Chapter 122 Entering Taixu Sect
Chapter 122 Entering Taixu Sect
Qiuqiu nodded, and then heard the young man's excited voice: "Senior, can you set up a soundproof barrier?"
Qing Heng stepped forward with the child and casually waved his hand to form a barrier. The young man didn't hesitate, stating his purpose directly: "Senior, I have all the herbs needed to refine the Jade Medallion Pill. I can give them all to you, including this Jade Chrysanthemum, in exchange for just one Jade Medallion Pill." He added, "I will obtain the Jade Medallion within three days." His calm tone would have been more convincing if he hadn't noticed his clenched and trembling hands.
Qiuqiu glanced at Qingheng and realized he wasn't taking it seriously at all. A full pill contained ten pills, and while it only gave herbal ingredients, not spirit stones, it would normally return two or three pills. Now, with only one, Qiuqiu was getting a bargain. Furthermore, the Jade Chrysanthemum was still alive, and he didn't have any of the herbs in his own space. He could just use a few petals to refine a pill for him without affecting the plant's vitality.
The transaction was completed. Qiuqiu put away the auxiliary medicine and was using the jade box to collect the last jade chrysanthemum cup when a commotion came from the side: "Mu Yuan, you actually sold the jade chrysanthemum cup that your seventh uncle exchanged his life for and didn't give it to your thirteenth sister! How could you do this!" The grief-stricken look on his face made it seem that the young man called Mu Yuan had done something extremely abhorrent.
The young man lowered his head and said nothing. That very dramatic voice sounded again, this time directed at Qiuqiu: "Everyone, judge for yourself. As a descendant of the Mu family's side branch, he enjoys the protection of the main family. Three years ago, he was tested to have fire and wood spiritual roots. With the connection of our main family, he entered the Taixu Sect's Danfeng. He failed to draw Qi into his body for three years and was sent back. Now Thirteenth Sister has entered the Danfeng. She is a promising seedling for alchemy and needs this Jade Chrysanthemum Lamp. We are still supporting his half-dead father, and he actually sold the Jade Chrysanthemum Lamp. How can this be justified!"
This outpouring of true feelings was met with indifference from many people around, with only some people shopping showing a hint of interest in the gossip.
It seems that many people know what is going on, but this person has the support of Taixu Sect, and most cultivators are indifferent, so no one comes out to discuss it.
Qiuqiu felt annoyed when he saw the scene in front of him. He threw down a medium-grade spirit stone and sent a message to Mu Yuan: "Tomorrow morning, get the Jade Marrow Pill from this place." After that, he didn't want to pay attention to these people anymore and went shopping. He just didn't have the same interest as before.
Arriving at the inn, Qing Heng noticed that Qiuqiu was in a low mood and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qiuqiu, "So you think the Taixu Sect has the best reputation. After all, I'm a human, so I want to find a big sect to rely on. Looks like we'll have to have a serious discussion tomorrow, eh!"
"Don't worry, I will always be your steadfast support!" After saying that, he was about to hug the beauty in his arms to comfort her, but he saw Qiuqiu, who was originally unhappy, took out a big bag of snacks and happily ate them with the two little dragons.
Qing Heng: This routine won't work! The Overbearing Prince and the Alluring Concubine doesn't work for me. I guess I need to change the book I'm studying! I need to buy some more storybooks to study.
After the two little dragon cubs fell asleep, Qiuqiu began to refine the elixir. She had never refined this kind of unconventional elixir before. It seemed that it was very common for the main family to attack the side branches. As the patriarch of the family, she had always taught win-win situations. This kind of suppression would make it difficult for the family to develop in the long run and would easily lead to internal strife. This was the source of disaster for the family.
The next morning, Qiuqiu saw the young man who had been forbearing but now a little paranoid, and gave him a top-grade chalcedony pill. After he took the pill and examined it, surprise flashed in his eyes. He wanted to say something to Qiuqiu, but finally said, "Thank you. I will return the mid-grade spirit stone when I have the chance." Qiuqiu waved his hand indifferently.
Qiuqiu and Qingheng brought their two children to the gate of Taixu Sect. Inscribed on a massive black jade stone were the three characters "Taixu Sect," a majestic and ancient sight. Qiuqiu was about to take a closer look when Qingheng quickly stepped in front of her. "Just kidding! My mind is so unstable! I almost lost myself trying to comprehend a formation last time. Who knows if reading the words left by such a powerful being will damage her mind? He never wanted to go through those days of worry again."
At this time, a young man in white came up and saluted Qing Heng and the others: "I am Yun Qing, the eldest disciple of Elder Xu from Danfeng. I pay my respects to Senior Qing Heng."
Qingheng nodded, and saw Yunqing looking back. He only stayed on Qiuqiu for a moment, and then looked at the two children, as if looking for something, with disappointment unconsciously in his eyes.
Yun Qing: "Senior Qing, welcome to Danfeng with your family. Master has been waiting for you at the foot of the peak. Please come in."
Qingyun took out a silver jade identity card. He couldn't see the other side clearly. The side facing the ball had the same three big characters "Taixu Sect" as on the black jade tablet outside. There was also a Dan Ding symbol below it, which was probably the symbol of a Danfeng disciple. It was exactly the same as the Dan Ding embroidery on the right side of his white Taoist robe.
Passing through an invisible barrier, they came into view, a long staircase. Looking up, they saw mountains surrounded by white mist. Before they could even admire it, Yun Qing summoned a glazed feather fan—a flying spiritual artifact! Major sects were truly extraordinary. A disciple in the early stages of the Golden Core stage possessed a flying spiritual artifact. Alas, envy and jealousy filled the air.
The five of them soared steadily into the air. This time, Qiuqiu's sharp eyesight allowed him to spot countless peaks, large and small. From a closer distance, he could even make out a few houses perched atop some of them. He didn't know if it was because the Taixu Sect valued nature or was truly poor, but these houses couldn't compare to the magnificent courtyard of Qingheng, where Qiuqiu had been nurturing her pregnancy, or even the Dharma houses she'd usually used for rest stops. Most of the dwellings he saw were simply caves carved out of the mountains.
Within a quarter of an hour, the group stopped at a spot halfway up a mountain. The surrounding hilltops were covered in lush vegetation, and on some of the lower slopes they passed by, numerous first-, second-, and third-tier medicinal herbs were casually planted. Although messy, they looked like they were regularly tended. A closer look revealed a bamboo or thatched house half-hidden among the dense medicinal fields.
As for the other places, no one was seen. I don't know if it was because Taixu Sect was vast and sparsely populated, or if Yun Qing was deliberately avoiding crowded places. Regardless, no one approached me along the way. Even when I saw other disciples from afar, those who could fly were heading towards their destinations, while those who couldn't fly were doing their own things. Even some of the lower-level Qi Refining disciples were flying on docile white cranes.
Qiuqiu was still observing his surroundings when he heard a clear voice echoing in his ears: "I am Dan Ling, the head of Danfeng, and I, along with the other elders, welcome you, Senior Qing. Please come in." After that, he bowed slightly in a gesture of invitation. Only then did Qiuqiu realize the status of a supreme elder who had reached the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Transformation Realm in the eyes of cultivators.
This person was on par with the sect's Grand Elders, the strongest in this plane, and a member of the Azure Dragon clan, renowned for its formidable combat prowess. Qiuqiu could understand that statement; even without seeking help from others, he was still a powerful backer. He was truly just stating the facts.
