Chapter 600: Yaoguang Palace Master
Beiji Palace, Tianxuan Palace.
A beautiful female Taoist priest led the way in front, and Gao Xian and Qing Qing followed behind.
Both of them were arranged to the Arctic Palace. It was already March, and the first thing Gao Xian did after coming out of seclusion was to bring Qingqing to pay a visit to Chang Ning, the master of the Arctic Palace.
Morality is profound and quiet, and truth always keeps the great purity.
This Chang Ning is two generations younger than the Zhen character generation, but he is also a Transformation God Daoist Sovereign, and is said to be only three thousand years old. For a Transformation God, this age is considered a true young man.
Gao Xian will be stationed in Beiji Palace in the future, so he naturally needs to build a good relationship with his immediate superior. In a large organization, handling interpersonal relationships well is a basic ability.
If you can't handle interpersonal relationships well, it will be difficult to get along in an organization.
To Gao Xian, doing things is a skill, and being a person is also a skill. It's just that the emphasis of the skills is different. He is actually not very good at either, that is, mediocre. Fortunately, his cultivation is high enough, although he has no backers in Xuanming Sect, he also has no enemies.
He and Qingle had asked about it. It was said that Chang Ning had a gentle personality, liked to practice meditation, and didn't take care of things. The real person in charge of Beiji Palace was the head of the Shouren Zhenjun.
The chief seat has a high status, but after all, he is only a Yuanying Zhenjun. Gao Xian is a little embarrassed to hug his peers. The main reason is that he thinks his cultivation level is superior to the Yuanying realm, so he doesn't think much of his peers.
Besides, as an outsider, it was almost impossible for him to enter the power center of Xuanming Sect. Just like when he was in Wanfeng Sect, even if his cultivation was only lower than Yue Wanfeng, he was just the head of Yaoguang Hall.
Although his status is quite high, he is actually excluded from the power center of Wanfeng Sect.
Gao Xian actually had no interest in these things. He just wanted to sell more books and gain more power. When he became a god, it wouldn't matter whether he was at the center of power or not.
The treatment you deserve is definitely that if you don't have great power, you don't have corresponding responsibilities. If something goes wrong, you can run away with a clear conscience.
Tianxuan Palace is very large. The female Taoist priest in front led Gao Xian and others through several major halls and came to a quiet courtyard in the back.
In early March, there are several peach trees in the yard with peach blossoms in full bloom, the whole tree is bright red, pink and white. The fresh spring breeze blows gently, and the flowers and leaves sway the whole mountain with spring colors and the whole sky with bright spring light.
Gao Xian couldn't help but feel happy, thinking of his days in Xuandu Mountain, where he had beautiful women, confidants, and drinking buddies, and his life was easy, leisurely, comfortable, and enjoyable.
He had just achieved the Golden Core at that time, but it was the most comfortable decades of his life. Unfortunately, the Qingyun Sect had disappeared, and only his memory still retained that beautiful period.
"The peach blossoms on Xuandu Peak should have withered..." Gao Xian said in a low voice.
Qingqing was stunned for a moment before she realized that the Qingyun Sect's Xuandu Mountain her father was talking about was where she grew up and she had deep feelings for it.
The strange peach blossoms on Xuandu Mountain that went against the seasons occupied an even more important place in her memory. Somehow, Qingqing suddenly felt a little sad, and she whispered, "Yes, the peach blossoms are weird. They wither when other flowers are in full bloom."
She was silent for a moment and then whispered, "Dad, I miss Master a little."
"Me too."
Gao Xian felt a little melancholy. Maybe he was old, so when he saw peach blossoms he would think of the past and his old friends.
It has been more than two hundred years, and I don’t know if Yun Qiu Shui’s true spirit has been reincarnated... I also don’t know what happened to Yun Qingxuan and the others.
In fact, he tried his best not to think about these things. Not to mention that he was just a Nascent Soul, even if he was the Pure Yang Taoist, he was powerless to change the past, let alone control the future.
Fate is unpredictable, and that is why everything is full of charm.
Taoist Master Changning, who was sitting in the quiet room, was looking at Gaoxian in the yard through the window.
Chang Ning had long heard of the name of this deity who was bestowed with divine talismans. Since Gao Xian was the deity, it was only natural that he was assigned to the North Pole Palace.
After half a year, the Pojun Star Lord finally arrived.
It was rumored that Gao Xian was extremely handsome, dignified, and a first-class romantic figure. Seeing him today, it turned out that his reputation was well-deserved.
At this moment, Gao Xian's gaze was far-flung, with a kind of melancholy that was sad but not hurtful, yet it became more and more charming and captivating.
Chang Ning no longer had much love between men and women at this level of cultivation, but she had to admit that at this moment she felt a certain admiration for Gao Xiansheng.
This has nothing to do with men and women, it's just a natural liking for beauty.
At her level of cultivation, she sometimes pays more attention to first impression when judging people. When she first saw Gao Xian, she felt that he was not as frivolous as the rumors said. Instead, he had a timeless temperament and a noble demeanor, and was truly a person of heaven.
"Please invite the two True Lords in." Chang Ning ordered casually.
The female Taoist priest bowed and left, and quickly brought Gao Xian and Qing Qing into the room.
The quiet room where Chang Ning was staying was not big, only a few meters long and wide. There was only a long couch in the room, and nothing else.
Gao Xian glanced at Chang Ning. This female deity had a dignified and beautiful appearance, and looked like a woman in her thirties, with a pair of eyes as clear as water and a calm and gentle expression. The dark blue Taoist robe on her body could faintly see golden stars, which was very wonderful.
From the first impression, Gao Xian felt that Chang Ning was the kind of abstinent woman who looked gentle and peaceful, but seemed not interested in anything.
After all, he was a Taoist master, so Gao Xian couldn't look at him too much. He bowed and said, "Gao Xian greets the Taoist master."
Qingqing followed suit and saluted along with them.
"You two are welcome."
Chang Ning nodded slightly, and said softly, "I'm sorry, this place is simple and there's nothing good to entertain you two."
"Your Excellency Dao is too kind."
Gao Xian was a little surprised. This Taoist Master Changning was very polite and courteous, and seemed like a very easy person to talk to.
After a few polite words, Chang Ning said, "The daily affairs of this temple are handled by the chief, Lord Shouren, and the duties of the two of you are also arranged by Lord Shouren.
"You two can go directly to Tianshu Palace to find Master Shouren."
Chang Ning finally said: "If the two True Lords have any important matters that cannot be resolved, you can also come to me."
Gao Xian's heart was moved. Did Chang Ning Daojun open a channel for him to file a complaint? Or did he like him?
In fact, Chang Ning is quite good-looking, and her abstinence style has a unique flavor. Although she is a bit old, she is actually a young person.
Although he was over 300 years old, he was only about 10 years old! So he looked a little old. However, he was willing to maintain a good personal relationship with Chang Ning.
Gao Xian actually just thought that he was flirtatious, not coquettish. The two were completely different. Chang Ning and Tai Ning were not ordinary women. They would never get horny when they saw a handsome man! He was the same.
He likes beautiful women and all kinds of beauty, but that doesn't mean he will do anything.
After coming out of Tianxuan Palace, the beautiful female Taoist led Gao Xian and Qing Qing straight to Tianshu Palace.
The North Pole Palace is called a palace, but it is actually a huge organization. It occupies thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. Although it is not as big as the Wanfeng Sect, it is dozens of times larger than the Qingyun Sect.
The few of them flew for hundreds of miles before they reached Tianshu Palace.
The Tianshu Palace was much more lively, with rays of light flashing across the sky. People were coming and going in the Tianshu Palace, and traces of people could be seen everywhere.
Not only in Tianshu Palace, but also on this mountain, people can be seen everywhere. There are also various flying ships taking off and landing, and it is as prosperous and bustling as a big city.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Qingqing was dazzled by the sight. She had never thought there was such a lively place in the mountains. She exclaimed, "There are so many people here!"
"True Lord, Tianshu Hall is responsible for managing the affairs of Beiji Hall. There are millions of cultivators affiliated with this hall. We have various affairs to deal with every day, so there are more people here..."
The beautiful female Taoist knew that Qingqing's identity was special, and the hall master seemed to attach great importance to Gao Xian, so she did not dare to be negligent and carefully explained everything to Qingqing.
Qingqing nodded, and she asked curiously, "I wonder what the character of Master Shouren is like?"
The female Taoist priest was a little embarrassed. It was a taboo to talk about the head of Tianshu behind his back. She thought for a moment and said, "The head is upright and decisive, and he handles things fairly. Everyone respects him."
"oh."
Qingqing nodded. She understood. This chief had a tough temper and acted in a domineering manner, so no one dared to object.
When they arrived at Tianshu Palace, there were many people waiting outside the main hall to pay respect to the abbot. The female Taoist priest walked into the main hall gracefully, attracting many people's attention.
Gao Xian and Qing Qing, who were waiting on the side, attracted everyone's interest again.
Everyone in Xuanming Sect wore Taoist robes, and it was very rare to see someone like Gao Xian wearing white. Most people had heard of Gao Xian's name, and their eyes widened when they saw him in person.
No matter what everyone thought, they had to admit that Gao Xian, dressed in white clothes as white as snow and as elegant as clouds, was indeed a peerless beauty. When everyone stood next to him, they really became a group of country chickens.
Gao Xian took a casual look and saw that all the people present were Jindan, wearing blue Taoist robes with silver star patterns on them. The cultivators of the North Pole Hall seemed to be divided into different levels according to the star patterns.
All the cultivators here were at the Jindan level. None of them looked over a hundred years old. This showed that the Xuanming Sect had a profound foundation.
After a while, the female Taoist priest came out and led Gao Xian and Qing Qing straight into the main hall.
Deep in the hall, a man sat behind a long desk, looking down and annotating documents. He had an old-fashioned look, a thick beard, and a slightly purple complexion. He was of medium build, sitting with his back straight, and his hand holding the pen looked very thick.
The most eye-catching person had a pair of deep blue eyes, which were deep yet somewhat domineering.
Gao Xian knew that this person was the True Lord of Shouren, who was granted the Divine Scroll of the Heavenly Pivot and was also called the True Lord of the Heavenly Pivot, the head of the North Pole Hall. According to Qingle, many people secretly called this Greedy Wolf, saying that he was tyrannical and terrifying, and very difficult to get along with.
Judging from his attitude, he was indeed a bit arrogant. Even though the guests had arrived, he was still marking documents, which was actually very rude.
He was nominally a subordinate, after all, they were Yuanying Zhenjun, and two of them, so this attitude seemed very unfriendly.
The female Taoist priest also felt something was wrong, so she said softly, "Master, the two True Lords have arrived."
Master Shouren didn't even raise his head, "I understand, you can go down."
The female Taoist priest didn't know what to say anymore, so she could only bow and leave quietly.
Gao Xian was not in a hurry, he just watched quietly. The other party was a little arrogant, but it was nothing.
Chang Ning's friendly and polite attitude towards him was actually a bit strange. The two parties were not related, and Shouren was his superior, so there was no need to be too polite to him.
When people are outside, face is earned by themselves, not given by others. What others give is not called face, it is called favor.
After Shouren finished annotating the document in his hand, he put down his brush and looked at Gao Xian and Qing Qing. The look in his dark blue eyes was tough, direct and very strong.
Gao Xian smiled and bowed. Although Qing Qing didn't like his gesture, she still bowed politely on the surface.
Shouren waved his hand and said, "We are all Yuanying Daoists, so you two don't have to be polite."
He pondered for a moment and said, "This temple has twenty-eight nine palaces. Do you two Taoist friends have any favorites?"
The North Pole Palace is a huge organization that commands millions of cultivators. It is not difficult to place two Yuanying Zhenjuns. Shouren just wants to see what Gao Xian has to say.
As the head monk, Shouren didn't like Gao Xian, a strong and external Yuanying Zhenjun. The rumors of divine talismans bestowed by heaven and Dharma names bestowed by Dao Zun had long been spread in Beiji Palace.
There was a lot of discussion going on, and many people even thought that Gao Xian would replace him as the top seat.
Shouren knew that this was all nonsense. Even if there were eight chiefs, it would not be the turn of an outsider like Gao Xian to sit in this position. If one could get a position just by being capable, what would the people in the sect think? Even if the Taoist Master admired Gao Xian, he would never destroy the unity of the sect and the rules that had been formed for thousands of years for an outsider.
Gao Xian smiled and said, "We are all new to Beiji Palace. We don't know anything, so how can we choose? It's all up to the chief seat to arrange."
Shouren was silent for a moment and said, "Since the Taoist has given you the title of Pojun Xingjun, you should go to Yaoguang Palace. But Yaoguang Palace already has a Palace Master. If you want to become the Palace Master, you have to compete with him..."
