Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 398 Ceremony
When old man Sha Yu saw Lu Ye respond with a salute, he felt relieved.

After all, because of the instigation of that idiot Sha Haisheng, the Jinsha clan has offended the patriarch Lan He to death.

Even though he had the support of a senior Jindan and they were on the Jinshamen territory, he expected that Patriarch Lan would not confront him in person.

But what if you meet an idiot who doesn’t play by the rules?
After all, the other party can reach the golden elixir level tonight, and who knows what shocking things he can do.

Seeing the smile on Lu Ye’s face at this moment, old man Sha Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.

Mo Ruyan suddenly said at this time.

"Master, tonight is the celebration banquet. We were originally here to celebrate the fruitful results of today's attack."

“Who would have thought that happiness would be added to happiness, Brother Lan would take one step forward and enter the Golden Elixir realm!”

"Why not take advantage of tonight's banquet to congratulate Fellow Daoist Lan?"

Mo Ruyan glanced at Yu Sanren, who understood and added.

"What Mo Sanren said makes sense!"

"Master, in the next few days, according to the rules, we must prepare to hold a Golden Elixir Ceremony for Fellow Daoist Lan and announce it to all quarters!"

"It's a good opportunity to boost morale and let those enemies in the north of the mountain see how prosperous our south of the mountain is!"

Old man Sha Yu rolled his eyes, thought for a moment and said "yes" decisively.

According to the tradition of this world.

Practicing Qi is just the beginning, and building the foundation is considered to be a few more steps on the road to immortality. Only when you reach the Golden Elixir stage can you be considered a true immortal cultivator.

In recent ancient times, those who achieved the Golden Elixir would be called a Taoist, and if they achieved the Nascent Soul, they would be called a Zhenren.

When a cultivator succeeds in cultivating the golden elixir, it is a great joyous event and he would send out invitations far and wide to invite fellow cultivators to come and celebrate together.

Although there is a war going on in the north and south of Huangsha Mountain now, the sects and families in the north of the mountain can forget about it.

However, outside Huangsha Mountain, there are still many sects in the territory of Chu State that need to be notified.

The arrival of so many sects can help increase the popularity of his own sect, and maybe he can recruit one or two more capable golden elixirs.

The Three Wanderers have been growing stronger in the past few years, and that idiot Sha Haisheng was unable to break through and cultivate into a golden elixir at the critical moment. Now the strength of the top leaders has become unbalanced.

In addition, among the four golden elixirs in the north of the mountain, three lion kings died, while on the south side of the mountain, one more golden elixir was gained. This was a great joy.

Holding the Golden Elixir Ceremony is just the right way to scare those thieves in the north of the mountain.

Although according to today's discussion, this Lanhe tribe leader may lead his people to leave Jinshamen.

But maybe there is a chance to stay. In short, Jinshamen must show its eagerness to recruit talents.

"Fellow Daoist Lan, what do you think?" After discussing with the three wandering people for a few words, old man Sha Yu turned to look at Lu Ye.

Lu Yeyi bowed and smiled.

"Of course it's better to obey than to be respectful!"

"Everything will be arranged by the three Taoist friends!"

In fact, his original intention was to quit and leave, taking the Lan clan members away from Huangsha Mountain.

But when he heard that old man Sha Yu was going to hold a Golden Elixir Ceremony for him, he was not sleepy at all.

It doesn’t really matter whether this is a traditional event or not, it’s just a place for a bunch of people to come and eat and drink.

He was like a smiling puppet, receiving a few compliments from others, and then complimenting others a few more times, and the whole ceremony was over.

But Lu Ye had seen that there was a very important activity in the Golden Elixir Ceremony.

It’s no less than collecting wedding gifts.

That is accepting gifts.

All the powerful people from all over the world who are willing to come will be given generous gifts.

It could be a precious martial arts technique, a dazzling spiritual stone, or some rare treasures.

Anyway, it’s just two words: valuable!

With such a wonderful thing happening, it wouldn't hurt to stay in Huangsha Mountain for a few more days.

Otherwise, Lu Ye would feel that his golden elixir was deficient.

"Okay!" No matter what old man Sha Yu thought in his heart, he laughed and grabbed Lu Ye's hand and raised it high to his disciples!

"All disciples, listen up. Today is a great day for Shannan!"

"Except for the disciples on duty, everyone can drink as much as they want tonight. No need to be restrained!"

"In addition, the supply quota for all elders and disciples will be doubled this month. We in Jinshamen will celebrate together!"

After hearing this, the disciples below immediately cheered!

It was the glory of the Lan family that the clan leader Lan He achieved the golden elixir, but it was the real honor for him to get an extra share of spirit stones that would go into his own pocket.

Immediately, some disciples began to whisper below.

"The headmaster is really generous. Patriarch Lan has passed the tribulation and achieved the golden elixir. We are really blessed."

"It would be great if someone from our Jinsha Sect could achieve the Golden Elixir through tribulation every day!"

"What are you dreaming about? Didn't you see how many years the deputy sect leader Shengsha, who is closest to the golden elixir, has wasted, and he has never achieved the golden elixir!"

"Hiss, speaking of Deputy Sect Leader Sha, have you heard about that gossip?"

"Today in the main hall, Deputy Sect Master Sha and Patriarch Lan had a very unpleasant quarrel!"

"Patriarch Lan has made great contributions by building his foundation and killing the golden elixir. He wants to lead his people out of Huangsha Mountain!"

"Deputy Sect Leader Sha asked him to put the overall situation first and hand over his spiritual weapons and refined corpses. He also restricted his ability to exchange them for resources."

"Now that Chief Lan has become Blue Golden Elixir, Deputy Chief Sha probably wants to die now."

"Who could have imagined such a thing? I wonder how Patriarch Lan would retaliate against Deputy Sect Master Sha?"

"After the Golden Elixir Ceremony, will Ancestor Lan still stay in our Jinsha Sect?"

"Brother, we are not even in the late stage of Qi training, so don't worry about the Golden Core!"

"Let's line up together later and toast a glass of wine to the headmaster San Sanren and Patriarch Lan. There's nothing wrong with that."

Let’s not worry about what the sects and family members below think.

The banquet resumed.

There are now five chairs placed on the platform.

Old Man Sha Yu, as the leader of the sect, sat in the middle. On his left hand was Mo Ruyan, and on his right sat Yu San Ren and Zhu San Ren, sitting on two chairs.

The chair next to Mo Ruyan was left empty for Lu Ye.

This arrangement was made on the one hand because Lu Ye had followed Mo Ruyan in battle for five years, and the two of them had a certain relationship and could be considered acquaintances.

On the other hand, Lu Ye had just achieved the Golden Elixir stage, so the seat at the edge was more suitable for him.

The chair was empty at this time because Lu Ye had just survived a thunderstorm and most of his robes were damaged, so he needed to change clothes.

A moment later, Lu Ye, who had finished washing and changed into a white robe, reappeared in front of everyone with the face of Patriarch Lanhe.

He smiled and sat down in his seat.

Or maybe it’s because leaders like to sit on a high platform.

Looking down at this moment, one saw a sea of ​​people kneeling down, respectfully calling out "Ancestor Lan", and then drinking the wine glasses they were holding.

Accompanied by the faint music of the gods, there were graceful female nuns dancing in the sky, and spiritual birds and animals were walking around listening to the music.

How could the enjoyment of an emperor on earth compare to even a fraction of this?

Lu Ye laughed heartily, picked up his wine glass and drank heartily.

Anyway, he has Ah Chou hidden in his sleeves, so it’s no wonder that these people are worshipping him alone.

Even if everyone challenges him to drink, he remains fearless.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

There was a man in the crowd who hunched over and tiptoed up to the platform.

The man bowed to the ground in front of Lu Ye, raised the wine glass high, almost to his head, and kept confessing his guilt.

His voice was as low as a mosquito's, he was embarrassed and his face was as red as a monkey's butt.

"Ancestor Lan, I was the one who failed to recognize the real talent and offended you today!"

"Please be magnanimous and generous, Master Lan!"

Lu Ye narrowed his eyes and looked coldly, it turned out to be Sha Haisheng, the deputy leader of Jinsha Sect.

He snorted coldly and did not answer, but left the man aside.

Sha Haisheng's body was nailed to the high platform, and he bent down and bowed like a nail that was ruthlessly bent by a hammer.

At this time, many disciples below the stage noticed this and pointed and talked in low voices.

The Jinshamen people felt somewhat ashamed, but the children of the family and small sects did not have so many concerns.

"Look, Sha Haisheng is defeated!"

"He deserves it. Who made him bully Old Ancestor Lan? Why does he deserve this?"

"But he is the deputy leader of the Jinsha Sect after all. Isn't it too disrespectful to the Sect Leader for Elder Lan to do this?"

"Don't worry, the deputy sect leader is the sect leader's beloved disciple, the sect leader will come forward!"

Everyone was talking about it, and the news spread to the podium. Sha Haisheng's face turned red as if he was steamed, and big drops of sweat dripped onto the podium.

At this moment, he wished he could dig a hole in the ground, crawl into it, and escape by using the earth escape technique.

But he didn't dare, because it was old man Sha Yu who personally arranged for him to make an apology.

Old man Sha Yu coughed and laughed beside him.

"Brother Lan, I am a stupid and ignorant disciple. I have offended you today!"

"Since he sincerely repents, give him a chance to start over!"

Lu Ye pretended to be reluctant.

"Fellow Daoist Sha," he deliberately addressed him in a distant way, "I am willing to give you a chance."

"But there are still many things that have not been decided yet!"

Lu Ye changed to using telepathy to communicate with old man Sha Yu and the three scattered people at the same time.

"Fellow Taoists!"

"What happened today is today!"

"In the hall, this boy proposed for the sake of the overall situation."

"I, Lan, want to lead my people away from Huangsha Mountain."

"They asked me to hand in my spiritual weapons and refined corpses, and restricted the exchange."

"You have to give me an explanation, right?"

Old man Sha Yu and San San Ren looked at each other and found that San San Ren had no expression on their faces. They all looked as if it had nothing to do with them and they just wanted to watch the show.

He cursed the ungrateful man in his heart and could only suppress his anger and communicate through his spiritual sense.

"Brother Lan, calm down, calm down!"

"What Haisheng said in the hall today was indeed ill-considered!"

"Please don't worry about what I mentioned before. What about handing it over? Restricting exchange is not a problem at all."

"But are you sure you want to leave Huangsha Mountain?"

Old man Sha Yu still wanted to keep Lu Ye to check and balance the three scattered people.

Lu Ye replied seriously.

"Fellow Daoist Sha, I am the head of our clan after all!"

"Put yourself in my shoes. Since you have accomplished the great feat of building a foundation and slaying the golden elixir, according to the rules, my people can leave on their own."

"Now that my Lan clan members have learned the news, their hearts are no longer here."

"What's the point of forcing me to stay?"

Old man Sha Yu cursed in his heart that the man was sly.

The highest cultivation level of those Lan clan members has not even reached the foundation-building stage, so leaving them all behind would be of no use to the giant Jinshamen.

What he wanted was Lan He, the new golden elixir.

"Fellow Daoist Lan, if you stay, I will let you be the deputy sect leader!"

"Sha Haisheng is an idiot who is not doing his job well. As punishment, he should be dismissed from his post!"

When Old Man Sha Yu said these two sentences, he transmitted the message through his spiritual consciousness alone, intentionally blocking the three scattered people.

At the same time, Mo Ruyan was also secretly transmitting the message.

"Fellow Daoist Lan, are you interested in becoming the fourth Wanderer?" "If Fellow Daoist Lan agrees, I have a technique that will lead you directly to the Nascent Soul stage as a gift!"

Lu Zhiye smiled secretly.

Jinshamen has finally established a slight advantage, but the top leaders in the sect are no longer united.

Both sides are trying to win themselves over.

What old man Sha Yu gave was a title, and maybe he wanted to use me to take the opportunity to integrate the family and disciples of the small sect.

Mo Ruyan was even more straightforward and directly gave the Nascent Soul technique.

But this is not what I want at all.

Lu Ye shook his head and sent a telepathic message to Old Man Sha Yu and Mo Ruyan respectively.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I've been fighting for five consecutive years and I'm tired!"

"Let's wait until I have settled my people down before considering this matter!"

He didn't say anything final, but just politely declined the two people.

It is impossible to take refuge in Jinshamen.

Even though it's the idiot Sha Haisheng charging in the front, actually it's old man Sha Yu who's backing him up.

Jinshamen has dug such a big hole for me, how can I possibly turn around and throw myself into it again?

It's not his character to not fill this hole and then step on it a few more times.

It is not a good choice to join Mo Ruyan now.

He didn't want to take sides too early.

Lu Ye did not forget that Mo Ruyan was also on his kill list.

According to his observations during the five years of following Mo Ruyan in battle, this woman obviously has a powerful trump card, and her cultivation is far superior to that of the average veteran Jindan.

Obviously, they are not so easy to kill. Anyway, judging from the civil war in Huangsha Mountain, it will continue for many years.

Lu Ye was not in a hurry. Who knew what level his cultivation would reach in a few years?

Leave a gap now, and then come back to join the battle at the right time to resolve this pair of enemies.

Seeing that Lu Ye was determined to leave, Old Man Sha Yu and Mo Ruyan stopped trying to persuade him.

The two of them weighed the issue in their minds.

For them, although they were disappointed that they could not win Lan He over to their side, they did not lose out since Lan He was willing to leave Huangsha Mountain and did not join the other side.

A few people had ulterior motives in their minds, so they laughed and the matter was revealed.

Old man Sha Yu pointed at the sea of ​​sand.

"Get up, Haisheng!"

"In the future, remember not to be so reckless. Think more carefully and be cautious first!"

"Master Lan, please forgive me for my mistakes!"

Sha Haisheng was overjoyed. He bowed hurriedly and respectfully and drank the wine in the glass.

Lu Ye snorted coldly, with a forced smile on his face, raised his hand slightly, and touched the wine glass with his lips to indicate that he had drunk it.

Sha Haisheng was sweating all over. He bowed again, then took small steps back. He didn't even dare to turn around, and walked down the platform with his butt sticking out.

That night everyone celebrated until midnight before dispersing.

Because Lu Ye was undergoing a tribulation, the cave where he lived on the ground, along with the homes of a dozen unlucky neighbors around him, were smashed to pieces by lightning.

The sect has arranged new accommodation for everyone.

As the ancestor of the Golden Core, Lu Ye and Sha Haisheng intentionally arranged to be neighbors with old man Sha Yu and the three scattered people in the place with the most abundant spiritual energy on the entire mountain.

Lu Ye shook his head in denial. He was going to leave after the Golden Core Ceremony anyway, so why bother hanging out with these big guys?
Besides, being neighbors with these people would make it inconvenient for others to come to him.

He chose a cave of a slightly lower level, which was prepared for the sect's distinguished guests.

When he came back from drinking, everything inside and outside the cave had been swept and made fresh, sandalwood was lit, and all the furniture and items were ready.

Sure enough, before he could even warm up his seat on the cushion, someone outside asked for an audience with him.

The cave door opened.

Lan Wutong led his tribesmen, bent over and walked in, then knelt on the ground.

"Congratulations to the ancestor for achieving the golden elixir!"

"With the protection of our ancestor, our Lan family has become the number one family in Huangsha Mountain!"

"It will surely prosper from generation to generation and bring honor to our ancestors!"

Lu Ye laughed and asked everyone to stand up.

"We are all from the same clan. I was your clan leader before. Now it's nothing more than a further step in cultivation. Don't be restrained!"

"You are all my most trustworthy tribesmen!"

Everyone knows how to say nice things and flatter others.

However, despite Lu Ye's gentle attitude, Lan Wutong and his tribesmen still looked at him with deep awe, and their attitude was very different from before.

If the previous reverence for the ancestor was like that of common people towards the emperor, then at this moment it is like that of mortals towards gods.

Lu Ye glanced at the crowd, taking in their expressions one by one. This was the extraordinary world, where all great power belonged to oneself.

This is how they were when I achieved Golden Elixir. If I achieved Nascent Soul, I’m afraid they wouldn’t hesitate to let them die, right?
Lu Ye noticed that among the twenty-odd tribesmen, there were more than ten people with particularly fanatical looks.

Hearing Lu Ye call them the most trusted tribesmen, these dozen tribesmen burst into tears and even knelt down and kowtowed, extremely excited.

It's ironic to say, these dozen people are mostly at the second or third level of Qi training, they are young, have been fighting for five years, and have been hanging out with the Jinshamen people every day. In the past year, they have always regarded themselves as Jinshamen people.

I didn't expect that after I cultivated to the golden elixir, they came to me without hesitation to curry favor with me.

No one is stupid. In Jinshamen, no matter how loyal they are, after all, they all have the surname Lan.

Whether it is the techniques taught or the resources obtained, they cannot be compared with the real Jinshamen disciples.

Now that we have our own true God, why should we worship the Bodhisattvas in other temples?

This is human nature's desire for strength.

Lan Wutong asked respectfully.

"Please tell us, ancestor, whether our people should go or stay, so that we can make preparations early."

Lu Ye said frankly that he had already communicated with Old Man Sha Yu and the three scattered people, and after the Golden Elixir Ceremony was over, he would lead his people to leave Huangsha Mountain.

"After five years of fighting, more than half of our Lan family members were killed or injured, and I killed a Golden Core Demon King when I was building my foundation!"

"We have done our best for Jinshamen. The Lan family has shed enough blood!"

"It's time to think about yourself. You should spend the next few days packing up and preparing to move!"

"By the way, Wutong, go down and make arrangements. We still have to preserve our clan land."

"We will select a few immortal seedlings to stay in the tribe, and the mortals in the tribe who are willing to migrate will also leave with us."

"Okay, another visitor has arrived, please leave!"

Lan Wutong and his clansmen withdrew respectfully.

Soon, a familiar voice was heard from outside.

"I am a late comer, Yunyanke, Guan Changdao, and would like to see Patriarch Lan!"

Lu Ye scolded with a smile.

"Come in quickly!"

"Don't think that you can get rid of the spiritual stone points you owe me just by calling me Ancestor Lan. You must accept the loss if you are willing to gamble. You cannot shirk your gambling debts."

Among them, Yun Yanke is fond of gambling, which has influenced others. Everyone is used to gambling in their spare time.

However, with Ah Chou peeping at him, Lu Ye couldn't lose and became the big creditor of the two.

The cave door creaked open.

Yun Yanke came in from outside carrying Guan Changdao on his back.

Yun Yanke, who was carrying Guan Changdao on his back, said proudly.

"Master Guan, what can I say? Master Lan is definitely a nostalgic person. I won the bet this time!"

Guan Changdao snorted, unwilling to pay any attention to this cocky guy.

Lu Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Yun Yanke, who is a harsh-mouthed and gambling-loving person, is so brave that he would even take a gamble on something like this.

The two entered the cave, bowed to Lu Ye first, and then presented each of them with a gift box.

Lu Ye waved his robe and asked the two to sit down.

Yun Yanke slapped his thigh.

"Ancestor Lan, this is truly a relief. Didn't you see that Sha Haisheng was arrogant all day long? Now that he has seen us, he has become as bad as a rat. It's really a relief!"

Guan Changdao was seriously injured and his voice was weak.

"Ancestor, I just saw the Lan clan members go out and they are all very happy!"

"Are we going to leave the mountain after the ceremony?"

"It's a pity that my last name is Guan and not Lan. How hateful!"

"I wonder if you need a foster son now?"

"If there is no shortage, will you accept it now?"

"If you don't accept it, will your adopted grandson consider it?"

Yun Yanke was shocked. He didn't expect that a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes could be so good at flattering.

Lu Ye knew that Guan Changdao was also joking and laughed heartily.

The three of them chatted for a while, and as it was getting late, Yun Yanke and Guan Changdao left.

A few days later.

In Jinsha Sect, everyone from the head monk to the disciples wore brand new robes and looked beaming with joy.

The mountain gate is wide open today, and it is the auspicious day of the Lu Ye Golden Elixir Ceremony.

There is a festive atmosphere all over the mountain.

The mountain protection formation must naturally be opened, loose on the outside and tight on the inside to prevent the Tianlun Sect from causing trouble.

The gate to the ceremony opened.

Old man Sha Yu sat high up on his left, and Lu Ye was the protagonist today, sitting side by side with him on his right.

The other three people sat on the left and right.

Several people had smiles on their faces. Many of their fellow practitioners who had come from outside Huangsha Mountain were already sitting in the hall.

However, most of the people who came at this time were from foundation-building families and small sects.

At this time, a beam of light came from the south.

The elder of Jinshamen welcomed the guests at the foot of the mountain with the lion's roar.

"Elder Tiegong of the Gushan Sect has arrived..."

Gushan Sect is a major Jindan sect in the State of Chu. Elder Tiegong is a veteran in foundation building, and sending him here is considered a great honor to the Jinsha Sect.

In the hall, Sha Haisheng rushed out in a hurry. He was the deputy leader of the foundation-building sect and was just the right person to greet the other party.

Old man Sha Yu's face lit up with joy. Finally, a representative from the Jindan sect came. So today's Jindan Ceremony would not be a failure.

Lu Ye raised his eyebrows, but was thinking in his heart.

Elder Tiegong, isn't this the master of the three brothers? I wonder if they followed us.

If they came, I wonder if Furonger would come or not?

At this time, Elder Lei Yin's voice came from the foot of the mountain again, his voice was high-pitched and a little out of tune.

"Elder Qi Zhentao of Lingyun Sect has arrived!"

Old man Sha Yu stood up quickly and flew down the mountain.

Lu Ye and the three scattered people followed soon after.

The Lingyun Sect is the lord of the Chu State, and its leader, Master Lingyun, is a genuine Nascent Soul cultivator.

And this Elder Qi is even more interesting.

Isn’t Qi Zhentao Qi Fangfang’s grandfather, the one who was seriously injured and kept in seclusion with his life or death in danger?
Did he survive and get out?
I don’t know if Qi Fangfang has followed here, and what about the three sworn brothers who might show up? It would be exciting to think about if they met Mo Ruyan.

Lu Ye suddenly became nervous.
