Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Nonetheless, Lu Changxiao's reputation in Qingzhou remains illustrious, and his strength at the Golden Core Stage is nearly one of the strongest among the few.

Because of this, Zhou Tianlong, who had already stepped into the Nascent Soul Stage, appreciated Lu Changxiao's cultivation prowess and especially admired his growth potential.

Thus, at that time, Zhou Tianlong openly recruited Lu Changxiao, stating that as long as Lu Changxiao joined the Yulan Sect, he could ascend to the position of an Elder with just his Golden Core Stage cultivation.

Moreover, the Yulan Sect would mobilize the entire sect's strength to assist Lu Changxiao in advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm.

What Lu Changxiao needed to do in return was merely to join the Yulan Sect, becoming one of its members and advancing along with the sect.

However, faced with such generous recruitment terms, Lu Changxiao unexpectedly refused.

Furthermore, Lu Changxiao's refusal was decisive, seemingly without any hesitation.

As for his open response, he stated that as an Independent Cultivator's Identity, he had roamed the world freely for many years and was too used to it, unable to adapt to the sect's cultivation environment.

Therefore, facing Zhou Tianlong's generous offer and willingness to set aside the pride of a Nascent Soul Stage Expert, Lu Changxiao's unexpected direct refusal left the cultivators who were aware of the situation incredulous.

Even in the years following this event, it remains a topic of fascination among many cultivators.

And these people's opinions are identical to those of the cultivators back then, all believing that Lu Changxiao was overly proud and self-confident, daring to refuse the goodwill recruitment offer from a Nascent Soul Stage Expert with his Golden Core Stage cultivation.

Fortunately, Zhou Tianlong was also an easy-going person with an appreciation for talent.

Otherwise, if it had been a cruel and violent demonic cultivator, Lu Changxiao's public response might have provoked disaster, easily leading to his demise. How could it be that he would be allowed to continue cultivating and remain active on the Qingzhou Land?

In fact, Lu Changxiao's directness indeed had its own confidence.

At the same time, his nature was indeed proud and self-assured.

After all, when facing Zhou Tianlong's generous terms and the opponent's willingness to lower his status for recruitment.

Lu Changxiao's reckless action could indeed bring about a calamity.

Luckily, he had favorable fortune, and Zhou Tianlong did not find trouble over the perceived loss of face due to the public refusal.

And Lu Changxiao did not disappoint as a genius cultivator; his confident attitude indeed won admiration.

It was within less than a century that Lu Changxiao continued to cultivate alone and quickly broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage, becoming one of the few Nascent Soul Stage Independent Cultivators on Qingzhou soil.

After this, Lu Changxiao's reputation grew more illustrious, and traces and tales of his feats spread even outside of Qingzhou's domains.

From then on, Lu Changxiao formed a significant bond with the Yulan Sect.

Until now, judging from numerous rumors, although Lu Changxiao has never publicly joined the Yulan Sect.

However, based on that event from the past and the Yulan Sect's attitude toward Lu Changxiao over the years, their relationship is definitely extraordinary.

Speaking of recent centuries, Lu Changxiao frequently appears in the Yulan Cultivation World.

In fact, he has openly attended the senior celebration ceremonies of the two elders at the Yulan Sect's mountain gate multiple times.

Including some alchemist exchange conferences held at the Yulan Sect, there have been instances of Lu Changxiao's presence.

During these exchanges, Lu Changxiao has shared great insights into alchemy, personally guiding many alchemists stuck at certain bottlenecks and helping them breakthrough smoothly.

This action earned him the admiration and accolades of the alchemists across Qingzhou.

Under these circumstances, within the current Qingzhou Cultivation World, the Yulan Country where the Yulan Sect is located is virtually a paradise in the eyes of these alchemists.

Because in that place, there is an abundance of alchemists.

Among them, many are from the Yulan Sect, and numerous independent alchemists also yearn for the Yulan Country.

Meanwhile, many alchemists with sect or family backgrounds also enjoy traveling to the Yulan Country.

And their purpose in doing so is not just to exchange insights with more alchemists, but also to trade for necessary spiritual medicines and pill formulas.

In addition, some hope to witness the legendary unparalleled prowess of Qingzhou's number one alchemist.

Currently, Lin Tianming is contemplating a visit to the Yulan Country precisely for this reason.

In his view, as a paradise that every alchemist yearns for, the Yulan Country surely has points worth looking forward to.

Another very important point is, according to past conventions, the alchemist conference organized by the Yulan Sect is due to be held in a year's time at the Yulan Sacred Mountain, where the Yulan Sect's mountain gate is located.

The history of this alchemist conference can be traced back tens of thousands of years.

It is during these tens of thousands of years that the Yulan Sect has continued to hold an alchemist conference every century.

For this, the Yulan Sect has consistently hosted the alchemist conference for tens of thousands of years.

And at each alchemist conference, the Yulan Sect will traditionally host an alchemy competition.

This competition is usually divided into two divisions, the Second Order and Third Order competition arenas.

As for the specific rules of the competition, although there are variations each time.

The central point that cannot be ignored is that participating alchemists must follow the requirements of the Yulan Sect, using the pill formula and materials provided by the sect, to refine the best-quality elixirs in the shortest time.

As long as one enters the top ten of each stage, they can directly win the opportunity to join the Yulan Sect.

More importantly, the top five alchemists in each division, regardless of their desire to join the Yulan Sect, can receive generous rewards.

Among these rewards, the highest value includes Yellow Grade Spirit Technique, Fourth Order attack or defense talisman paper, or Bright Jade Fruit that can help Golden Core Stage cultivators resolve a bottleneck.

In addition, there are many insights and legacies from Third Order Alchemists, including pill formulas or spiritual medicine materials of various grades.

The lowest value at least includes one Foundation Establishment Pill.

Overall, the rewards provided by the Yulan Sect for alchemists are mostly treasures related to alchemy.

Even in the worst case, they provide treasures for cultivation breakthrough, overcoming bottlenecks.

Or some large-power consumption type treasures or powerful spirit art and divine skill techniques.

Considering these rewards, if a Third Order Alchemist obtains them, they can achieve some degree of improvement.

Because the rewards are sufficiently generous, regardless of whether they achieve a top ranking, just participating in the alchemist conference competition, or observing the event, cultivators who come will gain various degrees of benefits.

Under such circumstances, within the current Qingzhou Cultivation World, many alchemists, as long as they reach the Second Order Alchemist threshold and meet the basic conditions to visit the Yulan Country, will eagerly head to the conference location during the alchemist conference.

Including those alchemists who do not qualify to participate in the competition, or ordinary cultivators who are not alchemists, they also do not want to miss such a grand event.

After all, alchemists hold a significant status in the cultivation world; nearly every ordinary cultivator cannot go without the assistance of alchemists in alchemy.

Therefore, when an area sees a gathering of alchemists, it becomes an excellent opportunity for many ordinary cultivators to connect with alchemists.

Consequently, during the alchemist conference, those heading to the Yulan Country, regardless of whether they are alchemists, will somewhat gain various benefits.

Their motivation is simply to witness the grandness of the alchemist festival, to see how vibrant it is, and whether they can widen their social circles.

Because of various reasons like this, the alchemist conference held every century by the Yulan Sect attracts numerous Qingzhou cultivators eager to attend.
