Chapter 53 If you can’t finish it… take it with you!
Tao Hu's provocation caused the atmosphere, which had finally been eased, to suddenly fall to freezing point.
As the eldest senior sister, Cheng Yuejie naturally couldn't show weakness in front of the inner disciples. She just snorted coldly, "Realm doesn't mean everything."
After saying that, Cheng Yuejie waved and left.
Liu Wuchang scratched his face and waved his hand to signal other inner disciples to do what they should do. He also ordered the chief elder and other elders to guard the back mountain to prevent Bu Liuren and Tao Hu from causing any trouble.
After flying away from the mountain gate, Cheng Yuejie plunged into the bamboo forest, drew out the flying sword at her waist, raised her hand several times and wanted to chop it down, but failed in the end.
In order to avoid acting impulsively, Cheng Yuejie finally chose to nail the flying sword to the bamboo, and sat cross-legged among the fallen leaves, trying to calmly comprehend the sword's meaning.
Taohu is not bluffing.
Cheng Yuejie had fought with a fake dan realm cultivator before, and had also seen fights between Jindan cultivators. Although Tao Hu was at the fake dan realm, the oppressive force on his body was greater than that of the fake dan. If she fought with him in her current state, even if she had half a step of sword intent, she would definitely be defeated. Only if she realized the complete sword intent would she have a chance to fight.
But the more Cheng Yuejie tried to calm down and concentrate, the more confused she became.
Not to mention the complete sword intent, even the feeling of half-step sword intent was almost lost.
In the end, I only wasted half a day.
In desperation, Cheng Yuejie decided to go down the mountain and take a walk to Luoyang Town.
At this time, there were many carriages parked in Luoyang Town.
Most of them came from towns outside Risheng City, and many of them brought their families with them, with the awareness that they would die if they failed.
Cheng Yuejie felt very sympathetic towards these people. As mortals, they must have spent several months and risked many dangers to get here with great difficulty, and they probably had no ability to turn back, but the Tao was ruthless.
Under the dual supervision of Taoism and the Dayu Dynasty, the sect cannot enslave any civilians. Even if they are doing menial tasks, they must be paid according to the rules and regulations and provided with food, clothing, shelter and transportation.
No sect in Ganzhou has the spare capacity to support too many menial disciples. The end of these people is to leave in disappointment. If they are lucky, they may be able to return to their hometown. If they are unlucky, they may die on the road.
In just a short while, a family came out of the inn, came to the carriage and talked to the coachman, seeming to be planning to leave.
Although the Qingshan Ceremony for selecting disciples has not yet begun, many people have already noticed the atmosphere here.
Cheng Yuejie practiced her martial arts and used the ruthless sword technique to wipe out the ripples in her heart. When she was about to leave, a figure appeared in her sight.
He was a young man who seemed to be in his early twenties. He approached the family that was about to leave with a sly but harmless smile on his face.
Cheng Yuejie couldn't see the young man's expression or movements, but she could see the changes in the expressions of the people in that family.
From suspicion to hesitation, and from hesitation to astonishment and ecstasy, she finally turned back happily holding the young man's hand.
Cheng Yuejie frowned slightly and did not think this was a good thing.
The status of Qingshan Sect is in jeopardy, and the uninvited arrival of the Five Poison Sect is further proof that other sects are eyeing it covetously. If anything goes wrong with the Qingshan Ceremony, then Qingshan Sect will really be finished.
The young man was only at the seventh level of Qi training, but he might be a spy sent by other sects.
Just when Cheng Yuejie was about to make a move, a lazy voice sounded beside her ear, "Isn't this Yuejie? What are you doing here, Senior Sister, instead of preparing for the grand ceremony in Qingshan Sect?"
Cheng Yuejie just turned around, and when she turned back again, the young man had disappeared.
Cheng Yuejie had no choice but to stop and bowed to the woman holding the cigarette in front of her, "Sister Baihe, I just saw a suspicious person, you don't know him, do you?"
Cheng Yuejie doesn't really believe in coincidences.
Lily Jiang raised her eyes slightly, “I know a lot of suspicious people, I don’t know which one you are talking about?”
Cheng Yuejie got the answer and sighed helplessly.
"Sister Lily, this ceremony is very important to Qingshan Sect."
"Qingshan Sect is very lucky, so don't worry about it."
Lily Jiang waved her hand and returned to her nest leisurely. Seeing this, Cheng Yuejie had no choice but to bow again and turn away.
Cheng Yuejie's anxiety could not stop the passage of time, and in a blink of an eye, the day of the Qingshan Ceremony arrived.
Before the strange phenomenon appeared, a huge ship fell from the sea of clouds, and the huge word "Chongshan" was swaying in the sky above Qingshan Sect.
Led by their leader Liu Wuchang, the elders of Qingshan Sect soared into the air and blocked the giant ship that seemed to be about to stop over the top of Qingshan Sect.
"Wu Lang, you have to join in the fun too."
Liu Wuchang looked unhappy.
If Li Yanmo had not expressed his desire to show weakness to the enemy, he would have defeated Mei Chai Shao even if it meant burning his life span to let these villains see what the fusion stage was like.
Wu Lang, the leader of Chongshan Sect, flew down and bowed politely, "Please stop joking, everyone. We are all from the righteous path. Now that Qingshan Sect is in trouble, how can I come here to join in the fun?"
"Difficulties? How come I don't know?" Liu Wuchang sneered.
Wu Lang laughed, "Brother Liu, why bother being polite to me? The Qingshan Sect has been closed for more than half a year, and that's something that everyone can see. It just so happens that the spiritual fields that my Chongshan Sect got by chance this year have a good harvest, so I specially brought a hundred kilograms of spiritual rice, just as a way to win a prize for your Qingshan Grand Ceremony. How do you think?"
Wu Lang also reached the level of a spirit being transformed, and every word he said could be transmitted through the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so not only the disciples of Qingshan Sect, but even the mortals who were waiting in line could hear the sound.
After a few words, many people started talking about it.
Bu Liuren from the back mountain raised his eyebrows slightly, "There are actually 100 kilograms of spiritual rice? Even the sect leader Wu Lang may not be able to mobilize all of this. It seems that the Chongshan Patriarch has taken action?"
Tao Hu licked his lips, his eyes lit up with greed, "Master, can we snatch that spiritual rice?"
Spiritual fields are wonderful creatures nurtured by heaven and earth, and rice is the most suitable plant to grow in spiritual fields. Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in each grain of rice is not as good as that of ordinary spiritual fruits due to the quantity issue, it has the advantage of being sufficient in quantity and high in harvest efficiency.
If he could obtain that hundred kilograms of spiritual rice, his body, which was injured due to the forced destruction of the elixir, would soon be able to recover to its peak state.
"Good disciple, don't worry. The things in this Ganzhou competition are countless times better than this spiritual rice."
Cheng Yuejie was stunned for a few seconds before her face changed drastically and she flew down with her sword regardless of the order.
The real purpose of the Chongshan Sect is not to show off, but to shake the mortals who participate in the Qingshan Ceremony.
Cheng Yuejie didn't know what to do, but she couldn't just sit there and do nothing.
But when she arrived at the mountain gate, Cheng Yuejie was dumbfounded.
She thought that the mortals on the mountain path were all weak in their stance and were discussing whether they should go down the mountain and head back to Chongshan Sect.
In reality, every mortal on the mountain path held a piece of fruit in his hand and ate it while watching the confrontation between Chongshan Sect and Qingshan Sect in the sky. After finishing the fruit, he would take out another one from the basket in his other hand and continue eating it. His leisurely and comfortable manner left Cheng Yuejie puzzled.
But Cheng Yuejie soon discovered the problem.
What those mortals were holding in their hands... were actually spiritual fruits! ?
Cheng Yuejie just felt dizzy.
As the eldest senior sister of Qingshan Sect, she had naturally eaten spiritual fruits, but she had only eaten three.
Just three of them helped her lay a solid foundation and made the spiritual energy in her body more refined.
The mortals on these mountain roads start with ten spiritual fruits each.
"...Yamashita!"
Cheng Yuejie came back to her senses as quickly as possible and arrived at the foot of the mountain amid the exclamations of the mortals on the mountain path.
A stall appeared at the foot of the mountain at some point, and the suspicious young man seen a few days ago was now sitting there greeting the mortals who came to participate in the Qingshan Ceremony.
"Come, come, come - we'll give you spiritual fruits when you go up the mountain! One basket for each person! There will be more after you finish eating! If you can't finish it... take it with you!"
The young man greeted while handing a basket of various fruits to the mortal in front of him.
And those fruits...are all spiritual fruits!
