From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 68 Heartless Immortal Fate
"You've mastered it in just one month? Really?"

Li Qingqiu raised his hand to stroke Zhao Zhen's head, and asked with a smile, his tone full of affection.

Although Zhao Zhen was not as sensible as Yuan Li, he did not cause trouble in his daily life. Apart from eating and sleeping, he spent all his time practicing martial arts. This diligent attitude was enough to make Li Qingqiu like him.

Zhao Zhen's eyes widened, and he said, "Master, if you don't believe me, then I'll show you right now!"

Having said that, he raised his hand, preparing to unleash the Divine Dragon Transformation.

Li Qingqiu held him down and smiled helplessly, "How could I not believe you? I'm just amazed by your talent. Perfect timing, I'm going to find that Senior Gu and let him see how far you've progressed with your Divine Dragon Transformation."

Zhao Zhen nodded, then pulled Li Qingqiu down the mountain, even more eager than Li Qingqiu himself.

More and more guest houses were built on Qingxiao Mountain. According to Zhang Yuchun's plan, they were to be built all the way down the mountain road to prepare for taking in disciples in the future. For this purpose, the Qin family and Liu Fanzhou kept sending more money.

As Qingxiao Sect grew larger and larger, Li Qingqiu relented and allowed the Qin family to send five more family members. Liu Fanzhou also sent three nephews. Although they were called nephews, Li Qingqiu felt that these three looked very much like Liu Fanzhou.

Everyone has selfish motives, and Li Qingqiu was too lazy to care. In any case, these family members would only be ordinary disciples after they joined the sect.

As Li Qingqiu descended the mountain, he observed the changes within the Qingxiao Sect. Disciples along the way greeted him with respectful bows.

They arrived at the guest courtyard where Chai Yunshang and Gu Dubao were staying, and happened to see Gu Dubao instructing Chai Yunshang in martial arts.

"Senior Gu, my master is looking for you. Perfect timing, come and see if I've mastered the Divine Dragon Transformation!"

As soon as Zhao Zhen entered the hospital, he made a fuss, which made Gu Dubao and the other man turn around to look at them. When Gu Dubao saw Li Qingqiu, he was overjoyed.

A month had passed, and he still hadn't found an opportunity to meet Li Qingqiu. He almost suspected that Li Qingqiu was going to back out of accepting him as a disciple, but Chai Yunshang told him to wait patiently. Since she wasn't in a hurry, he naturally endured it as well.

and many more!

"What did you say? You've mastered the Divine Dragon Transformation?"

Gu Dubao looked at Zhao Zhen, frowned and asked, "Why is this kid so arrogant?"
He only reaches his waist, yet he dares to claim he has mastered divine skills?
Chai Yunshang sheathed her sword and stared intently at Li Qingqiu.

Li Qingqiu nodded slightly to her, not pretending not to know her.

Without saying a word, Zhao Zhen walked to the side, moved his feet aside, and assumed the starting stance of the Divine Dragon Transformation. Chai Yunshang was also attracted by him.

She hadn't heard Gu Dubao mention the Divine Dragon Transformation, so she didn't have high expectations; she just thought the five-year-old child was rather lively.

Zhao Zhen activated the Great Sun Yang Technique, his internal energy surging from his dantian and flowing through the eight extraordinary meridians. His hands began to swing, the movements not swift, but flowing like water. At such a young age, his every move already possessed the demeanor of a grandmaster.

The moment he made his move, Gu Dubao's expression changed.

Under his gaze, Zhao Zhen began to exude energy, his robes fluttering. Soon, something astonishing happened: Zhao Zhen's feet left the ground, and he slowly rose into the air.

This time, not only Gu Dubao was shocked, but Chai Yunshang also stared wide-eyed, looking as if she had seen a ghost.

Li Qingqiu squinted and saw that Zhao Zhen's aura gradually condensed into a dragon.

A dragon is coiling around me!
Surrounded by dragon energy, Zhao Zhen's face was cold and stern. He looked at Gu Dubao and asked, "Senior Gu, have I succeeded in my training?"

thump!
Gu Dubao knelt on the ground, trembling all over, his face filled with disbelief. He muttered to himself, "How is this possible... Senior, did you see that? The person you spoke of really exists, and he's right in front of me..."

Zhao Zhen frowned. Why did this Senior Gu love kneeling so much?
What a spineless coward!
"Alright, that's enough. If you continue, you'll exhaust yourself."

Upon hearing Li Qingqiu's words, Zhao Zhen immediately stopped practicing his internal energy and landed steadily on the ground.

Zhao Zhen smiled smugly, looking at Li Qingqiu, waiting for his master's praise, but unfortunately, his master ignored him.

Li Qingqiu looked at Chai Yunshang and said, "This isn't the first time we've met, but let's not dwell on the past. Would you be willing to become my disciple?"

He had read the Divine Dragon Transformation Manual, and this ultimate skill was indeed extraordinary. When mastered, the body moved with the breath, and the energy was like a dragon, allowing one to soar into the lake with unstoppable force.

In his view, the Divine Dragon Transformation was about to transcend the realm of martial arts and was of extremely high value. He was looking forward to Zhao Zhen developing the Divine Dragon Transformation into a magic spell.

Chai Yunshang looked at Zhao Zhen and said, "I don't think I'm qualified to be your disciple. Why don't you just accept me as your disciple normally?"

Li Qingqiu was surprised. Even a five-year-old child could understand the difference between a true disciple and an ordinary disciple. She had gone to great lengths to come to Qingxiao Sect, so why did she suddenly change her mind?
Gu Dubao, who was kneeling on the ground, came to his senses and looked at Chai Yunshang with a puzzled expression.

Li Qingqiu had no interest in persuading an outsider. He nodded and said, "Alright, go and register with Elder Zhang Yuchun. Just say that I agree."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the courtyard gate, while turning back to look at Gu Dubao and reminding him, "Senior Gu, the ground is uneven, don't hurt your knees."

Gu Dubao blushed and quickly stood up.

He looked at Zhao Zhen, his expression still somewhat dazed.

After Li Qingqiu and the other person had gone far away, Gu Dubao turned to look at Chai Yunshang and asked in surprise, "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Chai Yunshang remained expressionless and said, "I really don't think I'm qualified to be his disciple. You saw that kid's talent just now. Besides, I think that after joining Qingxiao Sect, my family's control over me might weaken. They can't just come to Qingxiao Sect and kidnap me, can they?"

Gu Dubao thought of the scene where Zhao Zhen had just used the Divine Dragon Transformation and felt that Chai Yunshang's words made sense. Forcing someone to become his disciple might not be a good thing.

However, when he heard what Chai Yunshang said next, he shook his head and chuckled.

Are they here to kidnap someone from Qingxiao Sect?

That's just asking for death!
He had previously told Chai Yunshang that practicing martial arts couldn't change one's fate; it was simply a matter of not being strong enough.

Someone as powerful as the Qingxiao Sect Master would be wiped out if several members of the Chai family joined forces against him.

On the other side, Li Qingqiu took Zhao Zhen up the mountain. Zhao Zhen chattered incessantly, trying to get praise from his master. Unfortunately, Li Qingqiu refused to praise him. He was not disappointed by this, but instead became even more enthusiastic.

It would take time to climb the mountain, so Li Qingqiu habitually brought up the Daoist panel and searched for Chai Yunshang's portrait.

Even if it's just a verbal acceptance of a disciple, as long as the other party agrees, they are considered to have joined the Qingxiao Sect.

Chai Yunshang's panel appeared before his eyes:

Name: Chai Yunshang

【Gender: Female】

[Age: 23 years old]

Loyalty (Leader/Sect Leader): 82/70 (Maximum 100)

[Cultivation Aptitude: Good]

[Comprehension: Mediocre]

[Destiny: A heartless immortal, a talent for punishment]

[Heartless Immortal Fate: From the beginning of their cultivation, they will not enter the path of love, nor will they engage in sexual intercourse with men. Their talent will be enhanced as they break through major realms. When the Heartless Immortal Fate dissipates, unknown consequences will occur.]

[Talent for Punishment: Suitable for administering punishments, impartial and incorruptible, unafraid of any threats]

……

Li Qingqiu almost stopped in his tracks; Chai Yunshang actually had two special destinies.

This heartless immortal destiny seems similar to Feng Dai's late-blooming destiny, both being destinies with potential for growth.

However, if she never cultivates immortality in this lifetime, then this destiny is essentially meaningless.

The talent for administering punishments is also quite good. As the Qingxiao Sect grows stronger, the establishment of a law enforcement department is inevitable.

Li Qingqiu couldn't directly appoint Chai Yunshang, as it would invite gossip from his disciples. So, after seeing Chai Yunshang's profile, he decided to focus on cultivating her, first raising her cultivation level, and then reasoning with her in the future.

The more he looked at the Heartless Immortal Fate, the more he liked it. Although there were more and more disciples cultivating immortality, most of them had mediocre talent, unlike Chai Yunshang, whose future was limitless.

Of course, while he liked it, Li Qingqiu did not want to replicate the Heartless Immortal Fate.

He has no desire to walk the path of heartlessness!

He doesn't want to get married and have children right now because he feels it's not the right time.

Li Qingqiu's mood improved, and he quickened his pace, forcing Zhao Zhen to quicken his pace as well. Soon, the master and disciple began to chase each other.

……

Ten days later, Li Qingqiu arrived at the spirit mine alone. He entered the pit and, after a period of darkness, the tunnel began to light up.

Oil lamps hung on the cave walls on both sides. These were made by the disciples of Qingxiao Sect, and it cost them a lot of money.

After walking about a hundred meters, Li Qingqiu arrived at a fork in the road. The space here was relatively spacious, and two disciples were meditating and practicing their skills. One of them was Bai Ning'er.

When Bai Ning'er and her companion saw Li Qingqiu, they quickly stood up and bowed.

"No need for formalities, please continue your cultivation."

Li Qingqiu left after saying this and continued on his way. Bai Ning'er and the other person didn't think much of it and sat down to cultivate again.

The spiritual energy in the spirit mine is abundant, and every few days someone breaks through their cultivation level, making the other disciples feel the pressure and not want to fall behind.

Li Qingqiu promised that they wouldn't stay here indefinitely, but their future status would depend on their progress in cultivation here.

After walking for a while, Li Qingqiu finally arrived at a vast underground space, which was even larger than the underground spirit lake. Spirit stone pillars stood on the ground, and looking in all directions, the cave walls were inlaid with countless spirit stones of different sizes, including red and purple ones.

Jiang Zhaoxia and more than twenty disciples were meditating and cultivating, each maintaining a certain distance from each other.

Since the discovery of the spirit mine, Li Qingqiu has been sending a disciple every now and then, all of whom have a loyalty level of over 90.

Jiang Zhaoxia opened his eyes and saw that Li Qingqiu had arrived. He immediately got up to greet him.

"Not bad, you've already reached the sixth level of the Nourishing Essence Realm."

Li Qingqiu praised, saying that he could feel the immense energy contained within Jiang Zhaoxia's body.

He knew very well how strong the sixth level of the Nourishing Origin Realm was, and he had experienced it firsthand.

Faced with his praise, Jiang Zhaoxia was not happy, but instead showed a serious expression and said, "Senior Brother, recently, something has appeared outside the spirit mine. The night before last, I went to investigate, but I couldn't find it no matter what I did."

Li Qingqiu did not doubt his judgment, but frowned and asked, "When did it start?"

"It's been about six days."

"Okay, I understand. I'll stay tonight and tell me about the disciples' cultivation progress first."

Li Qingqiu nodded, but in his heart he was thinking, with Jiang Zhaoxia's cultivation level, how could he not find out? Could it be some kind of evil thing?
