Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Returning to the Cold Cloud Sect

The promotion of the Sect has had an immense impact on a small place like Yuanshan County.

Since the Cold Cloud Sect is located within Yuanshan County, its promotion to an Eighth-Rate Sect means that the nearest ten Ninth-Rate Sects will be directly under the jurisdiction of the Cold Cloud Sect.

What does this lead to?

It means that these Sects will frequently visit the Cold Cloud Sect, often coming to Yuanshan County!

As a result, the economy of Yuanshan County will undergo drastic changes.

…

“Brother Su Han, this is an invitation from the Cold Cloud Sect,” Lian Yuze entered Su Han’s room and handed over an invitation.

During this period, Lian Yuze and others had always been cultivating outside Su Han’s room, saying that they could receive guidance from Su Han at any time.

In fact, Su Han did occasionally give them pointers.

In one month, Lian Yuze had learned two types of Necromancy Magic, while the others had each learned one.

They had personally tested the power of the magic, and the results left them astonished.

Several of them had even learned the Rocky Giant that Su Han had previously cast.

That kind of power… was really too strong!

If it weren’t for Su Han limiting the number of magics they could learn, they could completely learn two or three more types within one month’s time.

“In three days, huh?”

Su Han smiled slightly and placed the invitation by the bed.

The ascendancy of the Cold Cloud Sect to an Eighth-Rate Sect also meant that Ling Qinghai now had a Ninth-Rate Sect’s Sect Founding Order in his hands.

Even for the sake of this Sect Founding Order, for those fifty spots, Su Han also had to make a trip to the Cold Cloud Sect.

“It’s been a month; it’s time to get out and about.”

Su Han got up from the bed, stretched his body, and there was a cacophony of crackling noises all over his body.

Even more so, the moment he took his first step, an extremely dazzling Jin Guang suddenly erupted from within his body.

Although the Jin Guang was retracted by Su Han in an instant, in that flash, Su Han looked like a sun, shining so brightly that even Lian Yuze squinted his eyes.

“Is that all Dragon Veins?”

Lian Yuze was dumbfounded: “It doesn’t look like just twenty-two…”

He was right; the Jin Guang was naturally not twenty-two Dragon Veins, but… eighty-eight!

In just one month, Su Han had opened dozens more Dragon Veins, only twenty away from reaching the limit!

When the time comes to break through to the Dragon Blood Realm, let alone merging with Dragon Blood, even merging with First Order Beast Blood would be enough to defeat a warrior of the Dragon Spirit Realm!

As for those in the Dragon Blood Realm, they were nothing more than ants in Su Han’s hands.

“Continue cultivating, in three days, you all will be able to become members of the God-Slaying Pavilion,” Su Han said, looking over Lian Yuze and the others.

Upon hearing Su Han’s words, they all trembled with excitement.

They had thought they would never again be part of a Sect, but now they had the chance, especially since in the Dragon Martial Continent, the status of a Sect was extraordinarily exalted.

…

Three days passed quickly.

That day, the Cold Cloud Sect held a grand ceremony.

Because today, the Cold Cloud Sect was officially promoted to an Eighth-Rate Sect!

The flow of people in Yuanshan County surged dramatically from early morning, far surpassing the influx that had come for the Cold Cloud Sect’s selection event.

The dragon blood warriors and even Dragon Spirit Realm experts, who were the pride of the Four Great Families, could now be seen casually walking on the streets today.

Obviously, these were people from other Sects, coming to congratulate the Cold Cloud Sect.

At this moment, in the Cold Cloud Sect, the Sect gates were opened wide, and several Elders stood at the entrance of the mountain gate.

One after another silhouette entered from outside the mountain gate, and from time to time, high-pitched greetings could be heard.

“Bright Moon Sect Sect Master has arrived—”

“Mysterious Yang Sect Sect Master has arrived—”

“Sect Master of the Sea Suppression Sect has arrived—”

Most of the people who came were from Ninth-Rate Sects, but there were not a few Eighth-Rate Sects as well.

However, the Ninth-Rate Sects were generally represented by their Sect Masters directly, while the Eighth-Rate Sects sent some Elders to offer congratulations.

Besides these Sects, there were also some Loose Cultivators.

The cultivation base of these Loose Cultivators was at least at the Dragon Pill Realm. Even if they hadn’t reached the Dragon Pill Realm, they possessed extremely powerful Dragon Techniques that allowed them to fight across tiers, and few dared to look down upon them.

“It seems Ling Qinghai has quite the good reputation,” Su Han remarked as he looked up from halfway up the mountainside to see a long line already formed in front of him. Only those from Eighth-Rate or above Sects could cut in line, placing themselves at the front.

It was fine for Eighth-Rate Sects to cut in, but others wouldn’t dare, given that the line was mostly comprised of members from Ninth-Rate Sects.

Nevertheless, the Cold Cloud Sect was efficient, and after about half an hour, Su Han finally stood before the mountain gate.

“It’s you?”

Seeing Su Han, the Elder slightly startled and then his face grew somber.

This person was none other than Huang Yuanzhang, who previously accepted Yang Lin as a disciple.

Obviously, Huang Yuanzhang was unaware of the matter between Ling Qinghai and Su Han, and was still displeased with Su Han’s previous arrogance.

“No good?” Su Han glanced at him.

“Invitation.”

Huang Yuanzhang was not in the mood for idle chatter with Su Han; if Su Han could not produce an invitation, he would be promptly sent down the mountain.

Clearly, Su Han had no intention of entangling himself with Huang Yuanzhang and straightforwardly handed over the invitation.

Upon seeing it, Huang Yuanzhang found himself in a difficult position.

Previously, he had announced the arrival of various Sect Masters and Elders, and even among the Loose Cultivators, there were those of great renown. But how was he to announce Su Han?

To simply not announce at all?

If he didn’t announce him, it would surely raise suspicions among those waiting behind and could potentially tarnish the reputation of the Cold Cloud Sect.

After pondering for a moment, Huang Yuanzhang loudly declared, “Young Master Su Han of the Xiao Family has arrived—”

“The Xiao Family? Which Xiao Family?”

“Isn’t this person merely at the Dragon Vein Realm? He also doesn’t seem to have any followers with him; does he possibly have a significant background?”

“Could it be the Xiao Family from Ping Le Mansion?”

“Haha, you are unaware, aren’t you? The Xiao Family he is from is not the one from Ping Le Mansion but the Xiao Family from Yuanshan County.”

“What? The Cold Cloud Sect even invited these small families from Yuanshan County?”

Immediately, the faces of those behind him furrowed in displeasure.

They had felt extremely proud to be invited here today, but now, hearing that the Cold Cloud Sect had even invited the small families from Yuanshan County, they couldn’t help but feel discontent.

To them, these small families from Yuanshan County were merely ants, not fit to sit on an equal footing with them.

“Hurry up and go inside, don’t embarrass yourself out here,” Huang Yuanzhang implored impatiently, waving his hand as if shooing away a fly.

Su Han’s brows knitted together as he was about to speak, but then he saw a large number of figures flashing forward from within the Cold Cloud Sect, with Ling Qinghai leading the way.

“Welcome, Young Master Su, to honor us with your presence.”

Ling Qinghai came directly in front of Su Han, his warm smile causing everyone present to freeze in place.

…

Ps: Damn, thanks to “Brother Love” for another reward of 1999 Book Currency, outdoing himself once again…

But brother, I really can’t burst into writing more right now; I do have some manuscript in hand, but it’s only a few chapters, and I have plans over the May Day holiday, so I need to keep it as a reserve…
