Early the next morning…
“You said you also want to take Su Qianqian as a disciple?” Su Changfeng, who had just finished discussing related matters with Lin Muxue, exclaimed in astonishment.
In the distance, Su Lingling also heard this exclamation, but since Su Qianqian had already told her about it yesterday, she wasn’t surprised at all.
In fact, she had been excited about it the whole night.
After his outburst, Su Changfeng quickly realized his reaction was a bit too much.
He gave a light cough to ease the awkwardness.
“Apologies, Immortal Master, I was just a little surprised. I just don’t know why you suddenly wish to take Qianqian as your disciple?”
“Yesterday, I met her on the street. She said she wanted to cultivate as well. I tested her talent. Although she doesn’t have the kind of innate talent that Su Lingling has, which is immediately apparent, it’s still quite good.”
Lin Muxue wasn’t good at making up excuses, so she simply repeated what Su Qianqian had come up with yesterday.
After listening, Su Changfeng glanced at Su Qianqian in the distance. Su Qianqian smiled and waved in their direction.
Thinking about it, this was indeed just like something Su Qianqian would do.
“This is something I hadn’t expected, so please allow me to discuss it with my wife a bit later.” As he spoke, Su Changfeng bowed.
At this moment, Su Lingling, seeing that they had finished talking, walked over and hesitantly asked Lin Muxue:
“Um, Immortal Master, I have a question I’d like to ask…”
“Go ahead.”
“Well… after my parents and sister go over there, what is the living environment like? Is it better than here?”
Lin Muxue thought for a moment, then looked at the hesitant and curious Su Lingling and said,
“It’s not as lively as it is here—it’s much quieter, but the buildings are new, the facilities are very complete, and there’s protection from the Immortal Sect. Both safety and healthcare are much better than here.”
“I see… is there good food there?” This was a question Su Lingling cared a lot about.
In her simple view, as long as you could dress warmly, live well, and eat tasty food, then it was a good place. She didn’t want herself and her family to eat poorly.
Looking at the innocent Su Lingling, Lin Muxue’s expression softened a lot.
Normally, if a Sect recruited disciples and elders encountered this kind of question, they would say, “On the path of cultivation, you shouldn’t pursue pleasure! Clear your distractions, cultivate wholeheartedly, and only then can you achieve the great Dao!”
But Lin Muxue didn’t like that, so her answer was, “I’m sorry, the food there isn’t particularly delicious, but there are plenty of good ingredients. I can cook, and if you want to eat, I can make food for you.”
Hearing Lin Muxue’s words, Su Lingling muttered regretfully, “But my sister and parents won’t get to eat it… so what’s the point…”
“Alright, Lingling! Go have your breakfast first, I’ll ask Immortal Master a few more questions.” Su Changfeng, to the side, spoke in a slightly firmer, hushed tone…
“Oh, okay…”
After Su Lingling left, Su Changfeng apologized to Lin Muxue with embarrassment, “Immortal Master, I’m sorry. Lingling is a very innocent child, she didn’t mean any offense just now.”
“No, that’s perfectly fine. She’s a good child.”
Seeing that Lin Muxue wasn’t angered, Su Changfeng let out a sigh of relief. After chatting a bit more, Lin Muxue left again.
After Lin Muxue left, Su Changfeng hurried to find Liu Qingyao to discuss matters.
When she heard that Lin Muxue wanted to take Su Qianqian as a disciple too, Liu Qingyao was also a little surprised, but soon felt it was only natural. “As expected of our children, each one is a true dragon or phoenix among men!”
After their discussions that morning, they’d basically made up their minds…
Before, their main concern was Su Qianqian. For the sake of Su Lingling’s chance at immortality, they could endure any hardship, but they didn’t want Su Qianqian to suffer as well. But now, there’s no problem! Su Qianqian could also go cultivate—now their family would have two immortals!
“Hmm… bring along more recipes and seasonings. The Immortal Master said there’s not much good food there. Lingling and Qianqian are both little foodies; we should prepare more for them…”
Su Changfeng and Liu Qingyao were people of action.
By the afternoon and evening that day, Su Changfeng had already arranged all the necessary matters within the family, passing the Family Head position to his younger brother.
Many in the clan urged him to think twice—what if he ran into a fraudster!
But after witnessing those immortal methods, Su Changfeng knew there was no way it was some trick.
If a fraudster could fly a sword several hundred meters into the air in front of him, summon moving wooden men and blazing fireballs, then even if he was fooled, he would accept it willingly.
Liu Qingyao also used this time to sweep through the city for all kinds of recipes and seasonings, and bought lots of pastries and snacks that Su Qianqian and Su Lingling loved, ones that would keep for a long time.
By early the next morning, they were ready, traveling light and prepared to set out—so efficient that even Lin Muxue was surprised.
“In that case, I am now your Master. From now on, just call me Master—no need for Immortal Master anymore.”
“Okay, Master~”
“Greetings, Master—!”
Looking at her two new disciples, one tall and one short, Liu Qingyao revealed a gratified smile.
“Um, it seems like we brought too much stuff—should we leave some behind…”
“Bring some more—enough clothes and daily necessities. I can use a storage artifact to keep it all.”
After selectively bringing some more things, under the astonished gazes of the Su Family, Lin Muxue placed all the luggage into her Storage Ring.
Then she set a Flying Boat down in the open yard.
“Let’s go, then. The journey is long; we should head out early.”
Once everyone was seated, the Flying Boat soared straight into the sky.
In no time, the town had vanished from sight.
The mountain ranges flashed by rapidly beneath the Flying Boat, and occasionally, as they passed through the clouds, it truly felt as though they’d entered an immortal’s secret realm…
At this moment, even the steady Su Changfeng couldn’t help but gaze curiously around, not to mention the lively Su Lingling—right now, even two pairs of eyes weren’t enough for her to take it all in!
On the Flying Boat, Lin Muxue handed everyone a Dan Medicine, which would resolve any mortal’s issues of hunger or bodily functions.
On the road, Lin Muxue explained some common knowledge of the cultivation world to Su Lingling, while Liu Qingyao and Su Changfeng listened with great interest.
As for Su Qianqian, gazing out the window of the Flying Boat at these majestic sights—in the past, Su Ling’s eyes would have found them ordinary, but now, seeing them again, she couldn’t help but feel deeply moved.
After two days of traveling with stops along the way, at noon one day, they saw a magnificent immortal mountain appear in the distance!
Among these mountains, the main peak soared straight into the clouds, but seemed to have been sliced in half by some mysterious force, leaving a vast platform at the top.
There were continuous palace complexes built on the summit and along the mountainside, and many floating platforms drifted around the edges of the mountain.
Occasionally, the Guardian Sect Array revealed its form, emanating an ethereal and mysterious aura…
“Wow—! Master, is this our Sect?!” Su Lingling, seeing this immortal scene, couldn’t help but shout.
“That’s right! With a sword that pierces the Nine Heavens, all Sects bow down, a solitary sword soaring through the clouds, splitting the sea and opening the heavens—this is the Sword Sect, a Dao lineage spanning ten thousand generations, the ultimate pinnacle of the Sword Dao!”
