Chapter 73 Purple Bamboo Peak
Chapter 73 Purple Bamboo Peak
On the main peak of Qingyun Mountain, a figure was slowly descending the mountain.
As the man walked, he continued to mutter curses under his breath!
"Holy crap! Making me walk back myself? Is this the kind of thing a master would do?"
"You were just laughing like an idiot, and I didn't even understand what you were trying to say. How can you blame me for that?"
That's right, this person is Lin Que!
Because Qu Lingyi wasn't kept, and because he said his master was laughing like an idiot.
Zhang Daojiu was so angry that he scolded him for disrespecting his teacher!
Finally, they decided to leave Lin Que alone, not letting him board the flying boat, and making him walk back to Purple Bamboo Peak on his own.
"But which of the five peaks is the Purple Bamboo Peak...?"
Lin Que didn't want to have wandered into several peaks for nothing, so he figured he'd have to ask someone for advice.
An hour later...
"This road down the mountain is too long," Lin Que kept complaining. But what could he do? The main peak was the highest.
Just as Lin Que was feeling a bit annoyed, a beautiful and graceful figure appeared on the path leading down the mountain ahead.
It caught Lin Que's eye!
It seemed he had found a way to ask for directions, so he quickly stepped forward, bowed, clasped his hands in greeting, and respectfully asked, "Excuse me, senior sister!"
"Junior brother, may I ask which peak is Purple Bamboo Peak?"
Hearing the voice behind her, the woman slowly turned around and smiled slightly at Lin Que.
He said softly, "After you descend the main peak, it's the second one on your right."
The sound was like a clear spring, extremely pleasant to the ear.
Lin Que raised his head and said, "Thank you... Senior Sister..."
Lin Que was stunned for a moment when he saw the woman's face, but he quickly came to his senses.
He exclaimed in admiration, "Truly, her smile was like a lotus in clear water, as elegant as the moonlight; she was an absolute beauty!"
This senior sister was indeed exceptionally beautiful, and possessed an elegant demeanor, no wonder Lin Que praised her so highly.
However, it was just admiration. After all, having been in the cultivation world for a long time, Lin Que had seen mostly beautiful women.
It seems that all the women who cultivate immortality are extremely beautiful. In any case, so far, Lin Que has not seen many who are not good-looking.
After seeing it too many times, one gets tired of it, so Lin Que only paused for a moment before coming back to his senses.
The tone of voice was only one of praise.
Lin Que then walked past the woman and said, "Junior brother will be going now. Thank you again for informing me, senior sister!"
The sun is about to set, so I need to hurry back to the Purple Bamboo Grove, or I won't even know where I'll sleep tonight.
Lin Que instantly forgot about his senior sister.
At this moment, it was the senior sister who was stunned, staring at Lin Que's departing figure as he quickly walked down the mountain for a long time.
After a long while, he chuckled softly to himself and said, "The pale moonlight, and the woman's stunning beauty..."
"This is really interesting..."
After saying that, the senior sister's figure gradually faded until she completely disappeared.
However, Lin Que, who was watching all of this happening behind him, certainly couldn't see it.
When he returned to Purple Bamboo Peak, it was already dark!
Zizhu Peak truly lives up to its name, with the entire mountain gate surrounded by a forest of purple bamboo, and all the buildings inside the gate are distributed within the bamboo forest.
Lin Que was a little confused and didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, there were quite a few disciples on the peak, so they immediately grabbed a fellow disciple and asked him.
Following his disciple's directions, Lin Que quickly found the room where his master, Zhang Daojiu, was.
"Dong dong dong~~~"
Lin Que knocked on the door.
"Please come in!"
A deep, middle-aged voice came from inside the door.
Lin Que tidied his appearance a little, smiled, and pushed open the door to go inside.
"Hi~! Master, it's me, the disciple of the Sword Seed!"
"This disciple would like to ask..."
"Bang~!"
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Que decisively stepped back and quickly closed the door behind him!
Upon seeing Lin Que's smiling face and bald head, Zhang Daojiu, who was inside the house, was immediately enraged. Without thinking, he grabbed a kettle next to him and threw it at him.
Because Lin Que moved quickly, the kettle only hit the door and did not hit him.
After waiting for a while and seeing no movement inside, Lin Que opened the door again, revealing his same cheeky grin.
Seeing that Zhang Daojiu was about to throw something again, Lin Que quickly waved his hand and called out.
"stop!"
Lin Que breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhang Daojiu had actually stopped.
And he said cautiously, "Master, let's talk this out. Let's all be reasonable, okay?"
"Although I was indeed wrong at the time, and failed to understand your meaning, Master, it was my fault."
"But to be honest, Master!"
"You tell me, weren't you laughing like an idiot back then...?"
"Fuck!"
Lin Que immediately slammed the door shut and made his escape!
This time, their steps didn't stop at all.
"Clang!"
At this moment, Zhang Daojiu was so angry that he drew the long sword beside him and started cursing loudly!
"Get back here right now!"
"I will kill you, you disrespectful and unfilial disciple!"
......
Morning at Zizhu Peak...
All the newly arrived disciples gathered in the Purple Bamboo Hall, including Lin Que.
Lin Que didn't dare go back to find Zhang Daojiu at all last night, but luckily he ran into another new disciple on the way.
He then followed him to the dormitory where the new disciples lived.
This finally gave Lin Que a place to stay. He had originally gone to Zhang Daojiu last night to ask where he was staying.
I heard that the new disciples are gathering today. Is there anything I need to tell them?
So Lin Que followed along.
Not long after, Zhang Daojiu appeared in the Purple Bamboo Palace.
But when he saw the bald man in the crowd, he started to feel angry again, but thankfully he calmed down after a night of adjustment.
In the end, I held back.
He then addressed all the new disciples present, saying, "Today is your first day at Purple Bamboo Peak. Let me explain the situation inside the peak to you."
"Our Qingyun Sect's Purple Bamboo Peak lineage is most skilled in swordsmanship. There is a training ground in the Purple Bamboo Forest behind the main hall for all disciples to practice."
"Furthermore, every new disciple can go to the miscellaneous room in the sect market square between the six mountain peaks to receive two sets of Purple Bamboo Peak disciple uniforms."
"There are many other places in the sect market, including pill shops, weapon pavilions, and library."
"In your spare time, you are welcome to go and have a look around."
"Then, each disciple can go to the weapon pavilion to receive a suitable sword for their own use."
"Furthermore, the library contains many sword techniques, martial arts skills, and spells treasured by the Qingyun Sect. You are all welcome to borrow them, but they will be categorized by level."
"And each disciple may only borrow one book at a time."
"Finally, there is the issue of each disciple's salary."
Upon hearing this, Lin Que immediately perked up his ears!
After all, what he wanted was these cultivation resources.
Zhang Daojiu continued, "Each new disciple will receive a monthly stipend of five hundred low-grade spirit stones. Don't think it's too little; it will increase as your cultivation improves."
"The salary received will also be increased accordingly."
"If you wish to acquire more cultivation resources, you can go to the sect market's mission desk to receive sect missions."
Those who complete the task will receive corresponding rewards from the sect.
"However, it is important to note that everyone must act according to their own cultivation level and capabilities!"
"Then, regarding any questions you may have about cultivation, you are welcome to ask the senior brothers and sisters of this peak."
"As your teacher, I will also guide you in your practice, and there will be a monthly lecture to answer your questions."
"By the way, there are still two of your senior brothers and sisters in Zizhu Peak, but they have gone out on a mission."
"You will all have the opportunity to meet again later. If there are no problems, then we can disband and go back to your own cultivation."
Although it's only 500 low-grade spirit stones, it's better than nothing. It seems the only way is to obtain more cultivation resources through quests.
Lin Que wondered if pill shops accepted pills, so that he could refine some and sell them when he had time.
As for where the sect market is, Lin Que does know.
After all, we passed by it yesterday after descending the main peak, but it was already late then.
They didn't linger for long...
