Chapter 564: Taoist Nun Qingci? [Mingqian Yunxiao]
What in the world is a new product launch conference?
Wait, isn't this supposed to be the Dao Inquiry Assembly?
Yet another term I've never heard before...
"Mother... oh no, Old Ancestor." Qingxuanzi quietly asked Old Ancestor Qingyun beside him: "You've seen much of the world, do you know what this new product launch conference is?"
Rong Qingyun didn't answer, merely stroking her burning hot cheek, her eyes completely intoxicated: "Heavens, Chen Sword Master is so handsome~"
Qingxuanzi: "No... Mother..."
"Seeing Chen Sword Master makes me want to bear children for him, if only I didn't already have a child! It's all because I gave birth too early! If I didn't have this child... if I didn't have this child!!"
"Can't this damned child just be stuffed back in?"
Qingxuan Daoist: "..."
He didn't dare speak anymore.
Really afraid that one day Old Ancestor Qingyun might actually stuff him back in.
His mother was absolutely capable of doing it.
Yet he remained extremely curious about the new product launch conference.
Fortunately, the Blade Sect leader had already asked the question on his mind.
"Dare I ask, Chen Sword Master, what is a new product launch conference?"
Chen Huaian cleared his throat, pulled out a speech draft longer than he was tall, and solemnly declared: "This venerable one has a dream! That one day, even the entire Cangyun Realm... (omitting one hundred thousand words)...
In short, this venerable one believes the previous Dao Inquiry Assembly was too violent and not peaceful enough, easily causing competition and conflict between sects.
To create a healthy competitive atmosphere among Cangyun Realm sects.
This venerable one is modifying the format of the Dao Inquiry Assembly starting today.
Sects no longer need to determine their strength through combat. Instead, they will rank sect strength based on their specialty products.
As everyone knows, a sect without specialty products must be weak.
While a sect with abundant specialty products must have strong power to protect these specialties.
However, disciple recruitment still requires strength assessment - these aspects remain unchanged!"
These words immediately stirred up waves among the crowd.
Throughout Cangyun Realm's long history, since the Dao Inquiry Assembly's inception, there had never been such drastic changes. And these were complete, revolutionary reforms.
Some cultivators already felt their brains couldn't keep up.
What exactly are sect specialty products?
Everyone looked at each other, discussing animatedly.
At this moment, Bliss Sect leader Wang Dagen suddenly stood up:
"I think I understand what Chen Sword Master means!"
He picked up a porcelain vial and showed it to all the cultivators: "This vial of freshly refined Ninefold Spring is my Bliss Sect's specialty product - no other sect can refine it, hence the concept of special production."
He turned to Chen Huaian, cupping his hands respectfully:
"Chen Sword Master, is this junior's understanding correct?" Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn NoveI-Fire.ɴet
"You are quite correct."
Chen Huaian looked at the Ninefold Spring in the Bliss Sect leader's hand, feeling tempted.
This was really good stuff...
If not for the Bliss Sect's poor reputation, he would have wanted to annex them.
Mainly worried that the Bliss Sect's seductive men and women would corrupt his Moon Shadow Sect disciples.
But the Bliss Sect's Ninefold Spring was truly top-notch!
Felt like he might need it in the future.
Seeing Chen Huaian nod, Wang Dagen breathed a huge sigh of relief.
The demon race's attack on Moon Shadow Sect was partly his fault.
When the demon race asked which sect was strongest in Cangyun Realm and who stole the high-level spirit veins, even though anyone asked would point to Moon Shadow Sect, just speaking it aloud made it his sin!
Fortunately, this Moon Shadow Sect's Chen Sword Master didn't seem interested in pursuing the matter.
He didn't believe that.
The intelligence networks of such Great Ascension Stage powerhouses were terrifying.
Maybe even the color of his underwear was known to the other party.
Could only say that Great Ascension cultivators truly lived up to their reputation.
Their magnanimity was indeed vast.
"Dare I ask Chen Sword Master, are these chairs we're sitting on today, and those female cultivators called technicians, also considered Moon Shadow Sect's specialty products?" someone else asked.
Chen Huaian smiled and nodded: "Naturally they count!"
"Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous!" At this moment, a Void Fusion Realm female cultivator stood up, her cold gaze sweeping the surroundings: "This humble one is Taoist Nun Qingci, and I do not agree with Chen Sword Master's approach. The Dao Inquiry Assembly should involve real combat!
Especially between sect disciples - if they don't spar, how will they face demon beasts outside? Wouldn't it be tragic if they died to demon beasts due to lack of combat experience?
We cultivators find endless joy in competing with others, competing with the earth, competing with the heavens - how can we fear battle? Could it be that Chen Sword Master lacks confidence in his own disciples?"
Chen Huaian frowned at this suddenly appearing taoist nun, wondering who she was, coming out of nowhere with this provocation.
They were all old foxes here - who couldn't detect the provocation in her words?
【Name: Taoist Nun Qingci (???)】
【Cultivation Level: ???】
Chen Huaian snorted coldly - another Great Ascension Stage old monster hiding their identity, probably at second or third heavenly tribulation level.
"Heaven's Calculation, show me who this person is!"
【Calculating heavens' secrets...】
The skies above Moon Shadow Sect suddenly changed, clouds swirling as a golden Thunder Eye slowly opened within the thunderclouds, radiating heart-palpitating pressure.
When had these cultivators ever seen such a spectacle?
Immediately, everyone burst into commotion.
"Heavenly Tribulation! Why would there be heavenly tribulation here?!"
"Who in Moon Shadow Sect is undergoing tribulation?!"
The cultivators' faces changed dramatically, jumping up from their chairs ready to flee.
Qingxuanzi directly hugged Old Ancestor Qingyun's leg: "Mother, emergency situation, let's go quickly! If we're late we'll be caught in the tribulation!"
However, Rong Qingyun still stared obsessively at Chen Huaian: "Scram! Even if it's heavenly tribulation, this humble one will die together with Chen Sword Master~"
Fu Hongyu of Blade Sect had already drawn his treasured blade, watching the sky warily while muttering: "This tribulation's power... it's at least a six-nine heavenly tribulation!"
Bliss Sect's Wang Dagen was so frightened his hand trembled, almost dropping the Ninefold Spring porcelain vial.
Master Yuyao's face instantly turned deathly pale, thinking the tribulation had come for her, subconsciously circulating spiritual energy for protection.
"Everyone, don't panic." Chen Huaian calmly waved his hand, "This isn't heavenly tribulation, it's this venerable one calculating heavenly secrets."
"Chen Sword Master, you really... next time please warn us before calculating heavenly secrets..."
"Exactly, exactly... scared me to death..."
Everyone finally relaxed, but their looks toward Chen Huaian held even greater awe.
Heaven's Calculation that could summon the Thunder Eye - how powerful must that be?!
Probably this Chen Sword Master was already just one step away from immortality.
Meanwhile, Master Yuyao was now facing a great enemy.
Under the Thunder Eye's gaze, she felt like everything about her was being laid bare.
Clearly Chen Huaian suspected her identity and was calculating her origins.
"Stay calm!" She took a deep breath, maintaining her expressionless facade.
She was at third heavenly tribulation Great Ascension Stage, while Chen Huaian was at most second heavenly tribulation.
Chen Huaian couldn't possibly see through her identity!
【Calculation complete... This is your first calculation today, free of charge.】
【Taoist Nun Qingci's true identity is: Master Yuyao.】
So it's Master Yuyao?
Chen Huaian looked meaningfully at Master Yuyao.
This old demon actually delivered herself to his doorstep?
Before he needed to avoid her sharp edge.
Extremely interesting~
