Chapter 51 Peak Master of Baiyu Peak
"Who’ll win?"
"I bet on Baiyu Peak. Is it completely doomed?"
"You're done. I bet 100 Spirit Stones on Zhiqiong Peak. At least I still have a glimmer of hope."if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen
"Daydream. In this game, the banker takes all."
The disciples watching the battle, especially those who made bets, were about to vomit blood.
They wished it was a dream.
However, Linran Peak and Yuqiong Peak next door were still fighting to the death. Swords and qin sounds were entangled, while the arena for Zhiqiong Peak here was very... amicable.
Zhou Zhang wanted to continue the fight, but his junior brothers and sisters all disagreed. The most important thing was that Zhou Zhang had no more contract beasts!
His secret weapon was still in the arms of the temporary peak master of Zhiqiong Peak.
Zhiqiong Peak's peak master sat on her seat while choking Baiyu Peak's beast's throat.
No, she was feeding an unidentified elixir into the mouth of this killer monster.
"What are you feeding Xiong Feng!" Zhou Zhang shouted.
In an instant, a powerful but deadly aura of Nascent Soul descended on the elder's seat.
A crack was torn open in the air and a shriveled and wrinkled palm full of bluish vein stretched out.
"The Precept's Hall interrupted this old man's retreat. Could it be that our Baiyu Peak lost the battle today?"
A group of disciples watching the game couldn't help showing expressions of watching the play. They looked up curiously, but soon their eyes became sad.
The elder who had just come couldn't even stand up. He sat cross-legged on a golden steel ring that was also quite dim. His two kneecaps under his black robe looked very sharp and the lines of bones of his legs were faintly revealed.
His face was not only wrinkled, but his cheeks were also sunken. His eagle eyes were particularly prominent, which was a bit terrifying.
However, his complexion was no longer ruddy. He was pale and even blueish.
Anyone could see that he was about to... die.
When Baiyu Peak's disciples said their master was about to pass, it was not a lie.
Today, they accepted the third-class challenge, but their peak master didn't come. It wasn't because he didn't want to, but... if he came, they were afraid of him dying during the grand competition.
The disciples watching the battle couldn't help but put away their expressions of watching the play. They felt sad in their hearts.
The elders of the Precepts Hall who were sitting on the seat also showed grief.
Nanxun Sect was about to lose another Nascent Soul peak. It looked like it would be in the next few days.
The dead aura on his body could hardly be covered and it had already permeated his natal magic weapon.
Elder Zhang felt the same sadness.
But soon, his eyes lit up. He held down his storage bag and looked towards Su Yu.
"Master!"
Baiyu Peak's second disciple, with light feathers embroidered on his green robe, had already rushed to the old man from under the ring.
"We found a Nanxun disciple who can control Xiong Feng!"
His shoulders trembled, but he still gritted his teeth and kowtowed.
"Xiong Feng is more obedient to her than to Senior Brother..."
"Chang Qing, all eyes are on you. How dare you talk nonsense. Obviously, Xiong Feng is crazy!" Zhou Zhang was furious in the ring.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a beautiful voice behind him.
"I have no intention of controlling it. If you lose this bear, take it back quickly."
Zhou Zhang turned his head and his eyes narrowed.
Yu Qingzi also looked at the girl.
Then they saw the usually volatile and irritable third-grade sacred bear, now was like a coquettish child. It was holding its two bear paws on the arm of this female cultivator, refusing to let go.
She took a step forward, but the bear hugged her tightly and was being dragged forward.
Simply inseparable.
Zhou Zhang's eyes twitched.
Yu Qingzi was stunned.
"How about it? Yu Qingzi, you have to see what's going on and tell us what to do."
The man sitting in the first position of the Precepts Hall had a terrifying strength. However, his face was as handsome as a youth. His actual age could not be seen at all.
"Ten years ago, you proposed to the Precepts Hall to find suitable disciples who can inherit your contract beasts among the disciples of Nanxun."
"But at that time, you have seen all Nascent Soul and Golden Core disciples in Nanxun, and no one can stop the irritability of your beast."
The man was wearing a daisy-white robe. He put down the teacup in his hand as he spoke.
The teacup was directly embedded into the wooden table as he put it down.
It could be seen that his mood was fluctuating at this moment. His mood was far more violent than his face.
"At that time, you said it might take another ten years, so I waited for you. Now, you should know that time is running out."
Yu Qingzi's hands trembled and he closed his eyes with a sigh.
When he opened it again, there was only a glimmer of hope left and he was looking at Su Yu.
"Child, come here."
Zhou Zhang's expression changed dramatically.
The second disciple of Baiyu Peak and the other disciples looked forward to Su Yu, who was being hindered by the bear cub.
Su Yu had no idea what was going on.
Everyone from Zhiqiong Peak was also at a loss. They didn't know what the elders' conversation meant.
But soon, Yu Qingzi continued.
There seemed to be a thick phlegm in his throat, making him difficult to breathe.
"I will pass soon. If no one in Nanxun can inherit the beast under my seat, there is no guarantee that they will not be violent and hurt people in Nanxun in the future until their lifespan also runs out."
"At that time, my Baiyu Peak will also exist in name only and I have to dismiss my disciples."
Baiyu Peak's disciples all looked sad.
They seemed to be second-class and powerful, but when their master died, they would be even worse than Zhiqiong Peak.
If the Precepts Hall took control of the fourth-grade sacred beast, it meant that Nanxun's attempt at the prophecy of controlling beasts had failed completely.
There was no need for Baiyu Peak to exist.
Their disciples would all be separated and enter other peaks.
Yu Qingzi sighed, "That's why I said ten years ago, whoever inherits my sacred beast will be the next peak master of my Baiyu Peak."
Everyone was shocked.
This was not a rumor.
"Xiong Feng is the descendant of my sacred beast. If you can make it obedient and when your Nascent Soul is born, you will surely make my fourth-grade sacred beast ease its emotions."
"This niece, cough..." Yu Qingzi's breath seemed unsustainable. He swayed, endured his discomfort, and said, "Don't be afraid."
In an instant, the dim diamond circle under his knee suddenly brightened.if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen
The half-human-tall bear cub beside Su Yu suddenly had scarlet eyes. It roared up to the sky, which resounded throughout the arena.
The disciples watching the battle instantly froze and sweated.
The young-looking man, the head of the Precepts Hall, had an unfathomable cultivation base and a handsome face.
However, no matter who saw him, they would instantly forget his appearance.
At this moment, he solemnly ordered. "Five-grade red-cloth defense formation!"
"Elder Hong, Elder Zhou, protect the disciples of Zhiqiong Peak."
The two elders in red robes flew out immediately. Elder Hong stood beside Su Yu, and the talisman in his hand appeared.
Another elder with all white hair flew in front of Hang Wan'er and the others. Her natal magic weapon was actually a triangular bell, which immediately shrouded over Zhiqiong Peak's disciples.
Yu Qingzi raised his hunched hand, unable to lift it in Su Yu's direction.
As if losing its mind, the half-human-tall bear cub took a few steps back. It fiercely raised its bear's paw and swung its sharp five claws at Su Yu!
"Yu Qingzi!"
Elder Zhang changed his face and stepped in front of Su Yu. His sword energy condensed.
However—
He smelled a sweet fragrance like the nectar of flowers floating from behind him with a delicate wine aroma.
In an instant, the underage sacred bear was stunned.
After a moment, everyone saw it slowly retracting its sharp bear claws one by one.
It turned into a jet black fur ball, stepped on the ground on all fours and galloped fast. Its short black fur trembled in the wind as it rolled towards her.
It hit Elder Zhang's sword energy with a roar and the black mass rolled before stopping in front of Su Yu. It licked its red lips and rolled its tongue on Su Yu's fair fingertips.
Not only did it not hurt her in the slightest, but the furry bear's face looked back at Yu Qingzi suspiciously.
Obviously, the bear was not going to do what he ordered.
Yu Qingzi was stunned for a moment, but his pale face flushed instantly, "Cough, cough...God bless my Nanxun, God bless my Baiyu Peak, hahaha..."
After saying these words, his breath quickly weakened.
He smiled and lowered his head.
Everyone was shocked.
"Master!" The second disciple of Baiyu Peak knelt down in grief.
The rest of the disciples wept.
"Master, you were okay for a few days. Why did you go now?" Zhou Zhang, in the ring, immediately knelt down, shouting with grief on his face, "You handed Xiong Feng to me just to see me inherit Baiyu Peak! You can rest assured now. From today, as the Peak Master of Baiyu Peak, I will definitely take care of everyone!"
"Brother, what did you say?" The second disciple of Baiyu Peak turned his head in tears,
"Master just said—"
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Zhang cut him.
"Second Junior Brother, Master just talked about ten years ago. But he personally said three days ago that he would give Baiyu Peak to me!"
The second disciple of Baiyu Peak was stunned.
"Bullshit!"
Elder Zhang snorted.
He looked at Yu Qingzi, whose head was already down with his eyes closed. His eyes were also sad.
"Junior Niece Su?" He lowered his voice.
Su Yu nodded.
Elder Zhang immediately drove away the second disciple of Baiyu Peak, who was supporting Yu Qingzi and wailing.
A plum fruit with golden light and a longevity character array suddenly floated into the air.
The vitality source enveloped Yu Qingzi and instantly removed ten or twenty percent of his dead energy.
"This is... the Vitality Formation!"
Everyone was stunned.
"No wonder Elder Zhang has had an increase in his lifespan recently. So he got such a treasure?"
"How come someone uses plums to make an array?"
The fresh, sweet and sour plum fragrance spreaded throughout the viewing seat.
The elders were surprised.
Even Zhou Zhang changed his face.
But when he saw that the plum fruit was quickly shattered, the vitality array disappeared in an instant, and the death energy re-entangled his master, who should have gone westward, Zhou Zhang was relieved.
It was not the time to breathe a sigh of relief...
Elder Zhang broke apart a flat elixir and stuffed half of it into Yu Qingzi's mouth just before the vitality formation was about to dissipate.
There was more fruity fragrance, accompanied by a meaty and fatty fragrance. All the Nascent Souls present felt that this full-bodied fragrance was gushing out with vitality.
In just a moment, they saw Yu Qingzi's face gone back from layers of death.
His senile eyelids moved and three-inch strands of black hair fell from his balding head, covering his eyes.
Yu Qingzi opened his eyes and was stunned.
A group of onlookers was also stunned.
Especially Elder Hong, who couldn't help but turned to look at Su Yu, who was being blocked by a round hairball, unable to move an inch.
There was a hint of surprise on the calm young face of the chief elder of the Precepts Hall.
"Elder Zhang, your lifespan has been extended by six years. Is it because of this pill?"
Although it did not give too much lifespan, this pill could save lives at critical moments!
Yu Qingzi, who had closed his eyes, sat up blankly. "I'm not dead? Cough cough..."
He cleared his throat subconsciously, but there was no more thick phlegm in his throat. His voice even regained some of his former majesty.
"Master!" Baiyu Peak's second disciple was overjoyed. "Elder Zhang gave you the pill. He saved you!"if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen
After Yu Qingzi felt his own body, his heart trembled. He stood up in a hurry, and his legs were full of qi and blood. He didn't need to sit cross-legged on his magic weapon to move!
At the end of his life, he managed to stand up!
"I seem to have an extra year of lifespan. My strength has returned to its peak. Elder Zhang, thank you—"
Elder Zhang waved his hand. "No need to thank me."
He coughed lightly, "You still have to pay spiritual stones."
Yu Qingzi: "..."
Elder Zhang looked at the Precepts Hall elders. "I only have this one pill. Don't look at me. Also, I have something to say to Yu Qingzi alone."
Yu Qingzi: "?"
The Chief Elder raised his eyebrows and nodded quickly.
Elder Zhang immediately dropped a restriction around him and Yu Qingzi.
"This is the second-grade Longevity Pill refined by Little Niece Su from Zhiqiong Peak. Don't look at her age. Listen to me - she is now the temporary peak master of Zhiqiong Peak..."
Yu Qingzi: …
"This pill is about 20,000 spirit stones and can also be converted into Zhiqiong Peak's contribution points. If you are an elder, you can get 20% off if you pay with contribution points."
Yu Qingzi: …
"This old man has taken many kinds of Longevity Pills. If you prepare spiritual stones or contribution points, you can also ask her to exchange some. However," Elder Zhang smiled helplessly, "she is only at Foundation Building at present. I feel I can use only one more of her Longevity Pill, and my lifespan will stagnate after ten years."
"Unless she managed to reach Golden Core, it is useless for me to take any more. It must be the same for you."
Yu Qingzi nodded.
'Reasonable.'
'How can the way of heaven make it so easy to refine a Longevity Pill.'
'Adding ten years of extra life, she is already amazing.'
Yu Qingzi looked towards the arena in admiration, but the corner of his eye accidentally swept towards Wei Zhao in the arena.
He was dumbfounded.
'How can his golden core be so big!'
His shocked eyes moved to Su Yu's seat under the ring.
The result was another surprise.
"This, why are the dantians of their Foundation Buildings so vast, like layers of waves? It was also turbulent. Five or six times stronger than the Foundation Buildings next to them?!"
Elder Zhang also twitched at the corners of his mouth.
'Oh, it was discovered.'
'Sure enough, the spiritual consciousness of a beastmaster at the peak of Nascent Soul is already comparable to a master in a Divine Transformation stage.'
'Hong Yun's covering talisman didn't work.'
'Sighed.'
"This is the cultivation secret of Zhiqiong Peak. Why are you asking me... you should deal with your own disciple first."
Yu Qingzi's eyes flickered.
Zhou Zhang had a bad heart and would become a disaster. If he did not deal with this disciple, the Precepts Hall would punish him severely.
But what if he had another heir?
According to Elder Zhang, he could get at least ten years of life.
He was afraid it would be difficult for him to break through at the last moment and escape death.
But if he closed his eyes and entrusted his disciple to someone else to take care of, he would not be at ease.
The best thing that could happen was that his apprentices could stand up by themselves without being bullied.
Yu Qingzi couldn't help but turn his eyes to Zhiqiong Peak again.
This giant golden core, this hundred-layers foundation… were the secrets of cultivation of Zhiqiong Peak?
He was not a fool.
'Is it from elixir?'
'An alchemist who can refine a second-grade longevity pill.'
Yu Qingzi looked at Su Yu and sighed with emotion. Taoist Mu always talked about cultivating immortal virtue, but he had never told him about such an amazing and brilliant alchemist disciple.
The secrets of Zhiqiong Peak could not be known to others.
But what if they joined hands with Baiyu Peak?
Soon everyone saw Yu Qingzi's expression of hope as if he saw the rise of Baiyu Peak in the future.
Everyone was curious.
Yu Qingzi turned around and solemnly spoke to the elders of the Precepts Hall.
"I don't have much lifespan now and I still need to retreat. I hope to break through and I can't supervise the peak affairs every day. During this time, Baiyu Peak's temporary acting peak master, I will leave it to the next generation..."
He looked at the figure in a yellow dress.
"Let this little niece Su take charge in advance. Please, the Precepts Hall old men also take care of my disciples."
Disciples: …
Zhiqiong Peak: "...!"
Su Yu: "?"
Earlier, she was just watching the fun. She never thought that this would come true.
"Master!" Zhou Zhang couldn't care about the competition anymore and immediately jumped off the ring.
However, Yu Qingzi's diamond circle flew out in a flash, imprisoning his whole body.
"I was not strict with my followers, hey." Yu Qingzi's back seemed to be hunched by two points.
"You come to cultivate and retreat with me."
Zhou Zhang suddenly seemed to be paralyzed. "No! I'm going to be a Nascent Soul soon. I can live at least four hundred years—"
A small golden seal from Yu Qingzi's sleeve flew out immediately.
And it flew to Su Yu.
Su Yu's expression was complicated.if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen
She saw the small seal with the words "Baiyu" engraved on it, which was exactly the same as the seal of Zhiqiong's Peak Master in her storage bag.
Being able to control beasts, she knew that she had no such thing.
Master Su only controlled the ingredients.
"Beast Master Yu," Su Yu honestly took a step forward, "I think you must have misunderstood. I don't know how to fight with beasts and have never practiced the art of controlling beasts."
But when she took a step forward, the black bear cub holding her hand was also dragged forward.
Everyone: "..."
'So unconvincing.'
Yu Qingzi smiled, "Sacred beasts swallow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate the Nascent Soul and gradually become enlightened. Although they are ignorant, they also pray for longevity."
"I estimated that this bear has a hunch. Staying by your side will benefit its cultivation."
Su Yu raised her eyebrows.
"Junior Niece Su, I beg you to manage the peak for this old man. That fourth-grade sacred beast had accompanied this old man for hundreds of years. Before I passed, let it accompany this old man for a few more years, hey."
Yu Qingzi smiled wryly.
In a second, a restriction was dropped around them, so that only the two of them could hear.
"This old man has about 1.8 million spirit stones and four or five pieces of fourth-grade spirit tools. All of which will be handed over to you as a payment for the purchase of your Longevity Pill..."
The back of Yu Qingzi's ears was a little red.
"Please also help me take care of my Baiyu Peak's disciples."
"I don't know, do you still have a way to improve their cultivation?"
Su Yu: "..."
'Master Su's halo, just anyone who has just left the retreat could find out?'
'Of course, there are.'
Yu Qingzi's eyes trembled on the spot. "This old man, can I take a look before I die?"
Su Yu couldn't bear it and nodded after seeing his bald head with only a few black strands on his head.
Yu Qingzi laughed immediately,
"Okay. Before this old man died, it was a great blessing to meet Little Niece Su. Let's go to this old man's Baiyu Peak!"
However, after taking a step, he was stopped by the judging elder.
"This challenge—"
"In this competition, my Baiyu Peak disciples used an untamed third-grade beast. According to the rules, they lose."
"Besides, my chief disciple Zhou Zhang is the strongest. Now that his beasts are exhausted, Baiyu Peak is no match for Zhiqiong Peak. We lost."
"Master, I am incompetent!" Baiyu Peak's second disciple bowed his head.
Yu Qingzi shook his head. His gaze swept towards Wei Zhao on the ring and swept towards his second disciple.
'Silly disciple, fighting that Golden Core disciple is like hitting a stone with an egg!'
Yu Qingzi was dying and had been in continuous retreat for several years.
Winning or losing this year was just a snap in his eyes.
It was better to take a step back and let his Golden Core disciples grow up.
"Losing is also an experience," Yu Qingzi lowered his eyelids.
The second disciple immediately bowed his head.
In a flash, Yu Qingzi rolled up Baiyu Peak's disciples and everyone from Zhiqiong Peak and walked away.
"Precepts Hall, please announce the result." Yu Qingzi shouted in the air with a loud voice.
The disciples watching the battle looked at each other.
The two errand disciples of the Precepts Hall quickly looked at each other.
One whispered, "Fortunately, I didn't write the list of third-class peaks to Tiansheng Academy in advance. Zhiqiong Peak is now second-class."
"Yes, let's wait until Yuqiong Peak's battle is finished."
---
Su Yu sat upright at the moment, looking at Baiyu Peak's Golden Core disciples.
"Chang Qing, the second disciple of Baiyu Peak, pays respects to the temporary peak master!"
"Chen Wenxiang, the third disciple of Baiyu Peak, greets the temporary peak master!"
Hang Wan'er and the others looked complicated.
Did they suddenly become one generation older?
A little embarrassing.
Su Yu sat in the leader's seat and nodded to them, "In this case, I will not refuse."
She had a kind personality, which made Yu Qingzi overjoyed.
But soon, he heard Su Yu speak, "Today, Baiyu Peak lost the competition and became a third-class peak. In the future, your resources will be affected. If your strength allows it, you should learn more from other peaks."
Yu Qingzi was stunned for a moment and hurriedly explained on behalf of his apprentices, "Zhou Zhang was originally the chief disciple, with the strongest ability, but now... let's not mention it. Chang Qing and the others are still a little short. They have limited spiritual awareness and cannot achieve the state of spiritual unity with their beasts."
"I'm afraid they are not a match for other second-class peak chief disciples."
Su Yu raised her eyebrows, "Limited spiritual consciousness?"
Yu Qingzi immediately looked at his second disciple, "Hurry up and call your contract beast, and show my Junior Niece Su."
Chang Qing, the second disciple of Baiyu Peak, wore a green robe embroidered with light feathers. He looked gentle and meticulous.
Immediately, Chang Qing made a move, and soon a golden parrot spread its wings and flew into the room.if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen
"Baiyu Peak's mind method is to cultivate tacit understanding with beasts. The two spirits are familiar with each other, support each other, and gradually form a tacit understanding."
Yu Qingzi explained.
"If the cultivator has insufficient spiritual awareness, the progress will be slow. Even when controlling the beast, they will be unable to exert 100% of the beast's ability."
As he said this, Chang Qing's still young face showed a trace of the kindness of an old father.
He carefully outstretched his arm, letting the parrot land on it majestically.
Then, he took out a small gold comb set with gems from his storage bag and brushed the parrot's back hair lovingly and gently.
But the parrot croaked softly, turned back, and struggled with dissatisfaction. It jumped away from the comb.
The parrot was still unhappy. He softly apologized several times before he calmed it down.
Su Yu was stunned.
Hang Wan'er and Yu Dong behind her looked a little dull.
The style of this second disciple of Baiyu Peak was completely different from that of Zhou Zhang.
They were worried that their second senior sister would be taken away, but now...it seemed all right.
Chang Qing really couldn't compare with other chief disciples!
Chang Qing was shy and self-blaming. He said, "It's all because my consciousness is too weak, unlike Master. Master doesn't need to say words. Just with a look, he can communicate with his contract beast."
"Hey, if my consciousness could be stronger, I know which comb Liu Feng likes today and which bag of spirit grain is more in line with its taste.
...Er I mean, that way, I'll be able to control Liu Feng better."
Yu Qingzi nodded in relief. "Yes, this is the right way. Don't imitate your senior brother, hey."
In the end, he was also full of sorrow.
"Chang Qing, don't worry. You can do it over time." Yu Qingzi sighed, but he might not see this day.
"I probably know what to do."
Su Yu suddenly made a statement and stood up with her hands behind her back.
Yu Qingzi: "Huh?"
Chang Qing looked up in confusion.
Yu Dong, who was standing behind her, had already flicked his abacus to calculate Baiyu Peak's related elixirs and compared it with the peak leader's spirit stones that Su Yu managed. Then he recorded them in the accounts.
"Wait a minute. I'll try to increase your consciousness."
Su Yu already had an idea.
Yu Qingzi: …
'Join them if you can't beat them!'
Yu Qingzi felt that he was very wise. However, it didn't take long to see Su Yu come back.
In her hand was a small jade bowl.
Yu Qingzi was taken aback.
In the bowl, there was a smell of milk, which faintly came out as she walked towards them.
She placed it on the wooden table and removed the restriction.
They saw a milky white jade liquid in the small green porcelain bowl, and several three-dimensional elixirs that looked like miniature versions of golden parrots lying in it!
Glittering, vivid and lovely.
Even the golden parrot on Chang Qing's arm looked over curiously with its mung bean eyes.
Chang Qing was shocked, "Why does this elixir look like Liu Feng?!"
Su Yu nodded.
Almonds nourished the brain.
This was what she did to raise spiritual awareness - almond milk custard parrot edition!
