Primordial Qi

The fat Taoist priest was also guessing the origins of these two people. Their clothes were relatively simple, not like the decorations of aristocratic families. It was not something that ordinary families could afford to support them to cultivate to the Gathering Spirit Realm at such a young age. With such qualifications, they would be core disciples here.

"I am Wang Xuanzhi, also known as the Taoist of Hundred Birds, and I am also a guest elder of our Qingming Sect."

Wang Xuanzhi introduced himself, and Gu Chenyu was also shocked. A person with the cultivation level of a monarch ran over to greet him. Wouldn't this shorten his own life?

"The Qingming Sect has a total of twenty-six peaks, three of which are main peaks and twenty-three are secondary peaks. Each peak can open up thousands of caves. I wonder if the young lady is willing to lead a peak and become the master of a peak?" Wang Xuanzhi asked.

Gu Qingxue did not say anything, but took a sip of wine. In front of her were a lot of delicacies from mountains and seas, all of which were extremely rare spiritual objects. It can be seen that the Qingming Sect attaches great importance to celestial cultivators.

"Haha, don't worry, Miss Song. Although our Qingming Sect has just been established, we have the Southern King behind us, so our future development is naturally limitless. We only have three monarchs on the surface, but in fact we have five, and two more monarchs are on their way. Our strength is very strong." Wang Xuanzhi said with a smile, poured a glass of wine for Gu Qingxue, and continued: "Joining our Qingming Sect now will give you a chance to explore the secret realm. Heavenly Realm strongmen can also go in to explore, and anything you get inside will belong to that person, and the sect will not ask you to hand it over."

"Well, senior, why don't you tell me about this Qingming Secret Realm." Gu Qingxue said.

“Hahaha, okay, after all, my Qingming Sect has released this news so naturally we are prepared. If the lady wants to listen, then I will tell you.” Wang Xuanzhi laughed even more happily. He is not afraid of you asking, but he is afraid that you will not ask, otherwise he will not be able to keep you.

The Qingming Secret Realm is the inheritance left by an ancient sword immortal. It contains countless treasures and spiritual weapons. The weapons obtained by the people in the Southern Palace over the years are enough to fully arm an entire sect. This secret realm has only been in the world for a hundred years, and only the people in the Southern Palace have entered it. The things inside are naturally still extremely rich. It is not impossible to get a monarch-level weapon if you are lucky.

The most attractive thing inside is not these secret treasures, but the sword-wielding inheritance. It contains not only the Qingming sword intent, but also other sword intents. There is even a heaven-defying thing like the Enlightenment Stone. Unfortunately, its role in the secret realm is limited and it can only be used to suddenly realize the sword intent. Otherwise, it will not be the turn of the celestial being to comprehend this secret realm.

.........

Wang Xuanzhi's lips were dry from talking, and he took a sip of wine before continuing, "Don't worry, we are sure to make money. The things in the secret realm are extraordinary. Your nephew can get a lot of good things in the outer area, which will be of great benefit to his cultivation."

Gu Chenyu and Gu Qingxue also understood what was inside the Qingming Secret Realm, so they decided to stay and take a look at the Qingming Secret Realm when the time comes.

"In that case, I will stay and serve as the master of a peak. But what should you do with my nephew?" Gu Qingxue said.

“Hahaha, I can arrange for you to practice on your mountain. Everyone comes here with their family, so it’s convenient to take care of them.” Wang Xuanzhi laughed and indicated that he could go through the back door.

"Let him study with those new disciples. I like quietness and he is too noisy." Gu Qingxue looked at Gu Chenyu, paying attention to the changes on his face.

Unfortunately, she didn't see what she wanted to see. She only saw Gu Chenyu smiling and agreeing to start as a junior disciple. Gu Qingxue felt a little angry. She let him follow her just because he gave in. What did he mean by saying happily that he was willing to go down the mountain? Did he despise her?

"That's great. Miss Song likes quietness. There is a quiet place in the back mountain. Master Song, would you mind giving this peak a name?" Wang Xuanzhi asked tentatively.

"Okay, then we'll call it Wanqiu Peak. Can we only accept female disciples?" Gu Qingxue smiled slightly, not seeming so unkind.

"Of course you can. The peak masters of each peak have the final say on whether to recruit disciples. Peak Master Song is the first female peak master of our Qingming Sect. We can fully meet this requirement." Wang Xuanzhi said with a smile. This could just solve the arrangement of many female disciples, so why not do it?

After eating and drinking, the two came to Wanqiu Peak, one of the twenty-three peaks. Gu Chenyu decided to sleep in the same building with Gu Qingxue tonight. He was still a little scared of being in an unfamiliar place.

"What are you doing? Are you my Wanqiu Peak's disciple? Don't you know that I only accept female disciples?" Gu Qingxue said with a cold face.

"No, dear sister, stop it. You can't let me sleep in the open air. We don't even have any spirit stones left."

"What does it have to do with me? Go find someplace to have fun."

Being ruthlessly driven down the mountain, Gu Chenyu's expression was a little dazed. This woman was really not nice.

He thought he would be one of the original shareholders, but he didn't expect that he would have to start all over again on his own. Faced with such a huge sect, Gu Chenyu found it difficult to adapt for a while.

Well, I'll just sleep on the floor. It doesn't matter.

After waking up, Gu Chenyu only felt sore back and waist. He didn't sleep well that night, so he lay at the foot of Wanqiu Peak all night.

"This woman is so cruel. I thought I would wake up in a warm bed, but I was left freezing here all night."

Gu Chenyu straightened his clothes and tried to make himself look as presentable as possible. There would surely be some entrance examination or something like that, so he had to be prepared.

Just as he was about to get up, a woman in blue appeared in front of him. Gu Chenyu turned his head away angrily, not wanting to pay attention to Gu Qingxue.

"Are you angry?" Gu Qingxue asked in surprise. This kid was actually angry with her.

"No, you are the master of a peak, how dare I be angry with you." Gu Chenyu said respectfully, his tone very calm.

Gu Qingxue also knew that she had gone too far. After all, the man in front of her was still young and might act childishly, so she tried to speak in a gentle tone, "It's my fault, calm down. I asked you to come down the mountain to give you some experience, don't take it too seriously."

Gu Chenyu looked up and was a little surprised to see Gu Qingxue in front of him who seemed to be acting cute. She could actually coax people?

"I'm not angry, I just don't understand why you suddenly become like this. You don't look like the Fairy Han." Gu Chenyu said.

"Fairy Han is also a human being. I have always been practicing alone and have not been in the world for as long as you have, so it is normal for me to be a little playful. Do you like the cold me?" Gu Qingxue's eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of loneliness.

Gu Chenyu's heart softened. What he said was true. Maybe his mind was not mature enough. He was just a child who had lived a little longer.

"Don't worry, we are friends for life and death, it's not easy for me to be angry with you." Gu Chenyu said with a smile.

"So you forgive me?"

There was a slight tremor in Gu Qingxue's voice. When she saw the impatience and indifference on Gu Chenyu's face, she felt a little scared. She was afraid that Gu Chenyu would ignore her, and she was even more afraid that she would lose such a close friend because of her playfulness.

"What forgiveness or not? Actually, I'm still angry." Gu Chenyu pretended to be angry with a frown.

"what?"

Gu Qingxue was obviously stunned and didn't know what was going on.

"I was sleeping at the foot of the mountain. How could you be so cruel to let me freeze all night?" asked Gu Chenyu.

"I, I, I...we are all cultivators, this is nothing." Gu Qingxue said a little embarrassedly.

"Okay, I forgive you. It's really nothing. If I were still a mortal, I would have a sore back and frozen bones the next day after sleeping here for a night."

"It's so serious." Gu Qingxue said, covering her mouth.

"Stop chatting. Do you know when the Qingming Secret Realm will be open?" asked Gu Chenyu.

"It will be open to cultivators at the Jindan level and above after three years." Gu Qingxue said.

"What? Three years? Forming a pill?"

Gu Chen Yuqi was itching to resent the old men in the Qingming Sect. They were really cowardly. They made people work for free for three years.

"Wouldn't that mean I'd have worked for three years in vain?" asked Gu Chenyu.

"That's not the case. The conditions given by Sect Leader Wang are still tempting. Ten top-grade spirit stones and ten thousand high-grade spirit stones every month, as well as elixirs, secret techniques, and even all the cultivation resources of the peak are given to me." Gu Qingxue thought carefully about the conditions given by Wang Xuanzhi, which seemed not bad.

Gu Chenyu's eyes almost popped out. So much for a month? And top-grade spirit stones?

Seeing Gu Chenyu's surprised expression, Gu Qingxue finally felt relieved, and the slight unhappiness disappeared.

"Yes, these five spirit stones are for you. The spiritual power absorbed by the five elements' spiritual roots is too complex. With these five top-grade spirit stones, your cultivation speed will increase a lot. And there is this storage ring, which contains several sets of clothes, including disciple uniforms and deacon's clothes." Gu Qingxue listed them all. These were all things she had asked Wang Xuanzhi for. However, it was unknown how many years Gu Chenyu had to endure as a disciple. With this deacon token, even if she had not yet formed a pill, she could have a little bit of power.

"A deacon can get 300 mid-grade spirit stones every month, a bottle of realm-breaking elixir corresponding to the realm, and various skills. The treatment is quite good." Gu Qingxue said.

"Indeed, the Qingming Sect can provide so many resources and the treatment is very good." Gu Chenyu couldn't help but smile after putting on the deacon's uniform. The size of this uniform can be adjusted by oneself and it fits him very well.
