Since it's a celebration, singing and dancing are naturally indispensable.
Night deepened, and the moonlight shone like water.
High up in the building, as the music gradually subsided and the guests toasted each other, a clear and melodious sound of jade chimes suddenly drifted from the sky.
Following the sound, everyone looked and saw twenty-four rainbow lights flying in from all directions, trailing long red lights, landing on the white jade square in front of the tall building, transforming into twenty-four Jade Spring disciples, both men and women, with jade rings around their waists and spirit flowers in their hair, all dressed in moon-white wide-sleeved fairy dresses and crane cloaks with flowing cloud and water patterns.
The disciples lined up in two rows, bowed to the distinguished guests from all directions, and then dispersed to stand in their respective positions.
On a higher jade platform not far away, the sound of a xiao (vertical bamboo flute) gradually rose, followed by the accompaniment of instruments such as the pipa (lute).
Bathed in the soft moonlight, the twenty-four disciples also began to move.
Their movements were slow and graceful, like flowing clouds and water, or willow catkins blowing in the wind. They had a gentle and graceful feel, as well as a sense of meandering water. There was not a trace of vulgarity, but rather an extraordinary passion and moving feeling, which had a kind of feeling of gently seeping into the heart.
Rays of light drifted from their fingertips, cuffs, and hems, transforming into fireflies in the moonlight, dancing around them and gradually merging into flowing paintings—mountains and waters, a bright moon and immortals, lifelike and breathtakingly beautiful.
The guests were so captivated that they forgot to drink their wine and eat the fruit on the table.
While the guests were watching the dance, Chen Shuangbai had already returned to the high building. True Lord Qingchen beckoned him to his side, his eyebrows curved, making him look exceptionally handsome. Then he took out something and handed it to him.
Chen Shuangbai looked closely and was slightly surprised.
It was a gold and jade ring.
"This item is called the [ Azure Sea Hanging Rainbow Dragon-Binding Ring ], High-Grade Law Treasure. It was crafted for me by my master. It was quite useful in my early years, but I haven't used it much since I achieved the Nascent Soul."
"Now that you have achieved the Golden Core, the sect cannot leave you with nothing. Therefore, we bestow upon you this [ Azure Sea Hanging Rainbow Dragon-Binding Ring ] for your self-defense."
Chen Shuangbai took the gold and jade ring and felt a slight weight in her hand, not in terms of physical weight, but in terms of a profound aura.
This ring of gold and jade is made of green jade and inlaid with gold wire patterns. The gold and jade intertwine and flow with light, as if tiny golden dragons are swimming in the Azure Wave.
On the inner side of the ring, there is a line of tiny seal script. "Azure sea hangs with rainbow, binds dragon and suppresses mountain". These eight characters reveal the philosophy of the person who created this Law Treasure, as well as the depth of their Divine Ability abilities.
Chen Shuangbai only performed a rough refinement, and the golden jade ring hummed, its golden threads suddenly lighting up and transforming into golden halos that spread out in layers before instantly receding back to normal, automatically encircling his left hand.
"What a wonderful Law Treasure!"
Chen Shuangbai couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Seeing the joy on his face, and noticing that True Lord Qingchen had already glanced around at the guests, he smiled slightly and said, "This ring has been with me for many years and has suppressed many Outer Dao in my hands."
"Now that it is in your hands, I hope you will use it well and not disgrace its reputation."
Chen Shuangbai naturally agreed.
Among the guests, especially those Golden Core True Person, their expressions changed slightly.
Law Treasure are not as easy to forge as Law Artifact and Spirit Artifact. Not only do you need to find suitable and rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but you also need sufficient skills and supernatural Divine Ability to forge a satisfactory magical Law Treasure.
Given the vast and powerful Jade Spring Sect, it's not surprising that they would bestow upon him a Law Treasure.
However, the fact that he used High-Grade Law Treasure right off the bat... coupled with Chen Shuangbai, True Person at the Early Golden Core Stage, was considered by many to be a waste of talent and a great waste.
True Lord Qingchen could see their meaning and knew that many of the guests invited this time were also people who couldn't stand seeing others do well, so he didn't care. Instead, he said, "Now that you have achieved the Golden Core stage and hold the position of Dao Child, it is time to give you a Daoist title."
"Today, I invite all of you distinguished guests to witness this."
The guests naturally agreed, putting down their jade cups and looking at True Lord Qingchen.
True Lord Qingchen's captivating peach blossom eyes chuckled, a deep smile playing on his lips. His multicolored pupils shone brightly as they fell upon Chen Shuangbai, and he said with a smile, "Let's call him [ Xuhong ]."
" Xuhong?"
As Chen Shuangbai repeated these two words, a realization gradually dawned on her.
Among the guests present, Yuanying True Monarch Zhen Yuweng stroked his beard and praised, " means jade light, which is the elegant name of beautiful jade, and the word "hong"... the water is deep and clear, so it is called "hong".
He looked at True Lord Qingchen and commented with a smile, "His jade-like light shines deep within, so clear that one can see to the bottom, which is a metaphor for his pure and clear Dao heart."
"That's a good Daoist name!"
The other Golden Core True Person also praised him, saying that True Lord Qingchen was unparalleled in elegance.
Chen Shuangbai, however, noticed his True Lord winking and making faces, and roughly understood what he meant.
"The jade-like light floating in the Pure Water... isn't this the radiance of the Grand Yin reflected in the water?"
The True Lord truly understands himself!
Once the Daoist name has been chosen, one will use that name when traveling in the future.
Immediately, Golden Core True Person raised his jade cup and congratulated Chen Shuangbai, saying, "I am here to congratulate True Person Xuhong Soul stage within reach and the Nascent Soul Spirit Transformation stage within expectation!"
Chen Shuangbai responded to each of them.
After receiving his Daoist name, True Lord Qingchen urged Chen Shuangbai to have the Jade Spring Dao Child greet the guests.
Chen Shuangbai smiled, bowed respectfully, turned and walked out of the high-rise building, returning to the brightly lit, joyful atmosphere.
As dawn broke.
The guests gradually dispersed.
Chen Shuangbai stood outside the high-rise building, watching the last guest ride away on a white crane. The smile that had been on her face the whole time finally faded, and she thought to herself that her smile had now completely dried up.
True Lord Qingchen had already slipped away, leaving behind only a mess, which was naturally cleaned up by the people of the Expenditure Hall.
Now that Chen Shuangbai is Golden Core True Person, he naturally has responsibilities to shoulder.
After finishing his important duties within the sect, he returned to the Myriad Phenomena Hall and went directly to a side hall, intending to find the sect leader True Lord Qingchen, to ask if there was any way to treat Wei Zheng's injuries.
True Lord Qingchen was not on that soft couch, but he seemed to have expected it, leaving behind a note.
It says above, "Far away, yet right before your eyes."
Chen Shuangbai thought for a moment and then realized what was going on. He couldn't help but slap his forehead and chuckle, thinking to himself, "I almost forgot, I'm Golden Core True Person now."
He carefully placed the note, wrote a thank you note on it, and then turned and went to Mystic Pool Peak.
Chen Shuangbai is a person who clearly distinguishes between right and wrong, and also someone who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment.
Wei Zheng's burning punch back then saved him. Chen Shuangbai Chen Shuangbai powerless when he was in the Foundation Establishment stage, but now that he is Golden Core True Person... he has to give it a try.
