Chapter 64: The Completion of the Light Cloud Golden Elixir

  May 16th, evening.

  Zheng Qing Sect's Xuan Nü Peak was suddenly shrouded in mist and cloud, with a million rays of auspicious light. All the disciples in the lower courtyard of Zheng Qing Sect felt something in their hearts, looked up and gazed into the distance. Many people in the middle courtyard also raised their heads, and those who were also Holy Sons and Daughters like Zhu Qīngyún directly cast their gaze over.

  Jue Yunfeng. The Crown Prince, Ji Kang, suddenly opened his eyes and said "good" three times in a row. In just over three years, Zhu Qingyun successfully condensed the Golden Elixir from the initial stage of foundation building, achieving an unblemished true body, henceforth "the Golden Elixir is in my belly, my life is mine to command".

  Xuan Nu Peak Xuan Nu Temple Zhu Qingyun was still meditating, when suddenly the clouds and fog on the mountain waist all dispersed, and the rosy glow became even more magnificent. From far and near, people began to exclaim: "Ah, the sun and moon are reunited!"

  Congratulations, Light Cloud has formed a Golden Elixir and the rare phenomenon of the sun and moon merging has appeared.

  In an instant, countless rays of light burst out from the top of Xuan Nü Peak, and everyone heard countless Buddhist chants and celestial music in their ears. The tip of their nose was surrounded by a strange fragrance. With a loud "boom", the rays of light disappeared, and the clouds dispersed.

  It's done, many people thought.

  Zhu Qingyun's Golden Core stage is nothing, even in the Lower Court, there are many disciples who have achieved the Golden Core in the Holy Sword Hall, the Invincible Hall, or the Wind and Rain Hall, but none of them caused such a big stir as Zhu Qingyun.

  This is not the point, the key is that adding up her time spent cultivating in the mortal world, she only used seven years. Seven years of Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Building Stage, and then to Golden Core Stage, just listening to it makes one gasp in shock, no wonder with just the initial stage of Foundation Building she directly advanced to become a Holy Maiden of Zhengqing Sect.

  Qingyun has just become a saint for the first year, and many people were dissatisfied. Now they are thoroughly convinced.

  From building the foundation to the middle stage, this can be achieved with the help of elixirs, but to break through to the Golden Elixir, no matter how many elixirs one has, it is all in vain without extraordinary physical and mental enlightenment.

  So swift, previously rumored that Qingyun was a disciple personally taught by the Xuanmen Tianxian in the mortal world, now many people have started to believe it.

  The Zhēng Qīng Sect is located in a vast area of tens of thousands of miles, with the Twelve Sacred Sons and Daughters residing there, also divided into Upper, Middle, and Lower Courts. Apart from the main gate of the Zhēng Qīng Sect, unlike the Holy Sword Hall, each mountain has towns and cities at its foot.

  Liangshan accompanied Old Man Zhang to send his daughter-in-law to Zhengqing Sect's mountain gate and walked for a month, only coming out when they reached the town at the foot of the mountain.

  Just like Putuoshan, a popular tourist destination in the 21st century.

  Putuo Mountain has three major temples on the mountain, which are the same as the practice places. The fishermen at the foot of the mountain built a collective town, opened family inns, and various religious supplies stores, relying on the mountain gate for a living. The people at the foot of the mountain are all secular people, but they were born in a blessed land due to the accumulation of merits from their past lives.

  The situation is the same below the mountain of Zhengqing Sect. The residents at the foot of the mountain are divided into two types: indigenous people and immigrants. Indigenous people are native-born aborigines, while immigrants are those who have been allowed to move in with their families because they have achieved great success or made great contributions to the Zhengqing Sect, bringing glory to their clan, although they are ordinary people, but their lifespan can reach one hundred years.

  Compared to it, the mysterious gate of Zhengqing Sect is vast and boundless, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles. Many disciples of Zhengqing Sect have heard of it but never been there, and it's said that it has become a separate realm, where one cannot rashly speculate without being at least at the level of Yuanying.

  "Congratulations to our junior sister for achieving Golden Elixir!" The voices of congratulations from the various peaks came in unison.

  "Congratulations, sister! This Five Elements Spiritual Hairpin is a gift for you!" Prince Taizi Kang's voice rang out, as a five-colored light streaked across like a shooting star.

  "Thank you, Shixiong." Zhi Qingyun's voice was devoid of any worldly emotions.

  The Crown Prince Kang led the way, and the other sacred sons and daughters naturally gave away treasures to establish a good relationship.

  The next day, at dawn, the grand ceremony was held in the main hall of Zhengqing Peak, congratulating Qingyun on his advancement to Jindan. The leader of the Zhengqing Sect, Yuwen Cheng, sat with a smile on his face in the highest position, and the elder members of the Upper Court on either side of him were also smiling, their usual solemn expressions nowhere to be seen.

  The ceremony was of a high order, and only the elder of the Upper House and the Holy Sons and Daughters had the privilege of entering the Zhengqing Hall.

  After a soul-stirring drum performance, the Holy Son and Holy Maiden entered in a file, each one stepping on air as if riding the wind, floating like immortals.

  Ji Kang was waiting outside for Zhu Liyun.

  Ji Kang is the former Crown Prince of Zhou during the Warring States period, who abandoned his throne to cultivate the Tao. He is now a high-ranking Yuan Ying, and has been designated as the successor of the Zheng Qing Sect. Within the sect, he can be said to have unparalleled power and influence.

  After the three rounds of drumming, Zhu Qingyun stepped up to the nine-layered platform with a flutter. Zhu Qingyun was still wearing the same hemp robe and white gown as when she came to Zhengqing Sect, which was personally sewn by Liang Yang's family, covering her slender and delicate body, with a natural aura that permeated her entire being, and an ethereal energy that was overwhelming. If Liang Shan saw Zhu Qingyun at this moment, he would be shocked and think her a celestial being.

  "Come with me, sister," said Ji Kang with a smile, holding out his hand.

  The other saints and saintesses in line suddenly looked surprised, with some of the saintesses' faces even revealing a hint of jealousy.

  Ji Kang's hands were warm and smooth as jade, emitting a fragrance that was refreshing and delightful.

  In Zhengyi Daoism, openly holding hands between a man and woman means they have become dao companions.

  Ji Kang's hand stretched out halfway but couldn't reach. Every Golden Elixir period cultivator would have their own aura shield, and if the other party didn't let go of their mind and body, they wouldn't be able to hold hands.

  Ji Kang knew that Zhu Liyun was politely declining, so he laughed and withdrew his hand, saying "Just kidding." He made a "please" gesture with his hand and said "Sister, please!"

  Gao Gaozai Shang's palm teaching Yu Wen Cheng looked far away at his beloved disciple and Zhu Qingyun, thinking to himself that his disciple had a good eye for talent, but Zhu Qingyun's heart was too pure and firm, making it difficult to succeed.

  Ji Kang followed Zhu Qingyun into the grand hall with his hands behind his back, his face calm and unruffled without a hint of awkwardness. Just a moment ago when he reached out to her, Ji Kang had realized that Zhu Qingyun's heart was almost devoid of romantic feelings towards men.

  As a result, her thoughts of that husband in the mortal world naturally faded a lot, and there were still thousands of years to come.

  Yuwen Cheng's junior is Tianji Zi, who is a Kun Dao and also the mentor of Zhu Qingyun. She gazes at her beloved disciple with kind eyes.

  The heavenly mechanism is in operation, the heavens and earth are undergoing a great change, the mundane world is in a state of chaos and disorder, ordinary people are fighting, even immortals will suffer calamity. This is due to the changes in the celestial atmosphere and the re-entanglement of cause and effect. Many excellent disciples from various sects will have to undergo trials, and if things go wrong, their sects may also be affected. The more excellent disciples like Qingyun from the Zhengqing Sect, the more adaptable they will be to future changes.

  The nine-tiered platform of Zhengqing Hall was lined with disciples from the Upper, Middle and Lower Courts. Murong Bo was among the Middle Court disciples.

  Five months ago, he went to the Sacred Sword Hall, and for a time, there was no one else. He returned to the Zhengqing Sect, but now he is among the crowd, looking up at the grand hall floating in the clouds like an immortal, his heart racing wildly, and a hint of shocking red flashed across his cheeks, vowing that one day he would definitely stand inside that great hall.

  In an instant, he made up his mind.

  Liang Shan returned to Sheng Jian Tang for three days and his mood just calmed down.

  Liáng Shān is worried about Chén Sì Niáng and Liáng Jiā Zhuāng, but there's only half a month of vacation left, and not coming back will have severe consequences.

  Liáng Shān walked away with a flourish, greatly boosting the confidence of Liáng Jiā Zhuāng's people. He then went to Mǎ Jiā Bǎo and intimidated Mǎ Míng Yuǎn once again.

  Liang Shan's previous purpose in visiting the Holy Sword Hall was very simple, just hoping to reunite with his wife from the Zhengqing Sect as soon as possible.

  The mighty army of Xiqin suddenly arrived, and Liangshan realized that he had thought too simply.

  The defenders of Xinye County fled at the sight of the wind, and there was basically no battle, but wherever Liangshan passed, the wolf smoke billowed, and some small villages were already in ruins.

  If Liangshan weren't a outer door disciple of the Holy Sword Hall, if he hadn't gotten entangled with Lei Yun, when the Western Qin army came to kill him, Liangshan could only take his family and flee deep into the mountains, and the Liang Family Village he had worked so hard to build would be reduced to rubble.

  The Western Qin army is making a big move to offend the Song country, and it won't be long before the two countries go to war. It's just that once they're at war, it will soon be clear who wins or loses. What's worrisome is getting bogged down in a protracted war of attrition. Meanwhile, the Northern Wei is attacking the capital of the Daxia country, Tongwancheng, and it's said that inside and outside Tongwancheng has become a giant slaughterhouse.
