Chapter 10 Visiting a Friendship Sect
The reluctant Shark transformed into the ring, only to be utterly astonished the next second.
The space inside the ring stretched as far as the eye could see, with rich spiritual energy filling every corner, and a large number of spirit stones and demon beast cores scattered all over the ground. It was like a cultivation paradise.
The gluttonous shark was moved to tears; this cultivator was indeed a man of his word.
Liu Xingxing waited for a while but saw no movement, so she knew that living things could live inside the ring and felt relieved.
"Alright, you can stay here. Feel free to use whatever you need, but don't touch these mid-grade spirit stones. I still need them. By the way, I'll call you Little Snake from now on. You can't be nameless."
"Good good!"
With all these treasures in hand, who cares about such trivial matters? Besides, she really looks down on them. With so many high-grade spirit stones left unused, who would even glance at those inferior spirit stones?
Without its leader, the beast tide was soon driven back.
Looking at the mess outside Sunset City, the ground was covered with blood that could be interpreted as either demon's or human's, and the stench of blood filled the air. The remaining people could finally rest for a while.
Liu Xingxing flew back to Sunset City on her sword. Seeing the miserable state of the city, she was still somewhat moved.
If it was just for fun at first, now seeing families carrying and gathering those corpses torn to pieces by the monsters has brought a deep sense of sorrow.
This is the world of cultivation, where demonic beasts kill people, and people kill demonic beasts, sometimes even more than demonic beasts.
Liu Xingxing is open-minded and won't become withdrawn over trivial matters.
After tidying himself up and casually collecting a few demon cores, Liu Xingxing prepared to return to the city inn to take a bath and then plan where to go next. However, before she could leave, she was stopped by Feng Gu and Yuan Hong.
Feng Gu bowed politely and said with a smile, "I am Feng Gu of the Twilight Cang Sect. This is Yuan Hong. Young friend, may I ask where you come from and what sect you belong to?"
Liu Xingxing paused for a moment, wondering what the two old men wanted, but still returned the greeting slightly and said, "I am a disciple of the Xuanshan Sect. I have come down the mountain for training. May I ask what brings you two here?"
Feng Gu stroked his beard and smiled, "So you are a disciple of the Xuanshan Sect. I just observed your clean and efficient methods in killing the demon beasts, so your cultivation must be quite remarkable. That's why I wanted to get to know you."
Since he was already a disciple of the Xuanshan Sect, it seemed there was no chance. Yuan Hong shook his head regretfully. However, Feng Gu thought differently. Being a disciple of the Xuanshan Sect did not mean he would always be one. What if he was some undiscovered gem?
"you flatter me."
Liu Xingxing was slightly embarrassed. Her cultivation level was not only not low, but it was almost the ceiling of the Yuanzhou Continent. It was just that she had been suppressing it. She had also concealed herself slightly when fighting the little snake, hiding in the flying sand.
A flicker of uncertainty crossed Feng Gu's eyes, then he smiled again: "I wonder who your master is, young friend? Someone with a disciple like you must be someone we all know by name."
Her master?
If her master were to tell them, they would be terrified.
Liu Xingxing replied quite naturally, "I have only recently entered the Xuanshan Sect and have not yet taken a master."
Feng Gu was somewhat incredulous. His attacks always hit vital points, and he could kill a demon beast comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator with a single strike. With such talent and strength, and considering that this child's bone age wasn't very old, it was impossible that he hadn't yet taken a master. Who would believe that if this were told?
Since the other party didn't want to talk about it, Feng Gu didn't need to shamelessly ask anymore, but that didn't diminish his appreciation for talent.
"I wonder if your training is over yet, young friend? If you have time, you might as well visit my Mu Cang Sect. It would be a friendly exchange between sects."
Liu Xingxing's eyes lit up. She didn't know where to go next, so she thought she could go to Mu Cang Sect and see how other sects taught their disciples, and also see how poor the sword cultivators were.
Liu Xingxing pretended to consider it carefully: "I don't have anything important to do right now. Since Elder Feng has invited me, I will accept the invitation. It would be a good opportunity to see what your sect's teachings and customs are like. I can also report to my master when I get back."
Seeing that things were looking promising, Feng Gu immediately beamed with joy and exclaimed several times, "Good, good, good!"
With the matter settled, the people of Mu Cang Sect did not delay and quickly resolved the immediate issue. After the three elders repaired the city's protective formation, they set off to return to Mu Cang Sect the next day.
Along the way, the disciples of the Twilight Sect were quite curious about this newcomer, but seeing that he could walk alongside the elders, they didn't say much.
Liu Xingxing and the others from the Mu Cang Sect flew on their swords for a long time before they could vaguely see the entire Mu Cang Sect.
Although the Mu Cang Sect does not occupy as much land as the Xuan Shan Sect, it is still one of the three major sects. Its main gate is quite impressive, and its sect layout is similar, consisting of various peaks and the main peak.
Once they landed, Feng Gu enthusiastically introduced each place to Liu Xingxing, while the disciples and the other two elders who followed him dispersed and went their separate ways.
Feng Gu led Liu Xingxing to the main hall, and the passing disciples of the Mu Cang Sect all cast curious glances at this person who was not dressed in their sect's clothes.
Upon arriving at the main hall, Feng Gu led the group inside, saying as they walked, "Our sect leader treats disciples from other sects very well. Don't worry, young friend, the sect leader cares deeply for talented disciples."
Liu Xingxing listened to these incomprehensible words with a blank expression, not knowing what the old man was trying to do.
Fang Zheng, the sect leader of Mu Cang Sect, was discussing with the elders the dispatch of disciples to the Shangyuan Secret Realm six months later when Feng Gu walked in with someone.
A glamorous female elder asked in an ambiguous tone, "The matter of Sunset City has been resolved? Elder Feng has returned so quickly."
A thin old man standing nearby chimed in, "Elder Yu, Sunset City only experienced one small beast tide this time. Of course, Elder Feng would have to come back after he finished dealing with it."
Feng Gu retorted without holding back: "It's only been half a day, and Elder Yu and Elder Guan's tongues have become even sharper!"
The fat man opposite also spoke up: "Hey, Elder Feng looks quite energetic. It seems he handled the Sunset City matter quite well."
Tsk, it seems Feng Gu's interpersonal relationships aren't very good. I wonder if coming back with him was a mistake.
Yu Xia glanced at the stranger and said, "Oh, you've brought a little girl with you. Where did Elder Feng pick her up from?"
Fang Zheng spoke up at the right moment: "Alright, alright, let's all say less. Elder Feng, how was Sunset City this time?"
Feng Gu stepped forward and reported: "Sect Leader, no one in Sunset City was injured or killed in this beast tide. More than twenty disciples were injured and three were killed. Many others who came to help were killed or injured."
"Well, this time it's nothing serious. Elder Qian, please get to work on the aftermath."
The fat man replied "Yes" and left.
Fang Zheng glanced at Liu Xingxing next to Feng Gu and asked, "Who is this person?"
Feng Gu added, "This is a disciple of the Xuanshan Sect. She also contributed greatly to the fight against the beasts. I think she is a good match, so I invited her to the sect for an exchange and learning."
Before Fang Zheng could say anything, Yu Xia interrupted again: "Oh~ a disciple of Xuanshan Sect? Xuanshan Sect has never had much contact with our sect. Could it be that Elder Feng just made up an excuse to pick up someone again?"
Even Liu Xingxing could tell that Elder Yu and Feng Gu didn't get along.
What happened between them? ('?')
Actually, there was a promising young man named Yu Xia with a single spiritual root in the previous competition. He wanted to be accepted into the sect after the competition, but Feng Gu snatched him away. He couldn't help but get angry whenever he thought about it, and the feud between the two eventually developed.
Liu Xingxing had no idea why, but she was unhappy that the woman kept saying she was adopted, so she stepped forward and bowed to Fang Zheng.
"Sect Leader of Mu Cang Sect, I am Liu Xing, a disciple of Xuan Shan Sect. It is indeed a bit presumptuous of me to come and disturb your sect. I only came to visit and exchange ideas at the invitation of Elder Feng. If your sect is not welcoming, then there is nothing I can do. I will take my leave now."
Fang Zheng gave Yu Xia a look and then turned to Liu Xingxing and said kindly, "Not at all, it is a great pleasure that a disciple of Xuanshan Sect has come to our sect. If you don't mind, young friend Liu Xingxing, I will immediately send someone to let you stay."
"I wonder how long you intend to stay, young friend? Our sect will be holding its entrance competition soon. I wonder if you will have time to stay and watch?"
Is there a competition?
That's great! But it seems the Xuanshan Sect's grand competition is coming up soon, so this is going to be quite a spectacle.
Although Liu Xingxing didn't quite understand the intentions of the Mu Cang Sect leader, she figured if he wanted her to see it, then so be it; it wouldn't hurt her anyway.
"Since the sect leader has invited me, how could I refuse? I also wish to see what your sect's competition is like."
Liu Xingxing's skill in making polite remarks has reached a level of perfection.
"Haha, okay, it's settled then."
Fang Zheng wanted to show her how the strength of a Sword Sect member compared to those of noble families like theirs.
And so, a member of the Xuanshan Sect moved into the western side of Xihu Peak of the Mucang Sect. The news spread throughout the entire sect in no time, and many people went to see what was going on, but most of them left disappointed.
In summary: He has an average appearance, only slightly handsome, but his robes are incredibly expensive; they could definitely fetch a good price if sold.
