Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal-Chapter 316 - 64: Weih Qiuxin: So What If I’m a Fake Pill Cultivator!
"This person, Xueying, you are extremely familiar with!"
"It’s Zhou Xun!"
"What, Zhou Xun, how is that possible?" Lin Xueying was full of disbelief.
After all, Zhou Xun was just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Although he excelled in alchemy skills and was accepted under Master White Cloud, his cultivation talent was rather ordinary.
Back when Zhou Xun joined the Pill Treasure Pavilion to test his Spiritual Root, she was present.
She remembered Zhou Xun’s Spirit Root talent was only twenty-one points of Wood Spirit Root.
Moreover, before you came to Golden Ape Valley, you personally visited Zhou Xun; at that time, he had just entered the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment.
And her master, Master Fengyue, was a genuine True Pill Cultivator, holding three magical treasures in her hand.
Even if confronted with a Middle-Stage Core Formation Cultivator, escaping wouldn’t be a problem.
Now, Master Yun Yi claims Zhou Xun killed her master, Master Fengyue.
It’s like an infant killing an adult; how ridiculous it is.
She absolutely refused to believe it.
Seeing Lin Xueying’s reaction, Master Yun Yi was not surprised at all.
After all, when he first received this news, his initial reaction was disbelief, let alone Lin Xueying.
So Master Yun Yi began recounting the events starting from when Master Fengyue volunteered to deal with Zhou Xun.
"That day, I received a letter from Junior Brother Yun’an, learning that Zhou Xun had annihilated Celestial Feather Sect infiltrating cultivators, which was quite worrying,"
"Such strength could potentially threaten our Cloud Light Sect’s rule over Xui Country!"
"Thus, Junior Sister Fengyue volunteered to deal with Zhou Xun."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xueying recalled her master asking her to write a letter to lure Zhou Xun out of Wangchuan Lake.
She also thought of the letter she wrote to Zhou Xun disappearing from her bedroom, instantly guessing her master’s means of dealing with Zhou Xun.
Nothing more than altering the content of her letter to lure Zhou Xun out,
Thinking of this, a wave of worry arose,
’Zhou Lang won’t be harmed, will he?’
"Afterward, Junior Sister Fengyue obtained the letter you wrote to Zhou Xun, using my Sealing Talisman to alter the letter’s content,"
"Luring Zhou Xun out of Wangchuan Lake, then taking action to kill!"
"After all, at that time, our impression was that Zhou Xun, though his combat achievements were remarkable, only relied on the array’s power; his own strength was not strong,"
"With Junior Sister Fengyue taking action, it would naturally be a piece of cake!" Master Yun Yi said, showing a bitter smile.
Paused for a moment, continued speaking.
"Who would have thought, a month after Master Fengyue left, I received a message from Junior Brother Yun’an,"
"The soul lamp belonging to Junior Sister Fengyue in the Soul Suppressing Hall shattered, which means she has fallen!"
Recalling this event, Master Yun Yi could not help but feel a twinge of pain, as the newly-promoted True Pill, capable of guarding the sect for hundreds of years, died due to his misjudgment.
"Even so, it doesn’t mean Master was killed by Zhou Lang!" Lin Xueying said indignantly.
"Indeed, after that, I went to Wangchuan Lake myself and happened to witness the phenomenon of Zhou Xun’s Core Formation breakthrough concluding!"
Master Yun Yi said, his thoughts returning to the scene of the day.
"Then, I fought Zhou Xun personally,"
"Unbelievably, although Zhou Xun was young and had just broken through to Core Formation, his strength was by no means inferior to mine!"
"For the sake of the sect’s future, I had to cease fighting, and both sides reconciled,"
"From his words, I also confirmed the fact that Junior Sister Fengyue fell by his hand!"
Hearing this, Lin Xueying was engulfed in complex thoughts.
"Master, why... why did you want to harm Zhou Lang!"
On one hand, she was happy that Zhou Xun survived and successfully broke through to Core Formation, yet on the other, she was unsure how to face Zhou Xun.
If not for Zhou Xun’s superb skills, it might have been Zhou Xun who died.
"If Zhou Lang thinks I’ve betrayed him, then what should I do!"
Thinking of this, her thoughts became chaotic.
Master Yun Yi, being perceptive, instantly saw through Lin Xueying’s thoughts, and his heart skipped a beat.
Lin Xueying wouldn’t get fixated, would she?
The relationship between her and Zhou Xun is crucial for maintaining the Cloud Light Sect’s legacy in the future, so he promptly comforted:
"Rest assured, Xueying, I have already explained to Zhou Xun that this matter has nothing to do with you!"
"Moreover, one of the conditions for this negotiation was for me to take you as my heir, to pass on Cloud Light Sect’s power to you in the future!"
"Alchemist Zhou is thinking about you so much, naturally he cares for you!"
Hearing this, Lin Xueying felt slightly relieved, but still thought of visiting Wangchuan Lake sometime to personally explain this matter to Zhou Xun.
"Indeed, you two grew up together; Alchemist Zhou naturally has feelings for you!" Master Jin Hong also kept persuading.
Seeing Lin Xueying’s expression ease, both of them exhaled and began discussing another matter.
"Xueying, your talent is rare in our Cloud Light Sect, especially now that Junior Sister Fengyue has fallen, your talents must not be wasted!"
"I have high hopes for you; from this day forward, you shall join my sect as an heir disciple, how about it?"
Master Yun Yi said, eyes fixed on Lin Xueying, a hint of tension appearing on his face.
Afraid Lin Xueying would utter any words of refusal.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xueying looked at Master Yun Yi and Master Jin Hong, nodding her head.
In her heart, this opportunity was fought for by Zhou Xun on her behalf, she naturally couldn’t disappoint Zhou Lang’s good intentions.
"It seems Zhou Lang still thinks about me!"
Thinking of this, Lin Xueying’s lips curled into a slight smile again.
"Senior Brother, Xueying’s apprenticeship is a significant event, and it cannot go uncelebrated. I think there’s no better day than today,"
"How about hosting the apprenticeship ceremony today at the Golden Ape Hall?"
At this moment, Master Jin Hong added from the side.
"Great, Junior Brother, this suggestion pleases my heart. Quickly notify all cultivators above Foundation Establishment in Golden Ape Valley, including fellow practitioners from Fengg Country, and leaders of major families,"
"Today I will establish an heir!"
Master Yun Yi nodded, thinking that this Junior Brother indeed knows how to handle matters. Unfortunately, the position of Grand Elder was meant for Lin Xueying, so he would have to compensate in other ways.
Under the orders of two True Pill cultivators, the efficiency of the cultivators was naturally very high.
In just a few hours, the entire Golden Ape Valley was beautifully decorated, holding Lin Xueying’s apprenticeship ceremony.
At the ceremony, Master Yun Yi personally admitted Lin Xueying as his last disciple and publicly established her as the heir.
She would take over the position of Grand Elder once Lin Xueying breaks through to True Pill.
After the ceremony, Master Yun Yi personally instructed Lin Xueying for a while and then arranged for two Fake Pill cultivators to escort her back to the sect.
...
Elsewhere, a tower ship of a hundred zhang in size slowly sailed from the horizon towards Wangchuan Lake.
On the ship’s deck stood many cultivators, with two leading figures. One was a stern-faced, authoritative middle-aged man.
This person was none other than Master Yun’an’s direct eldest disciple, Master Fengg Yuu of the Cloud Light Sect.
The other was a grey-haired elder, over sixty years old, Master Zong Yu Sunx Zongyi, Sunx Yuanque’s grandfather.
Sunx Yuanque was also in the team, albeit positioned further back.
Moreover, Yu Jiu’an, who once visited Zhou Xun, was also present.
All cultivators from Cloud Light Sect who had any connection with Zhou Xun were dispatched.
Their purpose was to transport the treasures of heaven and earth promised by Master Yun Yi.
"Grandfather, is it true that Alchemist Zhou broke through to Core Formation?"
"Indeed, and he condensed a High-Grade True Pill!"
Recalling the conversation with his grandfather, even now, Sunx Yuanque felt dizzy.
He was very familiar with Zhou Xun; they used to be friends.
Wasn’t he only at Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment? How did he suddenly become a True Pill cultivator, sitting alongside the sect’s ancestors!
They first met during Lin Xueying’s small Foundation Establishment celebration.
Back then, Zhou Xun was merely at Late-Stage Qi Refining, while he had already successfully established his foundation.
Now, decades have passed, and even though he has reached Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment.
How did Zhou Xun suddenly form a Core?
This makes him feel as though a friend he used to struggle with suddenly became successful.
This feeling is exceedingly complex.
"Junior Brother Sunx, Junior Brother Sunx!"
Suddenly, a voice beside him interrupted him. It was Li Zhengyuan, like Sunx Yuanque, a direct descendant of Master Fake Pill.
However, Li Zhengyuan had a High-Grade Spirit Root, which made him often look down on Sunx Yuanque.
"Oh, isn’t this Senior Brother Li? Looking for me?"
"Hehe, I’ve heard Junior Brother Sunx has strong ties with Elder Zhou!" Li Zhengyuan smiled, his expression even showing a hint of flattery.
Upon hearing this, Sunx Yuanque laughed heartily:
"Indeed, I met Elder Zhou when he was at the Qi Cultivation stage, later serving as a Sub-Residence Steward in White Cloud Immortal City, we often interacted,"
"Who would have thought Brother Sunx had such encounters, we should become closer in the future!" Li Zhengyuan said, cupping his hands.
Seeing Li Zhengyuan’s manner, Sunx Yuanque felt immensely pleased.
Yet, he was unsure whether Zhou Xun still recognized him as an old friend.
As he pondered, Wangchuan Lake came into view,
where Weih Qiuxin and her subordinates were already waiting.
Master Fengg Yuu glanced at the nearby Wangchuan Square, discreetly tossed a Sound Transmission Talisman, and then headed towards Weih Qiuxin and her group.
"Greetings to Master Fengg Yuu, Master Zong Yu, and fellow cultivators of the Cloud Light Sect!"
Weih Qiuxin stepped forward to greet first.
"After several years, Fairy Weih is as gracious as ever!"
To this Chief Steward of Wangchuan Lake, the two Fake Pill masters were exceedingly courteous, treating her as an equal.
They were aware that the rise of Zhou Xun with his High-Grade True Pill was unstoppable, and as Zhou Xun’s number one subordinate, Weih Qiuxin’s status was no less than theirs.
They certainly wouldn’t dare to be arrogant.
Meanwhile, Sunx Yuanque and other Foundation Establishment practitioners slightly bowed with half a fist, also cupping their hands in return, placing themselves in a lower position.
After all, since their elder Master Fengg Yuu treated Weih Qiuxin as an equal, how could they dare to be presumptuous!
"Masters, you are all too courteous. Please come inside, I have informed the Island Master!"
Weih Qiuxin said, gesturing towards the inside.
"Fairy Weih, after you!" Master Zong Yu graciously invited.
Then, the three flew together into Wangchuan Lake.
