Chapter 181: Outer Sect’s View
Chapter 181: Outer Sect’s View
Inside the Lingmu Sect's alchemy hall.
After working hard for a day, Tao Ran stood up and looked at the spiritual field full of spiritual energy.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and a happy smile appeared involuntarily on the corner of his mouth.
As a person who possesses the Divine Tree Body, he has advantages in cultivating spiritual herbs that others cannot match. This is why Wang Wenhai, who also possesses the Divine Tree Body, regards him as his successor.
Wang Wenhai is not from Daqian country, but was born in the Lingcao Sect of South Korea. Hundreds of years ago, he fled to Daqian country due to chaos and joined the Lingmu Sect. He accepted Tao Ran as his disciple with only one request, which was that after Tao Ran established his foundation, he would also practice the "Lingcao Jue".
The mud under my feet exudes a special fragrance.
Tao Ran was walking in the spiritual fields. The spiritual herbs around him seemed to sense the situation and flourished. They regarded Tao Ran as their guardian beast and thrived under his company and care.
At this time.
A sound transmission talisman fell from the sky. Tao Ran sensed it, reached out to take it, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Huaxue, Master Li Mo is here."
Zhao Huaxue, who was practicing the small circulation in the field in the distance, couldn't help but open her eyes when she heard this.
"Isn't the ceremony still three days away? He arrived early?"
"They should be here to help prepare the bridal chamber in advance. Let me wash up a little, and then we can go and greet them together."
"it is good."
Like Li Mo, Zhao Huaxue is also a disciple of the Special Service Hall.
The reason why she joined the Special Service Hall was that she wanted to go out more often to find her brother more easily.
Faced with numerous suitors, she once made a public vow that she would marry whoever could help her find her brother. This caused a sensation in the circle of people pursuing Zhao Huaxue.
It was for this reason that when Li Mo gave Tao Ran the relevant information, he showed such gratitude.
Now that she knew her brother was living well in the black market organization and had become a so-called spiritual child, and that her mother had not lied to her, she was completely relieved.
The black market organization spans many countries, but the part within the territory of Daqian is the most law-abiding. His mother actually did not lie to him.
At this time.
Another sound transmission note fell from the sky and landed in front of Zhao Huaxue.
Seeing this, Zhao Huaxue couldn't help but frown, and then she tore it off in front of Tao Ran.
Tao Ran showed a look of surprise.
"Is it Yang Zhiman from the Talisman Making Hall? He hasn't given up yet?"
"Ah."
Zhao Huaxue sighed. This was just her daily routine.
Since her time at the training hall, she has had many suitors, and the number of suitors since then has been countless.
"After he knew I was back, he's been pestering me for the past two days, sending me several sound transmission notes to arrange a meeting. I've warned him many times."
Zhao Huaxue didn't want Tao Ran to have wild thoughts, so she explained.
"It's all because of my Yuan Yin Qi that these people are entangled. After we complete the dual cultivation ceremony and refine this Yuan Yin Qi, my main cultivation method is the Eye of the True Spirit. Without the supplementary cultivation methods of the Goddess Palace, these troubles will gradually disappear after the Yuan Yin Qi is refined."
Upon hearing this, Tao Ran held Zhao Huaxue's hand tightly, with true feelings revealed in his eyes.
"I, Tao Ran, can swear to heaven that I am not with you just because of the Yuan Yin energy!"
Zhao Huaxue nodded and smiled when she heard this.
The two of them left the Alchemy Hall together, but at the door of the Alchemy Hall, there was a person standing at the door.
He noticed that after the two men walked out, he looked at Zhao Huaxue in a daze. This person was Yang Zhiman, whom Li Mo had given the nickname "Scholar".
"Painting snow."
Yang Zhiman's sincere and tender call.
Zhao Huaxue looked at Tao Ran coldly and stood behind him.
Seeing this, Tao Ran clasped his fists and bowed.
"Friend Yang, Huaxue and I are about to be married. The wedding will be held in three days. I hope you will come and have a few glasses of wedding wine..."
"shut up!"
Yang Zhiman clenched his fists and roared angrily.
"You were just lucky to have found Huaxue's brother. You weren't sincere at all. I was the only one who treated Huaxue sincerely. Ever since the time in the Enlightenment Hall, I have been silently protecting Huaxue. Later, when Ye Xunhuan from the Ye family started causing trouble, I was the first one to show up and protect Huaxue. And then..."
He recounted his past events one by one, tears in his eyes, and attracted the attention of passing disciples, but he ignored them completely.
Tao Ran sighed and became tough.
"Huaxue is the love of my life, heaven and earth can bear witness to this!"
Zhao Huaxue kept her oath and followed her husband's lead.
"Yang Zhiman, what you said is meaningless. I, Zhao Huaxue, have already sworn to marry whoever finds my brother."
"But I've also been searching for your brother. I've even sought help from my master, senior brothers, and sisters. It's just that I've been unlucky and haven't found any relevant leads. You shouldn't have treated me like this."
Zhao Huaxue shook her head and said no more.
"No!"
Yang Zhiman looked at Tao Ran, angry and unwilling.
"Tao Ran, I want to duel with you. Only the victor can get Huaxue and be worthy of being with her. Do you dare to fight me to the death?"
Tao Ran was about to respond, but Zhao Huaxue took the lead.
"Now Tao Ran and I have lived and died together, and we will support each other in the future. If you duel with Tao Ran, you will be dueling with us as a couple. Have you thought it through?"
Yang Zhiman was struck by lightning.
At this time.
A person suddenly appeared. This person was none other than Qian Jing, the head of the Talisman Making Hall.
"master."
"Nonsense!"
Qian Jing looked at Yang Zhiman with an expression of disappointment.
"You are a person of great talent. Before, considering your youth, you neglected your cultivation for true love, which was fine. But now that the other party has someone in his heart, you should be diligent and self-reliant, and devote yourself to cultivation, instead of making such a fool of yourself here!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhiman burst into tears.
Seeing this, Qian Jing sighed.
He was extremely satisfied with this disciple in other aspects, and he was better than the other disciples. Considering that he was just in his early twenties, he allowed him to search for the so-called nine-veined spiritual body in various places for the past two years. Now that there was a result, it was time to put an end to his so-called youthful ignorance.
"Let's go."
Qian Jing took Yang Zhiman away.
among the crowd.
Li Mo came here from Feizhou Post Station on a white jade flying carriage. He watched Yang Zhiman leave quietly, feeling mixed emotions.
It has been four years since the final examination.
The three-year study in the seminary seemed to be over, but in fact it was not really over.
The past grievances and delicate emotions are quietly integrating into everyone's life and being written into the long river of history, like a gurgling stream.
As the saying goes, there is no time in the mountains.
Because of various constraints, mortals have to experience the hot summer and cold winter throughout the year and have to take on tedious family affairs, so they know how to cherish every day.
However, because monks are focused on cultivation, as their cultivation level improves, they often go into seclusion for three to five years. Their perception of the cycle of the four seasons becomes increasingly vague, their family ties become fewer and fewer, and their sense of time passes by like a flash.
For example, these two years.
As his work in Bai'an City got on track, his sense of the passage of time was obviously becoming duller.
Through these little things today, Li Mo had some vague insights.
He saw the big picture from the small, and seemed to have caught a glimpse of the great truth in the ordinary, and his state of mind seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.
History was like a mirror, and he vaguely saw himself in Yang Zhiman. Whether it was him, Yang Zhiman, or other students of the same grade, they were all in a state of youthful ignorance, gradually forming certain values and recognizing their own status.
"People often talk about the Golden Elixir Path. According to Master, the Golden Elixir Path is the sublimation of the soul, requiring one's own unique understanding, including but not limited to realm, Taoism, life, and skills..."
The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
Li Mo, who has gained some enlightenment, has a more objective understanding of himself at this moment.
In the eyes of mortals, he is a foundation-building cultivator who serves as the general flag of the Tianming Division of Bai'an County. He is full of mystery and seems to be high above, able to fly in the sky and hide in the ground, just like a living immortal.
But in the eyes of the monks, he is just a disciple of Lingmu Sect who has successfully graduated. He has been tempered in Tianming Division of Bai'an County, experienced the local customs and practices, and taken root in the ordinary. As time goes by, he continues to absorb local nutrients and grow.
His growth potential in the future will have a special connection with Bai'an County.
It's like the land god of Bai'an County, or a big tree.
Whether he can show the potential to become a higher-level cultivator in the future will depend to a certain extent on the development of Bai'an County. It can be said that the land and water nurture the people, so this also requires him to frequently eliminate diseases and cultivate the land carefully.
As the crowd dispersed, Tao Ran and Zhao Huaxue also saw Li Mo.
"Uncle Li!"
"Uncle Li..."
The two of them came forward excitedly and expressed their warm welcome, and Li Mo congratulated them with a smile.
"Congratulations to you two. I'm here to ask for wedding wine."
The wedding of Tao Ran and Zhao Huaxue was held in a village at the foot of Qingming Mountain.
Lingmu Sect stipulates that only foundation-building cultivators can open caves and hold ceremonies on the mountain, and the relevant order must be maintained by disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall.
At this time, Tao Ran and Zhao Huaxue were only at the peak of the twelfth level of Qi training, and planned to break through with the help of dual cultivation.
The reason why Li Mo arrived early was naturally to do a good thing to the end, to organize the wedding for the two of them wholeheartedly and to establish a good relationship.
three days later.
The wedding of the two was extremely lively.
Tao Ran's master is Wang Wenhai, the deputy head of the Alchemy Hall. Several Jindan cultivators brought their foundation-building disciples to congratulate him. In addition, Tao Ran has an upright and gentle character, so many Qi training disciples also came to congratulate him.
As an alchemist, Tao Ran can be said to have made many friends.
Li Mo took this opportunity, under the hospitality of Tao Ran's second senior brother Wei Zizheng, to make some friends with the foundation-building monks in the sect.
Nine foundation-building monks gathered together.
Due to Wang Wenhai's relatively neutral stance in his sect, the Jindan cultivators who came to congratulate him included both people from aristocratic families and independent cultivators from the Justice Society. Therefore, the nine foundation-building cultivators present also all had strong backgrounds.
Li Mo was inconspicuous among them.
If Wei Zizheng hadn't introduced him, almost no one would have noticed him.
"Are you Li Mo?"
After hearing this, Wang Tienan, the deputy head of the weapon refining hall, looked at Li Mo with a look of surprise, and then laughed.
"I'm Xiang Wenqiang, and I've been friends with your Senior Brother Wei Cang for many years. I've heard him talk about a junior brother who's a prodigy in cultivation, named Li Mo. So that's you, haha!"
Xiang Wenqiang has a heroic temperament.
As a weapon refiner, he must have a wide range of contacts in the sect. He patted Li Mo's shoulder, looking casual.
"Junior Brother Li, if you need anything in refining weapons in the future, you can always come to the Refining Hall to find me!"
Li Mo frowned slightly.
In the past few years, he has been accustomed to serving as the chief flag in Bai'an County, and everyone he meets treats him with respect.
As a result, he instinctively felt a little resistant to Xiang Wenqiang's caring behavior, but in the end he just nodded and smiled slightly without saying much.
At this time.
The other person also looked at Li Mo.
"My name is Wang Sai, currently serving as the captain of the Law Enforcement Hall. Since you are the seventh disciple of Hall Master Lu, then Jiang Feiyan must be your senior sister, right?"
Wang Sai?
Li Mo immediately showed a look of surprise and looked at the Law Enforcement Hall disciple named Wang Sai.
He had asked Jiang Feiyan what type of person she liked, and Jiang Feiyan mentioned Wang Sai from the Law Enforcement Hall. Now that he saw the real person, he was naturally quite curious and couldn't help but look at him carefully.
This man is tall, with a tough look between his brows, and he is full of bookish air. It seems that Jiang Feiyan's vision is indeed quite good.
"Yes, she is indeed my Sixth Senior Sister."
After confirming Li Mo's identity, Wang Sai smiled slightly.
"A few years ago, I once worked with your senior sister while capturing a defecting disciple from our sect. I was deeply impressed by her heroic demeanor and Six Meridians Sword Qi. Unfortunately, I haven't seen Fellow Daoist Jiang in recent years. I've always felt very sorry. If Junior Brother Li sees Fellow Daoist Jiang in the future, please let her know..."
"Jiang Feiyan?"
Chen Kaixuan thought for a moment and then revealed a sneer.
"I seem to have heard of this person as well. It's said that she's quite skilled in fighting and her swordsmanship is superb. Unfortunately, she's an outer disciple and is destined to have little success."
This person is the son of the acting leader Chen Shouyi. He is in natural opposition to the faction of the acting leader Sima Fu, who is supported by the Justice Society. Now he has reached the late stage of foundation building and serves as the director of Zhenfeng Pavilion, Xing Dianchang. His status is very important.
Everyone was an inner sect disciple, so no one said much.
Li Mo's face darkened when he heard this.
"So-called inner and outer disciples are all disciples of the Lingmu Sect, but they just have different divisions of labor. It doesn't mean that inner disciples are superior to others, nor does it mean that outer disciples are narrow-minded and destined to have no chance of achieving the great Dao. For example, my master Lu Qi was once an outer disciple, and now he is the only late Jindan cultivator in the sect besides the two acting sect masters!"
Wei Zizheng was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly remembered that Li Mo was also an outer disciple.
"What Fellow Daoist Li said does make some sense. The so-called outer sect and inner sect are just distinctions made by later generations."
"Strong words."
Chen Kaixuan glanced at Li Mo.
"It seems that Junior Brother Li is also an outer sect disciple. Since he is from the same class as the groom and is now a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he must be conceited about his talent, which is why he dares to argue with me like this. If so, ask yourself, after each class's final assessment, how many disciples are willing to go to the outer sect hall? After leaving Qingming Mountain, the concentration of heaven and earth spiritual energy in some places may be less than 30%. Staying on the mountain will surely bring a brighter future. Those who know this and still want to leave the mountain are either deceiving themselves or willing to fall into depravity. What is wrong with what I said?"
Everyone looked at Li Mo.
"Cultivation for cultivators is not simply about accumulating mana. They also need to constantly comprehend the truth and elevate their state of mind. Inner disciples on the mountain often experience stagnation of mana and need to use elixirs to clear it. Meanwhile, disciples below the mountain, in the mortal world..."
"Junior Brother Li."
Seeing that the two were arguing and Li Mo refused to give in to Chen Kaixuan, Wei Zizheng quickly stood up to stop them and try to smooth things over.
"Today is Junior Brother Tao Ran's big day."
Li Mo opened his mouth, then finally nodded, hummed lightly and said no more.
"That's it, that's all."
Chen Kai waved his hand and chuckled proudly.
"Since we have different philosophies, we cannot work together. Humph, Chen wishes Junior Brother Li a successful career and smooth work in the Outer Sect."
He did not mention cultivation, but the meaning was self-evident. The others in front of him all raised their glasses with smiles.
After all, in the eyes of others, Li Mo is in a weak position whether in terms of cultivation level, status and identity, or opinions in debate, and he seems a little unsociable in today's occasion.
Li Mo was somewhat isolated.
"Brother Chen, you are the boss today, but you can't be the boss forever."
He was unhappy. As a disciple of Lu Qi's lineage, he supported Sima Fu, the acting head of the sect, and was in natural opposition to this person. At this moment, he finally understood what his master said. In the end, when it comes to cultivation, it all comes down to strength. Right and wrong have no meaning.
Two days later.
Tao Ran and Zhao Huaxue both successfully established their foundation!
After her marriage, Zhao Huaxue's personal charm seemed to have dropped a lot. Although she still looked beautiful, she was like a pearl covered in dust.
Li Mo saw it.
He wanted to see Yang Zhiman's reaction again to see if it would be the same as before.
Tao Ran obviously loved Zhao Huaxue from the bottom of his heart. His eyes were full of tenderness, sweetness and happiness. After Li Mo congratulated the newlyweds, he said goodbye and left in his white jade carriage.
