From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 109 The Sect Master's Extraordinary Technique

As evening fell, Li Qingqiu brought Zhao Zhen back to Lingxiao Courtyard. Zhao Zhen followed beside him, talking non-stop. Today, Zhao Zhen taught Li Yang how to cultivate the Divine Dragon Transformation, and it went very smoothly, making the boy very proud.

However, in Li Qingqiu's opinion, it wasn't that Zhao Zhen taught well, but rather that Li Yang had a high level of comprehension.

Perhaps due to the influence of the dragon soul, Li Yang is very suitable for cultivating the Divine Dragon Transformation.

Zhang Yuchun waited in the courtyard. When Zhao Zhen saw him, she immediately walked away so as not to disturb their conversation.

"Today, a disciple was attacked at the foot of the mountain, resulting in injuries to five disciples. Fortunately, the thief was captured, but on the way up the mountain, he secretly committed suicide by taking poison, which caused the trail to go cold."

Zhang Yuchun frowned and said that although such situations were unavoidable, they still worried him every time they happened.

Li Qingqiu said, "Bring the body in so I can take a look."

Zhang Yuchun nodded and left immediately.

Li Qingqiu sat down at the long table. He habitually opened the Daoist lineage panel to check. New disciples were joining every day. In addition to checking the new disciples, he would also check if any disciples' avatars had disappeared.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Yuchun led his men into the hospital. Two disciples of the Imperial Spirit Hall carried a stretcher, and the body on the stretcher was covered with a white cloth.

Li Qingqiu turned his head and saw the soul floating on the corpse.

After a person dies, their soul must wait seven days before it can be reincarnated.

After the two disciples of the Imperial Spirit Hall put down the stretcher, Li Qingqiu got up and went to the corpse. He immediately cast the Soul Binding Spell, and his eyes turned purple.

This startled not only the two disciples of the Imperial Spirit Hall, but also Zhang Yuchun.

Li Qingqiu deliberately showed them the Soul Binding Spell. He had kept it hidden before because he felt that Qingxiao Sect was not strong enough, and he only knew this one soul spell.

Now things are different. Qingxiao Sect is getting stronger and stronger, and he has also obtained the destiny of a ghost or god in the mortal world. In his spare time, he even created his own soul-type spells.

He planned to gradually make Qingxiao Sect aware of a fact in order to change the disciples' mindset.

Qingxiao Sect is not a martial arts sect, but a cultivation sect.

He wanted to shift his disciples' focus from pursuing fame and fortune to pursuing immortality, so that their hearts would always remain with the Qingxiao Sect.

Of course, this process cannot be too direct; he needs to take it step by step.

He first had to show his loyalty to disciples with high loyalty, such as this disciple of the Imperial Spirit Hall, whose loyalty was all above 90.

Zhang Yuchun stared at Li Qingqiu's eyes, his mind reeling. He believed Li Qingqiu had received a dream from an immortal, but the change in his eyes was so striking that it frightened him.

This is a person's instinctive fear of the unknown.

After a brief moment of astonishment, the two disciples of the Imperial Spirit Hall looked at Li Qingqiu with burning eyes.

The legend of the sect leader receiving a dream from an immortal had long been circulating within the sect. Many disciples did not believe it, but some did. The sect leader's strength and actions have consistently proven that the legend might be true.

Now that they're looking at their sect leader, they can be certain that this is definitely not martial arts!
Soon, Li Qingqiu's eyes returned to normal, the purple light gone, and he said, "This person comes from the Taiwu Sect, and has come for our Hunyuan Scripture."

Upon hearing the name Taiwuzong, Zhang Yuchun immediately frowned.

Taiwu Sect, one of the three major sects of the dynasty, is a truly great sect in the world, far surpassing the seven major sects that Guzhou used to have.

A disciple of the Imperial Spirit Hall couldn't help but ask, "Sect Master, how did you know his background and purpose? Just now, your eyes..."

Li Qingqiu smiled at them and said, "My eyes can see through everything. This is a miraculous skill. One day, I will pass this skill on to you and to other disciples. But until then, can you keep it a secret for me?"

The two disciples of the Imperial Spirit Hall were very excited and quickly promised that they would never reveal the secret.

Zhang Yuchun was trying to figure out Li Qingqiu's intentions. Ever since his senior brother took over the position of sect leader, everything he did had a purpose. He had been trying to learn from his senior brother, but he could never see through him.

"Alright, take the body away and find a place to bury it."

Li Qingqiu gave the order, and the two disciples of the Imperial Spirit Hall quickly bowed and then left with the corpse.

Zhang Yuchun asked, "Senior brother, you're not planning to send someone to destroy the Taiwu Sect again, are you?"

Li Qingqiu rolled his eyes at him and said irritably, "Do you think your senior brother is a killing god? This kind of thing is inevitable in the future. There will always be people who try to obtain the Hunyuan Scripture. How to prevent the Hunyuan Scripture from being leaked is up to you to think about."

After saying that, Li Qingqiu returned to the long table and sat down.

The Qingxiao Sect is currently facing numerous troubles, both overt and covert. Various forces are keeping an eye on them. As long as the Qingxiao Sect is not threatened, Li Qingqiu is too lazy to deal with them and leaves it to the hall masters to handle. This is also an opportunity for them to hone their abilities.

Zhang Yuchun looked at Li Qingqiu with a smile on his face. This time, he saw through his senior brother's intentions. He felt both excited to be trusted and eager to show his skills.

"By the way, the six disciples who subdued the thieves must be rewarded, but you can decide how to reward them."

Li Qingqiu suddenly looked up and said something that made Zhang Yuchun frown.

He felt that the matter of awarding the prize was somewhat difficult, because one of the six disciples was Chu Jing.

……

The uprisings spread like wildfire, with King Zhao Qi of Wei leading the way. From humble beginnings to uprisings, powerful families seized power.

In late September, the capital of Guzhou underwent a dramatic change.

In the governor's mansion.

Prefect Fan Xi sat in the hall, his face grim, his hand trembling as he held the teacup. *Clang!*

The sound of the gate being kicked open echoed from the courtyard, followed by a thunderous roar that startled Fan Xi. He turned his head and saw men in black carrying knives enter the courtyard and quickly arrive at the main hall, where they stood guard outside the doors.

Fan Xi saw an old man in a yellow robe stride in. Upon seeing the old man, Fan Xi frowned and gritted his teeth, saying, "Qin Meng, it's you. You bribed Jiang Yan?"

The old man in the yellow robe, known as Qin Meng, grinned and said, "Prefect Fan, you are aloof and do not love money, but there are always people who love money. Of course, they are smarter than you. They know that chaos is coming and they need to build up their own wealth. As for you, you came here from nowhere, with insufficient resources, no money, and no troops. Are you comfortable sitting in this position?"

Fan Xi took a deep breath and said, "How can you be so sure that chaos will come? If the emperor suppresses the unrest in various places, your Qin family will have no chance to turn things around."

Qin Meng raised his hand, and a man in black carrying a long sword walked in and approached Fan Xi.

“I’m not sure, but I know this is a rare opportunity. If you want to climb up, you have to have guts. Governor Fan, it seems you have no last words. So go die.”

Qin Meng sneered, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Fan Xi was in despair. He didn't know martial arts and there was no way he could escape from the governor's mansion.

"By the way, Zhang Yuchun, the hall master of Qingxiao Sect, asked me to tell you that the matter of you hiring someone to assassinate the Qingxiao Sect Master has only been settled today." Qin Meng seemed to remember something and said with a half-smile.

Fan Xi's eyes widened, but before he could speak, the man in black rushed forward.

Poof!

Blood splattered on the paintings on the wall, the light and shadow shifted outside the door, and thunder rumbled.

Qin Meng didn't notice that on a rooftop in the distance, a man in a black robe wearing a demon mask was staring at him.

It was none other than Xuan Gong.

Beneath the rolling thunderclouds, Xuan Gong's demon mask reflected a cold light, his eyes so indifferent. Just as Qin Meng was about to turn and leave the house, Xuan Gong's figure vanished into thin air from the rooftop.

……

Inside Lingxiao Courtyard, Li Qingqiu sat at a long table pouring tea.

Yuan Qi brought Ma Yu and Jia Yi to the hospital.

Upon seeing Li Qingqiu, Jia Yi immediately quickened his pace, knelt down in front of the long table, and cried out, "Sect Master, you must save me! The Forbidden Martial Guards are chasing me, I have nowhere to escape, I can only turn to you!"

Li Qingqiu looked at Ma Yu instead of him.

Ma Yu understood and stepped forward to deliver the letter.

Yuan Qi looked at Jia Yi and felt that the man looked familiar, but he did not linger in the courtyard and quietly left.

Jia Yi did not get up, but knelt on the ground with his forehead pressed against the ground.

After reading Feng Dai's letter, Li Qingqiu learned that Feng Dai was not in danger, which made him even more satisfied with Feng Dai.

This person does have some tricks up his sleeve.

The letter also described the situation in Zhenyang City. After the emperor regained control of Zhenyang Imperial City, the Imperial Guards patrolled every night. He heard that many children of the common people had gone missing, and even unmarried women had disappeared from their boudoirs, causing panic in the imperial city. He guessed that it was related to the emperor and prepared to find a way to enter the court as an official.

After Feng Dai took in Jia Yi, he learned that the Imperial Guards were investigating Jia Yi with his portrait, so he had to do everything he could to get Jia Yi out.

After reading the letter, Li Qingqiu beckoned to Ma Yu, signaling him to sit down and have some tea.

After hesitating for a moment, Ma Yu still came to the table and took the teacup.

Li Qingqiu turned to look at Jia Yi, who was kneeling, and asked, "Have you had any children these past years?"

After losing his identity as a guardian of the heavens, Jia Yi's only value lies in his destiny as the ancestor of the Immortal Emperor.

Jia Yi looked up and said cautiously, "I have been living in fear all these years and have not dared to have children."

"If you don't marry and have children, how can you calm your mind, and how can I feel at ease with you?" Li Qingqiu said casually.

Jia Yi quickly said, "I have a marriage arranged in my hometown. I was just about to go back to pick up my parents to prevent them from being found by the Imperial Guards. I will definitely get married then and take my wife back to Qingxiao Sect. Please grant my request, Sect Master."

After witnessing the cruelty of the Forbidden Martial Guards, he was truly terrified. He felt that only the Qingxiao Sect was safe in the world, and he was also cursed by the Qingxiao Sect Master, who required him to periodically seek relief from the curse, preventing him from escaping to the ends of the earth.

"Well, you go."

Li Qingqiu responded, and as he spoke, he flicked out two silver needles and stuck them into Jia Yi's forehead. Jia Yi was so frightened that he dared not move, and then he felt a cool energy surging through his body.

Jia Yi thought Li Qingqiu was helping him alleviate the curse, and he was overjoyed. Only after Li Qingqiu removed the needles from a distance did he kneel down to thank Li Qingqiu.

"Sect Leader Li, please wait for me. I will return with my family in six months at most."

Jia Yi stood up, bowed, and then quickly left.

Ma Yu was puzzled, wondering why Li Qingqiu was giving Jia Yi acupuncture. However, he was shocked by Li Qingqiu's technique of withdrawing the needles from a distance and was eager to learn it.

Li Qingqiu looked at Ma Yu and said, "Feng Dai asked me to take care of you in his letter. Would you like to stay at Qingxiao Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Yu's expression changed drastically. He immediately stood up and said, "My lord saved my life, how can I abandon him? Thank you for your kindness, Sect Leader Li, farewell!"

After saying that, he raised his hand to bow to Li Qingqiu, and then quickly left, running even faster than Jia Yi.
