"Good, black never goes out of style, it feels great to wear!"
Chen Nan looked at himself in the mirror.
The only drawback was the lack of long hair!
If he had a head of long, black, shiny hair, whether he coiled it up or let it fall loosely behind him, it would enhance his charm!
Ruo Lan asked, "So, you'll wear this black formal attire for tomorrow's succession ceremony?"
"Yes, I trust your taste!" Chen Nan's lips curved upwards, and then he spread his arms, signaling for her to help him undress!
"I'm not your maid. You can do this yourself!" Ruo Lan walked out with a displeased expression.
Just as she reached the door.
Chen Nan's voice reached her ears, "Hey, you haven't answered my question yet, what kind of layout? Is there a lot of water?"
Ruo Lan gritted her teeth in anger, almost bumping into the door, "You're a scoundrel!"
"I don't want to be like this, but if a man isn't bad, women don't love him!"
------
The next day.
9 AM!
Cangyun Peak opened its mountain gates wide!
People from all sides came to witness the ceremony and ascended Cangyun Peak along the stone steps!
The number of people was not large!
Each faction could bring at most five disciples to attend the ceremony!
Of course.
These people had also prepared gifts!
Most of them were herbs that were hundreds of years old!
For the Huashan Sword Sect, these items were not valuable, but for some rogue cultivator factions, these were their most treasured possessions!
"Lin Chen, is this Cangyun Peak? It feels like a fairyland!"
Huang Rui followed Lin Chen, like Liu姥姥 entering the Grand View Garden!
Huang Rui harbored the hope of obtaining immortal destiny through Lin Chen!
Even though the Xu family opposed her coming to Cangyun Peak!
She had come here behind everyone's back!
Just to get acquainted with important people!
Lin Chen whispered, "Don't be so pathetic. You'll make me feel like I've lost face!"
Lin Chen was also a bit exasperated!
At first, he had casually mentioned that he could bring Huang Rui to attend the succession ceremony of the new sect leader of the Huashan Sword Sect. Who would have thought she would take it to heart!
And insist on coming with him!
He hadn't wanted to bring this uncultured woman with him!
But he thought that as long as he could marry Xu Qingxin, that would be enough!
"Yes, yes, it's my fault. I shouldn't be so impatient!" Huang Rui kept smiling apologetically, even though she had grievances in her heart, she didn't dare to express them.
She was afraid of angering her future son-in-law.
If that were to happen, it would be a loss that outweighed the gain!
At this moment!
A loud voice echoed from afar, "Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, Wu Daozi, has arrived!"
Hearing this!
The rogue cultivators' eyes were filled with fiery gazes!
Although the Medicine King Valley was the weakest sect among the eight top factions!
The Medicine King Valley contained countless spiritual herbs!
Moreover, Wu Daozi was the only alchemist in the cultivation world today who could refine second-grade pills!
His status was so high that he could even rival the Shu Mountain Sword Sect!
The next moment!
Wu Daozi, with a head of white hair and a youthful face, dressed in a white robe, with a majestic expression, appeared on Cangyun Peak with two young disciples, a man and a woman!
The man was exceptionally handsome and had an imposing aura!
The woman was graceful, young, and beautiful, exuding an aura of pride from within!
However, no one dared to have any dissatisfaction with these two young people!
After all, they were the prodigies of the Medicine King Valley who had not appeared for a hundred years!
The man's name was Rong Liang. At a young age, he had already reached the peak of the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment stage!
The girl's name was Yun Yao. Although her cultivation was not as high as Rong Liang's, she had reached the great perfection of the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment stage!
Most importantly!
Her achievements in alchemy were very high!
She had only taken twenty years to independently refine the Foundation Establishment Pill!
Even Wu Daozi praised her as a once-in-a-millennium genius in the field of alchemy!
As ordinary cultivators, being able to see Wu Daozi and the two young prodigies of the Medicine King Valley today!
They could brag about it for a lifetime!
"Sect Master Wu, please this way!"
Qingxi Zhenren, the Grand Elder of the Huashan Sword Sect, invited him to take a seat!
Wu Daozi nodded slightly and gave Rong Liang a look!
Rong Liang produced a square jade box the size of a palm and said, "This pill is called the Spirit Snake Pill. It was refined by my master after searching for over a hundred spirit snakes. It is a second-grade pill!"
"Taking this pill can increase one's realm by one level!"
"This is also the gift that the Medicine King Valley has prepared for the new sect leader of the Huashan Sword Sect!"
Qingxi Zhenren received it with both hands and handed it to the disciple behind him, "Record: Medicine King Valley presents one second-grade Spirit Snake Pill!"
"Yo, the old man is willing to give away a second-grade pill?"
Cang Jue, the Third Elder guarding the mountain, walked over with a smile.
He knew Wu Daozi!
They were both born in the same era!
In their youth, they were the north and south prodigies of the alchemy world!
It was a pity!
The Huashan Sword Sect had limited medicinal herbs, which were not enough for Cang Jue to grow!
Therefore!
In terms of alchemy, Wu Daozi's attainments far surpassed his!
Seeing his old friend, Wu Daozi's face showed a faint smile, "Although refining a second-grade pill is somewhat difficult, it is not a problem for this old man."
"Today is the succession of the new sect leader of the Huashan Sword Sect. Shouldn't I show some respect?"
Cang Jue took the Spirit Snake Pill, glanced at it, and showed a look of disdain, "It doesn't even have a single pill pattern. Are you embarrassed to give it away?"
Wu Daozi frowned, "According to you, you can refine higher-quality pills?"
"I naturally don't have this skill!" Cang Jue smiled, "However, someone in our Huashan Sword Sect can refine a high-grade second-grade pill!"
"Heh heh!" Wu Daozi chuckled dismissively, "So far, very few people in the cultivation world can refine second-grade pills. Perhaps you are lucky enough to refine a second-grade pill, but I don't believe anyone can refine a high-grade second-grade pill!"
He changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this anymore. What's going on? What happened to Hua Zun? Why is there a succession ceremony for a new sect leader?"
The Huashan Sword Sect had not disclosed Hua Zun's matter!
So many people didn't know the inside story!
Wu Daozi and Cang Jue were old friends, so naturally, he wanted to inquire!
Cang Jue sighed, "This is a long story. Let's wait until the succession ceremony to reveal it!"
"Playing coy!"
Wu Daozi snorted impatiently, and then said, "Even if you don't tell me the reason, you should at least tell me who the new sect leader is, right? Is it an elder, a disciple of the Qing generation, or the Guang generation?"
Cang Jue smiled and said, "You probably won't believe it when I tell you, he's a disciple of the younger generation, um, an outside disciple!"
Wu Daozi frowned, "Finding an outside disciple to be the sect leader, have you guarding elders become senile? Can he carry the banner of the Huashan Sword Sect?"
Cang Jue shrugged, "You'll know soon enough whether he can carry the banner!"
"Master Huikong of Shaolin Temple has arrived!"
A voice echoed from afar!
"I'll go and welcome that bald donkey Huikong. Make yourselves at home, don't be polite!" Cang Jue smiled and walked towards the distance, "Old man Huikong, why are you carrying a hard-boiled egg? Wow, I'm sorry, that's your head. It's even shinier than before."
"Your head is so smooth, it must have been handled by nuns quite a lot?"
