As a melodious and solemn bell swayed like ripples and resounded through the sky, the bustling and talking crowd in the White Jade Square immediately fell silent.

The sound of the bell seemed to have magic power, drawing everyone's thoughts back to the moment in front of them, and countless eyes instantly focused on the center of the square.

Under the breathless gaze of more than 30,000 disciples of the Four Holy Sects, a huge platform was like a fairy mountain emerging from the ground, slowly rising into the air, and stopping at a platform that could be seen no matter where in the square. Unobstructed location.

There are already people sitting on the platform.

On the left side, there are thirteen figures sitting impressively. Each of them is covered with vast power, or exudes the aura of a child with crane hair, the spirit of immortality, or the figure of beauty and elegant red clothes. These twelve people are the Jindan Changni who represent the highest authority of the Four Saints Sect.

On the right side are Jì Hou and his two Taoist companions - Yuan Zhihong and Yao Yun. Facing the gazes of tens of thousands of fellow disciples and brothers and sisters below, they felt the pressure of such public attention for the first time in their lives, and they couldn't help but show a little fear and shyness.

Jì Hou was sitting between the two women. He noticed their nervousness, so he smiled and held the catkin of a beautiful woman with one hand, and said gently: "It is normal to feel nervous when facing so many eyes for the first time. You will be more relaxed in the future." It takes time to get used to it.”

The two women felt the firmness and warmth in their hands, and felt a lot more at ease. They also understood that what Jì Hou said was true.

Once today's succession ceremony is over, Jì Hou will become the new sect master of the Four Saints Sect. As the sect master's wife, they will definitely receive more attention in the future and need to learn to adapt.

Just as Jì Hou was interacting with the two Taoist monks, a man wearing a luxurious robe and a majestic face quietly appeared in the center of the platform.

He put his hands behind his back and stood calmly. Facing the gazes of tens of thousands of disciples below, everyone felt as oppressive as the weight of a mountain.

He is the current and famous sect leader of the Four Sacred Sects for many years - Venerable White Tiger. His personal power even surpassed the combined total of the thirteen Jindan elders around him, which was intimidating.

"Comrades..." Venerable White Tiger's voice was like a bell, vast and stirring, echoing throughout the Zhongyu Square.

"Today's events are quite sudden and I couldn't inform you in advance. We are summoned here now to witness the inheritance of our sect's title."

"I will step down as the sect leader today and be replaced by the newly promoted Nascent Soul monk Jì Hou. I will retire to the position of Supreme Elder."

"Fellow Daoist Jì Hou successfully passed through the Nascent Soul Tribulation two days ago and became the second Nascent Soul monk in our sect. His cultivation is strong enough to be the sect leader. You don't need to worry.

Venerable White Tiger's announcement was astonishing and caused an uproar in the square.

"What?! The sect is going to change people? Why so suddenly?" A disciple asked in shock.

"Let me go, it turns out that he was the one who made us panic during the tribulation before! However, since he is a Nascent Soul monk, let's forgive him for this time." A disciple scratched his head and said.

"So, starting from today, our Four Saints Sect will announce to the outside world a dual soul? The status of our sect will be greatly improved!" Some disciples were excited.

"Who is this Jì Hou? Why have I never heard of this name?" At the same time, some disciples were very confused.

At this time, those Qinglong lineage foundation-building deacons who had witnessed Jì Hou survive the Golden Core Tribulation suddenly became active. They gathered around Shucheng Road and communicated with excitement.

"Haha, let me just say, Jì Hou must be a peerless genius secretly cultivated by our sect. It seems that I guessed it right.

"Oh, Jì Hou lived with us in the cave of Deacon Hall back then. Does this count as we have been neighbors?"

"Of course forget it! This is a big deal. We were not neighbors of the original owner!"

A group of foundation-building deacons were talking to each other and were beaming, as if they had found one of the great pleasures in life.

Among the bustling group of disciples, an old figure with a face as wrinkled as a ravine, was looking with complicated eyes at Jì Hou, who was about to take over as the new leader of the Four Saints Sect on the high platform. He is none other than Lao Li Tou, who has been neighbor to Jì Hou for decades.

In Lao Tou Li's eyes, Jì Hou went from being a partner in the Qi refining period to being a majestic Nascent Soul monk and attracting the attention of thousands of people. This change made him feel mixed.

Looking back on the past, they had faced the hardships of cultivation together, but they never imagined that Jì Hou would rise to great heights due to an unknown opportunity. Looking back at myself, I am still stuck in the Qi training period, and my life span is approaching the end, and it is getting worse.

However, Lao Li Tou did not feel jealous. After all, they had been close friends for many years. Seeing Jì Hou achieve such achievements, deep down in his heart he could only feel sincere joy for his friend's brilliance.

"Alas -" Old Li Tou sighed softly. He no longer stared at the focal figure on the high platform. Instead, he chose to sit cross-legged and began to practice silently. He knew that only by practicing unremittingly every day could he barely lock in the rapidly disappearing energy in his body. Qi and blood extend short-lived vitality.

Just as he was about to meditate and practice, several shouts came from behind him, breaking the tranquility around him.

"Li Chi! Li Chi! Someone is looking for you."

"Sir, Li Chi is right here."

"Hey, Old Man Li, a Foundation Establishment Deacon is looking for you."

As the sound got closer and closer, someone patted Lao Li on the shoulder. Old Li Tou stood up in confusion, thinking how could the foundation-building monk find him, an old man with half a foot in the loess?

Turning around, he saw two people. One of them was Old Li Tou's new neighbor Chen You, who was also the one who called him just now. The other person, tall and tall with a calm aura, was obviously the foundation-building deacon.

Old Li Tou bowed his hands respectfully to Deacon Establishment: "Senior Deacon, what do you have to do with this junior?"

.........Please give me flowers...

The deacon smiled slightly, handed over a storage bag, and said: "This is what the sect master asked me to bring to you. He also asked me to tell you something. He said: It is rare to have a close friend in life. I wish you a prosperous future."

After the deacon finished conveying the message, he also bowed his hands to Lao Litou in greeting, then turned and left. Before leaving, he specially gave a few spiritual stones to the disciple who led the way as a reward.

After the deacon left, Chen You walked forward curiously: "Hey, Old Li Tou, it turns out that you still have a relationship with the sect master? I really can't tell. Take a look at what good things the sect master has prepared for you. It will definitely be good. Bar.

Lao Litou smiled lightly and opened the storage bag with a hint of helplessness. When he saw clearly what was inside, his whole body froze in place as if he had been struck by lightning, and his eyes were filled with incredible shock.

"Old Li Tou, what kind of treasure is this? Does it surprise you so much?" Chen You became even more curious when he saw this.

Lao Litou took a deep breath, slowly closed the storage bag, and did not answer Chen You's question.

Because he knew that the two pills in the storage bag were too valuable. For a Qi training disciple, their value was immeasurable. Even the foundation-building monks would be excited when they saw them.

One is a foundation-building pill, worth as much as 50,000 spirit stones. Even in the world of cultivation, it has a price but no market. However, compared with the other pill, the Foundation Establishment Pill actually pales in comparison. Because the second pill is called Life-Extension Pill!

The Life Extension Pill is a fourth-level elixir that is rare in the world and hard to find. Its value is at least ten thousand times higher than the Foundation Establishment Pill! This elixir has a heaven-defying effect [it can increase the health of those who take it by a full fifty

lifespan!

Even high-level monks would fight for such a precious treasure, but now, it actually fell into his hands. Lao Litou's heart instantly surged with enthusiasm, as if the hope that had been extinguished for a long time was burning again.

With this longevity pill, he saw the possibility of breaking through the bottleneck of Qi training and hitting the foundation building realm. Once the foundation is successfully built and his life span can be increased by another hundred years, he will still have the opportunity to explore and appreciate the vast world of cultivation in person.

At this moment, Lao Li Tou looked gratefully towards the high platform, and happened to collide with Jì Hou's eyes.

Jì Hou seemed to notice his gaze, smiled slightly, and nodded gently towards Lao Li.

At this moment, Lao Li Tou was moved and grateful beyond words. He knew that all of this was a gift given to him by Jì Hou.

On the high platform, Jì Hou withdrew his gaze. He felt relieved when he saw that Old Li Tou had regained his fighting spirit. With the life-extending pill and Old Li Tou's efforts, attacking the foundation building would not be a problem.

Recalling the precious life-extending pill, Jì Hou didn't feel bad, because it was a gift given to him by Du Yuanxiu, the chief of the Suzaku lineage, and he wouldn't need it for the time being. Taking it to repay Lao Li Tou's decades-old favor Just four. .
