Chapter 239 Dao Ancestor? Or Dao Lord?
For several days in a row, remnants of the defeated clan alliance arrived in White Sand City. Xiao Chong and Long Wu were busy refining pills behind closed doors and had no time to receive them, so the task of receiving them naturally fell to Helian Tieshu.
This also has an advantage. Helian Tieshu was already the leader of a division within the Clan Alliance army, and he came from the super-powerful Helian family. If someone like him had joined the Dragon Flower Path, then others naturally had nothing to say.
Meanwhile, the changes in Helian Tieshu and his remaining forces were also observed by the newcomers. They were aware of Helian Tieshu's level of cultivation; he had only recently entered the Grandmaster realm, and the Tieshu Battle Force he led was a low-end fighting force, composed entirely of martial arts masters.
However, seeing that Helian Tieshu had been promoted to Grandmaster and that all thirty-odd remaining members of his forces had also been promoted to Grandmaster, all the remaining members of the clan alliance who had received the news and arrived in Baisha City were greatly surprised.
In his mind, there were no shortcuts to martial arts cultivation; progress was only possible through steady, diligent practice. Without an extraordinary stroke of luck, there was absolutely no possibility of rapid, continuous improvement.
Many people clearly remember that when the Battle of Refining Heart City ended three years ago, Helian Tieshu was only a Grandmaster. But what's the situation now? Could it be that he has truly been favored by the heavens and blessed with good fortune?
Well, the disciples of the Helian family are indeed exceptional. As a super family on the Tianyun Continent, the Helian family's profound foundation is undeniable. Perhaps, in order to accelerate the growth of the only five male members in the clan, it's not impossible that they used a secret treasure unknown to outsiders.
But what's going on? His subordinates' martial arts levels have also improved along with his. Does this mean they are all people with extraordinary opportunities? Or is it that the Helian family treats everyone equally, giving each of them a secret treasure that can improve their cultivation?
impossible! This is absolutely impossible!
Even if the Helian family had the world in their hearts and were unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, and had such a magnanimous idea, they still didn't have the strength to achieve it!
Looking across the entire Tianyun Continent, no force could achieve this, not even the unfathomable Martial Elders Association!
As leaders of various tribes within the same tribal alliance, the tribal leaders sought advice from Helian Tieshu.
"Brother Helian, your martial arts realm has improved so quickly, have you obtained some great opportunity?" A subordinate with whom he had a less close relationship began to probe indirectly.
Some people who were on good terms with Helian Tieshu were much more straightforward and asked directly, "Tell me quickly, why has your cultivation level reached the Grandmaster level in just a few days?"
Helian Tieshu didn't hide anything and satisfied everyone's curiosity: "Didn't I tell you all through the message box? This Longhua Dojo was founded by Xiao Chong."
You all know Xiao Chong, right? He's a once-in-a-millennium alchemy master! My current cultivation level was only achieved because I consumed the pills refined by Master Xiao.
"Is it really as miraculous as Brother Helian says? Or are you just fooling us?" Several of the followers who had never heard of Xiao Chong looked doubtful.
"Whether it's that amazing or not, just look at my men and you'll see perfectly clearly."
Helian Tieshu pointed triumphantly at his subordinates, then turned to a few of his old comrades from Lianxin City and said with a mysterious smile, "If these people don't believe it, surely you few shouldn't doubt it, right?"
"Leaving aside the matter of Lord Sheng's advancement to Grandmaster, you must have heard of the fact that Commander Liu's son, an ordinary person who couldn't cultivate, broke through to Martial Master after taking a pill."
"That's true!" The old companions nodded in agreement, and one of them asked in a low voice, "Did Brother Helian call us here for this benefit as well?"
Helian Tieshu laughed and said, "Of course, otherwise why would we have you all come here? Just for drinking and eating?"
"Thank you for remembering us, Brother Helian!" the man said, bowing his head and remaining silent.
At this moment, another person asked with concern, "Does this mean the pills are all given away for free? Aren't there any requirements?"
Everyone else turned their eyes to Helian Tieshu, their gazes full of inquiry. As leaders of their respective factions, these people were naturally shrewd and knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
"Of course there are conditions!" Helian Tieshu glanced at the man with disdain and said, "Would you give away such a valuable treasure to someone else for free?"
The man was speechless, and the others also fell silent.
"Tell us quickly, what are the conditions? Don't make things too difficult for us," someone finally said after a moment.
Helian Tieshu, like a devout preacher tempting the world, said with a sincere face: "It's extremely simple. Everyone who joins the Longhua Dao will be given a pill personally refined by Master Xiao, according to their cultivation level."
"Is it really that simple?" the person asking was still unconvinced.
"It's that simple!" Helian Tieshu's answer was concise and powerful.
"Then?"
"Of course, we'll fight against the Wu Elders' Association together!" Helian Tieshu reassured everyone.
"As long as it's against the Martial Elders Association, there's nothing more to say, I'll join!"
After a moment of silence, someone finally took a liking to it.
"I'll join in too!"
"I'll join in too!"
With the first person taking the lead, the others couldn't contain their excitement and followed suit.
"Alright! Then let's wait for the pills to arrive and fully enjoy the pleasure of advancing our cultivation level!"
Helian Tieshu laughed loudly, and his potential as a charlatan finally came to full effect.
Three days later, in the largest square in White Sand City, nearly ten thousand martial artists sat on the ground. Each of them had a solemn expression, and each held a pill that was either black or red in their hands.
Some of these martial artists had come to join long ago, while others had just arrived. Under Helian Tieshu's guidance, they resolutely devoted themselves to the Longhua Path.
Xiao Chong, dressed in a bright red outer robe, stood in the center of the square. Seeing that more than 10,000 martial artists were ready, he said loudly, "Since you have joined my Longhua Dao, you are now like family. You should help and love each other and work together to fight against the Martial Elders Association. Now, please take the pills in your hands."
"Thank you very much, Master Xiao, for the medicine!"
Whether it was a deliberate arrangement by Long Wu or a secret promise of benefits, a martial artist closest to Xiao Chong in the crowd stood up, bowed deeply to Xiao Chong, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "I have joined the Longhua Path and am deeply grateful for Master Xiao's kindness. Today, I wish to serve Master Xiao as my Dao Master!"
"The Dao Lord? Or the Dao Ancestor? The Dao Lord is fine, but if it's the Dao Ancestor, wouldn't that be too ostentatious? Won't the Three Pure Ones take offense?"
Upon hearing this title, Xiao Chong was taken aback.
"Well, I promised Lü Daka that I would carry on the Taoist lineage in Tianyun Continent. Now that Longhua Dao has been established, I can at least fulfill my wish."
Upon further reflection, Xiao Chong realized that the title was actually quite good.
In the brief moment he was stunned, the martial artists in the arena, spurred on by the man from before, all stood up and shouted in unison.
"We thank the Daoist Master for bestowing the medicine!"
"We thank the Daoist Master for bestowing the medicine!"
"We thank the Daoist Master for bestowing the medicine!"
After the three shouts were finished, the ten thousand warriors sat down again and swallowed the pills in their hands.
