Chapter 268 Something big happened
It was late autumn, the grass and trees were withered and yellow, and on the Wanzhang Plain, a group of low-level monks were searching for a seasonal elixir - Polygonatum sibiricum - in the grass.
Polygonatum sibiricum is one of the main ingredients of the Bigu Pill and the demand for it has always been very high. Wanzhangyuan to the north of Wanjian City is full of it, so every season, there will be waves of people looking for medicine.
Although the price of this Polygonatum odoratum is not high, the Wanjian Sect purchases it at the market price and has no trouble selling it. Therefore, not only will the independent cultivators in Wanjian City come to collect it, but the low-level disciples of the Wanjian Sect will not let it go either.
At this time, the branches and leaves of the Polygonatum sibiricum have turned yellow and are mixed in with the tall weeds, so you can easily miss them if you are not careful.
So these people looking for medicine almost all hold a thin stick in their hands, and walk forward with their heads down while pushing aside the grass.
As we were walking, we suddenly heard a sharp whistle from the sky! Even though it was thousands of feet high in the sky, the pressure still made people tremble!
Because the temperature in the north is low all year round, the spiritual birds of Piaoxue Sect don't like to come south unless there is something important.
There was a little female cultivator who had never seen such a ferocious bird since she was born. She was frightened by its ferocity and immediately threw away the stick in her hand and squatted down with her hands on her head.
"Junior sister, what are you afraid of? It's just a snow eagle that is unique to the Piaoxue Sect. This is the territory of our Wanjian Sect. Since you have never seen it before, just look at it openly!"
"Uh-huh!"
Perhaps she felt a little embarrassed to be frightened like this, so the young female cultivator nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, just asking her senior brother to skip the topic.
The senior brother did as she wished and didn't say anything else. He just chuckled and pulled her up.
When she calmed herself down, she squinted her eyes and looked up, and saw a huge spiritual bird coming from the north.
In late autumn, the sky of Wanzhangyuan is blue, and it seems so big that the wings of a big bird can be spread out. Just by flapping its wings gently, it can fly forward very far.
Not every force is qualified to lead a large army straight to the gate of Wanjian Sect.
If any force other than the Tianyin Sect wants to do this, in addition to reporting before entering the country, they must first go to Wanjian City and wait for someone from the Wanjian Sect to receive them before they can follow the guide.
Probably getting closer to Wanjian City, the Snow Eagle began to lower its flying altitude. When the people below looked up, it seemed as if a huge dark cloud was flying by.
Fixed on the back of the snow eagle was an extremely exquisite pavilion.
Various gemstones and spiritual materials are surrounded by colorful spiritual light, and even mortals can see their extraordinaryness.
"Brother, our sect has been very busy recently. Is there anything going on?"
A few days ago, when they were collecting Poria cocos, another main ingredient of the Bigu Pill, in the pine forest south of Wanzhangyuan, they saw the floating cauldron from the Danxin Sect and the Wanzhang Immortal Carpet from the Tianfu Sect.
These means of transportation are generally used when major forces have big events happening and are led by Mahayana masters for group travel.
The surrounding forces are sending large troops to the Wanjian Sect. Even a fool would know that something big is happening. Although she has only been in the sect for less than two years, she is still worried.
"I don't know either. I guess it's not a small matter."
After hearing what her senior brother said, the younger sister couldn't hold back her curiosity, so she pulled her senior brother's sleeve and started shaking it.
"Good brother, let's go back and take a look, okay?"
"What's wrong with that? Let's go!"
This season's Polygonatum has been almost dug up, and what remains on Wanzhangyuan are only small pits on the ground and small seedlings that cannot grow into good trees.
They were going back too.
The two of them didn't care about anything else. They each stuck two talismans on their legs and started running towards the animal cart shop.
Flying boats are fast, but the tickets are expensive. Unless it is an emergency, these young disciples most often ride in various kinds of animal carts.
Except for the mountainous area where the Wanjian Sect is located, the rest of the place is mostly hills and plains. Official roads lead to all directions, and there are sect-operated animal cart shops everywhere.
These animal carts could not fly and could not go in a straight line. When the two returned to the sect, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
It was the time when the golden crow was setting in the west and the sky was filled with sunset glow. The two jumped off the beast cart and hurried to the main peak square. Before they could even shake off the dust on their bodies, they saw the giant luxurious flying boat of the Tianyin Sect also arrived at the floating platform at the edge of the square.
The two counted on their fingers and found that in just a few days, four major forces had arrived with great fanfare, but they still didn't know what had happened. They were in great torment!
However, only the sect's top leaders knew about this. Most of the people involved, even the Yuanying Zhenjun in the escort team, did not know about it.
These little disciples sent out a lot of note transmission notes, and also received a lot of them. You asked me and I asked you, but we just couldn't get any clues.
Just when curiosity was about to explode, the Qingshen Sect, which was the farthest away, finally arrived.
The Qingshen sect monks did not care about fancy clothes and ornaments, and both men and women were very simple. When they came, they came in a carriage.
The long convoy and the dusty people looked no different from a merchant caravan from the mortal world.
But the Qingshen Sect was the farthest away, and it arrived only one or two days later than the other four sects. Even if the horses pulling the carriage looked ordinary, there was no reason for them to be ordinary.
After all, no matter how unrefined a person is, it is impossible for him to carry a horse-drawn carriage for a long distance.
The people from the Qingshen Sect arrived, and the guide picked them up in Wanjian City and brought them directly to the guest house.
The five major forces were about to draw lots for the order of transplanting the Enlightenment Tea, and the disciples of the Wanjian Sect began to become absent-minded during their morning exercises.
On this day, after an autumn rain, the temperature in the mountains dropped sharply. Everyone crawled out of their warm beds, climbed onto the backs of the cranes, and headed towards the main peak square, yawning almost all the way.
Whenever this happened, Mr. He would personally lead a team to transport the young disciples, for fear of delaying their daily morning exercises.
No matter whether it is sunny or rainy, as long as they are not on a mission, the young disciples must practice sword skills for an hour after arriving at the main square of the main peak. They will leave here in an orderly manner and go to the cafeteria of Lianhua Peak until it is bright.
After breakfast, we go to school and start the day's study.
On this day, it rained in the middle of the night and stopped for only two hours. When I was halfway through my sword practice, it started to drizzle again.
Faced with such bad weather, the teachers did not let their disciples go back to rest, but instead took the opportunity to teach them how to multitask.
"When practicing swordplay, try to wrap yourself in spiritual power. If you don't get splashed with a single drop of rain at the end of the morning exercise, there will be a reward!"
The latest disciple to join the sect had already been in the mountains for two years, and knew what the pancake was, so no one was interested in it.
However, if you dare not practice this sword, you will be punished immediately.
Everyone had to be patient and practice hard.
Practicing sword skills is a dynamic process. It is not easy to build up a spiritual power shield that is large enough without affecting the people around you.
Those disciples who have practiced Qi at the first or second level are given preferential treatment. At this time, they can go to places with protective formations to continue practicing swordsmanship. Those with slightly higher cultivation levels are not allowed to do so.
Training hard in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer, it has never been easy to become an excellent swordsman.
It's not easy when the weather is good, and it's even more difficult when it rains.
Just when everyone was exhausted and stretched to the limit, with raindrops hitting their bodies all over, they saw someone walking towards them on the road behind the main peak with an umbrella.
Holding a green umbrella and wearing a red dress, walking in the rain, neither hurried nor slow.
I saw her take a few slow steps and then lift her leg up onto the floating platform.
Everyone looked up and saw a huge warship, full of battle flags, slowly approaching from the depths of the sect at some point.
The eldest sister flashed onto the deck, and then with a crisp "bang" sound, a flaming red battle flag was planted at the front of the deck.
hiss--
No one cared to practice sword fighting. They just stared blankly at that place, and all of them were soaked like drowned rats.
The gentleman was furious and made a gesture with his hands, and the drizzle immediately turned into heavy rain!
A group of little disciples were so soaked that they cried for their parents.
After a while, the discussion suddenly became louder - the eldest sister has stepped in, what is going to happen?
No one knows, but they all want to know.
"Go, go, go, go, go back and change your clothes! You've been worrying about nothing all day long!"
The gentlemen urged the young apprentice angrily, looking back at the warship sailing away, their hearts filled with envy.
Only those who play a key role in the mission can plant their own battle flag in front of the deck.
If it were someone else, they would still be jealous, but this is the eldest sister, and everyone is convinced.
But what exactly is it?
The young disciples were curious, so why weren’t they curious too?
If I were to write a sweet story about cultivation, I would write about the love life of a soft and sweet girl and a gentle senior brother. Oh, I want to read this kind of story. Please recommend.
