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

Chapter 35: The Mighty Sect Leader

After spending a day and night cultivating in the cave, Zhu Bo still held onto the hope of finding something left behind by the Demon Cultivator. He suggested exploring once more, and if there were any formations blocking their way, they would observe from the outside.

During this exploration, he discovered several issues.

Firstly, the formations in the passage had been deciphered and even ordinary people could come and go freely. Secondly, there were significant problems with the eternal lamps; they were definitely not ancient artifacts from a thousand years ago.

With a heart full of doubt, Zhu Bo arrived at the location of the altar. The dried blood and bloodline mechanism made him suddenly realize the truth. Analyzing each clue one by one, he quickly saw through the whole situation.

"If I'm not mistaken, the first owner of this Cave Mansion was a Monster Cultivator, and the serpent was the source of its bloodline. Unexpectedly, when the second owner of the Cave Mansion, a Demon Cultivator, arrived, it led to all the conspiracies and collaborations with me," Zhu Bo concluded.

"Your reasoning is sound and convincing," Lu Bei nodded heavily.

"It's just some insights gained from experience. After seeing and experiencing so much, I've picked up a thing or two," Zhu Bo modestly waved his hand and sighed. "In the end, I was slow to realize. This time, being manipulated by the serpent, she must have greatly advanced her cultivation with the bloodline source. If we encounter her again, we'll probably have to avoid her."

"True Qi people like us are the ones who have been taken advantage of," Lu Bei said with frustration.

"There's nothing we can do. Cultivation is like this, it's all about personal abilities. There's no right or wrong, and no reasoning to speak of."

Seeing Lu Bei's dissatisfaction, Zhu Bo comforted him and continued, "Brother Lu, don't worry. Although we are helpless against the serpent, it will be easy for the Extreme Monarch Sect to deal with her. If she wants to steal the ancestral tomb of my Zhu Clan, I will report it truthfully, and she will become a dog of a ruined family, never finding peace even in death."

"Then I can rest assured."

...

The three of them left the Cave Mansion and passed through the guardian formation infested with zombies. After a moment of contemplation, Lu Bei asked Zhu Bo and Luo Ban to go ahead while he single-handedly dealt with the horde of zombies, completely eradicating them.

Not to mention the fact that these creatures posed a serious threat to the ecological balance and carried hidden risks of a zombie epidemic, even leaving them alone would still pollute the environment. It was better to eliminate them.

Doing good deeds every day made his red scarf on his chest look even brighter.

[You have completed the hidden mission: Annihilate the Zombie Formation, and gained 100,000 experience points.]

"They actually gave experience points, and 100,000 at that?"

Lu Bei was deeply surprised and silently praised the programmers. Good deeds were rewarded, and hidden missions had profound meanings. He had learned a lesson.

Leaving the cave, the light became brighter. Lu Bei opened the information prompt and took a look.

[You have completed the mission [Ruins Exploration].]

[You have completed the main mission: Survival, and gained 200,000 experience points.]

[You have completed the main mission: Explore the Ruins, and learned the whole truth. You gained 120,000 experience points based on your contribution.]

[You have completed the side mission...]

[...]

Lu Bei quickly scanned through the pile of information and confirmed the rewards of this trip. A total of 620,000 experience points, plus the 100,000 he had before, amounted to a total of 720,000 experience points.

"Indeed, doing missions is the fastest way to gain experience," Lu Bei sighed with emotion. Alchemy was working for others, while doing missions was working for himself. The rewards were naturally incomparable.

By the riverside, Lu Bei found Zhu Bo, Luo Ban, and Feng Si, who had a swollen face and were replenishing their energy while eating.

According to Feng Si, not long after they entered, the gatekeeper left by She Xuan's team revealed his ferocious fangs and attacked him by surprise. Unable to defend himself, he suffered a beating and was hung on a tree.

Just as Feng Si thought his life was over, She Xuan suddenly appeared and, at the moment when Feng Si thought he was done for, she sprayed a poisonous needle at her own teammate, killing them instantly, and then swiftly left.

Before leaving, she asked Feng Si to pass a message to Zhu Bo, saying that she had offended him greatly and hoped for future opportunities for cooperation.

"What does she mean? Is she afraid that I will cause trouble for her and is trying to appease me, or is she mocking me by rubbing salt in my wounds?" Zhu Bo was greatly puzzled. However, Feng Si having survived was a good thing. After experiencing the betrayals of Liu Xiong and Liu Meng, he cherished trustworthy brothers like Feng Si even more.

The four of them rested by the river, waiting for Feng Si to recover his strength before returning to the nearby town.

"Brothers, you are injured and it's inconvenient to travel long distances. Coincidentally, my hometown is in the nearby Jade Chime District. Why don't you come to my house and rest for a few days?" Zhu Bo suggested.

"Oh, so you're from the Jade Chime District. This is the first time I've heard you mention it," Lu Bei said.

"I'm just a country bumpkin. There's nothing much to say about my poor hometown," Zhu Bo replied.

"Brother Lu is being modest. Nine Bamboo Mountain is not considered poor. It produces a lot of Spiritual Bamboo, which is a good business. My second brother wants to purchase from Nine Bamboo Mountain but hasn't found a reliable source," Zhu Bo explained.

"In that case, I'll ask Brother Kui for you. You might not believe it, but I have the final say when it comes to the Nine Peaks of Nine Bamboo Mountain. Is Three Pristine Peak in chaos or not? I have the say," Lu Bei said.

"So impressive?"

"Just a humble person, I am the head of the Three Pristine Peak Ascension Gate..."

...

Two days later, the carriage stopped at the foot of Nine Bamboo Mountain.

With their own speed, they should have been faster, but there were too many injured people, so they were delayed while walking and recuperating.

Nine Bamboo Mountain is not large in size, but it depends on what it is compared to. Compared to famous mountains and spiritual veins, it is just a small hill. For Lu Bei, who is still walking on two legs, it is quite confusing.

Yes, he couldn't find his way home.

When he went up the mountain before, Mo Buxio flew him up, and when he went down the mountain, Bai Jin flew him away. So he had no idea which road led to the Three Pristine Peak.

In the astonishment of Zhu Bo and the others, Lu Bei stopped a passing disciple of the Lofty Brow Faction and asked for directions to his home.

"Young brother, are you sure this is your home and not someone else's?" Zhu Bo couldn't help but ask as they climbed the mountain.

"The title deed of the Three Pristine Peak and the seal of the Ascension Gate are all stamped by the Extreme Monarch Sect. My name is written on them in black and white. Can there be any fakes?" Lu Bei pointed to the renovated stone steps. "The main reason is that the old mountain gate has been renovated. I went to my cousin's house during this time, so I didn't recognize it at first."

Zhu Bo chose to believe for the time being, but half a moment later, he didn't think so anymore because the gate of the Ascension Gate was locked, and Lu Bei, as the head, had to climb over the wall to go home.

"Don't be polite, feel free to climb over the wall to my home."

In the courtyard, Lu Bei saw that there was no movement outside for a long time, so he leaned out and said to the three people outside the wall, "I just explained that the whole place has been renovated, and the gate has been replaced. I am far away in Great Victory Pass, so it's not surprising that I don't have the key."

...

Every sentence was true, but because of his previous unreliability, Zhu Bo and the others were skeptical until Lu Bei took out the title deed and the documents from the Extreme Monarch Sect. Only then did they reluctantly believe and climbed over the wall one by one into the courtyard.

Lu Bei looked around and found that the construction ability of the Lofty Brow Faction was worth the price paid by the rich woman. Although it was not magnificent, the courtyard was uniquely planned and pleasing to the eye, quite elegant.

"Young brother, your mountain gate is not that great. Since I came to this peak, I haven't absorbed much spiritual energy." Zhu Bo teased, "Also, the Ascension Gate is really quiet. Where have all the disciples gone?"

"If there is spiritual energy, it wouldn't be called the Three Pristine Peak. As for the disciples, I can take care of myself and my family. I haven't started recruiting yet."

"Uh, young brother, why don't you come with me to Great Victory Pass? As long as the Zhu family has food, you won't go hungry." Zhu Bo couldn't bear it.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Brother Bo, but I cannot go against my master's orders."

Lu Bei brought the three people to the guest rooms and saw that there was no place to sit. He walked out without any embarrassment and said, "The new home hasn't been furnished yet. Please bear with it for now. I will go down the mountain and buy some things to bring back."

The three people in the room looked at each other, but fortunately, they were not picky people. Zhu Bo and Feng Si, in particular, had often slept in the wilderness due to their professions. They each chose a room to meditate and recuperate.

On Four Thorns Peak, far from the Three Pristine Peak, the disciple of the Lofty Brow Faction who was asked for directions by Lu Bei hurriedly ran back to the mountain gate and found the head, Ding Lei, and reported the situation truthfully.

"Are you sure it's that pretty boy?"

Ding Lei's face showed anger as he recalled the night three months ago when Bai Jin broke into the Lofty Brow Faction's mountain gate and forced them to do a renovation business.

Doing business is doing business. If you have something to say, why do you have to resort to violence?

And she even hit them twice!

It made it seem like the Lofty Brow Faction was not trustworthy in doing business and would secretly embezzle construction funds and provide subpar work!

Indeed, they had done subpar work before, but it was the first time they did business with Bai Jin. They hadn't deceived her or cheated her. Without any evidence, she came and showed off twice. That's what made her unreasonable.

Bai Jin was strong, and the entire Lofty Brow Faction was no match for her. Ding Lei had to admit it, but if he couldn't beat the female devil, couldn't he teach a lesson to the pretty boy Lu Bei?

This anger had to be vented, otherwise, the unity of the faction would be lost, and how could he lead the team as the head in the future?

"Head, rest assured, even if he turns into ashes, I can still recognize his face."

"What about his senior sister..."

"She's not here. Besides his face, the pretty boy doesn't have much strength or physique. Most likely, he won't survive if he encounters any danger."

The disciple envied, resented, and mocked, and then added, "The only three people with him are all sickly and weak, barely able to walk."

"Good, let the disciples prepare properly. Gather at midnight tonight and accompany me, the head, to the Three Pristine Peak to avenge our humiliation."

"The head is mighty!"
