Chapter 1 Red Peak

Right now.

Lu Changsheng deeply understood what a bad thing lying was.

Some say that lies are like snowballs. When they roll down, they only get bigger and bigger until they are melted by the sun.

Blame Liu Qingfeng?

There was no need. After all, he was the one who lied.

The only thing he could do now was to bite the bullet and maintain his 'profoundly unfathomable' image.

Because people are unwilling to believe that a bandit's name is Mu Zhi; they prefer to believe it's Zhang Mazi.

Oh well, whatever. Never mind.

Lu Changsheng was too lazy to think. He only hoped that nothing unexpected would happen during tomorrow's Grand Luo Ceremony.

Time passed bit by bit.

Soon, it was midnight.

According to the arrangements for the Grand Luo Ceremony,

Lu Changsheng would go to the Grand Luo Immortal Pool at midnight to bathe and change clothes.

At two in the morning, he would burn incense and pray.

From three to five in the morning, he would quietly rest in the Grand Luo Palace.

At eight in the morning, he would go to the Altar of Heaven.

The ceremony would basically be over by ten in the morning.

Midnight.

Grand Luo Immortal Pool.

Lu Changsheng soaked in the Immortal Pool, feeling the warm water washing over his body, and couldn't help but let out a sound!

This pool had miraculous effects. If you were injured, soaking in the pool for an hour would restore you to full health.

If you had nothing to do, you could also take a bath here to speed up your cultivation.

Unfortunately, the Grand Luo Immortal Pool was only for important people to soak in on important occasions. Lu Changsheng wished he could soak in the pool every day and never leave.

"Senior Brother! Senior Brother!"

Soon, footsteps sounded, and Liu Qingfeng arrived.

The Immortal Pool was filled with misty qi and rising water vapor. Lu Changsheng looked at Liu Qingfeng jogging over and slowly said,

"Did you spread the rumors outside?"

With one sentence, the cheerful Liu Qingfeng was instantly stunned.

"Rumors? What rumors?"

Liu Qingfeng didn't know what had happened. He had gone home, busied himself with many things, and received a lot of guidance from his father. He had just returned and didn't know what was going on.

"Now the entire sect is spreading rumors that I will ascend to immortality today. Don't you know?"

Lu Changsheng asked, wanting to know what this rumor-spreading expert was thinking.

"Ascend to immortality? Senior Brother, I'm innocent! I keep my mouth shut, really!"

Liu Qingfeng would definitely not admit to such a thing. Without solid evidence, he would not suffer such a loss.

Lu Changsheng had nothing to say. It wasn't a very important matter anyway. Let it spread. He wouldn't suffer any loss.

"What are you doing here?"

Lu Changsheng continued to ask.

"Oh, Senior Brother, I was ordered by the Sect Leader to bring you clothes."

Liu Qingfeng explained his purpose.

"Good. Just leave the clothes here."

As the Eldest Senior Brother, his attire naturally had to be better. He had previously worn the inner disciple robe, but now that he was about to be conferred the title of Eldest Senior Brother, he naturally had to improve his image.

"Okay, then this junior brother won't disturb Senior Brother."

Soon, Liu Qingfeng waved his hand, and several jade boxes appeared outside the Immortal Pool.

There were four jade boxes in total.

The first jade box contained a white and cyan robe embroidered with a qilin.

The second jade box contained a pair of Azure Cloud White Sun Boots.

The third jade box contained an Azure Cloud Golden Thread Belt.

The fourth jade box contained a White Jade Seven-Star Crown.

Lu Changsheng knew what these things were.

The famous Azure Cloud Qilin Set of Grand Luo, forged by hundreds of Grand Luo Holy Land's artifact refining elders over ninety-nine eighty-one years.

Whether it was the material or other aspects, it had been tempered countless times.

Just the qilin on the robe alone was hand-sewn by the famous and incredibly skilled artisans of the Seven Show Palace. Each thread was spun by ten-thousand-year-old ice silkworms. Just one thread was worth tens of thousands of catties of spirit stones.

One robe was enough to buy a third-rate sect.

Moreover, these things were all top-grade magic treasures. For example, if the Azure Cloud Qilin Robe encountered danger, the qilin would revive and withstand a full-force strike from a Nascent Soul Realm expert. The boots were even more extraordinary. They could reach extreme speeds with just a wisp of spiritual energy.

And the belt could store spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If one's own spiritual energy was insufficient, the belt would directly infuse a large amount of spiritual energy into the dantian.

As for the jade crown, it was also special. Engraved with the Big Dipper constellation, it could absorb the power of the Big Dipper and accelerate cultivation.

It could be said that each item was priceless.

This was the style of the Holy Land.

Half an hour later, Lu Changsheng walked out of the Immortal Pool. The water droplets on his body all automatically evaporated, turning into mist.

With a wave of his hand, the Azure Cloud Qilin Robe seemed to have intelligence and flew up directly, putting itself on him without Lu Changsheng having to do anything.

The robe had two layers, but it was very light, warm in winter and cool in summer, and emitted a fragrance.

Soon, the Azure Cloud Golden Thread Belt automatically tightened around his waist, and the jade crown also flew up and automatically styled Lu Changsheng's hair.

With another lift of his foot, the boots also put themselves on.

Very good, Lu Changsheng was nine-tenths satisfied. The only missing tenth was the lack of flashing light, meaning it hadn't been enhanced to level thirteen.

Of course, even if it could flash, Lu Changsheng wouldn't do that.

Because it was too dazzling. His temperament was one of detachment and refinement. Things that were too flashy didn't suit him.

Keeping a low profile was the key.

Soon, Lu Changsheng walked out of the Immortal Pool.

Liu Qingfeng waited quietly outside the Immortal Pool.

Hearing footsteps, Liu Qingfeng looked up.

But just this one look up,

Liu Qingfeng instantly lost himself.

The water mist filled the air.

Like a fairyland.

Lu Changsheng slowly walked out, like an immortal descending to earth. His facial features were exquisitely perfect, his eight-foot body neither too fat nor too thin, and his eyes seemed to have seen all the changes in the world, indifferent to worldly affairs.

Now wearing the Azure Cloud Qilin Robe, he displayed the demeanor of a Daoist immortal to the fullest.

If he held a flying sword in his hand, he would be a sword immortal who slayed demons and exterminated evil.

If he held a scroll of scriptures, he would be a Confucian sage wandering the world.

If he held a battle halberd, he would be an invincible god general.

Every move, every word, every glance, every look, showed the demeanor of an immortal.

Perhaps, this was what an immortal was like.

Or perhaps, even ordinary immortals were not as extraordinary and refined as him.

At this moment, Liu Qingfeng thoroughly understood why the Sect Leader chose him as the Eldest Senior Brother.

"Qingfeng greets Senior Brother."

Coming back to his senses, Liu Qingfeng's face was serious. He cupped his hands and bowed deeply.

"Let's go burn incense and pray."

Lu Changsheng said, walking past Liu Qingfeng.

Today was the grand ceremony.

It didn't matter if they joked around on normal days.

But on days like this, they had to be serious, otherwise, it would be improper.
