Ye Qingcheng spoke, the Spirit Spring Flying Boat had already arrived above the Land of Sacred Emptiness.
"Well, Little Ye, entering a sect like this is too conspicuous. Why don't you control the sword and take in?" Wang Xiaoqiang said.
"Um, alright!" Ye Qingcheng replied, imdiately stood up, clapped her bag on her back with the back of her hand, and the Crystal Wall Sword shot out, sparkling, landed in front of the Spirit Spring Flying Boat. Wang Xiaoqiang wrapped his arms around Ye Qingcheng's slim waist, jumped onto the flying sword, then with a thought, the Spirit Spring Flying Boat suddenly dispersed, turning back into two hundred Spiritual Springs, floating around Wang Xiaoqiang, with the colors of the Five Elents flowing.
With a thought from Wang Xiaoqiang, a hundred Spiritual Springs were absorbed into his body, the other hundred remained outside. He did this to avoid being too flamboyant, after all, having two hundred and twenty Spiritual Springs inside the body was equivalent to the Cultivation Base of the Nascent Soul Stage, which was too dazzling for a new disciple. It might attract jealousy.
Although Wang Xiaoqiang had never mixed in the Cultivation Realm, he had been around in the secular world for several years and understood human relations.
From Hong Kong to Tibet, the two only used two hours, much faster than an airplane.
Controlling the Flying Sword and breaking through the purple mist above the valley, Wang Xiaoqiang saw a Holy Scene of Spirit Mountain, where amid the ethereal clouds, stretched temples, monasteries, pavilions, and towers, with towers above, bridges below, and a stream like a ribbon passing through the valley, decorated with exotic flowers and rare herbs.
In the middle of this holy scene, a Heaven-Piercing monolith stood tall, with three large characters engraved on it—Taiyi Sect.
"Not bad for Taiyi Sect, huh?!" Ye Qingcheng asked.
"Um, it really looks impressive..." Wang Xiaoqiang nodded and said.
When the two landed, they stopped in front of a temple, and the plaque above the entrance read—Deacon Hall.
"Co on, let's go settle in first..." Before Wang Xiaoqiang could take a good look around, Ye Qingcheng had already pulled his hand and headed towards the Deacon Hall.
At this mont, it was deep into the night, but inside the Deacon Hall, the lights were bright, clearly, there were people inside.
Following Ye Qingcheng into the Deacon Hall, Wang Xiaoqiang saw two young n sitting behind a long counter, with small notebooks and pens on it, and a square Jade Slip, at the center of which was a circle the size of a fingertip.
Seeing Ye Qingcheng and Wang Xiaoqiang co in, the faces of the two young n imdiately lit up like lanterns, with one of them smiling, "Yo, Junior Sister Ye, you're back so soon,"
"Eh? Junior Sister Ye, who is this gentleman, how co I've never seen him before?" The other, leaner young man imdiately pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang as he saw Ye Qingcheng holding the young man's hand, his words slightly tinged with jealousy, just subtle enough to be appropriate.
"His na is Wang Xiaoqiang, he's a friend of mine, and a new disciple," Ye Qingcheng released Wang Xiaoqiang's hand, bowed to the two n with clasped fists, and said, "In the future, please take good care of him, Senior Brother Xiao and Senior Brother Liu..."
"Oh, a new disciple, and it looks like he has so cultivation..." The two n looked playfully at Wang Xiaoqiang while speaking, and imdiately extended their Divine Sense to scan him. They hadn't intended to scan, but upon doing so, their hearts skipped a beat—damn, a Golden Core Stage expert as a new disciple?
Taiyi Sect valued talent and cultivation level when recruiting disciples, and naturally favored those with good aptitudes and deep cultivation. However, most new disciples usually had the Fifth Layer of Qi Practice or above, it was rare to see anyone at the Foundation Establishnt Stage, let alone the Golden Core Stage. Remarkably, the young Wang Xiaoqiang in front of them had such cultivation, an extraordinary talent indeed, sure to receive the sect's vigorous training upon entering the sect, unlike the two of them with diocre aptitude, unwilling to exert effort, and simply scraping by in the Deacon Hall, barely living off it.
Initially, seeing the usually aloof Ye Qingcheng holding Wang Xiaoqiang's hand made them envious and resentful, and they wanted to mock her, but after checking Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation, they didn't dare. Although they knew Wang Xiaoqiang wouldn't dare to strike them within Taiyi Sect, soone young with such cultivation would undoubtedly have a promising future, and becoming a Vice Sect Leader or sothing similar should be no issue. He might even beco a candidate for the Sect Leader, while they were just two Deputy Deacons, insignificant figures without real power. Even if Deacons weren't that influential, in front of a Sect Leader, they were nothing; hence, they dared not offend Wang Xiaoqiang, as in Taiyi Sect, strength was everything.
"Ah, rest assured, Junior Sister Ye, when Daoist Friend Wang cos to handle affairs at the Deacon Hall, we will treat him with utmost diligence."
"Yes, in my opinion, Daoist Friend Wang is outstanding among n, a real dragon and phoenix, with unfathomably deep cultivation... his future is limitless! Having such a friend is truly a blessing!" Another Deacon flattered, and even gave Ye Qingcheng a wink.
Ye Qingcheng glanced at Wang Xiaoqiang out of the corner of her eye, her pretty face blushing slightly "That's right, if any of you dare to bully in the future, Wang Xiaoqiang definitely won't let you off... Humph!"
Ye Qingcheng spoke and again took the lead, pulling Wang Xiaoqiang's hand, and said to him, "Little Qiang, co, see how we settle things here; it'll make it easier when you take leaves in the future..."
Wang Xiaoqiang followed Ye Qingcheng to the counter, and just then, the lean Deacon opened one of the notebooks, then locating Ye Qingcheng's na, said, "Junior Sister Ye, shall I strike off your leave now...?"
"Okay, cancel it," Ye Qingcheng said. After speaking, she turned to Wang Xiaoqiang and said, "Watch closely, just like this."
When Wang Xiaoqiang looked, he saw Ye Qingcheng press her right index finger on the circular center of the jade slip on the counter.
Wang Xiaoqiang could clearly understand; it wasn't much different from a fingerprint electronic door, only the fingerprint scanner was replaced with a jade slip. It truly was magical.
"Junior Sister Ye, you're really taking extra care of Daoist Friend Wang," two administrators said with odd smiles on their faces, feeling that Ye Qingcheng was making an unnecessary fuss.
Ye Qingcheng's pretty face flushed with embarrassnt upon hearing this, then she glared at the two and snapped, "Mind your own business!"
With that, she grabbed Wang Xiaoqiang's hand and started walking out.
"Haha, Junior Sister Ye has finally found soone!"
"This Wang Xiaoqiang is young, and his cultivation base is high; he's indeed worthy of Junior Sister Ye. Otherwise, even I wouldn't agree."
"Pfft, you agree, so people don't..."
"You're talking about Lin Jinghong..."
"Exactly, Lin Jinghong has long been interested in Ye Qingcheng, but unfortunately, she's not interested in him. In a fit of anger, Lin Jinghong blatantly declared that if he can't have Ye Qingcheng, then no one else shall either..."
"Pfft, Lin Jinghong relies on his high cultivation level, but this Wang Xiaoqiang just now, he's not much less than him..."
As the two left the Deacon Hall, the administrators started whispering again.
"Little Qiang, co, I'll take you to et Master..." As Ye Qingcheng noticed there were still disciples moving around inside the sect, she let go of Wang Xiaoqiang's hand.
Wang Xiaoqiang followed beside Ye Qingcheng, feeling nervous all the way, because a hundred Five Elents Spirit Springs were floating beside him, the five-coloured glow was too conspicuous. He was afraid of being seen, although he knew that ordinary people couldn't see the Five Elents Spirit Springs, even cultivators at the Foundation Establishnt Stage like Ye Qingcheng couldn't see them. However, the Taiyi Sect was a place full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons, especially since Ye Qingcheng had ntioned that their grandmaster was eligible to enter the Immortal Realm. Would such a person not be able to see the Five Elents Spirit Springs?
With trepidation in his heart, Wang Xiaoqiang followed Ye Qingcheng to a magnificent temple, grander than the Deacon Hall they had just visited.
The board above the temple's gate bore four large characters—South Gate Main Temple.
"Does your Master live here?"
Seeing the lights still on inside the temple, Wang Xiaoqiang asked.
"Yes, the Taiyi Sect is divided into the East, South, West, and North Gates. We belong to the South Gate, and my master is the South Gate Sect Master. When you et him, just call him Taiyi Immortal,"
"Doesn't he have a na?"
"Of course, but who dares to call him by his na? The Vice Sect Leader and others generally address him as Immortal, and the grandmaster is addressed as True Person. Got it?"
"Uh-huh," Wang Xiaoqiang nodded, "What is your master's cultivation level?"
"He is at the Nascent Soul Mid Stage..." Ye Qingcheng replied, "Impressive, right?"
"Impressive!" Wang Xiaoqiang said, his heart filled with anxiety. Cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage, would they be able to see the Five Elents Spirit Springs? (To be continued.
