Chapter 114 A Guest Arrives

The disciple of the mountain sect lowered his head and said submissively, "Thank you, Immortal. No need to bother." After a pause, he sighed, "Just now I saw Immortal and Senior Brother Gu use the Lingxiao Double Sword Technique. It was really amazing. I don't know when I can achieve such a level of cultivation."

  The mountain gate disciples of the major immortal sects do not have a personal master. They have some qualifications, but they are not outstanding. They need to put in ten or even dozens of times more effort than the mountain disciples to achieve anything.

  He Qing tried to string the wood blocks together to form a fence, and said with a smile: "Practice cannot be rushed. The masters of the Five Peaks often hold large classes. If you have time, go and listen to them. You may gain something." After saying that, he also reminded: "Find your goal and don't learn too many things."

  The disciple nodded humbly: "Thank you for your guidance, Master. However, Master, it seems that you never give large classes?"

  "The skills of my Yaoguang Sect are special," He Qing tapped and patiently explained, "If you can't find someone to practice with you, it will be difficult to improve."

  "I see." The disciple responded, and after watching He Qing's actions for a while, he said, "Master, are you going to build a cowshed?"

  "Um."

  The disciple lifted his robe and squatted down beside He Qing, smiling shyly: "I released Mu before entering the mountain, why don't you let me help you?"

  He Qing glanced at him and saw what he was thinking——

  In addition to being responsible for maintaining the order of the entire Lingshan Mountain, these mountain gate disciples will also be assigned to various peaks to sweep and do odd jobs. For many of them, this is an opportunity. In addition to being able to learn the exercises up close, if they can catch the eye of a real person, they may even be accepted as an exception.

  But the Yaoguang Sect has always had few people, and neither the original owner nor He Qing would transfer disciples from the mountain sect to the mountain unless there were special circumstances.

  So He Qing said indifferently: "No need, go and do your work."

  The disciples of the mountain gate were not embarrassed at all. They stood up and bowed obediently, saying, "Yes, then I will take my leave first."

  Gu Changnian and Hua Chiyu, who were in the distance, left the yard at some point and sent off the disciples from the mountain gate. The yard became quiet again, and He Qing could finally build the cowshed with peace of mind.

  The blue ox was circling the black box, as if it knew that the things inside were for it, and from time to time it would use its horns to push the box, making a clanging sound.

  He Qing pushed Niutou away with a slap, sighed and said, "Don't even think about it. I won't give it to you."

  "Moo--" The blue bull let out a dissatisfied cry and bumped its head against He Qing to express its protest.

  He Qing shook the hammer in his hand and said in a gentle and meaningful tone, "Although I observe the precepts, I can still eat meat occasionally."

  The green ox immediately stopped harassing He Qing and returned to the corner, swishing its tail. However, along the way, it deliberately knocked down a section of the fence that had barely formed, causing the wood to crackle under its feet.

  He Qing was speechless for a moment: As expected, people are like the cows they raise, and they are full of revenge.

  ※

  A month passed, and there were still three days before the Immortal Gate Conference began. The immortal gates that received the invitation also arrived at Lingshan one after another. In addition to the main peak, the neighboring peaks that were specially provided for guests to stay were also full of people, and it was very lively for a while.

  Of course, the most lively place is the North Peak where the Yaoguang Sect is located.

  The first thing almost every sect does after arriving at Lingshan is to go to the North Peak to see the green bull.

  After all, it is an ancient auspicious beast, and its appearance can, in a sense, inspire people's hearts, so that today's cultivators know that all the deeds recorded in the classics are not just legends, and that persistent practice will lead to ascension.  

  Yuntian stood in front of the cowshed and asked, "What does it eat?"

  "This." He Qing took out a elixir and showed it to Yuntian, then threw it into the cowshed.

  The green bull was seen sniffing the ground slowly. The elixir was clearly right next to its hoof, but it couldn't find it after circling around for a long time. The group of people outside the cowshed were speechless.

  "I say," Yuntian stroked the stubble on his chin and said in a very serious tone, "This cow doesn't look very smart. Is it really a lucky animal?"

  Yuntian was not the first person to raise this question. Heqing had been tired of hearing it these past few days. She said with a wooden face, "Master Xuanqing said yes."

  Yun Tian said sternly: "Let it out and let me test whether it is real or not."

  He Qing glanced at him and said, "What do you mean by test whether it's real or not? You just want to have fun."

  "Hahahaha!" Yun Tian laughed heartily: "Did you figure it out?"

  He Qing rolled his eyes, put his hands in his pockets and sat down on the cushion under the peach tree. Yun Tian waved his hand to signal his disciples to go aside, and he followed and sat beside them, and got straight to the point: "He Qing, you are a straightforward person, so I will ask directly, does Master Xuan Qing really want to give the Lingxiao Double Sword Art to the champion of this conference?"

  Although the news of the Lingxiao Double Swords Technique has not been officially announced, with so many people in Lingshan, some people will not be able to keep things secret. This month is enough time for the news to spread throughout the immortal sect.

  In addition, when Xuan Qingzi sent out the invitation letter, he also specifically stated that the rules of this Xianmen Conference were different from the past. Participants needed to work in pairs, and the champion would receive a special reward. He almost pointed this out directly, so that the atmosphere of this Xianmen Conference was a little tense.

  He Qing said, "About that."

  After receiving this reply, Yun Tian nodded and praised: "As expected of Master Xuan Qing, for the sake of the overall situation, he is willing to give up such a precious sword manual. He is truly open-minded."

  He Qing couldn't help but chuckle, "You said that as if your Guanghan Sect would definitely win the championship."

  Yun Tian's eyes widened as he said, "My Guanghan Sect is famous for its swordsmanship, and there are countless double sword techniques in the sect. When it comes to the tacit understanding of double swords, I'm not bragging, I'm afraid that even the immortal sects that work together to form a formation can't compare to us."

  He Qing, who had received the script in advance, smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, then I will wait for good news from Brother Yun."

  The two of them joked around for a while, and Yuntian lowered his voice and said, "I heard that a demon cultivator has appeared in the northern border recently, just a few days ago."

  He Qing said: "Well, we also got the news."

  "Fortunately, you in Lingshan reacted quickly and went to the northern border first to consolidate the seal. Otherwise, wouldn't you have to ask them to break another seal?" Outsiders like Yuntian only knew that there was a seal deep in the snowy fields of the northern border, but they didn't know that the seal was the body of the demon god.

  However, He Qing didn't think that the demon cultivators who appeared in the northern border were going for the Demon God's seal. Su Guang already knew that they would reinforce the seal in the northern border, and he would definitely not confront them head-on before the other monsters were retrieved.

  Going to the North is most likely to get something else from there.

  For example, the saddle.

  After all, the materials for making that set of saddlery could not be found in such a short time, not to mention that the size was so suitable. Maybe it was Qingniu's saddlery, and it fell in the northern border like Qingniu, so Suguang went out of his way to retrieve it and give it to her.
