Chapter 33
Gaining Knowledge! The Terrifying Tai Qing Sect!
Yun Tianyi rubbed his eyes, almost thinking that he was hallucinating due to his old age. He didn’t know whether to lift his foot or put it down. It could be said that he was in a dilemma.
It was at this moment of distraction that he slipped and almost fell down the steps. Fortunately, Li Yu, who was beside him, saw it quickly and caught him. He asked with concern, “Elder, are you alright?”
Facing Li Yu’s concern, Yun Tianyi forced a smile. “I-I’m fine.”
The steps were inlaid with countless night-luminescent pearls, making the ordinary path look extraordinary. It was as if this was a stairway to heaven.
As far as the eye could see, there were countless night-luminescent pearls along the way. They were like a group of stars shining and falling into the mortal world. They continued to extend into the distance, almost blinding their eyes.
The sun’s rays were reflected on it, and from a distance, it looked like a flowing galaxy and walking on this path felt like a road to immortality.
“This can’t be night-luminescent pearls, right...”
Even if Yun Tianyi wanted to deny it, the light emitted by the night-luminescent pearls was definitely real. It was almost comparable to the radiance of the sun. There was no possibility of it being fake.
Moreover, looking at the quality of these night-luminescent pearls, they were all full and round, which could be considered the best grade. If it were not for Li Yu’s presence, a few of the disciples from the Shang Yun Sect would have dug them out to take a look.
After all, this was someone else’s territory, and they couldn’t do such a rude thing.
“Does the Tai Qing Sect actually use so many night-luminescent pearls to pave the ground?”
The disciples of the Shang Yun Sect couldn’t help but start to speculate if Tai Qing Sect was doing this on purpose. After they stepped on it, if they accidentally broke it, they would look for an opportunity to extort a sum.
Looking at how the people from Shang Yun Sect were being cautious with their steps, Li Yu was used to it and replied, “Yeah.”
This word, which was said in a light tone, brought a huge blow to everyone. Seeing that Li Yu’s expression did not look like he was joking, they felt that they were making a big fuss out of nothing.
It was to the point that everyone had the illusion that this was not some priceless night-luminescent pearls but an ordinary stone on the roadside.
At first, Li Yu and the others were not used to it either. In fact, their reaction was even more exaggerated than the disciples of the Shang Yun Sect at the beginning. However, after walking for a long time, they realized that it was just so-so.
Moreover, Ye Xuan’s work was earth-shattering, so using the night-luminescent pearls to pave the path was nothing.
Li Yu was leading the way in front. He didn’t think too much and asked without turning his head, “Don’t tell me your sect doesn’t have one?”
For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely quiet.
The mood of the Shang Yun Sect disciples was as if a bottle of seasoning had been knocked over. Suddenly, they had complex feelings. Originally, the disciples were all looking down on people with their noses up in the air. They looked down on a small sect like the Tai Qing Sect. At this moment, the arrogance on their faces was restrained.
There was even some respect and fear. Even an ordinary disciple like Li Yu seemed to be somewhat superior in their eyes.
Not to mention the night-luminescent pearls, even the entire sect only had a dozen night-luminescent pearls. How could they be as bold as the Tai Qing Sect?
Li Yu realized that he had said something wrong, but he realized later that not everyone was as abnormal as Ye Xuan, and a faint sense of pride rose in his heart.
He wasn’t a fool. When he first saw Yun Tianyi and the others, he naturally felt their condescending and high-and-mighty attitude. However, this attitude immediately changed after they saw the situation inside Tai Qing Sect.
Everyone who came was a guest. In order to avoid awkwardness, Li Yu quickly changed the topic. “We’ll be reaching our training platform soon.”
The moment he finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly blew over.
“Swish!”
Something fell on the face of a disciple from the Shang Yun Sect. He took it down and saw that it was a Water and Fire Talisman!
Could it be that someone was fighting on the training platform at this moment?
Good heavens, Water and Fire Talismans were used right off the bat. Looks like the battle was pretty intense.
He could use this opportunity to understand the strength of the Tai Qing Sect. Even though he had suffered such a huge blow, Yun Tianyi still had his duty and did not forget his original goal.
“I wonder if we can go and take a look.”
Li Yu gave them a strange look. He knew what the Water and Fire Talisman were used for, but since Shang Yun Sect had made such a request, he couldn’t reject them.
Yun Tianyi felt uncomfortable under his gaze, and his faint mutter could be heard.
“What’s there to see about cleaning?”
Cleaning?
Before he could figure out the meaning of these words, the group of people had already arrived at the training platform.
Upon seeing the scene on the stage, the disciples of the Shang Yun Sect, including Yun Tianyi, were completely dumbfounded. A few disciples dressed in odd job workers’ clothes were sweeping the stage with their brooms and other tools.
The entire sky was filled with Water and Fire Talismans.
However, by casually pouring some spiritual power into the blue part, the talisman paper would fall to the ground, and a large pool of water would appear, which would then be cleaned by the disciple.
Seeing that it was about time, he injected spiritual power into the red part. The temperature of the air instantly rose, and all the water vapor evaporated, revealing a new ground.
What happened to the intense battle?
This was completely different from what they had imagined.
The atmosphere fell into a dead silence again.
In order to ease the awkwardness, Li Yu said, “I’ve embarrassed myself. Today is the day of cleaning. These odd job workers are all busy doing their chores and didn’t notice the arrival of outsiders.”
Yun Tianyi’s mind seemed to have crashed as he expressionlessly replied, “Does Tai Qing Sect use Water and Fire Talismans for cleaning?”
With the odd job workers’ smooth movements, it was obvious that it was not the first time they had been using it.
Li Yu nodded. “It’s quite useful. You can try it out when you have time. Besides, it’s not just used for cleaning–”
Thinking of what had happened at the back of the mountain, Li Yu felt that it would not be cultured to mention it in front of outsiders, so he did not say it out loud.
