Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 499: Someone from Yaohua Peak who is practicing in Yuelongshou Peak comes!
[You walk all the way to the library, look up, and see a magnificent building standing tall, shaped like a small mountain, with only six floors from a distance.]

[When I got closer, I saw that the top three floors were completely buried in the clouds.]

[There is a great bustle of people in front of the pavilion, and disciples from various peaks are coming and going. It is even more lively than the market. There is a long queue of 20 to 30 people at the entrance. You think for a moment, touch the jade card in your arms, and walk straight towards the gatekeeper.]

[The disciple took the jade token and glanced at it, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he let you go in first.]

[“Thank you.” You walked in calmly amid the murmurings of people behind you.]

[Those disciples waiting in line were somewhat dissatisfied, but they were not surprised - those who could avoid the pain of waiting in line must be the direct disciples of the Eighteen Veins Elders.]

[After entering the building, it suddenly became quiet, as if it was isolated from the outside world.]

[Inside is a huge bookshelf, about 20 to 30 feet high, and the huge space is filled with densely packed books.]

[Is this Taoist collection of more than ten thousand volumes? 】

[Many disciples were either reading at their desks or standing on tiptoe to search for books, all holding their breath and concentrating.]

[You look up and see a majestic escalator spiraling up to the second floor.]

[On the first floor, most of the books on display are about spiritual plant cultivation, spiritual beast domestication, and miscellaneous knowledge. There are also geographical maps of the four continents, as well as the fragments of various sects that were wiped out by Fangcun Mountain. It is all-encompassing and has everything you need.]

[The second floor contains the cultivation techniques for the "Daotai" realm, while the third floor contains the core inheritance of the sect. Non-personally-initiated disciples are not allowed to enter without permission.]

[You are not in a hurry to go upstairs, but stop in front of the first bookshelf at the entrance, casually pull out a jade scroll, and leisurely read it. ]

[The four characters "Small Cloud and Rain Technique" are clearly written on the jade slip in your hand. It is one of the basic five-element spells and a must-learn for spirit cultivators.]

[You have heard the elders mention it, but you have never practiced it. After all, the Spiritual Garden and the Herb Hall have different divisions of labor. You only need to take care of it, and you don’t have to plant it yourself. This is in line with the principle of "specialization in one’s field".]

[After careful study, you have already understood the key points of this technique. ]

[This is just a low-level water spell, which uses magic power to circulate through the hand Taiyin lung meridian and the foot Shaoyin kidney meridian to sense the changes in the water vapor of heaven and earth.]

[The secret lies in the three seals of "Gathering Hands", "Moving Clouds" and "Spreading Rain", which are divided into twelve levels. If you try it a little, you will be able to reach the twelve levels in a few breaths.]

[You return the jade slip to its original place and take another one.]

[As soon as the divine consciousness touched it, the jade slip began to glow faintly, echoing the jade token on your waist, and the words inside slowly appeared - this is exactly the forbidden method of Fangcun Mountain. ]

[Ordinary disciples have a certain number of books to read each month. If they exceed the limit, they must exchange it with good deeds. However, the jade token in your hand, which was personally given by the elder, allows you to freely browse the Taoist scriptures stored on the third floor without any restrictions.]

[You feel satisfied immediately. With the jade token, you can read all the Taoist scriptures on the third floor.]

[The words appeared on the jade slip - "Hou Tu Jue" Five Elements Gongfa, which is much more difficult than Xiao Yun Yu Shu. It is to communicate with the Qi of the earth veins. If you are born with a "Wu Tu body", you will be born with this skill.]

[Pinch the "Kun Yuan Seal" with your hands, stand on the ground, use your spiritual consciousness to communicate with the earth's veins, and control the earth-related spiritual energy. ]

[It includes two spells: "Rock Armor" and "Earth Traps". ]

[You tried it and found that you could directly sense the spiritual energy of the earth without communicating with the earth veins and directly extract it.]

[Two spells were learned in an instant. ]

[You put the jade slip back again, and you take out another red jade slip. The three characters "Fire Snake Technique" appear in your consciousness...]

【The sun is slanting.】

[Perhaps you were so absorbed in your practice that you were awakened by the sound of a gentle bell on the first floor.]

【It’s time! 】

[The library is open today. Even if you are still not satisfied, you will have to come back tomorrow.]

[You spent the afternoon learning a total of 100 low-level spells, including a method for refining "Wooden Yuan Pearls."]

[Before leaving, you specially selected eight jade slips that recorded exquisite magic techniques and prepared to borrow them to take back.]

[The deacon guarding the pavilion saw you holding the elder jade token and simply registered, took a second look at it, and then didn't pay any attention.]

[As soon as you walked out of the library, a fat disciple from another peak frowned in front of the bookshelf next to you.]

[His small eyes, which were squeezed by the fat until there was only a slit, were full of confusion.]

[Just now this person was actually moving back and forth between the bookshelves, taking each jade slip and only briefly glancing at it before putting it back where it was. This behavior is really strange.]

[This left him completely confused! ]

[Also, looking at your clothes, he didn’t recognize you for a while, but finally realized - could it be Xiao Qingfeng, which was just opened this year! ]

[Isn't Xiao Qingfeng's disciple too eccentric? ]

[The fat disciple shook his head and muttered to himself, the flesh on his face trembling slightly with his movements, "What true meaning of magic can we understand from such a cursory visit?"]

[After saying that, he ignored her and picked up a few books on alchemy, then walked to the door to register with his round body.]

【You go all the way back to Xiaoqingfeng. 】

[While flying in the air, he browsed through the jade slips with his spiritual consciousness. Before he even reached Xiaoqing Peak, he had already mastered the two techniques. ]

[When it landed in front of his own courtyard, the surroundings were exceptionally quiet. The purple-clad girl who originally lived next door had already moved away.]

[She is extremely talented and has been selected by the elders of the sect, who have taken her to the back mountain of Xiaoqing Peak to personally train her.]

[The main reason is that Xiaoqingfeng has a small population, and there are too many vacant courtyards. They will be used to recruit disciples next year.]

[Among the disciples who were initiated at the same time, there were also a few good "seedlings" who were accepted at the same time due to the help of the girl.]

【You are not among them. 】

[You have been in Fangcun Mountain for three months, but you don’t know anyone. You are too busy every day, wandering around the spiritual garden and bamboo forest of Xiaoqingfeng. Now there is also a library. ]

[Many of your disciples travel in groups of three or four.]

[You seem a little out of place, even a little "transparent." ]

[His talent is average, and his origin is just the bloodline left by the outer hall disciples in Qinghe County. ]

[You are like an inconspicuous stone in a mountain stream, in this Fangcun Mountain full of geniuses. ]

【You are not affected by anything and are at ease. 】

[Opening the courtyard, it was cold and quiet, and a piece of moonlight from Fangcun Mountain shone into the courtyard. ]

[Practice in solitude, if you want to climb high, you must keep a quiet place. ]

[Another night of practice, until dawn. ]

[I got up in the morning and was preparing to go to the cemetery. ]

[“Ding, ding, ding——”]

【Suddenly, three clear bell sounds were heard from the peak, and the lingering sound echoed in the valley.】

[The golden bell of Xiaoqing Peak rang three times in a row, calling on the disciples.]

[You calmly made hand gestures to close the courtyard formation, and continued to fly towards the "Shoujing Hall" at your usual speed.]

[When we arrived, many of our fellow disciples had already gathered at the entrance of the square, talking to each other in groups of three or four, with similar confused expressions on their faces.] [On the bluestone ground where the morning mist had not yet dissipated, footsteps could be heard one after another.]

[You stood silently at the edge of the crowd, the mountain breeze carrying the morning dew brushed across the corners of your clothes, bringing a bit of early autumn coolness.]

【"quiet!"】

[A cold female voice suddenly sounded, like a cold spring hitting a rock.]

[I saw a beautiful woman in bamboo green silk clothes walking out of the Shoujing Hall. Her sleeves moved without wind, and there was a faint green glow flowing around her.]

[It was Nie Qingzhu, one of the two elders of Xiaoqing Peak.]

[Behind her were Lü Qingyu and You Sanfeng.]

[The square suddenly fell silent.]

[The pressure from the Heavenly Gate Perfection Realm loomed like a mountain, and these outer hall disciples in the Body Shaping Realm did not even dare to breathe.]

[Nie Qingzhu looked unhappy and looked towards a spot in the square.]

[There were two groups of people standing there, about seven or eight male and female monks, with arrogant looks. The peak patterns embroidered on their robes were particularly eye-catching in the morning light, and the sharp-eyed disciples around them had already recognized their origins.]

[“They are from Longshou Peak and Yaohua Peak.”, a murmur sounded in the crowd, “Why are they coming to our Xiaoqing Peak?”]

[Among the eighteen peaks of Fangcun Mountain, Xiaoqing Peak is the last. ]

[Over the past few days, all the disciples have already known the situation of their own mountain. Whenever they announce their names outside, they always attract some contemptuous looks from others.]

[You look at the newcomer calmly. The cultivation of the disciples of these two peaks is quite good, most of them have reached the Solidifying Spirit Realm, the leader is at the middle stage of Dao Embryo, and the weakest is at the late stage of Shaping Body Realm.]

[In comparison, Xiao Qingfeng's group of outer hall disciples pale in comparison.]

[After shaping the body, it is the solidification of the spirit, the Dao fetus, and the heavenly gate. ]

[You glimpse a familiar figure in the crowd. It is Yuan Shujian, the disciple of Longshou Peak who tested your physique in Qinghe County.]

[Now he is still the leader, followed by four or five arrogant fellow disciples.]

[As your eyes swept past, Yuan Shujian seemed to sense something and immediately looked back.]

[You looked calm and looked away.]

[After seeing your face and cultivation clearly, Yuan Shujian frowned slightly.]

[On the other side, the team from Yaohua Peak was particularly eye-catching. Leading the team was a graceful girl in a silk dress, with long flaming red hair cascading down like a waterfall, which made her beautiful face even more eye-catching, but her expression was cold.]

[In front of the two teams there is an equally beautiful woman wearing a sky blue dress.]

【now!】

[Nie Qingzhu, the elder of Xiaoqing Peak, is staring coldly at this beautiful woman.]

【“Elder Tian, ​​what does this mean?”】

[“Bring the disciples from Zhuque Mountain and Longshou Peak to Xiaoqing Peak to seek prestige.”]

[The elder Tian covered his lips and chuckled when he heard this, "Senior Sister Nie, you are really wronging us. We came here this time in compliance with the order of the Sect Master."]

[He took out a gilded jade slip from his sleeve and said, "The Eighteen Meridians Star-Picking Meeting is coming soon, so I came here in advance... to meet and exchange ideas."]

[Nie Qingzhu's eyes narrowed, and he naturally knew the rules of this "Star Picking Meeting" - a grand event held once every four years in Fangcun Mountain, where disciples from various sects meet to discuss the Dao. In name, it is to exchange ideas, but in reality, it is a battlefield where the eighteen sects compete secretly.]

[Before the meeting, the various peaks "examined and instructed" each other, which is indeed a tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years. 】

[Nie Qingzhu glanced coldly at Yuan Shujian and the red-haired girl, "My Little Qingfeng has only been established for a year, how can we compare with you? Are you going to let the disciples of the Shaping Body Realm fight against the Dao Embryo Realm?"]

[The beautiful woman in the blue skirt chuckled when she heard this, "Senior Sister Nie is joking."]

[She tapped her slender fingers and pointed at the two people behind Nie Qingzhu, "Doesn't Guifeng also have a talented person in the Daotai realm?"]

[Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, and saw two disciples with extraordinary bearings—Lü Qingyu and You Sanfeng.]

[“I heard that these two are the true disciples of Xiaoqing Peak’s peak master.”]

[The beautiful woman said meaningfully, "Could it be that Senior Sister Nie feels that... they are not worthy of representing Xiao Qingfeng?"]

[Nie Qingzhu frowned slightly and looked at the new disciples in the square.]

[In fact, although the people from Longshou Peak and Yaohua Peak are from the same sect, they also call it "paying respect to the mountain". ]

[That’s why she rang the golden bell to summon the disciples. If they were forced to fight at the gate of her own mountain, they wouldn’t even have the courage to accept the challenge. Not to mention that it would be even more difficult to recruit disciples next year, even now, these disciples would probably be extremely disappointed with their own mountain.]

[“Could it be…”, the beautiful woman in the blue dress suddenly dragged out her voice, her red lips curled up in a mocking arc, “Is Xiao Qingfeng scared?”]

[There was a hint of sarcasm in the voice, and the disciples from Longshou Peak and Yaohua Peak behind him laughed a few times, which was particularly harsh in the quiet square.]

[You were watching from the sidelines while entering the group. It seems that not everyone in Fangcun Mountain is happy about Xiaoqingfeng's reopening of its mountain gate.]

[Among the disciples of Xiaoqingfeng, some of them have red faces, clenched their fists, and have anger in their eyes.]

[On Xiaoqingfeng, this is really too much bullying! ]

[“Elder Nie.” A clear voice suddenly broke the silence. The girl Qingyu stepped forward and bowed, saying, “Qingyu is so brave that I would like to learn from Longshou Peak and Yaohua Peak’s skills.”]

[Although You Sanfeng beside him didn't say anything, he took a half step forward silently, his fighting intention was obvious.]

[The two's actions were like sparks falling into a barren plain. The disciples who had been suppressed for a long time were boiling with excitement and shouted, "Senior Sister Qingyu! Senior Brother Sanfeng!"]

[Nie Qingzhu stopped trying to stop her when she saw this, and glared at the beautiful woman coldly: "Tian Ru, if there is any mistake in the competition, you will not be able to leave Xiaoqing Peak today."]

[The beautiful woman Tian Ru smiled and was about to speak.]

[Suddenly, her expression changed, and her eyes unconsciously drifted towards the mountain behind Xiaoqing Peak, with beads of sweat oozing from her forehead.]

【Tian Ru suppressed her fear and said, "Senior Sister Nie is right. It is natural for fellow disciples to learn from each other and not to hurt each other."】

[Nie Qingzhu snorted coldly, "You'd better remember this."]

[She knew very well that the open and covert struggles among the eighteen branches of Fangcun Mountain - the dirty things of destroying people's cultivation and destroying their moral foundation in the name of "learning from each other" had happened a lot in recent years.]

[You were standing by, but you were keenly aware that a wisp of cold sword energy had just passed through the sea of ​​clouds in the back mountain. The sword energy was like the moon shining on a cold pond. It was extremely faint, but it shone on people like water, making you feel timid.]

[The realm is so high that you can't even see it clearly. 】

[Could it be that the mysterious Xiaoqing Peak Master who is hard to find? ]

[Tian Ru has restrained her arrogance at this moment. She is the elder of Yaohua Peak. She turned to the red-haired girl and said, "Xiao Feng, go and spar with this senior sister."]

[“I will follow the elder’s orders.” A woman in red stepped out, her long red hair dancing like flames in the morning light.]

[“Yaohua Peak Feng Qingge, please teach me, Senior Sister.”]

[Everyone consciously made room for them. Before the two men made their move, two completely different Dao rhymes and Dao fetus realm cultivation were revealed. They had already clashed in the air, shaking the gravel on the ground.]

[Instantly, both sides cast their spells.]
