197: Section 197

“How is it that this evil Cultivator is even worse than Mao Fang?”

Seeing this evil Cultivator so easily defeated, Yue Long City was filled with pride, then he came before Mao Fang.

“Mao Fang, now, what do you have to say?”

“Why don’t you hand over my Master’s Primordial Spirit quickly!”

Chapter 162: Rejoining Shu Mountain, Personal Disciple of the Headmaster

Mao Fang’s eyes were filled with hatred, and he could only force the Fire Dragon Zhenren’s Primordial Spirit out of the Poison Dragon Sword.

The Fire Dragon Zhenren’s Primordial Spirit was a brilliant, glowing little person. After Cultivating into a C-fire Primordial Spirit, the Primordial Spirit belonged to the extreme yang, utterly rigid and fierce, like a blazing sun in the sky.

As for this Poison Dragon Sword, he had spent many years gathering the Materials for it.

Therefore, it absolutely could not be handed over.

Yue Long City then walked over and took his Master’s Primordial Spirit, preparing to find a family for him to be reborn into.

Seeing that they couldn't gain any advantage, Mao Fang and the other two also conjured a gust of dark wind and ghostly mist and departed.

Now that the matter of Yue Family Village was over, Bai Ningshuang spoke to you.

“Su Gege, when can you come back?”

“True Person True Person Yichen misses you very much.”

Upon hearing this, you spoke.

“I plan to go home and take a look. As for Shu Mountain, I don’t know if I should go back.”

“After all, I voluntarily acknowledged Baiyang Real Person as my Master back then.”

Upon hearing your words, Zhang Cangfeng began to persuade you.

“You were young at the time, unable to distinguish right from wrong.”

“That Baiyang Real Person used that to deceive and abduct you.”

“The Headmaster already said before that if you were found, no matter if you had learned Cultivation Techniques from other sects, you could rejoin Shu Mountain.”

“From this, you can see the Headmaster’s Pay attention to for you.”

You felt a little moved upon hearing this.

“Really?”

“Naturally, it’s true.”

Zhang Cangfeng affirmed.

“I also intend to return to Yuhua Prefecture on this trip down the mountain.”

“Next, let Senior Sister Bai take you.”

Although you felt uneasy, you nodded.

“Hmm… that’s fine too.”

“It’s decided then.”

After Zhang Cangfeng finished speaking, he flew westward on his Flying Sword alone.

Bai Ningshuang was very happy, because this way she would have a lot of time alone with you.

After bidding farewell to Yue Long City, you and Bai Ningshuang also flew towards Tianzhu Mountain on your Flying Swords.

Along the way, Bai Ningshuang chattered incessantly, recounting her experiences over the years to you.

She also said that she had now learned the “Essentials of True Pills” and could refine all the Medicinal Pills inside.

For example, Foundation Spirit Pill, Yellow Court Pill, Yellow Sprout Pill, Qi Regulation Pill, Five Directions Healing Pill, Origin Returning Powder, Dragon's Blood Powder, Ten Thousand Spirits Powder, and the like.

She also said that Zhang Cangfeng had a marriage engagement with the princess of Yuhua Prefecture, but his heart was set on the Dao. If his father hadn’t personally gone to Shu Mountain, he wouldn’t have returned at all.

And this trip home was for the wedding.

You only felt a headache from Bai Ningshuang’s incessant chattering.

When camping overnight, you wouldn't even sit close to her while Cultivating on a tree branch.

Bai Ningshuang also noticed your attitude, but she wasn’t discouraged, because she knew that you were like this with all women, so there was nothing to be sad about.

It was ten days later when you reached Tianzhu Mountain; your flying speed was already very fast, but Tianzhu Mountain was still too far away.

Your parents were now white-haired, and Bai Ningshuang took out two Yellow Court Pills that prolong life and strengthen the foundation, giving them to your parents to consume.

Their hair immediately turned from white to black.

Seeing such a well-behaved girl, your parents urged you to seize the opportunity and cherish Bai Ningshuang.

But you had always been oblivious to matters of the heart and didn't understand why you should cherish Bai Ningshuang.

After staying at home for a few days and visiting your three older sisters, you and Bai Ningshuang left Tianzhu Mountain.

The highest peak of Tianzhu Mountain, which was once unscalable in your childhood, could now be easily traversed.

You returned to Shu Mountain three days later.

Looking at the distant, majestic and continuous Shu Mountain range, you felt a little hesitant, like one who is close to home but afraid to approach, stopping in front and not daring to go forward.

Bai Ningshuang spoke when she saw this.

“Su Gege, come with me.”

“Everyone will be very happy to have you back.”

You nodded upon hearing this.

Then you followed behind Bai Ningshuang and flew forward.

Some passing Shu Mountain Disciples recognized Bai Ningshuang but not you, and couldn't help but wonder which Cultivator you were from.

When Bai Ningshuang brought you to Qiankun Hall, you realized that the Elders of Shu Mountain had already gathered there.

Seeing this, Bai Ningshuang felt a bit apologetic.

“Su Gege, I’m sorry, I told the Elders in advance that you were coming.”

“It’s fine.”

The last time you encountered such a scene was thirteen years ago, and you felt even more nervous.

You followed Bai Ningshuang into the main hall.

Everyone looked at you in unison, and it would be a lie to say you weren't nervous.

At this moment, a thin Daoist priest quickly walked forward and scrutinized you carefully.

Although it had been more than ten years since you last met, you recognized the person in front of you at a glance as True Person True Person Yichen, who had brought you to Shu Mountain.

You instinctively knelt down.

“True Person True Person Yichen.”

True Person Yichen immediately helped you up.

“Good child, it’s good that you’re back.”

“Come, follow me to see the Headmaster.”

As he spoke, True Person Yichen took your hand and led you before everyone.

The Shu Mountain Sect Leader spoke when he saw this.

“Su Mo, since you have returned, I now formally announce that you have passed the examination in the miscellaneous courtyard.”

“Now, are you willing to become a Disciple of Shu Mountain?”

Upon hearing this, you fell into a dilemma, because you had already acknowledged Baiyang Real Person as your Master.

If you were to become a Disciple of Shu Mountain now, where would that leave Baiyang Real Person?

Seeing the conflicted expression on your face, the Shu Mountain Sect Leader and True Person True Person Yichen both understood your concerns.

Therefore, they didn't rush you, only waiting for you to figure it out yourself.

And just as you continued to hesitate, a voice transmission entered your ear.

“Good Disciple, it wasn’t in vain that my second Primordial Spirit diligently nurtured you all these years.”

“Don’t worry about me; just become a Disciple of Shu Mountain if you want to.”

That was Baiyang Real Person’s voice.

Upon hearing this, your heart felt warm. You hadn’t expected this old man to not abandon you, but to have been silently protecting you all along.

However, since he didn't care, you no longer hesitated and directly knelt on the ground.

“Disciple Su Mo, I am willing to join Shu Mountain!”

Seeing that you were willing to join Shu Mountain, everyone was in a good mood.

And True Person Yichen looked at his Senior Brother.

“Senior Brother Yisheng, I am no longer suitable to take Disciples. Why don’t you take Su Mo instead?”

“Haven’t you always been lacking a Personal Disciple?”

When the people around heard this, they were greatly surprised.

Everyone clearly understood what being the Headmaster’s Personal Disciple meant.

That was the next Headmaster, set in stone.

When you heard that True Person Yichen didn't want to take you and wanted his Headmaster Senior Brother to accept you, you immediately understood his painstaking efforts.

But you had no interest in the Shu Mountain Sect Leader. In your opinion, all the Shu Mountain Sect Leader had to do all day was manage people, which was not as free as a Loose Immortal.

And the Shu Mountain Sect Leader, Immortal Master Yisheng, hesitated for a moment before agreeing, realizing that he might never encounter such a promising talent as you again.

“Good.”

“In that case, I will take him.”

After speaking, Immortal Master Yisheng looked at you.

“Su Mo, are you willing to take me as your Master?”

You no longer hesitated upon hearing this.

“I am willing!”

“Master, please accept your Disciple’s bow.”

After speaking, you immediately knelt down and performed the three kowtows and nine prostrations.

Immortal Master Yisheng was also in a great mood upon seeing this.

After all, which previous Headmaster had ever taken a Disciple with Aptitude like yours?

In his joy, the Shu Mountain Sect Leader, Immortal Master Yisheng, waved his hand, and seven Flying Swords emitting white light instantly appeared in the air above his hand.

The seven Flying Swords were uniform in length, four feet long and three inches wide. At first glance, they radiated brilliance, but upon closer inspection, they contained a subtle inner glow, becoming deeper the more one looked.

“Disciple, these seven swords are the Taiyi Golden Essence Sword that Baiyang Real Person lost to Shu Mountain five hundred years ago.”

“I imagine Baiyang Real Person has mentioned this to you over the years.”

“Now I bestow them upon you for self-defense.”

After speaking, the seven Taiyi Golden Essence Swords floated before you.

Seeing this scene, everyone gasped collectively.

The reason was none other than the immense preciousness of these seven Taiyi Golden Essence Swords; the Materials for one Taiyi Golden Essence Sword could create dozens of top-grade Flying Swords.

Even some ancient relics weren't squandered like this.

It was no wonder everyone gasped.

You also offered a thousand thanks upon seeing this.

“Thank you, Master!”

After bowing, you looked at True Person Yichen, who was standing nearby.
