CHAPTER IX

The next morning, the first rays of sunlight shone on Ah Sheng's face through the hollowing out of the window.

It's been a long time since Ah Sheng has slept soundly like he did today. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, stretched, and sat up slowly, only to find himself alone in the room.

"You don't want to sleep for a while?" the sword soul's voice suddenly appeared.

Ah Sheng looked confused and asked, "Why?"

"Because this will be the last time you'll sleep in your life—" Sword Soul said lightly.

Ah Sheng was at a loss for a moment, and the sword soul continued: "How can any immortal cultivator still sleep until he wakes up naturally? Those senior brothers and sisters of yours have been cultivating for a long time. You sleep a little longer, and their morning workout is over. ”

"I'm sorry, I know it's wrong-" Ah Sheng hurriedly apologized, and immediately sat up, his heart turned to the sky, intending to use the method taught by the sword soul to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth.

"Go outside—" Sword Soul said.

"Huh?"

"Ahh

Ah Sheng didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly got dressed, trotted away, and arrived outside the courtyard.

Suddenly, Ah Sheng was stunned by the scene in front of him.

What greeted the eye was a thick sea of clouds, and the rising sun pierced through the clouds, and the rays of sunlight shone through the dense mountain forest.

In the clouds, you can faintly see a figure, the vitality fluctuates violently, from time to time to set off bursts of clouds, sometimes into a roaring tiger, sometimes like a charging war horse, sometimes into a war knife, as if to cut the heaven and earth in two.

"The Yunxiao Mountain Range is the treasure land of Lingshan Mountain, and these clouds are all formed by the condensation of vitality, especially when the sun rises, the vitality is discharged, and it is particularly rich. At this time, it is the best time of the day to cultivate. Look at your brothers and sisters, they entered the sea of clouds before dawn, just to wait for the sunrise moment—" Sword Soul said to Ah Sheng.

"Cultivating in the sea of clouds?" Ah Sheng couldn't believe it, how could those white clouds carry people? After a while, Ah Sheng suddenly realized that the senior brothers and sisters were all immortal cultivators who had cultivated for decades, and they must have cultivated the ability to fly.

However, Ah Sheng's guess was then slapped in the face, as he heard a sharp eagle whistle, followed by a tumbling cloud and a huge cloud eagle flew out of the clouds. And Yun Ying's back was carrying the seventeenth senior brother who was in the same room with him, De'an.

"Volleying in the air, that's a great supernatural power, but it's not something that ordinary immortal cultivators can achieve. The voice of the sword soul sounded slowly.

Ah Sheng smiled awkwardly, and then greeted the approaching cloud eagle and bowed slightly.

"Ah Sheng, get up, I'm about to come back and call you-" Senior Brother Seventeen jumped off Yun Ying's back, and then Yun Ying screamed and flew into the clouds.

"I've seen Senior Brother Seventeen. Ah Sheng replied softly, but his eyes kept looking at the direction where Yun Ying disappeared.

Dean smiled, put a hand on Ah Sheng's shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, junior brother, you will have it too-"

Ah Sheng was stunned, not understanding what De'an was talking about.

"Every disciple of the Cloud Heaven Sect can get a Cloud Eagle, which is standard—" De'an said.

"Really?"

"Really. ”

"I-" Ah Sheng couldn't say anything excited, if he could also have a cloud eagle, he would be able to fly freely in the air, through the clouds, overlooking the earth.

Yun Ying, that was his childhood dream, it was something he had dreamed of when he first saw the Yunxiao Sect disciple riding Yun Ying.

"Hahaha, let's go, I'll take you around, let's cut off the courtyard, but it's very particular-" De'an took Ah Sheng and entered the courtyard.

Following De'an, Ah Sheng discovered that this seemingly inconspicuous courtyard was surprisingly large. In addition to the rooms for the disciples to stay, there are also countless practice rooms, retreat rooms, war rooms, and illusion rooms. There are even mountains and rivers, shuttling through them, as if they have really entered the mountains and forests.

"Let's cut off the courtyard and divide it into the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard. The outer courtyard is where we live and practice every day. And the inner courtyard is actually a huge secret realm. We are now at the entrance to the secret realm—" Dean pointed to the distance, where there was a towering tree with a trunk as thick as a wall, and when he looked up, the branches and leaves penetrated into the clouds.

"There, only the master and the mother, as well as the senior brother, the second senior brother, the sixth senior brother, can enter. We can't go—" Dean said.

"Why can't we go?" Ah Sheng asked puzzled.

"Hahaha, why else? Because we don't have enough Taoism, if we go in, we're likely to die inside—" Dean said with a smile.

Ah Sheng suddenly gasped.

"By the way, Ah Sheng, what's the matter with the scar on your face?" De'an suddenly changed the topic and asked.

Ah Sheng's heart tightened, and he said in a low voice: "On my way to Yunxiao Sect Gong Mountain, I encountered a fierce beast and almost lost my life. Although he managed to survive in the end, his face was-"

"Hmm-" Dean nodded leisurely, and then said, "It's okay, the scar is a man's medal, don't worry about it." ”

Ah Sheng nodded, but a cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Okay, it's almost over, I'll take you to see Master. De'an led Ah Sheng to the outer courtyard.

At this time, the senior brothers and sisters who went out for morning exercise had already returned, and they were all standing outside the hall of the outer courtyard, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

Ah Sheng counted them, there were only fourteen people, plus himself and seventeen senior brothers, there were only sixteen people.

"What about the other two?" Ah Sheng was puzzled in his heart, and saluted everyone one by one: "Ah Sheng has seen all the senior brothers, senior sister-"

Everyone greeted Ah Sheng one after another.

At this time, Lu Zhenting walked out of the hall, and all the disciples were immediately lined up on both sides, Ah Sheng was a little flustered, thought about it, and hurriedly followed and stood behind De'an.

"Ah Sheng, come to the hall. Lu Zhenting said.

Ah Sheng didn't stand firm, and hurriedly came to the front of the hall again, he was at a loss, and glanced back at De'an.

"Get down on your knees!" De'an opened his mouth towards Ah Sheng, but did not make a sound.

Ah Sheng understood De'an's spoken language, bent his legs, knelt in front of Lu Zhenting, and shouted: "Disciple Ah Sheng, meet the master." ”

Lu Zhenting didn't speak, he didn't look at Ah Sheng carefully when he returned last night, he took a closer look at this time, and immediately frowned.

"Sure enough, as Auntie said, this son's qualifications and talents are just-" Lu Zhenting was very annoyed, and scolded in his heart: "That damn Xishan Hongyu will either not be favored for decades, or he will send such a thing." Hey—"

"Ah Sheng-" Shi Niang shouted at this time, she walked over with a wooden plate, glanced at Lu Zhenting, and then said to Ah Sheng: "Ah Sheng, offer tea to the master." ”

As she spoke, Shi Niang came to her side.

Ah Sheng immediately understood, picked up a cup of hot tea from the wooden plate, held it above his head with both hands, and shouted: "Master, master is above, please accept the disciple's worship." ”

Lu Zhenting frowned, Shi Niang glared at him fiercely, and then he slowly took the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

Shi Niang suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, after the apprenticeship, you are the eighteenth disciple of our Broken Yao Peak." After noon, your master and I will take you to the Flying Eagle Cliff to find your Cloud Eagle mount—"
