C151 Qingfeng
"But in order to not let others take advantage of you and chase you out of the Purple Sun Sect, you must work hard to cultivate my Purple Sun Sect's supreme Pure Yang Art. If your Pure Yang Art does not reach the third level, you must not take even half a step out of Qingfeng, do you understand?"
"Understood, Master." Lin Long nodded.
"This Pure Yang Art is the supreme cultivation technique in this world. It is simply incomparable to the cultivation techniques you practice. Therefore, do not underestimate this Pure Yang Art. If you learn it well, it will be beneficial to you for the rest of your life." Li Yiming said again.
Even though Li Yiming and Xuan An Zi were of the same generation, he had never experienced trials and tribulations like Xuan An Zi; therefore, the fifty year old him only looked like he was in his forties.
He had a round face and a slightly plump figure, but it was unable to conceal his cultivation at the middle stage of the Martial Lord Realm.
When he mentioned the Pure Yang Art, Li Yiming's face couldn't help but reveal a proud expression.
With regards to his knowledge, Lin Long was very clear. After all, the Purple Sun Sect was one of the top sects in the Great Yue State, and its Pure Yang Art was extremely useful. Under such circumstances, it was understandable that they would look down on other arts and think that the Pure Yang Art was a top tier skill.
"Disciple understands." Lin Long said again.
Of course, Pure Yang Art could not compare to his Dantian recording, but in terms of cultivating Pure Yang Qi, there was a unique side to it, so Lin Long's answer was not false.
To be honest, even if he didn't want to come to Purple Sun Sect, he would look for an opportunity to study this Pure Yang Art.
Therefore, Li Yiming's request was naturally fitting of his intentions.
Dantian recording covered everything, so even if he cultivated an additional Pure Yang Art, there would not be any rejection. It might even have a promotive effect, so Lin Long was not worried that there would be any problems if he cultivated more Pure Yang Art.
"Right." Seeing that Lin Long was acting like he was a child to be taught, Li Yiming nodded his head in satisfaction.
After taking a sip of tea, he said, "It seems like your second senior brother and the others have already gathered the others to gather in the hall. Let's all head out together."
Following that, Lin Long followed Li Yiming out of the study and into the hall.
He saw that there were fifteen and sixteen youths and young girls standing in the hall. They were originally discussing something, and the moment they saw him and Li Yiming walk out, they immediately shut their mouths.
His mouth was shut, but his eyes were still sizing up Lin Long behind Li Yiming, as if he was extremely curious.
Lin Long realized that most of these people looked to be older than him, probably around one to three years older than him. Only one of the young girls seemed to be around his age.
Right. This was the only girl amongst them.
After arriving in front of these people, Li Yiming frowned, and asked unhappily: "Where is your senior brother?"
"Reporting to Master, the Eldest Senior Brother went on a mission. I guess he won't be back for at least half a month." Someone quickly replied.
"Forget it." Li Yiming's brows loosened up a bit, then he pointed to Lin Long who was standing beside him and said, "From now on, he is your junior brother. As senior brothers and sisters, you should take care of him more."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young girl asked with some surprise, "Dad, am I really going to be a senior sister now?"
Presumably, she had always been a junior-apprentice sister among these people, and the sudden appearance of a Junior-apprentice Brother made her feel somewhat surprised.
"The Purple Sun Sect is ranked according to the seniority of those who have entered the sect. Our Qingfeng is naturally no exception." Li Yiming said.
"That's great." The girl immediately laughed happily.
She had two dimples when she smiled. She was originally pretty, but this smile could not hide her liveliness and youth.
"Haha, junior martial sister finally has a junior martial brother."
"Congratulations, junior sister."
"Youngest junior apprentice-brother, this senior apprentice-sister of yours isn't easy to deal with. You have to be careful."
For a time, the others were all teasing him.
"This is Lin Long's first time here, I hope that he can receive the care of all the fellow Senior Brothers and Sisters." Lin Long slightly smiled, and then, he cupped his fists and said.
"Junior Apprentice Brother Lin, you're welcome. It's only right that we take care of each other."
"Junior brother Lin, my name is Li Dalong, I'm your second senior brother."
"Junior brother Lin, my name is Zhang Cheng. I'm your third senior brother."
After the men finished introducing themselves, it was now the turn for the junior sister. She smiled and said to Lin Long, "Junior brother Lin, I am Li Muling."
"Alright, now that you have all met, I wonder which one of you would like to help your Junior Brother Lin familiarize himself with our Purple Sun Sect and train in our sect's martial arts?" Li Yiming said at this time.
Just as these senior brothers looked at each other, a clear and melodious voice rang out, "Father, leave it to me."
"You?" Li Yiming's voice contained a trace of surprise.
"Master, let my junior sister take responsibility."
"Yes, master. It's rare for a junior to be bullied by her."
"Little Junior-apprentice Sister's strength has grown by leaps and bounds. For her to teach Junior Apprentice Brother Lin is the best."
At this time, the senior brothers all spoke up.
It was very obvious that they, who were unable to take care of themselves, did not even want to take care of this hot potato, Lin Long.
Of course, to Lin Long, he was the same as anyone else, because he, who had once been a Martial Emperor, didn't need them to teach him.
"Alright then, Mu Ling, I'll leave Lin Long with you, but don't bring him along into trouble, and also, you must follow this rule. If your junior hasn't trained to the third stage of the Pure Yang Art, you definitely cannot take even half a step out of Qingfeng." As he finished speaking, Li Yiming's face became extremely serious, and didn't even seem like he was joking at all.
"Got it." Li Muling pouted.
As these chores were all done by the outer sect disciples, there was no need for the new Lin Long to worry about such things.
And for those outer sect disciples, these chores were simply a beauty job. Who knew how many people would break their heads wanting to get such a job in the sect.
This was because if they could enter the inner sect of Purple Sun Sect, even if they could do tasks that were useless for cultivation, it would be beneficial for their future cultivation.
After all, Lin Long was different from them, he came to the Purple Sun Sect halfway through. It could be said that there were very few people like him in the entire Purple Sun Sect, because the Purple Sun Sect was extremely strict in managing such matters. If not for the relationship with Xuan An Zi, it would be impossible for Lin Long to enter the Purple Sun Sect through such means.
Lin Long had already come up with an excuse he wanted to give. Adding his calm expression, no one would suspect anything.
After closing up his meal, Li Muling took out a book from Li Yiming's study and pulled Lin Long away.
With just a glance, Lin Long could tell that the words "Pure Yang Art" were written on the book.
It was unknown whether it was because it was his first time teaching others or because this Junior Brother was Lin Long, but in short, Li Muling's mood was extremely high.
However, Li Muling did not immediately teach Lin Long the Pure Yang Art.
From what she said, the Purple Sun Sect has at least a thousand years of history. There are currently five mountain peaks within the sect: Purple Sun Peak, De Wu Peak, Lingxiang Peak, Everlasting Peak, and Qingfeng. Each mountain peak is considered a lineage of the Purple Sun Sect.
Amongst them, the Purple Sun Peak was the main peak, and was presided over by the Purple Sun Sect's Sect Leader, Shen Zhongyang. The other peaks were arranged in order, Qing Feng could be said to be the weakest amongst them, and his disciples were also the weakest among them.
There were at least a hundred disciples in the other peaks, and only Qing Feng had about ten people.
After listening to Li Muling's general introduction, Lin Long could not help but ask, "Other than the Sect Leader and a few big heads, are there any other powerful warriors in the sect?"
The purpose of Lin Long's visit was to obtain the spirit flames in the Demon Suppressing Pagoda. Naturally, he wanted to understand the sect's strength.1
"Of course there are. Law Enforcement Elder, Elders, Cabinet, and so on, there are five of them. Other than these elders, there are also the Great Clan Elders whose strength has already surpassed the Martial Lord Realm. It's just that we don't know what level they have reached." Li Muling immediately said as if he knew everything.
"Oh." Lin Long nodded, after hearing what Li Muling said, he had a rough understanding of the Purple Sun Sect's power and influence.
From the looks of it, the difficulty of obtaining a spiritual flame without anyone knowing was extremely high.
"I heard that there is a Demon Suppressing Pagoda in the sect. I wonder what kind of place it is?" Lin Long asked.
To the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, it was the same for the people outside. Some said that the inside was suppressing the strong demons, while some said that the inside contained the Purple Sun Sect's supreme divine tool violet sun sword, but none of them mentioned that there was spirit fire inside, making him unable to figure out the direction.
"I heard that this Demon Suppressing Pagoda was attacked by a powerful demon when the Great Ancestor was establishing the sect. The Great Ancestor used an absolute art to control and kill this demon, but this demon soul is actually indestructible. In order to suppress this demon and spread the might of my sect, the Great Ancestor used the Demon Suppressing Pagoda to suppress this demon at the bottom of the tower, supplemented by powerful rune arrays, this demon will never be able to rise again." Once the topic of Demon Suppressing Pagoda was brought up, Li Muling began to speak with excitement once again.
"I heard that there's an Overgod artifact violet sun sword in the pagoda. I wonder if that's true?" Lin Long asked again.
"Although there is no conclusive evidence, it is still true that people from the sect can absorb Pure Yang energy from the training in the pagoda. Therefore, there is a high chance that the violet sun sword are located in the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, but over the years, no one has been able to find them in the pagoda." Li Muling said.
Lin Long had heard of this violet sun sword's mighty name in her previous life. The person who had obtained it in the future had relied on it to kill experts of a higher level than him, so it was obvious that this violet sun sword was not ordinary.
If the violet sun sword was truly in the pagoda, then wouldn't it be great if he could pull it along with his spirit fire into his bag? Lin Long couldn't help but have this thought.
