Yuwen Yi whispered sternly, “You good-for-nothing kid, focus on your cultivation and strive to reach the Myriad Methods Realm as soon as possible to become a true core disciple.”

“Do you think it’s easy for Master Sīyīn to take someone as a core disciple and teach them personally? What makes you think you’re qualified?”

Jiāng Yìhán numbly nodded, but he couldn’t help expressing his discontent, “If Yè Wúshuāng is that amazing, then what about Qīng Shīyǔ?”

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Yi gave Jiāng Yìhán a sharp glare.

Jiāng Yìhán nervously chuckled and quickly made his exit.

The glare from the second master clearly implied that Qīng Shīyǔ was even more extraordinary than Yè Wúshuāng.

Forget it, then.

I’d better leave before I embarrass myself further.

As Jiāng Yìhán departed, Sū Xuányè looked around and said, “This is Master Sīyīn’s order. She must have her reasons. Anyone who dares to question it without cause will be severely punished.”

“Alright, it’s over. Everyone can leave now,” Yuwen Yi also spoke up.

Only then did the crowd around them gradually disperse.

Sū Xuányè approached Yè Wúshuāng and whispered, “The young master wishes to keep a low profile, and we understand that. But these young whippersnappers all have such high expectations of themselves.”

“It’s not a bad idea to bring them down a notch and teach them that there are always people more capable and places more formidable than what they know.”

Yè Wúshuāng nodded, but remained silent.

Next, Sū Xuányè and Yuwen Yi led Yè Wúshuāng and Qīng Shīyǔ deeper into the Lingjian Mountain.

“Look over there, young master,” Yuwen Yi said with a smile, “That’s the path to the Treasure Pavilion of Lingjian Mountain. Over there is the Martial Manual Library, and there are also the Spirit Artifact Repository and the Elixir Pavilion, among others.”

Along the way, Yuwen Yi patiently explained the various locations within Lingjian Mountain to Yè Wúshuāng.

As one of the seven dominant forces in the Qingzhou region, Lingjian Mountain was home to tens of thousands of people, including outer disciples, inner disciples, officials, outer elders, and inner elders.

Outer disciples!

Inner disciples!

There was a strict distinction between the two.

Lingjian Mountain required that those entering the outer disciples must reach the Yuanfu Realm before the age of twenty.

To enter the inner disciples, one had to reach the Tiangang Realm before the age of thirty.

And to become a core disciple, one had to reach the Myriad Methods Realm before the age of twenty-six. It was no wonder, then, that Lingjian Mountain currently had only four core disciples.

Yuwen Yi took out two tokens and handed them to Yè Wúshuāng and Qīng Shīyǔ, saying, “Hold on to these tokens; they signify your status as core disciples.”

“Moreover, these tokens bear the soul essence mark of Master Sīyīn. With them, you can freely enter and exit any place in Lingjian Mountain. If anyone dares to stop you, just show them this token!”

“If anyone still dares to obstruct you after showing this token, the young master can contact me or Sū Xuányè at any time.”

Qīng Shīyǔ took the token somewhat dazedly.

The people of Lingjian Mountain were just too kind to Yè Wúshuāng.

The privileges granted were so excessive that even she felt uncomfortable.

Soon, the group arrived deep within Lingjian Mountain.

Along the way, they saw pavilions, towers, palaces, flying birds, walking beasts, artificial hills, and flowing water, all of which broadened Qīng Shīyǔ’s horizons.

The materials used to build the palaces within Lingjian Mountain were rare even in the Qingyun Empire.

Qīng Shīyǔ saw with her own eyes a tower nearly a hundred zhang tall, entirely made of thousand-year-old iron rosewood.

In the vast Qingyun Empire, iron rosewood was incredibly precious, a fine material for refining spirit artifacts. Even the royal family only sparingly used it to build the emperor’s jade couch.

Yet here, it was used to construct an entire tower!

There were countless other examples like this.

The spirit beasts ridden by the disciples and elders were, at the very least, of the second rank, and most were of the third rank.

Third-rank spirit beasts, equivalent to the Tiangang Realm, were extremely common here.

Qīng Shīyǔ, being the same age as Yè Wúshuāng and just over seventeen years old, felt as if her eyes had been opened by this visit to Lingjian Mountain.

Soon, the group stopped in their tracks.

Sū Xuányè pointed to a hundred-zhang-tall mountain in front of them and said with a smile, “Young master Yè, this will be your residence from now on.”

The mountain, covered in dense trees, revealed glimpses of palatial buildings with red walls and green tiles, exuding an ancient and elegant charm.

Sū Xuányè then pointed to another, even taller mountain nearby, shrouded in mist, and said with a smile, “Master Sīyīn resides over there.”

Living next to the strongest person in Qingzhou?

Qīng Shīyǔ felt a sense of exhilaration.

Lingjian Mountain was just too kind to Yè Wúshuāng!

Even Lǐ Wénbó and Sū Jǐnyuè were baffled.

Yè Wúshuāng did have great talent!

But Lǐ Wénbó and Sū Jǐnyuè believed that there were others within Lingjian Mountain, like Qín Mùyǔ, Lǐ Wénqīng, Jì Ōu, and Mù Zǐlǐ, who were all in their early twenties and had reached the early Myriad Methods Realm. They were also exceptional talents.

Compared to Yè Wúshuāng, they were not inferior, right?

Yet those four, after becoming core disciples, had neither been personally taught by Master Sīyīn nor been given such a fine residence.

But Yè Wúshuāng and Qīng Shīyǔ were just too favored!
