Inside Danxia Peak.
Three figures, walking side by side.
The one in the lead was not the host, Luo Chen, but Dan Taijun.
She stood in the middle, surveying today’s arrangement of the Luo Tian Creed.
"It’s lively enough, but in some aspects, it’s too vulgar, and some areas are even overstepping boundaries."
This was a comment from a true disciple of the Golden Core Great Sect.
Luo Chen expresses his helplessness, "After all, we are lacking in depth. In terms of ceremony and etiquette, many things were not done thoroughly."
Dan Taijun nodded slightly.
"That’s not a big problem, after all, your purpose is not merely a foundation establishment celebration."
Luo Chen smiled slightly, understanding her reasoning.
Tao Yisheng, who was standing on the side, hadn’t spoken a word all this time.
Although he held a prestigious position, representing Qingdan Valley Tao Wen.
But with Dan Taijun, who was no lesser than Tao Wen, present, there was naturally no chance for him to steal the limelight.
However, regarding the hidden meanings in the conversation of the two, he was somewhat puzzled.
They now arrived at the open plaza outside the main hall.
Zuo Song, Chen Xiuli, and others had already come out to welcome them.
Looking at these people, Dan Taijun raised an eyebrow, gave Luo Chen a deep look, and then took three items out of her storage bag.
"Little gifts, unworthy of your respect."
Seeing these three things, Luo Chen raised an eyebrow.
"What are these?"
Dan Taijun chuckled lightly and clearly articulated in front of the representatives of many family sects.
"One Foundation Establishment Pill, hoping that Luo Tian Creed will continue to produce talents."
"One ice divine jade, which is for President Sima Huiniang of Luo Tian, I wish her cultivation improves."
"A disposable jade slip, containing the Core Formation Secret Art of the Ice Castle, hoping that Fire Spirit Lord Luo Chen will one day reach Core Formation, and have insights into the Great Dao Path of Golden Core!"
Such a congratulatory gift!
Such a congratulatory gift!
Almost immediately when Dan Taijun finished talking.
All Foundation Establishment True Cultivators present were taken aback, without exception.
Their eyes fell on that jade slip, hot enough to seemingly melt the void.
That was the Core Formation Secret Art!
This Luo Chen, what merit does he have, that he would be so valued by the Ice Castle!
The Core Formation Secret Art was actually given to him as a gift!
Not to mention the outsiders, even Luo Chen himself, was utterly astounded at this moment.
He had once brazenly asked Dan Taijun for the Core Formation Secret Art.
But at that time, he was directly rejected on the spot.
There was not even a slight room for negotiation.
But now...
"Why is she so generous?"
Luo Chen swallowed a lump in his throat.
Looking at the calm face of Dan Taijun, he couldn’t help saying, "Friend Dan Tai, this..."
"How, don’t you like it?"
"No!" Luo Chen quickly shook his head, like a wave drum, under the countless eyes that seemed ready to devour him, his voice hoarse, "Is it not too... precious?"
Dan Taijun glanced at Luo Chen with a seemingly smiling expression.
When you asked for it initially, you did not consider whether the Core Formation Secret Art was too precious.
Now that I give it to you in front of everyone, you abruptly don’t dare to accept it?
Seeing his flustered appearance, Dan Taijun leisurely said, "It’s just a mere Core Formation Secret Art, it’s nothing to my Ice Castle. As long as Luo Tian Creed will form a lasting friendship with my Jueqing’s clan and work together, that’s enough."
After finishing, she did not wait for Luo Chen to respond.
She flicked her sleeve and walked into the main hall.
The Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, subconsciously followed her in.
This scene had greatly implied that she was taking control.
Luo Chen’s expression momentarily shifted.
With the jade slip, seemingly molded from icy chillness in his hands, he felt an incredible heaviness.
He had woken up from his initial shock and realized the other party’s intentions.
Taking over control!
Well played taking over control!
He wanted to borrow power to exert force, and they were willing to lend him power, but the power lent was so great that it has overwhelmed the original balance of Luo Chen’s side.
At this moment, he was afraid that in front of everyone.
Everyone had already seen Luo Tian Creed as a true vassal of the Ice Castle!
After all, who would gift out their precious Core Formation Secret Art if they were not a direct vassal?
"The hunter gets hunted by the prey."
"I really underestimated these sect elites!"
As his expression was fluctuating.
Tao Yisheng, who was by his side, had also presented his gift.
"Brother Luo, I arrived in a hurry, so here’s a little gift, unworthy of your respect."
Luo Chen instinctively accepted the gift.
Several elixirs and herbs.
All were beneficial items for a Foundation Establishment Stage Female Cultivator.
However, there was nothing specifically for Luo Chen.
After all, in name, this celebration was still for Sima Huiniang.
"Friend Tao, you are too polite."
Luo Chen accompanied Tao Yisheng towards the main hall.
Tao Yisheng praised, "Among the Seven Sects of Yu Ding, the Ice Castle has the least number of vassals. I didn’t expect Luo Tian Creed to be so highly valued by them! Indeed, my judgement wasn’t wrong. Friend, you are not an ordinary person. Even in this densely populated Tian Lan Immortal City, you can still forge your own path!"
"Friend, you praise me too much."
Luo Chen responded mechanically.
Tao Yisheng was unaware of his thoughts and noticed that he seemed a bit distracted, so he reduced the conversation.
Entering the main hall.
Under the arrangement of the maids, many Foundation Establishment cultivators were already seated.
There was an obvious careful layout of the seats.
High up, two seats were left vacant, one was for Luo Chen, who was already seated.
The other vacant one was obviously kept for someone else.
On the same elevated platform, Dan Taijun and Tao Yisheng sat opposite each other, they represented the Golden Core Great Sect.
Below them.
The hall was divided into two sides, with rows of tables extended, each True Cultivator sat cross-legged, and the tables were already filled with fruits, spirits, and tea.
The more powerful the group, the closer they sat to the front.
Like Zuo Song and Luo Feng, they sat very close to the front.
Not only did they have powerful backing, but they also possessed the formidable late-stage Foundation Establishment realm.
