From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 137 The Descendants of the Martial Arts Legend

Master Qingxiao was surprised that Zhang Ping was so unyielding. This kid seemed mediocre at first glance. Logically speaking, he should have seized the opportunity to climb the ranks by clinging to his sect leader and grandmaster.

"You are very good."

Master Qingxiao looked at Zhang Ping, hesitated for a long time, and finally managed to utter this sentence before turning away and leaving.

Zhang Ping didn't care; he just wanted to finish his errands quickly and go back to practice his skills.

A few days later.

Another stele was erected on the road in front of the Xuanxin Hall, inscribed with Zhao Zhen's achievements in establishing the Great Sun Sun True Yuan Gong for the sect.

This news spread quickly, and many disciples were curious about the power of the Great Sun Sun True Yuan Technique.

Although Zhao Zhen is only nine years old, erecting a monument to his contributions on the path of cultivation is no joke. Among the many geniuses in the sect, there are quite a few who have created their own techniques and martial arts, but only Zhao Zhen is worthy of having a monument erected.

Some true disciples, based on their contributions, went to the Sutra Repository to borrow the Great Sun Sun True Yuan Gong, wanting to see if this skill was worthy of having a monument erected.

at dusk.

When Li Qingqiu returned to Lingxiao Academy, his junior brothers and sisters were already sitting at the table. Unlike before, they no longer chatted about trivial matters, but instead discussed the troubles their respective departments were facing and offered each other advice.

Zhang Yuchun was clearly in a good mood and personally cooked. When he saw Li Qingqiu, he laughed and said, "Senior Brother, don't let the Rainbow Sword float around all day. Senior Shen has been driven mad by you. He holds the wooden sword all day and doesn't have a appetite."

Li Qingqiu casually replied, "Then why don't I see you like him?"

As Zhang Yuchun walked toward the kitchen, he replied helplessly, "I don't have his level of understanding, and I don't have time to study these things. There are too many things to do in the sect right now, and I simply can't manage them all."

Although he said that, his face was beaming with a smile. For him, being busy now was the best way to realize his value.

Li Qingqiu shook his head, then walked to his seat and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, Li Sifeng leaned over and said, "Senior Brother, one of my disciples has created his own leg technique. Do you have time to go and take a look tomorrow?"

"It's just a set of leg techniques, what's so interesting about it?"

"He's absolutely a genius!"

"In that case, you have already described several disciples."

Li Qingqiu casually replied, and as he spoke, he brought up the Daoist lineage panel and habitually checked the new disciples' aptitude and destiny.

Now, a dozen or twenty new disciples join every day, not counting the miscellaneous disciples.

The servant disciples did not have an entry panel for the Dao lineage, which made it impossible for Li Qingqiu to even try to get close to it.

However, there was no other way. He couldn't just accept anyone and then expel them from the sect if they weren't qualified; that would be a huge sin.

Li Sijin also recommended disciples.

People are emotional beings and want to fight for better treatment for those they are close to. Li Qingqiu can understand this, just as he tries his best to take care of his junior brothers and sisters.

Li Qingqiu only listened casually to such matters and would not easily agree. If they did something underhanded, Li Qingqiu was too lazy to investigate. Anyway, with the Enforcement Hall around, if the Enforcement Hall found out, he would deal with it seriously.

Sudden.

Li Qingqiu's gaze changed as he was drawn to the panel of one of the disciples in front of him.

Name: Xiao Wudi

【Sex: Male】

[Age: 17 years old]

Loyalty (Leader/Sect Leader): 91/12 (Maximum 100)

[Cultivation Aptitude: Excellent]

[Comprehension: Mediocre]

[Destiny: Born with a strong physique, able to survive even in dire straits]

[Born Body Cultivator: Born with an extraordinary physique, suitable for the path of body cultivation, and possesses exceptional comprehension of body-tempering spells]

[A narrow escape: Each time you escape death, your understanding of physical cultivation will increase]

……

Indeed, he possesses two special destinies and has excellent cultivation aptitude, making him an absolute genius. Even if he is not as good as Zhao Zhen, he can still become a core disciple like Xue Jin.

The phrase "a miraculous escape from a desperate situation" even piqued Li Qingqiu's interest.

However, he doesn't like doing things he's not sure about, so he doesn't plan to replicate this fate.

Later, we can try creating a false sense of impending doom to see if we can force Xiao Wudi to increase his comprehension.

If so, Xiao Wudi's value would be completely different.

Li Qingqiu secretly memorized Xiao Wudi's name, then continued reading. The next new disciple made him raise an eyebrow.

Name: Xiao Wuqing

【Sex: Male】

[Age: 16 years old]

Loyalty (Leader/Sect Leader): 75/65 (Maximum 100)

[Cultivation Aptitude: Excellent]

[Comprehension: Excellent]

[Destiny: Keen eye for talent, capable right-hand man]

[A discerning eye: Possessing extraordinary talent for recognizing people]

[Right and left arms: Once employed by someone, they will devote all their efforts to assisting their master, and will never betray them before their master's death.]

……

Excellent in both aspects, that's incredible. His talent is comparable to Li Yang and Ji Ya. It's just a pity that he doesn't have a special destiny related to combat or cultivation, so his achievements in cultivation should not be as good as Li Yang and Ji Ya.

But his destiny was very attractive to Li Qingqiu.

A support-type genius!
Could Xiao Wudi and Xiao Wuqing be brothers?

Upon closer inspection, Li Qingqiu noticed that the two did indeed look somewhat alike.

Wait a minute, the portrait of the disciple behind him also bears a striking resemblance to Xiao Wudi and the other two. Could it be...?

Li Qingqiu immediately clicked on the next disciple's avatar.

Name: Xiao Wuming

【Sex: Male】

[Age: 16 years old]

Loyalty (Leader/Sect Leader): 81/72 (Maximum 100)

[Cultivation Aptitude: Excellent]

[Comprehension: Good] [Destiny: Poisonous Dragon with Evil Heart, Keeping Promises to the Death]

[The Poisonous Dragon's Evil Heart: Because his father was once swallowed by a poisonous dragon, the toxicity was inherited by him. His blood is extremely poisonous and there is no cure except for his heart's blood. He is emotionally detached and often exudes an eerie aura that makes people instinctively resistant.]

[Keeping promises to the death: Once a promise is made to someone, one will do everything in one's power to fulfill it, even if it means sacrificing oneself.]

……

Good heavens, three geniuses with outstanding talent in a row, and they are obviously brothers.

Could their father be a peerless master, which is why they are all so exceptionally talented?
Li Qingqiu noticed the introduction of the Poisonous Flood Dragon and felt that Xiao Wuming's father was very fierce. The Poisonous Flood Dragon was also very powerful. How could it survive being swallowed by such a ferocious creature?

He continued looking down, but unfortunately, he did not see the fourth genius surnamed Xiao.

Both Xiao Wuqing's "left and right arms" and Xiao Wuming's "keeping promises to the death" deserve Li Qingqiu's special attention and cultivation.

Li Qingqiu was in a great mood, and even though no more geniuses emerged among the new disciples, it did not affect his mood.

"Alright, stop arguing. If someone is truly a genius, they will eventually shine. I will discover geniuses and show you what a genius really is."

Li Qingqiu slammed his hand on the table and said something. Li Sifeng and Li Sijin were not angry when they heard this. Instead, their eyes lit up.

"Senior Brother, if you find a true genius, could you give one to me? I don't have high expectations, someone like Xue Jin would be fine," Li Sifeng said with a smile, rubbing his hands together.

Li Qingqiu slapped him on the back of the head and told him to get lost.

Li Sijin followed up, hugged Li Qingqiu's arm and acted coquettishly, also asking him to arrange a genius disciple for her. Li Qingqiu smiled helplessly and said, "Alright, what can I do? You're my junior sister."

Li Sifeng's eyes widened, and she almost fainted from anger.

"My senior brother is the best!"

Li Sijin was overjoyed and shook Li Qingqiu's arm vigorously.

Zhang Yuchun brought over the dishes and asked with a smile, "Why are you so happy?"

"My senior brother promised to find a genius disciple for me," Li Sijin said with a smug smile.

After hearing this, Zhang Yuchun coughed lightly and said, "Senior brother, I want one too."

Li Qingqiu ignored him completely, and Zhang Yuchun looked embarrassed.

Seeing this, Li Sifeng chuckled and began to tease Zhang Yuchun, saying that the Imperial Spirit Hall was so busy that it would be a waste of a genius's talent to go there and delay his cultivation.

After hearing this, Zhang Yuchun couldn't find a reason to refute it.

This dinner was just like always; it was always lively as long as Li Sifeng and Li Sijin were there.

The moon sets and the sun rises.

The next morning, Li Qingqiu, unusually, did not cultivate. He began to wander down the mountain, strolling around the various halls and courtyards.

Chu Jing followed behind him and said with a smile, "Master, it's rare to see you not cultivating, but inspecting the sect."

The voices of ghosts cannot be heard by the living, unless they are highly skilled cultivators.

"After all, I am the sect leader, and I have to check on the situation of the sect. If a disciple encounters injustice and cannot find me, how desperate would that be?"

Li Qingqiu answered softly, his words seemingly casual, yet they delivered a soul-stirring impact to Chu Jing.

Afraid that his disciples wouldn't be able to find him?
Chu Jing realized that he still didn't understand Li Qingqiu well enough.

For the rest of the day, he watched Li Qingqiu wander around, doing nothing special and meeting no one special.

Li Qingqiu was just making a casual remark. Fortunately, no disciples came to him to seek justice, which meant that there were no unjust events in Qingxiao Sect for the time being, or at least not that serious.

Two more days passed.

At noon, Li Qingqiu sent Yuan Qi to summon Xiao Wudi and the other two.

Half an hour later, Yuan Qi brought Xiao Wudi and the other two into the hospital. Li Qingqiu was secretly pleased, as it was not easy to quickly find three unfamiliar outer disciples in Qingxiao Mountain these days.

Xiao Wudi, Xiao Wuqing, and Xiao Wuming arrived in front of Li Qingqiu, all three of them somewhat excited and nervous.

Although they had only been disciples for three days, they had heard of Li Qingqiu's achievements before joining the Qingxiao Sect. They had great respect and admiration for this number one disciple in the world. Before this, they never dreamed that Li Qingqiu would take the initiative to summon them.

"Meet the sect master!"

Xiao Wudi spoke first, and gestured for his two younger brothers to bow with him.

Xiao Wuqing and Xiao Wuming snapped out of their daze and quickly bowed in greeting.

Yuan Qi looked at the three of them with curiosity. To be summoned by the sect leader, their talents must be extraordinary.

Chu Jing also floated behind Li Qingqiu, sizing up Xiao Wudi and the other two with a strange expression on his face.

"Why do these three look so familiar..." Chu Jing wondered to himself.

Li Qingqiu smiled and said, "I saw you the day before yesterday afternoon, do you remember me?"

Xiao Wudi was flattered and said, "Sect Master, you remembered us after only glancing at us from afar?"

Li Qingqiu sat down at the long table, put down his teacup, and smiled, "I believe in first impressions. I feel very good about the three of you, and we get along very well. Although I can't directly take you as my disciples, I would like to teach you martial arts techniques if I want you to work for me. How about it?"

Although he had divided the area into seven halls, Li Qingqiu still wanted to build his own team to facilitate the relaying of messages and the handling of affairs.

The three Xiao brothers are quite good!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wudi and the other two excitedly agreed. At Xiao Wudi's signal, the three brothers knelt down together and clasped their hands in greeting to Li Qingqiu.

"and many more!"

Just then, a voice rang out, and Master Qingxiao rushed into the courtyard. He came to Xiao Wudi's side, looked at Li Qingqiu nervously, and asked, "What did they do wrong?"

He heard that Xiao Wudi and the other two had been summoned by the sect leader, so he followed them. But as soon as he arrived at the courtyard gate, he saw Xiao Wudi and the other two kneeling down, which startled him so much that he quickly jumped out.

Li Qingqiu smiled and said, "They didn't do anything wrong, I just intend to cultivate them."

Upon hearing this, Master Qingxiao breathed a sigh of relief. He was puzzled, wondering why Li Qingqiu valued these three brothers so much.

"Could it be his descendants?"

Chu Jing suddenly exclaimed, his tone filled with shock.

Li Qingqiu wondered to himself, "Whose descendant?"

Chu Jing's expression was complicated as he said softly, "Xiao Xuanzun, the legend of the martial arts world."

A martial arts legend?

Li Qingqiu was surprised, then suddenly realized why the three brothers had such high aptitude; they had such a great background.

"Why...why do you value them so much?" Master Qingxiao asked, his expression unnatural.

Li Qingqiu laughed and said, "If they get along well, is it wrong to want to cultivate them?"

Xiao Wudi quickly said, "Grandpa Lin, the sect leader really didn't blame us. He just said the same thing to us."

Xiao Wuqing and Xiao Wuming nodded in agreement.
