"This, how could this be? Your identity token must have been stolen!" Ouyang Han was incredulous. As a member of the Ouyang family with three spiritual roots, he was unable to join the Tianhai Sect as a true disciple.
Lu Xuan, a cultivator with five spiritual roots, is actually the personal disciple of the sect leader of Tianhai Sect, one of the nine major sects of the Righteous Path Alliance!
This completely overturned Ouyang Han's worldview.
He used to consider himself a member of the Ouyang family and even thought about pursuing Murong Wan, a direct descendant of the Murong family. He never expected that this cultivator with five spiritual roots would not give Murong Wan any face.
Thinking about it that way...
As a member of a collateral branch of the Ouyang family, he might not even be qualified to carry Lu Xuan's shoes.
This made Ouyang Han feel an unprecedented sense of humiliation.
Therefore, Ouyang Han chose to continue questioning Lu Xuan in order to save face.
Unfortunately, Lu Xuan saw through his little scheme at a glance! And it was very easy to resolve.
Because there are also Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Tianhai Sect here.
Lu Xuan walked up to a low-key middle-aged man in the corner and smiled faintly:
"What a coincidence, Senior Brother Li, what brings you to the Longevity Pavilion in Yunmeng City for the auction? Are you also here to buy a few Foundation Establishment Pills for your junior?"
That's right, the unassuming Foundation Establishment cultivator in front of us is none other than Uncle Li, the steward of the Tianhai Sect's Medicine Garden who extorted a semi-top-grade magic weapon from Lu Xuan.
Uncle Li had actually noticed Lu Xuan long ago, but since Lu Xuan had unexpectedly become the sect leader's personal disciple, and Uncle Li had even personally visited to return the magic weapon to Lu Xuan, he felt too embarrassed to speak to Lu Xuan again. At this moment, Uncle Li smiled and said:
"Haha, it's Junior Brother Lu!"
Since Lu Xuan became the sect leader's personal disciple, he and Uncle Li have been of the same generation.
If Lu Xuan weren't younger than Uncle Li, he probably would have called him Junior Brother Li.
"Senior Brother Li, you saw it too, someone is questioning my identity! They look down on our Tianhai Sect, what should we do?"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Li knew that Lu Xuan wanted to use him to establish his authority, so he tactfully slammed his hand on the table in feigned anger and said:
"Hmph! How dare you question the identity of the personal disciple of our Tianhai Sect's leader? Where does that leave the dignity of Tianhai Sect, one of the nine great sects?"
After saying that, Uncle Li came out.
They arrived at the center of the field.
He casually bowed to the Foundation Establishment Steward of the Longevity Pavilion and said:
"Fellow Daoists of the Longevity Pavilion, as you have all seen, it's not that my Tianhai Sect is disrespectful to the Demon-Slaying Venerable, but this little Ouyang family is going too far. Do they really think they're one of the three great families of Yunmeng City? Just because they have two Core Formation cultivators doesn't mean they're anything special! If we're talking about the number of Core Formation cultivators, our Tianhai Sect has more than a dozen! We even have a Nascent Soul cultivator! Your little Ouyang family dares to be so insolent in front of our Tianhai Sect!"
"Give me your life!" With that, Uncle Li stretched out his hand, and a powerful Foundation Establishment spiritual energy gathered into a golden hand, ready to kill Ouyang Han.
At this moment, a figure rushed over, also at the early Foundation Establishment stage. "Fellow Daoists of Tianhai Sect, please show mercy! I apologize on behalf of my unworthy son!"
"This top-grade magic artifact is a gift for you, young fellow Daoist!" The Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Ouyang family hurriedly presented Lu Xuan with a genuine top-grade magic artifact as an apology.
"Hmph!" Uncle Li was clearly still unsatisfied, because the other party hadn't given him any benefits!
Having accepted the compensation and a top-grade magic artifact, Lu Xuan said calmly, "Senior Brother Li, since that's the case, I'll show some mercy and let this ignorant Ouyang Han go!"
Uncle Li would naturally listen to Lu Xuan, but the Ouyang family was tactless and didn't give him any benefits. This made Uncle Li feel slighted, and he instantly became furious. He immediately struck and shattered all of Ouyang Han's meridians, making him unable to cultivate anymore. He might even need to be fed in the future and would never be able to follow Murong Wan around like that again!
"Fellow Daoist, you..." The Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Ouyang family wanted to say something, but still dared not compete with the Tianhai Sect, especially since their lineage was a collateral branch of the Ouyang family.
Even the Ouyang family wouldn't dare to confront the Tianhai Sect head-on!
After the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Ouyang family took away the disheartened Ouyang Hanhou.
Uncle Li approached Lu Xuan and said:
"I heard from Sect Leader Yuqingzi a while ago that you had disappeared without a trace? Could it be that you were in mortal danger?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan immediately nodded and said, "It's a long story. During that time, I encountered a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Heavenly Demon Sect. Fortunately, I had a Core Formation talisman and a Heavenly Thunder Child, which allowed me to escape. Later, by chance, I ended up in this Cloud Dream City. I wonder how our Heavenly Sea Sect is doing now?"
"I see. Junior Brother Lu, you truly deserve to be the personal disciple of our Tianhai Sect's leader! You actually managed to escape from a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator."
After praising Lu Xuan a few times, Uncle Li sighed and said:
"You probably don't know this, but not long ago, our Tianhai Sect and the Tianmo Sect sent out more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators and several Core Formation cultivators to fight each other. Our Tianhai Sect was no match for them. Even our sect leader, Yuqingzi, was seriously injured, and we also lost several mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators. If it weren't for the Core Formation elders from the Righteous Path Alliance coming to our aid, our Tianhai Sect might have lost one or two Core Formation cultivators!"
After listening to what his Uncle Li said, Lu Xuan was quite moved.
The Heavenly Demon Sect is really keeping up with us step by step.
It seems that the Tianhai Sect alone is no match for the Tianmo Sect.
Sure enough, Uncle Li continued:
"As far as I know, our Nascent Soul Ancestor of Tianhai Sect has decided that all sect cultivators will move to the vicinity of Yunmeng City in the near future!"
"The other nine major sects should also move to the vicinity of Yunmeng City one after another. This time, the Heavenly Demon Sect seems to have a grand ambition! However, with the combined strength of our nine major sects and the Righteous Path Alliance, we are not afraid of the Heavenly Demon Sect!"
However, this time, those demon cultivators from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, along with the cultivators from the Ghost King Sect, colluded with the Heavenly Demon Sect. It seems that our righteous alliance only has the power to defend, and can only rely on the ancient formations in Yunmeng City to resist the Heavenly Demon Sect, Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, and the Ghost King Sect.”
Hearing these secrets from Uncle Li.
Lu Xuan knew that he needed to improve his strength as soon as possible.
Without Foundation Establishment cultivation, one has no power to protect oneself in this perilous world of cultivation.
The auction then resumed.
After spending over 20,000 spirit stones to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill, Uncle Li left the Longevity Pavilion. He must have gone back to the Heavenly Sea Sect.
Ye Ningshuang, who had been scrutinizing Lu Xuan, changed her attitude completely, "Fellow Daoist Lu, what have you thought about what I said before?"
Lu Xuan replied telepathically:
"We'll discuss this further after the auction."
Seeing this, Ye Ningshuang stopped talking, afraid of disturbing Lu Xuan.
In the end, Lu Xuan spent more than 39,000 spirit stones to bid for two Foundation Establishment Pills.
With the Foundation Establishment Pill given to him by the Demon Slayer and the Foundation Establishment Pill given to him by Yu Qingzi, he now has four or five Foundation Establishment Pills.
As for the mid-grade spirit stones in the storage bag, Lu Xuan didn't spend a single one. He only factored in his low-grade spirit stones and some miscellaneous items, which came to roughly the price of two Foundation Establishment Pills.
After giving the female cultivator Mo Shuiyun a few bottles of ordinary pills as a token of his gratitude, Lu Xuan left the Longevity Pavilion.
Ye Ningshuang followed.
