The Warm and Hospitable Five Elements Sect
The Five Elements Sect, one of the Five Great Immortal Sects, is located in the Five Elements Spirit Vein of Yunzhou. The Five Elements Spirit Vein is naturally in harmony with the five elements, making it the best place in Yunzhou.
Under the leadership of Sect Master Qiu Jin'an, the Five Elements Sect is thriving with a wealth of talent. The sect is serious and diligent in its internal practices, striving for excellence, while warm and hospitable to outsiders.
Even when disciples of the Ask Dao Sect come to the Five Elements Sect to study, the Five Elements Sect forgives them and sends out elders to greet them, carrying Law Treasure, as if afraid that the people from the Ask Dao Sect might encounter some mishap.
"We're so popular, so many people have come out to greet us." Man Gu looked at the people in front of the Five Elements Sect's mountain gate with a smile.
Lu Yang's eyes twitched as he watched. He learned from the Immortal Fairy that those holding the Law Treasure were all at the Body Integration Realm, and must be elders of the Five Elements Sect.
Do we need to bring Law Treasure to greet them?
The airship docked, and Meng Jingzhou led the group off the ship. Qiu Jin'an warmly greeted them, followed by five fierce-looking elders. One of the elders was holding a banner in his left hand and a weapon in his right, and it was unclear what he was planning to do.
"Welcome to our Five Elements Sect for a visit and learning! Don't you have an elder to guide you?"
Qiu Jin'an counted them; there were only five people, and none of the nine disciples of the Ask Dao Sect present.
Undeterred, he used his Divine Sense to search the surroundings for any hidden presences that had followed him.
"No, the elders were all busy and couldn't come," Meng Jingzhou replied truthfully.
Qiu Jinan shook his head regretfully. What a pity, why didn't anyone walk into the trap?
The five elders behind him used their Law Treasure Law Treasure, the tips of which were glowing, which startled Meng Jingzhou. Fortunately, their Law Treasure were not pointed at him, but rather at the sky.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
Five attacks exploded in the air, as beautiful as fireworks blooming under the night sky during the Lunar New Year.
Amidst the sounds of attack, a banner was unfurled. "Welcome disciples of the Ask Dao Sect to study at our sect."
The Five Elements Sect is meticulous in its work and has made two preparations. If the Nine Sons of the Ask Dao Sect come, they will use Law Treasure to greet them, and then step on the Nine Sons of the Ask Dao Sect to unfurl banners and set off fireworks. If Yun Zhi comes, they will simply change it to fireworks and banners.
Although Yun Zhi didn't come, only a few younger relatives did, but they could still manage to put up a banner to welcome her.
"Disperse, disperse, the old scoundrel and the others didn't come."
"I've heard that the 'Silent Old Thief' has been lurking in the Desolate State. Shall we go check it out?"
"Forget it, it's probably just fake news. How often can we catch him even if we know his whereabouts?"
"That kid's slippery, he runs faster than a rabbit!"
"Man and sword become one, one sword transforms into ten thousand swords. By unleashing these two moves in succession, who can find his true form? By the time they do, he's already gone."
"You know what, if I run into it, I can find it."
How will you find it?
"See my eyes? I jumped into a furnace and smoked them for forty-nine days to finally heal them. My eyes are now comparable to the demon-revealing mirror at the White Horse Temple!"
"It works so well, is this move easy to learn? I want to try it too."
After the elders finished unfurling the banners and setting off the fireworks, they dispersed, talking amongst themselves.
Seeing that the target hadn't arrived, Qiu Jin'an coughed twice, gave Bai Ming a wink, and then greeted the five people.
The Sect Master and elders have left, but the disciples of the Five Elements Sect have not yet left.
"Which one is Lu Yang? Point him out to me."
"It's that one, the one who looks clean and neat."
"You can't judge a book by its cover. I heard that when he was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, he fought against opponents of higher levels, defeating Golden Core Nascent Soul, Nascent Soul, and Spirit Transformation. Now that he's in the Golden Core stage, can he defeat someone in the Void Refinement stage?"
"Why would you need him to fight Void Refinement stage cultivator? You pick a Void Refinement stage cultivator in a weakened state, and I can defeat them."
"Too."
Who is the founder of "Dream Bubble"?
"Are you blind? There's only one female cultivator, why are you asking?"
"That's really talented! How come I never thought of such a great money-making idea?"
"What good ideas can you come up with? You ate some barbecue skewers from the Ask Dao Sect and now you want to open your own shop, but you've found that the competition in the barbecue market is too fierce these days?"
"Is that really strong guy from the Ancient Barbarian Tribe? I thought all the Ancient Barbarian Tribe were extinct."
"It's said to be a bloodline reversion that hasn't been seen in ten thousand years, tracing back to the source."
The disciples of the Five Elements Sect had few interactions with the disciples of the Ask Dao Sect Seeking Sect, and they were extremely interested in Lu Yang and his group.
After Qiu Jinan left, Meng Jingzhou saw Bai Ming and asked in confusion, "Didn't you go for the exchange program?"
Bai Ming pouted. "There's nowhere else to go, you know. You all went to the Ask Dao Sect, Shi Chan went to the Hanging Temple, Yan Tianzhi went to the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace, male disciples aren't allowed to go there, I have two junior sisters who went there, and I go to the Prison Suppressing Sect often, so there's no need to go there. That's why I can only stay in the sect."
As Bai Ming walked, he introduced the Five Elements Sect to Lu Yang and the others.
"As you saw on the flying boat, our Five Elements Sect is built upon the Five Spirit Vein. Based on our different areas of expertise, the sect is divided into five branches according to the Five Elements. The person who greeted you with Master just now was the Grand Elder of the Fifth Branch. He had a personal grudge against an elder of your Ask Dao Sect when he was young and wanted to catch up with your elder, but unfortunately he couldn't come."
"What personal grudge do you have?"
Bai Ming had heard his master mention several conflicts between the Five Elements Sect and the Ask Dao Sect: "There are many, such as frequent fights. When your Ask Dao Sect had more elders, you would use a human wave tactic to beat our elders, and when you had fewer people, you would go to the government to report it to the authorities."
"Sometimes they even use their femininity. Your sect's Fourth Elder wrote to our elder, speaking as a female cultivator, saying that he had admired our elder for a long time and hoped to meet him. The letter also said that he was shy and did not want to meet too many people, and wanted to meet our elder alone. So our elder went, and then nine people jumped out from behind a big rock. Can you imagine that scene?"
Lu Yang felt this scheme sounded very familiar. Had the Fourth Elder learned this trick after being burned before?
Li Haoran was afraid that some elders from the Five Elements Sect might be eavesdropping on their conversation. Bai Ming's words reminded them of old grudges and would turn their anger towards them. He quickly changed the subject and asked, "Which sect do you belong to?"
"Me? I am proficient in the Five Elements Law Technique, but I do not belong to the Five Lineages; I belong to the Sect Master's lineage."
"Only those who are proficient in all five Law Techniques, like me, can become disciples of the Sect Master." Bai Ming said this with a hint of pride, a smile playing on his lips. His mastery of the five elements of Law Technique made him one in a hundred in the Five Elements Sect, a truly rare talent.
"Then can I do it too?" Lu Yang pointed to himself.
His Law Technique talent is exceptional. He can use the Golden Law Technique for metal magic, the Wood Element Law Technique for wood magic, he hasn't learned water Law Technique yet, he can use the Samadhi Fire Law Technique for Fire Element magic, and he can use the Shrinking Earth Law Technique for earth magic.
Bai Ming turned to look at Lu Yang, a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Your Law Technique talent is really impressive, quite suitable to become a disciple of a master. Why didn't you come to our Five Elements Sect back then?"
Lu Yang scratched his head awkwardly. "The Ask Dao Sect is close to home, so I thought I'd give it a try first. I didn't expect it to work so quickly."
Bai Ming: "..."
What a simple reason.
The bonus chapter at the end has a commissioned piece from the Immortal Fairy, worth Extended Net Moon, right?
