Yuwen Yi hissed in a low voice, “You good-for-nothing, focus on your cultivation and strive to reach the Wanfa Realm as soon as possible to become a true core disciple.”
“Do you think it’s easy for Master Sīyīn to take him as a core disciple and teach him personally? What do you think he’s relying on?”
Jiāng Yìhán numbly nodded, yet he couldn’t help but grumble, “If Yè Wúshuāng is so amazing, what about Qīng Shīyǔ?”
At the sound of this question, Yuwen Yi gave Jiāng Yìhán a stern glare.
Jiāng Yìhán gave a nervous smile and quickly made his escape.
The glare from the Second Master clearly implied that Qīng Shīyǔ was even more extraordinary than Yè Wúshuāng, wasn’t it?
Forget it, forget it.
I’d better leave before I make a fool of myself.
As Jiāng Yìhán departed, Sū Xuányè looked around and said, “This is Master Sīyīn’s order. She has her own plans. Anyone who dares to interfere without reason will be severely punished.”
“Alright, it’s over. Everyone can leave now,” Yuwen Yi also spoke up.
Only then did the crowd gradually disperse.
Sū Xuányè approached Yè Wúshuāng and whispered, “The young master prefers to keep a low profile, and we understand that. But these young whippersnappers, they all have such high expectations.”
“Putting them in their place isn’t a bad idea, to let them know that there are always people better than them and skies beyond the sky.”
Yè Wúshuāng nodded, remaining silent.
Next, Sū Xuányè and Yuwen Yi led Yè Wúshuāng and Qīng Shīyǔ into the interior of Língjiàn Mountain.
“Look over there, young master,” Yuwen Yi said with a smile. “That is the path to the treasure vault of Língjiàn Mountain. Over there is the martial technique library, and beyond that are the spiritual artifact repository, the elixir pavilion, and so on.”
Throughout the journey, Yuwen Yi patiently explained the various locations within Língjiàn Mountain to Yè Wúshuāng.
As one of the seven dominant forces in the Qīngzhōu region, Língjiàn Mountain was home to tens of thousands of disciples and officials, including outer disciples, inner disciples, stewards, outer elders, and inner elders. The distinction between the outer and inner disciples was strictly maintained.
To join the outer disciples, one had to reach the Yuánfǔ Realm before the age of twenty. To enter the inner disciples, one had to achieve the Tiāngāng Realm before turning thirty. And to become a core disciple, one had to reach the Wanfa Realm before the age of twenty-six. It was no wonder, then, that Língjiàn 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 imprint of Master Sīyīn. With them, you can freely enter any place within Língjiàn Mountain. If anyone dares to stop you, simply show them this token!”
“If anyone still dares to obstruct you even 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 Língjiàn Mountain were being excessively kind to Yè Wúshuāng. The privileges granted were so extravagant that it almost felt excessive.
Soon, the group arrived deep within Língjiàn Mountain. Along the way, they saw pavilions, palaces, high towers, birds, beasts, artificial hills, and flowing water, all of which left Qīng Shīyǔ in awe. The materials used to construct the palaces within Língjiàn Mountain were rare even in the Qīngyún 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 Qīngyún Empire, iron rosewood was incredibly precious, a prime material for forging spiritual artifacts. Even the royal family only sparingly used it to craft the emperor’s jade couch. Yet here, it was used to build an entire tower!
There were countless other examples like this. The disciples and elders here rode spiritual beasts, the weakest of which were second-tier, and most were third-tier. Third-tier spiritual beasts were equivalent to the Tiāngāng Realm, and they were incredibly common here.
Qīng Shīyǔ, being the same age as Yè Wúshuāng and just over seventeen, felt her horizons greatly expanded by this visit to Língjiàn Mountain.
Soon, the group came to a halt. Sū Xuányè pointed to a hundred-zhang-tall mountain ahead and said with a smile, “Young master Yè, this will be your residence from now on.”
The mountain was densely forested, with ancient palaces and halls partially hidden among the trees, their red walls and green tiles exuding an antique charm.
Sū Xuányè then pointed to another, even taller mountain shrouded in mist not far away and said, “Master Sīyīn resides over there.”
Living next to the strongest person in Qīngzhōu?
Qīng Shīyǔ felt a sense of exhilaration. Língjiàn Mountain was being incredibly 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 other geniuses in Língjiàn Mountain, such as Qín Mùyǔ, Lǐ Wénqīng, Jì Ōu, and Mù Zǐlǐ, all of whom had reached the early Wanfa Realm by their early twenties. They were no less talented than Yè Wúshuāng, were they?
Yet those four, after being promoted to core disciples, had neither received personal instruction from Master Sīyīn nor been given such excellent living quarters.
But Yè Wúshuāng and Qīng Shīyǔ were being treated with such favoritism!
