Jujutsu: Eight Magical Skills At The Beginning, Admission Is A Special Level

Chapter 3: Not Three Hundred, But Thirty Years of Age Can Bestow Immortality Pills

As the saying goes: "In this world, many young women end up with unworthy men. It has been a long-standing problem."

Mo Buxio, as the junior disciple, had all the advantages, with a halo around him and all his buffs maxed out. Yet, he still couldn't win over the senior sister. It was truly a failure.

He became a textbook example of what not to do.

Lu Bei couldn't help but mutter to himself, blaming his cheap master for not doing a good job. If he had been more capable back then and defeated his senior brother, he could have become the sect leader and won over the senior sister. Instead, he inherited the Ascension Gate, which was not as prestigious as the Towering Heaven Sword Sect.

Lu Bei knew nothing about the Towering Heaven Sword Sect, how many disciples there were, how much land they owned, or how many senior sisters were waiting for marriage. But he had confidence in the Ascension Gate, thinking that it was the best sect in the world.

Guarding this mountain gate was much better than leeching experience from the Towering Heaven Sword Sect.

Indeed, he could rely on Bai Jin to get through the beginner stage, but what would he do afterwards? He couldn't let Bai Jin support him for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Lu Bei couldn't help but ponder. According to Bai Jin, Mo Buxio had indeed dealt a heavy blow to his senior brother, regardless of whether it was accidental or intentional. At least in terms of strength, the junior disciple was stronger than the senior brother.

So the question was, why did Mo Buxio lose to the senior sister under such comprehensive suppression?

"No, it seems like he didn't lose."

Lu Bei squinted his eyes and realized what was wrong. Mo Buxio hadn't returned to the Towering Heaven Sword Sect for many years, yet he was able to send a message to Bai Jin. Bai Jin also had great expectations for Mo Buxio's last words, as if some unnamed sect leader's wife had entrusted something to him.

Sure enough, the relationship wasn't simple.

"Junior Brother Lu, what do you mean by 'he didn't lose'?" Bai Jin asked when she saw Lu Bei deep in thought.

"It's nothing. I was just talking nonsense. When people are lonely, they often do that. Please forgive me, Senior Sister Bai." Lu Bei brushed it off and changed the subject. "Where is the Towering Heaven Sword Sect? Senior Sister Bai, you've come a long way."

"The Towering Heaven Sword Sect is located in Mountain State, east of Tranquil State, spanning seven counties..."

Seeing that Lu Bei didn't ask about the gossip between the three elders, Bai Jin felt a little disappointed. She briefly introduced Mo Buxio's hometown, the Towering Heaven Sword Sect.

"So it's in Mountain State."

Lu Bei nodded repeatedly. He knew nothing about the Towering Heaven Sword Sect, but he had heard of Mountain State.

Mountain State was located at the eastern border of the Wu Zhou Kingdom, adjacent to a neighboring country. When version 2.0 of the game started, a national war broke out, and Mountain State was the first to bear the brunt. It was one of the main battlefields. The local Immortal Gate sect had a survival rate of only one in ten, with cultivators either dying or fleeing.

By the time version 3.0 came around, the spiritual veins of the immortal mountains in Mountain State had been seized by various major guilds. After a wave of internal strife, the remaining NPC cultivators packed up and left.

Since then, whether Mountain State was chaotic or not was determined by the players.

The time when Lu Bei was assigned a mission for his superior was precisely when version 3.0 started. He had heard of Mountain State's name for a long time, but due to the fierce competition, he had only observed from a distance and never played there.

Now, Lu Bei could roughly guess the fate of the Towering Heaven Sword Sect. If it hadn't been destroyed in the national war, it must have been pushed out by players. It was not surprising that he hadn't heard of the Towering Heaven Sword Sect since he started playing in version 3.0.

After discussing the Towering Heaven Sword Sect, Bai Jin briefly introduced Mountain State. Seeing Lu Bei's lack of interest, she decided not to say more.

Lu Bei didn't mention going to the Towering Heaven Sword Sect, and Bai Jin didn't bring up the matter of taking Mo Buxio's ashes back. This matter was not up to them; it depended on the sect leader's decision.

Considering Mo Buxio's past injuries and his long-standing connection with Bai Jin, Lu Bei believed that the sect leader would smile slightly, indicating that the past was forgiven, and then secretly send someone to scatter Mo Buxio's ashes.

And it was very likely that the person would be himself.

"Junior Brother Lu, did Senior Uncle Mo leave anything behind?"

"He left a Universe Bag. The Ascension Gate's sect leader seal is inside, but I can't open it." Lu Bei took out the Universe Bag and didn't hide anything except for it.

Based on the current situation, Bai Jin and the sect leader's wife were on his side. They were his own people and could be trusted.

Bai Jin nodded, took the Universe Bag, and took out the sect leader seal, land deed, and official documents. The sect leader seal was a palm-sized ancient token, with the words "Immortal Transformation" carved on the front in monster language, and a flying bird pattern carved on the back. It looked ordinary and had no special features.

Bai Jin put away the Sect Master token and took out a bag of steamed buns and cooked food wrapped in lotus leaves from the Universe Bag. He handed them to Lu Bei and said, "Master Uncle's position has been passed on to you. Since there wasn't enough time for official registration at the Extreme Monarch Sect, I will handle this matter. It should be done sooner rather than later. It's still early in the day, so I can leave now and return tonight."

Lu Bei suddenly realized why there was no record of wealth and faction affiliation. It turned out that it hadn't been officially stamped by the authorities.

The Extreme Monarch Sect is the largest Immortal Gate sect in Wu Zhou. It was established even before the founding of Wu Zhou. It can be said that the Extreme Monarch Sect played a crucial role in Wu Zhou's expansion and its continued existence for eight hundred years.

There is a saying among the people: "As long as the Extreme Monarch Sect stands, Wu Zhou will not fall!"

Lu Bei didn't agree with this statement. Having experienced version 3.0, he knew very well the harm that the Extreme Monarch Sect posed to Wu Zhou.

If the Extreme Monarch Sect stands, Wu Zhou will perish. It's a matter of mutual destruction.

In the early days of the country's founding, the Extreme Monarch Sect was not called the Extreme Monarch Sect. It was a legitimate Immortal Gate sect. It was only when the Extreme Monarch Sect helped the Zhu Clan seize power in Wu Zhou that many descendants of the Zhu Clan joined the sect. They turned the Extreme Monarch Sect into a one-man show for the Zhu family, making it an official Immortal Gate sect.

Wu Zhou relied on the Immortal Gate to establish its rule. Therefore, it was highly cautious of Immortal Gate sects within its borders. As the official representative, the Extreme Monarch Sect had nominal jurisdiction. All Immortal Gate disciples within the country had to register and be recorded. The succession of the Sect Master also required official approval. Otherwise, it would be considered invalid.

It sounds unbelievable. Cultivators are used to being free and unrestrained. It doesn't seem like they would willingly submit to such restrictions. But the fact is, not only in Wu Zhou, but in all the countries in the world, the first step to cultivation is obtaining a certificate.

Returning to the main topic, at that time, the Extreme Monarch Sect helped the Zhu Clan stabilize its rule in Wu Zhou, which was beneficial for the country and the people.

However, as time went on, problems arose. With so many people surnamed Zhu and everyone practicing cultivation, there were thousands of princes and princesses. The Extreme Monarch Sect involuntarily started to interfere in Wu Zhou's internal affairs.

Interestingly, in the twelve states and eighty-four counties of Wu Zhou, more than half of the state governors and county officials were descendants or relatives of the Zhu Clan. The appointment and dismissal of local officials were handled by the central government. The interference of the Extreme Monarch Sect in internal affairs directly affected the interests of these people.

The Extreme Monarch Sect, which assisted the central imperial power of Wu Zhou, was now in a power struggle with that very central power. This scene was probably not anticipated in the early days of the country.

But looking at it from a positive perspective, regardless of who wins or loses, the world is still in the hands of the Zhu family.

Laughing!

"Hehehe..."

"Lu Junior Brother, why are you laughing?"

"It's nothing. I'm just talking nonsense again. I often do that. Senior Sister Bai, please don't mind."

Lu Bei waved his hand and took a steamed bun while saying, "Do I need to accompany you for the succession approval of the Ascension Gate?"

"No, I can go faster alone."

Bai Jin explained that the Ascension Gate was a small sect within Wu Zhou and was included in the Nine Bamboo Mountain sect for convenience. According to the rules, it needed to be registered in the Tranquil State Prefecture. She had acquaintances at the Extreme Monarch Sect's residence, "Great Victory Pass," in Tranquil State Prefecture, so the process would be fast and convenient. Lu Bei's presence was not necessary.

Due to her trust in her senior sister, and mainly due to her trust in the ambiguous relationship between her cheap master and the Sect Master's wife, Lu Bei nodded and said no more. He stuffed another steamed bun into his mouth.

Compared to cultivation, eating was more important.

"Lu Junior Brother, Master Uncle entrusted you to me, so I will arrange all matters related to your cultivation from now on."

"Of course, thank you, Senior Sister Bai."

"Good."

Bai Jin nodded and asked Lu Bei to sit cross-legged on the ground. She took out a small white porcelain bottle and said, "The spiritual energy on this peak is too thin. Here are some Spirit Opening Pills. Take two every other hour until I come back. During my round trip to Great Victory Pass, I will leave a formation map to protect you. I hope you will diligently cultivate and not slack off."

Impressive. It turns out that you don't need to be three hundred years old to receive immortal pills from a senior sister.

"Thank you, Senior Sister."

Lu Bei quickly swallowed the last bite of the steamed bun and the two Spirit Opening Pills. He waited for the medicinal power to digest, allowing the spiritual energy to spread throughout his body.

Seeing this, Bai Jin didn't say anything more. She threw out a formation map that covered an area of two meters around Lu Bei, leaving behind a package before turning and heading towards Great Victory Pass.
