From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 16 Rejuvenating Ghostly Needle

Can the first development of the Daoist tradition trigger a reward?

Li Qingqiu looked at the prompt in front of him and fell into thought. He felt that he could think about this aspect in the future to promote the development of Qingxiao Sect.

He turned and walked into the sect, eager to see what kind of inheritance rewards he could get.

At the same time, Qin Jue, who had entered the forest, turned to look at Yang Jueding and said with emotion, "Although your sect leader is young, he is very shrewd. That kid named Li Sifeng was ruthless, and it must have been his doing."

Yang Jueding laughed and said, "I don't know that. Anyway, you weren't injured, were you? Actually, this is the most time-efficient way to let you personally experience the power of Qingxiao Sect."

Qin Jue nodded. He had lofty ambitions and wouldn't care about Li Qingqiu's methods. On the contrary, before coming here, he was worried that Qingxiao Sect wouldn't last long and that the Qin family's investment would be wasted.

That is why his father did not come in person.

The Qingxiao Sect is highly respected in the martial arts world. Its two former leaders were renowned masters. After Lin Xunfeng announced his retirement from martial arts, the Qingxiao Sect will inevitably face the covetousness of many other sects.

Now, he was no longer worried at all, and even began to look forward to what wonderful stories the Qingxiao Sect would leave behind in the martial arts world.

"Young Master Qin, let me tell you, the most powerful person in Qingxiao Sect is not here today. That kid is even more terrifying. To be honest, I'm afraid of offending him. The reason I recommended your Qin family is because of my relationship with your father. With the abilities of these geniuses in Qingxiao Sect, once their reputation spreads, many noble families and high-ranking officials will come to win them over. At that time, your Qin family will not be able to get a chance to join the ranks."

Yang Jueding said earnestly that he did not favor anyone and that in his view, it was a win-win situation.

Qin Jue nodded, he understood the logic. After thinking for a moment, he said, "In addition to what we just discussed, I am prepared to provide some more money and supplies privately. I want my son to become that personal disciple."

Yang Jueding chuckled and said, "Are you trying to leave yourself a way out?"

"Having too many brothers inevitably brings a lot of trouble," Qin Jue said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jueding seemed to recall some past events and fell silent.

The two figures quickly disappeared into the depths of the mountains and forests.

……

After seeing Qin Jue and the other person off, Li Qingqiu quickly returned to the courtyard, went straight into her house, and closed the door.

The other disciples were already busy with their own things and did not notice his unusual behavior.

Li Qingqiu sat cross-legged on the bed and immediately activated the inheritance rewards.

[Claim your inheritance reward]

[Initiating the Inheritance of the Daoist Tradition]

[You have obtained the secret technique - the Rejuvenating Ghostly Needle]

Whether or not to accept the inheritance

Secret method?

Curiosity flashed in Li Qingqiu's eyes, and he immediately chose to accept the inheritance.

A flood of memories rushed into his mind, and this long-lost feeling fascinated him. He closed his eyes and immersed himself in it.

When he woke up, he opened his eyes and saw that it was already dusk outside the window.

As he recalled the wonders of the Rejuvenating Ghostly Needle, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

The Rejuvenating Ghost Immortal Needle can stop bleeding, expel toxins, and stimulate the five internal organs. It has a wide range of uses in medicine and can be called an all-rounder. Moreover, the Rejuvenating Ghost Immortal Needle can also kill enemies. The needle is as fast as lightning and as unpredictable as a ghost immortal.

This acupuncture technique relies on vital energy. The amount of vital energy consumed during treatment depends on the specific situation, but not much vital energy is used when fighting an enemy.

This is much better than the Supreme Sword Control Technique.

His current energy level is not suitable for using powerful and sweeping spells like the Supreme Sword Control Technique. However, the Finger Flicking Needle Shooting Technique is very suitable for him, as it consumes less energy but has immeasurable destructive power.

Li Qingqiu liked it more and more the more she thought about it.

Although the inherited Taoist tradition cannot allow him to directly master magic, he can remember it firmly in his heart and will not forget a single word. Such memory will make it easier for him to cultivate the inherited magic.

He stood up, straightened his clothes, and then went out to eat.

Although the second level of the Nourishing Essence Realm can reduce sleep time, it still does not allow for fasting; he must eat.

When he arrived at the courtyard, his disciples were preparing dishes. He walked to his chair and sat down. Li Sijin, Xu Ning, and the other disciples were discussing the Qin family's affairs.

The boldest of them all, Li Sijin, asked Li Qingqiu directly, "Senior Brother, are we about to receive another batch of disciples?"

The other disciples also showed expressions of curiosity and anticipation; for children, making new friends is a very exciting thing.

"Yes, the person who visited today will bring six juniors. Not only that, Qingxiao Sect will recruit more disciples in the next six months. My plan is to have the number of Qingxiao Sect disciples reach fifty by the end of the year."

Li Qingqiu nodded, and his words made the disciples even more excited, and they started discussing it all at once.

Yang Jueding sat at the end of the long table, a smile on his face, silent, his merits and fame hidden.

He felt that what he had done today was an absolute great achievement!
He was now looking forward to Li Qingqiu passing on the unique internal skills of the Qingxiao Sect to him. He wanted to see what kind of internal skills could make these kids so powerful.

As night fell, oil lamps were hung in the courtyard. Even after the meal was over, some disciples lingered and played in the courtyard. Li Qingqiu and Li Dongyue together used a knife to carve a large handful of wooden skewers. Although Qingxiao Sect already had a batch of weapons, they did not have silver needles, so he could only make do for now.

"You've worked hard, get some rest."

Li Qingqiu picked up the wooden stick, said those words, and walked into the house. It was already dark, not suitable for practicing the Rejuvenating Ghost Immortal Needle. He planned to practice it after absorbing his Qi the next morning.

Li Dongyue sat on the stool, looking at her senior brother's back, her eyes filled with confusion.

That evening, Zhang Yuchun came to Li Qingqiu's room. He was worried about Li Qingqiu taking in the Qin family members. Six people coming at once could easily form a clique, especially since one of them wanted to become Li Qingqiu's apprentice.

Li Qingqiu comforted him for a while before finally sending him away.

He already had plans for the Qin family members; he couldn't allow these disciples to enjoy the same treatment as other disciples from the start.

Within the Qingxiao Sect, the distinction between elders and juniors must be firmly established.

Furthermore, the distinction between immortals and martial arts should also be established.

Unless they are exceptionally talented, disciples must first learn martial arts and then obtain the true teachings of immortal cultivation through their merits.

He still needed to think about the specific details; right now, all he could think about was the Rejuvenating Ghost Immortal Needle.

Although he cannot practice this acupuncture technique tonight, he can continuously reinforce the key points in his mind to prepare for the practice.

Over the next two days, Li Qingqiu spent most of his time practicing the Rejuvenating Ghost Immortal Needle.

Progress was slow, which made him miss the feeling of practicing swordsmanship, and he wondered when he would be able to replicate a second destiny.

On the third day after Qin Jue left, Jiang Zhaoxia and the other two finally returned with a tailor. The mountain road was rugged, and the tailor was so tired that he was covered in sweat and collapsed on the ground as soon as he entered the courtyard.

Zhang Yuchun quickly poured him some water.

Li Qingqiu wasn't in a hurry to make the door robe. He pulled Jiang Zhaoxia back into the house to talk, and Zhang Yuchun and Li Dongyue followed.

Only the disciples remained in the courtyard, surrounding the tailor. As for Yang Jueding, he was completely absorbed in the Hunyuan Sutra and could not extricate himself from it.

After entering the house, Jiang Zhaoxia recounted his experiences along the way in detail. In addition to looking for tailors and buying fabrics, he inquired everywhere and finally found a way to make money.

"There are many bounty posters in the city, some for tracking down the real culprits in unsolved cases, and some for suppressing bandits. The rewards are not low. We can take on these. We can even take on caravans near Taikun Mountain and escort them on their way."

Jiang Zhaoxia sat on the stool and smiled. He was very confident about these things and felt that he could help Qingxiao Sect accumulate wealth quickly.

Zhang Yuchun inquired about the specific reward, and after comparing the results, he remained silent for a moment before saying, "It's too little. There's no need to do it. You could work yourself to death and still not earn as much as the gold and silver the Qin family gives us every year."

"The Qin family?" Jiang Zhaoxia frowned and asked in surprise.

Zhang Yuchun immediately recounted the discussion between Li Qingqiu and Qin Jue.

After listening, Jiang Zhaoxia was not happy. He stared at Li Qingqiu and said, "Senior brother, we don't need to be so condescending and beg for help. We are capable, and making money is not difficult for us."

Li Qingqiu said irritably, "You spend all your time making money, how can you practice your skills? Remember, you are all high-ranking members of the Qingxiao Sect. Your role is not to do these trivial things. Especially you, you should spend most of your time practicing your skills. When you become the number one martial artist, how many people will be begging to give us money?"

Li Dongyue nodded and said, "What Senior Brother said makes sense. Third Senior Brother, don't forget that the Seven Mountains Alliance and the Green Sect may attack at any time. We don't know how many experts they will bring next time."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhaoxia's brows relaxed.

Yes.

With a fierce battle inevitable to break out, how could he possibly spend his time making money?
“As long as you are strong enough, no one can threaten our position,” Li Qingqiu said earnestly.

Jiang Zhaoxia nodded and said, "Besides practicing my martial arts, I will spend my time practicing the Supreme Sword Control Technique."

Zhang Yuchun and Li Dongyue both showed envy. Li Qingqiu also showed them the Taijue Sword Control Technique. Let alone practicing it, they felt a headache just looking at it and thought it would be very difficult to learn.

Li Qingqiu and Jiang Zhaoxia's level of understanding far surpassed theirs.

"Next, Third Junior Brother should focus on practicing his skills. Yu Chun has been busy with many matters within the sect. I plan to take some time to properly teach Dong Yue and cultivate her skills as well."

Li Qingqiu continued, which made Li Dongyue a little uneasy, afraid that she would disappoint her senior brother. But that was just her nature. No matter how many concerns she had, she would not refuse her senior brother's arrangements.

Zhang Yuchun didn't feel tired at all; on the contrary, he was very excited. The more disciples he had, the more opportunities he could show off his skills. Moreover, Li Qingqiu had asked him to prepare to recruit more disciples.

Jiang Zhaoxia added, "The six younger members of the Qin family have arrived, and I need to personally investigate them."

Li Qingqiu laughed and nodded with a smile.

The four chatted for a while, then went out of the house together. They decided to let the tailor rest today and finish making the door robes tomorrow.

The next morning, Li Qingqiu handed the tailor the drawing paper he had prepared in advance. It contained a design he had drawn himself. Since he only had black ink, he had to tell the tailor which colors to use for specific parts.

After explaining everything, he took Li Dongyue down the mountain, intending to teach her the Rejuvenating Ghost Immortal Needle.

He hadn't mastered it himself, so he dragged Li Dongyue along to practice together and exchange tips.

In his vision, the six junior brothers and sisters should master different spells, refine their respective spells, and complement each other.
