Qiong Hua?
Upon hearing this name, Wang Lu felt like it was like a thunderclap reverberating in his ears. In Nine Regions, there might be people who didn't know about Lingjian School, but there were not many people who didn't know about Qiong Hua.
As the lead disciple of Shengjing Sect, Qiong Hua had been dazzling ever since her debut. Everyone's eyes were focused on her. Not only because she was the last disciple of Hetu Daoren, but also a strong competitor for the next Sect Leader of Shengjing Sect, but also because she was as beautiful as a fairy, devastatingly beautiful.
In any place, beautiful women were more likely to catch people's eyes, not to mention a beautiful woman with a promising future and superb immortal method. Originally, Liu Li and Zhu Shiyao from Lingjian School and Zhou Mumu from Kunlun Sect all had similar characteristics. However, compared to Qiong Hua, each of them had their own defects.
Zhu Shiyao was unreasonable, losing her indifference; Liu Li was naive, losing her childishness; Zhou Mumu was outspoken, losing her impatience; each of them had their own defects. Qiong Hua, on the other hand, was mellow and free, perfect and flawless.
In any point, she was not the most outstanding. She never had the amazing record of killing the twelve Blood Cloud Demons when she was still in the Foundation Establishment Stage like Liu Li. Like Wang Lu, who repeatedly fought against the senior cultivators, cleverly used all the resources, and regarded the stage gap as nothing, she also never created a miracle. Zhu Shiyao was known to be invincible in the same stage, so she didn't dare to say that she could win. However, step by step, after nearly twenty years of cultivation, she had steadily stood on the stage of Daoist Master of King Pill.
Yes, Qiong Hua was already a Daoist Master of King Pill, which Wang Lu realized the moment he locked eyes with her. The threshold between the King Pill and the non- King Pill could be deep or shallow. For many mediocre people, achieving the King Pill was nothing more than advancing one level of magical power, nothing to worry about. However, for a few people, the stage before and after King Pill was completely different, and the gap between people before and after this threshold was even greater. When Wang Lu was in the Grand Cloud Mountain, he dared to take one or two moves from Tiger King of Yuanying Stage. However, even if he had the strength of peak Xudan Stage, he didn't dare to say that his Non-Phase Sword Defense would be foolproof in front of Qiong Hua.
For Qiong Hua to achieve the King Pill in twenty years, he didn't dare to say that it was unprecedented, but the speed was still amazingly fast. What was more frightening was that her foundation was solid. Once she succeeded in the King Pill, she would be reborn. In the past, people estimated that Qiong Hua's added value according to Wang Lu's method of adding value was about fourteen or fifteen, which was close to Liu Li. However, now, Liu Li, who hadn't passed the King Pill test, no longer had the qualification to compete with her.
In addition, what Wang Lu cared about the most was that pair of eyes that seemed to be able to speak. At her Master's request, Qiong Hua got up and left. Her eyes only met with Wang Lu's for a moment, but Wang Lu seemed to hear Qiong Hua's gentle voice in his ear.
"I've long heard of your reputation. Today, I finally know that your reputation is not in vain. I'm looking forward to your report. "
Her courteous attitude greatly changed Wang Lu's impression of Qiong Hua. Before this, he had never met Qiong Hua, but he had long heard of her reputation. People said that she was modest and courteous, gentle and elegant, like a flower on a high mountain. However, according to the news and public opinion, especially the usual practice of Shengjing Sect, Wang Lu automatically analyzed her as being pretentious and sanctimonious. However, at this time, he found out that his previous thinking was biased. Qiong Hua, this person, seemed to have her own way of doing things. She was not the exquisite packaging product of Shengjing Sect's huge propaganda organization.
However, Wang Lu didn't have the time to consider Qiong Hua. At this time, on the golden platform, the sect leaders had taken their seats one by one. He Tu, Zhuri, Tian Lun, Kuqin, and Feng Yin were all sitting on the golden platform in the middle. On both sides were the leaders of Wanxiang, Flowing Cloud, and other top rank sects. As for the lead disciples of the sects like Zhan Ziye and Zhou Mumu, they usually only had to wait behind their sect's elders and had no qualification to sit. However, under the guidance of his Uncle Fang He and Master Wang Wu, Wang Lu took his seat on the left side of the golden platform. According to the order, it was actually second only to the sect leaders of the Five Uniques!
As Wang Lu sat down, his Master quietly explained everything to him from behind.
That day, after the sect leader got the key from Wang Lu, he immediately returned to Nine Regions. After that, the Excavation Management and the Wanxian League conducted a comprehensive inspection of the key to ensure that nothing went wrong, and on the other hand, they prepared for today's ceremony. For this group of immortal tombs, the Excavation Management and even the entire Wanxian League worked hard for several years without any results. Now that they finally saw the dawn of victory, they were overjoyed. The scale of the ceremony was comparable to the Wanxian League's Ten Thousand Immortals Meeting, which was held once in decades.
There were three main items on the agenda of the ceremony. The first was the speech by the leader of the Wanxian League, Supreme He Tu, followed by the speech by the director of the Excavation Management, Feng Yin. Considering the identity of these two people, their speech was an essential procedure. The third item was more surprising: the Wanxian League actually arranged for Wang Lu to give a speech as the recipient of the outstanding contribution award!
"Actually, there's nothing surprising about it."
Wang Wu, who was standing behind her disciple, said rather mockingly, "Think about it carefully, what have these people from the Wanxian League and the Excavation Management done in the past few months? They spent a huge amount of money to cross the ocean, not for trade nor for colonization, but for the key to the group of immortal tombs. However, in addition to killing the local natives in the Western Continent, causing both sides to suffer, have they ever achieved any practical and effective results? You saw Golden King, and you took the key. From the beginning to the end, it has nothing to do with them. If you didn't stay in the Western Continent for another month, giving the Wanxian League and the Excavation Management more or less time to paint their faces, this whole action would simply be a farce. This opening ceremony should summarize the achievements of the past few months and even the past few years, but without you, what else could they summarize? To summarize how bloated and incompetent their own bureaucracy is? "
"Hahaha, if that's the case, then it's true that they can't do without me. But, this is strange. Since my importance is so irreplaceable, what kind of ability does Qiong Hua have that she could be my substitute and sit here?"
"Her? Apart from you, she is the biggest contributor to the Excavation Management's Western Expedition. Do you remember the situation that I told you before? When Sect Leader Senior Brother went to the knowledge city alone to look for clues about the key to the group of immortal tombs, it was not only to get rid of Tian Yue, but also because Senior Brother really needed strong evidence to prove that the key to the group of immortal tombs is in the King's Treasure House. As the person in charge of the Excavation Management, he was actually suffering from the bloated bureaucracy, so he could not act arbitrarily like you. Any decision must have sufficient basis. Even if on the second day after he set foot in the Western Continent, he already had sixty to seventy percent certainty that the key was in the Treasure House, he still had to look for clues. However, with his IQ and foreign language ability, in an environment where there was no language barrier, looking for clues in thousands of libraries was more difficult than looking for a wife. At that time, it was Qiong Hua who helped him that he was finally able to synthesize the clues from thousands of documents. "
Wang Lu said in surprise, "Qiong Hua?"
"Yes, it's Qiong Hua. She went alone and entered the knowledge city earlier than anyone else to start the investigation. In addition to locating the key to the group of immortal tombs, she also helped to sort out the information of the several Holy Ones of Holy Light Religion, analyzing their weaknesses from countless clues. Mad Dog Tian Yue and Sect Leader Senior Brother were able to suppress the legendary Holy Ones of Holy Light Religion, and the information that Qiong Hua sorted out is indispensable. "
Wang Lu sighed with emotion. "Unexpectedly, she's actually an academic talent! You really can't judge a book by its cover. I thought that she, that kind of high mountain flower, was most suitable to play the role of * * * or something like that … Well, let's put aside Qiong Hua's problem for the time being. The point is, you arranged me to speak without my consent, but I haven't … "
Before he could finish his words, Wang Wu handed him a thick draft of the speech.
"You don't need to prepare it. Just read it according to this, don't miss a single word." Wang Wu lightly said, "Don't worry, this is the result of three days and three nights of painstaking effort by the drafting team set up by the Excavation Management. Before transcribing it, they also specially proofread it three times, ensuring that every word is carefully chosen, every word is a gem …"
The more Wang Lu listened, the more mysterious he felt. However, before he could open it to take a closer look, a soft but irresistible force spread out not far from him. Like a spring breeze, it powerfully attracted his attention from the draft in his hand.
"Fellow daoists, the opening ceremony of the group of immortal tombs officially begins now."
The one who spoke was Feng Yin Daoist Master, who was on the left side of the golden platform, who was also the host of the ceremony. The voice of the Sect Leader of Lingjian School was neither fast nor slow, flat and light. However, the moment he opened his mouth, the slightly noisy grassland suddenly became silent. Everyone restrained their voice and focused on one thing.
Thousands of pairs of eyes gathered on the golden platform, waiting for Feng Yin Daoist Master's next words with a pious posture. Of course, behind this pious posture, no one knew how many people secretly cursed the despicable and shameless bureaucrats of the Wanxian League. This kind of attention-grabbing spell, which forced people to listen carefully, was the product of thousands of years of bureaucratic culture of the Wanxian League. Its origin was no longer reliable, and for thousands of years, people gnashed their teeth in hatred. However, it was still tenacious. Whenever an important leader gave a speech, this spell would be used, which forced the people below to not even be able to doze off.
Fortunately, Feng Yin Daoist Master's opening remarks were very short. After two or three sentences, he entered the first agenda item.
"Next, the Wanxian League's leader, Hetu Daoren, will give a speech."
During the short period of time, the spell was lifted. Wang Lu didn't want to waste time, so he lowered his head to look at the draft. At first glance, he couldn't wait to slap the table and stand up.
Because at first glance, Wang Lu saw that the title of his speech was actually: Report on the task of searching for things in the Western Continent. The first sentence under the title was: In order to thoroughly implement the spirit of the one hundred and seventh general assembly of the Wanxian League, earnestly do a good job in the excavation and management of the group of immortal tombs, and earnestly look for the key to open the group of immortal tombs. Our team is closely united around the Excavation Management Committee with Feng Yin Daoist Master as the core. We firmly grasp the key points of the work determined in the first working meeting of the Excavation Management Committee, and earnestly carry out the work. Now the relevant situation is reported as follows: First, careful preparation and thorough deployment...
"What the f * ck is this?" Wang Lu couldn't wait to burn the book on the spot. Unfortunately, just as he was about to flip out, Hetu Daoren opened his mouth.
Filled with anger, he could only endure it.
