Just as the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor was regretting that the Saint of the Qingshan Sect wasn't born to his own Saintess, Sword Lunatic and the Great Ancestor of the Danji Sect exchanged a look.
“Doesn't he look really similar?” Sword Lunatic asked, staring at Lu Ming!
The Great Ancestor of the Danji Sect also stared at Lu Ming and said, “Is it possible that it really is him?”
Sword Lunatic's eyes suddenly went wide!
Then, he turned his gaze to Big Yellow and the others!
Suddenly, he spoke: “Why are we blindly guessing? We can just ask to find out...”
With that, Sword Lunatic sent a sound transmission to Big Yellow to ask!
A moment later, Sword Lunatic nodded to the Great Ancestor of the Danji Sect!
Seeing Sword Lunatic nod, a flash of joy crossed the eyes of the Great Ancestor of the Danji Sect.
Although they didn't know what had happened, it was enough that he was alive!
Meanwhile, Abbot Zhiyuan, who had just given Lu Ming his meeting gift, stared at the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect.
His look clearly said: Now it's your turn to present the birthday gift!
You wouldn't withhold it, would you? So many people are watching!
The Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect didn't waste any words and directly retrieved a translucent, pearly-white sphere of light.
The moment the sphere of light appeared, fine and mysterious golden Dao patterns circulated across it.
Strands of the Heavenly Dao's aura swept across the entire venue.
Exclamations of shock instantly erupted one after another from below the stage.
“So many Heavenly Dao rules!”
“And they've been refined so purely!”
“If one could refine and absorb this, it would save a hundred years of comprehension!”
Some cultivators stared at the sphere of light with trembling fingertips, their minds thoroughly shaken: “Just being near it is immensely beneficial!”
The cultivators of the Central Province also burst into heated discussion:
“As expected of the Qingshan Sect, their generosity is truly lavish!”
“Excuse me, how does one join the Qingshan Sect?”
...
Even the members of the Ancient God Clan were deeply moved.
Even if they wanted to refine Heavenly Dao rules for their younger generation to use directly, they would still have to pay a massive price. It would probably take several hundred years and a massive array to refine this much.
Abbot Zhiyuan's breath also hitched as he looked at the sphere of Heavenly Dao rules in the hand of the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect.
This was definitely not a loss!
But there was also a question: were there any issues with the Heavenly Dao rules refined by the Qingshan Sect?
If they gave this to their Buddha Son to refine, would something go wrong?
Seeing Abbot Zhiyuan dazed, the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect's brow twitched: “What? Do you find the Qingshan Sect's birthday gift too shabby?”
Abbot Zhiyuan hurriedly reached out to receive it: “How could that be? This poor monk was simply too excited and failed to react for a moment!”
After putting away the sphere of Heavenly Dao rules, Abbot Zhiyuan quickly invited the members of the Qingshan Sect to take their seats.
When the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect brought Lu Ming to their seats, he did not sit down immediately.
Instead, he led Lu Ming straight to the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan, frightening the Patriarch so much that his entire body shuddered.
With a sharp slap, he slumped back into his seat!
This guy isn't going to beat me up, is he?
The Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan was on the verge of tears!
If he got beaten up here, the humiliation would be immense!
The Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect raised an eyebrow and asked with some confusion: “Fellow Daoist Han, what is wrong with you?”
The Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan's eyes lit up. He wasn't going to get beaten up!
“Ah... nothing! It's just an old ailment of mine. My heart flutters whenever I see you... Ah! No, I mean, I feel delighted whenever I see you!”
The Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect nodded. “If you are sick, you must get treated. Don't just force yourself to endure it!”
The Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan looked thoroughly embarrassed. “I will, I will...”
Right then, the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect turned to Lu Ming and said, “This is the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan!”
Lu Ming hurriedly bowed and saluted: “Greetings, Senior Gu!”
The Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan was stunned. He just changed my surname like that?
The Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect's lips also twitched: “This child... your Senior Gu's surname is Han!”
“Oh! Greetings, Senior Gu Han!” Lu Ming quickly corrected himself.
The Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan had a forehead full of black lines as he stared at Lu Ming's tender face.
He felt that he shouldn't lower himself to bicker with a child.
Most importantly, he couldn't beat the child's guardian!
Meanwhile, the members of the other ancient powers breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the kid was only a monstrous genius in cultivation, but his intellect was still normal.
At the very least, it was consistent with the intellect of a three-year-old child.
Just then, Lu Ming's voice rang out once more: “Senior Gu Han, just one meeting gift is fine, no need to give me three!”
“Huh?”
Hearing those familiar words, the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan was stunned!
So the kid was demanding a meeting gift from him?
The problem was, he really didn't want to give one!
His clan had been a bit poor lately!
“Ahem... Gu Han... Fellow Daoist Han, if you make our Saint cry, I won't let you off easily!” The voice of the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect rang out from the side.
“Ah! I'll give it... I'll give it right away. It's my first time meeting the Saint, so how could I not give a meeting gift?”
Saying this, the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan quickly rummaged through his storage bag, pulled out a protection magical artifact, and handed it to Lu Ming!
“Thank you, Senior Gu Han!”
Lu Ming accepted the protection magical artifact with a beaming smile.
The Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan: “...”
So you're never going to correct my surname, are you?
Just then, Lu Ming's eyes sparkled as he fished out a mushroom with a red stalk and a black cap from his storage bag and handed it to the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan!
“Senior Gu Han, I see that your complexion doesn't look too good. This is a Lunar Radiance Mushroom. You should eat it to nourish your body!”
The Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan's eyelids twitched violently. “This is a Lunar Radiance Mushroom?”
Isn't this a Frost-Bloom Death Mushroom?
It was a low-grade poisonous mushroom!
Lu Ming smiled sweetly. “It's definitely a Lunar Radiance Mushroom. It's incredibly nourishing! Senior Gu Han, eat it quickly!”
The Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan: “...”
Everyone around them looked at the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan with faces full of sympathy!
The Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan looked to the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect for help!
Aren't you going to discipline your child?
He's passing off a poisonous mushroom as a tonic and forcing people to eat it!
And does he act like this at home too?
The Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect let out a somewhat helpless sigh: “Sigh... the child is just mischievous. It's fine, it won't kill you anyway!”
The Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan couldn't help but want to curse his mother!
Are you even speaking human words right now?
In the end, he still took the poisonous mushroom from Lu Ming's hand and stuffed it into his mouth!
“Fragrant... truly fragrant! Saint of the Qingshan Sect, your Lunar Radiance Mushroom is absolutely delicious! Why don't you let them have a taste as well...”
As he spoke, while forcing the toxin out of his system, he pointed at Huangpu Haotian and the others.
Dammit, if we're going to eat it, we all eat it. I won't be the only one humiliated!
Huangpu Haotian, Mo Qianye, and the others wished they could tear the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan to shreds.
Too shameless!!
It's fine if you lose face on your own, but why did you have to drag us into this?
Before Lu Ming could even speak, the others quickly pulled out treasures of their own and presented them to Lu Ming as meeting gifts!
They certainly didn't want to be fed poisonous mushrooms!
Lu Ming happily put away the meeting gifts given by the group.
Then, he still gifted each of them a poisonous mushroom in return!
Only Man Yu was given a bottle of top-grade recovery pills in return!
The Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan felt a bit indignant: “Saint of the Qingshan Sect, why is what you gave her different from ours?”
Lu Ming blinked his large eyes. “She's big and tall, so she doesn't need nourishing!”
The Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan looked at the smug-faced Man Yu and was left speechless!
Well, she was indeed tall and sturdy!
“The Buddha Son has arrived!”
A resonant Buddhist chant instantly swept across the entire venue, drowning out all the surrounding noise.
Everyone looked up and saw golden lotuses unfurling across the sky, radiating boundless golden light.
The three-year-old Ye Fan sat cross-legged on a lotus platform, descending from the void!
Shrouded in a peaceful Buddhist light, he instantly made anyone who looked at him feel a sense of closeness!
This was the grand entrance Abbot Zhiyuan had specially arranged for Ye Fan!
It was done precisely to showcase Ye Fan's extraordinary nature!
If Lu Ming hadn't appeared first and stolen the spotlight, Ye Fan would definitely have been even more stunning and spectacular!
It would also have been highly beneficial for the future development of their Ancient Buddha Sect!
