Lu Yi was stunned when he heard this and widened his eyes in surprise. "Conditions? What conditions? Even Senior Sister Donggong, who has an innate spiritual body, isn''t qualified?"


    "Who said I''m not qualified?" Donggong Mingyue glared at Lu Yi, puffing her cheeks slightly in defiance. "I just need a bit more time, that''s all!"


    At this point, she paused and then said, "As for the specific conditions, you''ll know when you meet the Peak Master."


    Although Lu Yi was curious, since Donggong Mingyue didn''t elaborate, he couldn''t press further. He decided to wait until he met the Ling Luo Peak Master to find out.


    At this moment, Donggong Mingyue asked curiously, "By the way, how long did it take you to comprehend the spell during the entrance assessment? It only took me half an hour~"


    As she spoke, Donggong Mingyue''s delicate face showed a hint of pride. "We should be fellow disciples, so if you have any questions about spells in the future, feel free to ask me. I''ll make sure to guide you well!"


    She even patted Lu Yi''s shoulder, acting as if she had everything under control.


    Lu Yi smiled sheepishly and replied, "It took me half an hour."


    Donggong Mingyue''s smile froze instantly. "???"


    "H-Half an hour?!" Donggong Mingyue''s already large eyes widened even more, her small mouth slightly open, looking inexplicably cute.


    Lu Yi nodded. "Yes."


    Donggong Mingyue looked shocked. "If that''s true, doesn''t that mean your comprehension is even better than Senior Sister Ningshuang''s?!"


    Lu Yi chuckled. "I don''t know if it''s better than Senior Sister Ningshuang''s, but my assessment result was half an hour."


    Donggong Mingyue''s face flushed red. Earlier, she had confidently said he could come to her for guidance, but now it turned out Lu Yi''s comprehension was even better than hers?!


    What was with this guy''s comprehension?! Wasn''t this a bit too ridiculous?!


    Feeling a bit embarrassed and unwilling to accept defeat, she said, "Hmph! Your comprehension is decent, huh? No wonder you''re my future junior brother! But your cultivation talent still can''t compare to mine! Overall, I''m still better!"


    Seeing Donggong Mingyue''s awkward yet stubborn demeanor, Lu Yi couldn''t help but laugh. He responded seriously, "Senior Sister Donggong''s cultivation talent is naturally unmatched. I still have much to learn from you."


    Hearing this, Donggong Mingyue''s eyes lit up. She placed her hands on her hips, looking extremely proud, and nodded. "Junior Brother Lu Yi, you''re not bad either. With your comprehension, when I ascend to immortality, I''ll definitely help you overcome tribulations!"


    Lu Yi grinned. "Thank you, Senior Sister Donggong."


    "You''re welcome. As your senior sister, it''s only right for me to take care of you." Donggong Mingyue smiled so brightly that her eyes squinted.Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.


    Lu Yi smiled and said, "Senior Sister is truly kind!"


    "Of course!"


    At this moment, Lu Yi remembered something.


    He was about to meet the Ling Luo Peak Master. Could he possibly trigger a mission?


    He wondered in his heart, "I need to meet the Ling Luo Peak Master."


    Suddenly, words appeared on his interface.


    [Mission]


    Meet the Ling Luo Peak Master.


    Reward: 10 drops of Hundred-Year Spirit Milk.


    Accept? Yes/No


    Lu Yi was overjoyed—there really was a mission!


    And the reward was actually 10 drops of Hundred-Year Spirit Milk.


    This was the first time Lu Yi had received such a large amount of Hundred-Year Spirit Milk as a reward in one go, and all he had to do was meet the Ling Luo Peak Master.


    Previously, sparring with Senior Brother Jiang Fan had earned him only one drop of Hundred-Year Spirit Milk after much effort! The difference was too drastic.


    Happily accepting the mission, Lu Yi continued chatting with Donggong Mingyue as they ascended the mountain, listening to her describe Ling Luo Peak along the way.


    Ling Luo Peak was extremely high, and from halfway up, clouds began to gather. Logically, the temperature should have dropped sharply.


    However, the surroundings remained as warm as spring. Green trees, lush grass, and flowing streams lined the stone steps, creating a picturesque and fairy-like atmosphere.


    The main peak of Ling Luo was home to elders and core disciples, but since there were few members on the peak, the residences were very scattered and far from the main path. Without Donggong Mingyue''s introduction, Lu Yi wouldn''t have known.


    As they climbed higher, Lu Yi noticed more rare plants and herbs, and the spiritual energy became extremely dense.


    Donggong Mingyue explained, "From here on, even the elders don''t have residences. Only the Peak Master, Senior Sister Ningshuang, and I live here."


    Lu Yi was surprised and looked up. There was still a long way to the summit.


    He asked, "Why? Isn''t there still a lot of space up there? Can''t the elders establish residences higher up?"


    Donggong Mingyue''s expression turned slightly odd. "Um... You''ll find out the reason later."


    Lu Yi: "??"


    Seeing Donggong Mingyue''s strange expression, Lu Yi felt like something was off.


    Could there be something wrong with the Ling Luo Peak Master?


    It shouldn''t be, right? After all, she was the most talented person in the White Cloud Sect. If there were any issues, the sect would surely go all out to resolve them.


    Deciding not to overthink it, Lu Yi followed Donggong Mingyue until they reached the summit.


    The spiritual energy here was so dense that just taking a deep breath caused a slight change in Lu Yi''s cultivation. He was utterly amazed.


    Looking around, he also noticed many rare treasures—some he had read about in books, and others he didn''t even recognize.


    At the summit, there was a bamboo forest, and beside it stood an exquisite bamboo house with a small pond nearby.


    The pond was filled with water, and mist floated above it.


    A hot spring? At such a high altitude, there was actually a hot spring?


    Moreover, the spring exuded dense spiritual energy, and the water clearly wasn''t ordinary.


    Lu Yi was deeply impressed. The Ling Luo Peak Master certainly knew how to enjoy life.


    Following Donggong Mingyue, he approached the bamboo house. Donggong Mingyue respectfully called out, "Peak Master, I brought Junior Brother Lu Yi."


    Lu Yi looked at the bamboo house, feeling a bit nervous. He was about to meet the legendary figure of the White Cloud Sect.


    But to his surprise, after a moment, there was no response from inside the bamboo house.


    Lu Yi glanced at Donggong Mingyue in confusion. Where was the person?


    Donggong Mingyue, however, seemed used to it. She called out again, "Peak Master, I brought you your favorite Magnolia Pastries."


    As soon as she finished speaking, a fragrant breeze wafted by. Before Lu Yi realized it, a figure appeared in front of him, as if she had been there all along.


    Lu Yi''s heart skipped a beat, and he broke into a cold sweat. He was nearly scared to death.


    A ghost?!


    He examined the figure in front of him—a woman in a simple white dress.


    Her black hair draped over her shoulders, and her face was stunningly beautiful. However, she seemed half-asleep, with drowsy eyes and messy hair sticking up.


    Looking at this woman, who appeared completely unkempt and sleepy, Lu Yi''s mind slowly formed a question mark.


    Could this person... really be the Ling Luo Peak Master?!


    It... shouldn''t be, right?
