Chapter 256: I Want Some Of Your Yang Qi
"Kid, how about you join us? We've been waiting for you," said the mysterious figure.
A sudden energy wrapped around Chen Tian. Chen Tian was stunned as he felt his body begin to float toward the house.
The figure's words seemed to draw him in, and he couldn't resist the pull of the surrounding energy.
"Chen Tian, that person is at least a Dao Emperor Realm cultivator; you don't stand a chance of resisting," Wu Ye said in his head.
Despite feeling the urge to resist, Chen Tian knew that it would be worthless since Wu Ye said that the other party was at least a Dao Emperor.
Chen Tian hesitated for a moment before finally giving in and allowing himself to be guided toward the house.
The door opened shortly after he arrived in front of the house. After he entered, he saw Su Bingxin and Yin Yun sitting on the couch, their expressions unreadable.
Su Bingxin's eyes were piercing, as if she wanted to scold him; her face was also flushed like a rose in bloom, while Yin Yun had her head tilted slightly, looking down at her hands in her lap. What most stunned Chen Tian was the familiar figure sitting next to Yin Yun.
"Isn't this the woman that was at the reception desk?" Chen Tian thought to himself.
Chen Tian was sure that it was the same woman; he wouldn't forget such a woman. Her presence in the room made his heart race and his mind race with many thoughts.
"So she was in the Dao Emperor Realm after all," Chen Tian was relieved since he didn't use Chaos Insight on her at that time, or with Duan Shu's cultivation base, she would have already noticed what he did.
"We meet again, little kid."
Duan Shu was the first to speak; her voice was calm and composed.
"Chen Tian greets Elder Duan," Chen Tian replied respectfully, trying to keep his composure despite the swirling emotions inside him.
He still didn't know why the woman came to his house.
"You don't have to be polite to me; I came here uninvited, so there's no need for formalities," Duan Shu said, her face still unreadable.
Despite her calm demeanor, Chen Tian couldn't help but feel a sense of unease in her presence. He knew that Duan Shu was not someone to be trifled with, especially considering her powerful cultivation base.
As they stood facing each other in silence, Chen Tian was curious why this woman came to his house.
It looked like she was close to Yin Yun since she was sitting next to her, but he couldn't figure out what her intentions were.
Duan Shu finally broke the silence, her voice low and steady, as she revealed that she was a Yin Yun master and came here to discuss a matter of great importance with him.
He was slightly surprised after knowing that the woman in front of him was Yin Yun's Master and that she was one of the Nine Great Elders of the Immortal Sword Sect.
Like every Immortal sect ranks its members, first come the outer disciples, which consist of Qi Refinement and Meridian Opening Realm Cultivators. Their jobs are mostly to collect plants, kill nearby beasts, or guard the sect's gate.
The ones responsible for training and guiding them are the outer elders, who are usually more experienced cultivators and are responsible for overseeing the outer disciples' progress and ensuring they stay on the right path towards becoming stronger cultivators.
Outer Elders' strength is at least at the Dao Fusion Realm or higher.
Next in line are the inner disciples, who have reached the Foundation Establishment Realm or the Core Formation Realm and are responsible for more important tasks within the sect.
Even outer elders should show them some respect, since any inner disciple is incredibly talented.
The inner disciples are seen as the future pillars of the sect, with the potential to reach even higher realms than the outer elders. The sect values them a lot.
Above them are the Inner Elders, who have achieved the Dao Lord or higher in cultivation.
These individuals are highly revered within the sect and hold positions of great responsibility. They are the ones who guide and mentor the inner disciples, ensuring that they continue to grow and develop their cultivation.
After them, the core disciples are highly esteemed within the sect, as they are considered the future pillars and have immense talent.
Even the inner elders show them some respect, recognizing their potential to reach higher realms than themselves.
And finally, at the top of the hierarchy after the sect leader are the Great Elders, who are the most powerful cultivators in the sect and hold the highest authority.
There are only nine great elders in the sect—nine elders, each of whom is at least at the Dao Emperor Realm.
Each of these great elders occupies a mountain peak in the Immortal Sword Sect, where they cultivate and teach core disciples and some inner disciples.
Sword Peak: It echoes with the constant clang of swords and the cries of practicing cultivators.
Crimson Pill Peak is dedicated to the art of pill and elixir creation. The peak is shrouded in fragrant mist and vibrant with exotic flora used in alchemy.
Celestial Pivot Peak is home to the sect's diviners. From its observatory atop the peak, they study the heavens, seeking guidance.
Azure Cloud Peak: This peak focuses on mastering wind and flight techniques, with its disciples soaring through the clouds on their swords.
Formation Diagram Peak: Masters of formations and illusions reside here, their peak adorned with intricate patterns and talismans.
Sword Forging Peak is The heart of the sect's swordsmith, where skilled smiths craft and refine blades of unmatched quality.
Spirit Beast Peak is home to tamed spiritual animals and beasts, trained to assist cultivators in combat and exploration.
Treasured Books Peak is a vast library housing ancient texts and techniques.
Medicine Valley - Nestled amidst a tranquil valley, this hidden haven cultivates rare medicinal herbs and practices healing arts.
To Chen Tian's surprise, he has already been to Treasured Books Peak, which was the library of the sect; he didn't even notice.
Of course, he already met the Grand Elder responsible for overseeing the library, who had welcomed Yin Yun last time.
To his shock, that elder was the First Grand Elder and a powerhouse at the 9th Stage of the Dao Emperor Realm.
Also, after staying in the Immortal Sword Sect, Chen Tian came to know that Xu Zhiyuan, the second Grand Elder, was the Sword Peak Mountain master.
The Fifth Elder at that time is Azure Cloud Peak Master, and the Sixth Elder is Spirit Beast Peak Master.
After speaking with Duan Shu, Chen Tian knew that she was the Crimson Pill Peak master and a highly respected alchemist within the sect. Read fresh chapters at m_vl_em_p_yr
It was still not clear to him why Yin Yun Master had come to speak with him—whatever she had to discuss must be of utmost importance to her.
"This time I want to request your help in a matter that concerns the future of my disciple," Duan Shu said in a straightforward manner, her expression serious and determined.
Chen Tian listened to what Duan Shu had to say since the woman looked serious, and he was curious since Duan Shu said that it concerned Yin Yun.
If he could assist Yin Yun Chen Tian wouldn't mind and help since Yin Yun was his and Su Bingxin friend.
For some reason, after Duan Shu opened her mouth, Su Bingxin and Yin Yun slightly blushed and exchanged a quick glance.
Chen Tian could sense that something was wrong.
Now even Wu Ye, who was inside Chen Tian's Soul Sea, was curious about what Duan Shu had to say.
Chen Tian nodded, indicating his willingness to help.
"I want some of your Yang Qi," Duan Shu said, her eyes scanning him carefully.
Chen Tian's heart raced at the unexpected request.
"W-What!"
He was taken aback by the request, unsure of how to respond.
