The golden pillars connected with rays of light, forming a massive character for "Tool."
This massive "Tool" character slowly ascended to the center of the Wanjinge Square, and its light shot towards the peaks of the Five Immortal Mountains.
While everyone on the Wanjinge Square was looking at the "Tool" character, Qian Duoduo quickly walked out of the Wood House.
At this time, it was noon outside.
He had stayed in the Wood House for most of the day.
Qian Duoduo took off his mask, accelerated his steps, and burrowed into the forests of Mengyuan Mountain.
The moment the "Tool" character's light reached the mountain peaks, the Five Immortal Mountains rose with ten thousand rays of light, connecting with each other to form a giant cauldron.
In the center of the cauldron, Preaching Mountain now appeared, with a cluster of purple flames burning on its peak.
That cluster of purple flames was actually in the shape of the Golden Toad that Qian Duoduo had drawn!
This matter had escalated!
It seemed that after Qian Duoduo passed the assessment of the tenth golden pillar, these golden pillars were somewhat excited.
"Dong, dong, dong..."
The melodious sound of bells rang out, and each chime caused a portion of the accumulated snow on the Immortal Mountains to melt.
The melted snow transformed into wisps of spiritual mist and streaks of colorful clouds, drifting towards various parts of the Immortal Mountains.
The Spirit Beasts and Spirit Birds on the Immortal Mountains became joyful, and even the Azure Phoenix flew out, emitting clear Phoenix cries.
"What's going on?"
"How did our Refining Spirit Sect get an extra Immortal Mountain?"
"What does the 'Tool' character mean?"
"Don't you understand? The Sect Leader said that the sect was founded on tools."
Qian Duoduo's Spiritual Awareness heard the Disciples on the Wanjinge Square starting to ask each other.
"Something big must have happened," many Disciples affirmed.
"Is the Sect Leader going to come out and speak?"
As soon as Qian Duoduo entered Mengyuan Mountain, he immediately put on his blue robe, then feigned a surprised expression and stood on the mountain path, looking up at the sky.
At this moment, the bell on Preaching Mountain was still ringing, one chime after another.
On the mountain path, some Outer Sect Disciples ran out, shouting:
"What's happening, what's happening? Why is it suddenly spring?"
"How strange!"
Qian Duoduo also murmured to himself.
Several powerful Spiritual Awarenesses descended from Preaching Mountain and swept across the Wanjinge Square.
Sect Leader Niu Jinshui appeared above the Wanjinge Square, riding a Swallowing Gold Purple Python.
The Swallowing Gold Purple Python was the Sect Leader's companion beast; it had only been heard of before, but never seen.
If there wasn't an earth-shattering event, the Swallowing Gold Purple Python would not show itself.
A moment later, the Elder of Wanjin Pavilion appeared beside the Sect Leader.
The two of them stood in the air, looking down at the tens of thousands of Disciples on the Wanjinge Square.
Before long, the five Palace Lords—Tang Honggong, Ping Yundan, Chu Wannian, Shang Wutui, and Zhu Erkang—also appeared above the Wanjinge Square.
The presence of all the high-ranking officials of the sect made the Disciples on the Wanjinge Square even more excited.
"I think it's a good thing, look at the Sect Leader's radiant face!"
"But why do I see his hands trembling a bit?"
"That's from excitement. My hands also tremble when I'm excited."
"Don't mention your trembling hands, when you're waiting for a big hand in cards, your hands shake like sieves..."
"How strange."
Qian Duoduo repeated this phrase while thinking, was such a grand display necessary just for passing the assessment of the tenth golden pillar?
The bell chimes were melodious and pleasant to the ear, and the spiritual plants on the Immortal Mountains, which had been dormant during winter, gradually awakened as the temperature rose, with flower buds emerging from the branches and slowly beginning to bloom.
"It smells so good!"
Yu Yixiang's voice rang out beside Qian Duoduo.
Qian Duoduo turned his head and saw her, with her eyes closed, deeply inhaling the air, intoxicated by the fragrance of flowers all over the mountain.
After a while, Yu Yixiang opened her Phoenix eyes, looked at the Golden Toad-shaped purple flame on Preaching Mountain, then looked at Qian Duoduo, and blinked.
"These commotions, they wouldn't be because of you, would they?"
Without waiting for Qian Duoduo to answer, she pursed her lips and smiled.
