After fleeing Yong’an Pawnshop, he headed toward Tang Men, seeking Tang Xuejian to cure the deadly poison. But he hadn’t run far before he spotted that slender figure lingering nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xuejian!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Tian hurried forward, seeing Xuejian’s face, and felt reassured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where did you go last night?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuejian lifted her eyes, sounding slightly angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Last night…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mention of last night, Jing Tian felt a thousand words rising, yet none to say—his experience had been too bizarre to be believed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuejian narrowed her eyes, stepping closer to study his guilty expression, saying: “You’re not going to make up some tired old lie about being taken as a disciple by a peerless sword immortal and training all night, are you? That’s so cliché.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“… ”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Tian scratched his head and said: “Last night, there really was a sword immortal taking disciples.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After last night’s events, Gu Qing had called Jing Tian aside, asked him a few simple questions, and Jing Tian, overjoyed, immediately became his disciple. That night, Gu Qing had taught him Qionghua Sword Art. Though brief, that single night had transformed Jing Tian—when he stood before Xuejian again, he was a different man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nonsense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuejian shook her head, pulling out the antidote to the iron caltrop poison and handing it to Jing Tian: “Your poison is shallow—you could’ve gone ten or twenty days without issue. But I keep my promises, so here’s the antidote.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning to Tang Men, Xuejian had faced great upheaval herself. Now she carried the Five Poisons Beast and was fleeing for her life. But before leaving, she remembered Jing Tian’s poison, slipped into his room at night—found him gone—and began lingering outside Yong’an Pawnshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The antidote’s given. I’m off to roam the Jianghu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Xuejian kept glancing at Jing Tian, then let out a light huff: “Still need someone to run errands.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuejian wanted to take him along—Jing Tian was more than willing—but before leaving, he brought Xuejian to the Xiaoyao Inn in Yuzhou City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, Xuejian saw two people in the main room: a young woman in purple Miao attire holding a child, and a girl with blue hair. Jing Tian entered and bowed to the purple-clad woman: “Sister Zi Xuan,” and to the blue-haired girl: “Sister Long Kui.” Under their guidance, he headed upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Zi Xuan and Master seem like lovers, but not quite—they tease and flirt, yet stay within propriety,” Jing Tian explained to Xuejian. “Sister Long Kui says she’s my sister, and I feel close to her too. She’s studying the Ghost Dao under Master. They say her ghost power is the lowest in the Six Realms—only Master can guide her to immortality.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuejian found all this confusing, eyeing Jing Tian as if he were utterly unreliable. Just then, as they entered the room, they overheard Gu Qing speaking with the innkeeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your child can be named Li Sansi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He can join my sect later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Sansi was Li Xiaoyao’s father. To touch Li Sansi meant altering Li Xiaoyao’s very foundation—now firmly under Gu Qing’s influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Tian entered at that moment, bowed to Gu Qing, and introduced Xuejian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything from last night told Jing Tian: Gu Qing was a living immortal. Following Gu Qing offered a path to immortality. So last night, he’d swiftly become his disciple. Now, hearing Xuejian planned to roam the Jianghu, he brought her along too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When there was benefit, Jing Tian naturally thought of Xuejian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you really a sword immortal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuejian tilted her head, studying him. She was created by the goddess Xi Yao of Heaven to accompany Fei Peng, born from a divine tree fruit, bound to Jing Tian from birth. They had fallen in love at first sight, each longing for the other—even seeing Gu Qing didn’t shake her devotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing gestured with one hand; the Xihe Sword flipped in midair, glided once around the room, then clanged back into its sheath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuejian’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you wish to become my disciple, I’ll accept you—for Jing Tian’s sake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing spoke with serene calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main cast of Sword and Fairy III was the most elite in the entire Sword and Fairy series: a descendant of Nüwa, a divine tree fruit, a reincarnated divine general, and Long Kui, a thousand-year ghost cultivator. Together, they had truly defeated the gods in Haidicheng and the Heavenly Realm through sheer strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuejian hurried forward to kneel and pay homage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing gladly accepted her as a disciple and taught her Taiji Xuanqing Dao. This method, refined through the Five Scrolls of Heaven and Gu Qing’s accumulated insights from the White Snake and Baolian Deng worlds, was now vastly different—and far more adept at wielding divine arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuejian, having received the teachings, immediately began complaining: “At Tang Men…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xuejian!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing stopped her: “You and Jing Tian have both learned Daoist arts and sword techniques—you can handle Tang Men’s upheaval. You may not prevail at first, but with a little refinement, Tang Men and Pili Tang will be within your grasp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pili Tang was easy to crush—so why not crush it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man must save face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Jing Tian and Xuejian settled, and Li Sansi and the future Li Xiaoyao secured at the Xiaoyao Inn, Gu Qing turned his thoughts to Situ Zhong of Shu Shan—the future Wine Sword Immortal—who had not yet joined Shu Shan. As for Sword Saint Du Gu Yuyun, he had joined as a child and already trained within Shu Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing wasn’t suddenly aiming to expand Qionghua and crush Shu Shan—he simply wanted to poach Xu Changqing’s people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine Difficulties of Dao cultivation include attachments to spouses and lovers, entanglements with fame and fortune. Gu Qing took Xu Changqing’s wife and friends precisely to help Xu Changqing achieve immortality!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1134,"2026-06-20T17:04:28.193Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","87d5d80f6a9cdf8c38f6b4c456d59c280cd22e2486dd8e01917d4915e2540bab","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-416","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-414",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
