Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone
Chapter 154 - 152: The Demon Sect Master Comes to Celebrate
How could Qin Yu know that these days, the Sect Leader nearly visited Su Xiyue every few days, leaving her no opportunity to go out.
What if the Sect Leader caught them in the act?!
Seemingly sensing Qin Yu’s gaze, Su Xiyue, seated gracefully in the upper position, showed no change in expression, but her eyes trembled slightly.
Perhaps even she hadn’t realized yet that just the sight of Qin Yu was enough to disturb her calm and tranquility.
Even in such solemn occasions, she couldn’t help but recall the scenes of seeking Qin Yu.
Her delicate form was involuntarily tense.
Qin Yu merely glanced briefly and withdrew his gaze, feeling quite pleased in his heart.
Who could have expected that such an ethereal, sacred, above earthly desires First Fairy had once had such a close friendship with him?
The Golden Core banquet continued.
"Elder Jian He of the Hundred Sword Sect brings the Sect Leader’s gift to congratulate Fairy Su!"
A voice sang out from outside, then Elder Jian He of the Hundred Sword Sect entered the hall with the gift.
Instantly, the entire hall’s atmosphere became subtle.
The previous actions of the Hundred Sword Sect undoubtedly meant a direct falling out, yet they dared to come now.
Such confidence is truly remarkable.
Under many unfriendly gazes, Jian He walked into the hall with his head held high, seemingly unafraid.
"Sect Leader Xihe, Saintess Xiyue, Jian He represents the Sect Leader in presenting the gift!"
After paying respects, he began announcing the gift one by one.
"Take a seat!"
Su Xihe’s cold voice sounded.
Though she wanted to keep this elder from the Hundred Sword Sect, they came to celebrate with courtesy; it was inappropriate to react.
For now, let it go.
Soon after, even the emissaries from surrounding Immortal Sects came to investigate or to celebrate; that remains unknown.
Su Xiyue did not conceal her aura.
The Golden Core Realm cultivation could not be faked.
All those envoys were shocked, except for Jian He of the Hundred Sword Sect, who appeared serene.
Rumors say Su Xiyue possesses Dao Bone; is the Hundred Sword Sect truly unafraid of its growth?!
"The Demon Sect Leader comes to celebrate!"
Amid the speculation, another voice sang out from outside.
"The Demon Sect Leader?!"
Inside the hall, all eyes simultaneously focused on the entrance.
There, the Demon Sect Leader Leng Feng strode in with steady and majestic steps, exuding a fearsome aura, entering the hall briskly.
Instantly, the previously harmonious atmosphere inside the hall seemed swept by a chill, freezing over, followed by an inexplicable tension quietly spreading.
The Hundred Sword Sect was understandable, given the continual exchanges with the Cyan Mountain Sect.
But the Demon Sect was different.
Such a Golden Core banquet, even sending an emissary was rare, let alone the Sect Leader coming personally.
Such a scene made the atmosphere inside the hall more subtle, with everyone inwardly cautious, watching quietly.
From the high place, Su Xihe’s gaze showed astonishment.
Though the Demon Sect sent word beforehand of their arrival to celebrate, she hadn’t expected Leng Feng would come personally.
However.
He came alone, evidently proving he wasn’t here to cause trouble.
As to why, it was intriguing.
To show respect, Su Xihe and Saintess Su Xiyue stood up and greeted him.
Leng Feng then presented a Storage Ring, and someone beside him sang out:
"A scroll of top-grade Spirit Grade Cultivation Technique!"
"Ten Spiritual Essence Fruits of a century!"
"One hundred top-grade Spirit Stones!"
A total of eighteen gifts, each different and rare, made everyone in the hall moved.
The Demon Sect, truly a grand gesture!
Logically, Su Xiyue’s breakthrough to the Golden Core wasn’t favorable for the Demon Sect... Is this a concession?!
It seemed unlikely.
Even previously, when Cyan Mountain and Hundred Sword Sect suppressed, the Demon Sect didn’t act like this.
Su Xihe furrowed her brows slightly.
The gifts were undeniably significant!
Could it be due to Su Xiyue rescuing Leng Ruyu before?!
He did not need such heavy gifts for that, right?
Were there other motives?
"Please!"
The Demon Sect Leader sat next to Liu Zixiao, only a seat away from Qin Yu, which made him slightly uneasy.
It reminded him of that charming little demoness from the Demon Sect.
The little demoness was mesmerizing indeed, yet like a thorny rose, exquisite from afar, alluring in her bloom, but attempting to pluck her brought injury from her thorns.
Fortunately, the little demoness hadn’t come, allowing Qin Yu some relief.
After all, his little incident of killing a Hundred Sword Sect disciple shouldn’t concern the little demoness eternally, right?
Next, the hall’s atmosphere seemed to grow more somber; nearly everyone pondered the Demon Sect Leader’s intentions.
Only Saintess Su Xiyue, like a serenely blooming orchid, sat quietly on the edge of the noise, appearing out of place, as if the Golden Core banquet was irrelevant to her.
Soon, various spirit fruits were brought up; Qin Yu wasn’t greedy, merely thinking of his little sister-in-law and junior sister at home.
Thus, he tasted a few pieces, planning to take them back for them.
The Golden Core banquet seemed unrelated to him, and no one came to talk to him.
His cultivation and root bone were really unremarkable; the emissaries from other Immortal Sects merely glanced at him and looked away.
Probably, in their eyes, Cyan Mountain only had one Saintess to support the occasion.
Halfway through the banquet...
Sect Leader Su Xihe’s gaze swept over the attendees, emitting no aura, yet a subtle authority quietly enveloped all.
"Today, at this Golden Core banquet, there remains a major announcement from our Cyan Mountain Sect."
Instantly, all eyes in the hall focused, even Cyan Mountain’s elders appeared puzzled.
What major announcement could be made at the Saintess’ Golden Core banquet?!
"From this moment, Qin Yu will officially be acknowledged as a Direct Disciple under me, Su Xihe. In three days, a formal ceremony will be held to declare it to the world!"
"Wow!..."
With these words, everyone was astonished, especially the elders within Cyan Mountain, showing varied expressions, their gazes like daggers, all focusing on Qin Yu.
And those emissaries from other Immortal Sects appeared puzzled.
Who is Qin Yu?
Why had they never heard of him?
Only following the Cyan Mountain elders’ gaze did they notice Qin Yu, whom they had ignored prior.
Frankly, based on cultivation and root bone, Qin Yu seemed very ordinary to them, not even eligible for the Inner Sect.
How could such a person be chosen as a Direct Disciple by the Sect Leader?!
"Qin Yu, come forward!"
"Yes!"
Though feeling somewhat sudden, Qin Yu complied, standing up and walking to the front of the hall, paying respects to Su Xihe.
