Chapter 1: New Year’s Gift: One Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian Per Person (2)
After hearing that the primary focus of the Hunting Beast Organization was to hunt demonic beasts in the Fire Spirit Mountain Range, with their secondary activity being the covert interception of cultivators who had entered the mountain for trials, Bai Lian smiled with satisfaction.
After all, the system had rated her morality as zero, and she was worried that her Martial Sisters might be affected by her actions.
“Haha,” at that moment, the burly cultivator who had been discussing the news chuckled heartily. “Who would have thought that little girl could be so vicious when wielding that big iron pole to beat people up? The nickname ‘Blood Hand Butcher’ is certainly not without reason!”
“She’s a bit cruel,” another cultivator chimed in, “but you have to admit, only someone even more ruthless than an evil person can keep them in check. In any case, killing them is a good thing!”
“Hmm?” Bai Lian was slightly confused.
Who is the ‘Blood Hand Butcher’? Isn’t it the third Martial Sister?
Soon, new messages started appearing in the chat group she had joined.
**Your friends Blood Hand Butcher Xiao Jinse and White-Clothes like Blood Su Youwei have come online.**
When Bai Lian entered the chatroom, she saw the two Martial Sisters teasing each other with their nicknames.
“…”
In front of Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian, the two quickly tempered their arrogance and began recounting their experiences over the past few days.
Their conflict with the Hunting Beast Organization stemmed from the organization’s greed.
While exploring the Fire Spirit Mountain Range, Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei had discovered a five-hundred-year-old Chaoyuan Yufen Flower.
This was the fate of the protagonist!
With the flower, and the materials Xiao Jinse had previously gathered, she could concoct a Medicinal Pill capable of upgrading her Spiritual Root to a Fire-type Abnormal Spiritual Root with flame properties.
This meant that Xiao Jinse would soon become one of the most talented disciples of the Duxian sect.
At first, Xiao Jinse thought that as long as she could cultivate without interruption, she would succeed. But who could have imagined that she would now surpass her initial expectations?
Though this was largely due to her “Holy Spiritual Root,” if it weren’t for Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s efforts to nurture her body, how could she have accelerated her growth so smoothly?
Praise Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian!
ヽ(≧∀≦)ﾉ
She cast aside her fears and began chasing after her true self.
She recalled her first night meeting with the Third Martial Sister, when Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian had passionately expressed her wish to restore the past glory of Qiongming Peak.
Now, she finally had the courage to say, “Rebuild the glory of Qiongming Peak, we must not shirk our duty!”
But, as in all good stories, the good times were not to last.
Just as the protagonists in tales often do, they encountered trouble during their trials!
Just as she began gathering the Chaoyuan Yunfen Flowers, the people from the Hunting Beast Organization arrived.
“Stand still and hand over everything you have!”
Would Su Youwei take such a risk?
If they were to throw away their weapons, wouldn’t they become easy prey, waiting to be slaughtered?
Without hesitation, she attacked.
With the help of Su Hong Yi, who was concealed within the Ten Thousand Poison Pearl, Su Youwei easily defeated them all.
But their luck wasn’t great.
The people from the Hunting Beast Organization had been chasing a fugitive deer demon nearby that day.
The deer demon had escaped, so they were now looking to collect some interest from elsewhere!
Moreover, Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei had killed some of their own members.
And so, a chase began.
Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei didn’t go into detail about the battles they had fought in the past few days.
They only mentioned that with help from nearby friendly cultivators, the Ten Thousand Poison Pearl’s ability to absorb all types of poisons, and the sudden outburst of power after Xiao Jinse consumed the Chaoyuan Yunfen Flower, they had finally defeated the Hunting Beast Organization.
[Blood Hand Butcher, ha-ha, the Second Elder Martial Sister looked so ugly at that time. Elder Martial Sister, I’ve even drawn her appearance at that moment. I’ll show it to you when we’re back.]
Bai Lian, “…?”
Don’t fight, don’t fight.
Hmm.
[We’ll talk about it in more detail when you come back.]
Su Youwei immediately stopped “ostracizing” the Second Elder Martial Sister.
What surprised Bai Lian, however, was that Xiao Jinse didn’t retaliate.
Bai Lian quickly figured it out.
[No matter what, I still have to thank the Third Martial Sister…]
After a bloody battle, although the Second and Third Martial Sisters had emerged victorious, the crisis was far from over!
The Chaoyuan Yunfen Flower was an incredibly potent medicinal item.
Xiao Jinse was already injured, yet she stubbornly refused to let go of the opportunity and insisted on consuming the flower.
Here’s where the problem arose.
Her body began to burn, almost turning the same color as blood.
“Sigh, I really can’t just watch you die!”
After a moment of silence, Su Youwei stood up.
Xiao Jinse was her greatest rival on the path to success, but she was also her Second Elder Martial Sister.
When Su Youwei had just entered the Duxian sect, Xiao Jinse had seen her being bullied. Without hesitation, she had stood up for her.
Now, it was Su Youwei’s turn to help.
Using the Ten Thousand Poison Pearl, she absorbed the “fire poison” from Xiao Jinse.
With Su Youwei’s help, Xiao Jinse finally survived.
She had successfully upgraded her Spiritual Root, and also used the opportunity to break through to the later stages of the Golden Core Stage.
Su Youwei also received a pleasant surprise.
The “fire poison” had completely filled the temporary “emptiness” in Su Hong Yi’s body.
The Ten Thousand Poison Pearl had evolved, gaining fire-type powers.
Congratulations!
Seeing this harmonious scene, how could Bai Lian not feel happy?
Su Youwei was also thrilled.
She had saved the life of the Second Elder Martial Sister, and as a result, the Second Elder Martial Sister would now have to bow down to her from this point forward!
While this advantage may not seem significant, it could prove crucial during the process of “climbing” the mountain that was Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian. It could very well be the boost that helps her reach the top first!
Even if she had to step back and share the summit with the Second Elder Martial Sister, she could still take this opportunity to monopolize the lead.
Great!
Su Youwei silently praised herself for her sudden, decisive action.
But…
One of the keys to winning any battle is intelligence.
After their joyful conversation ended, Bai Lian spent the next half hour playing Go with Martial Sisters who had already started their journey back.
In the following days, more and more people flocked to the Duxian Sect.
Two days before the ceremony to celebrate the Blood Tree Patriarch’s Guafeng Disaster, Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei finally returned.
It was already the beginning of December.
At the summit of Qiongming Peak, Bai Lian gathered all the Martial Sisters together.
She had a serious expression on her face.
The Martial Sisters quickly regained their focus, as they knew Bai Lian would keep a close eye on them.
“The Blood Tree Patriarch’s ceremony is important, but what’s even more important is the Sect Grand Competition at the start of next year!”
“Yes!”
The Second Martial Sister shouted out with enthusiasm.
She was full of energy now; although she still couldn’t compare to the Fourth Martial Sister in the Nascent Soul Stage, she had surpassed the Third Martial Sister.
The Third Martial Sister, however, was less thrilled.
Hong Yi had grown stronger, but she had remained stagnant.
No… she needed a private lesson from Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian! After all, Bai Lian was best at this sort of thing!
The Fourth Martial Sister remained calm, while the Fifth Martial Sister looked uninterested. Her cultivation base was still too weak for her to even participate in the competition.
Tong Yao, who was sitting nearby, looked especially listless.
She had been spinning like a top lately from all the practice with the jade rabbit.
Damn rabbit!
“It’s almost the New Year, but there will be no rest for the weary. To motivate you all, I’ve made a decision!”
At that moment, Bai Lian pointed toward the empty courtyard.
Her True Secret of 500 Million Dharma Bodies was activated. A misty water-light shone, and in the courtyard, four Bai Lian figures emerged in an instant.
One for the Second Martial Sister, one for the Third Martial Sister, one for the Fourth Martial Sister…
And one for the Fifth Martial Sister!
Bai Lian hadn’t had much free time lately and couldn’t personally teach her Martial Sisters.
These Dharma Bodies may look dazed and foolish, but they were more than capable of sparking her Martial Sisters’ cultivation!
Everyone would get an Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian? Was there ever such a gift?
For a moment, the Martial Sisters forgot all their other duties.
The jade rabbit raised its head.
“Haw haw? (What about me?)”
Why don’t I get one?!
I’m also your “Martial Sister!”
Tong Yao was also feeling wronged.
She wanted an Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian too!
“Make one for me as well!”
Su Youwei tightened her face.
If that’s the case, she should get two Elder Martial Sister Bai Lians, right? After all, Hong Yi should also get one!
“What a shallow bunch of disciples!”
At that moment, An Lan, sitting at the table, let out a cold hum and took another bite of melon.
