Li Xiuchang may not be well-known outside, but within the Immortal Dust Sect, he is considered a celebrity.
Most of the Immortal Dust Sect's disciples know him.
So while walking on the road, people would come up to say hello and congratulate him from time to time.
Li Xiuchang is also wondering why the news spread so fast?
It was estimated that half a month had passed since Ascension Stairway reached the summit, and he was not surprised when the news came back to the Immortal Dust Sect.
What surprised him was, why did it feel like everyone knew this news?
After asking, I found out, good guy, it turned out that it was Four Immortals Merchant Association who helped his president to promote it!
After all, what a great advertising opportunity!
Then, Immortal Dust Sect also spread the word within the sect.
It is not difficult to understand that one of his outer disciples broke other records outside, what a shame!
As a result, this matter has become the focus of recent discussions both inside and outside the Immortal Dust Sect, and Li Xiuchang, an outer disciple, has once again become famous.
Li Xiuchang is helpless, as expected, just pretending to be cool will lead to endless troubles.
He should have learned a lesson from Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi!
Later, Immortal Dust Sect's senior management will drag him around asking questions. This is all the trouble of showing off.
Maybe he will be specially recruited to enter the inner gate again!
Li Xiuchang had a headache and did not immediately return to Eastern Geng District. Instead, he went straight to the inner door to find Elder Xu.
You can't hide from troubles, so it's better to solve them first.
Li Xiuchang went straight to Elder Xu's office, and as expected, Elder Xu beamed as soon as he saw him:
"Hey, my great genius Immortal Dust Sect is back!"
"Elder, please stop making fun of me." Li Xiuchang looked helpless.
"I sincerely praise you. You don't know that Ascension Pavilion has sent a congratulatory letter. The appreciation for you is beyond words. As long as I, Immortal Dust Sect, nod, they can recruit you immediately!"
Li Xiuchang immediately expressed his loyalty. "I am Immortal Dust Sect's person in life, and Immortal Dust Sect's ghost in death!"
Elder Xu laughed and joked, "Now there are rumors outside that you are the number one genius of my Immortal Dust Sect younger generation, so Chu Ya must step aside."
"This is trying to flatter me. I was just lucky enough to reach the ninth floor of the Ascension Pavilion."
"Not everyone can get on the ninth floor. Tell me what's going on."
Li Xiuchang had no choice but to repeat the same rhetoric used to fool Ancestor Yuhe.
"That's it." Elder Xu nodded.
Li Xiuchang took the opportunity to change the subject. "Elder, what was the final result of hunting down the remnants of the demonic path?"
After killing Four Great Demonic Sects and Red Demon Sect, the leaders of the Desire Demon Sect and Black Soul Sect finally escaped. At that time, the strong men of Four Great Immortal Sects were still chasing.
Elder Xu shook his head. "Those rats were desperate and fled into the Immortal Shadow. In the end, we had to give up the pursuit."
Four Great Demonic Sects's high-ranking Cultivation Level is not low either. He narrowly escaped death after entering Xian Yin. Therefore, there is no need to let Four Great Immortal Sects's masters take risks in Xian Yin for the sake of those rats.
Giving up the pursuit is reasonable, but it may leave hidden dangers.
After all, death is not certain if you enter Immortal Shadow. It is very likely that there will be remnants of the demonic path that will cause trouble again in the future.
But overall, this operation was very successful, and almost all the demonic forces of the Immortal Shade Realm were wiped out.
What's left are just some small fish and shrimps. Now Four Great Immortal Sects is actively carrying out demon elimination operations to eliminate demons on their territory.
I believe that for a long period of time in the future, the demonic cultivators who are already on their last legs will no longer be able to come out to cause trouble.
Elder Xu sighed and said, "I know that if you cut the grass without eradicating the root, it will grow again with the spring breeze, but there is no way. It is difficult to eradicate the evil cultivator."
Li Xiuchang nodded with deep understanding. It would be fine if Immortal Shade Realm was a closed world, but it connects the upper and lower worlds.
Even if all the demon cultivators in the Immortal Shade Realm are eliminated, there might be a demon cultivator that ascends from the lower realm one day.
Maybe one day there will be Upper Realm's magic cultivation lower realm.
The demonic cultivators ascending from the lower realm are easier to deal with. Upper Realm The demonic cultivators coming down are all big demonic cultivators, and they won't make a huge noise like those who ascended. They can easily lie dormant and form a demonic force silently.
Li Xiuchang also did not forget the purpose of his visit. He unloaded all the treasures on his body and handed them back to Elder Xu.
These treasures were given to him by the sect for self-defense before he went on an undercover mission.
After the mission was completed, the elders were not in a hurry to take back all the treasures because he was going to the Ascension Pavilion.
Li Xiuchang did not return all the treasures, but he chose to keep some of the consumables.
But it wasn't for the sake of Tan Mo's treasures, he no longer looked down upon them.
Mainly to make his statement more reasonable and credible, he said that in Corpse Burial Valley, the magic cultivators consumed part of the self-defense treasures during the riot.
"Elder, I will not return the Illusory Heart Pearl. I will redeem it. The amount of Contribution Points required will be directly deducted from my account."
Li Xiuchang thought that he didn't have much Contribution Points in his account, so he asked again, "The Contribution Points rewarded by this mission should be enough, right?"
"Enough, enough, enough." Elder Xu said continuously, "Not only is it enough, there is still something left."
"That's good."
Li Xiuchang is very happy to have received a Innate Spirit Treasure, so his hard work was not in vain.
The spiritual treasure Illusory Heart Pearl is still with Second Nascent Soul Clone. Second Nascent Soul Clone followed Mo Tu and returned to Eastern Geng District long ago.
As for Xue Qingshan, it had already been sent to the Dark Heaven Realm.
Elder Xu is so easy to talk to, firstly, because he promised Li Xiuchang in advance, and secondly, Li Xiuchang performed so well that even Ascension Pavilion showed a strong intention to poach others.
This gave Elder Xu a sense of crisis. Seeing that Li Xiuchang was about to say goodbye and leave, he still suggested:
"Xiuchang, why don't I transfer you to the inner sect. With your talents and contributions, no one will gossip."
"Elder, you must not do this!"
Li Xiuchang quickly dissuaded him, and he and Elder Xu analyzed the disadvantages of breaking the rules in detail, and then gave up Elder Xu's idea.
After becoming an inner sect disciple, he has to move into the inner sect, and the most important thing is that he will be assigned a "Dao Master" to teach him how to practice.
With Li Xiuchang's current fame and contribution, the person assigned to him must be a Inner Sect Elder.
From then on, even if he had multiple teachers to supervise his practice, he would still have to be called to attend classes from time to time.
However, Elder Xu didn't give up. Before leaving, he told Li Xiuchang: "You should think about it again when you go back. If you want to enter the inner door, come to me."
Li Xiuchang quickly thanked and left.
Enter the inner door?
What's there to get into!
He has become Vice Sect Master in the Magic Dust Sect, and he has no interest in the identity of a mere inner disciple.
If the real Cultivation Level were revealed, he would almost become Inner Sect Elder.
Li Xiuchang flew all the way back to Eastern Geng District. Unexpectedly, everyone except Senior Brother Gui was there, at least there were clones.
Senior Brother Mo stays at the Dark Heaven Realm most of the time, but now he has arranged for a clone to stay at the Immortal Dust Sect for a long time.
Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi originally left a clone in the Immortal Dust Sect, but recently I suddenly heard that Li Xiuchang had become a big hit in the Ascension Pavilion. The main body hurried back and sent the clone to the Dark Heaven Realm.
"Xiuchang, you didn't call me up when we went out to play!" Zhang Wanzhi was heartbroken.
Such a good opportunity to show off, actually allowed Li Xiuchang to get in first.
Li Xiuchang smiled and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, it's not too late to go now."
Zhang Wanzhi had this intention, but was stopped by Chen Changsheng:
"No! Do you want to jump from the first floor to the ninth floor in one leap?"
Being exposed, Zhang Wanzhi said angrily, "So what?"
Chen Changsheng glared. "Xiuchang has attracted a lot of attention this time. If you come again, can we still stay in the Immortal Dust Sect? Why don't we leave as soon as possible."
Lu Yang nodded. "What Lao Chen said makes sense, it is not appropriate for us to act in a high profile now."
Li Xiuchang apologized. "Dear brothers and sisters, I revealed a lot of information in the Ascension Pavilion this time. I'm afraid it will leave traces, so I have to ask you all to help me cover it up."
Zhang Wanzhi's eyes are full of resentment... You don't think about me when you're showing off, but do you think of me when you wipe your butt?
Mo Tu asked, "What's going on?"
Li Xiuchang then gave an overview of his Ascension Stairway process and analyzed:
"Ascension Pavilion There are always people Ascension Stairway, and new knowledge is constantly injected into it, but the new knowledge I contributed is obviously the highest level. In addition, I jumped more than a hundred floors in the last time. When Ascension Pavilion people see those high-level new knowledge, they will naturally think of me."
Chen Changsheng asked thoughtfully, "What do you want us to do?"
Li Xiuchang already had an idea and said:
"Muddy the water, draw more people to Ascension Stairway, and contribute more new knowledge to the Ascension Pavilion. Naturally, they will not be able to judge the source of each knowledge."
As soon as Li Xiuchang finished speaking, Zhang Wanzhi echoed, "What a great idea! I'll be the first to go!"
"No!"
Except for Li Xiuchang, everyone else unanimously rejected Zhang Wanzhi's proposal.
The minority obeyed the majority, and Zhang Wanzhi's face fell when he saw that everyone was against him.
Chen Changsheng thought for a while and said, "You can go, but you have to hide your identity."
Hidden identity?
Zhang Wanzhi frowned, hiding his identity, and the feeling of pretending to be cool was reduced by at least 70%.
But it suddenly occurred to him that this identity was also fake now, and it didn't matter anymore.
"Okay, it's just a matter of hiding your identity." Zhang Wanzhi agreed.
"Besides, you can't be the first to go, it's best to go last." Chen Changsheng made another request.
"Why?" Zhang Wanzhi was dissatisfied.
"You're definitely going to make a big splash! You're the first to go, and it's probably inconvenient for everyone else to go."
In the end, the brothers and sisters quickly agreed on a plan in a few words.
To them, this is nothing more than a trivial matter.
Among the neighboring brothers and sisters, only Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi volunteered to go to Ascension Stairway, and the others would not go in person.
But they also used their personal connections to arrange for others to go to Ascension Stairway.
When it comes to personal connections, the accumulation of tens of thousands of years by several senior brothers and sisters is certainly not bad.
So in the next period of time, people went to the Ascension Pavilion one after another to challenge Ascension Stairway.
The first one to arrive was Ye Yuqiu who accompanied Chu Ya on the trip.
When such a powerful person comes to visit, Ascension Pavilion will definitely treat him with utmost hospitality, and Grand Elder will welcome him personally.
For Ye Yuqiu to challenge Ascension Stairway, naturally he would not refuse.
Ascension Pavilion's library has always been relatively open.
Anyone who has an identity or a strong background, as long as they are not a demon or an enemy, is basically welcome to come to Ascension Stairway.
For one thing, even the knowledge acquired by outsiders from the library cannot be passed on to others.
Secondly, more foreign experts will participate and contribute more new knowledge, making Ascension Pavilion more powerful.
In the end, Ye Yuqiu easily climbed to the ninth floor and also contributed a lot of new knowledge.
Chu Ya also tried it, and climbed to the eighth floor with Spirit Transformation Cultivation Level! Also contributed some new knowledge.
As a result, Chu Ya's performance on the eighth level was not bad, but it was much inferior to Li Xiuchang.
This further solidifies the rumors that Immortal Dust Sect is a genius in the outer sect.
In fact, at this point, it is enough to cover up the knowledge contributed by Li Xiuchang, and all high-end knowledge can be pushed to Ye Yuqiu.
But the neighbor brothers and sisters obviously have more preparations.
Not long after, two eminent Buddhist monks, Fakong and Fahua, came to visit. They claimed to be ascetics who traveled all over the world. Recently, they heard about the name Ascension Pavilion Ascension Stairway, so they came here to challenge.
These two masters are serious Buddhist Cultivator. Apart from smoking cigarettes, they look a bit social, but Cultivation Level and the light of merit he possesses are real.
Ascension Pavilion also has the intention of making good friends, so it is impossible to refuse.
As a result, these two masters also reached the ninth level.
The appearance of the two masters caused a sensation throughout the Immortal Shade Realm. Four Great Immortal Sects rushed to invite them to their homes, hoping to learn more about other worlds from their mouths.
However, the two masters did not stay long and soon left Immortal Shade Realm from the passage.
In the next few months, people came to challenge Ascension Stairway one after another. Ascension Pavilion only thought it was Li Xiuchang who climbed to the ninth floor, spreading Ascension Stairway's fame and popularity, attracting more and more challengers, and didn't think much about it.
In fact, there is actually this factor involved.
From Li Xiuchang, to Ye Yuqiu and Fakong Fahua, several people climbed to the top one after another, which indeed attracted a lot of people's attention, and naturally many people wanted to try it.
This is a good opportunity to become famous and profit. As long as you can reach the top, you will gain both fame and fortune!
Therefore, among the people who came to challenge later, only a small number were arranged by the neighboring brothers and sisters, and most of them were attracted spontaneously.
Of course, Ascension Pavilion is not given a chance by everyone.
Among the people who come to Ascension Stairway, there are those who are advanced in Cultivation Level and have extraordinary status, and there are also many who are nothing at all.
Many people are trying their luck. Anyway, even if they fail in the challenge, there is no loss. Even if they only go to the second floor, there are still a lot of books Jade Slip to read.
There are even many Talisman masters who form teams and want to try their luck there.
In the end, Ascension Pavilion had to raise the bar. Either he had a high Cultivation Level, or he had high-level skills, or his identity and background were strong enough, otherwise he would not be qualified to challenge Ascension Stairway.
Ascension Pavilion was very lively there, and Li Xiuchang caused a Ascension Stairway craze.
Li Xiuchang himself is quietly nesting in Eastern Geng District, practicing in seclusion.
In the past two months, he practiced the "Charcoal Burning Skill" Void Refining chapter, and Cultivation Level smoothly broke through to the middle stage of Void Refining.
Now, Body Cultivator is one step behind, still in the early stage of Sixth Tier.
However, he has never stopped smoking and refining his internal organs. Now he has exceeded the limit of refining his internal organs. He can spit out a blow comparable to Low-grade Spirit Treasure!
Li Xiuchang In this retreat, Cultivation Level's improvement is only secondary. The main energy is spent on digesting the knowledge gained from the Ascension Pavilion.
Even his two clones practice and comprehend together with the main body whenever they have free time.
A lot of technical insights and experiences, through "Anointing" Li Xiuchang can only understand 40 to 60% of it, and about half of the knowledge remains in the mind, which can be digested through one's own understanding.
Of course, this cannot be digested overnight and requires time to accumulate.
This retreat he focused on consolidating.
After leaving seclusion, his various skills were finally stabilized.
Spirit Plant Cultivation Arts has made great improvements and has taken a big step forward!
If there is proficiency, it should be just halfway through Sixth Tier, and there is still a long way to go before Seventh Tier.
The weapon refining skills have also reached Sixth Tier.
The four skills of spirit chef, soul control, talisman, and formation have all broken through to the fifth level!
The skill of immortal brewing is close to the fifth level.
There is only little improvement in the two skills of alchemy and corpse removal.
The Length Value brought about by such a huge improvement is naturally amazing.
The total length brought more than 3,400 inches!
Among them, Spirit Plant and the improvement of weapon refining skills provide a length of more than two thousand inches.
In addition to the original remaining length of more than 1,200 inches of Li Xiuchang, his total number of Length Value has now reached 4,700!
"4700 inches in length! Another new high!"
"With so much length, it seems that it can only be used by adding some second Dantian space, or Vajra Dharma Image."
"Not necessarily..."
Li Xiuchang thought that with his current level of understanding of the Dao, he could already try to use the Dao to cast a golden body, thereby improving his alchemy Body Cultivator.
However, I have never tried it, so I am not sure whether Length Cheat will be useful in this process.
In addition, after he enters the body-refining Seventh Tier, he can temper his body from the source. Then maybe Length Cheat will be useful.
Therefore Length Value don't rush to use them all, keep some as backup, they may be useful in the future.
Li Xiuchang's face moved slightly, and he suddenly took out Identity Token. It turned out to be Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi who had transmitted the message to him.
"Xiu Chang, I'm going to the Ascension Pavilion Ascension Stairway. Do you want to go with me?"
Li Xiuchang thought about it and realized that all his skills have improved now, and there are still more than 8,000 Anointing opportunities left, so he can indeed follow him.
Some Experience and Insights things that he might not have been able to comprehend before became comprehensible as his skill level improved.
For example, if his skills such as spiritual cooking have reached the fifth level, he can also try the related skills and knowledge of the eighth level.
As for the two skills of Spirit Plant and weapon refining, you can even try to gain some knowledge of the ninth level.
He originally planned to stay in the Ascension Pavilion for a period of time and then continue Anointing, but he came back early in order to let his senior brothers help him cover up his traces.
So I happily agreed.
It's just that when the two of them arrived at the Ascension Pavilion, they had to pretend they didn't know each other. Zhang Wanzhi had to pretend to be another identity to challenge Ascension Stairway.
Li Xiuchang followed Zhang Wanzhi to leave Immortal Dust Sect and boarded Zhang Wanzhi's flying palace. It didn't take long to arrive near the Ascension Pavilion.
"You go in first, I will challenge you later." Zhang Wanzhi said.
Li Xiuchang nodded, entered Ascension Pavilion, flew straight from the passage of the library to the eighth floor, and began to browse various technical books.
It can be clearly felt that Ascension Pavilion is much more lively this time.
Recently, people have frequently challenged Ascension Stairway, and many have reached the top, thus attracting many spectators.
Although there are waves of challengers, no one can cover up the light of Li Xiuchang.
After all, it is not surprising that those Cultivation Level unfathomable powers can reach the ninth level.
It is far less shocking than Li Xiuchang, a little monk who looks like Foundation Establishment Realm, reaching the top.
And no one has ever been able to replicate Li Xiuchang's feat of jumping over 100 levels.
Li Xiuchang concentrates on wandering around the eighth and ninth floors, looking for all kinds of knowledge that suits him, and Anointing.
The next day came in a blink of an eye...
He heard a sudden commotion below, and his heart moved slightly, guessing that Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi might be coming!
"I wonder what kind of identity Senior Brother Zhang is using this time?"
Li Xiuchang curiously flew down to take a look, only to see a young man with outstanding temperament and extraordinary appearance being stopped outside the gate of the Ascension Pavilion.
Li Xiuchang's eyesight went dark, because this young man's Cultivation Level was actually only Qi Condensation Stage!
Senior Brother Zhang, don't be too outrageous!
