Chapter 19 Sect Welcome to the Hehuan Sect.
After more than ten days of non-stop sailing on the flying boat, Yun Mengzi brought Chu Sheng and Gui Xuan back to the Hehuan Sect again.
After more than ten days of nurturing the bones, and with the added bonus of mental training that Guixuan had continuously provided along the way because of her excitement about the experiment, Chu Sheng, whose face had become much rosier, was now doing ideological construction for Guixuan, who was visiting the Hehuan Sect for the first time.
"Don't eat anything offered to you by anyone other than me, and don't drink any water. Hold your breath if you smell anything strange, and don't look over curiously if you hear any strange noises. It's best to leave that place quickly..."
Gui Xuan didn't take it seriously: "It's not like I haven't treated disciples of your Hehuan Sect before, you don't have to be so cautious."
Yun Mengzi ignored the dispute between the younger generations, but woke up from the light sleep he had been in since boarding the flying boat, and walked to the front of the flying boat with a tired look.
He stretched out his finger and gently stroked the air from a distance:
"call--!!!"
The broken and sharp sound of the wind whistled past Gui Xuan's ears, and the originally clear vision was replaced by the raging yellow sand. The coarse sand scratched his cheek, almost causing a scratch for this delicate medical practitioner.
There was a faint sound of singing coming from the ground. The boy subconsciously looked down and saw men and women in colorful clothes, walking forward in a long line like ants.
Some people twisted their bodies, beat musical instruments, sang and danced in the desert, children ran around laughing and playing, camels walked slowly forward with the sound of bells ringing, it looked like a lively and bustling scene.
but……
When Gui Xuan attached spiritual power to her eyes and looked down again, she subconsciously took a step back. Chu Sheng, who had anticipated this, supported her body with one hand, so that she would not fall backwards due to loss of balance.
"Shh, don't make any noise." Chu Sheng said.
"…What is that?"
Guixuan asked in a whisper.
He turned around and saw the girl beside him gazing at the endless pile of white bones in the yellow sand. There was a fleeting sigh in the look on her face.
"That's a mirage."
Mo Nan Continent was a continent that was broken into pieces in ancient times and then forcibly pieced together. After tens of millions of years of evolution and the unremitting efforts of countless cultivators and mortals, the overall state of Mo Nan Continent has gradually stabilized, and gradually, there have appeared prosperous towns, trade routes and established sects of cultivation like those in other continents.
But in this endless desert, there are still some silhouettes of the past that flash from time to time, falling into the yellow sand from the fragments of a long river of time.
This special phenomenon, unique to the South Continent, is collectively called "mirage" by the people living here.
"This is a true story that once happened... Many people, desperate, were unable to distinguish these phantoms of the past, and as a result, many innocent lives were lost."
"Saving lives is our duty as medical practitioners." Gui Xuan interrupted the girl, "You're just a Dharma practitioner, don't overthink it, Chu Sheng."
"I know." Chu Sheng replied. As he spoke, the flying boat had already sailed out of the area where the sea city had suddenly descended.
Yun Mengzi still did not return to his room, but reached out his hand again, this time tapping the bow with two fingers together. A thin layer of spiritual power instantly surrounded the flying boat.
"You have to hold on tight later." Chu Sheng held Gui Xuan's shoulders. The young master of Liangyi Valley just said "Ah?" in confusion, and the next second he felt his feet empty, which instantly reminded him of what had happened.
——While in mid-air, Yun Mengzi immediately retracted the flying boat! The three people, with no place to stand, suddenly lost their support and began to fall!
When my dad used to brag to me about his thrilling journey to the He Huan Sect to rescue someone, he never mentioned how the entry method to this second-rate cultivation sect was so bizarre!
Chu Sheng had already made preparations and secured Gui Xuan by his side. The Young Master of Liangyi Valley, who had never left his house and was unaware of the world, was completely unfamiliar with this routine, but Chu Sheng had already mastered it like Yun Mengzi.
She fell down with Gui Xuan, motionless as a mountain. The yellow sand was like an endless whirlpool, getting closer and closer to them...
Then, as if the cork of a long-sealed wine bottle was roughly opened by a drunk, a clear "pop" sound was heard in everyone's ears.
Gui Xuan's vision was completely filled with the sudden appearance of pink clouds all over the mountains.
A huge, fluffy and soft flower like a cloud stretched out its petals as gentle and light as feathers, and steadily caught the three people who fell from the sky.
Gui Xuan crawled out from the gentle embrace of thousands of pink clouds in a daze. Chu Sheng reached out and pulled him, introducing him to him.
"This is the Albizia Julibrissin—Gui Xuan, welcome to the Albizia Sect."
Guixuan lost her voice.
In front of him, what was revealed under the huge albizzia flowers was an even larger tree... No, it couldn't be called huge, it could only be described as "majestic", as if it was a towering tree that had stood here for tens of millions of years.
The towering tree in front of us has gone beyond the scope of ordinary "trees". The pink mist covering the sky is the blooming Albizia julibrissin. Under the Albizia julibrissin, vegetation has taken root and grown in the soil-filled tree trunk, and fragrant grass has broken through the soil above the flowers. There are also other tree species sprouting and blooming beside the branches.
The first generation of disciples and elders of the Hehuan Sect established the initial outline of the Hehuan Sect on this towering tree. Later disciples and elders gradually outlined and filled in the content, finally forming a strange picture of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
Gui Xuan was a little fascinated by what he saw. Seeing that his master Yun Mengzi had left at some point, Chu Sheng took him to familiarize himself with the Hehuan Sect without any surprise.
"My master has probably returned to his cave dwelling and is sleeping. He won't wake up unless something catastrophic happens. Let me first show you around the sect... There should be some elixirs you can find locally, right?"
Gui Xuan's eyes were immediately fixed on the huge Albizia julibrissin flower that caught him.
This, I want!
"No, this won't work." Chu Sheng immediately refused. Seeing the incredulous look on Gui Xuan's face, Chu Sheng hurriedly put a big cross on it. "This really won't work! Don't look at it as just a flower. In fact, this Albizia Julibrissin is alive. I can't give it to you as a medicinal ingredient!"
The huge pink ball of fluff shook a few times in a very human way, as if echoing what Chu Sheng said.
"Okay then." Gui Xuan looked away in disappointment. Chu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and took this new friend back to the sect he had been away from for a long time.
"This is the Sword Washing Pool... What's the use of practicing magic or not? We in the Hehuan Sect also have sword techniques, right? What are you laughing at? How can the Sword of Endless Love not be considered a sword?" The Bi Hai sword technique was evolved from the Sword of Endless Love. Don't look down on others!
Gui Xuan, remembering Ling Fengzhi's personal testimony of the girl's kung fu prowess, which had caused even the core disciples of the Sword Palace to mistake her for a sword cultivator, cautiously suppressed her expression. "Go on."
Chu Sheng continued to introduce Gui Xuan. "That's the sect's school... this is the medicine room... the martial arts arena... the alchemy hall..."
"Wait, I have a question." Gui Xuan, a notorious troublemaker in Liangyi Valley, now in someone else's base camp, had learned to raise her hand and ask questions obediently. "Aren't you the Hehuan Sect? Why do you have so many things from other sects?"
In general sects of cultivation, the most numerous facilities should be the spiritual meditation rooms and battle platforms used for special cultivation, followed by the library used for studying Taoism.
But this universal formula, which was universally accepted in all sects, was unusually untrue in the Hehuan Sect, leaving Gui Xuan increasingly confused as she read along. "Learning such a vast and complex subject, isn't that a waste of time?"
Chu Sheng looked at Gui Xuan with an indescribable expression.
"You also said that we are from the Hehuan Sect."
Gui Xuan looked back at her innocently. "Yeah, what happened to the Hehuan Sect?"
"You can guess that I practiced swordsmanship to build a good relationship with Ling Fengzhi, so why don't you guess what these things are used for?"
Of course, it was used to fish for the Hehuan Sect disciples! After all, catering to their preferences and having common topics were the best options for building a bridge of communication!
"You really are against Ling Fengzhi..." Gui Xuan was halfway through her sentence when Chu Sheng quickly covered her mouth. "I already told you it's not true, so shut up!"
"...Senior Sister Chu Sheng?"
A sweet female voice asked tentatively.
Chu Sheng turned around upon hearing this and was stunned for a moment when he saw the other person. Only then did he mentally connect the name with the cute girl with red hair and red eyes in front of him. "Ah...it's you, Junior Sister Duo'er."
Chen Duoer nodded shyly, "Senior Sister, you actually still remember me, that's great..."
"Wait, why is she drawing her sword so happily?" Gui Xuan asked a soul-searching question.
Chu Sheng's sword had been shattered in the previous thunder, but facing Chen Duoer's mediocre swordsmanship, she skillfully broke off a willow branch to deal with the sudden attack launched by her junior sister from the sect, and took the time to explain to Gui Xuan.
"This is a tradition passed down from generation to generation within the Hehuan Sect..."
"Only those who have defeated the senior brothers and sisters who have left the sect before are qualified to leave the sect independently!"
"The other brothers and sisters are all in the Jindan stage. I have no chance of winning if we fight across realms. Only you, senior sister, are in the foundation-building stage like me..." Chen Duoer explained in a sweet voice. She looked at Chu Sheng, and a determination flashed in her red eyes.
"I really want to travel like my senior sister, so Senior Sister Chu Sheng, I'm sorry!"
As her originally weak swordsmanship suddenly became more powerful, the girl formed a seal with one hand and uttered softly, "Fire!"
The raging fire quickly licked the slender fingers along the willow branch. Chu Sheng reacted quickly and let go of the branch. Facing the sword blade wrapped in flames and heading straight for her face, she chuckled softly. "Very good progress..."
"But it's not hot yet!"
As he spoke, without making any hand gestures, a more intense fire ignited from Chu Sheng's fingertips along the edge of Chen Duoer's sword, overwhelming the girl's flame in an instant!
