The banquet had already begun, and Daoist Master Huang Ze sat next to the main character of the banquet, Daoist Master Zhu Zhao, with a face full of regret. He poured himself a cup of wine and drank it himself.

The disciple standing behind him looked at his master several times, wanting to say something, but stopped when he saw that his master was in a bad mood.

“Sigh–” Daoist Master Huang Ze had long seen his disciple’s appearance, so he said, “Do you want to know why this time, why Zhu Zhao didn’t refute?”

“Yes, Master. According to the past, Daoist Master Zhu Zhao should have ‘turned hostile’ when he saw you talk like this! Could it be that Daoist Master Zhu Zhao really…” The young man was puzzled.

“You guessed right. I’m afraid that Zhu Zhao is really going to run out of fuel and run out of time.” Daoist Master Huang Ze sighed.

“Master, the lifespan of a Yuanying stage Daoist can reach 1500 years. How come Daoist Master Zhu Zhao has just pa.s.sed his thousand-year-old birthday, and he is about to die?”

Seeing the puzzled look on his disciple’s face, Daoist Master Huang Ze patiently replied, “A Foundation Establishment cultivator has a lifespan of two hundred years, a Golden Core cultivator has a lifespan of eight hundred years, and a Nascent Soul cultivator has a terrifying lifespan of one thousand and five hundred years. But the world is fickle. In the past, this Grand Moon Sect almost met with a great disaster several times, and it was all because of Zhu Zhao’s efforts to turn the tide. For the sake of this Grand Moon Sect, Zhu Zhao also put in a lot of effort and used a secret art several times.”

“Is that kind of secret art that easy to use? It’s either using his Dao or using his life as a price to increase his cultivation base. Zhu Zhao used his five hundred years of life to exchange for the current glory of the Grand Moon Sect. If it weren’t for the fact that he ate a lot of life-extending pills in the past few years, he would have been defeated a long time ago.”

Daoist Master Huang Ze looked at Zhu Zhao above the banquet and sighed. “If it were in the past, I would have been dragged out by him to fight three hundred rounds at his birthday banquet. How could he ask us to sit down so easily? He’s giving in to me! He wants me to take care of the Mount Taiyin branch while he’s reincarnated.”

Just as the master and disciple were lamenting the b.u.mpiness of the immortal cultivation path, the banquet continued to be held as guests came in one after another.

“The disciples and disciples of our ancestors wish our ancestors a lifetime of happiness…”

“Present!”

Suddenly from the back of the hall came a few extraordinary men and women.

Daoist Master Huang Ze saw these people and knew these people were the people that Zhu Zhao had accepted as disciples in the recent years in hopes that they would inherit Zhu Zhao’s mantle.

Looking at these young men and women with tender faces, Daoist Master Huang Ze suddenly turned to look at his disciple and said, “Disciple, although I still have nearly 500 years to live, you still have to work hard in your cultivation. It seems that I can protect you for a while, but the path of immortality is boundless. Perhaps one day, I will meet with a dangerous army and be relieved. It’s better to rely on yourself than on anyone else.”

——————————

Watching one after another of the students really hot candlelight to come forward, handing over their gifts.

There were pills, spirit fruit, treasures, and more treasures treasures…

“The last disciple, Yu Linglong, comes forward to offer a gift.”

A 20-year-old looking beautiful female walked to the main hall.

The crowd in the hall saw the girl who had just walked in and began to talk about her.

“Is this girl Yu Linglong? I heard that she has a heavenly spirit root. She is indeed a young hero. She has already reached the False Golden Core stage at such a young age.”

“I heard that this Yu Linglong is not even twenty years old yet! She has already reached the False Golden Core stage. It is just a matter of time before she enters the Golden Core stage.”

“The heavenly spirit root is so terrifying. This apt.i.tude is indeed heaven-defying. Since ancient times, I’m afraid there haven’t been many people who have reached the Golden Core stage before the age of twenty.”

Daoist Master Huang Ze saw Yu Linglong enter and said to his disciple, “It seems that Zhu Zhao has a successor. Not only does she have the heavenly spirit root apt.i.tude, but she is also about to form her gold core at such a young age.”

..

Seeing that his disciple had broken through in just a few days, judging from her aura, it was estimated that she was about to form her gold core.

“Linglong, you haven’t seen me in the past few days, and your cultivation base hasn’t fallen. Now, you have already formed your False Golden Core cultivation base. In time, the Grand Moon Sect will definitely take you as the leader.” Daoist Master Zhu Zhao praised his disciple.

“Today is your thousand-year birthday, Master. I have nothing to repay you, so I can only offer this painting as a token of my appreciation,” Yu Linglong said as she held a painting in her hands.

The people at the side looked at the painting in Yu Linglong’s hands and realized that there wasn’t a single trace of mana fluctuation, so they stopped paying attention to it. They all started to chat with people they were familiar with.

Seeing the painting presented by his disciple, Daoist Master Zhu Zhao slowly opened it.

Although it was just an ordinary painting, it was a gesture from his most outstanding disciple, so Daoist Master Zhu Zhao carefully examined it.

It didn’t matter if he looked at it carefully, but Daoist Master Zhu Zhao seemed to have found a treasure and was completely absorbed in the painting. He ignored all the guests present.

Everyone in the hall started to feel strange.

Why did he suddenly start to look at the painting? Wasn’t it just an ordinary painting? There wasn’t even a bit of spiritual energy or mana fluctuation. What was there to look at?

Just as everyone was secretly wondering why he was so absent-minded…

He raised his head and said to Yu Linglong, “Linglong, do you know why I want to take you as my disciple?”

“I don’t know. I only know that it was Master who led me on the path of immortal cultivation. I will always remember it in my heart and thank master for my entire life,” Yu Linglong said and bowed.

Master Zhu Zhao had a complicated expression on his face. He looked at Yu Linglong and sighed. “Alas, Linglong, you have the apt.i.tude of a heavenly spiritual root. Logically speaking, you should have a greater future, but I still leave many trivial matters to you. The reason is that I don’t have much time left. I hope that someone can take over the Grand Moon Sect. I’ve let you down!”

At this point, Zhu Zhao’s expression suddenly changed slightly, and he said, “But, my good disciple, today, it’s all thanks to this painting that you gave me!”

Eh? Zhu Zhao’s lifespan was almost up? And was there some mystery behind this painting? Listening to Zhu Zhao’s words, it seemed that this painting was very impressive. Everyone’s curiosity was piqued.

Just as everyone was curious, Daoist Master Zhu Zhao suddenly stood up from his chair and threw the brocade box containing the life-increasing pills that Daoist Master Huang Ze had given him back to him.

“Old Thing, you don’t want to live anymore? You threw this thing away?” Seeing that the precious medicinal pills that he had given him were thrown away, Daoist Master Huang Ze walked forward and picked them up in a hurry, his heart aching.

The guests in the main hall were also stunned by this scene! This was a medicinal pill that could increase one’s lifespan. If it was spread out, countless cultivators who were close to their lifespans would be envious. However, Daoist Master Zhu Zhao directly threw it away without saying a word!

“Hahaha, Old Man, I don’t need this medicinal pill anymore! You’d better keep it for your own use in the future. With this supreme opportunity given by my disciple, I’ll break through to Dharma Idol today at the thousand-year-old birthday banquet!” Daoist Master Zhu Zhao said in high spirits.
