Ahem, don't blame the old Heavenly Master for having such wild thoughts. As an old Heavenly Master who has been in a high position in Longhu Mountain for many years, he suddenly entered this world and became a low-level and inconspicuous Nascent Soul cultivator in the sect. One can imagine how sensitive the old Heavenly Master's heart is.

"hiss!

The spirit is out of body!

I didn't expect Shi Jian to be so amazing! But that's right. In the ancestral world, Shi Jian could catch up with his disciples' hundred years of hard work in just a few decades. If it weren't for the constant dissipation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Shi Jian might have surpassed his disciples long ago.

Now that he has come to this world, he has completely freed himself from the shackles of heaven and earth..."

The old Taoist priest said this sincerely. He really had no temper towards Shi Jian. You know, it took more than just a few decades for Shi Jian to catch up with him.

As the spiritual energy dissipated, those who practiced first had the advantage. When Shi Jian began to practice, the old Taoist priest had already reached the late stage of the Golden Core. The difference was extremely obvious when compared!

However, the old Taoist priest still didn’t understand what the relationship between Shi Jian and him was?
"Master Daoqing, I am a dull disciple. I wonder what the relationship is between Shi Jian's return to Mount Mao and me?"

The old Taoist asked this question in a timid tone, but it was actually a move of retreating in order to advance.

However, as the ancestor of the original spirit, how could Master Daoqing not know these thoughts?
"Ugh……

Qinghui, among all the elders and disciples in Mount Longhu today, almost no one has the confidence to achieve the realm of Yuanshen.

I, the ancestor, have been in charge of Longhu Mountain for a thousand years. It is time to find a reliable soul cultivator for the future of Longhu Mountain.

Longhu Mountain and Maoshan Mountain are of the same blood. This young friend Shi Jian is coming to Longhu Mountain. Qinghui, you are familiar with him, so you should go and greet and entertain this young friend Shi Jian in person!"

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest heaved a sigh of relief. As long as there were no other problems, they would be easy to solve for him. Besides, he was just going to meet Shi Jian.

Bow your head once.

"Disciple Qinghui will go there immediately. I hope the master can rest assured!"

After saying this, the old Taoist priest slowly retreated to the rear until he left the palace, then he turned into a stream of light and disappeared on the top of the mountain above the Patriarch's Temple.

Within the time it took to burn an incense stick, in the Heavenly Master's Hall, the elders of Longhu Mountain had already pulled their most satisfied disciples to stand in the hall.

They are all the chosen ones under the age of 100 in Longhu Mountain, and they all have the cultivation level of the early Nascent Soul stage.

At this moment, feeling the solemn atmosphere in the hall, these disciples did not dare to say a word and could only wait for the Heavenly Master and their master to speak.

"it is good!

Our Longhu Mountain is no worse than those talented people in Mao Mountain."

Zhang Qingling was very satisfied with the spirit and energy of these geniuses from Mount Longhu. The hidden drive in their eyes was not something that ordinary disciples could possess.

No wonder they were chosen by the elders of various halls in Longhu Mountain.

At this moment, a figure that should not have appeared in the hall came quietly. When the old Taoist priest stepped into the hall, everyone's eyes were immediately focused on him.

In an instant, countless auras swept across the old Taoist priest's body, and finally it was Taoist priest Zhang Qingling who recognized the old Taoist priest.

"Hahaha, it turns out to be Elder Qinghui from the Patriarch Hall. I wonder why Elder Qinghui came to the hall?"

Although others didn't recognize him, Zhang Qingling recognized at a glance that the old man in front of him was Zhang Qinghui, a new elder added to the Patriarch Hall recently.

Obviously, when Tianshi Zhang Qingling said this, the other elders all widened their eyes and stared at the old Tianshi, as if they were looking at a treasure. They all knew that Elder Zhang Qinghui was from the Patriarch Hall, but they had never seen what he looked like. They were just talking about Elder Qinghui, but now they actually saw the real person. Wouldn't that make the elders of Longhu Mountain feel novel?
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, it’s true. Just as the Heavenly Master said, this Elder Qinghui is only a hair’s breadth away from leaving his body. He truly deserves to be the new elder in the Ancestral Hall of Mount Longhu!”

“But it’s not just that. It only took Elder Qinghui about three years to go from the half-step Nascent Soul stage to the current middle Nascent Soul stage.

This is truly heaven-defying!"

Everyone was talking at once. Even the elders from Mount Longhu who had reached the state of out-of-body experience or even the state of spiritual transformation wanted to gossip about other people. When the old Taoist heard these scattered noises, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

However, he did not come to the Heavenly Master Hall to be watched by the elders...

"Reporting to the Heavenly Master, I am following the order of the ancestor Dao Qing and am here with the Heavenly Master and a group of elders to welcome Elder Shi Jian of Mount Mao!"

As soon as the word "Ancestor" came out, the elders who were originally laughing suddenly became solemn. It didn't matter if they were joking, but since the Ancestor's edict had come out, they had to take it seriously!

Even Tianshi Zhang Qingling frowned slightly. He really didn't expect that even though Shi Jian of Maoshan had a monstrous talent now, he still hadn't fully grown up. Their Dao Qing Patriarch actually cared so much about this matter...

Zhang Qingling couldn't help but take this seriously!

"So Elder Qinghui came here on the orders of our ancestor. In that case, let's set out to the mountain gate to meet this evil elder Shijian from Maoshan!"

As soon as Zhang Qingling finished speaking, a group of elders responded immediately and headed towards the gate of Longhu Mountain in a mighty manner.

......................................................

At the entrance of Mount Longhu, it was the first time for the disciples who were in charge of guarding the gate to see such a grand scene. The Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu and a group of elders from various halls were all standing in front of the gate, gazing into the distance as if welcoming the arrival of others.

Whoosh whoosh!
Dozens of streams of light whizzed over, and Shi Jian took the lead, landing steadily in front of the gate of Longhu Mountain.

With a quick glance, they saw that the elders of Longhu Mountain had been waiting for their arrival.

"I am Shi Jian, a humble Taoist. Nice to meet you fellow Taoists!"

"We greet all the seniors!"

Mo Bufan and the others behind Shi Jian were also very polite. Since they had come to Longhu Mountain, even if the relationship between the two sides was special, they still had to observe the proper etiquette.

On the Longhu Mountain side, Zhang Qingling first looked at Shi Jian and then took a deep breath.

It's one thing to scan with spiritual sense and to see the real person. At this moment, Shi Jian stood in front of them. Even though there was still a big gap in their cultivation, he was still neither humble nor arrogant, and looked relaxed and comfortable.

Zhang Qingling felt that this state of mind was very good!
"I am Zhang Qingling, the current Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu. Elder Shi is here on behalf of Mount Mao. We are guests from afar. Please come in quickly, please come in quickly!"

If you want to talk about something, you have to go into the main hall and discuss it in detail. Generally, people won't get stuck at the entrance.

Shi Jian nodded, but soon his eyes fell on the familiar figure among the elders of Longhu Mountain.

It’s the old Taoist priest!
The two looked at each other, with a faint smile on their lips, but there was not much communication.

However, deep in his heart, he was thinking about something. Shi Jian shook his head, and without any hesitation, he quickly followed everyone towards the Tianshi Hall of Longhu Mountain.
