Chapter 135 Your disciple... his strength is terrifying.
"Calm your mind and clear your thoughts!"
"When drawing your sword, be quick, accurate, and steady!"
"Don't let your hands shake, and keep your back straight!"
Sword Sect, Qingyang Peak.
This is where outer disciples cultivate.
Although everyone here is an outer disciple.
However, depending on their status, they are located in different areas.
In some areas.
The spiritual energy is relatively thin, and the work isn't very good either. Taming beasts and forging iron are dangerous, don't offer much reward, and the cultivation speed is slow.
Most of the people living in these areas have no background and little talent.
They did all the dirty and tiring work, which was a little easier than the menial tasks of the disciples, but not much better.
In some places, the spiritual energy is relatively strong, and not only is the work easy, but there's also money to be made.
For example, weeding, tending the fields, and picking fruit.
This is not guarding ordinary crops, but rather the medicinal herbs that Dantang has planted here.
Although it can't be considered a spiritual object, the spiritual energy in this place will be much denser after spiritual materials are added.
Normally, all you need to do is weed and chase away any small animals that accidentally wander into the area.
There is plenty of time for cultivation.
Xiao Xiao was assigned here to weed.
The work is easy, and I have plenty of time to practice every day.
Having entered the sect not long ago, he is already at the ninth level of Body Tempering.
Only one step is needed to reach the Qi Refining stage.
The reason for such a rapid breakthrough, besides the easy work and abundant spiritual energy, is that...
And then...
There was an older sister who often came to guide my spiritual practice.
Moreover, he would occasionally bring himself medicinal pills.
Xiao Xiao was curious about who she was, but she only said that she was a junior disciple of the Pill Hall.
It's not worth worrying about.
Xiao Xiao was curious as to why she was so kind to her.
She said she had once made a promise to someone to take care of her.
"Let's stop cultivating here for today. Within ten days, you should be able to enter the Qi Refining stage. Once you reach the Qi Refining stage, you can begin to study alchemy."
"The art of alchemy!" Xiao Xiao exclaimed in delight.
Having been in the sect for so long, she naturally knew what this meant.
The Art of Resting the Elixir! Become an Alchemist!
A noble and revered alchemist!
In this way, I'll be useful!
Then I can refine pills for those two senior brothers! Then I can repay their kindness!
Xiao Xiao was overjoyed.
Without even putting down the sword in his hand, he hurriedly knelt down.
"Thank you, Senior Sister!"
Just as he was about to kowtow, he found himself being lifted up by an invisible, gentle force.
The senior sister had a gentle expression and gently stroked her hair.
"It doesn't have to be this way."
"what…"
"I said I would take care of you, and I will. That's my promise."
Xiao Xiao stared at her blankly.
I just feel lost.
I am alone and helpless in this sect.
The only two immortals he knew, his two senior brothers, were actually not really related to him.
They were kind-hearted, which is why they were willing to save me.
So now, who made this senior sister make that promise?
still…
Was this also due to the care of those two senior brothers?
They asked someone to take care of them?
Xiao Xiao didn't know that the senior sister in front of her hadn't said anything the previous few times she had asked her.
She stopped asking after that.
I simply remember the kindness, and when I need it in the future, I will repay it many times over, a hundredfold or a thousandfold.
She remembered all the fairies who had been kind to her.
"Here are these pills for you. Take one a day for the next few days. When you feel your cultivation level loosening, try to break through. It should be in the next few days. You will soon step into the true extraordinary level."
The girl chuckled softly.
For some reason, Xiaoxiao suddenly sensed the sadness in her senior sister's eyes.
A faint sadness.
She wanted to offer comfort, but she knew nothing.
All I could do was nod dumbly.
"Yes, senior sister."
"Alright, go and rest. I... have to go too."
The girl stood up and gazed into the distance.
I don’t know what I’m thinking about.
Xiao Xiao watched her retreating figure as she rode away on her sword, leaving the place.
He bowed respectfully and gratefully.
Afterwards, he continued to practice swordsmanship diligently.
……
……
……
Sword Sect, main peak.
The sect leader squatted there, looking utterly dejected.
"Master, junior sister, you suddenly need so many spirit stones, where am I supposed to get them?"
"Then kill me."
"Look at you, what kind of talk is that?"
Looking at the Immortal Venerable Qingyue in the center of the main hall, the Sect Leader felt a headache coming on.
"No, what do you need so many spirit stones for?"
"My disciple is about to descend the mountain."
"And then what? Didn't she save up a lot herself?"
"What can that little bit do?"
Immortal Venerable Qingyue curled her lips.
With his arms crossed, he said, "A great disaster is coming, and people will suffer. Xiao Qiuyu wants to go find my second disciple and help with disaster relief. We'll definitely be short of spirit stones then."
"A great disaster is imminent..."
The sect leader's somewhat casual expression suddenly turned serious.
Sighed.
The head of Tianji Hall predicted the great calamity that is happening now, ten years ago.
The Ten Thousand Demons Sect, which had been lying dormant for hundreds of years, suddenly rose up.
They stormed into the demon realm with overwhelming force.
Now, they have taken control of a demon-suppressing formation.
Those immortal sects near the border have probably run into trouble.
Moreover, it's a very serious problem.
"The current situation is indeed quite difficult to handle."
"Then give me the spirit stones."
"Oh, junior sister, why are you in such a hurry? I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you." The sect leader said angrily, "I mean, in this situation, there's no good solution."
Simply providing disaster relief won't save the situation.
A few months later, in southern Xinjiang, there was not only severe cold, but also all kinds of killings.
With the approach of winter, the number of disaster victims will be extremely alarming.
"How to deal with the Ten Thousand Demons Sect is what we should be considering."
"Just kill them, that's all."
The sect leader smirked when he heard his junior sister's words.
"Just do it..."
Hehe, hehe…
How could you say something so brainless?
"Isn't that right?" Master Qingyue frowned.
"Of course not. The Ten Thousand Demons Sect... the Corruption Immortal Sect. Our Sword Sect is alright, but the major sects near the border probably have many elders who have already become protectors of the Demon Sect."
He sighed, "These guys are secretly cooperating with the Demonic Sect's protectors; they're really difficult to deal with."
"Difficult to handle? Then don't handle it, just kill them all."
The sect leader's lips twitched.
For a moment, I couldn't tell if my junior sister was joking or serious.
Kill them all?
Crazy?
That would be practically making an enemy of the entire cultivation world.
"Actually, it would be best to send someone infiltrate to investigate the situation. If they can become an elder, that would be even better. On the one hand, they can investigate the situation of the other elders, and on the other hand, after demonstrating their strong talent, they can also make contact with the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. This would be a win-win situation, making it easier to coordinate with the outside world to wipe out all the demonic cultivators in the future."
Sending an elder is impossible.
After all, his cultivation level and bone age are what they are.
There was no way to infiltrate.
But it's simpler for disciples.
Young, talented disciples are highly sought after in any sect.
"You can't just talk whenever you want. What's with your eyes constantly darting this way? My disciples on this mountain are all incredibly dull-witted. The eldest is in seclusion, the second is slaying demons in the southern border, the third... forget it, that simpleton could be lured away by a few sweet potatoes. Sending her to infiltrate is nonsense. As for the fourth and fifth..."
Suddenly, Immortal Venerable Qingyue paused for a moment.
He frowned slowly.
"Don't tell me you want...the two of them to go."
The sect leader blushed.
I feel inexplicably embarrassed.
It was as if his own conspiracy had been exposed.
Rubbed his nose.
He smiled awkwardly.
"Junior sister, you are... truly... incredibly clever."
Immortal Venerable Qingyue's expression was grim.
With a thought, the spirit sword shot out.
An icy-colored wave of air filled the entire hall.
The temperature inside the hall suddenly dropped.
"You old codger, why didn't you send your own disciples? Such a dangerous task, and you sent my people? What were you thinking? They've only just joined the sect, their cultivation is weak, they're helpless and pitiful!"
The headmaster became increasingly embarrassed.
Weak cultivation level?
Weak, helpless, and pitiful?
Junior sister, your channels for receiving information are a bit too…
After thinking about it, I understood.
My junior sister, that drunkard, spends most of her time in her cave.
If it weren't for the fact that a disciple who was about to leave the mountain had come to ask him for spirit stones, he would have been in trouble today.
They might not come at all.
Therefore, it is likely that Fu Qiuyu told her master about her disciple's situation.
That being said.
If you know little or learn slowly, then there's no problem.
As for what she said…
Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan…
Weak, helpless, and pitiful...
The sect leader could only say...heh...in a few more years, they might even take me down.
That's pathetic.
He watched his junior sister lose her temper.
I pondered and organized my thoughts.
We also need to wait for Qingyue Zhenren to calm down.
After a long while, he finally spoke.
"Junior sister, you don't know this, but your two disciples... their cultivation talent is... well, it's heaven-defying."
