After everyone left.

The hall seemed particularly quiet.

After a long while.

Lu Changsheng looked at Qingyun Daoist.

The latter was still seriously pondering some other matters. After Lu Changsheng turned his gaze over, Qingyun Daoist finally came back to his senses and looked at Lu Changsheng.

"Disciple, your master knows that you are low-key, with a stable personality, and don't fight or snatch. But this matter is also a good thing for the Daoist sect. In addition, they are too enthusiastic to refuse, so your master has no choice but to let you work hard and travel down the mountain."

Qingyun Daoist said calmly.

"Master, it's fine if others don't know my realm, but are you also joining in on the fun?"

Lu Changsheng really wanted to cry but had no tears.

Going down the mountain wasn't impossible.

But Lu Changsheng's idea was to stay in the sect for a few hundred years. Anyway, any random old Daoist in the cultivation world was thousands of years old. So, wouldn't it be great to wait until his strength was strong before going down the mountain to travel (show off)?

Being suddenly told to go down the mountain like this, Lu Changsheng couldn't handle it.

However, Lu Changsheng's remarks, in Qingyun Daoist's eyes, were just excuses.

"Changsheng, on this point, your master must criticize you a bit. Being cautious and prudent is a good thing, but you can't be too cautious in everything, otherwise it will be difficult to build confidence."

"Moreover, you are the Eldest Senior Brother of my Great Luo Holy Land, the current Literary Saint, and the teacher of Buddha's Disciple. Whether it is luck or strength, how many people in the world dare to make trouble for you?"

"Even if it is a peerless demon, if they want to touch a hair on your head, they have to weigh their strength. What are you worried about? What are you afraid of?"

Qingyun Daoist said like this.

"Master, I really don't want to go."

Lu Changsheng still didn't want to go. Although what he said sounded nice, who could guarantee that he wouldn't encounter danger when going out?

It sounded so good now, saying that no one dared to touch him.

But when he really encountered danger, Lu Changsheng was afraid that Qingyun Daoist would cry and say, 'An old man sending off a young man.'

"It's impossible not to go now. The matter has already been agreed upon. If you don't go, wouldn't it be a laughing stock?"

Qingyun Daoist said with a firm face.

However, seeing that Lu Changsheng didn't speak, Qingyun Daoist immediately said, "But don't worry, your master will arrange for some elders to be by your side to protect your safety. What do you think?"

That was at least a sensible thing to say.

But Lu Changsheng was still unwilling to go.

But seeing the situation, it was impossible not to go. He could only bite the bullet and go down the mountain.

Sigh.

Life.

How truly capricious.

An hour later.

Lu Changsheng returned to the Main Peak.

His mood was complex, with a feeling akin to a family arranging a wedding.

Inside the main hall, Lu Changsheng seriously pondered how to escape this calamity.

For example, on the day of departure, have diarrhea? Or pretend to have a cold.

But thinking about it, that's unlikely. After all, this is a cultivation sect; even someone terminally ill can be saved, let alone faking illness?

How about self-inflicting a wound?

That's a bit cruel, better not.

Betray the sect?

No, if caught, he'd probably be beaten to death.

Switch the crown prince with a raccoon cat?

Also no, if discovered, he'd still be beaten to death.

How about coming clean? Stop pretending?

Lu Changsheng felt like he had found a solution.

But upon closer thought, if he really came clean, probably no one would believe him.

Ugh, why is it so annoying?

Lu Changsheng, why did you have to be so handsome?

Why?

Why?

Why is it so?

Why are you so handsome but your cultivation is so trash, while those people are so ugly but their cultivation is so good?

Lu Changsheng fell into deep remorse.

He hated.

He hated the people of this world, why are they so superficial.

Is being handsome really that important?

Is being so handsome a reason to be misunderstood?

Who said handsome guys are bound to cultivate well?

Pinching his temples.

Lu Changsheng sighed, he was tired of this superficial world.

He was very distressed and couldn't help but wonder.

Is it that all handsome people are troubled?

Just then.

A knock sounded on the door.

"Enter."

Soon, Liu Qingfeng poked his head in, looking a bit shifty-eyed.

"Eldest Senior Brother! Good news, good news!"

Liu Qingfeng came in excitedly, his face full of joy.

For some reason, he always felt that Liu Qingfeng was a troublemaker, just a kind of inexplicable intuition, but this guy looked harmless.

"What is it?"

Lu Changsheng asked calmly.

"I heard that you are about to be conferred as the Number One Senior Brother of the World's Daoist Sects?"

It must be said that Liu Qingfeng obtained information very quickly, and he already knew about something that had just happened.

"Yes."

Lu Changsheng showed a cold demeanor, but in reality, he was in a very bad mood.

"Eldest Senior Brother is mighty!"

Liu Qingfeng flattered without hesitation.

"Speak quickly if you have something to say."

Lu Changsheng was not in the mood to talk about this matter.

And Liu Qingfeng was already familiar with Lu Changsheng's temperament, so he didn't have any emotions, and still said with a smile on his face: "Senior Brother, the Vigorous Pill you gave me a few days ago is really effective."

Liu Qingfeng talked about the pill.

"It's the Vajra Glazed Pill."

Lu Changsheng reminded him.

"Yes, yes, yes, the Vajra Glazed Pill, we all took one, and found that our strength has increased more than tenfold, the effect is so good, with this pill, we can definitely win the first prize at the Worldly Grand Gathering in a few days."

Liu Qingfeng said this.

"Are there any side effects?"

Talking about the pill, Lu Changsheng perked up a bit.

"Side effects? There really aren't any. If I had to say, it's that our appetite has increased a lot."

Liu Qingfeng said seriously.

Appetite has increased a lot?

This was exactly what Li Chun had said.

Moreover, being able to eat is a blessing, so it's not a side effect.

Very good, very good!

"Then, at what realm does this pill become ineffective?"

Lu Changsheng continued to ask.

"It should be ineffective upon reaching the Nascent Soul Realm. I had several Eldest Senior Brothers in the Nascent Soul Realm try it, and they didn't feel anything."

Liu Qingfeng replied.

"Nascent Soul, huh?" Lu Changsheng thought to himself, then couldn't help but ask, "Why would they eat a pill you randomly offered? Weren't they afraid?"

"Not at all. I directly said that this was a pill you refined, and as soon as they heard that, they scrambled to eat it. Moreover, they all said that this medicine was miraculous. One was even more exaggerated, saying that after eating the pill, he broke through his realm in just a few days."

Liu Qingfeng said very directly.

"Breakthrough in realm? This is a Vajra Glazed Pill, not a realm-breaking pill, so how could it lead to a breakthrough?"

Lu Changsheng was a little surprised.

"Yes, that's what I thought too, but they said that this pill was contaminated with a bit of your immortal energy and contained fragments of Great Dao insights, saying all sorts of confusing things."

Liu Qingfeng replied.

Uh...

Lu Changsheng didn't know what to say.

"Eldest Senior Brother, you don't know, a lot of people have gathered below our Main Peak."

"What are so many people doing there?"

"Absorbing immortal energy, hoping to break through their realms. Some ruthless Eldest Senior Brothers even abandoned their cave dwellings and stayed next to our Main Peak, meditating and cultivating every day. From time to time, someone would say they had an epiphany and then break through their realm."

Liu Qingfeng said this.

"Do you believe it?"

Lu Changsheng didn't know what to say and could only ask this.

"Of course, I don't believe it."

Liu Qingfeng's answer made Lu Changsheng feel a little relieved; at least there was still one normal person.

"Eldest Senior Brother, do you have any other instructions?"

After a while, Liu Qingfeng asked.

"Nothing else." Lu Changsheng was tired, but soon, he spoke again, "I'll be refining pills these days, so stay by my side and watch."

"Okay! This Junior Brother will not refuse."

Liu Qingfeng nodded.

Immediately afterward, he took out a Universe Pouch, then performed a hand seal, and in an instant, all the surrounding air was sucked into the pouch.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Changsheng was a little puzzled.

"Absorbing immortal qi."

Liu Qingfeng said very seriously.

"Don't you not believe it?"

"I don't believe it, how could there be any immortal qi under the Main Peak? The immortal qi is all in this great hall. Eldest Senior Brother, don't worry, I won't take this immortal qi out to sell, I'll just take it home for my own use, rest assured."

Liu Qingfeng said earnestly.

"Get lost!"

At this moment, Lu Changsheng couldn't bear it anymore.
