Longevity: Never leave the mountain until you are invincible

After the ceremony of Xuanjing Tianjun ended, Qingyun Tower once again returned to its previous calm.

But an undercurrent is brewing.

As time goes by, Zhong Chengfeng's situation in Qingyun Tower becomes more and more delicate.

From time to time, Jindan elders and core alchemy masters requested Qingxiao Tianjun to deprive Zhong Chengfeng of the title of Nascent Soul Seed on the grounds that Zhong Chengfeng's cultivation was too slow and wasting cultivation resources.

Qingxiao Tianjun and other senior officials of Qingyun Tower all refused.

Xuanjing Tianjun's body is still cold, so Qingxiao Tianjun and others will naturally not complete the matter.

"Wait for a stupid young man."

Chu Chen remained calm and waited for the right opportunity.

He didn't wait long, the first bird appeared.

This outstanding person is not from Qingyun Tower, but a casual cultivator from Yuanwu Domain.

The grudge between this casual cultivator and Zhong Chengfeng is simple to say. In the past, when he was born in a secret realm, this casual cultivator obtained a third-grade elixir and was later targeted by Zhong Chengfeng.

Not only was this elixir taken away by Zhong Chengfeng, but he himself was hunted down by Zhong Chengfeng's powerful men and almost died.

From then on, this casual cultivator held a grudge and went to Zhong Chengfeng, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

Before Xuanjing Tianjun fell, this casual cultivator had no chance to take revenge. Fortunately, he was allowed to wait for the opportunity after all.

A few days ago, Zhong Chengfeng left Qingyun Tower for some reason and headed to the west of Yuanwu Territory. This casual cultivator got the news and ambushed Zhong Chengfeng on the road he must pass.

Unfortunately, this casual cultivator was slightly inferior and was killed by Zhong Chengfeng on the spot.

Zhong Chengfeng also felt uncomfortable. Before he died, the casual cultivator struck with his life, cutting off Zhong Chengfeng's right arm, and damaging Zhong Chengfeng's origin, so that he almost fell from the middle stage of the Golden Elixir to the early stage of the Golden Elixir.

In other words, the possibility of Zhong Chengfeng breaking through the Nascent Soul stage has dropped again.

…

Qianyun Peak.

Mountain top.

The jade pavilions are scattered in a scattered manner. If you look closely, you can see that the bases of each pavilion are engraved with formation patterns and are connected by earth veins to form a huge spirit gathering array.

The magic circle gathers spiritual energy and condenses it into substance, like a cloud of white mist, covering the top of the mountain, like a fairyland on earth.

When Chu Chen came, there were more than ten people on the mountain top, including Zuiyue Taoist and Mo Youshu.

"Fellow Taoist Yumao has summoned many core alchemists and golden elixir elders at this time. In name, he invites everyone to taste the newly brewed Heavenly Fire Drunkenness, but this must not be his real purpose."

As soon as Chu Chen sat down, he heard a Jindan elder discussing the matter with Mo Youshu.

"What purpose could it have? It's just to target Zhong Chengfeng."

Mo Youshu smiled, having a clear understanding of Taoist Yumao's purpose.

Taoist Yumao.

The deputy head of the Foreign Affairs Palace is one of the leaders of Jinhong Tianjun's family, and has always been at odds with Zhong Chengfeng.

Especially after Jinhong Tianjun retreated to the second line, Taoist Yumao was severely suppressed by Zhong Chengfeng, and there was a faint tendency to withdraw from the core of power in Qingyun Tower and become marginalized.

Now that things are changing, how could Taoist Yumao not take revenge?

"I have kept you fellow Taoists waiting for a long time. Today's gathering is for wine tasting. You can speak freely."

After a while, Taoist Yumao appeared and got straight to the point.

A group of graceful maids in palace attire came over carrying jade trays, bowed slightly, put down the wine pots containing Sky Fire Drunk, and bowed to leave.

"The entrance is like burning fire, and the aftertaste is sweet and mellow. It is a high-quality spiritual wine."

Chu Chen took a sip and his eyes lit up.

In terms of grades, Tianhuozui is only a third-grade low-grade spiritual wine, far inferior to Cold Spring Nectar.

But Tianhuozui has a unique flavor, giving him a feeling different from the cold spring nectar.

"good."

Taoist Zuiyue, who has no books, also nodded.

Most of the monks praised each other and loved Tianhuo Zui very much.

"Brother Yumao, there is something wrong with the taste of my pot of Heavenly Fire Drunkenness."

At this time, a Jindan elder pointed at Tian Huo Zui in front of him and said with a frown.

"Does it taste wrong?"

Taoist Yumao's expression changed, he took a step forward, came to the side of the Jindan elder, and picked up the pot of Heavenly Fire Drunk.

"It turns out that some impurities were mixed into this jug, which affected the taste of this jug of Heavenly Fire Drunkenness."

Taoist Yumao took a closer look, found the reason, and apologized to the Jindan elder:

"My subordinates acted impetuously and affected Fellow Daoist Lu's mood. Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Lu."

"No problem."

Elder Lu waved his hand, as if he didn't want to pursue it too much.

While the two were talking, a maid quickly brought a new pot of Sky Fire Drunk.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu, for your understanding. As for this pot of Heavenly Fire Drunk that is contaminated by impurities, it should be destroyed."

Taoist Yumao activated his magic power, ignited a raging fire in his hand, and burned the wine pot.

"The spirit wine mixed with impurities will be destroyed, but what if something unclean is mixed in the tower?"

Elder Lu was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Taoist Yumao with different expressions.

"Here comes the drama."

Chu Chen raised his eyelids slightly, taking in the changes in everyone's expressions.

"It should also be cleared!"

Taoist Yumao looked solemn and said in a deep voice.

"As the seed of Nascent Soul, Zhong Chengfeng should set an example, but this person acts wantonly and suppresses dissenters.

Moreover, a large amount of cultivation resources in the tower were wasted, and he was unable to reach the peak of the golden elixir for a long time, and the hope of breaking through the Nascent Soul stage was slim.

Such a person is not worthy of sitting in the position of Nascent Soul Seed. This is an insult to Qingyun Tower! "

Elder Lu looked indignant.

"What Fellow Daoist Lu said is absolutely true."

Taoist Yumao kept nodding and said with deep understanding: "Zhong Chengfeng may have been considered a genius once, but now he has long since fallen and is no longer suitable to be the Nascent Soul seed of Qingyun Pagoda."

"What do you think?"

As he spoke, Taoist Yumao looked at the monks from Qingyun Pagoda present.

"Indeed."

"Pindao agrees with Brother Yumao and Fellow Daoist Lu that Zhong Chengfeng should be evicted from the position of Nascent Soul Seed."

"Yes, I agree."

Many Jindan elders and core alchemists immediately spoke up and agreed with what Taoist Yumao said.

For a time, Zhong Chengfeng seemed to be the target of public criticism.

"Everyone, please be patient. Zhong Chengfeng is still the Nascent Soul Seed. If we want to dislodge him from the position of Nascent Soul Seed, we need to consider the long term."

Taoist Yumao coughed lightly and suppressed everyone's voices.

"What's so hard about this?"

Elder Lu said loudly: "Brother Yumao, if you join us in submitting a report, Patriarch Qingxiao and others will not ignore it."

"this……"

After hearing what Elder Lu said, Taoist Yumao seemed a little hesitant.

"Pindao thinks this method of fellow Taoist Lu is very good. Taoist brother Yumao led us to eliminate the pests in the tower. This is a great achievement. Why does Taoist brother Yumao have to worry about it anymore?"

Elder Jindan said.

"What do other fellow Taoists think?"

Taoist Yumao looked at the others again.

"Can."

Mo Youshu pondered for a moment and was the first to speak.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the monks from Qingxiao Tianjun's line also agreed one after another.

Seeing this, the monks from other factions followed suit.

then.

Taoist Yumao and everyone went to Qingyun Hall to ask for an audience with the Qingxiao Lord.

Faced with the request of the Qingyun Pagoda monks, Qingxiao Tianjun could not ignore it and did not refuse on the spot. Instead, he said that he would discuss the matter with Jinhong Tianjun and Silver Moon Tianjun.

One day later.

Qingxiao Tianjun summoned a group of Jindan elders and core alchemists to decide by voting whether to take away Zhong Chengfeng, the title of Nascent Soul Seed.

Vote anonymously.

Chu Chen naturally had no scruples and voted in favor.
