Chapter 49

Yue Qing's response took everyone by surprise: "Sister, you know that I wish to revive the Wutai Sect and restore the glorious achievements of my teacher in his prime. However, I am just one person and find it very difficult to do so alone. Three years ago, I discussed with my senior sister the idea of opening the mountain gates upon our return to recruit more disciples. However, as you know, it's hard to find good disciples. I noticed that these two disciples of yours, Lu Rongbo and Wei Rong, have the highest magical abilities, so I boldly ask you to let them transfer to my sect. Of course, I noticed that what they have learned is not directly from your lineage, which is why I dare to make this request. I actually quite like Wu Fan, but unfortunately, he practices the authentic Diqu Gold Chapter of your sect, and it’s a pity that we have no connection!"

The hall of Huangjing Temple was silent. Wu Fan, who most wanted to follow Yue Qing, was disappointed when he wasn't chosen, but he became happy again after hearing the rest, feeling very grateful to Yue Qing. As for Lu Rongbo and Wei Rong, they were completely stunned, never expecting that they would be taken away. They looked at Chufeng, waiting for her decision.

Chufeng hadn't expected Yue Qing to make this request. She thought he would ask for various treasures from Ziyun Palace, or even to view the Diqu Gold Chapter and the Tianmo Secret Manual, but she never thought he would ask for people.

Chufeng's first reaction was that Yue Qing had colluded with Lu Rongbo and Wei Rong in advance. However, he had been underground at the sea eye for over two years and had never met Lu and Wei. Moreover, she had heard that on the first day Yue Qing arrived, Wei Rong had embarrassed him, so it didn't seem like they were colluding. Yue Qing's reasons were also quite sufficient, which quickly dispelled her doubts.

As for whether to agree to this request, Chufeng made her decision almost instantly. Lu Rongbo was originally a ground immortal with a complete cultivation, ready to ascend to the heavens, but was interrupted halfway by Sanfeng using magic sand to disperse his ascending light, forcing him to join Ziyun Palace. As for Wei Rong, he was already a scattered immortal before entering the palace. His motivation was clear; after Sanfeng captured Lu Rongbo, he eagerly sought to become a disciple of Jinxun Nu, asking the two to take him back to the palace. After entering the palace, unlike Wu Fan, who was greedy for the palace's scenery and treasures, he often acted suspiciously with Lu Rongbo, which didn't seem to be out of good intentions.

With such people in Ziyun Palace, Chufeng, relying on her magical abilities, wasn't afraid of them causing trouble. But if she could send them away, especially doing a great favor, she was naturally happy to go along with it: "Lu Rongbo, Wei Rong, come over and pay respects to your new masters!"

The two hadn't yet weighed the pros and cons, and their future was decided by Chufeng. Knowing that the Grand Palace Master was kind-hearted but once she spoke, it was hard to change, and being in a dragon's lair, they had no power to resist, they had to come over and pay respects.

Yue Qing waved his hand: "Let me finish speaking. From today, the two of you will leave Ziyun Palace and join our Wutai Sect. Everyone here will be witnesses, especially the four Wudang Daoists, who are a third party and can be fair. I am determined to reform the old rules. From now on, Wutai Sect will no longer mix male and female disciples, but will only take males for males and females for females. Therefore, Lu Rongbo, you will be under Senior Sister Xu."

Lu Rongbo disliked Xu Feiniang, but he didn't dare refuse and went to kowtow to her.

Xu Feiniang smiled and said, "I know all about you. After we return, I will teach you the Taiyi True Explanation of our sect, ensuring that you will achieve the Yangshen and ascend to the heavens as a celestial immortal." She then said to Sanfeng and Chufeng, "Since Lu Rongbo is now my disciple, shouldn't her life token be given to me?"

Chufeng slapped her forehead: "I forgot about that. Third Sister, the life token is stored inside the Jinting Yuzhu. Go and get it."

It turned out that because Lu Rongbo was forced to join the palace, Chufeng feared she would betray and escape, so she used magic to create a life token to restrict Lu Rongbo's soul. If she tried to escape and was discovered, the token would be activated, and Lu Rongbo would be burned by magic fire, disappearing within two hours.

Sanfeng, now satisfied and considering Xu Feiniang as a sister, had no objections and went to fetch the token and handed it to Xu Feiniang.

Xu Feiniang held the token, rubbed her hands, and summoned the Five Elements True Qi, which broke the magical restrictions on the token. Finally, the pure gold token melted into gold water.

After destroying the life token, Xu Feiniang took out a gourd: "In the past, I obtained several treasures from the cave where Guangchengzi practiced in Kongtong Mountain, all of which were treasures from 5,000 years ago when Guangchengzi was alive. This gourd contains the purest yang energy collected and refined by ancient immortals at noon, condensed into the Sun True Fire, and within the fire, 49 Sun Spirit Needles have been cultivated for thousands of years, possessing immense power to counteract yin and evil treasures. As a yuan ying, you are most afraid of being coveted by evil sects, and their various yin fires and yin thunder can greatly harm you. With this treasure to protect you, you will be safe."

Lu Rongbo didn't expect Xu Feiniang to give him such a valuable treasure and was stunned. When Xu Feiniang handed the gourd to her, she quickly realized and hurriedly thanked her, receiving the gourd amidst the jealous and envious gazes of everyone in the hall.

Next was Wei Rong, who bowed to Yue Qing as his master. Yue Qing took out his twin swords and solemnly said, "You are my first disciple, and I will teach you everything I have learned. With your talent and insight, achieving the celestial immortal level will not be difficult, and even the Golden Immortal realm is not out of reach. These twin Feixing Swords were given to me by my grandmaster, and now I pass them to you. I hope you will set an example as the senior disciple of the Wutai Sect and be a role model for your junior disciples!"

Wei Rong took the twin swords, which were like crystal jade, almost transparent. When he turned them, the light flowed like a liquid, and with a light swing, silver stars scattered, far surpassing the sword used by his original master!

Compared to the Sun Spirit Needles left by Guangchengzi that Lu Rongbo received, these twin swords seemed slightly inferior, but they were forged by the Taiyi Hunyuan Ancestor and had been refined by Yue Qing for over 300 years, making them very significant. Wei Rong hadn't yet understood the true intentions behind Yue Qing taking him and Lu Rongbo from Ziyun Palace, so he was somewhat uneasy. However, now that Yue Qing had given him his personal flying swords and Lu Rongbo had received a treasure that everyone envied, his heart felt heavy.

Dongxiu led the congratulations for the two new disciples, and the others followed with toasts.

Chufeng said, "This time, the four Wudang Daoists have worked hard to refine the array for our palace. Now that you and Daoist Xu have benefited, they have wasted two years of hard work!"

Yue Qing laughed, "They are old friends of mine and Senior Sister Xu. If they have any losses, they can come to me. Sister, you don't need to worry about them; just accept my gratitude!"

After all the matters were settled, Yue Qing and Xu Feiniang stayed in Ziyun Palace for another ten days before preparing to leave. Chufeng and the others tried to keep them, but they had to agree to visit again in the future. Before leaving, they were given a large amount of crystal sand and spiritual medicines from Ziyun Palace, and the entire palace came to the Immortal Welcoming Island to see them off.

The eight people left Ziyun Palace and headed north, their sword lights swift, and soon they were over Hainan Island.

Yue Qing invited the four Wudang friends to visit Wutai Mountain in the future: "Since the departure of my teacher, the Wutai Sect has been divided, with some brothers either retreating or joining other sects, and many more have lost their discipline, mixing with evil and heretical sects, falling into degeneration. My senior sister and I wish to reorganize the Wutai Sect and restore its former glory. After much thought, we decided to start with strict rules and regulations, aiming to emulate the story of Heart Enlightenment Nun and Linglingzi of your sect, and go to Wutai Mountain to refine the Taiyi Yin-Yang Sword to clean up the sect and reform the rules."

The four Wudang friends were secretly surprised: "Your resolve is truly admirable, but... but during the time of the Taiyi Hunyuan Ancestor, your sect's rules did not restrict interactions with the evil sects. Over the years, to seek revenge on the Emei Sect, your sect has made extensive alliances, making the situation far more complicated than what our Wudang Sect faced in the past."
