Chapter 144 The Untamed: Ning Miaomiao 6
The Qingyun Sect settled down and began recruiting disciples every three years.
As the senior disciple, Wei Wuxian naturally led his junior brothers and sisters in cultivation. Ning Miaomiao selected different cultivation manuals based on their aptitudes and spiritual roots, and combined them with the unique spiritual energy of the Qingyun Sect, so all the disciples were able to enter the sect.
Wei Wuxian was unreliable, so Ning Miaomiao had Gu Changfeng supervise the disciples.
Ning Miaomiao, however, did not neglect her cultivation. She often went out to exorcise evil spirits and expand the reputation of Qingyunzhi.
She even went to the Wen Clan in Qishan alone to find Wen Ruohan. She fought Wen Ruohan for about a hundred rounds and escaped unscathed, which made the Qingyun Sect even more famous.
However, Ning Miaomiao concealed her face and only left the name of Qingyun Sect, so no one knew that she was Ning Miaomiao.
The Wen clan of Qishan is powerful, with thousands of disciples. The Qingyun Sect only has a dozen or so people, who have just entered the cultivation stage. How could they possibly defeat them?
The only way to create the impression that the Qingyun Sect has a powerful backer and a figure comparable to Wen Ruohan, thus making the five major sects wary.
The mass grave in Yiling has been restored to Yiling Immortal Mountain. Every day, many small sects and factions come to Qingyun Sect to check on it, intending to seize Yiling.
But they couldn't even break the formation outside Yiling. The once-every-three-years recruitment of disciples was their opportunity.
A month ago, they tried to attack, but were severely punished by Ning Miaomiao and Wei Wuxian.
"Hmph! Let's see if they come back!" Wei Wuxian said disdainfully.
Wei Wuxian cultivated his golden core three years ago at the age of thirteen. He often went night hunting with Ning Miaomiao, which made Wei Wuxian famous. He and Ning Miaomiao were known as the "Black and White Duo".
"Alright, they're just some minor sects. They're going on a night hunt in a few days. Are you all prepared?" Ning Miaomiao asked worriedly.
This time, Wei Wuxian went night hunting alone. Usually, Ning Miaomiao would take him with her. Two years have passed, and Ning Miaomiao is determined to train Wei Wuxian.
"Sister, put it down. Who am I? I am a member of the Qingyun Sect. I will never bring shame to the Qingyun Sect." Wei Wuxian patted his chest and made a loud promise.
Ning Miaomiao didn't say anything, but took out a celestial sword from her spatial ring and tossed it to Wei Wuxian.
Wei Wuxian caught the immortal sword and drew it out with a swift motion. The sword was as thin as flowing clouds, and a gentle breeze seemed to brush against the blade. The hilt was engraved with auspicious cloud patterns, and the tassel swayed in the wind.
Wei Wuxian slowly stroked the sword, which emitted a "humming" sound, as if to say, "I am quite satisfied that you have become my master."
"This sword?" Wei Wuxian asked, puzzled.
"Here you go. The sword I made before was just something I casually forged. Now that you're capable of handling things on your own, you need a sword that suits you," Ning Miaomiao said casually.
Wei Wuxian's original sword was also quite good; it was an extraordinary sword, not much different from the swords of the direct disciples of the Qishan Wen Clan, only one grade lower than this one.
The art of weapon crafting in this world is very underdeveloped, and there are no specific books on it. Only sects that have always made weapons can barely grasp the basics of weapon crafting.
Immortal artifacts are basically treasures passed down through generations of sects, and there are no more than five immortal artifacts in the world.
There are no magical artifacts at all.
"Sister, thank you, sister. I like it very much." Wei Wuxian knew Ning Miaomiao's personality and accepted the immortal sword with peace of mind.
"Since that's the case, let's give you a name. With auspicious clouds above and a sword blade that seems to be brushed by a gentle breeze, free and unrestrained, let's call you 'Suibian' (meaning 'whatever')."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sword emitted a buzzing sound again. Seeing that the sword was responding, Wei Wuxian's smile became even more genuine.
Ning Miaomiao listened to Wei Wuxian's analysis and finally came up with such a casual name. She looked helpless, but seeing Wei Wuxian's sincere smile, she shook her head.
This year, the Qingyun Sect accepted fifteen disciples, including a girl named Li Ruxin, who has a superior ice spiritual root. She is ten years old, comes from a poor commoner background, and has no parents. She has been wandering around and only came to Yiling after accidentally hearing about the reputation of the Qingyun Sect.
The remaining five disciples with mid-grade spiritual roots and nine with low-grade spiritual roots all came from commoner backgrounds. This group of disciples is quite good.
Like springtime with its frequent rains, the bamboo grove is filled with abundant spiritual energy that touches the heart of everyone.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye. Gu Changfeng had already entered the Golden Core stage. Wei Wuxian was unreliable. Ning Miaomiao entrusted some miscellaneous affairs of the Qingyun Sect to Meng Yao and Gu Changfeng to manage. Both of them were quite good and managed the Qingyun Sect in an orderly manner.
Wei Wuxian went night hunting alone a few times and saw that he was very skilled. So he suggested that Wei Wuxian take Gu Changfeng to train.
Later, the two of them took Xue Yang, Meng Yao, and others on night hunts and exorcise evil spirits.
Ning Miaomiao naturally became idle and simply became a hands-off manager.
In the blink of an eye, the spring rains have come to an end as the month turns. The spring rains gradually dissipate, temperatures rise, and the height of summer arrives.
That day, Ning Miaomiao glanced at the invitation in her hand that invited them to attend classes at Cloud Recesses and fell into deep thought.
She acted so well that now Cloud Recesses is even inviting her to attend their lectures.
The text also mentions an invitation to Wei Wuxian, Gu Changfeng, Meng Yao, and others to attend the lectures. As for the others, they were not invited because they were under sixteen years old.
Ning Miaomiao cast a spell with one hand, conjuring a hawk. The hawk seemed to come alive, nuzzling Ning Miaomiao's hand before quickly flying out the window.
Not long after, a sound came from outside the door.
"Sister, we're here," Wei Wuxian said cheerfully.
"The sect!" Gu Changfeng, Meng Yao, and the others said in unison.
Qiu Yuebai, Mo Yunzi, and Qi Yifei are all first-generation disciples. Although their aptitude is not very good, they are very diligent in their cultivation. In addition, Ning Miaomiao has chosen suitable cultivation methods for them based on their spiritual roots. It is believed that they will all be able to enter the Golden Core stage in a few years.
Meng Yao is close to reaching the threshold of the Golden Core stage, with a maximum of one year to go.
Ning Miaomiao handed the post to Wei Wuxian and asked him to take a look.
"What? Cloud Recesses invited us to attend their lectures?" Wei Wuxian's face turned dejected.
Hearing that Cloud Recesses has more than three thousand rules, Wei Wuxian became even more unhappy.
"Sister, can we not go?" Wei Wuxian pleaded.
How could Ning Miaomiao possibly agree? The Yin Iron from Yiling couldn't eliminate the Yin energy on it, so Ning Miaomiao sealed the Yin Iron.
Since arriving in this world, Ning Miaomiao has been trying to complete the mission, but she has no idea how. She has a feeling that Yin Iron should be an important tool for completing the mission.
Ning Miaomiao has traveled to so many places but hasn't found any more Yin Iron. She hasn't been to Cloud Recesses yet, but perhaps there are clues or Yin Iron there.
“No, staying in Qingyun Sect all the time isn’t a solution. Go to Cloud Recesses to study and broaden your knowledge, and make some like-minded friends.” Ning Miaomiao refused expressionlessly.
Wei Wuxian's resistance was futile, and Gu Changfeng, Meng Yao, and the others dared not defy the sect's will, for the sect's prestige was earned through countless battles.
In the Qingyun Sect, only Wei Wuxian and Xue Yang can call the Sect Leader "Sister".
