Chapter 436: Preparations Before the Sacred Jade Tournament

Chapter 436: Preparations Before the Sacred Jade Tournament

Han Feiqi, speaking up to this point, clearly let his jealousy show, feeling quite displeased.

Seeing his reaction, Fan Chengyan waved her hand and laughed repeatedly.

"In the path of martial cultivation, there’s no room for asking why.

Many martial artists who are stuck at the Sixth Stage or Fifth Stage also wish they could ask why we can step into the Transcendent Realm.

Talent is what it is; there’s no need to ask why.

On the bright side, it’s fortunate that Ruofang has advanced to the Unity Stage.

Zhuming Palace has never had a good relationship with us. It didn’t matter much before.

Now, they have mastered the technique of refining jade pills.

As for the attendants who came with them, they were sent back in carriages.

His granddaughter naturally inherited these qualities.

If your eyes aren’t clouded by sand, you can see the lily-like demeanor."

After all, they had offended Fan Chengyan.

When Su Chen first started his martial cultivation, Palace Master Yao Wen also asked if he needed to go to another sect.

The banquet was already prepared, and Yao Wen was arranging the seating.

After all, it was just talk at the time, and they hadn’t even met in person.

Yao Wen wasn’t particularly supportive of the Sacred Jade Tournament.

In the future, when you reach the Elder Position, would you let others call you by name? Without rules, Zhuming Palace would become chaotic."

Su Chen naturally sat beside these high-level figures.

Su Chen is too young, perhaps even younger than they are.

Apart from self-protection, it can also enhance physical strength and increase dexterity in the hands.

Therefore, there was no need to change his name at Zhuming Palace; he continued to use it.

Yao Wen said this with a somewhat serious tone.

After the preliminary selection, Su Chen and the two seniors used body techniques to save time during the journey.

In the future, Zhuming Palace’s resources and support will be out of their reach.

Zhuming Palace is like this; disciples who want to study martial arts are sent to sects with close relationships.

Even if they go to a martial sect like Wind and Rain Tower, they can still rank among the top."

Yao Wen’s frown tightened, then slightly relaxed.

Zhuming Palace sent only a few people to participate in the Sacred Jade Tournament.

But when Ming Yao Yao first heard this news, she imagined Su Chen to be somewhat older.

Besides Su Chen, there were three others.

The other disciples are just following along to observe the tournament and hope to gain something from it.

"Then what about appearance? Do you, Elder Su, find Yao Yao’s appearance beautiful?"

If either side is unwilling, it will be very troublesome.

After two days of seclusion in the courtyard, Su Chen received an invitation from Palace Master Yao Wen.

Upon arriving at the Sacred Jade Tournament, how should he respond?

Actually, Su Chen wasn’t overly worried about the dangers and crises.

And she, a fully transcended martial artist, isn’t easy to deal with.

But they didn’t even arrange for the preliminary selection for the Sacred Jade Tournament.

These words indeed made Han Feiqi calm down a bit.

Yao Wen smiled, and the other elders also smiled.

Fan Chengyan is bold enough to do what she says.

At Wulan Manor, Fan Badao.

If she were to lie in wait and attack others at the right moment, it would be even more dangerous.

"Palace Master Yao, rest assured, I have a plan.

I have already made a plan, and when the time comes, I might even be able to take action against Sang Mo Yuan.

But when he looked at Fan Chengyan, he couldn’t help but smile.

"To receive such praise from the Palace Master, one must be exceptionally talented.

I’m not a fool; I won’t wait for her to harm me."

Su Chen chose to decline politely.

Otherwise, other forces will become even more arrogant and rampant in front of us."

Everyone’s conversation was kept to a point, without excessive teasing or joking.

After a while, Su Chen finally realized he needed to respond.

They still need to follow the rules at Zhuming Palace.

Ming Yao Yao was initially somewhat misunderstood.

For an alchemist, martial strength is indeed useful.

If your abilities are slightly lacking, you won’t be allowed to participate in the Sacred Jade Tournament and disgrace the sect. Only small sects like Heavenly Wind Valley, if the preliminary selection didn’t limit their quota, might send half of their young people to participate.

At his age, it’s already not very fitting.

Encouraging Su Chen, Yao Wen felt he wasn’t quite qualified to advise others, "When the time comes, Elder Su, you will go with Ming Yao Yao and the others.

Seeing Su Chen, he smiled and introduced him to the young people seated there.

This trip to the Sacred Jade Tournament will take a long time, so it’s good to get to know each other first.

On the road, the attendants of Zhu Ming Palace would respectfully address Su Chen as "Elder."

In a way, this custom was a test of obedience.

"If it weren't for the sect, do you think I'd put up with all this? Do you think I'd be afraid to take action against the people of Zhu Ming Palace?

With Ruo Shuang's promotion to the Unity Stage, it was like taking a calming pill for us.

But the result was still the same as before, making it difficult for others to respect her.

If I can take action against my own family to find their whereabouts, why can't I do the same to those close to Fan Chengyan, who she cares about? Let her experience the worry and concern as well."

"Actually, Fan Chengyan has a lot to deal with these days, and she might not be able to make it."

There, he cultivated the Martial Way and improved his strength and realm.

Other major sects are no different.

Why can't I be more domineering than her? If she disregards the rules, why can't I? If she can launch a sneak attack, I can do the same to her!"

But you can also choose not to obey and leave Zhu Ming Palace.

If someone contributes to the sect, they will be appointed as an elder.

But after today's meeting, there should be a different feeling.

Lying on his bed, his mind was calculating.

Of course, his identity as a disciple of Zhu Ming Palace remained unchanged.

The path of alchemy required a lot of time to settle and consume mental energy, no less than the Martial Way.

Yaoyao had a preference for the Martial Way since childhood and possessed top-notch talent in it.

"The well-behaved granddaughter of the Second Elder, Ming Yaoyao.

There are three of us participating in the Sacred Jade Tournament.

If Elder Su goes and meets him, and meets his master...

If Su Chen is seriously injured, Zhu Ming Palace will have many ways to retaliate.

The promised benefits and sect status from Zhu Ming Palace would become meaningless.

They are rule-abiding beneficiaries, so naturally, they uphold the rules.

But Palace Master Yao said it's fine for Su Chen to continue using an alias.

"It's okay, just call me Su Heng."

Palace Master Yao looked at Su Chen, trying to gauge his reaction.

This might be a bit risky for you.

The banquet lasted until the end of Dusk.

Hearing Su Chen's evaluation, Palace Master Yao's face showed even more amusement.

With Su Chen's assistance, Zhu Ming Palace's alchemy skills improved.

Su Chen's foundation in the Martial Way came from the Profound Heaven Mind Decision, and his path in the Martial Way was not in line with many sects.

"My domineering Senior Sister Fan, how much more calm and composed she seems now.

Our faction has been completely suppressed.

In Yao Wen's opinion, the strength of the Alchemy Path is far more meaningful than the Martial Way.

When she gets angry, she doesn't care about anything.

But Yao Wen and the elders also understood that Su Chen was still young.

The last time he returned, Ming Yaoyao had given him a straightforward response.

Hearing Han Feiqi's words, Fan Chengyan smiled.

Su Chen's entire person was ruined, and he might even lose his life.

Entering the pavilion, Yao Wen and several elders were already there.

Most of them had gone to other sects to cultivate the Martial Way when they were very young.

Of course, there were also some young people who had not participated in the Sacred Jade Tournament.

As a superior, one must ensure the authority of the system.

Seeing Su Chen reveal his true self, Palace Master Yao was also taken aback.

"So Elder Su has been disguising himself all this time? His true appearance is so handsome."

The larger the sect, the more they care about their reputation.

If Su Chen has time, please come to the pavilion for the banquet.

The banquet officially began, and the young people introduced themselves.

Even with Fan Chengyan there, if she wanted to harm him, she could only rely on a sneak attack.

Here, one could see many attendants serving dishes.

"The Second Elder is full of vigor and has an extraordinary bearing.

He understood why Su Chen concealed his true identity as an elder.

Someone as domineering as Fan Chengyan might even launch an attack in front of everyone.

Palace Master Yao, having regained her senses, gave Su Chen a playful evaluation.

If you want to gain benefits from Zhu Ming Palace, you must obey the sect's arrangements.

This is why many people and forces are unwilling to completely antagonize her.

Although the Second Elder told her that Su Chen was young.

The more people, the better the support."

In the evening, at the sixth hour, Su Chen arrived at Zhu Ming Palace's pavilion as promised.

In Zhu Ming Palace, Su Chen's status was treated as an elder.

Have you thought this through?"

There were many Transcendent Realm powerhouses protecting him.

In his mind, Su Chen thought even more.

He placed the list on the small table in front of him.

The rules and regulations hold authority, ensuring order within the Zhu Ming Palace.

In the past, when faced with such troubles, didn't Senior Sister Fan prefer to solve them directly with force, disregarding all else? That's her style, Senior Sister Fan.

After explaining these matters, Su Chen revealed his true appearance to Palace Master Yao.

Many disciples of Zhu Ming Palace, including Ren Xiuyao, Xiao Qiying, and the Tian Feng Valley disciples, were no less capable than them.

He just felt a bit embarrassed to say it.

Read the flawless version on 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar, the first to release the novel.

They were all chatting about Su Chen and the various disciples.

Even Ming Yao Yao, who didn't place much emphasis on pill refining, also understood the importance of following the rules.

With Senior Jing and Senior Huang's protection, she wasn't some divine being, and she could do as she pleased.

The Jin Kingdom had countless geniuses, and to still be considered a talented warrior among the martial arts sects of the Jin Kingdom was no ordinary feat.

Previously, when traveling in the Jin Kingdom, he had always concealed his identity.

He only held back slightly for the sake of Wulan Manor.

At least we haven't been completely overwhelmed by them.

In the time ahead, Su Chen could take a moment to rest and appropriately cultivate, which was also beneficial.

Having learned that Su Chen had secured a spot in the Sacred Jade Tournament, Palace Master Yao produced a list.

Various exquisite dishes were served on the tower.

In other matters, they should still treat Su Chen as a young man.

Her grandfather was the Second Elder.

"You're being too polite with Elder Su, are you? An Elder is an Elder, and the respect due to them should be given."

Su Chen had already informed Palace Master Yao of his disguise, and Su Heng was just an alias.

If you push me too far, I, Fan Chengyan, can still act without regard for the consequences.

Others were also eager to make a name for themselves.

Ming Yao Yao, Lu Jia, and the male disciple Yin Gong were among them.

They wanted to further their pill refining skills.

However, everyone could see that the higher-ups of Zhu Ming Palace were intentionally pushing Su Chen and Ming Yao Yao together.

With the Cloud Striding Steps and the Serpent Coiling Body Technique, and with a Transcendent Realm powerhouse blocking the way, Su Chen knew it wouldn't be easy for them to harm him.

Su Chen agreed to all of Palace Master Yao's suggestions.

Su Chen also understood what Palace Master Yao meant.

Upon hearing this introduction, those around him found it difficult to speak.

Seeing the solemn expression on Yao Wen's face, Ming Yao Yao and the others stepped forward and addressed Su Chen as Elder.

A little slower was fine, as if they were taking a short break.

For instance, matters of matrimony.

But how much significance did it truly hold?

Everyone knew of her domineering nature, so they dared not provoke her, instead choosing to hide and avoid her.

Several Zhu Ming Palace disciples who had been studying and cultivating outside had already returned.

In the courtyard, the Second Elder of Zhu Ming Palace had dismissed the other attendants and was having a private conversation with his granddaughter.

They indeed felt a bit uncomfortable addressing Su Chen as Elder, as it was not their usual custom.

Su Chen hadn't put much effort into it, yet his pill refining skills with jade and stone were far superior to theirs.

However, these matters of the heart were not as simple as everyone had imagined.

Upon returning to Zhu Ming Palace, Su Chen also informed Palace Master Yao about the results of the preliminary competition.

After they left, the Second Elder sought out his granddaughter.

These few individuals were preparing to participate in the Sacred Jade Tournament.

Regarding Su Chen, she was somewhat reluctant.

Fan Chengyan's reputation for being domineering was not an exaggeration.

Who didn't have a few aliases when traveling the world?

During the banquet, the conversation revolved around the younger generation.

He merely accompanied them to the Sacred Jade Tournament to see if they could gain anything from it.

Palace Master Yao was clearly still worried.

He hoped that Su Chen would focus his attention on pill refining.

Two of these three individuals, although from Zhu Ming Palace, had been cultivating martial arts in other sects.

Palace Master Yao repeatedly mentioned Ming Yao Yao to Su Chen.

Let's see if they can avoid and hide from her for their entire lives."

In terms of appearance and physique, they had undergone significant changes.

"This Sacred Jade Tournament, it's certain that Sang Moyuan from Wulan Manor will be attending.

Perhaps at the tournament, you won't even encounter her."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen was slightly surprised, feeling that the question was a bit too casual.

"This is Elder Su Heng, the top-tier pill refiner who brought great changes to our Zhu Ming Palace."

In the courtyard, Ming Yao Yao pouted slightly, contemplating her response.

"Actually, Elder Su is quite handsome, which is quite unexpected.

I thought he would be like my grandfather.

In that case, I wouldn't be interested in him~"

Ming Yao Yao's words carried a hint of jest.
