Chapter 19 - The Journey of Immortality is Long
On his way to Heavenly Water Peak, Li Guanqi met many disciples who had entered the sect alongside him. The young men and women all wore brand-new sect uniforms, and they were filled with optimism for the future.
They walked in groups of twos and threes, chatting happily as they made their way to class.
Heavenly Water Peak was located on the western side of the Daxia Sword Sect. The five main peaks were aligned according to the five elements, while the Wind, Lightning, and Ice peaks stood independently.
As Li Guanqi admired the lively groups around him, two figures suddenly approached and draped their arms around his shoulders.
“Hahaha! Guanqi, I can’t believe you chose a Lightning Spirit Root.”
“Yeah! And you’ve even got the extremely rare Saint Spirit Root!”
“You managed to enter the inner sect directly. What a massive shortcut.”
Li Guanqi smiled. He had already asked around about his two friends and knew which peaks they had joined. Lin Dong had entered the inner sect of Heavenly Earth Peak, while Li Sheng’an had joined the outer sect of Heavenly Metal Peak.
“Lin Dong, you did well too. An Earth Heavenly Spirit Root? Your future is bright.”
The humble Lin Dong grinned and scratched his head. “My family’s ancestral grave probably has smoke billowing out of it right now. My ancestors racked up some good karma.”
Li Sheng’an looked content. Speaking to no one in particular, he said, “With a Mixed Spirit Root, I’m just happy to have made it into the outer sect.”
