From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 52 Late Bloomer, Ancestor of the Immortal Emperors

Li Qingqiu walked up to Jia Yi and stared at him calmly, which filled Jia Yi with fear and despair.

Acupuncture?

Why so fast?
Jia Yi knew the art of acupressure and had seen martial arts that involved striking acupoints from a distance, but Li Qingqiu's reaction and speed of attack far surpassed all the masters he had ever seen.

He had already put a knife to Feng Dai's throat, yet he was still overpowered by the other party in a single move.

Jia Yi could no longer be angry. The absolute disparity filled him with fear. He only wanted to escape from this place. Revenge was no longer on his mind.

Li Qingqiu raised his hand, grabbed Jia Yi's neck with one hand, and slowly lifted him up. Soon, Jia Yi's feet left the ground, and panic showed in his eyes, but he could only tremble and struggle helplessly.

The sight of the domineering Jia Yi being lifted into the air by Li Qingqiu as if he were a chicken had a profound impact on the yamen runners.

Li Qingqiu glanced at Feng Dai and asked softly, "If you want to climb higher and are not afraid of any danger, then come with me. Only you can come alone."

After saying that, he picked up Jia Yi with one hand and walked towards the woods next to him.

Feng Dai's expression shifted between light and dark, but he quickly made up his mind. He turned to the other constables and said, "You all wait for me here!"

He turned and followed Li Qingqiu, but he was already seriously injured and walked unsteadily, as if he would collapse at any moment.

……

thump!
Jia Yi was thrown onto the grass by Li Qingqiu. He lay on the ground, looking up at Li Qingqiu with tension and fear, not knowing what he was going to do.

Now, Jia Yi couldn't even beg for mercy. He could only plead with his eyes for Li Qingqiu to show mercy. At this moment, he had lost the arrogance of the Guardian Guard and only had the desire to survive.

Li Qingqiu stared at Jia Yi, raised his right hand, placed it in front of his chest, and raised his index and middle fingers. His lips moved slightly.

Jia Yi's pupils trembled, his heart raced, and his breathing became rapid.

What does he want to do?
As a member of the Heavenly Guard, Jia Yi had investigated many strange cases in Zhongtian Prefecture and had also seen strange people and events. In his eyes, Li Qingqiu's actions were very much like those unpredictable and mysterious people.

The emperor had several extraordinary individuals under his wing who pretended to be gods and ghosts. At first, he paid them no heed, but he began to respect them only after encountering some things he could not understand.

Ignoring Jia Yi's gaze, Li Qingqiu began to cast the Soul-Binding Spell.

This was the first time he had cast the Soul-Binding Spell.

The Soul-Binding Spell is extremely difficult to master, and even now, he has not fully mastered it. However, it is still easy to use it to destroy Jia Yi's mind.

As Li Qingqiu began chanting the incantation, his pupils seemed to shimmer with purple light, giving him an eerie appearance that made Jia Yi, who was looking at him, feel dizzy.

Jia Yi's vision blurred, and just when he thought he was going to die, a piercing pain suddenly erupted from his body. Then, his internal organs ached, and his limbs began to hurt. In less than three breaths, even his head started to hurt.

The unprecedented pain caused all his internal energy to leak out, knocking the iron needle between his eyebrows away.

"Ahhhh-"

Jia Yi screamed in agony, his whole body curled up, convulsing violently, his eyes rolled back, his face was flushed, and the blood vessels in his neck bulged out, a horrifying sight.

Feng Dai, who was enduring the pain, was startled by Jia Yi's condition, and fear also arose in his heart.

Li Qingqiu didn't even touch Jia Yi; he just made the gesture of a Taoist chanting incantations, yet Jia Yi was in so much pain.
Could it be that Li Qingqiu possesses magical powers?

A chill ran down Feng Dai's spine; he was at a loss for what to do.

There was no one around for miles. Li Qingqiu let Jia Yi roar. He needed to make Jia Yi feel the pain before he could proceed with the next arrangements.

The Soul-Binding Curse is a vicious spell targeting the soul. During its casting, it establishes a connection between the two souls, allowing one to absolutely suppress the other's soul, thus creating a controlling effect.

Li Qingqiu was still unable to extract Jia Yi's soul and turn it into his own ghost, but during the spellcasting process, he saw some of Jia Yi's recent memories through soul connection.

It turns out that Jia Yi came to Qingxiao Gate not only with the emperor's edict, but also for other purposes.

After a while, seeing that Jia Yi was about to die from the pain, Li Qingqiu stopped casting the spell. He threw two iron needles at Jia Yi, who was lying on the ground like a rag doll, to relieve Jia Yi's pain and left behind some special techniques.

Seeing that Jia Yi's trembling had subsided, Feng Dai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was genuinely afraid that Li Qingqiu would torture Jia Yi to death.

Jia Yi's whereabouts were not unknown; at least many people in Blackstone County knew that Jia Yi had come to Qingxiao Sect.

If Jia Yi were to disappear, the imperial court would certainly dispatch a large number of Heavenly Guards to investigate.

Feng Dai originally intended to kill Jia Yi and then figure out how to handle the aftermath. He didn't want a chivalrous sect like Qingxiao Sect to be harmed by villains.

He had often heard about Qingxiao Sect's actions over the past year, which made him understand why Qingxiao Sect dared to take in Wu Baoyu.

Even if it meant sacrificing himself, he was determined to protect the Qingxiao Sect.

He once wanted to change the world with his own strength and vindicate Wu Baoyu, but the truth is that without a background, he couldn't even leave Black Stone County, let alone have any ambitions.

The Qingxiao Sect is different; they will cultivate powerful martial artists whose strength far surpasses his.

"Sect Leader Li, you..."

Feng Dai gritted his teeth and spoke, but before he could finish, he saw Li Qingqiu turn around. He happened to see the eerie purple light in Li Qingqiu's eyes, which stunned him.

This eerie purple light was a lingering sign of the Soul-Binding Curse. As soon as Li Qingqiu turned around, the purple light disappeared.

Li Qingqiu looked at Feng Dai and asked, "Magistrate Feng, do you want to go to the capital?"

Feng Dai snapped out of his daze and asked in surprise, "Of course I want to, but what can I do if I go to the capital?"

"With the connections of the Heavenly Guard, it shouldn't be difficult for you to establish yourself. But I can't guarantee how high you can climb. I'll send you to the capital. You can send someone to write to me every six months to inform me of important events in the capital. If there is an emergency, you can write in advance. I don't need you to take any risks. You just need to be my eyes and ears."

Li Qingqiu's tone remained unchanged, yet it still exerted a tremendous sense of pressure on Feng Dai.

Feng Dai understood that even being a pair of eyes would not be easy, as it was the imperial city, heavily guarded.

Moreover, he knew which news Li Qingqiu wanted to pay attention to.

This trip will completely change his life.

Thinking about his unproductive days in Blackstone County, Feng Dai felt this was an opportunity. Although he didn't know how Li Qingqiu planned to subdue Jia Yi, he was willing to take the gamble, even if it meant death!
“I do!” Feng Dai said in a deep voice.

Li Qingqiu smiled and asked, "Then would you be willing to become my disciple? If you become my disciple, I will not stand idly by if you encounter danger in the future."

Feng Dai was stunned again. He was prepared to be Li Qingqiu's pawn, but he didn't expect Li Qingqiu to want to take him as a disciple. He felt a warmth in his heart.

As expected of the Qingxiao Sect, even in scheming, they try their best to protect their pawns.

Feng Dai was willing to believe in Li Qingqiu, even if Li Qingqiu might not be able to do it.

"Disciple Feng Dai greets Sect Master!"

Feng Dai knelt down and clasped his hands in greeting. Li Qingqiu silently brought up the Daoist lineage panel, opened the disciple details, and found Feng Dai's portrait.

Name: Feng Dai

【Sex: Male】

[Age: 30 years old]

Loyalty (Leader/Sect Leader): 75/86 (Maximum 100)

[Cultivation Aptitude: Mediocre]

[Comprehension: Mediocre]

[Destiny: Late bloomer, fiercely opposed to evil]

[Late bloomers: Starting from the age of sixty, one's comprehension will continuously improve with age]

[Hating evil as if it were their enemy: born with a sense of justice, unafraid of power, and even willing to die for the justice they pursue]

……

Ok?
He has a special destiny!
I rub!

This late bloomer is quite remarkable!

Is there a limit to how much this comprehension can keep improving?

What is the annual growth rate?

Li Qingqiu suddenly wanted to back out and detained Feng Dai at Qingxiao Gate. Of course, he was only thinking about it. He still needed to see what the fate of a late bloomer really was.

"Get up."

Li Qingqiu personally helped Feng Dai up. Whether it was Feng Dai's imagination or not, he felt that Li Qingqiu was very happy after accepting him.

Immediately, Li Qingqiu inserted three needles into Feng Dai's body to treat his injuries, then turned to look at Jia Yi.

After being treated with the Rejuvenating Ghost Immortal Needle, Jia Yi did not fall into a coma, but his consciousness remained weak. The pain from his soul made him feel dazed, as if he were already dead.

“I have placed a curse on you that no one can break. Every three years, you must come to me to lift the curse, or you will suffer excruciating headaches and die in agony like this within seven days. Do you understand?”

Li Qingqiu looked down at Jia Yi, her tone icy and her face expressionless.

Jia Yi looked up at Li Qingqiu, his whole body trembling. He really didn't want to experience that kind of pain again. He said in a trembling voice, "I heard you clearly..."

Li Qingqiu continued, "Just now, while I was casting the spell, I saw your memories. I will write down all your dealings with the Green Cult. You should think carefully before you act. If you work for me, you may live to be a hundred years old. If you oppose me, you will not only suffer, but your entire family will also be executed by the emperor."

Jia Yi stared wide-eyed at Li Qingqiu in disbelief.

He didn't think Li Qingqiu was bluffing him. When Li Qingqiu uttered the words "Qingjiao," he believed that Li Qingqiu had truly seen his memories.

"Please rest assured, Immortal Master... Jia Yi will absolutely not disobey you..." Jia Yi said in a trembling voice.

"From now on, you will also join the Qingxiao Sect and become its secret agent, to atone for your crimes. What do you say?"

"It's all up to the Immortal Master's arrangements..."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingqiu brought up the Daoist panel again and actually found Jia Yi's portrait. It seemed that Jia Yi was terrified.

Name: Jia Yi

【Sex: Male】

[Age: 32 years old]

Loyalty (Leader/Sect Leader): 89/2 (Maximum 100)

[Cultivation Aptitude: Mediocre]

[Comprehension: Unsatisfactory]

[Destiny: Treacherous villain, ancestor of immortal emperors]

[A treacherous and wicked person: selfish, greedy, and arrogant, willing to betray anyone for personal gain]

[Ancestor of the Immortal Emperors: One of his descendants will cultivate to become an immortal emperor, transcending the mortal realm.]

……

When Li Qingqiu saw the treacherous villain, he felt it perfectly described Jia Yi, but when he saw the ancestor of the Immortal Emperor, he was stunned.

What the hell?
How could such a petty person give birth to an immortal emperor?

How evil!

Li Qingqiu hadn't expected that these two people possessed special destinies. He had only taken them into the Qingxiao Sect to monitor their loyalty at all times, so that he would have a plan to deal with them if they betrayed him.
