My Optimized Immortal Life

Chapter 292 The Ceremony Opens

There are many forces around Luoying Sect, including more than a dozen third-level sects and a large number of fourth-level sects, totaling six.

These six families all learned about the Luoying Sect's Nascent Soul Ceremony and received invitations. Among them was the Chiyu Sect, which had been defeated by Chen Qing and had its Earth Fire Abyss taken away.

True Lord Chiyu sat high in the main hall, looking at the sect elders below, picked up the sound transmission talisman in his hand, and his face was calm.

"Elder Xu, the Luoying Sect's Nascent Soul Ceremony is about to begin, and they've even sent invitations to surrounding sects. It's a formidable force. How do you think we should respond?"

The elder Xu who was called was the most experienced cultivator in the Chiyu Sect. When the previous sect leader was still alive, he served as his assistant. Therefore, whenever there was something important in the sect, Master Chiyu had to consult Elder Xu first.

"The True Lord of the Luoying Sect only recently achieved the Nascent Soul stage. The purpose of holding the Nascent Soul Ceremony is self-evident: first, to establish authority, and second, to establish diplomatic relations."

Elder Xu paused and continued.

"The sects he invited are mostly those near the Luoying Sect. This move clearly shows that he wants to gain a foothold in the southern part of the Central Region... In response to this invitation, I believe I should go first."

After listening to what Elder Xu said, True Lord Chiyu nodded. Then, he looked at the other elders of the sect. Seeing that everyone else nodded in thought and no one offered any suggestions, he couldn't help but frown.

"In that case, I'll go there."

True Lord Chiyu no longer paid attention to these elders, but looked up at the open door in front of the main hall.

He thought again of the battle with Chen Qing. It had to be said that in all his practice so far, no one had ever been able to crush him in terms of magic, which made him interested in Chen Qing.

Therefore, even if Elder Xu disagreed, True Lord Chiyu still wanted to go.

The reaction of the Chiyu Sect was similar to that of the other five major sects. Although Chen Qing was unknown, those who could achieve the Nascent Soul stage were not ordinary people. What's more, Chen Qing specially invited them, which was a signal of goodwill and also showed Chen Qing's sincerity.

This is also the first step of Chen Qing's plan.

He had just arrived and had no foundation in the Central Region. The Luoying Sect was only a third-level sect and did not yet have the foundation of a fourth-level sect. Therefore, Chen Qing had to first show goodwill to the surrounding sects and try to win them over so that the Luoying Sect would have room for development.

To advance to the Nascent Soul stage, the demand for resources is even higher. Without the assistance of a sect, it is impossible to make any progress in the Nascent Soul stage by relying on oneself unless there is a fortuitous encounter.

Chen Qing naturally understood this principle, and Han Qiu Shui also understood it. This was the deal between the two of them. Chen Qing would be the top leader of the Luoying Sect, while Han Qiu Shui would be responsible for developing the Luoying Sect and providing Chen Qing with a place to practice.

Of course, it has just begun, and Luoying Sect has not yet fully utilized the three resources. Therefore, Chen Qing cannot rely on them for his current practice, which is why he chose the Earth Fire Abyss.

A few days later.

The entire Luoying Sect became lively. The news of Chen Qing's promotion to Yuanying Zhenjun spread throughout the sect, surprising countless disciples. This was Yuanying Zhenjun, and only one in ten thousand could achieve it. Although they knew that Chen Qing's cultivation was profound and far surpassed Han Qiu Shui, they had never thought that Chen Qing could actually be promoted to Yuanying.

However, this is a good thing. After all, Chen Qing is an elder of Luoying Sect. His advancement to the Nascent Soul stage will benefit Luoying Sect and it will be promoted to a fourth-level sect.

However, when they thought of this, all the disciples couldn't help but think of Di Jian. Ever since Zhang Qiubai came to the mortal world, Chen Qing had only Di Jian as his direct disciple. Now that Chen Qing has been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, Di Jian's status in the sect will surely rise.

This makes many people envious.

A Nascent Soul-level master is an extremely rare opportunity, even in the Central Region.

Who wouldn't be envious of being able to be his disciple and receive his training, at least being able to achieve the Jindan stage?

As for Di Jian himself, he was also a little bit unbelievable.

He and Chen Qing have been living together in the courtyard for several years, and he is familiar with Chen Qing's personality. The latter is extremely kind to him, never failing to answer his questions and doubts, and even personally guiding his cultivation. Di Jian felt that he was really lucky to meet such a master.

The Nascent Soul Ceremony was held, and the entire Luoying Sect was extremely lively. At the horizon, six beams of light came, each with fourth-level mana fluctuations. It was obvious that the six sects had arrived.

Six beams of light stopped outside the Luoying Sect's formation, revealing the appearance of a flying boat. The faint aura of fourth-level magic power made the disciples outside the sect feel as if they were facing a great enemy, and they couldn't stop trembling all over.

However, a fourth-level aura also came from the Luoying Sect. It stepped out of the formation, stood in the void, looked at the six flying boats, and a smile appeared on its face.

He walked closer to the six flying boats and started looking from the left.

A middle-aged man stood at the bow of the boat. His expression was calm, but after he cast his gaze at Chen Qing, there was a hint of fighting intent in his eyes.

This person is none other than Chiyu Zhenjun.

He looked to the side and saw that no one had gotten off the boat. He snorted coldly and then walked away from the flying boat.

When the two met, Chen Qing was the first to salute with his fists clasped.

"Fellow Daoist Chiyu, I have benefited greatly from our discussion a few days ago. I would like to thank you in advance. My Taoist name is Yin Yang. Since you are here, please join the sect."

After these words were spoken, a look of surprise first appeared on Master Chiyu's face, but he quickly reacted and saluted Chen Qing with his fists clasped.

"You are wrong, my friend. The fight we had back then was enough to show how profound your background is. I am not as good as you. I came here this time to discuss things with you."

After saying that, True Lord Chiyu flipped his hand and took out a spiritual medicine. It was half a meter long, with black roots and rich spiritual energy wrapped around it. Even Chen Qing was a little surprised.

"Is this... Xuanling Ginseng?"

Upon hearing this, Chiyu Zhenjun nodded.

"This is my personal collection. I heard that fellow Taoist was going to hold a grand ceremony, so I brought it here as a thank you gift."

"This is a nearly fourth-grade elixir. Fellow Daoist, this thank-you gift is truly grand. Please join the sect quickly."

After accepting the Xuanling ginseng, Chen Qing let True Lord Chiyu join the sect. Then, he looked at the flying boats of the remaining five major sects.

All the people on these five flying boats were Nascent Soul cultivators, either their own sect leaders or the top elders, and they also presented gifts.

What the Dian Cang Sect worships is a sacred sky-blue tree, which is an excellent material for refining weapons and is only one step away from the fourth level.

Among the remaining four major sects, the Earth King Palace presented a piece of Mysterious Ghost Soil, which is also an extremely rare third-grade top-level spiritual material, while the Dongyan Sect took out a piece of Dongji Purple Leaf, a fourth-grade spiritual material.

Piaomiao Pavilion took out a water-repellent coat, which was a fourth-tier spiritual treasure. Yuxiao Sect took out a soul-slaying sword, which was also a fourth-tier spiritual treasure.

Chen Qing collected them one by one, and suddenly felt that the six major sects were extremely generous. Treasures of the fourth level appeared in an endless stream, which made him, a weak person, very satisfied.
