Shangxuanzong is located in the northeast of Canghe territory. Unlike the Jinghai sect who occupy the Jinghai mountain range but have no power to govern it, Shangxuanzong almost owns a complete Beidou mountain range.

The Beidou Mountains are scattered with seven peaks, just like the arrangement of the Big Dipper, so they are named after the seven stars, namely Tianshu Peak, Tianxuan Peak, Tianji Peak, Tianquan Peak, Yuheng Peak, Kaiyang Peak, Yaoguang Peak, Tian The hub is the main peak, and the rest of the peaks have peak masters who sit in command, and the peak masters can recruit disciples on their own. The head teacher does not interfere with their daily chores, but whenever there is a major event, you must obey the order of the head teacher, work together, and jointly manage enemy.

In this way, Shang Xuanzong's territory, in addition to the Beidou Mountains, even included hundreds of miles nearby. King Canghe did not dare to offend Shang Xuanzong, so he specially divided the villages and counties within the range separately, and his tax income would not be paid. The treasury was specially given to Shang Xuanzong.

Although mortal money is of little use in the eyes of cultivators, monks use spirit stones instead of money to circulate among monks, but monks are not isolated from the world, they often practice in the world, taste delicious food, and wear clothes, all are closely related to worldly money Therefore, the head teacher of Shangxuanzong acquiesced to the behavior of Canghe Monarch, and the people in these places rely on Shangxuanzong and are often protected by him, and even worship Shangxuanzong as a god.

The head teacher of Shangxuanzong of this generation is Qinghe Zhenren, a monk in the late Yuanying period, but he is not the person with the highest cultivation level in Shangxuanzong, and there are many monks in the other peaks, and there is even a legend that there is a monk who has successfully broken through Yuanying. It's just that he seldom shows up when he advances to the stage of transforming gods, so even fewer people know about it.

Since there are as many as thirteen single-unit infant monks, other alchemy cultivators can be found everywhere, unlike the Jinghai School, even if there is a alchemy cultivator, he must be enshrined like a god.

Such a powerful sect with thousands of disciples, countless masters, naturally deserved to be number one in the mainland, so from the moment they agreed to intervene in the fighting between the two sides, the Qinggu sect began to fidget.

As soon as Lu Yanping and others arrived at the boundary of Shangxuanzong, there were already people waiting there, and when they saw them landed, they immediately went forward to greet them.

"Hello, fellow Daoists, this must be the head of Lu? In Xia Yuzhou, under the sect of Qinghe Zhenren, Tianshu Feng of Shangxuanzong, the acting head teacher is here to welcome you all." His appearance revealed the pride of a big sect, he didn't show contempt because of Lu Yanping and others coming from a small sect, but he wasn't very enthusiastic either.

Originally, as Lu Yanping, he should be greeted by the head of the sect in person to show courtesy, but this person in front of him is just a disciple of Shang Xuanzong's head teacher, but he has already cultivated at the early stage of alchemy, and he is stronger than anyone in their line of work. He needs to be tall, and besides, the Jinghai faction wants something from others, so how dare they take Joe?

The situation is such that we have to face reality.

Lu Yanping suppressed a trace of embarrassment in his heart, and smiled back: "Brother Lao Yu, I am Lu Yanping, the head of the Jinghai School, and the brothers behind me are all members of my Jinghai School."

Yu Zhou nodded: "Master Lu, please follow me. The master is waiting for everyone in Lingshou Palace, and fellow Taoists from Qinggumen have also arrived."

Lu Yanping was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect the other party to be so fast.

He subconsciously glanced at Zhou Yin, who was like a deep well and ice pond, with no waves.

Lu Yanping's heart suddenly calmed down slowly.

"Then I will trouble Daoist Yu to lead the way."

Tianshu Peak soars into the clouds, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are jagged rocks, making it difficult to walk an inch, waterfalls in the gully, rushing down like waves, it seems extremely dangerous, although for monks, this actually constitutes a It's not difficult, but Yu Zhou didn't use the flying magic weapon, but led them up step by step along the way.

As if aware of their doubts, Yu Zhou, who was walking in front, turned his head and apologized slightly: "Shangxuanzong has an ancestor's precept, unless the sect is on the verge of extinction, and it is an urgent matter, you must not use the flying magic weapon when going up and down the mountain, so not only fellow Taoists , even when I waited for my disciples, or people from the Qinggu Sect to come, I also walked up like ordinary people."

Huang Wenjun wondered, "Why is that?"

Yu Zhou smiled: "What monks rely on is nothing more than magic weapons of spiritual power, but life can never be smooth sailing. In case of being injured by an enemy and temporarily losing mana, you have to rely on your hands and feet, which is no different from ordinary people. It's different, just think about it, if the situation is critical and you don't even have the strength to escape, what else can you say? The rules established by the patriarch are nothing more than telling me not to forget the exercise of my body."

Huang Wenjun and the others looked at each other, feeling that the rules were so weird and unhuman.You guys usually like to climb mountains, so how can you let the guests walk with you when guests come to your door?Besides, monks practice for the purpose of possessing supreme supernatural powers, and they are good-looking, and they even set a rule that they are not allowed to use flying magic weapons in the sect. Isn't it superfluous?

Although Lu Yanping didn't speak, his eyes showed such meaning slightly.

Zhou Yin's interest has added another layer. If he can not be blinded by spells and magic weapons, knowing that he is prepared for danger in times of peace, and setting such rules, it is no wonder that Shang Xuanzong can have the scale and achievements of today.

Several people walked on the ground like walking on the ground, and they reached the peak in less than half a stick of incense.

The place of Dou Fa is located in front of the Lingshou Palace of Tianshu Peak. The surrounding mountains are winding and wide, vast and clean, hidden in the mist, beautiful in the clouds, covered with snow all the year round, and Lingshou Palace is the main peak of Shangxuanzong. After thousands of years of management by several generations, the meeting place in the city has long been full of jade trees and Qiongzhi, with wind curtains and emerald curtains, and colorful flowers. It is invincible in all seasons, just like a fairyland.

Even if other monks came here, they couldn't help being amazed, let alone the disciples of the Jinghai School.

Taking advantage of the time when Yu Zhou went in to report, Huang Wenjun looked at everything in front of him, and sighed: "Look at this arrangement, it is worthy of the style of the number one sect in the mainland!"

Although worried about the future of the sect, Lu Yanping seldom smiled after hearing his words: "Don't just look at the beautiful scenery, you must know that there are restrictions everywhere here, like those green trees and green vines, if there are foreign enemies Invading, it can become a wood attribute defensive enchantment in a blink of an eye, in fact, our Jinghai faction also has such an arrangement, but the enchantment made here is naturally more advanced."

While talking, Yu Zhou came out from inside.

"The real person invites you all to come in and serve tea."

Lu Yanping nodded slightly and followed him in.

The Jingyuan Hall is the nave of the Lingshou Palace, and it is also the core building of the Lingshou Palace. Shangxuanzong received foreign guests, and important discussions within the sect were all held here. Danying carved jue, carved beams and painted buildings, are solemn and solemn.

At this moment, many people were already bustling inside, and when they saw Lu Yanping and the others come in, they all fell silent.

On the main seat was a Taoist with white hair and a childlike face, and a gray gauze robe over a white Taoist robe. He stood up.

"Sect Master Lu came from a long way, and the old Daoist welcomes you from afar. I hope you will forgive me."

Yu Zhou walked quickly behind the Taoist and stood still with a respectful expression.

How can Lu Yanping not understand the identity of this Taoist.

"Jinghai sent Lu Yanping to meet real Qinghe."

The other party is a monk Yuanying and the head teacher of Shang Xuanzong. In terms of cultivation base and status, there is really no need to meet him in person. It is extremely polite to stand up and say a few words of greeting. Lu Yanping is not dissatisfied in his heart, and Dare not be dissatisfied.

Qinghe Daoist chuckled, he didn't seem to have the slightest airs, and his attitude was very kind: "Master Lu, you don't need to be polite, you guys just arrived at a good time, and fellow Taoist Qinggumen just arrived, come here, let me introduce you, this is Heaven Master Yanzong Elder Xia Ming."

What he was referring to was a Nascent Soul cultivator in his forties who was sitting next to him. The other party glanced at him and nodded slightly, but had no intention of getting up to greet him.

He could hear Qinghe Zhenren say again: "This is fellow Taoist Li Zhushu from Wanshan Gate."

"This is Elder Cifang of Qinggumentai."

Following the recommendation of Daoist Qinghe, I saw a middle-aged man sitting there with his hands clasped, his face expressionless, seeing Lu Yanping's gaze, he just pursed his lips slightly, behind him stood several young men and women , all of which are extraordinary in appearance and demeanor.

This time, it's not just the Jinghai faction fighting with the Qinggu sect, but now the Tianyan sect and other sects are also involved. Judging from this posture, it looks like a sect conference is about to be held.

Master Qinghe invited Lu Yanping and others to sit down.

"Earlier, Taoist friend Jinghai sent a letter to me to preside over the fight. I thought it over and over again. Just because Shang Xuanzong was present, I was afraid that I would be old and weak, and my eyesight would inevitably be dim. Fellow Taoists from Yanzong and Wanshanmen came to bear witness."

Daoist Xia Ming of Tianyan Zong sneered slightly: "The head teacher Qinghe is just and strict, no one in the world knows it, why bother calling us all here?"

It is obvious that Shang Xuanzong wanted to intervene to share the benefits, but now he is speaking righteously. Originally, Jinghai faction also sent a letter to Tianyanzong for help, but Tianyanzong came in and had some internal affairs to take care of, so he didn't want to take care of it, but he didn't expect Shangxuanzong to pick it up. It's cheap, this old fox can really take advantage of the loopholes, real Xia Ming feels uncomfortable thinking about it, and can't help but sarcasm.

Daoist Qinghe has already reached a certain level of self-cultivation. Hearing the words, not only did not take it seriously, but smiled and said: "Since you are cultivating the truth, you are in the same way. If you are fighting with others in the same way, peace is the most important thing. For the sake of fairness, Qinggumen, this time Most of the people sent by Fan are Foundation Establishment cultivators, whose strength is comparable to that of the Jinghai School disciples, it is really a noble move, I am honored to be here as a witness, and I am also honored."

After he spoke, Tai Cifang could no longer remain silent. The reason Tianyanzong dared to argue with Qinghe Zhenren was because Tianyanzong was second in strength, but there was still a distance between Qinggumen and Shangxuanzong However, Tai Cifang did not dare to be so presumptuous.

"This matter happened because of the Zixia Luoyingdeng, the most precious treasure of our school. The Jinghai faction can't hand over anyone or anything. It's reasonable to belong to the Qinggu sect, but since it's a fighting method now, it's worthwhile. The real person will be a witness to you, lest you say that I, the Qinggu Sect, is bullying the weak and bullying others!"

Master Qinghe chuckled: "It's easy to say, easy to say, I don't know if you want to rest for a while, or to compete immediately?"

Tai Cifang glanced at Lu Yanping, and said with disdain: "Some people are still like that no matter how long they rest, it's better to start as soon as possible."

This contempt was so obvious that many Jinghai disciples changed their faces, Lu Yanping said flatly: "I agree with Elder Tai's suggestion."

Master Qinghe didn't seem to see the turbulent undercurrents between the two sides, and still smiled: "Okay, let's start. For the first round, who do you two want to send?"

Tai Cifang: "Liu Yu."

A monk next to him stood up.

Lu Yanping changed his face slightly: "Elder Tai, this seems to be inconsistent with our previous agreement."
