After the beast horde retreated, Su Xiaomo knelt on the ground.
This puzzled the Elders. After all, this lad was so courageous in the Cloud Ridge Mountain Range. Why would he be so scared that he couldn't even stand properly in such a situation?
Although Sun Yingquan and the other three outer sect disciples were also terrified, they could at least stand after the danger was over.
They were just praising him as a good seedling worth nurturing. In the end, he did such a thing. The four Elders couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Xia Shuiyun's eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
During this period, she had been helping Su Xiaomo both openly and secretly. Wasn't it because of his performance in the Cloud Ridge Mountain Range?
The danger level this time was far less than the previous time, but he was still so scared that he knelt on the ground.
Xia Shuiyun almost walked up and gave him a slap. "Su Jintang, you disappoint me too much!"
Although Sun Yingquan was usually a little profligate, he knew that Gou Sheng's actions would make the Elders unhappy. In the worst case, it could affect his future. Hence, he hurriedly said in a low voice, "Hurry and stand up!"
But not only did that lad not hear him, he even kowtowed and cried until his eyes were blurry. He even shouted …
Ga!
Sun Yingquan was stunned.
The four disappointed Elders were also stunned.
He called out … Master?
Xia Shuiyun's complicated eyes gradually turned into surprise.
This silver-haired old man who scared the beast horde away the moment he appeared was his Master?
"My Master is Old Man Jun Tian. He lives in seclusion in the mountains." Su Xiaomo's words rang in her ears. Xia Shuiyun instantly confirmed the old man's identity!
The four Elders also came to a realization.
So this lad didn't kneel on the ground because he was scared. It was because he met his Master that he couldn't help but kneel!
A teacher for a day, a father for life.
A disciple kneeling to his Master was definitely in accordance with etiquette. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Seeing Su Xiaomo kneeling in front of him with tears streaming down his face, especially the excitement in his eyes, Jun Changxiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "My disciple's acting skills have been passed down by me."
As a professional actor, he liked to meet these types of actors because they were definitely better than celebrities who only knew how to use numbers as their lines.
Jun Changxiao was fully immersed in his role. He smiled amiably and said, "Little Gou Sheng, it's been a few years since we parted ways. I didn't expect to meet you again at the Golden Scale Mountain."
He really wanted to rush over and kick Su Xiaomo down the mountain.
Of all the names you could come up with as a spy, you just had to use my nickname. Do you know how many readers will laugh at you if you shout it out like that?
Jun Changxiao knew the name Su Jintang, but since they were master and disciple, calling him Gou Sheng was definitely more intimate than calling him Jintang.
"Master!"
Su Xiaomo cried, "Why did you leave without saying goodbye back then? Did I do something wrong?"
F * ck.
This doesn't seem to be part of the script!
Jun Changxiao shook his head and said, "I've taught you everything I can. Whether you can achieve more in the future will depend on your own efforts."
"Back then, I was young and ignorant and ran away from home in the Su Family. If I didn't meet you by chance in the wilderness, I'm afraid I would have been fed to the ferocious beasts …" Su Xiaomo cried more and more as he left. He said, "So, I don't care about my future achievements. I only want to serve you for the rest of my life!"
The four elders of the Taixuan Shengzong fell silent.
A Half-Saint who practiced both sword and martial arts could be considered one of the top masters. Hugging his thigh was a wise choice.
If they had such a master when they were young, they definitely wouldn't have left.
Jun Changxiao said, "I'm used to living a carefree life. You'll only delay your future if you follow me."
"Patriarch!"
Su Xiaomo transmitted his voice, "Hurry up and help me up!"
"Swish!"
Jun Changxiao waved his sleeves, and a burst of spiritual energy instantly lifted him up. He said, "Judging from your clothes, you seem to have joined the sect?"
"Yes."
An elder hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Jintang is now an outer disciple of the Taixuan Shengzong!"
This kind of Half-Saint who practiced sword and martial arts must be polite, not to mention that he helped them resolve the crisis.
"Taixuan Shengzong?"
Jun Changxiao was silent for a moment before saying, "This Old Master has heard a little about this Sect. I even met Li Mu Ran once in the past."
The four elders' faces suddenly changed.
Even the Outer Sect Disciples widened their eyes.
Li Muran.
A senior master of the Taixuan Shengzong.
In terms of identity, the current Patriarch should be called Grandmaster!
"Amazing, amazing!"
Su Xiaomo secretly admired, "Patriarch is actually related to the deceased Taixuan Shengzong ancestor!"
Gou Sheng had done his homework on this first-class sect, so he naturally knew some well-known masters. The reason why he said Li Muran was that he was already dead, and they couldn't find him even if they wanted to.
"It turns out that senior and the deceased ancestor of the Taixuan Shengzong knew each other."
"Deceased?"
Jun Changxiao said in surprise, "Li Muran died?"
The elder said sadly, "Grand Elder couldn't pry into the higher level of martial arts and died of old age."
"Alas."
Jun Changxiao sighed and said, "When we met, he was only 30 or 40 years old. Now he is separated by life and death. It's really a pity."
Hearing his words, several elders secretly said, "Grand Elder was only 30 or 40 years old at that time? It seems that this person is not young! "
"My disciple's aptitude is not outstanding, but he has a strong mind and great perseverance. Please take care of him and give him more guidance in the future," Jun Changxiao said.
Taixuan Shengzong would definitely pay more attention to him. After all, he had a master who had reached the level of Semi-Sage and was a master of sword and martial arts. He had a strong background!
"Girl."
Jun Changxiao turned his head and said, "Although the sword art you just performed is elegant and flexible, there is a problem in the convergence of spiritual power. You must correct it as soon as possible, or it will hurt your meridians if you perform it too much."
Xia Shuiyun's bright eyes were full of astonishment.
She had been practicing a certain ice sword art of Taixuan Shengzong. Although she had comprehended it, she always felt that it was not smooth when she performed it recently, and it occasionally affected her meridians.
At first, she didn't care about it and even thought that she might not have fully grasped the sword art.
Now, after hearing Su Jintang's master's words, Xia Shuiyun suddenly realized that there was a deviation in her cultivation!
True martial artists didn't need others to go through the trouble of giving them a detailed explanation. Sometimes, just a single sentence would be enough to clear their doubts.
The four elders were shocked!
Su Gou Sheng's master was not only a Semi-Sage who cultivated both sword and martial arts, but he was also a top-notch martial arts master. He could see the shortcomings of other people's martial arts with just the naked eye!
Awesome!
Too awesome!
Use the Insight Talisman to understand.
Xia Shuiyun cupped her hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior!"
"Little Gou Sheng."
Jun Changxiao looked at Su Xiaomo and said, "Taixuan Shengzong is one of the top sects in Jianghu. Since you can enter the sect, it is a great opportunity. You must cultivate diligently in the future."
Su Xiaomo wiped away the tears on his face and said with a firm gaze, "This disciple will obey Master's orders!"
"The four of you."
Jun Changxiao said, "This old man still has to chase after that evil beast. In order to avoid harming any living creatures, I will take my leave first."
This sentence meant to tell the Taixuan Shengzong elders that he came to save them because he was coincidentally chasing after the spiritual beast.
"Master …" Su Xiaomo had just opened his mouth when Jun Changxiao had already left. He couldn't hold back his emotions and cried loudly, "This disciple will definitely not disappoint Master. I will definitely become an indomitable expert!"
There was no reply. Obviously, he had already left.
"An expert!"
After Jun Changxiao left, the four elders were still in shock. They were still thinking about the scene of the spiritual beast being chased away with just a glance!
Sun Yingquan quietly walked over and said in a low voice, "Gou Sheng, so you have such an awesome master!"
The other three outer sect disciples all looked at him with envy.
"Let's go back to the sect!"
The four Taixuan Shengzong elders were injured, and the appearance of the powerful spiritual beast and the beast horde had also disrupted their plans. Therefore, they didn't stop to bring the disciples back.
Of course, they also planned to inform the higher-ups of Gou Sheng's master as soon as possible.
"Xiao Mu."
On the mountain peak's boulder, Chang Xiao spread his legs and said with a disrespectful look, "This lord personally came out to help you put on a show. I should be promoted to an inner sect disciple soon."
On the way back to the sect, Su Xiaomo secretly admired, "The Patriarch's acting is still the best. Especially when he inadvertently gave Xia Shuiyun pointers on martial arts. He definitely brought the unworldly expert to life!"
Thinking about how The Purple King acted to the point that he almost couldn't take it, he felt a strong sense of disdain again.
This actor was too trashy!
"Gou Sheng."
Sun Yingquan leaned over and whispered, "This master of yours is definitely not an ordinary person. He even saved everyone. When you return to the sect, you will definitely be taken care of by the elders!"
"Uh..."
Su Xiaomo scratched his head and said, "I also didn't expect to meet Master on Golden Scale Mountain."
...
Taixuan Shengzong.
After Su Xiaomo returned, he entered the Spirit Qi Array to comprehend the array formation as usual.
In the main hall, the higher-ups had already started discussing after hearing about what happened on Golden Scale Mountain.
"Su Jintang's master is so strong? He's actually a Half-Sage dual cultivator? "Third Elder said in shock.
In terms of cultivation level, Wu Sheng was definitely stronger than a Half-Sage.
However, dual cultivation of sword and martial arts was originally slow. Even if he wasn't as good as Wu Sheng, he was definitely very impressive!
Since ancient times, the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth had gradually withered. The number of experts who had reached this level could be counted with five fingers!
The elder who personally experienced it said, "The aura that Gou Sheng's master released at that time clearly had the thickness of the Martial Dao and the sharpness of the Sword Dao. He's definitely a Half-Sage dual cultivator!"
"Old Man Jun Tian..."
Third Elder frowned and said, "I've never heard of such a person in the Falling Star Continent."
When they first learned about Su Xiaomo's master, they didn't pay much attention to it. They just thought that he was a recluse. Now that they knew his strength, they naturally had to treat him seriously!
"Third Elder."
That elder said, "Old Man Jun Tian and the young Grand Elder Li had the fate of meeting once."
"What?"
Third Elder and the others widened their eyes.
Li Mu Ran had been dead for hundreds of years. When he was young, he had to be at least a few years old. Old Man Jun Tian had the fate of meeting him once, which meant that he was an old expert!
"No wonder Su Jintang could advance by leaps and bounds in such a short time after becoming my Taixuan Shengzong's disciple. It turns out that he has such an outstanding senior master." Third Elder came to a realization.
Elder Sun said, "In my opinion, Old Man Jun Tian being able to save him is probably also on account of his disciple."
"That makes sense!"
Everyone expressed their agreement.
Recluse experts generally didn't get involved in the world. The chances of them saving someone when they were in danger were very low. So he definitely had a purpose for helping this time.
Could it be that he was telling them to treat his disciple well?
Third Elder thought seriously and said, "Su Jintang is one of the inner sect members this time. Does anyone have any objections?"
"No objections."
"Since there are no objections, it's settled. Also … Sixth Elder, arrange an independent courtyard for Su Jintang first."
"Okay."
…
On the same day.
Su Xiaomo moved into the courtyard.
In the Taixuan Shengzong, having one's own courtyard was definitely the treatment of an inner sect member!
After many outer sect disciples heard the news, they unanimously agreed that Su Jintang's promotion to the inner sect was already set in stone.
He was promoted to the inner sect not long after entering the sect, which immediately made many people envious.
"Patriarch."
Standing outside the courtyard door with the word "Earth" written on it, Su Xiaomo thought to himself, "This disciple is once again close to entering the inner circle of Taixuan Shengzong disciples."
The real reason he came to Taixuan Shengzong as a spy was to find out about Eldest Senior Sister and Fang Lingyu. But there was no way to find out from the outer sect. Only by entering the inner sect could he come into contact with them.
"En?"
Suddenly, Su Xiaomo turned his head and saw Xia Shuiyun standing at the entrance of the neighboring courtyard.
"Senior Sister, why are you here?"
"The place where I live."
Su Xiaomo was stunned.
He actually became neighbors with her.
Elder Wei, how did the situation change? I'm urgently waiting online!
…
Sect of All Times.
After hearing Li Luoqiu's report, Jun Changxiao smiled and said, "Looks like my identity as Old Man Jun Tian is quite useful."
"Patriarch."
Li Luoqiu didn't understand. "Xiao Mu is a spy in Taixuan Shengzong. Although he's getting better and better, what's the point?"
"There's a point."
Jun Changxiao said, "A top sect's foundation is still very strong. Only by getting better and better can one come into contact with more things. For example … some martial arts secret manuals that are very difficult to learn outside."
Li Luoqiu didn't understand. "Our Sect of All Times' martial arts aren't inferior to Taixuan Shengzong."
That was true, but the Technique Pavilion lacked all kinds of martial arts techniques. If Su Xiaomo could obtain more types of martial arts techniques from Taixuan Shengzong, wouldn't he be able to use them to make up the numbers?
Moreover, a top sect would definitely have a complete management system. If Su Xiaomo got into the core circle and sent information over, he could use it as a reference to make up for the shortcomings of the Sect of All Times.
Ever since Jun Changxiao became the leader of a sect, all his development methods were supported by the tools given by the System. To be able to reach his current level was equivalent to cheating. It was inevitable that he would feel a sense of emptiness.
If he could obtain information about management from a top sect and then use a method that was beneficial to him as a reference, it would be very practical.
Actually, the Taixuan Shengzong's inner and outer sect settings were much more professional than the Sect of All Times.
Not only did Jun Changxiao have plans to follow suit, he also decided to set up the inner and outer sect on separate peaks.
"Oh right."
"When will the Wind Patriarch send the ores over?"
"They're already on the way."
"Mm."
Jun Changxiao left the main hall and went to a few peaks to inspect.
The construction progress was very good.
The main hall of the Drizzle Hall on the Drizzle Peak had already been completed. There were also side rooms and rooms for the members to live in.
Li Qingyang's design philosophy had always emphasized man and nature. Therefore, the buildings were all surrounded by mountains and forests, appearing very otherworldly.
Of course.
For such a big project, the money was spent very quickly.
"Patriarch."
Li Qingyang held the list of bills and said, "Just the construction of the Drizzle Peak alone has already cost five million."
Jun Changxiao said, "Housing is an important thing in life. It doesn't matter how much you spend."
