Chapter 378: (2): Monk in White Kasaya
Not long ago, Pei Qian had still been complaining about the fact that they had only come across the yellow earth bull but no other spirits or ghosts after leaving Wasp Tail Ferry Station.
Right now, Pei Qian was listening to the conversation between the two groups of cultivators very carefully. This was the cultivation world! She also had to enter the cultivation world in the future, so she needed to listen more and learn more right now.
Zhu Lian quietly nodded to himself. There were many layers of meaning behind Gang Leader Zhu's words.
"If I'm not mistaken, Old Gang Leader Zhu, you want to take this young girl to the Golden Osmanthus Temple and have her cultivate immortal techniques there. But are you aware that the temple master of Golden Osmanthus is an old acquaintance of Blusher Hall?" the old woman revealed with an expression of ridicule.
"Of the nine disciples that they're taking, it's already been decided that one will be from Blusher Hall. Moreover, it was the old immortal who personally agreed to this. In other words, we're only climbing Azure Waist Mountain as a formality. If the sharp-tongued young girl sitting beside you genuinely possesses some cultivation aptitude and is fancied by the temple master, then she does indeed have a chance to call Qingcheng her senior sister."
The young girl from Blusher Hall flushed slightly red in embarrassment.
The round-faced young girl looked at her and giggled, "Oh, so your name is Morning?[1] Well, my name is Night."
Zhu Fengxian smiled faintly and replied, "The temple master of the Golden Osmanthus Temple is a rare and genuine immortal, and it's because of this that I was willing to return to the cultivation world now that he's opening the doors of the temple to recruit nine disciples. However, the Golden Osmanthus Temple isn't the only immortal force in the Azure Phoenix Nation. In other words, I can kill all of you first before bringing my granddaughter to some other immortal force. Of course, I could also leave and instruct the disciples of the Great Marsh Gang to guard your girl in secret. They'll surely teach her how to cultivate in peace."
The old woman's expression became dark, and she said with a cold chuckle, "Bring her to some other immortal force? That's easy for you to say! Why did the old immortal from the Golden Osmanthus Temple set an age limit for the disciples? Are you not clear about this, Zhu Fengxian? If you delay things for two or three more years, then your granddaughter can forget about cultivating to become an immortal. Even if she's accepted into an immortal force thanks to the influence of the Great Marsh Gang, she'll probably become nothing more than a maidservant who can only serve other people. You should be aware that cultivating in immortal forces is a ruthless task, so do you need me to teach you about this principle again?"
