Chapter 280: A Celebration of the Nascent Soul
Rongzhen quickly found a suitable secret place from her memory.
Before going in, she still needed to deal with the fate of Passerby A.
"Which sect do you want to go to?" Rong Zhen did not throw him into a sect of immortal cultivation as the group leader Mei Daxian said, but asked him where he wanted to go.
If it was convenient, she could give him a ride.
It was rare to meet a fellow fast traveler, and even though they might not be from the same organization, Rong Zhen wanted to establish a good relationship with them, to give herself more friends and more paths.
Passerby A, with the mentality of a fledgling, subconsciously asked her, "Which sect are you from?"
He wanted to be in the same place with her so that he could at least take care of her.
But Rong Zhen was rather disgusted with his bad luck and his willingness to watch the fun, so he had no intention of bringing him into the Tianyan Sect.
Besides, she has no plans to go back at the moment, so it is impossible to join the Tianyan Sect like her, and it is also impossible to go to the secret realm with her.
All in all, to put it simply, she really didn't want to take him with her.
It’s enough to babysit once for the sake of points.
Passerby A had no choice but to give up going with her and thought: "Look at which small sect nearby is short of people and send me in."
Given his bad luck, the spiritual roots of the body he possesses must not be very good. Since he can't take advantage of his peers to become the tail of a big sect, he might as well become the head of a small sect that is short of people and resources.
Seeing that he was quite self-aware, Rong Zhen flew around the area with his flying sword, helped him choose a small sect that met the requirements, and sent him there to become a disciple.
He has his own resources and seems to have a backer and a wealthy family. Even if his spiritual roots and talent are poor, people will not refuse a sponsor who comes to their doorstep, so his apprenticeship is very smooth.
Rongzhen made sure that he had successfully become a disciple before submitting the task in the group. Seeing his points increase in the group contribution column, he smiled with satisfaction.
Very good, the goal of earning points has officially taken a step forward.
The next step is to enter the selected secret realm and concentrate on practicing to improve your strength.
The secret realm was not far from where she was. It had been developed by various major sects. One only had to pay a certain amount of spirit stones to enter and gain experience. How long one could stay depended on one's ability.
Places like this must have been plundered many times, with almost nothing left. They are usually places where independent cultivators and disciples from small sects like to go for training.
Rong Zhen has the resources in the group and the supply from his master, so he is not short of materials for cultivation. He does not go there to seek opportunities, so he does not care about the amount of resources there. He just hopes to avoid being scammed by the male protagonist in the plot line.
In fact, her concerns were absolutely correct.
Because just a second before she stepped into the gate of the secret realm, Feng Lingqing's paper crane flew in front of her as if it had clairvoyance, stopping her from entering the secret realm.
The paper crane found someone and without her having to do anything, it began to speak in human language: "Junior Sister Yuzhen, Master has come out of seclusion, please return to the sect immediately."
Rongzhen flicked her finger and burned the paper crane to ashes.
It was impossible to go back. She had already paid the spirit stones to enter the secret realm. It would be a waste if she didn't go in and take a look.
The master can come out of retreat if he wants. It’s not a life-or-death moment, so it doesn’t matter whether she sees him or not. Maybe it’s better not to see him, so that he won’t be recognized as having a replaced core.
It is not impossible that the other party is a powerful person in the world of immortal cultivation.
Rong Zhen pretended not to receive the message from the paper crane and continued walking into the secret realm.
Feng Lingqing, who was thousands of miles away, noticed that the paper crane carrying the sound transmission had been damaged and could not help but frown: "Where has this guy gone since returning from the mortal world? Why is it so difficult to even find the paper crane carrying the sound transmission?"
"Maybe we have entered a secret realm. Let's report to our master first." Han Qingshuang had an accurate intuition. He glanced at the figure standing on the distant mountain and wanted to pull his senior brother to go with him.
Feng Lingqing took her there and flew over. Before they got close, their master casually waved her sword and knocked her off the sword. She fell on the hard sword-testing stone with two thuds, leaving her nose and face bruised.
The instigator, still gazing at the sea of clouds below the mountain, asked without turning back, "Qingfeng, I heard you accepted a disciple on my behalf? I imagine he's incredibly talented."
Otherwise, how could he have attracted the favor of his always arrogant eldest disciple?
He actually dared to rebel against Tiangang and secretly accepted disciples on behalf of his master!
When Taoist Wuchen heard that he had come out of retreat, he was not angry. It was just that for some reasons he needed to find something to do for his eldest disciple who had a tendency to betray his master and ancestors, so that he would not become arrogant and forget himself.
"Master..." Feng Lingqing knelt down and kowtowed, "Although Qingshuang is not exceptionally gifted, she is also a person of great perseverance and a profound understanding of the Tao. I, your disciple, insisted on bringing her back because I saw a connection between her and Master."
Upon hearing this, Daoist Master Wuchen turned around, revealing a face as ethereal as the breeze and the bright moon. He said in a calm voice, "Oh? How come I didn't know that she and I were destined to be together?"
He, a powerful being who had just advanced to the Void Refinement Stage, hadn't figured it out, but Feng Lingqing, with just a little golden elixir, knew it?
Feng Lingqingyu was choked, unable to explain the realization he had when he saw Han Qingshuang for the first time.
At that moment, he truly felt the fate between her and Ling Hanfeng, and his deep feelings as a senior apprentice and a senior apprentice.
It was as if God was telling him that Han Qingshuang was destined to be the junior sister of their Ling Han Peak, the person he needed to bring in and cherish, and the closed disciple that his master liked.
But now, facing the questioning of Taoist Wuchen, Feng Lingqing felt that he might have gone astray and lost his mind at that time.
"Disciple knows he was wrong, please punish me, Master." Feng Lingqing couldn't explain the reason clearly, so he admitted his mistake and accepted the punishment first.
Han Qingshuang knelt behind him and defended him: "Daojun, it is Han Shuang who has admired you for a long time and wants to join Linghan Peak to learn swordsmanship. It has nothing to do with you, Senior Brother."
Anyway, she has already joined the sect, and with the testimony of the Sect Master and many elders, it is impossible for the Sword Master to kick her out.
She really wanted to learn swordsmanship, and was very grateful to her senior brother for his recommendation and promotion.
She is determined to have the relationship of master and disciple.
Taoist Wuchen glanced at her and Feng Lingqing, and it was unknown what he saw, but he did not mention the matter of accepting a disciple on behalf of the master, as if he had tacitly agreed.
but……
"Since you are the one who accepted him into the sect, you should teach him. You cannot pass the responsibility on to others."
Taoist Wuchen made the final decision. He did not acknowledge Han Qingshuang's identity as a young disciple, but he did not drive her away either. He only handed her over to Feng Lingqing.
After Feng Lingqing failed in his attempt to shift the blame to his junior sister, his attempt to shift the blame to his master was also blocked.
Han Qingshuang was completely defeated by him.
Taoist Wuchen said, "Qingfeng, it's you who are destined to be with her. The two of you are destined to be together. Don't involve others."
"Yes, Master." Feng Lingqing had mixed feelings, and his face was still as cold as ice.
Han Qingshuang stood there in shock, unable to react for a moment.
But it was just as she wished, and she successfully stayed in Linghan Peak, but the result was a little different from what she had originally imagined.
Daoist Master Wuchen didn't care about these things. After finishing his discussion with the other two, he turned to inquire about the whereabouts of his second disciple: "Where is Yuzhen now?"
Feng Lingqing lowered his head: "Disciple cannot contact Junior Sister, I am afraid that Master will need to take action."
Taoist Wuchen took out a jade talisman, manipulated it for a while without any results, and then put it away. "Yuzhen has entered the secret realm for training. I can't contact her now. When she comes back, ask her to come see me."
"Junior sister just made such a guess." Feng Lingqing wanted to fight for Han Qingshuang again.
Unfortunately, Taoist Wuchen did not accept the attack. A sword flew over and floated away.
Feng Lingqing didn't know where he went, but it was certain that he would not stay in Linghan Peak to teach new disciples as he wished.
This made him feel heavy-hearted for the first time, and he felt the urge to sigh. He turned around and said to Han Qingshuang, who was full of disappointment, "Junior Sister, I'm sorry for you."
Although he couldn't understand why he was so crazy as to bring her back, when they were in the main peak hall, the head and the elders were present. He didn't believe that he would be deceived by the unorthodox methods, so bringing Han Qingshuang back was completely his own decision.
Now it has become his responsibility that he cannot get rid of.
Han Qingshuang smiled awkwardly: "Big Brother, I should be the one thanking you. I'll trouble you from now on."
The two brothers and sisters looked at each other with mutual sympathy and tacitly let the matter go.
It's fate that they are together, so let's leave it this way for now.
The plot line on Linghan Peak is progressing in full swing, and Rong Zhen in the secret realm is also racing against time to practice and fight.
There is no shortage of spiritual power and spiritual beasts in the secret realm. After Rong Zhen got bored of practicing for a while, he went to harass the spiritual beasts to hone his fighting power.
The rescue group didn't ask for this, but Rongzhen wanted to practice it selfishly. In case it comes in handy, maybe he can increase his contribution and earn more points.
The time dimension of the world of immortal cultivation is different from that of other worlds, and decades have passed unknowingly.
Rong Zhen was kicked out of the secret realm after cultivating to the Golden Core stage, and then found another secret realm to hide in.
During this period, Taoist Wuchen came to him with a sound transmission sword talisman, but Rong Zhen always perfunctorily answered the question by saying that he was gaining experience outside and would not go back to the sect if he could.
The rescue team gave her a hundred years. Before the time comes, she is not afraid that anything might happen to Taoist Wuchen, and she does not need to go back and be forced to get involved in the affairs of the male and female protagonists.
Taoist Wuchen probably saw that she had never fallen behind in her cultivation, so he didn't force her to go back.
It’s just that Rongzhen often has the feeling that she is being watched, but she can never find the person who is watching her. After a long time, she thought it was an illusion.
Halfway through the hundred years, good news came from the salvation group.
[Group leader Mei Daxian: The Mahayana stage has arrived, and we are only one step away from overcoming the tribulation. The revolution is about to succeed. Comrades, work hard!]
[Admin Koi: Congratulations, Sister Mei! ]
[Group member Meili: Congratulations to the group leader! You've already reached the Mahayana stage, while I'm only at the Nascent Soul stage!]
Group member Bald Qiang: Congratulations to the group leader! Tears of envy streamed down my face. Why do Buddhists still eat vegetarian food and beat wooden fish? That's unscientific.
[Group member Wang Gou: Congratulations to the group leader! I've also reached the Golden Elixir level, hehehe.]
[Group member Animal Friends: Congratulations to the group leader! Although I haven't reached the Golden Core stage yet, my contracted beast has reached the Nascent Soul stage, which can be considered a sign of strength.]
[Group member Bobo: Congratulations to the group leader! Fellow Daoist above, it's useless for your contracted beast to have a high cultivation level. When the time comes to save the world, we'll be the ones stepping up to fill the gap. What's needed is that our own cultivation level be as high as possible.]
[Group member Xiamijiang: Congratulations to the group leader! Crossing species cultivation is incredibly difficult. I'm choosing to go the last wave, so a few points doesn't matter.]
[Group member plays the villain professionally: Congratulations to the group leader! It's just a small Mahayana, take it down immediately!]
[Group member Passerby A: Congratulations to the group leader! It seems everyone has a higher level of cultivation than me. I, a poorly endowed and unlucky child, can only shed a tear of bitterness. I guess I'll be the last one to go.]
【……】
Everyone in the group rushed to congratulate the group owner and report on their own situations.
When it was Rong Zhen's turn, she reported that she was about to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, and then secretly inquired about what it meant to be the last wave.
You will know the answers to private messages when the time comes.
There are still fifty years left, Rongzhen can wait.
In the fifty-second year, she successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage outside, and when resisting the thunder tribulation, she finally saw the guardian beside her clearly.
"Master?"
Rong Zhen recognized the immortal-like figure that appeared through the sky full of lightning. It was the master Wuchen Daojun in the original owner's memory.
He was dressed in a flowing green robe, with a tall and graceful figure, a natural demeanor, the joints of his sword-holding hand were distinct, and the look he gave was calm and gentle.
He just stood there, without any sense of presence, but he could give people a sense of security.
"It's me. Concentrate and calm your mind, and focus on overcoming the tribulation. Master is here, so don't be afraid."
Taoist Wuchen's words made Rong Zhen feel certain.
His life was saved, but he didn't notice it.
As long as she can successfully survive this disaster, she won't have to wander around and hide for the next forty years.
Although there is no shortage of training resources and experience in the group, it is not as good as the personal guidance of the big guys.
Time is running out, and she needs the experience pack from Taoist Wuchen.
The cultivation ceiling in this world is high. Although the thunder tribulation in the Nascent Soul stage looks huge, it is actually not difficult to survive. It is not difficult for Rong Zhen. What's more, there is a big man in the Void Refinement stage next to him to protect him, so it is easy for him to survive the thunder tribulation.
Rong Zhen sat cross-legged there, using his protective magic weapon to resist a few attacks, and then he took a few more attacks to train his body. The Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation was basically over.
When the calamity clouds dissipated and the gentle rain fell, Daoist Master Wuchen flew forward, sized her up from head to toe, and praised her, "I haven't seen you in over fifty years. You've made remarkable progress."
Rong Zhen was secretly worried. "Yu Zhen dare not let down Master's cultivation. Now that I have gained enough experience, I am ready to return to the sect to consolidate my cultivation. I hope Master will be generous with his guidance."
Taoist Wuchen agreed immediately, and a flying sword came out, carrying her and turning into a rainbow light, flying from the sky to the sect, and directly landing on Linghan Peak.
"Master! Junior Sister!"
"Master! Senior Sister!"
Feng Lingqing and Han Qingshuang arrived quickly to welcome the return of Taoist Wuchen.
It turned out that during the decades that Rong Zhen was away for training, Taoist Wuchen was not in the sect either, and only Feng Lingqing and Han Qingshuang were on Linghan Peak.
With no one to blame, Feng Lingqing could only teach Han Qingshuang personally and handle the affairs of Yifeng. It was difficult for him to get away and look for opportunities, and he was still stuck in the late Jindan stage and had not made a breakthrough.
This time when Rong Zhen came back, she crushed him in terms of cultivation. I wonder if I can still hear him call her senior sister.
Feng Lingqing soon discovered this as well, his icy face nearly cracking: "Junior sister is already in the Nascent Soul stage?!"
"Yes." Rongzhen nodded with a smile.
Han Qingshuang was so envious that she motivated herself, "Senior Sister works so hard, I want to learn from her!"
Rongzhen gave her an appreciative look and distributed the gifts she brought back.
She had no problem with this heroine. No matter what she was thinking, at least she performed better than her cheap senior brother.
Judging by actions rather than intentions, as long as we don’t think about competing with each other, we can still be good friends.
Han Qingshuang was very happy to receive the gift, as it represented her senior sister's acceptance of her.
When Taoist Wuchen saw what Rongzhen was doing, he took out a jade slip and gave it to her. Inside it was a life-saving spell suitable for her to practice.
"Thank you, Senior Sister! Thank you, Master!"
This was the happiest day for Han Qingshuang since she came to Linghan Peak.
Feng Lingqing was a little unhappy about being ignored, and he took his overly excited junior sister away at the right time.
After they left, Rong Zhen tentatively reached out to Daoist Wuchen, "Master, do you have anything for me?"
The treasure that the master in the Nascent Soul Stage got must be extraordinary among the extraordinary ones, and she wants it too.
Daoist Master Wuchen was indeed extraordinary. He directly took out a storage bracelet and gave it to her: "There is a small world inside, which can be used to contract with souls."
Rongzhen's heart skipped a beat, and she felt like she was being seen through and running naked.
I don’t know if it’s because she has something to hide, but I always feel that there’s something hidden in Taoist Wuchen’s words.
Even so, she still wanted the gift.
The brave will die of overeating, and the timid will die of starvation.
A ready-made small-world version of a portable space, who wouldn’t be tempted when encountering it? She was already restrained if she didn’t grab it immediately, how could she just let it go.
Taoist Wuchen was not surprised by her reaction. He put the storage bracelet on her wrist and instructed her to make a soul contract with him.
Rong Zhen didn't know whether he could see the difference between her soul and the original owner's. She only knew that she didn't want to miss this opportunity.
