Chapter 1 The Young Lady
Chapter 1 The Young Lady
In the third month after Su Buxing transmigrated, she decided to start writing a diary because she was in a good mood.
"Today I joined the Wind Spirit Sect's Small Farm Peak. People called me an idiot because I can't beat them, so I endured it. But I won't hold it against them, because this place where I can freely farm, grow vegetables, and raise small animals is simply my dream peak!"
"That tip popped up again today, and then I pulled up a 500-year-old ginseng while pulling up a radish. So I promptly killed a chicken, made soup, and added too much salt. This tip seems to work pretty well."
"This place is truly wonderful! My master is often in seclusion, and I've always been alone. My idyllic farmhouse dream has actually come true after I transmigrated here! But what's with that constant warning that a catastrophe is coming and I need to prepare..."
"The weather's nice today, I'm thinking of digging a fishpond to raise fish. That's all."
"Alright, let's start digging."
"Writing a diary isn't as fun as digging, I'm not writing anymore."
……
Ding~~
Amidst the melodious tolling of bells, the clouds and mist surrounding the Fengling Sect swirled, and several figures could be seen flying out from the clouds on swords.
A crane flew past a man with feminine features, circled around him, and then left after a moment.
That man was Su Buxing.
Unlike before, when she would smile gently at the crane, she frowned instead.
The main problem is that the notification came again...
[Please note that the sow in the pigpen will give birth in one hour.]
It wasn't text, nor did it sound; it was just a prompt.
Such a prompt has existed ever since Su Buxing transmigrated here. Most importantly, whenever such a prompt appears, two other things are bound to happen.
One reason is that if he does this, there's a chance he'll get something good.
However, rather than saying that the prompt makes him do something, it's more accurate to say that the prompt appears whenever Su Buxing wants to do something.
That's weird!
But just like a few years ago when I faced the fact that I had traveled through time with equanimity.
what! ?
crossed!
Oh, OK.
such.
Su Buxing faced this matter calmly.
Su Buxing's strong adaptability is probably one of his advantages.
Another one is: "[Catastrophe is imminent, are you prepared?]"
Ding~~
Another melodious bell rang out.
Su Buxing looked up and saw that the clouds and mist had dissipated, revealing a magnificent palace standing atop the mountain.
The main hall of the Fengling Sect.
It's important that the pig is about to give birth.
But since we were suddenly called to gather like this, we had no choice but to go.
So Su Buxing was thinking about finishing quickly so he could go back and prepare.
As for the talk of an impending catastrophe, we've heard it too many times. Besides, just by looking around, there are spirit beasts and birds in the sky and on the ground, and cultivators traversing the sea of clouds.
What kind of catastrophe could it be?
"Junior Brother Su."
At this moment, someone called out to Su Buxing.
Su Buxing turned around and saw a middle-aged man riding a sword to his side.
Su Buxing looked at the man and immediately said, "Old Chang."
The man named Chang Ren waved his hand and laughed, "You little rascal, I told you to call me senior brother, but..."
Chang Ren squinted at Su Buxing and sized him up: "Uncle Zhao allowed you to go to the main hall looking like this?"
Su Buxing looked down at himself. He was dressed in coarse linen clothes, with the sleeves rolled up and his trouser legs muddy. He looked like he had just come out of the fields.
But the truth is...
At that time, Su Buxing was indeed tidying up the vegetable garden when he suddenly received a telepathic message saying that each peak should send someone to the main hall. The message didn't say anything, just that each peak must send one person.
There were only two people on Xiaonong Peak where Su Buxing lived: his master and himself.
Master went into seclusion to break through and attempt to reach the Golden Core realm.
The only option is for him to remain unconscious.
Su Buxing sighed helplessly, "I was in such a rush that I didn't have time to change my clothes, and besides... do you know why this is? I have to go? Da Hua'er is about to give birth, and I have to rush back to prepare."
Big Flower was the name of that old sow.
Chang Ren, who frequents Xiao Nong Feng whenever he has free time, naturally knows this.
But he hesitated, his face full of helplessness, looking at his junior brother whose expression had suddenly become serious.
He met this junior brother Su when he was traveling. Seeing that he had the aptitude for cultivation, he brought him to the sect to participate in the entrance examination.
Unexpectedly, he directly chose that small farm peak...
It's not that Xiaonong Peak is bad, after all, it's also a peak of the Fengling Sect. But the main problem is that Xiaonong Peak really doesn't have much to cultivate. Nowadays, the peak master, Uncle Zhao, is someone who doesn't really manage things and just likes to drink tea and daydream every day.
As for this junior brother Su, after entering the peak, he was never seen cultivating. He was always either carrying a hoe or a rake, or herding chickens and cattle and sheep in the mountains.
Some people say that this junior brother Su is wasting such a good-looking face and talent.
He had also advised this junior brother Su.
Unexpectedly, this Junior Brother Su, after fiddling with the ground, uttered a profound and enigmatic statement: "Turning the soil three inches deep is the beginning of Qi Refining."
It sounds impressive at first glance, but looking at this Junior Brother Su, who has only been practicing for three months and has barely reached the first level of Qi Refining...
What else can be said? It's clear that their ambitions are not focused on cultivating immortality.
However, Changren knew that everyone has their own ambitions and pursuits, so he didn't say anything more.
The words "cultivating immortality" simply mean freedom.
But it's fortunate that not many people know about this kid, otherwise he would probably be ridiculed to no end.
Looking at Su Buxing, he instructed, "Remember, once we get inside the hall, hide behind me. Don't let the officials in charge of the Enforcement Hall see you like this. And especially remember, you absolutely mustn't mention your old sow, Big Spotted Pig!"
Seeing that Su Buxing was about to speak, Chang Ren answered the question from before: "Today's summons is because the entrance examination has ended. There are quite a few people with extraordinary qualifications, so we summoned the people in charge of each peak to let them choose which peak they want to join."
Su Buxing was puzzled. "It doesn't seem to have anything to do with Xiao Nong Feng. Can I go back?"
Chang Ren glanced at the crowd gathered in front of the main hall, pretending not to hear Su Buxing's words, and said in a low voice, "Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. You've only just arrived and there are many things you don't know yet. Take these people for example, each one is a potential cultivator. Our aptitude may seem good, but compared to them, we are nothing. So the rules that apply to us don't apply to them."
Su Buxing pouted, "When did I ask you that..."
Chang Ren looked at Su Buxing mysteriously and said, "And look how many people came today, don't you think..."
The two landed and blended into the crowd in front of the main hall.
Su Buxing also looked around.
There are a lot of people.
Judging from their posture, they're clearly waiting for something.
But looking at Chang Ren, he said, "Old Chang, get to the point."
Chang Ren glared at Su Buxing and said mysteriously, "They're all here to see that Miss Zhi."
Su Buxing asked curiously, "The eldest daughter of the Zhi family?"
Having been here for so long, Su Buxing naturally had some understanding of this world.
This world is vast, and there are many countries like the Great Xia he is currently in. In addition to the nine major sects of immortal cultivation, there are also large and small immortal cultivation families within the Great Xia.
However, there were too many families, and Su Buxing had no interest in remembering them all.
Chang Ren did not answer Su Buxing immediately, but asked some people around him about some things. He learned that the peak masters of all the major peaks and their personal disciples were in the main hall, and that the young lady of the Zhi family was also there.
Chang Ren glanced in the direction of the main hall, feeling somewhat regretful, but there was nothing he could do. With his cultivation level and status, how could he possibly be qualified to enter? So he pulled Su Buxing to stand to the side, intending to just join in the fun later.
Afterwards, Chang Rencai looked at Su Buxing: "The eldest daughter of the Zhi family, the Minister of Rites in the capital of Great Xia, is said to be one of the top three beauties in Great Xia. She is said to have the Ice Emperor Physique, a rare talent in a hundred years, and first-class cultivation aptitude. Not to mention our Fengling Sect, even the other major sects in Great Xia are vying to go to the Zhi family to take this young lady as their disciple. In particular, the Nascent Soul Grand Elder of the Weeping Moon Palace stepped forward to take her as his personal disciple. Originally, it seemed that this matter was just waiting for this young lady Zhi to nod, but it is said that three months ago, for some reason, she refused and insisted on coming to our Fengling Sect."
He was speaking with great enthusiasm, but seeing Su Buxing blinking at him with a completely uninterested look, Chang Ren couldn't help but ask, "Do you think that young lady isn't as important as your Da Hua...?"
Su Buxing nodded without hesitation.
Chang Ren's expression turned serious. "You'll never be able to find a wife!"
Su Buxing was displeased upon hearing this.
Before he could speak, a person hurried out of the main hall and called out loudly, "Has Junior Brother Su from Xiaonong Peak arrived?"
Upon hearing this, Chang Ren and Su Buxing both turned to look at the senior sister who had spoken.
Although Su Buxing's cultivation level was low, he reacted quickly and stepped forward: "Su Buxing from Xiaonong Peak greets Senior Sister."
The senior sister looked down at Su Buxing with some surprise in her eyes. She had heard that Xiaonong Peak had finally gained a new disciple a few months ago, and according to some gossipy people, he was a very handsome man.
Upon closer inspection, it is indeed true.
only...
The senior sister frowned as she looked at Su Buxing's ordinary farmer-like appearance, his messy hair, and the mud splatters on his face.
But he couldn't care less about anything else, and looked at Su Buxing and said, "Junior Brother Su, come with me into the hall."
Su Buxing paused for a moment, but then followed.
Chang Ren pursed his lips, looking at Su Buxing's back with a mixture of surprise and anxiety.
I hope nothing bad has happened.
This was Su Buxing's first time visiting the main hall of the Fengling Sect.
As soon as I stepped inside, I immediately felt the profound weight of this ancient temple and its boundless spiritual energy.
The Fengling Sect has thirty-six peaks, of which twelve are main peaks, while the rest are merely embellishments. Xiaonong Peak is the embellishment of these main peaks.
In the past, decisions regarding matters were generally made by the leaders of these twelve main peaks.
All the peak masters turned to look at Su Buxing as soon as he entered.
Most people simply shook their heads and didn't look at him again, but a few people looked at Su Buxing with great interest.
But compared to the perspectives of these people...
Su Buxing was actually more concerned about the gaze of a girl standing in the main hall.
The girl had a cool and aloof demeanor, and her appearance was exceptionally striking...
Those shimmering eyes were staring intently at Su Buxing.
This made Su Buxing uncomfortable; to put it another way, it felt like he was about to be devoured.
It feels strangely uncomfortable.
So Su Buxing was a step too slow and hid next to the senior sister in front of him, so that the woman wouldn't see him.
Unexpectedly, the woman also moved a step and looked over.
What's going on!
Su Buxing pouted.
"Lu Yao, he is Su Buxing, the eldest disciple of Xiao Nong Peak in this generation."
Right at the very front of the main hall, the sect leader of the Fengling Sect spoke.
The woman, Zhi Luyao, the eldest daughter of the Zhi family, immediately bowed to the sect leader.
But immediately, one of the peak masters spoke up: "Zhi Luyao! Have you thought this through? What about Xiaonong Peak..."
The sect leader glanced at the man and said, "Junior brother."
The peak master immediately shut his mouth, but while looking at Zhi Luyao with a pained expression, he also glared at Su Buxing.
After three months of initial training, you've only barely reached the first level of Qi Refining?!
What kind of training can this provide!
Lu Yao bowed to the sect leader and the peak master, saying, "Lu Yao understands the thoughts of all my senior uncles and masters, but my mind is made up. Please forgive me."
After saying that, he turned to look at Su Buxing.
Su Buxing blinked as she looked at this young lady. Well...
Did that girl's eyes just flash with excitement because of my good looks?
"Greetings, Senior Brother Su. I know you are far away and wish to become a disciple of Xiaonong Peak."
Su Buxing was wondering what this girl was so excited about seeing him...
But upon hearing this, he couldn't help but look at Zhi Luyao: "Huh?"
Lu Yao bowed again to Su Buxing, saying, "Lu Yao greets Senior Brother."
