Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 114 - 105 Lunfa Peak [6th Update, Subscription Request!]

The sun rises in the east.

At Lunfa Peak of Luoxia Sect, it was already bustling with people.

Various deacons arrived early to maintain order, while disciples, clad in either gray or white robes, gathered in small groups, most faces flushed with excitement.

The triennial minor competition is considered a grand event within Luoxia Sect.

It was an opportunity to witness many of the sect's experts competing in combat rules, not only splendidly, but also a chance to personally step onto the platform and compete with fellow disciples. If by chance one continuously emerged victorious, the Sect and the Elders would offer extremely generous rewards.

Both fame and benefits were to be had.

The Elders and the Sect Master would appear last, presently, it was only the disciples' entrance.

At the summit of Lunfa Peak, a vast platform had been artificially created for the purpose of combat disputations, equipped with a prohibition spell, available for disciples to measure each other's capabilities.

Lu Qingshan, wearing a white robe uniform, walked shoulder to shoulder with several fellow disciples.

"I heard that Elder Lu will also come to watch this minor competition. I wonder what Elder Lu will provide as a reward for the competition," a young man about twenty years old next to Lu Qingshan spoke.

This man, with a rugged face, was called 'Zhang Ye' and had been in the sect for over ten years. Zhang Ye was quite talented, having already reached the True Qi Realm Sixth Layer and was currently breaking through to the Seventh Layer.

Since Lu Qingshan joined Luoxia Sect for cultivation, Zhang Ye has been one of the few fellow disciples whose temperament matched his own. Aside from Zhang Ye, Qian Yunhai and Feng White present also got along well.

The four of them formed a small group, often completing sect missions together, with close friendships. Among them, Lu Qingshan was at the True Qi Realm Third Layer, Zhang Ye at the Sixth Layer, while Qian Yunhai and Feng White had advanced to the Late-stage True Qi Realm a few years earlier, one at the Seventh Layer, the other had reached the Ninth Layer realm.

In this major competition, Feng White of the True Qi Ninth Layer was highly favored.

"Among the Elders of the sect, originally, Elder Zhang Cheng, Mo Han, and Gu Qin were the ones who were most generous. Elder Zhang Cheng is an Artifact Refiner, while Elder Mo Han and Elder Gu Qin are Alchemists, providing mostly practical rewards of Elixir Pills and Magic Artifacts."

"Elder Lu excels in both Alchemy and Artifact, and reached the Second Rank in both two years ago, making a name for himself throughout the Juyun Mountain Range. It is said that even the spirit birds bred at Silver Horn Mountain are fed with Spirit Pills. Last year, the Iron Feathered Flying Eagle and the immortal crane under Qingyu Immortal both underwent the Foundation Establishment Thunder Tribulation and achieved the Third-rank, drawing in many Elders possessing spiritual beasts to seek Elixir Pills."

"The rewards for this minor competition will definitely not disappoint!"

While speaking, Qian Yunhai leaned towards Lu Qingshan and whispered sneakily, "Brother Lu, do you have any insider information to share?"

Lu Qingshan, being the biological brother of Guest Elder Lu Qingfeng of Silver Horn Mountain, was a fact not universally known within Luoxia Sect but was also not a secret.

Those who were friendly with Lu Qingshan naturally knew this information.

Now talking about Lu Qingfeng, they asked Lu Qingshan for some insights.

"I don't know."

"It's been a while since I last went to Silver Horn Mountain. But the Sect Master and the Elders will be arriving soon, and we'll see then."

Lu Qingshan shook his head.

After joining Luoxia Sect, except for visiting Silver Horn Mountain every three months to meet his elder brother and Qingyu, unless his brother summoned him, he rarely went there of his own accord.

His last trip to Silver Horn Mountain was two months ago.

Regarding what his elder brother would offer as a reward for this minor competition, he truly had no idea.

"Oh, is that so?"

Qian Yunhai looked somewhat disappointed and did not pursue further.

The four then briefly moved on from talking about Elder Lu Qingfeng and started discussing some of the hot favorites in this minor competition.

Their cultivations were not weak, and all disciples of the True Qi Realm could participate in this triennial minor competition. Those who turned into deacons after forty years old could not participate, but those who had advanced to the Late-stage True Qi Realm before the age of forty, there were quite a few.

These disciples, though not very likely to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage before the age of forty, were skilled in techniques and had many tricks up their sleeves, making them the strongest competitors in the minor competition.

As they discussed, time slipped by.

Luoxia Sect disciples gathered at Lunfa Peak, whether they were new or had been members for years, none wanted to miss this grand event. Together with the deacons, over a thousand people assembled at the peak's platform.

The area at the top of Lunfa Peak was large enough that even with a thousand people gathering, it did not seem crowded.

At this moment.

"Hiss!"

From the southwest direction of Lunfa Peak came the cries of eagles and cranes.

Everyone looked up, only to see two black dots in the distance growing larger and revealing their true forms.

It was none other than Lu Qingyu standing on an immortal crane and Lu Qingfeng standing on the back of an Iron Feathered Flying Eagle.

Like celestial beings, the two rode spiritual birds arriving swiftly, and in a moment, they landed on the high viewing platform of Lunfa Peak. This was the best spot to observe the combat below on the Combat Platform, arranged with more than a dozen chairs, designated for the Sect Master and the elders of Luoxia Sect to attend the ceremony.

At this moment, there were no other elders on the platform, only Lu Qingfeng and Lu Qingyu.

"It's Elder Lu!"

"Elder Lu from Silver Horn Mountain!"

"It's so rare for Elder Lu to arrive this early; this is truly unusual."

"Beside Elder Lu, isn't that his sister, Qingyu Immortal? The fact that she arrived riding an immortal crane really puts all the female disciples of our Luoxia Sect to shame!"

"That's natural. Elder Lu is unrivaled in both Alchemy and Artifact, and though he hasn't been in the sect for long, his stature is considerable. Even the Sect Master and the three Supreme Elders hold him in high regard. Qingyu Immortal, who cultivates with Elder Lu on Silver Horn Mountain, is well-provided with Elixir Pills and Magic Artifacts, the white crane she rides is a Third-rank Spirit Bird, not something ordinary people can compare to."

…

The arrival of Lu Qingfeng and Lu Qingyu on celestial birds caused quite a stir on Lunfa Peak.

In recent years, Lu Qingfeng of Silver Horn Mountain had become quite renowned. His fame spread even outside Luoxia Sect, not to mention within the sect itself.

Two years ago, Lu Qingfeng intentionally demonstrated his skills as a Second Rank Alchemist and Artifact Refiner, gaining even more significance within Luoxia Sect.

After his Iron Feathered Flying Eagle and white crane advanced to the third rank, their strength became comparable to a Foundation Establishment Elder of Luoxia Sect.

Not just the three Supreme Elders, even Sect Master Zhou Yuan regarded Lu Qingfeng almost as an equal.

Disciples of Luoxia Sect were very interested in both Lu Qingfeng and Lu Qingyu, though the two often cultivated at Silver Horn Mountain year-round.

Lu Qingyu was somewhat more visible, sometimes seen traveling between Silver Horn Mountain and Jinyun Peak on her white crane.

But this Elder Lu was truly low-profile and mysterious. Aside from the elders, the number of Luoxia Sect disciples who had seen Lu Qingfeng's true face could be counted on one hand.

He was arguably the most mysterious elder in Luoxia Sect.

Seeing him now naturally ignited fiery enthusiasm.

"You're early."

Lu Qingfeng, observing the bustling top of Lunfa Peak, glanced at Lu Qingyu with a hint of a smile.

"Coming early isn't a bad thing."

Lu Qingyu turned her head.

She had been looking forward to the Lunfa Peak contest since last night and was pressing Lu Qingfeng to leave early this morning. At this moment, the disciples had just gathered at Lunfa Peak, and the Sect Master and elders were supposed to arrive in about half an hour.

Isn't it early?

"Alright, alright."

"I'll sit here and wait for a while, go find your second brother."
