Chapter 174 Discussion
Perhaps sensing Liu Jun's gaze, the person at the last seat also cupped his hands in her direction and introduced himself:
"Luo Weishui of the Xiaoyao Sect has met the Immortal Qingjun."
Xiaoyao Sect?
Liu Jun remembered that Baili Shu was also a member of the Xiaoyao Sect. Baili Shu's talent was not bad, and he was even considered one of the most outstanding among his peers. He must have a high status in the Xiaoyao Sect. He wondered if Luo Weishui was related to that kid.
"I've heard that your sect has made great achievements in the art of physiognomy, and that your physiognomy skills are unparalleled, Fellow Daoist Luo. If you have nothing else to do another day, you can come to Qiwu Peak and play a couple of games of chess with me."
Although the veil could obscure her face, few of those present were ordinary people. They could all see the unfathomable emotions hidden in those exposed eyes.
These words were tantamount to receiving Liu Jun's permission, and everyone present looked at each other in surprise. Even Luo Weishui, the person in question, glanced at the person above with great astonishment.
Could it be that there are things in this world that even a half-step immortal like her cannot fathom, requiring Luo Weishui's physiognomy skills to help her?
"I am more than happy to accept the invitation from the immortals."
"Very good."
Liu Jun always maintained an indifferent demeanor, making it impossible to guess what she was up to.
Bei Muliu, who was sitting in front of the table, couldn't sit still any longer: "What's so good about that kid that he won Qingjun's favor? Qingjun, why don't you take a look at me? My strength is much stronger than his."
Liu Jun didn't even move his head, only glancing at him indifferently and saying, "Things don't happen more than three times. This is the first warning. Fellow Immortal Bei should know what's good for him."
The oppressive aura immediately hit him head-on, and Bei Muliu's face turned pale. He slammed his hand heavily on the table as if he was enduring something, and a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
But in just a breath or two, he returned to normal as if nothing had happened.
"If Immortal Qingjun is not pleased, then I will stop joking with you in the future."
She said this was just a warning, but if there was a next time, Bei Muliu was certain she would take action, though he wasn't sure if it would draw blood.
Bei Muliu forgot that this woman was different from all the women in the world. Whether she was happy or unhappy, she could easily kill anyone below her. He still tried to use those tricks to coax women on such a person.
Even realizing this, Bei Muliu still didn't want to give up. Otherwise, why would he be so persistent in trying to seduce her after only a few meetings? Was it just lust at first sight...?
"Where is Fellow Immortal Mu Cang Zong Yin?"
Yin Cong, who was watching the commotion from the middle seat, was suddenly called by name. He quickly bowed and replied, "Yin Cong of the Mu Cang Sect greets Immortal Qingjun."
Upon seeing the burly man who responded to her, Liu Jun was puzzled for a moment.
Isn't the Mu Cang Sect supposed to be a sect that cultivates swordsmanship? This big man... he looks like a physical cultivator.
As a body cultivator who had undergone extensive physical training, his cultivation level appeared slightly inferior to the other guests present. Liu Jun was simply puzzled as to why a body cultivator would be under the tutelage of the Mu Cang Sect.
It's not that sword-cultivating sects are not allowed to have body cultivators, it's just that it's a bit of an accident. I didn't hear about this when I went to Mu Cang Sect last time.
The novel doesn't describe these people who have nothing to do with the female protagonist. In fact, most of the people present, including herself, are not described much in the book, so it's not surprising that no one knows about them.
Lu Xihan is probably already deep in some unknown secret realm, leveling up. This part of the story is completely blank in the novel.
Liu Jun nodded to Yin Cong, indicating that they had met.
"Today's gathering is not only for paying respects, but also for you all to discuss your thoughts and ideas. I am not a debater, nor am I good at grand discussions. If you are right, I will discuss it further with you. If you are not right, I will not say much. Please feel free to speak your mind, regardless of your status."
"Very well, Immortal Qingjun speaks frankly, then I shall make a fool of myself first!"
This level of discussion and debate is different from ordinary discussions and debates, and it's not something anyone can listen to just because they want to.
If someone's cultivation level is not high, they won't be able to understand what it means. If they misunderstand it, it could damage their foundation and disrupt their Dao mind. That's why Liu Jun set up a barrier to prevent lower-level people from hearing anything "extraordinary".
……
The banquet and discussion lasted for ten days and ten nights without stopping. No one inside the hall came out, but several groups of people came and went outside. Some people, unwilling to give up, stayed there waiting for an opportunity to appear.
As the days and months passed, the banquet finally came to an end a month later. However, the people in the main hall did not show any signs of fatigue; they were all in high spirits.
After a discussion, some people gained a lot, while others left empty-handed.
Once the barrier was removed, those who were still diligently guarding outside the hall immediately perked up, but no one dared to rush in. Only one or two people kept a close eye on the commotion inside, and more and more people gathered at the entrance to watch the excitement.
Some people excitedly called out to their disciples to prepare to return home, while others left dejectedly. Finally, the elders and the sect leader, who were in charge of the ceremony, walked out of the main hall to conclude the event.
Seeing the younger generation and guests still eagerly waiting outside the door, Lü Yuanbai helplessly greeted them, "Alright, go back now, Ancestor..."
Lu Yuanbai glanced back at the now empty hall and said, "The Ancestor has already returned. You all don't need to wait here any longer."
"Alas, what a pity. I wonder when I will be able to see this Immortal Qingjun again."
"Although I didn't get to see Immortal Qingjun, it would still be good to meet those few. Nowadays, I don't see anyone who has the ability to gather so many representatives from various sects."
"That's true, but I wonder when I'll see these people again."
"Sect Leader, Sect Leader, why can't the Ancestor come out and see us juniors?"
"Yes, yes, even if we can't meet with their own sect members, we should at least meet with them."
"A bunch of ignorant brats! Do you think you can just see the patriarch whenever you want? There are still many elders and true masters in that sect that we haven't even met yet. You wish! Go, go and cultivate!"
A hot-tempered elder from the side immediately launched into a tirade against them.
These words were not only spoken to these disciples, but also to those who, ignorant of their own limitations, came seeking opportunities.
The Xuanshan Sect may be able to let these people into the sect for various reasons, but that doesn't mean they can harass the patriarch with impunity.
If any fool disturbs the peace of the Ancestor, they can do whatever they want even if someone dies in their Xuanshan Sect.
With no hope of meeting, there was no need for everyone to gather here. Before long, only a few elders remained standing in the main hall.
Lu Yuanbai then turned to the people behind him and said, "If there's nothing else, you can all go back now. The Ancestor probably won't be coming here to inspect again anytime soon."
Without saying anything more, the group bowed to Lü Yuanbai and flew back to their respective mountain caves, leaving only Xing Lou standing there steadily.
Lu Yuanbai then said to him, "Alright, don't forget what the ancestor instructed."
Xing Lou looked in the direction of Luo Qianfeng and put his hands behind his back: "Of course not, but how come this old man Gongsun has been in seclusion for even longer than me? I wonder what my grandmaster master instructed him on. As for his disciples, he didn't really care about them after taking them in. I should have let me take them in instead."
"Alright, alright, you're always thinking about that kid Zhao Shi. He's Elder Gongsun's eldest disciple now. Forget about it. Go find that little girl surnamed Wei instead."
"Alright, alright, you're so long-winded. No wonder Master chose you to be the sect leader."
Xing Lou fled without a word, leaving Lü Yuanbai there with a helpless sigh before returning to the main hall.
The conclusion of the discussion does not mean that the guests will immediately return. This is only their first encounter with Immortal Qingjun, and some of them have been waiting for several years since the news spread.
Now that I know he's back, and I've seen him from afar once more, I naturally have even more confidence to stay.
However, Xuanshan Sect would not keep such idle people. If there was no reason for them to stay, they should either pay the accommodation fee or leave.
Xuanshan Sect isn't a charity; what if some bad things accidentally sneak in?
Even so, the Xuanshan Sect's mountain and its surroundings were still filled with people. They had spirit stones but nowhere to spend them, and the Xuanshan Sect could expand its income, so why not? This kept Lu Yuanbai, the sect leader, extremely busy.
With so many people, many things become difficult to manage.
It's common for minor conflicts to occur between disciples and outsiders from time to time, so Lü Yuanbai had previously opened the training grounds for them to fight.
When in doubt, just send them all to the training ground and let them fight. As long as no one dies, the grudges will be settled after the fight.
Moreover, as Lü Yuanbai repeatedly raised the rent for living outside and at the foot of the mountain, over time, the number of people waiting for their opportunities gradually decreased, and Xuanshan Sect slowly returned to peace.
