From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 47 Thousand Spirit Blessed Land
Half an hour after parting ways with Yan Wujin, Li Qingqiu finally arrived at the Land of Fortune. He stood in the forest, gazing at the giant tree in front of him that resembled a mountain, his eyes displaying an unusual gleam.

Sunlight streams down, transforming into thousands of rays that pierce through the gaps in the leaves, making the meadow appear mesmerizing.

Following Li Qingqiu's gaze, the giant tree in front of them created a clearing with a diameter of over two hundred feet. As if in a dream, vines hung from the branches of this giant tree, and upon closer inspection, one could see that these vines bore fiery red fruits, each as large as an adult's fist.

The grass under the trees was lush and green, swaying gently in the wind like green waves.

Standing here, Li Qingqiu actually felt spiritual energy no less than that of the underground spiritual lake, which greatly excited him.

This place can also be used as a place for spiritual practice!
The spiritual energy emanates from the giant tree, meaning that this giant tree can continuously generate spiritual energy, no wonder it is called a treasure of heaven and earth.

Li Qingqiu stepped forward. Although it was a stroke of good fortune, he remained vigilant, as getting injured would be disastrous.

As he walked to the tree, his feelings became even more profound. It was as if he were facing a mountain wall. He placed his hand on the tree trunk and gently stroked it.

His eyes suddenly widened, and he looked somewhat surprised.

He could actually feel a life force emanating from the tree, and even a power similar to primordial energy surging within it.

Has this tree become a spirit?
Li Qingqiu subconsciously stepped back. He saw a vine slowly approaching him. For some reason, he felt that the vine meant him no harm. This feeling was strange, but real.

He stopped, raised his right hand, and touched the vine with his fingers. Although it was a vine, it was actually almost as thick as his waist.

Sunlight shone on Li Qingqiu, and as he looked at the vines in front of him, a smile gradually appeared on his face.

……

As noon approached, Li Qingqiu staggered into the hospital. He saw Zhang Yuchun and Zhang Yu sitting together. Zhang Yuchun was talking about something, while Zhang Yu was taking notes.

He passed by the table and tossed a secret manual to the table.

"I won't eat lunch, so don't call me."

Li Qingqiu did not stop and walked straight towards the forest behind the mountain.

Zhang Yu looked closely and read aloud, "Great Sun Yang Technique?"

Zhang Yuchun picked up the manual, flipped through a few pages, turned to Li Qingqiu, and asked, "Where did this manual come from?"

"I found it on the mountain."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qingqiu's figure disappeared into the path leading into the forest.

Zhang Yu seemed to be deep in thought, muttering to himself, "I feel like I've heard of this manual somewhere before, but that's strange, I can't remember where."

Zhang Yuchun didn't pay much attention, put the manual aside, and continued to record the current production of various grains of Qingxiao Sect with Zhang Yu.

the other side.

Li Qingqiu walked all the way to Jiang Zhaoxia. Today, Jiang Zhaoxia did not go to the underground spiritual lake. After teaching Thirteen Swordsmen, he hid away to practice as always.

"Third junior brother, come with your senior brother tomorrow."

As Li Qingqiu walked forward, he spoke as he walked. He sat down in front of an old tree, keeping a distance of three zhang from Jiang Zhaoxia.

Jiang Zhaoxia opened her eyes, looked at Li Qingqiu, and asked, "Are you going to hunt down the Absolute Saint Sect?"

Li Qingqiu's lips twitched, and she rolled her eyes at him, saying, "Senior brother, am I that bloodthirsty?"

"Isn't it?"

"I think you're asking for trouble. There's something good happening tomorrow, and you're the first person I'll think of. Don't be so moved you'll cry."

"Hehe, I never shed tears."

"Really? When you were little, I spanked you and you cried so loudly. Yu Chun and Dong Yue should still remember that."

"Senior brother, you've gone too far!"

Seeing Jiang Zhaoxia angry, Li Qingqiu felt instantly relieved. It had been a long time since he had bickered with his junior brother like this, and he missed it quite a bit.

Jiang Zhaoxia didn't want to keep discussing this topic, so he pressed Li Qingqiu to tell him what good thing it was, but unfortunately, Li Qingqiu refused to say, leaving him with no choice but to give up.

……

At dawn, Li Qingqiu saw Jiang Zhaoxia waiting for him as soon as he went out.

"Why are you so slow? With your skill level, do you still need to sleep in?" Jiang Zhaoxia said with dissatisfaction.

Li Qingqiu walked up to him, patted him on the head, and said, "In front of your disciples, you should address me as Sect Master."

Jiang Zhaoxia pouted, which made the other disciples in the courtyard secretly sigh. The cold and ruthless Jiang Zhaoxia only acted like this in front of the sect leader.

Afterwards, Li Qingqiu led Jiang Zhaoxia down the mountain.

An hour later.

The two walked through the thick fog and arrived at the giant tree. Jiang Zhaoxia stared at the tree and couldn't help but widen her eyes, unable to maintain her usual cold demeanor.

"This……"

Jiang Zhaoxia was deeply shocked. He never expected that such a large tree was hidden in the deep mountains and forests behind Qingxiao Sect. Moreover, the spiritual energy here was so abundant that it was no less than that underground spiritual lake.

Li Qingqiu smiled and said, "I call this tree the Thousand Spirit Tree, and from now on this place will be called the Thousand Spirit Blessed Land. It is one of the secrets of Qingxiao Sect. Any disciple who wants to come here to cultivate must get my permission. You can cultivate here first and leave after you break through to the fifth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm."

Jiang Zhaoxia took a deep breath, looked at Li Qingqiu, and asked, "Why not let Xu Ning go first? Her talent is better than mine."

Li Qingqiu glared at him and snorted, "What are you talking about? Does that mean that whenever a disciple with more talent than you appears, all the good things in the sect will be given to them before you? My most important goal in developing Qingxiao Sect is for the seven of us to go further. No matter what, the seven of us will always be the ones who benefit the most from the sect, followed by the other disciples." Jiang Zhaoxia was very moved, but he still kept a straight face and said, "What kind of sect leader is that?"

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and practice your skills. My disciple is still young and a girl. In the future, we will still have to rely on you for fighting."

"understood."

Jiang Zhaoxia glanced back at the Thousand Spirit Tree, then found a spot to begin meditating.

Li Qingqiu then climbed the Thousand Spirit Tree and began to observe it. There was still so much he wanted to know about this tree.

It was autumn, but the Thousand Spirit Trees showed no signs of withering or turning yellow, and the nearby woods were equally green and full of life.

What Li Qingqiu was most curious about was the wonderful use of the fruit of the Thousand Spirit Tree.

There were at least a thousand fruits on the Thousand Spirit Tree, and there were even many rotten fruits on the ground. He decided to find a livestock to test the Thousand Spirit Fruit.

Jiang Zhaoxia was not far from the fifth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm, and it only took her six days to reach the Thousand Spirit Blessed Land, where she successfully broke through without rest or sleep.

When Li Qingqiu returned to Qianling Blessed Land, Jiang Zhaoxia told him the news, which made him very happy.

However, Jiang Zhaoxia raised his sword, pointed it at Li Qingqiu, and laughed spiritedly, "Senior brother, it's been a long time since we sparred. Why don't we have a match?"

In the past, Li Qingqiu might have avoided battle, but now he's itching to try his hand at fighting.

Clang——

Li Qingqiu drew the Tianhong Sword from his waist, a smile playing on his lips. "Junior brother, don't cry if you lose."

"Senior brother, I've never lost!"

Jiang Zhaoxia rushed towards Li Qingqiu in one stride, and Li Qingqiu did the same.

The two swords clashed, their eyes met, and sparks flew between them. Both wore excited smiles.

With a powerful leap, the two jumped backward in unison. This leap spanned the autumn season, and suddenly a heavy snow began to fall, covering the Thousand Spirit Blessed Land.

The two charged at each other again, their figures intertwined, constantly wielding their swords. Their swordsmanship was exquisite, their movements agile, and it was difficult to tell who was better.

Since Jiang Zhaoxia broke through to the fifth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm, the two have often sparred here, and two months have passed.

Li Dongyue and Li Sijin sat cross-legged under the tree, opening their eyes to look at them.

"Go, Third Senior Brother!"

Li Sijin shouted, but these words did not encourage Jiang Zhaoxia; instead, they made him feel annoyed.

He discovered that no matter what sword moves he used, Li Qingqiu could handle them with ease, and even counterattack with the same sword moves.

He even felt like he was sparring with another version of himself, which was absurd.

He understood that he wasn't fighting against himself, but rather that his senior brother's swordsmanship was superior to his own, allowing him to easily see through his moves.

A little over a month ago, he would have felt frustrated, but now, he will only be inspired to fight even harder.

Defeating his senior brother has become his goal!

Li Dongyue looked at Li Sijin and said, "Focus on your cultivation. Don't think you can relax just because you've reached the second level."

That's right, the two of them have reached the second level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm. They have spent most of their time here in the past two months. Even Zhang Yuchun was pressed into the underground spiritual lake by Li Qingqiu and broke through to the second level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm yesterday.

As they began to cultivate diligently, power naturally shifted towards the disciples. Under Yang Jueding's guidance, the Seven Masters of Qingxiao and Qin Ye also began to take charge, sharing the burden with Zhang Yuchun and others.

Zhang Yuchun and the others didn't understand why their senior brother was in such a hurry for them to reach the second level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm, but since their senior brother told them to do so, they could only obey.

After being urged by Li Dongyue, Li Sijin could only close her eyes and concentrate on her cultivation.

She was closest to Li Dongyue, and she was willing to listen to Li Dongyue.

After sparring for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Li Qingqiu stopped, flicked his sword with one hand, and smoothly sheathed the blade.

Jiang Zhaoxia gasped for breath, looking at Li Qingqiu, whose breathing was steady, and said, "Senior brother, after the New Year, I will take the Thirteen Swordsmen down the mountain for training. I will be back in three months at most."

Li Qingqiu knew why he wanted to undergo training. Seeing the determination in his eyes, Li Qingqiu could only say, "I have only one requirement: not a single one of these thirteen disciples can be missing."

Jiang Zhaoxia smiled and said, "Of course, they are my disciples. Even if I die, I will not let them die."

"Fine then, but make sure you're safe first. I won't let you die."

Li Qingqiu shook his head and said that he was not too worried about Jiang Zhaoxia going down the mountain to seek revenge. Back then, Jiang Zhaoxia was only at the third level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm and was able to defeat Lu Fuhu. Now that he has reached the fifth level of cultivation, how could he be defeated?

It is worth mentioning that one of the Thirteen Sword Masters had already received his skills from Li Qingqiu and had reached the first level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm.

That was Xue Jin, the leader of the Thirteen Swordsmen.

Li Qingqiu used the excuse that Qin Ye had humiliated him to find him and taught him the Hunyuan Scripture to make amends.

In fact, Li Qingqiu wasn't trying to make up for him; rather, he already possessed considerable talent for cultivation, and Li Qingqiu simply couldn't bear to let him waste his time.

After chatting with Li Qingqiu for a few minutes, Jiang Zhaoxia went to the side and began to meditate to recover her strength.

Li Qingqiu stood still and whistled. Soon, the woods on the east side trembled, and two dark figures flew out of the woods, circled in the air, and then pounced on him.
