Chapter 42 Accepting Disciples: Just for Sparring?
Qingyuan Mountain.
Inside the grand celebration hall halfway up the mountain.
"None of the three of them have any master. It is a blessing they have accumulated over three lifetimes to be able to become disciples of Fellow Daoist Liu."
"Feng'er, what are you three standing there for? Go over and kowtow to your master."
Cui Yunshan immediately took over the conversation and then addressed Cui Mufeng and the other two on the side.
"Yes, Ancestor."
The next moment, Cui Mufeng, who had been standing obediently to Cui Yunshan's side, bowed to Cui Yunshan and then walked forward, with the two sisters, Cui Mujing and Cui Muyun, following behind.
Three spiritual herb cushions had already been prepared on the ground.
"Disciple Cui Mufeng!"
"Disciple Cui Mujing!"
"Disciple Cui Mufen!"
"Greetings, Master!"
Three still-childish voices rang out in unison inside the hall.
"good!"
"From this day forward, the three of you will be my disciples under my name."
"Keep these three mid-grade magic artifacts safe."
"After this celebration, you will all stay in the Green Ape Mountain to cultivate."
Lin Li nodded with a satisfied expression and took out three mid-grade magic artifacts from his storage bag, which he then distributed as rewards.
The entire process was completed in just over ten breaths.
The other three Foundation Establishment elders exchanged glances. They all knew perfectly well that Liu Ya of Green Ape Mountain had long ago had private contact with the Cui family of Beast Tamers.
This is just a formality.
Zhan Tianci, who was at odds with the Cui family, frowned slightly. This was not good news for the Zhan family, especially if Liu Ya of Qingyuan Mountain became more and more closely associated with the Cui family.
This may be detrimental to the Zhan clan in the future.
However, Zhan Tianci's mindset eased a bit after learning that he was a nominal disciple.
At the same time, Zhan Tianci was also thinking that since the Cui family's children could be admitted to Qingyuan Mountain, then it wouldn't hurt for their Zhan family's children to do the same. He would go back and select a few of them to send to Qingyuan Mountain, otherwise he would always feel uneasy.
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Liu, on the arrival of your wonderful disciple today!"
"Double happiness!"
At this moment, Zhao Kongze of the Black Sheep Sect raised his wine cup and said with a smile.
Whether it's the Cui family or the Zhan family, they are all quite far from the Black Sheep Sect, and there aren't many conflicts of interest between them. So, they mostly just watch the show.
As long as the Cui family and the two Foundation Establishment cultivators on Green Ape Mountain are not deeply intertwined, it is still irrelevant to their Black Sheep Sect.
Their Black Sheep Sect only has one mortal enemy: the Corpse Refining Sect.
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Liu!"
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Liu!"
Zou Guanqi and Zhan Tianci also raised their glasses and spoke, with smiles on their faces.
"Fellow Daoists, let us drink together!"
Lin Li raised his cup and said, then drank the spirit wine in the cup to the last drop.
"Fellow Daoist Zhan."
"I have something I'd like to hear your opinion on, fellow Daoist. May I ask?"
Immediately, Lin Li's gaze fell on Zhan Tianci, and he asked in front of everyone.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, you're too kind. Please speak freely."
Although Zhan Tianci had doubts in his heart, he answered readily on the surface.
"I am quite curious about the Zhan family's flying sword technique. Would it be possible for Fellow Daoist Zhan's disciple, Cui Zhan, to have a friendly exchange with the spiritual cultivators of our Green Ape Mountain today?"
"It would also be good to witness the splendor of sword cultivators."
Lin Li's gaze fell on Cui Zhan, and he said with a smile.
"If it's just a friendly spar, then there's naturally no problem."
Zhan Tianci responded with a cupped-hand salute.
"Go."
"It is your great fortune that you have caught Fellow Daoist Liu's eye."
Zhan Tianci said to Cui Zhan, who was standing to one side.
"Yes, Master!"
Cui Zhan, dressed in white and carrying a long sword on one side, bowed respectfully.
He then flew to the open space inside the main hall in front of him and respectfully bowed to Lin Li, who was seated above him, saying, "Junior Cui Zhan greets Senior Liu!"
"Suppressing the Pond".
"Why don't you and this young hero Cui have a friendly spar?"
"Don't embarrass our Green Ape Mountain."
Lin Li slightly turned his head and gave instructions to Zhen Chi, who was carrying a dark brown tortoise shell on his back.
"Don't worry, sir."
Zhenchi will do his best.
Zhenchi responded firmly.
Upon hearing this, Zhan Tianci's expression changed slightly. It seemed that this newly promoted Fellow Daoist Liu was targeting Cui Zhan.
"I'm probably overthinking it."
"How could this Fellow Daoist Liu possibly have any connection with Cui Zhan?"
After pondering for a moment, Zhan Tianci's doubts vanished completely.
Lin Li still values Zhenchi highly. Although Zhenchi's bloodline is not as good as his ancestors', Zhenchi is valued by Yuan Xiudao and has served as the manager in the mountains for many years.
He has cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining for over a century, accumulating profound knowledge.
After his spiritual energy had been tempered once, and he had consumed spiritual herbs and medicines for many years, he even showed signs of liquefaction. It can be said that he was at the top level in the Qi Refining Realm.
Furthermore, Zhenchi had already awakened his innate magical abilities due to the inherited relics left by his ancestors.
At this moment, a gust of demonic wind rose from the foot of the town's pool and landed in front of the empty main hall.
Lin Li, seated at the top, formed hand seals, and several beams of azure light rose from the ground above the main hall, encircling the Zhenchi and the open area around Cui Zhan.
Several Foundation Establishment cultivators nearby sensed the heavy aura emanating from the formation, and they all became slightly tense.
They were naturally afraid that Liu Ya would activate the great formation and trap them inside. However, since there were many of them, they were Foundation Establishment cultivators. If the great formation was activated, they could still break through it together.
Inside the palace, within the array formation.
A triangular jade scale immediately appeared between Zhen Chi's eyebrows. Centered on the scale was an extremely thick cyan protective light shield that firmly protected his body.
It was as if he was wearing a spiritual armor nearly half a foot thick, and one could tell at a glance that he had cultivated for many years in Zhenchi.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, there are quite a few experts on Green Ape Mountain."
Zhao Kongze spoke up.
When the Foundation Establishment cultivators around them saw the half-foot-long spiritual energy armor on Zhen Chi's body, a look of solemnity flashed in their eyes.
As Foundation Establishment cultivators, they could see that the spiritual energy within the turtle demon's body had already shown signs of liquefaction, indicating that the turtle demon was capable of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm, and there was a possibility of more than 20%.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, you flatter me."
"Zhenchi has been in Qingyuan Mountain for more than three hundred years, longer than Senior Brother Yuan."
"Turtle people are known for their long lifespans, and this kind of weather is the result of hundreds of years of accumulation."
Lin Li began to explain slowly.
Upon hearing this, the other Foundation Establishment cultivators also nodded slowly.
However, they had formed a strong impression of the town's pond. This turtle demon also had the potential to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, although it wasn't very high, it was still a potential threat.
Inside the formation at this moment.
Cui Zhan looked at Zhen Chi in front of him, who was wearing a set of azure light armor. The spiritual light armor was ridiculously thick. As expected of a turtle demon, such defense was probably impossible to break through even if one fought desperately.
Swish!
However, with so many Foundation Establishment cultivators around and one of his enemies, Cui Yunshan, watching, he certainly couldn't easily admit defeat.
They have to have at least fought one game.
In an instant, Cui Zhan summoned the flying sword behind him. A scarlet sword light, incredibly swift, streaked through the air, leaving red afterimages that continuously struck the thick protective spiritual light armor.
But at most, it only pierced a few inches into that spiritual armor, without harming Zhenchi in the slightest.
At this moment, Zhen Chi stood calmly in place, watching Cui Zhan's continuous attacks with an indifferent expression.
