Chapter 004: A Hint of Gloom

Lu Yuan involuntarily squinted his eyes

This young man in white, known for his arrogance, is the eleventh disciple among the tenth generation of disciples accepted by Beifeng, named Sima Hao. If one must insist, he can be referred to as the Eleventh Junior Brother.

At that moment, three beams of sword light simultaneously shone, targeting the rabbit that he had set his sights on

That fellow Ye Yuan is not a good person either; he is lazy and indulgent.

The youth in white, Sima Hao, said: "By the way, I heard that in six months, there will be a grand competition within the peak. At that time, both you and I will participate, along with some senior brothers. I hope that Senior Brother Liu will generously offer guidance, allowing this junior disciple to witness your exquisite swordsmanship." The phrase 'exquisite swordsmanship' is deliberately emphasized, naturally implying its opposite.

Lu Yuan reminded, "Junior Brother Jiu, Master Fang is known as the Gentleman Sword, you should also have a semblance of a little Gentleman Sword."

This was established by the founder of the sect. The top ten possess a considerable amount of elixirs, mental cultivation methods, and sword techniques, far surpassing what the eleventh can compare to

And this arrogant Sima Hao laughed mockingly

Certainly, there is also a reason, which is that his master, Li Yuanbai, was severely injured in the past and is now nearing the end of his lifespan, unlike the other few of the Six Sword Immortals of Beifeng.

Therefore, Sima Hao also aspired to hold a position among the top ten true disciples. This position is not unassailable; if one performs poorly, there is indeed a possibility of being replaced. However, most of the top ten true disciples are not easy to deal with, so Sima Hao set his sights on Lu Yuan.

Of course, I am not much better myself; I have been scolded by Master Li Yuanbai for being a lazy good-for-nothing countless times.

Lu Yuanyi has always been a lazy person, somewhat easy to deceive

Ye Fang let out a sound: "In front of the master, one must put on an act; in front of the sixth senior brother, what do I need to pretend for?" His master is the Gentleman Sword, whose every move is filled with the demeanor of a gentleman, and he holds high expectations for his disciples. Unfortunately, Ye Fang is a reserved yet flamboyant man, and while he pretends to be a little Gentleman Sword in front of his master, the reality is quite different, heh heh

At this moment, Lu Yuan's hands moved swiftly, sprinkling cumin over the dish. His skill was so proficient that it was no less adept than wielding a sword.

For example, at this moment

Therefore, Sima Haochao aspires to become one of the top ten true disciples

Green mountains and clear waters

If there are not enough elders, it does not matter much

Unfortunately, the top ten true disciples are already filled, and Sima Hao can only rank eleventh. If he were twelfth, thirteenth, or fourteenth, it wouldn't feel as regrettable. However, being eleventh is particularly vexing; just one position short, how could one be content with that

After that arrogant fellow Sima Hao and the - picture - book left, Lu Yuan cursed under his breath.

"At that time, I will certainly not disappoint Brother Sima," Lu Yuan replied coldly. "By the way, Brother Sima is so eager to come out and praise my culinary skills; could it be that he wants to eat the chicken in my hands? What a pity, what a pity, I can only offer you a chicken bone." The chicken bone was skillfully tossed in front of Sima Hao.

Blue sky and white clouds

It is indeed quite frustrating to have encountered this despicable person

If one does not block the chicken bones, one will become someone who desires to eat chicken bones

At this moment, Lu Yuan was quite angry. Although he did not have a particularly bad temper, being provoked in such a manner was enough to make anyone furious.

On this day, there will naturally be those who seek to disrupt it

The problem lies in the number eleven

However, there are quite a few elders at Beifeng who are quite capable, so they gathered the ten true disciples early on

Damn, Lu Yuan's words are indeed sharp, but what good will your sharp tongue do in the Bei Feng Grand Competition six months from now, Sima Hao turned and left

Like Lu Yuan's master Li Yuanbai, Ye Fang's master Junzi Jian Fang Ru, and Ye Yuan's master Yuanrong Jian Ye Yangrong, all are figures among the Six Sword Immortals of Beifeng. Another member of the Six Sword Immortals of Beifeng is Sima Changbai, who has already accepted his eldest grandson Sima Bo as the fifth of the ten true disciples. However, as his second grandson Sima Hao grows up, he also wishes to include his grandson among the ten true disciples.

"Oh, isn't this Sixth Brother?" With this somewhat unpleasant remark, a young boy in white, looking quite arrogant, stepped out from behind a large tree. This young boy in white was about the same age as Lu Yuanye, Fang Ye, and Yuan San, but he immediately disrupted the atmosphere upon his arrival

Three rabbits were placed on the grill, and they were almost dripping with oil. The ninth disciple, Ye Fang, and the tenth disciple, Ye Yuan, were both gazing hungrily at the rabbits in front of them, especially Ye Yuan, who was practically drooling. This was truly too lewd and too lewd.

Thus, the three of us are like-minded, none of us is any better than the others

Lu Yuan greatly enjoys this atmosphere

The rabbit meat is exceptionally tender, and combined with that yellow wine, it is truly a great delight

A rich fragrance wafts outward

However, sometimes the atmosphere cannot be too pleasant, as an overly good atmosphere may provoke the jealousy of the heavens

What a carefree time it is

The praise for culinary skills, whether it be in the shape of leaves or circles, is indeed genuine

In the carefree years, it is also impossible for there to be even a trace of gloom.

However, a state of peace does not imply that nothing occurs; sometimes there are minor disputes and conflicts between sects. Occasionally, demons and monsters may appear, requiring the disciples of the five major righteous sects to exterminate these evils. Each sect has certain incentives for their disciples to prevent them from becoming overly complacent.

The youth in white, Sima Hao, now provocatively remarked: "I have long heard that Sixth Senior Brother has never been keen on diligent cultivation, and his swordsmanship is rather mediocre. However, he shows a keen interest in the culinary arts. How about this: Sixth Senior Brother could leave the sect and open a small restaurant at the foot of the mountain? I will certainly visit often and invite friends to come as well, so that everyone can appreciate Sixth Senior Brother's exceptional culinary skills"

Sima Hao is now in an awkward situation, having blocked the chicken bones from entering Lu Yuan's mouth, while he himself wants to eat chicken

Now, Sima Hao has come over again

Born in adversity, perishing in comfort; this principle is known by all five great sects.

It is important to note that the treatment of the top ten true disciples can be completely different from that of the eleventh disciple

The most renowned figures of the previous generation on North Peak are undoubtedly the Six Sword Immortals of North Peak

After a moment, the fragrance becomes increasingly intense

The Huashan Immortal Gate has indeed established rules. Each of the five peaks of Huashan can only have ten true disciples, and no more. This regulation was set by the founding patriarch, a knowledgeable and enlightened being, and has been in place for five thousand years, so naturally, no one dares to violate it. Each peak also has some remarkable elders, who pass down their teachings to their disciples.

Living on the North Peak of Huashan's Immortal Gate has always been carefree and quite comfortable. At this time, it is also a period of peace and prosperity in the realm of immortals, and the sect does not require its disciples to engage in battles, making life very leisurely. I have always secretly enjoyed this extremely relaxed lifestyle, but unfortunately, there are always some malicious individuals who appear, such as Sima Hao, who constantly seeks to usurp my position as one of the top ten true disciples.

After a brief moment, the three rabbits have been roasted to perfection

Thus, Sima Hao was able to impose himself upon Lu Yuan

It is said that within the sects of immortality cultivation, there are numerous vendettas, and cultivators often engage in combat with one another. The dangers of the cultivation world surpass those of the martial arts realm. However, what does it have to do with oneself? One is merely a lazy individual hiding on the northern peak of Mount Hua, idly waiting for death, with no concern for the arduous path of cultivation.

Lu Yuan murmured: "So it turns out that Brother Sima still wants to eat chicken, not just the chicken bones"

Sima Hao extended his sword to block, and with a loud crack, he knocked the chicken bone down

In the realm of cultivation, it is now a time of peace and prosperity

Every five years, there is a grand competition held within the North Peak of Mount Hua.

Both Ye Fang and Ye Yuan laughed heartily, mocking Si Ma Hao. As friends of Lu Yuan, they naturally stood by his side, collectively ridiculing Si Ma Hao. The laughter of Ye Fang and Ye Yuan was increasingly lewd.
