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

Chapter 329 Guiyuan Sect 28

Xuanzhen Venerable lay on the ground, his face bruised and swollen, panting heavily, and insisted, "Senior Brother Qingxu, as her senior uncle, you must help with this! Our Xiaoyuan can't fall behind others!"

"There are only ten spots available for Foundation Establishment cultivators this time. Do you think the sect won't intervene in this chaos? And how do you know so much? How long have you been back at the sect?"

"Immortal Lord Qingxu asked in a light and airy tone."

Xuanzhen Venerable shrank back at the question posed in his tone, trying to change the subject: "I only came back because I heard about the Star Domain."

"Xuanzhen!" Immortal Lord Qingxu roared. This bastard had returned to the sect several days ago without telling him, and now he came here begging for his help! You son of a bitch!

"Senior brother, I was wrong!" Venerable Xuanzhen readily admitted his mistake.

Looking at his decisive admission of wrongdoing, Qingxu Immortal Lord felt a throbbing pain in his forehead. This guy never learns from his mistakes and immediately reveals his true colors.

Forget it, didn't you know that sooner?

Immortal Lord Qingxu recalled the solemn expression on his master Xuanzhen Venerable Lord's face before his ascension, asking Immortal Lord Qingxu to take care of his disciple.

Even those who ascend to immortality wouldn't trust their own disciples!

Immortal Lord Qingxu still remembers telling his master about this matter.

Upon learning this, Qingxu Immortal Lord's master looked at him with pity and cursed under his breath, "Old dog!"

This indicates that Immortal Lord Qingxu can make his own decision without worrying about his influence.

My memory returned; the guy at my feet was also born in the Year of the Dog!

Why should he argue with him?

As this thought arose, Immortal Lord Qingxu's anger dissipated!

"Get up!"

"Senior brother, you agree?"

Immortal Lord Qingxu's forehead veins started throbbing again: "Less than a month until the sect competition, do you think ninth-grade magic weapons are as common as cabbages?"

Even if you manage to refine it all, will your apprentice be able to use it?

A ninth-grade magic weapon isn't omnipotent, especially one like this that's meant for disciples with low-level cultivation.

If you're not strong enough, you're just a sitting duck. You have to understand that sect competitions are just like grand sect tournaments. Once the time is up and there's no winner, both sides will be eliminated.

Thinking you can flaunt your power in the Foundation Establishment stage competition with a high-level magic weapon is simply a pipe dream.

As the saying goes, if you can't beat someone, can't you at least avoid them?

If you really encounter someone who's single-minded and also practices physical training, it's practically a matter of mutual destruction in a matter of minutes!

Of course, the most crucial point is that, putting all that aside, Qingxu Immortal Lord could not have forged a complete set of ninth-grade magic weapons in such a short time before the sect competition.

No one on the Xuan Tian Continent could do this, and no one could forge a ninth-grade magic weapon in such a short time!

Immortal Lord Qingxu didn't know how Venerable Lord Xuanzhen viewed him, but he was just a human being, not a god!

This is simply putting him in a difficult position!

Did this idiot even consider whether he could do it? He's just barking like that!

"Oh no! What should we do! Senior Brother Qingxu, you must help your niece!"

In Xuanzhen Zunjun's heart, Qingxu Xianjun was always omnipotent.

From the moment he became his disciple, Immortal Lord Qingxu had been constantly breaking his understanding. Whether it was cultivation, alchemy, or weapon crafting, Immortal Lord Qingxu could do it if he wanted to.

This was the first time he had ever heard his senior brother say that he couldn't do it!

"I've already said that magical artifacts are just external things! Strength is the fundamental thing."

"Never mind, I'll ask Xiao Jiu later and ask her to give up one set for my junior apprentice!"

In the end, Immortal Lord Qingxu relented, agreeing that he, too, wanted Yuan Ning to receive the spot.

But frankly speaking, no matter how strong the external forces are, without real strength, it's nothing but a castle in the air.

"If Yuan Ning had this ability, I wouldn't have come to ask you for help, Senior Brother!"

Then I'll thank her on behalf of Yuan Ning for her help from her senior brother Qingxu!

Seeing that Immortal Lord Qingxu had relented, Venerable Lord Xuanzhen stood up in a flash, beaming with smiles and showering him with compliments, showing no trace of his previous miserable state.

It's precisely because Yuan Ning lacks the ability that he's trying to take the wrong path!

Looking at his appearance, Immortal Lord Qingxu inwardly spat, "He really is a dog!"

However, upon hearing this, Immortal Lord Qingxu narrowed his eyes, a bad feeling immediately rising in his heart: "You've been taking on disciples for a year now! Haven't you given your disciples any basic training?"

When Immortal Lord Qingxu took on disciples, he really helped Cheng Jiu lay a solid foundation.

They spared no expense in providing various resources and advanced cultivation techniques.

Cheng Jiu had already grasped the essence of swordsmanship by then, and Qingyang's two disciples were also quite strong.

Therefore, even though Xuanzhen Venerable Lord has been taking on disciples for a year, compared to the other two, Qingxu Immortal Lord still favors the former.

It's important to understand that Mao Hongsheng, who was in the same cohort as Cheng Jiu, was among the top ten in the Foundation Establishment stage of the previous cohort.

Mao Hongsheng's master is only the peak master of the Sports Peak. He has many disciples under his name and also has to manage the Sports Peak. He has a "junior sister" who is more valued, so he certainly won't receive much attention.

With his strength, he was able to break into the top ten. Although this year's competition is more exciting than ever, it's not impossible for him to break into the top ten with the help of high-level magic artifacts.

Yuan Ning is the only disciple of Xuanzhen Venerable. He has been trained one-on-one for a year, so his strength should be no worse than Mao Hongsheng's!

Immortal Lord Qingxu's inner thoughts were filled with all sorts of analyses and speculations!

Then, meeting the guilty and evasive gaze of Venerable Xuanzhen, a bad premonition filled his heart: "Speak!"

Xuanzhen Venerable Monarch nodded meekly, his lips trembling like a child who had done something wrong: "No!"

"!"

Immortal Lord Qingxu's mind went blank. What did he say? Nothing?

Because he was his junior brother's disciple, Immortal Lord Qingxu didn't observe him too closely, only vaguely sensing that he was at the Foundation Establishment stage, and thought his cultivation was alright.

All of my attention was drawn to Lord Xuanzhen.

Wait, tell him now if he's here!

Is there anything that hasn't been built up?

Therefore, his junior disciple only has cultivation level but no skill!

Immortal Lord Qingxu just wanted to question his unreliable junior brother.

What exactly did you do this past year?

Without any cultivation, they come to him seeking a ninth-grade magic weapon. Do they really think of him as their father, willing to do anything for him?

"It's about gaining experience! It's about gaining experience!"

When Xuanzhen Venerable met Shangqingxu Immortal Lord's questioning gaze, he felt a chill run down his spine and his legs went weak.

After all, compared to his master, this senior brother who was the same age as him was more like his master!

In truth, even in his youth, Xuanzhen Venerable was fearless and utterly shameless. His two masters had a good relationship, and he frequently provoked Qingxu Immortal Lord to anger, which he possessed. Qingxu Immortal Lord never indulged him.

So, not long after they met, getting beaten up became a regular occurrence, and at first he even wanted to fight back.

However, Qingxu Immortal Lord's cultivation progressed rapidly, and his strength grew stronger and stronger.

This thought turned into an unattainable dream.

Even now, I am completely convinced of the power of the Immortal Lord Qingxu.

His senior brother, whom he considered reliable, also had a completely new understanding of him.

After taking on a disciple, Venerable Xuanzhen never thought of returning to the sect. His heart was already wandering outside, and he took his disciple on a journey through the cultivation world.

Yuan Ning was his first apprentice, and she was very inexperienced, as was her first time interacting with such a carefully cultivated young lady from a prominent family.

Lord Xuanzhen really didn't know how to treat such a crystal-clear young lady.

Whether it's sword practice or body tempering, I feel it's too rough and unsuitable for my obedient disciple.

And so everything was delayed.

The secret realm he went to was not suitable for a minor cultivator like Yuan Ning; he could easily perish if things didn't go smoothly.

Therefore, he often arranged for Yuan Ning to live in a nearby city, buying a courtyard house when he had money and renting one when he didn't.

After setting up a defensive formation at his residence and leaving behind sufficient supplies, he handed over the cultivation techniques to Yuan Ning.

He went off to have some fun on his own.

They have absolutely no sense of responsibility as mentors.

Sometimes he even forgot he had taken on apprentices, and it would take him quite a while before he remembered Yuan Ning.

Yuan Ning is also independent and obedient enough to take good care of herself.

Even Yuan Ning's cultivation level was achieved because the young girl was diligent enough.

After hearing about Xuanzhen Venerable Lord's series of unreliable and laissez-faire parenting practices, Qingxu Immortal Lord couldn't help but feel sorry for the little girl.

The young girl is really unlucky to have such a master.

The expected roar did not come; instead, anger did not materialize. Xuanzhen Venerable looked at the calm-faced Qingxu Immortal with trepidation, feeling extremely uneasy.

"Master, senior brother, I was wrong!"

"You did nothing wrong, what could you possibly have done wrong?" Immortal Lord Qingxu looked calmly at Venerable Lord Xuanzhen, without lecturing or shouting accusations, but speaking very seriously.

“Xuanzhen, that’s your disciple. Her mother entrusted her daughter to you with complete trust. If this is how you teach your disciples, then I respect you!”

"Senior Brother!" Venerable Xuanzhen felt even more panicked than before. "I..."

“I won’t criticize your teaching methods! But Xuanzhen!” Qingxu Immortal Lord seemed to be recalling something: “Master said that before he took you in, Uncle Qiuyuan was a rather taciturn person!”

It goes without saying who caused Qiu Yuanxian's change!

When Xuanzhen was a child, he was actually quite mischievous. This mischievousness was not in his nature, but mainly because he lacked a sense of security and wanted to attract the attention of those around him!

Immortal Qiuyuan noticed it immediately, finding his little disciple frighteningly obedient in his presence.

However, he would reveal his true colors when facing Qingxu Immortal Lord. This was true not only for him, but for everyone else as well. He would always do things to attract everyone's attention.

This is not good. Qiu Yuanxian keenly sensed that it was because he had not given his disciple a sense of security, and Xuanzhen was a child who was very insecure.

Qiu Yuanxian had no intention of exploring Xuanzhen's past experiences, but he learned to take the initiative to change and respond positively.

Gradually, he became the very talkative master in Xuanzhen's mind.

Xuanzhen Venerable Lord fell silent. He knew nothing and his reluctance was just an excuse for his lack of concern.

Watching the two small black dots disappear as Cheng Jiu pulled them away, the Transcending Tribulation Venerable's gaze was extremely far away. The Profound True Venerable could clearly see the affection and trust his disciple had for him!

He scratched his head: "The Star Domain quota isn't that important. Going back to the sect is fine too."

Seeing that he had made a decision, Immortal Lord Qingxu smiled slightly, a rare sight, and looked pleased.

"Once this child has a solid foundation, remember to take him back to the mortal realm. Only you and the child's mother, as elders, can resolve this issue. Don't hurt the child's feelings!"

“Alright!” Venerable Xuanzhen nodded憨憨地.

Immortal Lord Qingxu sighed helplessly. It really was like raising a child. He had never seen Xiao Jiu worry about him like this before!

"Take this time to help my junior nephew improve his Foundation Establishment stage strength. That's all he's got."

Let's see if the child has any talents. With some temporary training, they might still be competitive!

Immortal Lord Qingxu compared his own experience as a disciple and said.

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you, Senior Brother!" Venerable Xuanzhen was very obedient, showing complete trust.

Immortal Lord Qingxu: "..."

(▼plate▼)

"You come too!" Immortal Lord Qingxu said in a seemingly calm tone.

Xuanzhen Venerable Lord keenly sensed the undercurrent beneath Qingxu Immortal Lord's calm surface and quickly said, "Of course, of course! I had no intention of entrusting everything to Senior Brother Qingxu!"

Immortal Lord Qingxu sneered, "No, didn't you just say what you really thought?"

However, he did not pursue the matter further.

As long as this guy doesn't just sit back and do nothing!

Immortal Lord Qingxu had very low requirements for him!

Also, he has apprentices!

The disciple should serve him!

He left his apprentice a capable assistant!

Cheng Jiu, upon receiving his master's instructions: "..."

She didn't dislike young girls, but it was really difficult for her to teach a young lady from a prominent family who had no foundation to be able to fight in the Foundation Establishment competition!

But this is the first time my master has entrusted me with this task!

Everything must be done perfectly!

Cheng Jiu patted his chest and told Qingxu Immortal Lord that if he handed it over to her, she would definitely give him a satisfactory answer.

Then, Xuanzhen Venerable, who originally thought that Qingxu Immortal Lord would leave him behind to personally teach, just watched as his senior brother entrusted the matter to his disciple.

He just left like that! He left?

He was left staring at Qingxu Immortal Lord's disciple, who was actually meeting his senior brother's disciple for the first time!

He remembered that it hadn't been a hundred years since he left the sect!

My senior brother already has a disciple at the Nascent Soul stage?

The little girl seems to share the same spiritual root as him. How come he never saw such an outstanding disciple before he left the sect?

Xuanzhen Venerable asked the same question, harboring doubts.

This guy has only been back in the sect for a few days, and he only came back so that his little disciple could participate in the sect competition.

The learning they were concerned with was also a competition among sects.

He paid very little attention to his senior brother and his disciple, and it wasn't until he met Cheng Jiu that he realized his senior brother had actually taken on a disciple!

Cheng Jiu: "..."

Her understanding of how unreliable this senior apprentice had been completely refreshed.

Ah this!

The master is lucky to have such a goofy friend by his side!

Suppressing her disrespectful thoughts towards her senior uncle, Cheng Jiu smiled and explained that she was not yet twenty!

"?" Venerable Xuanzhen muttered without any attempt to hide it from the person involved: "Pervert! As expected, a pervert's disciple is also a pervert! No, even more perverted than her master!"

Cheng Jiu had also heard others praise her talent.

But his face darkened at the repeated "pervert" from his senior uncle!

I have gained a new understanding of how unreliable this senior apprentice is.

They have absolutely no respect for the person involved. Can't they at least avoid contacting the person in question?

"Uncle-Master, time is of the essence and the task is heavy. We should find out what Junior Sister is good at as soon as possible!"

Cheng Jiu, unable to bear it any longer, interrupted him, afraid he would continue.

Xuanzhen Venerable nodded in agreement, then met his little disciple's expectant gaze: "You're right, let's begin!"

At this moment, Cheng Jiu lost all his strength. You really don't understand your disciple at all!
