Chapter 117: The green rock

“Amitabha” the Great Monk of Sorrow claps his hand and exclaimed: “To think she would come and explain herself, as well as talk about the matters of her past. That’s already quite a change”

Xuanyuan Tianzun contemplated, saying: “Xie Dao Ling has really changed quite a bit, if it was her before…”

The Great Monk of Sorrow recited from heart: “If anything were to happen to my disciple, I will kill all the culprits, including you”

Both of them exchanged looks, feeling a hint of fear.

“Hah, forget it, forget it” Xuanyuan Tianzun mumbled.

The Great Monk of Sorrow looked at him again, confirming that he really did let it go, sighed with relief.

If the two Saints were to really make things tense, he won’t enjoy being stuck in between of them.

However, for Xie Dao Ling to not only compromise but also apologize like that. It’s like the sun will rise from the West tomorrow.

What made her change so much?

The Great Monk of Sorrow couldn’t understand.

Gu Qing Shan of course didn’t know that so many things happened above the clouds.

He brought Xiuxiu along, said goodbye to Ning Yue Xi and Leng Tian Xing and returned to Bai Hua Immortal country on a large-scale teleportation formation.

As they stood on the large-scale teleportation formation, all the other cultivators stopped their activities and silently watched them leave.

This was a silent show of respect.

Before, people only respect Bai Hua Sect because Bai Hua Fairy exists.

But from now on, the entire cultivation world will know, just what Bai Hua Fairy’s disciples are like.

As the light flashed on the teleportation formation, Gu Qing Shan and Xiuxiu appeared back in Bai Hua Immortal country.

Looking at the hourglass on his War God UI, Gu Qing Shan saw only half the sand has dropped.

He then checked his Soul Points.

“Current Soul Points: 532”

Humans are living beings too, so after killing 2 human Foundation Establishment realm cultivators, his Soul Points increased by 2.

As they returned to Bai Hua Palace, Qin Xiao Lou was sitting inside the great hall, blankly staring.

Seeing them return, he got down and checked the two of them. After confirming that they weren’t hurt or anything, he sighed from relief.

“You didn’t even tell me before you returned, I couldn’t make any food in advance because it would get cold. I’ll go make some now”

He complained but still began to make food as he normally does.

“Where’s Shifu?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“She left with first brother, saying that they had something urgent to take care of” Qin Xiao Lou answered.

“Something urgent?” Gu Qing Shan and Xiuxiu both repeated after him.

What sort of matter would be able to stall Bai Hua Fairy? Gu Qing Shan wondered.

“Nothing major, we’re back” white goose’s voice was heard from outside.

He flew back into Bai Hua Palace, landing on the table.

Both Gu Qing Shan and Xiuxiu breathed out in relief.

“When will we eat?” white goose asked Qin Xiao Lou.

“Soon” Qin Xiao Lou’s hands moved quicker.

Gu Qing Shan looked at him, seeing that Qin Xiao Lou was so busy he couldn’t even stay still for a second, rolled up his sleeves: “I’ll help”

The two of them quickly cooked all the food, when Bai Hua Fairy finally arrived, the alluring smell of food had already filled the entire hall.

Xiuxiu showed off her Divine Phoenix Talisman, saying: “Shifu, look!”

“Ah? Quite decent, where did you get it?” Bai Hua Fairy smiled and asked.

“Senior brother won it for me!” Xiuxiu replied.

Her spirit energy circulated into the talisman, as the Phoenix phantom appeared from the talisman, it made Qin Xiao Lou jumped.

“Isn’t this Tianzun’s Divine talisman?” Qin Xiao Lou only need a glance to recognize the talisman’s origin, couldn’t help but ask Gu Qing Shan: “How did Xiuxiu get that?”

“A blind bastard was picking on Xiuxiu, so I took his talisman” Gu Qing Shan calmly replied.

“Senior brother also used a single sword strike to hit a bunch of cultivators unconscious!” Xiuxiu happily added.

Qin Xiao Lou stood up, his face grim: “Who picked on our Xiuxiu?”

“Lee-something? I don’t remember his name, but I already dealt with him” He casually answered, as he poured them both a shot of alcohol.

“Come, let’s drink” he raised his cup.

Hearing that, Qin Xiao Lou face lit up back into a smile, knocking cups with Gu Qing Shan.

He said: “To have a Divine Phoenix Talisman, he must be from Blue Clouds Pass”

Gu Qing Shan answered: “Who cares who he is”

They both laughed loudly as they downed their shots.

Bai Hua Fairy called: “Qing Shan”

“Yes Shifu”

“Where’s the first-place seal?”

Gu Qing Shan quickly took out the seal.

Bai Hua Fairy waved, and the seal was already in her hand.

Very rarely, her face showed a clear expression of triumphant pride.

Looking at the seal, she muttered: “Hmph, looks like this Saint clearly knows how to teach her disciples, wouldn’t you say so?”

Gu Qing Shan and Qin Xiao Lou exchanged looks and very wisely doesn’t interrupt as their Shifu gloats.

Bai Hua Fairy cleared her throat, putting the seal away.

“I will keep this thing for now”

“Yes, Shifu”

“There’s also one other thing” Bai Hua Fairy remembered.

Gu Qing Shan asked: “What is it Shifu?”

Bai Hua Fairy said: “Hm, today is your turn to stand at the green rock”

White goose also agreed: “That’s right, Qing Shan should also show up for them to know about him”

Shifu, is agreeing with yourself like that interesting? Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but complained in his mind, but very respectfully replied: “Yes”

Qin Xiao Lou was clearly happy, saying: “That’s great, I’m finally released”

“You just stay put and cultivate during these next few days, don’t go and run off!” Bai Hua Fairy lightly glared at him as she spoke.

“Yes, yes, Shifu” Qin Xiao Lou replied, but seeing his rolling eyes, you can tell he was already thinking about where he should wander off to.

After the meal, Gu Qing Shan went to the forked road on Bai Hua city’s outskirts, stopping at the green rock.

There’s already quite a few cultivators waiting there.

Ever since the news that Bai Hua Fairy took in another disciple this year, Bai Hua Immortal country became even more rowdy than before, as more people come to try their luck.

Looking at the busy crowd of people, Gu Qing Shan also felt a bit panicked.

Just a few days ago, he came here in rags, spent all his wits and abilities and finally managed to complete a Bai Hua list, saving himself, Ning Yue Xi and Gong Sun Zhi.

But now, he’s Bai Hua Fairy’s direct disciple, no longer need to worry about scriptures, or cultivation resources, he’s even taught by the Saint herself, his status is something for people to look up to.

Unconsciously, he had obtained a starting point that’s surpassed where his previous life stood.

Even his understanding of swordsmanship, thanks to Bai Hua Fairy herself teaching him, he’s already gaining distance from where his previous life stood, the only difference now is that his cultivation isn’t quite high enough so there are a few techniques that he still can’t use yet.

Remembering all the things he’s been through, compared to today, it all seems like a fleeting dream.

Gu Qing Shan stayed silent for a bit, then suddenly laughed as he jumped onto the green rock.

Raising his voice, he said: “I am Bai Hua Sect’s 3rd place, Gu Qing Shan”

“I’m here today to give you all a test, if you can pass this test, you can go on this left road to attempt a Bai Hua list”

Below, regardless if they were Rejuvenation, Golden Core, Foundation Establishment or qi training realm, all the cultivators clasped their fists, saying: “Then please tell us your test, honorable one”

Gu Qing Shan then said: “Truthfully speaking, there is no test today, only a prerequisite”

Seeing the rest of them eager to hear what they need to do, Gu Qing Shan spoke: “From now on, whenever I’m here to pick out people to go pass, those that have lived for 10 years in Bai Hua Immortal country will automatically pass my gate here”

“Those that have lived for 20 years, I can help you go through one less gate”

“Those that have lived for 50 years, I can help you directly skip all the gates for a chance to attempt a Bai Hua list”

The crowd all exchanged looks, a bit confused.

Why is the prerequisite so strange?

But many quick-witted cultivators have already turned around and walked directly to Bai Hua city.
