Chapter 83

On the top of Lanling Peak, Li Jianshu and Meiyan stood in an open space and gazed into the distance. Li Jianshu murmured, "It should be about time."

Suddenly, a sharp cry came from afar. A smile finally appeared on his face and he said, "It's coming!"

A moment later, a black dot appeared in his eyes and gradually enlarged. Finally, he saw clearly what was coming. It was a demonic beast that looked like a mountain eagle!

The demonic beast was several times the size of an ordinary mountain eagle. Its wingspan was ten meters, covering the sky and the sun. It was very majestic.

The beast did not attack Li Jianshu and Meiyan. Instead, it flapped its wings and stopped in front of Li Jianshu. It even neighed like a human, as if it was greeting him.

Li Jianshu lowered his head to look at its claws. There was a letter wrapped around it. He stooped down and took down the letter. He opened it and said, "As expected, the time has been set?"

"When is it?" Meiyan, who was standing behind him, asked.

"Read it yourself." Li Jianshu handed the letter to her.

"Three months later?"

"Yes, we have to hurry. We have to gather all the elite disciples to the Misty Wind Sect."

"Okay."

Li Jianshu took out another letter from his Qiankun Pouch and tied it to the demonic beast's leg.

Meiyan said, "Speaking of which, this Gale Eagle is really fast. It's really convenient to send messages. It would be great if our sect also had such a spirit beast."

It turned out that demonic beasts could be tamed by humans. Tamed demonic beasts were called spirit beasts by warriors. Of course, the more powerful the demonic beast, the harder it was to be tamed.

Li Jianshu smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, don't joke. The Gale Eagle is a third rank spirit beast. Our sect doesn't have the ability to tame it. Moreover, it takes a lot of resources to raise it. We can't afford it. Only mid-sized sects like the Misty Wind Sect would rear them. "

Meiyan also came to her senses. She knew that she had said something unrealistic and immediately stopped talking.

"Gale Eagle, go!" Li Jianshu said to the spirit beast.

The Gale Eagle seemed to understand his words. It turned around and soared into the sky, flying into the distance. In a short while, it disappeared from the duo's sight.

Later on the same day, almost all the elite disciples' jade identification cards began to tremble and make a crisp sound. This was a summon notice from the sect, asking all the elite disciples to return to the sect immediately.

When Zhan Chen received the notification, he was at the most critical stage of his training. In front of him was a pile of scrap metal.

At first, he was excited about the fact that the strength of the Formless Golden Body Formula could be enhanced. However, he could not be happy very soon, because after the Sharp Metal Qi from the few forging materials entered his body, Zhan Chen found that it was far from his body's limit.

So he had no choice but to go to Shannan Town to buy more, but later he gradually discovered that his own body was like a bottomless pit, it needed a large amount of Metal Qi, and even after going back and forth several times to buy refining materials, it was still not enough to feed it.

Now, he felt that his body was about to reach its limit, but his Primordial Stones had just been used up and he had to exchange them for the last few pieces of metal.

Now, Zhan Chen felt that his body was about to reach its limit. However, his primordial stones had just been used up, and he had to exchange them for the last few pieces of metal.

"If we don't succeed, there will be trouble." Looking at the weapons in his hand, a trace of helplessness flashed across his eyes, but he quickly adjusted his mentality, grabbed one of them and began to circulate the Art of Golden Body …

A few days later, Zhan Chen slowly opened his eyes. A victorious smile appeared on his lips. He had just succeeded! The sharp metal energy in his body was finally filled up again.

Looking at the remaining scrap iron in his hand, he could not help but reveal a wry smile. The Art of Formless Golden Body looked very powerful, but if he did not have money, he really could not afford to practice it. Every time he advanced a level, the amount of Metal Qi required would increase exponentially.

"If I were to break through to the rank of a Martial Honor, how many weapon crafting materials would I need to absorb in order to fill my body?" The thought suddenly popped into his mind and his body shivered.

"Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time," Zhan Chen murmured.

He stood up and stretched his stiff body. Only then did he realize that the identity jade token on his waist was making a melodious sound. A strange look flashed in his eyes. "This is the order from the sect. Is something going to happen in the sect?"

Carrying a curious attitude, he walked out of his courtyard and came to the sect's affairs office. He asked the disciple on duty, "I've received an urgent order from the sect. Is there something going to happen in the sect?"

Seeing that it was Zhan Chen who personally came to ask him, the disciple hurriedly said respectfully, "Senior Brother Zhan, it's like this. Our sect is gathering all of our elite disciples on the fifteenth of next month at the mountain gate. We'll set off for the Misty Wind Sect."

"Misty Wind Sect? Is it the only medium-sized sect in our Hou Yan Kingdom? "

"That's right. Senior Brother, I heard that you're going to participate in the Misty Wind Grand Ceremony. Good luck!"

"Misty Wind Grand Ceremony?"

Zhan Chen's heart was still a little confused.

"The Misty Wind Grand Ceremony is a grand ceremony for our Golden Elephant Sect and four other small sects in the Hou Yan Kingdom: Flowing Water Sect, Fire Cloud Sect, Yellow Hill Sect, and Rejuvenation Sect. It's said that it only happens once every twenty years!"

"I've also heard that this Misty Wind Grand Ceremony is directly related to the opening of the Zhen Wu Secret Territory."

"Oh, the Zhen Wu Secret Territory also opens once every twenty years?" Zhan Chen asked curiously.

"Yes, but I'm not too sure about the specifics."

Zhan Chen silently nodded and said, "Alright, I understand."

After leaving the consultation office, Zhan Chen returned to his home to wait. On the fifteenth day of the second month, he arrived at the mountain gate according to the time schedule. At this time, there was already a sea of people. Not only were there many inner and outer sect disciples of the Golden Elephant Sect waiting there, even many nearby residents also came to watch. The momentum was as if they were sending off an expeditionary force.

Li Jianshu personally led the group and stood in the middle, waiting for all the elite disciples to arrive. When he saw Zhan Chen, he signaled him.

Zhan Chen didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly stood in the middle of the group. In a short while, all twenty elite disciples had arrived, without a single one missing.

At this time, Li Jianshu stood in front of everyone and loudly said, "Fellow elite disciples, next we will go on an expedition to the Misty Wind Sect and participate in the Misty Wind Grand Ceremony that is held once every twenty years."

"This grand ceremony is very important, it's a time to demonstrate our strength. When the time comes, we will compete with four other small sects on the same stage. The winners will obtain an additional quota to enter the Zhen Wu Secret Territory. This is very crucial to enhancing the overall strength of our sect, and it will also have an extremely profound impact on everyone's future development."

"Therefore, I want you all to do your best. Of course, I will also reward the outstanding disciples in the grand ceremony!"

"Alright, without further ado, let's set off!" Finished speaking, he turned around and walked forward, the group of elite disciples closely followed behind him.

"Congratulations to Sect Master and Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters for a triumphant return!" At this time, the entire audience resounded with thunderous cheers.

Listening to this wave of support, even the usually calm Zhan Chen's heart surged with excitement. He couldn't help but clench his fists, "Misty Wind Sect, here I come!"
