I Once Heard There Was a Sword Immortal Elder in the Holy Land?

"No, that's not it. If there were any secret realms, I would definitely have told you."

Cang Wenyu took the Heaven and Earth Pagoda and shook his head:

"I'll ask the old master to equip you with some self-defense tools, just in case there's any serious trouble."

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Lu Changzhi's lips.

No need for further explanation, just experience it.

This feeling.

That's great.

After putting away the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, Cang Wenyu glanced at the Black Dragon a few more times, a thoughtful expression on his face, and asked Lu Changzhi:

"How does this compare to the pot of stuff that old bastard Xu Kun made last time?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi smiled and said:

"Sect Leader, you can tell just by looking at the size."

"OK."

Cang Wenyu patted Lu Changzhi on the shoulder and said:

"Consider it a favor I owe you, kid."

"It's getting late, I'll go back and continue my work, I'll come back later."

After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.

"This sect leader."

Lu Changzhi smiled and shook his head, put away the Black Dragon, and got up to go find Luo Ling'er.

"Master, are you hungry?"

Seeing Lu Changzhi approach, Luo Ling'er asked.

Lu Changzhi couldn't help but smile and said:

"I just finished eating, of course I'm not hungry yet."

As he spoke, Lu Changzhi handed over the storage ring, saying:

"These are the ingredients prepared for the Sect Leader and Peak Master Xu tonight. Get them ready."

"Good."

Luo Ling'er agreed, took the storage ring, and began to examine it.

Soon, her little face was full of confusion:

"Master, this egg is huge!"

"Can it hatch into a baby monster?"

Lu Changzhi coughed lightly and shook his head, saying:

"This egg is definitely no good; it's only suitable for eating."

"I see." Luo Ling'er nodded, seemingly understanding, and then asked:

"It's so big, do we have to do it all?"

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment and nodded.

With the jade plate there, there's no need to worry about losing temperature or flavor.

They've already made everything; if they can't finish it, they can take it with them.

"Oh, right."

Lu Changzhi's heart skipped a beat, as if he had thought of something.

"If it won't cause any problems, stew these Marrow Cleansing Fruit together."

The provincial sect leader and Peak Master Xu were reluctant to eat the Marrow Cleansing Fruit.

In this way, it subtly and silently benefits people.

After finishing his business here, Lu Changzhi went inside.

On the way back, he had a thoughtful look on his face.

"What the sect leader said back then reminded me."

Lu Changzhi's eyes flickered slightly.

It hadn't been used for a long time, and I had almost forgotten about the Heaven-Veiling Illusion Array.

Currently, all five peaks are within the range of the Heaven-Veiling Illusion Array.

With the help of the illusion array, many things become much easier to do.

Rather than leaving it to the sect leader, it's better to do it ourselves.

After all, no matter how much they were given, given their past understanding of the value of the Marrow Cleansing Fruit, they would definitely hold back and not be too extravagant.

Lu Changzhi estimated that it was unlikely that at least one person would eat a handful of this.

In this case, it actually differs from his original plan.

After all, while the Marrow Cleansing Fruit is indeed precious, there are simply too many trees of it.

It's important to know that only a portion of the orchard ripened last time.

"Since I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well do it myself."

Lu Changzhi had a general plan in mind.

"The matter concerning the Mystic One Sect was probably handled by the elders. Such a huge undertaking must have exhausted them."

"I wonder how many patriarchs the sect is hiding. Was that last ladleful enough?"

After a moment's thought, Lu Changzhi glanced outside:

"Taking advantage of the dark and windy night, let's go and water the ancestors with some more spiritual spring water tonight."

As he spoke, Lu Changzhi's eyes flickered slightly.

That's perfect, I can use the system to probe the ancestors' depths and see what their cultivation levels are.

Last time, I was so busy watering the spiritual spring that I didn't get discovered and didn't have time to investigate.

This time, we'll investigate first before watering.

With this thought in mind, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

Cloud Heaven Holy Land.

Inside the house.

Luo Zhen slowly opened his eyes.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Soon, a look of intense excitement appeared on his face.

At the same time, there was also some confusion.

"I never imagined that this breakthrough would bring about such a significant change."

At this moment, he felt completely refreshed, with an indescribable sense of comfort throughout his body.

Not only has his cultivation level greatly improved, but his physical body also seems to have become much stronger, and his divine sense has also been unexpectedly enhanced compared to before.

Such a change is simply unheard of.

"Some treasures in this world only appear and grow in the right place. I have only just arrived at the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, yet I have already made such a great breakthrough."

Luo Zhen's eyes flickered slightly:

"So, the Cloud Heaven Holy Land is my true home."

At this moment, Zhou Chang got up and walked in, a smile on his face:

"Congratulations on such a breakthrough."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhen laughed and said:

"I must thank you, senior, for bringing me to the Holy Land; otherwise, I wouldn't have had this opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chang raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself:

"Just as the Holy Lord said, the stars are brighter because they have come to the Holy Land."

At this moment, he took out a jade talisman, handed it to Luo Zhen, sighed softly, and said:

"Some changes have occurred at the Mystic One Sect, where you previously belonged."

Luo Zhen took the jade talisman, his brows furrowing slightly.

The jade talisman contained the news of the destruction of the Mystic One Sect, along with the death of his master, Xuan Yong.

Zhou Chang remained Jingjing, simply observing Luo Zhen's reaction.

At this moment, Luo Zhen's expression suddenly changed slightly.

"What?" Zhou Chang asked.

"It's nothing." Luo Zhen shook his head and gave a forced smile.

"It's a pity that the Mystic One Sect has suffered such a calamity."

In fact, he was more concerned about something else.

The Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves I had was almost gone.

There must still be some within the Mystic One Sect.

After all, they had initially won him over with the Dao Comprehension Tea.

But right now, I'm afraid...

At this moment, Zhou Chang spoke up and asked:

"Due to the upheaval at the Mystic One Sect, you are now without a sect. Are you willing to join the Cloud Heaven Holy Land?"

Luo Zhen thought for a moment and said:

"Does what you said before still stand?"

"You've confirmed the Holy Son's identity?" Zhou Chang asked.

Luo Zhen nodded.

Zhou Chang pondered for a moment:

"Establishing a quasi-holy son is an extremely important matter that requires discussion among the elders of the holy land. However, I will do my best to advocate for you, what do you say?"

Luo Zhen thought for a moment, nodded, and then asked:

"I've heard that there's a Sword Immortal elder in the holy land?"

"Not bad." Zhou Chang nodded.

Guest elder, also an elder.

"I am skilled with a sword; could I possibly be accepted as his apprentice?"

Zhou Chang frowned slightly and said:

"This is a difficult matter. That Sword Immortal elder travels far and wide and rarely returns. However, if there is an opportunity, I will try my best to help you."

"That works too."

Luo Zhen nodded, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, and said:

"This is the only way. I'm willing to join the Cloud Heaven Holy Land."

A short while later, at the sacred temple.

"Luo Zhen is an excellent judge of character; his aptitude and talent still need further exploration to reveal their unique aspects, but regarding his temperament..."

Zhou Chang shook his head, a look of unspoken difficulty on his face, and then commented:

"His ambition is too great. Based on the investigation into his past, from the Five Symbols Sect to the Mystic One Sect, and then to joining the Holy Land, none of these steps have been too difficult. As for his loyalty, I'm afraid it will be hard to retain him."

The Holy Lord nodded gently.

He was already aware of the conversation between Luo Zhen and Zhou Chang.

At this moment, after Zhou Chang finished speaking, he gently tapped the armrest and said:

"It's normal for someone young, who knows they're being valued, to have some ambition."

"Putting all that aside, his physical attributes and talent must be given double the attention and nurtured with all our might to see just how far he can go."

As for loyalty...

The Holy Lord paused slightly, then continued:

"If we cannot influence him and make him loyal to the Holy Land, then we will use every means to ensure that he will not and cannot leave the Cloud Heaven Holy Land and is completely used by our Holy Land."

After speaking, the Holy Lord looked at Fang Ling and said:

"Elder Fang, this young man is skilled with the sword and possesses remarkable talent. Why don't you take him under your wing for a while and observe whether he has any unique abilities?"

"Good."

Fang Ling readily agreed and said with a smile:

"If this young man also possesses extraordinary talent in swordsmanship, then I have truly benefited greatly."
