The villain is right beside me

If the heads of all the peaks in the sect have reached the stage of building a platform, then the sect’s ancestor must be at the stage of wheel sea!

Although he is only a registered disciple, his starting point is much higher than anyone else. If he is really chosen by the ancestor to be a disciple, it can be said that he has a great backer.

"Junior understands."

The Taoist raised a gust of wind and swept Mu Qing up with it.

"I am the headmaster of Piao Miao Sect. No matter what happens later, you just have to agree to it."

Mu Qing didn't understand what was going on. After an incense stick of time, when he opened his eyes again, the scene he saw made him unforgettable for a long time.

In the infinite distance, among the continuous mountains, there are peaks reaching into the sky everywhere, as straight as arrows. Some peaks are covered with flowers, and many palaces have been built.

Countless thousand-foot waterfalls pour down from the mountain peaks, like countless jade dragons.

The sky is as blue as blue, like blue crystal, there is never a trace of dark clouds, the sun is shining high, the soft and bright sunlight shines down, and it is spotless.

On top of those hundreds of mountains, pine trees were intertwined with roots and branches, and in the deepest part of the mountains, amidst the misty clouds, there was a huge sky city that was vaguely visible, floating like a mirage, making people think they had arrived in the fairyland.

This is Piao Miao Sect!

It's even more beautiful than described in the book.

The Taoist brought Mu Qing to a large hall. Inside the hall were several golden nanmu tables, each with a rosewood Eight Immortals chair in front. Sitting on both sides were four peak masters, all of whom were the presidents of Piaomiao Sect.

"Mu Qing greets all the seniors." Mu Qing greeted them one by one. These people were a hundred times stronger than him, and Lao Wang had not spoken since he came in.

Mu Qing felt very awkward when being stared at by them, as if those eyes were stripping him naked.

At this time, a white light shone on him. The Taoist told him not to be nervous. At this moment, the white light actually showed seven colors!

"What! Seven kinds!"

"I'm not seeing things! There really is such a physique in this world!"

"Oh my God, how could this happen? You have no vision!"

This scene stunned all the masters, it was like a bolt from the blue.

Mu Qing knew his own qualifications, and he also knew that their reactions would certainly be very shocking.

Then, they showed various expressions of disappointment and confusion.

Little did he know that the moment Mu Qing came in, several powerful spirits swept over him and then were retracted.

If Mu Qing had better talent, the ancestors would definitely accept him as a mere registered disciple, but Mu Qing's aptitude truly shocked the ancestors.

The headmaster and others only heard one sentence: "You guys decide for yourself." Then they all fell silent.

Just wait and see. How should we wait and see?

At this moment, no one was looking at Mu Qing anymore and the scene became very cold. If Mu Qing was only selecting a disciple for a branch sect today, they wouldn't have to worry so much.

Mu Qing saw the embarrassment of the few people and was about to say something when the headmaster suddenly slapped his thigh, scaring the other heads.

"Friend Mu..."

"Junior is here."

The headmaster was now thick-skinned and said, "You must have understood the rules I told you. But the quota of registered disciples under the several ancestors is full. How about this? I will make you a condition. You can choose any peak as a disciple, and I will give you a lot of compensation. What do you think?"

Mu Qing absolutely didn't believe this, but he thought about it. He was chosen by the ancestor right after he entered the sect, and he would definitely become the target of public criticism. Moreover, he couldn't hide his talent, and if he continued like this, he would definitely have trouble moving forward in the sect.

Mu Qing suddenly asked, "Excuse me, junior, may I ask how many ancestors there are in the sect?"

"The eight ancestors of my Piao Miao Sect..." The headmaster said, and suddenly he was stunned. The voice transmission just now did not include that person...

"Wait a moment..." The headmaster retreated behind the screen, took out a piece of talisman paper, pinched the magic formula, and said, "Junior Sister Su, please tell the ancestor that there is something important to report."

The headmaster heard a voice coming from the talisman paper: "What's the matter? Are you disturbing my practice?"

"Grandmaster, do you want a disciple?"

"...I don't accept disciples..."

"Ancestor, please listen to me. The thing is, today is the day for the sect to recruit more disciples..."

"...Okay, give him a title."

The headmaster was delighted: "Okay, thank you, old master." Then, the headmaster coughed, sat upright in the hall, and said: "My friend Mu, the old master just sent a message that her ice cellar is unattended. It just so happens that I recommended you, and she agreed to accept you as a registered disciple."

Mu Qing was surprised and wondered why his attitude suddenly changed so quickly. Although he didn't know what was going on, he still agreed: "Okay, thank you, Master! Thank you, Ancestor!"

"Haha, okay, you go down first." The head master sent him away with a few words.

After Mu Qing left the hall, several other masters surrounded him.

"Master, are you kidding? Didn't we all hear it just now?"

"Yes, with such talent... I would hate it even if it was given to me for free to be used as a furnace."

The headmaster said with a smile: "Dear fellow disciples, have you forgotten that we still have an old ancestor who still has no disciples?"

"...Oh! Ah!" Everyone suddenly understood, but still felt incredible.

"Did the ancestor agree?" The beautiful woman found this unbelievable.

"It's just a record of the name. In essence, you are still a disciple of the sect."

"Master...how can you say that? Compensation or something like that."

"Ahem, okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

So Mu Qing sat alone in front of the hall like a wild dog without a care in the world.

"Damn! I got fooled!" Mu Qing suddenly realized that if he chose the conditions the headmaster said, he could get a good compensation, and he was also a disciple of Piao Miao Sect. But if he became the ancestor's registered disciple, although he had a backer, he would not care about him at all, and there would be no real benefits. More importantly... if the ancestor saw what good things he got, he would find a reason to respect his teacher and take it away.

"Ah, I think Mu Qing is also very talented, but now no one wants me."

Lao Wang almost vomited after hearing this.

"It's you, the chosen registered disciple." At some point, a woman in a snow fox fur skirt came in front of him. She looked ordinary, but one could tell she was of extraordinary status by looking at her elegant and graceful attire.

"Yes, I am Mu Qing."

"Let's go." The woman said coldly, "You can go and register as a low-level outer sect disciple first, and then I will hand over all the work related to storing the ice cellar to you."

Seeing the woman's cold attitude, Mu Qing felt a little unhappy, but there was nothing he could do, as he knew clearly that he couldn't beat her.

"Low-level disciples do not have the right to choose any peak, so you should live near the ice cellar. There are all kinds of immortal wine collected by our master in here, so don't try to drink it secretly." The woman thought, he couldn't drink it anyway.

The woman brought Mu Qing to an attic with bluestone roads, courtyards, and the fragrance of flowers and plants.

"Is Junior Brother Lin here?"

A man poked his head out from under the table. He was a dwarf about 1.3 meters tall. He asked in surprise, "Why is Master Su here?"

She pointed at Mu Qing and said, "There is an outer disciple. Please help register him."

"Ah, you won't accept any disciples!" The dwarf looked at Mu Qing in surprise. The woman didn't reply, but the dwarf didn't neglect Mu Qing at all.

Following the dwarf's instructions, Mu Qing registered his name on the sign, and then the dwarf gave him a blue robe for an outer disciple, a set of mantras, an identity card, a black iron sword and a low-level storage bag.

"Junior brother, this spell can only be given to new disciples for the first three levels. The next three levels require you to reach the realm requirements before you can redeem them."

Mu Qing took out the mantra and looked at it. It was called "Qingxiao Sword Controlling Technique", which was learned by many low-level disciples.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Mu Qing finally joined the Immortal Sect as he wished, and he felt relieved. Then the woman took him to the foot of a mountain. There was an ice cave at the foot of the mountain, and he could feel a chill just by standing outside.

The woman gave him some notes on how to take care of the ice cellar, and told him that the cave was on the mountainside, and that Mu Qing should take care of the rest by himself. Then she left.

"He doesn't look that good, and his personality is even worse." Mu Qing could only say in his heart that strength is what matters after all.

"Okay, the cold air here is strong, which can help you quickly open up the Taiyin and Shaoyang meridians of the foot." Lao Wang said.

Mu Qing came to his own little house, which was a bit big for one person. There was a stream in front of the door and a few pine trees, making it quite secluded and quiet.

Mu Qing looked through the formula of the martial arts technique. The name of this "Qingxiao Yujian Jue" sounds nice, but the first three levels can only help people open three meridians. However, according to the description, in the later stage of the martial arts technique, one can also condense a magical power.

"This formula is not as good as the one I taught you." Lao Wang also took a look and said.

"By the way, what's the name of the martial arts you taught me?" Mu Qing asked.

"My method first nourishes the five internal organs, then cultivates the qi and blood. It is called the Five Saints Great Heavenly Divine Art! By cultivating the five internal organs and nourishing the body, you can achieve the Five Saints' True Body!"

Practice both physical and mental skills.

Mu Qing suddenly realized, no wonder, other people's martial arts methods were to absorb external forces, while he wanted to cultivate internal strength.

"You can practice this sword technique. It will give you another magical power and a way to save your life." Mu Qing looked at other things again. There were several strange patterns embroidered on the blue robes of outer disciples. It felt very cool when he put it on. The texture of the clothes was soft, just like touching delicate skin.

"No wonder everyone wants to cultivate immortality, there are so many benefits." Mu Qing counted his belongings and couldn't help but sigh. He only had a mid-grade treasure in his hand, which was a black iron sword he had just received, but the sword was also engraved with strange and tiny patterns.

Lao Wang chuckled and said, "Mu Qing, do you know how I can see through those illusions?"

"If you have something to say, just say it now!" Mu Qing doesn't like beating around the bush, just say whatever you want to say.

"Look at this sword and this clothing. Do the patterns on them look familiar?"

Mu Qing flicked the sword lightly, causing a clear sound of sword chime. The patterns on the sword had appeared everywhere since he entered Piao Miao Sect. “What do these mean?”

"It's like a tree that has grown many growth rings over the years; it's like everyone's fingers, their fingerprints are also different. In the world of immortal cultivation, we call these traces that explain the ultimate principles of heaven and earth spiritual patterns. Look at the ground under your feet, the entire mountain is covered with formations carved with spiritual patterns. Spiritual patterns are the foundation of the great way. Whether it's talismans, formations, elixirs, or treasures, they will all be composed of spiritual patterns."

"Spiritual patterns...what's the use of learning them?" Mu Qing asked.

"You idiot, didn't I tell you that every part of the world contains spiritual patterns, even the spells you learned." Lao Wang said, "I don't know how spells were researched, but every spell contains a kind of seal, which is composed of the most basic spiritual patterns. For example, when you draw talismans, you will draw some small spells. The first thing to master is the seal. If you can comprehend the seal of a spell, you have basically learned a spell to perfection."

"Now, you understand."

Why does this sentence seem familiar?
