Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality
Chapter 161: Visit from the Five Elements SectThe flying boat of the Land of Gold Commerce sailed through the clouds, passing through a layer of clouds. The guests were sunbathing on the deck, enjoying this moment of tranquility.
Suddenly, a huge shadow enveloped the guests.
They looked up in surprise to find an exceptionally large flying boat appearing overhead.
The flying boat of the Land of Gold Commerce was already considered very large, but in front of this vessel, it seemed as tiny as an infant. freewebnovel.cσ๓
The exterior of this flying boat was adorned with colorful gems that shone brightly, clearly not ordinary items.
“Whose flying boat is this?” people whispered among themselves, having never seen such a gigantic flying boat before.
Some observant individuals noted, “Look at the insignia on the side of the flying boat. This is a flying boat of the Five Elements Sect!”
“Five Elements Sect?”
People had only heard of the Five Elements Sect by name and rarely saw the Five Elements Sect traveling, especially in such a grand manner.
“Could it be that some unparalleled demon has appeared, requiring the elders of the Five Elements Sect to head out together to eliminate it?”
In the world of cultivation, the reputation of the Five Elements Sect was more than a notch above that of the Dao Seeking Sect.
“Looking at the direction, are they going to the Dao Seeking Sect?”
“Are they going to eliminate a great demon, or are they visiting the Dao Seeking Sect?”
…
“Our purpose for this journey is to eliminate those demons and ghosts of the Dao Seeking Sect, to show them the might of our Five Elements Sect!”
On the flying boat of the Five Elements Sect, the Sect Master Qiu Jin’an inspired the crowd: “Last time it was my mistake in decision-making. I forgot Yun Zhi was a disciple of Daoist Non-Speaker, eligible to compete, so our Five Elements Sect lost a minor battle!”
“But this time it’s different. I’ve confirmed that the kid Daoist Non-Speaker has disappeared, and Yun Zhi has officially become the acting Sect Leader, making her my equal and no longer participating in activities meant for disciples!”
“This is our chance! Without the threat of Yun Zhi, the Dao Seeking Sect is nothing!”
“We have endured hardship for this day’s victory, for the honor of the Five Elements Sect!”
Qiu Jin’an was determined to redeem themselves, to strut in front of the Dao Seeking Sect, he even specially brought the most luxurious flying boat of the sect, just to show off in front of the Dao Seeking Sect.
On the flying boat, each talented disciple, handpicked by the Five Elements Sect, listened to Qiu Jin’an’s speech, their eyes ignited with the fire of combat.
They were all talents selected by the Five Elements Sect, each with their strengths, and unique insights into the five elements spells, rarely meeting their match among peers.
They had been taught by their elders from a young age that when going on missions, they should try to avoid dealing with people from the Dao Seeking Sect, as they were very difficult to handle and could not be understood with common sense.
Every youth has a rebellious heart, and finally having the chance to confront the Dao Seeking Sect, they were determined to make a splendid show to let the Dao Seeking Sect know what talent means.
Among them were disciples who had participated in the previous exchange but only Yun Zhi had made a move then, not truly showcasing the overall strength of the Dao Seeking Sect. They knew very little about the Dao Seeking Sect and felt this was an opportunity to showcase themselves.
A bright-eyed young girl, looking at Qiu Jin’an with a burning gaze, clenched her fist and shouted, “For the honor of the Five Elements Sect!”
Her words, like a stone dropped on a calm lake, rippled through, eliciting a response from the disciples of the Five Elements Sect.
“For the honor of the Five Elements Sect!”
“For the honor of the Five Elements Sect!”
Seeing the girl, Qiu Jin’an’s expression changed dramatically: “Why are you here? You’re not on the visitation list!”
The girl feigned anger: “Why can’t I come? It’s such a rare opportunity to come to the Dao Seeking Sect, and you didn’t include me in such fun!”
“Describing a visit to the Dao Seeking Sect as ‘fun’ is inappropriate; it should be considered dangerous!” Qiu Jin’an corrected the girl’s logic.
Some younger disciples, unfamiliar with the girl, sent a telepathic message to their Senior Brother: “Senior Brother, who is she?”
“All I know is that her name is Shangguan Yu. Her background is unclear. She has been by the Sect Master’s side even before I joined the Five Elements Sect. There are rumors that she was favored by the previous Sect Master, supposedly the illegitimate daughter of the previous Sect Master and the Sect Master’s half-sister from a different mother. The Sect Master indulges her actions quite a bit.”
Nearly arriving at the Dao Seeking Sect, Qiu Jin’an couldn’t possibly send Shangguan Yu back, and it was highly likely she wouldn’t listen to him anyway.
Rather than lose face in public, it was better for him to step back.
While they were speaking, the flying boat arrived at the entrance of the Dao Seeking Sect and docked nearby.
In front of the Dao Seeking Sect’s gate, the acting Sect Leader Everlasting Fairy and the eight elders had already hung up a banner welcoming the Five Elements Sect.
Qiu Jin’an led his people off the boat, a faint, knowing smile on his lips as he observed the Dao Seeking Sect’s reactions.
Certainly, the people of the Dao Seeking Sect had never seen such a luxurious flying boat.
The Grand Elder stepped forward to greet Qiu Jin’an, extending his hand, but just as Qiu Jin’an was about to shake it, the Grand Elder said, “Docking fee.”
The Grand Elder wasn’t there for a handshake but to charge a fee.
Typically, when leaders of the Five Great Immortal Sects visit each other, they would construct objects like mist and clouds with their own mana, which would dissipate upon reaching their destination, very convenient. Rarely do they arrive in flying boats like Qiu Jin’an did.
Such a large flying boat docked in front of the Dao Seeking Sect’s gate would undoubtedly incur a charge; this wasn’t a free parking or docking area.
“I am here representing the Five Elements Sect,” Qiu Jin’an said with a heavy voice.
The Grand Elder pondered for a moment, finding Qiu Jin’an’s argument reasonable: “Then we’ll give you a 20% discount.”
Taking a deep breath, Qiu Jin’an decided to be magnanimous, not wanting to squabble with the Dao Seeking Sect’s eccentrics.
The docking fee for Qiu Jin’an’s ostentatious flying boat was tens of times that of ordinary boats, making Qiu Jin’an’s heart bleed.
But the thought of soon flaunting his prowess at the Dao Seeking Sect made him overlook this minor detail.
Then, Qiu Jin’an saw the Dao Seeking Sect people and the banner hung overhead.
The welcome for the Five Elements Sect couldn’t have been more grand; the banner was personally written by an immortal, a second of its kind couldn’t be found in the world.
Yellow Bean, although seeming unserious, had excellent calligraphy skills. The characters on the banner, flying and dancing, were very imposing.
The banner’s message was simple, “Welcome Five Elements Sect,” but it was not in contemporary script.
Qiu Jin’an squinted, recognizing it as ancient script. Was the Dao Seeking Sect flaunting their cultural heritage?
Ridiculous, did they not know he had once been obsessed with the ancient era and studied its culture extensively?
Qiu Jin’an smiled and uttered a series of obscure and difficult words in the language of the ancient era, understood by only a few.
While traces of ancient era script could still be followed, its pronunciation was much harder to grasp, or perhaps impossible to understand, since while scripts could be passed down, their pronunciations could not.
This was a remnant sound he accidentally discovered at a relic site, which, judging by the arrangement of surrounding objects and surviving texts, seemed to be a worship site for ancient immortals who enjoyed the process of being worshiped.
The sound, grand and ancient, likely praised the priests and others after enjoying their worship, which Qiu Jin’an found very fitting for the current situation.
This also explained why the sound could be passed down, because it was the voice of an immortal.
Lu Yang quietly asked Everlasting Fairy, “What is Sect Master Qiu saying?”
Everlasting Fairy looked puzzled, “His accent is so thick, I can’t understand clearly. It sounds like he’s saying, ‘Great immortals, please accept the most humble offerings from your servant.’”
“Does he recognize my identity?”
The source of this is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
Everlasting Fairy was somewhat pleased, finally, someone recognized his identity as an immortal, and the attitude was very humble, much better than Yun Zhi and Lu Yang.
He decided to appoint him as the Vice Sect Leader of the Undying Sect.
Qiu Jin’an, noticing the confused expressions of everyone, nodded in satisfaction, thinking, You don’t understand what I’m saying, do you?
