752: The celebration ended
"This is my Senior Sister, Cang Yunyao." Cang Yunyao immediately put on a charming smile:
"So it's Sister Han. I've heard so much about you. You really are more beautiful than a flower!"
"This is Junior Sister Lin Shishi..."
"This is..."
Yao Delong introduced the core female Disciples of the Yin Yang Sect one by one. The scene was harmonious for a moment, yet undercurrents surged, mainly from Cang Yunyao's gaze.
Han Ruyan felt a slight bitterness in her heart, but she also secretly marveled at Yao Delong's popularity and charm within the Sect.
Looking at the scene of being surrounded by beauties, although Yao Delong talked and laughed on the surface, his heart was clear.
During this grand ceremony, the Nine Nether Sect was absent, and it was eerily calm. "The wind precedes the rising storm... the calmer it is, the more violent the future storm will likely be!"
He clenched his fists, his desire to become stronger growing more urgent.
This grand Daoist succession ceremony lasted for a full three days.
As the absolute protagonist, Yao Delong was busy almost every moment, maneuvering between the big shots of various forces and the young talents,
clinking glasses and chatting cheerfully, demonstrating the poise and tactics a Daoist should have to the fullest.
Even with his profound cultivation, he felt a trace of mental fatigue.
As the last piece of immortal music faded, guests from all sides began to take their leave. As the host, the Yin Yang Sect's etiquette was extremely thorough.
Elders had already led Disciples to deliver carefully prepared return gifts to every guest. These gifts were of great value, mostly the Yin Yang Sect's unique top-grade Medicinal Pills.
Such as Yin-Yang Harmony Pills, Foundation Consolidating Pills, high-grade Talismans like Void Escape Talismans, Heavenly Thunder Talismans, and some Heaven And Earth Treasures containing pure Yin and Yang Power of Creation, which showed sincerity without losing the foundation of a great Sect.
For the top allies like the Moyang Sect and Myriad Sword Valley who had sent heavy treasures, Sect Head White Cloud Master personally appeared to give return gifts.
He handed an ancient and warm jade bottle to Qing Ya Zi and Li Wangsheng respectively.
"Brother Qing Ya, Fellow Daoist Li, a small gift, not enough to show my respect. I hope you will accept it." White Cloud Master said with a beam.
The two took the jade bottles and swept them with their Divine Sense. Even with their status, a light of surprise instantly burst from their eyes!
Inside the jade bottle lay a round, longan-sized Medicinal Pill, radiating seven-colored hazy light and a majestic Power of Creation—a void refining pill!
This pill was a secret of the Yin Yang Sect, which could greatly increase the success rate of a Perfected Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivator breaking through the Void Refining Bottleneck!
For any large Sect, it was a strategic resource!
Qing Ya Zi laughed heartily and accepted it without hesitation:
"Haha! White Cloud Master, I'll shamelessly accept this 'local specialty' of yours! One year from now will be the wedding date of my Ling'er and my worthy son-in-law Delong! Your Yin Yang Sect must put in twelve points of effort to organize it; don't wrong my Ling'er!"
White Cloud Master stroked his beard and laughed:
"Brother Qing Ya, rest assured! Delong is our Sect's Daoist, and niece Ling'er is the Moyang Goddess. This marriage will surely be a grand event for our Eastern Region for ten thousand years! We will certainly do our best!"
Li Wangsheng also solemnly accepted the jade bottle, a rare sincere smile appearing on his face as he cupped his hands:
"Brother White, since you've given such a generous gift, I won't refuse! This pill is of vital importance to my Myriad Sword Valley! Daoist Yao, if you have leisure in the future, please visit my Myriad Sword Valley more often."
With this void refining pill, it meant that the Myriad Sword Valley would soon add another top-tier Void Refining Realm combatant!
This return gift was worth far more than expected, making the slight heartache he felt from giving away the Void-Severing Sword Pellet completely vanish. He only felt that this investment was incredibly worthwhile!
After all the guests had left and the clamor had died down, the Tianshu Peak square returned to its usual solemnity. Under the glow of the sunset, only Sect Head White Cloud Master and Yao Delong remained.
White Cloud Master looked at this Daoist who now carried the future of the Sect, his eyes full of gratification and expectation:
"Delong, you are now a Daoist. According to the Sect's rules, a dedicated Immortal Cave has been opened for you on Dragon Head Peak. The Spiritual Qi there is more concentrated, it has a Spirit Gathering Array, and it's closer to the Sect's core Legacy site."
Hearing this, Yao Delong immediately bowed, his tone sincere but with a hint of "shamelessness":
"Thank you for your kindness, Sect Head! It's just... I'm used to living on Luoxia Peak, and I have feelings for every plant and tree there. Moreover, I cannot forget the grace of my Revered Master's teaching, and Junior Sister Clear Snow and the others are also on Luoxia Peak... I request that I still live in that small courtyard on Luoxia Peak on ordinary days. The Dragon Head Peak Immortal Cave can just be used as a place for quiet cultivation and seclusion."
What kind of person was White Cloud Master? Looking at Yao Delong's "sincere" eyes with a bit of "hidden intent," how could he not understand what this kid was planning?
He simply couldn't bear to leave his Revered Master and Junior Sisters on Luoxia Peak!
He laughed and didn't point it out, saying readily: "Very well! You are already a Daoist, so you have this bit of freedom. Do as you wish!"
"Thank you, Sect Head!" Yao Delong was delighted.
Just then, a cold gaze seemed to pierce through space and land on Yao Delong.
It was his Revered Master, the Peak Revered Master of Luoxia Peak, Leng Yuekui. She was looking over from a distance, seemingly having heard their conversation.
Sensing something, Yao Delong immediately turned his head. An incredibly bright, sunny, and even "innocently" dependent smile instantly bloomed on his face. He waved vigorously at Leng Yuekui, his eyes bright and full of filial affection.
Leng Yuekui's cold gaze paused slightly. Seeing her Disciple's guileless smile, it was as if the iceberg had quietly melted a bit.
But she immediately regained her aloof coldness. She only nodded imperceptibly before turning into a cold stream of light, heading towards Luoxia Peak first.
Yao Delong watched the direction where his Revered Master disappeared, a barely noticeable curve appearing at the corner of his mouth as he thought:
"Luoxia Peak... this is my gentle land, and even more so, the main battlefield for the great cause of Yin-Yang Harmony in the future!"
How could the cold Immortal Cave on Dragon Head Peak be as fragrant as the earnest teachings of his beautiful Revered Master and the surrounding of his many Junior Sisters?
Well, whether it's cultivation or "Physique," the room for improvement is immense!
In a pleasant mood, he returned to his quiet courtyard in the back mountain of Luoxia Peak with Qiong Shuang, whose small face was flushed with excitement.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate, even though he was prepared, Yao Delong was shocked by the scene before him.
In the center of the originally elegant small courtyard, various rare treasures were piled up into a small mountain several yards high!
The treasure light was hazy, and the Spiritual Qi was like mist, so thick it could hardly be dispersed!
Heaven-Grade Weapons gleamed coldly, thousand-year-old Spirit Medicines were fragrant, rare Ores had dao rhyme flowing, and rare treasures were everywhere... the entire courtyard seemed to have become a giant cornucopia! The Sect's efficiency was extremely high; every gift received at the ceremony had been delivered here without exception.
Qiong Shuang's large eyes instantly widened, and the greedy instinct for shiny treasures deep in her flood dragon Bloodline completely erupted!
"Wow! So many shiny treasures! Big brother, we're rich! We're rich!"
She jumped up and down in excitement, her saliva almost flowing into a small river!
Unable to hold back, a white light flashed on her body, and she directly transformed into her original form as a foot-long snow-White Flood Dragon. With a joyful cry,
she excitedly drilled in and out of the pile of treasures. Her small claws occasionally pulled out a treasure to rub her head against, and her dragon tail wagged excitedly, making a popping sound as she played happily.
