The daily life of a genius who enjoys gossip and cultivates immortality

Chapter 6 Guiyuan Sect 2

The three arrived at Sword Peak on cranes. As soon as they disembarked, they attracted a lot of attention, mainly because the three were dressed in extraordinary clothes and had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage at a young age.

Sword Peak Master's 127th disciple was waiting for his junior brothers and sisters. He was currently the Sword Peak Master's eldest disciple.

"These must be Junior Brother Gong Yu and Junior Sister Cheng Jiu! I am Master's 127th disciple, Zhuge Xing. You can call me Senior Brother Zhuge," Zhuge Xing said.

"Senior Brother Zhuge." The three greeted each other together.

Zhuge Xing led the three of them toward the main hall of the peak.

Sword Peak Master was the oldest of the seven peak masters. He had limited talent and after breaking through to the Dao Integration Realm, his cultivation could hardly advance any further. He took over the position of peak master from his master at a young age.

He's been sitting here until now. At this rate, when his life comes to an end, or when he decides not to take the job, or when he commits something truly intolerable and heinous, will he be in trouble?

It's expected that he will take the position of peak master.

Moreover, he has taught many exceptionally talented disciples, who have long since become sect elders, so he is highly respected within the sect.

The Sword Peak Master is someone who really enjoys taking on disciples, and he has his own unique methods for teaching them.

The reason why Lord Qingyang chose Sword Peak first was that he hoped to take a look at his disciple and help him choose a weapon.

As the group passed through the main square of the Peak Master's Hall, elders held whips and watched the disciples practicing swordsmanship in unison, occasionally instructing those who made mistakes. Hundreds or even thousands of disciples drew their swords together, and regardless of their strength, the sheer power was quite intimidating.

"These are all inner disciples. They practice from 7 AM to 5 PM, with elders here to guide them. If someone is unable to come or leaves midway, they must ask for leave."

If someone fails to request leave more than three times, they will be expelled from the inner circle! The master said he doesn't need people who don't understand the rules.

Of course, direct disciples are not included.

"There is one day off every ten days, and sword practice must be diligent and continuous," Senior Brother Zhuge explained.

The three looked on curiously, and after crossing the square, they arrived at the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, where miscellaneous matters of Sword Peak were handled.

After receiving their allowances and settling in, Zhuge Xing led the three to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall for registration.

The three will not return to their master for the time being, but will instead take turns studying at the Seven Peaks.

So, having lived on Jianfeng for the past few months, I naturally needed my own courtyard.

Senior Brother Zhuge thoughtfully arranged for the three of them to stay in a row of courtyard houses, each with its own entrance and detached building.

It was only because of their master that they made this arrangement; otherwise, there would be too many people in Sword Peak, with three or four people living together, and even more people in the outer sect sharing a courtyard.

After making the arrangements, the senior brother took the three of them to see their master.

When the Sword Peak Master saw the three of them, he walked over with a smile, patted them on the shoulder, and was clearly assessing their potential.

None of the three resisted. When they touched Cheng Jiu, their eyes lit up. "His aptitude is really good."

Then I was disappointed again, because Qingxu snatched it away.

"Not bad, not bad, your foundation is very solid." Then he looked at the Gong brothers: "What about your situation? Your master has told me about it. Have you thought about whether you want to learn the spear, the bow and arrow, or do you have a weapon you want to learn?" He pointed at Gong Cheng and then at Gong Yu.

Gong Yu had no objections, but Gong Cheng said he wanted to learn how to use a fan. He had seen his master wield a fan before, and his fan skills were incredibly impressive.

“Oh, why? If he is your master, he is also a sword cultivator,” said the Sword Peak Master.

"Because he's handsome!" Miyagi.

The Sword Peak Master raised an eyebrow: "If you don't have some martial arts skills, you can't handle a fan properly. You should learn both."

Gongcheng nodded. In fact, he had told his master that Qingyang Zunjun did not think highly of him. He had only learned to use the fan after he had mastered his swordsmanship.

As for the fan technique, he didn't know it; he created it himself, but he didn't understand it yet and didn't want to lead his apprentice astray.

"From now on, you will study with the inner disciples. Your senior brother Zhuge has already told you this, hasn't he?"

From Chen Shi (7-9 AM) to You Shi (5-7 PM), don't be late. If you are late, I won't go easy on you because of your master.

"Since you're here to study at my Sword Peak, you must naturally abide by the rules of my Sword Peak." After making the arrangements, the Sword Peak Master instructed Zhuge Xing to lead the three of them down.

Jianfeng arranged for them to live in a row of low-rise buildings. Along the way, Zhuge Xing introduced the places to eat, since the three of them hadn't yet practiced fasting.

The house was quite simple; the three of them had never stayed in such a humble room before, except when Cheng Jiu was wandering, but that was only for a few days.

After tidying up, Cheng Jiu closed his eyes and went to sleep to get enough rest for his studies the next day.

As for the meal, Zhuge Xing had already taken the three of them to eat when we introduced it before.

The next day, the three of them got up early, washed up and got ready, and then went to the main hall.

Zhuge Xing was worried about the three of them arriving on their first day, so he waited there as well.

He first led the three men to collect their weapons; the weapons used here were all standard-issue swords.

As for one's own sword, since everyone's resources are different, the styles will also be different.

There are those of very high quality who, unable to control themselves, unknowingly sharpen their swords as they practice.

At this time, the fellow students around you become targets of indiscriminate attacks.

This type of sword is not sharpened, so even if it is activated, its killing power will not be very great.

Cheng Jiu practices the Qingxin Sword Technique. The three basic sword techniques are actually quite similar, so you only need to focus on one, since it's just about building a foundation.

The advanced sword techniques that follow are varied, but the natal sword techniques are quite different. They are either advanced sword techniques learned from somewhere and made into one's own natal sword techniques, or they are self-created.

In fact, most of the powerful sword cultivators in the cultivation world today have created their own innate sword techniques. For example, the Qingxu Sword Technique that her master was going to teach her was something she had come up with herself.

He planned to use this sword technique as an advanced sword technique for his disciple, believing that his disciple would be able to comprehend his own innate sword technique.

Cheng Jiu swung his sword alongside the disciples who were learning the Qingxin Sword Technique.

It was truly an amazing experience. When she practiced alone, although she gained some insights, most of them came to her own.

But when you're wielding a sword with so many people, everyone's understanding of the sword technique is different.

Comparing yourself to others will reveal your shortcomings; everyone has their strengths.

Cheng Jiu can learn from others' strengths to make up for his own weaknesses.

Besides sword practice, elders would share their insights on swordsmanship with them, and there were also sparring sessions, making it a very rich program.

It's no wonder that so many disciples with considerable skill in swordsmanship emerge in this kind of atmosphere; practicing swordsmanship in isolation is not advisable.

After practice, some disciples would stay and continue practicing, while Cheng Jiu would eat, as her master was less strict with her.

Although she was usually forced to practice swordsmanship, she would generally be allowed to rest after a while. Unfortunately, there was really nothing fun to do on Canglan Peak, so Cheng Jiu could only cultivate.

Things are different outside. Although Sword Peak is generally serious and everyone's training is quite rigorous, it doesn't mean they don't gossip.

For example, the gossip we're going to hear today is about the 130th disciple of the Sword Peak Master. This disciple is responsible for half of the gossip on Sword Peak, mainly because he's a womanizer and does things that are hard to believe.

For example, this story tells of a disciple who met a beautiful woman when he went down the mountain, and then he pursued her. He also heard that this beautiful woman had a fiancé.

Through his relentless efforts, he actually managed to seduce his fiancé's sister, and then he whispered sweet nothings in her ear.

The younger sister told her brother that the beautiful woman was ugly, arrogant, and domineering, and her brother actually believed her.

After believing it, he went to the beauty's house and broke off the engagement without thinking twice. He even scolded the beauty for being ugly and yet she was engaged to him.

While the beauty was heartbroken because her fiancé had broken off their engagement, he successfully took advantage of her vulnerability, but the younger sister discovered him.

After learning the truth, the younger sister was not satisfied and came to the disciple's door demanding that he take responsibility.

The beauty was furious when she learned the truth and demanded that the disciple take responsibility.

This disciple is hardly a good person; he has no intention of taking responsibility whatsoever.

So the matter escalated to the Guiyuan Sect. The Sword Peak Master had never been so humiliated. This disciple refused to comply, and is now under the Confinement Cliff.

However, the other party will most likely suffer a terrible fate after they come out; their plan backfires.

Unlike the other women who came to them, these two women demanded that they join the Guiyuan Sect. Their families also provided substantial resources.

One of them has now joined Tifeng, while the other has gone to Lefeng.

The two women actually became best friends, and the younger sister even said that her brother was not good enough for the beauty!

With these two female Avengers, let's mourn for this senior brother. He deserves to be beaten up!

There are many rumors about this disciple, which can be summed up in one sentence: a scumbag and a playboy.

Besides these gossips, there are also gossips that make Cheng Jiu unhappy, such as, "Have you heard? The unlucky guy that Senior Brother Qin brought last time became the disciple of Venerable Qingxu."

Unlucky Cheng Jiu: "..."

"I've heard about it. It's said that she almost exploded while trying to draw in Qi into her body. How did she do that? No wonder she's the disciple chosen by Venerable Qingxu."

Cheng Jiu, who is different from others: "..."

"Not only that, I heard that when she was building her foundation, she somehow thought of compressing her spiritual energy. If it weren't for her good relationship with Venerable Qingyang and Venerable Qingxu, she would probably be crippled by now. As expected of a Venerable's disciple, she's so bold and dares to try anything!"

Cheng Jiu said, "That's enough! We're just strangers! It's too presumptuous of you to say that. I dare not let anyone know that I am Qingxu Zunjun's disciple."

That idiot couldn't be her, it couldn't be. Having gotten herself into trouble, Cheng Jiu went straight back to her dorm.

As soon as she opened the jade slip, she saw a mocking message from her gossip buddy.

"I remember you were the only female disciple among you. You are Venerable Qingxu's disciple, right? You truly are worthy of being my dear friend. You are truly extraordinary. How could Qi Induction and Foundation Establishment have eliminated you? You are still alive today. You are truly strong!"

"Hehe, I heard that those with lightning spirit roots have to make a trip to the Thunder Pool from time to time. You're not bad either." Cheng Jiu was a little emo about the foolish thing she had done, but how could she tolerate her gossip buddy being so provocative? She liked gossip, but that didn't mean she wanted to become the gossip herself.

Li Weixin's smile vanished. Why hurt each other? They were just close friends; there was no need for such intrusion. The two then tacitly changed the subject, starting a conversation about the 130 disciples of Sword Peak.

In fact, this was not the first time that the Sword Peak Master had embarrassed himself. He never expected that his disciple would have romantic entanglements with someone from the Dragon Abyss Sect.

You have to understand, that's because the entire Longyuan Sect cultivates swordsmanship, so you don't even need to think about how abundant their martial virtue is.

Every time the fairy saw this disciple, she would chase after him and beat him up.

The reason he's still alive is because that disciple never provokes anyone with a higher cultivation level than him.

As for those whose cultivation level is lower than his, their progress is certainly not as fast, which is why he has been able to remain so arrogant until now. Truly amazing, no wonder he is a scourge that lives on for a thousand years.

"Moreover, because our Dragon Abyss Sect has few female disciples, every female disciple is a treasure of the sect."

The Longyuan Sect has already blacklisted that disciple. During the last sect competition, I heard from the sect leader's senior disciple that they specially sent hundreds of disciples to stop the Guiyuan Sect and forcefully drove that scumbag off the ship.

Only then was Guiyuan Sect allowed to enter Longyuan Sect territory. I heard that the senior sister's senior brothers even formed a group and beat up that disciple on his way to Guiyuan Sect.

After that, we didn't hear anything about him chasing after women for a long time.

"He really deserves it. What was the Sword Peak Master thinking? He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would tolerate this kind of thing."

"Isn't this actually quite common?" Li Weixin was used to it; such things were common in the cultivation world. "These things are just immoral, but they don't violate any laws or principles."

Moreover, the other side has its own set of standards for selecting women. If a woman were to commit suicide because of this, then Peak Master Yang would have to expel them from the party.

"Ugh, men are disgusting!" At this moment, Cheng Jiu thought of her scumbag father.

"Hey, don't let one person's actions affect everyone! I'm a man too, and I have morals, okay? And isn't your master one too?"

"I was wrong. That senior brother was disgusting." Cheng Jiu promptly slid down and knelt to apologize.

However, Li Weixin didn't seem to mind: "Speaking of which, it seems the next sect competition will be held at the Yunxiao Sect. Will you be participating?"

"I don't know, but Master will probably take me to see him." Perhaps because Venerable Qingxu was so reliable, Cheng Jiu wasn't so averse to the Yunxiao Sect.

"Oh, right, I have another piece of news for you. You are the eldest daughter of the Luo family in Hailian City, right?"

"How did you know? I thought I hid it very well?"

"Because the ring on your hand actually has the crest of your Luo family."

Furthermore, the Luo family lost a daughter, and the wedding caused such a commotion. Although your family covered it up very well...

But it wasn't that no news had leaked out. Li Weixin had noticed it long ago; her family was in this line of work, and she could deduce the situation by combining the information with her observations.

Cheng Jiu looked at the two rings on her hand, but she hadn't paid any attention to them because she was afraid of mixing up the contents of the two rings.

"Don't worry, only those of us in this line of work know these things; ordinary people wouldn't notice them."

But Cheng Jiu still decided to change her mind. She knew that it was necessary to cover it up. However, she wasn't afraid of anything now, since she had a master. At worst, she would just be punished.

"So you know that Hailian City is located on the side of the sea, even though it is under the jurisdiction of the Yunxiao Sect."

However, there are sea monster tides every year, and it would be too unfair to rely solely on the Cloud Soaring Sect.

Moreover, they were under a lot of pressure, so the five major sects discussed that during the sea beast tide, each sect would take turns helping the Cloud Soaring Sect to relieve the pressure.

This year, your father's two illegitimate children joined the Cloud Soaring Sect as inner disciples, so your father is representing Wei City this year. It's also the Guiyuan Sect's turn this year. Be careful; you might run into him.

Cheng Jiu wasn't quite sure about this, but she knew there was a sea beast tide, and that every year immortals from the Cloud Soaring Sect would come to Hailian City to help resist it.

However, she also prepared herself mentally, knowing that some things cannot be avoided.
