The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 102 Choice
Ji Xiaoshan smiled and led the sloppy master and Wan Nianfeng to the lake.

Under the shade of the trees, two tables were placed on an open space as Ji Xiaoshan waved his hand. Water, wine, and food were all available.

Ji Xiaoshan smiled and looked at Master Sloppy and said, "Ji Ning just got the recognition of Master Diancai today, and is now qualified to venture out. And he just happened to hear that my brother had returned to the academy, so he came directly to my cave. The timing of Brother Sloppy and Brother Minghong's arrival is extremely coincidental."

"Hmm. Just now I was wondering if I disturbed you and Junior Brother Bei Ming from reminiscing about the past. After all, as long as there is plenty of good wine and good meat, Junior Brother Ming Hong and I can do whatever we want." Sloppy Master just mentioned it casually. He and Wan Nian Feng knew that Ji Xiaoshan and Ji Ning were from the same family as the Yanshan Ji Clan. Then he smiled and grabbed the wine glass on the table and drank it directly.

"Tsk! Junior Brother Qingping, your wine is really good!"

"Brother Sloppy, please drink more if you like. I, your junior brother, have made a promise that you will have enough wine, meat and food." Ji Xiaoshan responded with a smile, and then poured water and wine for the people present.

……

"Junior Brother Qingping, you have become famous this time. You have killed a perfect Yuanshen with the realm of Wanxiang Zhenren. You are famous in Anchan County." Everyone was drinking wine and talking. Sloppy Zhenren looked at Ji Xiaoshan with a smile, "You are so powerful, Junior Brother must have understood one or more ways!"

"Comprehend one path?" Ji Ning on the side was also surprised after hearing this. Although he has comprehended several paths and even mastered the Rain Water Realm, he is still a long way from completely mastering one path.

"Haha, I knew I couldn't hide it from Senior Brother Sloppy. When I was in the North Sea, I had already mastered the art of flowing water." Ji Xiaoshan responded while drinking wine.

"Sure enough. Anyone who can completely master one Dao in just ten or twenty years at the level of all things, unless he is a reincarnated immortal, must have extremely extraordinary talent. After all, most reincarnated immortals have basically comprehended one Dao before reincarnation, and the stronger ones even comprehend multiple Daos. After reincarnation, they awaken their memories of their past lives, and recall all the Daos they comprehended in their past lives. After accumulating for several lifetimes, their understanding of Dao is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary geniuses. Qingping, have you awakened the memory of your practice in your past life?" The sloppy immortal showed a curious look. As far as he knew, this junior brother Qingping did not behave like a reincarnated immortal.

"Cultivation memory? That's not the case. I shouldn't be a reincarnated immortal." Ji Xiaoshan shook his head. He was an ordinary person on Earth in his previous life. He didn't know why he came to this world of Manghuang Ji. He remembered it very clearly, so he was naturally not a reincarnated immortal.

"The reincarnated immortal is only stronger in the Wanxiang and Yuanshen realms, so he has some advantages. But he failed to survive the heavenly tribulation in his previous life. Even if he lives another life, it will be more difficult to survive the heavenly tribulation without a great opportunity." Wan Nianfeng also looked at Ji Xiaoshan and shook his head, "But Qingping should not be a reincarnated immortal. If you have only understood the way of flowing water, it will be difficult for you to kill Taoist Xueyu in a moment."

He took a bite of the spiritual fruit on the table, swallowed it, and then said, "Before Qing Ping, I also fought with the Taoist Xue Yu. Over the years, I barely understood a path of Qingfeng, but I could only fight with him for a while. He is a cultivator with perfect soul after all. It is difficult to kill him in a moment just by understanding a path."

When Wan Nianfeng was fighting with Taoist Xueyu, those heavenly grade magic weapons were a bit difficult to deal with. He also realized a way and even had the divine and demonic body training, and with the blessing of the great way of the sword, he could only barely fight him on equal terms. It was not easy to kill him.

"Junior Brother Minghong's words make sense." Sloppy Master also nodded. As one of the strongest disciples of the three generations of the Black and White Academy, he had fought with Yuanshen Taoists when he was out there, and even killed some of them. But it was precisely because he understood the difficulty that he could truly feel Ji Xiaoshan's power.

"I guess Junior Brother Qingping must have a deep understanding of the way of the sword, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to kill a perfect Yuanshen easily. Not to mention the use of magical powers. With his sleeves flying, he was like a real god or devil in the world. With just three sleeves, he directly smashed the protective formation of the Snow Dragon Mountain. That is not something that an ordinary Wanxiang Zhenren can do. I heard that the disciples in the Snow Dragon Mountain that day, and even the Taoist Hanyang who was in the late Yuanshen stage, thought that they could rely on the formation to protect his disciples. But in the blink of an eye, the formation was directly shattered before their eyes, and they were all shocked."

"Hahaha." Ji Xiaoshan and others burst into laughter when they heard the description of Sloppy Master.

"Senior Brother Sloppy is really good at talking!" Ji Xiaoshan smiled and shook his head.

Ji Ning looked at the young man in green robes in the center of the crowd, thinking to himself. "Hmm. Even the Taoist Primordial Spirit was shocked? Although Senior Brother Sloppy's words were a bit exaggerated, they were generally true. My brother is so strong, I believe he must have used a very powerful magical power. If I were at my brother's level, I could practice the Star-Picking Hand to the second level. The Star-Picking Hand is ranked among the top ten great magical powers in the Three Realms, so it must not be much weaker than my brother's. When I go back, I will ask Senior Daxiong. A magical power that can smash the sect's formation with a sleeve must not be unknown. Senior Daxiong is knowledgeable and should know about it."

……

Everyone was drinking and chatting.

"Today, I still remember that a few years ago, Junior Brother Bei Ming also participated in the new disciples' discussion in the Discussion Hall. During that battle, I thought of Junior Brother Qing Ping. They both comprehended the way of the sword, defeated many fellow disciples, and became famous in one battle." Sloppy Master said with emotion, "Your Ji family has produced two sword immortals in a row. I'm sure those sects outside are jealous of you." Wan Nian Feng also teased, "Qing Ping, you were still in the Bei Ming Sea at that time, so you didn't have the chance to see it. But I saw Junior Brother Bei Ming's discussion with my own eyes, and he was slightly stronger than you at the beginning."

"Senior Brother Sloppy, Senior Brother Minghong, weren't we talking about how my brother single-handedly frightened all the disciples of Snow Dragon Mountain? Why are you bringing this up with me now?" Ji Ning said helplessly.

"Speaking of this, Senior Brother Sloppy, Minghong, are you ready to participate in the Immortal Fate Conference more than ten years later?" Ji Xiaoshan asked. He wanted to take this opportunity to talk about this. This Immortal Fate Conference is a place where countless fortunes gather, and countless talented disciples participate, all for the purpose of transforming into dragons and soaring into the sky when the wind and clouds gather.

"Immortal Fate Conference?" Sloppy Master was stunned, then asked in confusion, "I didn't intend to participate, but why do I feel like there is something guiding me to attend this Immortal Fate Conference when you mention it? But this Immortal Fate Conference is held every 300 years, which is already very frequent, and it's nothing special."

Wan Nianfeng listened with a burning gaze, "I will definitely go to this Immortal Fate Conference. It is also a grand event in the Great Xia world. By fighting with many talented disciples, I can know what level I am at. Fighting against higher-level disciples is nothing. I only killed some ordinary Yuanshen Taoists. If I can stand out among countless geniuses, I will be considered truly powerful."

"Minghong's fighting spirit..." Ji Xiaoshan was secretly shocked when he heard Wan Nianfeng's words. This was the fighting spirit that a powerful cultivator should have.

……

On Ji Xiaoshan's Free and Easy Peak, the disciples of the Black and White Academy who got the news arrived one by one, either alone or in groups of three or four, making his lakeside cottage quite lively. As some disciples left, naturally more disciples came.

More than a month passed before the hustle and bustle of people finally stopped.

“The last time my Xiaoyao Zizai Peak was so lively was after the battle between the new disciples.” Ji Xiaoshan sat cross-legged on the white jade bed in the quiet room, shook his head, and then chuckled.

"Now I have time to take out some of the secret techniques that are not available in the academy and exchange them for those books on soul secret techniques. My second soul's means of fighting are a bit simple. Now my consciousness can be projected 1,500 miles away, which is considered good among earthly immortals. If I can use soul secret techniques and swordsmanship together..."

“Moreover, among the several books of magical powers in the academy, I have already learned Law of Heaven and Earth and Three Heads and Six Arms. Ten Thousand Poison Stings is extremely troublesome. After practicing it with great effort, I will have to abandon it in the future for the perfection of my divine body. I can practice the Brilliant Heart Eye and the Thunder Eye. The few magical powers I have now are enough. If there is a magical power similar to the Eight-Nine Profound Art, I can learn it and increase my life-saving ability.” Ji Xiaoshan secretly calculated in his heart.

The Black and White Academy had accumulated magical powers for countless years, and there were only five books in total, namely "Law of Heaven and Earth", "Three Heads and Six Arms", "Thunder and Lightning Divine Eyes", "Ten Thousand Poisons", and "Brilliant Heart Eyes". Now Ji Xiaoshan was willing to replace only those few books, so naturally he had to learn everything he could.

After all, the Immortal Fate Conference only lasts for more than ten years. If you don't seize the time to become stronger, you won't have such a good opportunity next time. If you perform better, at least you can become a disciple of a celestial being. Ji Xiaoshan has higher requirements for himself.

"If you want to become a disciple of those powerful people, you should naturally try your best to become a better disciple..."

“But the body protection magic power is not available in the academy. The closest one is the Five Thunder Diamond in Wujiang Immortal Mansion. That is the magic power of the magical power of the six-foot golden body, but it cannot be obtained at the moment without the key of the immortal mansion in Shao Yannong’s hand. Now the way for this body and the second soul to increase their strength as quickly as possible is to practice the secret art of divine thoughts and the Red Bright Nine Heavens Diagram. After all these years of practice, my Red Bright Nine Heavens Diagram is only at the eleventh level. If I want to practice to the twelfth level of the perfect level of all things, it will take some time.”

Ji Xiaoshan was confused and thought to himself that even though his original body and his second soul were now as powerful as those of earthly immortals, he still needed to seize every opportunity to become stronger.

"The clan also needs to go to Tianbao Mountain to buy some puppets to protect Daozang..."

"Then let's go and exchange the Divine Soul Secret Techniques first! I want all three of those secret techniques!"

Speechless. I was suddenly notified of a meeting at 2pm. After the meeting, I had to go to check and didn’t return until 7:30pm! Speechless! Speechless!
The update may be late tomorrow because my friend’s mother passed away and I have already taken leave to go there.
