Chapter 4: Extraordinary Genius
Duan Yifeng smiled, and then drew the silver sword again. The silver sword grew to half a meter wide and floated a foot above the ground.
Bai Ziming took Yao Beibei on Duan Yifeng’s flying sword, who took them to a mountain. Su Huarong’s followed closely behind, but his eyes did not leave Bai Ziming and Yao Beibei.
After standing on the sword and blown by the cold wind, Yao Beibei finally recovered, and her legs shivered again against her will.
Bai Ziming was standing in front of her, with no fear of flying at high altitudes. He seemed to enjoy it very much. Yao Beibei dropped all of her dignity and hugged his waist.
Bai Ziming, who was tightly hugged by Yao Beibei, turned visibly stiff. But it seemed that he was getting used to it, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. For the past five months, he had been with her, eating and sleeping together, and experienced many things. To him, she was no longer a person who had nothing to do with him.
Seeing Bai Ziming, who had been as cold as the iceberg, did not resist her “embrace”, Yao Beibei couldn’t help but feel overjoyed and relieved. suddenly. It seemed that it was not so terrible to fly so high on a sword!
The white clouds beneath their feet were misty and mysterious, and countless green peaks flew backward, dazzling and dizzying.
After flying for a while, Duan Yifeng controlled the flying sword to slowly descend. There was a mountain deep in clouds, tall and towering. Although it was just a mountain, it made people feel a sense of majesty.
After they walked down from the flying sword, the scenery opened up. The sky was clean and blue like crystal. Peak pierced into the clouds and the sky, like pillar between a heaven and earth , standing tall in the sky, witnessing the passing of years.
The boundless sky was as clear as the mirror, and the sea of clouds floated slightly below it. Looking at this scene, one’s mind would suddenly wide, as if they were just a wandering immortal in the world. Even Yao Beibei, who was mortal at the moment, felt that she seemed to become an omnipotent goddess.
With just a few more steps, a magnificent and ancient hall rose in front of them. The palace was magnificent, not as brilliant as an earthly hall, but there was an ethereal sense about it. Mist shrouded the hall as it outline became obscure. Cranes flew in the air, singing, circling above the hall. It was an immortal dwelling in the spiritual realm. They stared at it in awe.
The three golden characters: “Qing Feng Dian” (Qingfeng Hall) hang above the hall like three magnificent golden dragons, making the hall even more majestic. This hall is the Qingfeng Hall on the Qingfeng Peak, where Luo Zhi, the head of Qingfeng Sect, resided.
“Apprentices Duan Yifeng and Su Huarong have returned from defeating the evil python demon, here to greet the master!” Duan Yifeng and Su Huarong did not enter Qingfeng Hall, but knelt down outside.
“Come in!” A solemn male voice came out of Qingfeng Hall. The voice was not loud, but it rang like a brass bell, and lingered for a long time.
Duan Yifeng and Su Huarong got up, and Duan Yifeng continued to report: “Master, my disciple brother and I were helped by two people when we defeated the python demon, thus able to successfully kill it. One of them was an apprentice of Master Qiandao. They wish to enter the Qingfeng Sect. Please help them!”
“Oh? Bring them in first!”
Duan Yifeng heard and rejoiced because his the master didn’t rebuke him for bringing outsiders to the Qingfeng Sect. He turned to Yao Beibei and Bai Ziming and made and inviting gesture. Then he took them into Qingfeng Hall.
They saw an old man with a white beard sitting in the middle of the main hall. He had a sense of immortality, but his facial expression was extremely serious, which was very different from his approachable appearance. He was Luo Zhi, Chief Master of the Qingfeng Sect.
“Master, this is the python demon.” Duan Yifeng presented a small white bag in his right hand. In it was a small red line, the big red python.
“Well, you can bring it to Master Mo You!” Luo Zhi nodded approvingly to Duan Yifeng, then turned to Bai Ziming: “Child, what’s your name?
“Bai Ziming!” Although Bai Ziming’s expression was still cold, he completely put away his pride and replied to Luo Zhi respectfully.
Luo Zhiwen nodded, and there was joy in his eyes. At this moment, more than a dozen people appeared in Qingfeng Hall. Those people, male and female, old and young, saluted Luo Zhi one after another, and sat down one by one on the seats placed at both ends of the Qingfeng Hall.
The originally empty breeze was suddenly filled with people. Yao Beibei felt great pressure. It was just accepting an apprentice, just find someone to take them in and start teaching them. And do these cultivators like to appear suddenly? It’s scary to say the least, and if it wasn’t during the day, she would have thought that she had seen ghosts!
“Brothers and sisters, this child is named Bai Ziming. His path had crossed Master Qiandao. Unfortunately, Master Qiandao has been traveling for many years and has not returned yet. The child cannot be brought into his care. I wonder which master would like to take this boy in?” Luo Zhi smiled a little, but also felt some resentment. If he wasn’t too old, and his time was nearing the end, how could he let such a good apprentice go anywhere else?
For a moment, everyone was silent, as if they were thinking about something. All eyes tried to see Bai Ziming through. In their eyes, there were surprise and shock, but all of them showed greed, and wanted to take Bai Ziming as their own!
This blatant greed surprised Yao Beibei, but she was even more perplexed, because the head of the Qingfeng Sect did not even ask her name! So many people came for Bai Ziming, and blatantly ignored her, even if she had nothing to do with it. Why is there such a big difference in treatment?
The first person sitting on the left side of Luo Zhi looked like an academic. He was in his forties and sturdy. He looked at Bai Ziming up and down and smiled with kind eyes and asked Luo Zhi: “Chief brother, does this child have an ice-type spiritual base? ”
“Disciple brother Moyou, you observed well. This child does possess the ice-type spirit base!” Luo Zhi tried to hide his joy, but some of it still came out.
As soon as this remark was made, the quiet hall suddenly buzzed. Some people touched their chins, some squeezed their fists, some clapped their legs, some scratched their heads, and some clapped their hands. The place sizzled like a frying pan.
But Yao Beibei didn’t understand. These people are all seniors of the Qingfeng Sect. They had lived so many years. Why are they still babbling like kids?
Duan Yifeng and Su Huarong, who were standing beside Bai Ziming, were shocked. Yao Beibei didn’t know what the ice base was. They knew very clearly that Bai Ziming was a rare genius in the cultivator realm!
To verify his speculation for the crowd, Luo Zhi turned his hands and a black stone half a man tall appeared in front of Bai Ziming.
“Child, you just need to press your hands on this spirit stone!” Mo You squinted and said to Bai Ziming with a smile. The kindness in his eyes was like Bai Ziming had already become apprentice. He also had a msug look. He probably wanted to show off such a qualified apprentice to the rest!
Bai Ziming’s expression was still indifferent. He knew that what this soul-searching stone does: to detect the type of his spirit base. He had seen it before, so he was not surprised.
Bai Ziming stepped forward calmly, and pressed his hands on the spirit stone. At that instant, the spirit stone suddenly became clear like a beautiful jade, and the watery jade color quickly turned into ice and snow. Pure and white, the snowy light got brighter and brighter. People couldn’t open their eyes. It seemed that the entire Qingfeng Hall was turned into a snow and ice world. The coldness made Yao Beibei shiver.
“Haha, let me take this child and I will make him my apprentice!” A clear male voice came from outside the hall. It was soft yet echoed in the hearts of everyone for a long time.
At this moment, Yao Beibei was completely unable to stand still, started sweating for no reason, as if she was out of breath.
The next second, a man in his early thirties appeared in the Qingfeng Hall. The man wore white clothes, with thick eyebrows and shiny eyes, and his face smooth and bright. He looked like a handsome man, this man had an evil grin on his face. He didn’t look like a good person.
“Grand Elder!” As soon as the man appeared, the rest of the Qingling Hall, including Luo Zhi, got up and saluted the man. It seemed that the man was quite distinguished in the Qingfeng Sect, even above the Chief Master.
This man is Hua Qianqiu, who was the highest elder of Qingfeng Sect. Hua Qianqiu, ignoring the crowd, looked at Bai Ziming lovingly: “Child, what’s your name? how old are you?”
“Bai Ziming, 19 years old!” Hua Qianqiu’s pressure was heavy on Bai Ziming. Cold sweat started pouring down his forehead, but he kept standing straight.
Seeing Bai Ziming’s discomfort Hua Qianqiu realized that just now he only thought about taking in apprentices and never lowered on his own aura. The pressure on Bai Ziming was too great, so he quickly retracted his aura.
Although he didn’t believe anybody would be willing to let such a disciple defect to another master, Hua Qianqiu felt compelled to ask: “At the age of nineteen, you have already reached the later stage of Jingmai stage. Who was your master?”
“I belong to no sect. Since I was small, I have been learning cultivation according to a tome left by my mother.”
“Haha! It is rare to be able to learn without a teacher at a young age. You will be the fifth disciple of my house!” Hua Qianqiu nodded with satisfaction. He was very proud.
