The Outrageous Sect Master
Chapter 273 The Outrageous Sect Master
Many thoughts flashed through Li Qingqiu's mind before she silently chose to investigate.
Name: Sun Moxing
Gender: Male
Age: 62
Loyalty (Leader/Sect Leader): 2/36 (Maximum 100)
[Cultivation Aptitude: Mediocre]
[Comprehension: Good]
[Destiny Trait: Indecisive, Exploring Fate]
[Indecisive: Easily distracted by what one sees and hears, lacking a firm enough conviction]
[Exploration and Fortune Telling: You enjoy and excel at exploring unknown lands; you'll have good luck when visiting places for the first time.]
……
The panel is very ordinary; it's obvious that he's not a peerless genius.
This "fickle" fate suggests a potential for incitement.
Li Qingqiu did not make a hasty judgment; he needed to make contact with this Sun Moxing first.
He memorized Sun Moxing's face, but did not act immediately. Since the other party was here as a spy, he would not act rashly, but would instead establish himself in Qingxiao Sect for a long time.
He continued to watch Li Shouzhen and Li Shoumin cultivate, preparing to contact Sun Moxing again the next day.
With five cultivators at the Spiritual Awareness Realm, Qingxiao Sect is now vastly different from what it used to be, and it has the confidence to handle anything.
As the sun sets and the moon rises, another night has passed.
The next day at dawn, the area down the mountain became lively again.
Inside a new courtyard for his disciples, Sun Mo walked out of his room and stretched.
Wearing a disciple's robe, his appearance wasn't particularly outstanding; his face could only be described as fair and delicate, and he looked quite young, like he was in his early twenties.
"I slept so well."
Sun Moxing sighed sincerely. He had come from across the sea and was always on guard when he was alone in the wild, but last night, he let down his guard and slept soundly.
The reason he dared to lower his guard was based on his understanding of the Qingxiao Sect.
The rise of this cultivation sect is unstoppable.
In the two days since he arrived at Qingxiao Sect, he has felt the sect's vitality and its fighting spirit as it develops, a spirit that his Ziyang Island lacks.
Ziyang Island has been established for a thousand years, and its order is well-established. However, the island is shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, which is why Sun Moxing likes to go out.
He never expected to discover such a cultivation sect on his trip north.
Thirty years ago, he had also visited the land of Kyushu, but he did not see any cultivation sects. When he came back again, he found that everything had changed dramatically.
Sun Moxing planned to stay at Qingxiao Sect for a while, firstly to find out the sect's true strength, and secondly to relax there for a period of time.
After that, he will continue north to pursue his true goals.
Other new disciples in the same courtyard also came out of their rooms one after another. When they saw Sun Moxing, they all greeted him. Sun Moxing had given them guidance during the assessment yesterday, leaving a good impression on them. They all felt that this big brother was a good person and very capable.
Sun Moxing liked these new disciples quite a bit, mainly because they were young and simple-minded.
"Brother Sun, do you want to go watch the magic duel together today?" a burly young man asked loudly. He was standing in front of the door across the street, tidying his clothes.
Sun Moxing laughed and said, "Sure."
The other new disciples echoed this sentiment, wanting to go together. Sun Moxing did not refuse, and in the end, they decided to travel together as a whole courtyard.
They went to eat first, and then went down the mountain.
Sun Moxing, who was at the ninth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm, no longer needed to eat, but he disguised himself so well that no one could see any flaws in his disguise.
Qingxiao Sect has cultivators at the Spiritual Awareness Realm, so Sun Moxing dared not reveal his true identity.
Half a day passed quickly.
in the afternoon.
Sun Moxing and a group of fellow disciples stood below the dueling platform watching the battle. They occasionally exclaimed in surprise along with the disciples around them, creating a lively atmosphere.
"This little sect is really something else; they have quite a lot of magic." Sun Moxing thought to himself.
Once he actually entered the Qingxiao Sect, he realized that he had underestimated it.
The sect's foundation is far deeper than he imagined.
Spells, magical artifacts, talismans, spiritual plants, elixirs, and so on—all aspects are being developed in parallel, and the number of geniuses within the sect is somewhat exaggerated.
Just like Li Yang on the stage right now, he felt that if this boy were placed on Ziyang Island, he could also make a name for himself.
If Qingxiao Sect is allowed to grow unchecked, it will surely threaten Ziyang Island.
Qingxiao Sect is far from Ziyang Island, but judging from the map of cultivation sects, the two are very close, with no other sects in between as a buffer.
Thinking of this, Sun Moxing frowned, his eyes filled with worry.
Just then, a commotion arose from the side. Sun Moxing turned his head and saw a group of people walking towards the dueling platform.
He heard disciples exclaiming that the sect leader had arrived.
Master of Qingxiao Sect!
Sun Moxing was very curious about this sect leader, and Li Qingqiu was also someone he had to investigate within the Qingxiao Sect.
Almost everyone believes that the strength of Qingxiao Sect is inseparable from Li Qingqiu.
Although Li Qingqiu was not the founder of the Qingxiao Sect, the Qingxiao Sect was not even considered a martial arts sect before he took over.
Sun Moxing only heard others' evaluations of Li Qingqiu and felt that this person had extremely high prestige, even to the point of being absurd.
He didn't believe Li Qingqiu was as mysterious as the rumors suggested. This was his first impression of Li Qingqiu upon seeing her, and his first thought was, "What an exquisite art of preserving youth!"
He could only keep himself young; he didn't have the good looks of Li Qingqiu.
However, for him, his appearance could not be too outstanding, otherwise it would be difficult for him to carry out his espionage work.
Li Qingqiu walked over accompanied by a group of true disciples. He casually glanced around the dueling platform, looking for Sun Moxing.
He had already visited three dueling platforms but had not found Sun Moxing. However, it was only the first day, so he was not in a hurry.
Soon, Li Qingqiu's gaze caught Sun Moxing, but he didn't stop, just glanced at him without letting Sun Moxing sense anything unusual.
"She really loves to join in the fun," Li Qingqiu thought to himself.
He walked in the direction of Sun Moxing.
Upon seeing this, Sun Moxing immediately felt nervous. He wasn't worried about being exposed; he just didn't want to meet Li Qingqiu too soon.
Fortunately, Li Qingqiu did not walk towards him, but stopped at the edge of the crowd.
Li Qingqiu looked toward the dueling platform, watching Li Yang's duel.
Li Yang's opponent was at the fifth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm, which was not weak, but he was unlucky to encounter Li Yang. The reason why Li Yang did not quickly defeat his opponent was to give him a chance to show his skills.
The disciple realized Li Yang's good intentions and was showing off his skills to the fullest, much to the delight of the spectators and disciples below the stage.
During the subsequent observation period, Li Qingqiu also observed Sun Moxing.
He noticed that Sun Moxing got along very well with the new disciples around him, which actually put him at ease.
If Sun Moxing didn't have a long-term plan, he wouldn't need to mingle with his disciples.
At the same time, Li Qingqiu was able to roughly judge Sun Moxing's cultivation level.
Although Sun Moxing had mastered a very good method of disguise, he could not escape Li Qingqiu's perception.
There is still a gap between me and the Spiritual Consciousness Realm, but it is not far off.
Such cultivation cannot be left unattended.
Li Qingqiu began to ponder how to win over Sun Moxing.
If that doesn't work, he'll have to resort to force. The first thing he needs to do is block Sun Moxing's movements so he has no chance to go down the mountain.
After Li Yang finished his match, he jumped off the dueling platform and came to Li Qingqiu.
Seeing the two chatting and laughing, Sun Moxing was completely relieved.
It turns out they came for the geniuses within the sect.
He had only been a disciple of Qingxiao Sect for two days when he ran into the sect leader. He couldn't believe he could be that unlucky.
After a while, Li Qingqiu left with Li Yang, and the next battle of magic had already begun.
Sun Moxing watched Li Qingqiu's departing figure and said with regret, "Even if you have extraordinary skills, it is all in vain. You should not have built your sect here. Ziyang Island will not allow you to continue to develop."
Qingxiao Sect did indeed give him a great shock, but he did not think that Qingxiao Sect could surpass Ziyang Island.
A thousand-year-old heritage cannot be shaken by the development of Qingxiao Sect in just a few decades!
……
a few days later.
The courtyard where Sun Moxing lived welcomed disciples of the Imperial Spirit Hall, who were summoned to guard the Sutra Repository.
This surprised Sun Moxing, who hadn't expected to have such an opportunity so soon after arriving.
Afterwards, the disciples of their academy were assigned to Qingxiao Mountain. They were responsible for guarding the outside of the Sutra Repository. Although they could not enter the building, Sun Moxing was already very satisfied.
"The martial arts tournament will last for half a year. During this time, the sect will be filled with all sorts of people, which is why we need you. For the sect, this is a troublesome matter, but for you, it is a rare opportunity. Ordinary disciples rarely have such an opportunity after entering the sect."
A disciple of the Imperial Spirit Hall stood in front of Sun Moxing and the others, and said with a serious expression.
Behind them was the Sutra Repository, which, after years of renovation, had become a large, sprawling building. In addition to them, there were other disciples guarding and patrolling the area, making it heavily guarded.
Sun Moxing and the others immediately assured him that they would not let their guard down.
The disciples of Yuling Hall gave a few more instructions before leaving.
After he left, the new disciples excitedly discussed it. They were all pleasantly surprised, not expecting to be given such an important task so soon after they entered the sect.
Sun Moxing didn't think much of it, after all, even if he were exposed, he wouldn't be placed in such a place.
Next, he can find an opportunity to learn about the Qingxiao Sect's lineage.
……
It's early April.
Jiang Zhaoxia has finally returned. He had previously led five disciples of the Sword Sect down the mountain for training, and their activities were mainly in Nan Chu Prefecture, searching for undiscovered blessed lands.
Li Qingqiu had high expectations for him, who possessed the destiny of "True Dragon of the Mortal World".
really.
Jiang Zhaoxia did not disappoint him; he actually discovered a blessed land.
"That valley is full of spiritual plants, but the miasma is also heavy, which can easily cause hallucinations. There is a large toad guarding the valley. If your cultivation is not at the seventh level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm, you can easily be entangled by its tongue and then rolled into its belly."
Jiang Zhaoxia sat at the long table, shaking her teacup as she spoke.
Li Qingqiu asked, "Can we communicate with that toad?"
“I tried, but failed, so I killed it.”
Jiang Zhaoxia replied, then took a storage bag from her waist with her other hand and placed it on the table.
"Inside are its remains, which I sealed with talismans to remove its vital energy," Jiang Zhaoxia said, before finishing the hot tea in the bowl.
Li Qingqiu took out his storage bag to check and found that the toad's corpse was quite large, as big as a mountain bear.
