One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

"Quick! What a blessing! Go and pack up the best things in our treasure trove!"

Grandma Guan, leaning on her cane, called out in the courtyard with a strong voice:

"We haven't finished repaying the kindness of our ancestor who transformed into a dragon. When Master Tian Shu takes on a disciple, we, the shamans of the Northeast, must be the first to do so!"

Jiangnan, the Zhuge family.

Zhuge Qing's father looked at the message his son sent back, stroked his beard, and nodded repeatedly.

"This kid has really hitched a ride with a powerful backer this time. Someone, go to the accounting office and get the money..."

The World Association.

Feng Zhenghao, being extremely wealthy, chartered a private jet.

"Xingtong, Shayan, you two come with me."

Feng Zhenghao straightened his suit, his eyes revealing awe for the powerful:

"Prepare an extremely generous gift list. This is not just a congratulatory gesture, but also the best opportunity for our Tianxia Society to demonstrate our sincerity!"

In just one day.

Throughout the entire world of supernatural beings, from the Ten Elders families to various sects, and even those independent individuals with some fame.

Everyone was alarmed by the invitation from Longhu Mountain.

Some were shocked, some were envious, and some were secretly plotting.

Regardless of their true feelings, everyone who received the invitation immediately put down what they were doing.

They prepared the most precious gifts and headed towards Yingtan, Jiangxi.

Chapter 307 A Shameless Obstacle to the Road

At the foot of Longhu Mountain.

The day before the ordination ceremony, this usually quiet Taoist ancestral temple was transformed into a bustling train station during the Spring Festival travel rush.

Outside the mountain gate, a temporary welcoming tent with a red background and gold lettering was erected.

Long tables were set up under the shed, covered with bright red silk.

Zhang Chulan was wearing a sharp black suit today, and his hair was combed perfectly.

He even got a pair of glasses from somewhere and was wearing them.

He held a calligraphy brush in his hand, and a thick red gift book was spread out in front of him.

This kid couldn't wait to rush back from Beijing a few days ago, and he's overjoyed right now.

"Oh my! Aren't these the Taoist priests from Wudang?"

"You must be tired from your long journey!"

Zhang Chulan bowed to the Taoist priests from afar, and then elbowed Wang Ye, who was leaning against a pillar and yawning.

"Old Wang, wake up! Your family is here, hurry up and greet them!"

Wang Ye, with dark circles under his eyes, reluctantly straightened up.

He looked at his fellow disciples from Wudang Mountain, awkwardly tugged at the corners of his mouth, and cupped his hands, saying, "Dear fellow disciples... please come in."

The elders of Wudang looked at Wang Ye, who was wearing a red vest to welcome guests, and their mouths twitched.

How did a esteemed disciple of Wudang end up as a waiter in Longhu Mountain?

"Ten boxes of top-grade agarwood from Wudang Mountain! Three bottles of Wudang Jade Pivot Pills!"

As Zhang Chulan called out in a loud voice, he scribbled notes in the ledger with swift, flowing strokes, all the while praising the books he was writing.

"Oh my, Wudang's heritage is truly profound. This gift is really practical! My second master loves these kinds of useful and down-to-earth things!"

"Please come in, fellow Taoist priests. Seats have been reserved for you!"

Once the Wudang people had reached the top of the mountain, Wang Ye rubbed his sore cheeks and glared at Zhang Chulan with annoyance:

"Old Zhang, your eating manners are really disgusting! You're so loud, it's like you're broadcasting from a megaphone all over the mountain."

"We're a reputable sect holding a grand ceremony, and you're making it look like bandits demanding tolls."

Zhuge Qing, who was serving tea and water nearby, added with a smile:

"Old Wang, that's what you don't understand. Chu Lan is just creating atmosphere."

"If he doesn't announce the gifts from the sects in front, how can the wealthy families behind him possibly offer some trivial things as a token of appreciation?"

"Hehe, Lao Qing understands me best."

Zhang Chulan smugly tucked the calligraphy brush behind his ear, rubbed his hands together, and stared at the entrance to the mountain path like a weasel eyeing a flock of sheep.

“This grand ceremony cost a lot of real money. Although my advisor is generous, we younger generation must learn to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.”

While these people were arguing,

A large group of people walked towards the mountain pass.

The one walking at the front, leaning on a dragon-headed cane, had an old face that didn't look too good.

The person following beside him, with a scar on his face, was twitching, clearly not happy either.

It was Wang Ai, the head of the Wang family, and Lü Ci, the head of the Lü family!

These two "Ten Elders" have been thoroughly tormented by Zhang Tianyi lately.

Not only did he become the scapegoat in front of all the heroes of the world, but he also spent a lot of money to give away a bunch of magical artifacts.

They absolutely did not want to come to Longhu Mountain today.

But I can't not come!

The Celestial Master Tian Shu personally sent out invitations. If you dare to pretend to be sick and not come, who knows if that living father will come to your ancestral grave to dance tomorrow?

"Hey! Big fish... cough, our distinguished guest has arrived!"

Zhang Chulan's eyes lit up, and he immediately adjusted his tie, rushing forward as if he were riding on wheels of fire.

"Grandpa Wang! Grandpa Lü! We've been waiting for this moment for ages, and finally these two esteemed figures have arrived!"

Zhang Chulan grabbed Wang Ai's arm, his affectionate gesture making it seem like he was his grandfather.

Wang Ai pulled her arm away in disgust and snorted coldly:

"Zhang Chulan, stop trying to get close to me. Where's your advisor?"

"My advisor is busy setting up the venue up on the mountain. He specifically instructed that Elder Wang and Elder Lü are the closest confidants of our Celestial Master's Mansion."

My ally has instructed me to give these two men the utmost respect at this mountain gate!

As Zhang Chulan spoke, he led the two to the long red silk table.

He picked up a calligraphy brush, dipped it in ink, and looked at the two elders with anticipation.

"Gentlemen, according to the procedure, we need to register."

Zhang Chulan smacked his lips and deliberately raised his voice a little:

"Just now, Chairman Feng of the World Society presented a two-meter-tall pure gold statue of the Three Pure Ones, along with three thousand-year-old wild ginseng roots."

"Wow, Chairman Feng's vision is truly awe-inspiring to us younger generation."

Upon hearing this, other martial arts practitioners from various sects who were passing by slowed down and pricked up their ears to listen to the gossip.

Wang Ai and Lü Ci's faces instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

That little bastard!

This is blatant robbery!

Feng Zhenghao gave so much, and you pointed it out in front of so many people. If we gave less, wouldn't we lose face?!

Are the four great families really inferior to the World Society?!

Lu Ci gritted his teeth, took out an exquisite mutton-fat jade box from his bosom, and slammed it on the table with a bang.

"The Lü family has a whole bottle of top-grade Marrow Cleansing Pills! Plus a fragment of a genuine Song Dynasty Taoist text!"

Not to be outdone, Wang Ai, with a dark expression, ordered the bodyguard behind her to hand over a long wooden box.

"The Wang family possesses a piece of a century-old lightning-struck wood core and a tendon from a dragon from the East China Sea!"

As soon as these items were taken out, a collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the crowd.

These are all rare items that you can't buy with money on the market!

"oops!"

Zhang Chulan quickly lowered his head, his pen flying across the ledger, drool almost dripping onto the paper.

He looked up at the two old men, his face full of emotion, his voice trembling:

"These two old gentlemen truly deserve to be called the pillars of the superhuman world! Such generosity, such grandeur!"

"Rest assured, both of you. Once we get up the mountain, I will make sure to display these two gifts in the most prominent position. Let my advisor see for himself the sincerity of both your families!"

"I guarantee that if my advisor is happy, he'll visit your house every holiday from now on!"

"No need!!!"

Wang Ai and Lü Ci shouted in unison, startling them so much that their beards flew up.

Let that living devil come visit us at home?

What's the difference between that and letting a wolf into the house?!

"The gifts have been delivered; we'll go up the mountain ourselves."

Wang Ai didn't want to stay there for even a second longer. Leaning on her crutch, she angrily led the group up the mountain.

Looking at the furious backs of the two elders.

Wang Ye leaned against a pillar and gave Zhang Chulan a thumbs up:

"Old Zhang, you've really mastered the idiom 'the fox borrows the tiger's might.' Aren't you afraid they'll put a sack over your head in the middle of the night?"

Zhang Chulan closed the ledger and patted his chest with a smug look on his face:
