Uncle Nine: I became Master Qianhe, and my fame resounded throughout the Daoist sect.

Chapter 363 The Arrow That Wanted to Defend

"Elder Mao, you really don't need to address me like that." Qianhe smiled and waved her hand gently, indicating that it was unnecessary.

Although he is strong, Mao Chunhua treats him well, so there's no need for him to put on airs.

However, Mao Chunhua shook her head firmly and said sincerely, "The sect leader is the sect leader, and the position is rightfully yours. Only after we choose an auspicious day to hold a formal succession ceremony will everything be settled."

Seeing that Mao Chunhua was adamant, Qianhe knew that further refusals would be futile, so he said nothing more.

Choosing an auspicious day was naturally their job; he just had to follow their instructions.

At this moment, the Supreme Elder, who had been silent all along, slowly spoke up and explained: "This jade pendant is no ordinary item. It is not only a symbol of our Maoshan Sect's leader, but also a priceless treasure passed down through generations of leaders. Only the one who possesses this jade pendant can truly be called the leader of the Maoshan lineage."

Upon hearing the Supreme Elder's words, Qianhe gazed at the jade pendant in her hand once more, her mind filled with countless thoughts, and she fell into deep contemplation...

This jade pendant is a mesmerizing emerald green, like a clear lake, crystal clear and warm to the touch, radiating a soft yet bright luster, as if it contains endless vitality and mysterious, unpredictable power.

The front of the jade pendant is meticulously carved with the unique iconic pattern of the Maoshan School. The lines of the pattern are smooth and lifelike, as if the creatures are alive.

Moreover, this jade pendant is engraved with a small yet exquisite Bagua diagram.

The yin and yang fish intertwine and depend on each other for survival, perfectly illustrating the subtle harmonious relationship and the eternal law of balance among all things in the universe.

The Bagua diagram is surrounded by densely packed, fine runes. These runes are talismans that have been painstakingly created by successive leaders of the Maoshan Sect, and they possess miraculous effects such as warding off evil spirits, suppressing malevolent energy, and driving away evil ghosts.

"Yes, Supreme Elder." Qianhe nodded respectfully and then carefully put away the incomparably precious jade pendant.

At the same time, his gaze was drawn to two martial arts manuals placed to the side.

On the covers of the two manuals were written large characters in a flamboyant style: "Lightning Thunder Fist" and "Wooden Pole Great Method".

.............................

“These two techniques have always been only practiced by the head of Maoshan Sect and the eldest disciple. Now that you are the head of the sect, you are qualified to learn them!” the Supreme Elder said earnestly.

"Thank you, Supreme Elder!" Qianhe nodded solemnly again, pondering to herself.

Although he had already mastered the more powerful Heavenly Thunder Transformation Hand, if he could integrate it with the Lightning Thunder Fist, he might be able to create an even more powerful technique.

"Should it be called Lightning Transformation Hand, Thunder Transformation Hand, or Radiant Thunder Fist?"

Thinking of this, Chizuru couldn't help but feel filled with anticipation for the future.

However, he wasn't good at naming things, so he didn't think much of it.

Instead, he put the technique into his system inventory, intending to learn it later.

"I have carefully calculated the date, and seven days from now will be an auspicious day. At that time, I can officially inherit the position of sect leader and announce this grand event to the entire Taoist community!" At this moment, Mao Chunhua spoke again.

"Alright, I'll follow your arrangements, Elder!" Qianhe nodded.

These things still need to be arranged by them.

"Excellent!" Mao Chunhua nodded with a smile of satisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, Qianhe, Uncle Jiu, and the others stepped out of the magnificent hall.

He went outside the hall to chat with his fellow Maoshan disciples.

However, after everyone left, Mao Jian, who had been silent all along, suddenly stood up. He stared at the Supreme Elder with a gloomy expression, his eyes flashing with dissatisfaction and anger.

"Elder, what exactly is the meaning of your actions?" Mao Jian asked through gritted teeth.

With a sharp "smack," the Supreme Elder raised his hand without hesitation and slapped Mao Jian hard across the face.

"You fool, you are utterly confused! Qianhe is extremely important to our sect. Do I really need to waste my breath explaining this to you? Your actions are far too reckless and impulsive!"

"I......"

"What do you mean, 'you'? Even if you complain to your grandmaster or the patriarch, you still won't be in the right!" The Supreme Elder rebuked him coldly with a stern face.

“But…” Mao Jian covered his slapped cheek, feeling resentful, but still tried to argue his case.
