Chapter 477: First
Seat It is better to lure people with benefits than to explain them with reason.
When Yue Wanfeng first met Gao Xian, he saw that he possessed a powerful body-refining secret technique. However, Gao Xian had never shown this magical power to anyone.
From this we can see that Gao Xian regarded this magical power as a life-saving skill.
Yue Wanfeng couldn’t figure out what method Gao Xian used to cultivate his body, but it didn’t matter. As long as it was body cultivation, one had to temper the flesh, and there were only a few ways to do it.
The dragon marrow in his hand was actually the dragon marrow of a fifth-level demon dragon, which had been purified by several spiritual objects. In terms of rank, it could be called a fourth-level divine object.
Not to mention that Gao Xian is only at the third level, even if he is a fourth level physical cultivator, this bottle of dragon marrow will be of great use.
I first gave Gao Xian the Tianji Eight-Character Mantra to show my sincerity. If you want others to work, you have to give them some benefits. This bottle of dragon marrow as a prize can fully stimulate Gao Xian's enthusiasm.
As it turns out, this trick really works.
Yue Wanfeng was very satisfied with Gao Xian's reaction. He was a smart man and knew not to pretend in front of him.
He said to Gao Xian: "If you can destroy the 72 caves of Lingjiu within 30 years, this bottle of dragon marrow will be yours."
Gao Xian didn't know what the 72 caves of Lingjiu were. Yue Wanfeng's conditions clearly left him no room for bargaining. He said, "I am not talented, but I am willing to do my best."
"I'll wait for your good news."
Yue Wanfeng smiled and looked at Jin Yang Zhen Jun who was standing respectfully beside him.
Jin Yang Zhen Jun hurriedly bowed and gave Gao Xian a look, indicating that the conversation was over and it was time to leave.
Gao Xian followed suit and bowed, and the two of them took seven steps back before turning around and leaving the hall.
Coming out of the Tianquan Palace, Gao Xian hurriedly asked, "True Lord, what is the situation with the 72 Lingjiu Caves?"
"Seventy-two Caves of the Vulture..."
Jin Yang Zhen Jun had a complicated look on his face. He pondered for a moment and said, "The situation here is very complicated and cannot be explained in just a few words. Yao Guang Hall has detailed records on this. You can check it yourself."
Gao Xian saw the look on Jin Yang Zhen Jun's face and knew that the 72 caves of Ling Jiu were not easy to deal with. This was normal.
If it were easy, Yue Wanfeng would not have given out dragon marrow as a reward.
Yaoguang Hall is located on Wanxiu Peak. Although it is called a hall, it is actually a large palace-like building complex that stretches from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain.
In several large squares, you can see a large number of practitioners in uniform practicing swordplay. To be more precise, they are practicing according to a certain magic array.
“That’s the Dao soldier.”
True Lord Jin Yang pointed at the many cultivators below and said, "Dao soldiers practice magic arrays every day. They use people as arrays and gather Qi to resist the enemy. Fifty Qi training Dao soldiers can kill a foundation building cultivator. A thousand Dao soldiers can kill a golden elixir cultivator..."
Taoist soldiers are the sect's real armed force. Yaoguang Hall selects a large number of people from the outer disciples every year, and the number of regular Taoist soldiers is close to 100,000.
This number is actually very large, because Dao soldiers are only responsible for fighting. Dao soldiers consume a lot of magic tools, magic talismans, and elixirs. Generally speaking, ten cultivators can afford to support one Dao soldier.
Although the Wanfeng Sect is large, maintaining 100,000 Taoist soldiers is almost the limit.
Yaoguang Palace is responsible for managing these Taoist soldiers. Just like the mortal army, they are managed by strict military law, have strict discipline, enforce orders, are fearless and well-organized, and have a strict hierarchy.
Looking down from the sky, one can see the murderous aura rising into the sky from the battle formation.
Even at such a long distance, Gao Xian could feel that his consciousness was disturbed by the powerful murderous aura, and even his own magic power was producing some unstable fluctuations.
Gao Xian couldn't help but sigh, the big sects are just different. Although there are cultivators who are specifically responsible for fighting in a sect like Qingyun Sect, they are very undisciplined, and the battles are chaotic, in fact, they are just a pile of loose sand.
The disciplined, brave and skilled Taoist soldiers could easily defeat cultivators ten times their number, because the difference in organization between the two sides was too great.
The Golden Core Commander of Yaoguang Palace is also reasonable, because they are really generals who lead troops, which is completely different from ordinary cultivators.
True Lord Jinyang brought Gao Xian and landed in front of Yaoguang Palace on the top of the mountain. He noticed that Gao Xian's breathing had been steady and orderly, as if the murderous aura of the battle array on the mountain had no effect on Gao Xian.
This made True Lord Jinyang look at Gao Xian with a higher opinion. The huge battle formation formed by the Taoist soldiers released a very strong murderous aura. Even though he was in the late Nascent Soul stage, he still felt that the murderous aura was icy cold and piercing, and he was very uncomfortable.
The fact that Gao Xian could appear calm on the surface proved that he was indeed very skilled. He was also very cunning.
There was a team of black-armored puppet warriors in front of the hall. When they saw people coming, red light flashed in their eyes at the same time, and they locked onto Gao Xian and Jin Yang Zhenjun.
True Lord Jin Yang raised his hand and took out a token. A ray of magical power flashed, and the dark red eyes of the black-armored puppet dimmed at the same time.
"Yaoguang Palace is a strategic location, so we have deployed a team of third-level puppets to prevent others from trespassing..."
Jin Yang Zhen Jun glanced at Gao Xian meaningfully and said, "Yao Guang Hall is the most expensive place in the sect, and it is also the richest place. I don't know how many people are eyeing this position of the first seat, so fellow Taoist should be more cautious in his actions...
"Yuheng Palace is responsible for supervising all palaces and departments. If public opinion boils over, your job will be difficult!"
It is one thing for Jinyang Zhenjun to speak ill of Gao Xian behind his back, but in front of Gao Xian, he has to show a friendly and approachable attitude.
"Thank you, sir. I will be careful." Gao Xian understood that the other party was trying to be friendly, so he thanked him politely.
He did not trust him, and they had only met two or three times, so there was no question of trust or distrust. It was obvious that Jin Yang Zhen Jun was Yue Wanfeng's confidant, which was very important.
Gao Xian didn't try to please the other party, but he would never offend him.
As they talked, they entered the hall and saw that there were already quite a few people inside. Gao Xian roughly counted them and found that there were at least 40 or 50 of them.
The seven people standing in the front were all wearing long black robes. The robes had a tough texture like iron, and they looked like a suit of armor when worn on the body.
There is a golden earthly branch emblem on the chest of the black robe. There is no doubt that these are seven of the twelve generals.
As Gao Xian and Jin Yang Zhen Jun came in, they naturally attracted everyone's attention. The seven gods looked at Jin Yang Zhen Jun and finally focused their attention on Gao Xian.
There was scrutiny and confusion in the eyes of the seven generals. It seemed that they had no idea who Gao Xian was, let alone what he was doing here.
True Lord Jinyang ignored the generals. He took Gao Xian and separated the crowd and came to the bottom of the platform.
There is an empty seat on the nine-tiered platform.
The back of the chair is made up of thirteen huge black sword blades, which looks murderous and majestic.
"I'm sorry I'm late."
A clear voice came from the side, followed by a middle-aged man in blue clothes walking into the hall. This man had regular features, especially a pair of dark sword-like eyebrows, and a three-strand beard, looking quite romantic and unrestrained.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
The man in blue walked to the center of the hall and bowed to Master Jinyang, saying, "Thank you for waiting for me, Taoist friend."
"We just got here, so why should you be so polite, Palace Master?"
True Lord Jin Yang returned the greeting respectfully to the man in blue, and his words were very polite.
Jin Yang Zhenjun introduced Gao Xian: "This is Ming Yang Zhenjun, the master of Yaoguang Palace."
Gao Xian bowed his head and saluted. True Lord Mingyang also returned the salute with a smile, "This must be Fellow Daoist Gao, you have a beautiful figure and spirit, and an extraordinary bearing. You are truly a man of unparalleled talent..."
"Palace Master, you are too kind to me. I am unworthy of your praise..."
Everyone was very polite and complimented each other, and the atmosphere was quite warm.
The seven generals were watching with a group of people, and they all felt a little uncomfortable. They were the generals, and now they could only be a spectator?
Who is this guy? What does the hall master mean by summoning them here? Of course, some people know Gao Xian. After all, Gao Xian is quite famous in Wanfeng Sect. Especially since he won the first place in Tianfu Dharma Assembly and killed four Jindan including Yue Huaying! This battle was actually quite sensational.
The Wanfeng Sect's Jindan True Disciples were all very proud and did not take other sects' Jindan seriously. However, this battle frightened the Jindan True Disciples.
Gao Xian fought one against four, but he killed all four of them, Yue Huaying, and what was even more terrifying was that Gao Xian was not hurt at all. This meant that the two sides were not at the same level of cultivation.
The generals of Yaoguang Temple were all good at fighting and could be said to have experienced hundreds of battles. The more so, the more they knew how powerful Gao Xian was.
The ugly general Yue Yuanguang had a good relationship with Yue Huaying and knew the whole story. He naturally hated Gao Xian, but he had no intention of taking revenge for Yue Huaying.
He knew that such a master was very scary and he couldn't kill him alone. Besides, his relationship with Yue Huaying wasn't that close.
Yue Yuanguang had never expected that he would meet Gao Xian in Yaoguang Hall. Seeing Gao Xian chatting and laughing with the hall master, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Zhou Qingyun, the general of the nearby God Si, noticed that Yue Yuanguang looked unhappy, so she asked him in a voice transmission, "Why, do you know him?"
"He is Gao Xian."
Yue Yuanguang and Zhou Qingyun had a good relationship. He casually said, "This kid might want to join Yaoguang Palace, but the positions for God Generals are all full, and I don't know how to arrange for him?"
Zhou Qingyun's eyes lit up and he said, "I am just short of a Taoist general."
"What are you thinking?!"
Yue Yuanguang was somewhat disdainful. This woman was mesmerized by Gao Xian's handsomeness. Jin Yang Zhenjun accompanied him here, and the hall master personally received him. How could Gao Xian be a Taoist general? At this time, Ming Yang Zhenjun walked up to the platform and said to the people below: "Today, I have called everyone here to announce something important."
Master Mingyang said as he waved to Gao Xian, signaling him to come up. Gao Xian consciously stood on a step below Master Mingyang.
True Lord Mingyang smiled and took Gao Xian's hand to lead him up. He said to everyone in the hall, "From today on, Gao Xian will serve as the head of Yaoguang Hall."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar below.
Yue Yuanguang had expected this, but his expression turned ugly. The other six generals were also like this.
According to the rules of Yaoguang Palace, the chief is responsible for commanding the twelve generals. In other words, from now on, these generals are all subordinates of Gao Xian.
Who could accept the sudden appearance of a boss who was a young outsider? Even Zhou Qingyun, the general who had a good impression of Gao Xian, could not help but look gloomy, and looked at Gao Xian with a bit more unkindness in his eyes.
Facing everyone's malicious gazes, Gao Xian smiled politely.
True Lord Jin Yang watched all this silently. It was expected that these gods would be dissatisfied, and all kinds of fierce conflicts would inevitably break out in the future.
He looked at Gao Xian, who was smiling elegantly. This greedy, lustful, and ruthless young man not only had to face many gods but also the powerful forces behind them. He also had to deal with the 72 caves of Lingjiu. I wonder if this kid can hold on? !
