Chapter 71: Conferring the title of Island Master
Zhang Qian narrowed his eyes and was extremely surprised.

"Curse? This is a bit difficult to deal with. This Meng Lingsu is hanging out with Ye Lingxiao. Isn't it that they will deal with me sooner or later?"

Just as he was thinking about it, the void shook, and an inexplicable ominous aura suddenly appeared and was about to fall down.

"Humph!"

Sensing this ominous aura, Li Qingque let out a cold voice, and a vast bright moon image rose from behind him. The bright lunar divine light spread out, directly dispersing the ominous aura.

"It seems that Meng Lingsu already hates you."

Zhang Qian looked solemn. He knew that Meng Lingsu was now keeping an eye on him, otherwise this ominous aura would not have suddenly appeared.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I have used my mind power to disperse this ominous aura before. She almost managed to deal with me."

Li Qingque shook his head: "Don't take it lightly. You are prepared now so you won't be tricked. But what if you fall asleep, or if you are at the critical moment of a breakthrough in your cultivation, and suddenly an ominous aura comes? What should you do?"

Zhang Qian sat up suddenly, his face somewhat gloomy: "It is true, I can't be on guard all the time."

Li Qingque smiled slightly: "You don't have to worry too much. When the Supreme Master appoints you as the deputy island master of the Demon Refining Island tomorrow, a certain amount of luck will naturally descend upon you. Although our Demon Refining Island has fallen, the foundation is still there, and the power of luck is not small, enough to protect you from being troubled by the ominous energy. However, if Meng Lingsu's cultivation level breaks through and he can cast a curse, this amount of luck will not be able to protect you."

"Luck?"

Zhang Qian rolled his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about. He breathed a sigh of relief, and the worry in his heart disappeared.

That night, Zhang Qian hardly slept at all. The ominous aura kept hovering over his head. Zhang Qian could only repeatedly use his mind to shake it away. He heard hoarse cries of pain several times. It was obvious that his rough way of shaking away the ominous aura made Meng Lingsu on the other side feel extremely uncomfortable.

Finally it was dawn, and Zhang Qian hurriedly got up to look for Li Qingque.

This day could be considered a bad omen. The ominous aura had been circling over Zhang Qian's head and had targeted him.

When Li Qingque manifested the sword rainbow and brought Zhang Qian to the sect's main hall, Zhang Qian suddenly felt a broad and powerful force spreading out from the sect's main hall, which directly dispelled the ominous aura above his head.

“Is this the power of luck?”

As the most precious treasure of the Sword Gourd Palace, the sect's main hall itself contains a strong force of luck, so it is easy to dispel the ominous aura.

Entering the sect's main hall, Li Qingcheng and a group of elders were already seated.

"Greetings to the Supreme Master!"

Zhang Qian bowed, and before Li Qingcheng could speak, Li Qingque suddenly said, "Master, last night Ye Lingxiao took advantage of my absence and suddenly attacked the Demon Refining Island, provoking Zhang Qian for no reason. If Zhang Qian hadn't had some tricks up his sleeve, he might have died at the hands of Ye Lingxiao. Many disciples have died at the hands of Ye Lingxiao over the years, but the master has never really punished him. He has repeatedly violated the rules of the sect, but has not received much punishment. Please, Master, do us justice!"

Li Qingcheng frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and looked at the elders of the sects on both sides.

What was strange was that each of the elders turned their heads away without any response.

"Qingque, you also know that Ye Lingxiao has the Seven Killing Spirits, and his murderous intent is hard to control. Over the years, I have been asking him to subdue his murderous intent and cultivate his character, but unfortunately the effect is not great. I have other plans for him. Besides, Zhang Qian was not considered a disciple of my Sword Gourd Palace last night. To be honest, Ye Lingxiao did not violate the sect rules. Let's just leave it at that."

“Master…!”

Li Qingque became anxious and immediately felt angry.

Zhang Qian seemed to be thinking about something. He had never expected that Li Qingcheng would be so partial to Ye Lingxiao. In his opinion, since his senior sister had complained in public, Li Qingcheng, as the sect leader, would at least pretend to do something.

Who would have thought that Li Qingcheng would just let it go. "Zhang Qian, you're not injured either. Don't worry too much about Ye Lingxiao's matter. I have my own ideas."

Hearing this, Zhang Qian narrowed his eyes and replied calmly: "Forget it, I haven't suffered any loss anyway."

"That's good if you think so."

How could he just let it go? Right now, Li Qingcheng clearly wanted to protect Ye Lingxiao, so Zhang Qian could only find another opportunity to take revenge.

"Is Ye Lingxiao very important to Jianhu Palace? Why does the Sect Master protect him so much?"

Just when Zhang Qian was puzzled, Li Qingcheng coughed dryly, suddenly stood up, and a dignified look appeared on her beautiful face.

"Zhang Qian, come forward."

When Zhang Qian took a few steps forward, a bright yellow jade token appeared in Li Qingcheng's hand.

"Take the token, and you will be the deputy island master of the Demon Refining Island. You must take on the responsibility of revitalizing the Demon Refining Island. You must not have any other thoughts in your mind. You must focus on protecting my Sword Gourd Palace, caring for your fellow disciples, and punishing evildoers. Can you do it?"

Zhang Qian replied expressionlessly: "Of course!"

"very good!"

A token emitting spiritual light appeared in Li Qingcheng's hand.

When Zhang Qian stretched out his hands to take the token, he instantly felt a vast, strong, and reassuring power descending upon him. This power was invisible, but could be felt through reality.

Under the cover of this power, Zhang Qian felt warm in his heart, and even his strong mind became more lively and agile.

“Is this the power of destiny?”

This was the first time that Zhang Qian had sensed the power of luck so clearly in his past life. In his previous life in the wild world, he had no luck at all. If he had luck, he would not have been so unlucky as to be blown to death by Luohou.

hum!
At this moment, the broken jade deep in his soul suddenly moved. A golden pagoda surrounded by auspicious light shook in the broken jade. Zhang Qian thought that he could obtain another supreme magical power.

However, this golden pagoda shook for a while and then became silent.

"What's going on? Is it because the power of luck is not enough?"

Zhang Qian was extremely envious of the golden pagoda just now, but unfortunately the pagoda only moved for a moment and then calmed down. Perhaps the power of luck was too little to make the pagoda appear.

Li Qingcheng saw the pity in Zhang Qian's eyes and thought that Zhang Qian looked down on the token. He smiled and said, "Zhang Qian, I once promised you that if you could get through Shangyuan Bajing Palace, I would train you as the core disciple of the sect and grant you many privileges. I will certainly not forget it, Elder Guan!"

After giving the order, Guan Zhongxuan, with a gloomy face, came over holding a lot of things.

Zhang Qian took a closer look and found that it was a snow-white robe with black and gold Taoist patterns embroidered on the cuffs and collar. The robe also came with a crown, belt, and shoes, as if the entire robe was a complete magical instrument.

There was a faintly transparent magic sword on the robe, which seemed to be made of crystal. With a quick glance, Zhang Qian discovered that there were ten prohibitions in the sword. It was considered a top-grade magic weapon and was rare.

In addition to these two treasures, there are also several jade bottles. A faint fragrance emanates from the jade bottles, and it is obvious that the bottles are full of elixirs.

Next to the jade bottle was a crystal stone that was translucent and full of spiritual energy. Zhang Qian was surprised to find that this crystal stone actually contained acquired spiritual energy!
