Chapter 132: The Best Reward is Junior Brother
Imperial Dao Peak, behind the mountain.
In the sleeping chamber, Qin Muling lazily opened his eyes. He rolled around on the spacious sleeping couch that could accommodate dozens of people, completely wrapped in the luxurious phoenix and dragon brocade quilt. The soft and fragrant sensation enveloped him, making him so comfortable that he didn't want to move and wished it could continue like this.
There was no one beside him. Senior Sister had already left, leaving behind a faint scent in the bed. As the first disciple of Master Mu Yinghua, Qin Muling had to handle many affairs on a regular basis. He couldn't sleep like Junior Brother and wake up naturally.
"What time is it..." Qin Muling muttered. Without Senior Sister's morning bite, it was inevitable to feel grumpy when getting up. Perhaps he could consider training and cultivating Mu Xiner and the other personal maidservants, so that his future days would be more comfortable.
However, his cultivation level was not high, and he was already burdened enough by Senior Sister's tasks. If she found out that he dared to have ideas about the maidservants, he would probably be squeezed dry by her every day.
Forget it, let's talk about this later.
Qin Muling sighed and reached under the pillow to find a palm-sized exquisite jade talisman with a faint radiance. He infused a bit of Entering Spirit power into it, and the surface of the jade talisman instantly lit up.
This was a special long-range communication Law Weapon that important disciples within the sect could be equipped with. It was divided into several levels. Core disciples had one level, high-level elders had another level, the Sect Master and core elders had another level, and the Grand Elders had yet another level.
Every core disciple would receive this Law Weapon refined by the elders when they advanced to a certain stage. Qin Muling originally had one, but Mu Yinghua had Xue Bingxuan withhold it for his safety.
Until recently, after he formed a Daoist couple with Senior Sister and with the approval of their Master, he was allowed to use this Law Weapon.
After Qin Muling got it, he realized that this was the mobile phone he had used in his previous life. However, it was a product of technological civilization that could benefit billions of ordinary people. The means of the immortal cultivation civilization surpassed it in every aspect.
This kind of long-range communication Law Weapon that had been refined through secret Divine Ability rituals could achieve instant and unobstructed communication across trillions of miles in the vast starry sky. There were few methods that could interfere or destroy it, and the formations and restrictions in those forbidden areas were difficult to affect its abilities.
The Law Weapon in Qin Muling's hand was personally refined by Mu Yinghua. It was truly a high-level Law Treasure and belonged to the highest level of secrecy and authority in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. It was slightly higher than the ones used by several senior sisters.
Similar to a mobile phone, this Law Weapon also had functions such as private chat, group chat, audio and video recording, and so on. Moreover, disciples with sufficient authority could freely create or dissolve new groups, add specific disciples to the group, and perform other operations.
In the group Qin Muling was currently in, there were only five senior sisters and their Master. Once there was a need, as long as he spoke up in the group, he would immediately receive a positive response, and it wouldn't take long for his wish to be fulfilled.
In addition, there was a position for Qin Muling in the core disciples' group and the high-level elders' group. However, his identity was indeed special, so he rarely spoke in the group and maintained a transparent presence.
At this time, the surface of the jade talisman had already displayed a lot of information. Obviously, Senior Sisters had been quite diligent during Qin Muling's sleeping time, practicing meditation, refining pills and tools, competing in martial arts, and exploring and traveling... There were endless tasks.
Compared to ordinary people, cultivators did have a long lifespan. However, in pursuit of longevity and eternal freedom, thousands or tens of thousands of years of lifespan were still not enough, or it could be said that no matter how long the lifespan was, it might not be enough.
In the core disciples' group.
[Qi Shuyu: Just received the news. The sect's biennial Sword Tournament has been scheduled, and the rewards this time are more generous than previous ones. It is said that the top ten rankings will receive Law Treasures, as well as various high-level pills, talismans, and spiritual pets.]
[Bai Qingyu: Is that so? Unfortunately, I just advanced to the core disciple level, and my cultivation is limited. Even if I participate, it will only be for the sake of participating. It's impossible for me to compete for a ranking.]
[Su Yunmo: I can give it a try. By the way, Senior Qi, what is the reward for the first place this time? Law Treasure? I remember last time the reward was a Middle Grade Law Treasure, the Xuanhuo Liujin Futu Armor. Will there be a High Grade Law Treasure this time?]
[Yu Binghua: I'm not really lacking in Law Treasures. Do you have any elixirs that can enhance cultivation? It would be great if there are any. I'm not far from reaching the Immortal Transformation stage, and I need resources like that.]
[Qi Shuyu: I'm not sure about that. The sect is in a good situation now, and the elders have become more generous. They shouldn't disappoint the sisters.]
...
[Qin Muling: The Swordsmanship Conference? This kind of event designed to sharpen disciples is not lacking in any major power. The rules are more or less the same, with the strong being respected. The one with higher cultivation and better fighting skills will be the ultimate winner.]
"Of course, there are exceptions like the Huaqing Divine Palace. Their Swordsmanship Conference is about finding men. The one who can 'deal with' the most men within the specified time will be the well-deserved Flower Ranking Senior Sister."
"Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace has suddenly become rich. In order to quickly restore their strength and enhance the cultivation of their disciples, the rewards they offer must be incredibly generous. There should be top-grade Law Treasures, Heavenly Grade elixirs, and True Immortal-level spirit pets and battle beasts."
"Well, maybe I can ask my master to find out the list of prizes in advance, and then decide whether to participate or not."
Qin Muling made up his mind and switched to the core elders' group.
Sure enough, the elders with great power were discussing the details of the conference:
[Immortal Lord Huandie: Let's leave it like this for now. Xue Bingxuan and the other four saintesses don't need to participate. Their cultivation is too high, and if they get involved, the other core disciples won't have a chance to play.]
[Immortal Lord Fenghua: I agree. The cultivation of the core disciples should not exceed the Destiny Realm. Otherwise, it would disrupt the balance too much and go against the original intention of the Swordsmanship Conference.]
[Mu Yinghua: Alright, let's decide like this.]
...
The Swordsmanship Conference is organized in groups, and core disciples of different cultivation realms will be assigned to corresponding groups. The final winner of each group will receive corresponding rewards. For example, Qin Muling, who is currently at the peak of the Divine Spirit Realm, will never be arranged to compete against experts in the Destiny Realm. Otherwise, the opponent would have an easy win.
Qin Muling pondered for a moment. According to the elders' decision, the Swordsmanship Conference would be held in a month. He had enough time to break through to the Perfected Being Realm and consolidate his cultivation.
After all, the rewards for the winner in the Perfected Being Realm would definitely be higher than those in the Divine Spirit Realm. He could gain more benefits and also test his actual combat power and his current level.
Although he used to be beaten up by his senior sisters every night, due to the huge gap in cultivation, Qin Muling was always in a situation where he was overwhelmed. Unless his senior sisters deliberately held back, he would never have a chance to turn the tables.
As a result, a new message appeared in the core elders' group.
[Qin Muling: Master, and all the elders, I plan to participate in the Swordsmanship Conference for the Perfected Being Realm. Is that okay?]
[Mu Yinghua: ...]
[Xue Bingxuan: ...]
[百泉 Immortal Lord: ......]
The group fell silent for a moment, and after a few breaths, various messages quickly flooded the screen.
[玥仪天君: This is the core disciples' martial arts conference. What are you doing here?]
[ Yu Lingzhou: That's right, little junior brother, what is your identity? Do you need to participate in this kind of competition? It would be embarrassing if it got out.]
[云妙 Immortal Lord: Mu Ling, if you want to test your cultivation, you can find senior sisters. At worst, we can all help, hehe.]
[ Xue Bingxuan: Little junior brother, don't mess around. If you have nothing to do, senior sister will continue to teach you until dawn.]
The elders all expressed their opposition to Qin Muling's participation in the martial arts conference, and Mu Yinghua was no exception.
In their view, with Qin Muling's special identity, he didn't need to prove himself through this martial arts conference. He was a unique existence in the sect, surpassing any core disciple.
Therefore, Qin Muling's idea of showing off and appearing saintly in front of others at the conference was doomed to be impossible.
[ Qin Muling: Alright, then may I ask, what is the ultimate reward for this martial arts conference? If it's a resource that I can use, can you prepare a separate one for me? I won't participate.]
This time, the group remained silent for a longer time. All the elders remained silent, and even Xue Bingxuan, who cared the most about him, had no response.
[ Qin Muling: ???]
[玥仪天君: Well... we are still discussing it, um, it has something to do with you, little junior brother.]
[ Yu Lingzhou: Yes, this reward requires your cooperation, little junior brother.]
[ Qin Muling: How do I cooperate? Please explain, Master.]
He could tell that he wouldn't get an answer from the elders, so he directly asked the sect leader.
[ Mu Yinghua: According to the elders' opinions, the winners of each group in this martial arts conference can have the opportunity to cultivate by your side, become your maids, guards, or even partners. Um... do you understand what this means?]
[ Qin Muling: ......]
Qin Muling, who was still half-asleep under the covers, suddenly woke up and sat up, staring at the jade token in disbelief, making sure he wasn't seeing things.
Is this a joke? He was just asking about the list of rewards for the martial arts conference, but how did it end up with him becoming the reward?
Qin Muling felt as if thunder was rumbling above his head and began to suspect that the elders were deliberately messing with him.
Combining his experiences from his past and present lives, he had only seen similar scenes in novels and TV dramas, where some arrogant women held martial arts competitions to find a husband. The protagonist would pass through the challenges, defeat various heroes in bloody battles, and finally bring back the beauty.
But how did everything get turned upside down for Qin Muling? A group of men and women fighting to the death just to be by his side? Did he open the wrong door?
[Qin Muling: Elders, and teacher, are you serious? Senior sister, can you say something?]
In another Cave Mansion, Xue Bingxuan looked at the jade token in his hand with a complicated expression, sighed silently, and grabbed the nearby wine jug, drinking it all in one go.
[Yu Lingzhou: That's right, this is the result of our multiple discussions. Junior brother, your special significance to the sect is irreplaceable. Whether it's for the future plans of the sect or for your own path of cultivation, this matter is imperative.]
[Yun Miao Immortal Lord: Muling, your cultivation is about to break through to the Perfected Being Realm. You can take another Dao companion. Since several of your senior sisters have not returned from their journey to seek enlightenment, we have discussed and decided to arrange for you to have another elder's descendant. Therefore, the main purpose of this martial arts conference is to select a Dao companion for you.]
[Yueyi Heavenly Lord: Don't worry, they are all unparalleled beauties, with exceptional talent and luck. They will not let you down. Just wait to become the groom.]
Qin Muling rubbed his face. Finally, he understood that these elders were envious of the benefits his senior sister gained from him, so one by one, they wanted to get a share, leading to the current situation.
Even though Mu Yinghua was unwilling, she couldn't possibly resist all the core elders on her own. After all, many Supreme Elders were also trying to intervene. Even if she was the Supreme Sect Master, what could she do?
After thinking for a moment, Qin Muling continued to input his divine sense with a last glimmer of hope:
[Qin Muling: Teacher, is this also your opinion?]
[Mu Yinghua: This is not a bad thing for you, so don't be so sentimental, okay?]
[Yu Lingzhou: That's right, which normal man doesn't like being surrounded by beautiful women and embraced from both sides? Why are you hesitating? We're not making fun of you either!]
As a result, Qin Muling in the group fell completely silent.
In the sleeping quarters, Qin Muling got up from the bed, quickly finished packing, and then headed straight to the Supreme Sect Master's Cave Mansion.
Mu Yinghua was currently in her secret hall where she usually cultivated, and Senior Sister Xue Bingxuan had also arrived.
After meeting, Qin Muling directly stated his position: "I want to go into seclusion immediately. After breaking through to the Perfected Being Realm, I will leave the sect and travel for a while. What do you think?"
He understood that Mu Yinghua was also in a difficult position. If she stubbornly refused, she would undoubtedly stand against all the high-level elders, which would not be beneficial for the sect in the long run.
Since he couldn't afford to provoke them, he could only temporarily hide.
In fact, with Qin Muling's nature, he didn't mind having more beautiful Dao companions. The problem was that his current cultivation was not enough. Being suppressed by Senior Sister alone was already enough, but if there were more, it would be difficult for him to accept psychologically.
So it would be better to wait until his cultivation was high enough. At that time, he would have the upper hand.
Xue Bingxuan's eyes brightened. "This method is indeed feasible. However, there are too many eyes watching you outside, so there are safety concerns..."
Mu Yinghua said, "Let him bring more protectors."
There are enough Supreme Elder-level forces that can be mobilized in the sect. It is not a problem to assign a group of people specifically to protect Qin Muling's safety. Moreover, with the characteristics of the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed, it is impossible for anyone outside to deduce Qin Muling's whereabouts.
