All The Female Disciples Want To Kill Me-Chapter 108 - 106: Zi Jun, eager to cultivate and join the Sword Sect!_1
Hurried footsteps quickly approached, and then a burly man stopped in front of the thatched cottage. He gasped, "Master! Master! The eyes of the statue in the Wen Sheng Temple have lit up!"
"It seems someone has recited a legendary poem!"
"..."
The burly man then gazed blankly at the woman seated with dignity in the thatched cottage and paid his respects, saying, "Miss Zijun, I have the honor of meeting you!!"
The woman known as Zijun nodded at him, her face lit with a gentle smile.
The middle-aged man gently stroked his beard, looking toward the disciple who had entered, and nodded before speaking, "I have already sensed it, but I do not know if the person who wrote this timeless poem is from our South Wind Ancient Country!"
"Er Lu, go and find out!"
"Such talent, rare in a century, I plan to guide personally."
The burly man quickly nodded and turned to leave.
As the middle-aged man stroked his beard, looking at his obedient daughter kneeling on the ground, he pondered, "Zijun, you have also reached the age to practice cultivation."
"Of course, I will not impose on what you wish to cultivate, whether it be Confucian or Dao, both are acceptable!
"I will not interfere too much.
"However, since you were born, your body has possessed the Confucian Tri-Energy: Vast Energy, Spring and Autumn Air, and Sage Energy, so perhaps the Confucian Dao suits you a bit better..."
Li Zijun, quietly sitting on the grass couch absorbing Spiritual Energy, looked thoughtfully towards Er Lu as he left and then glanced at her father. A tender figure swiftly appeared in her mind!
Her beautiful lips moved slightly, yet her heart could not sever that persistent attachment.
A hint of complexity flashed in her eyes, then solidified into a trace of determination.
Li Zijun raised her head to look at her father, smiled gently, as soft as the morning sun, and said in a light voice, "Father, Zijun wishes to follow the Dao."
"I want to join the Sword Sect!"
Li Qiu: "?? "
...
Su Bei spoke until he was dry-mouthed. Seeing that the crowd below seemed to have no reaction, just staring at him blankly in shock, doubt began to rise in his heart. Strange? Could it be that my copying was poor? Or was I facing a group of illiterates? Even if no one was expressing their emotions as if enchanted, kneeling and kowtowing, there should at least be applause...
Just as Su Bei was plunged into self-doubt, a long sigh suddenly echoed from the heavens and earth, saying, "Truly worthy of Elder Su!"
"Admirable, truly admirable!"
This voice attracted everyone’s attention as it came through.
Then, an elderly man with a slightly stooped body walked forward, appearing abruptly before everyone. He smiled at Su Bei, and with a spark of fervor in his eyes, looked up at the golden light shining in the sky.
Once the old man appeared, people from the South Wind Ancient Country in the crowd immediately recognized his identity and exclaimed, "It’s Er You, one of the seventy-two immortals from the Confucian School!"
"Isn’t he a direct disciple of the Confucian Sage? He holds a high position within the Confucian School."
"He is evaluating Elder Su in such a manner?"
"..."
The hunched elder paid no heed to these bystanders, who sounded like they were providing a backdrop narrative, and slowly said, "This poem, its main idea introduces the Sword Sect.
"Elder Su, with an extremely romantic approach, has unfolded a rich imagination. He has artistically reenacted the Sect’s extraordinary, abrupt, mighty, rugged beauty, and its insurmountable grandeur!
"By praising the majestic scenery of the Sword Sect’s mountains and rivers, it shows the grandeur of the Sword Sect. This conveys the sentiment that those who dare to climb the Sword Sect, who dare to pursue the path of immortals, are all heroes and valiant characters..."
As the elder’s voice fell, everyone present began to understand.
Even Mo Zhan and Fang Yu felt stirred in their hearts.
So that was it!
Then their eyes, filled with admiration, watched Su Bei, who stood with his hands behind his back, radiating magnificent rays of light.
"Although I don’t know what happened, after that explanation, I instantly feel like the Sword Sect is so top-notch!"
"Yeah, yeah, these cultivation 985 Sects are none to be trifled with! Even the least amongst them is this awesome."
"I learned something, I learned something! So, is Elder Su holding this lecture just to promote the Sword Sect?"
"Most likely."
"..."
Seeing that things didn’t seem to be going as he had anticipated, Su Bei felt a little bummed out. He had thought that after his incredibly high-impact entrance, these people would be crying tears of joy and clamoring to join the Sword Sect. On second thought, I’m now in Dongfeng Ancient Country, a place with a martial culture. My methods probably couldn’t stir up much excitement here. Should I go for the most direct, most brutal method of... promotion?
Su Bei cleared his throat, his gaze brimming with admiration for the stooped old man before him. Then, changing his previous approach, he waved his hand grandly and shouted to the crowd below, "This old gentleman is right!
"Indeed, it’s about cultivation! Cultivation!
"But what is cultivation? How do you cultivate? How do you find the cultivation method that suits you?
"Today, I, Su, will tell everyone how to cultivate and how to find your own way of cultivation!"
...
Upon hearing Su Bei’s words, everyone’s eyes widened as they stared at Su Bei, each one breathing heavily, faces flushed red, their fists clenched tightly.
Elder Su was finally going to talk about the real stuff!
This was the juicy content!
Over the years, other immortals from various sects had lectured here, but most of them spoke in vague and esoteric terms and then left as quickly as they came.
But now, Elder Su was so straightforwardly and bluntly telling everyone ’how to cultivate,’ which was unprecedented!
One by one, they were overcome with excitement, wishing they could etch Su Bei’s forthcoming words directly into their brains.
Seeing that he had successfully whipped up everyone’s emotions, Su Bei’s voice deepened as he proclaimed, "The so-called cultivation, first and foremost, is about presence!
"The more grievous immortals you repair, the greater your presence becomes!
"Many disciples have betrayed the Sword Sect, SMACK! A million handed out just like that! For those who betray the Sword Sect, they all get a million. So, those who remain loyal to the Sword Sect, they will be getting hundreds of millions!
"Applause if you understand!!"
Mo Xiaoqiang, looking at Su Bei with starry eyes from below, felt a fiery passion that he could barely contain in his chest upon hearing Su Bei’s speech.
He suddenly stood up, and for some reason, his hands started clapping rhythmically of their own accord!
As the phrase ’Applause if you understand!!’ rang out, the audience members felt as though their hearts had been pierced in an instant, chewing over Su Bei’s words. It was as if a switch had been flipped inside them. Their hands uncontrollably began clapping in rhythm, as if injected with an adrenaline boost, and joined in the rhythmic clapping!
Then, the sound of CLAP, CLAP, CLAP— echoed throughout the City Master Mansion.
"Cultivation is like being a fool, who accidentally becomes freaking awesome, and then starts the process of acting awesome!
"Applause if you understand!"
—CLAP, CLAP, CLAP.
"Applause!"
—CLAP, CLAP, CLAP.
One by one, the crowd looked at Su Bei with crazed eyes, raising their hands high and following the great Elder Su. Releasing their emotions, they roared, "Where should we go to cultivate?"
"To the Sword Sect!!"
"Why go to the Sword Sect to cultivate?"
"Because it’s powerful!!"
"....."
The muscular man and the old man exchanged looks, both revealing shock on their faces, then their figures gradually disappeared from sight.
Several disciples from the Dao Sect and other sects, who had been secretly observing the scene, sensed something was amiss. They hadn’t expected Elder Su from the Sword Sect to have such a strong influence!? Was he about to completely undo the results of over half a month of their own sects’ promotion efforts in Mo City? This man truly defied all expectations, living up to his reputation!!
After exchanging glances, they could see a hint of shock in each other’s eyes as they hurriedly left the area.
