Taking an Oath, a Deep Grudge
The one who opened the door was one of Ding Qifeng's disciples.
Li Yunjing remembered that the alchemist's name was Bai Chenfeng.
Li Yunjing asked Bai Chenfeng to tell Ding Qifeng Ding Qifeng to go to the Oath Hall.
After Bai Chenfeng agreed, Li Yunjing left Pill Affinity Abode.
Gu Lin is next.
Before Li Yunjing could leave Luozhen Sect on his own,
Gu Lin then arrived outside the Serene Valley.
The mountain gate sent a warning message to Li Yunjing.
Li Yunjing then learned of Gu Lin's arrival.
He went to greet Gu Lin in person.
Add Gu Lin to the whitelist while you're at it.
From then on, Gu Lin would no longer be stopped by the sect gates when he came to the Luozhen Sect.
Gu Lin followed Li Yunjing into the Serene Valley.
He walked while looking left and right.
"I didn't expect the environment here to be so nice," Gu Lin said.
This was Gu Lin's first visit to the Luozhen Sect.
However, they discovered that the Luozhen Sect was not at all like what was rumored outside.
Rumors really do have a harmful effect.
Li Yunjing smiled and said, "Elder Gu, you are welcome to the Luozhen Sect more often in the future. Luozhen Sect has prepared cave abode for Elder Gu."
Since they were all elders, Li Yunjing naturally couldn't show favoritism to one over the other.
Gu Lin also has his own elder's cave abode.
Gu Lin nodded with a smile.
After a moment of contemplation, Li Yunjing said:
Elder Gu, there is something I need to tell you.
Not long ago, the Luozhen Sect added another elder, someone you are quite familiar with.
Gu Lin was somewhat puzzled upon hearing this.
"Sect Leader Li, it's good that a new elder has joined the sect, but you said I'm familiar with this person. Who is he?"
Gu Lin thought carefully about the people he knew.
But he couldn't recall anyone who could join the Luozhen Sect.
His acquaintances were all busy with their own things.
Li Yunjing paused.
"Elder Gu, please don't be angry after hearing this. It's Uncle Ding Qifeng. He joined the Luozhen Sect Luozhen Sect and became its alchemy elder."
Upon hearing this, Gu Lin's eyes widened immediately.
"He!"
"Sect Leader, how could this guy become an elder of the Luozhen Sect? Which elder is he?..."
Seeing that Gu Lin was getting emotional, Li Yunjing quickly said:
"Elder Gu, rest assured, there is no difference between you and Uncle Ding; you are both important elders of the Luozhen Sect."
Please calm down. Elder Gu knows that Luozhen Sect has a weak foundation. With Alchemist like Uncle Ding joining, Luozhen Sect would be more than happy to accept him, so naturally they would not refuse.
When Elder Gu meets Uncle Ding later, I hope Elder Gu can give me some face and avoid a conflict with Uncle Ding.
Gu Lin snorted:
"Hmph, I'll naturally give you that face."
However, I must advise you, Ding Qifeng is a bastard, he's no good, you'd better be careful."
Li Yunjing laughed it off and brushed it off.
He led Gu Lin into the Luozhen Sect, and then headed to the Oath Hall.
At this moment, all the disciples of the Luozhen Sect had gathered in the Oath Hall.
Ding Qifeng hadn't arrived yet, so Li Yunjing asked Mo Xuan to get acquainted with Shui Yao and Gu Lin.
Li Yunjing then went to find Ding Qifeng.
On the way, Li Yunjing encountered Ding Qifeng.
Li Yunjing told Ding Qifeng that Gu Lin had arrived.
I hope Ding Qifeng won't clash with Gu Lin when we meet later.
Ding Qifeng agreed.
They followed Li Yunjing to the Oath Hall.
Ding Qifeng spotted Gu Lin in the crowd at first glance.
Gu Lin also sensed something was wrong and looked over.
Upon seeing Ding Qifeng Ding Qifeng, their eyes met.
Both of them had anger in their eyes.
However, following Li Yunjing's instructions, they all exercised great restraint.
Seeing this, Li Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, Li Yunjing and four elders came before the disciples.
Ding Qifeng stood on the far right, while Gu Lin stood on the far left.
Li Yunjing introduced the two individuals to the other disciples.
Li Yunjing first introduced Gu Lin.
Because they already knew about Gu Lin's existence beforehand.
Therefore, the disciples simply cheered when Gu Lin became the Refining Elder.
They learned that Ding Qifeng had become the alchemy elder of the Luozhen Sect.
The disciples immediately erupted in excitement.
Even Gu Xuan was so excited that her face turned red and she clenched her hands tightly.
Gu Lin gritted his teeth at this scene.
Why should Ding Qifeng receive a louder cheer than he should?
Gu Lin was furious, especially when he saw Ding Qifeng's subtle provocative gaze.
In addition, there was the stimulation brought by Gu Xuan.
Gu Lin was like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment.
Li Yunjing keenly sensed something amiss and immediately signaled to his disciples to calm down.
Then, Li Yunjing looked at Gu Lin.
"Elder Gu, please say a few words."
Gu Lin took a deep breath, determined to regain some face.
Taking a few steps forward and looking at the disciples below, Gu Lin said:
"Gentlemen, there is no need to introduce my identity in detail, and I do not wish to waste any more words."
Now that I have become an elder of the Luozhen Sect, I will definitely give my full support to the Luozhen Sect.
You are the cornerstone of the Luozhen Sect; therefore, supporting you is supporting the Luozhen Sect.
This elder has decided that each of you may go to the Hundred Artifacts Pavilion to receive a top-tier, first-grade magical Law Artifact for free.
If you don't find a suitable one, you can also tell the disciples of the Hundred Artifacts Pavilion Hundred Artifacts Pavilion, and they will help you create a high-quality magical Law Artifact that you are satisfied with.
Once you 'Foundation Establishment, you can also receive a top-tier second-grade Law Artifact for free.
Upon hearing Gu Lin's words, the disciples present cheered with joy.
"Thank you Elder Gu!"
"Elder Gu, what a kind person!"
"..."
Gu Lin was pleased with the cheers from his disciples, and a smile spread across his face.
The frustration I felt earlier vanished instantly.
Turning to look at Ding Qifeng, Gu Lin was even happier to see Ding Qifeng's ashen face.
He knew that Ding Qifeng couldn't compare to him in this respect.
After all, Gu Lin owns the entire Hundred Artifacts Pavilion.
Ding Qifeng, on the other hand, was all alone.
He could also follow Gu Lin's example and give each disciple of the Luozhen Sect top-grade first- and second-grade spiritual pills.
But this would cause Ding Qifeng to bleed heavily.
After all, it would seem too stingy for Ding Qifeng to give away just one of these spiritual pills.
A whole bottle would be more appropriate.
The number of disciples in the Luozhen Sect is quite large now.
There are twenty-nine people.
Twenty-nine bottles of this type of elixir.
Even though Ding Qifeng was a second-grade Alchemist,
It will also cost a lot of Spirit Stone.
And even if Ding Qifeng really did that.
Gu Lin could still rely on the Hundred Artifacts Pavilion to continue increasing his investment.
Until Ding Qifeng was completely drained.
Ding Qifeng knew this, which is why his face turned ashen with anger.
Li Yunjing sighed.
The feud between these two is quite significant.
Fortunately, they didn't do anything outrageous.
Gu Lin regained some face and turned the tide.
Li Yunjing also opened the Oath Hall.
The Oath Hall is spacious enough to accommodate everyone.
Li Yunjing led everyone into the Oath Hall.
Li Yunjing bowed before the portrait of the founder of the Luozhen Sect, then turned to look at the disciples.
"Today is the first day of the new year. All disciples and elders, join me in making this vow, seeking the protection of Patriarch Luozhen."
Turning around again, Li Yunjing spoke:
"Vow!"
"I, Mo Xuan... Ding Qifeng... Zhang Hanpeng..., now take Patriarch Luozhen as my witness and hereby swear this oath:"
I. I will forever Luozhen Sect and obey the orders of the Sect Leader/Elders;
Second, strictly abide by the sect rules, maintain upright conduct, and do not damage the sect's reputation;
Third, diligently cultivate the Taiyi, pursue the path to immortality, and do not stray from the right path;
Fourth, cherish fellow disciples and jointly protect the sect.
If I break this oath, I will willingly accept the patriarch's punishment, suffer the backlash of inner demons, and have all my cultivation destroyed!
As the sect leader, Li Yunjing naturally did not need to take an oath.
Li Yunjing had already informed everyone of the oath's contents through Mo Xuan.
Therefore, everyone present except Li Yunjing successfully made their vows.
At that moment, the portraits of the patriarchs hanging there suddenly emitted a bright Golden Light.
The figures on it suddenly leaped out of the paper.
Immediately afterwards, the group clapped their hands, laughed, and nodded as they talked.
This scene lasted for five breaths before disappearing.
After the group returned to the portrait,
All the disciples and elders who made the vows present felt a Heavenly Talisman appear in their souls.
