A Top Scholar in Everything

Chapter 1286: Chapter 1272: Immortal Cultivation Is Not About Fighting and Killing

It seems this younger brother of mine.

After falling from the horse and taking a tumble, truly came to a realization.

For a moment.

Bai Changqiu felt a mix of emotions, words turned into a single sentence, "Take care of yourself, if you run into trouble, you can come to Mist Peak to find me."

Baiyu nodded.

Seeing that his brother wasn’t as anxious or uneasy as anticipated, Bai Changqiu nodded and departed.

Elder Ou, knowing the relationship between Baiyu and Bai Changqiu, naturally didn’t dare to neglect him and kindly said, "Come on, even though your sister is a True Disciple, you still need to cultivate step by step, starting from the Outer Sect. On the cultivation path, only you can truly help yourself."

"Thank you, Elder, for the guidance."

Baiyu replied.

Elder Ou nodded, very satisfied with Baiyu’s demeanor, and led him to Cyan Seed Mountain.

After receiving a set of Outer Sect disciple attire.

Elder Ou took Baiyu to Cyan Seed Mountain’s Cyan Seed Hall and found the Outer Sect Elder.

"It seems there’s a vacancy in Yangxin Hall, so you’ll go there. The work there is quite relaxed, and you can also get involved with alchemy; the disciples in Yangxin Hall are never short of elixirs, it’s considered one of the best cultivation places in the Outer Sect."

Elder Ou said with a smile.

Clearly, he found Baiyu a good place to settle.

Since it’s Elder Ou’s arrangement, Baiyu naturally wouldn’t refuse. The elder knew of his relationship with Bai Changqiu, and surely wouldn’t place him somewhere peculiar.

Obviously.

The identity of a True Disciple here is much higher than that of ordinary elders.

After all, in the entire Star Shining Sect, there are only a hundred True Disciples, while the elders across various peaks and departments definitely exceed a hundred.

"By the way, you can go to the Artifact Refining Room to get another weapon; what would you like?"

"A sword,"

Baiyu answered casually.

After all, the Black Moon Blade also counts as a sword.

Elder Ou, with a look of "I knew it," took out a small bag, and like performing a trick, he pulled out a simple and heavy long sword from the bag: "This is a sword I used in the past, named Yingxue, which I no longer require, and since you need one, I’ll give it to you."

Obviously.

Elder Ou was investing in advance.

Baiyu accepted Yingxue, smiling as he said, "Thank you, Elder Ou. If you ever need anything, feel free to let me know."

Elder Ou nodded, stopping the conversation, and said, "You should go report to Yangxin Hall now, I’ll register you there, and here is your identity token. Keep it well; without it in the Star Shining Sect, you can’t even have a meal."

"Understood."

Baiyu accepted the token and made his way into Yangxin Hall.

Upon entering the main hall.

He noticed two large alchemy furnaces placed on either side of the hall, with two Star Shining Sect disciples in Outer Sect attire busy refining elixirs under the guidance of an Inner Sect disciple.

Baiyu didn’t inquire further.

Based on the information Elder Ou provided earlier, he proceeded to his residence, changed clothes, and put away his belongings.

His room door suddenly knocked.

"Come in."

Baiyu furrowed his brow, puzzled at who would be seeking him at this time.

Once he finished speaking.

The door opened, and a round, plump middle-aged man walked in.

"Are you the new disciple?"

The cheerful old man asked, quite kindly and without airs, as if making small talk.

Baiyu nodded, "And you are?"

"The Elder of Yangxin Hall, Hu Li."

"Ah, Elder Hu, I am Baiyu, greetings..." Baiyu said blandly, yet still with due respect, as he only sought to quietly cultivate within the Star Shining Sect and peacefully ascend without letting anything else interfere.

"Hey, Brother Bai, there’s no need to be so formal."

Hu Li immediately smiled, "Just call me Brother Hu or Old Hu, nothing to worry about."

"Uh..."

Hu Li’s demeanor rendered Baiyu slightly bewildered.

Are all the elders in the Star Shining Sect this fond of their disciples? Truly, the entire sect is one harmonious family, everyone cultivating peacefully, isn’t it?

Just as Baiyu pondered.

Hu Li said, "I heard from Elder Ou that you’re the younger brother of Immortal Changqiu?"

"You mean Bai Changqiu, yes, I’m her brother."

"Haha, didn’t expect Brother Bai’s connections to be so strong, Elder Ou mentioned it and I was a bit skeptical."

Hu Li came up, putting an arm around Baiyu’s shoulder, "In Yangxin Hall, if you need anything, just let me know, be it elixirs or materials, feel free to ask."

"Hm?"

"Bai Changqiu is one of this generation’s top ten True Disciples in the Star Shining Sect, she’s a personal disciple of the Grand Elder, yet recently, the Grand Elder declared that Changqiu no longer needs her guidance, as her talents allow her to learn without a teacher, her future achievements even exceeding hers."

Hu Li expressed with admiration and envy, "Your sister, although her current strength ranks her as the lowest among the ten True Disciples, she’s advancing rapidly.

It took her ten years to progress from the Extraordinary Realm to the Bursting Realm, which is considered a slow pace for someone with such potential, she was almost abandoned by the Star Shining Sect.

But after her breakthrough, she began to show her talent.

From the Bursting Realm to the Qi Xuan Realm, she took five years.

And now.

She’s at the Peak of Qi Xuan, accomplishing this in just three years.

Perhaps in one or two years.

She’ll reach the Spirit Transformation Realm.

In all my years in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, I’ve seen many prodigies, but someone who accelerates in cultivation like her, I’ve never encountered.

The path of cultivation.

Becomes more challenging as it progresses.

Who can advance as swiftly in cultivation as she does?

In the future.

Your sister might not be only a Sect Leader or Vice Sect Leader, but at least a Grand Elder, which is why I’m getting to know you beforehand, maybe someday, you’ll give me a hand."

Hu Li’s face revealed another kind smile.

Baiyu rather liked his straightforwardness and lack of circumlocution.

At this moment, Baiyu also contemplated.

Immortal cultivation isn’t just about fighting, but about social interactions.

Because his sister is a prodigy, the elders offer him convenience, even proactively approaching him.

"Alright, I’ll remember Elder Hu’s words. But let’s still address each other normally, titles can’t be casually used within the sect, or how would one command respect?"

Baiyu said.

Hu Li nodded in understanding.

And so.

Baiyu officially embarked on his cultivation journey.

To be honest.

Life in Yangxin Hall was quite dull, his daily tasks consisting only of resting, consuming some elixirs, or chatting with Hu Li.

Eventually, he brought along a reclining chair to the hall’s backyard, the material depot, lazily basking under the sun, watching distant mountains wrapped in clouds, gaining peace of mind.

Once he grew tired of sunbathing.

He picked up the "Star Shining Qi-Introducing Technique" beside him for a detailed study; this is the introductory cultivation technique of the Star Shining Sect, essential for every Outer Sect disciple, and the predecessor to many later techniques in Star Shining Sect.
