Chapter 36 (Part 2)

Fortunately, the senior brothers also knew that Qingyang was saving spirit stones for his little disciple, so none of them truly made him give a discount. Instead, they took away the remaining half of the spiritual fruits and spiritual flowers at a price higher than market value.

In the blink of an eye, Qingyang had earned a large sum of spirit stones for his disciple. He even required his senior brothers to settle the payment in supreme-grade spirit stones.

Although their hearts ached a little, the senior brothers still took out supreme-grade spirit stones for him.

Fortunately, all of these things were being given to Little Martial Nephew. Otherwise, their hearts would ache so much they would be unable to sleep at night.

Qingyang glared. You still want to sleep? Sleep what sleep? Get up and cultivate.

The senior brothers rolled their eyes at this junior brother and did not want to bother with him. Do you understand what a figure of speech is?

This time, they were even more diligent in picking the spiritual fruits and spiritual flowers. Now they were not picking for Little Martial Nephew, but for themselves and the sect.

Once the reason changed, even their work attitude became much more enthusiastic.

Qingyang watched their busy figures and curled his lip. Just now, each and every one of them wanted to slack off. Now that the things had been sold to them, each one was more hardworking than the next.

And so the person slacking off became Qingyang. He picked for a while, then sat down and rested for half an hour.

In the end, the others picked the entire peach grove clean, aside from the area around Yu Yu, while his basket was not even half full.

As for his senior brothers’ eye rolls, he saw them and was completely unafraid.

“Little Junior Brother.”

The senior brothers pointed at Qingyang and were unable to speak.

Could they really not throw this junior brother away? Whoever wanted this lousy junior brother could take him! They would give him away for free.

“Hmph. Senior Brother, here.”

Lingji walked up to Qingsheng and filled the basket in front of him.

“Remember to send a female disciple to deliver it to Jade Maiden Peak. If that unlucky disciple Lingfeng had come back by now, I would have made her send it.”

Qingyang knew his little disciple was kind. Since everyone had peaches and crystal flowers, it would not be proper not to give any to Jade Maiden Peak.

Qingyu’s relationship with them was still extremely close. They could not leave her out, could they?

“I know.”

Qingsheng reached out and patted his little junior brother’s head. So there was a reason they doted on Qingyang.

Qingyang might be unruly and troublesome, but when it came to real matters, he was still very reliable. He remembered the kindness of his senior brothers and senior sisters, and whenever there were benefits, he had never left them out.

“Don’t pat me. My little disciple said that heads may fall, blood may flow, but the hairstyle must not be ruined.”

Qingyang tilted his head away from his eldest senior brother’s demonic claw. He had dressed up very seriously today. It would not be good if his eldest senior brother messed up his hairstyle.

“Heh. So I can’t touch you now, is that it?”

Qingsheng glared and insisted on reaching out to rub him.

“…Fine.”

Seeing his eldest senior brother get angry, Qingyang aggrievedly stretched his head over. As soon as his eldest senior brother left, he would go back to the hall and comb his hair again.

Smack.

Qingsheng did not rub his hair. Instead, he slapped him lightly on the forehead.

“You.”

He sighed. This disciple had already taken in five disciples of his own, so why was he still full of childishness?

“Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother.”

Qingyang smiled. See? He had said his eldest senior brother doted on him the most. How could he possibly ruin his image?

After the laughter and joking ended, Qingsheng and the others watched Little Martial Nephew, who was still in enlightenment, for a while longer before carrying the peaches and spiritual flowers away with full loads.

“Master.”

Lingji and the others came over. Just now, Master and the martial uncles had been playing around, and as juniors, it had not been convenient for them to be present, so they had hidden on the other side.

As for the menial disciples, they had long since hidden back in their residences the moment the big shots descended, not daring to come out.

Shivering. The sight of the big shots leaping up and down was not something they were allowed to see.

“Leave some for Lingfeng. Remember, these aren’t for you to eat. They’re for you to use later as favors.”

Qingyang looked at the baskets in his disciples’ hands. There were peaches and flowers, and the quantity was not small.

“Yes. Thank you, Master, and thank you, Little Junior Brother too.”

Lingji and the others said happily.

Although they were sword cultivators, they did have a few fellow disciples and friends with whom they had good relationships.

In the past, every time there was a happy occasion, they had to temporarily look for something to use as a gift.

Ever since they had Little Junior Brother, their hands had never lacked spiritual fruits, spiritual flowers, or crystal flower honey. Even their spirit stones were more abundant than in previous years.

In past years, whenever they had some spirit stones on hand, they would use them for cultivation. This year, they still had some left in their storage rings, all of it pocket money Little Junior Brother had given them.

Speaking of it, they were rather ashamed. They were the senior brothers. Aside from the thick-skinned Lingfeng, who did not take it to heart, everyone was very embarrassed.

They were already so grown, yet they actually took pocket money from Little Junior Brother. If word got out, they would be laughed at.

“Senior Brothers, there’s no need to feel guilty. You prepared so many resources for me, so as your junior brother, I naturally have to repay one or two things.”

Although the peach tree and crystal flowers wrapped around Yu Yu had not yet scattered, his voice sounded beside everyone’s ears.

“Little Junior Brother, you’re awake?”

Linglong ran over to the peach tree, only to discover that the peach tree and crystal flowers protecting their little junior brother showed no sign of dispersing.

“No. I only sensed that Senior Brothers’ emotions were off, so I temporarily woke up, that’s all. I’m going to continue comprehending. I’ve troubled Master and Senior Brothers.”

His voice vanished in the peach grove. Everyone waited a while and discovered that Yu Yu had indeed gone back into enlightenment.

“Can enlightenment be paused?”

Lingji was dumbfounded and looked at his master with a questioning gaze.

Qingyang had also been startled just now by his little disciple suddenly speaking while in the middle of enlightenment. In the end, he swept over him with his primordial spirit and discovered that his little disciple was still in enlightenment.

He was also a little at a loss now. What situation was this?

Seeing that his disciples were all looking at him, hoping he would give an explanation, he said, “Don’t look at your master. Your master doesn’t understand either.”

Qingyang directly spread his hands. This was also his first time encountering such a situation.

“But hasn’t Master also had enlightenment before? Eldest Senior Brother too.”

Lingzhen suddenly remembered that their Eldest Senior Brother was also one of the geniuses in their family.

As for enlightenment, he had naturally had the same experience before.

“Clearly, our enlightenment is still different from Little Junior Brother’s. Our enlightenment didn’t have a pause step.”

Lingji divided the remaining peaches and spiritual flowers into five portions. Aside from Little Junior Brother, there was also a portion for their master.

“I don’t need it. Divide it among yourselves!”

Qingyang was still very generous with his disciples. He himself did not lack things. If he had none, he would go rob evil cultivators and enemies.

It could be said that the reason Qingyang’s little private treasury was so abundant was entirely because of this.

The people he robbed wept while holding their empty storage spaces. Especially the evil cultivators. Not only did they lose their treasures, they also lost their lives.

“Thank you, Master.”

The disciples cheerfully thanked Qingyang.

As for Little Junior Brother, in the future, whenever they encountered good things, they would bring them back for Little Junior Brother. They absolutely would not let Little Junior Brother take a loss.

As for the resources they had given before, although it looked like quite a lot, compared with what Little Junior Brother gave them, it was not worth mentioning.

In the end, it was still because they did not know how to save up a family fortune. In the future, they absolutely could not spend however much they had. They had to save more for Little Junior Brother.

They had also discovered that Little Junior Brother’s need for resources was ten times everyone else’s. So from this moment on, the Holy Sun lineage all became iron roosters, only allowing things in and never out.

Especially Lingji. Among all the senior and junior brothers, he was the one who doted on Yu Yu the most. Moreover, his strength was also the highest, so he decided to go take a look in a few secret realms that only Soul Transformation cultivators could enter. He remembered that those secret realms produced quite a few water-wood attribute and attribute-less resources.

Qingyang did not interfere much with his disciples’ plans. They were all big children now. They had to learn to walk on their own. He would ascend sooner or later. The future of Holy Sun depended on their own abilities.

Yu Yu still had not woken, and no one left. Instead, they sat not far from the peach tree and protected him.

What no one had expected was that Yu Yu’s enlightenment would last directly for ten days. During these ten days, even Lingfeng returned from Jade Maiden Peak.

“Little Junior Brother has been in enlightenment for so long. Senior Brothers went out and didn’t even take me with them.”

Lingfeng lay bored on the swing. Her strength was the lowest, so she had been required to guard Little Junior Brother every day with Master, while the others had gone out to find resources.

With Lingji leading the team, Qingyang was not at all worried about the other two disciples.

Something like last time, when they had been trapped in a small secret realm without knowing anything, naturally would not happen again with Lingji there.

Lingji was not like his junior brothers and junior sister. His vigilance was extremely high, and his strength was also powerful. Although he could not defeat a Tribulation stage cultivator, he could persist for a while in battle against a Daoist Lord of the Tribulation stage stage. Along with Qingyang’s sword talisman, there was enough time for them to send out a distress message and wait for rescue.

“You had better not go over and disturb Little Yu, or your master will get angry.”

Qingyang sat by the stone table, drinking tea while warning his female disciple. When this fellow’s head got hot, she liked to throw caution to the wind. If things went badly, she might really disturb his little disciple’s enlightenment.

“Master, even if I’m unreliable, I still know that enlightenment can’t be disturbed, all right?”

Lingfeng was extremely dissatisfied. Was she that awful?

If she dared disturb Little Junior Brother’s enlightenment, forget Master not letting her off. Did they believe Eldest Senior Brother would tear her apart alive when he came back?

“As long as you know. Your master is just afraid that once water enters your brain, you’ll forget.”

Qingyang turned a blind eye to her resentment. In any case, this little girl could not beat him. If she became too annoying, he would simply throw her down the mountain.

“Master, if you keep doing this, you’re going to lose me.”

Lingfeng said angrily.

“You’re not your little junior brother. If I lose you, then I lose you!”

Qingyang indicated that one fewer disciple meant one fewer thing to worry about.

“…”

Lingfeng was so angry that strands of her hair began flashing with lightning. This master was no longer worth keeping.

“Little Senior Sister, don’t be angry.”

Yu Yu’s voice sounded in time, stopping her from continuing to spark with thunder and lightning. She could not beat Master anyway. In the end, the only person that bit of little lightning would shock was herself.

“No, Master, believe me, I didn’t disturb Little Junior Brother’s enlightenment.”

When Lingfeng heard her little junior brother’s voice, her face immediately turned pale with fright. The lightning flashing in her hair was also withdrawn. She thought she had disturbed Yu Yu’s enlightenment.

“Hmph. Don’t worry, it wasn’t you. If it were you, your master would not show mercy.”

Qingyang looked at this female disciple irritably. What on earth was this fellow thinking? Maybe her brain really had taken on water, which was why she kept doing stupid things.

His disgusted expression was far too obvious, making Lingfeng angry and annoyed.

The peach tree and crystal flowers scattered, and Yu Yu sat among the peach tree and crystal flowers, smiling as he looked at her.

“You reached Foundation Establishment.”

Qingyang saw Yu Yu’s true cultivation realm at a glance. The satisfied smile on his face was not concealed in the slightest. This disciple had brought him so much face.

He had successfully reached Foundation Establishment after just over three years. Who else could do that? This time, the cultivation world’s Foundation Establishment record had truly been rewritten successfully.

“Mm. I have not let down Master’s teachings. This disciple has successfully reached Foundation Establishment. Also, Master, don’t deliberately scare Senior Sister.”

Yu Yu nodded while standing up. At the same time, he spoke helplessly to his master.

Senior Sister’s face had already turned deathly pale. If Master kept frightening her, she might go into shock.
