Guest Elder of Ziwei Immortal Palace
Chapter 1580 Guest Elder of Ziwei Immortal Palace
After the meeting ended hastily and everyone dispersed, Wei Changqing reappeared and enthusiastically led Liu Changxu to a grand manor.
Upon entering the manor, Liu Changxu scanned it with his divine sense and discovered that the manor covered a vast area, amounting to tens of thousands of acres.
Within the manor, pavilions and towers are scattered in a well-organized manner, adorned with exotic flowers and rare plants. Servants dressed as disciples of the Ziyang Immortal Sect move about, each performing their duties. There are over a hundred graceful and beautiful maids alone, showcasing the profound heritage of the immortal sect.
In the very center of the manor, a nine-story pavilion rises from the ground, with carved beams and painted rafters, surrounded by ethereal light, and exudes an extraordinary grandeur.
Wei Changqing stepped aside to lead the way, and soon accompanied Liu Changxu to the front of the pavilion.
Before they could enter, two stunningly beautiful and ethereal female cultivators at the Refinement Void Realm led a group of beautiful maids out to greet them.
The two stunningly beautiful female cultivators approached the two men and greeted them in unison:
"Your humble servants, Yun Yao and Yun Xia, pay their respects to the Grand Elder!"
Wei Changqing immediately straightened his expression and solemnly began to speak:
"This is Immortal Lord Yunxiao, hurry up and pay your respects!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Yao and Yun Xia dared not be negligent and immediately bowed in unison, saying:
"We pay our respects to Immortal Lord Yunxiao!"
Liu Changxu smiled gently, raised his hand in a gesture of support, and said in a amiable tone:
"Please, everyone, no need for formalities."
Then, surrounded by maids such as Yun Yao and Yun Xia, Liu Changxu and Wei Changqing slowly stepped into the pavilion.
Inside the pavilion, the beams and pillars were carved and painted, the jade pillars were gilded, and the floor was paved with smooth, flawless white jade tiles. A faint mist of ethereal smoke lingered in the air. After passing through a winding corridor, the two arrived at an elegant and magnificent reception room.
The living room was furnished in an antique style, with a table carved from spirit wood that was as smooth as jade, and rare spirit flowers and exotic plants placed around it, with a subtle fragrance wafting in the air.
After Liu Changxu and Wei Changqing took their seats, Yun Yaoyu picked up a jade pot and poured each of them a cup of celestial tea filled with spiritual energy. The rich aroma of the tea instantly spread, making people feel refreshed and relaxed.
After sharing a cup of immortal tea with Liu Changxu, Wei Changqing excused himself and left.
Not long after he left, Immortal Lord Ziyan, Luo Ziyan, brought Xiao Yu to visit him.
Liu Changxu hurriedly invited Luo Ziyan and her apprentice in. After the three of them were seated as host and guest, Luo Ziyan smiled and said:
"I have come here mainly to thank you, Immortal Lord, for saving my disciple's life. This is a token of my gratitude, and I hope you will accept it!"
As she spoke, Luo Ziyan gently raised her jade hand, and a jade-green storage bracelet, wrapped in a faint spiritual light, slowly floated towards Liu Changxu.
Liu Changxu slightly flipped his wrist, and a gentle surge of magical power supported the storage bracelet, softly sending it back. He smiled and said:
"Immortal Lord Ziyan is too kind. Saving Fairy Xiao was nothing more than a small favor. I, Liu, really dare not accept such a generous gift."
Luo Ziyan insisted on pushing the storage bracelet in front of him again, and said sincerely:
"My lord, please accept it. Otherwise, I will never be at peace with myself."
Seeing her resolute attitude, Liu Changxu had no choice but to accept the storage bracelet, nodding and smiling.
"In that case, it would be impolite of me to refuse."
Seeing that he accepted it, Luo Ziyan's smile deepened, and she suddenly changed the subject, asking:
"I wonder if Immortal Lord Yunxiao would be interested in joining my Ziwei Immortal Palace?"
Liu Changxu was slightly taken aback by her directness and hesitated for a moment, unsure how to respond appropriately. Seeing this, Luo Ziyan did not urge him but calmly continued:
"Immortal Lord, there is no need to rush to answer. If you are willing to join, my Ziwei Immortal Palace is willing to provide extremely generous benefits, including a low-grade immortal vein dojo, cultivation techniques that can lead to the perfection of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and so on."
After hearing Luo Ziyan's introduction, Liu Changxu smiled and politely declined, saying:
"Changxu thanks Immortal Lord Luo for his kindness! However, I am always free and do not like to be controlled or restrained. I appreciate your kindness, Immortal Lord."
Seeing that Liu Changxu had politely declined, Luo Ziyan did not give up. With a hint of earnestness in her eyes, she continued to persuade him:
"If you are unwilling to join my Ziwei Immortal Palace as a formal elder, that is fine. You can follow the example of Ancestor Ziyang and become a guest elder of my Ziwei Immortal Palace."
"Oh?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Liu Changxu's eyes, and he asked casually:
"So, what are the differences in treatment and responsibilities between these guest elders and the official elders in the palace?"
Seeing that he was interested, Luo Ziyan was secretly pleased and calmly began to introduce him:
"Guest Elders have a transcendent status. They do not need to reside in the Immortal Palace regularly, nor do they need to perform duties, handle miscellaneous affairs within the palace, or receive daily tasks assigned by the Immortal Palace. They only need to accept the summons unconditionally when the Immortal Palace encounters a major event and issues a conscription order."
She paused briefly, then continued:
"As for the treatment, my Ziwei Immortal Palace will certainly not treat them unfairly. Guest elders who complete the recruitment missions assigned by the Immortal Palace can receive generous sect merits. With merits, they can exchange for cultivation techniques and immortal items needed for their cultivation in the Immortal Palace's treasury and library."
"So, as long as I become a guest elder of the Ziwei Immortal Palace, I can freely exchange my merits for sect techniques and secret arts?"
Liu Changxu's eyes instantly lit up with keen interest, and he asked:
Luo Ziyan smiled sweetly and said with certainty:
"That is certainly true. If the Immortal Lord is willing to become a guest elder of my Immortal Palace, I can personally speak to the Palace Master to apply for a top-tier cultivation technique that allows you to cultivate directly to the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm."
"Such preferential treatment?"
A glint flashed in Liu Changxu's eyes, and he immediately nodded in agreement, saying:
"If that is the case, then I will accept and become a guest elder of the Ziwei Immortal Palace."
Liu Changxu understood that in order to establish a stable foothold in the Immortal Realm, in addition to his own powerful strength, he also needed the protection of a top-tier cultivation force. Therefore, becoming a guest elder of a top-tier force like the Ziwei Immortal Palace was the most appropriate choice.
Moreover, the conditions offered by Luo Ziyan were far too generous, almost as if they were tailor-made for him. Accepting them would be entirely beneficial.
Seeing that he readily agreed, Luo Ziyan's eyes lit up with a satisfied smile, and she said softly:
"Excellent! Welcome, fellow Daoist, to my Ziwei Immortal Palace, where you will be honored with the position of Guest Elder."
As soon as she finished speaking, she gently raised her jade hand and took out a radiant red-gold token from her storage bracelet. The token was engraved with intricate purple crape myrtle cloud patterns and was surrounded by an ethereal aura. She then personally presented it to Liu Changxu.
After Liu Changxu took the token, he did not hesitate and immediately spat out a drop of blood essence into the token to begin the refining process.
After the essence blood landed on the token, it disappeared instantly. A few breaths later, the token quickly emitted a dazzling golden light, and the token's refining was finally completed.
Several lines of numbers instantly flashed through Liu Changxu's mind:
Guest Elder: Five
Name: Liu Changxu
Merit Points: 100000
Task: None
……
After seeing that Liu Changxu had refined the Guest Elder Token, Luo Ziyan gave Liu Changxu a brief introduction to the Ziwei Immortal Palace and some precautions, and then took her leave with Xiao Yu.
