From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 232 Three Heads and Six Arms
As summer arrives, the weather on Qingxiao Mountain becomes cool.

In the woods, eight-year-old Li Huaizhen was playing with three-year-olds Li Shouzhen and Li Shoumin. Several other children were also with them, the oldest of whom was about the same age as Li Huaizhen.

Since being brought to Qingxiao Sect by his mother, Madam Xu, for treatment, Li Huaizhen and his mother stayed at Qingxiao Sect. Li Huaizhen successfully joined Qingxiao Sect and became a true disciple.

not far away.

Yuan Qizheng looked at them listlessly, feeling that spending time with these kids was too boring, but Li Shouzheng and Li Shoumin were very important, and he dared not let the two boys out of his sight.

His gaze involuntarily fell on Li Huaizhen. This kid's talent was extraordinary; he wondered if he could become the next genius in the sect.

But even if he's a genius, it's nothing; he's seen far too many geniuses.

Qingxiao Sect is located in the Nine Provinces and attracts talents from all over the world. Many of the current miscellaneous disciples could have been enrolled directly ten years ago. The entry threshold is getting higher and higher, with new standards almost every year, which is enough to prove how fast Qingxiao Sect is developing.

Just then, a disciple descended from the sky, landing beside Yuan Qi with fallen leaves in his wake.

The disciple leaned close to Yuan Qi's ear and whispered something.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qi frowned and said, "Keep watching and remember what that person looks like."

"Yes!"

The disciple responded, then leaped up and disappeared into the sky above the forest.

The person that Yuan Qi cared about so much was naturally his younger brother, Yuan Li.

Yuan Li is seventeen years old this year. As the sect leader's disciple, he naturally attracts a lot of attention. Since the beginning of this year, people have been asking Yuan Li to be their matchmaker.

Yuan Qi could not allow Yuan Li to get married too early. Unlike him, Yuan Li was pursuing immortality, and he did not want his younger brother to be tied down by worldly love and affection.

Of course, he had asked Yuanli, and this was also Yuanli's idea. As the older brother, he naturally had to help his younger brother get rid of these troubles.

the other side.

Inside Lingxiao Courtyard.

Li Qingqiu sipped his tea while listening to Zhang Yuchun recount the plans for the Qingxiaomen stronghold.

Zhang Yuchun plans to build a city in Zhongtian Prefecture, specifically for sect disciples to rest, cultivate, and purchase various cultivation resources.

The reason for setting it in Zhongtian Prefecture was to make it the hub of the Nine Provinces, and to also be able to supervise the imperial court in the future.

To establish such a city, the branches of each hall must be placed within it, forming a power system like a sect, with mutual checks and balances to perfect order.

Li Qingqiu did not object to this, as Qingxiao Sect should have reached this point as well.

Even if there are branch halls, a city must have its own master in order to make decisions on important matters.

Who can become the city lord?
“Senior brother, we can choose from among the hall masters and deputy hall masters, which would free up some positions,” Zhang Yuchun suggested.

Li Qingqiu nodded and said, "Spread the word and see if anyone volunteers. Then I will make a selection. This city must be kept away from worldly affairs and should no longer be used as a trading place."

"Remember, Qingxiao Sect needs to gradually detach itself from worldly affairs, and some things can be transferred downwards."

Zhang Yuchun had many secular families and martial arts figures working for him, as did other hall masters, deputy hall masters, and elders.

Li Qingqiu felt that in the future, the secular industries could be transferred to the miscellaneous disciples. As cultivators, talking about money and competing for profit all day long would damage the image of Qingxiao Sect.

Moreover, the Qingxiao Sect has now completed its accumulation of resources and should gradually become a true immortal cultivation sect.

Zhang Yuchun nodded and said, "I will take the lead in doing so."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Zhang Yuchun got up to take his leave.

A few days later, news spread that Qingxiao Sect was going to build a city outside the region. Many disciples expressed their approval. They were training at the foot of the mountain, and if they went to too far places, they would easily run out of the spiritual pills and spirit stones they carried. If they could build a city in Zhongtian Prefecture, they could replenish their supplies sooner.

Some of the more perceptive disciples realized this was an opportunity.

In the Qingxiao Sect, besides relying on talent, the improvement of status can also bring more resources. With branch cities come branch halls, and a bunch of positions of power are waiting for the disciples to sit in.

After spending a few years working outside and gaining experience, one might be able to return to Qingxiao Mountain and take power, where one's status and treatment would be completely different.

In the future, there will surely be more cities like this, and the first city for cultivating immortality will become unique in status.

Thus, the hall masters began to have a headache, because too many disciples, including their confidants, were asking them for information.

Choosing the right people to represent the group has become a difficult task for the leaders. If they cannot win the support of the people, it may leave hidden dangers.

A few days later, Yuan Qi went to Li Qingqiu to complain.

It turns out that a powerful family was constantly harassing Yuan Li and interfering with his cultivation of immortality.

Although Yuan Qi worked for the sect leader, he dared not directly offend those powerful families.

The aristocratic families that are active within the sect almost all have disciples cultivating immortality within the sect. They are no longer the secular sects that used to beg Qingxiao Sect. Yuan Qi can also feel the pressure from these aristocratic families.

"Spread the word for me: no one is allowed to bypass me and discuss marriage with my disciple."

Li Qingqiu spoke, and Yuan Qi was very excited to hear these words. With these words, he felt more confident. He immediately thanked Li Qingqiu and then took his leave.

For Li Qingqiu, this was a trivial matter.

Those he values, even without assigning them specific positions of power, can attract numerous disciples and powerful families to associate with them; this is something that cannot be stopped.

He brought up the Daoist lineage panel to check the new disciples' profiles. He was still searching for suitable special destinies and was finding it difficult to make a decision.

Not long after, Xiao Wuqing strode into the courtyard, bowed to Li Qingqiu, and said, "Sect Master, a disciple from the Training Hall wants to see you. Hall Master Li Sifeng is in trouble."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingqiu's expression changed immediately, and he said, "Let him in."

"Yes!"

Xiao Wuqing immediately turned and left.

Li Qingqiu frowned. He quickly searched for Li Sifeng's portrait in the Daoist panel and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was still there.

What could possibly happen to Li Sifeng?

Even if the Xuanji Sect has experts who have entered the Dao, they shouldn't be able to stop him.

Could it be related to the demonic lands of the north?

That kid is always causing trouble!
The thought of the land of demons and monsters immediately put Li Qingqiu under pressure.

The main problem was that he didn't know how strong the demons in the Demon Land were.

Soon, Xiao Wuqing brought a disciple from the Training Hall into the hospital. Li Qingqiu looked up and saw that the disciple's robes had not been changed and were covered with bloodstains. His qi and blood were unstable, and he could tell that the disciple had suffered serious internal injuries.

The disciple from the Training Hall knelt down beside the long table. Xiao Wuqing wanted to leave, but Li Qingqiu stopped him.

"Heartless, help him up."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wuqing immediately did as instructed.

Li Qingqiu looked at the disciple from the Training Hall and said, "Sit down and talk. What exactly happened? Don't rush, tell me slowly."

The disciple of the Training Hall took a deep breath and then moved to sit down.

At Li Qingqiu's prompting, Xiao Wuqing also sat down, his gaze fixed on the disciple.

"Under the leadership of Hall Master Li, we pursued the Xuanji Sect northwards, razing many of their strongholds. However, the northern border was simply too vast, making it difficult to eradicate the Xuanji Sect completely. One night, Hall Master Li decided to lead us back, but that very night, we were attacked..."

Recalling the events of that night, the disciple couldn't help but tremble, his face turned deathly pale, and his eyes were filled with fear.

“Something attacked us. It was too dark to see what it was. Senior Brother Zheng Yunqiao was cut in half at the waist. Hall Master Li told us to escape first, while he and the Prison Qilin stayed behind to hold off that terrifying being. We could only flee south…”

Zheng Yunqiao is dead?
Li Qingqiu immediately brought up the Daoist chart panel, but couldn't find Zheng Yunqiao's portrait anywhere.

With his spiritual cultivation, browsing through tens of thousands of portraits is not difficult; he can do it quickly, and he won't be mistaken.

His mood suddenly turned heavy. Zheng Yunqiao was the second disciple among the Thirteen Sword Masters, with profound seniority. In his heart, he planned to make Zheng Yunqiao the branch hall master in the future.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Yunqiao died in the northern border region.

Xiao Wuqing also knew Zheng Yunqiao, and his expression changed slightly upon hearing that Zheng Yunqiao was dead.

The disciple from the Training Hall continued, "On the second night after we parted ways with Hall Master Li, that thing caught up with us again. Just like with Senior Brother Zheng Yunqiao, one of our female disciples was suddenly cut in half at the waist and lay on the ground screaming in agony. We tried to save her, but then someone else was cut in half at the waist. We were so scared that we could only run away..."

"I fled south from the northern border, and that thing kept chasing me. By the time I reached the border of Cangzhou, I was all alone..."

At this point, he couldn't help but cry, his voice filled with fear.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingqiu suddenly remembered something and brought up the Daoist tradition panel again.

A few breaths later, his eyes turned dangerous.

He couldn't find the disciple's portrait, which meant that the disciple was already dead.

Who was the person sitting in front of him?

Seeing him crying so sadly, Xiao Wuqing comforted him, "You've returned to Qingxiao Sect, don't be afraid. That thing won't chase after us anymore, but you have to make it clear, did you not see it at all?"

Upon hearing this, the disciple from the Training Hall looked up, wiped away his tears, and said nervously as he recalled, "I only saw a blurry figure. It was my junior brother's blood that splattered on him, revealing his form. He seemed to have three heads and six arms..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Poof!
Li Qingqiu used his finger as a sword, slashing out with sword energy and severing his head. Blood gushed out from his neck.

Xiao Wuqing's eyes widened, and he froze in shock.

He never expected that Li Qingqiu would directly kill this person.

As Xiao Wuqing watched the disciple's head fall to the ground, his expression didn't freeze; instead, a strange smile appeared on his face.

The disciple's head lay on the ground, his eyes glaring at Li Qingqiu as he grinned menacingly, "I didn't expect you to see through me. You really are a cultivator, and your cultivation level is quite high. That's amazing! Compared to eating ordinary people, I prefer eating cultivators. Your flesh and blood, which are full of spiritual energy, are so delicious. I get excited just thinking about it."

His laughter was wild and wicked, giving Xiao Wuqing goosebumps all over.

Li Qingqiu slowly stood up, looked down at him, and asked, "What is your purpose?"

"Purpose? The purpose, of course, is to devour your entire sect!"

The heads of the disciples in the Training Hall began to turn into blood as they laughed, and their skulls melted away.

Not only his head, but his entire body also dissolved into a pool of dark red blood, emitting a pungent stench.
