The Great Wild God - Chapter 201
Chapter 201 Cuiwei Lake
The two girls rode on a wild goose, and Chen Xun walked to the side of the other giant red-beaked goose, wanting to ride on it.
He hadn’t thought that this giant red-beaked goose would turn around and peck at him. Its momentum was definitely not inferior to a peak True Yang Realm martial artist’s full force attack.
Chen Xun was shocked. He didn’t expect this giant red-beaked geese to be so irritable. He wondered if Chang Xi would find an opportunity to roast this wild goose in the future.
“Zi’er is a girl. She hasn’t been ridden by any stinking man. Senior Brother, why don’t you follow behind us?” The girl with the jade hairpin on her head laughed out loud when she saw this scene.
Chen Xun wished he could pull out the feathers of that giant red-beaked goose. In his heart, you’re a flat-haired animal, and you’re afraid of being indecent to others, aren’t you? However, within the Divine Night Sect, the status of the outer disciples might not even be comparable to that of a flat-haired beast. Chen Xun was helpless and could only follow the two crane riding girls with large strides towards Cuiwei Lake.
The Divine Night Sect was thousands of kilometers wide, and there were hundreds of mountain peaks and valleys in between. The spirit veins that ran through the Divine Night Mountain System were mainly divided into seven branches. As a result, the Divine Night Sect divided into seven branches, including Gu Yang, Tian Xing, and Zi Xiao Peaks.
The distance between the peaks ranged from three to five hundred kilometers. The clouds in the middle surrounded them, and the trees were dense. There were countless ravines in the peaks. There were also countless spiritual fields, medicinal valleys, and countless spirit birds and exotic beasts that were leisurely nurturing them. It was completely like the scene of an Immortal Mountain Garden.
Chen Xun followed the two goose riding girls and stopped in front of an elegant mountain peak.
The mountain peak was tall and steep. The top of the mountain was deeply hidden in the depths of the clouds and mist. The valley at the foot of the southern foot of the mountain had 20 to 30 courtyards built in an orderly manner.
A waterfall fell from the depths of the clouds, in a bottomless pond thousands of feet wide in the valley on the left side of the complex.
Chen Xun and the others stood in the deep pond and flew. A mist of water spilled over from the waterfall and enveloped the pond. They had an intuition that every drop of water would reveal this amount of spiritual energy.
Looking at this situation, Chen Xun thought to himself, could it be that there was a spiritual spring on the summit of the mountain? The waterfall brought spiritual energy down the mountain and filled the valley with mist?
Amidst the clouds and mist, there were over a hundred gigantic spirit birds, such as wild geese and cranes, circling around and playing, not fearing human tracks at all.
“Seniors, this is Cuiwei Lake?” Chen Xun pointed at the vast pond in front of him and saw strands of spiritual energy leaking out of the pond. He asked the two girls who were riding geese.
“He really doesn’t understand anything. He doesn’t understand why Senior Sister Chang Xi dragged him here?” The girl with the jade hairpin in her head pursed her red lips and smiled at the round-faced girl.
“Cuiwei Peak is the remnant of Gu Yang Peak. There is a spirit spring that surges up from underground to the peak. The lake formed at the peak is the Cuiwei Spirit Lake. This pool is the drinking pool for spirit birds.” Pointing to the courtyard in front of the pond, he said, “Logically speaking, Cuiwei Lake only recruits female disciples. Even some male disciples with outstanding talent and decent manners need to cultivate in the outer sect for three years before they can enter. “Although I don’t know how Senior Sister allowed you to move in directly, we have a large number of girls here. It would be inconvenient for everyone if you move in. Be careful not to violate the rules here.”
“I owe Senior Sister Chang a lot of money. She’s probably afraid that I’ll sneak away.” Chen Xun said as he smiled at the arrogant round-faced girl.
“Really?” The girl wearing the green jade hairpin looked at Chen Xun in disbelief. “It seems like you owe Senior Sister Chang Xi a lot of money. A senior brother from Tianxingfeng wanted to rely on Senior Sister Chang Xi for a magical artifact, but in the end, Senior Sister Chang Xi was tied up in Fallen Thunder Valley. She almost died from the lightning. In the end, she had to move to Cuiwei Lake to help us raise the crane to pay our debts …”
Chen Xun didn’t expect Chang Xi to have such a bad deed in the Divine Night Sect. His back was cold and his face was bitter. “I owe Senior Sister Chang Xi a lot, so much that I don’t even want to die.”
“My name is Yu Wenying, and my sister’s name is Yu Wenyuan. They are all deacon disciples of Cuiwei Lake. If there’s anything you don’t know, you can come and find me …”
************************
Yu Wenying and Sister Yu Wenyuan stood in the courtyard and called out a middle-aged cultivator called Lei Wanhe.
Throwing Chen Xun to this person, without saying anything else, they patted their butts and flew to the peak of Cuiwei Peak.
Lei Wanhe looked loyal and mature. He knew that he was one of the outer sect disciples who had been bullied at the bottom of Cuiwei Lake. When he saw Chen Xun coming over, he enthusiastically rallied around and brought him into the courtyard.
Although there were twenty to thirty disciples entering the courtyard in the valley, not many of them lived there. Most of the courtyards were in the air, and Chen Xun could choose at will. Chen Xun chose a courtyard that opened the window and could see the deep pond flying in the air.
Not long after, Lei Wanhe sent him the disciple’s robes, identity tokens, and other items.
From Lei Wanhe, Chen Xun gradually learned about the general situation of Gu Yangfeng’s bloodline.
At this moment, only Xia Xiangyi, Chang Xi, and the other four direct disciples of Gu Yangfeng were qualified to choose Spirit Mountain and Spirit Valley to open a cave residence.
The disciples of the De Lu inner sect could choose their close direct disciples to live together according to their close relationship with the direct disciples. They could also live in the courtyard of the disciples under Gu Yang Peak.
After the outer sect disciples entered the Divine Night Sect, they would usually temper their foundations for another two to three years according to their cultivation bases. However, they would be assigned to the various meridians of Gu Yang Peak to continue cultivating.
Of course, apart from a few disciples who had a chance of advancing to the Heavenly Yuan Realm, most outer sect disciples would leave the Divine Night Sect and return to the mortal world one after another, regardless of whether they broke through the profound aperture or not.
The experts of the Divine Night Sect were like clouds. Even if outer sect disciples broke through the profound apertures and advanced into the Reincarnation Realm, they would not receive much attention in the sect unless they had the hope of advancing to the Heaven Origin Realm.
However, there was only one Divine Night Sect in the northwest ten thousand kilometers. After leaving the Divine Night Sect, Reincarnation Realm cultivators were still existences that absolutely stood above all living beings in the prefectures and cities.
Regardless of whether it was a peak True Yang Realm or an outer sect disciple who broke through the profound aperture, as long as there was no hope of entering the inner sect, very few people would stay in the Divine Night Sect for the rest of their lives.
Whether it was returning to the clan, joining another sect, or entering the Prefecture Marquis Prefecture, the privileges and status that they would obtain would definitely be much better than staying in the Divine Night Sect as an outer sect disciple even if they were merely peak True Yang Realm cultivators returning to the mortal world.
No matter how bad it was, he could still serve as a deacon in the outer hall of the Divine Night Sect in the various prefectures. It was better than being ordered around the mountain gate by direct disciples, inner sect disciples, and dean elders like oxen and horses.
Therefore, although there were more than a hundred thousand outer sect disciples of Shen Xiao, there were only two to three thousand people who could reach the Reincarnation Realm if they stayed in the sect, which was roughly ten times the size of the Thousand Swords Sect.
Cuiwei Lake was the cultivation cave of direct disciple Chang Xi.
Apart from Chang Xi and the dozen female inner sect disciples of the Gu Yang Peak Sect, only Chen Xun, Lei Wanhe, and the other forty to fifty outer sect disciples lived in the east and west courtyards at the foot of the mountain. Their numbers and sizes were far less than those of the caves created by other direct disciples.
The reason why Cuiwei Lake let these male outer sect disciples in was because Cuiwei Lake was responsible for raising the spirit geese and spirit cranes. Some dirty work and tiring work really required some male disciples to come over and help them with the hard work.
In the Divine Night Sect, on Gu Yang Peak, outer sect disciples were the lowest level existences. Regardless of their background, they had to undertake some chores. The sect would also distribute some necessary living and cultivation resources accordingly.
However, most outer sect disciples who came from noble backgrounds and had to enter the Divine Night Sect to cultivate had high hopes placed on them by their clans. There was no need to worry about the lack of cultivation resources.
After the outer sect disciples entered the sect, they received a few basic dao techniques and profound arts from the various peak cultivation academies to cultivate.
Outer sect disciples did not have a fixed teacher. They could go to the Cultivation Academy every month to listen to the Cultivation Elders lecturing on cultivation, pill refinement, artifact refinement, and formations. Due to the large number of outer sect disciples in Zhu Feng, the Skill Transmission Elder did not care about answering questions or answering questions.
Only after entering the inner sect would the Skill Transmission Elders of Zhu Feng direct his cultivation, and there were only a hundred inner sect disciples of Gu Yang Peak. Only direct disciples like Chang Xi could truly be considered direct disciples of Sect Master Gu Yang’s sect.
If you have a familiar inner sect or direct disciple, you can also come to the sect to ask for advice. The Dao Art Convention held regularly between outer sect disciples is the best opportunity to verify each other and exchange knowledge.
Chen Xun stayed for a few days, and only after he was familiar with Lei Wanhe did he know that he was the disciple of the Heavenly Punishment Peak that Yu Wenying and Yu Wenyuan had mentioned.
Lei Wanhe was less than 50 years old, and he was already at the peak of the Reincarnation Realm. He had refined nine spiritual veins and had a high chance of advancing to the Heavenly Yuan Realm. However, it was because he had offended Chang Xi that he was forced to sign the contract of sale. He had to work hard for 20 years to return to Cuiwei Lake to pay off his debts and return to Heavenly Punishment Peak to cultivate.
Most of the male outer sect disciples who lived at the foot of the mountain had similar experiences. Chen Xun thought about Chang Xi’s perverse temper. It wasn’t strange at all. He just didn’t know how long he would have to stay in front of the Cuiwei Lake before he could refine ten Spirit Gathering Mountain and River Arrays to be able to be completely clear with Chang Xi.
********************
The matter of the Thousand Devil Realm demonic fiend leaking into Tu Shan was of concern to the great figures of the Divine Night Sect, while Chen Xun calmly settled down on Cuiwei Peak.
It was impossible for Chang Xi to be in a hurry to refine the Spirit Gathering Mountain and River Array. Apart from raising spirit birds and other chores, the disciples who cultivated in Cuiwei Lake spent more time in closed doors and training in the courtyard. No one knew Chen Xun’s identity, and no one was particularly concerned about him.
When he had time to meet other outer sect disciples and chat with them, Chen Xun only said that he was a rogue cultivator from Cang Lan, and no one would unwittingly ask about his background.
The Cuiwei Lake/Peak itself had a Spirit Vein that came from the main vein of the Sunvale Peak. After the Spirit Qi seeped into the Spirit Spring, it fell down along with the waterfall and scattered into the clouds. The valley Chen Xun and the others lived in was also extremely rich in Spirit Qi.
Chen Xun didn’t even need to use the Spirit Gathering Formation to have enough spiritual energy to cultivate.
This was probably the reason why some outer sect disciples were willing to be enslaved.
Apart from the hundreds of wild geese and cranes breathing on the walls between the deep pond and the waterfall, there were also many herb mountains, herb valleys, and herbs filled with Pu Yingcao that could strengthen bones and nourish the sun and nourish vital energy, which were mostly used to feed spirit birds at the southern and eastern foot of Cuiwei Peak.
Hundreds of spirit birds were dominated by giant red-beaked geese, and there were almost 200 of them.
The strongest giant goose had golden feathers on its wings and roared like a phoenix. It was said that it had a lifespan of two thousand years. It was one of the few Core Formation Immortal birds in the Cuiwei Lake flock. It had long since grown intelligent and was a spirit beast that Daoist Gu Yang had accompanied for many years. Even the reckless Chang Xi did not dare to disrespect these two immortal birds.
As for the Dark Scaled Sly that had fled with Chang Xi, after being captured with Chang Xi back at the mountain gate, it was said that Adept Gu Yang had already been locked under the deep pond and would only be released after being imprisoned for ten years.
Chen Xun and the other outer sect disciples who lived at the foot of the mountain only needed to take care of the spiritual herbs that were absorbing spiritual energy and growing normally in the Medicinal Valley to ensure that no one came in to poach spiritual birds. They didn’t really need to expend too much energy. Everyone’s life was fairly leisurely.
As Chen Xun had just arrived, Lei Wanhe had also made him familiar with his surroundings, so he didn’t have much work to do. Chen Xun had been locked up in his room all day to cultivate.
