Since Zhao Rimian had passed the trial and completed the mission, Chen Luoyang, as the master of the Star Palace, would not mistreat him.
Soon, Little Daoist Zhao was brought into the Star Palace by Chen Luoyang.
"You have passed the third trial. The reward is as follows." The deep and authoritative voice of the Star Palace master sounded.
A fruit appeared in front of Zhao Rimian.
His breathing quickened when he saw it and only calmed down after a while.
The Fruit of Benevolence was the treasure he needed the most.
This treasure was extremely rare in the mortal world. Most of it was in the hands of the three dynasties. Even Green Bull Temple and other Daoist sacred grounds lacked it.
This time, he gave Senior Martial Brother Qin Yumian a great merit, and Qin Yumian received the only remaining Fruit of Benevolence as a reward.
As for Zhao Rimian, with his original status and foundation, even if he took the merit of welcoming Taoist Half Sea to himself, he might not receive the Fruit of Benevolence.
But now, the treasure of his dreams was right in front of him.
This time, even with the support of his master and the 18th realm elder Li Qingyuan, he still did not have much confidence. In the end, he only won by a hair's breadth.
The biggest reason was that his current cultivation level was at the 14th realm, unlike Qin Yumian who was at the peak of the 15th realm. Emperor Wu's strength was not enough to convince the masses.
His success, other than the good momentum and potential he had shown recently, was also due to Li Qingyuan's support.
The person he replaced, Qin Yumian, was Li Qingyuan's direct disciple. Li Qingyuan had a lot of say in the new Master position.
The Green Bull Temple Head was not present, so the supervisor of the temple respected Li Qingyuan's opinion.
Zhao Rimian joined Li Qingyuan's faction. With Li Qingyuan's support, Little Daoist Zhao finally succeeded in becoming the Master Transformation.
However, his current position was not stable.
Countless eyes were staring at him, waiting to pick out his mistakes.
The current victory was only a temporary victory.
Li Qingyuan was also observing to see if Zhao Rimian had the potential.
But now, Little Daoist Zhao had an idea.
With the Star Palace Master's Benevolence Immortal Fruit, he had hope of reaching level 15 in a year and a half.
As long as he reached level 15, he would be able to stabilize his position as a Soul Transformation Master.
At the same time, with his current age, if he reached realm fifteen cultivation, he would definitely gain the favor of the elders of the sect, and they would put more effort into nurturing him.
The young Daoist priest heaved a sigh of relief. He was both excited and happy.
His previous judgment was correct.
The Master of the Star Palace was truly remarkable.
The Chong Ming Immortal Fruit and the Heaven Valley Essence Jade proved that the other party knew what he needed the most and had the ability to provide it.
As long as he could pass the trial set up by the Star Palace Master, the Star Palace Master would have everything he needed.
Zhao Rimian decisively befriended Qin Yumian and gave most of the credit to Qin Yumian. He successfully made friends with Qin Yumian's powerful backer, Li Qingyuan, so that he had a deeper foundation in the Green Bull Temple and a stronger background. In the end, he was able to take over Qin Yumian's position as the Master of the Green Bull Temple.
Now, in the "Star Palace", he had also successfully obtained the Immortal King of Benevolence that countless people in the Green Bull Monastery could not obtain. He had killed two birds with one stone and made a lot of money.
His three months of hard work had not been in vain.
Zhao Rimian put away the Immortal King of Benevolence and bowed to the dark void. "Thank you, Senior."
"There's no rush for the next trial. After you break through to the fifteenth level, it will be your fourth trial." Chen Luoyang said lightly in the tone of the Star Palace Master. "Make the best use of your time."
"Yes, Senior." Zhao Rimian replied. "I will work hard and not let you down. I will strive to break through to the fifteenth level as soon as possible."
Zhao Rimian did not feel relaxed after hearing that there were no more missions.
On the contrary, the passion in his heart was at an unprecedented high.
Before this, among the younger generation of the Green Bull Monastery, his status was not on par with Ye Canmian, Zhang Chunmian, Qin Yumian, and the others.
But now, he had successfully distinguished himself.
Although his cultivation was still weaker than the top few, the potential that he displayed had attracted the attention of more elders.
The Green Bull Monastery would devote more resources to nurture him. Gradually, he would be on par with Zhang Chunmian, Qin Yumian, and the others.
Little Daoist Zhao's future path would be even smoother.
Thus, he would receive more and more resources from the sect, forming a positive cycle.
This was the path that Ye Canmian and the other top few had taken.
Now, Zhao Rimian also had a chance.
But on the other hand, if there came a day when his ascension slowed down, the sect might adjust accordingly.
Although his foundation was far better than before, it was still weak.
Compared to never having it, losing it after gaining it was undoubtedly more depressing.
Little Daoist Zhao, who had finally entered the fast lane of life, was naturally unwilling to be pushed out again.
His gaze became calm, but there seemed to be a raging fire burning in the depths of his eyes.
No matter the reason, he had to break through to the fifteenth level as soon as possible …
After respectfully bidding farewell to the Star Palace Master, Zhao Rimian's figure disappeared under the dark starry sky.
Chen Luoyang's consciousness also retracted from the Star Palace.
Inside the Demon God Palace, the main altar of the Ancient God, he sat high up on the throne, his fingers lightly tapping on the armrest.
He had used the identity of "Wutong" to exchange for the Benevolent Immortal Fruit from Li Gucheng in the "treehouse", which was prepared for Zhao Rimian of the Green Bull Monastery.
This item was indeed rare, and the Ancient God did not have it in stock at the moment.
Chen Luoyang had not expected that Little Daoist Zhao and Prince Li Junior would come into contact with each other in the real world.
However, this did not affect the original arrangement. Zhao Rimian would definitely keep the matter of the Benevolent Immortal Fruit to himself and keep his mouth shut.
If he had not been able to obtain the Benevolent Immortal Fruit from the Star Palace Master, he might have thought of a way to privately contact the West Qin Prince Li Gucheng.
As for the change in Zhao Rimian's mentality, Chen Luoyang could roughly grasp it.
This was what he hoped for.
He was not afraid of ambitious people.
It was more troublesome when the other party had no desires.
Zhao Rimian could take his time and let Little Daoist Zhao focus on cultivation and prepare to break through to the fifteenth level.
The Green Bull Temple would be quiet for a long time to come.
Chen Luoyang wanted to order them around, but he had to be careful and help them cover up the truth that the Abbey Dean was not in the Mortal World.
For the time being, he would use his doppelganger, the Half Sea Taoist, to keep a distance from them.
Speaking of the Half Sea Taoist, he was also waiting for news from Yan Mingkong.
Like Zhao Rimian and Han Mei, Yan Mingkong was also cultivating in seclusion.
She had mastered the three styles of Hell Sword. She was about to break through to the sixteenth level and attempt to light up the Fire to break through to the Martial Sage Realm.
When she succeeded, her next move would definitely be to go to the Barbarian Land to find the whereabouts of Blood Night Rain and Jie Xingmang.
Before that, Chen Luoyang was not in a hurry.
If there was not enough time, he would ask the Half Sea Taoist to go with Yan Mingkong.
If there was enough time, he might go himself and simply exercise his muscles.
After Chen Luoyang taught everyone in the Palace of Gods and Demons and Liu Si who was secretly practicing martial arts, he returned to his quiet room and meditated with his legs crossed.
After a while, five black balls floated above Chen Luoyang's head.
They were heavy, dark, ominous, and ferocious.
They were like five big black suns, but also like five unfathomable bottomless abysses.
Chen Luoyang looked at the five "black suns" above his head and breathed in and out in Silence.
Then, he saw the sixth "black sun" slowly condensed and formed above his head, constantly developing and growing. In the end, it was on par with the previous five "black suns".
As he cultivated quietly, time passed quickly.
In the next few months, the Mortal World was much calmer and more peaceful than before.
Except for the turbulence within the Western Qin Dynasty, where the royal family, the Western Heaven, and the Bitter Sea were in constant conflict, the other places in the Mortal World were relatively peaceful.
Perhaps it was because the previous conflicts and bloodshed were too intense, and everyone needed time to recuperate.
Or perhaps it was because someone was not secretly stirring up trouble …
Someone was slowly accumulating, digesting and figuring out what he had learned before, and eliminating the hidden worries of the Sky-Stealing Sun-Changing Method.
After about half a year of peace, the undercurrent in the Mortal World surged again.
Chen Luoyang's doppelganger, Taoist Banhai, received a message from the "Female Emperor" Yan Mingkong, who had not been heard from for a long time.
She asked him about the specific whereabouts of Blood Night Rain and Jie Xingmang.
Chen Luoyang nodded slightly.
She had succeeded in transcending the mortal world and entering the Divine Realm.
If she could get Jie Xingmang's supreme sword, she might continue to advance triumphantly.
It was time to make the Mortal World lively again … Chen Luoyang smiled.
He, who had eliminated the consequences of the previous Sky-Stealing Method, could find a new target.
Chen Luoyang summoned Xie Buxiu, Su Wei, Zhang Tianheng, and other trusted subordinates.
"I will leave the headquarters for some time. You can do your jobs."
After listening to Chen Luoyang's words, Su Wei and the other two were a little surprised. "Hierarch, if you leave, the affairs in the sect …"
In the past half a year, the Mortal World was peaceful, but the Ancient God was not.
After the situation in the Mortal World gradually stabilized, Hierarch Jiang announced that he would go into seclusion.
Tang Yiming, Hong Biao, and the others were depressed because they could not persuade him.
After the Demonic God Palace recruited new people, Deputy Hierarch Chen's power and strength did not rise as violently as before, but it steadily rose step by step. Although slow, it did not have any intention of stopping, and it was unstoppable.
Fortunately, before Hierarch Jiang went into seclusion, he summoned Elder Du Qiming back to the headquarters to coordinate.
With this strong elder of the Ancient God in charge, the others more or less had some confidence to face Deputy Hierarch Chen, so the situation would not get out of hand.
But under the pressure of the past half a year, they kept losing ground, and the pressure was getting greater and greater.
At this time, if Chen Luoyang suddenly left, it was hard to guarantee that the other party would not fight back.
After all, the current shortcoming of Deputy Hierarch Chen's people was that after Chen Luoyang left, they lacked a second leader with sufficient qualifications and strength.
Seeing the hidden worry in Su Wei and Xie Buxiu's eyes, Chen Luoyang said indifferently, "It's best if someone jumps out."
