Chapter 105: Soul Shattering Bell

  "But Master."

  "There's nothing to be gained from dwelling on this, Yun Luan. The matter has already passed, and thinking too much about it won't do you any good now." Lan Xian Zhen Ren interrupted Mu Rong Yun Luan, who was about to ask more questions, his tone slightly angry. After all, the destruction of the Qi Ling Sect's library and other things was a permanent pain in his heart, and those fierce Qi Ling Sect disciples were often self-destructing their Yuan Ying Jin Dan after being captured, leaving them with very little useful information."

  "Think about it yourself, I still have some things to take care of, so I won't stay here with you. However, Yun Luan, you also need to hurry up and cultivate. Although I know your talent is astonishing, and your cultivation of attack-type techniques can be considered somewhat accomplished, but compared to the young disciples of the top ten sects, there's still a gap. Even though we may surpass them in terms of magical equipment, our chances of winning are only fifty-fifty. This trial is even more important for us than the Great Tool Repair Competition back then." Lan Yun spoke freely, completely unaware of the look of disgust that flashed across Muyun Yun Luan's face, which was enough to reveal her inner turmoil.

  "Did you hear clearly, Yun Luan?" asked Lan Xian Zhen Ren.

  "I understand, Master." Mu Rongyun's voice was somewhat weak and toneless, but Zhan Yunxian seemed to have not noticed this point and flew away with a satisfied heart.

  "Alchemist, alchemist, what is an alchemist after all? Is it just about pursuing endless benefits and power?" Murong Yunfan sighed, feeling extremely melancholic, and at this moment, Sun Ming's figure appeared in his mind.

  "Instantly understood, why didn't I think of that? It seems you're far superior to me, not just by a little. Alas, unfortunately, there's no chance for us to compete again."

  Nanhuaxing is even more backward than Yunyuanxing, where the Qilings are located. According to the classification of Xiantian planets set by the Holy Alliance, Nanhuaxing is a fifth-grade Xiantian planet, which is the lowest level. Although there are also cultivators on this planet, their general cultivation levels are not high, and they are located on the edge of the Cultivation Realm, so this planet is also a place where the major forces in the Cultivation Realm rarely set foot.

  Although it's only a fifth-grade cultivation planet, after all, the sparrow is small but complete with five internal organs. So, there are still many countries and sects, and the distribution of forces is also complex. The Huayun Sect is one of the most outstanding among these forces. Although it's just an emerging sect, the leader Huayun Sanren relies on his cultivation after merging bodies and a top-grade spiritual flying sword to become the number one expert in Nanhuaxing. He surpasses those leaders who are only in the Out-of-Body or Embryonic stages by a large margin. Therefore, although the Huayun Sect has never had any outstanding disciples, it has always been the number one sect in Nanhuaxing.

  "What are you talking about? The high-ranking cultivator of the Congregation period is with Master Lingbao?" Huayun Sanren's face changed, and a fierce aura emanated from his body, causing some of the disciples to turn pale. After all, the aura of a high-ranking cultivator in the Congregation period was too powerful for these ordinary Yuan Ying Jindan cultivators.

  "Did he do anything to the Lingbao Master and his disciples?" Huayun Sanren asked anxiously, his tense tone subtly stirring up some emotions among the disciples.

  "Head of the sect. Can't you first restrain your aura a bit? It's really hard for us to talk like this." Liufeng said with difficulty, opening his mouth.

  Hua Yun's face turned red upon hearing this. He restrained his own momentum, allowing everyone to let out a deep sigh of relief.

  "You're overthinking, Sect Master. That congenial period elder is very kind to both Lingbao Master and Losi Shizhi. They also have a great relationship with him." Liufeng seemed to intentionally sell an official case. The conversation stopped here. However, his junior brother, Yunyun, didn't seem to give him the opportunity to show off.

  "Ah, Ming Xin Zhen Ren. He's very good to people. He's a senior fellow disciple of Ling Bao Da Shi." Liu Yun said without hesitation. Originally, he still wanted to use this question to extort some money from the sect leader, but in front of so many people, he couldn't take action.

  "You idiot. Wait and see how I'll deal with you later." Liufeng thought to himself with a sinister intent.

  "Lingbao Master, is the gatekeeper of the Earth Master's Gate? Flow Cloud, go and strike the Cloud Bell." Huayun Sanren's expression turned exceptionally solemn upon hearing this. He instructed Flow Cloud to do so.

  Of course, for the extremely naive and innocent Flowing Cloud, the Soul Bell might not be much different from an ordinary bell, but it sounds completely different to these ordinary disciples.

  There is a very unorthodox rule in the Huayun Sect's door rules, which states that any disciple above the Golden Elixir stage must gather at the place where the Soul Bell rings within the time of one incense stick after hearing the bell ring, regardless of whether they are in closed-door meditation or cultivation.

  However, most of the disciples who saw this door rule didn't take it seriously. After all, this thing has been standing there since the sect was established and has never been

  Many people think it's just for show.

  "Big brother, you don't think this is the Soul Bell, do you?" A man and a woman who were meditating heard the bell ring and remembered it. The woman asked the man a question.

  "It's really the sound of the Soul Bell, hurry up and let's go, we must get there within the time it takes to burn an incense stick, otherwise we'll be punished by the sect rules." The man's voice was somewhat tense, and as soon as he finished speaking, he raised a flying sword of artifact level.

  "Senior brother, didn't we hear from our seniors when we first joined that this thing is just for show?" The woman had some doubts in her heart, but seeing her senior brother standing on the flying sword, she took out her own flying sword and stood on it.

  "Yes, that's what the seniors said when I first entered the sect. But at that time, they hadn't heard it either. Let's hurry up and leave, otherwise we'll be kicked out of the mountain because of this matter. It's not easy to join the Huayun Sect."

  Waiting is always the most painful thing, but today it's a very strange wait for the people of Huayun Sect. The time of one incense stick is not long or short, but just in this ordinary moment that no one would notice, the square in front of the main hall of Huayun Sect was crowded with disciples who were rushing back one after another. Suddenly, it's bustling and noisy.

  Fortunately, Huayun Sanren, dressed in Chinese attire, walked out of the grand hall, calming down the crowd that was in an uproar.

  "I don't know why Master has rung the soul-stirring bell to gather us this time." A disciple who had just come out of seclusion and was at a critical stage in his cultivation seemed to have become the representative of the crowd, and slowly walked out from among the people to ask.

  "Don't ask anything, line up according to your cultivation level and follow me to pay respects to a senior fellow. Remember to be polite and don't lose face for our Huayun Sect." The old man's face actually turned slightly red, it was unclear whether from shyness or excitement.

  "Ming Xin, what are you doing? Why did you tell the elders of the Huayun Sect about your affairs here?" Isn't this exposing your identity?" Lingbao was somewhat puzzled, after all, the disciples of Qixing Sect were now wanted in the cultivation world.

  "Lingbao, do you know why our Qingling Sect has ended up in such a state?" Sun Ming, disguised as the True Person of Clear Mind, suddenly asked, leaving Lingbao somewhat perplexed.

  "Isn't it because of the slander from those scoundrels in the Equipment Repair Alliance?" Lingbao replied with considerable confidence, as if this was indeed the truth.

  "Qī Xiū Lián Méng? Hē hē, Líng Bǎo ā, nǐ hái shì méi kàn míng bái ā." Míng Xīn Zhēn Rén huā le huā zi xiào zhe shuō dào.

  Translation:

  "Qixiu Alliance? Hehe, Lingbao, you still don't understand, do you?" Mingxin True Person stroked his beard and said with a smile.

  "What's wrong? Is there someone else besides the Qi Xiu Alliance that's causing trouble?" Lingbao's eyes suddenly became sharp.

  "Haha, no, no, it's just the Instrument Repair Union itself, but Lingbao, you still don't understand what I mean. What I mean is why would the Instrument Repair Union frame us?" Sun Ming felt a bit speechless in his heart, it seemed that this younger brother of his, although quite accomplished in other aspects, was still somewhat...

  "What do you want to ask, senior?" Lingbao was somewhat puzzled.

  "We were bound to have this day sooner or later, a big tree attracts wind. Alas, it's just unclear why even I can understand such a simple meaning, but those Supreme Elders are all confused. Is the term 'old fool' in the Mortal Realm also applicable in the Cultivation Realm?" Sun Ming sighed.

  "Lingbao, my intention is to cooperate with the Huayun Sect and use the classics in my hands to make the Huayun Sect grow into a major sect that can be compared with the top ten sects of the Xiuzhen Realm, a sect that can shelter us from the wind and rain for our development. Do you understand what I mean?" Sun Ming asked.

  "I understand what you mean, but senior, to cultivate Huayun Sect into a sect that can be compared with the top ten sects of Xiuzhen Realm, let's not talk about the classics and techniques required, even the spiritual energy needed for cultivation cannot be provided here. Look at the headquarters of other major sects, aren't they all earthly paradises with abundant spiritual energy? And the most concentrated place of spiritual energy on Nanhuaxing is probably similar to where our Qiling Sect's outer disciples stay. How can we cultivate the kind of masters you mentioned, and build a sect like that?" Lingbao expressed his doubts, after all, cultivating a sect comparable to the top ten Xiuzhen Realm sects on a fifth-grade cultivation planet was indeed a bit like a fool's dream.

  "Who says that a fifth-grade spiritual star cannot cultivate such a sect? Lingbao, don't you know what's the most powerful thing about our Qiling Sect besides alchemy?" Sun Ming asked.

  "Huh? What is it, senior?"
