The old Taoist turned to look at his disciple, Zhao Rimian.
Taoist Half Sea's words reached the ears of the master and disciple. Letting Zhao Rimian be the middleman was equivalent to giving Zhao Rimian a meritorious service, allowing him to take on an important task.
Perhaps this was also a form of compensation for attacking Young Taoist Zhao.
Zhao Rimian did not speak. He stood there in Silence, as if everything was decided by his master.
The old Taoist bowed to Taoist Half Sea. "It is my disciple's honor to have your trust. However, my disciple is young and inexperienced, and his cultivation base is still low. I'm afraid he won't be able to take on such an important task. If you don't mind, our monastery's master, Martial Nephew Qin Yumian, will recommend you. I believe it will be more suitable."
Taoist Half Sea smiled. "Green Ox Monastery's esteemed disciples are trustworthy. I have no objections, as long as you discuss it among yourselves."
As he spoke, he handed a talisman to them. "If that's the case, please take this talisman back to your sect's Fellow Taoist Qin. If you need anything, use this talisman to contact me."
"Of course, of course." The old Taoist took the talisman. Zhao Rimian also bowed to Taoist Half Sea.
Taoist Half Sea said, "If that's the case, let's part ways today. Please stay and send my regards to Monastery Master Yu and Fellow Taoist Li Qingyuan."
With that, he floated away.
The old Taoist and Zhao Rimian looked at each other.
In the next moment, two silhouettes appeared soundlessly in front of them like wisps of smoke, standing in the place where Taoist Banhai was just now.
One of them was naturally Prince Li Junior.
The other was a middle-aged Taoist. He was one of Green Ox Monastery's top elders. He was a level-18 Taoist powerhouse, 'Hidden God Hand' Li Qingyuan.
Li Qingyuan looked in the direction Taoist Half Sea disappeared in silence for a long time.
The other three stood at the side, silent as well.
After a while, Li Qingyuan turned to Prince Li Junior and asked, "You saw him attack just now. Did you notice anything about his Dragon Emperor's Sky Peak's cultivation base?"
Among everyone, Li Gucheng's expression was the most solemn.
Slowly, he said, "To tell you the truth, the saber intent in it is not as pure as the original Dragon Emperor's Sky Edge. It is more like my father's improved version."
Li Qingyuan nodded his head slightly. "Young Prince's eyes are like a torch. We can slowly observe him in the future. However, I will have to trouble you to suppress your anger for the time being."
Prince Li Junior also looked in the direction where the sloppy daoist priest had disappeared. "What are you talking about, Daoist priest? When he tried to assassinate me that day, it was clear that he had shown mercy. Otherwise, I would have died long ago.
Compared to the anger and hatred of being injured by him, I am more curious about his true identity and true purpose. "
"Little Prince is far-sighted and broad-minded. You won't be swayed by a moment of anger. Your future will definitely be limitless." The old Daoist praised.
Li Gucheng replied, "You flatter me, I don't deserve your praise."
The old Taoist shook his head. "Little Prince, you are too humble. The Qin royal family needs a calm and wise person like you."
Li Gucheng said, "I only wish for the country to prosper and the people to live in peace."
"May the Great Qin Nation prosper and its people live in peace." The three Daoists nodded and said.
Li Gucheng thanked them once again.
The old Taoist said to Zhao Rimian, "Rimian, make another trip to the Qin Nation and escort the young prince back to Zhengyang."
The young Daoist respectfully said, "Yes, Master."
After Prince Li Junior and Daoist priest Zhao left, the old Taoist turned to Li Qingyuan. "That Banhai fellow actually knew that it was Junior Brother Li who was hiding there?"
Before leaving, the sloppy daoist asked the old Taoist, Zhao Rimian, and his disciple to greet the masters of the Green Bull Monastery.
It was not surprising that the Green Bull Monastery was mentioned. However, he specifically mentioned "Hidden God Hand" Li Qingyuan instead of a third person. It was obvious that he had already seen through Li Qingyuan's whereabouts.
"This Fellow Daoist Banhai is indeed unfathomable." Li Qingyuan Slowly said, "His cultivation is also strange and unpredictable. It is hard to determine his background. Fortunately, we are not enemies at the moment. It is not impossible to win him over."
The old Taoist looked in the direction of the Western Qin Dynasty. "Do you think he is …"
"According to the young prince of the Western Qin, when the remnant soul of the Qin Emperor showed up in the Yongyue Mountain Range, this Banhai fellow also showed up. They seem to be two different people." Li Qingyuan said, "But his Dragon Emperor's Sky Edge does seem to be the direct descendant of Li Ce, the Western Qin Emperor, and it is even purer than the princes of the Western Qin. The relationship between them needs further investigation. It is not appropriate to make a conclusion so early."
The old Taoist nodded.
After all, the Green Bull Monastery's master was forced to leave the mortal world. At present, there was no giant expert in the Martial Venerable Realm in the monastery.
Otherwise, they would not have to be so careful.
However, in front of outsiders, they had to pretend to be fat at their own cost and hide the fact that the Abbey Dean was not there.
Therefore, they had to take care of some things that should be taken care of. They could not keep a low profile and close the mountain. Otherwise, everyone would know that they were strong in appearance but weak in reality.
At that time, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty would pressure them to the point that they could not breathe.
It was a pity that the Abbey Dean was not there after all.
There were some matters that required a lot of thought and effort to control.
"But anyway, it is a good thing to have such a surprise in the Western Qin Dynasty." The old Taoist sighed. "The situation in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is getting more and more difficult."
Her Majesty was growing too fast and too fierce.
She was capricious and reckless, full of hostility to the Green Bull Monastery.
A few years ago, the situation of the Green Bull Monastery in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had been completely reversed.
Now that the Abbey Dean was not there, the days of the Green Bull Monastery naturally became more and more difficult.
Fortunately, the Empress was busy guarding the Sky River Sword Immortal and did not make any big moves to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Otherwise, once she came to the Green Bull Mountain on a whim, the fact that the Abbey Dean was not there would immediately be known to the world, and the Green Bull Monastery would not be able to hold on.
"We still have to be careful. The situation in the Western Qin is very chaotic now." Li Qingyuan said, "It was not easy for our monastery to get out of the Western Qin Dynasty. We have to avoid falling into it again in a short time."
The old Taoist nodded. "Maybe, this Banhai fellow can give us more surprises."
"I hope so." Li Qingyuan said, "At the moment, the most important thing is to have a new pillar emerge as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will always be under the control of others like walking on thin ice."
Hearing that, the old Taoist looked at Li Qingyuan. "Junior Brother Li, you …"
Li Qingyuan gently shook his head and sighed. "You and I have lost our drive, and our qi and blood have declined. Without special opportunities, it will be difficult for us to move forward. The young people are more hopeful."
The old Taoist nodded silently.
He was in the Seventeenth Realm, and it was hard to say whether he could reach the Eighteenth Realm.
Li Qingyuan was in the Eighteenth Realm, but there was little hope for him to become a giant in the Martial Venerable Realm, even though he was still young compared to his lifespan.
But Li Qingyuan had been in the Eighteenth Realm for nearly a hundred years.
For the martial arts practitioners who paid attention to advancing bravely and vigorously, it was too difficult to start again and continue to move forward once they stopped …
The hope still lay in the real young people.
But they still needed time.
The two Taoist elders looked at each other and let out a long sigh.
After sighing, Li Qingyuan's expression quickly returned to normal. He said to the old Taoist, "I have to congratulate Senior Brother for getting such a good disciple. Although young, he is calm and capable. He is a promising talent."
"Rimian is still very young and needs more training." The old Taoist smiled. "Junior Brother Li, please give him some pointers."
…
Chen Luoyang's Banhai Taoist clone left Flaming Moon Valley and disappeared from the mortal world.
He looked back in the direction of Flaming Moon Valley and smiled.
"Hidden God Hand" Li Qingyuan, who once came with Ye Canmian to help Chen Luoyang quell Zheng Chi's rebellion, could be considered an old acquaintance.
It was the White Jade Bottle that could confirm that Li Qingyuan was hiding nearby.
Whether it was checking on Zhao Rimian or Li Gucheng, they could clearly see that Li Qingyuan traveled with them and secretly protected them to Flaming Moon Valley.
This old man was one of the most powerful elders in Green Bull Temple. His words carried a lot of weight.
One of the five lords of Green Bull Temple, Master Transformation Qin Yumian, was Li Qingyuan's personal disciple.
He was also the backing that Zhao Rimian was fighting for.
Zhao Rimian's own master, the old Taoist, was also an elder of Green Bull Temple. However, compared to Li Qingyuan, he was undoubtedly inferior in both strength and prestige.
Zhao Rimian gave the main credit of receiving Banhai Taoist to Qin Yumian. Li Qingyuan would not mistreat him.
Young Taoist Master Zhao gradually showed more outstanding talent and potential. Li Qingyuan would naturally take care of and nurture him, drawing the old Taoist and Zhao Rimian to his side.
One of the direct effects of the absence of the Green Bull Temple's Head was that the division of hills in Green Bull Temple was more obvious than before.
Taoist Banhai, who had mastered the Dragon Emperor's Sky Sword and was at least a Martial Saint with unfathomable power, would become the new support of the temple. With Qin Yumian's contribution, Li Qingyuan would be able to fight for better treatment and a higher position for him.
Young Taoist Master Zhao, who helped Qin Yumian, also had the chance to take over the position of Master Transformation.
Of course, having a chance did not mean that he would definitely succeed.
Many people were eyeing the position that Qin Yumian had vacated.
Competitors with confidence naturally had their own reasons to rely on.
The final winner of the position of Master Transformation depended on the outcome of the competition.
However, other than his own master, Zhao Rimian, who had Li Qingyuan's help, could be said to be one of the most popular candidates.
After going through a lot of trouble and going around in circles, Young Taoist Master Zhao finally saw the light of hope.
Chen Luoyang almost wanted to thank him for his hard work.
Next, he would use Banhai Taoist's clone to deal with Qin Yumian, Zhao Rimian, and Green Bull Temple at a distance.
It was best for both sides to restrain themselves and control the distance.
The time limit of three months that the Star Palace Master gave Zhao Rimian was about to expire.
One day, Chen Luoyang had a thought. The "star" that represented Zhao Rimian in the Star Palace emitted a black aura, signifying that he had completed his mission.
He checked the information in the white jade bottle. Indeed, Young Taoist Master Zhao had succeeded in becoming one of the five heads of Green Bull Temple.
