Chapter 26 Being a son-in-law is also a good thing!
Today, the seven lineages of Qingyun Sect are basically the legacy of the revival by Ancestor Qingye.
The lineage of Dazhu Peak, starting with Zheng Tong, the fourth disciple of the Qingye Ancestor, passed down to Tian Buyi. Over a thousand years and six generations, the population has never been very large.
Besides Tian Buyi and his wife and their daughter Tian Ling'er, this generation has six other disciples, ranked according to the "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trustworthiness, and books".
Xu Yan first met Song Daren, the eldest disciple, who was taken in by Tian Buyi more than a hundred years ago.
He is also the most accomplished of the six disciples, having cultivated the Taiji Xuanqing Dao to the fifth level of the Jade Purity Realm.
The second most skilled cultivator is the fourth brother, He Dazhi, who is quite intelligent and has learned ahead of others. He has currently reached the fourth level of the Object Control Realm.
The second brother, Wu Dayi; the third brother, Zheng Dali; the fifth brother, Lü Daxin; and the sixth brother, Du Bishu, are all currently at the third level of the Jade Purity Realm.
The second oldest started a hundred years ago, the third oldest started ninety-seven years ago, the fourth oldest seventy years ago, and the fifth and sixth oldest forty or fifty years.
When Tian Buyi mentioned the ages of his apprentices, Xu Yan sensed that all six of them looked over at him.
After all, they had heard that Xu Yan was only eighteen years old.
Given Xu Yan's rather mysterious background, people were naturally very curious about him.
Tian Buyi seemed quite dissatisfied with his disciples' cultivation levels, but when he spoke of Tian Ling'er, he became quite proud.
Tian Ling'er, who is currently twelve years old, has been cultivating since childhood and has now reached the third level of the Jade Purity Realm.
Among the younger generation of the entire Qingyun Sect, he is one of the most talented.
New disciples of Dazhu Peak must go to the back mountain and cut black bamboo for three years as their introductory course.
She's only in her second year of cutting [something].
Xu Yan has not yet recalled many details about the world of Jade Dynasty.
However, based on Zhang Xiaofan's age and some information he recently obtained from Tian Ling'er, he has confirmed the timeline of this world.
It was about a year before the Grass Temple Village massacre, and there were still six years until the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament of Qingyun Sect, which was held once every sixty years.
"What does Fellow Daoist Xu think of my disciples?"
Seeing that Xu Yan was only listening without speaking, Tian Buyi asked.
"I observe that the six Song brothers and their fellow disciples are all hidden talents, destined for greatness!"
Xu Yan spoke with conviction and solemnity, his expression seemingly revealing a hint of admiration.
He was inwardly full of complaints.
Do you really not know the skill level of your apprentices?
With your lazy attitude and hands-off approach, how can you possibly train a good apprentice?
The Qingyun Sect, also known as the Qingyun Sword Sect, is famous in the cultivation world for its four great sword techniques. Anyone with aspirations will forge swords as magical artifacts.
Look at Tian Buyi's disciples. Apart from Song Daren, what kind of magic weapons will the others practice in the future?
Don't even mention that the other six lineages look down on Dazhu Peak; you yourself don't care about your disciples' future!
If it weren't for Su Ru urging them to practice, these disciples probably wouldn't be at this level!
When he read the original novel, he felt that Tian Buyi was really not very capable as a master.
This understanding is now even more certain.
However, his social interactions as an adult taught him what to say and when.
Look, after he said that, the six fellow disciples looked at him with even more kindness!
Suddenly, Su Ru, the beautiful woman sitting on the right-hand side of the grand chair at the head of the table, couldn't help but chuckle, breaking the atmosphere in the hall.
She glanced at the serious-looking Xu Yan and gave him a sideways look.
He thought to himself that this kid was no pushover either.
He was saying the opposite of what he meant, and he was pretending to be serious.
While others might not have noticed, she was exceptionally intelligent and certainly saw through Xu Yan's little trick.
"The Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix"?
Tsk tsk, how come she didn't notice that these junior disciples had such talent?
Seeing everyone looking at her, Su Ru composed herself, coughed lightly, and casually made up an excuse to get away with it.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, where are you from? Have you ever joined a sect?"
After saying some more trivial things, Tian Buyi suddenly got down to business.
Xu Yan had already guessed what was going on after hearing Tian Buyi talk about the history of Dazhu Peak, so he declined Tian Buyi's offer without hesitation.
"My path of cultivation follows the ancient path, which differs considerably from the current cultivation system. I appreciate Chief Tian's intentions!"
"That's a real shame!"
Tian Buyi looked disappointed.
Xu Yan was vague about his origins, which he and Su Ru naturally noticed.
After all, Xu Yan was just a guest and had not decided to join Dazhu Peak.
Xu Yan didn't want to talk about it, and they didn't press him for details.
Of course, it wasn't just Tian Buyi who was disappointed, but also Tian Ling'er.
Just then, Xu Yan brought up the matter of asking Tian Ling'er to find the Pure Yang Elixir, saying:
"I have already used the elixir. I have come to deliver two gifts. I hope Chief Tian will not blame Ling'er."
He gestured for Tian Ling'er to open the package.
Tian Buyi already knew about the elixir last night. Compared to his promising disciple Xu Yan, the elixir was a minor matter.
Although Xu Yan rejected him, he was quite disappointed.
But seeing that Xu Yan was so polite and even brought a gift, he became curious.
After all, he was greatly amazed after carefully examining the five jade talismans in Tian Ling'er's hand last night.
Those jade talismans were made of extraordinary materials, and the talisman arrays engraved inside were incomprehensible even to him. He secretly guessed that these jade talismans might be some kind of ancient artifact.
Inside the package were two sets of feathered Taoist robes, which were beginner equipment for outer disciples of the Feathered Ascension Sect.
The crowd gathered around, looking at and touching the two sets of magnificent feathered robes, and they were all amazed.
"This seems to be the same style as the Taoist robe Brother Xu is wearing, only the color and material seem to be slightly different?"
Song Daren asked curiously.
Xu Yan nodded and introduced the various aspects of the feathered Taoist robe.
I've heard that this feathered robe is made from the silk spun by five kinds of demonic beasts: the Heavenly Silkworm, the Earthly Silkworm, the Golden Silkworm, the Silver Silkworm, and the Black Silkworm, and is blended with a hundred kinds of spiritual herbs.
Not only Tian Ling'er and the others, but also Tian Buyi and Su Ru were amazed.
Especially Su Ru and Tian Ling'er, women of all ages have little resistance to beautiful clothes.
Looking at the colorful Taoist robe that exuded spiritual light, her two beautiful eyes sparkled.
Upon hearing that wearing this Taoist robe would keep people warm in winter and cool in summer, and that it could ward off all poisons, miasma, and attacks from snakes, insects, rats, and other pests, the crowd was even more amazed.
Upon learning that these Taoist robes were not only impervious to ordinary swords and spears but also resistant to attacks from common treasures, everyone felt that the two sets of robes were incredibly valuable.
"Isn't this item far too valuable!"
Su Ru hesitated for a moment, then said reluctantly.
"It's nothing. It's fate that we've come to know everyone from Dazhu Peak. Besides, this is a return gift, so please accept it!"
Xu Yan waved his hand, looking completely nonchalant.
The feathered Taoist robe is a low-grade magic artifact, far inferior to the high-grade water and fire Taoist robe.
Although it was incredibly valuable in this world, he couldn't use it himself and mostly gave it away as gifts.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, you are truly generous!"
Seeing Xu Yan's arrogant and wealthy demeanor, Tian Buyi gave him a thumbs up.
Amidst the shock, everyone secretly wondered what Xu Yan's background was.
This kind of robe, which can be passed down as a family heirloom, is given away casually. Without a doubt, Xu Yan is definitely not from a humble background.
But what kind of immortal sect has such a disciple?
Xu Yan then explained how to use the Taoist robe.
Both the Feather Robe and the Water and Fire Robe are made primarily of five types of silkworm silk, but the quality of the silkworm silk varies depending on the grade of the silkworm that produces it.
Therefore, this type of robe originally had five colors to choose from: black, white, gold, silver, and blue.
Once the initial refining process begins and the color chosen for exposure is selected, it cannot be changed unless the mark is cleansed and the refining and selection process is repeated.
Xu Yan chose silver for his water and fire Taoist robe.
He used to wear a moon-white undergarment, but now he wears it as outerwear, which is fine.
Moreover, after the initial fitting, this robe can be adjusted to fit different body types.
The short and stout Tian Buyi, after trying on the garment through a blood sacrifice, was delighted to see the different aura he now possessed.
"With such a virtuous son-in-law, we'll never lack Taoist robes in the future!"
I may not be able to be an apprentice, but being a good son-in-law would be just as good!
