On Heavenly Mystic Peak, breakfast was being fed on one side, while Lin Tianyang, who had just left, could not wait to return and handle an important matter.
Inside an old wooden hut, a young man sat cross-legged on his bed.
“An ordinary Condensed Soul Pill might not be enough to help me break through to the 1st stage Condensed Soul Realm.”
“But I have the Mysterious Jade Purification Bottle.”
Lin Tianyang looked at the pill in his hand and curled his lips slightly.
As he spoke, he took out a blue-and-white jade bottle from a hidden compartment.
He had obtained this Jade Purification Bottle by chance on his way to the Holy Land.
As long as a pill was placed inside, its quality would improve.
Moreover, every once in a while, the bottle would automatically produce a kind of green liquid.
As long as it was consumed, it could improve one’s constitution.
It was precisely because of this Mysterious Jade Purification Bottle that he had achieved his current strength.
Otherwise, with talent as terrible as dog waste, he would likely still be a mere handyman disciple by now.
After finishing, Lin Tianyang looked at the purified Condensed Soul Pill in his hand and once again hid the jade bottle in the secret compartment.
He naturally would not carry such a divine object with him.
Besides, storage rings were high-level treasures that an outer disciple like him could not possibly possess.
“Once I break through to the Condensed Soul Realm and enter the inner sect, my invincible path will be unstoppable.”
At the thought of entering the inner sect, a figure in a light blue dress surfaced in his mind.
“Senior Sister Xi, once I enter the inner sect, I will come find you.”
Thinking of that figure, Lin Tianyang let out a few lewd chuckles.
Senior Sister Xi and Lu Wuchen were disciples of the same peak, and when he was still in the outer sect, she had taken care of him more than once.
Naturally, to repay her kindness, he would visit her first.
When he thought of her delicate and stunning face and graceful figure, he swallowed twice.
He had already decided on a small goal. The first thing he would do upon entering the inner sect would be to win over Senior Sister.
As for his ultimate goal, it was to bring the Saintess of Primordial Dao Holy Land under his command.
Logically speaking, a minor character like him should have had no intersection with the Saintess.
However, by chance, he had once met her briefly.
Although she wore a veil at the time and he could not see her face clearly, her breathtaking beauty and unique aura lingered in his heart.
After parting from her, Lin Tianyang had secretly sworn that he would personally lift that mysterious veil one day.
Seeing that he could not calm his mind and enter meditation, Lin Tianyang frowned and began relieving himself in his own way.
A few seconds later, he let out a long breath, and his mind finally settled.
…
Heavenly Mystic Peak was one of the nine great peaks of Primordial Dao Holy Land.
It was spring all year round. Immortal mist lingered, and spiritual energy was rich. From time to time, cranes could be seen gliding across the sky.
Even at the foot of the mountain, it resembled a paradise on earth.
Yet no matter how beautiful a place was, living there year after year dulled one’s appreciation.
And what truly captivated people was not the scenery, but a Senior Sister who resembled a fairy.
“Senior Sister.”
Lu Wuchen looked at the woman in white before him and greeted her with a smile.
[Name: Liu Ruoxi]
[Identity: Disciple of Heavenly Mystic Peak, Primordial Dao Holy Land]
[Hidden Identity: Female Lead]
[Cultivation: 8th stage Condensed Soul Realm]
[Constitution: Ice Jade Body]
[Description: A remarkable woman skilled in flute and xiao.]
After reading her profile, Lu Wuchen was startled.
Female Lead. As expected, she was the Female Lead.
His guess had been correct. Any beauty who appeared around the Chosen One was either a Female Lead or destined to die.
What he had not expected was that Senior Sister possessed such talent.
He did not believe it unless she personally demonstrated it to him.
“Junior Brother Wuchen, it’s you.”
Seeing him, Liu Ruoxi looked slightly surprised.
In her impression, Lu Wuchen often shut himself in his room to cultivate in seclusion.
“Senior Sister, are you heading out for training?”
Lu Wuchen asked with a gentle smile, though inwardly he muttered that she was practically delivering herself to Lin Tianyang.
“I just accepted a mission to the Blackwater Forest. I’m about to leave.”
“Junior Brother, what about you?”
Liu Ruoxi walked up to him with a smile.
She had heard that her junior brother was quite famous within the Holy Land.
Many senior and junior sisters had cast flirtatious glances at him.
All of them had been rejected.
Moreover, whenever she approached him, she felt strangely drawn to him.
If she had not known that he seemed uninterested in women, she might have long ago taken advantage of proximity.
After all, what woman would not love a handsome, gentle, and exceptionally talented man?
“What a coincidence. I’m also heading to Blackwater Forest to hunt a Human-Faced Demon Spider.”
Lu Wuchen pretended to be surprised.
He would never miss such a perfect opportunity to intercept fate.
“Senior Sister, Human-Faced Demon Spiders are third-rank demonic beasts. I just broke through to the Condensed Soul Realm not long ago and don’t feel entirely confident.”
“I wonder if I may accompany you?”
Lu Wuchen smiled.
Such an opportunity could not be wasted.
“Haha, since it’s the same destination, of course.”
Liu Ruoxi was surprised.
This junior brother, rumored to have certain unusual preferences, had actually taken the initiative to invite her. It was unexpected.
Did that not mean she was the first woman he had personally invited?
At the thought, a trace of excitement stirred in her heart.
“Junior Brother, are you planning to run there?”
Seeing that Lu Wuchen had not summoned a flying sword, Liu Ruoxi looked puzzled.
“Senior Sister, to be honest, I’ve been afraid of heights since childhood. So I’m not very good at flying with a sword.”
Lu Wuchen scratched his head awkwardly.
“Haha, it’s fine. Ride on my sword.”
Liu Ruoxi smiled lightly.
She had heard of mortals fearing heights, but had never expected a cultivator to have the same issue.
She waved her hand and summoned her flying sword.
Sword flight was a skill almost every cultivator mastered after reaching the Condensed Soul Realm.
With it, one could free oneself from walking.
High in the sky, a small black dot swayed unsteadily, like a fighter jet about to crash.
“Junior Brother, could you please stop moving? I’m about to lose control.”
“Senior Sister, I can’t help it. We’re hundreds of meters above the ground. I’m terrified.”
“There’s nothing to hold on to. If my foot slips, I’ll fall and be smashed to pieces.”
Lu Wuchen spoke fearfully.
Standing behind Liu Ruoxi, her long hair brushed against his face. A faint fragrance drifted into his nose from time to time, invigorating him.
“Junior Brother, just grab something and hold still. If you keep shaking like this, we’ll both fall.”
Liu Ruoxi said in exasperation.
With her cultivation, carrying someone was no problem. The key was cooperation.
Suddenly, she felt a warm hand wrap around her slender waist.
The gesture made her body tremble slightly.
Her previously composed face flushed red in an instant.
If Lu Wuchen could see her expression, he would think she resembled a ripe red apple.
“Senior Sister, are you alright? Is your spiritual energy insufficient?”
Seeing her body tremble, Lu Wuchen asked quickly.
“N-no, it’s fine. Just hold on and don’t move.”
Liu Ruoxi responded shyly.
She wanted to scold him, but aside from her, what else could he hold?
So she tacitly allowed it.
After all, her junior brother was supposedly uninterested in women, so it could not be considered taking advantage.
As long as he did not move recklessly.
She had no desire to become the first cultivator in the Holy Land to die in a flying sword accident while carrying a passenger.
