Chapter 45 My Junior Brother's Happy Life (Part 3) My Junior Brother, I'll Spoil Him...
This ordinary town called Chang Le is tens of thousands of miles away from Baiyun Sect. With Song Ce's current cultivation level, it only took him a day to fly to the foot of Baiyun Mountain without any effort.
As expected of one of the three major sects, the White Cloud Sect, perched atop the misty White Cloud Peak, resembles a sacred land emerging from a fairyland, quietly overlooking the common people below.
Song Ce slowly stepped into the mountain gate of Baiyun Sect. What came into view was a magnificent white jade wall. The wall was carved with the graceful figures of the founders of Baiyun Sect flying on swords. It was as if the founders would break out of the wall at any moment and continue to guard Baiyun Sect.
Just as he stepped over the stone wall, a faint red spiritual pattern flashed on both sides. In less than three breaths, two Qi Refining stage disciples of the White Cloud Sect flew over on their swords and blocked Song Ce's path.
"Who goes there? This is the gate of my White Cloud Sect. No unauthorized persons are allowed to trespass!" one of the slightly thin disciples shouted loudly. Although his voice was a little immature, his face was full of authority.
Song Ce smiled slightly and said to the two Qi Refining stage disciples in a very good-natured manner, "My name is Junming. I have come here to find my younger brother."
Upon hearing the name "Jun Ming," the two disciples exchanged a glance. They had only recently begun their cultivation at the White Cloud Sect, and the name Jun Ming was completely unfamiliar to them. Although the newcomer showed no trace of spiritual energy, he possessed a title, suggesting he was no ordinary mortal. Moreover, his open and frank self-proclaimed name... The slightly overweight disciple scratched his head, a puzzled look on his face, and asked, "Jun Ming? Never heard of him. Who is this younger brother you're looking for...?"
Before the slightly chubby disciple could finish his question, the thin disciple tugged at his sleeve. The reason was simple: this disciple had noticed the two top-grade spirit stones attached to Song Ce's jade pendant.
The thin disciple immediately said respectfully, "Fellow Daoist Junming, please wait in the outer hall. There is a celebration in the sect today, and we are afraid that we may neglect you. May we ask your name and which elder's disciple you are? We can go and find him."
Upon hearing this, Song Ce smiled slightly: "Oh? I didn't know that your esteemed president has some joyous occasion today?"
"This is the grand ceremony for the elders of our sect to accept disciples, and today is..." Before the thin disciple could finish speaking, Song Ce interrupted, "What a coincidence! My younger brother is a disciple of Daoist Changmi of the Baiyun Sect. Since your sect has a joyous occasion today, I cannot come empty-handed."
After a moment of contemplation, Song Ce flipped his hand and took out an exquisite nine-story glazed pagoda from the vast sea. Instantly, a rich and pure spiritual energy spread outwards from the nine-story glazed pagoda.
The gaunt disciple stared in disbelief at the nine-story glazed pagoda before him. The entire pagoda was carved from top-grade spirit stones!
What an extravagant gesture!
Although the slightly chubby disciple had never seen any treasures before, he could tell that this thing was very valuable.
The moment the tower was revealed, the two disciples' eyes widened, their mouths gaped open, and their swords involuntarily drooped.
The gaunt disciple stammered, "May I ask... Senior Junming, is this... is this a top-grade spirit stone? And... is it also a tower-shaped magic treasure?"
Song Ce smiled slightly: "I came out in a hurry today and only brought this nine-story glazed pagoda with me. It's a cheap gift."
"Senior! Please follow us!"
As the three flew on their swords, the thin disciple flattered them, saying, "Daoist Changmi is the Seventh Elder of our sect. I imagine your younger brother must be one of the Seventh Elder's most promising disciples, with a future that is limitless."
"Then I'll take your kind words, young friend."
Two disciples from the White Cloud Sect led the way. The slightly chubby disciple asked in a low voice, his face full of shock, "Senior Brother Bai, I... I've been in the White Cloud Sect for so long, and this is the first time I've seen such a precious treasure. Just who is this person?"
"You're asking me? Who should I ask?" Bai Yi secretly glanced at Song Ce, who had a calm expression. "Junior Brother Chen, this person must be someone of great importance. Now that you and I are able to receive such a distinguished guest for the sect, the elders will surely remember our merit. They might even reward us with a bottle of Foundation Establishment Elixir!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ziyin swallowed hard and nodded quickly: "Then we must perform well in front of our seniors!"
Looking at the two figures talking in hushed tones in front of him, Song Ce asked, "Where does Daoist Changmi reside? You two young fellow Daoists can simply take me there. I want to give my younger brother a surprise, since my brother and I haven't seen each other for a long time."
"This..." Bai Yi hesitated, "My junior brother and I are not disciples of the Seventh Elder. If the Seventh Elder blames us, how can we bear the responsibility..."
Suddenly, a jade bottle of emerald green appeared before them. Song Ce raised an eyebrow and said, "This jade bottle contains Foundation Establishment Pills. I see that you two have already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and will soon be able to establish your foundation. Consider these Foundation Establishment Pills as a thank you gift for guiding you along the way!"
Bai Yi: "..."
Chen Ziyin: "..."
"Senior Brother Bai, this...this is a Foundation Establishment Pill?" Junior Brother Chen's voice trembled, and his hands hanging down in his sleeves were shaking slightly.
Bai Yi instinctively took it, his right hand gripping the emerald green jade bottle tightly as if it would fly away at any moment. "Senior, this...this is too precious!"
You must understand how precious Foundation Establishment Pills are to disciples like them who are stuck in the Qi Refining stage. They originally thought that the sect would reward them with a bottle of Foundation Establishment Liquid for their meritorious service, but they never expected that this senior would give them a whole bottle of Foundation Establishment Pills! With it, the two of them will definitely be able to advance steadily to the Foundation Establishment stage, and unlike Foundation Establishment Liquid, it will not have any side effects.
"It's just a bottle of Foundation Establishment Pills."
"Thank you for the pills, senior! The Seventh Elder lives on Deyi Peak not far away. Please follow me, senior!" Bai Yi quickly put the bottle of Foundation Establishment pills into his storage bag and exchanged a glance with Chen Ziyin. This senior, who seemed to be an ordinary person, could see through their cultivation level at a glance, and was generous and extraordinary... This person's background must be extraordinary.
Halfway there, Chen Ziyin bowed and said, "Senior, I will first inform the sect leader and all the elders that our Baiyun Sect will certainly not neglect our honored guest."
Song Ce nodded slightly, and Bai Yi continued, "I wonder how long you have been with my Baiyun Sect, senior? I have had some dealings with the senior brothers of Deyi Peak, so I might recognize you."
"It's been five years."
Seeing that this generous senior was unwilling to say more, Bai Yi tactfully changed the subject and began to introduce the history and origins of the Baiyun Sect.
Meanwhile, Chen Ziyin arrived at the spacious training ground, where the Baiyun Sect Master and the elders sat high on the viewing platform, their expressions showing a hint of satisfaction.
"Seventh Brother has indeed recruited a few promising talents this time," said Qing Sui, the sect leader of Baiyun Sect, stroking his beard with a smile.
"It's all thanks to the sect leader's consideration." Daoist Changmi's gaze swept over the new disciples below the stage. "This time, our Baiyun Sect has gained quite a few outstanding juniors. In the future, who will dare to look down on our Baiyun Sect?"
As soon as Daoist Changmi finished speaking, Chen Ziyin's master hurriedly led him up to the high platform, bowed anxiously, and then whispered a few words in the ear of the sect leader Qing Sui.
Upon hearing this, Qing Sui asked in surprise and doubt, "Is it really true?"
"Of course it's true, Sect Leader. This was witnessed by my disciple himself. Now that our esteemed guest has..."
Qing Sui coughed lightly and said to the elders beside him, "Everyone, we have distinguished guests visiting the White Cloud Sect today, and we cannot be impolite. Seventh Brother, you lead the way to your Triumph Peak." After saying that, he got up and quickly left the viewing platform.
The other elders exchanged bewildered glances, secretly speculating. A distinguished guest who could be personally received by the sect leader must be of extraordinary status, but why would the sect leader go to the Peak of Pride?
Could it be that...
Relying on Qing Sui's favor towards him, Daoist Changmi asked directly, "Sect Leader, why do we go to my Triumph Peak instead of the main gate to receive our distinguished guest?"
"Then I shall ask you." Qing Sui said with a smile, "Just now, a disciple of yours came to report that this distinguished guest is a family member of one of your disciples, and has come today with valuable treasures to congratulate the Baiyun Sect."
“Family…?” Daoist Changmi pondered for a while, but still had no clue. He had many disciples on his peak, and sometimes even he couldn’t remember their faces. But if it was one of the disciples under his name with a background, someone he always valued, then it must be one of them.
Thinking of this, Daoist Changmi smiled and said, "This is indeed my fault as the master. I should have brought my disciples to the mountain gate to welcome you."
However, when they arrived at Deyi Peak, they were all dumbfounded.
...
Just as Song Ce and Bai Yi stepped into Deyi Peak, a child's cries echoed from within. His heart tightened, and he sped off in the direction of the sound.
"Senior! Senior! Perhaps some child is being disobedient. We should wait outside..." Bai Yi swallowed his unfinished words as Song Ce's powerful aura emanated from him.
In a secluded training ground on Deyi Peak, Song Ce witnessed a scene that enraged him. His young junior brother was kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear. Several older disciples surrounded him, and the tallest of them stepped forward, grabbed the boy by the collar, and said viciously, "You little rascal, how dare you steal the spiritual fruits from the peak?"
The dog's eyes were filled with tears, and it timidly shook its head: "I didn't steal it. This fruit fell on the ground, and I picked it up."
"Hmph, picked it up? Did anyone see it? Taking something without asking is the act of a thief!" another fat disciple said, kicking the dog.
Song Ce appeared before everyone in an instant. With a wave of his wide sleeves, a powerful spiritual force swept out like a surging wave. The disciples who were bullying Gou'er were instantly sent flying several feet away. Even though he had restrained himself, the spiritual force of a peak Integration Realm cultivator was enough to give those disciples a hard time. They crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out blood, clearly suffering serious injuries.
"How dare you!" Song Ce's voice was chilling, his eyes radiating a terrifying coldness. He slowly walked towards the disciples, and with each step he took, the surrounding air seemed to be ignited by flames, and the invisible pressure caused the training ground floor to crack.
The disciples were terrified, their faces pale and their bodies trembling. The tallest disciple in the group, barely able to stand, cried out, "Senior...Senior, we don't know where we offended you. Please spare our lives! Spare our lives!"
"Spare me?"
