From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 64 The Reincarnation of a Demon Child
Outstanding, excellent!

A genius comparable to Xu Ning!
Li Qingqiu felt a surge of excitement. The True Martial Body's destiny seemed very strong, but he needed to be careful about the fate of being easily broken. As long as Zhao Zhen grew to the age of sixteen, this could be resolved.

Eleven years to go.

Li Qingqiu couldn't judge how much trouble the easily broken destiny would bring, but his intuition told him that Zhao Zhen's troubles mainly stemmed from the struggle for imperial power.

If Zhao Zhen is allowed to stay at Qingxiao Sect indefinitely, can this be resolved?
I'm afraid Zhao Zhen will cause trouble for Qingxiao Sect.

But then he thought, as long as Qingxiao Sect keeps recruiting disciples, there will always be disciples who cause trouble for the sect. Every choice has its advantages and disadvantages. What he needs to consider now is whether Zhao Zhen is worth the risk.

Zhao Zhen's talent is already comparable to Xu Ning's. Xu Ning is still a minor, yet she can easily defeat the top masters in the martial arts world.

When Zhao Zhen turns sixteen and his comprehension improves further, he will become the most talented disciple of Qingxiao Sect.

Let's take a gamble!
Moreover, Zhao Zhen had already knelt before him, so how could he possibly drive him away?

Li Qingqiu's thoughts raced. He smiled, personally helped Zhao Zhen up, and then lifted her onto his lap.

Zhao Zhen felt a little awkward, but seeing Li Qingqiu's smile, she found it hard to refuse.

Upon seeing Zhao Zhen successfully become an apprentice, Ku Yi bowed to Li Qingqiu and said, "I will be relying on the sect leader from now on."

Li Qingqiu liked Zhao Zhen more and more as he looked at him. He turned to Ku Yi and asked with a smile, "Why don't you two join my sect? Stay here for now, and I'll arrange your work in a few days. You'll share a courtyard with Zhao Zhen."

"Thank you, Sect Master."

Ku Yi and Ku Er responded in unison, Ku Er's expression somewhat complicated, as if he were thinking about something.

Li Qingqiu had no interest in talking to them, so he asked Qin Ye to take them downstairs to settle them in, while he wanted to cultivate a good relationship with Zhao Zhen.

After Qin Ye and the other two left, Li Qingqiu tried to pick Zhao Zhen up, but this time, Zhao Zhen refused no matter what.

"Master, I don't want to be carried. I'm a grown man, not so delicate."

Zhao Zhen broke free from Li Qingqiu's hand, walked to the side, and said earnestly. His voice was very childish, and his words were quite amusing, making Li Qingqiu unable to help but laugh out loud.

"Alright, I respect you. Come on, I'll take you to see something fun."

Li Qingqiu took Zhao Zhen's small hand and walked towards the woods behind the mountain. Li Sijin was still waiting for him in that woods, and he also wanted to see how far Li Sijin's talisman crafting had progressed.

Although Zhao Zhen was young, he was not afraid of the battle when he first came to Qingxiao Sect. Led by his master, he kept asking questions, full of curiosity about everything in Qingxiao Sect. Li Qingqiu naturally answered his questions one by one.

He made up his mind to keep Zhao Zhen by his side from now on, in case anything unexpected happens.

Let Zhao Zhen stay with Ku Yi and Ku Er for a while first, and then do this after they feel at ease.

From now on, he will have two more little followers by his side, Yuan Li and Zhao Zhen.

"The Undying Overlord Body and the True Martial Body, tsk tsk, twenty years from now, the two of us will be famous throughout the world. Won't the disciples in the sect have endless admiration for me?"

Li Qingqiu was really looking forward to it. If a sect wants to become strong, it must constantly cultivate outstanding individuals. He not only hoped that he and his junior brothers and sisters would become stronger, but also hoped that the younger generation of disciples could follow in their footsteps.

However, there is a problem at present.

The question is whether or not to replicate the True Martial Body.

In Li Qingqiu's view, the role of the True Martial Body is to continuously provide the sect with martial arts and immortal techniques, unlike the Heavenly Thunder Spiritual Root which can directly change the physical aptitude and actual combat power.

He doesn't need to specifically practice martial arts or create martial arts immortal techniques; doing so would actually slow down the speed of his cultivation growth.

The opportunity to copy one's destiny is not as easy to trigger as the inheritance reward, so he must use it with caution.

Let's observe first!
Li Qingqiu led Zhao Zhen to the woods behind the mountain. Li Sijin, who was waiting there, saw the two of them and her gaze fell on Zhao Zhen, her eyes filled with scrutiny.

Li Qingqiu had already told his junior brothers and sisters about Yan Lan's identity and what he had entrusted to him, so Li Sijin knew Zhao Zhen's identity.

Li Sijin did not believe what Yan Lan said. She felt that Yan Lan just wanted Qingxiao Sect to protect his son, and that Qingxiao Sect might face more trouble because of this.

That's why Li Sijin disliked Zhao Zhen from the very first glance.

"This kid is so arrogant, he deserves a beating."

Li Sijin stared at Zhao Zhen, thinking to herself.

When Li Qingqiu and the other person came to her, Zhao Zhen looked at her and said, "Sister, you are so beautiful."

Upon hearing this, Li Sijin was taken aback for a moment, then broke into a bright smile and happily exclaimed, "Really?"

He's not annoying, he's actually quite cute.

Li Sijin suddenly changed her opinion of Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen said earnestly, "Really, she's much prettier than the women in our family."

Li Qingqiu smiled as well. He didn't think Zhao Zhen was flattering Li Sijin. Cultivating immortality could change one's temperament. As Li Sijin grew older, she did become more and more beautiful, and she had an otherworldly temperament that most women in the world did not have.

Not only her, but also Li Dongyue, Xu Ning, and Liu Yan were undergoing this change; the higher their cultivation level, the greater the change. "You little brat, you have such a sweet tongue! From now on, in the Qingxiao Sect, your uncle will protect you!"

Li Sijin bent down, stroked Zhao Zhen's head, and said with a smile.

In the Great Li Dynasty, even a master's junior sister must be addressed as a senior uncle.

“So you’re my martial aunt, no wonder you’re so beautiful,” Zhao Zhen continued, making Li Sijin even happier.

Li Qingqiu coughed lightly and said, "Alright, quickly show me your talisman skills."

Upon hearing this, Li Sijin stood up, walked to the side, took out a yellow talisman from her waist, pinched it between two fingers, glanced at Li Qingqiu and the other person, and said with a smug smile: "Junior nephew, watch carefully, don't be scared."

Zhao Zhen opened his eyes wide and stared at her intently. Although he didn't know what she was going to do, he did as she said.

Li Sijin didn't hesitate. She tossed the yellow talisman in her hand into the air, then flicked her finger, sending out a burst of energy that pierced through the talisman and ignited it.

"Ming--"

With a hiss, a silver eagle shadow flew out from the yellow talisman flames, rapidly growing larger and flapping its wings towards the sky. During its flight, it grew larger quickly, and in the blink of an eye, its wingspan exceeded one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters).

Li Qingqiu's eyes lit up; she was amazed by Li Sijin's talisman.

He had thought it would be a low-level spell like creating fireballs or wind blades, but he didn't expect it to be so advanced.

The silver shadow was clearly modeled after Xiao Jiu's figure. It did not dissipate quickly, but hovered in the air above the forest. Its appearance made Zhao Zhen's mouth drop open.

Li Sijin waved her finger, and the silver eagle shadow followed her finger, changing its flight direction. She proudly introduced, "I call it the Spirit Eagle Talisman. Although a talisman can only be used once, it can kill enemies in critical moments."

As soon as she finished speaking, she swung her arm down sharply, and the silver eagle shadow soaring in the air immediately swooped down, snapping tree branches one by one and crashing onto the grass, raising dust. When the dust settled, a crater the size of a water tank appeared on the ground.

"Lightning attribute?"

Li Qingqiu raised an eyebrow and asked, somewhat surprised.

Li Sijin stopped, turned her head to the side, coughed lightly, and said, "Alright, I admit it. I consulted Ning'er. She is indeed a genius and gave me a lot of inspiration."

"How much internal energy is needed to make a Spirit Eagle Talisman?" Li Qingqiu pressed.

Hearing this, Li Sijin felt helpless. She shrugged and said, "It consumed all my internal energy, but it's okay. I can store it in advance. Anyway, I don't fight regularly, so there's no use in saving my internal energy."

It has all the vital energy of the second level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm; no wonder it's so powerful.

Li Qingqiu praised, "Very good, you have made a great contribution. Perhaps your Spirit Eagle Talisman can save the disciples' lives at a critical moment. Write down the method of making this talisman and put it in the Scripture Pavilion in the future."

"Really? Then I'm a genius who can create unique skills too?" Li Sijin asked excitedly.

Jiang Zhaoxia, Xu Ning, and Yang Jueding successively created unique skills, which were collected in the Sutra Pavilion, making her very envious.

Although the Scripture Pavilion is not yet fully completed, the sect has already begun to organize its unique martial arts. To have one's own martial arts techniques included in the Scripture Pavilion would be an immense honor.

"Of course, your Spirit Eagle Talisman is more meaningful than Third Junior Brother's swordsmanship."

Li Qingqiu's words made Li Sijin jump for joy.

Zhao Zhen stared blankly at the pit not far away, her young mind suffering a great shock.

He had already begun practicing martial arts and had witnessed the power of the Heavenly Guardians, but he couldn't understand why that talisman could produce an eagle, and how terrifyingly powerful that eagle was.

Li Qingqiu asked some more questions about the Spirit Eagle Talisman, and Li Sijin answered truthfully.

The Spirit Eagle Talisman was not as widely applicable as he had imagined. The Spirit Eagle Talisman created by Li Sijin could only be used by her. If other disciples used her Spirit Eagle Talisman, they would find it difficult to control it freely and could at most achieve an immediate explosion effect.

Li Qingqiu was not disappointed. He believed that Li Sijin could improve, and this was just the beginning.

Today is a double celebration for him. Zhao Zhen represents the future fighting force of Qingxiao Sect, and Li Sijin's Spirit Eagle Talisman brings Qingxiao Sect closer to the cultivation sect.

In the days that followed, the disciples gradually learned that the sect leader had taken on another disciple, which made them look forward to Zhao Zhen, because the sect leader would not take on disciples easily.

Five days later, Li Qingqiu taught Zhao Zhen the Great Sun Yang Technique.

With the destiny of possessing the body of a true martial artist, Zhao Zhen is bound to learn martial arts. Li Qingqiu is looking forward to him improving the Great Sun Yang Technique into a cultivation method for immortality. In this way, the Qingxiao Sect will have another cultivation method for immortality, which is of great significance.

Zhao Zhen truly lived up to his reputation as a genius. He was already literate, and after only reading the manual twice, he memorized it perfectly. On the same day, he cultivated the unique internal energy belonging to the Great Sun Yang Technique.

From that day on, Li Qingqiu took Yuan Li and Zhao Zhen with him whether he was going up or down the mountain, and his disciples also remembered Zhao Zhen's face.

Zhao Zhen's martial arts talent exceeded Li Qingqiu's expectations. His skill improved greatly every day. Li Qingqiu asked Yang Jueding to test his martial arts skills, and Yang Jueding exclaimed that he was a reincarnation of a demon child.

In Yang Jueding's eyes, Wu Man'er was a peerless genius, one in ten thousand, while Xu Ning's talent was beyond Yang Jueding's comprehension.

Zhao Zhen's appearance once again shattered Yang Jueding's preconceived notions.
