My Cultivation Starting from Archery

Slowly, Lord Taishan was almost crying as he pleaded.

"Please, have mercy, spare me..."

In the end, he completely gave up resisting and lay beside the boots of the Lord of Myriad Laws like a dead dog, allowing himself to be trampled.

It was a long time before the soul search concluded.

"Brother Mu, forgive me."

Cao Xie tossed an elixir pill, with no real sense of apology: "If you remember anything, please let me know promptly, so you won't have to endure such torment day and night."

Lord Taishan lay sprawled on the muddy ground, his muddled and empty eyes staring blankly at the rusted sword embedded in the earth, silent.

Cao Xie looked down at him with a hint of sorrow in his eyes.

At this moment, the Supreme Elder of the Qingxu Sect spoke again: "Elder Cao, since matters here are resolved, why not come to my estate for a chat?"

Cao Xie said indifferently: "I had just such an intention."

The two nascent soul cultivators disappeared without a trace.

The courtyard became quiet.

"Senior Mu?"

Despite everything, he had learned skills from him, and even if there was no deep bond, there was some ordinary kinship.

Chen Sansi no longer just watched; he stepped forward to help him up, offering an elixir that restored the divine soul: "Are you alright?"

Based on the earlier conversation, he understood that Lord Taishan seemed to be hiding something, which was why he had suffered such torment.

"I'm fine..."

Pale-faced, Lord Taishan leaned against the old locust tree, looking towards the spot where Cao Xie had disappeared, and weakly cursed: "That bastard, I should have killed him with a sword back then..."

Halfway through his words, he impatiently shouted, "Get lost, get lost, what are you all still doing here, get out!"

"..."

Chen Sansi got up to take his leave.

As he passed by the young Taoist, he gently patted his shoulder: "Sixteen, what's wrong?"

Just now, after the arrival of the Supreme Elder, the young Taoist stood still like a wooden figure, unclear whether he was frightened or affected by a spell.

"I'm, I'm fine."

The young Taoist shook his head: "I have unfinished work; I have to go first."

Master Yu Ling and Chen Sansi also left the courtyard one after another.

"Just now..."

Master Yu Ling looked at the disciple of her deceased husband, suddenly asking: "Were you standing up for your master's wife? Aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid? You mean because I stood up to Cao Xie?"

Chen Sansi replied without hesitation: "What's the use of being afraid?"

In the situation earlier, would being afraid make the opponent spare me?

Instead of waiting to die in fear, it's better to fight bravely. Dying standing is better than dying kneeling.

And at the time...

Chen Sansi didn't think much about it.

He only knew that someone had gone against his master's widow, and as the heir, he shouldn't hide behind her like a coward.

Sometimes one must act with careful consideration, but other things leave no time for such concerns.

Having witnessed today.

It was like having faced Cao Xie.

Nascent Soul!

The gap in realm was indeed considerable.

But Chen Sansi truly wasn't afraid, after all, the other party was only born a few hundred years earlier. However, within him rose an urgent feeling as if an invisible hand was urging him to cultivate and enhance his power.

'I wonder if that Cao truly didn't see through me.'

Master Yu Ling seemed to have read his mind, saying: "The mask you wear was given to you by the Supreme Elder, he cannot easily see through it, but whether he will become suspicious in the future is hard to say."

"The Supreme Elder?"

Combining the previous situation, Chen Sansi speculated.

The Supreme Elder of the Qingxu Sect clearly knew his true identity and had been deliberately protecting him.

"There's no need to overthink it, my junior disciple also wants to make a deal with you, he simply wants to use your Emperor's Breath Soil."

Master Yu Ling said: "Among the spirit plants I asked you to plant earlier, there was one that he wanted."

Chen Sansi nodded, feeling somewhat at ease.

Otherwise, taking the huge risk to shelter him couldn't possibly be based solely on the face of his master's wife.

"In a few more years, you'll be preparing for Core Formation, won't you?"

Master Yu Ling raised her slender hand, a pink lotus petal and a golden spirit flower resembling a wind chime appeared in her palm.

She calmly said, "This pink lotus is called the Mysterious Transformation Blessing Lotus, which can help you resist the minor Heavenly Tribulation.

"This golden one is the 'Moonlight Golden Bell Flower' of over eight hundred years, though it lacks years, you can mature it yourself.

"I remember you mentioned before that among the Core Formation spiritual objects, you already have the Fire Ganoderma.

"So now, you only lack the 'Creation Jade Dew.'

"There is Creation Jade Dew in the sect, but it's recently been allocated, so you're not qualified to receive it.

"Fortunately, Creation Jade Dew can be replaced with a Demon Core or a Beast Pill.

"For these two years, you should stay calmly in the valley. I will find an opportunity to help you kill a Third Realm Demon Beast."

She thoroughly arranged everything that needed to be done next.

It was basically saying that all you need to do is sit still, and you will smoothly achieve the Golden Core Realm.

Since Chen Sansi started his cultivation journey, only his master had taken such care of him before.

"Disciple thanks Master!"

He accepted the items and then said, "But Master, there's no need to trouble you regarding the Demon Core.

"Disciple heard that recently, each peak in the sect is to send two Foundation Establishment cultivators to Dragon Elephant City, where the rewards include Creation Jade Dew."

"I recall that the bounty in Dragon Elephant City indeed includes this item."

Master Yu Ling said, "But after all, it's the border, and with recent turmoil, no one can predict what might happen. Are you sure you want to go yourself?"

"I'm sure."

Chen Sansi said firmly, "In Master's eyes, I'm still a junior, but in the mortal world, I'm already a middle-aged man past forty.

"At this age, if I rely on others for everything, then there's no point in cultivating to become an immortal."

If Master could acquire the Creation Jade Dew, he would gratefully accept it, as no one wants to risk the dangers of the border.

But as for Master saying she would help hunt a Demon Beast, it's better to forget it.

Master Yu Ling herself is only at the Golden Core Realm, and hunting a Demon Beast of the same realm undoubtedly risks her life.

If something were to happen while helping him obtain a Demon Core, Chen Sansi would be too ashamed that a Heart Demon might arise.

"Alright."

Master Yu Ling did not insist: "It's also good for you to go. Your senior sister is inconvenient for long journeys recently, with you accompanying your second junior sister, I can be more at ease."

"Rest assured, Master."

Chen Sansi said, "Then I'll go back to prepare, and immediately set off as soon as the sect summons."

Finished speaking.

He took his leave.

There was still much preparation to do before heading to Dragon Elephant City.

"Master."

After the White Robe left, a fairy approached elegantly, coughing lightly from weakness: "Didn't we agree that I would accompany junior sister?"

"Since your junior brother decided to go, let him. You're still injured, so it's actually safer if he goes instead of you."

Master Yu Ling watched Chen Sansi's departing figure, recalling how he unhesitatingly drew his sword to stand in front of her, murmured: "This child is reliable, no wonder the one surnamed Sun passed his mantle to him."

...

On Taiyuan Peak.

Cao Xie left the cave mansion of the Supreme Elder of Qingxu Sect and transformed into a light of escape flying through the sky.

After about two hundred miles, he stopped at a mountaintop.

Here awaited a man and a woman, both Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Junior brother is back."

The leading male cultivator spoke, "How's Zhang Huaiqing's situation?"

"Faster than expected."

Cao Xie slowly landed, "He directly broke through the mid-stage Nascent Soul."

"What?!"

The male cultivator said in astonishment, "Directly to mid-stage Nascent Soul?!"

The female cultivator, on the other hand, was more calm: "It was long heard that Zhang Huaiqing fused part of the Heavenly Clouds of Celebration into his body at birth, destined to prosper Qingxu Sect's Daoist Inheritance as an immortal seedling.

"That's why their former Supreme Elder insisted on letting him succeed, despite opposition.

"Now it seems, the rumor is true."
