A young man, clad in a form-fitting martial robe with a pattern of a rising blue cloud embroidered on the shoulder, stood before an elder. This emblem was the mark of a disciple from the Blue Cloud Academy.
This is the symbol of the Blue Cloud Academy’s disciples!
“Yuan’er…”
Seeing the young man, Sheng Wuwei chuckled and said, “Why have you returned? Your father is fine…”
The young man approached Sheng Wuwei and, noticing his father’s pale complexion, felt a pang of heartache. “The Blue Cloud Pavilion has gone too far. How dare Mu Junli lay a hand on you? Our Saint Dan Sect will never swallow this insult.”
“Mu Junli has the backing of the Giant Sword Sect, while we have the Saint Dan Sect. Why should we fear them?”
“Yuan’er…” Sheng Wuwei tried to persuade him, “I have already reported this matter to the sect. I believe we will receive a response soon.”
“Your priority now is to focus on your cultivation at the Blue Cloud Academy. Once you reach the Heavenly Gang Realm, you will be able to return to the sect.”
“All my life, I have hoped that you will one day become an elder of our Saint Dan Sect!”
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yuan hurriedly replied, “Father, rest easy. I am currently ranked on the Blue Cloud Academy’s Cloud-Treading List, and I am not far from the Yuanfu Realm…”
“Good son!”
Sheng Yuan continued with a smile, “I heard that Sheng Shaoqing was defeated by a young man named Ye Wushuang?”
At the mention of Ye Wushuang, Sheng Wuwei’s expression darkened, and he snorted, “It was this little brat who caused Sheng Shaoqing’s death.”
Sheng Shaoqing’s death in the Blue Cloud Empire was known to the sect to be the work of Mu Junli, but Sheng Wuwei would surely face punishment. After all, he was the beloved son of Master Shengxuan!
At this moment, Sheng Yuan smiled and said, “Father, don’t worry. I have received news that Ye Wushuang is a new student who entered the Blue Cloud Academy through this year’s assessment.”
“In nine days, it will be the time for all the disciples of the Blue Cloud Academy to report in.”
“At that time, the academy will lead the new students to undergo a trial in the Lingyun Mountains. In previous years, these trials were always recorded by senior students and academy mentors.”
“I have already applied to be one of those responsible for recording. When that time comes, if Ye Wushuang is ‘accidentally’ killed by a spiritual beast in the mountains, it would be a very normal occurrence.”
Upon hearing this, Sheng Wuwei’s expression brightened, and he immediately said, “Very good, very good! But be careful not to be discovered, and take care of your own safety as well.”
“Don’t worry, Father,” Sheng Yuan replied confidently. “Ye Wushuang seems not to have reached the Condensing Meridian Realm yet. I am already a ninth-tier Condensing Meridian expert. Killing him will be as easy as turning over one’s hand.”
“He deserves to die for causing you such a severe injury.”
The father and son shared a knowing smile.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the morning of the fourth day, Ye Wushuang opened the door of the alchemy chamber, stretched his limbs, and looked somewhat languid, though the fatigue in his eyes could not be concealed.
“Master Ye.”
A guard immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, “The young lady has instructed that once Master Ye finishes alchemy, if you wish to eat something, just let us know.”
“The room for rest is also ready.”
Ye Wushuang then said, “Take me to the room and prepare some food casually.”
“Yes.”
“Oh, by the way,” Ye Wushuang pointed to the alchemy chamber and said with a smile, “Tian You is inside. You don’t need to disturb him.”
“Understood.”
Led by the guard, Ye Wushuang arrived at the second floor of the Blue Cloud Pavilion. He greeted his uncle and mother, and then checked on Xiao Yuan and Feifei before returning to his own room.
After three days of explaining to Tang Tianyou and alchemy, the mental strain had been significant. However, this kind of exhaustion was not entirely detrimental. The great mental exertion had, in fact, further promoted the improvement of Ye Wushuang’s cultivation. Within these three days, Ye Wushuang had finally crossed the boundary of the Physical Refining Realm and reached the first tier of the Meridian Condensing Realm!
Upon entering the room, Ye Wushuang truly needed to rest. However, upon seeing the wooden tub in the bedroom with steam rising, he smiled, removed his clothes, and sat down in the tub. Mu Qiqi had indeed prepared everything thoughtfully.
But just as Ye Wushuang sat in the tub, enjoying the soothing sensation of the hot water, the door was suddenly flung open, and a graceful figure rushed in…
“Ye Wushuang, are the pills already refined?”
Mu Qiqi burst into the room and strode directly into the bedroom. Upon seeing Ye Wushuang sitting in the wooden tub, taking a bath, her face turned red instantly, and she froze on the spot.
