Vol 2 Chapter 27: Cuiwei Lake

(It will be officially launched at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. I hope you guys will come to support you. The first order exceeds two thousand, and four more bursts!)
The two girls rode up on geese, and Chen Xun walked to the other giant red-beaked geese and wanted to ride on it.
Never thought that this giant red-beaked goose turned his head and pecked at him, and its momentum was definitely no less than a full blow from the peak of the True Sun Realm.
Chen Xun was taken aback. He didn't expect this giant red-beaked goose to have such a violent temper. He wondered if he would find a chance to pluck and roast this evil goose in the future, and Chang Xi would trouble him.
"Zier is a girl, and he hasn't been ridden by any stinky man. Brother, will you follow us hard, right?" The girl with the jade hairpin stuck in her head started to laugh when she saw this scene.
Chen Xun couldn't wait to pull off the feathers of the giant red-beaked goose. In his heart, you are a flat-haired beast, and you are afraid that people will not be rude? However, within the Shenxiaozong Mountain Gate, the status of the outer disciple may not be comparable to that of a flat-haired beast. Chen Xun had no choice but to follow the two crane-riding girls in stride towards Cuiwei Lake.
The Shenxiao Sect has a vast area of ​​thousands of miles, during which there are hundreds of peaks, cliffs and valleys, and the spiritual veins that traverse the Shenxiao Mountain System are mainly divided into seven branches, and the Shenxiao Sect also has seven veins such as Guyang, Tianxing, and Zixiaofeng. inherited.
The peaks are three to five hundred miles apart from each other. The clouds are deep and foggy in the middle, the forests are dense and the trees are dense, the strange peaks are innumerable, and there are countless spiritual fields and medicinal valleys. In the meantime, countless spirits, birds and animals are born and raised at ease. The scene of the garden.
Chen Xun followed the two girls riding geese and stopped in front of a beautiful peak.
The peaks are tall and steep, and the tops of the mountains are hidden deep in the clouds and mist. There are scattered and neatly built yards in the deep valley at the foot of the southern foothills.
A waterfall fell from the depths of the clouds and mist, and in the deep valley to the left of the building complex, there was a deep pool that was not bottomless and wide.
Chen Xun and the others were standing in the deep pool and flying, and there was water mist spilling from the waterfall, shrouded in the pool, intuitionally, every drop of water revealed this spirit.
Looking at this situation, Chen Xun thought to himself, is it possible that there is a spiritual spring on the top of the mountain, and the waterfall brings the spiritual energy down the mountain, and the mist fills the valley with the water?
And among the clouds and fog, there are more than a hundred giant spirit birds such as wild geese and cranes, circling and playing without fear of humans.
"Two elder sisters, this is Cuiwei Lake?" Chen Xun pointed to the vast deep pool in front of him. Seeing wisps of aura from the water, he asked the two girls riding geese.
"He really doesn't understand anything, and doesn't know what Senior Sister Chang Xi is doing to bring him over?" The girl with the jade hairpin on her head pursed her red lips and smiled with the round-faced girl.
"Cuiwei Peak is the lingering vein of Guyang Peak. There is a spring of spiritual spring that gushes from the ground to the top of the peak. The small lake formed on the top of the mountain is the Cuiwei Ling Lake. This water pool is the drinking fountain for the spirit birds," the round-faced girl said. Some, pointing to the yard in front of the lake, said, "According to the truth, Cuiwei Lake only recruits female disciples, and even some talented, dignified and respectful male disciples must practice in the outer sect for three years to confirm their integrity. You can only come in later. Although I don’t know how the elder sister asked you to live in directly, we have mostly girls here. It will be inconvenient for everyone to live in. Be careful not to violate the rules here."
"I owe a lot of money to Senior Sister Chang, she is probably afraid that I will sneak away." Chen Xun said, and smiled at the round-faced girl with an audacious face.
"No?" The girl wearing a jade hairpin looked at Chen Xun in disbelief, "It seems that you have to owe Sister Chang Xi a lot of money. A senior from Tian Xingfeng wants to rely on Sister Chang Xi for a magic weapon , The result was that Senior Sister Chang Xi was tied to Luo Lei Valley and almost killed by Luo Lei, and eventually had to move to Cuiwei Lake to help us raise the crane and pay off the debt..."
Chen Xun didn't expect that Chang Xi would have such bad deeds in the Shenxiao Sect. His back was cold, and his face was bitter: "I owe Senior Sister Chang Xi a lot, too much to die."
"My name is Yu Wenying and my sister is Yu Wenyuan, both of whom are deacon disciples of Cuiwei Lake. If you have any questions, you can come and find me..."

Standing in the courtyard, Yu Wenying and Sister Yu Wenyuan called out a middle-aged monk named Lei Wanhe.
Throwing Chen Xun to this person, without even saying a word, they patted their and left and flew to the top of Cuiwei Peak.
With a loyal and sophisticated appearance, Lei Wanhe knew at first glance that he was the kind of outer disciple who was oppressed at the bottom in Cuiwei Lake. When Chen Xun came over, Zhang Luo, who was rather enthusiastic, took him into the courtyard.
Although there are twenty or thirty people entering the yard in the deep valley, not many disciples live in it. Most of the yards are in the air. Chen Xun can choose at will. Chen Xun chose a room that opened the window to see the Feitan in the deep pool. Stay in the yard.
Soon after, Lei Wanhe sent him the disciple's vestments, identity cards and other things.
From Lei Wanhe, Chen Xun learned about the general situation of Gu Yangfeng.
At this time, Gu Yangfeng had only four true disciples, including Xia Xiangyi and Chang Xi, all of whom had the qualifications to choose Lingshan and Linggu to open up a cave.
The disciples of the Inner Sect of Delu can choose the close true disciple to live with according to the relationship with the true disciple; or they can live together in the disciple's other courtyard under Guyang Peak.
After entering the Shenxiao Sect, the outer disciples will usually grind the foundation for two to three years in the outer door according to the foundation of their practice, but they are assigned to the Gu Yangfeng channels to continue their practice.
Of course, with the exception of a few disciples who hope to advance to the Tianyuan realm, Delu Inner Sect, most of the Outer Sect disciples, regardless of whether they break through the Profound Aperture or not, will gradually leave the Shenxiao Sect and return to the ordinary world.
Shenxiaozong masters are like clouds, even if they break through the Profound Aperture and advance to the Outer Sect disciple, if they don't have the hope of advancing to the Heavenly Origin Realm, they won't receive much attention in the Sect.
However, there is only one Shenxiao Sect in the Northwest Territories. After leaving the Shenxiao Sect, the cultivators of the Returning Realm are still standing above all living beings in the prefectures.
Whether it is the pinnacle of the True Sun Realm or the outer disciple who has broken through the Profound Aperture, as long as there is no hope of entering the inner door, very few people will stay in the Shenxiao Sect for a lifetime.
Either returning to the family, joining other sects, or entering the county government office, the privileges and status that can be obtained, even if only the monks at the peak of the True Sun state return to the world, it is definitely far better than staying in the Shenxiaozong mountain gate. An outside disciple.
No matter how bad it is, you can also serve as a deacon in the outer halls of the Shenxiao Sect located in the counties. It is better than being in the mountain gate, being used as a cow or horse by Zhenzhu, inner disciples and elders of the courts.
Therefore, although there are tens of thousands of Shenxiao Outer Sect disciples who stay in the mountain gate, there are only two to three thousand people who can return to the womb realm, which is about ten times the size of Qianjianzong.
Ziwei Lake is the practice cave of the true disciple Chang Xi.
Except for Chang Xi and Gu Yangfeng’s ten female inner disciples, forty or fifty outer disciples, including Chen Xun and Lei Wanhe, lived in the two courtyards at the foot of the mountain. The number and scale were far less than the others. The cave house created by the true disciple.
And the reason why Ziwei Lake let these male disciples of the outer sect come in is that Ziwei Lake undertakes the task of raising geese and cranes. Some dirty and tiring work really requires some male brothers to come and help with the hard work.
In Shenxiaozong and Guyangfeng, the outer disciples are the lowest level of existence. Regardless of their backgrounds, they have to undertake some chores, and the sect will also distribute some necessary living and cultivation resources accordingly.
However, most of the outer disciples, who were born of noble relatives, had to enter the Shenxiao Sect to practice, and they all had high hopes from the clan, and there was no need to worry about the lack of cultivation resources.
After the outer disciples get started, they will receive a few basic Taoist and Profound tactics from each Feng Chuan Gong Academy.
Outer disciples do not have a fixed master, and they can go to the Chuangong Academy every month to listen to the elders of Chuangong teaching on cultivation, alchemy, refining tools and formations; due to the large number of outside disciples in the peaks, the elders do not care. Questions and answers.
Only after entering the inner sect, the elders of Zhufeng’s Gonggong will directly guide his practice. There are only more than a hundred disciples of Gu Yangfeng’s inner sect; and only true disciples such as Chang Xi can truly be regarded as the direct descendants of the suzerain Gu Yang. disciple.
If you have familiar disciples of the inner sect and true teachings, you can also come to ask for advice. The Dao Fa conferences held between the outer sect disciples are the best opportunity to confirm and exchange what they have learned.
Chen Xun stayed there for a few days, and after getting acquainted with Lei Wanhe, he realized that he was the disciple of Tianxingfeng mentioned by sisters Yu Wenying and Yu Wenyuan.
Lei Wanhe was less than 50 years old at this time, and he was already at the pinnacle of the reproductive stage. He refined his nine spiritual veins and hoped to advance to Tianyuan. However, because he offended Chang Xi, he was forced to sign a contract to sell his body and go to Cuiwei Lake. It will take twenty years of hard labor to raise cranes to pay off the debt and return to Tianxing Peak to practice.
Most of the male outer disciples living at the foot of the mountain have similar experiences. Chen Xun thinks about Chang Xi’s perverse temper. It’s not surprising at all, but he doesn’t know how long he will live in front of Cuiweitan in order to refine. Only by making ten pieces of Juling Mountain and River Array, can we be clear with Chang Xi.

When the evil spirits of the Thousand Demon Realm leaked into Tushan, the great figures of the Shenxiaozong took care of them, and Chen Xun settled down in Cuiweifeng calmly.
It is impossible for Chang Xi to be in a hurry to ask him to refine the Juling Mountain and River Array now, and the disciples who are practicing in Cuiwei Lake, apart from the chores such as raising the souls, spend more time in the yard with closed doors and closed rooms for cultivating without anyone. Knowing the identity of Chen Xun, no one particularly cared.
When I had time to meet other outer disciples and chat for a few words, Chen Xun only said that he was a casual cultivator from Canglan, and no one would ask questions without knowing it.
Cuiwei Lake/Peak itself has a spiritual vein branching out of the main vein of Guyang Peak. After the spiritual energy penetrates into the spiritual spring, it falls with the waterfall and is scattered into the clouds. Chen Xun and the valley where they live, the spiritual energy is also Very abundant.
Chen Xun didn't need to sacrifice the Spirit Gathering Element Formation to have sufficient spiritual energy for cultivation.
This is probably why some outside disciples are willing to be enslaved.
As for Cuiwei Peak, in addition to hundreds of wild birds, geese, cranes and spirit birds that multiply and live on the hanging walls between the deep pool and the waterfall, there are also many medicine mountains and valleys at the south and east foot of Cuiwei Peak, which are covered with dandelion grass. Other elixir that strengthens bones, nourishes yang, replenishes qi and nourishes the vitality, are mostly used to feed spirit birds.
Hundreds of spirit birds are mainly red-beaked giant geese, with nearly two hundred heads.
The most majestic giant goose, with golden feathers on its wings and roaring like a phoenix, is said to have two thousand years of life, and a green peng, which is one of the few birds in the Cuiwei Lake flock. Linghui is a spirit beast that Gu Yang has been with for many years. Even Chang Xi, who is willful and reckless, dare not disrespect these two immortal birds.
And the Wulin Cunning, who had fallen outside with Chang Xi, was captured with Chang Xi and returned to the mountain gate. It is said that Gu Yang had been locked under the water in the deep pool and would not be released until ten years in captivity.
Said it was a drudgery, Chen Xun and other outer disciples living at the foot of the mountain only need to take care of the spirit grass in the medicine valley to absorb the aura nutrients and grow, and make sure that no one comes in to poach the spirit birds. It does not cost much With all the energy, everyone's life is pretty leisurely.
And when Chen Xun first arrived, Lei Wanhe made him familiar with the environment, and he didn't have any errands for him. Chen Xun stayed in the house all day to practice. Z
