Chapter 287: Moon Embrace Sect's Shock, Bright Moon Sect's Creation! (Part 2)
Chapter 287: Moon Embrace Sect's Shock, Bright Moon Sect's Creation! (Part 2)
In the end, Shi Zi was suppressed.
"As expected, he's still not a match for Master Bo."
Shi Zi sighed, "But at least I can see your back and know how to pursue you!"
"Next year, we'll fight again!"
Xiao Ling'er nodded, "I'll wait for you!"
She wasn't afraid of being too harsh on Shi Zi, nor did she want to affect his Daoist heart.
Joking, this person is a descendant of the ancient legend...
Maybe he's deliberately seeking defeat.
...
"..."
On the way back.
The sixth elder of Zheng Shu Xue Yuan suddenly 'awakened'.
"The Moonlit Sect..."
"It's indeed somewhat extraordinary."
"One after another, the personally taught disciples, each is no less than the personally taught disciples of Zheng Shu Xue Yuan, and some are even better."
"Not only that, but the Spirit Sword Sect's Shi Zi is also a disciple of the Moonlit Sect?"
"..."
"Unbelievable."
"It's simply unbelievable."
"The strength of the disciples from a third-rate sect is so heaven-defying, who would believe it if this news gets out?"
"Just from the talents of Xiao Ling'er and a few others, they can almost rival the Holy Land!"
"No wonder the Mansion Lord specifically chose the Moonlit Sect."
"Could it be that before then, he discovered something?"
At this moment, even the sixth elder, who originally didn't pay much attention to the Moonlit Sect, had to re-evaluate it.
The various powers who came to witness the ceremony were all amazed by the strength of the Moonlit Sect! Although there weren't many personally taught disciples on stage, this strength was enough to shock them, and even make them fearful!
With such strength and potential, how could the Moonlit Sect not flourish?
"We can be friends, but we must never become enemies!"
They all gave this warning to their fellow Daoists and powers who were familiar with the sect.
...
The sect's internal competition was extremely lively and exciting.
While greatly enhancing the unity among the sect's disciples, it also allowed them to witness the brilliance of the personally taught disciples.
A goal to chase!
And even more motivation for solitary cultivation.
And this...
Is the very meaning of the sect's internal competition.
Therefore, from this perspective, this internal competition was undoubtedly a great success.
As for external influence...
Now, it's still hard to say.
Perhaps the only person who felt that this internal competition wasn't so wonderful was Elder Lian Bo, who was in charge of formations.
It's so scary.
...
It was night.
Huo Yun'er knocked on Xiao Ling'er's bedroom door.
She wore her most beautiful pajamas, her face slightly flushed.
Xiao Ling'er waved her hand to open the stone door.
Seeing her attire, Huo Yun'er didn't find it strange, but casually asked, "Have you bathed yet?"
Huo Yun'er's face turned even redder.
She was going to die of embarrassment!
To be so direct...
Huo Yun'er nodded lightly, not daring to look directly into Xiao Ling'er's eyes.
Xiao Ling'er spoke softly from her nose, "Hmm."
"Why are you so distant today?" Seeing Huo Yun'er's shyness, Xiao Ling'er couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sit down."
"Huh?"
"Where should I sit?"
"Of course on the bed, where else?"
"Oh, oh..."
Huo Yun'er's face turned red like a monkey's bottom. She didn't know what to say for a moment.
Mainly because she had no experience at all.
She didn't even know what to do.
She could only sit down dizzily by the bed, and at this moment, Xiao Ling'er also sat down next to her, so close that she could smell her scent with every breath.
"Ah?"
Huo Yun'er's whole body felt hot.
But Xiao Ling'er was even more direct, hugging her shoulders.
Huo Yun'er's head went blank...
"Listen carefully."
Xiao Ling'er spoke.
Huo Yun'er quickly gathered her spirits, perked up her ears, not wanting to miss a single word.
Could it be...
A vow of eternal love?
"Yun'er, your talent is actually not inferior to mine, and you also possess Foreign Fire. It's just that our opportunities are different, but I believe you can go even further!"
"So, I've already sought the consent of my teacher and master."
"Next, I'll teach you the Fen Yan Jue and Buddha's Wrath Lotus..."
"Even though you currently only have one Foreign Fire, the Fen Yan Jue can still improve your control over Foreign Fire by several times, allowing you to command it like an arm. In the future, you can slowly collect more."
"As for the Buddha's Wrath Lotus, I can only guide you to a stronger version. If you're interested, you can also explore it further, and you might even have unexpected gains."
"Now, I'll teach you the Fen Yan Jue..."
"..."
Huo Yun'er was stunned.
It was just a simple turn of the head, such a common movement, but at this moment, it was particularly difficult.
As heavy as ten thousand pounds!
With great difficulty, she turned her head and looked at Xiao Ling'er's serious face. Huo Yun'er's face turned red, and her body felt hot.
"You..."
"You made me come in the middle of the night just to tell me this?"
"Of course!" Xiao Ling'er blinked and smiled, "Don't be too touched, my dear friend."
Huo Yun'er: "..."
Gritting her teeth, she said, "I'm so touched, I'm almost crying from being touched."
"Touched to the point of tears!"
What a nutcase!
Who would make someone come to their room in the middle of the night to teach them a skill?
The moment they see the person, they ask if they've bathed.
And then they directly tell them this?
Even hugging the person?!
And then asking if they're touched or not?
I'll touch your head!
The most critical thing is...
I've already done all this, and you still haven't realized it?
You're really a blockhead!
Xiao Ling'er felt a bit uneasy while teaching Huo Yun'er the skill.
It was as if their gazes had pierced through him a thousand times.
He looked at Huo Yun'er in confusion, only to see disappointment in her eyes.
Wait... Disappointment?
Why?
Could it be that the Fiery Flame Decision and Buddha's Wrath Lotus Fire did not meet her expectations and fantasies?
Xiao Ling'er blinked in bewilderment, completely perplexed.
...
Bright Moon Sect.
Lu Ming returned with Wen Ru Yan and the others.
However...
Wen Ru Yan, the three elders, and the dozens of core disciples who accompanied them all looked exhausted, a stark contrast to their spirited departure.
"This..."
"What happened?"
The elders were filled with questions.
What was going on? These were their genius disciples! Why did they return looking so lifeless, as if they had lost their mothers?
"How can you be so listless? Show some respect!" an elder scolded.
If this were in the past, such a rebuke would have made these disciples anxious and apologetic, quickly correcting their behavior.
But at this moment...
One by one, the disciples merely glanced at him, then forced themselves to muster some energy before... nothing else happened.
They remained listless, standing there casually.
"???"
"Where is your vitality as cultivators?!"
"Where is the pride of being disciples of the Bright Moon Sect?"
"Can't you show some spirit?!"
Vitality? Pride as disciples of the Bright Moon Sect?
We have no pride to speak of!
Fine, the freaks from the Moon Embrace Sect are one thing.
But their benefits are ten times better than ours...
And you still want us to maintain our pride?
Pride my ass!
A beggar with a broken bowl facing a prince with a golden bowl...
And you still want us to maintain our pride?
Are you crazy?
None of them responded, nor did they change their demeanor.
"What's going on?"
Even Ji Haoyue couldn't help but frown: "What happened?!"
"Nothing."
"It's just..."
"Sigh."
Lu Ming shook his head and sighed: "Ru Yan, you and the other disciples should go back. I'll keep my promise and take care of what I said."
"Tomorrow morning, I'll start refining pills. Remember to come and collect them."
Hearing this, Wen Ru Yan and the others finally brightened up, regaining their vitality.
Although their benefits were far inferior to the Moon Embrace Sect, with Elder Lu present, and unexpectedly receiving such a good opportunity, they were ultimately delighted.
"Thank you, Elder Lu!"
"We'll take our leave."
They left with smiles on their faces.
Ji Haoyue and the other elders were all stunned.
"Why let them leave like this?"
"Elder Lu, this... isn't it inappropriate?"
"They saw something at the Moon Embrace Sect, and there are people there worth noting. They should report it."
"Moreover, their attitude is simply unacceptable. How can we not punish them?"
Although they were excited to hear that Lu Ming would refine pills for them, they couldn't tolerate their disciples behaving like this.
"Sigh."
Lu Ming sighed: "Sect Leader, elders, please calm down for now."
"This trip to the Moon Embrace Sect was full of surprises..."
"As for notable individuals at the Moon Embrace Sect, I also saw them. I'll explain."
"Their spirits were low, please don't blame them."
"What happened?" Ji Haoyue asked eagerly.
"It's like this."
Lu Ming began to explain, elaborating on the details.
Of course...
He couldn't help but add some embellishments.
Out of ten sentences, nine and a half were true, and the half-lie had artistic exaggeration, so no one could detect any issues.
Then...
Ji Haoyue and the elders were all left dumbfounded.
"Just for an inner sect competition, they're offering so many resources as rewards?!"
"Their strength is so astonishing!"
"Not direct disciples, yet their talent surpasses our sect's sequence?"
"Xiao Ling'er even rewarded them with Ninth Rank Breakthrough Pills in her personal name?!"
"This..."
They understood.
Wen Ru Yan and the others were dispirited, like they had lost their mothers?
Such a contrast...
If it were them, they'd probably feel the same!
This gap was too exaggerated!!!
"That's how it is."
Lu Ming sighed: "The Moon Embrace Sect has even more potential than we imagined, and their future potential is limitless. If we want to deal with them..."
"Never mind, let's not talk about this."
"To comfort them, I promised to refine Breakthrough Pills for them as well."
"After all, if they have it, we should too. We can't let our disciples feel discouraged, right?"
"This is all I can do."
Hearing this, everyone was deeply moved.
"It's hard on Elder Lu."
Ji Haoyue tightly held Lu Ming's hand, reluctant to let go: "If not for Elder Lu, they would have been greatly discouraged this time."
"But the Moon Embrace Sect is too generous!"
"This puts us in an unjust position!"
"The Moon Embrace Sect's future potential is so astonishing. Should we go all out and destroy them now?"
An elder proposed immediately wiping out the Moon Embrace Sect: "Even if we pay a price, isn't it better than being destroyed by them in the future?"
"Inappropriate."
Ji Haoyue slowly shook her head: "Didn't you understand?"
"The Moon Embrace Sect's strength is already formidable, and the forces that attended the ceremony speak volumes."
"If we want to destroy the Moon Embrace Sect, who dares to say that the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Ground won't intervene?"
"Even if they don't intervene, the Moon Embrace Sect isn't that easy to destroy. Moreover, there's the Pill Tower!"
"And the Sea Family!"
"As well as the Spirit Sword Sect! The Sword Son of the Spirit Sword Sect is also a disciple of the Moon Embrace Sect. I strongly suspect they've been working together for a long time. Once we make a move, the Spirit Sword Sect will definitely not stand idly by.
"Not only that..."
Ji Haoyue sighed, "Currently, we are in a cooperative relationship, working together for the Black White Academy. Strictly speaking, the Bright Moon Sect is still my sect's 'superior'."
"If we take action now, what will happen?"
"It will hinder the Black White Academy's plan to spread throughout the Immortal Martial Continent. Can our sect afford the consequences?"
"..."
They analyzed the situation together.
The elders listened, feeling their bodies go numb.
"This... it's indeed not suitable to take action."
"The Bright Moon Sect has unknowingly developed to a level that even we find challenging to deal with."
"If only we had known earlier..."
"Nonsense! The Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Ground openly guaranteed their safety; would you dare to go against them?"
"Sigh!"
"What should we do now?"
They were both nervous and flustered.
Initially, they didn't pay much attention, thinking that their sect was unwilling to pay a significant price to deal with the Bright Moon Sect. But now, suddenly, they realized it was becoming unmanageable!
"Don't panic!"
Ji Haoyue, as the sect leader, remained more composed.
He spoke with a heavy tone, "Indeed, the Bright Moon Sect is not easy to handle at this moment. It's like pulling a single hair that moves the entire body. If we were to engage in a real fight, our sect wouldn't gain any advantage."
"But the Bright Moon Sect hasn't been idle these years!"
"It will be challenging for us to deal with them."
"And it won't be easy for them to deal with us!"
"Even in the future, it will be the same!"
"Let's wait a little longer, until our sect advances to Super First-Class..."
"Then we'll be exceptionally stable. What's there to fear?"
Lu Ming nodded, "The sect leader's words are true."
Hearing this, the other elders also found it reasonable, and gradually calmed down.
Otherwise...
It was genuinely frightening.
Speaking of which, they were truly anxious earlier.
...
The next day, at dawn.
Lu Ming began to refine pills.
He kept his promise to Wen Ru Yan and the others, providing them with Ninth Rank Breakthrough Pills, without going back on his word.
And each of the other disciples in the sequence also received one pill each! As for those who didn't come, naturally, they were left out.
Those who received the pills were incredibly grateful to Lu Ming, they were filled with appreciation.
Their trust and 'loyalty' towards Lu Ming were almost without bounds.
The other disciples didn't hold a grudge against Lu Ming, although they didn't receive any, but... they understood why they were left out.
Wanting something?
Then they should work hard and strive for the top.
But...
Lu Ming became the object of desire for all disciples, an undeniable fact.
The disciples expressed their gratitude and left.
Ji Haoyue and the elders, on the other hand, were excitedly rubbing their hands on the side.
Lu Ming, of course, wouldn't hold back, so he started another round of pill refinement for them.
As for the Breakthrough Pills...
Let's not even talk about it!
The reason being that the materials required for high-level breakthrough pills were too rare, and the success rate was too low.
He refined two batches.
Each person received only a few pills, and Lu Ming had another 'enlightenment', requiring him to enter seclusion.
Ji Haoyue and the others felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over them, but they couldn't stop it.
This feeling was genuinely uncomfortable.
It was as if they were about to succeed, but the other party refused.
This...
Sigh, but what could they do?
The other party had 'enlightenment' and 'breakthrough' above all else.
...
In the secret room, Lu Ming sat cross-legged, deep in thought.
"There's nothing urgent within the sect for now. Developing according to the plan will do."
"The disciples..."
"Qiu Yong Qian and Shi Hao need extra attention."
"But Qiu Yong Qian has Ji Chu Tong's help."
"Shi Hao has the Great Demon God watching over him, and the destiny of the Yellow Heaven Emperor's template... there's no need to be overly anxious."
"The annual crisis was just overcome recently, and there's nearly a year of peaceful time ahead."
"So, it's time to resolve the Hai family's issue, as well as focusing on the secret method to nurture Immortal Qi within the body."
Naturally, he had to keep his promise.
Afterwards, it took a month.
The Heaven Master Evil Root Technique's shortcomings were forcibly compensated by Lu Ming with the combined enlightenment of his disciples!
At that moment, even with his current level of enlightenment, he found it absurd.
"This Heaven Master Evil Root Technique, tsk, is indeed a bit absurd."
"But it's good that it's been compensated."
"My Bright Moon Sect can also copy a version, which might be useful in the future, ahem."
Arranging for the straw man incarnation to deliver the improved Heaven Master Evil Root Technique to Xiao Ling'er, who would then take it to the Hai family, Lu Ming began to comprehend the secret method to nurture Immortal Qi within his body.
The Ninth Level's overwhelming strength was mainly due to 'Immortal Qi'.
The Ninth Level was powerful enough to absorb Immortal Qi and transform it into its own Immortal Power! Immortal Power far surpassed 'Essence Power'.
The difference was not just a hundredfold; the two powers were fundamentally incomparable, a complete trans-dimensional strike.
And because of this...
Lin Fan was confident that in the Eighth Level, he rarely had an opponent, but if he encountered the Ninth Level...
"I don't seek to convert Essence Power into Immortal Power prematurely."
"I only wish to nurture a few strands of Immortal Qi within my body, which I can use in the most critical moments."
"Even if I can only fight a First or Second Level Ninth Level existence for a few rounds, and have a back-and-forth exchange within a short time, that would be good enough."
"This way, when I'm out in the future and encounter a Ninth Level existence, I can at least hold on for a while, allowing those around me to retreat first."
Lin Fan wasn't afraid, at least not as much, before using up his 'Resurrection Coins'.
"It's just that Immortal Qi is too powerful."
"It's not just a problem of 'strength', but there's a higher-level 'rule' within it. Many have tried before, but those who haven't reached the Ninth Level, they all failed."
"Even an Eighth Level peak existence who cultivated the 'Sect's Invincible Technique' level body refinement technique, the result of forcefully drawing Immortal Qi into their body, was also only one..."
"Body explosion and death."
"I..."
"How can I prevent my body from exploding?"
