Courtesy Demands a Gift in Return for Ancestor Jiang Too
What is it?
Lu Changzhi looked at him and asked.
"An ancestor from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land is about to break through to the Saint Realm."
"Breaking through to the Saint Realm?"
Lu Changzhi's expression shifted:
"That certainly gives them a lot of confidence."
The Saint Realm is not simply a quantitative increase, but a qualitative leap.
The importance of a Saint Realm expert to a sacred land is self-evident.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Lu Changzhi had a thought.
"Since possessing a new Saint Realm expert is of paramount importance to the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, conversely, wouldn't losing a Saint Realm expert mean...?"
With this thought in mind, Lu Changzhi asked Cang Wenyu:
"Is this ancestor from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land who is about to break through the barrier our ancestor who seeks knowledge?"
Consider it, but first ask questions to clarify things.
Otherwise, if you find out at the end that it's your own, then you've wasted your effort.
"No."
Cang Wenyu shook his head:
"Our ancestor confirmed this matter; Lin Tianlei is an ancestor born and raised in the Cloud Heaven Holy Land."
Lu Changzhi nodded and asked:
"What are the sect's plans regarding this matter?"
"This kind of matter involves a high level of authority and significant implications; it's decided by the patriarch."
Cang Wenyu said:
"According to the patriarch, the breakthrough of the patriarch of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land Saint Realm Land into the Saint Realm will take place in the secret realm. At the time of the breakthrough, any attempt to intervene would easily cause unnecessary trouble, so the patriarchs do not intend to intervene personally."
"However, the news has already been spread, and the Star Moon Holy Land shouldn't be idle."
"As for the Dongfang Clan, because they are far away, it's still uncertain how they will react."
Lu Changzhi pondered for a moment.
This is consistent with the way our ancestors always acted.
After all, even when acting like a gentleman, they rely on the patriarch of the Mystic One Sect to handle things without personally intervening, so it's not surprising that they won't intervene in this matter.
Revealing information to the Star Moon Holy Land and the Dongfang Clan is clearly an attempt to muddy the waters.
"However, judging from the previous situations of the two Holy Lords, if the Star Moon Holy Land intervenes and stirs things up, there might actually be a chance."
Lu Changzhi's heart stirred.
Previously Min Qianlan and Huang Yunya had been at odds.
If this were on the territory of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, they might actually be able to bring out Huang Yunya's father.
Only by coming out can he properly act as a polite person and present a great gift to the Cloud Heaven Holy Land.
"It seems this trip is unavoidable."
Thinking to himself, Lu Changzhi asked Cang Wenyu about the approximate time.
The outcome is uncertain; the opportunity for a breakthrough may arise, but when that step will actually be taken varies from person to person.
But it won't be too long.
And there is also the possibility of failure.
"Changzhi, you don't have any thoughts about this, do you?" Cang Wenyu asked.
Lu Changzhi smiled and said:
"I'm just asking around; after all, I've never even witnessed Saint breaking through to the next level."
Cang Wenyu waved his hand:
"The patriarch of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land chose to break through in the secret realm precisely so that the outside world wouldn't notice anything unusual."
After saying that, Cang Wenyu changed the subject and said:
"However, you are not young anymore. Judging from what you said and did before, the Old Ancestor Gu thinks you are capable of making your own way in the world. Just do whatever you want."
"If you need anything from the sect, just let us know."
The previous concern stemmed from the feeling that Lu Changzhi was still young and might not be able to handle things properly, potentially leading to further danger.
However, based on the sect's previous assessment during the crisis and consideration of its usual practices,
Despite his young age, he is very mature in his work and should already be able to handle things on his own.
"It seems the sect leader now has great faith in my abilities."
Hearing this, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but smile.
The sect leader wasn't like this before.
"No, that's not it."
Cang Wenyu glanced at Lu Changzhi and shook his head.
Then, the storage ring on his hand flashed with light.
A purple bracelet, which looked like jade, appeared in Cang Wenyu's hand.
Lu Changzhi looked over, then his gaze sharpened, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
This jade bracelet is actually a mid-grade Saint Artifact!
But the aura contained within the bracelet is even more astonishing.
It was a powerful feeling that was hard to describe, yet it also had a vague sense of familiarity.
"Sect Leader, what is this?"
Lu Changzhi looked at Cang Wenyu and asked.
Cang Wenyu also looked at Lu Changzhi, took a deep breath, and said:
"This is a Saint Artifact."
Lu Changzhi didn't react much to this, since he had already seen it through the system.
What he really wanted to know was where this thing came from.
"It seems the things Changzhi parents gave him were quite extraordinary."
Seeing that Lu Changzhi barely reacted, Cang Wenyu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Then, she handed the bracelet to Lu Changzhi and explained:
"This is a gift from Ancestor Jiang for our first meeting."
"He left behind several powerful attacks, which you can use to protect yourself in times of crisis."
After a pause, Cang Wenyu added:
"Because I'm worried that one strike won't solve the problem, I'll unleash several strikes at once, once I've used one."
Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi's heart stirred, and he asked:
"Did Ancestor Jiang know my parents?"
Cang Wenyu shook his head:
"I'm not sure, but it should be, otherwise I wouldn't have specially left you a gift."
Lu Changzhi nodded, took the bracelet, and felt a warmth in his heart.
Have a look.
What a wonderful and cautious ancestor!
Other geniuses, powerful figures, or those with hidden trump cards, unleash their full power in a single attack.
When it's your turn, reveal your trump card and unleash several powerful attacks.
The thought of Ancestor Jiang's Saint King level cultivation made Lu Changzhi's heart uneasy.
If this were used against the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, it might not just be a head-on blow, but a devastating one.
Of course, this is just something to think about.
Even if he actually used it that way, he still felt it was a bit wasteful.
It is impolite not to reciprocate.
With a thought to himself, Lu Changzhi made up his mind.
Of course, this time it's a formal ceremony.
The Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves, the Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit, the Origin Spirit Vein, the Life Spirit Spring, and the Supreme-Grade Marrow Cleansing Fruit were all arranged for Ancestor Jiang.
Especially the Dao Comprehension Tea and the Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit.
With thorough and vigorous efforts, we ensured that Ancestor Jiang's path to learning was smooth and unobstructed!
"Perfect."
After putting on the bracelet, Lu Changzhi said to Cang Wenyu:
"Perfect."
"I also have some things here that I plan to share with our ancestors."
As he spoke, Lu Changzhi took out a few Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit.
Cang Wenyu glanced at it, and his expression immediately changed drastically. He said incredulously:
"Several ripe, Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit?!"
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly looked up at the sky.
"Um?"
Seeing Cang Wenyu's actions, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but feel curious and asked:
"Sect Leader, what's going on?"
Cang Wenyu withdrew his gaze, looked at the Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit, and said:
"It is said that when a mature Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit appears in the world, it will cause Heaven and Earth Phenomenon. However, yours does not seem to have any such phenomena. Is it perhaps protected by a restriction?"
As he spoke, Cang Wenyu looked up at the sky again.
"Um?"
Lu Changzhi also looked up and suddenly thought of something.
Could the strange Heaven and Earth Phenomenon I encountered while traveling last time have been caused by the ripening of the Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit planted by Qi Zhan?
Upon closer reflection, the time and place match up quite well.
"This guy is really unlucky."
If there are Heaven and Earth Phenomenon to attract attention, Qi Zhan's scheme might actually work.
Of course, since everything has already happened, there's no point in making assumptions.
Regaining his composure, Lu Changzhi asked the system:
"System, you haven't been hiding all the unusual Heaven and Earth Phenomenon that are supposed to occur, have you?"
