Chapter 5 - Unreliable Senior Brother
Darkness dissipated as morning arrived. Warm sunlight shone down, illuminating the entire Xuanyi Mountain.
As usual, Luo Weiwei dressed and washed up before walking towards the cliff behind the mountain.
A month ago, Luo Weiwei"s mother had unfortunately pa.s.sed away due to a serious illness. Before she died, she handed the "Pure Yang True Technique" to her. She also told her that she absolutely could not let outsiders know of its existence.
After her mother pa.s.sed away, Luo Weiwei suffered cold treatment and bullying. From then on, she understood that if she wanted to be respected by others, she had to become a legendary cultivator.
Therefore, in order to become stronger, Luo Weiwei, who had nowhere to go, chose to join the Xuanyi Mountain Sect.
With her powerful cultivation talent, she successfully pa.s.sed the entrance examination..
As the Pure Yang True Technique had a very strong imitating function, even the teachers of Xuanyi Mountain Sect could not tell what cultivation technique she was cultivating.
It wasn"t long before Luo Weiwei found a superb place to cultivate, a cliff.
This cliff faced the sun every morning. It was the place with the richest pure Yang energy in the entire Xuanyi Mountain. Cultivating here for one morning was equivalent to cultivating for half a month!
This was also the reason why Luo Weiwei was able to make successive breakthroughs in such a short period of time and step into the middle-phase Yellow Stage. After all, she had only cultivated for a month.
To be safe, Luo Weiwei carefully observed the surroundings around the cliff, including the empty courtyard. After confirming that no one would come, she began to cultivate in peace.
However, Luo Weiwei had not come for a few days because her mentor in the Xuanyi Mountain Sect was teaching her Martial Dao lessons.
Unexpectedly, when she came here to cultivate again, a youth suddenly appeared, who looked about the same age as her.
At first, Luo Weiwei thought that he was also a disciple of the sect and was just pa.s.sing by.
But on the second day, the youth appeared again!
What was even more unexpected was that with a single glance, he could actually see that the cultivation technique she cultivated was not the Clear Void Scripture. This was no less than a heavy bomb to Luo Weiwei.
Therefore, her first thought had been to kill and silence him.
Unfortunately, she was far from being the youngster"s match.
The young man"s name was Qin Jue, and he lived in the courtyard by the cliff. Although it was a little strange, the young man had let her go and specially warned her not to tell anyone about cultivating the Pure Yang True Technique and allowed her to continue cultivating there.
Ha, only a fool would continue to cultivate there!
…
However, after a night of thinking, Luo Weiwei finally decided to continue cultivating by the cliff.
Firstly, the pure Yang energy at the edge of the cliff every morning was too rich. It was not inferior to an ordinary Spirit Marrow Lake. She was unwilling to give this up so easily.
Secondly, Luo Weiwei really didn"t think Qin Jue was a bad person. Otherwise, he wouldn"t have let her go.
With this thought in mind, she cultivated by the cliff for several days. Although she didn"t know Qin Jue"s true ident.i.ty, she was certain that he was definitely not an ordinary disciple.
After all, how could ordinary disciples do nothing all day long?
When she arrived at the blue stone, the sun had just risen, and Qin Jue had yet to wake up. Luo Weiwei sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.
The dazzling light shone on the girl"s body, making her look exceptionally pure, almost blending into the surroundings.
The True Pure Yang Technique was known as a top cultivation technique that was very masculine. Although Luo Weiwei was a girl, she was very compatible with it. At every moment, large amounts of pure Yang energy would surge into her body before transforming into spirit energy.
Apart from those focusing on spirit qi, there were all sorts of strange cultivation techniques in the Spirit Central World. For example, the Star Guiding Art of the Stargate Sect could absorb the power of the stars for its own use, as well as some rumored demonic sects that could absorb the power of pure Yin.
In short, regardless of what sort of cultivation method it might be, it was all for the sake of becoming stronger.
As the sun gradually rose, the surrounding pure Yang energy became denser. Luo Weiwei was expressionless as she methodically circulated her cultivation technique. She remained motionless like an old monk in meditation.
Time flew by. After an unknown period of time, Luo Weiwei let out a turbid breath and opened her eyes. She found Qin Jue lying on the lawn like a few days ago, leisurely drinking wine.
"Finish cultivating?" Qin Jue asked without looking up.
The girl nodded, but she was worried that Qin Jue wouldn"t be able to see, so she responded with a "Yup".
"See you then." Qin Jue unceremoniously ordered the girl to leave.
Luo Weiwei: "…"
"Don"t you need to cultivate?" The girl did not leave but asked carefully.
"No need."
Qin Jue was slightly surprised. Ever since he exposed the girl"s true thoughts last time, this was the first time she took the initiative to talk to him.
"Why?"
"Because I"m strong," Qin Jue answered truthfully.
"How strong?" The girl looked curious.
"I don"t know." Qin Jue shrugged his shoulders.
"Hmph, forget it if you"re not willing to say."
Qin Jue was very helpless about this. He really didn"t know how strong he was.
After a long hesitation, the girl spoke, "Tomorrow, I"m going to the Black Forest with my mentor. I won"t be coming for the next few days."
"Isn"t the Black Forest very dangerous?" Qin Jue frowned.
The Black Forest was an enormous mountain forest, also known as the "Fiend Beast Mountain Forest". There were all kinds of strange fiend beasts living there, and some of them had even reached the Heaven Stage, making them extremely dangerous.
"Yes, but this trip is very important. All the new disciples have to partic.i.p.ate. Elder Wu will personally lead the team, as well as several mentors," the girl said seriously.
"Elder Wu…?" Qin Jue frowned and pondered for a long time before remembering who the elder was.
Elder Wu Ying, one of Bai Ye"s disciples. Qin Jue hadn"t seen him for a long time.
After a long while, Qin Jue said, "I understand. Be careful."
Luo Weiwei: "…"
…
"Tai Chi flows from my left hand, and a sword thrusts from my right. My sweeping kick is called Clear Snow, and my qinggong is called Flying Swallow…"
Qin Jue leaned against the blue stone and sang while drinking wine. He was extremely relaxed.
If all the transmigrators were compared, Qin Jue believed that he should be the one with the most comfortable life. Not only did he not need to cultivate, but he also inexplicably became the most powerful existence in this world.
Compared to those unlucky people who had to cultivate for thousands of years, who were forced to break off their marriages, were humiliated, or even lost their p.e.n.i.ses, Qin Jue was simply too lucky.
Just as Qin Jue closed his eyes and prepared to sleep comfortably, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.
"What is it?" Qin Jue subconsciously raised his fist.
"Wait! Junior Brother, it"s me!"
"Which shadow—!" Qin Jue"s fist froze. Only then did he clearly see that the shadow in front of him was actually Bai Ye.
"What are you doing here?" Qin Jue suddenly had a bad premonition.
"What are you saying? I"m your senior brother. Of course I have to visit you often. Otherwise, if you died here one day, no one would know," Bai Ye sat down next to Qin Jue and said matter-of-factly.
Qin Jue: "…"
"If you have something to say, say it quickly!"
Bai Ye immediately said, "I have a disciple who accidentally ate the medicinal pill that I refined. He squatted in the toilet for three days and three nights and was completely exhausted…"
"What does this have to do with me?" Qin Jue couldn"t help but interrupt. Then he seemed to remember something and said in surprise, "This disciple you"re talking about, could it be Wu Ying?"
"How did you know?" Bai Ye was astonished.
Qin Jue: "…"
Qin Jue knew of Bai Ye"s pill refining skills, but he didn"t expect that the thing he refined could actually torture an Earth Stage cultivator until he collapsed.
Seeing Qin Jue"s silence, Bai Ye continued, "Originally, I wanted him to bring his disciples to the Black Forest to train, but now, he can"t even stand straight, and the others don"t have the time, so I want to ask Junior Martial Brother to…"
"No!" Qin Jue refused without hesitation.
"Junior Brother…"
"No means no." He did not want to partic.i.p.ate in such boring activities again.
Bai Ye gritted his teeth and shouted while blowing his beard and glaring, "Qin Jue! As the sect master of Xuanyi Mountain, I order you to lead the disciples to the Black Forest to train. Otherwise, I will punish you to face the wall for three years!"
"Hehe." Qin Jue sneered, not taking Bai Ye"s threat to heart at all.
"Junior Brother, I"m begging you, okay?" Bai Ye instantly deflated as he cried.
"Where"s Zhang Jichen?"
"He also ate the pill that I refined…"
Qin Jue: "???"
Without waiting for Qin Jue to speak, Bai Ye hastily said, "The other elders are all in closed-door seclusion. Otherwise, I absolutely wouldn"t disturb Junior Brother. Please help me this time."
Sighing, Qin Jue helplessly nodded. "Alright."
