8: Junior sister comes to visit
“Bang~ Bang~ Bang~”
“Crack~”
“Li Daoxuan, get out here, I know you’re inside!”
Hmm?
Li Daoxuan paused, listening to the familiar voice. He remembered now.
“This… isn’t this my former Junior Sister!”
“Why is she here?”
Li Daoxuan didn’t hesitate any longer; otherwise, this girl would definitely dare to tear down his Immortal Cave.
“Junior Sister Qing Xuan, why are you here?”
“Bastard! Where am I small?!”
“Also! You should call me Senior Sister!”
As soon as Li Daoxuan stepped out, his eyes lit up. At the entrance of the Immortal Cave stood a girl, like an elf, with her hands on her hips, looking very angry.
The girl’s name was Qing Xuan, and she had briefly stayed in the Heavenly Dao Sect’s outer Sect for a period of time.
When Li Daoxuan first met Qing Xuan, she was a little loli, and very innocent. She often relied on Li Daoxuan’s care when going out for training.
Otherwise, her life would have been gone long ago!
It hadn’t been long since they last met, yet the girl’s demeanor had changed significantly.
She had a pair of pure big eyes, a delicate figure, exquisite facial features, and especially her three thousand purple strands of hair, meticulously draped behind her, full of Spiritual Qi like a spirit from the mountains.
She also loved to smile, and whenever she smiled, a pair of cute dimples would appear.
Unlike Li Daoxuan, the girl was an absolute Genius, a favored child of Heaven.
It was said that her identity was still very mysterious.
As soon as Li Daoxuan saw Qing Xuan, all his unhappiness vanished. He smiled and said, “Ju… Junior Senior Sister, who made you angry?”
Qing Xuan put one hand on her hip, and with her other small hand, she reached out to twist Li Daoxuan’s ear.
She said angrily, “It’s all because of you, big bastard!”
“Where have you been for the past year?”
“I searched all over the outer Sect and couldn’t find any news of you!”
“I even thought you were eaten by a Yao Beast when you went out!”
“Hmph!”
Her fiercely adorable expression was truly charming. Li Daoxuan couldn’t help but reach out his wicked little hand and rub the little girl’s head.
Instantly, her three thousand purple strands of hair were ruffled by Li Daoxuan, just as intimately as before.
“Ah! I’m going to beat you to death! You’re bullying my cute hair again!”
“Hahaha…” Li Daoxuan laughed unkindly.
Li Daoxuan invited Qing Xuan into his Immortal Cave and said helplessly, “There’s nothing much here to entertain you with, just make yourself at home!”
Qing Xuan didn’t stand on ceremony, and the two began to chat about their recent experiences.
Li Daoxuan asked curiously, “Qing Xuan, why are you looking for me?”
“Hmph! Here, for you.”
Li Daoxuan took it and was stunned, but his heart was filled with emotion.
The Storage Pouch was filled with Jade Bottles. Good heavens, Cultivation Technique Jade Slips, Gathering Qi Pills, Foundation Establishment Pills, Marrow Cleansing Pills… all were necessities for the Qi Refinement Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage.
Li Daoxuan was deeply moved, but he spoke teasingly, “Oh my! I didn’t realize you were a rich young lady!”
Qing Xuan immediately jumped up, making a move to hit Li Daoxuan, but Li Daoxuan’s next words made her freeze.
“Qing Xuan, thank you!”
“Hmph!”
Li Daoxuan didn’t refuse these items; otherwise, the girl would definitely stomp her feet again.
Li Daoxuan deeply remembered this concern in his heart!
Li Daoxuan asked again, “I stayed in the outer Sect for three years before, why didn’t you ever come to find me? That’s not like your personality!”
Qing Xuan said exasperatedly, “Aiya! It’s all because of my hateful Revered Master, who insisted on forcing me into secluded Cultivation!”
“She even said I wasn’t allowed to come out until I reached the Golden Core Stage!”
Li Daoxuan said in disbelief, “You’re at the Golden Core Stage now?”
Qing Xuan said proudly, “I just went into secluded Cultivation for a bit, and occasionally Cultivated, and then I reached the Golden Core Stage, didn’t I?”
Li Daoxuan: “…”
Listen, is that a human thing to say?
Li Daoxuan was quite struck. This girl had only Cultivated for a few years, and she was already at the Golden Core Stage. It was obvious that her talent was incredibly high.
Li Daoxuan suddenly thought of something; he felt that his conjecture should be tested.
Li Daoxuan looked at Qing Xuan with fervent eyes, making the little girl feel a bit shy.
Qing Xuan said with a trembling voice, “You… what do you want to do? What kind of look is that? I’m telling you, don’t mess around, I’m a great Cultivator at the Golden Core Stage!”
“Sigh!” Li Daoxuan shook his head and gave up.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of the little girl beating him. Setting aside her mysterious identity, the most important thing was that his family was facing severe challenges, so it was better not to drag her into it.
Li Daoxuan changed the subject and said, “Oh right! Can you find a Revered Master after entering the Inner Sect?”
Qing Xuan asked strangely, “Don’t you know?”
“I don’t know.”
How would Li Daoxuan know? The key was that no one told him.
He used to be a Cultivation fanatic, and then, he had been away from the Sect for so long, so he only had a superficial understanding of Inner Sect matters.
Qing Xuan explained carefully, “Inner Sect Disciples have a Debate Assembly every year!”
“Those with excellent results or those favored by Inner Sect Elders will be accepted as Personal Disciples.”
“There’s also a chance to be favored by a Peak Revered Master and directly become a Peak Revered Master’s direct Disciple.”
This was the first time Li Daoxuan had heard such a secret. He asked curiously, “Are the Peak Revered Master’s direct Disciples very powerful?”
Qing Xuan rolled her eyes and said, “I’m telling you these things, but don’t go blabbing about them, understand?!”
“Mm-hmm!”
Qing Xuan’s voice became much softer as she leaned closer to Li Daoxuan and said, “You should know about Heavenly Dao Peak of the Heavenly Dao Sect, right?”
“Of course I know that!”
“Besides Heavenly Dao Peak, there are seven other peaks known to the world: Tian Shu Peak, Tian Xuan Peak, Tian Ji Peak, Tian Quan Peak, Yu Heng Peak, Kai Yang Peak, and Yao Guang Peak.”
“But what the world doesn’t know are two more peaks: Dong Ming Peak and Yin Yuan Peak.”
“Unless the Heavenly Dao Sect faces a disaster that threatens its existence, Dong Ming Peak and Yin Yuan Peak will not appear.”
“This is the secret of ‘Seven Manifested, Two Hidden’.”
Li Daoxuan looked at Qing Xuan in surprise and said, “How do you know such a secret matter?”
“Cough, cough, cough! Well… that… this…”
Li Daoxuan didn’t press further. Everyone has their own secrets, don’t they?
Li Daoxuan began to ponder seriously. Hearing these top secrets, he increasingly felt that this Heavenly Dao Sect was not simple.
Heavenly Dao Sect! To dare to be named after the Heavenly Dao, the Old Ancestor of the Heavenly Dao Sect must either be a madman or a fool, or the Heavenly Dao Sect hides an even greater secret.
Also, the Heavenly Dao Nine Peaks are not simple either, seemingly as mysterious as a world-shaking grand formation.
Li Daoxuan came back to his senses and asked again, “Have you already entered the Heavenly Dao Nine Peaks?”
Qing Xuan pouted her small lips and said proudly, “Of course! I am a Core Disciple of Tian Xuan Peak, the future Peak Revered Master of Tian Xuan Peak. Aren’t you envious?!”
“You just keep showing off!”
“Hehehe~ Oh, right, Senior Brother, I have something I want to ask of you. You must promise me.”
Li Daoxuan immediately became wary. When this girl asked for something, it was never for a good reason.
“You speak first!”
“As for whether I’ll agree, that depends on my mood!”
“Senior Brother~ Good Senior Brother~ Please just agree to me…”
