“Elder Mo’s words are strange. Why can’t she tell me these things?” Qin Chu looked at Mo Daozi with some confusion. He thought this was normal. After interacting for so many days, shouldn’t they communicate? That would be abnormal.
Mo Daozi didn’t know how to answer Qin Chu’s words. Should he say that Qin Chu and Qian Lingwu’s levels were too different, and Qian Lingwu shouldn’t have told Qin Chu these things?
“What needed to be said, I’ve said. As for what the Sect does, let the Grand Elder and Sect Master discuss it!” Qin Chu said to the silent Mo Daozi. He didn’t participate in some matters. He had completed his task by informing the Sect of what he knew; the rest had nothing to do with him.
“I know about these matters. How has your Cultivation been recently? Have you encountered any difficulties?” Mo Daozi asked Qin Chu.
Qin Chu shook his head. Everything was going smoothly for him now. Next, he just needed to Cultivate his Origin Qi while also Cultivating the Thousand Waves Sword Art.
“You’re not going to the Library Pavilion now, nor are you exchanging resources. Are you bewildered by a woman, or do you think you’re capable enough?” Mo Daozi said, looking at Qin Chu.
“Why would Elder Mo think that? I’ve already exchanged quite a lot of Cultivation resources. As for not going to the Library Pavilion, it’s because I currently have a sword art that I need to familiarize myself with and Cultivate.” Qin Chu felt that Mo Daozi’s attitude was very strange. He had been Cultivating very diligently, so why did he think he was capable enough?
Mo Daozi glared at Qin Chu, then turned and left. He knew that Qin Chu’s Cultivation was very smooth and diligent, reaching the ninth level of the True Essence Realm in a short time, which no Disciple had ever achieved before. But he just wanted to scold Qin Chu a bit.
Ignoring the Sect’s arrangements, Qin Chu began his Cultivation. Suddenly going from two people to one, he was a bit unaccustomed to it.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Chu went to the Merit Hall of Green Bamboo Peak, took on some high-level tasks, and then went to the Merit Hall of the Main Peak.
Seeing Qin Chu arrive, the Disciples in the Main Peak’s Merit Hall made way for him. The female Disciples looked at Qin Chu with admiration.
What about being a Utility Disciple? Inner Sect Disciples couldn’t defeat him, nor could Core Disciples. Qin Chu could be said to be one of the top Disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect. He couldn’t be called the strongest, as there were still a few strong Core Disciples who hadn’t encountered Qin Chu yet.
Furthermore, during this period, the challenges at the Main Peak’s Martial Arts Arena had stopped. Luo Zhen had issued a notice because of Qian Lingwu’s arrival, Qin Chu was inconvenient to come out, and the challenges could not proceed.
Under the gaze of a group of Main Peak Disciples, Qin Chu accepted the tasks, then left the Main Peak’s Merit Hall.
“How does it feel?” Enforcement Elder Yu asked the Main Peak Disciples who were still somewhat dazed in the Merit Hall.
“Enforcement Elder, his Cultivation is at the ninth level of the True Essence Realm now. This Cultivation speed is too terrifying, plus his combat power far exceeds his Cultivation… This feeling of powerlessness is too strong.” An Inner Sect Disciple said. He was at the Late Stage of the third-tier True Essence Realm, just able to see Qin Chu’s ninth-level True Essence Realm Cultivation.
“You saw his Cultivation increase, but you didn’t see his effort. As far as this Enforcement Elder knows, he usually stays at the Broken Cliff of Green Bamboo Peak and doesn’t come out, constantly working hard to Cultivate. Everyone also knows that there are no shortcuts on the Dao of Cultivation. Behind the improvement of Cultivation is a great deal of effort. You are also not bad; if you adjust your mindset, you can also do it.” Enforcement Elder Yu said.
Qin Chu left the Azure Cloud Sect and entered the Misty Cloud Mountain area, beginning his journey of tasks, which was actually also a journey of practical combat for the Thousand Waves Sword.
Mo Daozi left Green Bamboo Peak and gathered Luo Zhen, Lu Yuan, and the Peak Masters of the five peaks in his pavilion, sharing some of the information Qin Chu had obtained.
“Grand Elder Mo, the three Sects are involved with outside forces? Is this news reliable?” Peak Master Lei Yin of Thousand Luo Peak asked.
“It should not be false. Someone as arrogant as Qian Lingwu would certainly disdain to lie, at least not to Qin Chu. Also, this Elder has once traveled outside the Southern Flame Continent and knows that there is indeed a Wolf King Hall outside the Southern Flame Continent. It’s hard to determine if the Wolf King Hall of the Southern Flame Continent and the outside Wolf King Hall are one entity, but it’s very likely. The Qian Dynasty would not make groundless accusations.” Mo Daozi said. He believed the news Qin Chu had shared.
“If the three Sects are involved with outside forces and want to overturn the current stability of our Southern Flame Continent, then they should be dealt with.” Lu Yuan said.
“Our Azure Cloud Sect has Heaven Origin Medicinal Pill supplies; what we need is time. During this period, let’s not concern ourselves with the fluctuations outside. Let them fight if they want to! When the storm passes, our Azure Cloud Sect’s strength will also have risen.” Luo Zhen stated his opinion.
“The Sect Master is very right. We will follow the Sect Master’s opinion. The Qian Dynasty is our opponent, but comparatively, we absolutely cannot stand with the three major Sects who harbor ill intentions.” Mo Daozi strongly agreed with Luo Zhen’s opinion.
“Senior Brother, are we, the Azure Cloud Sect, still participating in the competition for the younger generation of the four major Sects? It seems meaningless now!” Ling Yunzi said.
“Lu Yuan asked Qin Chu, and his intention is to participate. If we win, and the three major Sects still have ideas about Heavenly Fragrance Valley, then they would have to go back on their word, thus losing credibility. It’s estimated that not many people would even attend their Disciple recruitment ceremony.” Lu Yuan said to Ling Yunzi. He had inquired with Qin Chu last time and knew that Qin Chu still wanted to participate.
“Let’s discuss this matter later. If push comes to shove, I will take Qin Chu there. It’s best if we win, but it doesn’t matter if we don’t.” Mo Daozi said.
Entering the Misty Cloud Mountain area, Qin Chu began to fight with Yao Beasts. Now he was bolder; with his third-tier True Essence Realm ninth-level Cultivation, hunting fourth-tier Yao Beasts was not difficult at all. As long as he didn’t encounter fifth-tier Yao Beasts, he faced no danger.
Familiarizing himself with the Thousand Waves Sword in real combat was a great benefit to Qin Chu. A sword art tempered by slaughter is a true sword art.
While collecting Yao Beast crystal cores, Qin Chu also gathered medicinal herbs. He recognized various medicinal herbs, and he wouldn’t give up any valuable ones.
Half a month later, Qin Chu emerged from Misty Cloud Mountain. Besides the quest items, he also had great gains.
After turning in his tasks, Qin Chu went to the Library Pavilion. At this time, Ling Yunzi and two on-duty Disciples were guarding the Library Pavilion.
The on-duty Disciples were Core Disciples, but they were very polite to Qin Chu, because Qin Chu surpassed them in both strength and status.
“Young man, do you need ancient texts?” Ling Yunzi asked.
“This Disciple has some knowledge of medicinal herbs. When I went out on tasks, I collected valuable medicinal herbs whenever I encountered them. So, I want to find some Alchemy books to see if I can transform those medicinal herbs into Medicinal Pills.” Qin Chu explained his purpose.
“You want to study Alchemy… then I recommend you go find Elder Tang of the Medicinal Pill Hall. He is our Azure Cloud Sect’s chief Alchemy Great Master, but can you, young man, do it?” Ling Yunzi looked at Qin Chu with suspicion, because Alchemy also requires talent.
