As everything went on in an orderly manner, time passed quickly and soon it was the day of the ceremony. For this grand ceremony, the reception hall of Huangquan Valley was opened after a long absence. Maids were constantly cleaning the place, and guests were greeted politely in uniform. Early in the morning of this day, Yi Jue changed into the Huangquan robe with black background and red silk prepared by the clan. A red spider lily was gorgeous on the back. Together with Patriarch Canglan, he stood at the entrance of the hall to welcome guests from all sides. "The Song family of Chijiya has come to congratulate us, bringing with them a piece of iron essence and three thousand spirit stones." A middle-aged man, with two young men, drove a flying boat to a stop in front of the platform in front of the hall. Then his lips moved slightly, and a voice came over. Next to him, Patriarch Canglan gestured, and someone took the gift, while Yi Jue greeted the person. "I have long heard of the style of Master Wuya of the Song family. After seeing him today, I find that his reputation is well-deserved." Wu Ya curled his lips and said to the two young men beside him, "This is the Blood Demon Master you want to see. Why don't you come and meet him?" "These two kids heard of your name and insisted on coming to see you. Don't pay any attention to them. We'll go in first."
The two young men stepped forward. "I have met the Blood Demon Master." His expression was stiff, beads of sweat appeared on his temples, but Yi Jue had not expected that just by taking a Taoist name, he would gain two more admirers. But he was also prepared. He took out two jade talismans and handed them to the two. "This is the Heart Purification Talisman. It will be helpful to your cultivation. Don't be polite." The two men took it with a look of panic on their faces, and their eyes looked at Yi Jue even brighter. Speaking of which, one of the two was named Song Yu, and Yi Jue had used this name when he went out. Therefore, when the two of them went in and called each other's names while talking in a low voice, Yi Jue was slightly stunned and just found it funny. Next, there was an endless stream of guests coming, whether it was the Zhong family, or some affiliated forces of the Huangquan Valley nearby such as the Shu family, Wang family, Li family, etc., or some nearby Jindan families such as the Liu family, Jiang family, Chen family, etc., all of them sent people over. In addition, the patriarchs of the four major cities in the Yi family's mortal world also came. Although they all practiced Qigong and were quite old, their status was there, so they still came to the patriarch's succession ceremony. And finally, when the sun was high in the sky, a female cultivator came forward, her clothes fluttering in the wind, large areas of her skin exposed, her facial features delicate and not like those of a human being. A string of fine stone chains hung on her slender swan neck, making her skin look even whiter than snow. "Tian Mi from the Hehuan Clan has brought ten foundation-building pills and a pair of jade discs to congratulate Master Xue Mo on his success in forming the pill and taking over as the clan leader." Yi Jue cupped his hands, "I never thought that you would come to the Hehuan Sect." Tian Mi smiled gently and handed the gift box to Yi Jue. "If I were an ordinary person, I would not come. However, I will come to your Jindan Ceremony even if I don't have this status." The voice seemed near yet far, warm yet cool, delicate yet charming. The people nearby felt their bones go soft just by listening to it. In Yi Jue's sea of consciousness, the Heart Control Lotus emitted a faint light, and Yi Jue's eyes were clear, as if he had not been affected at all. "Okay, now that you're here, come in and have a drink of water." Normally speaking, if the Hehuan Sect sent someone to this kind of Jindan ceremony, it would only be a Jindan cultivator. However, this was also the Yi family's patriarch's handover ceremony, so a person with sufficient status and position was needed. As the daughter of the sect leader, Tian Mi has reached the late stage of foundation building and is practicing the Cai Nu Dafa. She has also made a name for herself in Tianluo. It would be the best of both worlds if she participated. Furthermore, upon hearing that it was Yi Jue's Dan-forming Ceremony, Tian Mi volunteered, so there was no reason for Sect Leader Tian to refuse. After everyone arrived, the formal ceremony began. The first ceremony was Yi Jue's Jindan Ceremony. The content of the ceremony was very simple. It started with a self-introduction and then a review of the immortal cultivation career.
It was nothing more than some words of gratitude, Yi Jue had already prepared them. After reading out the script and performing with passion, he determined the Taoist name, cave abode and other information, and made them public. "I am not talented. I have been practicing Taoism for fifty-eight years. I was lucky enough to form a pill. The method I used is unknown. Because of my bloody energy, I call myself the Blood Demon." "The cave was built in the Yellow Spring Valley. There was a cold marrow in the cave, so we named it the Ice Cave." "Today's announcement is to climb the great road with you all and explore the mystery of the Tao together." - After the Jindan Ceremony was over, the clan leader took over next. The protagonist at this time was still Yi Jue. However, the host became the ancestor Canglan. Canglan has been practicing for more than three hundred years. During the long time of nearly four hundred years, the people he knew were naturally not comparable to Yi Jue. His great reputation was naturally spread, and the weight of his words was much heavier than Yi Jue's. What's more, after Canglan broke through the late stage of Jindan, his momentum, which was like a surging sea in the past, has slowly calmed down. However, the pressure brought by this silence is much more terrifying than when the waves were turbulent before. "Fellow Taoists, thank you for coming." "Today is not only the Dan-forming ceremony for Brother Blood Demon, but also the transition ceremony for the clan leader of our Huangquan Valley." "The former clan leader was methodical and fair in his conduct. The policies he adhered to made Huangquan Valley flourish, and the quality of the monks became better and better day by day." "Of course, the Jiang Kingdom is extremely daring, and Langyuan is the most outstanding among them. They actually dared to offend my prestige. The clan leader personally took action to eliminate the evil and destroy Langyuan. In order to let the Jiang Kingdom know my evil power, I decided to stay in the Jiang Kingdom and educate the Jiang people." "Fortunately, the clan leader has a son who is extremely talented. He broke through to the Jindan stage in less than sixty years. He is also ruthless and cruel, and has the quality of wiping out the roots. The clan leader has proposed that his son take over as clan leader, and his term of office will be three sixty years, 180 years." "Fellow believers, bear witness." Waves of voices spread, and everyone in the Yellow Springs Valley heard these words. Everyone also knew that the patriarch of Huangquan Valley had been replaced, and his term of office was for 180 years. Almost everyone present here will basically live their long lives only under his notice. Only those who have reached the Jindan stage might have a chance to witness the change of leadership in Huangquan Valley. "Next, please ask the clan leader to take over the clan seal." Yi Jue stepped forward and formed a clan leader's seal, but this seal had never left the clan leader's office. It was only needed for the current ceremony, and it was an object with more symbolic significance than practical significance. "Please ask the clan leader to take over the clan's military talisman." This item is a Yin-Yang Talisman. The Yang Talisman is in the hands of the Lord of the Netherworld Palace, and the Yin Talisman is in the hands of the Minister of the Military Department. If troops are to be deployed, the military department will first hand over the Yin Talisman to the person leading the troops, and then ask the superior for permission. When the Lord of the Netherworld Palace bestows the Yang Talisman, the two will be combined, and Huangquan Valley will let them go. (End of this chapter)
