The person who came here was also in the early stage of the true elixir, and the aura of elixir power he exuded was a sure win over Ling Feng.

You must know that the quality of Ling Feng's elixirs is already at the upper level of true elixirs.

The person who comes here has either a deeper cultivation level than him, or a higher quality elixir.

"Headmaster Xuanyin's first disciple, 'Li Hai', congratulates Master Lu on forming the elixir, and presents him with a soul-cleansing bead and a bitter clearing bamboo."

A dark cloud of demonic energy came fiercely, carrying a man in black robes with a tall and straight body and shoulders as sharp as daggers.

"Li Hai! Disciple Liang Shaotian!"

The cultivators in Qingshawan were in an uproar and shocked, with fearful expressions on their faces.

The black-robed man's eyes were cold and stern, and the aura of demonic elixir emanating from his body made everyone present feel palpitations.

Below the true elixir, touching someone's eyes is like being struck by lightning.

The face of the clan leader Xia Hongyu changed drastically. For this elixir-forming ceremony, he definitely did not invite any demon sect monks.

"Li Hai is Liang Shaotian's eldest disciple, how come he comes to this elixir formation ceremony in person?"

"Could it be that the Xia family or Lu Changan has secret dealings with the Demon Cult?"

Even now, Xuanyin Sect is recognized by surrounding sects, but most monks still stay away from it.

Only Lu Changan understood why Li Hai came to congratulate him.

After being promoted to True Alchemy, it was difficult for Lu Changan not to attract Liang Shaotian's attention.

"Are Liang Shaotian's eldest disciples so tyrannical? His peak cultivation level in the early stage of pill formation is said to be from the earth spirit root, and he has cultivated the 'Black Gang Demonic Flame'."

Lu Changan secretly assessed: If you don't use the trump cards in your previous life, you will never be a match for this person.

Due to the mediocre quality of the finished elixir and the fact that he was new to the true elixir, Lu Changan's strength was relatively weak among those at the same level.

Under normal circumstances, in a competition of mana and magic weapons, Young Master Ling also defeated him steadily.

As for Li Hai, he is estimated to be able to easily defeat Young Master Ling, comparable to an ordinary mid-level true elixir.

After the evaluation is completed.

Lu Changan was stunned, he had actually become the unit of measurement for the True Alchemy cultivator?

…

"Headmaster Liang's disciple came in person, and Lu was frightened."

"For this elixir-forming ceremony, no invitation letter was sent in advance, and we hope that the Holy Religion will take care of it."

Lu Changan took Clan Chief Xia and greeted him personally.

"Master Lu said something serious. It was Mr. Li who came uninvited and was rude."

Li Hai's aura was overwhelming, and when he fell in front of Lu Changan, his tone seemed humble and polite.

Young Master Ling knows Li Hai.

Seeing this scene, he frowned slightly and his eyes showed surprise.

According to his understanding: Li Hai, as Liang Shaotian's disciple, acts outside and represents the will of Master Xuanyin.

Li Hai rarely visited other forces in Liang.

Participating in a real person's elixir formation ceremony, even for the first time.

On the contrary, many big forces in the Merchant Alliance took the initiative to curry favor with the Demonic Cult.

Liang Shaotian is currently practicing hard in seclusion. Once he reaches the late stage of pill formation, he will be truly invincible in the Jing Kingdom.

"You two gentlemen are invited."

Lu Changan, Ling Feng, and Li Hai, the three real people entered the main hall like stars holding the moon.

Outside the main hall, Fang Zhong kept the chariot and waited outside as a servant.

"Master Jiedan..."

Looking at the backs of the three Zhendan monks, Fang Zhong felt bitter in his heart.

Lu Changan and his master, the great disciple of the Demon Sect, were walking side by side, at a level that he could not reach in this life.

Inside the main hall.

As the protagonist of the celebration, Lu Changan still sat at the top.

Ling Feng and Li Hai were sitting on either side of the front row, facing each other.

Lu Changan vaguely noticed that the relationship between Ling Feng and Li Hai was not very good. When they were introduced outside, they were very cold to each other.

"Fellow Daoist Li, this young master has never heard that the Xuanyin Sect participated in the elixir-forming ceremony of other real people in Jing Kingdom. This young master Li Daoyou's visit is unexpected."

During the dinner, Ling Feng asked the questions that many people had.

Other forces are afraid of the Xuanyin Demon Sect, but the Taifeng Chamber of Commerce is not.

Taifeng Chamber of Commerce is the first chamber of commerce in the merchant alliance. It has strong financial resources and has close contacts with the major forces in the surrounding Immortal Cultivation Kingdom.

Not only that, the background of Tai Fung Chamber of Commerce is legendary.

There is such a rumor in Jing State:

Many years ago, a son of good fortune was born in the Jing Kingdom. He went to the most prosperous Central Region of Daqing and became the True Lord of Nascent Soul.

Moreover, the son of luck joined the ancient Nascent Soul-level sect inherited from the Central Region.

The reason why Jing Kingdom can maintain neutrality is because of its geographical location and lack of fourth-level spiritual veins, which is said to be related to this rumor.

The Taifeng Chamber of Commerce claimed that the son of luck originally came from the family to which their chamber of commerce belonged.

Among the three major chambers of commerce, there is another Feiyan Chamber of Commerce, which also makes similar claims, claiming to have some relationship with the son of destiny.

Maybe it's true, maybe it's the business alliance's campaign.

Anyway, the Jing Kingdom has been neutral for so many years and has experienced minor disasters, but it has not been annexed by its neighboring countries so far.

"Young Master Ling, curiosity can kill people!"

Li Hai's gaze was like a hawk, fixed on Ling Feng's face, bringing an inexplicable chill to the latter.

He withdrew his gaze and said indifferently:

"My master learned that Lu Zhenren had an inspiring reputation for forming elixirs at an advanced age, and that he was of noble character and highly respected, so he asked Mr. Li to come over and congratulate him."

"This is a step for our holy religion to integrate into the orthodoxy of the world of immortality! With Master Lu's heart and character, he should not reject our goodwill."

After listening to Li Hai's explanation, everyone was thoughtful.

Although Xuanyin Sect is legalized, there are still prejudices and barriers between it and the orthodox world of immortality.

Lu Changan formed elixirs at an advanced age, and his reputation as an inspiration spread far and wide. The holding of the elixir-forming ceremony has become a hot topic in the Jing Kingdom's immortality community recently.

Lu Changan is a good old man, and his reputation is rising. The Demon Sect wants to integrate into the orthodoxy, or use him as an entry point, as a test.

Believe it or not, the monks present could find no other reason.

Lu Changan is just a practicing Taoist cultivator. There is no need to make friends with him openly and openly with such a giant as the Demon Sect.

Even if there is a bribe, it will be done privately.

…

During the elixir-forming ceremony, Li Hai only stayed for half an hour before getting up and leaving.

During this period, he only toasted a glass of wine with Lu Changan and had almost no interaction with other monks.

"This matter is a bit strange."

Young Master Ling looked at the direction Li Hai left with twinkling eyes.

He had dealt with Li Hai and knew that both Liang Shaotian and his disciples were very proud.

On the surface, Young Master Ling could not find any flaws in Li Hai's words just now, but he always felt that it was not that simple.

Involuntarily, Young Master Ling became interested in the "Master Changqing" present.

Previously, Li Hai had only toasted to Lu Changan. None of the other real people present, including him, Young Master Ling, enjoyed such treatment.

Young Master Ling came over to attend the celebration, just on a whim.

Even if the Taifeng Chamber of Commerce sends people to participate, it won't be able to use a core figure like him.

Young Master Ling's mind changed and he spoke to test:

"Zhenren Lu should see that Li Hai and I are not the same person."

"This person once commented that Ling relied too much on external objects and achieved the fastest cultivation speed in the Liang Kingdom in hundreds of years. His future achievements will be limited."

"I wonder if Mr. Lu agrees with his view."

If Young Master Ling is smiling, let's see what choice this good old man Lu Changan makes.

As soon as these words came out, the main hall fell into a brief silence.

Young Master Ling and Lu Changan were respectively the fastest and slowest people in the Jing Kingdom to advance to the level of true elixirs within hundreds of years.

It can be said to be two extremes.
