A phoenix fire descended from the sky. When the fire dissipated, two silhouettes appeared. The one in the lead was holding a folding fan. She was Wanxiang Celestial Palace's first disciple, Ji Fengming.
Behind him was a man dressed like a scholar. He looked a little younger, but his bearing was also extraordinary. His face was clear and handsome, and his eyes were faintly shining. He carried a guqin on his back as if he was carrying a sword. He had the air of a distinguished young master, but it was a pity that he was wearing a washed and white Confucian robe, diluting his elegant charm.
"Oh, Brother Ji, why are you here?" Mu Zixuan's eyes lit up.
Ji Fengming smiled, "If I didn't come, I would have missed a great event." Then, he cupped his hands and bowed to the Clear Mountain Sect Leader, "Junior Ji Fengming greets the Clear Mountain Sect Leader. It is the world's fortune to have a pillar like Clear Mountain Sect Leader to fight against the Six Paths Evil Destroyer."
The Clear Mountain Sect Leader was embarrassed. Who could compare to Wei Wushuang in fighting against the Six Paths Evil Destroyer? Back then, he killed Di Lingtian. Now, he was personally guarding Mount Qingcheng and suppressing the Yin Yang Crack. Those who contributed were at the front while those who didn't contribute were at the back, raising the flag and beating the drum, choosing the Alliance Leader on their own. Although there was a reason for this, now that Ji Fengming was here, it didn't look good for them.
Luckily, Ji Fengming didn't seem to mind it. The Clear Mountain Sect Leader shook his head, "Martial Nephew Ji, you flatter me." Then, he bowed to Ji Fengming with a solemn expression.
Ji Fengming was shocked and tried to help him up, "Clear Mountain Sect Leader, what are you doing? You're too kind. "
The Clear Mountain Sect Leader stopped him, "Don't move. This bow is for your Master."
The Clear Mountain Sect Leader gathered his vital energy and bowed. Although Ji Fengming wanted to help him up, she felt that his vital energy was as deep as the ocean. She exclaimed in her heart, "As expected of the Ling Xiao Sword School's sect leader. In terms of vital energy, he isn't any weaker than Master."
After the bow, the Clear Mountain Sect Leader said, "If it wasn't for Palace Master Wei mending the sky, the whole of Sichuan would have become a ghost town. How would we have the time to stay here? This kind of contribution was worthy of this bow. Now that Palace Lord Wei has stepped forward to block the Yin and Yang Realms, if there's anything you need us to do, please let us know. We will do our best to support you. "
Ji Fengming smiled helplessly. "Sect Leader Qing Yue, you're exaggerating. However, I'm here today to trouble you with three matters."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Clear Mountain Sect Leader asked.
"This … First …" Ji Fengming's words were at the tip of her tongue, but she found it difficult to speak.
The zither-bearing scholar who had come with Ji Yunshu saw the situation and said, "If Brother Ji finds it inconvenient, then allow me to speak on your behalf. I am Xu Tingxian of the Splendid Scholarly House. I pay my respects to everyone."
"Oh? So it's the number one young master of the Confucian Sect, Young Master Zither and Sword. I've heard a lot about you! "Mu Zixuan's eyes lit up. Everyone else also turned their attention to him.
Among the three sects, the Confucian Sect was the strongest in the secular world and had the greatest influence. All of the officials in the imperial court were disciples of the Confucian Sect, but they were quite rare in the cultivation world. Among the ten great sects, only the Splendid Scholarly House was made up of Confucian cultivators.
However, although the number of Confucian cultivators was small, there was an endless stream of talents. Young Master Zither and Sword, Xu Tingxian, was one of the most outstanding ones.
The term "young master" was a common title in other places, but it was a supreme honor in the Splendid Scholarly House. Only those who had mastered the Six Arts of Gentlemen before the age of twenty and completed the trials set by the Six Arts Lord could be crowned with the title of "young master".
Not only did Xu Tingxian pass the trials of the Six Arts and become the only "young master" of the Confucian Sect in the present age, but in the "Music" trial of the Six Arts, his song "Listening to the Waves of the Pines" caused the entire audience to fall silent. Afterwards, the Music Lord burned his own Phoenix Tail Zither on the spot and left behind a few words: "Since the sounds of nature may be heard by the zither, how can the human world tolerate the cries of crows and sparrows?" To be able to cause the Music Lord, who was proficient in musical instruments, to degrade himself as a crow and sparrow, Xu Tingxian's attainments in the zither could be imagined.
Several months ago, Xu Tingxian had subdued the Music Lord with a single song and was bestowed the title of "young master". Everyone in the world was extremely curious about him. Today was the first time he had appeared in front of everyone.
Xu Tingxian modestly smiled and said, "The number one young master of the Confucian Sect? I'm afraid it's only been a few years. My juniors are all extraordinary people. Sooner or later, they will have a share of the title of young master. "
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mu Zixuan then asked, "I wonder what advice Young Master Xu has come here for?"
Xu Tingxian had an embarrassed expression on his face as he said, "I don't dare to give advice. It's just that I had previously offered seven Moon Spirit Pearls as a gift to congratulate Si Tiantai on his new foundation. Now, I have no choice but to shamelessly ask Brother Mu to return the Moon Spirit Pearls!"
It was indeed impolite to ask for back a gift that had already been given. Mu Zixuan couldn't help but ask, "I wonder why Young Master Xu is asking for the Moon Spirit Pearls?"
Even though Ji Fengming and Mu Zixuan were old friends, they couldn't be disrespectful in front of everyone. She explained, "It's not that Young Master Xu wants the Moon Spirit Pearls, it's that my master needs them. Even though the crack between Yin and Yang has been sealed by my master, the power of one person is limited. The seal is only temporary. Fortunately, after half a year, the earth energy that was destroyed in Mount Qingcheng has gradually recovered. To prevent any accidents from happening, my master wishes to borrow the earth energy of Mount Qingcheng to completely seal the crack between Yin and Yang in one go. He needs a hundred and eight Moon Spirit Pearls as a tool, but after searching for a long time, he still owes seven pearls. Coincidentally, he heard that Young Master Xu had obtained seven Moon Spirit Pearls, so he sent a letter to ask for them. Unexpectedly, he was one step too late. The Moon Spirit Pearls had already been gifted to Brother Mu by Young Master Xu as a congratulatory gift.
Helpless, he could only shamelessly look for Young Master Xu and ask him to return the pearls. "Mu Zixuan smiled and said," What's so difficult about that? If I can help Palace Lord Wei, it's worth it even if I have to empty Si Tiantai's treasury. " She then summoned a disciple. A moment later, the disciple returned with a wooden box. Mu Zixuan opened the box. The seven pearls were arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper and distributed on a piece of yellow silk. It was extremely beautiful.
"Young Master Xu, please take a look. Are these the pearls?"
Xu Tingxian nodded in confirmation. Mu Zixuan then raised her hand and placed the wooden box into his hands. She said, "If that's the case, I'll return them to you."
Xu Tingxian said, "Many thanks. I owe Si Tiantai a gift. I'll definitely make it up to him in the future." He then handed the box to Ji Fengming and said, "Senior Martial Brother Ji, I'll leave it to you. I'll take my leave first. Everyone, farewell!" He then prepared to leave.
Mu Zixuan said, "Young Master Xu, why are you always in a hurry? Since you're here, you should allow me to do my part as a host."
Xu Tingxian shook his head and said in a resentful tone, "No, I don't know where a junior martial brother who came with me has disappeared to. I need to find him. In one word, it's troublesome!"
The Clear Mountain Sect Master saw that Xu Tingxian was still young and his junior martial brother was even younger. He expressed his goodwill and said, "You may need I to send someone to look for him. The Path of Heavenly Arrival is no longer as peaceful as it was in the past. Even if the disciples of the Confucian Sect have great skills, they are still young. If they encounter someone from the Six Paths, I'm afraid they'll be deceived and used."
"Deceived him?" Xu Tingxian laughed softly and said, "Ha, thank you for your good intentions, Clear Mountain Sect Master. However, I'm afraid there aren't many who can deceive this junior martial brother of mine." He then cupped his hands and left.
After he left, Mu Zixuan said again, "This matter isn't worth your personal visit. What are the other two matters?"
Zhang Guanqing also complained, "That's right. Even though the Moon Spirit Pearl is rare, if you entrust the Exquisite Treasure Pavilion to purchase it, we can gather all one hundred and eight pearls in half a month. Moreover, we'll only charge the cost price at most. If Young Master Ji doesn't come to us for help, then you're treating us like outsiders."
Ji Fengming shook her head and said, "If we ask the Exquisite Treasure Pavilion to purchase it, it'll be hard to avoid too many mouths. It'll be bad if the people from the Six Paths hear about it."
"Then Young Master Ji isn't afraid of too many mouths?" Zhang Guanqing asked.
"Time is limited, and it's urgent. I can't care too much!" The smile on Ji Fengming's face gradually became serious.
Mu Zixuan immediately understood. Her expression changed as she said, "There's movement from the World of Spirits and Souls?"
Ji Fengming nodded and said, "That's right. The World of Spirits and Souls seems to be aware of our movements. They're now rushing to break the seal set by the Master. At least three days, at most seven days, they'll break the seal. Now, we need to compete with the World of Spirits and Souls to see if the Underworld Realm's evil spirits will break the seal or if we completely seal the Yin and Yang Crack first. We'll know in a few days." Once she said this, everyone's expression changed. The Underworld Realm was led by the Demon of Spirits and Souls and developed for a hundred years. Their strength was not to be underestimated. When they ambushed and massacred the people of Taoism, they obtained a large number of good souls from cultivators. Later, they broke the seal of the Celestial Master Zhang Daoling and gained three thousand evil spirits. Even though they lacked top-notch masters, their strength was enough to shake the world. If they broke the seal, it would certainly be a bloodbath.
Ji Fengming then continued, "Therefore, the second reason I'm here is to discuss with those who are good at sealing formations. Please lend us a hand in sealing the Yin and Yang Crack."
As Ji Fengming spoke, she looked at the Clear Mountain Sect Master. The Clear Mountain Sect Master knew that everyone was following his lead. He said, "Everyone should contribute to sealing the Yin and Yang Crack. This is what we should do. If everyone is willing, please go ahead."
"Following the Alliance Master's order, Li Hanguang is willing to go to Mount Qingcheng to help Palace Lord Wei." Li Hanguang took the lead and stood out.
Miao Daoist also spoke, "I also know how to write a sealing formation. If it's useful, please let me know!"
Knowing the importance of this matter, the others also stood out. In a short while, almost half of the people present were willing to help.
"Thank you all for your kindness!" Ji Fengming expressed her gratitude. She exchanged glances with the Clear Mountain Sect Master. After getting his tacit approval, she said, "There's no time to lose. Please go to Mount Qingcheng first. I'll catch up later."
Si Tiantai was not far from Mount Qingcheng. For cultivators, they could go back and forth in half a day. Everyone agreed and immediately set off. Each of them used their own divine arts and left. For a moment, Si Tiantai appeared to be much more spacious.
Seeing that Ji Fengming let the others go first while she stayed behind, Mu Zixuan knew that it must be because of the third matter. She asked, "What is the third matter?"
Ji Fengming said, "Brother Mu, please lend me a secluded room in Si Tiantai. Clear Mountain Sect Master, I'd like to borrow someone from your sect."
The Clear Mountain Sect Master raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh, who is it that Martial Nephew Ji wants to borrow?"
