Chapter 785 Exchange Meeting
Chapter 785 Exchange Meeting
After everyone got to know each other, they simply praised each other.
For example, words like "I've long heard of your name" and "Seeing in person is worse than hearing about it".
Although they were all polite words, they made the whole atmosphere relaxed and cheerful.
After the greetings, Murong Yu from Liangyi Sect was the first to ask:
"I heard that Brother Lu, with his initial stage of fusion cultivation, was able to cross the entire Antarctic restricted area and come to Dongxuanzhou.
I wonder if we can follow Brother Lu's example and go to Nanyouzhou in the same way?"
Murong Yu's question made everyone present prick up their ears.
They are all representatives from various major forces and are very concerned about this issue.
After all, if they could get useful information from Lu Chen, it would be crucial for them to get out of Dongxuan Continent.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen did not hide anything, but repeated what he had said to the three old men.
However, when everyone learned that Lu Chen was just captured by the demon tribe and lost his way, he met Xiang Donghua by chance.
The expressions on everyone's faces suddenly became complicated.
Most people's eyes revealed disappointment and contempt.
The original expectation that Lu Chen could bring some important news was also shattered.
Only a small number of people still maintain a calm and thoughtful attitude.
Lu Chen didn't care about these looks and doubts. After all, this was an exchange meeting. He was just going along with the arrangements made by the head of Wuwei Sword Sect.
However, he could take this opportunity to contact Sima Nanshou of the Southern Region Ice Palace and learn about Guo Deliang's information.
Xiang Donghua saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly turned the topic to cultivation.
However, as soon as Xiang Donghua finished speaking, Hua Mingxiu of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace laughed disdainfully:
"Brother Xiang, I think it's unnecessary to discuss cultivation.
Who among you here is not at the late stage of fusion or above, and would like to discuss cultivation with Brother Lu?
With Brother Lu's cultivation at the early stage of fusion, aren't you making things difficult for Brother Lu?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Hua Mingxiu's words were clearly sarcastic and immediately caused everyone to laugh.
Xiang Donghua's expression changed slightly when he saw this, but he quickly regained his composure and tried to smooth things over with a smile:
"Brother Hua, you are joking. We are all cultivators in the fusion stage. It is normal for our cultivation levels to be different.
Only by exchanging cultivation experiences and learning from each other can we make progress together!"
However, Hua Mingxiu sneered and said relentlessly:
"Brother Xiang, all of us have practiced for longer than Brother Lu.
Naturally, I have more experience. If I let Brother Lu speak, wouldn't it make Brother Lu even more embarrassed?"
"That's right, Brother Lu is only in the early stage of fusion, what experience can he talk about?" Hua Yourong echoed.
"Brother Lu, you should listen to our opinions!" Murong Bai tried to act like a good guy and persuaded him.
For a moment, everyone spoke up and expressed their contempt for Lu Chen.
Xiang Donghua looked at Lu Chen awkwardly when he saw this, and then he sent a telepathic message to Lu Chen to apologize.
He didn't expect that things would turn out like this.
Lu Chen watched all this quietly, and used his telepathy to tell Xiang Donghua not to take it seriously, sneering in his heart.
I thought to myself: "These people are really self-righteous, thinking that they are great just because they have high cultivation levels.
You know, with my current strength, if it takes me more than fifteen breaths to kill you, I will admit defeat, and they will attack together."
Seeing that Lu Chen remained silent, Xiang Donghua took the initiative to talk about his own experience in cultivation to ease the atmosphere since he was the one who brought up the topic again.
However, the others, as if they had discussed it beforehand, brought up some tricky cultivation topics one after another.
At first Xiang Donghua could handle them easily, but as the difficulty of the questions increased, Xiang Donghua became hesitant.
Lu Chen on the side could see that everyone clearly wanted to embarrass Xiang Donghua in order to make everyone laugh. This might be what Feng Tiancheng said, fighting openly and secretly.
Therefore, whenever Xiang Donghua got stuck, Lu Chen would take the initiative to help him out.
With the help of the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue, Lu Chen basically answered all the questions fluently, and could even extend the questions and apply them to other situations.
Every time this happened, everyone had an illusion that Lu Chen's analysis of the great Dao was even more thorough than their master's.
Listening to Lu Chen's explanation, everyone showed expressions of sudden enlightenment, and a feeling of enlightenment surged in their hearts.
They began to understand their previous confusion and doubts, and at the same time they also felt great respect for Lu Chen's abilities.
As time went by, unknowingly, the exchange meeting had become Lu Chen's personal show.
His voice was as loud as a huge bell, and every word he said was full of power and wisdom.
The people who originally looked down on Lu Chen now became serious and began to listen carefully to Lu Chen's explanation.
After all, someone who can have such profound insights is definitely not an ordinary person.
Finally, until Lu Chen finished speaking, everyone was immersed in it and couldn't extricate themselves.
Even Xiang Donghua looked at Lu Chen in shock, as if he didn't recognize him.
Shangguan Mingyue and Shangguan Qiu Shui of Taixuan Sect showed a strong interest in Lu Chen in their beautiful eyes.
However, at this moment, an inappropriate voice suddenly sounded, breaking this rare harmonious atmosphere.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Hua Mingxiu from the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace sneer with disdain on his face:
"Humph, this is ridiculous. I don't know where you heard these fallacies from.
You know, theory is just empty talk after all, the key lies in actual combat.
For example, when a low-level cultivator meets a high-level cultivator, he still has to kowtow and call him "senior."
Shangguan Mingyue heard this, a trace of displeasure flashed across her face, and she immediately retorted:
"Fellow Daoist Hua is wrong. What Fellow Daoist Lu just said was his experience and insights in cultivation. I believe everyone here can understand the profound meaning contained in it.
I just noticed that Fellow Hua Dao was listening very attentively, and I believe he benefited a lot from it.
Then why are you relying on your own skills to distort the facts now? "
When Lu Chen heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved.
He never expected that Shangguan Mingyue would stand up and defend himself.
So, he gave Shangguan Mingyue a grateful look to express his gratitude.
When Hua Mingxiu saw Shangguan Mingyue standing up for Lu Chen, he immediately felt embarrassed.
Just because he can’t do anything to Shangguan Mingyue doesn’t mean he can’t do anything to Lu Chen.
Then, Hua Mingxiu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said:
"Everyone! Since this is an exchange meeting, it would be too boring to just talk. It's a rare occasion for us to get together.
I suggest that we have a competition to test each other's progress.
Of course, I suggest that everyone should just stop at the right point and not hurt the harmony between each other.”
"This is a good suggestion. I have long wanted to learn Brother Xiang's sword skills, but I have never had a suitable opportunity."
Sima Nanshou of the Southern Region Ice Palace agreed upon hearing this.
The five major sects had always been in a relationship of open and covert competition, so naturally, no one had any objection to Hua Mingxiu's proposal, and they all spoke out in agreement.
When Hua Mingxiu saw that his proposal was recognized by everyone, a proud smile appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Lu Chen did not say anything. Anyway, no matter what, he was not afraid of anyone coming...
