From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 14 The Feeling of Cultivating Immortality

In a flash, the white-haired old man kicked off with his right foot, unleashing his inner energy and forcefully breaking free from Li Sifeng's wrist. His body fell backward, but even so, Li Sifeng's dagger still pierced his chest, causing his blood to splatter.

The white-haired old man staggered back more than ten steps before regaining his balance. He looked down at his chest, touched it with his right hand, and found the wound wasn't deep. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at his right hand again; his sleeve was torn, and there were even three bloody marks on his wrist. This made him feel lingering fear, and his gaze toward Li Sifeng was filled with terror.

That kid has incredible strength!

And he moved so fast!

Jiang Nian was stunned. Even though his face was covered in dust, he didn't care about anything else.

What did he see?
In his mind, the most skilled martial artist, Grandpa Du, was actually injured by a boy the same age as him.

He saw it clearly just now; Li Sifeng didn't launch a sneak attack. It was Grandpa Du who struck first, but Li Sifeng was faster.

The white-haired old man named Du Xuanfeng took a deep breath, looked at Li Sifeng, and asked in a deep voice, "Impressive skills. Who is your master?"

Li Sifeng gritted his teeth and said, "Get down the mountain quickly, or I'll kill you!"

Although he admired Jiang Zhaoxia's fighting style, when it was his turn, he was extremely nervous.

Normally, he wouldn't be so bloodthirsty, but when it comes to Qingxiao Sect, he can't suppress his murderous intent.

Jiang Zhaoxia is the most powerful person in Qingxiao Sect. If he leaves, the Seven Mountains Alliance and the Green Sect will launch a full-scale invasion of Qingxiao Sect, and then it will be over.

Upon hearing Li Sifeng's words, Du Xuanfeng couldn't help but laugh, a cold laugh that flashed with killing intent in his eyes. He began to circulate his internal energy, his robes and hair fluttering, and his aura became increasingly terrifying.

"I've been wandering the martial world for many years, and I've heard you say the same thing countless times. No one can actually do it!"

Du Xuanfeng changed his address, referring to himself as "this old man," and his appearance became oppressive, completely different from the previous old man.

Li Sifeng was frightened by him, but as soon as he mobilized the vital energy in his body, his courage increased dramatically, and his face became ferocious.

If Du Xuanfeng was an old and ferocious tiger, then Li Sifeng was a cunning and fierce lone wolf. When the two fought, Jiang Nian was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly.

"Sifeng, what are you doing?"

A voice came, causing Li Sifeng's expression to change drastically. He looked terrified and turned to look.

Jiang Zhaoxia stood atop a large tree not far away, the slender branches beneath his feet giving him an air of otherworldly grace despite his tattered clothes.

Jiang Zhaoxia remained expressionless, her gaze fixed on Du Xuanfeng, not Li Sifeng.

For some reason, Du Xuanfeng felt inexplicably scared when Jiang Zhaoxia stared at him.

Having roamed the martial world for so many years, he knew that anyone who could intimidate him at a glance was a world-renowned master, but this person looked very young, which surprised him.

When did Qingxiao Sect acquire two unparalleled geniuses?
It’s incredible!
Li Sifeng already made him feel threatened, but the young man who has now arrived makes him feel that he is no match for him.

His intuition told him that if he made a move, he would die a terrible death.

"Third Senior Brother, I..." Li Sifeng could no longer hide it and had no choice but to speak.

Third senior brother?
Du Xuanfeng asked in astonishment, "You are Jiang Zhaoxia?"

"Big brother!"

Jiang Nian exclaimed in surprise. He admired Jiang Zhaoxia's figure; his older brother was even more impressive than he had imagined.

However, Jiang Zhaoxia was not attracted by his title. She stared intently at Du Xuanfeng and said, "Sifeng, I'm asking you a question. Does Third Senior Brother's word not carry weight?"

Li Sifeng trembled all over, terrified. He quickly recounted the conflict that had just occurred.

Finished!

My third senior brother is definitely going to beat me up!
Li Sifeng inwardly groaned; attacking his third senior brother's clansmen was no small matter.

Jiang Zhaoxia's expression remained unchanged after hearing this. He snorted coldly, "You did well, but not enough. You should have just killed them."

Upon hearing this, not only were Du Xuanfeng and Jiang Nian shocked, but Li Sifeng was also taken aback.

“But they came looking for you, and that child is your younger brother…” Li Sifeng swallowed hard and cautiously replied.

Jiang Zhaoxia said expressionlessly, "I only have two younger brothers, you and Man'er."

Li Sifeng remained silent, deeply moved, yet also feeling a vague and inexplicable sadness. Being so young, he couldn't understand why he was sad.

Du Xuanfeng immediately said, "Jiang Zhaoxia, things back then weren't as you think. Your father had no choice but to let Xunfeng take you up the mountain."

Jiang Zhaoxia said coldly, "I don't want to know what he's thinking. I only believe what I see and what I remember."

He drew his sword from his waist, pointed it at Du Xuanfeng, and continued, "I'm giving you one last chance."

Du Xuanfeng's face turned ugly, and he could only grit his teeth and say, "Young Master, let's go!"

Jiang Nian hurriedly walked towards him, and the master and servant left without stopping.

Jiang Zhaoxia sheathed his sword, leaped into the air, and landed gracefully in front of Li Sifeng. Li Sifeng saw that he was surrounded by wind as he landed.

"Swift Wind Technique?"

Li Sifeng asked curiously.

Jiang Zhaoxia raised her hand and slapped him on the head, saying, "Your skill is shallow and your body is not yet fully developed. Next time you encounter a strong enemy, it's best to kill him with one blow and not delay."

Li Sifeng rubbed his head, puzzled, and asked, "Third Senior Brother, do you really want me to kill them?"

What a ruthless third senior brother! For the first time, Li Sifeng felt admiration for Jiang Zhaoxia, and he wanted to become like him.

"of course."

Jiang Zhaoxia turned and left, and Li Sifeng quickly followed.

In the distance, Jiang Nian, who was being pulled by Du Xuanfeng, looked back and felt that Jiang Zhaoxia and Li Sifeng were more like brothers. The bright sunlight pierced through the trees, and the figures of Jiang Zhaoxia and Li Sifeng quickly disappeared from his sight.

……

Inside the courtyard, Li Qingqiu was writing at the table, while Li Dongyue stood beside him, fanning him to cool him down. Despite being covered in sweat herself, she showed no signs of fatigue and never took her eyes off him for a moment.

Li Qingqiu caught a glimpse of Jiang Zhaoxia and the other person returning out of the corner of his eye, but didn't pay much attention, as he was busy writing the Hunyuan Scripture.

Jiang Zhaoxia walked straight towards him and recounted what had happened earlier.

After listening, Li Qingqiu glared at Li Sifeng and scolded, "Well done, you've got some nerve, daring to act first and report later!"

Li Dongyue also looked at Li Sifeng with new respect. She never expected her junior brother to be so ruthless. She never knew he was like this before.

Li Sifeng said aggrievedly, "I'm afraid my third senior brother will go with them."

Jiang Zhaoxia snorted, "There was no misunderstanding about what happened back then. My father forced my mother to death in order to marry the daughter of a powerful person, and he even wanted to abandon me. If Master hadn't appeared in time, I would probably have been dealt with by his disciples. I would never have been able to go back. Senior Brother, don't worry, I will always support you."

The Jiang family is also a family that practices martial arts, but like many other sects in the martial arts world, they want to clear their name.

When Lin Xunfeng first brought Jiang Zhaoxia up the mountain, Li Qingqiu overheard Lin Xunfeng talking about this with his friend, and it was indeed as Jiang Zhaoxia had said.

Li Qingqiu nodded, glared at Li Sifeng again, and said, "Remember, you have to ask me first for everything. Whether I support you or not, you have to let me know that I am the sect leader of Qingxiao Sect, not just your senior brother."

Li Sifeng is already showing signs of his destiny; we need to be careful in the future.

Li Qingqiu wasn't afraid of Li Sifeng betraying him, after all, Li Sifeng's loyalty was unquestionable. He was afraid that Li Sifeng's good intentions would backfire and cause him trouble.

He not only cultivates immortality, but also leads his junior brothers and sisters to cultivate immortality together, leaving no one behind.

He raised each and every one of these junior brothers and sisters; he changed their diapers and coaxed them to sleep. In his heart, they were already family.

"I understand," Li Sifeng muttered. Facing his senior brothers and sisters, he acted like a docile kitten, appearing completely harmless.

"Go and play."

Li Qingqiu waved his hand and said that he was getting angry just looking at Li Sifeng and was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold back and take action.

Li Sifeng sensed that his senior brother was truly angry, and immediately turned and ran away.

Jiang Zhaoxia looked at Li Qingqiu and frowned, saying, "Senior brother, the Jiang family has come knocking on our door. I think they're not just after me, but also after the Qingxiao Sect."

Although Qingxiao Sect is small, its territory is too large, making it easy for others to covet it.

"Yes, I know what I'm doing. I'll deal with whatever comes my way."

Li Qingqiu nodded, then changed the subject, saying, "Tomorrow, take Huang Shan and Yu Lin down the mountain to the nearest town to buy cloth. Also, hire a tailor to come up the mountain. I'm planning to make robes for the Qingxiao Sect. Don't be stingy with the money."

Everyone in Qingxiao Sect was dressed in old clothes, looking more like farmers than sect disciples.

Jiang Zhaoxia nodded and said, "I'll see if I can find any other ways to make money."

"Take good care of those two boys. You can let them get some exercise, but they can't be missing any limbs," Li Qingqiu instructed.

Huang Shan and Yu Lin are the two oldest among the second-generation disciples. Li Qingqiu values ​​their future highly, so he wants them to start training early.

"I will be sensible."

After Jiang Zhaoxia finished speaking, she turned and left.

Li Qingqiu turned to look at Li Dongyue and said, "You should rest for a while. I'm not that hot."

Li Dongyue smiled and said, "I'm not tired, Senior Brother. Are all the sect robes the same? Is there a difference between the robes of male and female disciples?"

As she spoke, large beads of sweat streamed down her cheeks, and her hair clung to her face.

Li Qingqiu was somewhat helpless with her and could only let her continue. He replied, "There will be differences, but generally speaking, they will look like they come from the same sect."

"That's wonderful, Senior Brother. Tomorrow, Second Senior Brother is also planning to take me to the village to exchange for grain seeds. I'd like to take Sijin and Ning'er with me, is that alright?"

"Of course. If there's work to be done, let Yu Chun do it. You can just help him carry things."

"Yeah, I remember."

The two chatted casually as the sunlight streamed in, casting long shadows of them.

As the sun sets and the moon rises, day and night alternate, and a new day begins.

As Zhang Yuchun and Jiang Zhaoxia each led their teams down the mountain, Qingxiao Sect became much quieter.

Li Qingqiu did not go to the underground spiritual lake; he had to stay at Qingxiao Gate to guard against any unforeseen events.

At noon, after finishing his meal, Li Qingqiu went alone to the mountain gate to meditate and practice his skills, while waiting for Zhang Yuchun and the others to return.

A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling his hair. Li Qingqiu's heart calmed down; he had found the feeling of cultivating immortality.

Peaceful, carefree, and without worries.
