Jun Wu Xie and company returned to Sōgō Gakuin School and went to the back of the mountain to chop down some trees and cut them. Then, they worked together and got busy.
They didn't stop until the sky turned dark.
They strengthened the pillars of the various houses, rebuilt the roof, repaired the doors and windows, surrounded the courtyard, and finally made a chicken coop.
It was already midnight when they were done.
They were sleepy and hungry, but no one wanted to move.
They slept until the next morning.
Jun Wu Xie forcefully pulled the two young Daoists and the young monk into the kitchen and taught them the most basic cooking skills before making some simple breakfast.
At that moment, the tightly shut door of the dilapidated Sect King's Hall finally opened.
Lord Alcohol walked out listlessly with a tired look on his face.
"Lord Alcohol, how's my sister?"
Jun Wu Xie threw down his bowl and rushed forward.
"She's fine. She'll wake up soon. From now on, I'll use my Quintessential Qi to suppress her every three days. She'll be safe for two months." Lord Alcohol was very tired as he sat down at the dining table and said, "But …"
"But what?"
Jun Wu Xie immediately became nervous again.
"Let's talk after I finish my meal."
Lord Alcohol ignored him. Like a reincarnated hungry ghost, he commented as he ate. "Kid, your culinary skills aren't bad. From now on, you'll be responsible for all our three meals a day."
Jun Wu Xie was rendered speechless.
He went to the main hall and carried Little Yueyao back to the room that had been decorated and covered her with a blanket.
Seeing that Lord Alcohol was almost done eating, he walked out and stood by the side to wait.
Uncle Bird arrived late and sat down at the table. He said to Xu Daoling and the Void Little Baldy, "It's time to officially cultivate today. The two of you go to the back of the mountain and wait. I'll come after breakfast."
After the two of them left, Lord Alcohol put down his bowl and chopsticks. His expression turned solemn. "Kid, let me ask you. How much do you know about your sister's condition?"
"Not much." Jun Wu Xie felt guilty. "About ten days ago, she fell into a coma. Only then did I know that she had fire poison and cold poison in her body …"
"Then do you know where the fire poison and cold poison came from?"
"Maybe it has something to do with her physique?"
Lord Alcohol looked at him in surprise and said, "Looks like you really don't know?"
"Know what?" Jun Wu Xie was taken aback before he reacted. He hurriedly asked, "Lord Alcohol, do you know the source of my sister's illness?"
"This old man is not a doctor. I don't know how to treat illnesses. I'm just forcefully suppressing the fire poison and cold poison in her body with my zhenqi. How would I know the cause of the illness?"
After Lord Alcohol said that, he fell silent for a moment. He slowly stroked his beard and said, "Your sister might not be what you see now."
"Lord Alcohol, what do you mean?" Jun Wu Xie looked at him in puzzlement. "Why does it sound a little weird?"
Lord Alcohol looked at him and said, "What I want to say is that your sister shouldn't be like this. Recently, she may have some unusual changes, but these changes are normal. When the time comes, you don't have to worry or feel strange. "
"Good or bad?"
Jun Wu Xie became nervous.
Lord Alcohol said, "According to the situation itself, it shouldn't be bad. But to you, I can't determine whether it's good or bad. Only you can judge for yourself."
"Lord Alcohol, can you be clearer?"
"I can't." Lord Alcohol shook his head. Seeing that Uncle Bird had already put down his bowl and chopsticks, he said, "Go. Cultivate with Qianshan."
Jun Wu Xie wanted to ask more, but he was forcefully dragged away by Uncle Bird.
"Is it a method or a bloodline?" Lord Alcohol looked at Jun Wu Xie's departing back as shock gradually suffused his face. He muttered to himself, "But be it a certain someone's method or her bloodline's self-preservation reaction, it confirms the legends in the ancient books …"
"Or perhaps … both? Silly kid, you still think that she's really your sister. In fact, I'm afraid … However, you aren't simple either. What secret does the Xiao family of Azure Sun City have? Perhaps it has something to do with your mother who disappeared many years ago?
"If you can find a doctor who can extend her life within two months, perhaps you will be able to see the real her in the near future …"
After Lord Alcohol finished speaking, his gaze was fixed on Jun Wu Xie's room. The little girl shrouded in fog was sleeping inside.
…
Back mountain.
A huge waterfall flowed down from the peak of a mountain hundreds of meters high, like the Milky Way pouring down.
When Jun Wu Xie followed Uncle Bird here, the young Daoist priest, Xu Daoling, and the little baldy, Emptiness, immediately came forward to welcome them in high spirits.
"Uncle Bird, do you have some profound cultivation technique or martial technique to impart to us?"
The two of them were very excited, their faces filled with anticipation.
However, Uncle Bird shook his head and said, "Our Sōgō Gakuin School only has sword arts and sword techniques. They're not suitable for the two of you."
"What?" Xu Daoling and Emptiness were dumbfounded. "We're not a sword sect. How can we only have sword arts?"
"You're wrong. Our Sōgō Gakuin School is a sword sect to begin with."
Uncle Bird immediately explained the origin of the Sōgō Gakuin School.
So, the Sōgō Gakuin School and the Daiga Ken Sect were actually from the same sect?
Thousands of years ago, the founder of the Sōgō Gakuin School came from the Daiga Ken Sect.
Back then, the founder was an inconspicuous disciple. He wasn't valued in the Daiga Ken Sect. He was even expelled by the sect's upper echelons when he was bullied and humiliated by his fellow sect members. His dantian and True Qi were crippled.
After leaving the Daiga Ken Sect, he was hunted down by his fellow sect members.
However, the founder wasn't destined to die. Not only did he escape the pursuit, but he also obtained an opportunity and embarked on the path of body cultivators.
"So, the founder is a dual cultivator of body and sword?"
When Jun Wu Xie heard this, he was shocked. He didn't think that the founder of the sect would have such a life experience. Moreover, he was a body cultivator just like him.
"That's right." Uncle Bird nodded and said, "You should now understand why the upper echelons of the Daiga Ken Sect didn't accept you after they found out that you were a dual cultivator of body and sword. Even though you passed the Stairway of Heavenly Swords, they wanted to kill you, right?"
Jun Wu Xie couldn't help but sneer, "It seems that they hate the founder to the core. I presume that after the founder returned, he killed many people from the Daiga Ken Sect, right?"
"No, the founder didn't take revenge because the Daiga Ken Sect treated him unfairly. The founder felt that the Daiga Ken Sect used to be his sect after all. After he returned, he didn't take revenge. Instead, he established the Sōgō Gakuin School. "
"Of course, the founder didn't just let it go. He demanded that the Daiga Ken Sect hand over the culprit from back then, and that matter would be considered over."
"And the result? Did the Daiga Ken Sect hand over the culprit?"
Xu Daoling and Kong Xu asked.
Jun Wu Xie said, "They definitely didn't hand it over. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any grudges later."
"That's right." Uncle Bird said in a low voice, "Not only did the Daiga Ken Sect not hand over the culprit, but they also targeted the Sōgō Gakuin School. This completely infuriated the founder. However, at that time, with an expert like the founder holding down the fort, how could the Daiga Ken Sect have the upper hand? In those years of resistance, they suffered heavy losses. "
"It's a pity …" Uncle Bird's eyes were filled with grief. "The founder died in his prime. He seemed to have known that his time was coming, so he prepared a coffin for himself in advance. Before he died, he buried himself in the coffin and left a will, forbidding anyone from opening the coffin, touching his body, or investigating the cause of his death …"
"The person who harmed the founder back then later became the guardian of the Daiga Ken Sect. He suppressed the Sōgō Gakuin School to the point of madness. We couldn't defeat the Daiga Ken Sect, and until today, we have declined to this point."
"Is that person still alive?"
Jun Wu Xie asked.
"No, but his descendants are now the ones who control the power of the Daiga Ken Sect."
"He Jianyun?" Jun Wu Xie was shocked. "He's the descendant of that person back then?"
"Yes." Uncle Bird said, "He Jianyun is the grandson of that person back then."
"No wonder the Daiga Ken Sect is so crazy under his leadership, and the methods they used on the disciples of the Sōgō Gakuin School are so outrageous!"
Jun Wu Xie finally understood the ins and outs of the grudges between the two sects. The Daiga Ken Sect wasn't a good person from the beginning. The founder didn't do anything wrong to them, but they didn't want to let him go. They wanted to trample the founder under their feet.
"Uncle Bird, they're talking about the female corpse on the sword stele …"
"Cough!"
Jun Wu Xie hurriedly interrupted them.
