Chapter 141 Guiyuan Sect 16
The gossip was delicious, but we couldn't forget about the important stuff! Li Weixin on the other end understood this, and after sharing the gossip, she considerately hung up the call.
He also stated that he would attend the Grand Ceremony of Immortal Qingxu with his master.
Seeing that there was nothing else to distract her, Cheng Jiu could only resign herself to picking up He Wen's book and studying it carefully.
The book of congratulatory writings in her hand contains ten articles.
Cheng Jiu originally thought that it would be very difficult for a modern person to read these ancient books and write an article about them.
But when Cheng Jiu saw the result, he found it surprisingly easy to read, even though it was written in dry and boring ancient characters.
There was none of the awkwardness she had imagined. It was then that she suddenly realized something: she had become an immortal cultivator! Which of those cultivation manuals wasn't more difficult to understand than this He Wen?
It was as if her mind had been struck by a sledgehammer, and she suddenly became fully awake. She was now a person of this world, and without realizing it, she had been assimilated into this world. As she grew older, her memories of her past life would gradually become more and more blurred.
As she gets older, she may gradually forget her memories of her past life.
Until she was completely forgotten that she was actually a time traveler.
Thinking of this, Cheng Jiu smiled bitterly. She didn't know if this was good or bad, but her gaze slowly hardened.
Perhaps her past life will gradually become blurred, and perhaps she will slowly forget her origins, but she believes in the bond of souls.
Sooner or later, when she becomes powerful enough, she will be able to travel between different worlds just like Cang Jiyue and her husband.
And on that day, she will return to where her soul came from.
Not long after, Cheng Jiu regained her spirits and, having gained some basic knowledge, she found He Wen's articles fascinating.
This is a veiled complaint to my father-in-law, subtly accusing his daughter of being too fierce and hoping that he can discipline her.
This piece, written for the emperor, was such an eye-opening exaggeration that even Cheng Jiu had to admit it was utterly shameless. It described him as a wise and sagacious emperor, unmatched by anyone in the world.
This piece, written to his teacher, is quite touching. It describes the teacher's earnest guidance to him in his childhood and expresses the sentiment that "a teacher for a day is a father for life." He also wishes his teacher good health and a long and healthy life.
The other person's writing was clearly excellent, and even Cheng Jiu, who wasn't particularly sentimental, couldn't help but have tears welling up in her eyes as she read.
Wiping away her tears, Cheng Jiu felt she had found someone to emulate.
When writing, Cheng Jiu hesitated a bit, wondering whether to make the article more sentimental or more festive, like a congratulatory piece.
In the end, Cheng Jiu chose the latter.
Before I started writing, I felt it would be incredibly difficult. But as soon as I put pen to paper, I felt my emotions surge and I felt as if I had divine assistance. Words flew onto the paper in one go.
Looking at the congratulatory message he had written, Cheng Jiu slumped in his chair, as if the message had drained his energy.
After carefully examining the document, Cheng Jiu put it away with satisfaction and placed it in the disciple's gift box.
She had already chosen the items: three rare and precious materials, an Ice-Containing Spirit Jade, a Bamboo Heart Fruit, and the Iron Mother she had obtained earlier.
For the other three items and four arts, Cheng Jiu chose a Grade 7 Jade Ice Profound Pill, a Grade 7 Spirit Gathering Talisman, and a Grade 7 Nether Profound Array.
With the addition of congratulatory writings, a brush, and ink, the disciple ceremony was officially prepared. Cheng Jiu looked at what he had prepared and felt extremely satisfied.
Next, we will prepare for the Mahayana ceremony!
Upon opening the door, the door to the adjacent room remained tightly shut, clearly indicating that the two had not yet completed their conferment of the text and were still in seclusion.
Cheng Jiu didn't disturb the two of them. Instead, he went outside to plant crops and check on the growth of the medicinal herbs.
Days passed by like flowing water, one after another.
A week before the Mahayana ceremony, the door finally opened, and the two came out of the room. Unlike Gong Yu's listless appearance, Gong Cheng's spirits were obviously much better.
Although the two were in completely different states, He Wen completed both tasks.
Gong Yu sat in the pavilion and poured himself a glass of sweet water: "I'm exhausted, more tired than fighting with others! Junior Sister Jiu, when did you come out of seclusion?"
Cheng Jiu gestured: "Not long, just a little earlier than you guys!"
The three of them were still a little embarrassed and didn't ask each other about the content of the congratulatory letter.
Instead, they drank sweet water and chatted casually.
Outside the house, the medicinal herbs stretched out freely, and a faint fragrance of herbs wafted through the courtyard.
The three of them discussed philosophy while enjoying the fragrance of herbs, and for a moment they felt an indescribable sense of comfort.
Amidst the beautiful scenery, at that moment, the palace maid pulled out a chessboard from somewhere and placed it on the table in the pavilion.
Coupled with the beautiful spring scenery, there is an indescribable sense of comfort.
Cheng Jiu doesn't know how to play chess, only Gomoku. The atmosphere was just right, so he unconsciously picked up a piece and pretended to be elegant as he played a game with Miyagi.
Gongcheng had never played against Cheng Jiu before, and this move was simply astonishing; his opponent was a complete idiot.
At first, Gongcheng didn't want to dampen Cheng Jiu's enthusiasm for playing chess, so he kept giving way, but Cheng Jiu still won.
Cheng Jiu didn't feel anything was wrong at all. On the contrary, he felt quite good about himself and thought that what happened just now was an accident. He subconsciously grabbed Gong Cheng and prepared to start another game.
As expected, he lost again. Cheng Jiu still didn't realize how bad he was, only thinking that he was careless and that he would be able to turn the tide sooner or later.
Despite repeated defeats, she fought on relentlessly, while Gongcheng, who stood opposite her, seemed to have been cleansed, his entire being exuding an ethereal aura.
Numbed by countless chess games, he preferred playing with his younger brother to playing with Cheng Jiu.
Seeing Cheng Jiu start another game again, Gong Cheng's eyes were filled with fear.
"Junior Sister Cheng Jiu, Gong Cheng, Junior Brother Gong Yu, thankfully you are all here!" A voice filled with relief came from the sky.
Qin Che saw the three of them let out a long sigh of relief. Suddenly, the crane they were riding began to shake violently. Qin Che took the opportunity to leap down from the sky, avoiding the tragedy that had occurred before.
Seeing Qin Che dismount, the crane didn't dare linger and flew away swiftly.
Deep in the woods, a plump white cloud emerged, watching the crane fly away, its back seemingly fleeing. DouDou's eyes were filled with grievance.
The little cloud beast didn't realize it at first, but how could it not know that the crane was afraid of it the second time? Was it really that scary?
Damn it, someone must have ruined its reputation. It must visit those old buddies later. They've made it look like a bully, even though it's so well-behaved.
The little cloud beast puffed up its chubby cheeks, then snuggled into Cheng Jiu's arms with a pitiful expression.
Cheng Jiu held the little cloud beast, stroking its soft body. After a moment's thought, he knew what had happened and couldn't help but gently comfort it.
"Don't be sad. It's just that those cranes aren't familiar with you. I'll take you to the rental office to see your old friends! Spend more time with them, and they won't be afraid of you anymore."
Upon hearing this, the little cloud beast nestled in her arms and nodded vigorously, "Xiao Jiu is the best!"
Cheng Jiu was frantically trying to comfort the little cloud beast, while Gong Cheng looked at the newcomer curiously: "Senior Brother Qin, what brings you here? Where is Senior Brother Huo?"
"Your senior brother Huo is currently at the sect's main peak. Isn't there a Mahayana ceremony to be held in a couple of days? There are some things that need to be handled by you disciples. Master asked me to come and invite you." Qin Che was told the purpose of his visit by the three.
The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment. They had assumed that, like their master, they would simply go to the banquet venue that day, with the banquet being organized and hosted by the sect.
"In that case, let's go, Senior Brother!" Cheng Jiu patted the little cloud beast in his arms.
Cheng Jiu had no objection to the sect's arrangements. Seeing this, Gong Cheng quickly put away the chessboard on the table, feeling a sense of relief.
The four of them rode on the little cloud beast and headed towards the sect leader's peak.
The place we arrived at was not actually the main peak, but the island where the event was being held.
From afar, Penglai Immortal Island appears to float above the sect, with Yin and Yang energies intertwined within it.
From a distance, the three of them thought it was a small island, not very large in area.
As the little cloud beast drew closer, the small island grew larger and larger in front of them, until it was completely close.
The three of them could not see the edge of the island at all.
Passing through the hazy mist, the view suddenly opened up before me.
The building here is a palace with the grandeur of the Guiyuan Sect, with white jade roofs and gold tripods. There are two tables made of an unknown type of wood on the eaves of the house, none of the three of them have ever seen such a wood before.
But as they got a little closer, a peculiar, extremely faint fragrance lingered around their noses, giving them a refreshing and invigorating feeling.
The fact that it has such an effect just from smelling it shows how rare the materials used to make this table are.
In addition to the workbench, there are workbenches made of different types of wood below, separating the two sides and leaving an empty space in the middle.
The tables were divided into three main areas, with the quality of the wood used to make the tables decreasing by one grade in each area, creating an extremely orderly arrangement in the spacious hall.
Qin Che pulled out a stack of jade plaques with names written on them from somewhere.
"Senior Brother Qin, what's this for?" The three looked curiously at the jade pendant in his arms.
"These are all powerful beings invited to the Mahayana ceremony." Qin Che distributed the jade tokens to the three people: "You three are disciples of the two Immortal Lords. When guests arrive, you three will be responsible for receiving them. Those below the Tribulation Transcending Venerable Lord level will only be received by the sect's disciples, while the Tribulation Transcending Venerable Lord and the Mahayana Immortal Lord will be received by you."
The seating arrangement varies according to status and rank; if the order is disrupted, it might displease these powerful figures.
Therefore, the master wants you to familiarize yourselves with the seating arrangement and the etiquette of Mahayana ceremonies these next few days, so as to avoid any impropriety during the ceremony.
Cheng Jiu carefully examined the name on the jade pendant and discovered that it was no ordinary jade pendant.
In addition to the name above, you can also see the appearance and basic information of the corresponding immortal lord by entering spiritual power.
At this time, Qin Che had already shown the three of them which immortal lord each seat corresponded to.
In addition, it is also important to know which powerful figures have a bad relationship with which other powerful figures, and to try to avoid two powerful figures getting too close.
Another factor is the ranking based on the sect. Although they are all adults, there are differences in status.
And there are taboos among powerful beings, etc. This is a huge undertaking.
Besides the immortal lords whose seats correspond to them, there are also the two immortal lords' friends, whose three disciples will be responsible for greeting them.
In addition to memorizing the powerful beings associated with each altar, the three also had to remember their master's friends so they could greet them promptly when the time came.
In addition to familiarizing himself with the process, Qin Che demonstrated the reliability of a sect leader's disciple.
He taught the three of them step by step without showing any impatience.
As a Mahayana ceremony that all cultivators yearn for, the process is quite complicated.
The three of them were completely bewildered by what they were learning. Although cultivators have good memories, they still felt a bit dizzy from all the information.
This is a Mahayana ceremony, which not only represents the reputation of the three masters, but also the reputation of the Guiyuan Sect. Every step must be flawless.
Therefore, almost every aspect of the Mahayana ceremony needs to be rehearsed a few days in advance to ensure that the ceremony will not go wrong and embarrass other sects.
The three of them followed the steps and took the opportunity to insert themselves into other people's rehearsals to practice.
In addition, the three of them also need to remember the immortal lords corresponding to those jade tablets. Although Qin Che has already led them through it once, they still need to practice several more times in order to avoid making mistakes.
The atmosphere in the entire venue was extremely tense. Besides Qin Che, the three of them also saw Nan Xingze, who was in charge of the overall situation. He seemed to be very busy, only showing his face briefly to instruct Qin Che to teach the three of them well, and then leaving without lingering for a moment.
Although it was just a rehearsal, it was quite tedious, and Cheng Jiu and the other two spent the whole day there.
Although the protagonist is the master of the three, the three are each other's disciples and their importance is no less.
After leaving the venue, even Nascent Soul stage cultivators inevitably felt tired. Upon returning to Canglan Peak, they did not linger and went back to Cheng Jiu's courtyard to rest separately.
The next day, Qin Che came to pick them up as usual. After all, it was the last day, and Cheng Jiu and the other two couldn't be absent.
Upon arriving at the venue, it was as if the world had changed overnight. What was once bare was now adorned with exquisite ornaments, each one precious and reflecting the user's prestige.
Senior students came and went among the group, and unlike yesterday, today's rehearsal focused on stability, so we only rehearsed once.
Even so, the three of them were somewhat dispirited.
Qin Che saw this and said, "Let's go, I'll show you some good stuff!"
Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately perked up and eagerly followed Qin Che's steps.
The place was quite remote, and the three of them followed Qin Che, turning left and right on the sect's main peak.
"Junior brother, what are you doing here?" A clear female voice rang out from behind the four of them.
Cheng Jiu and the other two were startled and froze. Qin Che, like a mouse whose tail had been stepped on, was startled and turned around, forcing a fawning smile: "Who is it? It's the beautiful and generous Second Senior Sister! None of the three junior brothers and sisters have ever visited the Sect Master Peak. Since you have some free time, I'll take them for a tour of the Sect Master Peak!"
"Really?" Chang Yue asked, her tone tinged with suspicion.
"Of course!" Qin Che said decisively.
Chang Yue looked at Qin Che, scrutinizing him carefully. Qin Che stiffened, but remained defiant, and slowly spoke under the uneasy gaze of the other woman: "Fine, I believe you. Just don't let me find out you've done anything outrageous, or I'll see how I deal with you!"
