The Desire to Be Eternal

Chapter 67: Elder Brother, Where is the Teacher?

The Spirit Stream Sect had eight mountain peaks. Four on the north bank, three on the south bank, and one in the middle …. It was Daoseed Mountain, which was the public seat of the sect power. Normally, Sectional Leader Zheng Yuandong would handle the affairs of the sect from that location.

Currently, the bells clang as the Sovereign of the various mountain peaks in the north and south sat upright and straight in the main temple hall. The sect leader was also there, sitting in the middle position.

Soon, Li Qinghou and Ouyang Jie arrived with Bai Xiaochun. They left Bai Xiaochun outside the temple hall, telling him to wait there as they entered.

There were four disciples stationed as guards outside the temple, who threw strange glances towards Bai Xiaochun.

Bai Xiaochun smiled back at them. This was his first time coming to this place; spiritual energy was abundant, and the fragrant aroma of plants and flowers filled the air. There was no foreign sound in the air; everything was calm and silent, much different from Fragrant Cloud Peak.

This was a very important place within the sect, and normally, any disciple who came here would act very carefully and wisely. However, Bai Xiaochun did not seem to feel any pressure at all, and standing there looked extremely comfortable.

The four disciples could not help but sigh in this, and ponder that Bai Xiaochun truly deserves to be known as an important person in this sect, someone who has done an incredible service. After all, an ordinary person would never be able to act so casually in a place like this.

The truth was that even though Bai Xiaochun was afraid of death, after considering the services he had performed, he knew that he would not die here. Therefore, it was natural that he was not afraid. He stuck out his chest, his heart filled with anticipation of what the reward was.

“Given the level of service I provide for this sect, they must give me medicinal pills to increase my lifespan by a hundred years. They will most likely give me 1,000,000 merit points as well, and perhaps an incredible immortal cave.I am sure to be promoted to the Inner Sect as well. Ha ha ha." The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. However, after a long time had passed, no news came calling him to the temple.

Bai Xiaochun was somewhat surprised. He continued to wait until he yawned before, finally, a voice spoke in a somewhat disappointed tone.

"Bai Xiaochun, come in."

His spirit immediately lifted. Taking a deep breath, he tried to look like an image of a disciple who was about to go to hell or to the water for his sect. Stepping into the main temple, he clasped his hands and bowed.

"Murid Bai Xiaochun from Fragrant Cloud Peak, at your service. Greetings, Sect Leader. Greetings, another senior member of the sect. "

After giving his official greetings, Bai Xiaochun looked up. He immediately saw an old man sitting in the middle of the group. He looked threatening without anger, and was wearing a long white robe. His cultivation base was completely unreadable.

He was surrounded by eight other people, a group of six men and two women. Li Qinghou and Ouyang Jie were among them, and they all seemed to be measuring this Bai Xiaochun who had somehow returned alive.

Their eyes were on his clothes. Considering the strength of their eyesight, it was obvious to them that Bai Xiaochun's clothes had been accidentally torn apart, but that he had actually experienced a deadly battle.

They also noticed how pure and fair he was. He spoke politely, and was neither arrogant nor overly humble. From the look on his face, he looked completely calm.

Although none of them reacted at all to what they saw, inwardly, their impression of Bai Xiaochun was increasing. However, some are still somewhat suspicious of what actually happened.

Li Qinghou looked at Bai Xiaochun and then slowly said, "Bai Xiaochun, please explain in detail everything related to the mission to the Luochen Clan, from start to finish."

Looking very serious, Bai Xiaochun calmly told her everything that had happened, from start to finish. He left an incident with the black-robed old man; that was his secret to keep.

He intertwined Feng Yan sacrificing himself into the story, as well as the various difficulties they faced. He was an intelligent person, so he did not mention anything about what he had done that was worth doing, but continued to praise Feng Yan, Du Lingfei, and Hou Yunfei.

"It was all my fault for being useless" he said. “Older Brother Feng died trying to save me. It's all my fault…."

The more he continued in this manner, the more the sect leader and the other eyes shone with approval. Of course, these people had been practicing cultivation for many years, and were as crafty as demons. From the moment Bai Xiaochun returned wearing a certain set of clothes, they could tell what kind of person he was. Even so, their praise only continued to grow.

"After he lost consciousness, he just woke up all healed?" the sect leader thought, smiling. He did not mind Bai Xiaochun's explanatory version. After all, the disciples always had secrets to nurture. It was best for them to feel like they belonged to a sect, and exercising absolute control of every aspect of their lives would only serve to have the opposite effect.

After the story was finished, the sect leader said, "Bai Xiaochun, your reward was already announced a few months ago. Back then, you became a Spirit Streaming Sect .. a prestige disciple! "

When the Sect Leader actually said the words 'prestige disciple', a strange feeling appeared in his heart. After all, this was the first time any Prestige disciple had lived.

That was one of the reasons why the discussion was so difficult earlier. The position of the Prestige disciple was very important, and previously it was only given to those who died in battle, never being a living disciple. However, here Bai Xiaochun was right in front of them, healthy and no worse to wear ….

That was one of the reasons why they were all so shocked to hear the news that he was still alive.

Moreover, it was a status that could not be stripped away just like that. Funeral services have been held, and services have been held. The group was somewhat confused about what to do, and thus left Bai Xiaochun waiting outside for some time.

After much discussion, they decided that there was no way to change what had already been announced. In accordance with the sect rules, they would allow Bai Xiaochun to maintain that position.

"Murid prestige?" Bai Xiaochun asked, looking shocked. He had never heard of such a title before, so he just stood there, staring blankly at the sect leader and the other Senior sect members. Although they all had strange expressions on their faces, they did not say anything else regarding the reward.

Bai Xiaochun could not help but ask, "Uh ... is that all?"

"That's it," replied the Sect Leader, smiling.

"As a disciple of Prestige, you rank higher than the Inner Sect, and possess the most prestigious glory in the entire Spirit Stream Sect. Your descendants will all have special access to the sect resources, and will be disciples of the Inner Sect from birth. The Spirit Stream Sect will protect your bloodline for good!

"Right now, there were nine great clans that were part of the Spirit Stream Sect, and all of them were Prestige clans. This is a truly noble and honorable position. "

When Bai Xiaochun heard his explanation, a somewhat sad expression appeared on his face. His spirit suddenly sank, and he looked at Li Qinghou dejectedly, then back at the sect leader.

He's not sure what to say. Although the position of the Prestige disciple seemed extraordinary, the truth was that it had been created for the descendants of the deceased. But he's alive …. Sadly, Bai Xiaochun was now in an unfortunate position of being jealous of his own descendants.

"Thank you .. The sect leader ..." he said sadly, lacking the energy to speak.

Sect Leader Zheng Yuandong cleared his throat awkwardly. "From today on, you can call me as the sect leader of Elder Brother."

The matter of making Bai Xiaochun his master's apprentice had been made because he assumed Bai Xiaochun had sacrificed his life. But now that he was alive, it led to a very awkward situation. The sect leader, despite having lived for many years under his belt, would now have a twenty-year-old child calling him Big Brother. He could not help but sigh inwardly.

"Thank you?" Bai Xiaochun asked, his eyes widened. Suddenly, he felt much, much better. He had entered the temple hall with high hopes, only to ruthlessly destroy it. It put him in a terrible mood. But now, everything has changed.

"Based on the meritorious service you do, and given that you do not have an official Master, I take the responsibility of accepting you as a disciple of my own Master. Therefore, from now on you can call me Brother. " Spectal Leader couldn't feel more awkward.

Bai Xiaochun took a deep breath, and his eyes were filled with excitement. He was suddenly filled with the sensation that the sect was really treating him well. The sect leader master would definitely be classed as the main elder in the sect, which caused Bai Xiaochun's eyes to radiate with glee.

“From now on,” thought, “no one will dare bully me, not with such an amazing Master! Ha ha!!" The heart leaped with joy, he clasped his hands and bowed deeply.

"Thank you very much, sect leader Elder Brother," he said, sounding elated. "Strade leader Elder Brother, where exactly is our Master? I want to go and pay my respects. "

A strange expression could be seen on the face of the sect leader as he slowly said, "There's no rush in that. There was a portrait made before he died in meditation, which was immortalized on the back side of the mountain.I've made arrangements for some people to escort you there immediately. "

Bai Xiaochun felt as if he had been struck by lightning. “Died in meditation…. Taped to the back side of the mountain …. "

His jaw was gaping as the words he had just spoken echoed in his mind. After a while, he calmed down …. The master who became his disciple .. is dead.

"i…." Bai Xiaochun was now starting to roil with anger, and his mind was buzzing. Once again her heart sank, and she wanted to cry, even though there were no tears flowing. It was in a virtual daze that he allowed himself to be led to the back of the mountain, where he gave an official salute to his teacher's portrait. After which, he left Daoseed Mountain and returned to Fragrant Cloud Peak.

On Fragrant Cloud Peak, many disciples rushed over to give their greetings. Curious expressions could be seen in their eyes, and someone even kindly led him to look at his own tombstone.

When Bai Xiaochun saw the tombstone, everything seemed to be black.

Finally, he found himself back in his yard, sitting empty in his log cabin, a burning rage within him. "I ... I became a painting student …"

A few days later, he was still there, looking sad. Half a month passed before he managed to calm down.

Sighing miserably, he left his residence to look for Big Fatty Zhang, in memory of the past. However, as soon as he walked out, he met an Outer Sect disciple who immediately clasped his hands and bowed deeply.

"Greetings, Sect Uncle Bai."

Bai Xiaochun took a few more steps, then stopped and turned around, his eyes shining as he grabbed the Outer Sect disciple and pulled him forward.

"What did you just call me?"

"Secte Uncle Bai!" the Outer Sect disciple immediately replied. "Master, you are the Young Brother of the sect leader. D-disciples will naturally call you Sect Uncle Bai! "

Bai Xiaochun's fist loosened, and his eyes began to shine brighter. His heart also began to beat. His new status is not so bad. He has a terrible level of seniority ….

Licking his lips, he started laughing, which frightened the Outer Sect disciples so much that he started to retreat, unsure of what had happened to Bai Xiaochun.

Bai Xiaochun suddenly stopped laughing. Clearing his throat, he airs the Senior sect members and slightly nods at the Outer Sect disciples. Instead of searching for Big Fatty Zhang, he expectantly headed for the Mission Office.

Because ... that's where most people are.

Meanwhile, Li Qinghou had returned to Fragrant Cloud Peak, and was in secluded meditation. After sitting cross-legged, he thought for a while, then waved his sleeve. Serious expression, he started concocting pills.

“Xiaochun is stubborn and mischievous. I need to prepare a life-saving magical item for him. Unfortunately, I am not very proficient in forging equipment, but I can make a batch of Nine Ultimates Pills to trade with the Pill Stream Sect…. When they found out that I was preparing a magical item for Qi Condensation disciples, and younger relatives, they would definitely tear me apart. " Li Qinghou shook his head, but did not mind. In order to concoct the Nine Ultimates Pills, he had to use some of his own blood-heart, but when thinking about how close Bai Xiaochun was to death, he finished the qi, clearing his mind, and begin preparations to begin concocting. .
