The Gift of the Nine Dragons Array

The Grand Elder ignored him.

After leading Tang Yu along the spirit path of the mausoleum for a while, the two stopped in front of an ancient statue.

The statue depicts Zhang Zhong, the owner of the tomb.

The statue's features are already somewhat blurred, and it is clear that it cannot withstand the passage of hundreds of years.

In front of the statue was an offering table with some offerings and an incense burner.

A stick of "Heart-Questioning Incense sat beside the incense burner, making Tang Yu want to snatch it away.

The elder pointed to the prayer cushion under the offering table.

"Light three sticks of ' Heart-Questioning Incense,' kneel on the prayer mat and bow three times. Then Heart-Questioning Incense sticks into the incense burner. If the Heart-Questioning Incense show no abnormalities, from this day forward you will be an elder of the Nine Heavens Alliance."

Tang Yu nodded, knowing this was yet another review.

However, he didn't care. He had no bad intentions. After lighting three sticks of Heart-Questioning Incense, he began the process.

After the three incense sticks were placed into the incense burner, the Grand Elder stared intently at the Heart-Questioning Incense.

After confirming that there was nothing amiss, he nodded slightly and a smile appeared on his face.

If someone with malicious intentions tries to become an elder, they will inevitably fail this test.

"Then what?"

After completing the procedures, Tang Yu reached into his pants and asked...

I suddenly feel a bit itchy, I don't know if it's because I was bitten by mosquitoes last night. I'll ask my master to help me scratch it when I get home tonight.

Seeing this guy's actions, the Grand Elder was speechless and said, "Sit on the futon and meditate until three incense sticks have burned out before getting up."

"Good."

Tang Yu then sat cross-legged on the futon and began to cultivate.

After he sat down, the smoke from the three sticks of Heart-Questioning Incense that had been burning began to drift downwards and swirl around Tang Yu.

Tang Yu clearly felt a continuous flow of true energy surging into his body, causing his cultivation to improve rapidly by leaps and bounds.

The Grand Elder stood silently to the side, his hands behind his back.

Once the promotion ceremony is completed, one gains the approval of the Nine Dragons Array.

Then the Nine Dragons Array will give a gift, something every elder has experienced.

Unfortunately, this gift can only be received once, but it is enough to prove the power of the Nine Dragons Array.

It's astonishing that a formation from hundreds of years ago could have such an effect.

It even protects the entire Nine Heavens Alliance.

Why are there so many experts in the Nine Heavens Alliance? It's because the training here is exceptionally effective.

Ye Feilong's attempt to seize control of the Nine Dragons Array was also related to accepting this gift.

This person later studied the Nine Dragons Array extensively and must have discovered some secrets unknown to them.

Recalling the events of that year, a hint of hatred inevitably surfaced in the Grand Elder's eyes.

Tang Yu was focused on enjoying the gifts of the Nine Dragons Array.

After the three incense sticks had burned out, he was summoned by the Grand Elder.

How are you feeling?

The Grand Elder asked with a smile.

"Can we do it again?"

"Roll!"

Seeing that the Grand Elder kindly refused him, Tang Yu chuckled and realized he had been overthinking things.

That gift just now saved him at least four or five years of arduous practice.

If a Ancient Martial Artist at the Yellow Realm received such a gift, they could easily break through to the Heaven Realm in one go.

"By the way, Elder, where is the Nine Dragons Array? Could you please show it to me?"

Tang Yu looked around curiously.

Unfortunately, the tomb was surrounded by darkness, except for the eternal lamps lit along the sacred path where they were.

"We're on the outer layer of the tomb now. To see the Nine Dragons Array, we need to go to the inner layer, but forget about it. No one but your master can get in. Get out of here."

The elder gave a cold laugh and then ordered them to leave.

The Nine Dragons Array is extremely important to the Qiu Family. The tomb-guarding elder is in charge of the outer layer, but to enter the inner layer, one must obtain the Holy Maiden's permission.

So even he can't just enter casually, how could this kid possibly want to broaden his horizons?

Tang Yu could only follow behind the Grand Elder as they left.

After the two left, the elder guarding the tomb closed the door again and continued to doze off at the entrance.

Along the way, the Grand Elder also talked to Tang Yu about some things to keep in mind after becoming an elder.

The message subtly reminded Tang Yu to stop trying to extort money from inner disciples.

Shameful!

"Considering that you've just become an elder and are still young with limited experience, it's not really appropriate for you to teach outer disciples. You'll be better off doing some simple chores for now."

"This month, you'll be in charge of patrolling places like Clear Moon Pool. Recently, some disciples have been secretly going to these places to cultivate. Go now."

After talking with Tang Yu, the First Elder waved his hand and dumped a bunch of chores that the other elders were unwilling to do onto Tang Yu.

Tang Yu's face darkened; she knew this old man was making things difficult for her. She thought to herself, "I'll take it out on your granddaughter later."

After giving a perfunctory reply, Tang Yu obediently went to carry out the mission.

While the disciples can have some leisure time each day, the elders are not so fortunate.

But in order to convince my master to allow me to engage in dual cultivation with a clear conscience, etc.

Tang Yu felt that it wasn't a bad thing to be a little busy, since she was only busy for a short while each day anyway.

Clear Moon Pool is located on a mountain in the outer forest. It is a natural pool shaped like a crescent moon.

On the night of the full moon, the moonlight shines into the pool, and Clear Moon Pool transforms into a moon reflected in the water, echoing the bright moon in the sky.

In the words of the elders of the Nine Heavens Alliance, this place is rich in spiritual energy and absorbs the essence of the sun and moon, making it an excellent place for cultivation.

In fact, Clear Moon Tan does indeed have the effect of increasing cultivation speed.

However, when many people use it, its effect becomes quite insignificant.

Therefore, the elders will seal off these places, and the cultivation effect will be much better after they are reopened in a few years.

After Tang Yu leisurely arrived at Clear Moon Pool, he didn't see any disciples cultivating there.

He squatted down by the pool and washed his hands.

The water in Clear Moon Pool is crystal clear.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, this kind of pool water, which is imbued with spiritual energy, is considered top-grade celestial water, and its medicinal effects are excellent when used for decoctions.

It's also a good choice for making tea.

Just as Tang Yu was pondering whether she should find some containers to take back and brew tea for her master.

Footsteps and laughter echoed from the foot of the mountain.

After hearing these laughter and joking sounds.

Tang Yu frowned and retreated behind the crowd... no, she twitched her ears slightly and chose to jump onto a large tree by the pool to hide herself.

Yes, to catch a disciple committing a crime, you need to catch them in the act!

After waiting patiently for a few minutes, several pretty female disciples came running over, laughing and joking.

"Oh dear, it's been so long since I've been to Clear Moon!"

"Last time, my Guoguo and I came here in the middle of the night. The moon was beautiful that night, and the scenery here was absolutely stunning."

"I've heard that the water from Clear Moon has great beauty benefits, and it can even help with weight loss?"

"Forget about losing weight, I'll just lose weight through more exercise. But this water is definitely good for my skin."

After chatting and laughing for a few minutes, the female disciples began to undress and take a bath.

Before entering the water, they were quite cautious and made a point of checking their surroundings to see if anyone was there.

After confirming that it was safe, the girls happily began to take off their clothes.

"Oh my, Pear Blossom, you've grown so much! I'm so envious!"

"It's just a burden, what's there to envy? It's such a hassle to practice with."

"Xiaoxue's legs are so long! I wish I had legs like that."

The women complimented each other while stripping completely naked.

Just as they finished undressing and were about to go into the water to play and swim...

Tang Yu emerged from behind a tree and shouted, "What are you doing? Don't you know swimming is strictly prohibited in Clear Moon Pool?"

His loud shout startled several female disciples, causing several mountain peaks to tremble and making Tang Yu's heart flutter.

You might as well watch it!
