"A martial arts meeting?" Li Changan curled his lips. "A bunch of boredom-filled bastards..."
Nezha brought a cup of tea and placed it on the stone table. He couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what is a martial arts meeting?"
Li Changan took a sip and nodded with satisfaction.
Putting aside her talent for cultivation, this girl's tea-making skills are indeed getting better and better.
"These are just some idle old idiots who came up with these things to gain fame in Beizhou."
"You also know that there are countless holy places and sects scattered hundreds of thousands of miles away in Beizhou. A hundred years ago, because of the ascension of our master, Taixuan Sect was promoted to the top ranks of holy places. But when it comes to foundation, our Taixuan Sect can only be ranked last." Li Changan patiently explained to Nezha.
"Listed alongside our Taixuan as holy places for righteous cultivation are Beitianmen, Sifang Pavilion, Chaoyang Ancient City, and Aries Academy."
"Aries College is the highest institution of learning in Beizhou. It is moderate and peaceful. Although it participates in various affairs of Beizhou, it rarely takes a clear stance. Meanwhile, Sifang Pavilion and Chaoyang Ancient City have always been led by Beitianmen. For hundreds of years, they have not recognized a newly rising holy land like us."
"The so-called martial arts gathering is simply a way for each sect to send some of their disciples to travel around and show off their skills to demonstrate their sect's status. It happens roughly every fifty years. The last time was fifty years ago, and that was the first time our Taixuan Sect participated in the Northern Continent Meeting. If it weren't for our Ninth Peak at that time, hehe... I'm afraid the Taixuan Sect would have been kicked out of the ranks of holy places."
Nezha squatted on one side, resting his chin on his hands, listening with great interest.
"Go, get some melon seeds!"
"Oh." The little girl ran out with her pigtails swinging, and soon came back with a plate of melon seeds and several spiritual fruits from Taixuan Peak in her hands.
Li Changan sighed.
It seems that ever since this girl came to the Ninth Peak, my food has become worse...
"We really made too much noise this time. Otherwise, those self-righteous people from Beizhou would never have chosen our Taixuan Sect as the venue for the meeting." Li Changan shook his head. "If this were to happen, our Taixuan Sect would have to open its doors to the outside world. Who knows, some blind bastards might have their eyes on our Taixuan Sect."
"Especially our Ninth Peak."
Li Changan looked up, helpless, "What a hassle..."
"Brother, why would they target our Ninth Peak? Could it be because of the strange phenomenon in heaven and earth that occurred when I was building my foundation?"
"That's not all." Li Changan sighed. "Our Taixuan Sect was originally a second-class sect in Beizhou. But in Beizhou, where no one had successfully ascended for a thousand years, this old man broke the precedent a hundred years ago. After the old man ascended, I don't know who spread the news that our Ninth Peak hides the secret of cultivators' ascension. Finding this secret will open the gate to heaven."
Li Changan cursed angrily, "What a bullshit rumor! It's even spread throughout the entire Northern Continent. Hey, the strange phenomenon that happened when our Ninth Peak penetrated the sect protection formation earlier actually confirmed this theory, which is why it led to this meeting and martial arts demonstration so quickly."
"These people want to come to our Ninth Peak to search for treasure..."
Nezha looked around. Aside from the dense, lush, and densely packed sword bamboo, there were only a few reeds. Anyone who suggested there were treasures here was clearly not very smart.
"Brother, just go ahead and look for it. What's there to be afraid of?"
Li Changan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh, "Yeah, if they want to come treasure hunting, then let them come. We're already in this situation, why should we be afraid of thieves?"
After figuring it out, Li Changan suddenly felt relieved. If this good thing was really found thanks to someone, he would have to thank that person very much.
"No, no, what if that group of thieves can't find the treasure and take their anger out on me?" Li Changan thought about it and became depressed again.
It's still because of your weak strength. If you were a great cultivator at the Anti-Void and Hedao realm, would you still worry about someone harming you?
Or maybe...
Li Changan flipped over with a swish, "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have let the bird go down the mountain. Now look what it is, it doesn't even have a thicker thigh..."
"No, I have to find a way to contact them and see where those ungrateful people are. I wonder if they can still come home in time to support me..."
Nezha watched Li Changan running into the attic in a hurry and couldn't help but sigh.
This senior brother is really out of tune...
After a while, Li Changan ran back with a very unhappy look on his face, "Those bastards are unreliable. Brother, I've thought about it and decided that the responsibility of protecting you still falls on you."
Nezha covered his forehead with his hands, with an expression that said, "As expected."
"Let's stop practicing for now. Senior Brother will take you out for a walk."
Nezha stood up in response. From what his senior brother said, they were going to rob other peaks again. He didn't know if they would be driven out.
Nezha thought as he walked.
I'm only thirteen years old, and I'm already following my senior brother, but I've already lost face that shouldn't be lost at this age...
Li Changan's target this time is Chiyan Peak, one of the Nine Peaks of Taixuan. Chiyan Peak is similar to Danyang Peak. They both cultivate branch meridians. Danyang Peak is good at refining pills, while Chiyan Peak is good at refining weapons. Although its peak master Qin Huang is only in the realm of entering the spirit, and is the weakest peak master in the entire Taixuan Nine Peaks, his face is not weaker than that of the peak masters of other peaks.
The so-called practice is not just about cultivating yourself. After reaching a certain level, cultivating tools is even more important than cultivating methods.
To put it bluntly, when traveling in this world, having an amazing spiritual treasure is not just a matter of face, it can save your life at a critical moment.
Coincidentally, Qin Huang is very good at refining this kind of spiritual treasure. Not only Qin Huang, but also Wang Mingyuan, the first disciple of Chiyan Peak, is also a genius in this field.
But what Li Changan didn't expect was that before he stepped within ten miles of Chiyan Peak, he saw the huge Chiyan Mountain Gate slam shut with a bang.
"I'm going to do this, what does this mean?"
Li Changan was stunned. Was his reputation really that bad? They'd already closed the door and sent him away before he even reached the entrance?
"Brother, we don't seem to be very popular."
Nezha's voice came from afar.
Li Changan felt his face burning. Senior Brother Wang Mingyang was rubbing his face on the ground in front of Junior Sister Nezha. He had never been slapped in the face like this since he was a child in Taixuan Sect. If this got out, he would be laughed at by everyone in Taixuan Sect.
"Hmph, you don't know what's good for you!" Li Changan turned around with gritted teeth, took out a metal speaker with a round opening from behind him, and put it to his mouth.
Then he gathered his energy and roared.
"Master Qin Huang, your disciple Wang Mingyuan peeped at Senior Sister Yuheng from Shuihan Peak bathing..."
Swish!
Before Li Changan could finish his words, a fiery red figure rushed down from the top of Chiyan Peak and covered Li Changan's mouth with one hand.
"Boy, you want to die!"
Wang Mingyuan looked around guiltily and saw that there were not many people watching the fun. He put his hands on the shoulders of Li Changan and Nezha, and flew up to Chiyan Peak one by one with a whoosh.
