Chapter 144 Peacock Feather on Moon-Watching Mountain

After coming out from Gu Qingshu, Ye Yang first went to the sect's mission hall and distributed the tasks for this field trip.

After a while, several disciples signed up.

He walked out of the mission hall and soon saw a young female disciple. She was holding a sword across her knees, wearing tight clothes. She was practicing Qigong under a green pine tree, absorbing the pure and spiritual energy from the body.

"This is the woman with the Moon-piercing Sword Body."

Ye Yang felt the sword energy emanating from her body and could not help but nod in satisfaction.

The girl's name is Huo Bingshuang. She was recruited by the elders of Feitian Sect when she traveled during the Dayun Dynasty. She has great talent.

Today, Ye Yang is considered a role model in Feitianmen, whether he is using his cultivation in the Tongqi realm to lure away the strong men in the Wuren realm or save Feitianmen from danger.

The news that he killed the monsters in the northern border in the longevity barrier and scared away Die Wuhou with one sword had already spread throughout Feitianmen.

In particular, the story of him saving the sect's disciples with just a sword and a knife on the bank of the Bisha River was widely circulated.

Nowadays, most of the new disciples choose swords as their protective weapons, and a big part of the reason is because of his influence.

As he walked along, he heard the whirring of swords and knives, and Ye Yang couldn't help but shook his head.

The sword is the courage of all weapons, and the knife is the weapon of a gentleman. The sword requires a pure heart to comprehend the meaning of the Tao, while the way of the knife can only achieve the fastest breakthrough in the struggle of killing.

If there is no urgent situation where Mount Tai collapses in front of you, it will be difficult to make further progress in the way of the sword.

Ye Yang walked to the middle of the disciple hall, where a white-haired deacon was explaining swordsmanship to the new disciples.

These young disciples admired him very much. Hundreds of them gathered together, looking very powerful.

"Today I will tell you about the Wind and Frost Sword Technique. The Wind and Frost Sword Technique is one of the most powerful spells in Feitian Sect. It emphasizes the idea of ​​one strike, several strikes, and life, and the meaning of being in poverty and desolation."

"The most representative figure in the sect is Ye Yang, the inspector and guardian of the clerk's office."

Hearing this, Ye Yang couldn't help but shook his head.

The Fengshuang Sword Technique is not suitable for ordinary disciples because they are still young and they only want to wear fine clothes and ride horses, show off their virtues in front of others, and live a carefree and happy life.

The state of mind does not meet the requirements for practicing the Fengshuang Sword Technique.

If one does not have sufficient understanding and feelings about life, practicing this sword technique is tantamount to a mouse pulling a cart or working in isolation.

Then the deacon drew out a single sword, said a few words of caution to everyone, and began to practice sword moves.

Ye Yang could see that although this deacon had solid basic skills, he had not experienced any life-and-death battles.

"It seems that when recruiting independent cultivators this time, we should look for old customers with rich fighting experience."

Ye Yang looked at the scene in front of him and thought to himself.

The world of immortal cultivation is full of undercurrents and is not peaceful. If you are not careful when going out, you may be killed. No matter how high your cultivation level is, hidden weapons, poisons, and poisonous insects can still easily knock you down.

When he was in the state of Tongqi, the scene of a group of Zhang family members killing the giant crocodile was still vivid in his mind, as if it happened yesterday.

He was thinking about something when he suddenly heard a voice in front of him.

"Qingshan, why are you practicing the sword and saber combination method so hard? Don't you know that the sword and saber technique is the most difficult to practice? Not only does it make people unable to split themselves into two, but it also makes the left and right sides of the human body unable to communicate. Practicing this method often results in half the effort and twice the results, and the gains do not outweigh the losses."

The young man named Qingshan showed a trace of anger in his eyes when he heard this. He secretly gritted his teeth and was very unconvinced.

"My cousin can cultivate it, so why can't I? He got the reputation of being an expert in both swords and sabers, so I also want to have a reputation of being an expert in both swords and sabers."

"What's more, since this batch of disciples took the entrance exam, Huo Bingshuang has been firmly occupying the first place by relying on the power of the Tongyue Sword Body. Wu Meng, a barbarian, has also suppressed us. It's really annoying. The power of the sword is huge. If I can cultivate the sword, I will definitely be able to suppress them."

Hearing what Yu Qingshan said, his friend beside him stopped talking and said, "You are right. The sword method is easy to learn but difficult to master. What's more, your cousin is Ye Yang, an expert in both swords and knives. You can always ask for advice."

It would have been better if he hadn't said it. After hearing this, Yu Qingshan sighed secretly.

"Although my cousin is not very smart, he practices diligently and perseveres. I really admire his perseverance."

"It's just that there was a misunderstanding between my family and him a while ago. Well, I must ask this cousin for advice in the future to see how I can practice the sword method as quickly as possible."

"I think no one in the sect can match his sword skills."

Yu Qingshan's words immediately attracted the attention of people around him. Many people only knew that he had a strong background.

Unexpectedly, Ye Yang, a popular figure in the sect, also has some blood relationship with him.

Even the white-haired butler looked at him with a strange look in his eyes.

Although the Ye family does not have much influence in the sect, their descendants have been loyal and righteous for generations and have a good reputation.

When Ye Yang awakened his true nature, he was a spiritual tester. What he awakened at that time was only a high-quality yellow-grade true nature. Although it was good, it was not special at all.

At that time, he didn't think that this disciple would be able to achieve any extraordinary accomplishments in the future.

But within a few years, the other party first got rid of a group of Xuan-level people and broke through to the warrior realm.

Later, in the longevity barrier, the reputation of Feitian Sect was greatly spread, which was truly extraordinary.

"If I knew the other person had such achievements, I would have left a good impression on him no matter what."

The white-haired butler thought to himself, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

"Your name is Qingshan, right? Come forward and rehearse it for me again so I can see if there are any omissions."

……

Early the next morning, a boy from the mission hall found Ye Yang and said respectfully, "Protector Ye, the people who will be participating in this mission are all ready. When do you think we should set off?"

Ye Yang saw that it was still early, but since he had nothing to do recently, he said, "It is better to set off today than to wait for a day. This way, we can reach Wangyue Mountain in a few days."

After hearing his instructions, the boy hurriedly called out to everyone, and soon three disciples came.

Seeing that everyone had gathered, Ye Yang gave orders. These people immediately prepared horses and sundries, and the group headed towards Wangyue Mountain.

Have a safe journey, thank you for being healthy.

But along the way, Ye Yang saw many independent cultivators, carrying their luggage and moving to other places with their families.

Ye Yang knew that Wangyue Mountain had experienced a great war some time ago, and its spiritual veins had been destroyed. Now many cultivators had left their homes and migrated away.

Entering Wangyue Mountain, several people found an inn to stay in. Ye Yang was secretly surprised to see that the flow of people in the market town had dropped by one third compared to before.

"Bah, damn Immortal, after a great battle destroyed the spiritual vein of Wangyue Mountain, all the cultivators were in danger and fled at a faster pace. My skills as a tailor are useless."

"That's right. What real person? I think they are just robbers. Those strong independent cultivators are recruited by sects and families. You say that low-level cultivators like us can only wait to die here." After hearing the curse, Ye Yang finally understood the current situation of Wangyue Mountain.

"Today is a good time for monks to trade goods. Usually it is crowded with people, but now it is deserted. It seems that Wangyue Mountain has been seriously affected by the matter of the longevity barrier."

Ye Yang walked past the crowd and came to a remote and deserted house.

It was winter at the moment, and the yard was covered with a layer of snow that was several feet thick.

Ye Yang knocked on the door gently, and after a while a boy opened the door.

Seeing the boy, Ye Yang asked, "Is Master Huo Lian here?"

The boy nodded and said, "Do you have an appointment?"

Ye Yang took out a previous agreement.

When he entered the Longevity Barrier, he had entrusted the other party to equip the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle with a Peacock Feather. After counting on his fingers, he found that nearly half a year had passed. He happened to arrive at the Moon-Watching Mountain, so he thought of taking this item away.

When the disciple saw the contract, he hurriedly walked in to greet Ye Yang.

After a while, a sturdy and plump man in his fifties came over. When he saw Ye Yang, he immediately said, "Daoyou, you are here to get the Peacock Feather Needle Insect."

Ye Yang nodded.

Master Huo Lian smiled and coughed a few times: "As you expected, this Peacock Feather Insect was delivered yesterday, and it is just right for use today."

As he spoke, a trickle of blood flowed from his lips, and his face was as pale as gold paper, looking extremely weathered.

Ye Yang was slightly surprised. He lifted the other person's wrist and gave him a little life energy. Then he asked, "Senior, what are you doing?"

Master Huo Lian shook his head, sighed and said, "Fortunately you came today. I will be taking my disciple home to retire in a while."

After listening to his story, Ye Yang realized that after Master Huo Lian became famous, many demons came to him to refine and repair their magic weapons.

Those who are weak still follow the rules, but those who are strong will directly force their demands and treat him as a puppet to make magic weapons.

A few days ago, a demon came and had a conflict with him due to a disagreement, and seriously injured him.

His face was pale, and he felt much better after Ye Yangdu absorbed the life essence.

He showed disdain on his face: "These demons are really rampant, they can only bully us casual cultivators. If they have the guts, let them bully the clan disciples."

After he finished speaking, he realized that Ye Yang was a member of the clan. He knew that he had said something wrong, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face: "That's not what I meant."

Ye Yang naturally wouldn't take these things to heart, but looked at him with a gleam in his eyes.

This man has superb forging skills. It would be a blessing for the Feitian Sect if he could be accepted into the Feitian Sect.

So Ye Yang said, "Senior, with your great skills, it would be a pity to go home and retire. Our Feitian Sect is now recruiting talents and opening its doors."

"To be honest, I came here to recommend various talents. You have superb skills. If you are willing to join Feitianmen, Ye is willing to recommend you."

Hearing Ye Yang say this, Master Huo Lian sighed.

After waiting for a while, he said, "Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist Ye. However, I have been used to living a carefree life and cannot stand the constraints of a sect."

He hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and did not accept the olive branch thrown by Ye Yang.

After a detailed discussion, Ye Yang learned that this fire refining master came from the famous forging family, Flame Mountain. However, Flame Mountain was destroyed by foreign monsters several years ago, so the disciples were scattered outside.

He had already become a third-rank weapon refiner, able to forge mid-grade magical weapons.

Magical weapons are precious. Even after breaking through to the warrior realm, Ye Yang only has a red maple sword in his hand, which can be regarded as a magic weapon.

Therefore, a weapon refiner who can forge a mid-grade magic weapon is highly valued. Although the Fire Refining Master is experienced in dealing with people, he did not tell the reason for his refusal.

However, Ye Yang knew that he thought the Feitianmen Temple was too small.

Master Huo Lian showed a trace of embarrassment, coughed, and then said.

"I have always had a soft spot for Feitianmen, but after this long journey, I may never come back."

"To be honest, it was the Blood Demon Sect's real person who invited me personally. From now on, I may have to stay in the Blood Demon Sect permanently. If you have time in the future, you may come to the Blood Demon Sect to discuss Taoism and taste tea."

Seeing that the other party was determined to leave, Ye Yang didn't say anything more. He also knew that although Feitian Sect was pretty good now, it was still far behind those powerful sects.

It was not surprising to him that the other party, given the choice, chose to go to a higher place, the Blood Demon Sect.

So Ye Yang clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior, to buy me a new Peacock Feather Insect for this fingertip."

Master Huo Lian nodded and said, "This is a simple matter. The Peacock Feather is ready. You can come and get it in three days."

Ye Yang placed the Rainbow Pear Blossom Finger Gloves in his hand.
Master Huo Lian accepted it.

……

Here, Ye Yang was talking with Master Huo Lian, while on the other side, there was an ancient and majestic manor on a scattered spiritual vein.

There was an old pine tree in the yard. Its bark was frosted and wet, and it was more than a foot thick and as strong as a dragon. A group of people were sitting under the tree.

In addition to Xiao Sheng, who had specially visited Ye Yang before, there were still five or six other people, all of whom were his good friends and relatives.

"I heard that the Feitian Sect's patrol guards have arrived at Wangyue Mountain. Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Xiao. From now on, Fellow Daoist Xiao can join the sect and rise to prominence."

The person who spoke was Nanming Shanren, who was quite famous in Wangyue Mountain.

The man from Nanming Mountain was not very old, probably in his forties or fifties, with a wisp of black beard under his chin, and he looked like an immortal. There were two people beside him, a man and a woman.

Xiao Sheng was also somewhat excited.

But the people who were most excited at this moment were naturally his disciples who were at the Tongqi realm.

They had suffered from the hardships of being independent practitioners, but now they heard that their master was going to join the sect, which was like a sudden change of events, and they all dreamed of becoming dragons.

I heard the words of praise from Nanmingshanren.

Xiao Sheng laughed a few times: "Brother Nanming, why do you have to tease me like this? You must be on the list of guests of Feitianmen this time."

"I heard that the person who came this time was Ye Yang, the inspector of the Ministry of Personnel. I wonder if he is a difficult person to deal with."

Xiao Sheng still had some concerns.

He had met Ye Yang several times and had given Ye Yang a second-level demon pill as a gift, but they were not close friends. He just felt that Ye Yang was as smooth as a devil, but had strong principles in his heart. He was a person who was round on the outside but square on the inside.
