Chapter 21 Returning to the Sect (Part 2) I really want to accept you as my personal disciple...
"Master, you have gone to live in seclusion, leaving your disciple here to take care of the internal affairs of the peak." Ever since Elder Ye left, she couldn't help but complain about the complicated internal affairs of the peak.
Chuyun Peak is full of medical practitioners and alchemists who are absorbed in refining pills. All matters have to be reported to Liu Qianhe, which makes her very annoyed.
Chi Wanyin just laughed when she heard that. She then stepped into Zhilan Pavilion. Liu Qianhe was sitting on a rosewood chair. "Junior Sister Wanyin, you're finally here."
Then Liu Qianhe tugged at her sleeve and said, "Help me, your senior sister."
Seeing this, Chi Wanyin couldn't help but smile, "Senior Sister Qianhe, you and I entered the sect in the same year, how come you can't even handle such a small matter?"
Liu Qianhe rarely showed a little embarrassment on his face, "Well... I can't compare with your senior sister."
Yes, Song Qingtang has always been the object of admiration among the disciples. Whether it is cultivation or handling these matters, she seems to be born to do so with ease.
Seeing her like this, Chi Wanyin naturally stopped teasing her, "Okay, if that's the case, how about I help Senior Sister Qianhe with some of her worries?"
Liu Qianhe laughed, "Of course I'd love to have that. By the way, when will you break through to the Golden Core stage?"
Chi Wanyin sighed as she helped her review the jade disc, "I don't know. Although I have completed my foundation building, it seems that the opportunity to enter the Golden Core Realm has not yet arrived."
Liu Qianhe touched his chin and said, "I see. Now, it seems your senior sister is also going to strive for the Golden Core Realm."
Chi Wanyin paused, "Has Senior Sister already gone into seclusion?"
"Of course." Liu Qianhe said seriously, "She never told you?"
Since that day, Chi Wanyin never went to Mingluantai on purpose, so naturally she had no idea that Song Qingtang was in seclusion.
But she quickly regained her composure, "This is also a good thing. I'm afraid Senior Sister will become the youngest disciple to break through to the Golden Core stage."
Liu Qianhe looked at Chi Wanyin's clear eyes and couldn't help but shook his head and laughed, "That's what you said."
After Chi Wanyin finished annotating the jade disc, she was about to say goodbye to Liu Qianhe, but she stopped her, "Junior Sister Wanyin, it's a rare visit. Why don't you have dinner before leaving?"
Liu Qianhe naturally ordered someone to send the meal to Zhilan Pavilion. Chi Wanyin looked at the spiritual rice in the bowl and the spiritual vegetables on the plate. They were better than the food in the dining hall. It must be the special meal that Liu Qianhe cooked for himself.
After the two of them finished their meal, Chi Wanyin finally planned to say goodbye. Liu Qianhe personally escorted her out of Zhilan Pavilion, but he didn't expect that just a few steps away from Zhilan Pavilion, he saw a cultivator falling from the sky.
A formation was set up within the Yantian Sect to prohibit others from entering, but the elders with profound spiritual power did not impose any restrictions. The person who came was Ye Tinghe, who had not been seen for many days since they parted in the Silver Moon Valley.
Seeing Ye Tinghe, Chi Wanyin and Liu Qianhe hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Elder Ye, Master."
Ye Tinghe raised her hand to signal the two of them not to be polite, and then said to Chi Wanyin, "It's been a while since we last met, and I'm glad you've made progress in your cultivation. That's good news."
"Elder Ye, you are too kind." Chi Wanyin just smiled slightly and looked humble.
Ye Tinghe then turned his gaze to Liu Qianhe, "Little Qianhe, have you taken good care of the peak's internal affairs during the time Master has been away?"
Liu Qianhe looked at her with a guilty look, but she still said, "Of course I will deal with it properly."
Upon hearing this, Ye Tinghe rubbed her hair, then let go and said, "In that case, I'll take a closer look." Then he stepped into Zhilan Pavilion.
Liu Qianhe had no choice but to follow Ye Tinghe. Chi Wanyin gave her a look of wishing her well, and then flew away on her sword.
However, before she reached the bamboo house, a crane came with a message: Master Huaiyu wants to see her.
Chi Wanyin felt a little more relaxed. She did have many doubts about the trip to the Vast Sea Secret Realm, and it was also expected that Master Huaiyu wanted to see her.
*
The familiar courtyard is still in front of me, but the once lush pear tree now has a sense of decline for no reason.
Chi Wanyin's eyebrows twitched. Could it be that Master Huaiyu...
Although monks have a longer lifespan than ordinary people, as long as they have not ascended, their lifespan will eventually come to an end.
Chi Wanyin put aside these chaotic thoughts for the time being and slowly walked into the courtyard.
Sure enough, Master Huaiyu was sitting under the tree drinking tea as usual. She must have sensed it since Chi Wanyin stepped into this courtyard.
"Try this tea." Master Huaiyu pushed the teacup in front of Chi Wanyin without haste. Chi Wanyin opened the lid of the cup and took a sip. It was refreshing and cool at first, and seemed to have a sweet aftertaste.
After finishing his tea, Master Huaiyu asked, "Did you encounter any opponents far more powerful than you during your trip to the secret realm?"
Chi Wanyin pondered in silence for a moment before nodding.
"In the past, the sect elders should have led the team forward, but I only assigned the four of you. Crisis and opportunity coexist. Back then, we were also tempered in such dangerous situations where we were almost dead." There was a hint of nostalgia in Master Huaiyu's eyes.
Chi Wanyin said, "Master, are you..." She couldn't utter the rest of the words.
Master Huaiyu raised his hand to signal her not to continue. "Yes, this is why I hope you can grow up quickly. We are old after all, and the future of Yantian Sect depends on you."
Master Huaiyu, on the other hand, was more calm. "Actually, my life span hasn't ended yet, but I did a divination, and that divination is a bet on my remaining life span."
Chi Wanyin had experienced this in her previous life, and although she had known that this would happen, her view of Master Huaiyu was different in this life.
In the past, she always felt that her master favored her senior sister because her senior sister was more talented than hers. Even the position of the head of the sect would be passed on to her senior sister. This was an unspoken agreement among everyone in the sect.
But in this life, Master Huaiyu really wanted to pass on the Taoism to her. Perhaps she also hoped that she could inherit her mantle. Even if Chi Wanyin chose another path, she would not be disappointed.
Master Huaiyu glanced at her and said, "You have already completed your foundation building. As for the opportunity for a breakthrough, I can only predict that it will be in Penglai. It just so happens that it is the birthday of the Penglai Sect Leader. I have some friendship with her. Tomorrow, you can go to Penglai and give her a gift on my behalf."
As he spoke, a jade box appeared in Master Huaiyu's hand, which must have contained the gift.
Chi Wanyin took it and put it away, "Master, I hope Elder Ye can go with me."
Master Huaiyu nodded and said, "You can go."
Chi Wanyin walked out of the yard and caught a glimpse of the cranes playing in the water. She thought that she would not be able to see these little guys for a while after going to Penglai. After thinking about it, she simply threw out a few spirit stones. The cranes quickly picked up the food in their mouths as soon as they saw it. After eating the spirit stones, they did not forget to cry a few times, as if to thank her for feeding them.
Chi Wanyin shook her head and laughed, then went back to the bamboo house. At the moment, she seemed to have nothing to do because she couldn't practice. She originally wanted to make some talismans, but her mind was not clear enough at this time. After she had ruined the fifth talisman, Chi Wanyin got up. She simply took a paper talisman and wrote a short letter, and injected spiritual power into it.
As long as the senior sister comes out of seclusion, the paper talisman will sense it and fly towards Mingluantai.
After doing all this, Chi Wanyin lay down on the bed and took a nap. She got up and left the bamboo house the next day.
She skillfully flew her sword to Chuyun Peak and saw Ye Tinghe standing at the highest point of Chuyun Peak with her hands behind her back. "Master Sister has already told me that we will not take the flying boat to Penglai this time."
Looking at the smile on Ye Tinghe's lips, Chi Wanyin suddenly felt something was wrong.
As Chi Wanyin looked at the ships moored at the seaside port, her sense of unease reached its peak.
The ship was quite magnificent, but it was pulled by a monster.
Seeing her gaze, Ye Tinghe explained, "Penglai is located on the sea, a long way away. It's more suitable to travel by water than by flying boat. As for this monster, it's just an ordinary flying fish monster in the sea."
Indeed, the monster pulling the boat was no different from an ordinary sea beast except that it was a little bigger in size. It was probably just a very common species.
"Let's go and get on the boat." Ye Tinghe invited.
The two of them got on the boat, and the flying fish monster naturally felt it and pulled the boat towards the sea ahead.
Chi Wanyin and Ye Tinghe stood on the side of the boat, feeling the sea breeze on their faces and only hearing the sound of waves.
Chi Wanyin looked at the birds flying in the sky and asked with a puzzled tone, "Elder Ye, what kind of person is the head of Penglai?"
Ye Tinghe yawned, "Tan Yinxiao? She's such a boring and rigid person."
Chi Wanyin remained silent until she changed the subject, "But she's no simple person. After all, some say she's over two thousand years old but hasn't aged at all. Furthermore, she's already reached the Spiritual Transformation Realm. Perhaps only the head sister can rival her."
Although the appearance of a monk will not change, just like Master Huaiyu who has white hair and a youthful face, it is a wonder that he has not shown any signs of aging even after a thousand years.
"Is that so..." Chi Wanyin said thoughtfully. In her previous life, she knew very little about Penglai. After all, this group had lived on the sea for a long time and had always kept a low profile.
Seeing her like this, Ye Tinghe smiled again and said, "Apart from Penglai Island, there are also the neighboring Yingzhou and Fangzhang Islands. However, because of Tan Yinxiao, these two islands only follow her lead."
Chi Wanyin frowned slightly. For some reason, she had a vague feeling that this trip to Penglai would not be as simple as she had expected.
Ye Tinghe could naturally see that her expression was not right, so she comforted her: "What are you afraid of? I am here with you." She was already in the Nascent Soul stage, and she felt that protecting a Foundation Establishment disciple was not a difficult task.
Chi Wanyin nodded, "Yes, with Elder Ye here, there's nothing to worry about."
Ye Tinghe was very happy to hear this, "You have good taste. If you were not the disciple of the head sister, I would really like to accept you as my personal disciple."
Chi Wanyin just smiled and didn't say anything when she heard that. Ye Tinghe also stopped talking and just looked at the sea outside the boat.
