JSCMU-Chapter 156: Kunlun Sword Sect, Ji Wusi

“Qing Yun, are you planning to take in a disciple?”

A hearty voice came from afar.

A middle-aged man walked over with a smile.

“Looks like that really is the case.” A beautiful woman also smiled slightly. “Qing Yun, come to think of it, this peerless genius is a girl, then if she really entered our Xuandan Sect, it would be more convenient for me to personally guide her.”

These two were the two other ninth-rank alchemists of Xuandan Sect: Li Yun and Feng Yu.

As soon as Qing Yun heard this, he became anxious, “Feng Yu, don’t make trouble! You already have several disciples, I haven’t even taken in one yet!”

“Even with several disciples, they probably still can’t compare to your one,” Feng Yu teased.

“What if that child dislikes your old face and just likes pretty elder sisters instead?”

Qing Yun’s face turned green, “Feng Yu, are you really going to fight me for this?”

Feng Yu couldn’t help but laugh, “Fine, fine. It’s rare for you to take a liking to someone. I won’t fight with you this time. But if she doesn’t want to become your disciple, don’t blame me for making a move.”

“Hmph. That’s none of your concern,” Qing Yun replied.

The three of them had an excellent relationship, and they were joking just now.

But the other disciples listening in couldn’t help but feel envious and jealous.

They had no idea how much effort it took just to enter Xuandan Sect. If one wanted to become a disciple of one of the three masters, that required enduring countless trials and years of suffering.

Yet that girl from Canglan Kingdom, who hadn’t even come of age yet, was about to be personally sought out by Master Qing Yun to be his disciple.

Such luck was simply…

They couldn’t resist contributing some Emotional Points to Yun Jin.

Moreover.

Currently, the news of Master Qing Yun successfully experimenting with the new pill formula and personally going to find that girl hadn’t spread widely yet. Very few people knew about it.

Once it did spread…

Those envious and jealous of her would likely multiply exponentially!

“Qing Yun, you should set off early. If that genius enters another sect first, you’ll be left crying,” Li Yun said with a laugh.

“Other sects? What right do others have to compete with me?” Qing Yun said calmly. “What am I in a hurry for?”

That’s what he said, but the next sentence that came out of his mouth was, “I still have things to do. I won’t chat with you anymore.”

He turned and hurriedly walked away.

Li Yun and Feng Yu exchanged knowing smiles but said nothing.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Qing Yun was ready to depart.

But he remembered Feng Yu calling him an old man earlier, so he tugged at his wrinkles in front of a mirror, and instantly looked much younger.

After thinking for a bit, he stuffed a bunch of good things into his storage ring.

At that time.

If there truly was a chance to take her in as a disciple, then a proper meeting gift could certainly not be left out.

Qing Yun made all necessary preparations and set off immediately.

Canglan Kingdom was remote, and the journey would take about half a month. Along the way, Qing Yun was already rehearsing how to say his first line upon meeting her.

Back at Heavenly Sword Peak, Yun Jin was still puzzled.

But this time, the system couldn’t give her an answer.

The distance was most likely too far, so even the system couldn’t monitor the cause.

However…

Since she was gaining Emotion Points and not losing them, Yun Jin didn’t dwell on it too much.

Over at Xuandan Sect, the Emotion Points increase slowed down, but there’s still a steady trickle. At this rate, it shouldn’t be a problem to gain another 100,000 points eventually.

The main contributors were the high-level cultivators in Xuandan Sect. Their emotional fluctuations were significant, and each one was at least a guaranteed triple-500 combo. The level of contribution was comparable to Ye Danxia.

With that, only 200,000 more Emotion Points were needed to reach the necessary high-level simplification attempts.

If she could host another flash sale auction, it’d be easy to fill up the rest.

But she couldn’t do that right now, so she had to think of another plan.

Lately, Yun Jin was planning to keep a low profile. Maybe she could send Gu Jinghong out to work on her behalf?

Just as she was still contemplating.

Suddenly.

Her system panel began to chime ding ding ding again.

Again, all of them were maxed out at 500.

Yun Jin: “???”

What’s going on now?

Was it more of those bigwigs from Xuandan Sect?

Yun Jin was unable to resist asking the system again.

This time, the system’s reply was just as concise.

“Kunlun Sword Sect.”

Yun Jin was stunned.

Kunlun Sword Sect?

What’s going on with Kunlun Sword Sect?

Could it be that Sword Elder reported her mastering the Azure Lotus Sword Technique?

But in Kunlun Sword Sect, weren’t there plenty of people who also learned the Azure Lotus Sword Technique?

Was this really something to get so shocked over?

Let’s rewind time a bit.

Kunlun Sword Sect.

To find the Innate Sword Body, every generation of the Sword Sect sent out many disciples to search outside. 

Whenever someone found a potential candidate, they would immediately report back to the sect.

Within Kunlun Sword Sect, there were personnel responsible for reviewing these submissions. If a candidate showed exceptional talent, the information would be passed up level by level, eventually landing on the Sect Master’s desk.

Unlike other sects, where the Sect Master simply manages affairs and may not be the strongest.

In Kunlun Sword Sect.

Every generation of Sect Master must possess the Innate Sword Body and be the undisputed strongest. Within the sect, their authority surpassed all others.

The Sword Sect’s doctrine was simple: Only the strongest deserve the greatest power.

This time.

Sect Master Ji Wusi was in good spirits and invited the sect elders to view the latest reports.

Across the vast land of Jiuzhou, talents were endless.

There was a youth, barely of age, who already cultivated the Azure Lotus Sword Technique to the fifth level.

There was a girl who not only learned the technique, but developed her own unique insights.

All candidates needed to at least mastered the Azure Lotus Sword Technique as a basic requirement.

But for someone like Ji Wusi, who possessed the Innate Sword Body himself and saw countless geniuses, this level of talent no longer moved him.

“Cang Li,” Ji Wusi said, turning his head, “someone with your level of talent is rare, perhaps it’s impossible to meet another.”

Cang Li, Ji Wusi’s eldest disciple, showed no expression and calmly replied, “Disciple does not possess the Innate Sword Body. In terms of talent, I’m not worth much.”

Ji Wusi sighed, and a trace of melancholy flashed in his eyes.

It wasn’t that the Kunlun Sword Sect insisted on finding someone with Innate Sword Body.

It’s just that the sect’s foundational treasure, the Azure Lotus Sword Codex, could be trained by others, but only those with Innate Sword Body could comprehend its true essence.

Only they could resonate with the ancestor who created it and glimpse that senior’s cultivation through vision-sharing, thereby gaining the true inheritance.

In the last generation, Ji Wusi’s master discovered him early on. Ji Wusi’s cultivation progressed smoothly, and after his master’s ascension, he naturally inherited the position of Sect Master.

But this generation…

He wasn’t as lucky. Even now, he hadn’t found a single potential seedling with Innate Sword Body.

At this moment.

The next recording stone began to play.

As usual, Cang Li watched with a calm expression.

On the screen.

A small raincloud appeared first.

Ji Wusi was surprised, “This is… Minor cloud and Rain Technique?”

Wasn’t this a spell used by botanists?

Did they play the wrong recording stone?

But in the next moment.

A sword pointed directly at the raincloud.

Cang Li paused, his expression subtly changing.

He noticed that the hand holding the sword wore a storage ring.

That storage ring was extremely familiar!

Then, a slightly youthful voice shouted, “First Wave!”

First Wave?

Using First Wave against a raincloud?

Ji Wusi’s expression shifted slightly.
