Liu Xiaolou shoved it aside: “Don’t block the others—there are still many gifts to come!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the goose stubbornly circled Liu Xiaolou, frantically shaking the chimes: “Ding ding dong dong…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou grew utterly exasperated, anger flaring in his chest, malice rising in his heart; he was about to pluck and skin the goose and toss it into the pot to stew—when suddenly he felt himself shaken violently, the world spinning, heaven and earth overturned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his eyes—it was all a dream. The one shaking him was Tan Ba, and the sound of the wind chimes had just faded from the ridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind chimes ringing meant an alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Longshan Sanren and Zuo Gaofeng had also woken; one had circled to the back of the courtyard to check, the other had just come down the ridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiaolou, your white goose is amusing—it’s the one shaking the chimes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I didn’t see any smoke signals from the village…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou said: “Likely someone came to pay respects and disturbed your rest—I’m truly sorry for the disturbance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, footsteps approached; soon, a boy of thirteen or fourteen emerged from the woods and arrived before the firewood yard, calling out: “Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Longshan Sanren stroked his beard: “This is my newest disciple, Li Busan from Xikou Village. Disciple, come and pay respects to these elders.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy Li Busan stepped forward and bowed deeply. Zuo Gaofeng chuckled: “You’re Li Laoshi’s son? You used to pee on my lap when you were little, hehe…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xikou Village lay west of Wulong Mountain; Liu Xiaolou and Tan Ba rarely went that way, so they didn’t know him—but since he was of Wulong Mountain’s lineage, they naturally felt a kinship, each pulling out silver, gold, pearls, or jade as gifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gifts were all mundane items, merely symbolic, nothing compared to the wedding presents Liu Xiaolou had received. The day before, Longshan Sanren had gifted pine resin essence—no one knew where he got it, but it was exactly what Liu Xiaolou needed; Zuo Gaofeng and Tan Ba each gave a spirit stone, generous indeed for cultivators without a sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Busan reported to Longshan Sanren: “Master, Qianling Senior has been taken—captured in front of his cave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was startled. Zuo Gaofeng’s face darkened: “Which sect launched an assault? Why did we hear nothing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please visit the latest address\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Ba looked around anxiously: “Oh no, oh no—is it still possible to get down the mountain? Xiaolou, does your Gan Zhu Ridge have any secret passages?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou was also alarmed: “Why didn’t Tian Bo notice? What about Old Auntie at the village entrance? Tan brother, let’s head this way—will we make it in time…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Busan hurriedly explained: “I didn’t make myself clear—it’s not a sect assault. A few outsiders came seeking revenge. Early this morning, they ambushed Zhongling Valley and captured Qianling Senior, intending to take him out of the mountain. First discovered by Huang Senior of Jade Maiden Cave, then the Ma uncles from Wuzi Peak arrived, followed by Jiang Senior of Flying Tiger Cave, Zhang Shihua of Stone Flower Valley, and Hu Du Daochang of Gourd Mouth. Jiang Senior sent me to inform you and the elders to come and assist!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group exchanged glances. Tan Ba asked: “So it’s truly not a sect assault?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Busan replied: “Jiang Senior said only a few outsiders were involved—strong cultivators, but few in number.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Ba immediately flew into a rage: “A few outsiders dare to cause trouble on Wulong Mountain? Do they think we have no one here? Let’s go—give them a black-out beating!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou also laughed: “No wonder we didn’t get the village alarm—these outsiders have some skill and planning, but they’re utterly clueless about their own mortality. Is Wulong Mountain so easy to enter? They’ll likely come in but never leave!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Gaofeng stroked his beard thoughtfully: “Wulong Mountain is famed throughout Jing and Xiang—how could these outsiders have such boldness? This is suspicious. We must deliberate carefully…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Longshan Sanren waved his hand: “What’s there to deliberate? We can’t let Qianling be dragged off the mountain—what would that say about our Wulong Mountain brethren? Busan, where is he now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Busan replied: “Master, when I left, Jiang Senior said they were at Tiankenggu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No further discussion—everyone immediately set off. Even the great white goose charged down the ridge, squawking happily behind Liu Xiaolou, marching proudly toward Tiankenggu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a great sect had come to assault, we might have no choice but to flee—but you few outsiders dare come to seize someone? Don’t you know Wulong Mountain is a dragon’s den and tiger’s lair?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tiankenggu was where the vine demon was discovered last year; Qingyu Sect surrounded the mountain, and their prodigious inner disciple Jing Zhao shattered the vine demon there—this battle greatly advanced his cultivation, and his name became known throughout Jing and Xiang; the whole realm now knew Qingyu Sect had produced a once-in-a-century cultivation genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou also swallowed a seed from the vine demon in that battle, nearly died on the spot, and had already drafted his will, planning to pass the Sanxuan Sect to Tan Ba.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past year, countless Wulong Mountain cultivators had searched the site, seeking the secret behind the sudden appearance of the vine demon; many outsiders had also tried every means to enter Wulong Mountain to find remnants of the demon—but all came up empty. In just one year, Tiankenggu had recovered seventy to eighty percent of its original appearance, showing no trace of the great battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they arrived, they saw many people gathered on the southwest side of Tiankenggu, and pushed their way into the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the circle stood five outsiders, holding Qianling, whose meridians had been sealed, facing off against the Wulong Mountain cultivators. With such a small force, they would have been overwhelmed long ago—had they not feared harming Qianling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Feihu of Flying Tiger Cave had always been close to Qianling; now he stepped forward to negotiate with the outsiders, demanding they release him, while also restraining the hot-tempered Wulong Mountain cultivators from attacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiaolou peered closer and chuckled—he recognized one of the outsiders: this man was Dong Wei, the same one who had persistently tried to kick him out of the marriage banquet at Shenwu Mountain, a scion of the impoverished Dong family of Qishan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Longshan Sanren was a Qi Refining tenth-layer expert, highly respected among Wulong Mountain cultivators. Seeing him arrive, Jiang Feihu hurried over for help: “Please, Master Longshan, calm the others’ anger—we cannot act rashly, or Qianling will die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please visit the latest address\u003C\u002Fp>",1306,"2026-06-19T23:11:25.549Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c39d7beb687c98f257ade238dc520d32f45dcfae0dc115b3907042be0f7da623","notes-on-cultivation-at-wulong-mountain-chapter-111","notes-on-cultivation-at-wulong-mountain-chapter-109",638,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnotes-on-cultivation-at-wulong-mountain-cover.jpg"]
