Immortals of the Mortal World Gather at the Inn!

"The Five Elements Array Flags have recognized their master; a new Pavilion Master has appeared!"

Deputy Pavilion Master Hou Chen looked at the high-ranking officials below and said excitedly.

The higher-ups below were also excited and began discussing it amongst themselves.

"Yes, after the first generation of the Pavilion Master founded our Treasure Pavilion, it disappeared, leaving only the Five Elements Array Flags."

"I vaguely remember that the complete Five Elements Array Flags seemed to have reached the level of a half-step sacred artifact."

"Haha, that's for sure! Back then, the Pavilion Master relied on the Five Elements Array Flags to withstand a Celestial Immortal cultivator from the Immortal Realm, and almost managed to kill him!"

"Unexpectedly, the Five Elements Formation Flags are making a comeback. Our Treasure Pavilion is about to show its fangs."

Hou Chen looked at the excitement of the group of executives below and did not break the atmosphere, because he was also very excited.

Suddenly, a high-ranking member said, "Vice Pavilion Master, shouldn't we invite our new Pavilion Master over so we can get to know him?"

After this executive finished speaking, the other executives below echoed his sentiments.

Hou Chen thought for a moment, then raised his hand to signal for silence and slowly said, "You probably all know our new Pavilion Master!"

"Do we know each other?"

"Could they be descendants of those powerful families in Xuanwu City?"

"That doesn't make sense. If they're from a large family, they couldn't possibly be unaware of this secret of our Treasure Pavilion!"

"Yes, it's been a thousand years since our Treasure Pavilion was founded, and we've always been in Xuanwu City. We know almost all of our secrets!"

"That's right, the scions of those powerful families have also tried, but none of them succeeded!"

While everyone was still wondering which family he belonged to, Hou Chen smiled and shook his head, saying, "None of them. His name is Li Daoxuan!"

"What?! It's that girl who got together with Lin Wanru, the head of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, as soon as she arrived in Xuanwu City!"

"If it's that person, it's not impossible. We can help the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion develop the Treasure Pavilion!"

"That's right, Vice Pavilion Master. Where is the Pavilion Master now?"

"Yes, where is the Pavilion Master now? We must pay him a visit!"

Hou Chen looked at the high-ranking officials who were calling him "Pavilion Master" and shook his head helplessly.

Hou Chen led the senior executives to the VIP room entrance, gave them a few instructions, and then pushed the door open and entered!

Just as Li Daoxuan was about to continue studying the Five Elements Array Flags, the door to the VIP room opened.

Li Daoxuan then saw the old man from before leading a group of people whose cultivation level was at least at the Tribulation Transcending stage as they entered!

Before Li Daoxuan could react, Hou Chen was the first to bow and call out, "Hou Chen greets the Pavilion Master!"

"Holy crap, that old fox!"

Seeing that Hou Chen had gotten there first, the other high-ranking members cursed under their breath and then bowed, saying, "We pay our respects to the Pavilion Master!"

"We pay our respects to the Pavilion Master!"

"We pay our respects to the Pavilion Master!"

"We wait..."

Li Daoxuan was stunned when he saw a group of powerful figures who were stronger than him suddenly bowing to him. He looked back and was completely dumbfounded when he realized that no one was there.

Seeing Li Daoxuan's reaction, Hou Chen quickly stepped forward to explain, "It's like this: before leaving, the first Pavilion Master of Jubaoge said that the person who receives the Five Elements Array Flags as their master will be our new Pavilion Master, leading Jubaoge to glory!"

Li Daoxuan seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to understand.

Seeing that everyone was still bowing and paying their respects, Li Daoxuan knew they were waiting for him to speak, so he quickly said, "Esteemed seniors, please rise."

"Furthermore, my strength is too weak; I fear I am unfit for the position of Pavilion Master!"

When the high-ranking officials heard themselves being told to stand up, they assumed that Li Daoxuan had already agreed. However, after hearing the second half of his words, they bowed again!

Li Daoxuan has now agreed, but if he doesn't, they probably won't get up.

Li Daoxuan really didn't want to get involved in this karma, but then he thought of Qin Xiao. Even though he knew he wasn't strong enough, he still accepted the position of Xuanwu City Lord without hesitation.

Li Daoxuan began to hesitate, and it was this hesitation that gave Hou Chen the opportunity to say to Li Daoxuan, "Sect Master, after you take office, you do not need to manage any affairs of Jubao Pavilion. If needed, Jubao Pavilion can unconditionally stand behind you."

Li Daoxuan thought for a moment and said, "Alright, but I haven't completely refined the Five Elements Array Flag yet. Right now, I'm only recognizing it as my master. If I successfully refine it and integrate it into myself, then I will recognize the position of Pavilion Master. If I can't completely refine it, I will sever the bond with the Five Elements Array Flag and return it to you. Your Pavilion will then choose another one as Pavilion Master. What do you say?"

After some deliberation, the senior members of the group finally spoke to Li Daoxuan through Hou Chen, saying, "Alright, Pavilion Master, you may go to your private room on the top floor."

On the top floor, before entering, Li Daoxuan said to Hou Chen, "Senior Hou, I hope you won't tell anyone about my affairs. Also, my Li family needs a defensive formation; I'll trouble you, Senior Hou!"

Hou Chen smiled and said to Li Daoxuan, "The Pavilion Master's affairs are our Treasure Pavilion's affairs; there's no trouble at all!"

Li Daoxuan nodded and went inside!

"At present, the Five Elements Flags have recognized me as their master, but I cannot use them yet."

"The Five Elements Array Flags are top-grade Heaven-rank magic treasures. It will take at least several years to fully refine them."

Li Daoxuan activated the array in the room to prevent anyone from disturbing him as he refined the Five Elements Array Flags.

"What?! That guy's gone into seclusion!"

On the top floor of Tianji Pavilion, Lin Wanru looked at Lin Shaohua in front of her.

Lin Shaohua covered his ears and said, "Girl, it's not that serious, keep your voice down!"

Lin Wanru realized she had lost her composure and, after calming herself down, said, "Uncle Lin, do you think Li Daoxuan went into seclusion to avoid me?"

Young Master Lin looked at Lin Wanru with some surprise and laughed, "Girl, didn't you tell your Uncle Lin that that kid was just someone you found to keep those mortals away? Now that he's in seclusion, why are you still so agitated!"

Lin Wanru blushed slightly and said softly to Lin Shaohua, "Uncle Lin, now that he's in seclusion, he can't help me anymore. I really don't know what you're thinking!"

Looking at Lin Wanru, who was saying one thing but meaning another, Lin Shaohua genuinely felt that Li Daoxuan was truly remarkable.

Lin Shaohua smiled and said to Lin Wanru, "Okay, okay, you're right."

Lin Wanru? I feel like you're just giving me the runaround!

Lin Wanru didn't want to continue this topic, so she asked, "Uncle Lin, what brings you here?"

Lin Shaohua patted his head and said, "Oh dear, look at my memory, I'm getting old."

Lin Wanru looked at Lin Shaohua speechlessly.

Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Lin Shaohua stopped his exaggerated performance and said, "Girl, I have to go back to my family. Try not to leave the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion for the next few days!"

Lin Wanru frowned and asked, "Is it because of the Yin family?"
