276: Prepare

Liu Ruyan said with a smile, "I'm just giving you a brief overview of the Lingyun Sect's situation. You don't need to worry about these matters; your Senior Sister can still handle it."

"The most important thing is always to improve your personal strength. If our Lingyun Sect produces a Saint, all the petty scoundrels will naturally retreat. Junior Brother, I have high hopes for you."

"Among us in the Lingyun Sect, the most likely to become Saints are Master and you."

Lu Xingchen gave a bitter smile and said, "Great Senior Sister, you really think highly of me! I'll do my best."

Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "Alright, I've told you everything I needed to. You can go back and rest. Xu Qing, Li Changbai, who has time? Take Junior Brother to Lingyuan Peak to settle in."

Xu Qing said softly, "It's my duty to help Junior Brother, but I was just teaching a few Disciples Alchemy and only stepped away temporarily. Those Disciples are still waiting for me, so I must go back immediately. Second Senior Brother, I'll leave the task of hosting Junior Brother to you."

Li Changbai nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Junior Brother, follow me!"

Lu Xingchen bowed to Li Changbai and said softly, "Thank you, Second Senior Brother!"

Li Changbai smiled and said, "It's nothing, come with me."

As the three were about to leave, Liu Ruyan suddenly said, "Wait, Junior Brother, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you."

"In our Lingyun Sect, there are two treasures that aid Cultivation, which are the foundation of our Sect. One is called the Soul Nurturing Tower, which Master brought out from a Secret Realm; it can increase the speed of Soul Power Cultivation. The other is called the Eighth-Grade Spirit Gathering Array, also set up by Master, which can increase the speed of Dou Qi Cultivation."

"I can't explain the specific effects clearly, but you'll know once you try them. Just be sure to act within your capabilities. As a Peak Master of the Lingyun Sect, you and Miss Yun Li have full access to these two treasures. After you've handled the affairs of Lingyuan Peak, you must Cultivate diligently."

Lu Xingchen nodded heavily and said softly, "Great Senior Sister, I've noted it."

Liu Ruyan nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Alright, you can go. I also need to go back and Cultivate."

Immediately, Liu Ruyan spread her Dou Qi Wings and flew away from the Martial Arts Field.

Then Xu Qing also left.

Lu Xingchen and Yun Li followed Li Changbai, flying towards Lingyuan Peak.

After half an hour, the three finally arrived at Lingyuan Peak.

The peak was tall and majestic, dotted with a few buildings, and clouds wreathed its summit, like a fairyland on earth.

The three landed directly on the summit. Li Changbai led Lu Xingchen to a courtyard and said with a smile, "The summit is the exclusive territory of the Peak Master. This is the courtyard where the Former Sect Master of Lingyuan Peak lived. Do you need me to help you clean it?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "No need, I'll do it myself. Second Senior Brother, your time is precious, so there's no need to waste it on me."

Li Changbai said softly, "Alright, it will be more comfortable if you arrange your living space yourself. I'll go now. You rest well. I'll come for you at seven tomorrow morning to accompany you to meet the Disciples and Elders of Lingyuan Peak."

Lu Xingchen smiled, "Second Senior Brother, you're too kind."

Immediately, Li Changbai said no more and flew off into the distance.

Lu Xingchen smiled at Yun Li, "Miss Yun Li, since we've become Dao Companions, shouldn't we share a bed? I'll go make the bed in a bit."

Yun Li stomped hard on Lu Xingchen's foot and said coquettishly, "You big pervert, you wish!"

"Before you officially hold the wedding with me, don't even think about touching a single strand of my hair!"

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was slightly stunned.

It wasn't that he didn't want to hold a wedding with Yun Li, but Lin Wanqing's status was too exalted. Once a wedding was held, he would be criticized to death by the Human Race populace.

Miss Yun Li would encounter even greater trouble.

There was no other way but to stall.

Thinking of this, Lu Xingchen felt a little guilty towards Yun Li and didn't dare to mention anything intimate again. He just said softly, "Alright. This courtyard is quite large; you can live next door to me!"

Lu Xingchen spent an hour tidying up and arranging his living quarters. Then he closed the door and began refining Medicinal Pills.

He had given most of the Poji Pill to his father before, and his current stock was running low.

He wanted to arrange one for each of the Disciples of Lingyuan Peak.

After all, he was an airborne appointment, and to quickly establish himself, he had to use both carrots and sticks.

While demonstrating his strength to those Disciples, he also had to give them sufficient benefits.

With Lu Xingchen's identity as a Seventh-Grade Alchemist and his Late Spirit Realm Soul Power, refining Poji Pill was very easy; he could refine one in a quarter of an hour.

Lu Xingchen stayed up all night, spending the entire day refining Poji Pill.

Early the next morning, Li Changbai's voice rang out in the courtyard.

"Junior Brother, I'm here to pick you up! Are you ready?"

Only then did Lu Xingchen put away his primal chaos cauldron (alchemy artifact) and open his door.

Yun Li lived opposite Lu Xingchen, and both opened their doors simultaneously.

Seeing Yun Li's stunning beauty, Lu Xingchen's heart warmed.

What a beautiful girl!

Unfortunately, even though such a beauty belonged to him, she could only be admired from afar, not defiled.

"I must hold the wedding as soon as possible!" Lu Xingchen thought to himself.

Yun Li saw Lu Xingchen's direct gaze, her pretty face flushed slightly, and then she chided, "You big pervert, stop staring!"

Lu Xingchen scratched his head, then turned to look at Li Changbai and said with a smile, "Second Senior Brother, I'm ready."

Li Changbai nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Lu, I must remind you. The former Peak Master of Lingyuan Peak, Peak Master Li Yuan, has high prestige in the Lingyun Sect and is deeply loved by the Disciples and Elders."

"Now that you're taking his place, you might be questioned by the Disciples of Lingyuan Peak, and they might make things difficult for you. You need to be mentally prepared."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "I understand, I'm already prepared!"

"By the way, Third Senior Brother, how exactly did that Peak Master Li Yuan die?"

Li Changbai said in a deep voice, "He led a team on a Secret Realm expedition. His Disciples got into a conflict with Disciples from an Eighth-Rank Sect, which eventually led to a major battle. The Lingyun Sect Disciples were outmatched, and to cover their retreat, he charged into the enemy formation alone and then self-destructed."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen's expression became solemn.

"Second Senior Brother, can you tell me more details? Which Sect killed Peak Master Li Yuan, and who was the person leading their team?"

Li Changbai sighed softly, "I knew you wouldn't be indifferent, Junior Brother. But the person leading that team has the strength of the Venerable Realm, which you cannot contend with right now."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen let out a cold snort.

Venerable Realm, huh?

It's nothing much.

I, Lu Xingchen, have defeated more than one Martial Venerable Expert!

"Third Senior Brother, don't worry, I will definitely plan carefully before acting; I won't throw my life away for nothing!"

Li Changbai sighed again.

"Alright, if one day you decide to seek revenge, give me a shout, and I'll stand by you."
