"Brother Li, you're a bit late!
Look, all the good spots have been taken. "Qi Liang said with a smile.
"It's okay.
Han Li shook his head and said indifferently, "What's the point of being concerned about the distance between us?"
"Haha, you're indeed Brother Li. No wonder your cultivation level has improved so much!
I'm afraid that in less than ten thousand years, once Brother Li enters the late stage, one of the thirty-six positions will be yours. When that time comes, don't forget about me. "Qi Liang chuckled as he spoke.
"Brother Qi, you must be joking. Unless I can directly comprehend the Dao in this Dao Discussion Conference, how can I advance so quickly in ten thousand years?" Han Li blinked his eyes and said with a wry smile.
"By the way, I haven't seen Brother Li in the last few days. Could it be that you've found some good secret treasures?" Qi Liang laughed and changed the topic.
"If it's so easy to find good secret treasures, they wouldn't be called good secret treasures.
In the last few days, I suddenly had some urgent matters to deal with, so I was delayed. That's why I rushed here. "Han Li laughed and said vaguely.
"Yes, I thought that I could take advantage of this rare event to search for good things. I didn't expect that there would still be no trace of good things …" Qi Liang sighed and said.
While Han Li and Qi Liang were chatting, they suddenly heard a deafening buzzing sound coming from the sky.
The two of them quickly raised their heads and looked in the direction of the sound.
They saw that the clouds in the sky were rolling, and a huge purple lightning suddenly fell from it. It went straight to a place on the white jade platform and turned into a dazzling light.
After the light faded, a dozen or so figures emerged from within.
The leader was wearing a purple robe. His facial features were very ordinary, and he had thin eyebrows. He was the Dao Master on duty at the Fire Dragon Sect, Ouyang Kuishan.
Behind him were more than ten people in different clothes. Each of them had a serious expression. Although their aura was restrained, many people from the Fire Dragon Sect recognized that these people were the Vice Dao Masters of the sect.
When Ou Yangkui Shan, who was in the lead, sat down on the first row to the left of the round cauldron, the people behind him found their own cushions and sat down.
As soon as the dozen or so people appeared on the white jade platform, the True Immortal elders and personal disciples sitting cross-legged on the stone steps all sat up straight. The noise in the square gradually quieted down. Even the trade gathering at the foot of the mountain stopped. Everyone was either sitting or standing in silence.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the area within a radius of a thousand miles around the white jade platform became completely silent.
In less than the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, another golden hurricane whizzed over from the distant horizon. As it approached the high platform, its momentum weakened, and seven or eight figures appeared.
The two people in the lead looked very strange.
One of them looked no different from an ordinary woman at first glance, but her skin was light silver, her ears were slender and slightly pointed, and her figure was exquisite. The other strong man standing beside her had golden hair on his face and scales on his eyelids.
Behind the two of them were five or six men and women of different shapes, and they were not of the human race.
The silver-skinned woman and the golden-haired strong man just nodded at Ou Yangkui Shan, then sat down on the cushions next to him. The people behind them also sat down one after another.
Although Han Li had never seen these people before, it was not difficult to guess from their demeanor that the two people in the lead were also Golden Immortal Dao Masters. The people behind them were also of high status, and they were Vice Dao Masters.
Not long after these people appeared, a woman in a black dress with a black veil covering her face flew over on a giant black crow with shiny black feathers.
Different from the situation before, this woman came alone, and no one followed behind her. After greeting Ou Yangkui Shan, she found a cushion not far away from him and sat down.
Right behind her was a handsome man with a golden wheel on his back, and his golden hair hung loosely on his shoulders. Unlike the woman in a black dress, there were 15 Vice Daolords standing behind him ….
During the next hour, many more Daoists and Vice Daoists arrived one after another. When there were only two empty seats left on the first row of cushions on the left side of the cauldron, Daoist Huyan and Yun Ni finally arrived together. They were late.
Today, not only did Taoist Hu Yan change into a brand new moon-white robe, his hair was neatly combed, and even the beard on his face was neatly trimmed. He seemed to be quite interested in this grand meeting.
Yun Ni, on the other hand, walked beside him with a faint smile on her face. Her every frown and smile was still extremely charming. However, many Golden Immortal Dao Masters and Deputy Dao Masters lowered their heads when they saw this, not daring to take another look.
When Ou Yangkui Shan saw Huyan I and Yun Ni appear at the same time, the corner of his eyes involuntarily twitched. Then, he stood up for the first time and smiled at the two of them.
"Taoist Hu Yan, Taoist Yun, the two of you are finally here. Now, everyone is here."
"Since Dao Master Baili is not here yet, we shouldn't be late, right?" Huyan I glanced at Ou Yangkui Shan and said.
"Of course.
However, it's almost time. The friends from your sect will be here soon. Both of you, please take your seats. "Ou Yangkui Shan glanced at Yun Ni and said with a smile.
Taoist Huyan only nodded indifferently and walked toward the two empty praying mats with Yun Ni.
Han Li sat cross-legged and looked at these people that he had never seen before. He noticed that among the 12 Golden Immortal Dao Masters, other than the two from before, there was a man from the Demon Clan, and the rest were all humans. As for the 36 Vice Dao Masters, the only ones who were not humans were those who came with the two foreign Dao Masters.
In fact, among these people, he only knew a few of them, including Xiong Shan.
These dozens of people almost represented the core strength of the entire Fire Dragon Taoist Path. At this moment, they were gathered at the top of White Jade Peak. Although they had restrained their aura, it made everyone around them feel an indescribable suffocating feeling.
The scene became quieter, and the atmosphere became somewhat solemn.
About 15 minutes later, in the distant sky, a ball of colorful light suddenly appeared. It flew at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and a giant colorful camel appeared.
The camel was about a thousand feet long, and its body was engraved with circles of colorful spiritual marks. The two humps on its back were like small mountains. On the front hump, there was a pale-faced old man wearing a colorful feather robe and holding a treasure vase.
"Five Color Sect's Yu Yang Zi is invited to attend the ceremony." The old man approached the high platform and said loudly.
"Taoist Yu Yang Zi, long time no see. You are still as elegant as before!
I wonder if you have any surplus of the Five Color Pill?
I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I couldn't buy it. "Ouyang Kuishan saw this and greeted him with a smile.
"Haha, Brother Ouyang, what are you talking about!
Let's not talk about others but if you want it, I can still take out these two or three bottles. "YuYang Zi landed on the white jade platform and said with a smile.
"Very well.
I also have some Futian soil here. Are you interested? "Ouyang Kuishan said.
"Is that true?
If you really have this soil, no matter how much it is, I am willing to exchange it. "Yu Yang Zi was surprised and said quickly.
"Taoist Yu Yang Zi, don't be anxious. When this is over, come to my place and have a drink of tea. How about it?" Ouyang Kuishan invited.
"Okay!
It's a deal. "Yu Yang Zi quickly nodded and said.
Although his Five Color Sect was not as good as the Candle Dragon Sect, it was still a famous sect in the Northern Frosty Celestial Realm. Therefore, he was arranged to sit on the futon in the first row on the right side of the round cauldron.
Not long after, a black light came from the sky. This time, it was a huge black inkstone. There were plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum engraved on it. It looked very exquisite.
"Master Mo of the Fu Xu Palace, invited to attend the ceremony." A hoarse and deep voice came from the inkstone.
As a black light flashed in the sky, the black inkstone disappeared. A dark-skinned old man less than five feet tall appeared. He was stroking his thick beard.
"So it's Master Mo …" Ouyang Kuishan stood up and bowed to the old man.
In the end, the dark-skinned elder only slightly saluted and walked past him. Ou Yangkui Shan was a little startled, but his expression didn't change as he sat down.
"Old Zui, why haven't you come to my Fu Xu Palace in the last ten thousand years?
Could it be that you've forgotten about your drinking buddy? "The old man walked a few steps closer to Taoist Hu Yan and said with a smile.
"Hey, you black drunkard, you still have the nerve to talk about me!
You've been in seclusion for tens of thousands of years. Tell me, how many times have I been rejected at your place?
However, you've come at just the right time. I've accumulated quite a bit of good wine here. It's not inferior to your Inky Cloud Spirit Wine. "Old Taoist Huyan's eyebrows twitched, but then he spoke rather complacently.
Master Mo heard this and immediately blew his beard. He glared and shouted, "Is there any wine in this world that tastes better than the Inky Cloud Spirit Wine that I personally brewed?
Don't boast, you old drunkard. Before, when did you beat me when we competed in drinking? "
"Ahem, we'll see whether I'm boasting or not after the ceremony." Taoist Hu Yan coughed a few times. As he spoke, he glanced at Yun Ni from the corner of his eye.
"Hehe, don't disappoint me …" Master Mo heard this and suddenly smiled. He walked to the right side of the round cauldron and sat next to Yu Yang Zi.
Not long after, the prayer mats on the right side of the round cauldron were filled with people. Half of them were still empty.
It wasn't that there weren't many people from other sects who came to watch the ceremony. In fact, there were far more sects that came to watch the ceremony. However, most of the smaller sects and weaker forces weren't qualified to sit on the high white jade platform. They were arranged to sit in another area of the plaza.
