Immortal Road.

Chapter 449: Dao changes fortune and luck, two lives go together

As soon as Lin Fan came in, he immediately attracted everyone's attention and became the focus of the whole audience!
Everyone's eyes involuntarily glanced at the palm of his hand, where there was a dazzling blue light, shining brightly in the hall.

"Thunder Lotus Seed!"

Many people couldn't help but exclaim, their eyes widened!
Lin Fan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, tilted his head at a 45-degree angle to look at the palace beam, threw the blue light in his hand up and shook it in front of his chest, looking nonchalant.

"The Thunder Lotus Seed is in the Zhongshan Thunder Pond, held by the sect guardian spirit beast Elder Thunder Crocodile. How did you get it?"

Some people couldn't help but express doubts, it was really unbelievable.

The Zhongshan of Zixiao Sect is located among many peaks. There is a thunder pool in the Zhongshan, which is a treasure land accumulated by the sect over countless years.

This thunder pool is clearly an imitation of the phantom of the thunder pool that appears above the nine heavens when one is transcending tribulation. It is used to collect and store thunder for the use of cultivation by all the disciples in the sect who need it.

It is said that after many years in the pool, some treasures will be born, such as the 'Thunder Pool Jade', 'Thunder Pool Crystal', 'Thunder Pool Marrow' and so on that are talked about in the cultivation world.

Ordinary disciples have no idea whether there is such a thing or not. After all, they cannot get such a thing, and they have no chance to go to the Zhongshan Thunder Pool to take a look on weekdays.

Only true disciples with thunder spiritual roots who have made great contributions will be allowed to practice on the side or comprehend some skills and magical powers.

However, there is one thing that does exist. It was brought back from somewhere unknown in the outside world by a certain generation of ancestors thousands of years ago and planted in the thunder pool.

"Purple Gold Thunder Lotus".

It is said that this thunder lotus will only produce one lotus seed every hundred years. It is extremely precious and is a sacred object of thunder.

It can be used to refine and improve cultivation, assist in the comprehension of thunder magic, and be used to refine pills and grind medicines to resist thunder disasters. It can even release power at critical moments, comparable to a full-strength attack from a Nascent Soul cultivator!
It can be called a life-saving artifact!

This kind of thing has always been kept by the old crocodile sleeping in the thunder pool. No one is allowed to approach it, let alone pick the lotus seeds.

Not only the head of the sect can’t do it, but also the Nascent Soul stage elders of the sect can’t do it!

Because this thunder crocodile is of an extremely high generation, it is the spiritual beast of the ancestor who brought back the Purple Gold Thunder Lotus!
Having lived for thousands of years, everyone in the sect has to respectfully call him Thunder Crocodile Ancestor when they see him!

This is the power of top-tier giants.

It is capable of gathering the strength of the entire sect to worship such a spiritual beast. If it were an ordinary sect, they would not be able to satisfy its appetite, let alone provide it with a huge amount of vital energy, or a special place suitable for it to live.

Why should I stay here with you?

This old crocodile has stayed in Zixiao Sect for thousands of years, doing nothing but eating, drinking and sleeping. Everyone in the sect treats him like an ancestor and does not dare to neglect him in the slightest.

Because this is the sect's foundation, and at critical moments it is the confidence to deter foreign enemies.

At that time, the three sects of the Demonic Path united, and nearly ten Yuanying stage masters led hundreds of thousands of disciples to attack the mountain. This Thunder Crocodile Ancestor also displayed his divine power, looking around and showing off his strength!
Let the world see how powerful the Zixiao Sect’s foundation is!
But the Thunder Crocodile Ancestor was clearly unkind. On normal days, unless it was a critical moment for the sect, he would basically sleep in the Thunder Pool and would not move a step forward. He was also too lazy to pay attention to anyone who approached him.

How did this kid Lin Fan get the Thunder Lotus Seeds, the most precious treasure in the center of the Thunder Pool?

Everyone in Zixiao Sect was amazed and dazzled by the dazzling blue light in his hand.

"Hey, just because others can't get it doesn't mean I can't either!"

"It's not convenient to tell you the inside story, but the stuff came from a legitimate source, not by stealing or robbing, I got it by my own ability!"

"Life is so wonderful that even I can't help but admire myself"

As Lin Fan spoke, he looked down at his own hands, revealing deep affection and sighing.

With that pretentious attitude, all the disciples present, including the peak master, wanted to beat him up!
Even the master's eyelids trembled at this moment. After so many years, he couldn't stand this guy anymore.

Fortunately, it is a righteous sect. If it were an evil sect, a lot of people would come to attack you. Would you be able to cultivate peacefully to the Golden Core stage?
For the sake of Xuanjin Peak's master, Jinmei Zhenren, everyone was reluctant to say anything.

However, there is no need to be polite to the master of Shenmu Peak. Not only does he have enough seniority, his strength is also among the best in the sect, and his status is not bad. The number of people in Shenmu Peak is no less than that of the three main branches, and his own disciples are in competition with Lin Fan.

He snorted coldly with a bad tone.

"Lei Jinzi, what a great honor! You really kept your uncles waiting for a long time!"

"We are here to discuss a matter of life and death for the sect, but you chose to sneak out of the hall to fool around. Look how anxious your master is."

"With your impulsive personality, you act on impulse. How can you be capable of taking on such a big responsibility?!"

The peak masters present also nodded secretly, agreeing in their hearts.

Lin Fan's personality is too eccentric. He is imaginative and does his own thing. It can be said that he is completely unsociable.

No, this kid has never been sociable since he was a child!

The key point is, there has been a saying circulating in the sect for a long time. When Lin Fan was young, he said this to everyone at a sect competition.

"How can a pheasant be associated with a phoenix?"

When these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent. Everyone was stunned by this boy's outrageous words!
Who are you looking down on?

Everyone who can enter Zixiao Sect as an inner disciple is a top genius, and no one is willing to submit to anyone else. How come such a person suddenly appeared, who is so arrogant to no limit.

Moreover, Lin Fan’s quotations do not end here.

Even books can be published in the sect, and there are also things like:
"Excuse me, everyone here is garbage."

"That year, I put my hands in my pockets and didn't know what an opponent was."

"The sparrow knows the ambition of the swan."

"Summer insects cannot speak of ice!"

"All the saints and sages in the past have failed to reach the peak, only we can reach the peak."

"The world is turbid but I am clear, the world is drunk but I am sober."

It is said that "Lin Fan's Quotations" was secretly excerpted and collected by many disciples in Zixiao Sect who admired his arrogance!

Of course, most of them are outer disciples with ordinary talents, who like this kind of eclecticism and the eccentricity of treating all kinds of inner geniuses as dirt.

There were even many female disciples who admired his cynical character, secretly fell in love with him, and sent him flirtatious glances.

In short, in Zixiao Sect, Lin Fan is an outlier and no one can control him!

They are too lazy to care about those who can take care of it. The elders in the Nascent Soul stage are high and mighty and don't care about worldly affairs. The sect leader is busy dealing with a lot of official business every day. How can he have the leisure time to care about his disciples' nonsense?
The elders from each peak couldn't bring themselves to bully the younger generation, not to mention that Lin Fan's master, Jin Mei Zhenren, was also a person of that kind, so the disciple should follow like master.

Not to mention those peers below, they can’t beat Lin Fan in verbal battles, and they are no match for him in a fight!
Lin Fan just goes out for a while, equipped with all kinds of weapons, and picks up equipment wherever he goes. What can you use to fight him?

In the end, everyone was helpless and could only watch as this kid cultivated all the way to the Golden Core stage in just a few decades. He became more and more rampant, and even some of the older generation were not as strong as him.

However, for the leader of some powerful Taoist sects like the Lord of Shenmu Peak, Lin Fan is still just a junior and is still qualified to preach.

However, before the Golden Eyebrow Patriarch could come out to defend him, Lin Fan was the first to shake his head and sing a different tune. However, he knew how to behave according to the person he was facing, and his tone was respectful and polite.

"Uncle Shenmu is right, but I want to correct one thing. My Taoist name is no longer Lei Jinzi. I changed it a few days ago."

The master of Shenmu Peak was involuntarily led astray and subconsciously asked:
"Changed to what?"

Lin Fan was unable to suppress the corners of his mouth. Who could blame him for being born with a pouty mouth? A smile appeared on his face again. "Fortune and luck, when blessings come to the heart, luck will come naturally. A sincere gentleman, if you get your treasure, will have both fortune and luck."

"Thirty years of fame are dust and dirt, eight thousand miles of journey are clouds and moon, and Lei Jinzi is a little off. I don't think it fits well, so I changed it."

"You can also call me Master Fulu, or Taoist Fulu from now on. It's all fine with me!"

Everyone in the hall was stunned, not because of the fact that he changed his name.

Taoist names like Lei Jinzi, which are bestowed by small sects, are simply distributed according to the organization and named to match the attributes. Some people do not like them when they grow up, and many of them change their names.

But when you give yourself a Taoist name, it must have some basis, citing classics, and be able to withstand scrutiny. It must sound ancient and meaningful, so as to highlight the Taoist style.

What the hell is 'Fu Lu'?
The word "Fu" is understandable, as it represents opportunity and luck in the world of cultivation.

Lu, isn’t this fame and honor?
As a cultivator, how can you be greedy for such false reputation? You should be indifferent to fame and fortune and remain steadfast in your determination!

Of course, fame in the world of cultivation, in other words, is power. For example, the fight for the position of the master of Sangyu Peak is the same thing, it's just a different name.

But in the right way, everyone is relatively decent. You can call it hypocrisy or double standards, but there are many things that cannot be said openly. This is the rule framework and the general environment.

However, Lin Fan is different. He is so unique. He often speaks the truth and exposes other people's scars, which makes many people hate him. Of course, his master Jinmei Zhenren calls him "innocent heart".

But no matter what, if you are a casual cultivator, it’s okay to come up with a Taoist name. No one will care if you choose one. After all, you have elders!
Jin Mei Zhenren looked unhappy and turned to ask him.

"When did you change it? How come I don't know?"

When Lin Fan faced his master, he immediately put on a fawning expression again, and he changed his expression several times, leaving all the disciples stunned.

"Ah, Master, I see that you are so busy and overworked, so why bother you with such a small matter as naming? I can just change it myself. I thought I would report to you when you are free."

Lin Fan is obviously shameless, speaking arrogantly to others and being extremely attentive to his backers, but Master Jinmei still falls for it!
So his anger disappeared, and he just nodded with a little dissatisfaction and gave a light reminder.

"Next time if something like this happens, don't do it rashly. Remember to discuss it with me."

"I know, I know."

The master of Shenmu Peak, who was standing by, looked at Lin Fan nodding and bowing continuously. He wanted to say something but his throat was stuck and he couldn't utter it.

Since the master doesn't pursue the matter, what else can I say?
Oh, that’s not right. I think this is not what we are discussing. Why did we suddenly change the subject?
The master in the main hall didn't have time to listen to the master and disciple arguing. He wanted to let them deal with such trivial matters as changing their names on their own. He had important things to do now, so he interrupted them directly.

"Alright, go back and discuss family matters. This is the main hall of the sect. How can this be allowed?"

The two of them quickly turned around and confessed their crime.

The head master didn't bother to argue. He knew that both the master and the disciple were weird. After what happened just now, he became even more worried about Lin Fan, so he made the decision directly.

"Let Yumuzi from Shenmu Peak go to Luosong Mountain Range to seek help from the demon king. There is no need for a military order. Just do your best."

"If you have any difficulties or requests, please raise them as soon as possible. The sect will do its best to satisfy you."

"If there is no problem, I will give you the official letter with the seal of Zixiao Sect. You will have a token when you meet the Demon King."

The head master doesn't like to beat around the bush when doing things or speaking, nor does he want to put too much pressure on Yumuzi. There is no need to use something like a military order, which leaves no way out, to force his disciples.

Everything in the orthodox sect is easy to talk about and everything can be discussed.

The master of Shenmu Peak was overjoyed and quickly bowed to express his gratitude on behalf of his disciple. Yumuzi bowed calmly and said nothing more.

"The disciples are already prepared and can set off at any time."

His voice was crisp, his will was firm, he was mature and steady, and his attitude was serious, which was in sharp contrast to Lin Fan just now. Naturally, everyone in the hall nodded in support.

"Hey, this"

Jin Mei Zhenren didn't expect that the head brother would make a decision without saying a word, without even giving him a chance. He stretched his hand in the air, hesitating, wanting to think it over again but knowing that the head brother's authority could not be questioned.

"Brother Jinmei, it has only been half a century since Lin Fan broke through the Jindan stage. Yumuzi is older and has been immersed in the middle Jindan stage for some time. Let him go so that we, as the master, can be more assured of his safety."

The head master gave him face and made an excuse about the difference in their cultivation levels, asking Lin Fan to go back and practice for a while, while leaving the dangerous task to his senior brother Yumuzi.

Everyone in the hall was very discerning at this time. They praised the leader for his wisdom, congratulated the master of Shenmu Peak and Yumuzi, and persuaded Jinmei Zhenren and Lin Fan to be at ease.

Jinmei Zhenren had no choice but to accept his fate. After all, he had been in the business for so long that he knew when to make a fuss and when to obey.

Although Lin Fan looks arrogant, he also knows how to judge the situation. He speaks his mind frankly to his peers, and knows how to bow his head and show respect to those in high positions.

"It all depends on the leader."

The master nodded. No matter how fearless this kid is, at least he knows his own authority within the Zixiao Sect. He is quite sensible in this regard.

He personally engraved a jade slip with his spiritual consciousness, wrote a letter with a spiritual pen, and then took out the seal of the leader of the Zixiao Sect and simply poked it at the token!
Seal the verdict!

The big red thunder seal appeared, which proved the diplomatic qualifications. When the time came to show it to the Demon King, it would be enough to win some respect. The name of Zixiao Sect was still quite valuable in the surrounding countries.

Just as he was about to hand the two tokens to Yumuzi, the Grand Elder of the Zixiao Sect, who had been silent in the jade talisman, suddenly spoke from the other side of the passage.

"Let Lin Fan go as well. The two of us can go separately. This will increase the chances of success."

"Great Elder?"

The master's hands trembled, a little confused.

Hasn't he always been involved in government affairs? Why did he suddenly intervene this time?
After all, the Grand Elder of the Zixiao Sect is a thousand-year-old monster. He has a longer-term view of many things and thinks much more than others.

"Lin Fan just obtained the Thunder Lotus Seed. This thing has been with the Thunder Crocodile Ancestor for many years, and it has been stained with some of its aura. If he encounters a demon king who doesn't give face to the Purple Sky Sect, maybe he can get some back from the Thunder Crocodile Ancestor."

The master sect leader suddenly realized that in the eyes of the Demon King, perhaps the importance of the Zixiao Sect might not be as important as that of the Thunder Crocodile Ancestor.

After all, the age of this guardian beast is there. It is not only a symbol of the Zixiao Sect's foundation, but also has some reputation among the demon clan.

If this is the case, Lin Fan's side is indeed a breakthrough point.

Without hesitation, he wrote another letter, stamped it and sent it to Yumuzi and Lin Fan, telling them to be careful.

After entering Luosong Mountains, the sect could not provide any assistance, and everything depended on themselves.

Lin Fan originally thought that he had no chance and that he would have to give up all the great achievements, but he did not expect that there would be a ray of hope!

He and Yumuzi quickly took the token with both hands and bowed deeply.

"We will remember the master's motto and live up to his trust!"

at the same time.

Larch Mountains, dirty canyon.

A belt of illusory wind and a starry sky fantasy.

When Lin Shan heard the sound coming from the black hole vortex, he was worried about the safety of the sapling of the Phantom Ancient Tree, so he hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and plunged into it!
