Chapter 273 Gifts
"Congratulations to Linghu Taishang, Huangfeng Valley has added three Yuanyings!"

"Three Yuanying?! Who else is there besides Fellow Daoist Hongfu?"

"This disciple just came from Spirit Beast Mountain. Elder Lei just succeeded in forming a baby today."

"Elder Lei also succeeded in forming a baby?"

In the original plot, in order to prevent the Huangfeng Valley from being wiped out all at once after his death, Patriarch Linghu did not hesitate to humble himself to Han Erlangzi and used his three most beloved treasures in exchange for Han Erlangzi's three attacks.

Ancestor Linghu is really worried about Huangfeng Valley.

Now that the sect has two more Yuanying elders, Lei and Hongfu, the Linghu ancestor is so happy that he almost faints.
However, he still did not faint, but asked in confusion: "Three Yuanying, who is the other one? The other elders have not even reached the peak of the middle stage of Jindan, and are far from forming a Yuanying."

"Hehe." Sun Zecheng didn't say anything and directly released the aura of Nascent Soul.

"It's you!"

"Yes, it is the disciple."

"Hahahaha, it's so great that you have formed a baby! So great! This is a blessing from heaven for our Huangfeng Valley! Heaven wants our Huangfeng Valley to prosper!" Patriarch Linghu was ecstatic and cheered loudly. The whole Huangfeng Valley was echoing with Patriarch Linghu's laughter.

"My Huangfeng Valley will definitely take off. I can go now with peace of mind!" Ancestor Linghu no longer had any worries.

"The ancestor is good at keeping healthy. His remaining life span is less than that of a foundation-building cultivator. You can't say such unlucky words."

"Master Sun, from now on, we can all call each other fellow Taoists, and you can no longer call yourself a disciple!"

"No, I will always be Linghu Taishang's disciple."

Sun Zecheng was not used to the practice in the immortal cultivation world where seniority was determined by one’s cultivation level.

I can't just say that I've reached the Nascent Soul stage, and then Master Li Huayuan has to call me senior, right? Isn't that a mess?
Sun Zecheng can use his position as the head of the sect to give orders and assign tasks to his master Li Huayuan, but he will never change the seniority of the two because of changes in their cultivation.

"The addition of three new Yuanyings is a great event for our Huangfeng Valley, and we must hold a grand event!"

Sun Zecheng originally didn't bother to organize these grand events, but this was not just his business. Besides, Huangfeng Valley had three more Nascent Souls, so it was inevitable that Patriarch Linghu would be excited and celebrate.

"Well... let Elder Lei and Elder Hongfu stabilize their realm first."

"No problem, the celebration will be held in Yellow Maple Valley in three months! It's time to redivide the territory of Yue State!"

According to Patriarch Linghu, should we take this opportunity to redistribute the resources and benefits of Yue State?

This is almost identical to what Elder Lu of Luoyun Sect did after Han Erlangzi advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage.

However, they were close allies yesterday, but today the first thing you do when you rise up is to bully your allies and squeeze out their interests. Is this really a good thing to do?

Sun Zecheng didn't dare to agree, but it was not easy for him to directly refute Patriarch Linghu.

"How about this, before the celebration, let's get together with Elder Lei, Elder Hongfu and others." Sun Zecheng took a moment to calm down, and then used the small meeting to deny the old ancestor's idea.

"Yes! Let's four discuss a plan among ourselves first!" Patriarch Linghu was still immersed in the idea of ​​how to redistribute the interests of the Kingdom of Yue, completely unaware that Sun Zecheng had no interest in swallowing up the interests of his allies.

"Greetings to Master Linghu!" With Sun Zecheng's help, Hong Fu's formation of a fetus was extremely easy. At this moment, she had finished her practice and first paid her respects to Master Linghu.

"Fellow Daoist Hongfu, there is no need to be so polite. You have already formed a fetus, and we are all Daoists of the same generation."

"Hongfu was able to conceive a baby thanks to the great help of the Sect Master! Without the Sect Master's help, Hongfu would never have been able to conceive a baby! Just tell me what you want, and Hongfu will do her best!"

There was truth in Hong Fu's words. Without Sun Zecheng, it would be hard to find even a seventh-level demon pill, not to mention the spiritual energy infusion she had just received while blocking the lightning.

"Hey, don't tell me, I really have something to trouble my mother-in-law." Sun Zecheng waved Ling Yuling over.
"Xuan'er's aunt, just follow Xuan'er and call her aunt."

"Aunt!" Ling Yuling immediately called her aunt obediently.

Sun Zecheng took out a magical cloth from his storage bag and pointed to his red maple battle suit and lapis lazuli robe. "Please help my niece make two sets of clothes, mother-in-law."

"You are such a playboy! You have ruined another good girl."

The only thing Hongfu was dissatisfied with Sun Zecheng was this: he was not loyal enough!

How great it would be if Sun Zecheng only married his own Xuan'er!
"Everything that happened back then was said to be the order of Linghu Taishang, and Linghu Taishang happened to be here too..."

What, this matter involves me?
Ancestor Linghu has lived for hundreds of years, so he naturally knows that there is no right or wrong in such matters between men and women.

In the past, Hongfu was only a Jindan elder, and Linghu Patriarch could deal with her with just one word, but now Hongfu is already a Yuanying like him.
Thirty-six strategies, go ahead!

Let’s run away!

"Oh, I almost forgot that I was refining a furnace of elixirs. I have to go back and check it out!"

Before he finished speaking, the shadow of Linghu Patriarch disappeared.

"Master Linghu?" Sun Zecheng hadn't finished his words when he suddenly discovered that the key witness had run away.

"I didn't harm anyone. They did it willingly. Don't believe me..."

"Well, I volunteered." Ling Yuling interrupted with a smile.

"We are also volunteers." Nie Ying and Xuan'er said with a smile.

Elder Hongfu said helplessly: "You are all bewitched by him. He already has several wives but you are still willing to follow him. I really don't know what to say to you."

"Stop talking nonsense. You're in the Nascent Soul stage now. Please process it faster this time." Sun Zecheng threw the cloth into Hong Fu's hands.

"I'll try my best." A man who takes something from someone is soft-hearted, and a man who eats someone's food is grateful. Although she is already a Nascent Soul, Hong Fu owes Sun Zecheng nine seventh-level demon pills, so she has to do her job.

"Hey! Wait, why didn't I have the backlash of the inner demon that Linghu said when I formed my infant this time? The inner demon calamity?"

The matter in Tiannan was settled, and Sun Zecheng was preparing to take the three women back to Biling Island when Elder Hongfu suddenly asked in confusion.

"Yes, it seems that Master has not experienced any inner tribulation." Nie Ying had the same question.

"Hehe, you're asking the right question!" Sun Zecheng laughed.

He really has researched this matter!
"The so-called inner demons are all people's negative emotions."

"When people are injured, tired, or fail, they will amplify these negative emotions."

"Just like having a nightmare when you have a fever, you also have a nightmare when you are injured or extremely tired."

"When most people are forming their Nascent Soul, they experience a heavenly tribulation. They are struck by lightning and become injured, weak, tired, and confused. It is inevitable that they will have various nightmares because they think that this is the so-called inner demon tribulation. Some even think that it is necessary to go through the inner demon tribulation when forming their Nascent Soul. In fact, this is not the case."

Sun Zecheng recalled Han Erlangzi's second attempt to break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage. It was also a successful breakthrough. He just stayed in the medicine garden and took a lot of elixirs. Therefore, it was not as long-winded as the attempts to break through to the Golden Elixir stage or the Nascent Soul stage!

The original book recorded this way
[Han Li found a suitable opportunity, took the "Demon Yuan Pill" and other spiritual medicines, and with the help of the best spiritual stones and five kinds of extremely cold flames, he finally broke through the early stage of the Spiritualization and became a Spiritualization cultivator.]

Demon Yuan Dan, top-grade spirit stones, and five kinds of extremely cold flames are all energy!

"As far as I know, even when it comes to reaching the Divine Transformation stage, there is no such thing as a Heart Demon Tribulation! The core of realm advancement is energy!"

"I helped you two bear the thunderbolt, and you are comfortable as usual. Do you have any nightmares or mental demons?"

"If you observe the Nascent Soul cultivators carefully, you will find that there are all kinds of people with different personalities. Not all of them are strong-willed and have no desires. You will know that the so-called inner demon is bullshit!" Elder Lu of Luoyun Sect is obviously a person with a weak character.

Of course, Sun Zecheng knew that Han Erlangzi had dirty thoughts about his younger sister. In the Blood Forbidden Land, Han Erlangzi first mistook Han Yunzhi for his younger sister, and then kissed her after she fainted. This shows that Han Erlangzi must have dirty thoughts about his younger sister.

However, considering Han Erlangzi's ruthlessness and lack of loyalty... or considering Han Li's determination to pursue the Tao, would he be shaken by my younger sister? Is it possible?
Han Erlangzi has desires for his younger sister, the three sisters of the Mo family, Han Yunzhi, Chen Qiaoqian, Nangong Wan, Yuan Yao, Wen Siyue...!
Just because he is afraid of affecting his ascension and longevity, he ruthlessly gives up. Would such a person have a mental demon?
Sun Zecheng remembered that in the original plot, when Han Erlangzi returned home after giving birth to his baby, he learned from Chen Qiaotian that Chen Qiaoqian had died. Han Erlangzi was stunned. The original book said that he was sad.
In fact, Han Erlangzi's reaction was not sadness, but regret!

Because it wasn't that he didn't want to, it was because he was inferior, unconfident and selfish! For his own immortality, he could give up everything!

When I had reached a certain strength and status (already at the Nascent Soul stage), I had enough confidence to renew my relationship, but unfortunately, she was gone!
It's a pity, isn't it? It's hard to accept, isn't it?

Just like that, these things have never become the inner demons of Han Erlangzi on his path of cultivation!
Later, when Han Erlangzi was trying to achieve the state of spiritual enlightenment, he didn't have any inner demons at all.

……

"In that case, won't it be certain that we sisters can reach the Nascent Soul stage?" Nie Ying asked happily, holding Xuan'er with her left hand and Ling Yuling with her right hand.

"I'll leave your Nascent Soul to me. Even if it's spiritual transformation, there's a 90% chance of that." Sun Zecheng said, patting his chest.

"Transformation into a spirit? Wow! That's great!" Nie Yingxuan and Ling Yuling looked at each other and cheered in unison.

"I am already satisfied to have reached the Nascent Soul stage. It has been a long time since a Divine Transformation has occurred in Tiannan Continent. There are only three great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage." Hongfu looked at Xuan'er and said with a smile.

What do you know? The old man Xiang in the valley is a god! How long has it been since he became a god? Sun Zecheng thought to himself

But Sun Zecheng didn't say it out loud.

"Okay, now that the matter here is settled, we'll leave first." After bidding farewell to Elder Hongfu, Sun Zecheng took the three women back to Biling Island.

Now Sun Zecheng basically doesn't have to worry about Tiannan anymore.

In terms of economy, Huangfeng Valley’s annual income from the Kingdom of Yue plus war reparations amounted to several million spirit stones, making it extremely rich!
In terms of combat power, Huangfeng Valley has three new Nascent Souls. Having four Nascent Souls in one sect is nothing among the four major forces. However, the fact that one of them is Sect Leader Sun, who has formed a Nascent Soul at the age of forty is completely different!

This is the one who was in the Jindan stage and suppressed Master Zhiyang of the Righteous Alliance and destroyed the spiritual vein of Haoran Pavilion!

Now he has formed his Nascent Soul, and he is still so young!
It will have at least 960 years of life in the future!
Not to mention that he can also collect all kinds of elixirs and foods to increase longevity.

Who will be the boss of Tiannan Continent in the future?

All the schools in the southern part of Tiannan can answer this question without thinking.

So when the other five sects of Yue State received the invitation to celebrate the addition of three new Yuanyings to Huangfeng Valley, they were both happy and worried.

To the outside world, the six factions of Yue State are allies, and the unstoppable rise of Huangfeng Valley among the six factions will benefit all five factions.

But, in reality, it is customary in the Tiannan immortal cultivation world that the rise of a faction is inevitably accompanied by a redistribution of spheres of influence and interests, and the first thing to be cut is usually the alliance!

How to do?
Received an invitation from Linghu Patriarch,
The Grand Elder of the Yanyue Sect, Patriarch Wu, hesitated for several hours.

In fact, before Patriarch Linghu's invitation, Patriarch Wu had already received a letter from Elder Tang, saying that Sect Leader Sun and Elder Lei had formed their Nascent Souls. Now Patriarch Linghu's invitation is for three people to form their Nascent Souls, with the addition of Elder Hongfu.

When did it become so easy to form a Yuanying in the Tiannan Continent? Three Yuanying appeared in one sect all of a sudden!
Huangfeng Valley is about to prosper and take off!
The Yanyue Sect wants to send generous gifts to congratulate and make friends with Sect Leader Sun!
This is what Elder Tang meant in his letter.

What should I give as a generous gift?

After pondering and hesitating for a few hours, Master Wu gritted his teeth and made a decision.

Summon all the elders of the Yanyue Sect who are at the Jindan level and above to a meeting.

It is said to be a meeting, but in fact it is just a message notification.

Huangfeng Valley has three new Nascent Souls, among whom Sun Zecheng, who is only forty years old, has successfully formed a Nascent Soul.

In view of the change in the power status of both sides, it is no longer appropriate for the Yanyue Sect to occupy the best spiritual vein in Yue State.
Patriarch Wu decided to give up the territory of Yanyue Sect. Whether it was to be exchanged with Huangfeng Valley or to allocate another piece of land, it was all up to Huangfeng Valley to decide.

"Do you have anything else to say, elders?"

Elder Wu asked symbolically.

There was silence.
What can I say? Strength determines status, strength determines everything.
What else can we do when our strength has changed fundamentally?
It is better to give up something on your own initiative than to let others snatch it away from you.

"Grand Elder, I want to go to the celebration with you."

Patriarch Wu was just about to adjourn the meeting if he had no objection, when Nangong Wan suddenly offered to go along with him to the celebration.

"you're good too!"

Although Wu Laozu was not very clear about the complicated relationship between Nangong Wan and Sun Zecheng, he knew that the two had some connection.

Patriarch Wu recalled that Senior Sister Zhao wanted to marry Nangong Wan to Huayi Sect.
Perhaps it would be a good choice for Nangong Wan to marry Sect Leader Sun, but it's a pity that Sect Leader Sun already has many wives and concubines.
Even if Nangong Wan marries him, she can only be a concubine. Is Nangong Wan willing to be a concubine for a female Jindan cultivator?

However, Nangong Wan was willing to go, and Elder Wu was happy to see it happen, so he agreed after only a slight hesitation.

……

Giant Sword Gate,
Elder Shi hurried back from Lingshou Mountain just to meet Patriarch Gongsun.

At Lingshou Mountain, they, the five Jindan elders stationed at Lingshou Mountain, saw with their own eyes how Sun Zecheng blocked the thunder and helped Elder Lei to form a baby. They also heard the conversation between Elder Lei and Sect Leader Sun.

After Master Sun left,
The Jindan elders of the five sects were discussing what gifts to give to congratulate Master Sun and Elder Lei of Huangfeng Valley for their advancement to the Nascent Soul stage. They didn't know yet that Sun Zecheng would then go to Huangfeng Valley to help Hong Fu advance.

However, just the fact that two people advanced to the Nascent Soul stage was already a big deal.

In particular, the 40-year-old Master Sun was promoted.

Elder Fang of Tianque Castle suggested that the five factions combine their gifts and share the burden equally among everyone, so as to avoid the situation where some people give too much and some give too little, and those who give too little would be embarrassed.

Elder Shi and Chong Yunzi of Qingxu Sect agreed with this proposal, but Elder Tang of Yanyue Sect hesitated and said he would consult with Patriarch Wu.

Upon hearing this, Elder Qian of Huadaowu, who was hesitating, immediately expressed his desire to consult his own ancestor.

The plan to send gifts together did not come about.

If it doesn't work out, then it doesn't work out. Normally, there is no habit of sending gifts to each other among the six factions of Yue State.

When Sun Zecheng first became the head of the sect, everyone came with nothing.

Elder Shi didn't take this matter to heart.

Fortunately, Elder Hu of the Tianxing Sect of Yuanwu Kingdom usually gets along well with Elder Shi and they have a very good personal relationship.

"Elder Shi, you have to pay attention to this matter." Elder Hu reminded Elder Shi and told him without hiding anything: "The three sects of Yuanwu Kingdom plan to send a generous gift to Sect Leader Sun."

"Is it necessary? We are all allies, so congratulations are enough." Elder Shi said indifferently.

"How could that be possible! Sect Leader Sun has already formed his infant at the age of 40. He will definitely be the best in Tiannan in the future!"

"No, Sect Leader Sun is the one who has overwhelmed the Righteous Alliance since the Jindan stage. He is definitely the number one person in Tiannan right now, not in the future! The entire power map of Tiannan will change according to his will!"

"Other sects can't even come close to us to give gifts, Lao Shi, don't take it lightly!"

"Then what should I give?" asked Elder Shi.

"As for what gift to send, go back and discuss it with your ancestor! Elder Qian from Huadaowu has already set out two hours ago."

Well, I heard that Elder Qian of Huadaowu has gone back to ask for instructions, and Elder Shi has also returned to Jujianmen to ask for instructions from the ancestor.
