181: Chapter 181 The Eastern Cult Leader, Dongfang Yueying

Inside Sun Moon City!

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed since Su Ling and Qian Miaomiao joined the Sun Moon Sect.

At this time, Qian Miaomiao had already absorbed her fourth spirit ring, becoming a level 41 Spirit Ancestor.

Looking at Qian Miaomiao's favorability, it had successfully reached 95 points.

At night, Qian Miaomiao returned from the Sun Moon Sect's high-level Spirit Master academy. For her, to form a team and find the best teammates, she had to go there.

A large number of young Spirit Masters gathered there.

The number of Spirit Masters between eighteen and twenty-five years old exceeded two thousand, a very large scale.

Actually, this was related to the talent cultivation of the Sun Moon Continent. The Spirit Master academies were all founded by the seven major forces, and there were only seven high-level Spirit Master academies on the continent.

Small places had Elementary Spirit Master academies, larger places had Intermediate ones, and upon reaching the high-level stage, everyone would be concentrated in the core city of a force to ensure that talent would not be lost.

"Brother Su Ling, my team has been officially confirmed today," said Qian Miaomiao.

Su Ling said: "Miaomiao, congratulations. Is it those people you introduced me to that day?"

"Yes, that's them. Those four—two of them are Spirit Ancestors, and two are Spirit Elders. They were just missing someone for main attacks. This way, all three of us on the field will be Spirit Ancestors," Qian Miaomiao said with excitement.

"In five days, it will be the soul fighting competition within the Sun Moon Sect. The captain says we have a chance to break into the top five of the three-person group."

"Is it only the top five?"

"Miaomiao, do you want to go a step further?" Su Ling said.

"Go a step further?"

"Take these Medicinal Pills. They should be able to help you reach level 43 in a short time."

Seeing the bottle Su Ling took out, she remembered that she had taken the Medicinal Pill Su Ling gave her before, and in a short time, she had improved from level 38 to level 40.

"Thank you, Brother Su Ling!" Qian Miaomiao excitedly took it and then threw herself at Su Ling.

"Brother Su Ling!"

Qian Miaomiao ambushed Su Ling's face, then hugged him tightly.

"Alright, Miaomiao, go and Cultivate quickly!" Su Ling said.

"Mm!" Qian Miaomiao responded, then took the Medicinal Pill and went to her own room.

"Hmph, why is Brother Su Ling not more proactive? I have already... But Brother Su Ling is very good."

Qian Miaomiao was muttering to herself on the way back to her room.

Su Ling was speechless. He just didn't want to make a move on Qian Miaomiao so early. This little girl actually complained that he wasn't proactive; it was completely upside down.

[Ding... Qian Miaomiao's favorability +1, obtained Black Treasure Chest *1]

[Ding... Qian Miaomiao's favorability is greater than or equal to 96]

[Bound Goddess: Qian Miaomiao]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 93]

[Current Favorability: 96 (Will never betray, willing to sacrifice everything for you)]

[Binding Effect: Host can obtain 50% of the bound Goddess's daily Cultivation effect, without reducing the bound Goddess's Cultivation speed.]

[Bound Skill 1: Listen to Advice (Can be activated once a day, the bound Goddess has an 80% chance to follow the host's advice)]

[Bound Skill 2: Wealth Prosperity (Passive skill, when Qian Miaomiao is by the host's side, it can increase the host's wealth luck by 60%!)]

[Bound Skill 3: Perception (When Qian Miaomiao encounters danger within one thousand meters of the host, the host can perceive her location immediately)]

[Bound Skill 4: Fusion (Cast Martial Soul Fusion Skill by integrating into the host's body, can be stacked with other Goddesses)]

"Huh, has it already reached 96 points of favorability?"

"Complaining that I'm not proactive! You just wait for me." Su Ling had already made a decision in his heart. He originally wanted to wait for a period of time, but now it seemed unnecessary. It just so happened that he hadn't accumulated good treasure chests during this period.

Forget it, let's go out for a stroll.

What is going on with this Sun Moon Sect? Are there really no Goddesses better than Qian Miaomiao?

Recently, when Su Ling had nothing to do, he would wander around Sun Moon City, hoping for a chance encounter, and he had also been to the Sun Moon Sect's high-level Spirit Master academy.

It was a pity that there were Goddesses, but none of their comprehensive values exceeded Qian Miaomiao's. The highest one was only 92, and most were 90 or 91.

For example, the other four women in Qian Miaomiao's team—one was 92, one was 91, and two were 90. These didn't pique Su Ling's interest.

Taking down a Goddess was equivalent to adding a responsibility to himself.

Not only did he have to help the Goddess improve, but in the future, he also had to help her become a god as much as possible. If she couldn't become a god, that would be a regret.

"Right, tonight I'll go see that so-called Sun Moon Sect Leader."

Speaking of this Sun Moon Sect Leader, it was quite interesting. Su Ling found out that the Sun Moon Sect Leader was a woman with the compound surname Dongfang.

As for her appearance, no one had seen it because she always wore a veil, which was quite mysterious.

Besides that, there was the Saintess named Ren Yingying, who was hailed as the Sun Moon Sect's number one Goddess.

After wandering around, Su Ling decided to go and see for himself tonight.

The night passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was early morning. Su Ling walked out of his room and then disappeared into the night.

Crossing street after street, Su Ling arrived at the core area of the Sun Moon Sect.

A high mountain about eight or nine hundred meters tall, with beautiful scenery from the foot to the top.

In a city, having such a beautiful and special mountain peak was certainly not ordinary.

In Sun Moon City, everyone called this mountain the Sun Moon Sacred Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain was a river thirty meters wide, and soldiers were standing all around it.

The Sun Moon Sacred Mountain was a place where only the Sect Leader, the Saintess, Elders, and core members of the Sun Moon Sect could live. Official members like Su Ling didn't even have the qualifications to enter.

"Huh, this Sun Moon Sacred Mountain is actually within a large Formation."

Su Ling observed for a circle and used his Mental Energy to explore. This large mountain should be formed by the combination of countless spirit tools.

If ordinary people touched this defensive Formation, there would definitely be an alarm.

For ordinary people, there was no way, but for Su Ling, getting in was very simple.

Su Ling released a pair of wings behind him and then activated the skill, Teleportation.

After Teleportation, ignoring space, the distance was one hundred meters.

The next moment, Su Ling arrived in the jungle on the mountain, put away the Void Wind-Thunder Wings behind him, and continued to head up the mountain.

Coming to the Sun Moon Continent was just for Goddesses and spirit tools. He didn't have many clues about attack-type spirit tools yet, and Su Ling also wanted to see the Goddesses.

[Ding... Detected a Goddess with a comprehensive value exceeding 90 within 500 meters of the host!]

[Goddess: Ren Yingying]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 93]

[Binding Requirement: Favorability above 60]

[Current Favorability: Unknown]

"Isn't this that Saintess? Becoming a Spirit Emperor at thirty, her talent is considered okay, similar to Teacher Qin Ming of the Douluo Continent, which is also not bad."

Centred on the 500-meter radius, Su Ling used his Mental Energy to explore, and soon discovered a woman who looked to be in her twenties in a room in an independent courtyard.

"Is this the Saintess? Her appearance is not bad."

Overall, the Saintess's beauty was not bad, but she looked about the same as Miaomiao. It was just that the Saintess's status was there, giving her a certain bonus. Coupled with the fact that she rarely appeared, she became more and more mysterious in rumors.

Su Ling actually had high expectations for this Saintess, but after seeing her, he felt a little disappointed.

"That is... why is there another man lying on... damn... no, it's two men! This Saintess... is quite proactive."

A big show was unfolding, and Su Ling immediately lost interest in this Saintess.

Forget it, let's go see that legendary Sect Leader. Hopefully, she won't be like this too.

Su Ling disappeared from his spot with a Teleportation and quickly climbed to the top of the mountain.

It was said that the top of the mountain was where Sect Leader Dongfang lived. Before he even arrived, the System's voice sounded again.

[Ding... Detected a Goddess with a comprehensive value exceeding 90 within 500 meters of the host!]

[Goddess: Luo Qin]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 92]

[Binding Requirement: Favorability above 60]

[Current Favorability: Unknown]

[... Goddess: Dongfang Yueying]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 97]

[Binding Requirement: Favorability above 60]

[Current Favorability: Unknown]

"Huh, finally there is a good Goddess."

Su Ling finally found a good Goddess. With a comprehensive value of 97, she definitely wouldn't be bad.

He hoped this one wouldn't disappoint him.

Su Ling flashed and appeared on a large tree with lush branches and leaves on the top of the mountain, two hundred meters away from the courtyard in front. He activated both his Mental Energy and Eye of True Sight.

Then he saw the situation in the room.

Although it was late at night, both women had not rested yet.

One woman should be Luo Qin. Her beauty was worthy of the 92 Goddess comprehensive value. Her age should be over thirty, but she looked very young, looking like she was in her twenties.

Looking at the other woman sitting in the main seat, she was wearing a veil on her face.

Su Ling looked over with his Eye of True Sight. After all, his Eye of True Sight had the function of seeing through, so he could easily see the other person's appearance.

However, today, his Eye of True Sight actually didn't see through it.

Although he couldn't see her true face, Su Ling could observe her whole state. Her figure was quite good, and her height was estimated to be around 1.75 meters.

She was wearing a luxurious long dress, her hair was coiled up, revealing her white, jade-like neck. He could basically only see her eyes.

Yet just one eye was enough to attract countless people, making even Su Ling feel a sense of heartthrob.

Her eyes were like stars immersed in clear light, flowing with a spirituality untainted by dust.

Clearly, she was just quietly looking at the pages of a book, but the natural curve of the corners of her eyes seemed to contain fine light, focused and serious with a unique charm. Just letting people take one look made Su Ling unable to help but want to lift her veil to see her true appearance.

"Sect Leader, it is very late, please go and rest." Luo Qin guarded by her side; she should be the maid type for Dongfang Yueying.

"Luo Qin, you have been following me since you were twelve years old. It has been more than twenty years today. How many times have I told you, just call me sister when there is no one else around," Dongfang Yueying said in a low voice.

Su Ling could naturally hear the voice coming from here. All of this was under his Mental Energy coverage, and they couldn't detect Su Ling's existence.

Dongfang Yueying's voice was very pleasant, like moonlight, clear and gentle, with a serene power.

"Sect Leader, etiquette cannot be discarded, no matter where or when it is the same," Luo Qin said with a serious face.

"Sect Leader, the Saintess... she fell ill again tonight."

Speaking of the Saintess, Dongfang Yueying also showed a hint of helplessness in her eyes and said: "Yingying has her own suffering. Only in this way can she get rid of the pain of her Spirit defect. Let her be. After all, she is the teacher's child..."

Dongfang Yueying's teacher?

Su Ling knew a little about this. According to the information Qian Miaomiao gave, it was said that Dongfang Sect Leader's teacher was the former Sun Moon Sect Leader.

Unexpectedly, this Ren Yingying had this background, and her Spirit had a problem? Could it be similar to Ma Hongjun's?

"Luo Qin, did a Disciple with great potential come to the Sect before? Called... called Su Ling, right? The Second Elder mentioned him to me, and I asked you to collect his information. How did the collection go?"

Only mentioned me?

Logically speaking, the talent Su Ling displayed should have been valued upon arriving at the Sun Moon Sect. But what was the result?

He had been here for over a month, and no one had come to see him, as if they had forgotten about him.

In fact, in the Sun Moon Sect, Disciples under thirty were in a free-range state. They could enter the Sun Moon Sect's high-level Spirit Master academy to learn, and there was no forced contribution to the Sun Moon Sect.

Of course, if you were over twenty-five and didn't want to stay in the academy, you could officially enter the various halls of the Sun Moon Sect.

Once you were over thirty, you were forced to start working.

After all, having cultivated for so long without using them, that certainly wouldn't do.

Before twenty-five, you could improve your own value through team competitions. If your value was high, your status and position in the Sun Moon Sect after graduation would have a high starting point.

After twenty-five, you could only improve yourself through individual battles.

Su Ling had already turned twenty-six within this month, and he had displayed level 57 Soul Power. Logically speaking, he should have been valued, but in reality, no one paid attention to him, which surprised him.

Su Ling wanted to see what this Dongfang Yueying would say.

At this moment in the room, Luo Qin also began to recount Su Ling's deeds.

"Sect Leader, this Su Ling came from the sea more than a month ago. He was dressed differently. First, he went to the bank in Haifeng Town to exchange for gold coins, and later he got to know Qian Miaomiao in Haifeng Town."

"According to what Su Ling himself said, he went to sea to Cultivate with his teacher when he was very young, and now he has just returned. He doesn't know the situation on the continent, and because Qian Miaomiao wanted to come to the Sun Moon Sect, he followed."

"Su Ling is twenty-five years old, his Spirit is the Primordial War Bow, and he has level 57 Soul Power. Both his Spirit and Soul Power talents are top-notch. His combat power, according to the Second Elder, is the best among his peers. If he participates in this soul fighting competition, the top ten is absolutely no problem, and it is even possible to win the top three. In the Sect, he is definitely at the five-star Spirit King level, possessing the ability to fight across levels."

"After entering our Sun Moon City, he has kept a low profile. He hasn't been to the Spirit Master academy many times. He either stays at home or wanders around the city, tasting delicious food."

"These two days, he could have gone to assess for a five-star Spirit King promotion, but he seems to have no interest in this star level improvement at all."

Luo Qin said everything about Su Ling in one breath.

Dongfang Yueying's eyes didn't change after hearing this.

So she said: "Luo Qin, you go and arrange it. Tomorrow I want to go and meet this Su Ling. If he is really so excellent, if he can win the top three in the competition in the future, I can consider taking him as a Disciple."

"Ah? Sect Leader, do you want to add a Saint to the Sun Moon Sect?" Luo Qin said in surprise. Generally speaking, it was impossible for the Sun Moon Sect to have both a Saint and a Saintess at the same time.

Because both the Saint and the Saintess were successors to the future Sect Leader of the Sun Moon Sect.

Once two appeared, it was easy for disputes to arise within the Sect, just like an Empire could not have two Crown Princes at the same time.

"Luo Qin, do you think Yingying is capable of being the Sect Leader?"

"Sect Leader, the maid dare not say," Luo Qin lowered her head and said.

At this moment, Dongfang Yueying sighed helplessly and then said: "Appointing her as the Saintess was the teacher's last wish."

"If she can solve her physical problems, it doesn't matter, but... sigh... remember this, it must never be spread out, you know?" Dongfang Yueying looked over coldly.

Luo Qin immediately saluted and said: "Sect Leader, please rest assured, the maid will absolutely not spread it out, nor will it reach a third person's ears."

"Remember, we are sisters. I have always treated you as a younger sister, so don't be so constrained. I am just reminding you," Dongfang Yueying said lightly.

"Alright, it is getting late, it is time to rest."

Closing the pages of the book, Dongfang Yueying got up and disappeared from the room. A moment later, she appeared on the roof outside the house and began to detect the situation around her.

After a while, Dongfang Yueying frowned slightly and whispered: "I felt like someone was peeping at me just now. Could it be an illusion?"
