From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 62 Famous throughout the world
In front of the mountain gate, Li Qingqiu stood on the steps, watching Jiang Zhaoxia and others ascend the mountain surrounded by their disciples. The large group made the mountain path seem narrow.

Jiang Zhaoxia remained aloof and unsmiling, while Li Sifeng was beaming with pride, enjoying the adulation of his disciples. Seeing that his two junior brothers were unharmed, Li Qingqiu was completely relieved.

"Big Brother!"

When Li Sifeng saw Li Qingqiu from afar, he immediately waved his arm and shouted. He rushed towards the mountain gate, while the other disciples escorted Jiang Zhaoxia, Wu Man'er, and Cheng Canghai to the steps and then stopped.

Since the three courtyards behind the mountain gate were renamed Lingxiao Courtyard, ordinary disciples are no longer allowed to enter without permission, and this rule has been implemented.

"Senior Brother, I heard you defeated the invading martial arts army. Let me tell you, we also deserve credit. On the way back, we dealt with quite a few gangs that were trying to reach Qingxiao Sect..."

Li Sifeng approached Li Qingqiu and began to speak eloquently, his hands on his hips, displaying youthful vigor.

Li Qingqiu listened with a smile as he boasted about his achievements.

Jiang Zhaoxia stepped forward, pressed Li Sifeng's face from behind with her right hand, pushed him aside, and then said to Li Qingqiu, "The Qing Cult has been destroyed by us. I personally killed its leader, and even their headquarters was burned down. Although some remnants escaped, they are no longer a threat. Moreover, we also destroyed the five branch headquarters of the Qing Cult."

No wonder it was destroyed; both the main headquarters and branch headquarters were wiped out by Jiang Zhaoxia and Thirteen Swords.

Li Qingqiu smiled with satisfaction and said, "You are all meritorious individuals. Today, the entire sect will hold a banquet to celebrate with you."

Li Sifeng and Wu Man'er cheered immediately, and Jiang Zhaoxia smiled and walked into Lingxiao Courtyard first, followed closely by Cheng Canghai, who just wanted to eat roast chicken.

"Senior Brother, I have something to tell you. Can you come with me?" Li Sifeng said mysteriously.

Li Qingqiu was filled with anticipation, but his expression remained unchanged. He nodded and then said to Wu Man'er, "Man'er, go and rest first. You've worked hard these past few days."

"Hehe, it's not hard work."

Wu Man'er scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly, then walked towards Lingxiao Courtyard.

Li Sifeng pulled Li Qingqiu down the mountain, and the disciples they encountered along the way all bowed to Li Qingqiu.

The news of Li Qingqiu's great battle with the Seven Fiends of the Demonic Sect has spread throughout the Qingxiao Sect, inspiring all disciples to admire him.

They had always thought Jiang Zhaoxia was the strongest person in Qingxiao Sect, but they never expected that the sect leader also had extremely high martial arts skills.

After a short while, Li Sifeng led Li Qingqiu to a deserted grove of trees. The winter snow was melting, and the snow on the ground and grass glistened with moisture.

"call out--"

Li Sifeng whistled, then turned to look at Li Qingqiu, asking in confusion, "Senior Brother, why aren't you curious at all?"

Li Qingqiu didn't ask him anything along the way, which annoyed him greatly. He even wanted to give Li Qingqiu a big surprise.

"When it set foot on Qingxiao Mountain, I, your senior brother, already sensed it. How did you encounter it?" Li Qingqiu asked, feigning mystery.

Li Sifeng had no doubts. Ever since Li Qingqiu taught them the Hunyuan Scripture, in his mind, Li Qingqiu was the most powerful, even his third senior brother couldn't compare.

"On the way back, we passed through a forest. I was urinating when I heard Bai Ning'er scream. I rushed over without even tightening my pants and found her. She was badly injured. After I helped stop the bleeding, she became attached to me."

Li Sifeng answered, gesturing wildly to vividly depict the scene.

really.

The lucky one struck again.

Li Qingqiu grew increasingly fond of Bai Ning'er. Previously, Bai Ning'er had followed Li Sifeng down the mountain and found him a magical artifact. Now, she had also found an auspicious creature. She was truly a lucky star.

He didn't intend to separate Li Sifeng and Bai Ning'er. He always felt that Li Sifeng's personality and destiny would encounter a lot of trouble, and with Bai Ning'er around, she would definitely be able to help him turn danger into safety.

The Daoist panel gave Li Qingqiu the feeling of playing a game, but real life is not like that. He cannot let his junior brothers and sisters stay on the mountain forever. He treats his disciples the same way. Each disciple has his own personality and his own pursuit. Just like Qin Ye, who carries the high hopes of the Qin family, he is destined not to stay in Qingxiao Sect for life. Sooner or later, he will have to join the army, make meritorious achievements, and bring glory to the family.

As the two brothers were chatting, the bushes in the distance swayed, the snow on the trees on both sides was shaken off, and a huge creature slowly stepped out.

Li Qingqiu turned her head and her eyes lit up immediately.

What a magnificent Qilin!
A qilin covered in dark red scales walked through the grass. It was two meters tall at the shoulder and ten feet tall at the head. Its body was slender, and its scales were like blades. Its two horns were like two red swords, extremely sharp. Its four hooves were burning with flames, and the tip of its tail was also wrapped in flames, like a lion's tail, swaying slightly.

It has a pair of dark golden eyes, sharp and indifferent, full of pressure. Just by standing there, it exudes the demeanor of a divine beast.

The qilin approached Li Qingqiu and his companion at a slow pace, clearly wary of Li Qingqiu.

Li Qingqiu sensed a very strong power within it, similar to primordial energy, much stronger than a martial artist's internal energy, yet fundamentally different from primordial energy.

Even such a powerful Qilin could get injured. What happened to it before?
Li Qingqiu thought to himself, but he was not afraid because of this, because although the Qilin was strong, it did not make him feel dangerous.

"How about it? Isn't it majestic? I named it the Prison Qilin. Doesn't it seem like it came from the underworld?" Li Sifeng asked excitedly. Li Qingqiu exclaimed, "Indeed, but I don't feel it's that evil. It's more like an auspicious omen. Its arrival will bring good fortune to the Qingxiao Sect."

The Prison Qilin seemed to understand human nature. Upon hearing Li Qingqiu's words, its eyes softened, and it quickened its pace to approach the two. It began to rub against Li Sifeng, making deep, muffled breathing sounds.

Looking at it like this, Li Qingqiu felt that it was still young.

Is it still a minor?
"You'll take care of it from now on, and don't let it show itself in public," Li Qingqiu instructed.

For the next year, he did not plan to let Li Sifeng go down the mountain, which would be a good opportunity for Li Sifeng to feed the Prison Qilin.

“No problem, senior brother. Isn’t my Prison Qilin more impressive than your Little Eight?” Li Sifeng raised his chin and looked at Li Qingqiu with a provocative expression.

Li Qingqiu smiled and said, "Little Eight is just an ordinary eagle, how can it be compared to a Qilin?"

Letting the Prison Qilin live on Qingxiao Mountain might help prevent some enemies from sneaking in.

Hearing Li Qingqiu's praise, Li Sifeng was even happier, and Yu Qilin became even more excited.

……

The Spring Festival that year was very lively. Qingxiao Sect had been celebrating ever since Jiang Zhaoxia, Li Sifeng and others returned.

The Qingxiao Sect seized a considerable amount of money, weapons, and secret manuals by killing the invading martial arts figures. Most importantly, this battle greatly boosted the confidence of the entire Qingxiao Sect. The disciples realized that their sect was very powerful and could easily withstand even a joint attack from the three major sects.

In the days that followed, more and more people, pilgrims, and martial arts practitioners came up the mountain. The people came to send their children to become disciples, the pilgrims came to try their luck after hearing the legend of the Five Primordial Immortals, and the martial arts practitioners came to make friends after hearing about the Qingxiao Sect's achievements.

As the winter snow on Taikun Mountain completely melts, people come up the mountain every day, making Qingxiao Gate even more lively.

At noon that day, three hundred miles away from Qingxiao Mountain, in a mountain stream, Li Qingqiu stood on a cliff, looking down.

Following his gaze, below the cliff was a huge cave entrance leading underground. Four of the Seven Masters of Qingxiao stood at the edge of the cave entrance, their bodies in danger of being swallowed by the darkness at any moment.

Li Sifeng ran out of the darkness, looked up at Li Qingqiu, and shouted excitedly, "Senior Brother, there really are spirit stones! There are more than in the underground spirit lake, there are countless spirit stones!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingqiu's lips curled up; he was not surprised.

His discovery of this spiritual mine was naturally guided by the memories of his good fortune.

Because this place is far from Qingxiao Sect, he had to prepare for a period of time and select another group of trustworthy disciples to come.

He decided to establish a base here, allowing some of his true disciples to reside here and guard the spirit mine. For this purpose, he also brought Jiang Zhaoxia, Li Sifeng, and Bai Ning'er with him.

The spirit mine is crucial to the future of Qingxiao Sect, and Li Qingqiu values ​​it highly. It must be guarded by Jiang Zhaoxia. From now on, Jiang Zhaoxia will cultivate in the spirit mine, which will not only help his cultivation grow rapidly, but also help him resist external enemies. Li Qingqiu will not be able to feel at ease relying solely on Li Sifeng.

In addition to Bai Ning'er's lucky fate, Li Qingqiu was able to return to Qingxiao Sect with peace of mind.

"I understand. Call them all up. I have something to tell you," Li Qingqiu replied. In Fu Yuan's memory, he had already been down into the cave, so he wasn't curious.

Upon hearing this, Li Sifeng immediately went into the darkness to summon Jiang Zhaoxia and the others.

As Li Qingqiu pondered how to protect the spirit mine, the Qingxiao Sect was causing a great shock in the martial arts world, and a martial arts storm unprecedented in Guzhou since the establishment of the dynasty was about to erupt.

And Qingxiao Gatekeeper will become famous throughout the world in one fell swoop!
……

Nestled in the mountains, beside the official road, sits an inn. Five tables are set up outside the inn, and people are sitting around each table.

The woman in black who had led Li Qingqiu to the Seven Mountains Alliance sat at a table on the edge, opposite an old man in a gray robe. At this moment, the two were listening to other martial arts figures recount the major events that had recently occurred in the martial arts world of Guzhou.

"The Seven Mountains Alliance, the Green Sect, and the Iron Mountain Peak are among the seven major sects. They led many experts from second-rate gangs to besiege the Qingxiao Sect with great momentum, reportedly numbering in the tens of thousands. Yet, they were easily defeated by the experts of the Qingxiao Sect. It's unbelievable."

"Yes, I heard that the Dragon-Subduing Hero Yang Jueding joined the Qingxiao Sect with his divine skills."

"But the most powerful person in Qingxiao Sect is not Yang Jueding. There is a woman named Xu Ning who killed Juexue Dao Dian Ming. Juexue Dao had been in seclusion for more than ten years and was once the number one martial artist in Weizhou. Such a master died at the foot of Qingxiao Sect. Xu Ning's name will surely resound throughout the martial arts world."

"That's nothing. Jiang Zhaoxia is even more outrageous. He led his thirteen disciples to storm the Qing Sect and destroyed its headquarters. The sect leader, protectors, and elders were all killed by him. It is said that Jiang Zhaoxia also wiped out the Qing Sect's branch. This Jiang Zhaoxia is too terrifying. No one in the Guzhou martial arts world has ever achieved such a feat. He almost single-handedly destroyed the Qing Sect, one of the seven major sects. I suspect that Jiang Zhaoxia is even more powerful than Yu Zhiyi now. He is the number one martial artist in Guzhou!"

The martial arts practitioners at the other tables were very excited, all talking about the Qingxiao Sect. When they mentioned Jiang Zhaoxia and Xu Ning, their tone was full of awe and admiration.

The gray-robed old man withdrew his gaze and looked at the woman in black, sighing, "The martial arts world has undergone tremendous changes. I never expected that after Lin Xunfeng, the Qingxiao Sect could produce an even more powerful disciple. From now on, the Qingxiao Sect will be among the seven major sects. Miss, I advise you to give up your idea and not to seek that legendary martial arts skill. I do not want to die in the Qingxiao Sect."

The woman in black had a complicated expression; she hadn't expected the Qingxiao Sect to be so powerful.
