My Cultivation Starting from Archery Chapter 1029 - 324: Lord Taishan

In the clearing of the forest, there is a fenced courtyard, inside which are a few tattered and shabby houses, so with door fras hanging loose, creaking in the wind, others covered with dust and cobwebs, making this spiritually barren area appear desolate and run-down. Only a small flower bed in the corner is neatly tended.

"This guy..."

Master Yu Ling’s Divine Sense swept past, revealing a look of disgust on her face: "Did he go to Xiao Xiang Sect again?!"

She displayed her fair wrist, and a horsetail whisk appeared in her hand. With a gentle wave, a Lotus Platform appeared before her.

Chen Sansi, at her indication, stepped onto the Lotus Platform, and then abruptly flew into the sky, disappearing from sight.

During this process, he once again disguised himself, taking on an unremarkable appearance, then settled down to admire Huayang Dao’s scenery.

Chen Sansi, having traveled all the way here, naturally did more than just traveling; he learned specifically about the Huayang Dao area.

Huayang Dao is several tis larger than Beiyang Dao, with more than one Golden Core Sect. As for the "Xiangxiao Sect" ntioned by his teacher, it is one of them, yet this sect is special; it is an "open" Dual Cultivation sect.

It can be understood as a "Yihong Courtyard," but it is indeed a sect, with Golden Core Cultivators stationed there as well.

In the Heavenly Water Immortal Cultivation World, there is a clear division between right and demon regarding "Dual Cultivation."

For instance, the previous Beiyang Dao, which specialized in capturing people as Furnace Tripods and refining them to death, was undoubtedly considered the Demon Path.

But this kind of voluntary Dual Cultivation, which is mutually beneficial, is not considered the Demon Path and is allowed to exist.

Yet...

Wasn’t the teacher looking for soone to teach him Martial Arts, why did she end up here?

As if seeing through his thoughts, Master Yu Ling said faintly: "The person I want you to et is an old friend of your master. If you know sothing about Huayang Dao, you may have heard of Lord Taishan’s na."

"Lord Taishan."

Chen Sansi recalled in his mind.

According to the "Tianshui List of Immortals," more than a hundred years ago, there was an extrely talented cultivator from Tianshui Huayang. Due to his rapid cultivation speed and unparalleled talents in all aspects, like a magnificent ancient Immortal Mountain that left people in awe, he earned the nickna "Lord Taishan."

Lord Taishan’s real na was Mu Chutai; he only began cultivating at 19 and practiced Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation, succeeded in Foundation Establishnt at 26, ford his Golden Core at 47, reached Nascent Soul at 100, and by 180 was in the Late-stage Nascent Soul, making him the most terrifying genius in the entire Heavenly Water realm over thousands of years, making it a certainty he would beco a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, with ascending to the Upper Realm just around the corner.

But...

A few decades ago, it was rumored that "Lord Taishan" beca arrogant and committed a transgression intolerable to the Holy Sect, prompting Divinity Transformation Cultivators to act and completely suppress him, becoming a classic tale of a prodigy eting an early end.

Once high above, his sudden downfall inevitably attracted much Schadenfreude.

But besides that, it seed that Lord Taishan’s reputation wasn’t very good in the first place; he was even referred to as "Gui Mountain Lord."

The reason lay in past events.

The book’s account is sowhat vague, roughly stating that Lord Taishan and the Holy Sect’s Holy Daughter made a lifelong promise that affected the Holy Daughter’s path to longevity and the sect’s Daoist Inheritance, provoking a furious response from the Holy Sect, who wanted to execute both of them.

In the end, at the critical mont, Lord Taishan betrayed the Holy Daughter who abandoned longevity for him, just to save his own life, even kneeling at the Holy Sect’s gate for eighty-one days, the pounding of his head shattering the Mountain Suppressing Stone, creating a massive pit that today is a lake, nad "Taishan Lake."

Considering his sincere attitude and with others pleading on his behalf, the Holy Sect only deprived him of his root bone and Mana, sparing his life.

After losing all his cultivation, in order to live a few more years, he even resorted to selling his sect’s Daoist Inheritance for life-extending treasures, leading to his expulsion from the sect.

Since then, his life was spared, but his reputation was ruined, becoming a street rat everyone wanted to hit, yet with so friendship with the Supre Elder of Qingxu Sect back then, he was allowed to reside there.

Looking at it now...

It’s that ruined yard at the foot of the mountain.

His master even knew such a person.

Master Yu Ling said: "Although this person is a scoundrel, I have to admit his talent and comprehension were excellent, with the broadest knowledge of various Cultivation Techniques. The Dragon Scripture you ntioned earlier, probably only he in the Immortal Path-centric Qingxu Sect still rembers its intricacies.

"However, if you see him later, you’d best hide your identity to avoid unnecessary trouble, understand?"

Chen Sansi earnestly replied: "Disciple understands."

He recalled that his teacher had ntioned earlier that Cao Xie had already visited Qingxu Sect, implying that he had fled from the Bai Family to the Great Han, with links to Qingxu Sect, hence his visit to check things out.

That remnant of the Cao Family truly deserved to die.

After traversing several mountains and rivers, Master Yu Ling and Chen Sansi slowly descended before a sect of grand and splendid architecture.

The sect guards were two attractive female cultivators.

Seeing a Golden Core Cultivator arriving, they imdiately bowed respectfully.

Master Yu Ling directly asked: "Did Mu Chutai co today?"

"Lord, Lord Taishan?"

The two female guards, upon hearing this na, even blushed slightly: "Lord Taishan has been at Immortal Jing Shu’s recently."

Master Yu Ling stepped across the sect’s gate but slled an overwhelming scent of won’s fragrance, with sights of charming birds and flowers everywhere, showing evident disdain, hence stepped back outside the gate, instructing: "I am Yu Ling from Qingxu Sect, you go call Mu Chutai now."

The two female cultivators, even more respectful, imdiately obeyed.

Every so often in front of Xiao Xiang Sect, dazed male cultivators would erge, so unable to even maintain balance while using Sword Control, seeming ready to fall into the ground yet with blissful smiles, apparently not fully recovered from their enchantnt.

It seems...

The rumor of being a street rat might not be accurate either, at least it appears this Lord Taishan is quite popular among the ladies.

Since the mont the other party appeared, Chen Sansi could feel his master’s aversion, the mont the other appeared.

It seems that if not for him, the master wouldn’t want anything to do with him.

And it was none other than Lord Taishan, Mu Chutai, who arrived, casually dressed with a worn-out wine gourd hanging from his waist. Just taking into account his appearance, it’s hard to associate him with the term "slovenly," yet the stubble on his chin added a dash of heroism and authority as if he were a carefree Jianghu knight, a bit tipsy while carrying the wine gourd, giving a sense of free and easy style.

The person who approached was none other than Lord Taishan, Mu Chutai.

He approached, swinging the wine gourd in his hand and speaking tipsily: "Yu Ling, it’s been decades since we spoke, suddenly seeking your brother is indeed a rare thing!"

"Mu Chutai has been at Immortal Jing Shu’s place these days," said one female cultivator.

Upon his arrival, Chen Sansi felt the disdain and aversion emanating from Master Yu Ling.

It seems that if not for him, she would prefer not to engage with him.
