Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the inauguration ceremony.
Today, the entire Haotian Herb Sect was decorated with lanterns and colored banners. It was very lively. Sects and forces of all sizes came to attend the ceremony. It was filled with a joyous atmosphere.
At noon, the auspicious hour had arrived. Countless guests gathered at the Vast Heaven Plaza of the Vast Heaven Herb Sect. A large number of Vast Heaven Herb Sect members had gathered. As far as the eye could see, it was a dense sea of people.
There was a tall platform in the center of the plaza. The Vice Sect Leader, Yao Wuji, the Second Elder, the Third Elder, the Fourth Elder, and many other upper echelons of the Haotian Herb Sect sat there with smiles on their faces.
Evidently, they were extremely satisfied with Liu Qingyue, the young man who was about to succeed the position of sect leader.
However, the only thing that puzzled them was that the First Elder, the Fifth Elder, and the Seventh Elder did not attend the inauguration ceremony. This was a grand occasion for the Haotian Herb Sect!
Although they did not seem to be satisfied with Liu Qingyue and did not have a harmonious opinion with them, shouldn't they at least give him some face?
However, they did not attend. This more or less displeased them.
Weren't these fellows too ignorant of the current situation? What would the guests think of this?
The Vice Sect Leader, Yao Wuji, and the Second Elder welcomed the guests with smiles on the surface, but they were extremely furious in their hearts.
On the other hand, Liu Qingyue had a refreshing smile on his face the entire time. He welcomed the guests and waited quietly for the inauguration ceremony to officially begin.
As time passed, the enthronement ceremony finally began.
The Vice Sect Leader, Yao Wuji, stood on the high platform with a smile on his face. He presided over all sorts of complicated procedures while Liu Qingyue performed all sorts of formalities.
After this was done, the Vice Sect Leader, Yao Wuji, announced with a smile.
"Liu Qingyue is the personal disciple of Sect Leader Yao Chen. He has inherited his legacy and will and is the best candidate for the position of sect leader. After some deliberation, we have decided that Liu Qingyue will be the new sect leader of the Haotian Herb Sect! Next, Liu Qingyue, please take over the sect seal … "
As soon as Vice Sect Leader Yao Wuji's words fell, a senior elder immediately carried the sect's seal and the sect's treasures onto the stage.
"Wait!"
Seeing that Liu Qingyue was about to take over the Sect Seal and inherit the position of the Sect Master, an ancient and dignified voice sounded at this moment.
This sudden voice caused doubt to flash across the faces of everyone present.
What was going on?
Today was the Sect Master Enthronement Ceremony of the Vast Heaven Herbal Sect. Could it be that there was still someone who dared to come and make trouble?
Under their puzzled gazes, the Great Elder, the Fifth Elder, the Seventh Elder, the Blazing Sun Elder, the Poison Elder, and the others hurriedly brought Ye Xuan over and appeared in everyone's line of sight.
"Great Elder, Fifth Elder …"
Looking at the arrival of the Great Elder and the others, the confusion in the eyes of the crowd became even more intense.
Great Elder and the others had never shown any promise before, so what were they doing here at this time?
"Great Elder, what is the meaning of this?"
Vice Sect Leader Yao Wuji, Second Elder, and the others asked curiously.
"Liu Qingyue does not have the qualifications to inherit the position of sect master. The one who is truly suitable to inherit the position of sect master of our Haotian Medicine Sect is the successor of our ancestor, Immortal Emperor Hao Tian, Ye Xuan!"
The First Elder's voice was sonorous and powerful, and it reverberated throughout the entire square, causing the people in the surroundings to go into an uproar and be extremely shocked.
"Immortal Emperor Hao Tian's successor, Ye Xuan?"
"Who is this Ye Xuan?" Is he really the successor of the ancestor of the Immortal Emperor Hao Tian? "
"What's going on? When did the Great Elder bring back an ancestor's successor? "
"Ye Xuan? I've never heard of him. Is he a member of our sect? "
"Wow, so Senior Brother Ye Xuan is actually the successor of our ancestor. No wonder he's so powerful. Back then, even Elder Wu and the others couldn't do anything to him."
"Although Senior Brother Liu Qingyue is very handsome and strong, I seem to like Senior Brother Ye Xuan more. I was attracted by his temperament back then!"
At this moment, the gazes of everyone present fell onto Ye Xuan, who was beside the Great Elder. Their eyes were filled with curiosity, doubt, and size.
The Great Elder actually found a successor of the ancestor, the Immortal Emperor Hao Tian, without saying a word?
Vice Sect Leader Yao Wuji, the Second Elder, and the Third Elder also looked at Ye Xuan with eyes that flickered with doubt.
Liu Qingyue's gaze also fell onto Ye Xuan. His eyes flickered with a cold light as he coldly sized him up!
Was this the guy that the Great Elder had found to compete with him for the position of Sect Master?
Is he the kid who came from Earth Star, the successor of the Dragon Emperor?
From the looks of it, it was just so-so!
"Great Elder, there are some things that you can't say carelessly. Everyone knows that our ancestor has disappeared for countless years and there is no news of him at all. Now, you suddenly found a brat and said that he is our ancestor's successor and has come to stop Liu Qingyue from succeeding as the Sect Master. Do you think this is believable?"
A moment later, Yao Wuji retracted his gaze from Ye Xuan and looked at the Grand Elder as he coldly asked.
"I read the Spirit Words Jade left behind by my ancestor. He accurately mentioned that Ye Xuan would inherit the position of sect master and be in charge of the Haotian Medicine Sect! In addition, Ye Xuan has the sect's most precious treasure that his ancestor passed down to him as proof! "
The Great Elder and the others leaped up and landed steadily on the high platform.
"You keep saying that you have the Spirit Words Jade left behind by your ancestor. Where is it?"
Vice Sect Leader Yao Wuji sneered.
"At that time, the Spirit Words Jade had already been read by us and disappeared with the wind! However, the Fifth Elder and the Seventh Elder can testify! "
The Great Elder said with a proud expression.
"That's right. Ancestor once appointed Ye Xuan as the next sect master in the Spirit Words Jade. This matter is absolutely true. We can use our lives as proof!"
The Fifth Elder, the Seventh Elder, and the others all spoke in deep voices.
Although they didn't read the Spirit Words Jade, they had absolute trust in the Great Elder and Ye Xuan. Moreover, in this short month, they'd already been convinced by Ye Xuan's talent in alchemy.
Not only did this fellow break through to become an Earth Rank Alchemist, he even reached the level of a second grade Earth Rank Alchemist.
Of course, during this month, Ye Xuan's martial cultivation hadn't fallen behind. Under the guidance of the Great Elder, the Fifth Elder, and the others, coupled with the help of the medicinal pills he'd refined, Ye Xuan's martial cultivation had risen from a six star Realm Lord to a nine star Realm Lord. His strength had increased explosively, and even the Seventh Elder and the Fifth Elder weren't his match if he used his full strength.
Therefore, they were filled with absolute confidence in Ye Xuan's fight for the position of Sect Master.
Although Liu Qingyue was powerful and terrifying, it wasn't as if Ye Xuan didn't have the strength to fight him!
Hearing the words of the Fifth Elder, the Seventh Elder, and the Great Elder, everyone present was shocked.
After all, the prestige of the Fifth Elder, the Seventh Elder, and the Great Elder in the sect was not low. Their words still had some credibility.
"Heh heh... After the Spirit Words Jade reads the information, it will disappear with the wind, but the Medicine Book will not! You said that he has the sect's most precious treasure, the Medicine Book, then may I ask where the Medicine Book is? "
Vice Sect Leader Yao Wuji sneered.
"Shua!"
"The Medicine Book is here!"
The Great Elder gave Ye Xuan a glance. Ye Xuan lightly nodded his head, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. His palm extended out with a golden light, and an ancient and mysterious book that emitted a sacred aura appeared in Ye Xuan's hand, appearing in everyone's line of sight.
"Medicine Book!"
"It really is the Medicine Book!"
"Has our Haotian Medicine Sect's lost treasure been found for many years?"
Everyone present was shocked as they looked at the Medicine Book in Ye Xuan's hand. Excited words came out of their mouths.
Oh my!
Even the eyes of Vice Sect Leader Yao Wuji, the Second Elder, the Third Elder, and the Fourth Elder burst out with a resplendent light. Their faces were filled with excitement.
Their alchemy skills had already been stuck at a bottleneck and could no longer break through. If they could flip through the Medicine Book, their alchemy skills would definitely be able to break through and enter a whole new realm.
The surrounding elders and deacons also had fanatical expressions on their faces.
With the reappearance of the Medicine Book, their Haotian Medicine Sect would definitely return to glory.
"Ye Xuan is the best successor to our sect. Only he can lead the sect to glory and return to its peak! I think that the new sect master of our Haotian Medicine Sect should be Ye Xuan! "
The Great Elder's voice was filled with supreme might as it echoed in everyone's ears, causing the many elders, deacons, and disciples who originally supported Liu Qingyue to fall into a long silence.
"I second that!"
"I second that as well!"
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
The Fifth Elder, the Seventh Elder, the Blazing Sun Elder, and the Poison Elder all agreed at this moment.
The elders and deacons who were originally neutral had faces full of hesitation, not knowing how to make a decision.
As for those who supported Liu Qingyue, they were all shaken at this moment.
"A Medicine Encyclopedia alone cannot prove anything. After all, everyone knows that the Medicine Encyclopedia was stolen by a traitor in the sect many years ago. He only obtained it by luck, so it cannot prove anything."
"But Liu Qingyue is different. He has obtained the true teachings of Sect Master Yao Chen and possesses the keepsake and jade slip given by Sect Master Yao Chen. He is the best candidate for the new Sect Master!"
Seeing that many people were beginning to waver, the Vice Sect Master Yao Wuji, the Second Elder, and the others also spoke in a deep voice.
After a pause, they continued to speak.
"Everyone has witnessed Liu Qingyue's strength and talent. Not only is his martial arts unparalleled, his alchemy skills are also peerless. He even won the championship of the sect's alchemy assessment and won the recognition of the sect's elders and disciples. His reputation and might aren't something that a mere Ye Xuan can compare to. How can everyone believe him if he were to succeed as the sect master? What will he use to lead the sect to glory and return to its peak?
"Yao Wuji's words were sonorous and forceful, causing many people to nod their heads in agreement.
Liu Qingyue's strength was obvious to everyone, and he was deeply trusted by everyone.
However, Ye Xuan, who had just appeared, didn't have any battle achievements or strength. How could he convince the masses? How could he compete with Liu Qingyue for the position of Sect Master?
"Ye Xuan's strength and talent aren't any weaker than Liu Qingyue's … Since both of us have our own opinions, how about we let them compete?"
"Whoever wins will be the next Sect Master of the Haotian Medicine Sect. How about it?"
The Great Elder's eyes flashed. He'd already expected such a situation, so he spoke in a low voice.
Ye Xuan's reputation was indeed much weaker than Liu Qingyue's. Only by defeating Liu Qingyue in front of everyone would he be able to convince the masses.
After all, in any place, strength was everything. No matter how extravagant your words were, it would be of no use!
Hearing the Great Elder's words, the gazes of Yao Wuji, the Second Elder, and the others couldn't help but narrow as a trace of seriousness flashed in their eyes.
Obviously, he did not expect the Great Elder to raise such a condition in public. Could it be that he was so confident in that brat to actually be able to defeat Liu Qingyue?
"Alright, I agree to compete with him!"
Yao Wuji, the Second Elder, and the others were just about to speak when Liu Qingyue's eyes flashed and he spoke in a low voice.
As the next successor to the sect master, only by defeating Ye Xuan in public would he be able to obtain the approval of everyone present and convince them.
"Then let's have a match!"
Ye Xuan also spoke at this moment.
His goal was the Form Transformation Pill, and only the successor to the position of Sect Master would have the right to use it.
Therefore, no matter what, he had to succeed the position of Sect Master.
