Subsequently, Pang Zongxian, at the behest of Master Tan, announced the results of the lottery.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang Meng and Fellow Daoist Sun Qing will draw blank jade slips and the winner will be determined by a duel between the two."
"Fellow Daoist Xiao will draw the jade slip with the character 'Ghost' and will fight against the 13th-tier 'Ghost Slave' under Sect Master Tan. Of course, this 'Ghost Slave' will simulate the strength of Fellow Daoists Zhang and Sun, and at most be equivalent to the two of them."
Pang Zongxian spoke in a calm and unbiased manner.
"The final ownership of the 'quasi-third-tier' spiritual veins will depend on the three of you each displaying your unique abilities."
Master Tan chuckled, and a sinister aura, far surpassing that of a second-tier cultivator, emanated from his body, gathering in front of him to form a tangible black shadow that stood respectfully beside him.
It seems that these must be the 'ghost slaves' that Pang Zongxian mentioned earlier.
"This 'ghost slave' is a ghost creature at the early stage of the third tier!"
With Lin Changsheng's divine sense, which was comparable to the early stage of the Golden Core realm, it was not difficult for him to perceive the 'ghost slave's' cultivation level.
Sun Qing, who was standing to the side, looked somewhat gloating after learning the results of the draw.
After hearing the rules, Xiao Baoqi, who drew the jade slip with the character 'ghost', immediately wilted. He seemed to have some complaints about the result, but he couldn't express his opinion because Master Tan was present. He could only sigh with a frustrated expression.
……
Soon, the surrounding crowd stepped back slightly, making room for them.
Only Lin Changsheng and Sun Qing remained in the room.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, please!"
Sun Qing's eyes blazed with fighting spirit, his entire body surged with magical power, and a scorching aura rippled outwards.
"please."
Lin Changsheng remained calm and composed.
When his scorching fire attribute aura reached the limit of the peak of Foundation Establishment, Sun Qing took out an exquisite jade box from his sleeve, took out a pill the size of a longan, chewed it, and swallowed it.
boom!
As if adding fuel to the fire, the aura that had grown to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage surged again, and his aura was almost at the level of a pseudo-core cultivator!
"This is a pill that I, Sun, accidentally discovered after improving several pill formulas. It can stimulate potential in a short time and has very few side effects. I apologize for the inconvenience!"
Sun Qing's words carried a hint of arrogance.
Lin Changsheng glanced silently at Tan Zhenren and Pang Zongxian not far away.
Seeing that the two did not call a halt to the fight, it was clear that they tacitly approved of the existence of this external force.
Without further hesitation, he immediately unleashed a powerful surge of qi and blood from his entire body!
In an instant, dust and sand flew up within a ten-foot radius around him.
In an instant, Lin Changsheng rushed to Sun Qing like an arrow released from a bow, his figure so fast that it left afterimages!
"Near-Third-Order Body Refinement!"
Sun Qing's arrogant expression froze. Under his shocked gaze, Lin Changsheng, like a tiger pouncing on its prey, unleashed a powerful punch imbued with the power of blood and qi!
The magical shield he hastily activated was easily destroyed by the power of his blood and qi!
Under the opponent's overwhelming attack, Sun Qing was sent flying backwards and landed heavily five or six zhang away.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The hot blood still contained half a pill that had not been fully digested.
Sun Qing's face turned pale, and his aura, which had just risen to the level of a pseudo-core, instantly plummeted back to the late stage of foundation building, becoming much weaker than before.
"Accepted."
A few breaths later, Lin Changsheng's qi and blood dissipated, and he calmly clasped his hands and said.
It was as if he had only done something trivial.
"Humph."
Sun Qing swayed as he stood up, instantly defeated. He even vomited up the pills he had just taken, which made him lose face. He could only respond with a slight fist salute before closing his eyes to meditate.
Seeing this, Xiao Baoqi, who was standing to the side looking sullen, was shocked but also deeply gratified. He just gave Lin Changsheng a long look.
What was expected to be a closely contested battle turned out to be easily resolved by Zhang Meng.
Near-third-level body refinement? I never expected Zhang Meng to be so secretive. His body refinement level is even higher than mine!
"Zhang Meng wins, near-Tier 3 Rune Master!"
Master Tan paused for a moment, glanced at the somewhat injured Sun Qing, and announced the result of the duel.
"Thank you, Master Tan."
Lin Changsheng clasped his hands in thanks, his face expressionless.
Next, Xiao Baoqi will engage in a magical duel with the 'ghost servant' under Master Tan.
Because Lin Changsheng won, the 'Ghost Slave' took his strength into account and suppressed his own aura to the quasi-third level.
Xiao Baoqi is not only a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, but he also cultivates his physical body, reaching the late-stage second tier.
With the added advantage of being a weapon refiner, he possesses many strange and unusual magical artifacts, and even has a 'pseudo-magical treasure' as his trump card.
His overall strength is no less than that of an ordinary fake alchemist.
After fighting for a long time with the ghost slave whose aura was suppressed at the 'quasi-third level', Master Tan stopped him halfway through.
"I have a general idea of the strength of the three of you. I have decided to let Zhang Meng, the talisman master, join the Ghost Valley Sect and become its sixth elder."
Master Tan calmly announced the results, his words carrying an air of unquestionable authority.
Lin Changsheng was somewhat taken aback upon hearing this.
He originally thought that he would have to fight Xiao Baoqi again before deciding on the final choice.
Unexpectedly, this Master Tan directly designated him.
"Hehe, congratulations, Fellow Daoist Zhang Meng. From now on, we will truly be from the same sect."
Pang Zongxian offered his congratulations with a smile.
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Zhang Meng, on joining the Ghost Valley Sect!"
The woman in plain clothes standing to the side, unusually, offered her congratulations, her eyes, like peach blossoms, fixed on Lin Changsheng.
"Thank you, Master Huang."
Lin Changsheng was somewhat puzzled by those beautiful eyes, but still responded politely.
Sun Qing, the defeated opponent, remained silent, but a look of envy appeared in his eyes.
Xiao Baoqi, who had been locked in a fierce battle with the ghost slave for a long time, was panting heavily, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.
“Junior Brother Pang, please take Fellow Daoist Huang and the other two to Green Wilderness Immortal City and treat them well. I will make arrangements when I return later.”
Master Tan then made arrangements for the other people.
Lin Changsheng stood quietly to the side, waiting respectfully.
From this day forward, he will be the sixth lineage elder of the Guigu Sect.
This is the first time in his hundred years of cultivating immortality that he has joined a sect or faction.
Even considering the 400 years of experience of "Heavenly Poison Master", it is still like a young woman getting married for the first time.
The change in identity may require some time to adjust to.
“Fellow Daoist Zhang Meng will be the master of the sixth lineage of my Ghost Valley Sect in the future. This mountain range has not yet been named after it has been cultivated to a minor degree. You are the master of this place, so this matter is up to you to decide.”
"Furthermore, there are many things you need to understand after joining my Ghost Valley Sect..."
……
half year later.
Dressed in a black and gold robe, Lin Changsheng propelled the Water Cloud Boat, his figure hovering atop the mountain peak. Gazing at the gradually improving main hall and the various buildings under construction, he was extremely satisfied.
Then, his gaze turned to a towering, steep mountain peak.
On the mountainside shrouded in mist, the three magnificent characters 'Mingling Peak' are carved.
