Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

236: The new saint of your sect is my wifeThe captain thought for a moment after hearing this, ”I don’t recognize him.”

Just as he finished speaking, a figure appeared behind him—it was the True God General Captain who had been leaning against the mountain gate’s stone pillar earlier.

”What’s the situation?” he asked.

Originally, he hadn’t intended to come over, but when he released his Divine Thought for a routine sweep earlier, he found that he actually couldn’t see through this person.

However, judging by his life aura, he seemed to be of the younger generation, perhaps a second-generation Disciple from some Sect here for an exchange or study.

The Lingxuan Holy Land welcomed such people.

After all, if the Lingxuan Holy Land wanted to maintain its neutral status, it had to keep good relations with various Sects.

”General Captain, this person is named Qin Jiang, and he’s here to visit our Lingxuan,” the captain said.

”Qin Jiang?” The general captain pondered for a moment but didn’t recognize the name.

”Fellow Daoist Qin Jiang, do you have anything to prove your identity? It would be easier for me to report your status when I announce your arrival,” he asked.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jiang took out a token from a spatial rift; it was the Honorary Elder Token he had previously received from the Chang Sheng Sword Sect.

Seeing the token, the general captain nodded slightly. So he was a descendant of an Elder from the Chang Sheng Sword Sect; being so young, his talent must be extraordinary.

”Just say that Elder Qin of the Chang Sheng Sword Sect is visiting,” Qin Jiang said.

The general captain was stunned. His gaze moved from the token to Qin Jiang’s face. ”Elder Qin?”

Such a young Elder?

The Chang Sheng Sword Sect was a top-tier immortal Sect just below the level of a Holy Land. To become an Elder of the Sword Sect, one had to have at least a True Immortal Realm cultivation, and even the initial realm might not be enough to qualify.

Could it be that the person before him was actually a True Immortal?!

*Hiss—*

”I didn’t realize a Sword Sect Elder was present, please forgive me. Please wait a moment, I will go and invite the Reception Elder right away.”

Having said that, he cupped his hands slightly and immediately turned into a streak of light and departed.

The squad leader on the side scratched his eyebrow. ”Senior, please move to the pavilion to rest for a moment. If you were visiting as a Disciple, I would naturally let you through directly, but since you are an esteemed Elder, our Ling Xuan Sect cannot neglect proper etiquette.”

He gestured toward a pavilion by the mountain gate. In fact, he had encountered low-profile True Immortals visiting a few times before, so he was somewhat used to it.

Inside the mountain gate, a golden streak of light flew over several peaks and arrived at the top of a small hill where a single wooden hut stood, with several wild chickens wandering freely in the yard.

However, although they were called wild chickens, any ordinary Martial Artist would have their jaw drop upon seeing them. How the hell were these wild chickens?

These were clearly Demon Kings!

”Elder Nie! Elder Nie!” the general captain shouted as he landed in the yard.

*Creak—*

The wooden door pushed open, and an old man in white walked out. He had a kind face, squinted eyes, and his hair and beard were completely white.

”Xiao Lin, what’s the rush?”

”Elder Nie, an Elder from the Chang Sheng Sword Sect has come to visit at the mountain gate. Please go and receive him,” the general captain said.

”Chang Sheng Sword Sect?” The white-clothed old man’s squinted eyes opened, filled with a hint of confusion.

Why had someone from the Chang Sheng Sword Sect come?

He had heard from the Sect Master before that the Chang Sheng Sword Sect had produced an extraordinary Elder Qin, who was said to possess the power of an Immortal Lord.

In a tribulation set by the Chang Sheng Sword Sect, even the Emperor Ancestor Dynasty had personally sent an Imperial Preceptor to attend, and only then was it overcome.

There were even rumors that the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign himself had sent a Clone to speak with him.

Because of this, the Sect Master speculated that while Elder Qin’s Realm might not have reached that of an Immortal Lord, he already possessed combat power at the Immortal Lord level, making him a peerless Prodigy far above the Dao Seed level.

”Yes, it’s an Elder named Qin Jiang,” the general captain said.

Elder Nie’s gaze shifted to the general captain. ”You said that Elder’s surname is Qin?”

”Yes.”

*Hiss—!*

Elder Qin? Immortal Lord Qin! Immortal Lord Qin has come?!

Without the slightest hesitation, he directly transformed into a streak of light and departed, leaving only a voice echoing in the general captain’s ears.

”Come to the Lingxuan Hall! I’m going to invite the Sect Master!”

In the Lingxuan Hall, a middle-aged man sat upon the high throne, flipping through a book titled ”Records of Anomalies of the Nineteen Dynasties.”

Suddenly, he looked up toward the outside of the hall.

*Tap, tap, tap!*

Hurried footsteps sounded as Elder Nie walked in quickly. ”Sect Master! Sect Master! Something bad—no, wait! Good news! Great news!”

”Elder Nie, why are you in such a panic? Come and taste the newly picked Rock Tea,” Holy Master Lingxuan said with a smile. With a wave of his hand, a cup of fragrant tea appeared beside the seat below.

Elder Nie calmed himself and sat down. ”Sect Master, it’s Elder Qin—Immortal Lord Qin. That Immortal Lord Qin from the Chang Sheng Sword Sect has arrived; he is at the mountain gate right now.”

Having said that, he picked up the teacup. Just as he brought it to his lips and before he could taste it, he felt a sudden gust of wind blow against his face.

Holy Master Lingxuan appeared before him in an instant, grabbed him by the collar with one hand, and flew out of the hall.

”Hey! The tea, tea, tea! I haven’t drunk it yet!”

”Drink tea? Drink your head! How dare you let Immortal Lord Qin wait at the mountain gate!”

”Wait a moment, we haven’t picked up Xiao Lin yet!”

Outside the Lingxuan Hall, the general captain, who had just arrived, hadn’t even had time to glance at the hall before he saw an azure light strike, and then his body felt weightless.

By the time he regained his senses, he was back outside the mountain gate.

”Haha! I didn’t know Immortal Lord Qin was visiting. Please forgive my lack of hospitality!”

Holy Master Lingxuan strode forward and cupped his hands in greeting toward Qin Jiang.

Qin Jiang stepped forward to help Holy Master Lingxuan up. ”The Holy Master is too polite. It was I who was abrupt this time, not having informed you in advance.”

”Immortal Lord Qin is too kind. Please, come in, come in! I have already prepared tea in the Holy Temple—it’s Rock Tea I picked myself!”

The two walked into the mountain gate, with Elder Nie and the general captain following behind.

Seeing the general captain still following, Elder Nie leaned in and whispered, ”Xiao Lin, go handle this. Don’t let the news of Immortal Lord Qin’s arrival cause too much of a stir in the city.

Then have the president of the Lingxuan Newspaper quickly release a message stating that Immortal Lord Qin of the Chang Sheng Sword Sect visited the Lingxuan Holy Land today, and Holy Master Lingxuan personally welcomed him for a pleasant conversation. Go now!”

”Ah! Understood! I’ll get right on it!”

The general captain agreed somewhat dazed. Although he hadn’t yet figured out which Immortal Lord this Immortal Lord Qin was—he clearly remembered that none of the seven Immortal Lords had the surname Qin.

But despite his confusion, he immediately went to carry it out.

Inside the Lingxuan Holy Land, Qin Jiang and Holy Master Lingxuan walked along the main road leading directly to the Lingxuan Hall. Along the way, Holy Land Disciples would occasionally observe them quietly.

There weren’t many rules within the Lingxuan Holy Land, and there were no insurmountable status barriers between Disciples and Elders, so these Disciples were quite enthusiastic.

However, because they didn’t know his identity and didn’t want outsiders to think the Lingxuan Holy Land lacked discipline, none of them stepped forward.

Reaching a certain corner, a massive valley came into view. In the center of the valley stood a giant Black Tortoise Statue.

With the body of a tortoise and the tail of a snake, it carried a heavy, ancient aura and a strange sense of profound mystery.

”Hehe, Immortal Lord Qin, this is the Foundation upon which our Lingxuan Holy Land was established. It is said that this Black Tortoise Statue was carved by an Immortal King from ancient times in his own true form.

Tradition within the Holy Land says that this Black Tortoise Statue contains the great secret of an Immortal King, but since ancient times, countless Immortal Lords have attempted to comprehend it here, yet none have gained anything,” Holy Master Lingxuan said.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly. ”If there is an opportunity, please allow me to attempt to comprehend it.”

”Haha! Naturally. But there’s no rush. Please enter the hall first, sit down, and see how my Rock Tea tastes,” Holy Master Lingxuan laughed.

The two continued forward and soon arrived at the Lingxuan Hall.

”Please, Immortal Lord!”

After taking a seat, Qin Jiang picked up the teacup and took a sip. A refreshing fragrance seemed to seep into his true spirit, washing away some Impurities.

He was slightly surprised. ”This tea can actually cleanse my true spirit?”

”Hehe, the tea leaves themselves are not rare, but the water used to brew the tea is extraordinary. It is Black Tortoise Holy Water taken from the back of that Black Tortoise Statue.

This Black Tortoise Holy Water only produces one drop per year. This single cup of tea represents no less than a hundred years of effort,” Holy Master Lingxuan chuckled.

”So that’s how it is. That statue is truly miraculous,” Qin Jiang remarked with emotion.

After a moment, having finished the tea, Holy Master Lingxuan set down his teacup. ”Immortal Lord, I wonder what brings you to Lingxuan?”

Qin Jiang also set down his teacup and smiled. ”I come from beyond the Chaos Sea. Your Sect’s new Saintess, Xu Yanran, is my wife.”
