Ever since he knew that Wei Nan was a greedy person, Hu Lu had thought of exchanging his reputation as one of the top ten masters in the world for his "Jade Pot Bingxin Kung Fu" and giving it to Murong Rong, who had ice-attribute spiritual roots, to practice.

But now that Ronger has the "Heart-eroding Skill", the significance of the Jade Pot Bingxin Skill is not that great.

But Wei Nan is still very meaningful to Hu Lu. For the thugs in the Jindan stage, only one Duanyilang is not enough. Of course, the more the better.

When he heard about the drama, Wei Nan quickly asked, "How can Wei get into the top ten?"

Hu Lu, "Of course it's a fight with someone in the top ten. If you win, you can naturally push the other person down."

Wei Nan, "..."

You are embarrassing me, Wei. I, Wei, have always relied on face to travel around the world, and I am not a brave and ruthless person.

"Your Majesty, is there no other way?"

Hu Lu, "Since you asked sincerely, I will tell you mercifully that many of the masters on these lists have not actually played against each other in public, and it is impossible to distinguish between high and low strength, so another measurement standard must be used.

, that is power!”

Wei Nan's eyes lit up and he said, "Speak."

Hu Lu, "Actually, this question is very simple. Let's take Zhou Miaoyin of Tianji Sect as an example. She is a female, but she has a great reputation in the world of cultivation. It can be said that everyone is afraid of others and worried about ghosts. Everyone in the world of cultivation gives her face.

, but is she really worthy of being ranked eighth in the world? Is she definitely better than Hai Yingwei from Zhushi Island, Lei Hong from the Lei family, and Wei Nan from Ice Castle?"

Wei Nan fell into deep thought, and seemed to be really thinking about the comparison of strength between himself and Zhou Miaoyin. He had never fought before, but it should be a 50-50 draw.

Hu Lu said again, "I can't see it. Everyone in the world of cultivation is afraid of her. What they are afraid of is the Tianji Sect, the largest sect in the world, behind her. What they are afraid of is the most ancient god in the world of cultivation, Ji Guangzhen."

Wei Nan slapped his thigh excitedly, "Yes, yes, that's it! No wonder, I have never fought Zhou Miaoyin, but I am afraid of her from the bottom of my heart. It turns out that the crux is here, your majesty can wake up the dreamer with one word.

!”

In the end, Hu Lu concluded, "So being able to fight is of no use, and you need to be powerful and have a background to hang out."

Wei Nan, "You mean to let me recruit more disciples and expand the ice castle?"

Now Wei Nan felt a little regretful. He usually had so much time and energy, wouldn't it be better to teach a few more good apprentices? He had to go around trying to make things easy for others. How much youth was wasted!

Hu Lu shook his head, "This is indeed a way. If you can teach a top ten master-level apprentice in the future, your ranking will definitely not be low, but it will take time and some luck, and I have one here.

It’s a shortcut, I don’t know if you are willing to take it.”

Wei Nan showed an attitude of being open-minded and willing to be taught. Hu Lu said seriously, "Completely surrender to the imperial court and expand your influence through imperial institutions, such as the imperial guards who are currently influential in the world of cultivation."

"Ah this..." Wei was in a dilemma, the Imperial Guards, aren't they the imperial eagle dogs in the eyes of fellow practitioners in the cultivation world?

When Liu Bo of the Qiu Shan Sect joined the Imperial Guard as the head of the Qiu Shan Sect, he made the Qiu Shan Sect the laughing stock of the cultivation world. This was because he had no choice but to do so, and he did not fall into that position.

Of course, while everyone is laughing at the Qiu Shan Sect, people are also envious of the practical benefits that the Qiu Shan Sect has gained by relying on the imperial court. Moreover, now that Liu Bo is out and about, no one who sees him should give him face and call him Brother Bo.

Wei Nan was in a dilemma. The emperor was right. Working in the imperial guard did bring some face, but it was only face on the surface. Behind the scenes, he was called a lackey, which undermined the dignity of a cultivator.

However, the influence is really great. Liu Bo, a plum blossom cut, two young people who have just entered the foundation building realm, are now on an equal footing with some veteran leaders.

It was hard for Wei Nan not to be tempted, "Then if I join that imperial guard, will I still have to fall under the influence of Liu Bo?"

Hulu, "Master Wei Fort, who are you? Who are these two people? How can they be worthy of being above you!"

Wei Nan felt comfortable.

Hu Lu, "You two are on equal footing."

Wei Nan felt uncomfortable.

I am a dignified golden elixir monk, what kind of status are they two, to be on the same level as me is embarrassing and a loss of status!

Hu Lu added, "Of course, your status is not the official establishment of the Imperial Guard. You are not under the jurisdiction of Yi Jian Mei Liu Bo, and you cannot manage them. You are unrelated to each other. I call this special status a temporary worker."

.”

Hu Lu continued, "Actually, Duan Yilang of Duandaomen can be regarded as a temporary worker of the Imperial Guard. Anyone who is not a Jindan cultivator is not qualified to be a temporary worker of the Imperial Guard. Normally, you don't need to take action at all, and you may not even need them in this life.

If you take action, you can enjoy the many benefits brought by the imperial court for free."

Wei Nan almost agreed directly, but his status as a master made him reserved, "Then I'll think about it~"

Hu Lu, "Waiting for good news."

At this time Wei Die came over, and Wei Nan hurriedly stopped the topic, even blushing a little.

Wei Die is here to tell you that you can go in.

The Duobao Pavilion disciples who were guarding the surroundings of the bombardment tower saw Wei Die and let him go. Thanks to them, Wei Nan also avoided the trouble of having his identity verified.

As soon as they entered, someone shouted, "Emperor Dayue, His Majesty Fushou has arrived!"

There were not many people in the venue, but they spoke loudly and seemed very lively. However, after hearing these words, the entire venue fell silent.

This is the first time Hu Lu has appeared in front of so many cultivators, and it is also the first time he has shown his true face.

In front of low-level cultivators, Hu Lu still had the fun of private visits on private servers, but in front of these big bosses, I'm afraid what he looks like is not a secret to these people, so there is no need to hide it.

And what they look like, even if Hu Lu has never seen them before, he can match them one by one.

"Island Master Chen, Master Lei Family, Mr. Qiu..." Hu Lugong raised his hands and called out their names one by one. Although everyone was surprised, they thought it was reasonable after careful consideration, so they greeted him one after another, and no one dared to show off.

mince

There were less than twenty Jindan monks in total. Only Ji Guangzhen from Tianji Sect, Long Youzai and his wife from Kongchan Pavilion, and Qing Xin and Qing Kong from Sanqing Mountain were not present.

The representative sent by the Tianji Sect was Zhou Miaoyin, and this time she was accompanied by a hairpin phoenix from the Lily Sect. She followed Zhou Miaoyin carefully and waited on her. When she saw Hu Lu, she was calm on the surface, but her heart was pounding.

The young master Long Bailian came to Kongchan Pavilion this time. When he saw Hu Lu, he also moved his eyes away guiltily, seeming a little embarrassed.

Hulu remained calm and restrained and polite to him. After all, he was Guoer's biological father and Jixiang Ruyi's grandfather. Even though he looked similar to himself, Hulu really didn't regard him as an elder.

This time, Sanqingshan sent its senior brother Qingjing Taoist Priest, and Qin Wuwang from the Sanqing and Fourth Qing Dynasties also came. This new Jindan followed his elder brother closely. This was his first time after entering the Jindan. I was a little nervous to attend such a grand gathering, but it was also the first time for Taoist Master Qingjing.

Nowadays, there is only one Qingkong guarding Siqing Island. Qingxin lives in Sanqing Mountain and cannot come out, but it doesn't matter. Now that the court is getting more and more powerful, who in the world of cultivation dares to take advantage of Siqing Island? The only one who is somewhat threatening It's the demon world.

Hulu also gave instructions to Siqing Island. If you encounter monsters robbing the spirit stone mines, no matter monks or miners, you must protect yourself first. The mines can be temporarily given to them. They can't move them anyway. They will snatch them back when the time comes. Yes, but when a person dies, he really dies.

In addition to these Jindan monks, there are also several foundation building masters, such as Shenzui from Fengbo Sect, Huang Doujiang from Haitian Sect, Yao Wuhuan from Danxiang Pavilion and others.

On the surface, they are all powerful men who are infinitely close to the Golden Core stage, just like Duandaomen Duanyilang two years ago, but in fact, Yao Wuhuan has long been different from them.

There are mostly female disciples in Danxiang Pavilion, but Yao Wuhuan, known as the "Great Elder", is a handsome man and the mysterious golden elixir that Danxiang Pavilion has always kept secret.

At first, Hu Lu could only visualize the Qi Refining monks. He only knew that there was a golden elixir in Danxiang Pavilion, but he did not know who it was. Later, he could visualize the foundation building, and then he knew Yao Wuhuan through the head of Danxiang Pavilion. The elder's strength had actually reached the golden elixir decades ago, and now he has reached the middle stage of the golden elixir. He is on par with Zhou Miaoyin and Hai Yingwei in terms of strength.

But because he has no record of external competition and is relatively mysterious, Hu Lu did not put him among the top ten masters, but it is hard to say what the actual situation will be.

Hu Lu greeted everyone for a while and then faced Yao Wuhuan directly, "Congratulations to Elder Yao for being promoted to the Golden Elixir stage. It is really a blessing for Danxiang Pavilion and a blessing for monks in the world."

Everyone was shocked and stunned.

Yao Wuhuan was calm and returned the favor, "Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor."

Hu Lu knew before coming here that Yao Wuhuan was preparing for a showdown. This was also the strong request of the head of Danxiang Pavilion, Yao Wuhuan's granddaughter Yao Chen.

In Xidanxian Street, the Dan Yao sect was initially dominated by the Bao Dan sect, and later the Bao Dan sect, Dan Xiang Pavilion, and the Dan Ding sect formed a three-pronged structure. Among them, the Dan Ding sect has a large number of people and ranks first in sales due to its price advantage. With the "Super Foundation Establishment Pill" as its flagship product and the official endorsement, the Baodan Sect is more trusted and now ranks second. And as more and more Chunyu Crimson disciples enter the Qi refining stage, people who can refine the elixir There are more and more hands, and there is a strong tendency to regain the first place.

Only their Danxiang Pavilion was lukewarm and ranked third, so the head Yao Chen was anxious. After much deliberation, he could only win the trust of customers and make a big splash in marketing by playing the Grandpa Jindan monk card.

Originally, Yao Wuhuan just kept a low profile, thinking about his humble development, and when the time came, he would become the best in the world and quietly amaze everyone. However, now it seems that it is almost impossible to surpass Zhao Xianzi, the number one person in active service, so he will start from now on. A granddaughter.

Precisely because he was ready to self-destruct, Hu Lu directly poked him to show the strength of the imperial intelligence agency, and at the same time, he would not offend Yao Wuhuan. His Taoxi was also sincere. As the number one in the world of cultivation A full-time alchemist who has reached the golden elixir stage, he is the only one who has the strength to refine fifth-level elixirs. If he can produce more high-grade elixirs, it will be of great help to improve the overall strength of Dayue cultivators, Hu Lu I hope he can do more things instead of just practicing. He hasn't refined the elixir himself for many years. It's a waste!

Everyone congratulated Yao Wuhuan for his great success, but they were not surprised by Hu Lu's intelligence. Instead, they all speculated that Yao Wuhuan's promotion to the golden elixir was related to the emperor. Just now Yao Wuhuan was Have you said "Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor"?

Yao Wuhuan: I'm just being polite!

But others didn't think so, especially those from the Quasi-Golden Elixir Sect who had always been called him. They wondered if it was the Baodan Sect that had some super golden elixir, right?

Fengbo Sect was intoxicated, Haitian Sect Huang Doujiang, and several other top foundation-building masters exchanged glances with each other.

At this moment, the host of the party, Mr. Wei Yi, appeared with his own special lighting effects. This was the function of the bombardment tower.

In the absence of Ji Guangzhen and other five masters, and on the premise that Yun Qing did not reveal his identity, Mr. Wei Yi can be regarded as the number one master here and the oldest person. Everyone respects him.

He came straight to Hulu, "Everyone, please attend first, and I will have a few words with Your Majesty." He dragged Hulu away with that.

They wanted to whisper, but Yun Qing followed them step by step until Wei Yi said, "This is not suitable for Miss Yun to listen to."

So Hulu waved his hand, "Xiaoyun, you and Yingzi take the table first, I'll come as soon as I can."

Yun Qing was a little unhappy, what little tricks were you doing behind my back? Huh, you won't let me listen, but I insist on listening.

However, after Wei Yi and Hu Lu entered the small room, even Yun Qing could not hear any sounds inside. This is the magic of the bombardment tower, the confidentiality is top-notch.

What Wei Yi and Hulu said also shocked Hulu.

"I wonder if Your Majesty knows the art of divination?" Wei Yi asked first.

Hulu shook his head.

Wei nodded, "I don't know, so that's easy to say."

"Divination is a magical method of divining the future. It can predict the future for five hundred years, and it can predict the future for five hundred years. However, the old man has just acquired it, and his skill is not that deep. He can only know the upper world for ten years and the lower world for ten years. .”

Hu Lu's heart skipped a beat, wondering if he had known the secret of the World Spirit Tree for ten years.

Hu Lu looked at Lao Wei with deep meaning, he couldn't keep this old man!
