"Yes," Li Jincheng nodded, "there are also disciples from the sect below my Fuguang Sect, as well as some outside disciples with good qualifications."
"I know about the outer disciples, but why haven't I seen the disciples from the lower sect?" Zhao Shitou looked at Li Jincheng curiously.
The two eyes seeking knowledge made Li Jincheng happy, making him feel that he was taken seriously and that he was better than the two in terms of being well-informed.
He has never been afraid of giving love and care to the losers, and told all the news he learned.
"If an outer sect disciple has received Qi within one year, or if the master has made a high contribution and used the sect's rewards on him, he can come to the valley and stay for ten years to try to conquer the heavenly spiritual energy."
"Where are the disciples from the sect below?"
"They live on the other side of the valley and I haven't seen them either."
Li Jincheng enjoyed this process very much. He picked the leaves that were floating on his shoulders and slowly said:
"These sects are affiliated with my Fuguang Sect. The sect takes pity on them and allows them to send a group of inner disciples every ten years to practice in the valley and conquer the heavenly spiritual energy."
Xia Jing frowned, then quickly relaxed his eyebrows. Only Shui Xin noticed the young man's expression.
Li Jincheng continued: "In the past hundred years, the master has also allowed these subordinate disciples to enjoy the treatment of our Qifeng disciples. They are provided with Qi-inducing pills. After being incorporated into the Tianling Qi, they can also receive rewards according to the level of Tianling Qi."
"The sect is kind." Zhao Shitou sighed.
Xia Jing thought, this is not kindness.
The Heavenly Spiritual Energy discovered by the affiliated sects all went into the Spiritual Energy Valley of Fuguang Sect. Those disciples only came to the Spiritual Energy Valley to take back the Heavenly Spiritual Energy that they handed over.
There may be some individual sects whose disciples have outstanding qualifications or are favored by God, and they have received first- and second-grade heavenly spiritual energy and returned to their roots. Most of the affiliated sects are losing money and are being harvested by Fuguang Sect.
The Shangyuan Sect is the same as the Fuguang Sect.
This is the world of cultivation, the most authentic appearance of the Penglai Continent. Thousands of years of peace have only put the plunder of the former massacres and sects under the cloak of civilization.
As evening approached, the group completed a small circle and returned to their residence at the foot of Biting Sun Peak.
"The three junior brothers have returned with Xuntian spiritual energy?" A figure said to Xia Jing and the others from afar.
He was wearing a bright white gown. The sun was behind him, and the light cast his shadow very long.
"It's Senior Brother Liu Huaiyu who is in charge of affairs in the valley." Zhao Shitou introduced Xia Jing in a low voice.
Liu Huaiyu was followed by an outer disciple. The two parties came closer. The outer disciple lowered his head and muttered that he had met the three senior brothers. He hesitated and looked at Shui Xin standing behind Xia Jing, not knowing her identity.
"Junior Sister Shui Xin's style remains the same." Liu Huaiyu looked at Shui Xin and smiled.
The outer disciples were busy saluting Senior Sister Shui Xin.
"Brother, why are you here?" Zhao Shitou asked.
"Something happened among the outer disciples because they were fighting for a piece of heavenly spiritual energy."
"Senior brother, it's hard work." Li Jincheng interrupted and asked what was going on.
Liu Huaiyu is a disciple of Hongming Peak and the fellow senior brother of Li Jincheng and Zhao Shitou. He is often close to them on weekdays.
Xia Jing listened for a while but was not interested. He left them and walked back with Shui Xin.
He was a little confused. When he was talking, Liu Huaiyu kept glancing at him quietly for some reason.
Searching through his memories, he couldn't find anything that overlapped with Liu Huaiyu.
never mind. He quickly put it down and thought about what to eat tonight. Yun Yiyi is back and she can let the girl cook.
He didn't think of what Zhao Shitou told him a day ago.
…
"Has Xia Jing come here to get the Qi-Entraining Pill?"
Returning to his residence, Liu Huaiyu asked the outer disciple beside him. The outer disciple took out the book and looked at it carefully.
"No."
"It's weird, why doesn't he come to get the elixir?"
"Perhaps he couldn't get it even though he knew he came to get it?"
Liu Huaiyu has reached the highest level. Logically speaking, there is no need for him to be the manager of Lingqi Valley. He was sent by his master.
The master told him to find more trouble for Xia Jing within his duties, and hinted that this was what Master Hongming meant.
He therefore arranged Xia Jing's small courtyard in the most remote one, and told him early that if Xia Jing came to get the Qi-entraining pill, he would say that he did not have a share of Qinglan Peak.
There is indeed no share of Qinglan Peak.
Master Qingxia has been doing nothing for hundreds of years. She never attended the tea party held every twenty years to distribute cultivation resources, nor did Shui Yun attend. The peaks have long been accustomed to sharing resources only in the Upper Sixth Peak and the Small Fourth Peak.
Li Huaiyu thought for a long time, but still couldn't think of an answer: "He can't know. When Junior Sister Shui Xin received Qi, the previous generation of stewards gave her the elixir."
He never imagined that Xia Jing had absorbed his Qi early and would not need this Qi-inducing pill at all.
"So Ancestor Qingxia gave him the Qi-Entraining Pill?" At the mention of this name, the voices of the outer disciples became softer.
He couldn't figure out how Senior Brother Liu dared to cause trouble for the ancestor's disciples. Although it was within the sect's rules, it was reasonable to go to the elders, but he was the ancestor's disciple!
"Ancestor didn't give it to Junior Sister Shui Xin... We strictly control the elixirs in Xiaocang Peak, and I didn't hear about Ancestor..."
The following things cannot be told to the outer disciples, Liu Huaiyu stopped talking.
"Perhaps Xia Jing is playful and hasn't started practicing yet?" the outer disciple asked again.
"That must be the case. Ignoring this matter for now, have you made an agreement about it, Yu Liang?"
"I've already told him."
"You didn't mention me?"
"I said that I felt the same way, so I was willing to help him. I told him that senior brother will go back to Hongming Peak tonight and won't be back until noon tomorrow."
"That's right. Which helper did he find?"
"Senior Brother Yu from Juyue Peak, they are from the same clan, and they seem to be quite close in their genealogy."
"Yu Zi Gua? It's time for him to reach the middle stage of Wu Zhang. Please tell him to be careful and don't hurt Junior Sister Shui Xin."
"Yes." The outer disciple muttered in his heart. While you were causing trouble for the ancestor's disciples, you peeked at the junior sister in the ancestor's peak.
Thinking of what would happen tomorrow morning, he felt uneasy.
He couldn't help but advise: "Senior Brother, what Yu Liang said may not be the truth. Senior Brother Xia has not yet received his Qi, how could he allow Senior Sister Shui to steal his Heavenly Spiritual Qi?"
He stopped to look at Li Huaiyu's reaction and felt relieved when he saw that his senior brother had no intention of interrupting.
He boldly continued: "It must be that he didn't know Senior Sister Shui and spoke rudely, so he was taught a lesson by Senior Sister Shui. Besides, if the Tianling Qi is not taken into the Dantian, it is an ownerless thing. How can there be nothing that can't be snatched away? There is nothing in his body. A wound, what a grievance!"
"I know." Li Huaiyu said.
The outer disciple is feeling miserable, but you know you are still indulging him!
"Not only do I know, Yu Zigua must also know."
The outer disciples' hearts were no longer bitter, and they gradually became cold.
He knew that both Yu Zigua and Liu Huaiyu were using Yu Liang as pawns. Then Yu Liang might not even know the identities of Xia Jing and Shui Xin!
After all, Senior Brother Xia is a disciple of the ancestor. Regardless of whether he is justified or not, how can he be healed if he is offended? I'm afraid this lingering light is over.
The outer disciple thought about himself again. Why was he not Liu Huaiyu's pawn? For a moment, he felt sad, pitying Yu Liang and himself, and sighed in his heart.
Cultivation is difficult!
