Chapter 232: Chapter 221: Establishing Louguan Sect on Master’s Orders_3

White Crane Boy approached Yuan Shi Immortal Monarch and bowed, saying, "Disciple is here."

Yuan Shi Immortal Monarch said, "Take Wang Fu and Liang Chen to the Louguan in the Southern Toad Continent and seek out Xuandu Grand Master, a disciple of Morality God."

As Yuan Shi Immortal Monarch lectured, naturally, Taoist True Persons from the Four Seas came to listen. Among these, there were naturally those destined with the Three Purities. Now that Louguan was about to establish its sect, it naturally needed these people to enhance its fortune. Although Liang Chen’s and Wang Fu’s mana were not high, their great destiny with the Louguan Sect meant that they were integral to spreading the Way of the Dao of the sect.

White Crane Boy bowed to Liang Chen and Wang Fu, saying, "Please follow me, True Persons, and let’s go seek Elder Brother Xuandu."

Liang Chen said, "Thank you, Child."

White Crane Boy then led Liang Chen and Wang Fu down from the Jade Pure Sky to find Xuandu Grand Master and Yin Xi at Louguan.

Yuan Shi Immortal Monarch selected twelve individuals, causing everyone present to stare eagerly at him, hoping he would choose them to worship under the Three Purities.

However, those destined with Louguan had been singled out by Yuan Shi Immortal Monarch, which were only those twelve individuals.

Yuan Shi Immortal Monarch said, "That will be all. This lecture took many days; all of you have matters to attend to, so I shall not detain you."

Nobody dared to shamelessly linger after Yuan Shi Immortal Monarch dismissed them.

Just as the Taoists were about to disperse, suddenly Golden Horned Boy and Silver Horned Boy entered, exclaiming, "Yuan Shi Immortal Monarch, please wait!"

Yuan Shi turned his head and said, "What brings you two here now?"

Golden Horned Boy said, "This gathering of Taoist True Persons in the Jade Pure Sky is a rare grand event. Our master has instructed us to distribute a Primordial Qi Pill to each person here, which will significantly enhance your mana. Additionally, please accept these invitations and come to an event when the time arrives."

All present were delighted; Laojun had sent the children to deliver elixirs. His alchemy was extraordinary; even waste materials could probably be transformed into fine Immortal Pills.

Golden Horned Boy took out bottles of elixir from the Qiankun Bag, opened them, and distributed one pill to each person.

Silver Horned Boy then handed out the invitations to everyone.

"The Louguan Sect? Incredible, is Yin Xi founding a sect? Yin Xi was a significant figure who once followed Laojun through Hangu Pass!"

"Our Daoist Sect is about to flourish, with Senior Yin Xi founding a sect, how could it not prosper?"

Yin Xi was quite renowned; after all, he was famously responsible for convincing Laozi to leave behind the Tao Te Ching when departing through Hangu Pass.

Those present, having listened to Yuan Shi’s lecture for decades and now having received Laozi’s elixir, were absolutely overjoyed.

After Golden Horned Boy and Silver Horned Boy finished distributing the invitations and elixirs, Yuan Shi Immortal Monarch had the Jade Platform and meditation cushions removed, allowing the crowd of True Men of Dao and Virtue to disperse.

After everyone had left, Yuan Shi Immortal Monarch then asked, "Is Elder Brother now in Doulu Palace?"

Golden Horned Boy hurriedly said, "Yes, our lord is currently making elixirs!"

Yuan Shi Immortal Monarch said, "One of you go to Shangqing Tian and invite Spiritual Treasure Junior Brother here, and have him come to Doulu Palace to discuss matters with us."

Silver Horned Boy obeyed and descended to Shangqing Tian Miluo Palace, summoning Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable to Taqing.

Meanwhile, White Crane Boy led Liang Chen and Wang Fu to Louguan, where they saw creatures and Great Strength Demon Gods moving rocks and giant trees on Louguan Mountain. Naturally, these were summoned by Yin Xi and Xuandu Grand Master, diligently working on building the Daoist temple without a moment of slack.

"Such skill, to command so many ghosts and Great Strength Demon Gods, truly formidable!" Liang Chen and Wang Fu were somewhat startled as they watched.

Thunderous rumbling sounds of rolling stones and trees echoed from the mountain.

"Xuandu Elder Brother! Xuandu Elder Brother!" White Crane Boy suddenly shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, Xuandu Grand Master glided down from the mountain on a cloud. Seeing White Crane Boy with two Taoists, he curiously said, "What brings you here? Your little arms and legs can’t be of any help to me!"

The smile on White Crane Boy’s face immediately stiffened. After a moment, he said, "Elder Brother Xuandu jested. This time I have come by master’s command. Master said these two have a significant destiny with Taqing, hence he instructed me to bring them to you."

Yin Xi also descended from the mountain. Seeing the two men, he said, "These two indeed have a profound destiny with my Louguan Sect. Xuandu Fellow Taoist, how about we keep them here? What do you think?"

Xuandu Grand Master said, "Since Yin Xi Fellow Taoist also belongs to my Taqing lineage, let him decide whether these two stay or leave. I am not fond of taking disciples; it’s better if Yin Xi Fellow Taoist takes them."

Yin Xi nodded and said, "That’s not bad, but I wonder if you two are willing to take me as your master?"

Liang Chen and Wang Fu joyfully said, "We are indeed eager to join Yin Xi Teacher’s sect; we earnestly request Teacher Yin Xi to take us as disciples!"

Seeing how sharp the two were, Yin Xi said, "Very well, good! Both of you follow me and Xuandu up the mountain. Let’s finish constructing the Daoist temple first. Once it’s built, we’ll proceed with the initiation ceremony. After that, it will rely on you two to spread the Way of the Dao for my Louguan Sect!"

Liang Chen said, "Certainly, Teacher, just give your instructions, and your disciple will do his utmost."

Yin Xi nodded, leading the two men up the mountain. Having completed his mission, White Crane Boy naturally returned to Heaven to report back.

This founding of Louguan Sect seemed destined to engage in another debate with the Buddhist sect, only time would tell which would emerge stronger or weaker.
