Chapter 494 The Refiner Likes the Demon Race
Xue Lan sat in the seat designated for her by Dao Xuanzi. Her calm gray eyes, as indifferent as distant mountains, revealed no emotion. She was as serene as a spirit deer in the mountains.
He calmly silenced the powerful figures around him, leaving them speechless on the surface.
They all sat upright, seemingly having their own things to do.
Xue Lan's lips curled slightly, and in an instant, she unleashed her powerful divine sense, covering the entire platform.
In an instant, a tidal wave of whispers flooded Xue Lan's mind.
Beneath the facade of nonchalance, the powerful figures were constantly transmitting their messages, weaving a dense and impenetrable web of activity, creating a lively and bustling scene...
"Six sects becoming seven sects, isn't that a huge disrespect to our demon race?"
"Although the Ten Thousand Crafts Workshop is indeed of extraordinary importance to the lower realm, it's quite something to be ranked among the six sects right from the start..."
"Isn't this too flashy?"
"This child has a high talent for weapon crafting, but his own cultivation level is too low."
……
Xue Lan picked up a teacup from the jade table and used the act of drinking tea to cover the smile on her lips.
As the cool tea flowed down his throat, Lord Wolf squinted his round, almond-shaped eyes, thinking to himself:
Being more cautious is good!
I hope they can remain this composed when I talk about breaking through boundaries and forging the heavens.
After drinking half a cup of tea, Xue Lan looked around.
"Senior Qian Zheng!"
A smiling voice suddenly rang in Qian Zheng's ears as she sat among the demons. The woman looked up and met Xue Lan's gray-white eyes.
Qian Zheng glanced at Tu Shanyan beside her, then nodded slightly to Xue Lan:
"Lord Changjun."
Xue Lan turned her head away from her, but her clear voice rang in Qian Zheng's ears:
"This platform is very lively in private. I want to fit in."
"So I came to talk to you."
Qian Zheng's eyelids twitched slightly, and her expression became somewhat unnatural.
"Yan Du has not participated in the Ascension Ceremony for a long time. Senior, is there anything you need from Senior Qingliu?"
Qian Zheng lowered her eyes slightly, a hint of sadness appearing in them, but it vanished in an instant.
"His Majesty congratulates you on taking over the Ten Thousand Crafts Workshop. He says that the Ascension Ceremony is a grand event for the Yuanming realm. If you wish to achieve your goals, you will surely take action."
"Let me be your witness!"
Xue Lan was overjoyed, and her voice even jumped for joy:
"As expected of Senior Aoyagi."
"This really helped me a lot."
"Everyone!"
As soon as Xue Lan finished speaking, Qian Zheng heard a majestic voice coming from the front of the platform.
He is Dao Xuanzi.
The old man wore a smile, his sharp eyes sweeping over the powerful figures on the platform:
"If you have something to say, then say it openly and honestly."
Dao Xuanzi looked at Xue Lan:
"He's just a junior, what's there to be afraid to ask?"
"Since Fellow Daoist Dao Xuanzi has said so, then I shall ask."
A clear, crisp sound rang out, and Xue Lan looked in the direction of the sound.
He is the Great Protector of Seven Butterfly Valley, the Twin-Tailed Shadow Scorpion.
Xue Lan remembered that her name was Xie Songyu.
The young girl, dressed in a vibrant purple robe, smiled and bowed to Xue Lan.
"Master Xue, I wonder if my demon race has the opportunity to become your disciple?"
Xue Lan was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and spoke:
"Protector Xie, what are you saying? In the Yuanming mortal realm, humans and demons are united in fighting against the demon race. How could I, Xue, show favoritism?"
"As long as you pass the trial, you can become a disciple of my Ten Thousand Crafts Workshop."
The woman's face was beaming with smiles:
"Protector Xie, after you return this time, you can bring those two little ones directly to Wan Gong Fang, and I will take them in."
Xie Songyu knew Xue Lan was referring to the two little spiders she had personally delivered to Seven Butterfly Valley. The girl smiled gently and said:
"That won't be necessary, I've already brought it with me today."
Xue Lan, who was short of Scarlet Jade Spider Silk, nodded happily: "That would be best!"
Xie Songyu paused for a moment:
"Master Xue, you look a little too cheerful."
Xue Lan smiled and said:
"This protector is unaware of the truth. I like the demon race, and all weapon refiners like the demon race."
The woman smiled and began to solicit customers:
"Senior Yu Jun, is there any junior you would like to send to the Wan Gong Fang?"
“Senior Beast Lord, I, Xue from Fengdu, can also offer some spots.”
"And Senior Tushan, doesn't your clan have any little foxes who like weapon crafting?"
The group of powerful demons who had just been thinking of sending their juniors to the Wan Gong Fang suddenly hesitated when they saw the bright smile on Xue Lan's face.
Seeing the hesitation on their faces, Xue Lan wanted to say a few more words, but before she could speak, she heard Dao Xuanzi's cold voice:
"What did you say this morning?!"
Xue Lan promptly shut her mouth and stopped speaking. She waited for the next powerful figure to ask her a question.
A few breaths later, Master Hengyang of the War Puppet Mansion looked at Xue Lan and slowly spoke:
"Master Xue is a weapon-refining genius, one in ten thousand in the lower realm, but he cannot neglect his own cultivation."
"A mid-stage Golden Core cultivation level is indeed..."
The old man's tone was filled with a kind smile:
"If it's inconvenient for you to cultivate, we elders can perform the initiation ceremony for you, at least to the Yuan level..."
"Senior Hengyang!" Xue Lan interrupted Master Hengyang, speaking rapidly:
"Xue Lan had been traveling outside all the time and rarely had the opportunity to break through to a higher realm in peace."
"After the Ascension Ceremony concludes, Xue Lan will certainly cultivate diligently."
Towards the end, Xue Lan's voice was almost pleading.
Master Hengyang did indeed love her, but this was too much of a doting act.
Initiation is given on a whim!
Xue Lan was somewhat panicked.
Master Hengyang sensed the rejection in Xue Lan's words, sighed, and sat down.
Dao Xuanzi, seated at the head of the table, glanced at Xue Lan, then slowly rose to look at her:
"Master Xue!"
Xue Lan was slightly taken aback.
Although she had long anticipated this day, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable when those three formal words came out of Dao Xuanzi's mouth.
Dao Xuanzi spoke as if he hadn't noticed Xue Lan's stunned expression:
"I wonder if Master Xue has any objections to my taking the liberty of including Wan Gong Fang among the Six Sects?"
Suppressing the unspeakable, unprecedented pain in her heart, Xue Lan bowed to Dao Xuanzi:
"I have no complaints. Thank you, fellow Daoist."
Dao Xuanzi nodded slightly. The old man stood with his hands behind his back, his white robes fluttering, and looked at the powerful figures below:
"Fellow Daoists, do you have any more questions? If not, the sacrificial ceremony should begin."
Upon hearing Dao Xuanzi's words, some of the people below who had originally intended to ask questions stopped asking.
Regarding the matter of the six sects becoming seven sects, the sect leaders of the six sects left their positions open when they took office; anyone with eyes could see that.
About Wan Gong Fang.
Xue Lan seems to have such a good temper, why can't she ask him something in private, instead of doing it right under Xuanzi's nose?
The old Taoist priest hadn't been this assertive in eight hundred years; his eyes were practically glaring at people to death.
No one spoke, and a slight smile appeared on Dao Xuanzi's face.
The old man's voice was clear and resonant:
"Since none of you fellow Daoists have any objections, then from now on, my Yuanming Sect will be the Seven Sects and Twelve Schools in the mortal realm."
"Gentlemen, please follow me to observe the ceremony of offering sacrifices to Heaven."
Dao Xuanzi sat back in his seat, and with a gentle wave of his hand, the huge jade platform slowly descended from the sky above the main venue and landed directly in front of the altar.
The noisy main hall suddenly fell silent, and all the disciples looked at the platform.
The leaders of each sect rarely change, even after thousands of years, so all the disciples' eyes were on the new faces that appeared.
Xue Tong stood at the exit of the main venue, looking at Xue Lan sitting on the platform.
The woman was dressed in a black monastic robe, with bright red beads behind her ears, her gray eyes were majestic, and her expression was cold.
It's like a satiated beast lying in wait.
The girl summoning system took a picture of Xue Lan and couldn't help but whisper:
"She really managed to put on an act."
"Your Majesty is naturally very domineering, okay?"
"That's it!"
A clear and pleasant voice came from behind her, and Xue Tong turned around with some confusion.
There aren't many people who call Xue Lanjun "Shang"!
Before my eyes were two tall, handsome young men dressed in white, both with ponytails and bright red accents at the ends of their jet-black hair.
The two of them stood together, looking like they were looking in a mirror.
Xue Tong frowned.
Has she seen these two people before?
When the two boys saw Xue Tong turn her head, their eyes clearly shone with anticipation.
But this expectation quickly vanished under Xue Tong's questioning gaze.
One of the boys looked at the other with a somewhat aggrieved expression:
"Brother, I want to eat candied hawthorn."
"I'm wronged!"
A flash of inspiration struck Xue Tong.
Wait a minute, that pitiful tone sounds familiar.
The girl looked the two boys in front of her over again, her voice trembling slightly with uncertainty:
"Xue Xiaofei, Xue Xiaoyu!"
The two boys looked at her, their dark eyes suddenly lighting up.
Then they both heard Xue Tong's surprised voice:
"Did Seven Butterfly Valley give you two growth hormone injections?"
