Chapter 311 Senior Brother Zhang, please don’t be too outrageous!
Li Xiuchang may not be well-known outside, but he is a celebrity in Xianchen Sect.
Most of the disciples of Xianchen Sect know him.
Therefore, when walking on the road, people come up to greet him and congratulate him from time to time.
Li Xiuchang also wondered why the news spread so quickly?
It was estimated that half a month had passed since he reached the top of the Heavenly Steps, and he was not surprised that the news spread back to Xianchen Sect.
What surprised him was that the news seemed to be known to everyone.
After asking, he found out that it was the Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce that helped their president to promote it!
After all, this is such a good opportunity to advertise!
Then, Xianchen Sect also promoted it in the sect.
This is not difficult to understand. It is such a proud thing for their outer disciples to break other people's records outside!
Therefore, this matter has become the focus of recent discussions both inside and outside Xianchen Sect, and Li Xiuchang, the outer disciple, has become famous again.
Li Xiuchang was helpless. As expected, pretending to be cool all the time will cause endless troubles.
He should have learned a lesson from Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi!
Later, the senior leaders of Xianchen Sect will also ask him all kinds of questions. This is the consequence of pretending to be powerful.
Maybe they will recruit him into the inner gate again!
Li Xiuchang had a headache. He did not return to Donggeng District immediately, but went straight to the inner gate to find Elder Xu.
Trouble cannot be avoided, it is better to solve it first.
Li Xiuchang went straight to Elder Xu's office. As expected, when he saw him, Elder Xu smiled:
"Oh, the great genius of my Xianchen Sect is back!"
"Elder, please stop mocking me." Li Xiuchang looked helpless.
"I am praising you sincerely. You don't know that the Ascension Pavilion has sent a congratulatory letter. The appreciation for you is evident between the lines. As long as my Xianchen Sect nods, they will immediately recruit you!"
Li Xiuchang immediately expressed his loyalty: "I am a member of the Xianchen Sect in life and a ghost of the Xianchen Sect in death!"
Elder Xu laughed and teased: "Now it is said outside that you are the first genius of the young generation of my Xianchen Sect, and Chu Ya has to stand aside."
"This is flattering me to death. I just got lucky and reached the ninth floor of the Ascension Pavilion."
"Not everyone can reach the ninth floor. Tell me what's going on."
Li Xiuchang had to repeat the rhetoric that fooled the Rain Crane Patriarch.
"I see." Elder Xu nodded.
Li Xiuchang took the opportunity to change the subject: "Elder, what was the final result of the pursuit of the remnants of the demons?"
The four major demon sects and the Red Demon Sect were wiped out before, and the leaders of the Desire Demon Sect and the Black Soul Sect escaped with their men. At that time, the strong men of the four major immortal sects were still chasing them.
Elder Xu shook his head: "Those rats fled into the Immortal Shade when they had nowhere else to go. In the end, we had to give up the pursuit."
The high-level cultivation of the four major demon sects is not low. Entering the Immortal Shade is a life-or-death situation. Therefore, there is no need to let the masters of the four major immortal sects enter the Immortal Shade to take risks for those rats.
Giving up the pursuit is reasonable, but it is likely to leave hidden dangers.
After all, entering the Immortal Shade is not a sure thing. There is a high possibility that the remnants of the demons will remain and cause trouble in the future.
But in general, this operation was still very successful, and almost all the demon forces in the entire Immortal Shade world were wiped out.
The rest are just some small fish and shrimps. Now the four major immortal sects are actively carrying out demon-eliminating operations and conducting carpet-style demon-eliminating in their own territories.
I believe that for a long time in the future, the demon cultivators who are already lingering on will no longer be able to make trouble.
Elder Xu sighed and said, "I know that if you don't cut the grass at the root, it will grow again in the spring breeze, but there is no way. It is difficult to eradicate the demon cultivators."
Li Xiuchang nodded in agreement. If the Xianyin Realm was a closed world, it would be fine, but it connects the upper and lower worlds.
Even if all the demon cultivators in the Xianyin Realm were eliminated, maybe one day a demon cultivator would ascend from the lower world.
Maybe one day a demon cultivator from the upper world would descend to the lower world.
The demon cultivators ascending from the lower world are easy to deal with. Those who come down from the upper world are all demon cultivator bosses, and they will not make a huge noise like ascending. It is easy to lie dormant and form a demonic force silently.
Li Xiuchang did not forget the purpose of his visit this time. He took off all the treasures on his body and returned them to Elder Xu.
These treasures were given to him by the sect for self-defense before he went on an undercover mission.
After the mission was completed, the elders were not in a hurry to take back all the treasures because he was going to Dengxian Pavilion.
Li Xiuchang did not return all the treasures, and he chose to keep some of the consumables.
However, it was not for the purpose of embezzling these treasures, as he no longer valued them.
It was mainly to make his statement more reasonable and credible, saying that some of the self-defense treasures were consumed during the riot of the demon cultivators in the Burial Valley.
"Elder, I will not return the Huanxinzhu. It will be considered as my exchange. Just deduct the contribution points from my account."
Li Xiuchang thought that he did not have many contribution points in his account, and asked again: "The contribution points rewarded for this mission should be enough, right?"
"Enough, enough, enough." Elder Xu said repeatedly, "Not only enough, but there are also surpluses."
"That's good."
Li Xiuchang was very happy. He received an innate spiritual treasure, and it was not in vain.
The Huanxinzhu, the spiritual treasure, was still on the second Yuanshen clone. The second Yuanshen clone followed Motu and returned to Donggeng District a long time ago.
As for Xue Qingshan, he had already been sent to the Dark Heaven Realm.
Elder Xu was so easy to talk to because, firstly, he had promised Li Xiuchang in advance, and secondly, Li Xiuchang's performance was so outstanding that the Ascension Pavilion showed a strong intention to poach him.
This gave Elder Xu a sense of crisis. Seeing that Li Xiuchang was about to say goodbye and leave, he still suggested:
"Xiuchang, why don't I transfer you to the inner sect. With your talents and contributions, no one will gossip."
"Elder, you must not do this!"
Li Xiuchang quickly dissuaded him and analyzed in detail the disadvantages of breaking the rules with Elder Xu, and then gave up Elder Xu's idea.
Once he becomes an inner disciple, he has to move into the inner sect. The most important thing is that he will be assigned a "Taoist" to teach him how to practice.
With Li Xiuchang's current fame and contribution, the person assigned to him must be an inner sect elder.
From then on, even if he had multiple teachers to supervise his practice, he would still have to be called to attend classes from time to time.
However, Elder Xu did not give up. Before leaving, he told Li Xiuchang: "You should think about it again when you go back. If you want to enter the inner gate, come to me."
Li Xiuchang quickly thanked and left.
Enter the inner door?
What’s there to get into!
He has become the deputy sect master in Mochen Sect, and he has no interest in the identity of a mere inner disciple.
If he showed his true cultivation, he would soon become an elder of the inner sect.
Li Xiuchang flew all the way back to Donggeng District. Unexpectedly, everyone except Senior Brother Gui was there, at least there were avatars there.
Senior Brother Motu stayed in the Dark Heaven Realm most of the time, but now he has also arranged for a clone to stay in the Fairy Dust Sect for a long time.
Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi originally left a clone in the Immortal Dust Sect, but recently he suddenly heard that Li Xiuchang had made a big splash in the Dengxian Pavilion, so he hurried back and sent the clone to the Dark Heaven Realm.
"Xiuchang, you didn't call me up when we went out to play!" Zhang Wanzhi said heartbroken.
Such a good opportunity to show off allowed Li Xiuchang to get in first.
Li Xiuchang smiled and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, it's not too late to go now."
Zhang Wanzhi had this intention, but was stopped by Chen Changsheng standing aside:
"No! Do you want to jump from the first floor to the ninth floor in one leap?"
Being exposed, Zhang Wanzhi said angrily: "So what?"
Chen Changsheng glared: "Xiu Chang has attracted a lot of attention this time. If you come here again, can we still stay in Xianchen Sect? Why don't we leave as soon as possible."
Lu Yang nodded: "What Lao Chen said makes sense. It is not appropriate for us to act in a high-profile manner now."
Li Xiuchang apologized: "Brothers and sisters, I revealed a lot of information in Dengxian Pavilion this time. I'm afraid it will leave traces. I have to ask everyone to help me cover it up."
Zhang Wanzhi's eyes were full of resentment... He didn't think of me when he was pretending to be cool, but did he think of me when he wiped his butt?
Motu asked: "What's going on?"
Li Xiuchang gave an overview of his journey to the heavenly level and analyzed:
"People in the Immortal Pavilion often climb to the heavenly level, and new knowledge is constantly injected into them. However, the new knowledge I contributed is obviously the highest level. In addition, I jumped more than a hundred floors in the last time. The people in the Immortal Pavilion can see those high-level new knowledge. Knowledge, it is inevitable to think of me.”
Chen Changsheng was thoughtful and asked, "What do you want us to do?"
Li Xiuchang had already had an idea and said:
"Muddy the water, draw more people to climb to the heavenly level, and contribute more new knowledge to the Dengxian Pavilion. Naturally, they will not be able to determine the source of each knowledge."
As soon as Li Xiuchang finished speaking, Zhang Wanzhi echoed: "What a great idea! I'll be the first to go!"
"no!"
Except for Li Xiuchang, everyone else unanimously rejected Zhang Wanzhi's proposal.
The minority obeyed the majority. Seeing that everyone was against him, Zhang Wanzhi's face fell.
Chen Changsheng thought for a while and said, "You can go, but you have to hide your identity."
Hidden identity?
Zhang Wanzhi frowned and hid his identity, feeling at least 70% less happy about pretending to be cool.
But it suddenly occurred to him that this identity was also fake, and it didn't matter anymore.
"Okay, it's just a matter of hiding your identity." Zhang Wanzhi agreed.
"Besides, you can't be the first to go. It's best to go last." Chen Changsheng made another request.
"Why?" Zhang Wanzhi was dissatisfied.
"You're definitely going to make a big splash! You're the first to go, and it's probably inconvenient for everyone else to go."
Finally, the brothers and sisters quickly agreed on a plan in a few words.
To them, this is just a trivial matter.
Among the neighboring brothers and sisters, only senior brother Zhang Wanzhi took the initiative to ask for permission to go to the heavenly level, and the others would not go there in person.
But they also used their personal connections to arrange for others to go to the heavenly level.
When it comes to personal connections, the accumulation of tens of thousands of years by several senior brothers and sisters is certainly not bad.
So in the next period of time, people went to the Dengxian Pavilion one after another to challenge the Climbing Heaven Stage.
The first one to arrive was Ye Yuqiu, who was traveling with Chu Ya.
When such a powerful man comes to visit, Dengxian Pavilion will definitely give him a top-notch welcome, and the Supreme Elder will personally greet him.
Naturally, Ye Yuqiu would not refuse the challenge of climbing to the heaven level.
The library of Dengxian Pavilion has always been relatively open.
As long as they are not demons or enemies, they are basically welcome to come to the heavenly level if they have status and background, or are strong in their own right.
For one thing, even the knowledge acquired by outsiders from the library cannot be passed on to others.
Secondly, more outside powerhouses will participate, and they will also contribute more new knowledge, making the Dengxian Pavilion even more powerful.
In the end, Ye Yuqiu easily climbed to the ninth floor and contributed a lot of new knowledge.
Chu Ya also followed suit and tried his best, reaching the eighth floor with his divine cultivation! Also contributed some new knowledge.
As a result, Chu Ya's participation in the eighth level was not bad, but it was much inferior to Li Xiuchang.
This further confirmed the rumor that the genius of Xianchen Sect was in the outer sect.
In fact, at this point, it was enough to cover up the knowledge contributed by Li Xiuchang, and all the high-end knowledge could be pushed to Ye Yuqiu.
But the neighboring brothers and sisters obviously had more preparations.
Not long after, two Buddhist monks, Fakong and Fahua, came to visit, claiming to be ascetic monks who traveled through the heavens and all worlds. Recently, they heard about the great name of Dengxian Pavilion Dengtianjie and came to challenge.
These two masters are serious Buddhist practitioners. Except that they always smoke and look a little social, their cultivation and the light of merit on their bodies are real.
Dengxian Pavilion also wanted to make friends, so it was impossible to refuse.
As a result, these two masters also reached the top of the ninth level.
The appearance of the two masters caused a sensation in the entire Xianyin world. The four major immortal sects competed to invite them to their homes, hoping to learn more about the situation in other worlds from them.
However, the two masters did not stay for long and soon left the Xianyin Realm through the passage.
In the following months, people came to challenge the Ascension Steps one after another. The Ascension Pavilion only thought that Li Xiuchang had reached the top of the ninth floor, which made the Ascension Steps famous and popular, attracting more and more challengers, and did not think much about it.
In fact, this factor was indeed involved.
From Li Xiuchang, to Ye Yuqiu and Fakong Fahua, several people reached the top one after another, which did attract a lot of attention, and naturally many people wanted to try.
This is a good opportunity to become famous and make money. As long as you can reach the top, you can gain both fame and fortune!
Therefore, among the people who came to challenge later, only a small number were arranged by the neighbors, and most of them were attracted spontaneously.
Of course, the Ascension Pavilion did not give everyone a chance.
Among the people who came to the Ascension Steps, there were those with high cultivation and extraordinary status, and there were also many who were nothing.
Many people were in a state of trying their luck. Anyway, even if the challenge failed, there was no loss. Even if they only reached the second floor, there were still a lot of books and jade slips to read.
There were even many talisman masters who formed teams to try their luck.
In the end, the Ascension Pavilion had to raise the threshold. Either you had a high level of cultivation, or you had high-level skills, or your identity and background were strong enough, otherwise you would not be qualified to challenge the Ascension Stage.
The Ascension Pavilion was bustling, and Li Xiuchang had brought about a wave of Ascension Stage fever.
Li Xiuchang himself was quietly nestling in the Donggeng District, practicing in seclusion.
In the past two months, he practiced the Refining Void Chapter of "Charcoal Burning Skill", and his cultivation level broke through to the middle stage of Refining Void smoothly.
Now, his body refining cultivation level is one step behind, and it is still at the beginning of the sixth level.
However, he has never stopped smoking and refining his internal organs. Now, refining his internal organs has broken through the limit and can spit out a blow comparable to that of a low-grade spiritual treasure in one breath!
During Li Xiuchang's seclusion this time, the improvement of his cultivation level was only secondary, and his main energy was used to digest the knowledge he got from the Ascension Pavilion.
Even his two clones practiced and comprehended with the original body when they were free.
A lot of skills and experience, through "enlightenment", Li Xiuchang can only understand 40% to 60% of them, and about half of the knowledge remains in his mind, which can be digested through his own understanding.
Of course, this cannot be digested overnight, it takes time to accumulate.
His retreat this time is still mainly for consolidation.
After coming out of retreat, his various skills are finally stable.
The spiritual plant skills have been greatly improved, and a big step forward!
If there is proficiency, it should be just over half of the sixth level, and there is still a long way to go to the seventh level.
The refining skills have also reached the sixth level.
The four skills of spiritual kitchen, soul control, talisman, and formation have all broken through to the fifth level!
The fairy brewing skills are close to the fifth level.
Only the two skills of alchemy and corpse driving have not improved much.
Such a huge improvement naturally brings amazing length values.
A total of more than 3,400 inches in length!
Among them, the improvement of spiritual plants and refining skills provides more than 2,000 inches in length.
Adding the remaining 1,200-plus inches of length, Li Xiuchang now has a total length value of 4,700!
"4,700 inches of length! A new high!"
"It seems that this much length can only be used to add some space to the second Dantian or the Vajra Dharma."
"Not necessarily..."
Li Xiuchang thought that with his current level of understanding of the Great Dao, he could try to use the Great Dao to cast a golden body, thereby improving his body refining skills.
However, he has never tried it, so he is not sure whether the length plug-in will be useful in this process.
In addition, after he enters the seventh level of body refining, he can temper his body with the origin, and then the length plug-in may be useful.
Therefore, don't rush to use all the length values, keep some for backup, maybe it will be useful in the future.
Li Xiuchang's face moved slightly, and he suddenly took out his identity token. It turned out that Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi had sent him a message.
"Xiuchang, I'm going to the Ascension Pavilion to ascend the Heavenly Steps. Do you want to go with me?"
Li Xiuchang thought about it. Now that his skills have improved, and there are more than 8,000 opportunities for enlightenment left, he can indeed go with him.
Some of the experiences and insights that he may not be able to comprehend before, as his skills level improves, he can comprehend them.
For example, if his skills such as spiritual cooking have reached the fifth level, he can also try the relevant skills and knowledge of the eighth level.
As for the two skills of spiritual plants and refining weapons, one can even try to learn some knowledge of the ninth level.
He originally planned to stay in seclusion in the Ascension Pavilion for a period of time, and then continue to learn. He came back early in order to let his senior brothers help him cover up his tracks.
So he readily agreed.
However, when the two arrived at the Ascension Pavilion, they had to pretend that they didn't know each other. Zhang Wanzhi had to disguise himself as someone else to challenge the Ascension Steps.
Li Xiuchang followed Zhang Wanzhi out of the Xianchen Sect and took Zhang Wanzhi's flying palace. It didn't take much time to reach the vicinity of the Ascension Pavilion.
"You go in first, I'll challenge you later." Zhang Wanzhi knew.
Li Xiuchang nodded, entered the Ascension Pavilion, flew directly from the passage of the library to the eighth floor, and began to read various skill books.
It can be clearly felt that the Ascension Pavilion was much more lively this time.
Recently, there have been frequent challenges to the Ascension Steps, and many have reached the top floor, so it has attracted many people to watch the excitement.
Although there were waves of challengers, no one could cover up Li Xiuchang's brilliance.
After all, it was not surprising that those great powers with unfathomable cultivation could reach the ninth floor.
It was far less shocking than Li Xiuchang, a small cultivator who was only in the foundation-building stage, reaching the top.
And no one has ever been able to replicate Li Xiuchang's feat of jumping more than 100 levels.
Li Xiuchang concentrated on wandering around the eighth and ninth floors, looking for all kinds of knowledge suitable for him, and gaining enlightenment.
In a flash, it was the next day...
He only heard a sudden commotion below, and his heart moved slightly, guessing that it might be Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi coming!
"I wonder what identity Senior Brother Zhang used this time?"
Li Xiuchang flew down curiously to watch, and as a result, he saw a young man with outstanding temperament and extraordinary appearance being stopped outside the gate of Dengxian Pavilion.
Li Xiuchang's eyes went dark, because the young man's cultivation was only in the Qi training stage!
Senior Brother Zhang, don't be too outrageous!
