In the void of the Longhu Mountain Patriarch Hall, Patriarch Daoqing was looking at the void in front of him with a subtle expression.

"Fellow Daoist Lin Hai, you and I have known each other for thousands of years. You came here without even saying hello. How can I, Longhu Mountain, neglect you..."

As Master Daoqing finished speaking, a hearty laugh came from the void. Then, an old man with a Taoist aura all over his body stepped out of the void and sat down in front of Master Daoqing.

It was none other than Lin Zu!
The relationship between Lin Zu and Daoqing Zushi of Mount Longhu is very close. They are old acquaintances, so there is not much wariness between the two.

Lin Zu glanced towards the Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master Hall, then smiled faintly.

"Fellow Daoist Daoqing, I came here just to see how your Longhu Mountain is developing now. To be honest, I haven't set foot on the territory of Longhu Mountain for three hundred years."

Naturally, Master Daoqing would not believe this.

"Alright, Fellow Daoist Lin Hai, let's be frank. Shi Jian from your Maoshan is really a good seedling. There will be no problem in achieving Yuan Shen in the future!

You come and show off..."

Patriarch Daoqing's expression became a little gloomy. In this kind of matter, although Maoshan, to which Shi Jian belonged, and Longhushan were of the same origin, Shi Jian ultimately belonged to Maoshan.

It’s hard to say what will happen in the future…

Lin Zu nodded.

“Fellow Daoist Daoqing is a wise man, but regarding Shi Jian, I am not unwilling to share it with Longhu Mountain…”

As soon as Lin Zu finished speaking, the eyes of Longhu Mountain Daoqing Patriarch suddenly lit up!
"oh?

"You, Lin Hai, are so kind?"

Although he was trembling with excitement in his heart, when he thought that the other party was also a thousand-year-old fox, Patriarch Dao Qing suppressed his inner impulse.

"It's not good intentions, Daoqing, you and I both understand that now that we are in charge of Longhu Mountain and Maoshan, we can let the wind and waves rise!

Can……

Like you and me, we have reached the point where we have no choice but to take that step.

Unless you are willing to be trapped in the Yuanshen realm for your whole life, like that old guy from Kunlun Sect, and reincarnate after your lifespan runs out!"

After Lin Zu said this, not only Dao Qing Patriarch, but even Lin Zu himself fell silent.

After a long time, they both sighed at the same time, looked at each other, and then laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, you and I are on the same path after all..."

After Lin Zu finished speaking, he got straight to the point. It was Lin Zu who suggested letting Shi Jian lead the team to Longhu Mountain from the beginning. The purpose was to work with Longhu Mountain to quickly cultivate Shi Jian to the Yuanshen realm!
As for why Maoshan did not cultivate Shi Jian alone, this world is not just the Five Palaces of Taoism with the Yuanshen ancestors, the Four Holy Places of Buddhism, the two realms of demons and monsters, and the underworld where the netherworld does not exist.

These forces will not be foolish enough to watch Maoshan cultivate a new ancestor of the Yuanshen.

It would be a bit difficult to just cultivate Maoshan alone, and Lin Zu understood this very well. And as Maoshan's ally, if Longhushan could reach an agreement on cultivating Shi Jian, the speed of Shi Jian's cultivation in the future would be extremely terrifying!
“Fellow Daoist Daoqing, I will be frank with you. It is basically certain that Shi Jian will achieve Yuanshen in the future. However, since I am the only one in Maoshan, it is difficult to guarantee that those old monsters will not interfere!
and so……

Maoshan and Longhushan together, this can be accomplished."

After Lin Zu finished speaking, he glanced at the expression of Dao Qing, the founder of Mount Longhu. At this moment, Dao Qing was a little hesitant. He could naturally hear the sincerity in Lin Zu's words, but Mount Longhu needed definite guarantees, not empty talk between the two of them.

"Fellow Daoist Daoqing, I understand what you are afraid of. Don't worry, Shi Jian will definitely protect Longhu Mountain in the future. Besides, fellow Daoist Daoqing, do you really want to miss this last possibility besides this one?"

When Lin Zu said this, Patriarch Dao Qing could only look at Lin Zu with a resentful expression.

Yes, his weakness is that he is unwilling to be trapped in the Yuanshen realm forever. Among all cultivators, who would be willing to stay in one realm for his entire life?
"Fellow Daoist Lin Hai, it seems that you have anticipated everything. Yes, I am unwilling... Alas!" The two were silent again, their eyes looking towards where Shi Jian was.

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

At this moment, in the Heavenly Master's Hall, after Shi Jian met with all the elders of Longhu Mountain one by one, he also came to the side of the old Heavenly Master.

"Old Heavenly Master, long time no see. It seems that the old Heavenly Master is still in good condition."

Shi Jian smiled brightly, with a hint of meaningful meaning in his eyes.

But the old Taoist priest kept shaking his head.

"Fellow Daoist Shi Jian, the title of Heavenly Master has already become a thing of the past, so you can just call me Old Daoist Qinghui."

The old Taoist priest is also very careful. There are some things that he can ignore, but he must always consider the feelings of the contemporary Taoist priest of Mount Longhu.

At this moment, Heavenly Master Zhang Qingling also felt relieved. In front of him, Shi Jian called Elder Qinghui the old Heavenly Master, which was not wrong to some extent.

Can……

Since both Shi Jian and Elder Qinghui have come to this world and to Mount Longhu, it would undoubtedly be more appropriate to call them elders in front of a contemporary Heavenly Master like himself.

"Elder Qinghui, how are you these days?"

The old Taoist priest smiled faintly.

"Elder Shi Jian, I am very good."

The strange conversation between the two made Zhang Qingling Tianshi and the elders of Longhu Mountain a little confused, but they were also relieved. At least the founder was right to send Elder Qinghui to welcome Shi Jian. The two knew each other and his conversation was obviously much more fluent and sincere than theirs.

It was not until the old Taoist priest stepped back a few steps that Taoist priest Zhang Qingling decided to discuss the exchange with Shi Jian.

"Elder Shi, Maoshan has made sufficient preparations for this visit. I just wonder how Elder Shi thinks the two sects can communicate so that the disciples can complement each other?"

After asking, Zhang Qingling looked at the Maoshan disciples beside Shi Jian again.

Finally, his gaze fell on Mo Bufan, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and was almost comparable to the elders of the two sects.

Speaking of communication, Shi Jian really didn't think about it carefully. After all, this was not the first time the two factions had communicated. Although this time was a little special, it didn't require discussion.

"Master, I think we can just communicate as before. There is no need to discuss anything else."

Hearing this, a hint of helplessness appeared in Zhang Qingling's eyes.

Previous exchanges between the two factions could be described as brutal, and were originally intended to teach a lesson to the rebellious disciples on both sides, so what they were competing for was a battle of wits!
From talismans, to supernatural powers, to no rules.

In short, the winner stands and the loser falls down.

It is certainly possible to use it on those reckless disciples, but this time, those coming from both sects are the elites among the elites, and they are the underlying strength of the future of Maoshan and Longhushan. If they really have such a fierce exchange, Zhang Qingling doesn't believe that they will not lose any limbs.

"how……

Does the Heavenly Master feel that the previous way of communication is inappropriate?"
