Chapter 334 Chu Yang's Grand gesture! The Fire Cloud Ancestor's boldness!
"Elder Dan... of the Dan Tower?"
"A ninth-grade alchemist?"
Guhe and Fama were both shocked, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
The Pill Tower is a sacred place in the hearts of all alchemists across the continent, and ninth-grade alchemists are legendary figures.
They never imagined that one day they would be personally instructed by a ninth-grade alchemist.
Old Man Lin said irritably, "You're not inviting me to stay as a guest, you're clearly conscripting me!"
Despite saying that, he still looked at Guhe and Fama, and said with a smile, "I observe that the foundations of your soul power are solid, which must have been cultivated over many years. I will lend you two a hand!"
The two thanked him profusely, their faces filled with excitement.
It is worth mentioning that although the Yunlan Sect has developed rapidly, the position of head of the Medicine Hall has remained vacant.
The Gama Empire is located in a remote area, and there are very few high-level alchemists in the northwest region.
Most importantly, although the Yunlan Sect has a solid foundation, it mainly inherits cultivation techniques and combat skills, and is somewhat lacking in alchemy, which makes it less attractive to high-level alchemists.
"Young friend Chu Yang, why don't we build a directional teleportation array between the Pill Tower and the Cloud Mist Sect this time? That way, we can visit each other more often in the future!"
Old Monster Lin noticed the scarcity of alchemists in the Gama Empire and took the initiative to make a suggestion.
Chu Yang smiled and nodded, saying, "That's excellent! However, I won't take advantage of the Pill Tower. Every year, the Pill Tower can recommend a young disciple to exchange and learn with my Yunlan Sect."
"As long as he has enough talent, he can enjoy the same treatment as the disciples of Yunlan Sect."
Old Monster Lin's eyes lit up. If that's the case, could it be that the Pill Tower actually benefited?
The benefits and treatment of Yunlan Sect disciples are unmatched even by the seven ancient clans. After all, as long as one breaks through to the Dou Zong level, one can cultivate Heaven-rank techniques and fighting skills, which is truly a generous offer.
In the Northwest region, Dou Zong is indeed considered a powerful figure, but in the Central State, battles among the younger generation are commonplace!
The Pill Tower is an alchemist faction that wields immense influence, but it lacks top-tier experts directly under its command.
Previously, apart from the elusive Dan Tower Ancestor, the only Dou Sheng expert was this Grand Elder, who was far inferior to the equally renowned Soul Hall.
The privileges Chu Yang granted to the Pill Tower were practically equivalent to opening a path for the Pill Tower to cultivate powerful individuals.
Imagine the resources of the Pill Tower, coupled with its almost endless supply of pills, and the support from the Cloud Mist Sect in terms of cultivation techniques and combat skills...
As long as the candidates sent by the Pill Tower to the Cloud Mist Sect are talented and not stupid, becoming a Dou Zun powerhouse is almost a certainty!
If one possesses exceptional talent and comprehension, even if one cannot lead the younger generation in Zhongzhou, one can at least break through to the Dou Sheng realm in one's later years.
Most importantly, top-tier forces often have very long lifespans. With only one spot available each year, as time goes on, Old Monster Lin even feels that…
One day, the Dan Tower will be able to reach a level comparable to the seven ancient races!
As for the Yunlan Sect?
In Lin Laoguai's view, the Yunlan Sect's potential is too high. With Chu Yang, who is almost a Dou Di, they will be able to surpass the seven ancient clans sooner or later and stand at the top of the continent!
"Hahaha! Young friend Chu Yang, don't forget your old ancestor!"
Suddenly, Old Ancestor Huoyun winked at Chu Yang, then looked at the group of experts from the Yunlan Sect, "I see there are many talented youngsters here. How about I train them for you?"
Chu Yang laughed heartily and said, "Of course, I couldn't be happier!"
Old Ancestor Huoyun thought for a moment, then said, "That girl Huo'er is your personal disciple, and can also be considered a disciple of the Yunlan Sect. Since the relationship between our two families has reached this point..."
"Why not strengthen our ties through marriage and simply let my Burning Flame Valley join the Cloud Mist Sect!"
These words caused an uproar throughout the room. Even Old Monster Lin was shocked, and Chu Yang was also somewhat taken aback.
The Burning Flame Valley has a long history and is a dominant force in the Central Plains. Now, it has actually taken the initiative to propose to merge into the Cloud Mist Sect. This Old Ancestor Fire Cloud is truly extraordinary!
After pondering for a moment, Chu Yang said solemnly, "This matter is of great importance; Senior, you should think it over carefully!"
The Fire Cloud Ancestor waved his hand and said, "What's there to think about? No matter how you look at it, my Burning Flame Valley has benefited the most. Unless we benefit from Huo'er's help, we might not even have the chance to latch onto your coattails!"
Chu Yang shook his head and chuckled, then said directly, "Then let's do it this way..."
"There's no need to force the disciples of Burning Flame Valley to switch allegiance and merge into my Cloud Mist Sect."
"What do you think, Senior, about making Burning Flame Valley the representative of Cloud Mist Sect in Central Continent, and the base for the sect's disciples when they travel in Central Continent?"
"No problem!" Old Ancestor Huoyun readily agreed.
Clearly, he had given this matter considerable thought and reached a consensus with Tang Zhen and the higher-ups of Burning Flame Valley.
Chu Yang added, "Of course, the Yunlan Sect will not mistreat the Burning Flame Valley. Since we are all one family, the affairs of the Burning Flame Valley will be the affairs of the Yunlan Sect from now on!"
"In addition, Burning Flame Valley can send three disciples to Cloud Mist Sect for cultivation each year, and I will select one Heaven-rank cultivation technique and three Heaven-rank combat skills to give to Burning Flame Valley!"
Fire Cloud Ancestor's eyes widened. Although he had planned to curry favor with Chu Yang, he never expected that Chu Yang would be so generous!
They give away Heavenly Rank cultivation techniques and combat skills so readily, and even offer three disciple slots every year. This is simply an incredible benefit!
It should be noted that even the top subordinate forces of the seven ancient clans, or even some of their collateral bloodlines, do not receive such treatment.
After finalizing the matter, Chu Yang, along with Nalan Yanran, Tang Huo'er, and Old Ancestor Huoyun, headed to Yunlan Mountain.
As for cleaning up the battlefield, that should naturally be left to the Yan Alliance, since they are the nominal ruling power of the Jia Ma Empire.
The relationship between Yunlan Sect and Yan Alliance is similar to that between Yan Alliance and the Snake-People Clan. Although it is not considered subordinate, there is still a distinction between primary and secondary.
From then on, the relationship between Burning Flame Valley and Cloud Mist Sect would be like that between the Soul Clan and the Soul Palace.
It is not entirely subordinate in the traditional sense, but Burning Flame Valley will follow the lead of Cloud Mist Sect, and the two are closely connected.
As long as certain critical issues are not involved, Burning Flame Valley is relatively independent on a daily basis.
Upon returning to Yunlan Mountain, Chu Yang selected a cultivation technique comparable to the high-level Heaven Rank, along with one each of the low-level, mid-level, and high-level Heaven Rank combat skills, and presented them all to Ancestor Huoyun.
These cultivation techniques and combat skills are all fire-attribute, which suits the disciples of Burning Flame Valley. Even if they change their cultivation techniques, their foundation will not be damaged.
At the same time, Chu Yang also pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of inheriting the Nine Dragons Thunderfire and provided a targeted solution.
The Five Great Masters of Chaos!
This powerful martial art, which Chu Yang created in the Fengyun World based on the Four Great Chaos Techniques and replacing wind, rain, thunder, and fire with the power of the Five Elements, is now comparable to a high-level Heaven-rank Dou Technique on the Dou Qi Continent.
Moreover, the Five Great Masters of Chaos have a certain growth ceiling, which can reach the peak of the Heavenly Rank, or even surpass the Heavenly Rank!
To give a simple example, if you use a different kind of fire to replace the fire attribute among the five elements, the power will be increased depending on the ranking of the different kind of fire. The same applies to the other four attributes.
By using the Five Ultimate Techniques of Chaos, the limitations imposed on the inheritor's potential by the Nine Dragons Thunderfire can be perfectly resolved.
However, breaking through this constraint is difficult; it requires collecting four attribute treasures that are no less powerful than the Strange Fire.
Of course, if successful, the ultimate potential will be very high.
Chu Yang left Burning Flame Valley with two paths: one is to accumulate strength and unleash it through the Five Great Masters of Chaos.
The other path is to cultivate the Heavenly Rank cultivation technique he gave us; how far we can go depends entirely on ourselves.
While shocked by this, the Fire Cloud Ancestor was also filled with gratitude.
He had thought that at most he would only get some low-level Heaven-rank cultivation techniques and fighting skills, but he did not expect that Chu Yang would not only give him a high-level Heaven-rank cultivation technique, but also fighting skills of different levels.
Among them, the high-level Heaven-rank combat skill even has an upper limit to its growth and can resolve the hidden dangers of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire inheritance!
However, he also knew that the reason why Burning Flame Valley was able to obtain so many benefits was partly because their boldness won Chu Yang's favor.
But on the other hand, it's probably because of Tang Huo'er!
Tang Huo'er's talent is definitely not top-notch in Zhongzhou, but she must be extremely popular with Chu Yang.
He was of course unaware that in Chu Yang's eyes, Tang Huo'er was definitely a top-tier prodigy.
With a pure and innocent heart, he is simply the perfect candidate to practice Tai Chi!
When Tai Chi makes a name for itself on the Dou Qi Continent one day, everyone will know that Tang Huo'er is a seriously underestimated genius.
Having obtained the cultivation techniques and combat skills, the Fire Cloud Ancestor excitedly went to train the disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect, and patted his chest to assure Chu Yang that he would definitely raise the overall strength of the Cloud Mist Sect disciples to a higher level!
Chu Yang had no doubt about this. A Dou Sheng expert personally guiding disciples whose cultivation levels were generally below Dou Zong would surely help them make rapid progress in their cultivation.
At the same time, Nalan Yanran had arranged many matters after the battle for Yunlan Sect and came to the small courtyard behind the mountain where Chu Yang was.
In the courtyard, Chu Yang and Nalan Yanran sat facing each other at a stone table.
Tang Huo'er approached with a cup of tea, bowed, and presented it to Nalan Yanran with both hands, saying respectfully, "Master, please have some tea!"
Nalan Yanran felt a little embarrassed by her, after all, the two were about the same age and their strength and cultivation were also comparable.
Glancing at Chu Yang's mocking face, Nalan Yanran quickly stood up, took the tea, sipped it, placed it on the table, then took Tang Huo'er's hand and said with a smile:
"Fire, let's skip these formalities. We're family, no need for so many rules!"
"But since you've offered me tea, as your senior disciple, I should at least give you a small gift..."
As she spoke, she took out a crystal-clear fruit that resembled a jade bead from her storage ring.
"I obtained this Bodhi seed by chance from the tomb of an ancient powerful figure."
Nalan Yanran glanced at Chu Yang, then said, "Let your irresponsible teacher refine it into the Bodhi Great Rejuvenation Pill. It will definitely help you break through to Dou Sheng when you reach the peak of Dou Zun!"
"It's said that the formula for the Bodhi Great Rejuvenating Elixir isn't known on the mainland, but with your teacher's abilities, I'm sure this little problem won't stump him!"
With her sarcastic remarks and attempts to flatter him to death, Nalan Yanran was clearly retaliating against Chu Yang's earlier gloating.
Chu Yang retorted irritably, "What do you mean by irresponsible? I gave Huo'er my most treasured inheritance!"
Tang Huo'er had naturally heard of the Bodhi seeds and the Bodhi Great Rejuvenating Pill, and quickly waved her hand, saying, "Auntie, this is too precious!"
She knew that Nalan Yanran had not yet broken through to the Dou Sheng realm, and both the Bodhi Seed and the Bodhi Great Rejuvenation Pill were of vital importance to her.
"Since you call me 'Master Aunt,' then take it!" Nalan Yanran put on a stern face, pretending to be serious.
"This..." Tang Huo'er hesitated and looked at Chu Yang.
Chu Yang waved his hand and said, "Since this is a gift from your aunt, just accept it!"
Tang Huo'er nodded, carefully putting away the Bodhi seed, and her gaze toward Nalan Yanran became even more affectionate.
She then suggested that she take a walk around the sect and voluntarily left the courtyard to make it easier for Chu Yang and Nalan Yanran to talk.
"You've taken on a fine disciple!" Nalan Yanran looked at Tang Huo'er's retreating figure with a satisfied expression.
Chu Yang curled his lip and said, "When has my judgment ever been bad?"
After hesitating for a moment, Nalan Yanran asked, "When do you plan to leave again this time?"
"One month, one month later, I will return to Zhongzhou."
"So soon?" Nalan Yanran frowned.
Chu Yang shrugged and said, "My display of strength this time will surely cause a sensation on the continent."
"The seven ancient clans will not let me suppress them; they will definitely take action."
"If I stay in Yunlan Sect, I will drag the entire sect into this mess."
"The Yunlan Sect needs time and a process of development to grow stronger; it is not advisable to get involved in the turmoil."
"I'll keep them occupied in Zhongzhou, and I wouldn't mind beating them so badly they wouldn't dare retaliate!"
Chu Yang spoke casually, but the meaning behind his words was extremely domineering.
"Okay, okay! I know you're amazing! I know you're a very busy person!" Nalan Yanran pouted, looking rather aggrieved.
In her heart, the closest people were Yun Yun and Chu Yang, but both of them went to Zhongzhou, leaving her alone in the Jia Ma Empire, which made her very depressed.
Unfortunately, he also had the huge Yunlan Sect to manage, so he couldn't spare the time.
Chu Yang smiled and said, "If you want to unload your burdens, then take on a disciple as soon as possible. When he can stand on his own, you can also become a hands-off manager!"
"Easy for you to say. Finding a successor with impeccable character and talent is not that easy." Nalan Yanran rolled her eyes.
Chu Yang's heart skipped a beat. "What do you think of Xiao Xiao?"
Nalan Yanran paused for a moment, then shook her head and smiled wryly, "Xiao Xiao's talent and strength are undoubtedly remarkable, but her temperament is still immature. How can she manage the sect?"
Chu Yang chuckled and said, "Don't underestimate her. She's been a powerful figure in the Monster Mountain for over a hundred years!"
"She may lack experience in managing a sect, but her overall perspective is definitely not bad."
"The sect leader doesn't need to do everything personally, otherwise, why would there be so many elders just for show?"
"That's settled then. I'll have Xiaoxiao stay by your side and learn how to manage the sect!"
