37 Experiential Learning at the Clear Sky Peak (1/2)

“What? You want to go to the Clear Sky Peak?”

Outside the Teng Cloud Hall at the Misty Peak, a tall senior disciple in black and white clothes looked at the younger brother before him with a look of surprise… Oh, wrong. The one in front of him wore a red and white gown, so it should be his senior brother.

The red and white disciple responded his surprise with a nod. “Yes, my Master said I have to register to Senior Brother Yue, is that right?”

The black and white disciple wryly smiled. “Yes, I am indeed responsible for organizing this experiential learning to the Clear Sky Peak. It’s just that… I didn’t expect a Successor Disciple to register. And, pardon my faux pas, Senior Brother, but in the past, only disciples who, at least, already started qi cultivating can participate. As far as I know, this event has never been participated by disciples who were still in the body refining stage.”

There was another thing that the disciple in black and white didn’t dare to say out loud.

Even if a disciple was still in the body refining stage, that disciple could still temper his or her body at the experiential learning, but now...The disciple in black and white didn’t see any progression in this red and white disciple towards the martial art master of Xiantian Stage.

However, he didn’t want to think about this too much. For an inner court disciple who had reached the sixth level of the Qi Cultivating Stage in four years, he had no right to make the decision to approve this registration or not. Thus, he simply went back to his Master and let the respected old-self make a decision.

“Oh, really? That kid Wang Lu also wants to participate in this experiential learning?”

At the Misty Peak, Liu Xian was surprised to hear the report from his disciple.

“Report, Master, he did say so. This thing is really irrational. Usually, there are only very few Successor Disciples who participate in this experiential learning. Moreover, his cultivation is not up to standard. According to my observation, at most, he is only at the second or third level of Body Refining Stage. He still needs some training time before he reaches the peak Body Refining Stage; he doesn’t meet the minimum requirement to participate in this experiential learning, which is Qi Cultivating Stage. Nevertheless, he is, after all, a Successor Disciple, so I don’t know how to refuse him, therefore…”

Before he finished his sentence, Liu Xian flicked his wrist to interrupt him. “No need to decline, just allow him to participate.”

The disciple looked up in surprise. “But, Master, it’s already hard enough for the two of us, Junior Sister and I, to take care of the four newcomers. If we add another one who was still in the Body Refining Stage, we wouldn’t be able to guarantee his safety.”

“It doesn’t matter. You don’t need to provide absolute safety for them. If you take care everything for them, how could they learn from this experience? If you do that, this is nothing more than a sightseeing trip! Moreover, since that Wang Lu is the disciple of the Non-Phase Peak, you don’t need to care for his safety. You ought to focus your attention on the four newcomers instead, and you and Huo Ying should be enough.”

The black and white disciple was surprised. “I don’t need to care for his safety? How could this be!? Although I knew Master and Martial Aunt of the Non-Phase Peak don’t stay on good terms, but, but wouldn’t this be called implicating the innocent…?”

“Alright, Yue Yun, as the organizer for this trip to the Clear Sky Peak, you still need to arrange a lot of things. You better go now and prepare them properly. If you have something you don’t understand, don’t hesitate to ask a more experienced senior brother. If you need to, you can also ask the disciples from the Carefree Peak. Be sure to get things right, understand?”

“Yes, Master!”

——

“Senior Brother, your application has already been accepted by Master. Next week at this time, we’ll gather here and depart to the Clear Sky Peak together.”

Then, Yue Yun hesitated for a moment before adding, “In this week, please prepare yourself, Senior Brother. And don’t forget to intensify your training. Although we’re not going to go too deep into the Clear Sky Peak and we’re only going to reach the boundary of the Azure Dragon Gorge at most, but… there are still risks. Martial Sister Huo Ying and I started cultivating two years ahead of you, so our cultivation is not that high, and there will be a time when we’ll not be able to help.”

Wang Lu replied, “Rest assured, when the time comes, I’ll be sure to lend my hand to help you we are all fellow disciples after all. If you need my help, you just have to say it, no need to be so polite.”

“... Then, I wish you well, Senior Brother.”

When he turned away, this black and white disciple wryly smiled in his heart. “Non-Phase Peak is really worthy of its fame. This guy is so amazing at the Immortal Gathering, but after just two years of training there, he already has a brain problem.”

——

A week later, Wang Lu didn’t waste any of his time. His Non-Phase Sword Bone’s cultivation continued to advance, however, the progress had obviously encountered a bottleneck; the eighth layer couldn’t be opened. On the bright side, the positive effect of the Seventh Layer had emerged little by little. In his daily training, he always felt that there was a trace of gentle force dispersed into his four limbs and hundreds of bones. He only needed to wait for an opportune time to break out of his “cocoon” and amaze the world.

Although this opportune time seemed nowhere in sight, Wang Lu had already vaguely understood that this Non-Phase Sword Bone was not a rip-off method.
