79: Chapter 79 Let me vent my anger!

Pure white auspicious clouds pierced through layers of clouds and mist, and the full view of Zixia Peak gradually unfolded before their eyes.

Baili Yunche stood atop the auspicious clouds, overlooking the scenery below, and could not help holding his breath.

Zixia Peak truly lived up to being one of the nine major peaks of the Xuanyang Sect. Viewed from afar, the entire mountain was enveloped in a layer of mysterious purple halo, dreamy and illusory.

That purple light was not refracted sunlight, but the light of the Spiritual Vein naturally emanating from the depths of the mountain body.

It was said that a Tier 4 Spiritual Vein was buried beneath Zixia Peak. The Spiritual Qi was so dense to the extreme that it turned into purple spiritual mist that billowed upwards and never dissipated all year round, hence the name.

The peak soared into the clouds, and at the waist of the mountain, a sea of clouds surged, layering like white cotton wadding.

Above the sea of clouds, a few immortal cranes occasionally fluttered past, their wings as white as snow, with a speck of crimson on their heads, letting out clear and resonant cries.

Further away, a few rare five-colored spiritual deer could be seen drinking water by the mountain stream, crystal-clear dew hanging on their antlers, shimmering with seven-colored light under the reflection of the purple light.

In the mountains, ancient trees towered into the sky, with verdant pines and cypresses, and exotic flowers and rare herbs could be seen everywhere.

Baili Yunche even recognized several rare Spirit Medicine recorded in the alchemy book given by Su Bingqing—Bi-luo Lingzhi, Ziyun Flower, Jade Marrow Grass... These Spirit Medicines, which were rare to see in the outside world, grew everywhere here like weeds.

"We have arrived."

Peak Master Luo Yunshang parted her red lips slightly, and the auspicious clouds slowly descended, landing on a platform halfway up the mountain.

Baili Yunche took a deep breath, feeling an extremely dense stream of Spiritual Qi rush into his body through his nasal cavity. Every pore on his entire body stretched out, bringing an indescribable comfort.

This was not his first time coming to Zixia Peak.

The last time was when he came with Liu Ruyan, but that time they only reached halfway up the mountain and did not catch a glimpse of the full view of Zixia Peak.

Now standing above the waist of the mountain and looking around, he truly felt the majesty and spiritual elegance of this main peak.

"Let's go, Revered Master will take you to your residence."

Peak Master Luo Yunshang said, turning around and walking towards a patch of emerald bamboo sea, and Baili Yunche quickly followed.

Walking through a bamboo path of about a hundred zhang, the view suddenly opened up before them.

An exquisite small courtyard quietly sat beside an emerald-green lake.

The courtyard wall was woven from green bamboo, covered with light purple rattan, blooming with clusters of delicate little flowers.

Hanging on the courtyard gate was an antique wooden plaque inscribed with three graceful large characters—Qixia Pavilion.

Pushing open the courtyard gate, a fresh and elegant faint fragrance rushed towards their faces.

In the courtyard was a path paved with cobblestones, leading to a two-story small building in the center.

The small building had flying eaves and carved beams, and although not gorgeous, it exuded a quiet and elegant charm.

Behind the courtyard was a pool of emerald-green lake water, clear to the bottom, where cobblestones at the bottom of the lake and swimming spiritual fish could be seen.

Several water lilies floated on the lake surface, their leaves like jade plates and flowers as white as jade, emitting a faint fluorescent glow.

Baili Yunche stood in the courtyard, listening to the sound of flowing water and birds chirping coming from afar.

The Spiritual Qi here was even denser than the outside world, having condensed into visible purple spiritual mist. Taking a gentle breath, he could feel the magic power in his body twitching slightly.

"This Qixia Pavilion will be your residence on Zixia Peak from now on."

Peak Master Luo Yunshang's voice was pleasant and melodious, like a clear spring in the mountain stream.

"The grade of the Spiritual Vein here is as high as Tier 3 High Grade, and the density of Spiritual Qi is sufficient to support you to Cultivate to the Late Stage Golden Core without worrying about a Bottleneck."

Baili Yunche's heart shook.

Tier 3 High Grade Spiritual Vein!

Throughout the entire Xuanyang Sect, apart from the Immortal Caves of the peak Revered Masters of various major peaks, cultivation grounds of this grade could be counted on one's fingers.

With such a cultivation environment, his cultivation speed could be at least thirty percent faster!

Peak Master Luo Yunshang took out two tokens from her sleeve and handed them to Baili Yunche.

One token was pitch-black throughout and felt heavy in the hand. The front of the token was engraved with four ancient seal scripts reading "Core Disciple", while the back was engraved with densely packed Formation patterns.

"This black token is your Core Disciple identity token, on which the Formation and Restriction of the Immortal Cave are recorded."

"After activating it with magic power, you can control all the Restrictions of Qixia Pavilion. This includes the protective courtyard Formation, spirit-gathering Formation, warning Formation, and so on."

The other token was purple, of superior texture, and felt warm and smooth to the touch like jade.

"This purple token is Revered Master's sound-transmission token, take it."

"Revered Master's Immortal Cave is at the very peak. You can contact Revered Master through this token if you have any matters."

"A special Restriction has been recorded on this token by Revered Master. In the future, if you encounter danger outside that you cannot handle, you only need to crush it, and Revered Master will be able to rush to your side within an hour."

Baili Yunche received the two tokens with both hands and stroked them carefully.

The black token was casually stowed away into his Storage Pouch—although important, it was nothing more than an identity credential.

What truly moved his heart was the purple token given by Revered Master.

This was practically equivalent to a death-exempt golden token!

Within an hour, Revered Master of the Nascent Soul Stage could arrive!

This meant that in the future when traveling outside, as long as he didn't offend those old monsters of the Nascent Soul Stage, he could basically swagger unhindered!

It truly was nice to enjoy the cool shade under a big tree!

Baili Yunche felt a myriad of emotions in his heart.

This Revered Master not only looked beautiful, but was also so good to him.

Having such a Revered Master, he must properly repay her in the "future".

He swallowed secretly and quickly suppressed this improper thought.

Right at this moment, a graceful cyan figure floated over from the depths of the bamboo forest.

The newcomer wore a cyan skirt, with a graceful figure and a delicate, picturesque face, carrying a full charm between her brows.

It was precisely Liu Ruyan.

She walked gracefully to the front, bowed slightly to Peak Master Luo Yunshang, and said in a crisp voice, "Revered Master."

Peak Master Luo Yunshang nodded and introduced, "Baili Yunche, this is Liu Ruyan, Revered Master's head Disciple. From today onwards, she will be your Eldest Senior Sister."

Baili Yunche's lips curved up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "Senior Sister Liu, we meet again."

Peak Master Luo Yunshang was slightly stunned, her beautiful eyes sweeping between the two: "You... know each other?"

Liu Ruyan's heart skipped a beat, but her expression didn't show the slightest change as she answered first: "Yes, Junior Brother Baili and I had a chance encounter in the Sunset Mountain Range."

Baili Yunche also hurriedly explained: "Back then when I was being hunted down by a Yao Beast in the Sunset Mountain Range, Senior Sister Liu helped me out of the siege. Thanks to her, I managed to save my life."

He spoke with a straight face, but inwardly he chuckled.

More than just a chance encounter?

That was a deep and thorough friendship!

They knew each other down to the roots, knowing each other's depth...

Peak Master Luo Yunshang had no doubts and nodded slightly: "Since you are already familiar with each other, that's even better."

She looked at Liu Ruyan, "Ruyan, later you take Baili Yunche around Zixia Peak and let him get familiar with the environment."

"Yes, Revered Master." Liu Ruyan responded obediently.

Baili Yunche stood aside with a smile lingering on his lips, a trace of cunning flashing in his eyes.

Familiar with the environment?

He and Liu Ruyan were more than just familiar—they had already had negative-distance contact, familiar to the point of utter familiarity.

After Peak Master Luo Yunshang finished giving her instructions, her slender figure rose gracefully, turning into a purple streak of light as she flew towards the peak of Zixia Peak, disappearing into the clouds and mist in the blink of an eye.

The moment Peak Master Luo Yunshang's figure disappeared from view, Baili Yunche could no longer hold back.

He turned around abruptly, pulled Liu Ruyan into his arms with one grab, and threw himself forward impatiently.

"Ruyan—Revered Master has already told us to get well acquainted, so naturally we must quickly get acquainted!"

"Ah—!"

Taken by surprise, Liu Ruyan was hit squarely. With a cry of alarm, her body lost balance, and the two of them fell together onto the grass in the courtyard.

The fragrance of freshly turned soil and green grass mixed together, which wasn't unpleasant after all.

"Be careful!" Liu Ruyan lowered her voice and said coquettishly, though her beautiful eyes hid a hint of a smile, "Revered Master hasn't even gone far yet!"

"Who cares about her!" Baili Yunche buried his face in the crook of her neck and took a deep breath,

"So what if she knows? Back then, in order to recruit me to Zixia Peak, she even deliberately used you as bait!"

"Saying something like 'a waterfront pavilion gets the moonlight first', isn't this obviously matchmaking us?"

Liu Ruyan was rubbed so soft all over by him that her voice carried a hint of trembling: "You... stop talking nonsense, Revered Master was... was just joking..."

"Whether she was joking or not, I don't know, but I know—I'm about to suffocate now!"

Baili Yunche raised his head, his eyes carrying a bit of burning heat.

"Just now Revered Master was right beside me, and that faint fragrance made the Pure Yang Holy Body in my body restless to the extreme; the wicked fire can barely be suppressed anymore! Quick... quickly vent the fire for me first!"

After finishing, he no longer cared about anything else and directly stripped off his clothes.

Looking at his eager appearance, Liu Ruyan's lips curled into a helpless yet pampering smile.

She rolled up her dark hair, pinned it with a jade hairpin, slightly opened her sandalwood mouth, and then silently lowered her head...

Baili Yunche tilted his head back against the grass, a look of intoxication on his face, and slowly closed his eyes.

The mountain wind blew through the bamboo sea, rustling, masking those ambiguous sounds in the courtyard.
