From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 162 Suanni
After much thought, Li Qingqiu concluded that the port was likely the work of disciples from Yuantie Fudi, since Yuantie Fudi was located by the sea.

He was very curious about the port, but he could not leave Qingxiao Sect until Jiang Zhaoxia and Xu Ning returned.

After chatting with Li Sijin for a while, Li Qingqiu returned to his cave to cultivate.

He needs to seize the time and make himself as strong as possible.

He likes to overestimate his opponents as much as possible, because that's a safer approach.

Since acquiring his cave dwelling, Li Qingqiu has found the feeling of cultivating immortality, and he has begun to seclude himself for several days at a time.

The world changes like the tides, and the actions of the Qingxiao Sect shocked the martial arts world.

Many people guessed that Qingxiao Sect would not sit idly by and wait for its demise, but they did not expect Qingxiao Sect to be so ruthless. Qingxiao Sect disciples, led by Jiang Zhaoxia and Xu Ning, are sweeping through Lingtian Prefecture in various states.

Before Li Qingqiu killed the Demon Emperor and the Emperor, Jiang Zhaoxia and Xu Ning were the representative figures of Qingxiao Sect and unparalleled geniuses who shocked the martial arts world. Just when the martial arts world was about to forget them, they once again showed their terrifying strength.

The experts of Lingtian Sect, who roamed the north and south, were no match for the combined forces of these two. Because Lingtian Mansion was located in the city, many people witnessed the battle between Qingxiao Sect and Lingtian Sect.

For a time, Qingxiao Sect was praised to the skies by martial arts practitioners, and some even said that Qingxiao Sect disciples could fly.

Various exaggerated rumors are circulating, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. The only certainty is that Lingtian Sect is no match for Qingxiao Sect.

Lingtian Sect wanted to unify the martial arts world, but Qingxiao Sect was an insurmountable obstacle for them. When the two clashed, the martial arts world realized that they were not even on the same level.

The martial arts world across the land was in an uproar. The number one sect in the world was once again on the lips of martial artists, and the consensus was shifting.

Before Jiang Zhaoxia, Xu Ning, and the others returned, news of their achievements had already reached Qingxiao Mountain, exciting the entire sect.

The pressure on the Training Hall has increased dramatically because too many disciples want to leave the mountain and help the sect become the number one sect in the world.

It was late March.

After noon, Zhang Ping walked into the training hall. He frowned as he looked at the long queue in the courtyard.

"Why are there so many people?"

Zhang Ping was puzzled. He hadn't come because he heard about Jiang Zhaoxia and Xu Ning's achievements; he just wanted to earn Dao opportunities.

With the emperor killed by the sect leader, the Demonic Sect disappeared without a trace. Now the sect is fighting a great battle with the Lingtian Sect. He felt that even if Chu Jing was still alive, he probably wouldn't be able to ambush him.

Being in the Imperial Spirit Hall, he was well aware of the number of disciples at all levels in the sect, and more and more disciples were surpassing him, which made him anxious.

He realized that he needed enough Daoist affinity to go to the fourth floor of the Sutra Repository to exchange for the inheritance of unique skills.

He has already learned the first part of the Earth Talisman Manual and the Rejuvenating Ghost Immortal Needle, but he does not have enough talent in these two techniques and can only barely master them at present.

Having spent these years in the Imperial Spirit Hall, he has seen his future. It is precisely because he can see it that he is apprehensive and wants to change.

With so many people in the hall, Zhang Ping began to worry that he might not be able to get a suitable assignment.

"Junior brother, are you looking to take on a mission but worried about missing out on good ones?"

A voice came from behind him. Zhang Ping turned around and saw a young man looking at him with a smile.

This is Qingxiao Sect, and Zhang Ping wasn't worried that the other party would harm him, so he replied, "Yes, there are too many people here."

The person who spoke to him was none other than Bai Ning'er, who possessed the destiny of the "Lucky One." At twenty-two years old, he could indeed call himself senior brother in front of nineteen-year-old Zhang Ping.

Upon hearing Zhang Ping's words, Bai Ning'er's smile grew even brighter. He laughed and said, "My name is Bai Ning'er. In my early years, I often followed Hall Master Li Sifeng down the mountain for training. Later, I stayed in the spirit mine. I have already taken on a mission and am looking for someone to accompany me. Junior brother, if you are willing, you can come with me. After the mission is accomplished, you and I will split the three hundred Dao Fate equally."

Three hundred paths of destiny!

Zhang Ping raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. His current monthly salary was only forty Dao Yuan, so how could he not be tempted by the prospect of receiving one hundred and fifty Dao Yuan in one go?
"May I ask, Senior Brother Bai, what type of mission is this, and how far away is it?" Zhang Ping asked cautiously.

Bai Ning'er leaned closer and warmly put her arm around his shoulder, saying, "Let's talk about it somewhere else. If you agree, we can register again. If you don't agree, let's just consider it making friends."

Hearing that he could register at the Training Hall, Zhang Ping felt relieved. The Enforcement Hall stipulated that Dao Fate could not be directly transferred. Although many disciples traded Dao Fate in private using various methods, it was definitely not allowed to be brought into the open. If he did not register, and Bai Ning'er regretted it later, there was nothing he could do.

"it is good."

Zhang Ping agreed. Strangely enough, he was wary of everyone, but when he looked at Bai Ning'er, he felt a strange sense of goodwill and thought they were very compatible.

the other side.

Inside Lingxiao Academy, Li Qingqiu was listening to a true disciple report on the port by the sea.

"The port is not far from the Yuan Tie Blessed Land. The reason for building the port is that we discovered a whirlpool in the shallows, which exudes a very rich spiritual energy. Elder Shen previously discovered a two-zhang-long fish and tried to catch it, but the fish directly darted into the whirlpool and disappeared. Elder Shen felt that this whirlpool was special and might be a treasure land like the Yuan Tie Blessed Land. So he ordered us to build a pavilion on the shallows and use the port as a cover."

After listening to the report from this true disciple, Li Qingqiu secretly sighed, "Old foxes are indeed shrewd; Shen Yue is very capable." Li Qingqiu was certain that the vortex must contain a spatial teleportation array similar to a low-level demon realm technique, but its destination was currently unknown.

However, since it is located around the Yuan Tie Blessed Land, it means that this vortex does not pose a threat to him for the time being.

After all, this was the blessed land that the Taoist panel had chosen for him.

Of course, Li Qingqiu wouldn't be careless. The so-called lack of threat couldn't be guaranteed in time. There was no danger to him before, but that might not be the case now, and the future is even more uncertain.

"Go back and tell Elder Shen and the other disciples not to act rashly. If there are any evil creatures inside that could harm you or be released, that would be disastrous."

Li Qingqiu said seriously, "The Taikun Mountain Range connects to the eastern ocean. If a powerful demon were to break out, it would be the first thing to threaten the Qingxiao Sect."

"Sect Master, rest assured, we know what we're doing. It's just that Elder Shen thinks our skills aren't up to par and wants you to transfer some disciples from the Heavenly Craft Hall to build the port. The coastal area is rich in various resources. It's said that the Xi River connects to the sea, and we can build a waterway in the future to provide the sect with various marine fish."

The true disciple nodded and then offered a suggestion.

Li Qingqiu nodded and praised, "Good idea, I'll remember it. Do a good job. Go back and rest for a while. Go to the Heavenly Craft Hall early tomorrow morning and I will arrange for a group of disciples to go with you."

"Yes!"

The disciple beamed with joy, quickly raised his hand in greeting, and then turned and left.

Having been away from the sect for so long, he also had people he missed and wanted to see.

Li Qingqiu sat at the long table, deep in thought. He suddenly realized that he needed to draw a map, but this map could not be leaked in the early stages of the sect's development.

After thinking for a while, he got up and went to Tiangong Hall.

Both the Source Iron Blessed Land and the mysterious vortex are related to the development of the sect. He plans to send Mingguang, who is good at array formations, and Wuxingyue, who is good at forging magical artifacts, together.

Perhaps the resources of Yuantie Blessed Land and the seaside can promote the development of Qingxiao Sect's weaponry and array techniques.

That evening, Li Qingqiu summoned Zhang Yuchun and Zhu Yan.

He recounted the story of the Source Iron Blessed Land and the whirlpool, and then instructed, "I need people to build ships, people to plan routes, and people to make maps."

Zhu Yan replied, "I will contact the shipbuilding craftsmen. As for the map, I will come in person. Otherwise, I will not feel at ease. This matter is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly."

"As for the route, I will send a group of disciples downstream along the Xi River to see if we can bypass the coast," Zhang Yuchun added.

He paused, then sighed, "If that vortex connects to a place similar to a low-level demon realm, not to mention resources, there would be another place for cultivation. The disciples are truly blessed."

Zhu Yan smiled and said, "The fact that so many blessed lands have been discovered in the Taikun Mountains alone shows that there are many more treasures hidden in this land that we need to explore."

She has realized something.

That means that Qingxiao Sect may be the only one in the world cultivating immortality, and only Qingxiao Sect can discover and utilize these treasure lands. The next hundred years will be a period of rapid development for Qingxiao Sect.

No wonder the sect leader disdains competing in the martial arts world; he has a higher purpose.

Li Qingqiu said to Zhu Yan, "Hall Master Zhu, you can select some craftsmen with different skills to join Qingxiao Sect. I will allow Tiangong Hall to open a system of registered disciples to facilitate the discovery of more talents."

"Thank you, Sect Master," Zhu Yan replied immediately, pleased with this important appointment.

Zhang Yuchun did not vie for the right to establish a group of registered disciples, since the authority of the Imperial Spirit Hall and the Heavenly Craft Hall was different, and they did not need so many people.

Zhu Yan continued, "By the way, Sect Master, according to our Zhu family's investigation, Lingtian Sect and Qi Clan have already begun cooperating. The Lingtian Mansions that Lingtian Sect has established in various places are all mansions that Qi Clan purchased in the past. Qi Clan wants to conquer the world, and Lingtian Sect is their weapon. Once Lingtian Sect unifies the martial arts world, it can play a supporting role when Qi Clan's army goes to war."

"The Qi clan is attacking Weizhou. Judging from the situation, Weizhou won't last more than six months."

She also learned about Lingtianmen's provocation of Qingxiaomen, which she couldn't understand. She felt that Lingtianmen was making a foolish mistake.

Li Qingqiu nodded and said, "I understand. As for the Qi family, just keep an eye on them. There's no need to take any action."

Zhang Yuchun continued, "A friend of mine from the north told me that a fierce general has emerged in Cangzhou. It is said that he has received the true teachings of a martial arts legend and possesses the courage to fight against ten thousand men. His mount is an ancient mythical beast, the Suanni."

"Suanni?" Li Qingqiu raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Zhu Yan frowned and said, "According to ancient records, the Suanni is shaped like a giant cat, with a thick mane on its head and neck, sharp claws like a tiger, a body like a bear, and a dragon tail. If it is as the legend says, this general riding it could probably really break through thousands of troops."

Zhang Yuchun seemed to remember something and said, "Speaking of which, the Prison Qilin has been very restless lately. Sijin said that it has become irritable and ordinary disciples cannot get close to it."
