"Yes, Master (Senior Uncle)."
On his very first day at the Qionghua Sect, Ling Chi did a great deed, which made Han Lingsha and Yun Tianhe respect Ling Chi even more.
With their master setting an example, the disciples naturally followed suit. Han Lingsha and Yun Tianhe were also determined to do more good deeds in the future. In particular, Han Lingsha, influenced by her family, felt she had to do more good deeds to cleanse the karma of three generations and seek a normal lifespan for her descendants three generations later.
She would never do grave robbing again unless it involved a life-or-death situation.
Upon returning to the Qionghua Sect, Ling Chi said to everyone, "You all go back to the Sword Forging Valley first, and I will return the Water Spirit Orb."
"Yes, Master (Senior Uncle)."
After parting ways with the others, Ling Chi headed towards Qionghua Palace. The gatekeeper, recognizing Ling Chi, immediately greeted him.
"Is the sect leader here?" Ling Chi asked after nodding in response.
"The sect leader has gone out and hasn't returned yet," the gatekeeper disciple said. "What business does Uncle Ling have with the sect leader? If it's not urgent, I can pass on the message."
"No rush, I just need to return the Water Spirit Pearl. Since the sect leader isn't here, I'll come back another time." Ling Chi turned to leave when he saw Su Yao walking towards him from afar.
Their eyes met, and Su Yao glared at him coldly, saying indifferently, "Junior Brother, what brings you here?"
"Returning it to its rightful owner." Ling Chi didn't waste any words and tossed the Water Spirit Orb to her: "Thank you, Sect Leader. The villagers of Crescent Moon Village will no longer die of thirst."
Su Yao caught the Water Spirit Pearl and, seeing that it was still full of water spirit energy, breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Is there anything else?"
"It's alright now," Ling Chi said. "If I had to say something, Sect Leader, you should relax a bit in the future. The Demon Realm isn't that scary."
"Hmph!" Su Yao said coldly, "You didn't experience the great battle nineteen years ago, how would you know how terrifying the demon realm is!"
“Of course I know,” Ling Chi said. “A few days ago I went to see Elders Qingyang and Chongguang, and they told me personally…” Ling Chi mimicked Elder Qingyang’s tone: “Your strength is probably no less than that of the sect leader back then.”
Su Yao clenched her fists: "So what! Even someone as strong as Master still died at the hands of the demon race."
Ling Chi shook his head and said, "Elder Qingyang also said that in terms of absolute strength, the Demon Lord is no match for the Sect Leader. It's just that the Demon Lord's movement technique is strange and unpredictable, which is why the Sect Leader was caught off guard. If the Demon Clan comes again, you might be able to kill the Demon Lord."
hateful!
Su Yao trembled: "No matter how strong you are, you are no match for Xuan Xiao."
"Xuanxiao?" Ling Chi looked at her. "Is this the Xuanxiao that you, your master, Qingyang, and Elder Chongguang froze?"
"Elder Zong Lian told you?!" Su Yao knew she had said the wrong thing as soon as she opened her mouth, but Ling Chi's reply shocked and angered her: Damn it! I said back then that this matter must not be spread, and Zong Lian actually did it!
“That’s right,” Ling Chi said. “Master said that Xuanxiao is a peerless genius, one in ten thousand. If Su Yu and Yun Tianqing hadn’t fled our sect back then, causing the Xihe Sword to backfire, our sect might have already defeated the demon race.”
"Since you know that, what else do you have to say!" Su Yao said with a gloomy face: "You should know that Xuan Xiao's cultivation level was second only to Master back then. Although he was frozen for the past nineteen years, he never gave up cultivating. Today, his power is even greater than before. What do you have to fight against him?"
"Fight?" Ling Chi looked at him with the expression of someone who pitys a mentally challenged person: "Why would I fight him? If he can get rid of the danger of going into qi deviation and break out of the ice, it will be a great help to our sect. I would welcome him with open arms. Why would I fight him?"
After a pause, Ling Chi's eyes held a strange glint: "The sect leader wouldn't be hoping for me to fight with Xuan Xiao, would he?"
“…No.” Su Yao walked past and headed straight for Qionghua Palace.
Ling Chi sneered: Looks like I was right. All these years, you really haven't improved at all.
Chapter Thirty-Three: Recruiting the Five Poisonous Beasts
As the time for the arrival of the demon realm draws ever closer, the atmosphere at Qionghua Sect becomes increasingly tense. Perhaps the only place that can offer a sense of ease is Sword Casting Valley.
Aside from their daily lessons, the disciples of Sword Forging Valley have complete freedom to do whatever they want with their time.
One day, while Yun Tianhe was catching monsters on Taiyi Immortal Path, he encountered a 'little pig' that was being entangled by a toad spirit. Yun Tianhe originally intended to roast it as prey, but after rescuing it, he found that it was too small, so he could only tell it to eat more until it got fatter before roasting it. Unexpectedly, this 'little pig' became attached to him and followed him all the way to Sword Casting Valley.
"Tianhe, what's behind you?" Han Lingsha asked in surprise when she saw the little blue monster with wings following behind him as soon as they arrived at Sword Casting Valley.
Yun Tianhe said, "A flying pig is called Courage."
"Do you have any common sense? Does a pig look like this? And how could a pig fly?!" Han Lingsha sized up Qi Gong, her eyes shining.
"Not a pig?" Yun Tianhe scratched the back of his head and said, "I think it makes a similar 'ooh-ooh' sound to a wild boar!"
Han Lingsha completely ignored what Yun Tianhe was saying, her eyes shining as she stared at Yongqi and giggled, "It's so cute~ Hehe, can I touch it?"
Courage quickly flew to the side, preventing her from touching him.
Han Lingsha laughed and said, "Oh... it's not willing yet."
"What are you doing?" Ling Chi came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of food. When he saw the courage above Yun Tianhe, he was slightly taken aback: "Five Poison Beasts."
"Master." Han Lingsha bowed to Yun Tianhe and asked, "Master, you said this little fellow is the legendary Five Poison Beast?"
“It is indeed a Five Poison Beast.” Ling Chi nodded and said, “But this is the first time I’ve seen a Five Poison Beast so close to a human.”
Courage stared at the vegetables in Ling Chi's hand, flapped its wings, and flew towards him, making "uh-uh-uh" noises.
"Oh! Does it want to eat something?" Han Lingsha's eyes sparkled. "So cute!"
Ling Chi looked at the courage flying in mid-air and smiled slightly: "Want to eat?"
"Mmm-hmm." Courage nodded repeatedly.
"Eat up!" Ling Chi pushed the plate forward, and Yongqi happily flew to the edge of the plate, put his big head on the plate, and started eating like a little pig.
"Uh-huh--"
"Ding! Conquered the stomach of a top-tier blue-level diner. The diner's level is too low and will not be counted in the conquest count. Top-tier blue-level recipe dropped - Detoxification Body."
"Detoxification Body: Top-tier blue recipe, grants immunity to toxins of the same level, but the effects cannot be stacked."
Immunity to toxins at the same level?
Ling Chi's eyes lit up: Not a bad recipe.
Given his current level of ordinary red poison, as long as the poison level does not exceed this level, it will not harm him. This is a very useful recipe.
Although he had previously demonstrated immunity to all poisons on the Manggu Zhuha, this immunity could only neutralize poisons below the purple level. It was useless against poisons above the purple level. In the world of Xianjian, there were many gods, immortals, demons, and monsters. Many poisonous insects, after becoming spirits, had toxins in their bodies that were at least at the purple level, rendering the immunity to all poisons completely useless.
Don't underestimate the poison in the world of Xianxia. In the prequel to Xianxia 5, Long Ming, the monarch of the Yaksha clan in the Demon Realm, died from the bone snake poison fire in the Divine Descent Secret Realm. With Long Ming's strength, he was at least at the level of a sword saint, but he actually died from poison fire. Can you believe that?
So the poisons in this world are really terrifying. Over the past ten years, Ling Chi has encountered some poisonous creatures when he went out. At first, he didn't think it was a big deal, but after fighting with them, he realized that although these poisonous creatures were not strong, their various toxins were really disgusting. Several times he was poisoned without knowing how. Fortunately, he had a good constitution, and the Yang-type magic was very effective in removing poison, which allowed him to escape unharmed.
He had originally been thinking about how to guard against those poisonous creatures, but now that he had this antidote, he could rest easy as long as he didn't encounter anyone of a higher level than himself.
"You're a really good little guy." Ling Chi rubbed Yongqi's chubby head.
Seeing her master rubbing Yongqi's head, Han Lingsha was filled with envy and quickly said, "Master, I want to touch it too."
"Go ahead and touch it! Nobody's stopping you," Ling Chi said.
"Okay." Han Lingsha happily reached out to touch it, but her courage made two "hmm" sounds and immediately flew up, hiding behind Yun Tianhe.
“Master…” Han Lingsha looked at Ling Chi with a pitiful expression.
"Here's the plate," Ling Chi said. "This little guy is quite afraid of people. Feed it some food, and it'll get used to you gradually."
"Thank you, Master." Han Lingsha happily took the plate. "Little one, come here, I have some delicious food here."
Courage hesitated...
The commotion quickly attracted everyone's attention. Seeing the adorable Yongqi, all the girls' eyes lit up, and they all took out delicious treats to tempt Yongqi, just wanting to touch her.
Courage ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of the food, and he humiliatingly accepted their meal, offering up his own head in the process.
Just as the women were having a good time touching him, Ling Chi asked Yun Tianhe why the Five Poison Beast was following him.
"I don't know either!" Yun Tianhe said, "I just killed a toad, and it's been following me ever since."
"A toad?" Ling Chi asked. "Could it be that the toad is fighting with courage?"
“Yes,” Yun Tianhe said, “I saw that Yongqi was already being beaten down by that toad and couldn’t fight back, so I killed the toad.”
"I see." Ling Chi smiled and said, "It seems this little guy considers you his savior and has been following you around, probably wanting to repay the favor!"
"Repay a debt of gratitude?" Yun Tianhe scratched the back of his head and said, "I don't need it to repay a debt of gratitude. I thought it was a flying pig that I wanted to roast and eat!"
blah-
Courage dropped the food in its mouth and flew away sadly.
"Ah!? It got away!" Xuanji exclaimed. "I'll go catch it!"
"Catch what?" Han Lingsha said angrily, "Catch it and let this savage roast it like a pig?"
All the girls glared angrily at Yun Tianhe, putting him under immense pressure.
"Alright," Ling Chi said, "The Five Poison Beast is a celestial beast, extremely rare in the world. Let's not restrict its freedom any longer, everyone disperse!"
"Yes, Master (Senior Uncle)." The crowd glared at Yun Tianhe before dispersing.
Yun Tianhe scratched the back of his head: "What's wrong with them? Why do they look so fierce?"
"They got angry because you wanted to eat Courage." Ling Chi smiled. "After all, women like cute things. Courage is very cute and it's a mythical beast, so of course they like it."
"Oh, I see." Yun Tianhe said, "Then I won't eat it. Anyway, it's so small and doesn't have much meat on it."
"..." Ling Chi shook his head and said, "Alright, go do what you're supposed to do!"
After everyone dispersed, Ling Chi entered the Chef God Space: "Recruit the Five Poison Beasts of Courage as herdsmen."
……
More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Ling Chi continued to feed Elder Qingyang and Elder Chongguang steadily. When Su Xin came over for a meal, he would occasionally feed Su Yao a bite. His experience points quickly exceeded 95%. In just twenty days, he would be able to advance to the advanced red rank.
During breakfast that day, Yun Tianhe and Han Lingsha suddenly said to him, "Master, we'd like to go out for a while, is that alright?"
“What’s wrong with that?” Ling Chi said while eating rice. “I’ve never restricted you.”
“Master, this time is different,” Han Lingsha said. “Actually, Tianhe has a new sworn brother…”
"Hmm?" Ling Chi's heart skipped a beat: "What big brother?"
"He's a pitiful person who's been frozen for nineteen years," Han Lingsha explained about what happened last night.
Last night, Yun Tianhe, on a whim, unknowingly entered the forbidden area of the Qionghua Sect. Han Lingsha, who hadn't slept either, followed him to the forbidden area after seeing his suspicious behavior. She then used an ancient jade obtained from the Shichenxi Cave to open the gate to the forbidden area and met a Qionghua Sect disciple who had been frozen for nineteen years.
"He said his name was Xuanxiao, and he was the senior brother of Tianhe's parents," Han Lingsha said.
"So it was him." Ling Chi glanced at Yun Tianhe. He hadn't expected that even without the Wangshu Sword, Xuan Xiao would still become sworn brothers with Yun Tianhe. This must be Yun Tianhe's protagonist aura!
Someone like Xuanxiao, who has been hurt in relationships, is most attracted to people like Yun Tianhe, who have a pure and innocent heart. Being with him is effortless, he cares about you, and you feel completely at ease.
"Master, who is Xuanxiao?" Xuanji asked. "I've never heard of him."
The women also looked at him with inquisitive eyes.
“Xuanxiao… is the most talented disciple in the history of the Qionghua Sect.” Ling Chi said calmly, “After three years of cultivation, he has reached the level of an Earth Immortal, and his strength is second only to the previous sect leader, Taiqing Zhenren.”
