Borrowing a sword

Chapter 8 It’s you
Chu Huaixu looked around and took a deep breath.

"The air in the Taoist temple is so fresh!" he thought to himself.

This is not an illusion.

Although we are currently in the outer area, the spiritual energy here is much denser than outside thanks to the spirit-gathering array.

Ordinary people who stay here, even without cultivating, will have better health and live longer.

Li Chunsong looked at the two of them and said, "The place where the Taoist sect is located is called 'Mountain Beyond the Mountain,' which I think you two must know."

"The mountains beyond the mountains are divided into several areas. The place you are in now is called [Medicine Mountain], which is one of the three peaks of the outer sect."

"From this moment forward, you two will be disciples of my Daoist sect."

When Chu Huaixu played the game, his main account was, after all, a disciple of Chunqiu Mountain, so he was quite familiar with the hierarchical system of such a major sect.

When one first joins a sect, one usually starts as a registered disciple.

The status of a registered disciple is only slightly higher than that of an outer sect servant; they still have to do the same work.

The servants do odd jobs, while the disciples at [Medicine Mountain] probably take care of the medicinal herbs.

Besides, servants will not be taught any cultivation techniques, while disciples will be taught the cultivation techniques for the [Breakthrough and Body Tempering Stage].

Once you break through to the Qi Refining stage, you can be promoted to an outer disciple.

Above that are the inner disciples and the true disciples.

Chu Huaixu never imagined that he, who entered the sect with Han Shuangjiang, would start as a nominal disciple.

"No, I don't really care. After all, my original task was to sneak in as a handyman, so this is a promotion." He thought to himself.

"But Han Shuangjiang is a protagonist in the world, does she really have no dignity?"

In his memory, "Borrowing Swords" began its open beta in 1991, and at that time, Han Shuangjiang was already an inner disciple of the Taoist sect.

"So, in other words, she actually advanced directly to the inner sect within a year?" He had a guess in his mind.

As the Sixth Elder Li Chunsong looked at the two, the smile on his face gradually faded, and a powerful sense of oppression emanated from his body, enveloping them.

"You will come to Wumeng Mountain at midnight tonight, presumably because you have met a storyteller."

"I hope you keep this matter to yourselves and don't mention it to anyone, understand?" he said in a deep voice.

After speaking, he first looked at Han Shuangjiang.

Han Shuangjiang immediately replied, "Yes, disciple obeys."

Then, he turned his gaze to Chu Huaixu.

After a moment's thought, Chu Huaixu deliberately replied, "This disciple has never seen any storyteller."

Upon hearing this, Han Shuangjiang couldn't help but glance at him.

Upon hearing this, Li Chunsong smiled slightly and said, "Good! Very good, you certainly have a sharp tongue!"

The Sixth Elder expressed his satisfaction.

“Remember, neither of you has ever seen a storyteller!” he emphasized again, raising his hand to end the conversation and signal that the matter should not be discussed further.

After giving instructions to the two, the Sixth Elder, who always lost at gambling, waved his hand and removed the surrounding restrictions.

The conversation between the three of them was inaudible to outsiders unless the other party's cultivation level was significantly higher than Li Chunsong's.

"You two, each give me a drop of your fingertip blood." He spoke again: "I will personally craft [Life Tablets] for you; when you die, the Life Tablets will shatter!"

Fate tablets are not rare items; their purpose is to tell others whether you are dead or alive, and where you died.

Even Xue Hu, the good-for-nothing who was killed instantly by Chu Huaixu, possessed his own life token, which attracted the police to launch a manhunt.

Of course, even among the same type of life tablet, there are definitely differences in their levels.

The main difference lies in the second function – where did you die?

The higher the grade of the divination card, the wider its [positioning] range.

If someone like Xue Hu died somewhere too far away, his location would be impossible to pinpoint.

"It seems the Daoist sect values ​​us quite a bit, since Li Chunsong personally crafted the life tablets," Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

"But why do we have to start as registered disciples?" he asked, slightly puzzled.

Chu Huaixu has essentially stolen Xu Ziqing's "script." He thought he could get some preferential treatment as the "protagonist of the world," but he didn't expect that he would still have to start from the bottom.

With a wave of his hand, Li Chunsong conjured two blue ice spikes out of thin air. They were very sharp, like two needles.

Han Shuangjiang was the first to raise her index finger and gently touch the tip of the ice spike, causing a wound.

A drop of blood fell and floated towards the Sixth Elder.

Li Chunsong raised his hand, letting it float in his palm, and then his expression changed slightly.

"The Profound Yin Body?" "I never expected that you would have the Profound Yin Body."

He clicked his tongue in amazement and continued, "The founder of our Taoist sect was a Pure Yang Body, which is on par with the Xuan Yin Body."

Li Chunsong looked at Han Shuangjiang, intending to offer some insights into the secrets of this constitution, but ultimately hesitated to speak due to the difference between men and women.

"There are some things you need to pay attention to regarding your constitution. I'll have Elder Jiu come and talk to you about them later," he simply said.

As Chu Huaixu listened to these words, he had some guesses in his mind.

He didn't know what was special about the Xuan Yin Body, or what precautions he needed to take.

However, the specific information about the pure yang body of this founder of the Taoist sect has been uncovered by players.

"The Daoist Ancestor, nicknamed by players on the forum as the strongest virgin in the Eastern Continent, is an old virgin."

A person with a pure yang body can advance rapidly in cultivation simply by maintaining their primordial yang energy.

The stronger this Taoist ancestor is, the more it proves that his primordial yang has not been depleted, and the higher the "chastity arch" can be erected.

I've heard that back in the era when the Dao Ancestor roamed the Xuanhuang Realm, some of his old rivals used to tease him about this.

Some unofficial historical records even claim that some of his defeated subordinates, as well as his bitter enemies who hated him to the core, had considered plotting to have him raped.
Unofficial historical records also state that the female mountain lord of Chunqiu Mountain mentioned this point many times in her diary and wanted to personally take to the field, but unfortunately she was no match for her.

Chu Huaixu could guess how many times the Dao Ancestor would have to go through the honey trap in that era.

Such a strong person must be admired by countless people. How many times will he remain unmoved by temptation?
"As for the mysteries of the Xuan Yin Body, let's see if we have a chance to find out later." His curiosity was piqued again.

Just then, Li Chunsong turned his gaze to Chu Huaixu.

You could tell from his eyes that he was full of anticipation.

"I'd like to see just how many surprises you two can bring me," Li Chunsong thought with burning excitement.

Han Shuangjiang, who was wearing a veil, also looked at the fox-faced man with a bit of curiosity in her heart.

Although she doesn't understand what the Xuan Yin Body is, the fact that it can startle even the dignified Sixth Elder must be a rare sight in the world.

Moreover, this physique of hers was never detected when she was in the Joyful Sect!
A mediocre sect is a mediocre sect; it's just lame!

The icy woman stared ahead, thinking to herself, "And what about him?"

Chu Huaixu nonchalantly raised his index finger and, following suit, gently poked the blue ice spike.

A sharp pain shot through my fingertip, and blood began to flow.

Li Chunsong used his divine sense to probe the area and then uttered a sound: "Hmm?"

He glanced at Chu Huaixu, then, still unconvinced, examined him again, and uttered another sound: "Hmm?"

In the end, he could only manage to say, "That's all for now, that's all for now."

Chu Huaixu understood the meaning behind it and didn't care at all.

No player's account comes with any extraordinary physical attributes or talents.

It all depends on your own leveling up later, or on luck, or by completing some hidden quests.

Therefore, he could have guessed the outcome long ago.

After finishing his tasks, Li Chunsong glanced at the courtyard not far away, circulated his spiritual power, and transmitted his voice, "Niu Yuanshan, come out and see me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came out from the courtyard and respectfully bowed, saying, "Niu Yuanshan greets the Sixth Elder."

This man appears to be middle-aged, with a square face that exudes righteousness; he would be perfect for playing a just and upright official in a period drama.

I just don't know why, but she has a somewhat bitter look on her face.

To be honest, he did feel bitter inside.

He had an organizational mission tonight and went out for a while; he just returned not long ago.

Well, now the Sixth Elder has called me out again.

It's already past midnight, are both sides treating me like a beast of burden?
"This is Niu Yuanshan, an outer sect steward," Li Chunsong introduced to Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang.

Then he instructed Niu Yuanshan: "They are disciples I personally brought back. Make arrangements for them."

"Yes, sir." Niu Yuanshan then raised his head and looked at them, his heart filled with curiosity.

How could a mere registered disciple trouble the Sixth Elder?
When his gaze fell on Chu Huaixu, Chu Huaixu was also looking at him.

A surge of emotion welled up within them, and the same thought instantly crossed their minds:

"How could it be him!?"
