From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 263 Lin Xunfeng's Path to Immortality
After spending half an hour at the Tiangong Hall, Li Qingqiu went to other halls and departments. After a day and a night of publicity, the achievements of Li Qingqiu and others in Cangzhou had spread, so that wherever he went, disciples would excitedly come forward to visit him.

Not only Li Qingqiu, but also Shen Yue, Jiang Zhaoxia, Zhao Zhen, Li Yang and others spread their fame, especially Shen Yue.

With the cultivation level of the ninth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm, he crossed realms to kill evil spirits in the Spirit Consciousness Realm. Such a feat shocked the entire sect!
Xu Ning was also quite shocked when she learned of this.

Shen Yue's reputation as a sword god was once again brought up by the disciples.

Many people say that Shen Yue is the true number one genius of Qingxiao Sect, but he joined the sect too late, which makes people overlook this fact. Whether it is cultivation speed or actual combat performance, Shen Yue is second to none.

Shen Yue's performance has also made more and more disciples want to join the Sword Sect.

Li Qingqiu was considering whether to create a separate title to cater to people like Shen Yue.

He thought it was okay.

This will motivate the disciples to work hard for this honor.

As Li Qingqiu pondered this, he entered the Lingcai Hall.

The Lingcai Hall is in charge of the sect's money, spirit stones, and the allocation of blessed land quotas. It has always held a high position, but it is not as lively as other halls because Li Dongyue is not in a hurry to expand his disciples.

"When Hu Yan comes of age, I'll arrange for him to work at Lingcai Hall, what do you think?" Li Qingqiu asked with a smile as he sat in Li Dongyue's chair.

Standing to the side, Li Dongyue asked in surprise, "Wouldn't it be a waste to put someone with his talent in the Spirit Wealth Hall?"

Li Qingqiu casually said, "What kind of talk is that? Does it mean the Spirit Wealth Hall is having an easy time? Besides, working in the Spirit Wealth Hall doesn't conflict with taking on missions in the Training Hall."

It's such a pity that Hu Yan's "Upright and Righteous" destiny isn't placed in the Hall of Law Enforcement or the Hall of Spiritual Wealth.

Although the "righteous spirit" attribute does not specify a personality trait, Hu Yan's upright and incorruptible nature, as well as his hatred of evil, has already begun to show. He is even willing to help others.

Li Dongyue looked at Li Qingqiu, thought for a moment, and said, "Then thank you very much, Senior Brother. With Yang Xuan and Hu Yan, Lingcai Hall will be able to attract talented disciples to join in the future."

A smile appeared on her face, a gentle and charming smile.

Speaking of Yang Xuan, Li Dongyue discovered that all the geniuses in Lingcaitang were given to her by Li Qingqiu.

Although she didn't compete, she had her senior brother supporting her.

"Unbeknownst to me, nineteen years have passed, and I have no idea where my master is."

Li Dongyue suddenly sighed, her tone filled with longing.

That's why she dares to say this now. In the years before Lin Xunfeng left, she wouldn't have dared to express her longing for her master in front of Li Qingqiu.

If he hadn't succeeded to the position of sect leader, the eldest disciple would probably be living the life of an immortal wandering the world by now. Why would he be so entangled in so many sect affairs, let alone have to risk his life so many times?

Li Qingqiu's smile vanished when she heard her mention Lin Xunfeng.

In fact, Li Qingqiu's resentment towards Lin Xunfeng was not that deep. He even hoped that Lin Xunfeng would return. Unfortunately, so many years have passed and there has been no news of Lin Xunfeng.

“If he were still in the Nine Provinces, he would have returned long ago. Perhaps he really did get some clues to finding immortals and went to the west,” Li Qingqiu guessed.

Currently, the only way to find traces of the immortals is to head west.

Heading south leads to the ocean; crossing the sea by boat is tantamount to suicide.

Heading north, the land is too desolate.

"I hope so. It would be a great pity if I could never see my master again in this life."

Li Dongyue sighed, and Li Qingqiu couldn't help but think after hearing this.

Should we set up a long-term quest in the Training Hall to find Lin Xunfeng?
What if Lin Xunfeng is actually still in the Nine Provinces, but he is too embarrassed to come back after hearing that Qingxiao Sect is cultivating immortality?
Don't say it's impossible; it's not entirely out of the question.

Li Qingqiu immediately made a decision: he would post this task after going to the training hall later.

……

In the desert, amidst swirling sand and dust, two figures staggered forward.

This is a middle-aged man and a teenager.

The two men were dressed in tattered robes and looked travel-worn. Their chapped lips suggested they were nearing the end.

"Master...where exactly is the path to immortality..."

The boy supporting the middle-aged man asked weakly. He looked only twelve or thirteen years old, with dark skin and lifeless eyes.

This middle-aged man was none other than Li Qingqiu's master, Lin Xunfeng.

Lin Xunfeng's vision was already blurred, and he was also in a weakened state.

Compared to his former high spirits when he left Qingxiao Mountain, he is now a completely different person. He is dejected and listless, with gray hair, and is only hanging on by his last breath.

"Just...just...in front of..."

Lin Xunfeng answered with difficulty, feeling his eyelids grow heavier than ever before, and he longed to take a nap.

But a voice inside him was urging him to persevere and not give up.

Memories of the past kept surfacing before his eyes: images of him practicing martial arts with his master, Master Qingxiao; images of his son, Lin Chuan, dying in his arms; images of him carrying his eldest disciple, Li Qingqiu, back to Qingxiao Mountain.

These scenes are getting further and further away from him, as if they happened in a past life.

"Master, I can't...hold on any longer..."

The boy beside him spoke with difficulty, when suddenly he stumbled and the two of them fell to the ground in the desert.

Lin Xunfeng buried his face in the scorching sand. He no longer had the strength to get up, or even lift his head.

His vision was plunged into darkness, and an unprecedented weariness washed over him, dragging his will into an endless abyss. "Senior sister, these two are talking nonsense, saying something about finding the path to immortality. They seem to be seekers of immortality from the east."

"Senior sister, are you really not going to do anything about them? They look so pitiful."

"Take it back and try it. If it doesn't work, then send it down the mountain."

Lin Xunfeng vaguely heard a woman's voice, gentle and melodious. If Dongyue and Sijin grew up, they would probably have this kind of voice.

Immediately afterwards, his consciousness completely fell into chaos.

……

Lin Xunfeng suddenly opened his eyes, as if waking from a nightmare. He gasped for breath, his eyes wide and bloodshot. What he saw was the roof beam.

As his memories gradually returned to his mind, his emotions calmed down.

"Master, you're finally awake!"

The voice of his apprentice, Lin Lingzhou, came to his ears, his tone full of surprise.

Lin Xunfeng turned his head with difficulty and saw Lin Lingzhou carrying a basin of hot water as he walked over.

He was somewhat dazed; he had never seen Lin Lingzhou wear such clean clothes before.

Lin Lingzhou was dressed in a blue robe. Although he did not appear wealthy, he looked much more energetic than before he fell into a coma. He was a completely different person.

An excited Lin Lingzhou placed the basin on the ground, then quickly walked to the table, poured a bowl of water, brought it to the bedside, and began to feed his master water.

As soon as the water entered his throat, Lin Xunfeng felt a sharp pain, but he was so thirsty that he endured the pain and drank the water in the bowl in one gulp.

After drinking the bowl of water, Lin Xunfeng felt as if he had been reborn. He had never drunk such delicious water before. Although it had no taste, it made him feel refreshed all over.

Lin Xunfeng looked at Lin Lingzhou and asked weakly, "Where is this place?"

Lin Lingzhou looked at his master and said excitedly, "Master, this is the immortal land you were looking for. You were right, there really are cultivators in this world!"

A land of immortals!

Lin Xunfeng's eyes widened, his head buzzing.

He felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders, collapsed onto the bed, and stared blankly at the roof beams.

how many years.

He traveled westward and finally found the land of immortals.

He had dreamt of it countless times, but when the moment actually arrived, his mind went completely blank, devoid of any distracting thoughts.

Seeing this, Lin Lingzhou became somewhat anxious.

He quickly patted his master's face, but when the master didn't react, he slapped him across the face.

Lin Xunfeng felt a sting on his face from the slap, and immediately glared at him, saying, "You bastard! How dare you hit your master?"

Lin Lingzhou shuddered in fright, then said with a surprised tone, "Master, you almost scared me to death! I thought you were so excited about this news that you were about to kick the bucket."

Lin Xunfeng rolled his eyes. Why does this kid look so much like Li Qingqiu?

He really deserves to be taught a lesson by Li Qingqiu!
"Tell me everything you know," Lin Xunfeng said in a deep voice, suppressing his anger.

Lin Lingzhou nodded quickly and said, "Master, just like you, I found myself lying in this room as soon as I woke up. It was Miss Xun'er who took care of us. She told me that a fairy named Fang Shuang brought us here. This is the Tianqing Immortal Sect, located in the Azure Dragon Domain. After we recover from our injuries, we can go to have our spiritual roots tested. If we do, we can stay and cultivate immortality. If not, we can be given a place to settle down."

Azure Dragon Domain, Heavenly Purity Immortal Sect...

Lin Xunfeng felt excited, but when he heard that his spiritual root aptitude needed to be tested, he felt uneasy.

If he didn't have spiritual roots, wouldn't he have come for nothing?
No!

In any case, he must step into the realm of cultivation!

Lin Xunfeng's eyes hardened. He silently recited his disciples' names, still thinking about going back to cultivate immortality with them.

Lin Lingzhou didn't have so many worries. He had already begun to imagine his life of cultivating immortality and told his master about what he had seen and heard in the past two days.

A bluebird with a wingspan of over ten zhang, a dragon tumbling in the sea of ​​clouds, a giant mountain tortoise moving among the mountains, and so on.

He saw a man who looked like a god riding away on a sword, and saw a fairy who looked like a celestial maiden descending to earth flying through the clouds.

Every day, as long as he stepped out of the house, he would see something amazing.

As Lin Xunfeng listened to his description, he also felt a sense of longing.

If he obtains the method of cultivating immortality, he will definitely go back to take revenge and eradicate the demonic sect!
……

After the New Year, news of Qingxiao Sect's slaying of evil spirits in Cangzhou began to spread in Cangzhou, Weizhou, Beiliangzhou, and Zhongtianzhou. The news that Da Moluo wanted to establish a ghost dynasty also spread, letting the world know how wicked these evil spirits were.

This event further elevated the Qingxiao Sect's standing in the eyes of the people, who believed that the Qingxiao Sect was truly protecting all living beings.

Leaving aside acts of kindness of an exceptionally high level, Li Qingqiu's support for Liu Jing in conquering the world is exactly what the people of the world desire.

Some even felt that Qingxiao Sect's actions came a little too late.

As the world marveled at Qingxiaomen's righteous act of punishing evil, Liu Jing's pace in conquering the world accelerated.

Li Qingqiu's act of leading his disciples to punish evil not only inspired the people of the world but also motivated his disciples. Some disciples began to actively help Liu Jing to subdue the world. Liu Jing sat in the capital of Nan Chu Prefecture and received letters of submission to him every day, which puzzled him.

He could only sigh and say, "He who gains the Qingxiao Sect's approval will rule the world!"
　There's a flu outbreak lately, so please keep warm. I've been sick for several days now QAQ
