Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 107 - 99: Settling Down [4000-word Mega - ]_2

"I'm fine with anything; I'll be wherever big brother is."

Lu Qingyu replied without hesitation.

Lu Qingfeng heard this and, guessing the reply, turned his head to look at Qing Shan, who was sitting quietly on the side, "What are your thoughts?"

"Big brother."

"I—"

Lu Qingshan hesitated.

"What are you hesitating about? Just go ahead and say it."

Lu Qingfeng said with a frown.

Qingyu was sitting to one side.

"I want to enter Luoxia Sect for cultivation," Lu Qingshan said softly.

All this time, he followed behind his big brother, whether it was about cultivation techniques, spells, elixirs, or magic artifacts, he didn't need to worry about a thing.

Although this was a blessing many cultivators could only wish for, Lu Qingshan was after all a 26-year-old youth. Always living under his brother's wing, he too wanted to go out and fly on his own, to prove himself.

Qingyuan Sword Sect was his first step in trying this.

Though it had only been two to three years, Lu Qingshan enjoyed those days managing a sect. Or rather, he enjoyed an independent life where he could embody his own value.

Not as 'Lu Qingfeng's younger brother'.

This was the case in Upper Sun Country.

Coming to Biyang Lake Territory, he hoped to change his ways within the Luoxia Sect.

"Alright."

"When the time comes, tell Senior Sister Miaoyin or Senior Brother Miaofa yourself; joining Luoxia Sect shouldn't be difficult." Lu Qingfeng, realizing Qingshan's intentions, felt an indescribable sense of loss but understood this was a necessary part of growing up.

A fledgling eagle must one day face the abyss and the storm, taking flight on its own.

Taking charge of everything was not necessarily a good thing for Lu Qingshan.

"Big brother—"

Lu Qingshan looked at his big brother, his expression complex.

"It's all right. However, we are newcomers; we must be careful with everything. Being kind to others is good, but don't be too naive. You've been in the Returning to Truth Sect for a few months, and I trust you can handle this well."

Lu Qingfeng patted Qingshan on the shoulder and laughed.

"Thank you, big brother."

Lu Qingshan bowed his head, feeling a discomfort that was hard to express.

Lu Qingyu's eyes were going back and forth between his big brother and his second brother, seemingly sensing something, but he pursed his lips and did not speak.

...

Lu Qingfeng and the other three arrived at Jinyun Peak in the morning and settled down by noon. For the entire afternoon, there was no sign of the Brother and Sister Yue Miaofa and Yue Miaoyin. It was not until near evening that the two of them came side by side.

Yue Miaoyin had changed into a white long robe, extremely similar to the one Yue Miaofa was wearing.

This was the Luoxia Sect's uniform, and the white robes represented the status of Foundation Establishment Elders.

It appeared that Yue Miaoyin's return to Luoxia Sect had been settled, and her status was now official.

"Sorry, I've just returned; there were too many trivial matters, which made Junior Brother wait for a long time." As soon as Yue Miaoyin arrived, she apologized.

"Senior Sister is being too serious."

"Congratulations, Senior Sister, on returning to Luoxia Sect."

Lu Qingfeng stepped forward and congratulated her with a bow.

Yue Miaoyin forced a smile, seemingly not in the best of moods, and then briefed on the afternoon's events.

In short, the sect inquired about her whereabouts over the years. With a Foundation Establishment and Body Tempering Realm great-aunt as her support, no one in Luoxia Sect dared to make things difficult for Yue Miaoyin, and her Elder status was quickly confirmed.

And thus, Lu Qingfeng's guest elder status was also finalized.

"Tomorrow morning, I will take Junior Brother to meet the Sect Master and the three Supreme Elders," Yue Miaoyin hurried on her way, not staying long at Lu Qingfeng's, briefing him on the matter of the Guest Elder and then left with Yue Miaofa.

There were many things to deal with just having returned to the Luoxia Sect. She had only made time for this short visit, as there were important matters to attend to in the evening.

Lu Qingfeng understood.

The next morning.

Yue Miaoyin arrived on time, took Lu Qingfeng with her to Bo Wang Platform to meet the four top-ranking figures of the Luoxia Sect.

Luoxia Sect, within the Biyang Lake Territory, was only the least conspicuous small sect.

In such a sect, spread out over the thirty-six million li of Biyang Lake, they were numerous, like the stars in the sky. Due to the vastness of the territory, medium sects and top immortal sects cannot cover all areas; hence, many small sects have sprung up everywhere.

Those with Spirit Void True Cultivators sitting in them fared well, able to stand tall for hundreds or even thousands of years. With good fortune, they might even have one or two Core Formation True Men rise up, promoting them to a medium sect.

Some don't even have Spirit Void Stage masters, daring to establish a sect at the Foundation Establishment Stage, struggling in the dust, with most breaking down after a hundred or even just dozens of years.

The Luoxia Sect belonged to the former.

It has been four hundred years since the sect was founded, and strictly speaking, it is currently only the second generation. The previous Sect Master, who is also the Founding Master of the Luoxia Sect, was initially a loose cultivator. After advancing to the Spirit Void Stage, he came to Jinyun Peak and opened the Luoxia Sect.

At that time, the Ancestor Master was already five hundred and eighty years old.

The Luoxia Ancestor had average aptitude for cultivation, and was still wandering in the Divine Silence Realm before his death. However, his ability to teach disciples and manage the sect was not mediocre. In just over two hundred years, he taught quite a few Foundation Establishment disciples, securing a firm foothold for the Luoxia Sect in the Juyun Mountain Range.

Before his ascension, even more fortunately, one disciple advanced to the Spirit Void Stage, maintaining the prosperity of the Luoxia Sect.

This Spirit Void Stage disciple is now the current Sect Master of the Luoxia Sect—Zhou Yuan.

On the Bo Wang Platform, four monks in black robes trimmed with gold stood. All four of them appeared old, with the leading person having silver-white hair that hung down like satin ribbons, long and sleek at the temples, but with a rosy complexion and the appearance of a youth, nothing less than that.

He had a style all of his own.

This person was Zhou Yuan.

The other three people were the three Supreme Elders of the Luoxia Sect.

Beneath the four, a sea of red clouds rolled like a piece of brocade. Standing on the Bo Wang Platform, it was as if they were standing above the clouds, truly extraordinary.

"Sect Master, the three Elders, this is Elder Lu."

Yue Miaoyin took Lu Qingfeng to Bo Wang Platform, and after bowing to the Sect Master and the three Supreme Elders, she introduced him.

"Junior greets the four seniors."

Lu Qingfeng showed respect as befitting someone of junior status.

He separated gaming from reality clearly. Even though he had cultivated to the Spirit Void Fusion Realm in "Primordial," perhaps even above Zhou Yuan, and had killed a Core Formation Demon King, in reality, he was only at the Sixth Layer of the True Qi Realm, a mere loose cultivator in need of a patron.

Naturally, he had to adjust his attitude.

"Elder Lu is too polite."

Before the Sect Master Zhou Yuan had a chance to speak, one of the Supreme Elders, an old woman with gray hair at her temples, smiled approachingly at Lu Qingfeng, "It is Luoxia Sect's good fortune that Elder Lu has joined us. In the days to come, we are family. Miao Yin mentioned that Elder Lu excels at Alchemy and Artifact Refining. You will probably be troubled with requests from the sect's disciples and elders for Elixir Pills and Magic Artifacts in the future."

"Elder Lingxi is too kind; this is what I should do."

Prior to arriving, Lu Qingfeng had been informed by Yue Miaoyin and he recognized the old woman speaking in front of him as Yue Miaoyin and Yue Miaofa's great-aunt, Elder Yue Lingxi, a Supreme Elder of the Luoxia Sect.

Yue Miaoyin once said that with her great-aunt to protect him upon arriving at the Luoxia Sect, Elder Lingxi proved to be kind as expected and spoke of Lu Qingfeng as one of their own from the moment she opened her mouth, clearly indicating closeness.

It seems, apart from Lu Qingfeng's own abilities in Alchemy and Artifact Refining, it was also due to the fondness for Yue Miaoyin.

The other two Supreme Elders, named Mei Qingyan and Han Shan, nodded and smiled when they saw Lu Qingfeng. A Junior Rank Alchemist and Artifact Refiner was not someone anyone would deliberately snub; making good relations with him was the righteous way.

The Sect Master of Luoxia Sect, Zhou Yuan, in a black robe with a benevolent face, resembled Maitreya Buddha when he wasn't speaking, his hand stroking his silver-white beard, wearing a smile on his face.

After Elder Lingxi had finished speaking, he finally opened his mouth and said, "There are not many rules in the Luoxia Sect. Once Elder Lu joins, I will have someone announce it throughout the sect immediately. There is no suitable cave dwelling for alchemy and artifact refining on Jinyun Peak; Elder Lu is free to pick a spot to open up his cave dwelling."

Zhou Yuan's voice was warm, making one feel like being bathed in the spring breeze.

"Thank you, Sect Master."

Lu Qingfeng thanked him upon hearing this.

And so.

He had found a footing in the Luoxia Sect.
