is really..."
The Great Elder seemed unable to utter the following words.
Lu Hongyi, however, remained calm and spoke up for the Great Elder, "It's truly too lowly. In any case, it's unworthy of this Sect Leader, right? In your opinion, it's also a discredit to the dignity and might of the Sealed God Sect."
The Great Elder said nothing, which clearly meant that he agreed.
Lu Hongyi wasn't surprised, nor did she get angry. She said calmly, "Could it be that the Great Elder didn't cultivate from a young man without any cultivation? In other words, which of the world's strongest people didn't become so through cultivation, step by step?"
The Great Elder was slightly taken aback, then frowned and said, "Although what the Sect Leader said makes sense, but...it will take Chen An countless years to reach the Tongtian realm. Why...is this necessary?"
"Great Elder, in the final analysis, you still look down on Chen An?"
"That's right. I just look down on this kid. If he had good talent, it would be fine. Maybe in time, with the foundation of Fengshen Sect, he might be able to soar to the sky. But I heard that Chen An is already eighteen years old. Before that, he couldn't even get started. How can he grow up with such a dull talent!" The elder looked solemn, but he lowered his head and bent his waist.
Lu Hongyi's expression gradually turned cold: "Jiang Yan is so bold, is this what the Great Elder wants?"
"That's right. I dare to act, and I do it for the sake of the Sect Leader." The Great Elder raised his head and looked at Lu Hongyi.
Lu Hongyi sighed: "In that case, you should go to the back mountain to practice in seclusion. Without my order, you are not allowed to leave the mountain!"
The Great Elder was startled and quickly shouted, "Master, please think twice."
Lu Hongyi suddenly stood up, her expression cold, but intimidating without even getting angry.
Her voice was icy, yet filled with an irresistible will: "The reason I'm holding a wedding today and hosting a grand banquet for guests from all over the world is to let everyone know that I, Lu Hongyi, am getting married, and my husband's name is Chen An!"
"As for how others view Chen An, I, Lu Hongyi, don't care, nor do I need to care. I, Lu Hongyi, have the final say on who I, Lu Hongyi, marry. As for why... hehe..."
Lu Hongyi suddenly laughed, and then said the last sentence word by word: "Who do I, Lu Hongyi, need to explain to?!"
The elder's expression was somewhat grim, but he finally bowed his head and said, "Since the Sect Master has made up his mind, I will not say anything more. I will now go to the back mountains to practice in seclusion and will no longer be involved in the affairs of the sect!"
The Great Elder seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, and walked out of the Temple of the Gods with a bent waist and a slightly hunched back.
The Great Elder at this moment exuded an air of old age.
Lu Hongyi looked at the direction where the Great Elder left and sighed slightly: "You should also focus on your cultivation and stop working so hard!"
At this moment, a divine guard outside the door clasped his fists and reported: "Master, an envoy from the Nine Suns Dynasty wants to see you!"
"Announce!" Lu Hongyi sat down again.
Then, a man in a brocade robe strode in and saluted with his fists clasped together: "Greetings, Master Lu!"
"What's going on with the Nine Suns Dynasty?"
"In reply to the Sect Master, His Majesty has specially sent an official to invite you to the Holy City in ten days to participate in the Ascension Conference."
Lu Hongyi said coldly: "It's just a trivial matter. Go back and tell your emperor that this leader is busy!"
