Chapter 352 Interesting Matter (1/2)

With the masses of disciples returning, it was inevitable for them to have brought some hustle and bustle of the secular mortal world back to the peaceful and quiet Qing Xuan.

Most of them gathered at Yuyang Peak. Three years would pass very quickly when it is used to meditate and practice Qi. However, if it was used to fool around in the mortal world, gain experience and temper oneself in worldly affairs, it would not feel short.

That was why most of them felt as if they had been a century apart when reunited in the sect.

The bunch of disciples exchanged interesting stories that happened during their journey. There were even a few that met each other in person.

Choushi spoke lightly and relaxed in the midst of the disciples, his manner was mature.

Even though he did not speak much, the others noticed that after his return from his journey, his manner was extraordinary and unconsciously moved closer to him.

This was the sensitivity of a cultivator. Even though the masses did not know that Choushi had already achieved Huandan, but his extraordinary state would naturally show and be sensed by others.

”Speaking of which, I was on the sea for three months and I found a ripe ganoderma. Who knew, just as I was about to pick it up, one of the Seven Eastern Sea Cultivator, Yang Xian, poked his nose in. I remembered Headmaster's order and did not announce my identity. I did not expect that fellow, who supposedly was reputable amongst overseas cultivators to be actually quite obscene. He asked for my identity, I said I was merely a non-formal cultivator and without even saying another word, he drove his sword towards me.

Luckily, I met him with no one around, so I kept an eye and prepared my mana. I saw his sword coming and I swayed to dodge it. Both of us fought intensely and finally, he took a hit from my Thunder Palm and his body was paralyzed. I took this opportunity to break his flying sword and got hold of his orifices point.

Normally, as disciples of Qing Xuan, we would not really bother with the likes of him. But then I thought that this person saw me as a weak non-formal cultivator and actually wanted to kill me immediately over a ganoderma. It would seem that he had definitely committed many similar offenses back then. It was a great evil to not vanquish this bad fella, so I made up my mind and ended him right there.

Now that I realized, that was my first time taking a life.”

Then, a slightly chubby man told an interesting story about his adventure when he was out at the sea. It was his first time killing someone too, and it was a reputable cultivator. This left a deep impression on him and so happened that everyone was gathered together, so he told it.

”It was said that each of the Seven Eastern Sea Cultivators was Ruhua cultivators for many years. Yang Xian even heard the teachings of Fusang Sword Cultivator, Dong Ziyang. Think about it, Dong Ziyang was a key figure for over a hundred years in Eastern Sea. Even with that basic swordcraft tips from him, and Yang Xian's years of cultivation, it would still be extremely hard to deal with Yang Xian. Furthermore, cultivators from beyond the seas are rich with battle experience. To be able to defeat him, Senior Apprentice-Brother Jia must have superb Dao techniques. Since Senior Apprentice-Brother Jia did the heaven's a favor by eliminating Yang Xian, then you deservingly have the ganoderma. Why don't you take it out and give everyone a look?” The one who said this was Shoujing. He was someone who never knew his boundaries and nose into others' business, so he wanted to have a look of the ganoderma after he heard of the story.

Senior Apprentice-Brother Jia coughed slightly and replied, ”I have already used that ganoderma to save someone.”

Senior Apprentice-Brother Jia's original name was Jia Yili. Before the age of ten, he was a son from a wealthy family in the mortal world. However, at the age of ten, a Daoist came to his home and forcefully took him away and led him to Mount Qing Xuan to cultivate Dao.

It turned out the Daoist's surname was Yu. After tracing his roots, he was an ancestor of Jia Yili's mother. Now, he was an elder of Qing Xuan. Elder Yu was persistent in his pursuit of Dao but unfortunately, he was too caught up with this obsession and could not succeed on his Dao of Dan. He finally chose the path of external alchemy.

He was not someone who was willing to accept his fate. He then traveled far and wide, searching for a lucky chance to attain longevity. He idled until he was five hundred years old and finally, he was discouraged. He could not attain Dao by himself and so he placed this hope on a descendant. That was why he went to the mortal realm in search of a descendant of his own bloodline.

He thought that he could not achieve Huandan by himself was purely because his qualification was not enough.

That was why he wanted nothing more than to look for a qualified person amongst the descendants. Unfortunately, since he had been busy with cultivating Dao, he had not return for hundreds of years. His clan had actually become so sparse and most of the descendants were unpromising. Luckily, he found Jia Yili. Perhaps, since he was born in such a prestigious family, his mother had nourished herself with many expensive herbs and medicine while she was pregnant with him, so his qualifications met his requirement.
