C3 8th Seat
This was simply a joke. In Chen Fan's mind, this Qing Xuan Sect was built by his useless third disciple. In terms of seniority, these few old men in the hall should have called him something.
"Chen Fan, Little Fellow Taoist, where did you find out about this jade pendant? It's the Ancient Token of Grand Master of the Qing Xuan Sect?"
The Second Elder couldn't hold his temper anymore. The rumors about the Ancient Token of Grand Master were rarely heard in the Cultivation Realm, not to mention that this young man didn't seem to be someone who knew about this secret no matter how he looked at it.
"I've already told you that this jade pendant is my family's heirloom. My little grandfather told me everything about the Qing Xuan Sect, as well as the origin of the Ancient Token of Grand Master and so on." Chen Fan replied with certainty.
If Lan Yu and the others wanted to verify it, Chen Fan could blurt out a lot of the Sect's past without hesitation. The reason why he left the Ancient Token of Grand Master behind was because of this. To come back today with a trustworthy treasure.
"Sigh, I never thought that the Ancient Token of Grand Master would appear again. I wonder if it's a blessing or a disaster..." The few elders had already appraised the Ancient Token of Grand Master in person. At this moment, an inexplicable expression appeared on their old faces, as if they were slightly bitter.
This item could be said to carry the glorious history of the Qing Xuan Sect. Thousands of years ago, the Sect had flourished greatly, firmly occupying the throne of the number one sect. At that time, the Ancestral Masters had seized the opportunity to forge five Ancient Tokens with all their might.
This item was said to be connected to the fate of the Qing Xuan Sect. Although it didn't have any actual power, it was known by the entire Cultivation Realm. The ingredients were poked by the words of their ancestors. Not long after that, the Qing Xuan Sect encountered an unexpected event and the Ancient Tokens disappeared without a trace.
"Then, do you have any other elders in your family?" The Great Elder suddenly asked with a trembling voice. This was rare in Senior Expert.
"Grandfather and several uncles passed away one after another. Father left Barbarian Domain half a year ago. Now, the family is probably occupied by wild beasts." Chen Fan had a faint sorrowful expression. With his current age, this kind of expression was suitable.
"What? Did the Great Elder think of something?" Lan Yu sensed something was wrong, but the former didn't seem to have any intention of explaining. He just gave a meaningful look.
"Are the elders done with their questions? Then can I do it? Chen Fan gently twisted his fingers. To a businessman, this posture meant that it was made of real gold and silver.
"Tell me, what do you want? As long as you can hand over the Ancient Token as you wish, and the Spiritual Being that the Qing Xuan Sect can take out, you can just say whatever you want."
After exchanging a secret conversation with the Spiritual Consciousness, Lan Yu spoke to Chen Fan. The latter wasn't too surprised, as this was already within his expectations.
Everyone knew that the Ancient Token of Grand Master was connected to the Qing Xuan Sect's fate. No one could explain why, but thousands of years had passed. Every time the Ancient Token of Grand Master returned, the Qing Xuan Sect would welcome an expansion.
At that time, the few ancestors had already said their words. Anyone who obtained the recognition of the Ancient Token would be able to raise a condition that could not be rejected before handing it back to the Sect.
From this irrefutable fact, Chen Fan had to be satisfied and hand over the Ancient Token according to his wishes. It wasn't because Reverend Lan Yu and the others had forced him to do so that the Qing Xuan Sect would be able to return to this strange divine item.
"I want your eighth elder seat!" Chen Fan's words gave Reverend Lan Yu and the others a shock.
"That's impossible. Even though the Qing Xuan Sect has been declining for a long time, the elders of the Sect have a high position. How could they give it to you for nothing?" The Second Elder was the first to reject the offer.
"I think you should change your condition. You can even open the thousand-year treasury and let you choose from it until Chen Fan and Little Fellow Taoist are satisfied." Third Elder's suggestion was also very tempting. The foundation of a transcendent power was always very strong.
"Then I will also forgive you for not giving me this Ancient Token of Grand Master. If everyone has the same opinion, I would rather throw it into the vast wilderness." Chen Fan said resolutely. His attitude was very firm, and he did not intend to make any concessions.
He had decided to make use of the only inheritance left by the Qing Xuan Sect to reorganize his forces. If it was just a simple disciple, his status would be too low. Moreover, he couldn't accept it. He had to become part of the Sect's decision-making circle as soon as possible.
The few elders looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say anything. No one could play around with the fortune of the Sect, and they couldn't bear the responsibility.
"Chen Fan, Little Fellow Taoist, don't be in such a hurry. This old man can understand why young men are so angry. Perhaps we can slow down for now. The seat of elder is very important, so it's unrealistic to settle it with just one sentence. Don't you agree?"
The dignified Sect Leader, Lan Yu had no choice but to open his mouth and try his best to pacify Chen Fan.
"There is still room to discuss this matter. We will discuss it later. We will arrange a place for Chen Fan and Little Fellow Taoist to stay first. This is an important guest of the Qing Xuan Sect. Naturally, we can't neglect him."
The Great Elder stepped forward to smooth things over. Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that this old man must be holding back his words.
"Unfortunately, Bai Yu is going to be promoted to the position of elder tomorrow. Moreover, it seems like only his qualifications and strength are matched in Sect. " The Fifth Elder's voice was neither loud nor soft, and it could be detected by everyone in the hall.
"What?" Chen Fan immediately gave up when he heard this. The first step of reigning over the Qing Xuan Sect had been obstructed. This was something he absolutely couldn't tolerate.
"There are still people who want to snatch my position as an elder. I'll go and fight with him right now and see which idiot is so arrogant!"
This was a plan that he had been planning for a long time. Starting from the position of an elder of Qing Xuan Sect, if someone wanted to intercept him halfway, it would be the perfect time to use it to establish his dominance.
Venerable Lan Yu: “......”
At the same time, the other elders looked confused, but they didn't say anything. Who was the more suitable person to be arrogant? It was indeed a question worth discussing.
Chen Fan relied on the Ancient Token of Grand Master in his hand to ask for the title of an elder. His appetite was so big that there was no limit to it, let alone challenging Bai Yu who was preparing to advance. He had never seen such an arrogant young man in his hundreds of years of cultivation.
Without saying much, Chen Fan didn't like being passive. No matter when or where he was, even if he had zero trump cards in his hands, he had to at least show his strong attitude.
Under his insistence, Venerable Lan Yu had no choice but to send someone to inform Bai Yu in a hurry and call him to the Heaven Palace Hall. Chen Fan had to confront him face to face. This Lord Sect Leader really didn't understand what the latter was trying to do.
It was clear that he did not have the slightest bit of cultivation aura, but he was able to retrieve the Ancient Token from him like he was snatching a white blade with his bare hands. He had just arrived at the Qing Xuan Sect, yet he had already made such a big fuss. All of them were shocked.
