The loudest bell in the Dan Sect rang, usually indicating the arrival of someone very important.
Lu Siyao excitedly rushed out of her room, secretly guessing if Xia Feng had arrived at the Dan Sect.
Before she had run far, Wuji Zi, who was sitting in a pavilion drinking tea, called out, "Siyao, it's not your Big Brother Xia, don't go."
Wuji Zi's words pulled the enthusiastic Lu Siyao back to reality. Her face then flushed red, embarrassed that her master had seen through her thoughts.
"Master, you're talking nonsense."
Lu Siyao felt a little disappointed and walked towards Wuji Zi with a hint of blame in her tone.
"Haha... you little girl, I've lived for millions of years, how can I not see through your little thoughts?" Wuji Zi teased, looking at Lu Siyao who was walking over with a blush.
"Master, how have you become like this? You're always teasing me." Lu Siyao walked into the pavilion, feigning anger.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore." Although Wuji Zi said this, his face still held a teasing smile.
It was then that Lu Siyao remembered the bell sound and asked curiously, "Master, what did that bell sound mean just now?"
"The Sect Master of the Qi Sect has arrived. Our two sects have deep origins, and although we have advanced, we still support each other. When they come to our Dan Sect, or we go to their Qi Sect, we use the most enthusiastic welcome." Wuji Zi explained.
"There's such a thing? Then why has the Qi Sect come to our Dan Sect this time?"
Lu Siyao was a little confused and asked with curious eyes.
"To show off, essentially. The origins I mentioned earlier are that we were once of the same lineage, and later split into the Dan Sect and the Qi Sect. Whether it's alchemy or artifact refining, controlling the heat is crucial. So, you'll go and meet the Qi Sect later."
Wuji Zi explained to Lu Siyao, and also asked her to go and meet the Qi Sect who came to show off.
After all, Lu Siyao had something to show off.
The disciples of the Qi Sect were all burly men, with nothing to show off.
Lu Siyao was now a genuine ninth-grade alchemist, and even Wuji Zi admired her control of heat. Therefore, showing off and putting them in their place wouldn't be a problem.
Of course, among the younger generation of disciples, Lu Siyao was the most outstanding. Although her seniority was high, she was still considered a disciple of the younger generation of the Dan Sect.
"Master, can I go?" Lu Siyao asked.
"Of course. Nowadays, apart from you, it's probably difficult for the Dan Sect to put the Qi Sect in their place. Truly, one generation is not as good as the next." Wuji Zi nodded.
As his disciple, Lu Siyao's fire control technique was naturally not a cause for concern.
"Okay, then I'll go now." Lu Siyao nodded and got up, heading towards the main hall.
As Wuji Zi had said, the Qi Sect's visit was to challenge the Dan Sect in fire control techniques.
The last challenge was three million years ago. Now they had returned, wanting to prove that their fire control techniques were the authentic ones.
The two sects had been competing for who truly possessed the authentic fire control techniques for countless years. Regardless of who won, neither side was convinced.
"Sect Master Mu, it's been many years, and you still look as majestic as ever."
An old man with a goatee, wearing a white robe, greeted Mu Liangchen with a smile.
"Sect Master Bei, you haven't been well either." Mu Liangchen cupped his hands towards him and then said, "Please have a seat and have some tea."
Sect Master Bei Jisi of the Qi Sect, with a face full of smiles, looked at the disciples he brought and said, "Why don't you quickly pay your respects to the Sect Master of the Dan Sect."
Bei Jisi had brought a total of five people, all disciples of the younger generation, looking vibrant and full of vitality. Among them was one at the late stage of Immortal Emperor.
Reaching the late stage of Immortal Emperor at such a young age was truly eye-catching.
"Greetings, Sect Master Mu."
As soon as Bei Jisi finished speaking, everyone bowed to Mu Liangchen.
"You're welcome." Mu Liangchen waved his hand.
At this moment, Bei Jisi looked around and asked, "Where are your younger generation disciples? Why haven't I seen any of them present?"
"They are still cultivating. When Sect Master Bei is ready for the competition, I will have them present." Mu Liangchen replied with a subtle smile.
In fact, in recent years, the disciples were not as good as the previous generation. This competition might result in a loss to the Qi Sect.
The only one worth mentioning was his grand-aunt. What kind of situation was this?
"Haha..."
Bei Jisi chuckled, seeming to understand Mu Liangchen's expression, and then pointed to the Immortal Emperor realm expert, saying, "How do you find my disciple?"
Mu Liangchen had already noticed him. When he entered, Mu Liangchen had taken a second look. To be an Immortal Emperor at such a young age was indeed surprising.
But after experiencing Xia Feng, Mu Liangchen felt that such people were nothing. Compared to Xia Feng, they were like a pile of dung.
If it were in the past, Mu Liangchen would have been astonished.
Times had changed. His current perspective was so high that he even saw himself as a waste, let alone others.
"He's alright." Mu Liangchen said his inner thoughts plainly.
It was indeed his inner thought; he genuinely felt he was alright.
He couldn't exactly say he was incredibly amazing, could he?
The crucial point was that he couldn't say that.
Bei Jisi saw that Mu Liangchen's words were somewhat perfunctory and asked, "Are you looking down on my Qi Sect's disciples? I assume the Dan Sect must have even more outstanding disciples."
"No, no, I'm not looking down on them. It's just that as one gets older, one's perspective changes." Mu Liangchen quickly waved his hands.
"In Sect Master Mu's eyes, what kind of person is considered excellent?" Bei Jisi asked.
"For example, an Immortal Emperor under the age of one hundred." Mu Liangchen brought up Xia Feng again.
Xia Feng was under one hundred years old. When Xia Feng first came to the Dan Sect to be selected as a disciple, he had mentioned his age. He was also under one hundred years old, just like Lu Siyao.
Not to mention Xia Feng, even Lu Siyao was admirable.
What Mu Liangchen had just said was his inner thought, but to Bei Jisi, it was utterly absurd, stretching the truth beyond belief.
An Immortal Emperor under a hundred years old? Why didn't you fly to the sky?
"Haha... it's been many years, Sect Master Mu, you've become so humorous." Bei Jisi laughed heartily, then his expression turned serious and he said,
"Sect Master Mu, an Immortal Emperor under the age of one hundred, that's something one wouldn't dare to dream of. I truly didn't expect that something I wouldn't dare to dream of could be spoken by Sect Master Mu. I truly admire it."
With a different perspective, one's view of things naturally changes. Mu Liangchen paid no attention to Bei Jisi's sarcasm.
Because you cannot explain something unknown to someone who is ignorant.
It's like a frog in a well, can you argue with it about the size of the sky?
Even if you argue with it for a lifetime, it will still be the size of the well opening.
It's the same with matters between men and women. Some people say what something tastes like without ever having tried it.
How can you know what it tastes like if you don't try it?
