Chapter 53 Where is Song Yinren? Suggestion: Danque Peak recruits people.
Song Yin received a bunch of rewards and a mission involving thousands of pills, then returned to Danque Peak dejectedly.
He has to improve his cultivation, practice swordsmanship, refine pills, and also find a way to collect spirit stones to customize his natal sword. Good heavens, he has no free time at all. Even if he wants to ascend to immortality, he shouldn't be doing it like this.
After much thought, Song Yin decided that she should take a vacation. During her rest time, she wouldn't need to absorb spiritual energy specifically, as her Pure Spirit Body could automatically absorb spiritual energy 24 hours a day without interruption, and her cultivation wouldn't fall too far behind.
As for alchemy and swordsmanship, I put them all out of my mind for three days, no, for a week!
She went back to her room, lay on the bed, and added a soundproof barrier. Whatever happened, she just wanted to get some sleep and make sure no one disturbed her vacation.
Song Yin thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but she fell into a deep sleep a few minutes later.
On the other side, at Wujian Peak.
Qi Zibo was still waiting for Song Yin to return after receiving her reward from the sect leader.
He left the matter of the third-grade pill to Song Yin, and he estimated that it wouldn't be long before Song Yin would come and cause trouble for him.
"It's already this late, why hasn't he come back yet?" Wen Zhiling asked Qi Zibo.
Qi Zibo: "Wait a little longer. She'll definitely yell at me again today and then refuse to refine pills for the sect."
Wen Zhiling thought more deeply: "Won't Yinyin be angry if we do this suddenly? After all, she's still young, only a teenager."
“In our cultivation world, she’s considered young; in the mortal realm, she’d be ready to go on a blind date and get engaged. Just wait a bit longer; she’ll definitely come and cause trouble today.” Over the years, Qi Zibo had gotten a pretty good grasp of his disciple’s temperament.
Giving her the task of refining third-grade pills was not for any other reason than to let her get involved in the affairs of Danque Peak as soon as possible.
"Master."
A shout came from outside the courtyard.
Both of them looked outside. Wen Zhiling said, "You've worked hard teaching those disciples today. Come and have a cup of tea."
It wasn't Song Yin. Qi Zibo withdrew his gaze and continued to wait.
Shen Yuzhu came in and poured himself a cup of tea. "Thank you, Master. Where is Junior Sister?"
Wen Zhiling: "She went to the main peak for something, she'll be back in a bit."
Shen Yuzhu: "That's perfect. I'm going to spar with my junior sister and see if her swordsmanship has deteriorated during this time."
The three sat together, talking about the day's events and waiting for Song Yin to return. The sun, high in the sky, gradually set, bathing Wujian Peak in a warm orange glow.
The three people sitting under the plum tree gradually became uneasy.
Shen Yuzhu got up and walked out, "I'm going to go find my junior sister."
Wen Zhiling: "Are you angry? It's all your fault. I told you she's still young and I'd teach her about Danque Peak's affairs slowly. I'd let her refine all the third-grade pills. How could I not be angry?" The Nascent Soul stage sword cultivator slapped the alchemist on the back, not stopping his strength, making the alchemist wince in pain.
Qi Zibo rubbed his back. "My fault, my fault. Yuzhu has already gone to look for her. I guess she's either still on the main peak or holed up in the alchemy room on Danque Peak."
After waiting for a while, Shen Yuzhu returned.
Qi Zibo looked behind him and asked, "Where is he?"
Shen Yuzhu shook his head: "I searched all over Danque Peak but no one was there. I went to her courtyard to call for help, but there was no response. So I went to the main peak, but the disciples there said that my junior sister had left the main peak a long time ago."
Qi Zibo's expression changed. "Oh no, is he really angry?" He quickly raised his hand to calculate.
Although their divination skills are not as good as Elder Su of Xuanji Peak, they are more than capable of finding someone.
Wen Zhiling was also startled and quickly began to calculate.
Qi Zibo: "Still at Danque Peak."
Wen Zhiling: "At Danque Peak."
They both answered at the same time.
Shen Yuzhu: "But I really couldn't find anyone on Danque Peak."
Wen Zhiling: "Let's go take a look together."
The three of them searched around as well, just as Shen Yuzhu had said.
They had no choice but to calculate it again, and then stood inside Songyin Courtyard.
Qi Zibo observed carefully and was speechless after discovering the problem: "She set up a soundproof barrier in the yard."
Wen Zhiling was somewhat worried. She always felt that Qi Zibo had upset the child, and now the child was holding a grudge against them.
Shen Yuzhu asked the two elders, "Should we break the soundproof barrier?"
Wen Zhiling: "You guys wait outside, I'll go in and take a look."
After saying that, he pushed open the door and went inside to find Song Yin.
She searched the meditation room and study but found no one there, so she stepped into the bedroom.
After entering the bedroom and taking a few steps, Wen Zhiling stood in front of the bed, first stunned and then unable to help but laugh out loud.
"puff."
I thought he was angry, but it turned out the little rascal was sleeping.
Wen Zhiling took a quilt from the cabinet and tiptoed to cover Song Yin with it.
This child doesn't even know to cover himself with a blanket when he sleeps.
She sat on the edge of the bed and her gaze shifted to Song Yin. She reached out and took off the hair ornament from Song Yin's head, then used her spiritual energy to place it on the dressing table.
I don't know how tired she was, but she fell asleep on the bed without even taking off her headdress.
After finishing everything, Wen Zhiling left the bedroom and gently closed the door behind her.
"Is Junior Sister inside?" Shen Yuzhu asked hurriedly when she saw her master come out.
Wen Zhiling: "Let's go, Yinyin is sleeping, don't disturb her."
Qi Zibo subconsciously raised his voice: "Sleeping? The poor kid is actually sleeping?!"
Wen Zhiling quickly reinforced the soundproof barrier and glared at Qi Zibo, "Do you even know how to raise a child? I told you to keep your voice down."
The three rushed over, and upon learning that the person was inside, their hearts settled back down. Wen Zhiling and Shen Yuzhu did not return to Wujian Peak either; both of them stayed at Danque Peak that day.
...
Song Yin slept until dawn. When the sun rose again, her eyes were stung by the sunlight, and she moved them slightly before slowly opening them.
As her consciousness gradually returned, she realized she had slept from yesterday afternoon until the next morning.
Soon, Song Yin remembered the task of refining thousands of grade three pills. She took a deep breath and prepared to go refine pills after washing up. Even if she didn't refine grade three pills, this task would eventually fall to her master, who would also have to refine grade four and fifth pills.
She still couldn't stay idle. She had agreed to rest for a week, but she was thinking of using that week to complete the Rank 3 pill task.
If Danque Peak had more people, the low-grade pills could be made by the inner disciples, and Master would only need to make high-grade pills, which would make things much easier.
Song Yin sat up and suddenly realized that she was covered with a blanket, but she had gone straight to bed and slept when she entered the room yesterday. Looking at the dressing table, she saw that the hair ornaments had been taken down and neatly placed on it.
Today, Song Yin changed into a light yellow disciple's robe, washed up, and went out.
Upon exiting the courtyard, I saw that the gate to the adjacent courtyard was open, and my senior brother, dressed in blue with his hair tied up, was practicing his swordplay in the courtyard.
"Senior brother, what are you doing here?" Song Yin asked as she walked into the next room.
Shen Yuzhu stopped practicing her sword, not even breaking a sweat. "Junior sister, you're awake. Yesterday we were looking for you, and after searching everywhere, Master came into your room and said you were sleeping."
So the quilt was put on by her master's wife, and the headdress was also taken off for her. She actually fell into a deep sleep and didn't even notice someone entering the room.
"So my master is also on Danque Peak?"
"Yes, the three of us stayed at Danque Peak last night."
Song Yin: "Perfect timing, I have something to tell Master when he gets up."
"What's up?"
Song Yin: "I want him to recruit some inner disciples for Danque Peak, so that we won't have to trouble him with low-grade pills, and I won't have to be responsible for everything."
Shen Yuzhu nodded. "That makes sense. Of the six inner peaks, only Danque Peak and Xuanji Peak have few people. The others all have inner disciples living there. Even Lingpo Peak, which cultivates the Ruthless Sword Dao, has quite a few people."
With her senior brother's affirmation, Song Yin approached her master with greater confidence and offered her advice.
The four sat together to discuss Song Yin's suggestion.
Qi Zibo didn't mention yesterday's incident either. What if he got angry and really hid away?
After hearing the suggestion, Qi Zibo refused: "If Danque Peak opens, I will have to spend more energy teaching the inner disciples. I also have to prevent them from committing crimes and implicating me as an elder. It's too troublesome to even think about."
Song Yin: "We can recruit fewer people, but we should at least distribute some of the tasks that involve producing the most low-level pills."
Wen Zhiling spoke up: "I think Yinyin is right. No ordinary inner disciples have moved into Danque Peak for a long time. The entire Danque Peak is deserted. You didn't allow outsiders to enter Danque Peak back then because you wanted a quiet environment to refine pills."
“Those disciples who enter Danque Peak will only stay at the foot or halfway up the mountain. There is a formation at the top so they can’t come even if they want to, and they won’t disturb you.”
Qi Zibo sighed, "Then let's recruit twenty or thirty people first, no, let's recruit ten people first, all of them Golden Core stage disciples, since Foundation Establishment stage disciples won't be able to refine third-grade pills."
Song Yin asked in surprise, "Master, you agreed?"
Qi Zibo's voice was weathered: "Ever since I took you as my disciple, this mountaintop has never been quiet. I've gotten used to it."
Song Yin immediately widened her eyes. Tsk, does Old Deng know how to talk?
Qi Zibo: "Since it was your suggestion, you will be in charge of managing the ten people after they come to Danque Peak, including guiding them in alchemy."
Song Yin pointed to herself.
Huh? Me?
"Me, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, supervising Golden Core cultivators and expecting me to teach them alchemy? Are you sure?"
Qi Zibo: "As a direct disciple of Danque Peak, you naturally have to take responsibility for these things. Just like your senior brother Yuzhu, he often helps your master's wife, and now he is in charge of most of the affairs of Wujian Peak. You are not young anymore, it's time for you to take charge of the affairs of Danque Peak."
Song Yin: Why do I feel like I've dug myself into a hole?
Song Yin: "Then I'll take charge?" As for the Golden Core stage senior brothers and sisters who are not convinced, she will beat them until they are convinced. Anyway, it is normal for sword cultivators to challenge those of higher levels.
To fight someone of a higher level, one needs confidence. Song Yin immediately turned around and hugged her master's wife's arm. "Master's wife, please teach me some new and powerful sword techniques."
Wen Zhiling thought carefully, "I could learn the Withering and Flourishing Sword. Withering and flourishing are one thought away, life and death are one thought away. This sword technique is full of killing intent and has strong offensive power. Of course, it is also more difficult to learn than other sword techniques. Once I start learning it, I have to persevere. There is no such thing as giving up halfway."
Song Yin immediately patted her chest and promised, "I will definitely practice diligently, I will not be defeated by the Withered Glory Sword, and I will not give up halfway!"
Wen Zhiling chuckled and habitually reached out to pat Song Yin's head. "Okay, I trust Yinyin."
A gentle breeze carries away the falling petals, creating a scene resembling a painting from above. Inside the painting, four people sit together, chatting and laughing, just like an ordinary family.
Danque Peak decided to recruit people, and the news soon spread throughout the inner sect.
Although Elder Qi regularly teaches disciples at the inner sect academy, there are more opportunities to receive instruction at Danque Peak, and none of them are willing to give up this rare opportunity.
In an instant, many eyes from the inner sect members were fixed on Danque Peak, especially the inner sect alchemists, who were practically going crazy, racking their brains to find out Danque Peak's recruitment conditions.
-----------------------
Author's Note: Qi Zibo: Poor kid, thankfully he's not angry.
Song Yin: Aba aba, let's try to finish refining the pills in a week, and then continue with various cultivation practices. Our goal is to ascend to immortality!
For Song Yin, the task instantly transformed into alchemy cultivation, and she even considered practicing more to improve her alchemy skills. [newbie]
