Chapter 223: Gathering for Cultivation (23)
Disciples came down from Lingjian Peak one after another. Some were excited as they took a sword successfully, while some were down in the dumps as they failed to take a sword.
After this event, the most discussed news in the sect was the anecdotes of Ming Shu’s charging a toll and bullying Yun Yao in Lingjian Peak.
Everyone became even more curious about this new peak master.
Most people in the sect observed all rules and regulations. At most, sometimes a few troublemakers would start fighting and brawling. But no one had ever been so rebellious as Ming Shu.Later on, they found that Ming Shu was actually very easy to talk to. As long as you gave her some snacks, you could stay on her mountain for ten days or even a half-month, and she wouldn’t bother you at all.
They also found that the Qi near Lingjian Peak was different from that of other places, and seemed to be purer. So afterwards, more and more disciples began to bribe Ming Shu for the purpose of cultivating in Lingjian Peak.
Usually, because inner sect disciples may need several months at one time to cultivate one level or more, the management of the internal division was relatively loose, and disciples could choose their own way of cultivation. But the scene of these people flocking together at Lingjian Peak would have difficulty not catching attention.
But except for gathering on Lingjian Peak, they didn’t do any other bad things. If Lingjian Peak was okay with this, then the sect leader had no reason to interfere.
In that case, with many people coming and going for cultivation in Lingjian Peak, the whole mountain became lively again.…
Yan Yin was going up Lingjian Peak.
Occasionally he would hear people talking along the way. And from time to time, he would see a few disciples sitting in the mountain forests and practicing.
He just shut himself away to refine elixirs for some time, what happened to this Lingjian Peak?
With spirit deer wandering around the mountain, the whole peak was no longer dead silent like before, but… was filled with the breath of life.
A breath of life at a place for cultivation? The experience was really weird.
This foodie…
A thought flashed past Yan Yin’s brain very quickly, but he didn’t catch it. He pondered for a while, feeling strange, but still couldn’t understand what it was. Then finally he shook his head and went toward the only hall of Lingjian Peak.
There were not many disciples at the higher reaches of the mountain. Perhaps they were not allowed to come up here.
A man was sitting in the hall, and seeing Yan Yin coming in lazily, he hurriedly stood up in surprise and walked out. “Master Yan Yin… how are you here?”
It’s him again!
Does she really like this Lin Jin?
This man was less good-looking than him, had a poorer body shape than him, less strength than him, and had lower status than him, how could she like such a person?
Hmph!
Blind woman!
Lin Jin felt that Yan Yin looked at him with such a strange expression, and he couldn’t help feeling a bit nervous.
“Where’s my junior sister?” Yan Yin didn’t say anything until a long while later.
“Over there… sleeping…” Lin Jin pointed to somewhere in the hall.
A vague hint of clothes could be seen.
Yan Yin pointed outside. “You, get out.”Lin Jin replied, “Ah?”
Meeting Yan Yin’s gaze through the mask, Lin Jin felt a chilled. He glanced in Ming Shu’s direction, swallowed, and then raised his voice, frightened. “Master, Master Yan Yin is here!”
Then he quickly escaped out of the hall.
I have a bad feeling that Master Yan Yin must have come to cause trouble.
Master, this is all I can do to help you!
Yan Yin: “…”
Ming Shu lifted her body and sat up, looking at Yan Yin, who was still standing in the same place. She whistled like a rogue. “Hey, Senior Brother Yan Yin, are you here to be beaten again?”
“If Junior Sister is willing to beat me, of course I’m willing to be beaten by you. But I really worry that it might hurt your hand.”
Disgusting! How can I speak out such shameless words? I’m vomiting at myself.
Ming Shu was also shocked and was covered in goosebumps. There must be something wrong with this man’s brain.
Why do the mission targets that I need to collect Hatred Points from… all want me to like them?
Something is not right.
“I didn’t know that Senior Brother has such a unique taste.”
Unique taste?
Yan Yin didn’t react at first, but then he understood what she was meaning after examining her.
Her behavior and way of speaking were different from ordinary children, which made him forget that she was still very young…
” Cough… Junior Sister, I’m here to give you something.” Yan Yin changed the topic. He lifted his hand and a jade bottle appeared in his palm. “It’s elixirs for this month.”
Ming Shu stared at the jade bottle. “What’s this for, are you planning on something evil?”“The sect provides elixirs for each peak every month. Before, the Lingjian Peak was closed, so I didn’t prepare any for Lingjian Peak.” Yan Yin said in a natural way, “Now I personally brought the elixirs to you. Junior Sister, are you moved by my sincerity?”
Ming Shu crossed her legs and kept jiggling them. “I will be more touched if you die.”
Yan Yin was going to explode inside.
F**k, why don’t you die!
Why should I die?!
I will not die!
Yan Yin calmed down with difficulty and squeezed out a fake smile. “Junior Sister, do you want to know why the entire Xuan family was killed?”
The Xuan family? The Host’s family…
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. “Did you kill them?”
“Of course not.” Yan Yin squeezed these few words from between his teeth. “Junior Sister, do you want to know?”
“Not really.”
“…”
WTF! This psychopath didn’t follow the routine plot!
Calm down, calm down.
Yan Yin took several deep breaths and continued, “Didn’t you come here to seek revenge for your family?”
“It used to be like that…” Ming Shu paused. “But now it is not.”
“What do you want to do now?” Unfilial daughter! She doesn’t want to seek revenge for her family! Why isn’t she punished!
Ming Shu’s eyes got slightly brighter. “To eat the special dishes of the Yin Sect.”
Yan Yin: “…”
Okay, I can’t continue this conversation anymore!
Eat eat eat, this mission target only knows how to eat, you’ll become a butterball.
“Fine. Since you don’t want to know, then just forget it.” Yan Yin put the jade bottle aside. “If someday you want to know what happened, you can come to me at any time. I’ll be happy to tell you everything, Junior Sister.”
Before Ming Shu expressed her opinion, Yan Yin disappeared into the air quickly, avoiding being beaten again.
Ming Shu jumped to the ground and went to pick up the jade bottle.
“A Xiling elixir”
How generous.
But… if he wanted to buy me off with this, don’t even think about it.
Where’re my snacks!
Ming Shu left the hall and found Lin Jin and his errand boys were all gone. But that night, Lin Jin showed up out of breath, expression depressed.
“How did I offend Master Yan Yin? He threw me down the mountain and pinned me there for a few hours…”
Ming Shu, who was eating snacks: “…”
Who the hell knows what that psychopath was thinking.
“I heard that Yun Yao is about to build a foundation. The Chihuo peak master is asking for Zhuji elixirs at the Lihun Peak.” Lin Jin looked at Ming Shu and changed the topic.
“So fast?”
“Not that fast, she has a supreme-spirit root. I heard that for a supreme-spirit root, since the beginning of cultivation, the foundation can be built within one year at the least. She has spent a year and a half now, and she may still need more time to prepare the final ritual, it should be considered slow.”
“Oh.”
Lin Jin came closer to Ming Shu. “Master, do you really not want to build a foundation?”
“To take the lightning strike? Never.” Ming Shu shook her head.Lin Jin twitched his mouth. “Only because you have to take the lightning strike, you don’t want to build a foundation?”
“Otherwise?” Ming Shu’s eyes darkened a little, and even her smile got weaker.
Lin Jin: “…” Okay. He couldn’t understand the thinking of a leader. Anyway, this leader was very powerful even if she didn’t build a foundation.
Little Beastie popped out from somewhere, and patted Ming Shu’s hand with its fairy claws.
Poop-picker, give me a bite, I’m starving.
Ming Shu lowered her eyes and pushed Little Beastie aside. “You should practice more, don’t think about eating all day. Don’t you feel you’re losing so much face that you can’t talk?”
Little Beastie groaned. It felt very dissatisfied with the attitude of its poop-picker.
“Ah?” Lin Jin turned around. “Are you talking to me?”
Then he glanced at a little ball of colorful hair in Ming Shu’s hand, and knew she was not talking to him.
