Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 32 Fuyao Sect

The Fuyao Sect is located among the mountains, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

There are five peaks inside the gate, namely Qingluo Peak, Baishi Peak, Yunxia Peak, Wangji Peak and Youxi Peak.

Among them, Qingluo Peak is the main peak, where the sect's main hall, meeting hall, lecture hall, etc. are all set up, as well as a gate with the word "Xiao Yao" engraved on it as a plaque.

Outside the gate, there is a winding stone staircase leading directly to the entrance at the foot of the mountain. On both sides of the road, there are tall pines and cypresses with mottled shadows. It is said that there is a sect protection formation that will be deployed automatically when encountering danger.

Yun Yi followed Brother Xun Ziyu and his sister all the way up the mountain. Qi Ling'er kept chattering in his ears, and it was obvious that she liked this new "little brother" very much.

Xun Ziyu was in a much heavier mood. He first reported to the gatekeeper disciple, then asked his junior sister to take Yun Yi to wait outside the sect hall for a while, while he went to report the news of Sang Jing's death and the unusual movement of the earth veins.

While chatting with Qi Ling'er, Yun Yi took in the layout of Qingluo Peak. The building high above was naturally the sect's main hall, the core area where the sect leader usually sat in charge of the Fuyao Sect.

Outside the hall is an open square with a martial arts training ground. Many disciples are meditating or practicing their own magic weapons. The air is turbulent, but it is blocked by an invisible barrier.

The current leader of the Fuyao Sect is named Daocheng. He has cultivated for hundreds of years to the Hedao realm and is said to be just one step away from the Ascension realm. However, the steps to becoming an immortal are arduous, and this final step may take thousands of years, or even be impossible to achieve until one's energy is exhausted.

After all, talent and opportunity are both indispensable in spiritual practice. Even a gifted person like Song Xinci would probably have to waste many years in the Hedao realm.

The righteous sects of cultivating immortals are all different. The Fuyao Sect is the most free and easy one among them, which is also one of the reasons why Yun Yi was interested in becoming a disciple here.

Daocheng is a good-natured person. He treats disciples in the sect very kindly. He practices in the sect hall all day long. Occasionally, when he is in a good mood, he will give guidance to disciples in the martial arts training ground outside the hall.

Other sects would not have such treatment. Those in the Spirit Transformation Realm would teach those in the Qi Refining Realm, and those in the Return to Void Realm would teach those in the Spirit Transformation Realm. It would be extremely difficult for a disciple in the Qi Refining Realm to meet the sect leader.

After waiting for about an incense stick of time, Xun Ziyu finally explained today's experience to the headmaster, and then invited Yun Yi and Qi Ling'er outside into the hall.

Daocheng had snow-white hair and wore an indigo Taoist robe. He had a kind face and did not act like a leader at all.

Qi Ling'er saluted and said, "Greetings, Sect Leader."

Yun Yi also bowed and said, "My name is Yun Yi, and I'm honored to meet the Sect Master."

Daocheng had already taken the shriveled finger out of the divine pen, gently placed it in mid-air, and wrapped it with a secret method to prevent the poisonous gas on it from spreading.

He said, "Xun Ziyu told me about you and wanted to thank you for returning Sang Jing's relics. But I have a question. The sword on your back... doesn't seem to be sharpened yet?"

"Exactly."

"This sword looks familiar. Do you have any connection with Nangong Feitian?"

"I was fortunate enough to visit a place called Feitian Secret Realm and was lucky enough to inherit some of Senior Nangong's teachings."

"I see. No wonder you are so full of righteousness." Dao Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "In that case, since you have made great contributions in protecting the earth veins and killing the evildoers, you don't have to go through the trials of the three disasters and five calamities to become my disciple. Go to the Sword Pavilion to practice in the future."

Qi Ling'er blinked excitedly, and Xun Ziyu also smiled when he heard it.

Yun Yi naturally understood Dao Cheng's meaning and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to him: "Thank you, Master."

Then a gentle force lifted Yun Yi up, and Dao Cheng continued, "I'll have Xun Ziyu explain the sect's rules to you later. For now, I want to hear your opinion on the earth vein issue."

Yun Yi replied, "Actually, I also experienced a rare storm in the northwest desert. Thinking about it carefully, the scale of the storm was quite terrifying, and it's probably related to the abnormal movement of the earth veins. The person who destroyed the earth veins today acted and dressed like a member of the Demon Sect, so I think the abnormal movement of the earth veins is no small matter. It may be someone deliberately doing it in secret."

Daocheng asked again: "Do you know the origin of this finger?"

"Disciple, I don't know." "This is the corpse of Master Wandu, the former leader of the Demonic Sect's Ten Thousand Poisons Cult. Unexpectedly, after his death, his body was refined into a poison that polluted the earth veins."

Yun Yi had heard of the name of Master Wandu, who was once a master of the Hedao realm of the Demon Sect and died in the last war between good and evil. It was said that he had poisoned tens of thousands of righteous disciples by himself. His poison skills were unparalleled in the world, and he was not only good at poisoning, but also proficient in various other insidious tricks.

Daocheng warned, "If you encounter a similar situation next time, remember to seek help from the sect immediately and do not act rashly. This finger is extremely poisonous. Fortunately, Xun Ziyu contained it with the Divine Messenger Pen. If you two had touched it with your flesh, you would probably be dead by now."

After saying this, he frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "The question is, why did the people from the Demon Sect choose to destroy Cuiwei Mountain? Logically speaking, the spiritual energy there is thin, and there is nothing special about it."

Yun Yi said, "I think we should send more people to check the earth veins near our sect. Perhaps similar things have happened."

"That makes sense, but you youngsters won't have to worry about what happens next. You should focus on your training and strive to quickly refine your Qi and return to the spirit realm."

After saying that, Daocheng waved his hand, signaling the three to leave.

After leaving the hall, Qi Ling'er patted Yun Yi on the shoulder and said happily, "Should I call you Brother Yun now, or Junior Brother?"

Yun Yi smiled and said, "Whatever makes you happy."

Xun Ziyu took the initiative to explain the rules and regulations of the Fuyao Sect. As everyone knows, the main areas here are the Book Pavilion, the Sword Pavilion, and the Alchemy Pavilion. The Book Pavilion is located on Wangji Peak, the Alchemy Pavilion is located on Yunxia Peak, and the Sword Pavilion is located on Baishi Peak.

There are poems:
Pushing aside the rustling green vine tent, I found the shining white stone stairs.

He went even deeper into the clouds, forgot all about his world and lived in seclusion for several days.

However, unlike other sects, the disciples of the three pavilions did not live on their own peaks, but lived together on Youxi Peak. This was done to facilitate management and to facilitate communication among the disciples, thus preventing the three pavilions from establishing their own peaks and causing trouble.

The most respected person in Fuyao Sect is the Sect Leader, followed by the three great elders, and then there are the six elders of Youxi Peak.

These six elders are responsible for teaching and educating. The best disciples among them will be promoted to the three pavilions to become core disciples and will be taught by the great elders.

Xun Ziyu and Qi Ling'er both had the same master, Qingwei. Sang Jing was once a disciple of Qingwei before being spotted by the Grand Elder of the Book Pavilion and taken to Wangji Peak for training.

Yun Yi happened to be assigned to Qingwei.

In this case, the three of them will be fellow brothers and sisters in the future. No wonder Qi Ling'er is so happy.

She has been a disciple for the shortest time and has the lowest seniority. Now that she finally has a junior fellow apprentice, she is naturally very excited.

Of course, in addition to the five main peaks, the Fuyao Sect also has countless other mountains and peaks, as well as secret cultivation sites. Whether you are in the Qi Refining Realm or the Hedao Realm, you can find cultivation resources that match your realm here.

Qi Ling'er said, "It's getting late today. Let's go back to Youxi Peak first and see Master first."

Xun Ziyu nodded and said, "Alright, I'll take you to Jiange for training tomorrow. I think Baishifeng will be very suitable for Junior Brother Yun."

After saying this, the brother and sister suddenly laughed.

Yun Yi was confused. "What are you two laughing at?"

"Junior brother, you may not know that recently the disciples of the Sword Pavilion have been arguing endlessly over the question of 'what shape a sword should be'. I think your big piece of iron will probably stir up another bloody storm."

"Hehe, there's something exciting to watch again."
