This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 438 - 4: The Arrival of the King

Chapter 438 -4: The Arrival of the King

“He is Li Fei?”

“Yes, so young, just 18 years old.”

“This time Wuda actually sent him as well.”

“…”

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Li Fei, buzzing with discussions.

An 18-year-old at the Tao Foundation Stage, having the fastest recorded Breakthrough speed, was indeed legendary; even Martial Arts Masters couldn’t help but take several glances.

Such a person, if not dying young, should at least start his achievements as a master!

“Are you the leader of this Wuda delegation?”

Chi Xu looked at Li Fei, somewhat surprised.

“Yes, thanks to Principal Shi’s favor, I am leading this delegation.”

Li Fei spoke calmly and confidently.

“Wow!”

Hearing this answer, the surrounding people showed astonishment.

Except for those like Nolan Zhi who had inquired about this beforehand, the rest had not expected that a student would represent Wu’an University this time!

“Youth truly is to be feared.”

Chi Xu was silent for a moment, then remarked emotionally.

He had some acquaintances with Professor Xiang Dongliang from Wuda and after a brief chat with him, he left.

After Chi Xu left, people’s eyes still occasionally rested on Li Fei, and most of their conversations were related to him.

About ten minutes later, several buses drove into the open area; Daluo Sect had arranged buses to take the people away.

After everyone boarded, the buses left Daluo Town and traveled for about thirty minutes before arriving at the foot of Daluo Peak.

Next, everyone needed to walk up the mountain.

At the base of Daluo Peak, there was a white jade archway inscribed with the three large characters “Daluo Sect.”

Passing through this archway, beside the climbing steps, there was also a massive rock carved with four forceful characters:

“Taoism Ancestral Court!”

This rock wasn’t Daluo’s own doing, but a gift from the founding Emperor of the Da Lan Dynasty!

Before the Da Lan Dynasty unified the Eastern Continent, Buddhism had been more prestigious and powerful than Taoism, with followers all over the world, and in some countries, it was even established as the state religion.

Only after the establishment of the Da Lan Dynasty did Taoism’s status gradually elevate.

Today, it had completely surpassed Buddhism.

“I’m Qing Xia, representing the Daluo Sect to welcome everyone.”

Beside the huge rock labeled “Taoism Ancestral Court” stood a female Taoist in a blue Taoist robe, wearing a Taoist crown, holding a horsetail whisk, and exuding an ethereal and elegant aura.

This person was Qing Xia, the Peak Master of Luoxia Peak.

Luoxia Peak had always handled the external affairs of the Daluo Sect, and thus Qing Xia was the True Master who interacted with the outside world the most; many Martial Arts Masters present knew her and greeted her:

“Nice to meet you, True Master Qing Xia.”

“True Master, your grace is everlasting.”

“…”

True Master Qing Xia also interacted naturally with various Martial Arts Masters, after which she made a guiding gesture:

“Please, this way.”

So, the group began to climb the mountain.

The delegation from thirteen universities consisted entirely of Martial Artists, and for them climbing was no trouble at all.

Although True Master Qing Xia wasn’t a martial practitioner, the Daluo Sect emphasized the art of health preservation; being a True Master who nourished her physical body with True Power all year round, her physical condition was not inferior, allowing her to keep up with everyone’s pace easily.

After climbing halfway up the mountain, everyone entered a mist.

Walking at the front, True Master Qing Xia waved her hand, and the fog ahead automatically cleared to the sides, making the path visible.

In just over forty minutes, everyone reached the mountaintop and were then arranged to rest in different courtyards.

At the same time, everyone received an invitation to dinner:

Tonight, the Daluo Sect would hold a sumptuous banquet called the Qionghua Banquet on Daluo Peak, hosting representatives from the thirteen universities.

The Sect Master of Daluo Sect, Qingxu True Monarch, would personally attend!

A banquet hosted by a contemporary True Monarch, the standard could be said to be top-notch!

In secular terms, an ‘Emperor’ is the pinnacle of the mundane world.

The ‘Monarch’ in True Monarch signifies its honor, holding a status equivalent to the ‘Saint’ in Martial Saint.

A ‘Monarch’ and a ‘Saint’ both represent the pinnacle of the cultivation world!

This time, except for Wuda, the leaders of the other universities were vice-principals, all Martial Arts Masters.

Normally, if Daluo Sect were to host the banquet with several True Masters or a Great Grandmaster in charge of receiving the guests, it would already be considered significant.

No one would find it inappropriate.

Nobody expected Qingxu True Monarch to show up in person!

“I just heard some news.”

In the room, Ke Yan gathered Li Fei and two professors together and revealed what he had found out:

“Every year, the Daluo Sect refines a batch of Elixirs for His Majesty in the palace to prolong life. The completion of the Elixir is always in August, and there has never been an error. But a week ago, the batch of Elixir that Daluo Sect was refining for His Majesty was lost.”

“Lost? Where was it lost?”

Professor Xiang Dongliang asked in surprise.

“That’s the strange part; it was lost within Daluo Sect itself!”

Ke Yan had an odd expression.

The Elixir refined by Daluo Sect for His Majesty… lost within Daluo Sect…

This was indeed hard to justify.

This is Daluo Sect!

With one True Monarch, one Martial Saint, several True Masters, and Great Grandmasters.

In such a place, could it really be invaded by external thieves?

And if it was an inside job, then the nature of this matter would become quite intriguing.

To put it mildly, it was negligence; to put it harshly, it was deceiving the Emperor!

“What’s the reaction from the palace?”

Li Fei asked.

He intuitively felt that this matter might impact the upcoming Martial Arts exchange competition.

“So far, there hasn’t been any word from the palace, or rather, we haven’t been able to find out yet.”
