Chapter 2: Visiting the Supreme Being at Night and Encountering Injustice Changyun Peak is towering into the clouds, and there are many natural caves on the peak. Taishang Sect used these natural creations to build the sect. The sect starts at the third place, with a martial arts training platform, a reception hall, and a meditation room halfway up the mountain. Further up are the meeting hall, the internal affairs office, the library, the treasure pavilion and other sect buildings. It has to be said that Master Lieyang had a good eye when he chose the site to build the sect: the perennial clouds and mist add a bit of fairy air. Lingxiang scoffed at this: She has lived in such a place for years and she is not afraid of dampness entering her body. However, it is undeniable that Changyun Peak is indeed a good place to establish a sect. Although being located at a high peak is inconvenient for ordinary people, it is twice as effective with half the effort when practicing. Once you reach the Qi Refining stage, this harsh condition is actually a help. Moreover, there is abundant spiritual energy between the peaks, which is also very beneficial for practicing mental methods. But this is also where the trouble lies. Such abundant spiritual energy means that there is more than one spiritual vein on this peak, and the spiritual energy is surrounding it, making it difficult to find any trace. It is not easy to find the location of the building. It happened that the Tai Shang Sect had some new inner sect disciples, and Ling Xiang watched them practice martial arts every day with great interest.
She certainly didn't stay there for two days without any purpose. While strolling or chatting during the day, he figured out the general location of the sect, and as soon as night fell, he sneaked out quietly. I received news earlier that there is a Peiyuan Cave on the west peak of Taishang Sect. It is said that insects, snakes and small creatures gather there all year round. Places like this are most likely to be spiritual veins. Snakes, ants, rats and insects either like to gather in the shade of mountains, or linger in places with abundant spiritual energy all year round. Lingxiang bypassed the guard and groped her way carefully. When she was still some distance away from Peiyuan Cave, she could faintly hear a hissing sound, which showed that a lot of reptiles had gathered there. Although I sprinkled anthelmintic powder on my body beforehand, it might not be feasible to do so much. Moreover, although this thing that stores spiritual energy does not have much spiritual power, it has the ability to absorb human essence and distinguish spiritual power. Lingxiang made a hand gesture with her left hand to conceal her breath, then with her right hand she took out a calming talisman from her Qiankun bag and applied it to her body. Not long into the climb, the hissing sound became clearer, and one could also feel the flow of spiritual energy being richer than usual. After walking a few quick steps, I heard heavy footsteps, as if someone was arguing, or doing some heavy work. Lingxiang quickly found a big rock to cover herself, opened her eyes and ears, and observed carefully. "It's not a good idea for us to do this. If there is one person missing in the sect, it will always be discovered. What if someone finds out?" A childish voice whispered. "What are you afraid of? I've already inquired about it. There are a lot of poisonous creatures here. By the time someone finds him, he will be unrecognizable. If it takes longer, he might just be a pile of bones!" This is another person, who sounds about 18 or 19 years old. "But this is a human life after all. If we do this, aren't we killing someone?" "So what if we killed someone?! Do you want those people in the sect to know what we did?!" The older man suddenly said harshly: "If that's the case, given my family's status and identity, it may not be a big deal, but you? Humph..." The younger ones were probably frightened by the sneer, and hesitated for a while before answering: "Well... okay..." Then Lingxiang heard a sound as if something heavy had fallen to the ground. "Now pretend you're up at night and go back to sleep!" said a louder voice. "Get up...get up at night?...Okay...Okay..." After the footsteps of the two people gradually disappeared, Lingxiang walked out from behind the big rock.
It seemed that someone was killed just now, so what was thrown away must be a corpse. Lingxiang walked along the way, sprinkling the medicinal powder made from the beads under the leaves of the snake-seeing plant. Soon, she saw something that seemed to be entangled by several long snakes, which looked strange and unusual under the moonlight. When I got closer, I saw that it was indeed a person. This person was wearing the inner sect Taoist robe of the Tai Shang Sect, with sword-like eyebrows, straight nose and thin lips, and was very good-looking. However, his limbs and body were all entangled by long snakes, and there was even a long worm sucking his flesh, and the rise and fall of his chest and abdomen proved that this person was still alive. Lingxiang hurriedly used medicinal powder to drive away the poison, only to see that the man's neck was abnormally black and purple, and the poison's tooth holes were clearly visible, as were other exposed skin areas. She hurriedly felt the man's pulse. The cause of his drowsiness was due to some inferior drugs, but the snake venom had entered his body. If she had discovered it later, he might have died. Then she took out silver needles from her Qiankun bag and fixed the major meridians around his body to prevent the poison from penetrating deeper into his body, and then fed him anti-poison pills. But this poison cannot be eliminated immediately. Different snake venoms have different treatments. Even if you are poisoned by the same type of venom, different people will have different symptoms and the treatments will also be different. Besides, it would be best to suck out some of the poison first. Forget it, as the Zen Buddhism says, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Since you are so beautiful, I will sacrifice myself! To prevent being discovered, Lingxiang secretly took the disciple to her room and found some leeches to suck out the poison. She only removed the silver needle when the poisonous blood had been almost sucked out. After about two hours, the man began to have a fever and blisters formed around the wound, which were signs of the snake venom. …… An inner disciple of the Tai Shang Sect has disappeared recently. It is said that the disciple has good qualifications, but he has not shown up for report for three consecutive days. This has panicked several elders who wanted to accept him as a true disciple. Taoist Xunfeng was also very anxious. Not to mention the elders and peak masters who kept urging him, he was also very satisfied with this disciple: he was already at the second level of Qi training at such a young age, and his comprehension was very high. When he accepted him as a disciple, the headmaster was also very optimistic about him. Now the headmaster is not here and has disappeared without any trace. I have the highest cultivation level in the entire sect, but I am only at the second level of the Golden Core Realm, and I am not good at deducing the whole situation. Just when Master Xunfeng didn't know what to do, a little boy came to report: Lingxiang from Youran Residence in Guyang City wants to see you for something. To be honest, even if it was a top-quality marrow cleansing pill, he had no intention of dealing with it right now. But since the person had come to his door, it would be bad to turn him away, so he could just find a random excuse to get rid of him first. As soon as Lingxiang finished her greetings, Taoist Xunfeng wanted to send her away on the grounds that she was not feeling well. But Lingxiang sat down. Physical inconvenience? He was just trying to comfort a child! As the head of a sect, with a golden elixir level of cultivation, he was immune to all diseases, so how could he be inconvenienced? "Master, are you confused because of the many affairs in the sect? I am also a cultivator. With your cultivation, you can cure all diseases and evils without any taboos. Why do you say it is inconvenient?" Taoist Xunfeng was shocked and thought: Oh no, I forgot that this little kid also entered the Taoist sect. Before Xunfeng Zhenren could speak, Lingxiang directly stated her purpose: "I know what is troubling you, Zhenren, and I have come to relieve your worries." This made Taoist Xunfeng feel very interesting. Seeing this girl in her twenties, he heard that she had the strength to build a foundation when she was just thriving, but she was still only building a foundation. How could he relieve his worries? After all, she was still a child, lacking in experience, and didn't know the seriousness of the matter. Lingxiang seemed to see through Taoist Xunfeng's thoughts, but she was not annoyed: "It's just cultivation. If the opportunity hasn't come yet, who can do anything?" "Hahahaha, baby, you are quite open-minded. So how do you plan to help me solve my problems?" "I heard that your clan was embarrassed?" Lingxiang's words were a double entendre. They not only made her intention clear, but also relieved her anger at being looked down upon.
When Taoist Xunfeng heard this, he felt a little embarrassed: This kid is really straightforward, but what she said is also true. It is not right to be angry, nor is it right to not be angry. It is really aggrieved. "In today's world, spiritual roots are scarce, especially for those who have entered the Dao, and even more so for those with superior aptitude. Isn't it a big deal that your sect has lost such a person?" "This...how did you know? Could it be you..." Taoist Xunfeng said seriously. "I saved an inner sect disciple of your sect by chance. I guess he must be the reason for your physical discomfort?" Lingxiang fiddled with the tassel of the Qiankun bag. "But he is injured and can't move. If you want to know if it is this person, you can only come with me to the wing room to take a look." Actually I wanted to write "inhale Jing Qi" but the system blocked it. (End of this chapter)
