The Day of the Appointment, Jie Sect Gathers

Golden Ao Island.

It was once again the day for the Jie Sect's resource distribution, held once every hundred years.

Three streams of light streaked across the sky, arriving at Golden Ao Island.

It was the Sanxiao, who had rushed over from Three Immortal Island.

"Wow, Eldest Sister, Second Sister, why are so many people here this time?"

Bixiao looked around, her face full of astonishment.

While it was also a resource distribution day, this time was far more lively than any previous occasion.

At this moment, Golden Ao Island was overcrowded, with countless people.

If previously, about sixty percent of Jie Sect disciples came to collect resources, then this time, as many as eighty percent had come.

The disciples collecting resources had already formed queues stretching out onto the sea beyond Golden Ao Island.

Qiongxiao smiled.

"This is quite normal. Have you forgotten what Master said last time?"

Bixiao paused for a moment, then immediately remembered.

"You mean the cultivation resources for those below Golden Immortal are doubled, those who progress rapidly can receive Master's guidance, and the Jie Chan Discuss Dao event?"

Qiongxiao nodded slightly.

When this news spread throughout the Jie Sect, it could be said that the entire sect exploded.

This was a consequence of the Jie Sect's recruitment method.

The Jie Sect's open-door policy had both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage was that as long as one's heart was set on the Jie Sect, they could become a disciple.

But there were also many disadvantages.

With too many Jie Sect disciples, the "value" of a Jie Sect disciple was far inferior to that of a Chan Sect disciple, even though both were orthodox sects of Saints.

Furthermore, it was very difficult for disciples who joined later to achieve prominence.

Although the Jie Sect was known as the gathering place of ten thousand immortals, besides Duobao, Wuyunxian, Jinling Shengmu, Sanxiao, Zhao Gongming, and a few others who joined the Jie Sect early, were there any other Jie Sect disciples known to the Honghuang?

Even the status of the Suishi Qixian was above that of the vast majority of Jie Sect disciples.

However, those pieces of news gave many Jie Sect disciples a chance to turn their fortunes around.

By taking advantage of the doubled cultivation resources in these few instances, they could strive to improve themselves, and perhaps the Sect Leader would notice them?

Receiving a word of guidance from a Saint was worth more than countless years of arduous cultivation.

If they could also represent the Jie Sect in the Jie Chan Discuss Dao event, then their future would truly be promising.

But Bixiao immediately noticed something.

"I can understand why those below Golden Immortal are here to collect cultivation resources."

"Then why are those above Golden Immortal, like Qiu Shou Xian, here?"

Qiongxiao looked at Bixiao.

"They are here for the same reason you are."

"You mean the duel between Lu Changsheng and Dingguang Xian?"

Bixiao asked instinctively.

"That's right. Little Sister, don't underestimate this battle. It's not as simple as a mere duel between Jie Sect disciples."

Qiongxiao explained patiently.

Although Lu Changsheng's cultivation was not high, he represented the majority of Jie Sect disciples.

And Dingguang Xian was one of the Suishi Qixian, a person close to the Sect Leader.

It was known that since Dingguang Xian took charge of resource distribution, he had embezzled countless cultivation resources.

Not a small number of Jie Sect disciples had suffered losses because of him.

However, those with lower cultivation than him could not defeat him, and those with higher cultivation were deterred by his status as one of the Suishi Qixian.

Therefore, most of those who had suffered losses in the past chose to swallow their anger.

Now that they heard Lu Changsheng was going to fight Dingguang Xian, they naturally wanted to witness it.

This was not just a duel between Lu Changsheng and Dingguang Xian, but also a struggle between the ordinary disciples of the Jie Sect and the Suishi Qixian.

Perhaps Lu Changsheng's cultivation was inferior to Dingguang Xian's.

But this time, Yunxiao stood behind Lu Changsheng.

What if Lu Changsheng won?

Many Jie Sect disciples, after collecting their resources, did not leave in a hurry but waited to watch this battle.

"Eldest Sister, do you think Lu Changsheng can win?"

Bixiao turned to look at Yunxiao.

At this moment, Yunxiao was looking around, trying to find that familiar figure, and didn't notice what Bixiao said at all.

Seeing Yunxiao remain silent, Bixiao stepped in front of her, put her hands on her hips, and said indignantly.

"Eldest Sister, are you even listening to me?!"

Before Yunxiao could speak, a black tiger descended from the dome, treading on clouds.

A figure leaped from the black tiger and walked towards the Sanxiao sisters.

It was Zhao Gongming.

"Brother, you're here!"

"I've already broken through to Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, pretty impressive, right?"

Bixiao immediately looked at Zhao Gongming and said proudly.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Gongming glanced at Bixiao and said indifferently.

"With your roots, you should have achieved Primordial Unity Golden Immortal long ago."

"If you weren't so unfocused, you wouldn't be the last among us to break through."

Bixiao's face fell. She thought she would be praised, but this was the result.

Zhao Gongming then turned to Yunxiao and suddenly noticed something.

"This golden hairpin of yours?"

Yunxiao's previous hairpin had not been changed for thousands of years.

Furthermore, the Golden Flood Dragon Hairpin, as a Houtian Lingbao, was indeed quite eye-catching.

"I know, I know! Eldest Sister changed this hairpin before, and it's a Houtian Lingbao too."

"Eldest Sister treasures it dearly. She wouldn't even let me look at it last time."

Bixiao chimed in.

"No one would think you're mute if you didn't speak."

Yunxiao rebuked her.

"I wore the previous hairpin for too long, so I decided to change it."

Qiongxiao, standing beside them, was full of doubt.

She spent most of her time with Yunxiao, so how come she didn't know Yunxiao had such a hairpin?

Zhao Gongming didn't dwell on the hairpin and instead asked.

"I heard you vouched for Lu Changsheng in his battle against Dingguangxian."

"That was well done. Chang'er Dingguangxian's actions were indeed improper."

"Did you give Lu Changsheng any methods?"

Bixiao, standing nearby, answered again.

"I know!"

"Earlier, when Lu Changsheng came to Three Immortal Island, Eldest Sister taught him Shangqing Divine Thunder."

Qiongxiao was stunned.

So Lu Changsheng had visited Three Immortal Island? It seemed she was in Secluded Cultivation at the time and didn't notice.

Zhao Gongming pressed further.

"Anything else?"

It couldn't be just Shangqing Divine Thunder, could it?

"No."

Yunxiao's answer was extremely brief.

Zhao Gongming's mouth twitched slightly.

The methods he was referring to were those that could genuinely increase Lu Changsheng's strength and allow him to defeat Dingguangxian.

What was Shangqing Divine Thunder?

Not to mention that Shangqing Divine Thunder was not a profound divine ability within the Jie Sect.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng had only a hundred years at most. Even if he mastered Shangqing Divine Thunder, to what extent could he cultivate it?

"Then do you think Lu Changsheng can win?"

Zhao Gongming asked the same question.

If Lu Changsheng won, it would be easy to handle.

But if Lu Changsheng lost, Yunxiao would also be affected to some extent.

"He can."

Yunxiao pondered for a moment.

Generally speaking, a Mysterious Immortal couldn't defeat a Golden Immortal.

But for some reason, she inexplicably believed in Lu Changsheng.

"Win me?"

"We don't even know where Lu Changsheng is yet."

Dingguang Xian walked over from a distance with a mocking expression.

"Yunxiao, I've already distributed all the cultivation resources, and Lu Changsheng still hasn't arrived."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dingguang Xian sensed a chill attacking from the side.

The moment he turned, he met Black Tiger's cold gaze.

Zhao Gongming said sternly.

"Dingguang Xian, you'd best watch your attitude."

"Otherwise, I don't mind teaching you a lesson with my Iron Whip."

He didn't care about the Suishi Qixian or not.

He only saw Dingguang Xian, a Golden Immortal, showing no respect to Yunxiao.

Who gave Dingguang Xian the courage?

"You…"

Although Dingguang Xian was displeased, he didn't dare to say more.

If they really fought, he couldn't defeat Zhao Gongming.

Dingguang Xian could only look at Yunxiao and say seriously.

"Lu Changsheng is late. Is he afraid of losing and doesn't dare to come?"

Yunxiao said coldly.

"The day isn't over yet, why the rush?"

Dingguang Xian chuckled.

"The day isn't over, but there isn't much time left. You can't expect me to wait for him all day for nothing."

"How about this, I'll wait for another hour. If Lu Changsheng still hasn't arrived after an hour, he'll be considered defeated."

This time, before Yunxiao could speak, a hearty voice came from outside Golden Ao Island.

"What, Dingguang Xian, are you that afraid of a battle with me?"

Countless gazes followed the direction of the voice.

Lu Changsheng had arrived!
