Gift of flowers - Flower Fairy
Yu Qing saw the hesitation of Jin Zhen Sheng Mu and said to her: "As for the establishment of Hengshan, I have repeatedly calculated it several times in advance. In the future, Hengshan will rise greatly, and it should be on the shoulders of a few younger generations. Moreover, there are also our families helping from the side. The Holy Mother only needs to pass down the Taoist tradition, and after accumulating merits and virtues, it will be passed down for hundreds of years, all of which is a matter of course."
Jin Zhen Sheng Mu finally understood, Yue Qing wanted her to establish the Hengshan Sect and pass on the orthodox teachings. She would give up her own skills and treasures in exchange for their help in overcoming the heavenly tribulation, and her daughter would have a backing. If successful, the outcome would be much better than she had initially thought. The only thing that was unbearable was that she didn't want to get involved in the conflicts between Wutai and Emei, but once she established the Hengshan Sect, she would immediately be tied to the same warship as Wutai Sect, and wherever Wutai Sect pointed, she would have to follow.
She hesitated again and again, thinking that Yue Qing had indeed treated his allies well, such as Wu Li's Three Yangs One Qi Sword which was given by Yue Qing, the Pure Yang Sect's Lv Zu Secret Book was also the same, now he took out Guang Chengzi's Yuanyang Tian Shu, if she could comprehend it a bit, her hope of ascending to the immortal realm would be greatly enhanced, maybe she could even cultivate into a heavenly immortal, otherwise, another reincarnation would delay her for hundreds of years, and with one carelessness, she would again disperse.
After weighing the pros and cons, Jinzhen Shengmu finally made a decision: "This time, Old Lady will go back, pack up her belongings, and prepare to move. In the future, when the Hengshan Sect is established, everything will be under the command of Zhenren Ma!" She was also decisive, once she had made up her mind, she didn't delay any further, and took her daughter back to their residence.
The second day was August 15th, the official opening day. The Cangshan Sect was just a second-rate sect, with only about a hundred disciples and guests in total, so it wasn't a grand occasion. It was just to establish the sect and invite fellow Taoists from all over to bear witness.
Wu Li, as the leader of the Lao Mountain sect, went through a series of rituals on stage, including worshiping the Three Pure Ones and Four Sovereigns, the Five Elements, holding the Law Sword, promulgating the teachings, proclaiming the founding principles, and more. This took up almost half a day. Then came the disciples' ceremony to pay respects to their masters. Wu Li's eldest disciple, Zhu Xianyao, and Si Taixu's eldest disciple, Gan Shen Zhi, led over thirty disciples in paying homage to the two of them.
After the ceremony inside the gate, it was time for the guests to present their gifts. The Pure Yang Sect gave three pieces of Lingzhi produced in the back cave of the Fangxu Xianfu, the Mao Mountain Sect gave a volume of "The Night Parade of a Hundred Demons", the Kunlun Sect gave a Snow Lotus from the Tian Mountains, and the Wudang Sect gave a bottle of divine thunder refined from the essence of cold spring water... Other guests also had their own gifts, especially Tu Mu Island's Shang Jianchu presented a thousand-year-old sacred tree grown at the bottom of the North Sea, which was the most precious.
The gift prepared by the Emei School was six Lülong pearls. In their view, Wu Li was just a side door and left path, and the Laoshan School he founded was only a second-rate school. Looking around, how many scattered immortals can become gods? However, there is not one who dares to come out and create a sect. Even if they can become heavenly immortals or golden immortals, few have created teachings. For example, He Sha Dao Chang, such a high-ranking person, flew up after flying up, but didn't even have a disciple to inherit the Taoist tradition.
Wu Lichuang's creation of the Cangshan School is a joke in the eyes of the Emei School. Originally, there was still controversy within the school about whether to come and pay respects, and many people looked down on Wu Lichuang, who had an unpleasant relationship with the two old men of Songshan. It's likely that they would have clashed swords if they hadn't been too busy to teach him a lesson. Why bother sending gifts? Most people held this view, but only Miao Yi Furen was farsighted and insisted on coming to pay respects with Baiyun Dashi. However, she didn't expect Wu Lichuang to receive anything good either. At this point, seeing the gifts of the guests in front, her six dragon pearls were too embarrassing to take out.
In fact, the Dragon Ball is hard to come by, and the treasure map array is also very good. Giving it out wouldn't be embarrassing, but Xun Lanyin had decided to win over the Cuishan Sect when he came, so he gave a boost to Si Taixuan's prestige within the sect. The Dragon Ball was just one of many gifts that could be ranked in the front row, but not the best. Giving it out wouldn't achieve the desired purpose, so Xun Lanyin hesitated until the end and finally steeled himself to take out the Jiuhua Suoyun Barrier he had been refining on Mount Jiuhua for years and gave it away.
Everyone saw her send out a cloud of fog-like things, recognized as a treasure, and discussed it in unison, guessing what kind of treasure it was.
The Tiger Head Zen Master of Changfeng Cave on the Island of Evil Dragons smiled and said, "Recently, the Emei Sect has been thriving. After the fall of the Taiyi Huanyuan Patriarch of the Wudang Sect, it seems to have become the number one sect in the world. With Miao Yi as the leader of Mount Emei, her status is even higher than that of Li Yuanhua. Such a noble identity must be sending out an extraordinary treasure. Wu Zhangmen, Si Daoyou, why not show off the gift from Miao Yi and let everyone see it?" His words were full of sarcasm and provocation, making Wu increasingly dissatisfied, while Si Taixu looked at Xun Lanyin with an awkward expression.
Xun Lan presented a thick gift and was eager to let everyone know, so she said to Si Taiyu: "A humble gift, not worth mentioning, but since everyone wants to see it, I'll have my daughter show it off for the guests!"
Cai Taixu reluctantly said: "In that case, I'll have to trouble Lingyun's niece."
She finished speaking, and Qilingyun stepped forward, her hands pinched together in a spiritual seal, pointing forward. The white mist rose up, swirling in the air as it rapidly transformed into a dense fog that covered the sky. Within the fog, nine golden flowers danced and fluttered about, emitting countless rays of light that intertwined with one another. The white mist continued to surge forth from the center of the golden flowers, which in turn were nourished by the misty air. Both the mist and the flowers grew thicker and more luxuriant, and in an instant, they enveloped the entire Mount Cangshan.
Wan Zhen Yang's hand shot out three flower divine darts, golden red and white three-colored light burst forth fiercely, and as soon as they came into contact with the aura, countless electric lights exploded, threads of cyan smoke, nine golden flowers rapidly gathered in the fog, flying and dancing, numerous golden silk rays densely gushing out, although many were blown apart by the three flower divine darts, but that thing was reborn from the flower stamen, endless, like a silkworm cocoon tightly wrapping around the three flower divine darts.
Qilingyun transformed the spiritual key, and the cloud and fog quickly gathered. In the end, it shrank back into a fist-sized ball. She took down the Three Flower Divine Needle and returned it to Wan Zhen, then held the cloud ball in both hands and presented it on the jade tray of the Lao Mountain Sect.
The guests' faces were all filled with surprise and astonishment. Baiyun Dashi was the leader of the Emei School's Luofu Seven Immortals, on par with Yuanyuan Dashi. Her Three Flowers Divine Needle was also a very famous magical artifact. In the past, countless sword immortals had lost their lives to this needle, and now it had been easily taken away by this cloud-like treasure, showing just how precious this treasure was.
Cai Tai Xū emotionally returned the treasure: "This treasure is too precious..."
Xun Lan said with a smile: "This treasure was condensed from the cloud energy at the top of Jiuhua Mountain during my leisure time, and it is called Jiuhua Locking Fairy Barrier. It happens that your sect is opening its mansion, and I have nothing to congratulate you with, so I will give this treasure to your sect. In the future, when sealing the mountain and locking the land, it can be used to avoid external enemies, and it has a very special use."
Wu Li saw that the Emei School had sent such a good treasure, so he looked at Yue Qing with his eyes. He wasn't greedy for any treasure, but felt that since Si Taixu was close to the Emei School, they were giving him face, and if the Wutai School gave something inferior, he would lose face. He even hoped that Yue Qing would take out an even more powerful treasure to suppress the Emei School, and it would be fine to return it after opening the mansion later. Other guests also thought of this idea and speculated about what the Wutai School would bring out.
Yue Qing finally spoke out: "Younger brother has been treated with kindness by older brother these days, living in the left hall of Taiqing Palace. Outside the railing, there is a peony and a mountain tea tree, both with excellent roots and bones. Calculating with fingers, they have already cultivated for over 1,500 years, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, and are about to transform into spirits. So I helped them a bit, assisting them in refining their bodies and taking on human form." After finishing speaking, he took out the Pure Yang Heavenly Seal and handed it to Situ Ping, telling him to take it to help the two flower fairies complete the final step of their transformation.
Not long after Situ Ping left, he brought back two girls. The one in front was a peony fairy with purple ribbons all over her body, looking noble and beautiful. The mountain tea fairy behind wore a white shirt, looking pure and virtuous. The two of them came to Yue Qing's presence, knelt down and thanked him for his kindness. Yue Qing pointed at Wu Li: "That immortal is the master of Cuishan Mountain. Since you were born here, you can't help but be nurtured by others. The favor of nurturing is far greater than mine. Moreover, Wu Daoyou's magical power is extremely high. If he can give you a few pointers, it will be beneficial for your future!"
The two women then went to Wu Li's presence and paid their respects. Wu Li saw that they were not ordinary, with high-quality bones and a pure temperament. After several days of washing and refining with the Hunyuan Golden Elixir, their bodies were as white as snow and jade, their true energy was solidified, and they were different from ordinary alien spirits. If they could cultivate Taoist methods, although their magical powers might not be stronger than those of humans, except for a few disasters, there would be no more difficulties, and the road to flying up to the heavenly realm to become a flower spirit would be much easier than for themselves. Wu Li was overjoyed and immediately accepted the two women as his disciples, and each gave them a magical treasure.
Everyone was amazed in their hearts: the Wudang Sect really exceeded expectations, and it's no wonder that it's a super-large sect that has dominated the Taoist world for over a hundred years. The development of the sect comes first, the unity of the Tao comes second, and things like magical artifacts and elixirs are only external objects, which can only be ranked third. Although the magical artifact sent by Mount Emei is precious, the Wudang Sect directly sent two talented disciples, and in comparison, the magical artifact from Mount Emei seems inferior.
