From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 1 A Born Sword Maniac
"From this day forward, you will be the sect leader of Qingxiao Sect. Take good care of your junior brothers and sisters."

After leaving these words, Lin Xunfeng, the former leader of Qingxiao Sect, left without looking back. With his back to his disciples, his face, which looked to be only in his early thirties, was full of determination.

As Lin Xunfeng walked down the mountain path, his blue robes fluttered in the wind, exuding the air of a chivalrous wanderer.

It was dusk, the sky was ablaze with crimson clouds, and the distant mountain ridges seemed to be covered with streaks of fire, the sunset was poignant and beautiful.

Standing in front of the mountain gate, Li Qingqiu was indignant. He had tried his best to persuade his master, but his master would not listen to his advice and insisted on going down the mountain to seek immortality.

As the eldest disciple of Qingxiao Sect, Li Qingqiu was only sixteen years old, and his six junior brothers and sisters were even younger, the youngest being just over ten years old.

Making him raise his junior brothers and sisters would ruin him.
He also longed to roam the world with a sword and live a carefree life. He had had enough of the leisurely life on the mountain. He even missed the days in his previous life when he would play shooting games at home and then lie on the sofa and watch short videos when he got tired.

"Master, if I destroy Qingxiao Sect, don't blame me!"

Li Qingqiu shouted loudly, his slightly childish voice echoing through the mountains. Lin Xunfeng, who had already reached the edge of the woods, simply waved his hand without turning around.

A small hand reached out from behind, grabbed Li Qingqiu's sleeve, and tugged at it gently. He turned his head and saw his ten-year-old junior sister, Li Sijin, looking at him timidly and asking, "Senior Brother, will you abandon us too?"

Li Qingqiu's anger dissipated instantly. He glanced around and saw that apart from his annoying third junior brother Jiang Zhaoxia, the other five junior brothers and sisters were looking at him nervously or with worry.

He felt a heavy sense of responsibility.

But this isn't the kind of time-traveling life I wanted!
Just then, lines of text suddenly appeared before Li Qingqiu's eyes:

[You have become the leader of a sect for the first time, activating its lineage and beginning the testing of the Qingxiao Sect.]

[Detection successful, assessment of Qingxiao Sect to begin]

[Assessment successful, rank: Unranked]

[Given that this is your first time becoming the leader of a sect, you are granted one opportunity to choose your destiny and one opportunity to inherit the sect's lineage.]

Li Qingqiu was stunned when she saw the prompt in front of her. She thought she was seeing things, but when she rubbed her eyes, the text prompt was still floating in front of her.

He looked at the other disciples, but his junior brothers and sisters seemed not to have noticed.

Is the cheat code about to be activated?
Li Qingqiu's heart raced. He wondered how to temporarily hide these hints, but as soon as he had this thought, the text in front of him disappeared. When he tried to see it again, the hints reappeared before his eyes.

This made him even more certain that he was not hallucinating.

Having lived two lives, Li Qingqiu's temperament was far superior to that of a sixteen-year-old boy. He immediately said, "Those were just angry words I said to Master. Since Master wants to leave, let him go. From now on, we will depend on each other for survival."

Upon hearing this, the junior disciples beamed with joy. They relied on Li Qingqiu more than Lin Xunfeng, because Lin Xunfeng was away most of the time, and Li Qingqiu was in charge of Qingxiao Sect. Apart from the third disciple Jiang Zhaoxia, the other disciples would pester Li Qingqiu.

After being comforted for a while, Li Qingqiu couldn't wait to go back to his room to study the Daoist hints he had just received.

"Yuchun, go cook. Dongyue, watch over Man'er, Sifeng, and Sijin."

After quickly giving instructions, Li Qingqiu turned and went back into the courtyard.

The Qingxiao Sect sounds impressive, but it actually only has eight members. From today onwards, there will only be seven. The sect has only three courtyards: one is where Lin Xunfeng practices martial arts, one is where the disciples live, and the other is used to store miscellaneous items.

As the eldest disciple, Li Qingqiu owns his own house, which makes his junior brothers and sisters very envious.

Li Qingqiu sat on the bed, curious about how to check the lineage of Daoists. At this moment, a panel appeared before his eyes, displaying lines of text:

[Sect: Qingxiao Sect (Name can be changed)]

[Head of the Sect: Li Qingqiu]

Number of disciples (click to view details): 7

[Assessment Level: Inferior (Click to view development details)]

[Protective Array: None]

Guardian Beasts: None

[Number of times you can choose a destiny: 1]

[Number of times you can claim the inheritance reward: 1]

……

Looking at this panel, Li Qingqiu felt like he was playing a game. In his previous life, he enjoyed playing some cultivation mobile games, which sparked his strong interest in the Daoist tradition.

He first thought of checking the number of disciples, and then the panel changed, showing seven avatars, each with a name next to it, including his.

The order of arrangement is exactly according to seniority: Li Qingqiu, Zhang Yuchun, Jiang Zhaoxia, Li Dongyue, Wu Man'er, Li Sifeng, and Li Sijin.

All seven of them were orphans brought up from the foot of the mountain by their master, Lin Xunfeng. Their backgrounds were different, and Lin Xunfeng never talked to them about their origins. However, Li Qingqiu had lived two lives, and he was conscious from birth in this life. He knew what his origins were.

Even after Lin Xunfeng left, he had no intention of looking for his biological parents; in his heart, that family bond had been severed.

Li Qingqiu focused his attention on Zhang Yuchun's profile picture, and then Zhang Yuchun's message popped up:
Name: Zhang Yuchun

【Sex: Male】

[Age: 15 years old]

Loyalty (Leader/Sect Leader): 89/23 (Maximum 100)

[Cultivation Aptitude: Mediocre]

[Comprehension: Good] [Destiny: Comet of Internal Affairs, Patience]

……

Li Qingqiu raised an eyebrow. His second junior brother's loyalty to him was 89, while his loyalty to the Qingxiao Sect was 23.

Doesn't that mean Zhang Yuchun might leave Qingxiao Sect when he grows up?
He then focused his attention on Zhang Yuchun's destiny, and detailed explanations of the "internal affairs comet" and "forbearance" popped up.

The description of the destiny is quite easy to understand. The Comet in domestic affairs indicates that he has wisdom in domestic affairs, and forbearance means that he can endure things.

Li Qingqiu suddenly realized how powerful the Daoist lineage was. Through these attribute panels, he could see the talent, aptitude, and loyalty of each disciple. With the Daoist lineage in place, it would be much easier for him to control people's hearts and cultivate disciples.

He then turned his gaze to his third junior brother, Jiang Zhaoxia.

Jiang Zhaoxia used to be quite clingy to him when she was little, but in the last two years she has become very rebellious and often goes against him, which makes him very unhappy.

However, Li Qingqiu was surprised by Jiang Zhaoxia's loyalty.

Jiang Zhaoxia's loyalty to him reached 96 points, higher than Zhang Yuchun's, while his loyalty to Qingxiao Sect was only 1, meaning he could betray them at any time.

Is this kid crazy?
If you like me so much, why are you always going against me?
Looking further down, Li Qingqiu was pleasantly surprised.

[Cultivation Aptitude: Excellent]

[Comprehension: Exceptional]

[Destiny: Born a sword fanatic, a hidden dragon in the mortal world]

【Born Sword Maniac: A natural-born swordsman with an exceptionally high aptitude for the way of the sword and extremely strong control over the sword】

[Hidden Dragon in the Mortal World: With a troubled past, he can transform into a flying dragon by overcoming his destiny's tribulations, and his fortune will be unstoppable]

Good guy!
so smart?

Li Qingqiu suddenly realized why Jiang Zhaoxia had been displeased with him for the past two years. Two years ago, Lin Xunfeng had given him a precious sword. There were only two swords in the entire Qingxiao Sect. At that time, Jiang Zhaoxia asked for the sword, but he refused.

He refused because he felt that Jiang Zhaoxia was not up to the task, since Jiang Zhaoxia was only a twelve-year-old boy at the time and could easily hurt someone if he had a sharp weapon in his hand.

He was born a sword fanatic, yet he could not obtain the sword. No wonder Jiang Zhaoxia disliked him. If the two were not close, Jiang Zhaoxia would probably have tried every means to get his sword.

Li Qingqiu's dissatisfaction with Jiang Zhaoxia vanished instantly, replaced by pity.

Third junior brother, your senior brother misunderstood you. It's alright. Your senior brother will definitely give you a good sword in the future so that you can contribute to the Qingxiao Sect.

Because of the existence of the orthodox lineage, Li Qingqiu had already positioned himself as the leader of a sect, and he considered problems from a long-term perspective.

He continued to examine the others. Li Dongyue, Wu Man'er, Li Sifeng, and Li Sijin were all quite loyal to him, but Jiang Zhaoxia was still the most loyal. Their aptitude and comprehension were better than Zhang Yuchun's, but not as good as Jiang Zhaoxia's.

In terms of destiny, it is not as brilliant as Jiang Zhaoxia's; only her personality stands out.

Wu Man'er has a good destiny, namely, the strength of a tiger and the body of an elephant. This kid has been strong since he was a child, but unfortunately, he is not mature.

The only person who worries Li Qingqiu is his sixth junior brother, Li Sifeng.

Li Sifeng and his seventh junior sister Li Sijin were brought back by Lin Xunfeng. They are siblings, with Li Sifeng being two years older. They did not originally have the surname Li; it was Lin Xunfeng who made them take the surname Li Qingqiu.

Li Sifeng is only twelve years old now. He is lively and mischievous, and Li Qingqiu likes him very much. She likes to take him along to play with her.

However, Li Sifeng's destiny entry is "ambitious and ruthless."

These two destiny patterns, like their names, easily breed ambition and a never-ending thirst for satisfaction; they will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

If this kid sets his sights on my position as sect leader in the future, won't he turn against me?

Looking at Li Sifeng's loyalty, Li Qingqiu realized she was overthinking things.

Li Sifeng's loyalty to him is 92, but his loyalty to Qingxiao Sect is only 40. He just needs to be more careful in the future.

After reviewing the attribute panels of his junior brothers and sisters, Li Qingqiu felt that Qingxiao Sect had great potential. The only pity was that he could not view his own cultivation aptitude and comprehension.

Jiang Zhaoxia can be trained to be the top enforcer, and Zhang Yuchun can be in charge of management. We'll have both civil and military leaders.

It must be said that Lin Xunfeng was very good at choosing his disciples. He encountered quite a few orphans while traveling the martial arts world, but he only brought back seven of them, which shows that he was selective.

Normally, Lin Xunfeng would teach them some martial arts, but in Li Qingqiu's opinion, those were just amateurish skills.

Li Qingqiu continued to examine the details of the Daoist lineage's development. There was nothing interesting about it; without a doubt, the Qingxiao Sect had no real foundation.

He continued to look down, examining the opportunities he had been given to choose his destiny and to inherit the Taoist tradition.

[Fate Selection: You can choose a fate from among the disciples of the sect and copy it as your own fate]

[Inheritance Rewards: You can randomly obtain inheritances of cultivation techniques, spells, supernatural powers, ultimate skills, formations, miscellaneous knowledge, etc.]

Li Qingqiu was overjoyed. Although he had talented people, he had nothing to teach them. How could the Qingxiao Sect develop? Fortunately, the lineage had been passed down.

He now has one chance each for destiny selection and inheritance rewards, so he can be considered to have made a start.

Without hesitation, he clicked on Jiang Zhaoxia's profile picture again, focusing his gaze on Jiang Zhaoxia's destiny.

Junior brother, your talent is very strong, and now it's mine too!
