From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 185 Qingxiao Mountain Trembles

After introducing Bai Zhi to the disciples at the port, Li Qingqiu led the three demons, Jin Lang, back to Qingxiao Sect.

He had Jinlang and Jinhou perch on his left and right shoulders, and then carried the black panther in one hand while flying on his sword.

This terrified the three demons, who tensed up as if afraid of falling.

He didn't go straight back to Lingxiao Academy, but instead landed by the Xi River at the foot of Qingxiao Mountain. He put the black leopard down and then swaggered up the mountain with the three demons.

The black panther's fur was shiny, mysterious and handsome, attracting the attention of the disciples along the way, while the golden monkey following behind was ignored.

"Sect Master, where did this leopard come from? Should we send it to the Demon Control Hall?" a bold disciple asked.

"Those discovered outside will indeed be added to the Demon Control Hall in the future."

Li Qingqiu answered with a smile. Seeing his smiling face, the other disciples became bolder and surrounded him.

The disciples were even more astonished when they saw that Li Qingqiu had a large praying mantis on his shoulder.

Someone tried to touch the black panther, startling it into yelling, "Get away!"

wow——

Upon hearing the black leopard speak in human language, the disciples were so frightened that they retreated hastily, like a surging tide.

Black Panther glared fiercely at the disciple, then followed closely behind Li Qingqiu.

Li Qingqiu continued up the mountain. He did not forbid the three demons from speaking human language, which allowed his disciples to broaden their horizons.

The arrival of the three demons caused quite a stir within the sect. Li Qingqiu placed the Golden Monkey and the Black Panther into the Demon Control Hall, attracting many disciples to come and see them. As for Jin Lang, he planned to keep him by his side.

Inside the cave.

Li Qingqiu sat cross-legged on the stone bed, watching Jin Lang standing at the edge of the spirit pool, his eyes full of anticipation.

Chu Jing emerged from the Rainbow Sword and asked in confusion, "Master, why did you choose this insect? The monkey and the black panther seem to have more potential."

No matter how you look at it, an insect is no good; at least Chu Jing couldn't imagine what it would look like to have cultivated to the point of enlightenment.

Among all the strange tales from ancient and modern times, he had never heard of insect spirits.

Of course, he just hadn't heard of it, but Li Qingqiu had.

"Perhaps it's just a matter of affinity; I feel it's more convenient to carry around," Li Qingqiu thought to himself.

Upon hearing this, Chu Jing thought along the lines of his words. Indeed, such a mantis would be easier to carry and could be hidden, allowing it to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at a crucial moment.

Thinking about it this way, he felt a sense of admiration.

As expected of the master, he thought of everything.

Li Qingqiu did not reveal Jinlang's talent. The more people questioned it, the better, as this would prove his vision and ability to cultivate talent.

However, the most urgent task is to raise Jinlang's loyalty.

We need to open up to each other!
……

The golden monkey was named Yue Shan, and the black leopard was named Hei Li. Because Li Qingqiu had given them special instructions, Cheng Canghai was very friendly to them and dared not greet them casually.

The two demons were very nervous when they first arrived, but as time went by, they found that these people had no ill intentions towards them, and were even very warm. They gradually lowered their guard and began to like the Demon Control Hall.

Two talking demons have arrived at the Demon Control Hall; this is quite a rare occurrence.

Although Qingxiao Sect is considered a cultivation sect and tree demons still exist in the world, neither disciples nor worshippers have ever seen a living, talking demon.

The Demon Control Hall became even more lively, attracting a large number of visitors every day.

The news also spread down the mountain.

The appearance of the three demons made Li Qingqiu even more mysterious in the eyes of the world.

The Qingxiao Sect Master can both slay demons and subdue them.

After spending half a month together, Li Qingqiu finally got Jinlang's loyalty to reach 89, just one step away from 90.

It has to be said that naive little monsters are easy to coax.

That evening, Li Qingqiu walked out of the cave, with the Tianhong Sword hanging at his waist and Jinlang standing on his shoulder.

Li Sijin and Li Dongyue were waiting in the courtyard, the two women chatting excitedly while holding bottles and jars.

Li Sijin turned his head and immediately waved, saying, "Senior Brother, come and see, there's something good!"

Li Qingqiu smiled and walked to the long table to sit down.

When Li Sijin noticed the golden pendant on his shoulder, she couldn't help but ask, "Why do you always bring it with you when you go out?"

"What? Do you have any objections?"

"It looks strange."

“Nothing’s strange about it, my Jinlang is very handsome.”

Upon hearing this, Jinlang raised his head, looking extremely arrogant.

Li Sijin rolled her eyes at Li Qingqiu, thinking that his taste was questionable. She was too lazy to dwell on the issue, so she picked up the three small bottles on the table and pushed them in front of Li Qingqiu.

"These are three new pills refined by Chen Huilan: the Youth Preservation Pill, the Speed ​​Boost Pill, and the Blood Burning Pill."

"The Youth-Preserving Pill can keep you young forever, keep your appearance unchanged, and even keep your skin youthful."

"The Speed ​​Pill can enhance the body's reaction speed, making it suitable for combat."

"Blood Burning Pill is also a combat pill. It burns blood to enhance strength and is suitable for use in desperate situations or when facing a life-or-death struggle."

Li Sijin said proudly that their cultivation hall had achieved great success this year, which made her prestige within the sect rise higher and higher.

Even the fearless Chai Yunshang would take the initiative to befriend her and fight for the right to purchase pills for the disciples of the Enforcement Hall.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingqiu picked up the small bottle containing the Youth Preservation Pill, poured out one pill, and popped it directly into his mouth.

Li Sijin glared and said, "That's a youth-preserving pill! How could you eat it directly?" "Why can't I eat it?"

Li Qingqiu savored the taste of the Youth Preservation Pill. It was very crisp. After biting through the crispy outer layer, the pill melted directly and flowed into his throat, leaving a fragrant aftertaste in his mouth.

Li Sijin pouted and said, "Shouldn't the Youth Preservation Pill be a pill that women pursue? Men should pursue maturity, the more stable the better. Senior Brother, you already look young enough, why would you want to preserve your youth!"

"What kind of talk is that? Do you want your senior brother to become a decrepit old man like our grandmaster?" Li Qingqiu glared at Li Sijin and said irritably.

"Yes, you look best like this."

When Li Sijin thought of Qingxiao Zhenren's appearance and temperament, she immediately felt that Li Qingqiu's words made sense.

When Li Qingqiu took a youth-preserving pill in the winter, she also took one.

Li Qingqiu carefully examined the pill but didn't notice anything unusual. He couldn't help but ask, "Could this youth-preserving pill be fake?"

Li Sijin rolled her eyes at him and said, "Whether it works or not, you'll have to wait a few years."

"alright."

Li Qingqiu had no choice but to give up. Although he could not feel the effects of the Youth Preservation Pill, he could sense the spiritual energy of the Speed-Up Pill and the Blood Burning Pill through the medicine bottle.

Chen Huilan really has something special.

It was worth the risk I took to save her.

Li Qingqiu looked at Li Sijin and said, "Your cultivation hall can't just focus on research. You also need to work on various academies and cultivation classes. This is of long-term significance for the cultivation hall."

Li Dongyue added, "That's right. In the future, the vast majority of disciples will owe a debt of gratitude to the Cultivation Hall. The status of the Cultivation Hall will only rise higher and higher, and you will also benefit from it."

Li Sijin said helplessly, "I'd like to too, but we don't have enough manpower."

Li Qingqiu pondered for a moment and said, "Given the remarkable achievements of the Cultivation Hall, I allow you to recruit another hundred people."

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Li Sijin immediately beamed and said that the reason she came to find Li Qingqiu was actually for this matter.

Although Li Qingqiu dotes on her, he won't indulge her when it comes to important matters; she has to show results first.

After receiving Li Qingqiu's consent, Li Sijin immediately got up and left in a hurry.

Li Qingqiu smiled helplessly; this girl had actually learned to beat around the bush.

He looked at Li Dongyue and asked, "Has Lingcaitang been in trouble lately?"

Li Dongyue did have a lot of complaints to vent, and when she heard his question, she stopped holding back and told him everything.

Li Qingqiu listened attentively. During the rapid development of the sect, all sorts of problems would inevitably arise. He had anticipated this, and even while he was trying to break through to the Spiritual Consciousness Realm, he still had to take time to attend to these matters.

Even if he doesn't intervene, as long as he shows his attitude, Li Dongyue can solve many problems.

……

The construction of Qingxiao Sect has brought about rapid changes to the sect, with various news flowing into the sect every day. However, for the vast majority of disciples, the most important thing is still the geniuses of their generation.

That year, many more geniuses emerged from Qingxiao Sect, in every hall.

They displayed their talent on the martial arts stage and quickly gained fame.

Halfway up Qingxiao Mountain, dozens of disciples gathered around the martial arts arena, cheering from time to time.

Bang!
Ye Nan fell awkwardly off the stage, his face pale and blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

Yang Xuan quickly came to his side, helped him up, and used his own energy to soothe his internal blood and qi.

On the stage, a handsome young man stood with his arms crossed, and said smugly, "Ye Nan, this is the ninth time you have lost to me. Are you still not willing to admit defeat? I am about to break through to the third level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm. After that, there will be no chance to fight again, since the sect does not allow cross-realm battles."

His name is Ning Shu. He has been a member of the sect for less than two years, but he has already made a name for himself. He achieved the best results in the entrance examination and was recruited by the Training Hall ahead of schedule.

The threshold for joining the Eight Halls is very high now. Some disciples at the third level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm cannot even join. It is natural for Ning Shu to attract controversy if she can join the Training Hall as a newcomer to the sect.

Hearing Ning Shu's arrogant words, Ye Nan became furious, causing his internal energy to become disordered and resulting in a violent cough.

Yang Xuan looked up at Ning Shu and frowned, saying, "Junior brother, we are all from the same sect, why humiliate someone like this?"

Although there were a group of disciples in the audience who were Ning Shu's followers, the vast majority of them were just there to join in the fun. They also felt that Ning Shu had gone too far, so when they heard Yang Xuan's words, they all echoed him.

Ning Shu looked at Yang Xuan and asked, "And who are you?"

He had noticed before that Yang Xuan always came to watch Ye Nan's battles, but the two had never interacted.

“Lingcai Hall, Yang Xuan,” Yang Xuan replied calmly.

He no longer resembles a hunter; his skin has become fair, and he looks more and more like a cultivator.

Ning Shu frowned, feeling like she had heard the name somewhere before.

He was not surprised until he heard someone in the audience exclaim that Yang Xuan was the disciple of the head of Lingcai Hall.

The sect leader's apprentice!

Ning Shu gave Yang Xuan a deep look, then stopped making threats. He turned around and prepared to step down from the martial arts arena.

at this time.

The martial arts arena began to tremble; to be precise, the entire Qingxiao Mountain began to tremble, startling the disciples who looked around in alarm.

"What's going on? There's an earthquake?"

"How is that possible? I've never heard of an earthquake in the Taikun Mountains."

"Why does it feel like the vibration is coming from the mountain?"

"Don't panic, this is Qingxiao Sect, a place for cultivating immortality. We're not afraid even if the sky falls."

Yang Xuan turned his head and could feel the spiritual energy surging upwards, which made him curious about what was happening.
