Shi Xuan said expressionlessly, "The spirit stones you paid are only for treatment costs, not for follow-up care."
“We can pay extra!” Feng Xiujie felt that the treatment was a complete package, and only by taking the pills refined by Shi Xuan could it be considered a complete package.
"Then you should go buy it from Uncle Chen. Also, I'm going to the Luoyin Sect with my sect. You can leave at any time and choose your own place to recuperate."
Looking at Feng Xiujie's expression, Shen Wuyang wondered if he was reluctant to leave. He then looked at Shi Xuan and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Shi, my senior brother's condition is also quite unstable. If another problem arises, we won't be able to handle it. Could we... also go to Luoyin Sect with you? Anyway, the Six Sects Competition is coming up sooner or later, so we might as well go together this time."
“It’s not necessary, but it’s not impossible either,” Shi Xuan said.
Bringing two is the same as bringing five, so let's bring them all together.
Three days later, the disciples participating in the Six Sects Grand Competition gathered together on the spirit boat, just like last time. When Shi Xuan arrived, she brought six more people with her. In addition to the two groups of patients, she also brought Leng Rufeng, which caused the disciples of the Lianfeng Sword Sect to frequently return to observe.
Shi Xuan had already informed his master beforehand, explaining the identities of these people and his relationship with them. His master also reported this to the sect, which verified the information before agreeing to let them all board the spirit boat together.
*
The Luoyin Sect is the most remote of the six sects of Qianyuan, and it takes a day and a half to reach it by spirit boat.
Having finally managed to travel far from home, the excited yet bored disciples started a betting game on the spirit boat. The content of this betting game was unprecedented – they were betting on whether Shi Xuan would achieve enlightenment in front of the Luoyin Sect's mountain gate!
After all, Shi Xuan had achieved enlightenment in front of both the Lianfeng Sword Sect and the Fuyuan Sect. He was quite the expert at achieving enlightenment!
When Shi Xuan found out, he was both amused and exasperated. However, the Shen brothers were extremely interested and rushed over to place their bets, all of which promised enlightenment.
The disciples had only intended to gamble with a few low-grade spirit stones for fun, but now the Shen brothers' extravagant bets had put them on edge. How could such a small bet involve high-grade spirit stones? If they won, it would be a huge windfall.
For cultivators, a day and a half passes in the blink of an eye; a few hours spent meditating, refining a few batches of pills, or drawing a few talismans on the spirit boat can easily pass. When they looked again, the Hidden Sect was already faintly visible.
Among the six sects, the Luoyin Sect is known for its talisman arrays. The entire sect is also very grand, with palaces, houses, pavilions and towers built around several mountain peaks, shrouded in clouds and mist, creating a beautiful fairyland.
As Leng Rufeng looked at this old sect from the spirit boat, a myriad of emotions welled up in his heart. He felt a sour feeling in his heart, but he didn't know why.
As usual, the spirit boat stopped at the foot of the mountain.
The sect leader of the Hidden Sect, Lei Zhi, personally led a group down the mountain to greet them. Before they even got close, a hearty laugh rang out: "Hahahaha, Mingxiu, everyone, it's been a long time!"
Shi Mingxiu responded with his usual laughter: "Brother Lei, I'm sorry to have bothered you this time!"
The peak masters, including Lin Daozi, greeted him with smiles and clasped hands.
They were all cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, and having known each other for a long time, they walked towards the mountain gate, chatting and laughing.
To everyone's surprise, when they arrived at the mountain gate, all the disciples of the Lianfeng Sword Sect stopped, including the peak masters and Shi Mingxiu.
Lei Zhi looked at Shi Mingxiu with some confusion, asking for the reason with his eyes.
Shi Mingxiu laughed heartily and said, "Brother Lei, please wait a moment. A disciple of my sect wishes to learn more about your sect's gate. Haha!"
Every family has a mountain gate, and it's not a big deal to look at it. So why does he say this with such a strange sense of pride?
The question was quickly answered, because among the disciples was a girl who, while watching, froze... and entered a state of enlightenment so easily!
Those disciples who guessed the outcome correctly and won the bet were overjoyed, but dared not make a sound for fear of disturbing Shi Xuan's enlightenment. They only showed various extremely happy facial expressions, some baring their teeth, some clenching their fists and shaking their shoulders, and some laughing exaggeratedly without making a sound.
The other group who guessed wrong were heartbroken over their lost spirit stones, showing expressions of deep sorrow.
The group of people from the Hidden Hidden Sect who came to pick them up exchanged glances, their eyes conveying the message that "the entire Converging Edge Sword Sect is not behaving normally."
Lei Zhi was also baffled. It was an excellent thing for a disciple to have an epiphany at the sect gate, and something the sect could be proud of. Shi Mingxiu's smug tone was understandable.
However, there were two things that he found very strange. First, enlightenment is an extremely random event, so how could they predict it? Second, all the disciples in the sect were in an extremely abnormal state, with all their faces distorted. Some were jubilant, while others looked as if they had lost their parents. What was going on?
Shi Mingxiu even sent a message saying he suspected their sect had been infiltrated by evil sects. Now it seems that it's their own sect that's acting strangely...
The chaotic scene of the demons dancing wildly lasted for quite a while before the disciples with their distorted expressions gradually calmed down.
But the disciple who had just attained enlightenment was still deeply immersed in it, and it was unknown when he would wake up. Shi Mingxiu also did not leave, and it seemed that he was going to wait for the disciple to complete his enlightenment.
Lei Zhi had no choice but to wait there with them, silently scolding his disciples in his heart. He hoped they would come to the mountain gate more often; the patriarch's opportunity was here, and they should have some enlightenment, instead of being ungrateful. Otherwise, it would only benefit other disciples, which would be unacceptable to him!
Shi Xuan's enlightenment lasted a long time, from morning until it was getting dark.
As expected of a major sect of talisman arrays, the spiritual energy in front of the mountain gate of the Luoyin Sect was already quite abundant. After a long period of enlightenment and the blessing of the "Life of All Things," Shi Xuan advanced another small level and successfully consolidated his new cultivation, reaching the third level of Foundation Establishment!
Sudden enlightenment is so rare that for most of the day, the masters and disciples waited for her with the curiosity of seeing something new, while also having their own internal monologues. For example, the peak masters once again lamented that they hadn't tried to recruit such a talented disciple, or Lin Daozi drank the fine wine offered by his disciples and marveled at his good fortune...
When Shi Xuan woke up, she saw so many people waiting for her and felt a little embarrassed. She scratched her head and said, "The teachers can go in first, they don't need to wait for me."
Shi Mingxiu looked at Shi Xuan with great affection: "Sudden enlightenment is no ordinary event. It's good to observe more. Maybe someone will learn it and have an enlightenment in the future!"
The disciples and elders of the Hidden Sect always felt that they were being subtly criticized, but they couldn't explain why.
The strange, distorted-faced people from the Lianfeng Sword Sect were finally able to speak, instantly turning the once quiet mountain gate into a bustling marketplace.
[Shi Xuan is too strong!]
[I knew it! Shi Xuan would never let any of the sects go!]
I lost so unfairly! I just find it hard to believe that these legendary moments of enlightenment happen so frequently...
[The bolder the man, the greater the harvest! Use the current situation as a wager, and just go for it!]
Let me calculate how many spirit stones I've won!
