Capítulo 1215: Chapter 52: Seeking Immortality on the Mountain
Lingxu Mountain is shrouded in mist all year round.
This is because the purpose of the Yuhua Sect is to ‘seek immortals atop the mountain,’ rather than ‘descend the mountain to engage with the world,’ making it the most low-key among the Taoist Three Sects.
There are also few inhabitants at the foot of Lingxu Mountain.
However, since the news of Master Wu Hui becoming a True Monarch spread, lately, there has been an endless stream of people coming to pay their respects to the mountain.
Many small sects’ leaders in the martial arts world have even co in person, bringing congratulatory gifts.
These visitors were politely received by the disciples of Yuhua Sect, but their gifts were tactfully declined.
In fact, these people themselves knew that the chances of actually reaching the mountain were slim; they simply ca to join in the excitent and soak up so ‘immortal aura’.
In the martial arts world, there is a saying that a newly crowned strong person who has just had a breakthrough can temporarily affect the surrounding environnt, and if one can spend so ti in that place, it would be beneficial for their cultivation!
Such rumors may sound absurd, but to many people in the martial arts world, it’s better to believe them than not.
Besides these second- and third-rate small sects, even first-rate and top-level great sects from the martial arts world also sent people to offer congratulations.
These people were welcod up the mountain, yet none of them t the newly ascended True Monarch Wu Hui.
The Yuhua Sect sent a top-level True Man and a Great Grandmaster to receive these guests, which was considered a great honor.
Kuang Chen, Peak Master of Hidden Feather Peak from Tiansha Mountain, was among those being received.
After Ying Jie’s death, Tiansha Mountain was left without a top-level strong person to hold the fort, making it difficult to maintain its status.
The exotic beast breeding grounds, elixir cultivation valleys, dicinal fields, and various other industries at the foot of the mountain have all beco the subject of covetous gazes!
Fortunately, there was the sword left by Sword Immortal Ning Qingman, which deterred the ‘pack of wolves’, giving Tiansha Mountain a chance to catch its breath.
However, relying solely on the deterrent effect of that sword is not a long-term plan, so this ti, with True Monarch Wu Hui having a breakthrough, Kuang Chen ca from afar to represent Tiansha Mountain.
If they could borrow the ‘prestige’ of the Yuhua Sect, Tiansha Mountain should be stable for the next twenty years!
However, as Tiansha Mountain is far to the east and has never had any prior contact with the Yuhua Sect, the chances of ‘borrowing prestige’ now are indeed slim.
Kuang Chen ca this ti to do his utmost for the future of his sect.
“Peak Master Kuang, Ancestor Wu Jiu is in the process of Tao cultivation and is currently not eting guests, you should return,”
A disciple guarding the gate spoke sowhat impatiently to Kuang Chen outside a Taoist temple.
Kuang Chen smiled and said, “Little Taoist, could you please inquire when Real Man Wu Jiu might conclude his cultivation?”
The gatekeeping disciple grew even more impatient: “How could I know when Ancestor’s cultivation will end?”
“Then could the little Taoist lend a hand, and notify if Real Man Wu Jiu finishes his cultivation?”
As Kuang Chen spoke, he discreetly slipped a stack of large-denomination paper money to the disciple.
The disciple looked at the money in his hand, showing a reluctant expression.
He really wanted to accept this money, but since Ancestor had clearly stated he did not wish to et this person, he dared not defy the will of a top-level True Man.
“I’m sorry, I cannot help you with this!”
The gatekeeping disciple returned the money to Kuang Chen.
Kuang Chen’s smile froze.
As a martial artist at the peak of the Tao Foundation Stage, he felt quite humiliated to humble himself before a small Taoist at the Body Breaking Stage.
Yet the other party did not give him an ounce of face.
“…”
Kuang Chen took a deep breath and forced a smile, “Very well, sorry to trouble you, little Taoist.”
He held the stack of money tightly in his hand and turned to leave.
The money he offered was not insignificant, but the resolute refusal clearly indicated one thing—
Real Man Wu Jiu did not wish to talk with him.
On the way back to his residence, Kuang Chen began to consider the possibility of seeking cooperation with other sects.
“Peak Master Kuang!”
A voice suddenly ca from the front.
Kuang Chen looked up and saw a group of people approaching him.
The leader, dressed in black martial arts clothes with red borders, holding a sabre, looked at Kuang Chen with a mocking expression:
“Went to seek Real Man Wu Jiu again? Didn’t get to see him, did you?”
Upon seeing this person, Kuang Chen’s face instantly darkened.
The person was nad Fan Lin, and he belonged to the Broken Blade Sect.
The Broken Blade Sect, like Tiansha Mountain, is located in the eastern part of the Da Lan Dynasty and is one of the first-rate sects in the Southeast Martial Arts, with four Martial Arts Masters within its ranks!
In the past, Tiansha Mountain was indisputably the leader of the Southeast Martial Arts, with ‘Mount Chen of the Seven Great Families’ in second place.
As for the third, it was undoubtedly the Broken Blade Sect.
Now that Tiansha Mountain has fallen from its top position, the dead cal is still bigger than a horse, at least it can still retain its second-place status.
But clearly, the Broken Blade Sect will not be satisfied staying in the third spot.
Since the death of Ying Jie, due to the sword left by Ning Qingman, no force has overtly taken action against them.
But covertly, small maneuvers have been continuous, with the Broken Blade Sect being the most excessive.
This ti, as Tiansha Mountain ca to the Yuhua Sect to offer congratulations, the Broken Blade Sect also sent people, mainly not to establish connections, but to keep an eye on Tiansha Mountain.
Kuang Chen didn’t want to engage in a war of words with them, coldly glanced at Fan Lin, and was about to change direction and leave.
But just because he wished to avoid trouble, Fan Lin wasn’t ready to pass up on the opportunity to kick soone when they’re down:
“Peak Master Kuang, why focus only on the Yuhua Sect when looking for cooperation? So many fellow martial artists are here, why not co over and have a chat?”
Fan Lin pointed to the people around him, laughing as he spoke.
These people represented forces that had long stood with the Broken Blade Sect and were covetously eyeing Tiansha Mountain.
Fan Lin inviting Kuang Chen over to talk was a deliberate humiliation.
“Fan Lin!”
Kuang Chen, representing Tiansha Mountain, knew that showing continual weakness would only feed others’ greed:
