Arc 7 – Farewell to that Senior Brother
Chapter 160

After the formal training began, people were able to understand firsthand how fast cultivating with a Yin spiritual root really was.

While others were still struggling with studying <Basics of Heaven and Earth’s Spiritual Energy>, Chi Zhao had already managed to circulate spiritual qi around his body for three whole weeks and he even managed to start practicing basic techniques.

By the time others were finally able to learn how to control the spiritual qi, Chi Zhao had entered the qi condensation stage. Only seven months had passed since the day of the ceremony.

Because there were not many people with Yin spiritual roots who have managed to live until adulthood, everyone began to put him and the big villain together. With every achievement, people would remember when the big villain achieved it.

As soon as they finished recalling, they were horrified. Why was this one faster than the other cultivator?! If it continued like this, wouldn’t he reach the foundation establishment stage soon?!

When other disciples progressed quickly, the people would be extremely pleased, but when Chi Zhao progressed quickly, the entire sect, with the exception for the little disciples who are not well-versed in the world, would all have the same expression. The people from the other sects were the same. Although they left without saying anything that day, it didn’t mean that they have lowered their guard against Chi Zhao.

So what if he wasn’t taken over? He’s still the same Yin spiritual root!

He was clearly already a dangerous existence but now he even showed talent that far surpassed ordinary people. If one day his heart becomes unstable and he goes mad, what will happen to the rest of the cultivation realm?

While some sent people over to watch over Chi Zhao’s progress in the Zhao Tian sect, others wanted to talk to Zhao Tian sect about Chi Zhao.

However, the Zhao Tian sect’s sect leader didn’t care about sect matters so the actual leader was actually Lin Chengfeng. With Chi Zhao currently training with Lin Chengfeng, they couldn’t go and directly ask him if he had any plans to lock Chi Zhao up or kill him.

The disciples of Jiye Zhenren each have their own merits, and each have different personalities and talents, but there was one thing that they share in common.

They all like to shield the weak.

The current Chi Zhao hadn’t done anything, and he also got along with them well so they would never do anything to hurt Chi Zhao. If they knew that other sects had the intentions to kill him, perhaps they would even…..It wouldn’t even be a possibility. They would definitely stop them. It may even turn into a conflict between the sects.

Disaster. Yin spiritual roots are bringers of disaster! Look at that. He hadn’t done anything yet and they already can’t do anything. If something really happened, wouldn’t the peace that they had painstakingly maintained for the past six hundred years be ruined?

While others watched over Zhao Tian sect, Zhao Tian sect also watched over the other sects. Second senior brother Lu Yuezhi was the one in charge of external relations and affairs for the Zhao Tian sect. On the surface, it was just sending a few disciples to each sect as a study exchange but in fact, they were sent over as spies.

Unsurprisingly, the youngest junior brother who had just entered the second level of qi condensation has caused a sensation in the other sects. The sect leaders may not have said anything but the elder peak masters who have lived for hundreds of years were done. One by one, they are anxious like ants on a hot pan, as if Chi Zhao was soon about to destroy the world.

He was only in the qi condensation stage yet they’re acting this anxious.

Lu Yuezhi looked down at the coded message that was sent back and snorted, “Group of mediocre people.”

Fixing his sleeve, Lu Yuezhi stood up and headed for Lin Chengfeng’s residence.

He should let eldest senior brother see how capable their youngest junior brother is. Only half a year after joining the sect, he had already become a legendary figure.

Lu Yuezhi’s lips contained a smile. No matter how one looked at it, one could tell that he didn’t have good intentions. The place he lived at was quite far from where Lin Chengfeng was, but he liked to enjoy the scenery while walking so he didn’t use flying skills and slowly strolled over.

Lu Yuezhi had just broken into the nascent soul stage this year. In the cultivation realm, people who are in the nascent soul stage could be referred to as Patriarch, but he seemed to still carry a young man’s heart and would nod and greet disciples he met along the way. He didn’t put on airs and act like the sect leader’s second disciple at all.

It was just that everyone who was greeted by him all stiffened up. They would all panic and say ‘Martial Uncle Lu’ before quickly running away.

Seeing them run away so frantically, those who weren’t familiar would have thought that there was a level 9 beast chasing after them.

……….

Lu Yuezhi was used to this kind of treatment. Furthermore, the more others feared him, the better his mood. When he was about to reach his destination, Lu Yuezhi heard people talking inside.

It was Chi Zhao and an unknown female disciple.

Female disciple, “Martial Uncle Chi, what do you mean?”

Chi Zhao’s voice was very polite, “I’m asking you to put those things down and leave.”

This female disciple had some background. She was the princess of a country; her father was an Emperor governing over more than ten thousand citizens and her mother was a female cultivator. Since a young age, she had been raised preciously and because she had a talent for cultivation, her father valued her very much. Having managed to join the Zhao Tian sect and becoming an inner disciple, she felt like she was floating. What she didn’t expect was for Chi Zhao to talk to her like this.

The female disciple’s voice carried some anger, “Martial Uncle Chi, this disciple is here to deliver some papers to Martial Uncle Chengfeng. These papers are extremely important, so my master specially asked me to send it over and give it directly to Martial Uncle Chengfeng.”

Direct disciples of the sect leader are generally of higher status. Because the sect leader has lived for almost two thousand years and although his disciples are no more than seven hundred years old, they were all referred to as ‘ Martial Uncle’. Chi Zhao looked at the stubborn but pitiful looking female disciple before him and could feel fire flaring out from his heart.

Don’t think that since you look like a green tea bitch and behave like a green tea bitch, I can’t see that you’re essentially a white lotus!

What delivering papers? What needing to be given directly to Martial Uncle Chengfeng? You dare call Ling Chengfeng so intimately yet when it came to him it was Martial Uncle Chi? You’re intentions are too obvious yet you act like it’s not the case. Do you have no shame?!

Chi Zhao sneered and patted the spiritual sword in his hand.

Lin Chengfeng had asked what skills Chi Zhao wanted to train and, without even thinking, Chi Zhao chose the same one as Lin Chengfeng. After entering the qi condensation stage, Lin Chengfeng had taken out a simple spiritual sword from his warehouse and given it to him. This spiritual sword wasn’t powerful, and it was even more on the delicate side such that it looked like one used by female cultivators, but it was just right for the current Chi Zhao. Once he develops a little further, Lin Chengfeng would give him a new one.

Such a good spiritual sword was now used as a beating stick by Chi Zhao. He held the scabbard and hit the hilt against his palm again and again, and the smile on his face was so cold, it made the female disciple take a step back, “W-what are you doing?”

Chi Zhao narrowed his eyes, “Since you’re talking to this Martial Uncle so rudely, it looks like you’re not familiar with the rules. Do you wish to be sent to the punishment pavilion?”

As a direct disciple of the sect leader, Chi Zhao was on equal footing with all the elders in the sect. Even if he was only a new cultivator on the second stage of cultivation, he still had the right to send off the other disciples.

The female disciple’s expression turned stiff. She then refused to accept defeat, “I can’t be blamed for this. It’s Martial Uncle, you started…….”

“If you really came to deliver papers, I wouldn’t have gone out of my way to bother you. The time I’ve used talking to you would’ve been put to better use instead, but I am really annoyed.”

Chi Zhao’s tone was calm and slow, “Today is the fifteenth. You have come here six times this month and each time you would linger around for a long time before leaving and you also try to get closer to senior brother. For every ten lines you say, senior brother wouldn’t even say a single word in response. I don’t understand why you’re so persistent even with him acting like this. Aren’t you a princess? Has your father never taught you to back off when you can see that the other party isn’t welcoming your advances?”

The female disciple was embarrassed and angered. She was unable to retort, “I….I——-”

“I what? Since you have entered Zhao Tian sect, you should put away those useless thoughts and focus on training. You haven’t even been here for long yet you’re already thinking about finding at Daoist companion. With you not even reaching the qi condensation stage, you’re even attempting to become a Daoist companion of someone who is in their nascent soul stage. Is there anything else other than men in your mind?”

The female disciple was almost angered to tears. Chi Zhao placed down the spiritual sword and walked over to a stone table to pour himself a cup of tea. He then suddenly remembered something and added, “By the way, I helped pass the thousand-year miyin grass you brought over last time to senior brother but he didn’t want it and gave it to me so I ate it as a snack.”

Female disciple: “…….”

That was an exquisite gift her mother gave her! One or two of them was equivalent to thirty middle-grade spirit stones!

This time the female disciple really started crying with anger. When she ran out, she was still wiping away her tears. Chi Zhao was indifferent to all this and he continued to leisurely drink his tea.

“Even if she had some poor intentions, I don’t think you need to be this angry?”

A familiar voice suddenly sounded. Chi Zhao raised his eyelids and looked over before lowering his eyes again, “I’m teaching her a lesson on behalf of eldest senior brother. That grass thing will be returned in a few days.”

He wouldn’t eat things sent by his rivals. He had only said that earlier to anger the other party and let her know that all her efforts are futile.

Lu Yuezhi sat across from him. The more he looked at his current expression, the more curious he became, “Eldest senior brother doesn’t care about these things. People who want to be his Daoist companion can form a line from the Zhao Tian sect to the Lingshan sect. He is long used to it.”

Chi Zhao’s act of drinking tea paused for a moment. His expression turned visibly dark, but he didn’t say anything and continued to drink his tea. His drinking speed however was a little fast, as if he was sulking.

Lu Yuezhi was amused, “Youngest junior brother, don’t tell me…..”

Before he could finish asking, another voice sounded in the distance, “Why are you here?”

Hearing this cold voice, Lu Yuezhi paused. After that short pause, he swallowed back his unfinished words and turned around with a smile, “Nothing much. Just here to give you papers that must be handed over personally, right, youngest junior brother?”

Chi Zhao: “…….” Shut up.

After closing the door, Chi Zhao couldn’t hear what they were saying inside. He wandered around the yard for a while but saw that the people inside still hadn’t come out, so he could only return to his room to continue with his training. On the other end, Lin Chengfeng had just finished reading note brought over by Lu Yuezhi, “It is natural for them to be concerned. You can continue watching over them. If they do anything, inform me as soon as possible.”

Lu Yuezhi hummed in acknowledgement. He then looked at Lin Chengfeng’s cold and calm appearance and found the situation amusing so he added some extra embellishments when describing the scene he had just seen.

“Eldest senior brother, isn’t our youngest junior brother too concerned about your affairs? You weren’t there but he really looked like a beast protecting his prey. If he didn’t suppress his temper, he may have even fought the female disciple for real.”

Lin Chengfeng frowned, “Really?”

Lu Yuezhi nodded again and again, “Of course!”

Lin Chengfeng was silent for a while, “I understand.”

As for what he understood, Lu Yuezhi didn’t know. He still had matters to deal with on his end, so he left soon afterwards and as soon as he left, Chi Zhao was punished.
