“Your disciple, under the pretext of sparring, injured many of our Zhiyue Peak disciples, causing chaos among us with chickens flying and dogs jumping, and numerous spirit beasts living in constant fear.”
“Your disciple burned my beard, a magnificent beard that I had grown for fifty
years.”
“Your disciple destroyed the spiritual herbs I had cultivated for a hundred
years.”
“Your disciple scribbled all over the portrait of this elder and also injured my
disciples.”
A group of Mount Shu elders were filled with righteous indignation.
Lu Changsheng’s disciple was truly too much trouble.
“Alas, my disciple is overly lively, and I am helpless in this regard, I hope the elders and fairies will be more accommodating on my behalf.”
“Lu, how you deal with your disciple is your business, even if she tears down Qingyun Peak, it has nothing to do with our Zhiyue Peak. From now on, you must discipline your disciple and not let her leave Qingyun Peak.”
Zhao Wuyan knew the special identity of Lian, and Lu Changsheng was also his junior fellow, and considering the damage Lian had caused was not that great, as long as Lu Changsheng admitted his mistake and disciplined his disciple from this point forward, Zhao would not pursue it further.
“Indeed, the elders of each peak must discipline their own disciples and kin.
“Elder Zhao’s words are very true; I hope Elder Lu will strictly discipline his
own disciples.”
The other Mount Shu elders echoed one after another.
“Ahem, elders, your words are too premature. I cannot suppress my disciple’s nature, for that could easily lead to inner demons, which is detrimental to cultivation. I, Lu Changsheng, will not treat the elders unjustly. This is a fifth-grade elixir pill, a token of my apology; I hope the elders will be more accommodating in the future.”
Lu Changsheng took out more than a dozen small jade bottles, each containing
a fifth-grade elixir pill.
With a thought, Lu Changsheng sent these small jade bottles into the hands of
the various elders.
Fairy Qingru opened a small jade bottle, and the potent strength of the medicine wafted out, undoubtedly a fifth-grade elixir pill!
“It really is a fifth-grade elixir pill… But such compensation is too generous, I
feel ashamed to accept it…”
“Elder Lu, how, how can we accept this?”
Initially, these Mount Shu elders wanted to scold Lu Changsheng loudly, but what he had given was too much…
It was so much that the Mount Shu elders actually started to feel guilty.
Despite the chaos Lian caused, it was ultimately a trifling matter that did not cause significant damage to the peaks, and yet Lu Changsheng had given each elder a fifth-grade elixir pill.
What could they say?
“My disciple is naturally playful, if the damage she causes in the future exceeds the value of this fifth-grade elixir pill, I will compensate the elders separately.
Lu Changsheng was generous with high-level elixir pills to win over the many Mount Shu elders, making them feel indebted to him.
“What are you talking about, Lu? We’ll look after your little disciple from now
on.”
“As long as there’s no loss of life, everything is negotiable.”
Even Zhao Wuyan’s expression softened.
Lian’s exceptional natural talent was well known; if Mount Shu raised her, she would surely protect Mount Shu in the future. So, letting her wreak a little havoc now seemed like an investment.
Moreover, Lu Changsheng had promised to compensate for all the damage caused.
“Then I thank all the elders and fairies very much.”
“Lu, you’re too good to your disciple, willing to use a fifth-grade elixir pill as compensation to maintain her natural disposition.”
“She is indeed fortunate to have you as her master in her three lifetimes of cultivation.”
“Brother Lu, we shall take our leave.”
Having received the fifth-grade elixir pills, the Mount Shu elders’ anger was quelled, and after expressing their feelings, they left satisfied.
“Fortunately, five-grade elixir pills are not a big deal for me.
Lu Changsheng used some five-grade elixir pills to get on good terms with many Mount Shu elders, so in the future, even if his disciples caused trouble everywhere, the elders wouldn’t have much to say.
“Master, Lian is back, so tired.”
Covered in dirt, Lian ran back to Qingyun Peak, stretched languidly, as the abundant energy of the Martial King Divine Physique finally gave out.
“Very good.”
Lu Changsheng nodded with satisfaction.
The reason he let this disciple cause trouble everywhere was also very important—the more exhausted the Martial King Divine Physique became, the better the effects of the next Body Refinement would be.
It seemed that training this disciple really did cost money.
“Go wash your face and change into clean clothes.”
“Yes!”
Lian then ran to the stream on Qingyun Peak to wash his face.
The daily routine of cultivating at Qingyun Peak was just like this, nothing out of the ordinary.
Several months later, Lin Qingzhi and Chen Yao’s Mount Shu squad had left Ji Country and arrived at Chen Country, all the while performing acts of chivalry and accumulating merit.
In Chen Country, at a Mountain God Temple, on a night dark and stormy, a Golden Core Realm ninth layer Mount Shu disciple led the team to hunt down the bandits within the temple.
The group of bandits consisted of raper with high cultivation levels practicing evil techniques, who had harmed many virtuous women and were on the wanted list by the Chen Country officials.
There were three Mount Shu disciples in the Golden Core Realm, and three more in the Qi Transformation Realm, unleashing Flying Swords and sending Sword Qi slashing through the air.
About a dozen bandits inside the Mountain God Temple were caught off guard by the sudden attack from the Mount Shu squad and were quickly killed. After a tough fight, all bandits were subdued except for one who escaped using Earth Escape Skills, having been injured before fleeing and unlikely to live for long.
“One escaped.”
“He was already wounded before escaping, he probably won’t live long.” “Even if he manages to survive, the Chen Country’s royal court will surely capture him.”
“Now that this matter is done, we should return to Mount Shu.
After dealing with the bandits at the Mountain God Temple, the Mount Shu disciples gathered around the campfire to discuss the journey back to Mount Shu.
After one year of training, the Mount Shu disciples had grown a lot, not just in cultivation but also in experience.
Chen Yao sat nearby, hugging her knees, chewing on dry food while casting sidelong glances at her junior brother, Lin Qingzhi.
Lin Qingzhi was meditating, seizing every chance to cultivate.
“This blockhead…”
Eight hundred miles away, at a concealed entrance, the escaped raper, badly injured, knelt before a sinister-looking elder: “Master, your disciples were ambushed by a group of Loose Cultivators. All but me were killed, please avenge us, Master!”
The sinister elder flew into a rage: “Who dares to provoke our Joyous Union Sect, one of the four Great Demon Sects? They must be tired of living!” “This, I don’t know where they came from, but the highest realm among the ambushers is just the ninth layer of the Golden Core Realm.”
“A mere Golden Core Realm dares to mess with our Joyous Union Sect, inform all disciples, follow your teacher to hunt them down!”
The realm of this Joyous Union Sect elder was at the second layer of the Nascent Soul Realm, and in the Joyous Union Sect, he was among the elders with the least power. But the Nascent Soul Realm was after all the Nascent Soul Realm and was not something for the ninth layer Golden Core Realm Mount Shu disciples to compare.
In his opinion, leading dozens of disciples to hunt down several Golden Core Realm and Qi Transformation Realm Loose Cultivators was as easy as capturing them by hand.
At the command of the Joyous Union Sect elder, dozens of Golden Core Realm and Qi Transformation Realm Joyous Union Sect disciples gathered, fierce and menacing.
Meanwhile, on Mount Shu’s Qingyun Peak, Lu Changsheng, who was meditating, opened his eyes: “It’s time to descend the mountain and help my disciple with his Tribulation.”
