Who Dares To Slander My Senior Brother

CHAPTER 22 TREASURE THE MALE PROTAGONIST

The sky was bright and 140 disciples were assembled at Qing Xu main hall as they waited for instruction.

Qing Xu sword sect only had eight remaining ancient scrolls. Other than the 《Restoration Sutra》, there were seven other peaks that held ancient scrolls that had been passed from generation to generation. The remaining peaks didn’t have ancient scrolls and for many years had felt aggrieved although they didn’t necessarily speak of it.

Those that didn’t have ancient scrolls had their own way of doing things and stood on their own merits such as Wang Yue peak and Bei Yan peak. Of course, there were also those that became stagnant and gradually declined like Hong Xiu peak and Hui Shi peak.

Of the eight remaining ancient scrolls, the 《Restoration Sutra》didn’t have a particularly high ranking. However, in general, merit laws were difficult to compare. Its most useful effect was to develop the “Wood” spiritual root so that one’s cultivation speed would become faster and not experience any bottlenecks.

Gao Yan had had four spiritual roots and should not have been able to reach Qi Refining level ten but his cultivation of the 《Restoration Sutra》 had helped him reach late-stage Building Foundation and an age of 231 years.

Having a merit law that enabled you to develop a spiritual root was very rare because changing the nature of a person’s spiritual root was in defiance of the natural order. Unfortunately, the ⟨⟨Restoration Sutra’s ⟩⟩ ability was limited and thus it was not possible to also allow one to reach Core Formation.

It was worth mentioning that after enhancing his wood spiritual root, Gao Yan then became interested in nurturing spirit grass and became Qing Xu sword sect’s leading expert in spirit grass. He spent the rest of his life managing his plants and was widely known for being indifferent to fame or self-gain. Compared to the other peak masters he was the one person with the temperament of an immortal.

Xi Fang said: “This happens to coincide with the opening of the Eight Winds Cliff secret territory. The peak masters proposed that these seventy-two people together with the ten from each peak would take the trial at the Eight Winds Cliff secret territory. If anyone finds and retrieves the ‘Distant Wood Spirit Stone’, then they will be the one to receive the 《Restoration Sutra》inheritance. If no one is able to retrieve it, then the seventy-two people will instead compete in a martial arts tournament to determine the winner.”

No one dared to speak and only gazed at him in silence.

Secret territories were areas where ancient cultivators had died or possibly ascended to a higher level and had left behind their dwellings. They contained many kinds of magic treasures, spirit grasses, demonic beasts, and immortal pills. However they were guarded by barriers and ordinary people could not enter. After hundreds and thousands of years, these barriers gradually failed and the territories would open allowing major sects and loose cultivators entry wherein they would desperately fight over the magic treasures.

Eight Winds Cliff was a secret territory that existed in the Xun Yang mountain range about 500 li away and opened once every ten years. The magic treasures had long ago been taken away but it still contained dense spiritual energy, spirit grass, many demonic beasts, and every 100 years would produce a type of spirit stone known as ‘Distant Wood’ which was very beneficial to wood cultivators.

Wen Jing pricked his ears and carefully listened to every word.

This was Jun YanZhi’s first important trip before he became famous.

After this trial, Jun YanZhi’s cultivation, romantic relationships, and prestige would all advance by leaps and bounds.

It was also the last opportunity for Ji KeQing and Jun YanZhi.
