Chapter 104: When the Peach Blossoms Bloomed
that moment, Ye Lao Mo suddenly coughed a few times.The True Man Cang Hong sized him up with a glance. "I hear you were forced to self-destruct an incarnation comparable to your main body"Ye Lao Mo sm..."The senior monk's Dharma name was Qing Zhu. His experiences were similar to those of Qin junior brother. He was originally a solitary cultivator and later joined Shaohuashan."
Elder Qingzhu established his foundation and achieved golden elixir within just forty years, a feat unparalleled in our sect's history. His record remains unbroken to this day, yet for reasons unknown, he later descended into madness, confined by the sect.
It is said that back then, Senior Qing Zhu, in a fit of anger for love, hacked open this mountain with his sword, breaking through the ranks and leaving behind Jianmen Pass. There must be an exciting story behind it, but unfortunately, it's all just rumors and legends, unknown to anyone.
What's more astonishing is that after Senior Qingzhu departed, all the spiritual herbs and flowers on the mountain were damaged by sword qi and withered away, leaving a desolate scene. Only the patch of red jade peach tree remained unharmed, its vitality even growing stronger.
That year was the season of peach blossoms, in full bloom. They were a sight to behold even after the winter had passed, and it took three years for them to bear fruit.
After this incident, although Hongyu peach was an ordinary fruit, its sweetness surpassed all other spiritual fruits. Whenever it ripened, many senior uncles would come out of seclusion to pick and taste it.
Master Zhuang stood on his magic weapon, gazing at Jianmen Pass. He was lost in the legends of Senior Qingzhu, feeling a sense of awe and wonder.
Qin Sang envied even more the prodigious talent of Senior Qingzhu. From Qi refinement to core formation, he had succeeded in just forty years - a truly astonishing speed. Even those with heaven-defying spiritual roots and natural advantages who didn't have the bottleneck of the core formation stage would meticulously prepare and retreat for many years, never daring to be even slightly careless.
"I didn't expect that Master Zhuang, who seems so composed, would also have such a romantic heart," Qin Sang agreed. "Is Senior Qingzhu still in the sect"
"Brother Zhuang shook his head, regretfully saying: 'Senior Qingzhu went through the mountain and never came back. The masters and ancestors also avoided talking about him. There was a rumor that he had been seen on the ancient battlefield of immortals, but it was never confirmed. Until today, there has been no news from Senior Qingzhu for many years. If Senior Qingzhu couldn't form an infant soul, I'm afraid…'
Qin Sang fell silent. The path of cultivation, it truly was one where countless bones were scattered for the sake of achieving great accomplishments.
With Senior Qingzhu's talent, all that remains now is the legend of Jianmen Pass. If I were to die and vanish from this world, I fear no one would remember me.
This is Taosha Peak.
Master Zhu turned around and pointed to a mountain peak in the distance.
This mountain is quite peculiar. There's a massive stone tower on top, and upon closer inspection, you realize that the tower was actually carved from the peak of the mountain itself. There are also a few smaller towers along the mountainside.
According to Brother Zhuang, Taotu Peak is where Shaohua Mountain stores its martial arts techniques, incantations, and various cultivation scriptures. Qin Sang hurriedly memorized this information.

The mysterious orchid he brought down, its medicinal properties still unknown. Perhaps with some time, a trip to Mount Pagoda Peak would reveal its secrets within the Shao Hua Mountain library.
"Qi refining disciples can enter the first floor of the Treasure Tower Peak with their waist cards to check information, but it will cost spirit stones. If they want to take the information out of Treasure Tower Peak, they will need to pay extra. This includes listening to lectures from senior and junior brothers in Dao Men Peak, which also requires paying spirit stones. But don't worry, Qin, you have a monthly salary after being assigned as a miscellaneous worker, enough to support your cultivation. This is also an advantage of being a sect disciple. You should be more clear about the hardships of wandering cultivators than I am."
Then Qin Sang asked Shao Huashan, "What kind of menial tasks are there in the sect I've already experienced them at Yuangongmen and absolutely refuse to choose anything too busy."
Without any extra support, he dared not squander his spirit stones to set up an array for gathering spiritual energy.
After robbing Zhao Yan's pouch, he now considered himself to have a small fortune. He set aside a middle-grade spirit stone for emergencies, and the rest should be enough to support his cultivation. Finding an easy errand job and diligently cultivating would be the right path.
Master Zhuang told Qin Sang not to worry and first took him familiar with Shaohua Mountain. The two flew on their swords from Daomen Peak inward, with each mountain peak introduced to Qin Sang.
On Shaohua Mountain, disciples at the Qi Refining stage can only move within the Dao Men Peak's surroundings. The various peaks inside are basically forbidden areas, and one must never venture in recklessly.
This is Mount Jingyue. The Morning Smoke Fairy secluded herself here to cultivate.
Following Master Zhuang's guidance, Qin Sang saw a small hill that wasn't particularly noticeable among the mountains. However, on top of the hill, there were lush forests of bamboo and clear springs like precious jade, possessing a unique charm.

Along the way, Master Zhuang mentioned Fairy Chenyan more than once. Qin Sang had heard it so many times his ears were getting calloused.
According to Master Zhuang, this Morning Smoke Fairy possesses a peerless beauty and an ethereal grace, almost as if she had descended from the heavens. She is truly a rare sight both in the sky and on earth. All that's missing is for her to be called a fairy who has come down to Earth.
Qin Sang then asked Zhuang Shidi if he had seen it with his own eyes. Unexpectedly, he had only seen a portrait and was captivated to such an extent that Qin Sang was speechless.
Previously, when I reminded myself to be an immortal and forget about the red dust, where did that seemingly righteous senior brother go
Chen Yanxian's talent is more enviable than her beauty. It is said that she has a heavenly spiritual root, and her cultivation has reached the late stage of Jindan. In order to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, she has been in seclusion on Jingyue Peak for over twenty years.

Hundreds of years old, right

Qin Sang pondered inwardly.
After wandering for a long time, they finally paid their respects to Shaohua Mountain, which gave the mountain its name. Inside the temple, the only Yuanying ancestor, Dongyang Bo's cave dwelling, was located on this mountain.
After returning to Dao Men Peak, Zhuang senior brother brought Qin Sang to a nearby mountain and settled him in a hut. He said to Qin Sang, "Qin junior brother, if you have nothing else to do, come with me to choose some chores"
The two then flew towards Daomen Peak. Along the way, they encountered several senior brothers and sisters who were all rushing by. Qin Sang inquired and learned that tonight a master uncle proficient in incantations was going to hold a ceremony to pass on his teachings.
As he was speaking, a sudden gust of wind swept past from behind him. Qin Sang hurriedly dodged out of the way, and a swift streak of light brushed past him.
Qin Sang frowned slightly, holding back from saying anything. However, the escaping light returned, and a young man with a national character face stepped onto his magic weapon, looked at the two people, and said with a smile, "It turns out to be Master Zhuang. This junior brother seems unfamiliar, I wonder how to address him"
"This is Senior Brother Sun De."
Zhang Yan introduced Qin Sang to Sun, "Senior Brother Sun, Junior Brother Qin Sang is proficient in swordsmanship and just entered the sect. Master Wen asked me to lead Junior Brother Qin in, so it's normal that you haven't met him."
Sun De suddenly realized, "I wondered why someone would come in at this time. Junior Brother Qin, I was also eager to go to Daomen Peak to listen to Master Uncle's teachings just now. I was rash and almost bumped into you. Please don't mind, Junior Brother Qin."
After that, he still bowed his head with an apologetic smile.
Qin Sang naturally wouldn't mind upon seeing this, and replied politely, "Senior Brother Sun speaks too highly of me."
Sun De's eyes twinkled, and he smiled and asked, "Brother Qin, since you just entered the sect, which menial task have you chosen"
Qin Sang shook her head.

Then, Zheng solemnly said, “I am just about to take Qin, my junior brother, to Dao Men Peak to choose one.”
“That Qin Junior Brother, don’t be fooled by Zhuang Junior Brother. If you’re not short on spirit stones, don't choose those few notorious errand runners, or you’ll regret it!”
Sun De burst into laughter, ignoring Zhuang Yan's solemn disapproval, and strode away.
