Azure Cloud Sermon Settles Karma
Little C, this isn't what you call "original flavor"...
Pshaw, Lu Ping felt truly disgusted...
Lu Ping chose B.
[You chose B.]
You bowed respectfully and got straight to the point.
"Junior Brother Shen, I have been meditating in the mountains for several days, but I feel restless again and plan to travel once more."
"However, as Grand Supreme Elder of the sect, I have not accomplished anything since joining, and I am truly unworthy of this title."
"Before you depart, is there anything troublesome in the sect that requires my assistance?"
[The last time you asked this question, Shen Yaoxin refused to answer at all, afraid that you would use up fifty years of goodwill in one go.]
[But this time, after hearing your words, Shen Yaoxin not only didn't refuse, but also dropped his polite smile, his gaze lingering on you for a few moments.]
Shen Yaoxin took two steps forward and bowed deeply to you solemnly.
"Since Senior Brother Lu has spoken, I will not be coy any longer."
"I just learned that my senior brother is actually a Grandmaster of the Dao of Alchemy; I am truly shocked."
"Our Azure Cloud Sect is proficient in all four arts, yet we lack a single skill that can surpass all others in the Central Region."
"Before you leave the sect, senior brother, would you be so kind as to hold a Dharma talk at Red Cloud Peak and enlighten those unworthy juniors within the sect?"
You looked at Shen Yaoxin, who was bowing deeply and unable to get up, somewhat surprised.
[This cunning old fox before me is, at heart, a competent Sect Master who cares deeply about the rise and fall of the sect.]
[Passing on knowledge and skills, benefiting the entire sect—this favor is far more substantial than simply killing a few Blood Demon Sect elders.]
[Options pop up.]
[A: I gladly agreed, and began to preach and clarify the cause and effect between the parties.]
[B: I can give a lecture, but it costs extra! Admission is charged per person, 32 Contribution Points per disciple!]
[C: You kick over the incense burner in the main hall, pull out an electronic microphone, and set it up on the head seat: "What are you talking about, alchemy? That's a sunset industry! Notify all disciples to assemble in the square. Today, this elder will impart 'The Core Theory of Exploitation in Immortal Cultivation Capitalism' and 'How to Achieve Lying Down and Winning' for free. Anyone who doesn't buy my 3.2 million yuan worth of financial products after the lecture will be expelled from the sect!"]
Looking at the text on the screen, Lu Ping felt a greater sense of respect for Shen Yaoxin.
Everyone here is a smart person, and with things said to this point, everyone is happy.
Giving lectures for a few days will solidify my status Grand Supreme Elder and free me from my constraints—it's a very worthwhile deal.
Lu Ping chose A.
[You chose A.]
You reached out and gently helped Shen Yaoxin, speaking softly.
"Since it is for the sake of the sect's future generations, I, Lu, am naturally obliged to serve."
[For the next few days, Red Cloud Peak Square was packed, with even several Nascent Soul Elders who had been in seclusion for many years shamelessly squeezing into the front row.]
[You sit regally on the high platform, without holding anything back.]
[This sermon is completely different from the one I gave at the Thousand Mechanisms Sect back then.]
[At that time, in order to quickly accumulate Contribution Points, and given that the disciples of the Thousand Mechanisms Sect had a weak foundation, what you taught were mostly shortcuts and tricks to pass the exams.]
[This time, you used "Plain Explanation of the Dao of Alchemy" as your framework, starting from the origins of Dao of Alchemy and dissecting the pharmacology of herbs and plants layer by layer.]
[At the crucial point, you delved deeper into your own True Intention of Fire Control. The Great Flame Art, which you had deduced to its ultimate state, moved freely at your fingertips, controlled at will, fully demonstrating the Great Dao simplicity of the Great Dao.]
[You have now reached the Spirit Transformation Realm. When you speak of profound and subtle meanings, the wondrous sounds of the Great Dao accompany you, as if your words contain the laws of heaven, each one resonating with the very essence of the universe.]
The audience listened with rapt attention, and many previously unclear points suddenly became clear.
[As the sermon progressed smoothly, flashes of inspiration frequently appeared among the disciples below the platform. Many Alchemists who had been stuck at their bottlenecks for years suddenly felt a connection and entered a state of enlightenment.]
[This lecture lasted for a full five days.]
[Five days later, the Dharma teachings gradually faded, and you drifted away.]
[On the vast Red Cloud Peak plaza, thousands of cultivators remained seated with their eyes closed, immersed in the lingering echoes of the Great Dao, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.]
[After this sermon, the entire sect had no further objections to you, Grand Supreme Elder Lu, and revered you as a deity.]
[A few days later, you bowed to Shen Yaoxin, who was seeing you off, at Xiaolai Peak.]
[Shen Yaoxin stood in the mountain wind, watching your departing figure, and sighed softly.]
He understood that with this great favor of transmitting the Dharma, while your position Grand Supreme Elder would be as secure as Mount Tai, the slight constraint the Azure Cloud Sect placed on you would also vanish.
[After leaving the Azure Cloud Sect, you are teleported to Yi Wood City and then to the Thousand Mechanisms Sect.]
[Although you now have many Trait, the Multiskilling " and enhance your comprehension remains rare, and it has played a crucial role in these recent opportunities.]
[Especially with Jiang Mutian's transmission of the Dharma, his breakthrough in cultivation within ten days was largely due to the increased comprehension from his "Multiskilling" approach.]
[However, if "Multiskilling VIP Trait Slot, it requires ten skills to fully stack and increase the comprehension effect by two times.]
You currently only have seven skills recognized by the system.
[So your goal this time is very simple: to obtain the Thousand Mechanisms Sect's Mechanism Arts and Puppet Techniques.]
[Then, there's one small question; it would be wonderful to get an answer to it.]
You stand outside the Mountain Gates of the Thousand Mechanisms Sect.
[Clouds and mist surged between the mountain peaks, and several bronze flying bridges slowly moved as gears meshed.]
The massive Bronze Mechanism City above is suspended in mid-air, slowly rotating.
[With your current status Grand Supreme Elder the Azure Cloud Sect, every Mountain Gate in the nine major Central Regions of the Azure Dragon Domain would have to open its main gate wide, ringing bells and beating drums to welcome you in as an honored guest.]
[But you don't intend to use this identity.]
When you are weak, you should take advantage of existing resources.
[Back then, when you went to Broken Nascent Soul Demon-Severing Cliff to meet Song Fuan with your Nascent Soul cultivation, you naturally needed to leverage Jiang Mutian's influence to get things done.]
[Now that you've reached the Spirit Transformation, you yourself wield immense power in the Azure Dragon Central Region. Whether you use the Azure Cloud Sect's name or not is no longer of any use.]
[Moreover, in the fourth simulation, the attitude of Gongshu Ke, the Sect Master the Thousand Mechanisms Sect, towards the Dark Hall was quite intriguing.]
[Back then, you were just a lowly Golden Core cultivator. With a single sentence, they suppressed the case, leaving you no choice but to comply.]
[Now that everyone is at the Spirit Transformation, it's time for this young comrade to settle some old scores.]
[Options pop up.]
[A: Donning the Formless Myriad-Breath Cloak, I quietly infiltrated the Thousand Mechanisms Sect, first probing the Main Peak to investigate Gongshu Ke's strength.]
[B: He unleashed Star River Myriad Blades and shouted from mid-air, "Listen up, you bastards of the Thousand Mechanisms Sect! Your supreme emperor has returned!"]
[C: You pull out 100,000 leaflets and scatter them at the Mountain Gate, each bearing the title "On the Job Substitution Crisis of Mechanical Automation for Traditional Artifact Refiners," and call on all the lower-ranking disciples of the sect to immediately go on strike and accompany you to the Main Peak to demand high-temperature subsidies and workers' compensation from Gongshu Ke!]
