"Friend, take your ti leaving!"
"Master Dan Chenzi, when you have ti, you should co sit with us at Qingcang Mountain. Although we lack immortal tea, a sparse cup of wine will still suffice."
"Certainly, certainly, I also want to see how a great sect’s external sect operates."
Outside the Ink Lotus Garden.
Two cultivators, bidding each other farewell with clasped hands.
Luo Chen watched the departing Foundation Establishnt True Cultivator with a smile, the other party clearly possessing the formidable cultivation level of the Late Stage Foundation Establishnt.
This person was none other than He Liancheng, the elder of the lower courtyard under Qingcang Mountain.
The lower courtyard of Qingcang Mountain is the external sect of Qingdan Valley.
His visit here was naturally no casual encounter.
Back at Ink Lotus Garden, Luo Chen sat in the pavilion and took out the object that He Liancheng had brought.
A flying sword of magic item level.
Its na was Autumn Water!
Though of the lower grade, when Luo Chen infused it with Spirit Power, the luminous blue gleam revealed that the Autumn Water Sword was quite extraordinary.
Additionally, it ca with a Third Order Technique—Wild Wave.
One only needed to inject a surge of Spirit Power and use the corresponding Spiritual Secrets to unleash layers of attack.
This was a true magic item!
Not like Luo Chen’s Xuanhuo Sword, which had no additional techniques.
It’s all because Huo Hu was stingy; he wanted to support the facade of the Huo Family auction but didn’t want to bring out any good items.
It just happened that Wang Haichao actually took Huo Hu’s offer at the ti.
Satisfied, Luo Chen casually swung the Autumn Water Sword a few tis, showing a content smile.
This was from the ssage he had left on the jade screen in the Gaoyang Tower marketplace.
He had exchanged it for the Nine Ring Tin Stick that belonged to Wei Tuo.
An exchange of goods.
In this transaction, there was a bit of a difference in value, the Nine Ring Tin Stick wasn’t so expensive.
But this small difference was directly waived by He Liancheng.
The reason? Well, it’s simple—a new friendship!
The distinguished status of a strong Pill Refiner was gradually showing its influence.
The initiative of Golden Core Ascendant Masters to recruit him, the favor of sa-order cultivators trying to make connections, only Luo Chen himself knew the taste of these.
"Hui Niang has always lacked a magic item-level sword."
"This Autumn Water Sword, with its elegant and noble appearance and considerable power, is quite suitable for her."
"Consider it a gift for her long journey!"
With a faint smile, Luo Chen placed the flying sword into the storage bag.
Just as he was about to return to his room to read, Tao Yisheng hurried in with a joyful expression on his face.
"Yisheng, what’s the good news that you look so elated?"
From afar, Tao Yisheng called out:
"Brother Luo, tomorrow our sect is going to hold the Seed Cultivator Ceremony for my sister. I’ve specially co to notify you. You must co to witness the ceremony!"
Luo Chen was taken aback.
So soon?
...
Of course, it was soon.
And that was because it hadn’t been long since the last Seed Cultivator Ceremony was held.
The relevant procedures were still fresh in the minds of the Qingdan Valley Cultivators.
The needed materials were also easy to gather.
Moreover, with the support of Tao Wen’s master, Ascendant Master Bai Su, behind the scenes, the ceremony was naturally expedited.
Once the ceremony was completed, provided that Tao Wen didn’t make any major mistakes, she could cultivate peacefully until the Golden Core Period.
In the future, she might even take charge of an entire sect!
Within Qingyun Peak.
Luo Chen looked up with reverence at the won kneeling respectfully in front of the ancestral tablet, feeling deeply moved.
From the True Disciple Tao back then, to Budding Cultivator Tao now, and Sect Leader Tao in the future.
Step by step, this woman was rising to the upper echelons of the Yu Ding Realm.
Eventually, she would be like Lord Qing Yunzi, the master of the Hundred Flowers Palace!
When would he reach that level himself?
While he was lost in thought.
The various ritual processes flowed like water.
Thousands of Foundation Establishnt Cultivators were silent, watching the woman with eyes full of envy, admiration, resentnt, and various other emotions.
When the final ancestral worship was complete.
A faint voice ca from above.
"The soul enters the lamp, the Seed Cultivator is selected... from this day forth, Tao Wen shall be the current Seed Cultivator of Qingdan Valley. Continue the legacy, progress the Great Dao, the future of Qingdan Valley flourishes with you!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
Tao Wen slowly stood up from in front of the ancestral tablet.
She wore a mysterious crown and a purple-patterned scarf, her black hair neatly tied at the back.
She was dressed in a blue brocade skirt with golden borders, elaborate patterns adorning it, elegant yet straightforward.
On her feet were white cloud-patterned boots, as if erging from a cloud.
Qing Yunzi slowly stepped back, letting her move forward.
She looked down upon everyone outside the hall.
There were those like Dan Yangzi, Du Changfeng, Shangguan Yan, who had competed with her.
And there were those like Fu Li, Qi Lingyun, Tan Xiao, who had supported her from the beginning.
And countless other juniors, both familiar and stranger.
She took in all their expressions—they were the foundation of her future leadership!
How she would completely control this foundation depended on her own thods.
But at least, she now had a legitimate claim to her position.
Further away, the Tao Family’s cultivators were also jubilantly watching the ceremony.
Among the crowd, Luo Chen’s figure stood out.
Everyone ca!
Tao Wen’s lips curled slightly, her radiant face holding a smile.
She slowly raised her hand.
Instantly, the previously silent mountains echoed with a thunderous roar.
"Junior Brother greets the Seed Cultivator!"
"Junior Sister greets the Seed Cultivator!"
From within the crowd, Luo Chen bowed from afar and also pronounced softly:
"Luo Chen here, greets Budding Cultivator Tao!"
...
In the depths of the white clouds, on a small stone path.
Two figures walked at a leisurely pace—where they passed, the mountain breeze gently blew and the clouds naturally parted.
Luo Chen’s face showed a trace of confusion.
It had been a full three days since Tao Wen had assud the Qingdan Seed Cultivator position.
During these three days, she had avoided discussing the matter of the Ascendant Grade Dragon Rise Pill, simply asking him to wait.
This waiting lasted three days.
Today, Tao Wen finally invited him to Qingyun Mountain.
