Journey to the head

In September of the 423rd year of Jiashen, people from the nine northwestern counties of Cangzhou and even the entire Cangzhou were waiting for the result of the tribulation of Jiang Qingfeng, the elder of the Yunshan Sect. Unexpectedly, they received even more explosive news.

There was a battle between powerful men in the sky above the Mianlong Mountains. The aftermath was so shocking that the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked within a radius of hundreds of miles, and the terrain changed drastically.

Curious people came to the scene to watch and saw with their own eyes that the Dragon Tail Peak of the Mianlong Mountain Range was split in half and the Dragon Spine Peak was cut off in half. They could not help but stare in amazement, horrified, and trembling with fear.

This kind of earth-shaking move is far beyond the imagination of low-level cultivators!

What happened in the Mianlong Mountains? This has become the latest topic of conversation in Cangzhou and even in the surrounding provinces.

There is news that Cangzhou leader Miaomiao Xuanjun rushed to the scene as soon as possible, but there was no further news, and the Xuanwei faction was very secretive about it.

At the height of the storm, the Yunshan Sect simply announced that their elder and head Taoist companion Jiang Qingfeng had successfully survived the tribulation and achieved the golden elixir. They would hold an elixir success ceremony in December and would invite heroes from all walks of life to celebrate the happy event together.

The Yunshan Sect did not respond to the war that attracted everyone's attention and the various discussions that were rampant.

At the same time, in this mess, the Longshou Peak and Longzhua Peak where the Yunshan Sect was located were completely intact, which aroused everyone's speculation and cast a veil of mystery over the strength and background of the Yunshan Sect.

In fact, for the disciples of Yunshan, the fact that Longshou Peak, where the mountain gate is located, and Longzhua Peak, where the heroic stele forest is located, survived the aftermath of the war can only be attributed to the blessing of the heroes of Yunshan from previous generations. If there were really space ripples or space cracks hitting these two places, Yunshan Sect would basically have to relocate.

As for this incident, the Yunshan Sect can only be said to have responded quickly and taken appropriate measures, reducing the losses to a minimum, but it did not escape unscathed.

Because Longwei Peak and Longji Peak were destroyed, the earth shook and rocks flew everywhere. Many buildings on Longshou Peak and Longzhua Peak were also destroyed. Even huge cracks appeared on the mountain. These needed to be carefully repaired using earth-moving magic to prevent the mountain from collapsing and causing a catastrophe.

As for the disciples, dozens of them eventually lost their luck and moved too slowly. As they fled in all directions, they were hit and killed by the collapsed mountains and huge rocks.

If we simply consider the overall interests of Yunshan, there are no important figures among these dozens of disciples, and their cultivation levels are also uneven. In such a disaster, it is already very lucky to only lose dozens of ordinary disciples.

But from the perspective of the disciples and the families of the deceased disciples, how could they not be heartbroken and grief-stricken that their fellow brothers and blood relatives had died in vain?
Their deaths were silent and seemed insignificant, but in the hearts of Lu Qian and the Yunshan Sect's top leaders, they were a wake-up call and a warning bell.

The pride that he had previously gained from leading the Chongming Alliance and pacifying the nine northwestern counties immediately disappeared.

The Yunshan Sect is still too weak, too weak. It is so weak and helpless in front of the high-level cultivators. It cannot protect its own disciples, nor guard its own mountain gate. The aftermath of the opponent's attack is enough to destroy the entire Yunshan.

If Taiyi Paradise had not arrived in time this time, Jiang Qingfeng would have been abducted directly, and even Lu Qian would have been unable to stop it.

However, it is impossible to reach Taiyi Paradise every time. If you rely on mountains, they will collapse; if you rely on water, it will flow away. In the end, you can only rely on yourself for everything.

The road is long and the road is approaching.

Therefore, in an atmosphere of knowing shame and then being brave, the Yunshan Sect started rebuilding and repairing again, which is why the Dancheng Ceremony was set in December.

The Yunshan Sect will need several months to provide relief to disciples, boost morale, reorganize the mountain gate, and repair the mountain.

On this basis, the Yunshan Sect held another high-level meeting. This time, only Lu Qian, Wang Yu, Jiang Qingfeng, Gu Nishang, Wu Yan, and Lin Le were present.

Lu Qian explained the causes and consequences of the arrival of the True Lord of the Sea Clan. Everyone agreed that before the Yunshan Sect had the power to protect itself, Jiang Qingfeng had better stay within the early warning barrier set up by Taiyi Paradise, which basically covered the existing territories of the three counties of Chongming, Sanshan and Junle of the Yunshan Sect.

At the meeting, Wang Yu remained silent, which made Lu Qian feel even more pressured.

He knew that Wang Yu was thinking of the remnants of the corpse clan who might be secretly tracking him down.

In the past, when he heard that corpses had left the Jedi and the Dachi Tower had been destroyed, the Dengzhou Sect tried its best to kill them, but some corpses still escaped. At that time, Wang Yu wanted to leave the Yunshan Sect alone to avoid bringing disaster to the Yunshan Sect.

But Lu Qian refused firmly and tried his best to comfort him, which temporarily calmed him down.

Now the Intelligence Department has established an intelligence network near Dengzhou, but has no clue about the whereabouts of the zombie clan.

The corpse-prisoning area was only 40,000 miles away from Mianlong Mountain, which was not far for a cultivator. Moreover, Wang Yu was also under the spell of a strange talisman. Although he had escaped from the control, it was possible that the corpse clan could still sense him when they were close enough.

In this way, although there has been no movement in these years, if the remnants of the corpse clan insist on searching and searching thoroughly, perhaps one day they will find the missing person.
Lu Qian's eyes turned cold.

No matter what, we can't think of achieving the so-called peace of our sect by sacrificing anyone!

Such peace is simply an illusion!
Now with the warning barrier of Taiyi Paradise, Senior Sister is safe for the time being.

Senior Brother Wang, judging from the destruction of the Great Red Tower and the siege of Dengzhou, the cultivation level of the remnants of the Corpse Clan does not exceed the Nascent Soul stage.

As long as I work hard and advance to the level of Yuanying Spirit Lord soon, I will naturally be able to protect him!
By the end of November, preparations for the reconstruction of Mianlong Mountain and the Chengdan Ceremony were in place, but one thing remained unresolved.

Jiang Qingfeng's Taoist name.

The senior sister herself is still blaming herself for attracting the True Lord of the Sea Clan, which caused a lot of losses to the Yunshan Sect and brought huge hidden dangers. She has no interest in choosing a Taoist name, so please ask Lu Qian to just think of one.

However, Lu Qian was unwilling to be so hasty. After the Taoist name was announced at the Dancheng Ceremony, it would usually accompany the cultivator throughout his life and would not change. It represented a new and important beginning on the path of the Taoist path.

Besides, Lu Qian wanted to boost her spirits by choosing a Taoist name and help his senior sister get out of her depressed state.

To this end, the elders and directors of the Yunshan Sect held several meetings, but even with all their efforts, it was still difficult to achieve a satisfactory result.

According to mainstream rules, a Taoist name is usually chosen based on various characteristics such as the magical powers of the golden elixir, the main practice method, the attributes of the spiritual roots, personality endowments, etc., or it can be directly interpreted based on the "name" in the cultivator's name, or it can complement the cultivator's "name", or it can be completely opposite to the meaning of the "name" and complement each other.

But after thinking about it, everyone could only come up with words like "wind", "water", "cloud", "ice", "thunder", or names like "sleet", "frost", "foam", "thunder", and "bolt".

I always feel like I don’t get along well with my senior sister.

Seeing that the Dancheng Ceremony was imminent and the Taoist name had not yet been decided, Lu Qian became anxious and asked everyone to work together to make sure it was determined at this meeting.

Gu Nishang became irritated and cracked her knuckles. "This is not allowed, and that is not allowed. Don't follow these rules. I remember that there were also people who used caves or place names as Taoist names!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Qian's eyes lit up. It was indeed true. There were also a small number of cultivators who directly used the names of Taoist temples, caves, etc. as their Taoist names.

I didn’t expect that Gu Nishang could come up with something in this area!

If it is a place name, you can use "Yunshan", "Mianlong" or even "Hanjiang", "Yunmian" or "Hanyun"?
While he was thinking, Jiang Qingfeng suddenly spoke.

"Then, 'Liquan'?"

Wang Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and Lu Qian also raised his head. Seeing his senior sister's gentle eyes and a smile on her face, he felt relieved, his memories flooded back, and he was suddenly happy.

Liquan.
Quyang County, Qingzhou, Yunshan.

That sacred mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, and is misty and verdant. In the mountain, three intermediate spiritual veins are gurgling. There is also a spiritual spring that can cleanse filth and strengthen the foundation. It gushes out in the mountain, and the water flows gently and makes a tinkling sound.

That magical spring is called Liquan.

That is my ancestral vein of Yunshan, the place I dream of at midnight. Liquan, Liquan, cleansing filth, strengthening the foundation and clearing the source, crystal clear, warm and sweet.

What a perfect match for his beautiful, gentle and tough senior sister!

Lu Qian looked at his senior sister steadily, and she responded with a firm gaze and a warm smile.

When the Li Spring suddenly appeared on top of Yunshan Mountain, it not only attracted the Qingling Sect's covetousness and eventually instigated the Wang Family to attack the Yunshan Sect. An illusion of a magnificent cave scene also emerged in the eye of the Li Spring, which led to Zhuo Wuying of Ziluo Mountain betraying the alliance, colluding with the Wang Family, and jointly destroying Yunshan!
Liquan represents the sorrow of Yunshan Sect!
Taking this Taoist name, one must naturally be vigilant day and night, and always look north!
That is the hometown we have longed for, the ancestral land that we must take back. It must be achieved in our generation to launch a northern expedition and recover the old territory!

Wang Yu closed his eyes: "That's good."

Hao Qiuguang stood up, his face flushed: "Senior Sister Jiang, this number is excellent!"

Jiang Baitao applauded and cheered: "Three hundred years later, we will march north to Qingzhou!"

Although the other elders and directors were not the fourth-generation disciples who had personally experienced the destruction of Yunshan, as disciples of Yunshan, each of them took it as their responsibility to revive the sect, and each of them remembered the humiliating history of Yunshan Sect. At this moment, they were also filled with emotion and extremely excited.

Lu Qian glanced around and was very pleased to see that everyone was fighting bravely and had a willing heart.

If so, it won’t take three hundred years!

It's just that this state has not been conquered for three hundred years. This is the major premise for the peaceful development of Cangzhou. Although the Yunshan faction is the commander-in-chief of the military of nine counties and has the right to independently conquer, it cannot act on its own and destroy the "no conquest" and bring disaster to Cangzhou.

Let’s put these aside for now. In this case, the Taoist name “Liquan” has a very good meaning and is very appropriate.

The most important thing is that after this incident, my senior sister rekindled her fighting spirit and suppressed her frustration. It couldn’t be better.

"In that case, I will take 'Liquan' as my Taoist name!"

At this time, Gu Nishang saw that everyone in the Yunshan Sect was excited, united, and the scene was lively. She was not from Yunshan, and she only knew about this history, but did not have much empathy. It was difficult for her to fit in with it. She felt a little depressed, and stood up to leave.

Lu Qian hurriedly stopped her: "Don't leave so quickly, you haven't decided on the suffix for your Taoist name yet!"

After the Taoist name, there are suffixes such as "True Man", "Fairy", "Taoist", "Sanren", "Zi", "Weng", "Sou", etc. that need to be chosen.

Most female cultivators wouldn’t think too much about it and would just be called “fairies”.

Gu Nishang turned her head away and said in a muffled voice: "You didn't choose a suffix for me back then. I'm an outsider, why would I bother with that?"

Lu Qian blinked his eyes. Gu Nishang, are you jealous?
Jiang Qingfeng walked forward with a smile and held Gu Nishang's hands tightly: "Good Nishang, whoever said you are an outsider, I will be the first to disagree."

"If you hadn't reminded us just now, we would never have thought of a Taoist name like 'Liquan'. In fact, you are the smartest."

"I'm leaving my Dao name to you now. Please think about it and choose one for me, okay?"

Gu Nishang bit her lip, looked at her for a long time, and suddenly said: "'Fairy' sounds soft, and the other words don't sound good either. Since you are going to march north to Qingzhou, you should be domineering."

"Just choose 'Jun'."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent.

Mr. Liquan?
The word "Jun" is also a very rare suffix, and even fewer female cultivators would choose it. The most important thing is that those who use this word are mostly foreign Jindan.

Because foreign species are wild and difficult to tame and have a strong sense of territory, they often use the word "Jun" to emphasize their ruling status.

When Lu Qian heard this word, his heart moved. In various historical biographies, there were quite a few dragon clan members who used the word "Jun", such as "Si Du Jun" and "Huai Shui Jun".

Senior sister has the blood of a true dragon, so of course she deserves the title of “Lord”!

To put it in plain words, Liquan Jun is the ruler of Liquan, which coincides with the long-cherished wish of regaining the ancestral vein of Yunshan.

It fits, it fits so well!

As for whether this would irritate the dragon clan, well, forget it. They've already come to our door. Can we avoid being noticed by keeping a low profile?

For these alien races, strength is the bottom line.

Speaking of which, Gu Nishang has the blood of the Golden Crow. Has she ever thought of calling herself "Jun" because of this? That's why she recommended it to Senior Sister now.

Lu Qian's eyes made Gu Nishang feel uneasy, and she couldn't help but yell, "What are you looking at with such a sneaky look?"

Lu Qian laughed loudly: "Today I know that Fairy Nishang is also a person of great knowledge and profound insight. She is no longer just a nobody!"

Gu Nishang widened her eyes. Although she didn't know what "Amon of Wu" meant, she knew it was not a good word. She strode forward and started to hit him with her palm.

"Today I will show you who is the real Wu, Wuxia Amon!"

Jiang Qingfeng smiled and stood aside with her hands in her sleeves. The hall was filled with a happy atmosphere.

In December of the 423rd year of Jiashen, the Yunshan Sect's Pill-making Ceremony was held as scheduled. All the sects in the nine counties of Cangzhou that had established their foundation were invited. Mianlong Mountain was crowded with guests and was extremely lively. The sumptuous banquet stretched from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain.

Xuanwei Sect, Lingshou Sect, and Qinglian Zhenzong all sent envoys to express congratulations, which further demonstrated the extraordinary status and great reputation of Yunshan Sect.

At the Golden Elixir Creation Ceremony, everyone congratulated the newly promoted Golden Elixir Master, Jiang Qingfeng, the elder of the Yunshan Sect.

The Northwest Pacification Envoy, the head of the Yunshan Sect, Tianyuanzi Lu Qian also announced her Taoist name in public.

Liquan Jun.

This name contains the long-cherished wish of Yunshan Sect to regain its ancestral bloodline, and is destined to spread far and wide with the rise of Yunshan Sect.

Among the many guests, there was one who looked at Jiang Qingfeng who had achieved the Golden Elixir, feeling envy and full of longing in his heart.

Tianyuanzi, Liquanjun, the Taoist names chosen by the Yunshan School are all very good.

If I wait another fifteen or sixteen years, I will be able to complete my foundation.

I have too much on my shoulders, I must work hard and overcome this disaster!
When that time comes, please ask Master Lu to choose a Taoist name for me.

Father, if you are in heaven, please bless us.

The head of the Linglu Sect, the fellow sect of the Yunshan Sect, Zhuang Hui, withdrew his gaze and drank the wine in his glass. (End of this chapter)
