62: Disciples gather for a small event, with a luxurious control panel!

Myriad Dao Divine Mountain, Sect Master Hall.

Chu Xuanjin leaned back on his throne, looking at the rolling sea of clouds outside the hall with a lazy expression.

With a thought, a Divine Thought was transmitted in all directions through his token.

"All of you, come back."

"You've been busy for so long, it's time to rest."

"Today, Revered Master will treat you to tea."

...In just the time it took for an incense stick to burn.

Within the hall, five flashes of light lit up one after another.

The first to appear was Wang Duojin.

He was dressed in a luxurious brocade robe, and the abacus at his waist had been replaced with one made of pure gold; every step he took carried the sound of clinking Spirit Stones.

"Revered Master!"

He ran to the throne in a few quick steps, his face covered in a mercenary smile.

Next was Su Linger.

She was still in her ice-blue long dress, but her temperament was a bit more calm and majestic than before, as if she had truly become a State Preceptor guiding the country.

Then came Zhao Wuyou.

The bloody aura on him had dissipated, and the crazed Battle Intent in his golden eyes had been restrained; he was like a divine weapon hidden in its sheath—sharp, yet not harmful.

Finally, a figure in green clothes and a timid figure in goose-yellow appeared.

Ye Chenfeng had returned, and the Wine Gourd at his waist seemed to have grown a bit larger.

Gongsun Yan followed behind him, her small hands clutching the hem of her clothes, curiously and nervously sizing up her Senior Brothers and Senior Sister, each with their distinct auras.

"Disciples pay respects to Revered Master!"

The five of them bowed in unison, their voices echoing through the hall.

"Rise, take a seat."

Chu Xuanjin waved his hand, and several white jade prayer mats appeared in the hall.

"Little Junior Sister?"

Wang Duojin was the first to notice Gongsun Yan. His eyes lit up, and he leaned over.

"My name is Wang Duojin, your Third Senior Brother! Little Junior Sister, what are you good at? Can you perform Alchemy? Artifact Refining? Can you keep accounts? Our Myriad Dao Merchant Guild is just short of a chief..."

"Third Junior Brother."

Su Linger's cool voice interrupted him.

She walked to Gongsun Yan's side, took her small hand, and said softly, "Don't listen to his nonsense. I am Su Linger, your Second Senior Sister."

She then pulled a plate of exquisite Peach Blossom Crisps from her Storage Ring.

"This is for you, it's very delicious."

Gongsun Yan looked at the plate of snacks, then at Su Linger's clear eyes, and her nervous mood relaxed a lot.

"Thank you... thank you, Second Senior Sister."

Zhao Wuyou only gave Gongsun Yan a faint glance before withdrawing his gaze and finding a corner to sit cross-legged by himself.

Ye Chenfeng nodded slightly to Gongsun Yan as a greeting.

Chu Xuanjin looked at these five Disciples with vastly different styles, a smile appearing on his face.

[Ding! Detected that the Personal Disciples' strength has broken through!]

[Cultivation feedback triggered! Congratulations to the Host for receiving a massive infusion of cultivation! Divine Ability proficiency increased!]

Strands of pure energy gathered within his body, but they did not cause him to Breakthrough his Realm.

He was already at Body Integration Middle Stage; the energy returned from the Disciples' slight increase in cultivation was just a drop in the bucket for him.

"Not bad, you've all improved."

Chu Xuanjin spoke, breaking the pleasantries in the hall.

Wang Duojin immediately perked up. He cleared his throat, stood up, flicked his golden abacus, and began his "debriefing report."

"Revered Master! In these past few months, this Disciple has opened the Myriad Dao Merchant Guild in all thirty-six cities of the Southern Border of the Eastern Wastelands! The turnover is over a hundred million! Net profit..."

"Get to the point," Chu Xuanjin interrupted him.

"Ahem!" Wang Duojin coughed twice. "The point is, this Disciple can now integrate one hundred and eight Small Zhou Heaven Star Formations into this abacus! With a thought, I can trap and kill Nascent Souls and Soul Transformations!"

Su Linger also spoke softly.

"In the Zhao Kingdom, this Disciple assisted Junior Brother in implementing new policies, digging canals, reclaiming wasteland, and establishing order. This Disciple found that governing a country has wonderful similarities to controlling my own ice powers."

Zhao Wuyou opened his eyes, his voice calm.

"Lie Shan is dead. In my battle with him, this Disciple comprehended the first transformation of the Dragon God Transformation."

Finally, it was Ye Chenfeng.

He took a swig of wine and said slowly, "This Disciple went to the Western Desert and saw heroes as well as demons. I have drawn my sword some times and missed some times. This Disciple's sword seems to be slower than before."

His sword was slower.

But he himself was sharper than before.

Chu Xuanjin nodded with satisfaction as he listened to his Disciples' reports.

He stood up and waved his wide sleeve.

A set of purple clay tea set and a pot of spring water steaming with Immortal Qi appeared before him.

He took out a golden leaf from an ancient enlightenment tea tree and dropped it into the pot.

He personally poured a cup of tea for each of the five Disciples.

The fragrance of the tea instantly filled the entire hall.

"Everyone, have a taste."

The five of them picked up their teacups and, following Chu Xuanjin's example, took a light sip.

Boom!

An indescribable and mysterious Dao charm exploded within their Sea of Consciousness!

The abacus in Wang Duojin's hand fell to the ground. He stared blankly into the Void Realm as countless Formation runes flickered in his eyes.

Cold air circulated around Su Linger, and a perfect six-petaled ice flower bloomed at her fingertips, containing a faint trace of vitality.

Behind Zhao Wuyou, the phantom of a Primordial Dragon God roared towards the sky, and his Mid-stage Soul Transformation aura became even more solid.

The Wine Gourd in Ye Chenfeng's hand rolled to the side. He closed his eyes and remained motionless, but invisible Sword Qi was cutting through space around him.

Gongsun Yan was directly stunned. She felt as if she were in an endless field of medicinal herbs, with countless knowledge of herbs flooding into her mind.

[Ding! Host gifted a cup of 'Enlightenment Tea' to the Disciples...]

[Triggered 10,000-fold critical hit return!]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: One infusion of the 'Ten-thousand-year ancient enlightenment tea tree' Origin power!]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: A significant increase in Divine Soul power!]

Chu Xuanjin felt as if his Divine Soul were being soaked in a hot spring, becoming more solid and transparent than ever before.

He looked at the five Disciples below who had fallen into an Epiphany, a smile of relief like that of an old father appearing on his face.

With a thought, his attribute panel clearly appeared before his eyes.
