Chapter 1852
Invitation from the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect
He was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.
However, his cultivation level was extremely high, reaching the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.
Moreover, he was wearing a high-grade Daoist robe of the sixth rank, which was white and black and embroidered with many sun and star patterns. He was clearly no ordinary person.
"I have long admired Fellow Daoist Lingxiao's reputation. I am Liu Dongfang, an elder of the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect. I have come here specifically to pay my respects to you and hope that you will grant me this opportunity."
At the same time, the middle-aged man used amplification technology to call out to the Crimson Feather Mountain Range.
'That person is from the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect?'
'One of the five top-tier Void Refinement forces in the Qingxia Realm, possessing a Void Refinement Perfection expert?'
'Why would such an important figure come to our clan's new territory? And why specifically ask to see Ancestor Pengyun?'
Upon hearing this, the Ling clan cultivators patrolling the Crimson Feather Mountain Range were startled and felt a sense of unease.
However, without clear instructions from the family, they dared not make any moves.
They greeted him politely and invited him into a reception hall that the family had recently built outside the Crimson Feather Mountain Range. They did not dare to neglect him and quickly sent a message to Ling Pengyun, who was in seclusion inside the Crimson Feather Mountain Range, to inform him of Liu Dongfang's arrival.
……
the other side.
Deep within the Crimson Feather Mountain Range, atop that sixth-tier low-grade Crimson Feather Mountain.
Inside a cave.
'Liu Dongfang of the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect?'
'Just as Fellow Daoist Hunyuan predicted, after I destroyed the Crimson Feather Immortal Sect and the White Water Immortal Sect, the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect would inevitably send someone to find me sooner or later.'
"Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Hunyuan is right; the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect is relatively fair and won't easily interfere in the conflicts between its subordinate forces."
'Otherwise, I fear that my Hunyuan lineage and I would not have been able to so easily destroy the Crimson Feather Immortal Sect and the White Water Immortal Sect back then.'
'Furthermore, they wouldn't wait until our clan is stable before sending people to seek us out. And judging from the number of people they sent this time, they probably have no ill intentions; otherwise, they wouldn't have only sent one person at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.'
Upon learning of the family's message and the unusual activity outside, Ling Pengyun raised an eyebrow slightly, but was not surprised by Liu Dongfang's arrival.
This is because the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect is the dominant force in the surrounding area. In fact, it is not only the subordinate force of the Crimson Feather Immortal Sect and the White Water Immortal Sect, but also the subordinate force of the Hunyuan lineage.
Under such circumstances, it is normal for them to send people over.
In addition, the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect not only has many highly skilled experts, but also excels in alchemy using water and fire, as well as magic, making it extremely powerful.
Even among the five top forces in the Qingxia Realm, it is enough to rank among the top three, making it a behemoth in the Qingxia Realm.
Secondly, the Hunyuan Heavenly Lord of the Hunyuan lineage, being quite familiar with the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect, had foreseen this day and informed Ling Pengyun in advance, allowing Ling Pengyun to be mentally prepared.
As they had guessed, the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect had already sensed something was amiss when Ling Pengyun was dealing with the Crimson Feather Immortal Sect and the White Water Immortal Sect.
Originally, he intended to help the Crimson Feather Immortal Sect and the White Water Immortal Sect resist Ling Pengyun. After all, those two major forces often paid tribute to the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect. Now that they were in danger, it would be difficult for them to obey if he did not help them.
However, when the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect learned that the Crimson Feather Immortal Sect and the White Water Immortal Sect had encountered such a formidable enemy as Ling Pengyun because they had colluded with the Ghost Path to deal with the Primordial Chaos Immortal City, the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect immediately became indifferent to them.
Furthermore, the Hunyuan lineage is also an affiliated force of the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect.
The palms of the palms and the backs of the hands are all meat.
Therefore, the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect has been observing from the sidelines.
During this time, when the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect saw that Ling Pengyun's talent was not lacking, they immediately considered him a rare talent and allowed him and the Hunyuan lineage to destroy those two forces. They even gave him enough time to settle his family and establish the Lingxiao Ling Clan.
Upon closer examination, the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect can be considered reliable.
It was for this reason that Ling Pengyun held him in higher esteem and temporarily left seclusion, intending to personally welcome Liu Dongfang, the guest from the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect.
However, he also had some ulterior motives. In order to avoid being discovered that he had condensed the Five Elements Refinement Foundation, he deliberately used the Primordial Scripture in his sea of consciousness to conceal the strength of his aura, suppressing it to between the superior and top-level Refinement Foundation.
In addition, he also wanted to disguise himself as an ordinary Void Refinement cultivator, but unfortunately, the commotion he caused when he destroyed the Crimson Feather Immortal Sect and the White Water Immortal Sect was too great, which indirectly led to the spread of the fact that his foundation was special.
Therefore, it was difficult to keep this a secret, but the outside world learned about his foundation in the Five Elements much faster than he did.
After all, this matter is too astonishing.
……
quite a while.
Outside the Akabane Mountain Range, inside the main hall for receiving guests.
Ling Pengyun soon met Liu Dongfang.
"I am Ling Xiao of the Ling Clan. Greetings, fellow Daoist."
"Furthermore, I was busy with many matters after establishing my clan here, so it was difficult for me to personally visit your clan. I hope your clan will not take offense."
Ling Pengyun bowed and greeted him.
Then, he took out a gift box and handed it to Liu Dongfang.
It contains ten sixth-order spirit crystals, which are quite valuable and presentable.
Therefore, after Liu Dongfang subtly noticed those things, the smile on his face couldn't help but widen.
"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. By the way, I have long heard of your extraordinary talent, and seeing you today, it is indeed true. Your aura is truly profound. I'm afraid you have cultivated a superior or even top-tier Void Refinement Foundation."
"This matter truly earns my utmost respect. When I first entered the Void Refinement stage, I had only condensed a mid-level foundation."
"That's why I've been stuck at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm for so long and haven't been able to break through."
Because of his high cultivation level, the powerful Sun and Moon Immortal Sect behind him, and his mastery of some advanced detection techniques, and because Ling Pengyun deliberately revealed his aura, Liu Dongfang was able to subtly perceive the strength of Ling Pengyun's aura, which made him feel somewhat impressed.
At this moment, Ling Pengyun was delighted to see that Liu Dongfang had so astutely detected the strength of his disguise.
He then struck up a conversation with him.
He then learned that Liu Dongfang was following the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect's tradition of dual cultivation of water and fire, and possessed formidable strength.
In addition, he was not good at any of the arts and crafts.
Therefore, the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect frequently dispatched him to various places.
"And this is considered a tough job."
"By the way, the reason I came here is to ask fellow Daoists and nobles if they are willing to become an annex of my Sun Moon Immortal Sect and offer thirty sixth-order spirit crystals as tribute to my sect every year."
"Furthermore, fellow Daoist, although this offering is quite large, becoming an affiliate of our sect also brings many benefits. In fact, in the future, you will be able to purchase a certain number of high-grade cultivation pills from our sect at 70% of the market price."
"Even if you or your nobles encounter special troubles, you can seek help from our sect. However, let me make it clear beforehand: if you, like the Crimson Feather Immortal Sect and the White Water Immortal Sect before, attack our other affiliated forces, then don't blame our sect for not taking action."
Liu Dongfang asked with a smile. (End of Chapter)
