Chapter 528: Chapter 527: Hospitable Five Elements Sect (Request for Monthly Pass)_1
The Five Elements Sect, one of the Five Great Immortal Sects, is located on the Five Elements Spiritual Vein in Yunzhou. The Five Elements Spiritual Vein naturally corresponds to the Five Elements, making it the best place in Yunzhou.
Under the leadership of Sect Leader Qiu Jin’an, the Five Elements Sect is full of talents and is thriving. The sect is serious and diligent internally, striving to be the best, while being warm and friendly towards the outside world.
Even when disciples from the Seek Dao Sect come to study at the Five Elements Sect, old grudges are put aside, with elders coming out to meet them with magic artifacts, worried about any potential accidents befalling the Seek Dao Sect disciples.
“We are so welcomed here, with so many people coming out to greet us.” Man Gu laughed as he looked at the crowd in front of the gate of the Five Elements Sect.
Lu Yang’s eyes twitched as he learned from Fairy Eternity that those holding the magic artifacts were all in Unification stage, undoubtedly the elders of the Five Elements Sect.
Did they really need to hold magic artifacts to welcome them?
The flying boat docked while Meng Jingzhou led the team off the ship. Qiu Jin’an warmly greeted them, and behind him were five fierce and grim elders. One of the elders even held a banner in one hand and a weapon in the other, and it was unclear what he wanted to do.
“Welcome to our Five Elements Sect for observation and learning. Is there no leading elder?”
Qiu Jin’an did a headcount, only five men, not one of Seek Dao Sect’s children were there.
Unwilling to let it be, Qiu Jin’an used his Spiritual Sense to survey the surroundings and see if there was anyone hiding nearby.
“No, the elders are all busy, so they didn’t come.” Meng Jingzhou explained truthfully.
With a look of regret, Qiu Jin’an shook his head. It was a pity that nobody walked into his trap.
The five elders behind him used their magic artifacts. The tips of the artifacts were shining brightly. Meng Jingzhou was taken aback, but luckily the magic artifacts weren’t aimed at people but at the sky.

Boom, boom, boom…
Five attacks exploded in the air. The light they gave off was like beautiful fireworks exploding at night during the New Year.
With the sound of the explosions, the banner was unfurled: Welcome Seek Dao Sect disciples to our sect for study.
The Five Elements Sect was meticulous in their plans. They prepared for two possibilities. If the children of the Seek Dao Sect came, they would greet with magic artifacts, step on the Seek Dao Sect’s children and unfurl the banners as a show of power. If Yun Zhi came, they would switch to fireworks and banners immediately.
Even though Yun Zhi did not show up, having only a few juniors coming over, it was enough to welcome with a banner unfurling and fireworks display.
“Dismiss, dismiss, Old Buyu hasn’t arrived.”
“I heard that Old Buyu has appeared in the Wild State, should we go check it out?”
“Forget it, it’s probably another false alarm. Did we ever manage to catch him when we did obtain his whereabouts?”
“This son of a bitch is slippery, faster than a rabbit!”
“Man and Sword as One, One Sword Becomes Ten Thousand, nobody can find his true form with the continuous use of these two moves. By the time they find him, he would have already run off.”
“You know what, if I ran into him, I could actually find him.”
“How would you find him?”
“Did you see my eyes? I jumped into a furnace and smoked them for forty-nine days. Now my eyes can rival the Demon-Reflecting Mirror of the White Horse Temple!”
“If that’s so efficient, is it easy to practice? I would also like to give it a try.”
The elders, having fired off their fireworks and unfurled the banners, began to disperse and chat amongst themselves soon after.
Seeing that his target had not shown up, Qiu Jin’an coughed twice, giving Bai Ming a look to take care of the five men.
The Sect Leader and the elders had already left, but the disciples of the Five Elements Sect remained.
“Which one is Lu Yang? Point him out to me.”
“That’s him, the one who looks clean and tidy.”
“Do not judge a book by its cover. I heard that he fought and won against Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Spirit Transformation stages when he was at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Now he’s at the Golden Core Stage, can he defeat those at the Refining The Void stage?”
“Even without him fighting at the Refining The Void stage, even I can beat a weakened one in that stage.”
“Right.”
“Who’s the founder of the Dream Mirage?”
“Are you blind? There’s only one female cultivator, still asking?”
“She’s truly talented, why can’t I think of such a profitable idea.”
“What kind of good idea can you think of? You ate the skewers from Seek Dao Sect and wanted to open a shop outside, but found that the competition for barbecue shops is too fierce?”
“Isn’t the robust one the Ancient Barbarian Tribe? I thought the Ancient Barbarian Tribe was extinct.”
“It is rumored that he is a rare bloodline reverting back to its origin.”
The disciples of the Five Elements Sect didn’t frequent exchanges with the disciples of the Seek Dao Sect often, hence, they are extremely interested in Lu Yang and his party.
After Qiu Jin’an left, Meng Jingzhou looked at Bai Ming, puzzled: “Didn’t you go for the exchange study?”
Bai Ming smirked: “There is no place left to go. Your Seek Dao Sect took Shi Chan, Yan Tianzhi went to the Suspension Temple, the Laurel Fairy Palace does not allow male disciples, my two Junior Sisters went there, I frequent at the Prison Suppressing Sect and there’s no need for me to go, so I can only stay at the sect.”
As Bai Ming walked, he introduced the situation of the Five Elements Sect to Lu Yang and the others.
“You should have seen it from the flying boat. Our Five Elements Sect is built on the Five Elements Spiritual Vein. Depending on the different specializations, our sect has divided into five divisions according to the Five Elements. The ones who greeted you with the Sect Leader just now are the Grand Elders of the Five Veins. When they were young, they had some private grudges with your Seek Dao Sect’s elders. They wanted to meet and reminisce the old times, but it’s a pity they didn’t come.”
“What kind of grudges?”
Bai Ming heard from his Master about the several disputes between the Five Elements Sect and the Seek Dao Sect: “There were quite a few. For example, regular fights, your Seek Dao Sect’s elders often use a Sea of People Tactic to fight our elders when you have superior numbers, and report to the government office when you are outnumbered.”
“Sometimes they even use the Honey Trap. The fourth elder from your sect wrote a letter to our elder, using a female disciple’s tone saying she had admired our elder for a long time and hoped to meet him. The letter mentioned that she was shy and didn’t want to meet too many people, and requested for a private meeting. Our elder went, then nine people jumped out from behind a large stone. Can you imagine that?”
Lu Yang felt that this plot sounded very familiar. Did the Fourth Elder learn this tactic after a sobering experience?
Li Haoran feared that there might be elders from the Five Elements Sect eavesdropping on their conversation, and Bai Ming’s words might stir up old resentments and draw their ire. Hence, he swiftly changed the topic: “Which division are you from?”
“Me? I am proficient in the Five Elements magic skills, I don’t belong to any divisions. I am a disciple of the Sect Leader.”
“Only those like me who are skilled in all Five Elements magic skills can be disciples of the Sect Leader.” Speaking of this, Bai Ming appeared slightly smug, the corners of his mouth curling up into a faint smile. Being proficient in the Five Elements magic skills, his talent in the Five Elements Sect was unique and rare.
“Then I should be suitable too.” Lu Yang pointed at himself.
His magic skills were unique: he could use the Golden Body of the gold series magic skills, the “Tree-Planting Sutra” of the wood series magic skills, he hadn’t learned the water series magic skills yet, he could use the Three Flavored True Fire of the fire series magic skills, and Shrinking Earth of the earth series magic skills.
Bai Ming turned his head to look at Lu Yang, surprise in his eyes: “You are indeed suitable, very fitting to be with the Sect Leader. Why didn’t you come to our Five Elements Sect in the first place?”
Lu Yang scratched his head awkwardly: “The Seek Dao Sect was closer to my home, so I thought I’d try it first. I didn’t expect to succeed right away.”
Bai Ming: “…”
What a simplistic reason.
