The daily life of a genius who enjoys gossip and cultivates immortality

Chapter 11 Canglan Peak 2

The Venerable Qingxu and Venerable Qingyang were gone for almost half a year.

After the two returned, even though Qingxu Zunjun was dressed in flowing white robes and looked like an immortal, Cheng Jiu could still smell the blood.

However, she didn't ask. After all, it was no small matter that even the two Venerable Ones had to go away for half a year. Asking would be useless. As long as her master returned safely, that was enough.

The two immediately spotted Cheng Jiu and Gong Yu below, who were hunting rabbits.

Qingyang Venerable asked curiously, "Which fool brought the Flame Rabbit up the mountain?"

The two men hunting rabbits below also saw their two masters and shouted excitedly.

"Master, Master!"

The two descended from the sky. "Which of you brought the Flame Rabbit?"

Flame Rabbits are delicious, but they reproduce too quickly and love to burrow.

The younger disciples didn't know why they targeted the Flame Rabbit back then. Besides the fact that it was really delicious, another reason was that its reproductive ability was just too fast.

Among the beast tides that emerged from the wilderness, the Flame Rabbit can be considered to be at the forefront.

A single Flame Rabbit is weak, but when Flame Rabbits are grouped together, their power is extraordinary, causing a lot of trouble for the Guiyuan Sect.

So Guiyuan Sect began to hunt down the Flame Rabbits. Originally, they were at the forefront of the beast annihilation campaign, but somehow the rumor spread that they were hunting them because the Flame Rabbits were too delicious.

Outsiders thought so, and many junior disciples in the sect also thought so. The key point is that it really tastes very good, and at that time, quite a lot of Flame Rabbits were caught.

The sect's mission hall had collected an entire mountain of Flame Rabbits and was wondering how to deal with them. After this rumor spread, many people outside wanted to buy Flame Rabbits to try.

In this situation, they let it go unchecked, and in order to sell it better, the price of the Flame Rabbit has not gone down for many years.

However, when the Flame Rabbit was killed, Venerable Qingxu and Venerable Qingyang had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and they had both taken on this task, so they were aware of it.

"Master, it's me." Gong Yu obediently admitted his mistake.

Qingyang Venerable's face stiffened as he looked at his friend: "I'm sorry, Qingxu, my disciple is really too foolish."

Lord Qingxu was not angry: "It's just a few rabbits. We'll kill them in a moment."

Qingyang Venerable nodded, then became curious about why Gong Yu wanted to raise this Flame Rabbit.

Gong Yu: "Because my junior sister likes it, I went and caught a whole nest of them. I was originally waiting for you, Master, to take me back to Yanqian Peak."

I took the rabbit home, intending to raise it and roast it for my junior sister. But I never expected it to be such a good burrower and reproduce so quickly. Before I knew it…

When Qingyang Zunjun heard him say that he wanted to bring the rabbit to Yanqian Peak, he became agitated, grabbed his ear and shouted, "Don't even think about it! If your master finds out that you've been causing trouble for my Yanqian Peak, I'll throw you out!"

This idiot second apprentice, is he trying to drive him crazy?

"Master, Master's ears hurt, I know, I won't do it again," Gong Yu said loudly.

"If you understand, then remember it for your master!" Qingyang was exhausted looking at this disciple who never learned his lesson.

If you don't repeat it a few more times, who knows when the other person might suddenly have a brain fart and bring home a litter of rabbits.

He doesn't pose much of a problem when he's around, but there are always times when his strength is absent.

If he were to return to find his magnificent palace turned into a rabbit hutch, he would truly be furious.

The Venerable Qingxu observed the subtle tension between the two.

Ah, at least his apprentice is always courting disaster, but he usually behaves quite well.

No one has ever made Qingyang break through such a strong defense in all these years, which shows how mischievous his two disciples are when they are together.

After all, Qingyang was someone they had known since childhood. He seemed unreliable, but he always considered himself a noble young master and maintained his elegance even when facing difficulties.

But now it's far from elegant. He suddenly remembered his master's words.

Everyone gets their own retribution. Although the little apprentice is very well-behaved, he's still really worrying.

After instructing his apprentice, Qingyang tidied himself up.

He nodded to his friend, and the two of them made their move together.

All the rabbits that burrowed everywhere in the rainforest floated into the air, and the next second they seemed to have been dealt a fatal blow, turning into corpses piled up into a small mountain.

"Little Jiu, do you still want to eat these Flame Rabbits? If so, Master will make you an ice box, and you can take them out of the ice box whenever you want to eat them."

Lord Qingxu had been listening to their conversation the whole time, and he also heard Gong Yu say that his disciple liked to eat fire rabbit.

Cheng Jiu suddenly covered his mouth and shook his head hurriedly: "Master, you can handle these rabbits yourself, I don't want to eat them."

For the past few months, every time we finished hunting rabbits, there was nowhere to clean up, so the two of us basically ate rabbits for all three meals.

Even the most delicious food will become tiresome and unpalatable if eaten for three months straight.

She also took out a lot of rabbits from her ring and placed them on the rabbit mountain.

"Then I will contact the Mission Hall."

After a while, a disciple came to tidy up and, after counting the items, gave Lord Qingxu a bag of spirit stones.

Venerable Qingxu gave the spirit stones to Cheng Jiu. "The Mission Hall has been collecting Flame Rabbits for a long time. Although these things are not easy to catch, their strength is low, making them very suitable for Foundation Establishment disciples like you."

Lord Qingyang has checked on his little disciple's training progress these past few days. It can be said that his archery skills have far exceeded his expectations. Not bad, very hardworking.

Seeing that Venerable Qingxu had already tidied up the rabbit, he asked, "Little Jiu, would you like to come with us to the ice cave to see your Senior Brother Gongcheng?"

Because of the cold in the ice cave, Lord Qingyang considered the deep brotherly bond between his second and eldest disciples.

They were worried that the other party would stay in the ice cave and keep watch.

Therefore, the ice cave was sealed off when leaving the cave, as it was not a suitable place for Foundation Establishment cultivators to stay for long; they could only stay there for half an hour at most.

"Uncle-Master, let's hurry up and go." Cheng Jiu was also concerned about Gong Cheng's situation. After all, the three of them had set out together, and it really felt empty to have one less person.

The ice cave is located behind her master's palace. Cheng Jiu had only heard her master mention it, but had never been there before, since her strength was too low. She had only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Qingxu Palace was already very cold, but the temperature in the ice cave was even lower. The ice crystals formed by the natural ice spirit stones overlapped and formed all sorts of natural patterns.

The purity is obviously very high; these are ice crystals that are even more precious than ice spirit stones, and they are just casually scattered in various corners.

Ice flowers bloomed throughout the cave, their blossoms and leaves entirely made of gemstones. These gemstones possessed the power to calm the mind and concentrate energy, and the plant itself was of considerable quality. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this place was teeming with top-grade spirit stones.

The four of them were stopped by the formation halfway through their journey. Qingyang Venerable Lord formed a rather complicated hand seal. The formation first emitted a faint light, and then slowly fell away and disappeared like shattered glass.

Upon entering, one's eyes are drawn to a large, jade-like stone, its surface shimmering with a radiant light, as if water were slowly flowing through it.

This is top-grade ten-thousand-year-old icy jade. If made into a coffin, it can preserve the corpse from decay for eternity. Wearing it with an ice spirit root can increase cultivation speed tenfold and prevent demonic possession.

It also has the effects of nourishing the body and calming the spirit, and regulating the body, making it an extremely precious treasure.

Apart from the remaining top-quality iceberg green jade lying there.

The Xuanling Stone he wore on his waist was the one that True Lord Qingyang had lent to Cheng Jiu. No wonder he was able to recover from such a fatal injury in just six months.

However, after about half a year, the other person's complexion became much rosier, and he no longer looked so pale and dying.

Gong Yu hadn't seen his brother for a long time. Although he was having a lot of fun with his junior sister down there, he missed his brother very much.

He grasped Miyagi's hand and began to ramble on about his recent experiences.

For example, killing a rabbit, or updating the notebook for conversation, or saying that the junior sister's roasted rabbit was delicious.

Finally, with a touch of reluctance, he added, "It's a pity you haven't woken up yet, brother. Don't worry about me, I'm having a lot of fun."

Qingyang Venerable Lord rolled his eyes as he listened. As expected of his second disciple, he was really silly. His eldest disciple was still lying in bed.

"Alright, alright, stop disturbing your elder brother's rest." Even Lord Qingyang couldn't stand it anymore. Couldn't you at least show some respect for the patient?

"Then you should rest well, brother. I'll come see you again tomorrow." Gong Yu was already used to it.

Cheng Jiu and his master watched from the side. After all, the other person was still unconscious, and Cheng Jiu couldn't bring himself to thank the unconscious person. Showing concern for their condition was enough.

Qingyang Venerable checked on his eldest disciple's condition and, seeing that he was improving, tidied him up before the four of them left, as it wouldn't be good to have too many people around.

The sect was unsafe, so neither of them considered sending their disciple to Sword Peak. They would wait until the turmoil subsided before sending him, since the three of them had already made quite a splash during this purge.

Since the two of them were free, it was a good opportunity for them to teach a disciple. Cheng Jiu was already able to use his sword intent.

However, in the eyes of the two venerable rulers, it was too shallow; she was using the sword intent of "myself".

In other words, I have no plan for my future path. "I" am quite willing to take shortcuts, because no matter what, it is still "me".

But what about her true self? Everyone should have their own pursuits, and then put those pursuits into practice.

In the process of practicing this path, one continuously comprehends one's own Tao, and it is worthwhile even to be shattered to pieces for it.

Through this continuous process of comprehension, one's sword intent will constantly improve, leading to successful enlightenment and the development of one's own unique sword path.

However, neither of them said anything, after all, Cheng Jiu was too young, not even seven years old yet.

It's too early for her to be thinking about what life is and what her own path is under these circumstances.

She has countless years to learn, and her teachers should not force her to grow too quickly.

However, since Venerable Qingxu could teach her the Qingxu Sword Technique, Cheng Jiu insisted on learning a skill for escaping.

After all, that experience taught her that it's impossible to always face enemies of equal strength, and knowing how to escape from a powerful foe is a very important skill.

Qingyang Venerable thought it made sense, but neither of them had any good escape techniques at the moment. Actually, compared to Cheng Jiu and the other two, the two of them had a slightly more privileged background.

Since they graduated, although they have encountered formidable enemies, they have been able to defeat them with a single sword strike, and fighting opponents of higher levels has become commonplace for them.

They had absolutely no intention of learning how to escape.

They had never been so unlucky as Cheng Jiu and his companions, encountering enemies of such vastly different strength.

Even if they had encountered them back then, they might not have been able to defeat them.

After all, they are his own apprentices, and he doesn't know if they will continue to be so unlucky in the future.

This escape technique is extremely important, and its quality cannot be low.

The two decided to go out and try their luck, to ask their friends if they had any high-quality cultivation techniques.

If all else fails, the two of them decide to go out and search on their own.

Cheng Jiu then began to learn the Qingxu Sword Technique, which was different from the Qingxin Sword Technique he had learned before. The Qingxu Sword Technique was a bit more difficult to learn.

It took Cheng Jiu a long time to master the first move, as it was his master's self-created signature sword technique.

It includes not only the master's insights into swordsmanship to this day, but also his own growth.
