Time flies by.

In the secret room, a figure was shrouded in golden light, and the rhythmic sound of breathing slowly echoed.

After three months of practice, Lin Shan's physical training has begun to show results.

The "Nine Transformations of the Golden Body" is indeed a secret of the Dai family. This body-building method is an adaptation of a Buddhist classic that is extremely yang and strong. Therefore, non-Buddhists can also practice it. It is very effective just for body-building.

.

According to what is written on the cloth, there are indeed nine levels of steps, from one to nine.

After nine rounds of perfection, it is equivalent to a pure body, and you can start preparing to condense the golden elixir.

For Lin Shan, who is in the soul elixir stage, there is no difficulty in learning this technique. It is equivalent to taking a shortcut to the finish line in advance, then returning and walking through the previous hurdles again, and the difficulty is greatly reduced.

Feeling the energy gradually rising in his body at this moment, Lin Shan slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, his body is plump again, his complexion is rosy, the dark circles under his eyes have disappeared, his lips are no longer dry, his internal organs have regained balance, and he has returned to the handsome young man he once was.

"Huh~ Finally I don't have to face people with a weak face..."

Counting the time, three months are almost here.

If I still have the same dignified appearance as when I just came out of seclusion, I will most likely become the laughing stock of the major forces in Luxi. Of course, no one dares to bring it up in person, and no one dares to laugh at Jin Dan in person, but secretly

There will definitely be gossip.

Monks are also human beings, and naturally they also like to gossip and have fun.

Lin Shan is now refreshed, the confidence on his face appears again, and he feels full of strength again!

"Squeak~"

Pushing open the door of the training room and walking out of the palace where he lived, he saw a circle of rockery and flowing water outside. The disciples of the Xun Gu Sect naturally spared no effort in building a residence for the leader. Lin Shan's mood became better and better.

He stretched out his hand and a stack of message symbols flew from somewhere in the courtyard.

Most of them are reports from his subordinates. In the past three months, hundreds of forces have sent their representatives to pay homage to the mountain.

Among them, all seventy-two forces from the Lujiang League were present, and the remaining sects that had established diplomatic relations with the Xun Gu Sect over the years all accepted the invitation and came to Tianfu Mountain with generous gifts.

Shanmen, which is usually deserted, becomes lively during this period.

Groups of members of his sect with different costumes visited the Xun Gu Sect and contacted each other. When the time came, the main event came when the leader of the Xun Gu Sect came out of seclusion.

What surprised Lin Shan was that among the forces that came to congratulate him this time, there were also many Jindan masters.

The other nine of the top ten elders in the Lujiang League all came to Jin Danqi to congratulate him in person, which was quite a show of honor. After all, they are all die-hard allies now, and everyone will be harmed and prospered.

The ancestors of the four great families in Wangyue City, the leader of Lingyun Sect among the four sects in Lunan, the leader of Xianhe Sect, the leader of Zhaoshen Castle, the leader of Liuyang Sect, and the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Yang family, the mining giant of Luzhong County,

The ancestor of the Yang family in the late Jindan period!

This time the Yang family did not randomly send a real person from the Jindan stage like the last time Xun Gu Sect was established. Instead, the ancestor of the Yang family came in person. This was also the first time for this old man to visit Xun Gu Sect, which made Lin Shan slightly

be surprised.

He is also a smart man and knows that even if Xun Gu Sect worked closely with the Yang family before, the ancestor of the Yang family would not come to congratulate him in person. He must have other important matters to discuss.

In addition, there was also a visit from a strange face, Jin Dan Zhenren.

Doctor of the Five Classics of Yunchuan Academy, Zhou Zhenren with the Buddhist name "Chongli".

On behalf of Yunchuan Academy, Zhou Zhenren came to support Xun Gu Sect, the financial backer behind it, which was considered as it should be. Even so, the senior leaders in the sect were flattered, and the disciples in the sect were also honored.

Yunchuan Academy is one of the top ten academies in the Lu Kingdom. Although it ranks in the middle, it is still an incredible power.

Belonging to the second echelon of the top aristocratic families in the Lu State, there are dozens of Jindan-level real people in the family.

A truly behemoth.

Lin Shan didn't feel anything at all. He was from the Black Lotus Sect, which was once the top sect in the Demonic Way. Even if he is cleansed now, he still had a glorious time in the underworld, so he was indifferent and mediocre.

But now that the "Nine Turns of the Golden Body" has been practiced and the problem of kidney deficiency has been temporarily solved, we can't neglect our new and old friends, and we should treat them well.

…

Three days later, a grand meeting was held on the top of Tianfu Mountain.

The leader of Xun Gu has broken through the golden elixir stage, opened the mountain gate to welcome friends from all over the world, and hundreds of forces have gathered together.

Some forces from the Lujiang River Basin and even Western Shandong came with their teams one by one. In total, there were thousands of people. There was no room for them in the hall, and some seats were placed outside the hall.

Everyone exchanged cups, chatted and laughed, groups of dancing girls swayed gracefully, and plates of delicacies were placed on the table.

During the banquet, representatives of many forces arranged their seats in order, from front to back according to their backgrounds, and toasted to Lin Shan, the leader of Xun Gu Cult, who was above the main hall.

Of course, while congratulating, presenting gifts is also a necessary part.

"Zhenren Zhou, Doctor of the Five Classics of Yunchuan Academy, presented me with a gourd of purple immortal sand, wishing Master Xun Gu a great success!"

A rites official recited loudly, and below there was a disciple from Yunchuan Academy holding a big red tray with a purple gourd on it. Seeing that this disciple in the late stage of Qi training was walking cautiously and his face was red from suppressing it, this gift turned out to be true.

Extremely expensive and "heavy".

Lin Shan looked down and was the first person on the right. In Lu State, the right is respected.

Zhou Zhenren is an elegant middle-aged man with a dignified appearance. He is raising his glass from afar, smiling at Lin Shan who is standing above him, and nodding in greeting.

Lin Shan also raised his glass in toast and responded with a smile on his face, secretly saying that Zhenren Zhenren was really grand this week. A gourd of purple fairy sand was equivalent to a fourth-level spiritual material. It was indeed a big deal!

Of course, the Xun Gu Sect also donates tens of thousands of spiritual stones to Yunchuan Academy every year. The amount has been huge over the years, and there will be long-term cooperation every year in the future. This gift is not a loss.

Next, the official of the Book of Rites observed the words and expressions. After watching the interaction between the two, he continued to recite the next item.

"The ancestor of the Yang family, a family of cultivators in Luzhong County, presented ten kilograms of mithril to Taibao to wish the founder of Xungu Cult Master Yun Cheng a successful start!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! A disciple of the Yang family is holding a tray, and it is extremely difficult to walk. Taibao Mithril is also a fourth-level spiritual material. Although it only weighs ten kilograms, it has the supernatural power of gravity.

, looking at his slightly trembling shoulders, you can see that he is in a reluctant state.

Lin Shan's heart moved, it was the same fourth-level spiritual material!

The ancestor of the Yang family is so generous!

Could it be that with the celebration held by this breakthrough, I can gather together the materials for my natal soul treasure?

Lin Shan was secretly looking forward to it, but on the surface he was still expressing gratitude as he raised his glass to the first row under his left hand. Upon seeing this, the ancestor of the Yang family smiled nonchalantly and drained the wine cup in his hand.

The Liji Officer was very discerning. After the Xun Gu Cult Leader and the Yang Family Patriarch had finished drinking, they immediately started chanting seamlessly. The operation was so smooth that no one could find any faults.

"The four major aristocratic families in Wangyue City jointly presented an ancient Fenglei tree to wish Master Xungu a bright future!"

The four disciples from the aristocratic families below all stepped forward, holding together a six-foot-long branch. It was only as thick as a forearm, but with the breeze flowing above it and the green arc jumping, it was clearly an incredible fourth-level spiritual material!

Lin Shan was overjoyed. He did not expect that a grand gathering would be held for a spiritual material that he rarely saw in ordinary times, and all the major forces took the initiative to send it as a congratulatory gift!

Is this power? Is it so easy?

For the first time, he discovered that sometimes things that were out of his reach would be easily solved once his strength and status increased.

With power and power, no wonder so many people are chasing fame and fortune.

If I were not the leader of a sect, but just a casual cultivator who had broken through the golden elixir stage, no one would care about me, right?

The ancient wind and thunder tree is obviously a fourth-level spiritual tree that is suitable for Lin Shan's martial arts. It was specially selected by the four major families in Wangyue City and given away in this celebration to express the importance to Lin Shan personally and the Xun Gu Sect.

Of course, how the four major families allocate their efforts in private, how they reach consensus, and what exchanges of interests they make are not known to outsiders.

Lin Shan was really grateful this time. After all, he had the dual spiritual roots of wind and thunder. This spiritual material was indeed suitable for him, so he stood up and toasted below.

The ancestors of Jindan from the four major families in Wangyue City also smiled and stood up one by one to toast in return.

When the ancestor of the Yang family saw this scene, he frowned slightly, glanced at both sides, and his face looked slightly ugly.

Zhenren Zhou from Yunchuan Academy was sitting opposite the ancestor of the Yang family. He noticed the subtlety of this and had a thoughtful look on his face.

It seems that the Lujiang League is not monolithic...

The treasure offering continues next.

"Master of Lingyun Sect, I would like to present you with a bottle of the best magic elixir to nourish your spirit, and wish Master Xungu a great future!"

"Master of the Immortal Crane Sect, I present you with a foundation-building spiritual crane, wishing Master Xun Gu a great future!

"Master Zhaosheng Castle, I will send you a puppet of the foundation-building mechanism. I wish Master Xun Gu a long and prosperous life!"

"Head of the Liuyang Sect, I would like to present you with a bowl of Pure Yang Yuanzhen Water, wishing Master Xungu to eliminate misfortune!"

…

The four sects in Lunan operate independently and are not as close as the four aristocratic families in Wangyue City, so the gifts sent by each are somewhat different, but they are all valuable gifts with their own characteristics.

Lin Shan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and toasted each other in thanks, and the four Jindan masters also returned the courtesy.

For a moment, while receiving the gift, he couldn't help but feel confused.

This scene looks a bit like the one he attended in the East China Sea with his good brothers Lin Fan and Lei Yuzi when he was still in the late stage of Qi training in the Song Dynasty. The birthday of Guizhen held on Diaolie Island was a bit similar!

At that time, he was just a newbie. He and Lin Fan watched the turtle master enjoying the pilgrimage from all directions, presenting rare treasures one by one. Sitting at the mountain gate without leaving home, he could lie down and count money endlessly, feeling in his heart

Envy, admiration and longing.

Now, he has reached the height he was before, and he has the illusion that things are right and people are different.

It's a pity that now that he is successful and famous, he no longer has his old friend to accompany him, and he doesn't know what is happening to Lin Fan now.

Wealth and honor do not return home, just like walking in brocade at night.

Of course, Lin Shan would never admit it. He actually just wanted to show off in front of his good brothers...

No way, no matter how successful you are, this is the nature of everyone.

By this time, the ten Jindan masters had finished congratulating each other, and then came a group of small forces.
To be continued...
