The night passes and the morning comes.
Chu Qi fell asleep while lying down last night. When he woke up, he found that the seat next to him was empty.
Yan Jiuge had already gotten up and was now meditating on the cushion.
The sunlight came through the window and fell on Yan Jiuge's tall and straight back, casting a layer of soft light on him and making his temperament a little gentler.
As if he heard Chu Qi's movement, the young man who was practicing with his eyes closed opened his eyes and looked in his direction.
Those deep eyes were dotted with light, and for a moment they seemed gentle.
Chu Qi was stunned, and subconsciously said to him, "Good morning."
"Morning." Yan Jiuge replied, ending his practice and getting up from the mat. "The breakfast is warming up on the table. Senior Brother Liu came over just now and brought some storybooks."
"I got up late." Chu Qi was a little annoyed.
It's not that Chu Qi got up late. Liu Weiming, as a late Jindan cultivator, didn't need sleep. Neither did Yan Jiuge, who was in the fake Qi Refining stage.
Compared with those who practice Taoism all night long, Chu Qi is naturally inferior.
After Chu Qi finished his breakfast, he noticed a pile of books on the table, probably the storybooks sent by Senior Brother Liu.
Looking closely, I saw that the cover of the top book read "The Growth Path of the Number One Swordsman in Yunhua Realm".
Chu Qi: “…”
This was indeed the storybook he loved to read when he was a child, but who would have thought that his talent now had changed from swordsmanship to medical skills.
Putting "The Growth Path of the First Swordsman" aside for the moment, the second book is "The Medical Practitioner Can't Save, Taoist Friends, So Take Care of It Yourself."
"?"
What kind of disease can't even be cured by medical practitioners? Chu Qi curiously opened the first page and read it with relish.
At the side, Yan Jiuge noticed his hobby and scanned the storybook with his spiritual sense. To him, the storybook didn't have anything particularly attractive, but some of the words in it were good.
for example-
[Doctors are like parents, but there are also unfilial children in the world, so don’t get angry. ]
[Respect the fate of others. Studying medicine cannot save those who are seeking their own death. ]
[If you encounter someone who is seriously injured and still wants to go out to train and hunt for treasure, stay away from him, or you will have to collect his body if you get too close.]
Chu Qi originally wanted to pursue a medical career, so it would be good for him to take a look at these.
Yan Jiuge thinks so.
So for two days, Chu Qi read while Yan Jiuge practiced beside him.
During the journey, Yun Jiangmiao's pet ran to the door several times and tried to sneak in, but Yan Jiuge discovered it in time and threw it back to Yun Jiangmiao.
Yun Jiangmiao was very sorry about this.
But Le Changyin, a senior sister of the Beast Taming Sect, said that this was because Chu Qi had an innate wood spirit root, and his affinity was extraordinary, so all spirit pets liked to get close to him. Especially the intuitive spirit pets like the White Cloud Beast, which could easily distinguish between good and evil.
Yan Jiuge lowered his eyes, thinking in his heart.
It seems that not only the tranquilizing jade is needed, but also the restrictions to isolate the aura.
This dull life with little episodes lasted for three days. Liu Weiming received a message from the elders of Tianxuan Sect, saying that he was about to set off for Tianxuan Sect.
In this immortal sect selection, the Tianxuan Sect only recruited six disciples, which was half less than what Chu Qi remembered from his previous life.
Elder Ming sighed, "We can only recruit so many this year. The rest have been snatched away by the other four major sects. Let's go back to the sect first."
There was no other reason, because Tianxuan Sect had snatched two proud disciples at the beginning. After that, the disciples who walked through the bluestone stairs were valued by other immortal sects, and each one was more eager to snatch them. After Chu Qi, the others did not have much "yearning" for sword cultivation and were unwilling to come to Tianxuan Sect to suffer.
Seeing that time was passing, Elder Ming of Tianxuan Sect, who could not compete with other immortal sects, planned to return to the sect first.
Anyway, they have gained two talented people this time. No matter what, their Tianxuan Sect has not lost out.
Elder Ming made a spell, and the small iron boat on his palm turned into a huge spiritual ship. The lower half of the spiritual ship was the hull, but the upper half also had pavilions and buildings, and the defensive barrier lingered around it, looking majestic.
After all the disciples of Tianxuan Sect had boarded, the spirit ship spread its twelve pairs of black iron wings, flapping them to roll up the flowing clouds, and sailed towards the direction of Tianxuan Sect.
**
Tianxuan Sect is located in the north of Yunhua Realm and is surrounded by mountains.
As far as the eye can see, the first thing you see is the lush greenery and the overlapping mountains, which are far and near, blue and dark blue, and full of natural beauty. Then you can see the five main peaks echoing each other, the mountain gate is simple and majestic, and a stone staircase leads to the distant mountain top. It is like seeking immortality and asking for the way, but the Taoist priests are always blocking the way. I hope that all my disciples can follow this path and see the end.
The spirit ship landed in front of the mountain gate of Tianxuan Sect.
Chu Qi followed Yan Jiuge and walked down the spirit ship with everyone else.
Elder Ming and Liu Weiming walked in front, and the other Tianxuan Sect disciples who were going to the immortal sect selection consciously protected the new disciples on both sides. Although they were returning to the sect and not going out for training, the Tianxuan Sect's style was like this, and it had long been a common thing for the disciples.
After getting off the boat, Elder Ming put away the spirit boat.
Seeing the spirit ship returning from afar, the disciples guarding the mountain gate had been waiting for a long time. They were wearing the uniforms of Tianxuan Sect disciples, and when they saw Elder Ming, they all bowed and saluted.
"Disciple greets Elder Ming."
"No need to be polite." Elder Ming's expression softened a bit. "I brought back six new disciples this time. They have not yet been included in the sect's roster and do not have identity tokens. Please bring out six jade pass tokens."
Tianxuan Sect has a mountain protection formation, and some main peaks have additional barriers. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Only those with identity tokens and pass jade talismans can avoid being attacked by formations and barriers. The pass jade talisman is disposable, and it is also convenient for guests visiting Tianxuan Sect to enter.
What should they do? The number of people coming to Tianxuan Sect to learn swordsmanship is decreasing. In a few decades, won’t their Tianxuan Sect be reduced to a state where no one cares about them
When the gatekeeper handed the six jade talismans to Elder Ming, he was feeling sad and worried. Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he saw his elder smiling.
Gatekeeper: “…”
Something seems to be wrong? The elders are always distressed when the number of new disciples they recruit is less than 20.
Elder Ming lost his stern look and spoke to the new disciples in a gentle voice, "This is the jade token of passage. After tomorrow's initiation ceremony, your names will be registered and you will have a formal identity token."
"Right now, the sword cultivator is being led by Wei Ming to the Creation Peak. Little Chu Qi will be with me. I will take you to the Zhongling Peak."
"???"
What did they hear
— Zhong Lingfeng?!
—Is it the Zhongling Peak where the medical practitioners of their Tianxuan Sect are located
The disciples guarding the mountain gate were all sword practitioners. When they heard the three words "Zhong Lingfeng", they all showed shocked looks.
There is actually a medical practitioner among the new disciples? !
This is so rare, it is a once-in-a-century spectacle!
Everyone looked towards Elder Ming's side.
I saw a child about ten years old standing there obediently, with clear and clean eyes, not looking around, and a delicate and gentle appearance. At this moment, he was turning his head to talk in a low voice with the young man in black beside him.
Everyone in the group was a cultivator who had reached the golden elixir stage, and they could hear even the lowest voices clearly.
"Then I will go to Zhongling Peak with Elder Ming first, and then I will come to find you after the initiation ceremony tomorrow."
The voice was soft and gentle. It was something that had never been heard of or seen before. This, this, this... Was this really the junior brother who had joined their Tianxuan Sect and was studying medicine
"I know. You better be careful." The young man in black replied in a cold voice.
The contrast between the two made everyone come back to their senses - it turns out that they really have a medical junior brother! And his personality is so obedient!
However, before the sword cultivators could even take a few glances at him, the medical practitioner who had just appeared was taken to Zhongling Peak by Elder Ming.
A small boat sailed away and sank into the top of a high mountain.
Liu Weiming immediately took the remaining five sword-cultivating fellow disciples to Creation Peak.
The Tianxuan Sect disciples who were left behind at the mountain gate were reminiscing about the experience. After their inner waves calmed down, they picked up the identity tokens hanging around their waists and sent a number of messages to their fellow disciples and friends to express their feelings just now.
Such a big thing must not be kept to yourself!
*
Chu Qi sat in a small boat, following Elder Ming's side and headed towards Zhongling Peak.
There are five main peaks in Tianxuan Sect, namely: Zizai Peak, Zaohua Peak, Wenjian Peak, Yuxiu Peak and Zhongling Peak.
Zhongling Peak is located behind the four main peaks, deep in the spiritual vein of Tianxuan Sect.
In his previous life, Chu Qi had only been to the first four main peaks, because he himself did not have any serious injuries or illnesses, so he did not need to see a doctor.
In addition, there is a restriction on Zhongling Peak, and even disciples of Tianxuan Sect and outsiders are not allowed to enter.
"Before I came here, I have sent a message to Elder Qingyue. When we arrive at Zhongling Peak, his eldest disciple will take care of your food and daily life. Zhongling Peak is different from other main peaks because it is planted with precious spiritual herbs and plants, and there are no disciples to do odd jobs like sweeping the ground. If you have any problems, either go to Elder Qingyue and his eldest disciple, or send a message to me. This is the message talisman."
All disciples of Tianxuan Sect use identity cards to communicate. Chu Qi doesn’t have one yet, so he can only use communication talismans.
"Thank you, Elder Ming. I will remember this." Chu Qi took the communication talisman.
"You are Welcome."
During the conversation, Zhong Lingfeng arrived.
A figure was standing at the foot of the mountain waiting. Unlike the black and white clothes of the Tianxuan Sect's sword cultivators, the man was wearing a dark green short-sleeved shirt with hundreds of grass and spiritual flowers embroidered on the cuffs. The inner garment was white, with a belt wrapped around the wrists, tightening the cuffs, neat and tidy. The belt was woven with dark brown grass vines, with the Tianxuan Sect emblem in the center. The outermost layer was a white gauze coat, which looked like gold in the sunlight, and looked gentle and elegant.
Of course, these are not what surprised Chu Qi the most—
The eldest disciple under Elder Qingyue is actually a senior sister! !
"Disciple greets Elder Ming." A clear female voice sounded, and the ponytailed woman smiled at Chu Qi, "This must be my junior fellow apprentice from Zhong Lingfeng, right? Nice to meet you. I'm your senior sister, my name is Bai Xuan."
"Hello, Senior Sister Bai Xuan." Chu Qi responded and introduced himself briefly, "My name is Chu Qi."
"Then I'll ask you to take good care of little Chuqi. I have to go back to Zizai Peak to report the follow-up matters to the headmaster, as well as prepare for tomorrow's initiation ceremony." Elder Ming was very busy.
"Disciple will definitely live up to the elder's expectations." Bai Xuan agreed.
Then, Elder Ming took out the magic sword from his waist. His aura suddenly changed, and he flew away on the sword with the wind.
In a moment, he disappeared from sight, swiftly and decisively, without any of the leisurely manner he had shown when he brought Chu Qi over just now.
"Hey, Junior Brother, you wanted to be a sword cultivator, right?" Seeing Chu Qi looking at Elder Ming in the distance with a look of amazement in his eyes, Bai Xuan couldn't help but sigh, "Only sword cultivators can fly with swords. If we want to go up the mountain, we have to use flying spirit tools or ride on spirit phoenixes."
As soon as she finished speaking, a long cry of a phoenix was heard from the sky.
Then, a white phoenix with its long tail feathers circled down, its white wings spotless, and landed gracefully at Bai Xuan's feet.
"Come, Senior Sister will take you to Zhongling Peak."
"I am so shocked. You know, we haven't had any new disciples in Zhongling Peak for a hundred years. Oh, that time a hundred years ago was when I came to Zhongling Peak."
"Really? Senior Sister Bai Xuan, how many disciples do we have in Zhongling Peak?" Chu Qi was curious.
"Two, you are one, and I am another." Bai Xuan said faintly, "Including our master, Elder Qingyue, there are actually three medical practitioners on the mountain!"
While the two were talking, the huge white phoenix spread its wings again and carried the two of them slowly towards the summit of Zhongling Peak.
A gentle breeze blew across his face, leaving Chu Qi bewildered—three medical practitioners
