The Emperor of Zongmen Workers is here
Chapter 19: Life is like a poem, opening up new opportunities (1)
In the Sishan Building of Wuliang Sect, the family competition that took place a month later has come to an end. The sect has not added any new members, but life is still peaceful and orderly.
After Jiang Qingwu repaired her spiritual roots, her cultivation level recovered rapidly and even reached the middle stage of Qi Refining, which made her full of confidence in the future.
Wuliang Sect, Sishan Tower.
That day, sunlight streamed through the windows of Sishan Building, spilling onto the warm dining table. As usual, Jiang Qingwu eagerly inquired about Pei Yi's meal. "Brother, what are we having today?" Jiang Qingwu's greatest joy was eating; it allowed her to appreciate life. Hadn't she worked so hard in her previous life just to live a carefree life?
"Eat fish!" Pei Yi said with a smile.
Pei Yi brought a large basin of delicious fish to the table, and a group of younger generations sat in a row. Except for Pei Yi and Jiang Qingwu, the other ninety-ninth generation disciples would only occasionally join in the meal. The one hundredth generation disciples were still in the stage of training from Qi to Golden Elixir, so Pei Yi's food could play a big role in their cultivation. Secondly, they were still young and could not give up their appetite for the time being, so their eyes were shining with anticipation for the food.
The fish porridge that Pei Yi specially prepared for Jiang Qingwu was not only delicious, but also contained elixirs that could restore vitality. This made her feel a warm current flowing through her body. Jiang Qingwu savored the care from her sixth senior brother with a look of satisfaction on her face.
Just then, Lin Muci's voice rang out. She coquettishly leaned against Jiang Qingwu, her eyes filled with longing for the fish porridge. There was a hint of playfulness in her tone, "Junior Master, it smells so good! I want some fish porridge too! Can I have a bite?" This made it difficult for Jiang Qingwu to refuse.
"Eat, eat, eat! Eat big mouthfuls!" Big cat, hey, big cat! Jiang Qingwu was delighted. Cats really do "respect the old and love the young". Why didn't he see the second nephew sticking to others, but only to him?
In fact, even though Lin Muci has reached the Golden Core stage, he is still just a child in the demon world, only fifty years old.
"delicious."
Seeing Lin Muci putting spoonful after spoonful into his mouth, Pei Yi hurriedly stopped him on the fifth spoonful, "Hey, hey, hey, don't steal your junior uncle's food. I prepared an extra bowl for you." She knew very well how much this spirit cat niece loved fish, so how could she not prepare an extra bowl for her?
"Thank you, Sixth Uncle!" Lin Muci didn't have time to say anything else, his eyes were full of his fish porridge.
"Uncle Master...I too..." Feng Ci just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by another voice.
"Your senior sister is a cat, and so are you? Or is this huge bowl of fish on the table not enough for you?" Zhongli Xiu said calmly, glancing at his new junior brother. He was a teenager, but he acted like a child, wanting to eat when others wanted to. "Those who cultivate must abstain from food, understand?" he said, tucking into the steamed fish on the table.
"Ahem, little senior uncle has just repaired her spiritual roots, and her body is rather weak. Sixth senior uncle specially made a diet therapy for her. Your second senior sister, ahem, is just a glutton, so don't learn from her." Feng Jingchen earnestly advised the little junior brother who was just eleven years old.
"Blame me, blame me. I'll cook more fish porridge in the evening. Come over for dinner after practicing. It's guaranteed." Pei Yi looked at these juniors lovingly.
"Uncle Master! I'll sponsor ten fathead fish! They make the most delicious porridge and are easy to preserve spiritual energy." Zhongli Xiu's movements were graceful and swift. He walked to the fish tank, bent slightly, and the phantom of a dragon's head materialized under his control. His mouth seemed to connect to another world, and ten fathead fish swam out of it, landing lively and bouncing into the fish tank. — This is a reference to the setting in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, where a dragon's mouth connects to the sea.
At this moment, Feng Jingchen and Pei Yi were already accustomed to such scenes. However, Lin Muci stood aside, his mouth watering at the thought of tonight's sumptuous meal. Meanwhile, Feng Ci and Jiang Qingwu stared with eyes wide open, their mouths agape, their faces filled with disbelief! They secretly sighed, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas is true! It turns out a dragon's mouth can actually lead to the sea! Today, we witnessed a real-life example!"
Zhongli Xiu, having just finished preparing his dinner, leisurely returned to his seat. He was graceful and elegant, seemingly oblivious to the slightly comical appearance he'd made when he'd just taken the fish out of his mouth.
Pei Yi looked at Feng Ci and Jiang Qingwu with an awkward smile on her face, and advised them earnestly: "Remember to pay attention to your image when you go out, Third Junior Brother." However, what she did not expect was that what these two people said next was a completely different tone.
Feng Ci exclaimed loudly with admiration: "Third brother, you are so handsome!" Then, Jiang Qingwu also exclaimed excitedly: "Wow, so cool! It's awesome! Third nephew, this way of making money is absolutely reliable! Otherwise, you can rely on selling fish to support our entire Wuliang Sect!" Obviously, they were extremely excited about the unique abilities displayed by Zhongli Xiu, and believed that this was undoubtedly a convenient and practical way to make a fortune!
"Junior uncle, you're joking. The world of cultivation consumes a lot of fish. It's not convenient to keep your mouth open like this all the time. It will tire you to death." Zhongli Xiu refused three times in a row. The thought of himself taking fish out of his mouth non-stop made his teeth ache and his face turned pale.
"It's not as easy to make money from Third Junior Brother's weapon forging as it is from his fish business," Feng Jingchen, standing nearby, said in relief. His voice was like the ethereal and melodious sound of a spring in a deep valley, or like the gurgling of a stream, melodious and lingering, like the sound of nature, enchanting one. "Third Junior Brother's weapon forging was learned from Second Junior Uncle, a genius in the Dongxu Realm."
Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but be mesmerized by the music, secretly sighing inwardly, "I've come to the right place, Wuliang Sect! For those obsessed with music, this is simply a paradise—Feng Jingchen's heavenly voice is intoxicating; and for those obsessed with looks, the entire sect is undoubtedly a paradise. And then there's Lin Muci, the dream paradise for fur lovers; and Pei Yi, the gourmet paradise that foodies yearn for. I'm truly grateful once again to He Yihuan, who is like a reborn parent to me. It's just that the threshold for joining the sect is a bit high..."
However, Jiang Qingwu quickly changed her mind, thinking that this was fine. The higher the better! Because only in this way could she ensure that no one would compete with her for these wonderful things! Thinking of this, she excitedly shouted, "I'm done!" Then she couldn't wait to practice! After all, time flies when practicing, and dinner time can be approached faster!
So, she said goodbye to her senior brother, "Senior Brother! I'm returning to Tingxue Peak to continue my cultivation!" As soon as she finished speaking, she unleashed the Star River Escape Technique, flashing every ten miles. After flashing ten times in a row, she finally arrived at Tingxue Peak. She muttered to herself with joy, "Yesterday it took me eleven tries to get back, but today it only took ten! You're making progress, Jiang Qingwu!" Then, she sat down on the ground and began to cultivate.
Meanwhile, Feng Jingchen and the others were deeply inspired by Jiang Qingwu's exceptional talent and his continued diligence. They quickly devoured the remaining food on the table, devouring it in the blink of an eye like a gust of wind. Then, they all rose, preparing to bid farewell to Pei Yi and leave.
"Sixth Uncle, I have washed the dishes, you can take a rest." Feng Jingchen Yujue washed the dirty dishes with the Water Control Technique and the Dust Cleansing Technique and was about to go practice.
"Brother, Junior-Master is still young, yet he's already reached the middle stage of Qi Refining, just like me! Oh no, Master's going to have to train me twice as hard!" Feng Ci complained to Feng Jingchen with a look of sorrow on his face. His hands trembled uncontrollably at the thought of Master Chenbai's perverse training methods. It turned out that he and his master were both Formation Masters, and the so-called training consisted of Master holding thick formation diagrams and asking him to calculate them one by one.
At this moment, Zhongli Xiu happened to pass by and overheard Feng Ci's complaints. He couldn't help but smirked and said, "Hey, little junior brother, you are a lucky man to be able to learn formations from Second Uncle!" Feng Ci was embarrassed when he heard that, and quickly responded with a smile, "Third uncle, please stop making fun of me." However, Zhongli Xiu didn't seem to intend to give up. Instead, he said more complacently, "Hahaha, this blessing will only increase continuously and will never decrease!" After that, he laughed to himself.
Zhongli Xiu smiled, his mind recounting the blessed years he'd spent learning weapon forging from his Second Uncle. Now, finally, someone else was sharing this unique blessing. How could he not feel exhilarated? As he thought about it, his smile grew wilder, as if he were releasing all the pent-up joy within him.
"Junior Brother, Third Uncle-Master will personally examine your progress in cultivating the Taiyi Wuliang Jue this afternoon." Lin Muci's voice came slowly, as if with a hint of teasing. Zhong Lixiu felt his legs go weak upon hearing this, and he almost lost his balance. Oh my! How could he have completely forgotten such an important thing? This is really terrible! The thought of Third Uncle-Master's stern face and his strict, almost harsh, demands filled Zhong Lixiu's heart with fear.
Having Uncle Lin was a blessing for him! After all, in their Wuliang Sect, due to the scarcity of inner disciples, each disciple received special attention and training. Although Zhongli Xiu was registered under Shi An's name, in reality, in order to better tailor teaching to each student's aptitude and enable each disciple to maximize their potential, everyone sought guidance from a corresponding uncle based on their strengths.
"Alright, alright, enough joking. I have to hurry up and go. If I'm late, I won't get any fish porridge tonight!" Zhongli Xiu muttered as he couldn't wait to use the Star River Escape Technique and rushed towards the Law Hall like lightning.
After a period of joyful frolicking, everyone returned to their respective places of focused practice, devoting themselves to quiet meditation.
Lin Muci once again immersed himself in refining his own elixir formula, tirelessly experimenting with new combinations of various spiritual herbs with unique medicinal properties, hoping to create an even more superior and perfect elixir. Meanwhile, Feng Jingchen tirelessly honed his own musical composition. He ingeniously incorporated the Art of Taming Beasts into his musical practice, eager to discover some unique results.
At that moment, Zhongli Xiu arrived, anxious yet perfectly timed. Lin Feixue, who had been waiting for him, saw him emerge, a flicker of alarm in her eyes. Zhongli Xiu's heart tightened, alarm bells ringing. Without hesitation, he attacked, shouting, "Uncle-master, take this! Look at my sword!" Lin Feixue quickly dodged the attack, easily blocking it. Raising an eyebrow, she asked, "What? Are you planning to defeat me with this unexpected tactic?" Zhongli Xiu's face turned bitter, and he groaned, "Alas, how dare my nephew have such an unreasonable thought? I beg you, Uncle-master, to be merciful and forgive me!" He muttered to himself, wondering if his hasty attack was simply a fear of being questioned about his tardiness, an attempt to divert attention from the situation and avoid any further consequences.
"Well, then, let me see just how profound your Taiyi Wuliang Jue has become." Lin Feixue was well aware of her nephew's intentions, but she didn't expose them. Instead, she went along with them. Before she finished speaking, the two of them engaged in a fierce exchange. For a moment, the flashes of swords and sabers crisscrossed in a dazzling display, their figures becoming blurred and indistinguishable.
At night, Sishanlou.
The aroma of the food seemed to have life, wafting away like silk, quickly filling every corner of the Sishan Building. This alluring fragrance was like an invisible hand, gently tugging at people's noses and taste buds, making its temptation irresistible.
As expected, at dinnertime, the young generation, who had been longing for the delicious fish congee, arrived on time. Their faces were filled with anticipation, clearly eager for the delicious food they were about to taste. And accompanying these young generation was the stunningly beautiful Senior Sister Lin.
She was only heard saying, "Hmph, today I want to see what kind of delicious dishes your Uncle Pei has made that can actually fascinate you so much that you even forget about important things like practicing sword skills, and you even dare to be late!" After hearing this, Zhongli Xiu, who was standing next to him, scratched his head awkwardly and muttered in response, "I... I'm not late, Uncle Pei, please don't talk nonsense." However, just as he finished speaking, Lin Feixue's sharp eyes shot him a glance, which scared Zhongli Xiu so much that he immediately shut his mouth, not daring to make any sound, and stood there motionless like a frightened quail.
Meanwhile, several other juniors, led by Lin Muci, hid to the side, quietly covering their mouths and laughing, seemingly mocking Zhongli Xiu's current embarrassment. Their eyes revealed a hint of gloating, and the whole scene seemed both amusing and lively.
Things like these happen every day in Wuliang Sect. There is no time in the mountains, and the years are endless. These interesting things are also a great diversion during the practice. Jiang Qingwu thought so on the way back to Tingxue Peak.
