Next room.
Biyao lay on the bed, tossing and turning, "Li Qingan and Tian Buyi haven't finished chatting yet!"
"Didn't Aunt You say she was going to check on things? Why haven't we heard anything?"
"..."
Biyao's mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts until she finally drifted off to sleep.
..........
The next day.
Above Qingyun Gate, several streaks of light would occasionally appear, heading towards Tongtian Peak Square.
These were all righteous sects that had submitted their invitations in advance, intending to cultivate a good relationship with Chief Li and establish connections.
The evil cult has been making frequent moves lately, and everyone knows that a major war between the righteous and the evil could break out again at any time.
It's just that the timing is uncertain.
And just then, Li Qing'an established the Eighth Branch, which provided a perfect excuse to inquire about the news.
"Look, your mountain peak seems to be Chief Li's eighth meridian!"
"I heard that this mountain wasn't originally this tall; it changed in a single day."
"..."
The righteous disciples who came and went marveled at the mountain peak.
At this time, it was already close to Chenshi (7-9 AM) at Tongtianfeng Square.
The disciples stationed on both sides of the square all had solemn expressions, yet also an air of arrogance.
Tian Buyi replaced Dao Xuan to greet the people from Tianyin Temple who had presented their visiting cards at the square.
"Master Pukong, I'm so grateful for your presence once again!"
"Master Tian, you're too kind!"
Pu Kong said something in a lukewarm tone.
He was also helpless about the Grass Temple Village incident, but he always felt that if it weren't for the traitor Cangsong of the Qingyun Sect seriously injuring Puzhi, how could the current situation have occurred?
If it weren't for the fact that Pu Hong, as the abbot of Tianyin Temple, would not have personally come to Qingyun Sect to attend a disciple's initiation ceremony.
That's why he was allowed to come as a representative of Tianyin Temple.
The more important purpose of this visit is to convey the message that the friendship between the two factions remains unchanged after the Zhang Xiaofan incident.
"Please have a seat, Master!"
Tian Buyi led him to a seat specially prepared for Tianyin Temple.
"Is that mountain the eighth branch of your sect?"
Pu Kong stared at the mountain peak that was as tall as Tongtian Peak, his pupils contracted slightly, and he asked in astonishment.
He had heard on his way here that Li Qing'an, the head of the eighth branch of the Qingyun Sect, had learned a "Long Mountain" immortal technique that could make a mountain peak grow hundreds of meters taller out of thin air, which was extremely exaggerated.
I didn't believe it at first, but now it's actually true.
"Yes, this is the eighth peak of my Qingyun Mountain, Tianzhen Peak. I hope Master Pukong will forgive my poor performance!" Tian Buyi turned to look at the mountain peak, where he could even vaguely see the canopies of pine and cypress trees.
"This has truly broadened my horizons. This kind of technique is probably similar to that of an immortal!"
Pu Kong asked, seemingly unintentionally.
"I don't know either, but considering Chief Li Qing'an's age, he's probably overthinking things with the idea of immortal techniques! It's probably just some array techniques that we don't know about!"
Tian Buyi shook his head and said with a smile.
"Please have a seat, Master. Excuse me!"
Seeing that the time was almost up, Tian Buyi turned around and left to greet the other guests.
He was also somewhat resentful that Zhang Xiaofan had been punched into the range of the Zhuxian Sword Formation by Pu Kong.
Tongtian Peak, inside the Ancestral Temple
Many sacrificial offerings of meat, animal, and fish were placed in front of the hall.
"Is your ceremony program authentic? Something feels off!"
Li Qingan, who arrived early, couldn't help but complain when he saw Wan Jianyi, Dao Xuan, and Cang Song standing next to him.
"Nonsense, this isn't the first time the three of us have studied the Meridian Opening Ceremony. We asked you to join us a few days ago, and you said you'd let us make the decisions!"
Wan Jianyi couldn't help but criticize Li Qing'an for spouting such nonsense while standing still.
Li Qingan chuckled dryly a few times, then remained silent.
He is indeed quite lazy.
"Let's go, let's pay our respects here first. Then we'll proceed to Tongtian Peak Square for the formal ceremony."
Dao Xuan looked at Li Qing'an wearing the robes of the chief disciple and said happily, "As for the Heavenly Mystery Seal of your eighth meridian, let's integrate it into the Heavenly Array Peak after this ceremony! Otherwise, I'm afraid the commotion will be too great and create another rift between us and the righteous path. Right now, Qingyun is too prominent!"
Remember, too much of a good thing is bad!
Li Qingan nodded.
"Let's go!"
Say it.
Dao Xuan led Li Qing'an toward Tongtian Peak, leaving Wan Jianyi and Cangsong to watch quietly from the spot.
“After today, you and I will both have to call him junior brother!” Wan Jianyi said with a smile as he looked at Li Qingan’s back.
"Senior Brother Dao Xuan, this decision is likely to shock the cultivation world once again!"
Cangsong stroked his white beard, gazing in the direction of Tongtian Peak.
"Hehe, now Li Qing'an is no longer officially Tian Pangzi's disciple. I'm curious about Tian Buyi's expression at the ceremony."
The summit of Tianzhen Peak.
"Aunt You, why were you so late coming home last night?"
Biyao lightly touched the leaves of a pine tree and watched the movements of Tongtian Peak from afar.
"I was too tired last night, so when I came to your room I found you were already asleep, so I didn't wake you!"
You Ji's expression remained unchanged; she simply concealed her true feelings quietly.
Then the topic was changed:
"Let's leave in a bit! Don't linger. The sect leader has already sent a letter, probably guessing that you've come to Qingyun Sect!"
"I understand, I'll leave in a bit!"
Biyao nodded; she also had her own plans in mind.
Anyway, we'll have another chance to meet later.
Youji's deep eyes gazed in the direction of Tongtian Peak.
........
P.S.: According to Xianyu's plan, there are only a few chapters left to finish Zhang Xiaofan's timeline in the original novel. After that, it will be nine years later, with Gui Li. A year earlier, in Xianyu's opinion, it's time for the protagonist to eat.
He'd be castrated if he couldn't get food.
Chapter 152 Dao Xuan's Junior Brother, Li Qing'an, A Life of 'Wandering and Distance'
Tongtian Peak, Chen Shi (7-9 AM).
Sunlight pierced through the thin mist, illuminating the lush green vegetation of Tongtian Peak. Distant mountain peaks appeared and disappeared in the morning light, and a flock of cranes continued to fly, resembling a traditional Chinese ink painting.
The entire Tongtian Peak was bathed in gentle sunlight, appearing so vibrant and energetic.
Tongtianfeng Square.
Disciples from several peaks, including Dazhu Peak and Xiaozhu Peak, stood below the plaza, gazing into the distance.
Tian Ling'er's eyes were filled with joy, and she would look up at the square from time to time.
Lu Xueqi's cold expression softened considerably, and she eagerly awaited what was to come.
'After this, brother, you shall soar through the heavens! I too must accelerate my cultivation.'
Time slips away bit by bit, until a certain moment.
Suddenly, drums resounded on Tongtian Peak.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"The Meridian Opening Ceremony officially begins!"
Immediately afterwards, a deep and powerful voice came from afar.
The Qingyun disciples standing on both sides drew their long swords from their waists at the sound of the shout.
'Zheng'
The swords rang out continuously, sword light soared into the sky, and sword intent permeated the air, gradually condensing into a black and white Tai Chi diagram above Tongtian Peak.
Dao Xuan's figure also appeared just in time above the Taiji diagram, looking down below.
Immediately, the sounds of bells and drums, along with other musical instruments, echoed continuously atop Tongtian Peak.
Below the plaza, in the guests' area!
"So this is Sect Leader Dao Xuan! It's rumored that he has extremely high talent and has already entered the Taiqing Realm!"
"Where is Chief Li Qing'an?!"
"Silence!"
An elder with some reputation in the righteous path spoke sternly in a low voice to his disciples who were whispering among themselves.
"Elder, they've arrived!"
One of the disciples pointed behind the elder, his eyes filled with joy.
