Chapter 143: Returning to the Sect

~17 min read 3,214 words

On the ground, brilliance flashed, and Cheng Xinzhan and the white rat returned.

Eleventh Lady and Dengge came over immediately.

Eleventh Lady saw the white rat was still there, her brows frowned, her brows brought evil,

"Xinzhan, it lied to you?"

Cheng Xinzhan shook his head and smiled, "The fruit pit has been obtained. I invited the White lay practitioner to return to Mount Sanqing with me to spend his old age, and he agreed."

Eleventh Lady was happy from anger,

"Spending old age in the Xianshan, that is really a big bargain for it."

The white rat smiled and did not refute.

That is Mount Sanqing, it really doesn't lack this seven-hundred-year-old ginseng.

"Eleventh Lady, I have collected the fruit pit into the acupoints, but I dare not take it out to show you now, for fear of causing heaven and earth anomalies and attracting covetousness. I plan to take this fruit pit back to Mount Sanqing for cultivation. Why don't you follow me back to the mountain, and then take a close look at the divine object, how about it?"

Cheng Xinzhan looked at Eleventh Lady openly and directly stated that he was going to take the fruit pit back to the mountain.

Eleventh Lady smiled, "I have just experienced the report and the Autumn Hunt, and now I am in a hurry to return to Haiqing City to organize it, and then I have to return to Peacock City. When I arrive at Peacock City, the road is closer, and I will go to Yu Zhang to find Xinzhan."

"That's fine," Cheng Xinzhan nodded. He understood Eleventh Lady's meaning.

"Xinzhan came to see me when passing through Bohai, gave me Wood Sha, and helped me catch the wood spirit and win the Autumn Hunt. I am truly grateful in my heart. The Xianshan is quiet, and it is not good for me to visit frequently, but Baiyujing is lively. When Xinzhan has time, you must come to see me often, so that I can thank you properly."

Eleventh Lady said.

Cheng Xinzhan smiled and said okay.

So, Eleventh Lady flew away and headed towards Haiqing City.

Watching Eleventh Lady leave, Cheng Xinzhan took out an arrow, used his hand as a pen, wrote something on it, and used a spell as a seal. Then he threw the arrow, and the arrow disappeared directly into the void.

This was Mount Sanqing's message arrow. When it was earliest, it was taught to him by Daoist Jianxian.

He didn't plan to continue visiting friends. He wanted to return to the sect immediately. Not only that, he also asked the sect to send a Fourth Realm cultivator to pick him up to return to the sect.

Now, he thought that his own life was not as valuable as the fruit pit in his body.

If this sprouted fruit pit could take root in Mount Sanqing, then continuing Mount Sanqing's five-thousand-year foundation would not be a problem.

If there was any accident on the way back to the sect, it would be fine to hurt himself, but if the fruit pit was lost, it would be a death that could not be blamed.

After sending the arrow, Cheng Xinzhan hid his shadow and waited.

People from the sect came faster than Cheng Xinzhan. In less than an hour, a streak of light swept from the southeast and transformed into a human figure landing.

"Daoist Fu!"

Cheng Xinzhan was a little surprised to see the figure landing. He withdrew the Transformation Technique and appeared out of thin air.

The person who came was a spirited old man with white beard and silver hair. Cheng Xinzhan was very familiar with him.

The sect really responded to his request and asked a Fourth Realm cultivator to come!

The person's name was Fu Shouzhen, the Five Thunder Envoy of the Five Thunder Institute of Shuji Mountain, and was also honored as the Supreme Elder of the sect, two generations higher than the current Shuji Mountain Master Zhao Wuji.

When Cheng Xinzhan was learning magic at the Five Thunder Institute, he had heard his lecture.

"Cheng kid, what good thing did you touch that you need me to pick you up."

Cheng Xinzhan smiled mysteriously, "Daoist

Fu Shouzhen smiled and said it was fine, then cast a mysterious light that enveloped Cheng Xinzhan, the dog, and the mouse, transforming into an escape light once more and disappearing.

————

Mount Sanqing, Lotus Blessed Land, Mount Pingding, Sanqing Palace.

Sanqing Palace Hong Jiaozhu Ji Hehe, Pure Yang Hall Vice Hong Jiaozhu Shi Tongxuan, Yuan Yin Hall Vice Hong Jiaozhu Dong Shouren, Jade Capital Peak Vice Hong Jiaozhu Lu Duxing, and Mount Mingyue Master Wen Sukong were all sitting there waiting.

"Tongxuan, what kind of surprise do you think this kid will give us? What kind of treasure requires a Fourth-Rank cultivator to go and receive it?"

Hong Jiaozhu Ji Hehe said with a smile.

Tongxuan shook his head: "I can't figure him out. The war in West Kunlun is over, and he didn't want to return to the sect; he's probably still holding a grudge. This command arrow was sent from Mount Changbai, right, Duxing? I don't know how he ended up over there."

Lu Duxing nodded: "Yes, because it involved Xinzhan and the Fourth Realm, the news was reported directly to me. What kind of incredible treasure could there be on Mount Changbai? Haven't they discovered it all this time under the nose of the Medicine King Temple?"

"I'll mention one more thing: Shouren, and Sukong, Xinzhan cannot be allowed to run off again after he returns this time. The people from Mount Longhu have greeted me several times; their Longhu Fa Hui has been delayed for over a year. At first, it was because of the Blood God Sect and the rotation of the war in West Kunlun, but after the war ended, they insisted that Xinzhan must attend. Considering the child's mood, we haven't told him about this and forced him to return, but Mount Longhu has indeed been delayed for over half a year because of this. Now that Xinzhan is returning to the mountain, it wouldn't be good to keep them waiting any longer."

Hearing this, Wen Sukong remained expressionless; she didn't value these things, but since the Vice Hong Jiaozhu had spoken, she nodded as well, as others had their own considerations.

Yuan Yin Hall Vice Hong Jiaozhu Dong Shouren was the Vice Hong Jiaozhu in charge of Mount Mingyue. He was from Mount Danxia and had been in seclusion for over ten years, only coming out last year, so he hadn't met Cheng Xinzhan yet, but he had heard the name mentioned repeatedly since coming out of seclusion.

He also nodded but didn't commit himself, only saying:

"When the child comes over later, we can just ask for his opinion."

They didn't have to wait long; a flash of lightning streaked by, and Fu Shouzhen brought Cheng Xinzhan to the Sanqing Palace.

Cheng Xinzhan had been carried by Third-Rank cultivators several times, but this was his first time being carried by a Fourth-Rank cultivator, and he still felt a bit dizzy.

After landing, he shook his head and took a few deep breaths to regain his clarity. Then, seeing the appearance of the palace and the people inside, he knew where he was and immediately bowed in greeting:

"Greetings, Hong Jiaozhu, greetings, Ancestor, greetings..."

"This is the Yuan Yin Hall Vice Hong Jiaozhu; just call him Hong Jiaozhu Dong."

Tongxuan introduced him to Xinzhan.

Xinzhan acknowledged this and continued:

"Greetings, Hong Jiaozhu Dong, greetings, Hong Jiaozhu Lu, greetings, Master."

"Good child, no need for formalities, sit down."

Hong Jiaozhu Ji Hehe said with a smile.

Thus, Cheng Xinzhan sat down on a meditation cushion opposite them.

The Hong Jiaozhu saw the white mouse beside Cheng Xinzhan and said:

"You've brought a guest back as well."

After entering the Sanqing Palace, the dog lay honestly on the floor, its eyes fixed on the ground, not moving at all.

The white mouse, having been carried by a Fourth-Rank cultivator, was already scared half to death. Upon entering the Sanqing Palace and seeing everyone's aura as deep as an abyss and as vast as the sea, it almost fainted.

At this moment, seeing the Hong Jiaozhu look over, it trembled even more and dared not speak.

Seeing this, Xinzhan replied: "Hong Jiaozhu, this time I was fortunate enough to obtain a treasure, and it was all thanks to this guest, so I brought him back, intending to let him stay on Mount Sanqing for his retirement. I hope the Hong Jiaozhu will grant permission."

Ji Hehe nodded with a smile; this was a trivial matter. He said: "Then you must take good care of the guest in the future, so no one says Mount Sanqing doesn't know the way of hospitality."

Cheng Xinzhan acknowledged this.

"Xinzhan, then take a look, has everyone arrived? Can you tell us about the 'monumental matter' mentioned in your command arrow?"

Cheng Xinzhan naturally knew who was in the palace when he bowed earlier. At this moment, he really felt someone was missing, so he said:

"Hong Jiaozhu, I'm afraid I must also invite the Vice Hong Jiaozhu of Goddess Peak, the Master of Mount Ni, and the Master of Jade Void Peak."

The people present looked at each other, surprise on their faces, but also smiles.

Such a grand display was quite interesting.

Was this child trying to turn Mount Sanqing upside down?

"I'll go call them."

Jade Capital Peak Vice Hong Jiaozhu Lu Duxing said.

Before long, more people arrived at the Sanqing Palace.

Jade Void Peak Master You Weixu arrived first, bowed, and sat down behind Lu Duxing.

Goddess Peak Vice Hong Jiaozhu Su Duyi arrived second, nodded to everyone, and went to sit beside Wen Sukong.

Mount Ni Master Mao Weigong arrived last and chose a seat on the side.

"Everyone, our direct disciple from Mount Mingyue, Cheng Xinzhan, has found a treasure while out, and he says it is a monumental matter. Let us listen together." Ji Hehe said with a smile.

This was only possible on Mount Sanqing; otherwise, elsewhere, how could one gather the Hong Jiaozhu and Vice Sect Masters just because of a disciple's words?

Cheng Xinzhan, however, did not disappoint them. His opening sentence was earth-shattering:

"Disciple has found a sprouted Ginseng Fruit pit."

"What?!"

Even though they were all great figures with successful cultivation, some still cried out in shock.

Everyone leaned forward in unison to look at Cheng Xinzhan.

Mount Ni Master Mao Weigong had spent his whole life tending to plants and trees; hearing the words "Ginseng Fruit," he lost all composure and almost jumped up.

Cheng Xinzhan nodded: "Yes, teachers, it is a seedling of a Ginseng Fruit tree."

As he spoke, he took out the sprouted pit from his Earth Mansion.

>

The moment the pit left his body, five-colored brilliant light soared into the sky, and the vibrant life force was like a surging sea.

Ji Hehe reacted the fastest; with just a thought, the Sanqing Palace emitted a hazy clear light, suppressing the five-colored light within the palace.

Everyone stared fixedly at the pit in Cheng Xinzhan's hand.

"Teachers, this should have once been a complete Ginseng Fruit."

Cheng Xinzhan's words shocked everyone once again.

"I don't know when this fruit fell to the ground. After a long period of time, the essence of the fruit flesh was absorbed by the pit, and the pit traveled through the earth's veins, absorbing the essence of the earth's veins from various places. It only sprouted a few months ago in the western part of Mount Changbai."

"The reason I troubled so many teachers is because I thought that such a divine object must have extremely high requirements for the place where it takes root. I was afraid that we would need to gather the strength of the entire sect to create the conditions for it to stay."

"But even if we have to plow through Mount Sanqing, I believe it is worth it. Once the seedling becomes a tree, it can ensure the foundation of Mount Sanqing for ten thousand generations."

Cheng Xinzhan said sincerely.

The palace was silent; everyone was staring fixedly at the pit, their Dharma eyes wide open, the light of their pupils intertwining into a rainbow.

Feeling the absolute silence, the dog was so scared it even stopped breathing.

"Hahahaha!"

Hong Jiaozhu Ji Hehe suddenly burst into loud laughter, laughing until he leaned back and forth.

"Hahaha! Great joy! Great joy!"

"Hahahaha! The ancestors have mercy!"

"Well done! Good child!"

"Ten thousand generations of foundation!"

"..."

Everyone was laughing loudly; some were laughing until tears came out. The laughter seemed even more powerful than the five-colored light of the pit, almost blowing off the roof of the Sanqing Palace.

"Hong Jiaozhu!"

Shi Tongxuan suddenly stood up. He bowed to Hong Jiaozhu Ji Hehe and said:

"This old Daoist resigns from the position of Vice Hong Jiaozhu of Pure Yang Hall and requests to guard the fruit tree."

Everyone's smiles froze.

Ji Hehe frowned and thought for a moment, then smiled with relief:

"Very well, it is the seed brought back by your family's junior anyway, so it's your gain! I have no problem with this. It just so happens that the Vice Sect Masters are all here today; does anyone have any opinions?"

The other four Vice Sect Masters looked at each other and also smiled, pointing at Shi Tongxuan:

"It's your gain!"

Shi Tongxuan laughed loudly and bowed repeatedly: "Thank you all, thank you all!"

From then on, the ten people in the palace never left the Sanqing Palace again. Instead, people were constantly summoned into the Sanqing Palace to discuss matters. But at this time, the pit was naturally taken back into Cheng Xinzhan's Earth Mansion.

Because they were worried about delaying the rooting time of the pit, the entire sect was mobilized. By the next day, many major policies had already been determined.

Effective immediately, move mountains and remove ridges to construct Mount Nanping. Mount Nanping connects the southern ends of Mount Dongping and Mount Xiping. The three mountain ridges are connected head to tail, using the Lotus Blessed Land in the northwest, the Wan Huchao Tian peaks in the southeast, and Mount Shouyin in the southwest as connection points. At the same time, dredge the earth's veins to connect the various peaks of the three ridges and conduct the earth's energy.

Effective immediately, within the embrace of the three ridges, based on the five mountains of Yujing, Yuhua, Yuxu, Dantai, and Toujian, adjust their positions and build two new mountains, Yunzhong and Lixue, to form the Big Dipper formation with the previous five mountains.

Effective immediately, excavate a new river at the foot of the seven mountains, named the Fenji River. The Fenji River starts at Yujing Peak and ends at Mount Lixue, then turns underground at Mount Lixue to become an underground river.

Effective immediately, mobilize the Six Dragons Returning to the Sun Nine Heavens Cloud Prohibition Array to collect heavenly rain and earthly water, inject it into the Fenji River, and at the same time conceal the movements and seal the mountain from the outside.

Effective immediately, at the position pointed to by the Big Dipper, in the Ziwei direction, build another new mountain. An underground river of the Fenji River flows under the mountain, and a tunnel is opened directly to the fire cave of Mount Danxia. Bury gold essence and jade stones in the mountain, plant exotic flowers and trees on the mountain, form a Dharma array, and absorb the earth's energy from the surrounding mountains.

The mountain is not high and is named Wufu.

When Mount Sanqing, with its six thousand years of heritage, goes all out to do one thing, there is nothing difficult.

On the tenth day, Mount Wufu, which had been shrouded by the Cloud Prohibition Array from beginning to end, had already been built.

By the Hong Jiaozhu's decree, before the ban is lifted, only the Hong Jiaozhu, Vice Sect Masters, the Master of Mount Ni, and Cheng Xinzhan can freely enter and exit Mount Wufu.

On the eleventh day of Cheng Xinzhan's return to the mountain, the harmony of the five elements of Mount Wufu was completed, and the earth's energy of all the mountains of Mount Sanqing, including the Lotus Blessed Land, was gathered here.

On this day, Ji Hehe, Dong Shouren, Lu Duxing, Su Duyi, Mao Weigong, and Cheng Xinzhan came to Mount Wufu.

Cheng Xinzhan looked around; this Mount Wufu was estimated to be only a hundred zhang high, the mountain terrain was very gentle, but it was indeed full of spiritual energy. Exotic flowers and plants could be seen everywhere, but pine and chrysanthemum were the most common, giving it an antique and elegant feel.

As he walked, his body brought out a breeze, and the rich spiritual energy was stirred by the wind, turning into water droplets that dripped down.

On the sunny hillside, there was a flat area, which was the eye of the five elements of this mountain. At this moment, someone was already waiting there.

Cheng Xinzhan looked; who could it be but Ancestor Tongxuan.

Ji Hehe walked over, pointed at Shi Tongxuan, and said with a smile:

"It's only been ten days, why do I feel your hair has turned a bit darker? Does not being this Vice Hong Jiaozhu make you so relaxed?"

Shi Tongxuan laughed loudly: "Doesn't the lack of the labor of official documents make one relaxed?"

Everyone laughed, then turned their gaze to Cheng Xinzhan.

Cheng Xinzhan naturally understood, walked to the center of this open space, and took out the pit.

The pit was flashing with brilliant light; Cheng Xinzhan faced the green sprout upward and pressed the pit into the ground.

Everyone watched to see if the pit was satisfied and if it would escape, although the sky and underground of this mountain had already been locked by the Dharma array.

One breath, two breaths, ten breaths, one hundred breaths.

Everyone waited, their hearts gradually relaxing.

After waiting for a full half-hour, everyone finally felt completely at ease. It seemed that making such a big commotion was worth it, as long as this master was satisfied.

Everyone prepared to leave; Shi Tongxuan would be stationed here permanently.

"Hey, look!"

Shi Tongxuan suddenly said in a low voice, but although the voice was small, everyone could hear the joy revealed in it.

Everyone turned back, each operating their Dharma eye pupil techniques, and they all saw it:

In the ground, at the bottom of the pit, three or four tender white root hairs were emerging from the pit and taking root in the soil.

Several people wanted to burst into loud laughter, but they were afraid of disturbing the divine seedling, so they held it in very hard. Some who really couldn't help it let out low laughs.

Looking at it this way, the high-level cultivators who moved mountains and created rivers were no different from the old farmers watching seeds sprout in the fields.
