XIAO SHUXIANG'S

123 - Creating a Strong Sect [Revised]

Xiao Shuxiang slashed a bit of his hair, he then put on his uniform and then stepped towards the door.

Although the wounds and pain in his back had already disappeared from consuming the pill, yet somehow Xiao Shuxiang still felt a slight pain in the gap of his buttocks.

When he was outside, he saw his eight brothers. Hou Yong walked up to him and invited Xiao Shuxiang to join them.

Hai Feng also called. "Come here, Brother Xiao!"

"What's wrong?"

Bao Yu, "Brother Xiao, we want to visit Big Brother Lu Yang Beautiful. Last time hearing the news, their sect was attacked by a Demon Wolf Sect cultivator."

Jing Mi, "Me and the others are worried. Moreover, last night Zhi Shu was like having a nightmare about Big Brother Lu Yang Beautiful."

Hou Yong, "Brother Xiao, you'll come too, right?"

"Today I have to meet Grandpa Long Beard. There's work to be done,"

Xiao Shuxiang patted Hou Yong on the shoulder.

He looked at his friends and asked them to listen. "Bao Yu, Hai Feng and Zhi Shu. You three go there. While the five of you are, I have a special task for you to do."

!!

Jing Mi and Hou Yong gasped, they had previously agreed they would go together to see the state of the Silver Bamboo Sect disciples. But Xiao Shuxiang was..

"Brother Xiao, we also want to go there.."

Yi Wen and Hou Yong asked Xiao Shuxiang to let them go. Xiao Shuxiang continued to forbid.

"Going too much is likely to cause unnecessary trouble," Xiao Shuxiang also requested that Bao Yu, Hai Feng and Zhi Shu not wear the uniforms of the Butterfly Sect as it was too conspicuous.

Xiao Shuxiang, "Right now, the state of our sect is not yet strong enough to accept an opponent. Our residence has precious herbs and pills. And besides, I myself am a priceless asset possessed by the Butterfly Sect. If this sect is attacked, even I am not sure that I can defend my own life let alone protect this residence. Relying on Ping Gou troops or the Three Elders would only cause endless trouble. You may not understand what I mean, but-"

"We understand, Brother Xiao."

!

Xiao Shuxiang looked at Jing Mi who was smiling towards him. Bao Yu and Hou Yong patted Xiao Shuxiang's shoulders gently with a smile.

"We know our strength is still too weak. If it increased its practice with pills, the Butterfly Sect would be invincible. But our junior-junior combat experience and techniques are lacking..." Ro Wei explained that the high practices obtained instantly would be of no use. "... We ourselves too... Still too weak."

Xiao Shuxiang did not refute, he nodded in agreement. Ro Wei and the others were still too weak to protect something precious to them.

"That's why I ask, who will go to Brother Zong's place there are only three of you. The rest stay here."

Bao Yu, Hai Feng, and Zhi Shu nodded. The three then went to change their uniforms.

Now, all that was left were Jing Mi, Hou Yong, Yi Wen, Ro Wei, Feng Ying and Xiao Shuxiang.

"Now, what duty do you want to give us, Brother Xiao?" Jing Mi looked at Xiao Shuxiang, her eyes containing curiosity.

Xiao Shuxiang smiled, "You will teach junior disciples how to fight. I don't care how you teach them. But there are things you must remember well..."

Xiao Shuxiang grinned, he then stared intently at his companions. ".. If only one of them remains the same, I will punish all of you..!"

Xiao Shuxiang then glanced at Yi Wen, he spoke again. "Yi Wen, so far only you look a little like me. So I told you, make them have a good nightmare.."

!!

A smile rose on Yi Wen's face, he knew the intent of Xiao Shuxiang's words. "If that's for sure, Brother Xiao. I've thought about this a long time before..!"

Yi Wen and Xiao Shuxiang chuckled, over time their laughter turned into an evil laughter. Jing Mi and Hou Yong even fell into shock upon hearing the laughter of the two.

"Alright, you do your job well. I'll go first." Xiao Shuxiang started walking away leaving his friends.

Jing Mi and her friends began to carry out the duties that Xiao Shuxiang had given them. The five gathered all the junior disciples and divided them into five groups.

Only the members of Feng Ying's group had five disciples, while Jing Mi and her friends had six disciples.

The first exercise, all students were taught some warm-up movements, playing chases around the building, to play 'Keeping Treasure'.

Elsewhere, as promised-Xiao Shuxiang brought her food as well as wine to Duan De.

The Long Bearded Grandfather was so happy. Xiao Shuxiang's cooking was so delicious, it was even more delicious than the last dish he ate.

And what made Duan De the most happy to the point of shedding tears was when he felt the wine that Xiao Shuxiang had brought.

"This is the best wine ever! How did you find him, son?! This delicious wine must be very expensive!"

Xiao Shuxiang nodded, the capital making Arak Anak Linglung is of course expensive when viewed in terms of the price of herbs and Xiao Shuxiang's effort to concoct them.

But if you want to be compared, Xiao Shuxiang's Dragon Emperor Arak is the most expensive.

Xiao Shuxiang sighed, he remembered in his first life-He was so hard-pressed to buy wine. Even to exchange Demonic Core alone, all the shopkeepers would immediately close their doors upon seeing him.

"Haaahs.. Only senior Zhou is good to me. Hiya... Poor Xiao Shuxiang.." Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his chest and started drinking a small cup of his Arak Child Linglung.

Plaque!

Duan De hit Xiao Shuxiang's back with his wooden mistar. He scolded Xiao Shuxiang for drinking wine when he was too young.

"You don't deserve this drink yet, boy..!" Duan De again hit Xiao Shuxiang, he then told the child to come with him.

Duan De taught Xiao Shuxiang some sword forging techniques. He explained that the strong swordsman should be able to fuse with his weapon, as if the weapon was like a part of his own body.

"Grandfather Long Beard, why did you teach me to forge a sword? Don't you know that you're investing in the destruction of this continent right now."

Duan De looked at Xiao Shuxiang, the boy seemed to have a plain face and eyes. It was a pity that he was too infatuated to want to become the Destroying Star.

"Son, you should never be him. You've heard what the end of his life is like, haven't you?" Duan De placed the sword on Xiao Shuxiang's right shoulder.

"The Destroying Star you admire... He killed his own family, massacred his fellow-criminal brothers, destroyed many sects to satisfy his murderous lust.

No man whom he considers a friend, no family, walks alone, darkness becomes the light of his path, his purpose is only destruction. Do you want to be like him?"

Xiao Shuxiang stared at Duan De within, this old rascal who was only an ordinary human, he was not a cultivator. But every word..

"Only partially true, Grandpa Long Beard. I never felt lonely, and Xiao Shuxiang had two friends that he acknowledged.. That was-"

"You mean Immortal cultivator Zhou Yuan and his Sword Spirit?"

!!

Xiao Shuxiang blinked a few times, Duan De's guess was very correct.

"Son, in the end they both died at the hands of the Destroying Star. Does he feel guilty about doing so? No Son! Someone who has a heart as close as night.. I will never feel guilty for anything."

Xiao Shuxiang held onto the Duan De sword that was on his shoulder, he raised the sword slowly as his innocent gaze remained on the long-bearded old geezer.

A thin smile was painted on Xiao Shuxiang's face, he then walked over and began to practice the forging techniques that Duan De had taught him.

During the entire day, Xiao Shuxiang continued to learn sword forging. He just rested when night came. That too.. Xiao Shuxiang is about to forge a sword again.

The junior disciples of the Butterfly Sect were seen holding their stomachs while vomiting.

At first they were happy because the way to train Jing Mi and her friends was like playing together.

But everything changed when Yi Wen took over the entire group. He told them to run up the mountain.

The higher the climb, the thinner the air until their chest hurts. Not only that, Yi Wen interfered with some Demonic Beasts to attack them.

The training became terrifying as the five seniors taught them to fight and hunt Demonic Beasts.

They would be punished if they could not count the Demonic Beast's ribs and intestines.

The first time doing so, some of the disciples were instantly unconscious. They could not bear to see blood, especially if they had to see and touch the internal organs of the Demonic Beast.

All the junior disciples of the Butterfly Sect had never performed the Mental Strengthening Technique. The tormented expressions of their junior disciples made Yi Wen hold back a laugh.

Jing Mi recalled her experience. In the beginning, he was also like these juniors.

Their training lasted for a week. Gradually the junior disciples of the Butterfly Sect had gotten used to killing and seeing the organs within the Demonic Beast.

The way of training Yi Wen, Jing Mi and her brothers were not fooling around. They were training like venting their pent-up feelings towards the training that his fifth received from Xiao Shuxiang.

"EVERYTHING ATTENTION!" Jing Mi exclaimed loudly. In front of all his younger brothers and sisters he said their intentions and goals of doing this training.

"Our Main Goal Is to Defeat Brother Xiao! Attack Him Like You Want to Kill Him! Never Doubt!!"

!!

Li Qian Xie, Hun Fung and their brothers were so shocked to hear Jing Mi's exclamation.

"Isn't he 14?"

"He's too young, won't be able to face us all.."

"These Senior.. Why did they become insane..?!"

Yi Wen noticed a look of confusion and disbelief on the faces of his juniors. With a serious look and face, he exclaimed.

"Brother Xiao will test you. Whether you all deserve to live in this place or not. So listen carefully! When he came... Never hold back your strength!"
