Chapter 48: The Strange Peak Master +1


    The expressions of the senior brothers and sisters nearby were extremely complicated at this moment. They were clearly aware of the situation.


    However, Bai Yulong did not know. When he heard this, his eyes widened, and countless thoughts raced through his mind.


    He sat there in a daze and muttered, "Innate Thunder Spirit Body?! Isn''t that a legendary cultivation physique? That fairy actually has such terrifying talent?!"


    "But, despite having such an extraordinary talent, she is still only a registered disciple?! How high must that senior''s standards be?!"


    Hearing Bai Yulong''s words, Bai Lingfeng and the others wore complex expressions.


    They could not comprehend how such a genius would willingly become a registered disciple.


    At this moment, a young man beside Bai Lingfeng chuckled and said, "Yulong, do you now understand why I said you and Junior Brother Lu Yi are completely different? Our White Cloud Sect is a major sect in Qingzhou with tens of thousands of disciples. Up until now, only Senior Sister Liu Ningshuang and Junior Sister Donggong Mingyue have caught the eye of the Ling Luo Peak Master, and both possess innate spirit bodies. Now, there is a third person, Junior Brother Lu Yi... Yulong, do you realize what this means?"


    Boom!


    Bai Yulong froze in place. After a moment of silence, he muttered, "The Ling Luo Peak Master believes that Junior Brother Lu Yi has talent comparable to Senior Sister Liu Ningshuang and Senior Sister Donggong Mingyue?!"


    The atmosphere fell silent. Bai Lingfeng took another sip of wine and shook his head with a bitter smile. "The gap between people is truly vast. Yulong, even though I seem to be doing well in White Cloud Sect and have become a personal disciple of an elder, compared to the real top-tier geniuses in the sect, there is still quite a gap."


    A young man beside him laughed and said, "Senior Brother Lingfeng, you are being too modest. Among the current disciples, you are definitely a prominent figure."


    Bai Lingfeng smiled and shook his head without saying more.


    Bai Yulong remained silent, deeply shaken by today''s events, as if his entire worldview had been upended.


    ...


    Meanwhile, on the other side, Lu Yi followed Donggong Mingyue into Magnolia Pavilion. A pretty maid quickly approached them and respectfully said, "Fairy Donggong, you have arrived?"


    Donggong Mingyue nodded familiarly and said, "Yes, I came to buy Magnolia Pastries and Magnolia Wine for the Peak Master."


    Upon hearing this, the maid immediately replied, "Please follow me to the third floor."


    "Alright." Donggong Mingyue nodded with a smile.


    The maid glanced at Lu Yi, showing a trace of surprise in her eyes, but said nothing.


    Lu Yi followed Donggong Mingyue and the maid upstairs.


    When they reached the second floor, Lu Yi glanced around and saw powerful guests drinking and dining in the hall. These guests appeared older and were likely elders.Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.


    Lu Yi quickly withdrew his gaze and continued upstairs.


    Upon reaching the third floor, there was no hall, only private rooms.


    The maid led Lu Yi and Donggong Mingyue to the innermost room and knocked on the door.


    Soon, a gentle voice came from inside, "Come in."


    The maid opened the door and led Lu Yi and Donggong Mingyue inside.


    Upon entering, Lu Yi saw a simple room. It did not look like a dining room but rather a cultivation chamber.


    The room had minimal furnishings. In the center, a graceful and elegant woman with a gentle demeanor was seated on a cushion, seemingly having just been cultivating.


    Seeing the woman, Donggong Mingyue smiled and said, " Magnolia Peak Master, I''m here again!"


    Lu Yi was surprised to see the elegant woman in front of him. He did not expect her to also be a Peak Master?!


    A Peak Master was cultivating in a restaurant? Lu Yi found it strange.


    However, after thinking about it, he realized that Magnolia Pastries and Magnolia Wine were spiritual foods and wines suitable for Nascent Soul cultivators. Such rare and valuable items might not be safe in ordinary hands and could even be stolen.


    Was this Peak Master personally guarding the spiritual food and wine?


    These Peak Masters all seemed somewhat peculiar. His own Peak Master appeared drowsy all the time, and this Magnolia Peak Master liked to guard a restaurant.


    The Magnolia Peak Master smiled gently upon seeing Donggong Mingyue. "So, it''s Little Mingyue. Are you here to buy Magnolia Pastries and Magnolia Wine for Ling Luo?"


    "Yes, Peak Master loves your Magnolia Pastries and Magnolia Wine," Donggong Mingyue said cheerfully.


    The Magnolia Peak Master couldn''t help but laugh. "That woman is just greedy. These pastries and wine are already useless to her."


    She then looked at Lu Yi and asked, "Little Mingyue, who is this?"


    Donggong Mingyue stuck out her tongue apologetically and said, "I forgot to introduce him. Magnolia Peak Master, this is our Peak Master''s new registered disciple, my Junior Brother Lu Yi. Junior Brother, this is the Magnolia Peak Master."


    Lu Yi bowed respectfully and said, "Disciple Lu Yi greets the Magnolia Peak Master."


    The Magnolia Peak Master widened her eyes slightly in surprise, her gaze like autumn waters showing a trace of astonishment. ‘That woman accepted another registered disciple?!’


    She examined Lu Yi as if trying to see through him.


    Donggong Mingyue giggled and said, "Yes, Junior Brother is amazing. His comprehension is even stronger than Senior Sister Liu Ningshuang''s."


    ‘Stronger than Liu Ningshuang''s comprehension?!’ The Magnolia Peak Master was even more shocked.


    She smiled at Lu Yi and said, "Little one, I didn''t expect your talent to be so strong. Work hard, and perhaps you''ll become a great cultivator in the future."


    Lu Yi smiled and said, "I will work hard."


    The Magnolia Peak Master sighed again and said, "That woman is so lucky to have found three excellent disciples, while I can''t find even one."


    Donggong Mingyue laughed and said, "Disciples with alchemy talent are rarer than those with cultivation talent. I''m sure the Magnolia Peak Master will find a suitable disciple."


    "You sweet-talker," the Magnolia Peak Master said with a shake of her head. She then took out a white jade box and a white jade jug. "Here are the Magnolia Pastries and Magnolia Wine. Take them."


    Donggong Mingyue carefully stored the items and said, "Put it on the Peak Master''s tab."


    The Magnolia Peak Master sighed and said, "That woman still hasn''t paid her tab. Tell her to pay up, or there won''t be any next time."


    Donggong Mingyue chuckled awkwardly and said, "I''ll make sure to tell her!"


    "Alright, you can go now. I need to continue cultivating," the Magnolia Peak Master said, waving them away.


    Lu Yi and Donggong Mingyue bid farewell and left the room.


    After leaving Magnolia Pavilion, Lu Yi and Donggong Mingyue chatted as they returned to Ling Luo Peak.


    Arriving at the upper section of Ling Luo Peak near Lu Yi''s cave abode, Donggong Mingyue smiled and said, "Junior Brother, I''ll deliver the pastries and wine to the Peak Master. You''ve had a busy first day in the inner sect and must be tired. Go rest."


    Lu Yi glanced at his completed task and didn''t insist. "I''ll trouble Second Senior Sister, then."


    "Go on," Donggong Mingyue said, waving her hand before happily skipping away.


    Watching her disappear behind the trees, Lu Yi smiled, turned, and headed toward his cave abode.


    Back in his cave abode, Lu Yi pressed a button on the stone wall, sealing the entrance with a boulder.


    Even though the entrance was sealed, the formation inside maintained fresh air.


    Lu Yi couldn''t wait to return to his room and count his gains for the day.


    His first day in the inner sect had yielded incredible rewards.
