Shen Xu smiled and nodded. "You and the Amethyst Mountain are connected by fate. After such a long delay, it's good that you didn't miss it!"
Yu Qing smiled sweetly. "Junior Brother Chu, we're a family from now on. Congratulations!"
"What's Senior Sister Yu Qing's name?" Chu Li smiled.
Yu Qing replied, "Mo Qingyu."
"Why is Senior Sister Mo here?" Chu Li looked into the house.
Mo Qingyu smiled. "Junior Brother Chu, are you looking down on me?"
Chu Li replied, "Not really. I just feel that it's too unfair to Senior Sister Mo. How can a Amethyst Mountain disciple stay in a place like this?"
Mo Qingyu shook her head and smiled.
Shen Xu said, "Chu Li, now that you've entered the sect, you should know that the Amethyst Mountain has twelve peaks, and each peak has its own unique martial arts. There are all kinds of cultivation methods, and most of them cannot be cultivated on the mountain. This is the fundamental difference between the Amethyst Mountain and the other three sects."
Chu Li nodded thoughtfully.
Shen Xu said, "Disciples of the Ethereal Peak have the Ethereal Heavenly Heart. They need to be able to see through people's hearts and have a unique understanding of their evil and unpredictability. Only then can they understand the Ethereal Heavenly Heart. The disciples of the Ethereal Peak are the best at hiding their cultivation level. Mo Qingyu's Ethereal Heavenly Heart is only a small success, yet you can still sense something off about her. Her qualifications are indeed very suitable for the Amethyst Mountain!"
Chu Li smiled. "Senior Sister Mo is not here just to cultivate, right?"
Mo Qingyu pursed her lips and smiled. "Of course, I'm also here to accumulate merits to cultivate the martial arts of the other eleven peaks."
Shen Xu said, "You can cultivate the martial arts of all twelve peaks, but other than this peak, the heart techniques of the other eleven peaks require sufficient merits to cultivate."
Chu Li pondered. "I'm a disciple of the Nature Peak now. If I want to cultivate the Ethereal Heavenly Heart, I have to accumulate enough merits?"
This system was a great stimulus for the disciples. They could not bury their heads in cultivation, they had to contribute to the world.
"Yes." Shen Xu nodded. "But other than the Phantom Yin Peak, all disciples can cultivate the martial arts of the Phantom Yin Peak. It's almost the representative martial arts of the Amethyst Mountain. Everyone has to cultivate it."
"The martial arts of the Phantom Yin Peak are the strongest?"
"The martial arts of the Phantom Yin Peak are the weakest among the twelve peaks, but they are also the easiest to master." Shen Xu shook his head and sighed. "The martial arts of the other eleven peaks have always been difficult to cultivate. Now that the Spiritual Qi has dispersed and the world has changed, it has become even more difficult. Fortunately, we have the Phantom Yin Peak."
Mo Qingyu smiled and said, "Take my Misty Peak's Misty Heavenly Heart Mantra for example. If you don't have talent, you won't be able to master it even if you practice hard for a lifetime. Once you've mastered it, the human heart will become the heavenly heart, and you won't be disturbed by the outside world. You'll be able to advance very quickly when you practice martial arts, and your brain will become more and more useful.
Chu Li asked, "How does Senior Sister Mo accumulate credit?"
"Junior Brother Chu, you're from the Secret Guardians Hall, of course you know." Mo Qingyu cast a sidelong glance at him. "The customers of the Verdant Cloud Brothel are either rich or of high status. The information they provide is hard to come by."
"This information is just scratching an itch through my boots. It's not that important." Chu Li shook his head.
The truly important news would not be reported to the Verdant Cloud Brothel. Instead, they would usually hide in the secret rooms at home. However, these could be found out by the Secret Guardians Hall.
Therefore, the information that Mo Qingyu gathered was not that important. It was difficult to gain credit.
Mo Qingyu smiled. "I'm also in charge of finding talented disciples to recommend to the sect. I'm also in charge of inspecting them. In short, I have many things to do, so I don't have to worry about having nothing to do."
Chu Li asked, "Does the sect have any goals?"
Shen Xu shook his head and sighed. "There's only one goal now, and that is to surpass the Tempest Temple!"
"Enlightened Master?" Chu Li asked. "The sect wants to create an Enlightened Master?"
"Yes." Shen Xu nodded. "You're one of our hopes. You're able to suppress Fa Yuan, and you have unique qualifications. You're most suitable to cultivate the martial arts of the Phantom Yin Peak. If you train well, you might be able to defeat Fa Yuan in the future and take back your position as an Enlightened Master!"
Chu Li shook his head and smiled. "You think too highly of me."
Shen Xu said, "As long as there's a sliver of hope, the sect will put in a lot of effort. Otherwise, why would they be so accommodating to you? … I've been in the Verdant Cloud Brothel for a few days and carefully investigated your information. I didn't expect you to come by yourself. If you didn't come, we would've taken the initiative to look for you in two days. It's obvious that you're fated with the Amethyst Mountain. You're born to be a disciple of the Amethyst Mountain! "
"What a coincidence." Chu Li smiled and nodded slowly. "I know how to use my heart!"
If it were not for Xiao Qi's firm state of mind, he would not have thought of cultivating the Nature Restoration Manifestation, nor would he have taken the initiative to look for Mo Qingyu. Therefore, the wonders of the world really frightened him. He felt as if there was an invisible hand manipulating him. Heaven's will was unpredictable.
The sect wanted to create an Enlightened Master, and he wanted to become one as well. Both of their goals were the same. Previously, he only wanted to learn the Nature Restoration Manifestation, but now, he had gained more recognition from the Amethyst Mountain.
He turned his head and smiled. "Senior Sister Mo, we're a family from now on. We have to help each other."
Mo Qingyu pursed her lips and smiled. "I'll have to rely on you, Junior Brother Chu."
Chu Li shook his head. "Let's help each other."
Shen Xu said, "The Amethyst Mountain has two basic rules. The first is that disciples of the same sect are not allowed to kill each other and must help each other. The second is that the martial arts of the Amethyst Mountain are not allowed to be taught to outsiders. There are no other rules. Let your Senior Sister explain it to you in detail. I'll teach you the heart technique today."
Chu Li said, "Senior Shen can just stay in the Imperial Residence."
Shen Xu shook his head. "You're a disciple of the Hidden Sect. Don't let anyone discover your identity. I've stayed here for a while, and it's time for me to leave, lest something unexpected happens."
Chu Li did not say anything else and nodded.
Mo Qingyu said, "Master's Junior Shen, Junior Brother Chu, let's go to the quiet room at the back."
She personally led the two of them out of the living room and into a room at the back of the courtyard. Then, she left.
It was a very narrow room. Apart from a bed, there was nothing else in the room. It was clean and tidy.
"There's no need for an induction ceremony. You just have to swear to abide by the rules of the Amethyst Mountain," Shen Xu said.
Chu Li obeyed and swore an oath, then looked at him seriously.
Shen Xu's expression was serious. He said, "The Nature Restoration Manifestation is different from normal martial arts. It's actually a technique of deduction."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Shen Xu continued, "This technique is difficult to learn, and the difference in power is like heaven and earth. Some people, after mastering it, have shocking power. They can see through opportunities and are invincible. Some people, after mastering it, can barely avoid danger."
Chu Li was even more curious. What kind of mystical technique was this?
"Everything comes from one element, and everything returns to one element. Everything comes from the heart. Every word and action, every movement and every stillness, are all driven by the heart. They are all the things in the heart." Shen Xu's expression was serious.
Chu Li frowned. "Could it be the Buddhist Mind Reading?"
If that was the case, there was no need for him to learn this. His Omniscient Mirror had this ability, which could point directly to the heart.
