Chapter 64
"This is not simple. Do you recognize your ancestor's Moon Chasing Sword Techni
Shen Wanqiu's eyes welled up with tears when she heard the call, and she quickly opened her arms and strode forward to greet the caller.
However, when Shen Shuan actually bumped into her, she couldn't help but take a half step back.
"elder sister!"
Shen Shuan hugged Shen Wanqiu, lowered his head and nuzzled his cheek against Shen Wanqiu's fragrant clothes with longing.
Shen Wanqiu looked down in surprise and doubt, carefully sensing his surroundings: "An'er, you've reached the second level of Foundation Establishment?"
Just a few days ago, when An'er was communicating with her parents, wasn't she still at the first level of the Foundation Establishment stage?
Moreover, just how strong is this force and how powerful is the body...?
"Yes, sister, I was too tired from traveling last night, so I ate a Vermilion Fruit to replenish my body and broke through."
Upon hearing this, everyone around was confused and looked at their companions with questioning expressions.
Shen Wanqiu also had a complicated expression, while Xuan Yi remained calm.
[Ding, host, from now until now, you have collected 3000 emotion points, which have been converted into 600 credits.]
[Furthermore, based on the host's needs, the system automatically triggers a side quest: Please make acquaintances with five new geniuses within the Holy Bright Sect. Reward: 500 points.]
"An'er, it's only been two months, but your cultivation has progressed incredibly fast."
Shen Wanqiu raised her hand and gently touched Shen Shuan's forehead and temples, then patted Shen Shuan's back several times.
A few seconds later, she released Shen Shuan and said, "Alright, let me show you around the sect. You were taken away by Senior Long Yan the day you first entered the sect."
Shen Shuan blinked her big eyes. "Sister speaks so elegantly."
What do you mean by "taken away"? It means he was kidnapped by Uncle Yan.
"Fellow Daoist Xuan, please join us as well."
Xuan Yi nodded, finally able to escape from the gazes of many, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
For some reason, several disciples of the Holy Bright Sect had burning eyes, which made the Dragon Monster feel pressured.
Shen Shu'an also took Shen Wanqiu's arm: "Okay, sister, let's go then."
Shen Wanqiu helped Shen Shuan jump onto her flying sword, and seeing Xuan Yi following, she flew forward with peace of mind.
"An'er, your master, Lord Linghua, is still in seclusion. However, Ancestor Mingyan has instructed that if you return to the sect, you should go back to Yunqi Peak first, as he wants to see you."
As she spoke, Shen Wanqiu also looked at Xuan Yi: "Fellow Daoist Xuan, the sect has also prepared accommodations for the Dragon Clan at Yunqi Peak for this competition, so as to facilitate communication and contact between the Dragon Clan and An'er."
Xuan Yi nodded slightly upon hearing this. The higher-ups of the Holy Bright Sect were quite reasonable, and Uncle Yan would surely be very satisfied.
"Sister, is Yunxi Peak the mountain where my sect is located?"
At this moment, Shen Shu'an asked curiously. She had thought that her sect's sword technique was always progressing month by month, and that the mountain where they lived was also called Zhu Yue Peak.
Seeing Shen Shuan ask, Shen Wanqiu smiled and nodded, then introduced the sect to the two: "The Holy Bright Sect has eight peaks, five halls, and one pavilion."
Shen Shu'an vaguely remembered the plot of the original book. She couldn't remember what peak it was, but she remembered the pavilion: the library!
It not only contains a supreme Dharma gate, but also a mysterious ancestor responsible for guarding the library, which is a classic plot in various novels.
Seeing Shen Shu'an's big, innocent, and curious eyes, Shen Wanqiu's heart softened, and she squeezed Shen Shu'an's hand tighter, continuing to tell her story in a gentle and detailed manner—
"Yunqi Peak is where sword cultivators reside, Zhiwei Peak is where literary cultivators reside, and Xuanzhen Peak is where magic cultivators reside."
"Next, the body cultivators, alchemy cultivators, talisman cultivators, array cultivators, and soul cultivators will be located at Rock Peak, Pill Essence Peak, Thousand Talisman Peak, Star Gazing Peak, and Ghostly Soul Peak, respectively."
Upon hearing this, Shen Shuan's head immediately spun. Zhiwei was the text, Xuanzhen was the method, and Guanxing was the celestial array method. The others were easy to remember.
"Sister, there are six more halls. Why don't I tell you when I go there? I can't remember them all at once."
Shen Wanqiu smiled and gently tapped Shen Shuan's forehead with her fingertip: "Alright, we'll talk about it later."
"Alright, we've arrived at Yunxi Peak."
Shen Wanqiu slowly descended to the foot of the peak on her sword. There was a white jade gate with the words "Yunxi Peak" engraved on it. In front of the gate, many cultivators were either talking or practicing their swords.
On either side of the white jade gate, a child sat on a stool, each holding a book.
Shen Shu'an found the two children amusing and was about to step forward when she heard voices coming from ahead.
"Are you really Shen Shu'an?"
The little girl looked at the cultivator standing in front of her suspiciously. "This is the fifteenth Shen Shu'an this month. Who knows if you're real or not?"
As she spoke, her gaze swept across the room and she happened to spot the designer brand on Shen Shu'an's clothes. She immediately pointed and said, "Look, there's another Shen Shu'an over there."
Shen Shu'an: "???"
What does this mean? How can there be fakes? I'm so angry and cold!
Xuan Yi and Shen Wanqiu were also startled and looked ahead in confusion.
Shen Shu'an released Shen Wanqiu and strode forward, her voice cracking with anger: "Why did you impersonate me?"
The cultivator who had originally claimed to be Shen Shu'an took two steps back upon seeing this, his gaze sweeping over Shen Shu'an from head to toe before looking at the large nameplate in front of and behind him.
A few seconds later, she suddenly lowered her head, looking at her blue robes, and said with self-reproach, "Alas, my preparations were still insufficient!"
As she spoke, she looked up at Shen Shu'an, clasped her hands in a fist salute, and said, "Fellow Daoist, I am not as good as you!"
Then, looking ashamed of himself, he turned and left with regret.
Shen Shu'an: "???"
Shen Shu'an stared blankly at the other person's retreating figure, then looked up at the two children in front of her and asked, "Why...why is she impersonating me?"
The little girl sat down again, cupped her face in her hands, and looked at Shen Shu'an with a smile: "Yes, yes, white hair, blue eyes, graceful figure, it matches, it matches."
"What else could it be for? For the spiritual energy of our Yunxi Peak and its unique spiritual spring. Even if we are found out later, we will have already soaked in the spiritual spring."
At this moment, Shen Wanqiu also stepped forward and said, "Sister, all the disciples of each peak and hall have tokens to prove their identity. Only you left in a hurry that day and were later taken in as a disciple by Headmaster Yun, so you don't have a token yet. You can impersonate him."
Shen Shu'an: "?"
"How extraordinary is this spiritual spring? How can it be so incredible?"
As Shen Shu'an spoke, a look of curiosity on her face, she walked into Yunqi Peak.
She had only taken two steps when the boy blocked her way again, hands on his hips, looking at Shen Shu'an and asking, "How can you prove you're really Shen Shu'an?"
"Only the real Shen Shu'an can enter. The patriarch specifically ordered the two of us to wait here and welcome her to the summit."
Shen Shu'an: "???"
Shen Shu'an paused, met the boy's serious little face, and leaned back slightly.
No, so even if I come in person, I still have to prove that I am myself?
This is the first time in my two lifetimes that this has happened.
Upon hearing this, Shen Wanqiu frowned and was about to step forward to argue, but Xuan Yi also darkened his face and came to Shen Shu'an's side.
It seems he was wrong just now. The arrangements made by the Holy Bright Sect are only so-so, not as good as those on Dragon Island.
Just as Shen Wanqiu was about to speak, Shen Shuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she blocked Shen Wanqiu's way, saying, "It's alright, sister. These two children are just doing their duty. How interesting!"
As he spoke, Shen Shu'an drew his fine sword from his waist and smiled casually at the boy, "This is not simple. Do you recognize your ancestor's Moon Chasing Sword Technique?"
However, when Shen Shuan actually bumped into her, she couldn't help but take a half step back.
"elder sister!"
Shen Shuan hugged Shen Wanqiu, lowered his head and nuzzled his cheek against Shen Wanqiu's fragrant clothes with longing.
