Once upon a Time in LingJian Mountain
Episode 11
I trained too hard that it broke my hand.
Wang Lu,
are you looking for being abused?
What are you talking about?
You lost your mind.
Wen Bao’s power
is stronger than I’ve imagined.
In half a day,
he performed two...
no, twenty times of Darksteel Magic.
I gave up on resisting twice
and took the impact with my body.
I felt like my bones
were fractured.
Meanwhile,
I could feel the Wuxiang Pill
in my body has
come into effect
in the bone marrows.
Great!
Let’s practice meditation.
OK.
Maybe you can see more things.
At the end of the road, I can see dozens of...
no,
hundreds of soaring pillars,
standing upright like swords
and glimmering like gold.
The pillars you’re looking at
are your bones.
They glimmer like gold.
That means you have reached
the ninth-level of the spirit of Wuxiang Sword.
When you surpass this level,
you may absorb nimbuses into your body.
Your Void Spirit Root is going to be suppressed
by the spirit of Wuxiang Sword right now.
Now, adjust your breathes
and clear your mind.
Try to adjust the glimmering of the pillars
to your breathes.
What is it?
There’s....
a beam of light in the darkness.
Echoing to the glimmering of the pillars,
a new bone springs up
and lights up the darkness.
The Grand Bone.
It must be the Grand Bone.
Tell me what it’s like.
Wang Lu isn’t at Non-phase Peak.
Is it true he’s dating Xinyao?
Xinyao, how could you?
Wang Lu, how dare you...
How dare you...
Ling?
Wang Lu, you weren’t lying.
It’s not Xinyao whom you’re dating.
But, Wang Lu,
you really have a weird eye for girls.
No.
Wang Lu, how do you feel?
The Grand Bone.
I can feel that it’s trembling.
What should we do?
Wang Lu, how do you feel?
I feel
I can see clearer this time.
Don't slap me in the face.
No meat?
Ling, can I have some meat?
Eat it, or beat it.
I’m not hungry. Take it.
How can I do that?
Hey, Wang Lu,
Xinyao and you...
I was kidding.
Wen Bao,
I’ve been nice to you, right?
In the whole sect,
you’re the kindest soul.
OK, then.
I’m going to train myself at Qingyun Peak.
Come with me.
Qingyun Peak?
The peak in Master Ao’s territory?
Well,
it gathers rich nimbuses
and breeds lots of magical herbs like reishi.
Because...
Because there are rich nimbuses,
we have to go.
Look,
last time at Qingyun Peak,
such a tiny Qingyun helped us
improve highly of our power.
We’re going to the main peak this time.
Our power could be tripled, don’t you think?
Idiot.
Well,
in the last test at Qingyun,
you know how dangerous it can be
even with the protection of restrictions.
Now we don’t have any protection,
and it’s just you and me.
I...
I don’t want to be killed.
The more dangerous it is,
the more powerful trumps you can get.
Wang Lu, you overestimate me.
I’m clumsy.
So I choose not to be the burden for you.
I forgot.
When I met Xinyao yesterday,
I asked her that
if there’s someone she likes.
What did she say?
She said
she likes men with the nerve to take challenges.
As to those who get cold feet
facing challenges,
she won’t bother even look at them.
Wang Lu, I’ve made my mind.
I’m going with you.
Where are you going?
Ling,
there are magical herbs all over Qingyun Peak.
It’s said Master Ao carefully plants them.
They’re priceless.
A dozen of herbs
can feed you for a year.
Like someone said,
it is a non-profitable inn.
You can’t tempt me with a few magical herbs.
You...
You’re so full of it.
Almost all the chiefs and waiters
of your inn quit.
If I were the investor,
I would close it up.
It opens as long as I’m running it.
OK. I like the spirit.
Why don’t you make a fortune with the herbs
and open up a few more inns?
Think about it. If your Home Inns
spread out in the whole Cangxi State,
how many homeless
and run-away children
can feel your love in your inns?
Wang Lu,
I’ve made up my mind. I’m going with you.
Hold on.
I heard the defense of Qingyun Peak is tough.
Without a visiting permit,
we may trigger the restrictions and be killed.
Do you think people like us with poor kungfu
can make it in?
I say we will make it.
Let’s go.
Shang, you’re so floppy.
When you developed the kungfu,
you shouldn’t have been so careless.
Wu, promise me.
You have to live happily.
I’ll come back.
Hai Tiankuo,
though your Liumang Poisonous Blood
makes my wound severe,
you may not know,
it also makes me more powerful with Wuxiang Magic.
I’ll let you pay for it.
I’m going to be rich.
Yue Yun, Yue Yun,
have a look.
Yue Yun, wait a second.
Wait for me.
Look,
my master fixed her golden seal yesterday.
Just let us pass.
We’re just visitors.
As Master Ao said,
rules are rules.
there are magical herbs at Qingyun Peak.
How can I grant access
to outer disciples?
Last time, at Qingyun,
your master took so many Red Fruits.
I was scolded badly by Master Liu Xian
and Master Fang He.
If I give you the permit again,
I will be confined in the Penalty Chamber.
You leave me no choice.
Ao Guanhai,
you think you can put on airs
since you were called Black?
Remember how my master has saved you
from critical danger?
- That’s how you show your gratitude? - Shut up.
Do you have conscience?
Keep it low.
If Master Ao found out,
I’d be punished.
You know Master Ao is nice to me.
So,
grant us the permit and let us in.
Wang Lu, Master Ao urges me
to take good care of you
because you’re Master Wu’s disciple.
I was just following the rules.
Forgive me for that.
Yue Yun,
I just want to look around.
You don’t have to come with us.
Why don’t you go back?
I know you’ve got work to do.
But...
It’s OK. We’ll be fine.
I...
Go, just go.
What are you looking at?
You get me wrong.
It just occurs to me that I don’t even
know your full name after all these years.
Just write Ling down.
Don’t joke with me.
This is a permit.
You have to write down your real name
to make it effective.
At least tell me your surname.
I don’t have a surname.
Are you kidding, sweetie?
It’s truth testing paper. Lies won’t work on it.
Only truth is allowed on the truth testing paper.
Or,
it disappears.
It’s just like a lie detector.
But lie detector goes wrong sometimes.
Truth testing paper won’t.
Let me show you.
Actually...
Actually, like lie detector,
it goes wrong from time to time.
Trust me.
I’m not like your master.
I won’t leave you in trouble.
Come on. Write it down.
We’re late for the procurement.
Who doesn’t have a surname?
All right. We have to wait for someone else.
- Whom? - Whom?
Hai, you’re coming, too?
Didn’t Lu ask us to protect him
and help him absorb nimbuses?
What?
You lied to me?
Ling, calm down.
Listen to me.
I’m about to enter the next phase of training.
When it’s done,
I’ll pick all the valuable herbs for you.
I swear on my name
that I won’t miss one herb, all right?
That’s more like it.
Wang Lu,
so you lied to me about the points
and the criteria a man has to meet
to be Yue Xinyao’s soul mate?
They’re real.
Look, the Magic Pond at Qingyun Peak
is a treasure land that attracts wonderful beasts.
Maybe we may catch, say,
a mammoth.
You can get lots of points.
Really?
Of course.
Besides, listen to me,
the Magic Pond is a hot spring.
Maybe Yue Xinyao
is taking a bath in it.
Wang Lu, you’re so evil.
I’m only 18 years old.
Is it OK to go there?
Wang Lu, I’ve signed my name.
Let's move out.
Butterball.
A young pervert.
Let’s go.
Wang Lu,
I’m worried that you may cause damage
to the Magic Pond at Qingyun Peak.
So I changed the formation outside Qingyun Peak.
Don't blame me for it when you come back.
When we crossed the barrier,
I could feel the vibration of the space.
It must be
the Ice Cave outside of Lingjian Mountain.
How do you know?
It says so.
Ice Cave.
No wonder Yue Yun doesn’t want us to come.
I’ll report him in.
There are rich nimbuses here.
A good spot for you to make breakthroughs.
Well...
It’s not in the territory of Lingjian Mountain.
Could we run into some bad people?
I’m confident with my luck.
I finally find a place full of nimbuses.
I can’t miss it.
Let’s have a try.
Hold on.
Wen Bao,
I have a tough job for you.
What is it?
In a moment while I’m gathering power,
I can’t be disrupted.
So your job is to
make sure of it.
So many beasts. I’m not sure if I can make it.
Take off your boot.
Hurry.
Wang Lu.
Hold it.
That is your weapon.
I’m counting on you.
I can’t bear it. Let’s go.
Wang Lu, I got what you mean.
Trust it on me.
Ling,
in fact, I’ve always wanted to ask you a question.
As a human,
how did you reach Transcendency?
You’ve made us practitioners look bad.
I wonder
if you’re a bastard daughter of the Leader.
Lu.
It’s about a girl’s reputation.
You can’t make groundless speculation.
It’s OK.
I am the bastard daughter of the Leader.
What?
I never wanted to hide it from you.
You never asked.
I had that question long time ago.
A mortal who gives out Xiaoyun coin casually
and has easy access to Lingjian Sect
must have some background.
I’m so smart.
Wang Lu, what’s wrong?
Wang Lu.
I saw the Grand Bone glimmering like gold
and trembling,
like an eruption of power.
Lad, congratulations.
Today will witness your first absorption.
Come on.
Focus.
Guanhai, still nothing
about your family in your travel?
It’s OK.
I believe that one day
I’ll reunite with them.
Guanhai, I’m ashamed.
You trusted me to take care of Qingyun.
But I failed to do so.
Please take the miniature of formation back.
Is it because the incident concerning Wang Wu?
She just picked some herbs from Qingyun.
You don’t have to feel guilty about it.
It seems someone has changed its formation
and sent a few disciples
outside the territory of Lingjian Sect.
Ling!
Are you all right?
Master Feng Yin, calm down.
I can't.
My daughter is not married, yet.
How can she stay so close to Wang Lu?
Wang Lu?
Look, they’re together.
- Wang Lu? - Look.
Don’t speak for him.
- I’ll kill that brat. - How do you feel?
Feng Yin, Feng Yin.
I knew that boy is a trouble.
We have to let him learn the lesson.
Feng Yin,
you’re in charge of Lingjian Sect.
So,
trust this matter with us.
The sense of evil spirit.
I know there are demons.
Stay in my dimension sack.
What is this place?
Could it be your brother who did it?
He released us in the face of our masters
but hunted us down in secret.
Trust me.
It’s me whom he wants to kill.
I won’t drag you into danger.
Don’t jinx it.
If it’s really him,
we’ll let him pay for his crimes.
There’s a demon among you.
When the incense burns out,
it’ll show itself.
Demon?
What makes you say that?
Given what you did,
I think you’re the demon.
Insolent demon,
how dare you? I’m Master Zhifeng.
Wait for my punishment.
Heavenly Thunder, grant me your power.
The sun and the moon, let me see their true faces.
Hai?
I call to heavenly gods.
Hai?
Grant me the Lord’s sword.
Expel the evil away.
Hai? What...
Heaven and earth, according to the rules,
I cast the spell so the evil has nowhere to hide.
Old fool,
release my friends.
Friends?
You call the demons your friends?
Maybe you’re a demon, too.
That’s a slander.
We’re all Lingjian Sect’s disciples.
You still believe we’re demons?
Lingjian Sect’s disciples?
What a coincidence!
I’m on my way to talk about it
with your leader.
Freeze.
Butterball, stay put.
I’ll deal with you later
when I finish your evil friends.
Hai?
Ling,
let’s meditate and check him.
Does the restriction in his body activate again?
Ling?
Ling,
you are the...
It’s not like that.
How can I explain it to you?
In a word,
there’s a
Nine-tail fox sealed in my body.
Nine-tail fox?
That’s a sacred beast existed in ancient times.
It was rarely seen since the Age of Chaos.
The power of Nine-tail fox is equal to immortals.
If it was released,
there would be a disaster in the world.
Since it’s that powerful,
how did they managed to seal it in your body?
Do you know the Universal Seal for Immortals?
Yes.
It’s immortal magic recorded in Star Sword Codes.
You mean
the leader performed the Universal Seal
for Immortals and locked it up in your body?
That’s Naruto’s part.
Who is Naruto?
Nobody.
So,
you were the girl for the sacrifice.
That’s why
all the magic
don’t work on me.
That’s amazing.
You’re just like Miss Suzu.
What are you talking about?
Nothing.
So that’s how you got your name, Feng Ling?
Because you were chosen to be the sacrifice,
you couldn’t become a practitioner.
So you concealed your identity
and to the outside, you denied him as your father.
Right?
I hate him,
not because he made it impossible to practice.
What then?
It’s because he has been guilty
for making me the sacrifice.
He couldn’t forgive himself
and always tried to make it up for me.
Ling!
When you have enough of horse-riding,
let's go back for lunch, OK?
You just want me to go back.
I don’t buy it.
I’m going to ride for 300 more circles.
All right.
Three hundred circles it is.
As many circles as you wish.
Ling!
Do you want to hear a story about
a Nine-tail fox?
No.
It’s amazing.
It has nine tails.
Nine pairs of eyes.
Nine beards,
and each with different colors.
Have you ever seen it?
I can’t imagine the leader’s expression
and the way he said those words.
It’s so funny.
I can’t even stand it.
Ling?
I’m sorry for what you’ve been through.
I know it was hard.
And I had enough of him.
So I moved down the mountain
and opened up an inn,
so that I didn’t have to face him every day.
It made me sick.
However,
he made me vow for it two years ago that
if the inn continued to lose money,
I’d have to move back up on the mountain.
Luckily you showed up and helped me
sell the turnips and made some money.
Because of it,
the old man
had been angry for a month.
So you gave me the Xiaoyun Coin
and forced him to accept me as a disciple.
And I made it to Successor Disciple.
It’s amazing what fate unfolded on us.
I’ve spoken out the secret
in my mind finally.
It makes me feel so good.
Come on.
Do it.
Do what?
What are you doing?
Rather than exposing my identity
under the old fool’s suppression,
I’d choose to die in your hand.
Master!
Do you know where Ling is?
She’s trapped in the sack by the old fool.
Who are you?
How dare you do that in Lingjian Sect?
I’m Master Zhifeng. I try to
help you from Lingjian Sect
clean out the evil,
but the butterball of yours
showed no gratitude
and intended to hurt me.
So ungrateful.
Old fool, who is the evil?
Wang Lu, Hai,
and Ling are good people.
Don’t worry.
The incense is burning out.
My dimension sack
will make the evil expose itself.
Then,
I’d expect your gratitude.
He could sense
the evil in Ling’s body?
Impossible.
Universal Seal for Immortals
is not that easy to break.
Besides, he’s at most at Nascent Soul phase.
It’s impossible to find out the secret.
Maybe it’s pure luck.
Or he makes it up.
Now you’re not talking.
You’re afraid?
If the whole world knows
that there is a demon in Lingjian Sect,
you will become the laughing stock.
The defiance of the immortal world
will make your Lingjian Sect
be eliminated from the five sects forever.
Since you’re so sure about it,
then tell me
what kind of demon you saw.
Demon.
A demon is a demon.
Whatever it is.
Nonsense.
I suggest you think it through.
Who is speaking?
- Who is it? - The leader finally can’t stand it.
If none of them are demons,
that makes your behavior a challenge
to Lingjian Sect.
Do you think you can walk out alive?
Heavens, the leader does spoil his daughter.
I’m impressed how he lies about it.
Amazing.
I admire him.
We’re still in danger.
And you have the mood for jokes.
Just do it.
I don’t want to drag Lingjian Sect in trouble.
Hold on.
I missed something.
A really, really important detail.
What?
You said
it was 30 years ago
when you were chosen to be the sacrifice
to seal Nine-tail fox?
Yes, so what?
That means
you’re actually
in your 30s.
Wang Lu.
Yeah, that’s it.
Ling, don’t stop.
- It’s too late. - Hurry.
Come on.
It's too late.
That’s it.
The demon has shown itself.
Watch now.
See if I was making groundless charges
or you have a demon in your sect
and defile the immortal world?
We’ll have the answer.
Open.
Look, here is the proof.
What are you going to say now?
Look what?
It’s a group practice.
It’s not real?
You’re really a spoiler.
We’re practicing Funny Practice Codes.
What did you do? You took
us in your sack
and took all the fun of it.
How are you going to pay for that?
Insolent boy,
it’s shameless.
Do we have the Funny Practice Codes
in Lingjian Sect?
Master Fang He,
you’re so uninformed.
Funny Practice Codes
is like my master’s bedtime story.
Shut up.
The reputation of Lingjian Sect
is ruined by you.
Wang Lu.
Master!
How dare you?
How dare you steal my bedtime story?
If you have questions,
you can ask me.
I’ll teach you.
We can also find it out in practice.
It’s dangerous to practice on your own.
Wu,
mind your behaviors.
You’re already an indecent woman,
how dare you teach your disciple
to do the same?
Aren’t you ashamed?
Not at all.
Lingjian Sect highlights inclusiveness.
His interest is my interest.
He wants to improve himself.
And I want to help him.
Don’t talk about rules and disciplines all day long.
The path for an immortal is bitter.
Why don’t take some time to enjoy?
Enough.
Since you’ve come here,
let’s deal with our grudges.
Master, you know him?
Come closer.
Not just acquaintances,
we’re foes.
Not my lucky day.
I run into you wherever I go.
You...
What?
Are you going to scare me with Shengjing Sect?
Masters, I’m afraid.
Don’t be.
Sir,
you’re from Shengjing Sect?
My granduncle is Shengjing’s acting leader.
You’ve offended me.
That makes you the enemy of Shengjing Sect.
Acting leader?
Granduncle?
I’m so scared.
Master Zhifeng,
I don’t know what misunderstanding
you have with Wu.
Misunderstanding?
She destroyed the branch
at White Moon of Qianling Sect.
And she ruined over 150 people’s void roots.
How are you going to pay for that?
How about this?
Come with me to Cloud Hall.
Let me question Master Wang Wu.
I’ll make sure you’re satisfied with the result.
OK then.
I have nothing to worry about.
Master!
It seems I’m about to replace you as a master.
Congratulations.
Is that what happened?
Almost.
After all, a girl
has her secrets.
But it’s mostly the case.
If that’s the case,
we’re in a big trouble.
Trouble?
It’s Shengjing Sect who are in trouble .
I can’t believe
the chairman of Immortals Union
did such despicable things.
He colluded with the officials
and cheated with innocent people
into secret human tests.
That’s what demons do.
Fang He,
it’s just a branch of Shengjing Sect
in a small country.
They made no realistic damage.
It’s not that serious.
Why did you say that?
Whether it’s the headquarter or a branch,
however small it can be,
it’s the fact that
they’re from Shengjing Sect.
Nevertheless, we found a corrupted
Nascent Soul master in just a small branch.
Don’t see the problem here?
Besides,
if things
like killing people isn’t considered devilish,
then what can be?
Does it have to be a massacre?
That’s just our side of story.
The thing you need to worry
is how to convince the others.
Who would believe the despicable crimes
like colluding with the officials
that the branch of Shengjing Sect
committed in White Moon?
You were astonished when you heard that.
And you made Wu to take the Oath.
Right?
I know she makes indecent behaviors.
But on this kind of things,
she won’t make jokes about.
I...
I have faith in her.
Fang He,
a friend in need.
Save your tears.
When I deal with Master Zhifeng,
I won’t be lenient with you.
You’re easily
tempered.
All right, let’s stop arguing.
Let’s subject it to Master Feng Yin.
Are you kidding me?
He’s blind.
He can’t even tell
Wang Lu from Wang Zhong.
His decision
would leave me in trouble.
Never mind.
I’ll go to him myself
and confront with that Zhifeng.
Stay right there.
When you get out of here,
go wherever you should.
Why?
Because of your bad temper.
If you take it in your hands,
it’ll end up a death competition.
Don’t scare me with your background
at Shengjing Sect.
Since the stupid matter was between you and me.
Let's put it to a fight.
The winner goes free, and the loser admits it.
Do you have the gut?
