The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 55

Chapter 55: Warrior Division’s WuShuang Mountain

As everyone knew, mages didn’t have combat ability , because although mages could refine magic pills, their innate talent was not suited to martial arts. Therefore, normal low and mid-level mages needed to find a strong and powerful backer. As for high level mages, they didn’t have to look for backers since the backers would come looking for them instead. This was because practitioners needed the high level magic pills refined by high level mages.

Therefore, most mages would choose to join a sect , since the sect would protect them. Furthermore, if they performed well, they didn’t even have to go search themselves for magic herbs.

However, sects also had their own rules. For example, the last time Ling Xiao left on a mission, they also brought along three mid-level mages. Firstly, it was a precautionary measure in case something happened along the way. Secondly, only mages would be able to pick magic herbs and tell them apart, especially when it came to high level magic herbs.

High level magic herbs were different from low level magic herbs , since soul force was needed to pick them. Otherwise the roots would easily be damaged , causing the quality to decrease. This would be like failing to build something because there was one basket of earth short.

Therefore , when the Tian Xin Sect sent disciples out on a mission, they would also send a few mages. Also , mages who returned from successful missions were allowed to keep ten percent of the magic herbs they brought back for themselves.

But not everyone was chosen to go on a mission. Some people had not gone on a mission with disciples from the Warrior Division , even though they had been with the sect for ten years.

Therefore, the annual grand friendly competition was a chance. A chance to interact with the Warrior Division and develop some relationships. If they could leave a good impression, even a low level mage may be chosen.

After getting this information, You XiaoMo felt that the way of the mage was a really hard road.

The next day, since the magic herbs in the dimension had matured, You XiaoMo spent almost the whole day in his dimension right up to the day they set off. Da Shixiong came over early in the morning to call him. He let him prepare the necessary things for the trip before heading over to the assembly point in front of the Hall of Magic Herbs.

This trip to the Warrior Division, other than the four of them, there were twenty other disciples from other circles. Even from a far, You XiaoMo could hear their excited discussion about the grand friendly competition. They looked very excited , except for a few who seemed to have been over before.

The last to arrive was Zhao-shishu, coming just on time. He didn’t say anything unnecessary, just reminded everyone to stick to the rules and not talk nonsense when they entered the domain of the Warrior Division. After that, the whole group set off grandly.

“Xiao Shidi, even though this is the first time for you, you must not let our shifu lose face. You are now representing our Capital Peak.”

You XiaoMo was minding his own business, his head down, when he suddenly heard someone speaking. He raised his head and saw NanGong Ying-shijie’s serious expression. It was a moment before he realized that Shijie was speaking to him so he hastily said, “Yes, please be at ease , Shijie. I will definitely mind my actions.”

NanGong Ying actually froze because she didn’t expect him to be so earnest, making it hard for her to continue what she wanted to say.

Fang ChenYue who was walking in front suddenly turned around shook his head, “Xiao Shidi, you don’t have to be so nervous. Your Fourth Shijie i s just joking with you. Even though you are Shifu’s disciple, you have only entered the sect for two months. If Capital Peak has to depend on you to keep up appearances, wouldn’t that mean that there is no one left in Capital Peak?”

There was truth in those words. You XiaoMo also knew that Da Shixiong was not belittling , him so he nodded in agreement.

NanGong Ying also didn’t feel embarrassed after having the rug pulled from beneath her by her own Da Shixiong. She quickly got into the same groove as them and soon teased You XiaoMo again. But he was no longer fooled , since he now knew her character.

This Fourth Shijie was actually very considerate. Afraid that he didn’t mix well with the others, she would frequently talk to him for the whole trip.

Even though the Mage and Warrior Divisions were from the same sect, the groups were actually separated by a mountain. If one did not go by flying but rather by walking, it would take the time to burn half a joss stick to get there.

But for mages who frequently walked down the mountain, this was not far at all. After the time it took to burn half a joss stick, they finally made it around the mountain. The Warrior Division was now in front of them.

Used to the grandeur of Capital Peak, You XiaoMo had thought there wouldn’t be another mountain that would take his breath away. Who knew that just separated by one mountain would be an even grander mountain than Capital Peak.

The entire WuShuang Mountain gave off a towering and majestic air. A line cut across the lofty mountain. The top part was wrapped in billowing waves of clouds that could topple mountains and overturn seas. The magnificence was boundless. A feeling of insignificance emerged unconsciously in all of them who are standing at the foot of the mountain when looking u p . Even the disciples who had seen it before felt equally awed.

“Is this the group of Zhao Zhen-shishu?” Someone from the Warrior Division, who had long been waiting respectfully for the arrival of this big group of disciples, immediately walked over.

Zhao-shishu gave a faint nod in the manner of a senior. That disciple didn’t dare to delay even a little, quickly inviting them in.

The word WuShang in WuShang Mountain meant the world number one. The disciples of the Warrior Division were distributed over the five peaks of the mountain into five lineages. They were the East Lineage, West Lineage, South Lineage, North Lineage and Central Lineage. The disciples taking part in this grand friendly competition were from these five lineages. As for the place of the competition, it would be held on the huge plateau halfway up WuShuang Mountain.

That plateau was called Sudden Lightning Plateau. According to a legend, the founder of the Tian Xin Sect used divine power to open up this plateau. Also, every month there would be a day when lightning would strike the plateau, hence the name of Sudden Lightning Plateau.

Since the competition would only start tomorrow, Zhao-shishu let them go around on their own for now, only restricting them to not wander far.
