Eating melons was human nature.
After the news spread, the entire martial world of Great Song was in an uproar. Even the Great Song's court was discussing this matter.
This conference was simply too exciting.
The story was unexpected, full of ups and downs, and thrilling. Even the best-selling novels in the Great Song Dynasty did not dare to write such a story.
Xiao Yuanshan, Murong Bo, Xiao Feng, Ma Yu, the sweeping monk, Hong Qi…
Several martial grandmasters, who were usually rare, appeared all of a sudden.
The reunion of father and son after so many years, the truth of the Yanmen Pass murder case thirty years ago, the romance of the Shaolin abbot when he was young, the reappearance of the Six Pulses Divine Sword...
There were too many interesting things about this conference, and the most eye-catching were two things:
Firstly, the first disciple of Quanzhen Sect became a great grandmaster.
The rise of Quan Zhen Sect was too fast and brought too many surprises to Great Song.
It had been established for less than a few years.
First, a great grandmaster appeared and became a great sect of the Dao Sect.
After that, another old monster appeared, suppressing those of the same level, and his sword path reached the heavens.
He had thought that this was his limit, but in less than three years, another martial grandmaster had appeared.
And the first disciple of the second generation.
In just a few years, three Zhenrens had been passed down from generation to generation.
Not to mention the Great Song Dynasty, even in the entire Nine Provinces, the forces that could do this were very rare.
Not to mention, Beggar's Sect's Vice Sect Master Hong Qi, Wanmei Villa's Ximen Chuixue, White Cloud City's Ye Gucheng, and Heavenly Dragon Temple's Yi Deng.
These four grandmasters had attained Dao with the help of Quan Zhen Sect. One could see how terrifying the latter was.
Some people even felt that if this continued, Quan Zhen Sect would very likely become the Holy Land of Dao Sect.
The second was the collision between Ma Yu and the sweeping monk.
Breaking the Body of the Buddha with one sword was indeed stunning.
However, considering that this sword was given by Daoist Zhongxuan, even without the Big River Sword, everyone felt that it was acceptable.
After all, that Daoist Zhongxuan had repeatedly done shocking things.
This result was unexpected, but it was still within his expectations.
What they really cared about was the debate between Ma Yu and the sweeping monk about whether entering the Void Gate could wash away their sins.
In other words, could a person who had committed all kinds of evil be separated from the past as long as he became a monk?
In the martial world, there was endless fighting and a mix of good and bad.
Killing was a common occurrence.
However, there was a difference.
There were righteous heroes who abhorred evil as enemies, and there were also many great villains who killed the innocent with their hands stained with blood.
The latter made the Jianghu people gnash their teeth in hatred.
A portion of them died and paid the price, but there was also a portion who became monks after gaining enlightenment and saved their lives.
In the past, they didn't think much of it.
After all, Buddhism emphasized on putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot.
But now, they began to reflect.
These words seemed to have become a life-saving talisman for evil people, and Buddhism had become a refuge for evil people.
It seemed that as long as a sinful person became a monk, the world should hold their past sins high and gently let them go.
Was this really the right thing to do?
Compared to the sweeping monk's method, Ma Yu's method was undoubtedly more popular.
Everyone had a high opinion of this Quan Zhen Sect's first disciple who dared to argue and speak frankly.
Even with the support of two great grandmasters, Immortal Dan Yang dared to fight Shaolin so hard, which proved his character.
It also showed that Quan Zhen Sect had taught him well.
In an instant, Quan Zhen Sect's reputation in Great Song's Pugilistic World soared.
Many people felt that if something similar happened in the future, they could ask the Quan Zhen Sect to step forward and uphold justice.
Let the wicked be punished, and the dead rest in peace.
Other than that, the Murong family of Gusu City had suffered a disastrous decline and was hated by everyone in the martial arts world.
The Great Song Temple also intervened.
If the imperial court was indifferent to such a major case of treason, it would really become a laughing stock in the martial world and the laughing stock of the Nine States.
In the future, there would probably be people who would try their luck and learn from him.
At that time, Great Song would be in trouble.
Of course!
The Great Song Temple was also paying attention to Xiao Feng.
Liao, Jin, and Xixia were all eyeing the Great Song Dynasty covetously, hoping to replace it.
The king of the southern courtyard of Liao Kingdom had to be taken seriously by the Great Song court.
Otherwise, it would be too late for regrets if anything happened.
Fortunately, Xiao Feng knew the severity of the situation and brought Zi to Liao Kingdom.
………
Mount Zhongnan.
The rumors in the game had already spread to Quan Zhen Sect.
The outer court was as lively as ever. They were discussing this matter enthusiastically. They admired Ma Yu's actions and were proud of Quan Zhen.
The Inner Sect was as quiet as usual. Even if they knew about this matter, they would only chat a little before burying their heads in the scriptures.
The completely different atmosphere and attitude were like Yin and Yang merging into Quanzhen.
Li Zhongxuan had no idea about all of this.
He had been in seclusion in the pill room for more than a month.
After experiencing the initial setbacks, the matter of alchemy gradually entered a good state.
Inside the pill room, a raging fire raged.
The surging heat wave hit their faces, and the pill furnace was burning red.
This was the true fire that came with the Heaven and Earth Furnace of Good Fortune. It used vital qi as firewood and true essence as food.
It possessed extremely high temperature and terrifying power.
If it was released, the vital qi would not fade, and the true essence would not be exhausted, so the true fire would not be extinguished.
It was enough to evaporate a vast river in half a day.
If it was an ordinary martial grandmaster, they would have been drenched in sweat, but Li Zhongxuan's expression was calm.
There was not a single drop of sweat on his body.
His cultivation was profound, and the Dao Scripture he created was mysterious and unfathomable. It was already impervious to fire and water.
Unless one was directly above the true fire, otherwise, this heat wave was completely useless.
Time slowly moved forward.
The air was filled with a strong burnt smell, and a strange fragrance gradually mixed in.
Although it was very faint, it could not escape Li Zhongxuan's perception.
He was excited about this, but his movements were still stable. There was no problem of losing control of the true fire.
Practice makes perfect.
As the pill was formed, he used the pill collection technique.
As his fingers moved, two snow-white spirit pills flew out and fell into the jade bottle he had prepared beforehand.
Looking at the pills in the bottle, Li Zhongxuan stroked his beard and smiled.
Nine pills in a furnace,
Not long ago, he successfully refined one pill, but wasted eight.
Now, he had successfully refined two pills and wasted seven.
It seemed like the difference of one pill, but in reality, it represented that his alchemy skills had advanced by leaps and bounds.
"Haste makes waste."
"It's a good thing to be able to improve."
"If you rush for success, it's easy to fail at the last step.”
When it came to refining pills, one had to be patient.
As for Li Zhongxuan, he had been reading scriptures and comprehending the Dao all year round, so he had long possessed an incomparably powerful state of mind.
What he lacked the least was patience.
He sat cross-legged and recovered his True Qi.
Then, he looked at the remaining one-third of the medicinal herbs and continued to refine the pill.
Time is like running water, and there is no trace of the passage of time.
Half a month later.
Li Zhongxuan was extremely satisfied as he looked at the final batch of nine snow-white pills.
After the pill furnace cooled down, he put away the Heaven and Earth Furnace of Good Fortune, got up, and stretched his muscles and bones. Then, he walked out of the pill room and ended his seclusion.
At the same time.
Ma Yu brought the Quan Zhen Sect disciples back to the mountain.
The reason why it took so long was because the old Sect Master of Beggar's Sect had passed away. When he received the news on the way, he immediately went to attend the funeral on behalf of his sect. He also attended Hong Qi's inauguration ceremony, which was why he was delayed.
