The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1093

Chapter 1093: Chapter 1090: Honor Without Disgrace Chapter 1093: Chapter 1090: Honor Without Disgrace Time swiftly passed, and more than half a month had gone by. Shen Luo didn't linger in Chang'an for too long. After sharing a drink with Bai Xiaotian and Lu Huaming at the Chang'an Tower, he set off to return to the Spring and Autumn Pavilion.

Originally, he wanted to call on Fu Donglai, but he learned that during his time recovering, Fu Donglai had left a message with Lu Huaming and had already left Chang'an City ahead of him, returning to his Sect at Lion Camel Ridge.

In that time, before Shen Luo took the initiative to pay a visit, it was Chen Shi Yuan who took the initiative to visit him.

Not only did he bring Shen Luo the complete Pure Yang Scripture as promised, but he also gave him several classics from within his Sect that were not to be disclosed to outsiders, not just cultivation classics but also Daoist alchemy classics.

This time, Chen Shi Yuan's attitude had changed from before. His words with Shen Luo became more polite.

Throughout their conversation, he was probing, trying to inquire about the Daoist lineage of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion.

Although Shen Luo had revitalized the Spring and Autumn Pavilion with his own hands, it was more to honor a promise made that year, so he had no desire for credit or intention to establish his own Sect.

Therefore, he still told Chen Shi Yuan that the Daoist lineage of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion would not change and would still be part of the Little Straw Mountain lineage.

Having received this verbal promise from Shen Luo, Chen Shi Yuan felt as if a weight had been lifted from his heart, and the smile on his face grew even more.

He had assumed that Shen Luo would take this opportunity to distance himself from Little Straw Mountain and thereafter establish himself as the founding ancestor of his own Sect. After all, with the support of the Great Tang Government, it wouldn't be surprising for the Spring and Autumn Pavilion to prosper, and in no more than a hundred years, it would become a mid-level Sect.

Chen Shi Yuan had even readied himself to form an alliance with the Spring and Autumn Pavilion.

The outcome was beyond his expectations. With a wave of his hand, Chen Shi Yuan took care of a concern for Little Straw Mountain, deploying over a hundred Daoist officials to help Shen Luo expand the Spring and Autumn Pavilion.

Shen Luo intended to refuse, but after some consideration, he agreed to it.

The foundation of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion was indeed too shallow, and if they wished to develop sustainably in the future, having Little Straw Mountain as a sheltering tree was naturally the best option.

Three days later, the morning sun rose in the east, illuminating the earth.

The entire Qinghua Mountain was enveloped in the morning sun, both the mountain wall and the ground reflecting gold. The Spring and Autumn Pavilion was also the same, glowing radiantly, especially solemn.

All the structures within the Pavilion had been completely restored, and at this moment, Qin Guan was leading several disciples in their morning practice.

Suddenly, a huge whooshing sound came from outside, causing the entire Qinghua Mountain to quiver slightly.

“What's going on?” Qin Guan stood up abruptly, rushing out of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion with a drastic change in expression.

He saw an azure flying boat, dozens of zhang in length, appear outside the Spring and Autumn Pavilion. The long flying boat was surrounded by swirling green light, stirring up the clouds in the sky and causing a fierce wind to blow.

The flying boat was enclosed, hiding the identities of those above.

Zhou Fu and the other Spring and Autumn Pavilion disciples had never seen such a giant boat, and they all stood there, stunned.

Although Qin Guan was also inexplicably shocked, as the master of a Pavilion in front of his disciples, he could not show fear; he took a deep breath and made a hand signal.

A streak of red light lifted his body, carrying him ten-odd zhang from the ground. This was a flying magical instrument gifted to him by Shen Luo, which he could barely use given his Qi Refining Late Stage realm.

“Which Daoist friend has come to the Spring and Autumn Pavilion?” Feeling the powerful fluctuations emanating from beneath his feet, Qin Guan's heart steadied, and he called out loudly.

Zhou Fu and the others, seeing Qin Guan soaring into the air, all wore looks of surprise and delight, and their fear of the azure flying boat lessened substantially.

“Brother Qin, it's me.” A figure descended from the azure flying boat; it was Shen Luo.

“Junior Brother Shen, so it was you. It's good that you're back safely, but why make such a grand entrance? I thought we were under attack,” Qin Guan said with a sigh of relief, somewhat complaining.

“I had no choice, as it wasn't just me returning this time,” said Shen Luo, and with a flick of his sleeve, he gestured toward the azure flying boat behind him.

The flying boat slowly descended to the ground, and then a big gate on the front section swung open, with nearly a hundred figures filing out.

These people were all dressed in qing-colored Daoist robes, the Daoist officials promised by Chen Shi Yuan to be sent over to help with the expansion of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, though Chen Shi Yuan himself had not come along.

Once everyone had disembarked, Shen Luo made a hand gesture toward the azure flying boat.

The enormous flying boat quickly shrank, turning into a palm-sized miniature vessel in the blink of an eye, disappearing into his sleeve.

This flying boat, which he had exchanged with Chen Shi Yuan for five hundred Immortal Jade, was not particularly fast, but its sole feature was its large capacity, capable of carrying two to three hundred people.

“Junior Brother Shen, who are these people?” Qin Guan asked in surprise.

“These are the Daoist officials from Little Straw Mountain. I have fortunately fulfilled my mission and won the Three Realms Martial Arts Conference. To win me over, Chen Shi Yuan dispatched these people to help rebuild the Spring and Autumn Pavilion,” Shen Luo replied using a communication talisman.

“Really?” Qin Guan stood still, taking a while to come to terms with the news, asking incredulously.

The scale of the Three Realms Martial Arts Conference was immense, with many famous sects from the Three Realms participating. Though Shen Luo's cultivation level was strong, Qin Guan had not even considered the possibility of him winning. His only wish was for Shen Luo to return safely so that the Spring and Autumn Pavilion could continue to develop.

“It's true. Elder Shen defeated strong opponents in the Three Realms Martial Arts Conference to seize the final victory. This matter has now spread throughout the Three Realms,” a somewhat portly middle-aged man among the hundred or so Daoist officials said with a smile.

This man was the leader of the hundred or so Daoists, but his own cultivation wasn't very strong, merely at the Late Grain Avoidance stage.

As for the other Daoist officials, only a few had cultivation levels, mostly in the Qi Refining Stage. The rest were ordinary people who had practiced some physical strengthening skills.

These Daoist officials were just from the periphery of Little Straw Mountain; otherwise, Chen Shi Yuan wouldn't have been able to casually dispatch over a hundred people.

“Great! That's wonderful!” Qin Guan looked at the man and, once convinced, said excitedly.

Although Shen Luo represented Little Straw Mountain in the Three Realms Martial Arts Conference, he was after all a member of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion. This victory would bring great benefits to the pavilion – not to mention the prestige which would undoubtedly vex the threat of the Tianyin Gate any longer.

“Under the rules of the Three Realms Martial Arts Conference, the Spring and Autumn Pavilion will now receive a hundred years of support from the Great Tang Dynasty Government. This is the first batch of supplies I brought back from the government. Take these and continue to enhance the strength of our pavilion,” Shen Luo said as he took out a storage magical tool and handed it to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming, who previously wasn't very familiar with the rules of the Three Realms Martial Arts Conference, was even more overjoyed upon hearing this.

“Rest assured, Junior Brother Shen, I will make proper use of these resources and develop our pavilion as quickly as possible,” Qin Ming said seriously as he accepted the storage magical tool, taking a deep breath.

“I had some insights during the Martial Arts Conference, and I need to continue my cultivation in seclusion. You handle the matters of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion. As for these people, use them as you see fit. Lin Hu, from now on, follow Qin Guan's orders – his commands are my commands,” Shen Luo said to Qin Guan, and then turned to look at the portly middle-aged man beside him.

“Yes, I will dutifully follow Elder Shen's orders and heed Pavilion Master Qin Ming's commands,” said Lin Hu respectfully.

“Thank you then, Brother Lin,” Qin Ming said with a smile, bowing his hands in thanks.

“If you encounter any problems you can't solve, use these communication talismans to notify me.” Shen Luo handed a stack of communication talismans to Qin Ming and then soared towards the back mountain.

Knowing that those with high cultivation often need to seclude themselves, Qin Ming did not say much. He accepted the talismans and started to familiarize himself with Lin Hu.
