Erlang's actions,

will never be without purpose!

Holding the Bronze Nuo Mask, many things surged into his mind.

At their first meeting, he pretended to be a Chengdu Hero, followed them to Tiansheng City outside Wanzhou City, and quietly solved the evil entity...

At their second encounter, he was a gluttonous old man...

It seems that with each encounter, Erlang changes.

He is both a solitary figure outside the crowd and a Divine walking in the Human World, eventually transforming into Yang Jian and ascending.

Many things that appear peculiar have a purpose.

Like when he proactively took the Nuo Mask, some thought it unreliable, but it was actually to completely control the divine role in Sichuan, which later allowed him to gather incense from a thousand years, suppress the Nine Tripods again, and alleviate calamities.

Suddenly, Li Yan recalled that night on the thirtieth.

They drank along the riverbank with the flying snow.

They talked a lot and shared much.

He expressed his curiosity about the Daluo Law Realm.

Erlang said with a smile, "There's nothing difficult, I'll go up and see what it's like, then secretly tell you..."

Could it be?

Li Yan felt a stirring in his heart, holding the Nuo Mask, slowly putting it on his face.

However,

there was no movement at all.

Mantra, Storing God, invoking the name of Erlang God...

The Bronze Nuo Mask showed no signs at all.

Perhaps,

Erlang has not settled down yet?

Li Yan helplessly decided to put it away for now.

These three treasures, each one has enormous significance, and naturally cannot be casually sold.

Luckily, the rest are of no use to him.

For example, the Blood Nuo Master's Blade, the Black Sect Lama's Corpse Forest Robe, as well as Lu Sheng's Taiyi Splitting Light Sword, are all top-notch items.

He can't use them, perfect for exchange.

In addition, there is the Mystic Turtle Shell found by Wang Daoxuan in the Dragon Palace, with one reserved for a Compass, the remaining two will surely cause Earth Masters to vie for them.

Also, the Spiritual Tea obtained from the tea fairy.

The sect elders are definitely willing to pay a high price.

Fragmentedly, there are some spiritual materials found in the Bai Family Secret Cave, although not as good as the Qingcheng Treasure Vault, still some rare items.

Speaking of which, they truly hold quite a few things in their possession.

Surpassing some ordinary Magic Sects.

What will they exchange for, he wonders?

Just then, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, followed by a Qingcheng Daoist child knocking at the door: "Is Young Hero Li here? Uncle Master Ling Yun asked me to tell you, the Master invites you."

"Alright, I'll go right away."

Li Yan slapped his forehead, only then recalling while going up the mountain, Ling Yun mentioned that Qingcheng Master Chen Kongzi was looking for him.

In the chaos of matters, he almost forgot his appointment.

Li Yan dared not be negligent and quickly headed out.

Led by the Daoist child, they left Chaoyang Cave and directly headed towards the Ancestor Hall.

The weather has changed now, colder than in previous years, the mountain is still shrouded in cold mist, the mountains all reflected in black.

Walking on the mountain path feels like walking in a landscape ink painting.

While walking, Li Yan inquired about the opening of the vault conference news.

He is now a distinguished guest at Qingcheng Mountain, and the young Daoist did not hide anything, sharing everything he knew:

"The conference venue is in Heavenly Master Cave, the treasure vault entrance is at Father-in-law Peak, where there is a natural cave also being a Cave Heaven Acupoint, reinforced by Arrays, and the cave walls are engraved with the Five Mountains True Form Map, sealed into five vaults: 'Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth'..."

"On the first day, an altar is to be opened to worship the heavens, conduct rituals to verify the vault, and then the Master invites each faction to discuss, followed by a banquet..."

"The next day the vault is opened to retrieve treasures, and the third day will be at Shangqing Palace for selling and trading, it is said experts will help appraise treasures..."

"Tomorrow's worship of heaven is at the hour of 7 a.m. to 9 a.m, Young Hero Li, make sure not to miss the hour..."

Listening to the young Daoist's narration, Li Yan felt somewhat thoughtful.

This set of procedures is much like the Hua Mountain's opening of the vault conference, only the treasure levels and scale are substantially elevated.

What Li Yan was most interested in was the first day's meeting.

Human Dao's transformation within the Mystic Sect is no longer a secret.

Presumably, it's to discuss how to respond to this matter...

As he pondered, the two arrived at the side room of the Ancestor Hall.

Before getting close, the hearty laughter of Chen Kongzi was heard from inside, "Ha ha ha... Lord is indeed humorous."

There are outsiders?

Upon hearing this, Li Yan's brows furrowed.

They arrived at Qingcheng Mountain the day before yesterday, although it was evening, he settled down and immediately visited Chen Kongzi as soon as possible.

This time, resolving the Nine Tripods catastrophe similarly helped Qingcheng, as they are a Mystic Sect, responsible for suppressing one region.

If Lu Sheng succeeded, Qingcheng would also lose face, resulting in endless trouble.

Chen Kongzi had previously expressed gratitude, mentioning the benefits would be given during the vault opening conference, and hinted that Qingcheng would support him in the future when encountering issues.

Previously, at the mountain's base, they openly favored him.

Logically, what was promised has already been given.

Suddenly inviting, could it be due to this outsider?

Li Yan heightened his alertness, approaching the side room and silently glanced inward through the open Red Gate.

Indeed, inside sat a middle-aged man, wearing a Three-Ribbed Confucian Hat, dressed in a bright red sleeve robe, adorned with Peacock Embroidery on the chest, with a dignified face, three strands of long beard draped over the chest, possessing considerable grace.

A court official,

and a third-rank high official?

Li Yan felt a surge of curiosity.

Officials from the court coming is not surprising.

The saying "Under Heaven, it's all kingship," the mark of a Mystic Sect in grasping national rituals and occupying Cave Heaven Blessed Lands naturally involves tribute and selling some to the court at low prices.

Last time at the Hua Mountain conference, court officials also attended.

But what do they seek from him?

"Mr. Li, come on in."

Chen Kongzi naturally had already seen him, inviting him inside with a smile, "Let me introduce, this is Assistant Minister of Rites, Lord Pei Zongti, also the Chief Sacrificial Officer."

Li Yan felt a sense of caution, cupping his hand to say, "Greetings, Lord Pei."

The Chief Sacrificial Officer is the government department managing Mystic Sect affairs.

Items like their Daoist certificates must be registered with the Sacrificial Officer, similarly, the Cave Heaven Blessed Lands across the world must be documented, and constructions of major sect palaces often require approval from the Sacrificial Officer...
