After landing, Venerable White waved his hand at the others, and said, "Oh? Song Shuhang, Little Sixteen, Fellow Daoist Lychee, sorry to keep you waiting."
Then, he took out his mobile phone, and said to Song Shuhang and Shiliu, "Song Shuhang, Little Sixteen told me earlier that he had something important to tell me. Is it the same message you guys sent in the Nine Provinces Number One Group?"
"Yes, it's this matter," Song Shuhang said with a nod.
Since Venerable White had seen the message in the Nine Provinces Number One Group, there was no need for him to explain further. At the same time, he shot a glance at the Eternal Fire Zhenjun standing behind Venerable White. Since this True Monarch of the scholarly faction and Senior White had come together, he should also know about this matter, right?
Venerable White said, "Since this matter is related to the White Cloud Academy, I told Fellow Daoist Eternal Fire about it."
The Eternal Fire Zhenjun bowed toward Song Shuhang, and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shuhang, for the information."
Song Shuhang returned the bow. From the looks of it, the Eternal Fire Zhenjun wasn't surprised that the demons of the Netherworld were going to attack. From the looks of it, the scholarly faction was already prepared for this matter. Perhaps what Yellow Mountain Zhenjun said wasn't wrong. The White Cloud Academy wasn't weak.
But right at this time, the nearby Fairy Lychee used the group secret sound transmission technique to ask, "Fellow Daoist Eternal Fire, it seems you already knew that the Netherworld Realm was going to attack the White Cloud Academy?"
The Eternal Fire Zhenjun shook his head, and also used the secret sound transmission technique to reply, "I just learned about this matter from Fellow Daoist White. However, our White Cloud Academy, or rather, our scholarly faction, has been guarding against the attacks of the Netherworld Realm for several hundred years. After all, the Netherworld Realm has always taken special care of our scholarly faction. Whenever our scholarly faction shows signs of reviving, the demons of the Netherworld Realm arrive on time. "
Fairy Lychee lightly nodded. She also understood the history of the Confucian school. For thousands of years … or even longer, the scholarly faction had been suppressed by the Netherworld Realm, and their tradition had almost been wiped out several times.
Although the demons of the Netherworld Realm were the common enemies of all cultivators and practitioners of other systems, only the cultivators of the scholarly faction had a particularly extreme relationship with the Netherworld Realm.
Both of them were truly irreconcilable enemies.
…
…
After that, Eternal Fire Zhenjun invited everyone to his place for a gathering. After all, the square wasn't a place to discuss confidential matters.
Along the way, the Eternal Fire Zhenjun explained to the crowd in a neither fast nor slow manner, "Actually, every time our scholarly faction holds a 'distinguished meeting', we always make preparations to face the attacks of the Netherworld Realm. During each 'distinguished meeting', we would always fight and wait for the demons of the Netherworld Realm to arrive. Fellow Daoist White, you should have noticed this already. "
Song Shuhang curiously looked at Venerable White. The White Cloud City was bustling with people coming and going, but he didn't see any signs that the scholarly faction was preparing for war.
"Hmm, I noticed something interesting while I was racing on the flying sword." Venerable White stroked the long hair next to his ear, and explained, "This time, I was racing on the flying sword for close to an hour. During this time, I discovered that more than three-quarters of the cultivators of the scholarly faction flying in the sky weren't in a hurry. Instead, they were patrolling and keeping their guard up. In addition, I discovered that one-third of the fellow daoists of the other sects riding flying swords in the sky were half-combat puppets of the Jet-Black Sect. In addition, they had pretty good illusory formations covering their bodies. Even I had to get in close contact with them several times over the course of an hour to discover that there was something strange about them. It was a very realistic illusory formation. It's the work of a cultivator at the peak of the Seventh Stage Spiritual Venerable Realm … or perhaps even the work of the Eighth Stage Xu Ansheng? "
"Fellow Daoist White's guess is correct. This formation was left behind by a senior of the Eighth Stage Xu Ansheng when he was still alive. Unfortunately, we, the later generations of the scholarly faction, are unable to perfectly control the formation he left behind," the Eternal Fire Zhenjun said regretfully.
Song Shuhang looked around, not daring to believe what he was seeing.
Most of the cultivators flying past him on swords, sabers, and magical treasures were patrolling cultivators of the scholarly faction? And one-third of them were battle-type puppets of the Jet-Black Sect?
The patrolling cultivators of the scholarly faction were all 'acting emperors', and it was impossible to tell that they were patrolling.
But after thinking about it, it made sense … the scholarly faction would conduct such a thing once every three years, and they had been preparing for it for several hundred years, or even more than a thousand years.
"No wonder they limited the number of people flying in the sky above the White Cloud City. Are they trying to limit the number of cultivators flying in the sky?" Song Shuhang said.
The Eternal Fire Zhenjun forced a smile and nodded his head, wearing an enigmatic expression on his face.
"As expected of the cultivators of the scholarly faction. They're using the world as a chess piece!" Song Shuhang sighed with emotion. The scholarly faction was indeed impressive. At this moment, he felt like immediately joining the scholarly faction.
The Eternal Fire Zhenjun maintained his smile, wearing an enigmatic expression on his face.
Fairy Lychee pondered for a short moment, and then asked, "What if the fellow daoists that came to watch the battle between your scholarly faction and the Netherworld Realm start? If you don't handle it well, your White Cloud Academy might end up in a civil war. "
"Actually, the majority of the fellow daoists that came to watch the battle this year are allies of our White Cloud Academy. In addition, we've already set up secret passages in the White Cloud City to retreat. Once the battle starts, we can guide the fellow daoists that want to leave through these secret passages, "the Eternal Fire Zhenjun explained with a smile.
The scholarly faction had been preparing this plan for a thousand years, perhaps even longer. They had already prepared a solution to all the problems that they could think of.
"Only retreat? That's a pity. If we can make good use of it, the fellow daoists that came to watch the battle will become a powerful force, "Fairy Lychee said with narrowed eyes.
Fairy Lychee's words seemed to imply something.
"Ahaha, Fellow Daoist Lychee is right." The Eternal Fire Zhenjun laughed, and said, "Actually, our White Cloud Academy has also prepared a plan for the fellow daoists that are willing to stay behind and help. In other words, it's an interesting activity. "
Just as they were discussing, the group arrived at the immortal cave of the Eternal Fire Zhenjun.
The Eternal Fire Zhenjun guided the group inside the immortal cave, and then continued, "Fellow Daoists, have you heard of the seeds of the Virtuous Golden Lotus?"
Venerable White held his chin, and said, "I have an impression of it, but I can't remember the details." However, he had obtained many treasures in his life, and even he himself couldn't remember how many treasures he had in his treasury.
Fairy Lychee pondered for a moment, and then said, "Is it that golden lotus seed that will allow a cultivator to awaken a 'special skill' with a 100% success rate and extend their lifespan by fifty years after eating it?"
There were all kinds of strange treasures in the world of cultivators.
Fairy Lychee had once heard of a 'golden lotus seed'. As long as a cultivator of the Second Stage or above had condensed their true qi, they would awaken a 'special skill' after eating it.
There was a 100% success rate, but what kind of 'special skill' they would awaken would depend on their luck. Some people could awaken a skill with extremely high offensive power, comparable to powerful magical techniques. Some people could awaken enviable auxiliary skills, such as regrowing lost limbs or quickly healing wounds. There were also some people who could awaken a godly flying skill, achieving their dream of flying before reaching the Fourth Stage.
However, more than half of the people could awaken a skill that would make one's balls hurt. Things like regrowing teeth, making one's tongue lengthened freely, changing the color of one's nails into various colors, controlling the growth of one's body hair …
As for what kind of skill one would awaken, it all depended on one's luck.
Moreover, the awakened skill could be continuously strengthened through practice. Alternatively, one could continuously use the 'golden lotus seed' to strengthen the awakened skill.
For example, if someone awakened an ordinary fire magical technique. Through continuous practice, they could slowly increase the power of this fire magical technique.
At the same time, if they had a lot of 'golden lotus seeds', they could obtain a Third Stage or even a Fourth Stage fire magical technique when they were still in the Second Stage Realm.
Apart from that … the golden lotus seed could extend one's lifespan by fifty years, and it could also be regarded as a precious life-extending medicinal pill. However, it was only effective for the first time.
"It's exactly this kind of lotus seed, but it's actually the seed of the Virtuous Golden Lotus," Eternal Fire Zhenjun said unhurriedly.
"Oh, I remember now. I indeed obtained this kind of lotus seed in the past. "Venerable White's eyes lit up as he said.
Senior White obtained this kind of lotus seed in the past? Then, with his unparalleled luck, what kind of terrifying 'special skill' would he obtain?
Song Shuhang curiously asked, "Senior White, what kind of skill did you obtain?"
"Well, I didn't eat it myself." Venerable White recalled, "At that time, I felt that I already had enough magical techniques and innate skills, and there was no need to obtain any more special skills. So, I fed it to a very cute little bird that I used to raise. "
Song Shuhang: "…"
Fairy Lychee: "…"
Su Clan's Shiliu: "…"
Eternal Fire Zhenjun felt like crying.
Venerable White said, "Haha, that lotus seed was really not bad. At that time, the little bird that I raised awakened the innate skill of 'human speech'. It was just an ordinary little bird, but it was able to open its mouth and speak. "
"What happened next?" Song Shuhang curiously asked. After Venerable White came out of secluded meditation, he didn't see that little bird he was raising.
"Of course it died. Since it was just an ordinary little bird, even if the lotus seed could extend its lifespan, it still died after fifty years," Venerable White said.
Song Shuhang: "…"
What a wastrel … Senior White, Taibai Clan!
"Cough, cough." Eternal Fire Zhenjun felt that his throat was very itchy, and he couldn't help but cough.
Fairy Lychee sighed and asked, "Fellow Daoist Eternal Fire, is the interesting activity that your White Cloud Academy is holding related to the seed of the Virtuous Golden Lotus?"
