Chapter 122: Chapter 122: The Senior Sister’s First Time Accepting a Gift
Gu An emerged from the Exile Land and left the Outer Sect without encountering many people.
Thus, many were unaware of his departure after his return.
But upon reflection, he seemed to have no friends in the Outer Sect.
At most, he was acquainted with Zeng Lan and Yu Tu.
"I wonder how Yu Tu and his childhood sweetheart are doing."
Gu An mused as he walked, then strode towards the Inner Sect.
Whether Zeng Lan and the others continued their night logging was unknown to him.
And as for the Junior Brother from whom he had taken a Spirit Stone, if he mentioned his name again, he should be able to keep the stone.
After all, he had let people in that circle know that he had returned.
Perhaps they were the only ones aware.
It was a kind of deep brotherly bond.
Stepping out of the Outer Sect’s confines, Gu An took to Sword Flight and headed for Qianchen Peak.
At the foot of the mountain where the Outer Sect was located, lay the Sect Front Peak.
Here resided some Inner Sect Disciples, and there were also a few entrances to buildings.
The Book Collection Pavilion, Merit Hall.
Behind the front peak rose a towering mountain, enveloped in celestial aura, the Sect’s Main Peak.
The great Sect’s hall was here, and all major decisions were made in this place.
To the left of the Main Peak, there were Six Main Peaks stretching into the distance, with Qianchen Peak being the farthest and nearest to the Endless Mountain Range.
To the right, three great peaks were home to three grand buildings.
The Book Collection Pavilion, Merit Hall, and Law Enforcement Hall respectively.
The front peak had branches of the Book Collection Pavilion, Merit Hall, and Law Enforcement Hall.
Feeling the expanse of mountain ranges, Gu An was quite emotional.
One must know that the distances between the Main Peaks were immense; without Sword Flight, he couldn’t imagine how long it would take on foot.
"No wonder most Outer Disciples reside at the foot of the mountain; it would not be easy to move in and out if they were inside."
Savoring the speed of Sword Flight, Gu An felt that he could, at this moment, consider himself a true Cultivator.
Sword Control to ride the winds, banishing demons between heaven and earth.
Gu An recited this line silently, reminiscing about his passionate youth.
Now, he was older.
All he sought was a better life for himself.
Taking a deep breath, Gu An dispelled his extraneous thoughts.
As his cultivation grew, a trace of irritability lingered in his heart.
Ever since leaving the Exile Land, that irritability had diminished significantly.
Otherwise, he’d feel the impulse to lash out at even the slightest provocation.
After finding his way, Gu An smoothly arrived at Qianchen Peak.
The mountain was majestic and magnificent, with the peak enshrouded in white clouds like a picturesque fairyland.
The mountainside was embraced by lush bamboo, wildflowers, and copious Spiritual Energy, resembling a fine misty rain.
Numerous buildings lay at the base, and scattered structures dotted the mid-mountain.
The summit was beyond anyone’s scrutiny.
Gu An descended with his sword to the foot of the mountain, where a long river ran through the entire peak.
Riverside, there stood a structure made of Green Sun Wood that bore the inscription "Qianchen Peak."
Gu An walked in, inquired about the registration point, and received a token.
He was received by a Senior Sister.
She glanced at the token, puzzled: "You came by yourself?"
"Yes," Gu An nodded.
"How strange," the Senior Sister murmured, somewhat bewildered, "Typically, those who receive this token are considered valued and would be brought here collectively. It’s unexpected that you came alone.
If you were not favored, you generally wouldn’t get this token."
Gu An did not explain, opting instead to stand quietly.
"Never mind, choose a place to reside," the Senior Sister handed him some items and continued,
"After seven months, you’ll begin executing basic Sect tasks. You can come and choose when the time comes.
Use this time to adapt to this place; you have a month and a half."
"You will be able to receive Sect resources normally next month."
Taking some items, Gu An found two tokens, one was the Inner Sect Disciple’s badge, the other bore the character ’Ye’.
It looked like he truly belonged to that person now.
Apart from these, there was also a handbook and new garments with accessories.
It was not much different from when he first entered the Outer Sect.
Gu An looked around and finally, discreetly handed over a Spirit Stone, saying softly, "Thank you, Senior Sister. I just want to ask which would be a better choice for accommodation."
The Senior Sister who received the Spirit Stone was stunned, somewhat taken aback.
This surprised Gu An. Had she never been offered one before?
"It’s not appropriate, I’ve just assumed my post," she whispered, looking around.
"Don’t think too much, Senior Sister. I am new here and not very familiar with the place," Gu An spoke softly.
She glanced around and eventually accepted the Spirit Stone, then said earnestly:
"What kind of accommodation do you want?
Actually, most of our living quarters are at the foot of the mountain. The closer to the mountain peak, the richer the Spiritual Energy, and the same goes for the riversides, so there are quite a few people in both places.
There really are vacancies, but they’re not in the selection. I can help you get settled if you wish to stay there."
Gu An found that she was indeed enthusiastic.
However, he shook his head and said seriously, "Senior Sister, do you know where there is a quiet place to stay?"
He didn’t need a place with rich Spiritual Energy; tranquility was all that mattered.
"For that, you should go near the back mountain. There’s a small creek there, a place where Demon Beasts like to gather. It’s not particularly dangerous, but you should still be cautious," she said earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Gu An nodded and said, "Let’s go with that place."
After a pause, he asked, "Would it be possible to dig a pond there?"
"Yes, it would be," she replied affirmatively.
After that, he planned to leave. Perhaps because she had received a Spirit Stone, she felt obligated to do something more. The Senior Sister handed him a handbook, saying, "This is the relationship handbook I’ve compiled for our lineage. Junior Brother can take a look."
Gu An accepted it gratefully.
He hardly knew anyone in the Sect, so this was indeed a big help.
Then he followed the edge of the mountain range and passed Qianfeng River, finally finding a small creek.
He continued further in and discovered a large tree with a dilapidated house on it.
Gu An frowned; the place was nice but lacked a courtyard, which seemed to be missing something.
He eventually fenced in the area with wooden railings and then confirmed his residence with the badge.
The stream in front was indeed small, so Gu An dug out a pit. Once enough water had accumulated, he let the creature he brought explore.
The creature didn’t seem to mind and began to explore.
After completing these tasks, Gu An began to tidy up the house, repairing what needed repairing and cleaning what needed cleaning.
It was late at night by the time Gu An finished.
He simply lay on the rooftop, falling asleep under the moonlight.
The Array given by Hua Jiyang was already set up; otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to relax like this.
During the night, the creature kept a close eye on the house built in the tree, deep in thought.
Perhaps contemplating that in the future, getting inside would no longer mean jumping over a threshold.
But climbing a tree.
The next morning dawned.
Suddenly, Gu An felt something vibrate atop him.
Looking down, it was the token from Senior Brother Ye.
Spiritual Energy fluctuations were emanating from the token.
Immediately following, a deep voice came through: "Why did the remaining people not gather at the square within the designated time?"
This sudden message caught Gu An off guard.
Moreover, where is the square?
When was the gathering mentioned?
Does ’the remaining people’ refer to himself?
Gu An’s brow furrowed, then followed the directions to a small peak’s practice square.
As soon as he arrived, he saw Senior Brother Ye looking at him.
As well as five fellow disciples taking joy in his misfortune.
"Junior Brother seems to be quite late." Senior Brother Ye looked at Gu An and said warmly,
"Do you find me displeasing?"
