"Haha… Elder Ge, it's getting late, shall we enter the Penglai Immortal Sect together now?" Just then, the conversation between the two elders representing the two great sects concluded. Elder Liu spoke to Elder Ge.

"Of course." Elder Ge replied.

Thus, all members from Mount Hua Sword Sect and the Taiyi Sect merged into one group and flew towards the Penglai Immortal Sect.

As they were flying, they soon saw a sea of mist in the distance, with the scenery obscured. Just as they felt there was nowhere to find, suddenly a man in a green robe rose from the fog, swiftly arriving in front of the group with one palm raised in front of him, "Elder Liu, Elder Ge, I am here by my master's command to welcome your arrival…"

"Haha, Changfeng, nice to see you; then please lead the way!" Both Elder Liu and Elder Ge saw the young man in front of them, immediately smiling in approval. It was apparent they were not strangers to this youth.

The youth known as Changfeng, without further ado, turned around and led the way.

"Wow, that's Mu Changfeng, the premier disciple of the sect leader of Penglai Immortal Sect. Indeed, his cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul Initial Stage, impressive!" Ye Xiaoman stared at Mu Changfeng, her eyes shining.

Lin Xianshu's beautiful eyes also glanced at Mu Changfeng intentionally, then shifted her gaze to Wang Xiaoqiang, observing his reaction at the moment, but unexpectedly, although Wang Xiaoqiang was also looking at Mu Changfeng, his expression was calm, revealing none of his thoughts.

Under Mu Changfeng's lead, the group made turns and roundabouts within the misty sea. Finally, they passed through the foggy maze and entered a small world, which suddenly opened up in front of them.

The Penglai Immortal Sect, much like the Taiyi Sect, occupied a large area. Inside a huge mountain dell stretched the Holy Realm of Spirit Mountain, with temples and halls, pavilions and towers, winding corridors, all adorned with exotic flowers and plants, creating a delightful sight.

Mu Changfeng led the group down to the square of the Penglai Immortal Sect.

On the square,

many people gathered.

The sect leader of Penglai Immortal Sect, along with several vice sect leaders and many disciples, most of whom were female disciples, just as Li Ce said, indeed each one was a beauty.

Seeing the group landing, the sect leader of Penglai with several vice sect leaders and elders personally came forward to greet them, appearing quite enthusiastic.

At that moment, the male disciples of Penglai Immortal Sect directed their gazes towards Zhao Wushuang, Lin Xianshu, and Ye Xiaoman. After all, attraction between sexes is natural, especially for beauties at the level of Zhao Wushuang and Lin Xianshu, which were rare even in a sect where female disciples were the majority, so everyone wanted a good look.

Even though this was the Cultivation Realm, the people here came from the secular world and were not monks, they all had the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, no different from those in the secular world.

Meanwhile, the female disciples of Penglai Immortal Sect were focusing their eyes on the male disciples of both the Taiyi Sect and the Mount Hua Sword Sect.

Men look at women for beauty, while women look at men for their cultivation base, just like in the secular world where women prefer wealthy men.

As the female disciples of Penglai Immortal Sect observed with their Divine Sense, they were also inquiring among each other, wondering about Wang Xiaoqiang, the dark horse of this Taiyi Sect competition. However, Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation base seemed too ordinary among those twenty people, they couldn't make much of it, so they had to ask Zhao Wushuang about Wang Xiaoqiang.

One tall and big-eyed beauty, who seemed lively and apparently knew Zhao Wushuang, identified Wang Xiaoqiang from Zhao Wushuang and immediately told her sisters, so all the female disciples turned their gazes towards Wang Xiaoqiang. A burst of whispering followed.

"No way, he's just at the Mid Golden Core Stage, how could he possibly be the champion of the Taiyi Sect competition?…"

"Yeah, he doesn't look very impressive. He can't compare with Qii Jingtian; how could he possibly defeat Qii Jingtian?!"

...

Various conversations were plentiful.

While the female disciples discussed Wang Xiaoqiang, a cold gaze fixed on Wang Xiaoqiang. This person was none other than Jiangg Tianpeng, the uncle of Jiangg Yulong and the vice sect leader of Penglai Immortal Sect.

Jiangg Tianpeng carefully examined Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation base and discovered he was at the Mid Golden Core Stage. However, he wasn't relieved because he knew Wang Xiaoqiang was not just at the Mid Golden Core Stage; he guessed it must be the Late Golden Core Stage.

Eventually, people from both the Taiyi Sect and the Penglai Immortal Sect were settled in an inn. They were treated to fine wine and good food, as tomorrow would be the day of the grand sect competition. Hence, everyone had a day of leisure time.

That noon, after dining fellow disciples of the Taiyi Sect, Ye Xiaoman suddenly approached Wang Xiaoqiang and invited him, "Wang Xiaoqiang, shall we go out for a walk?"

Wang Xiaoqiang was surprised, but he did not refuse. Amid the envious looks of his fellow sect members, he walked out with Ye Xiaoman.

To Wang Xiaoqiang's surprise, when he walked outside with Ye Xiaoman, he discovered Lin Xianshu was actually standing outside, obviously, she was with Ye Xiaoman.

"Sister Xianshu, look, I've brought out Wang Xiaoqiang," Ye Xiaoman exclaimed joyfully to Lin Xianshu.

Lin Xianshu glanced coldly at Wang Xiaoqiang and then didn't say a word. Seeing that Lin Xianshu didn't speak, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't greet her either, which made the atmosphere somewhat awkward.

Ye Xiaoman said, "Since all three of us are here at the Penglai Immortal Sect for the first time, why don't we walk around the main road for a bit? It won't be a wasted trip then…"

"Mmm," Wang Xiaoqiang nodded.

Lin Xianshu still didn't say a word, but she didn't indicate refusal either.

Seeing that Lin Xianshu didn't refuse, Ye Xiaoman cheerfully said, "Let's go, let's go for a walk~~"

Three people set off together, admiring the beautiful scenery of the Penglai Immortal Sect. While they were enjoying the scenery, many male disciples were also admiring the beauty of Lin Xianshu. Naturally, there were also female disciples discussing Wang Xiaoqiang. The main topic of their discussions was Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation base.

Obviously, Wang Xiaoqiang was at the Mid Golden Core Stage, so how could he possibly defeat Qi Jingtian, who was at the Late Golden Core Stage, and become the champion of this competition in the Taiyi Sect?

"Wang Xiaoqiang, isn't your cultivation base only at the Mid Golden Core Stage?" Ye Xiaoman, becoming more familiar, finally mustered the courage to ask a question. Clearly, like everyone else, she was curious about what stage Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation actually was.

As Wang Xiaoqiang walked along, he was constantly surrounded by five hundred swirling Five Elements Spiritual Springs; he also felt somewhat anxious, fearing being discovered. Hearing Ye Xiaoman's question, he became visibly nervous, "Uh, Wang is merely at the Mid Golden Core Stage..."

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang say this, Ye Xiaoman, although somewhat incredulous, was tactful enough not to probe further.

Lin Xianshu gave Wang Xiaoqiang a glance, her eyes filled with deep suspicion.

"Hey, Little Qiang, where are you from?" Ye Xiaoman, who was naturally curious, then asked about Wang Xiaoqiang's hometown.

"Uh, I'm from Huagui County in H Province," Wang Xiaoqiang said truthfully.

"H Province, Huagui County?" Ye Xiaoman seemed to have discovered something, her gaze shifted and she stared at Lin Xianshu "Sister Xianshu, isn't your hometown also in Huagui County in H Province?"

Lin Xianshu again glanced at Wang Xiaoqiang subconsciously, she did not speak, only nodded her head.

Seeing that these two were actually from the same place, Ye Xiaoman then asked, "Hey, Little Qiang, where in Huagui County is your family from?"

Wang Xiaoqiang truthfully said, "Bluestone Town in Huagui County..."

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't dare mention Sanmiao Village, as the Cultivation Realm was filled with dangers, and revealing one's home address was not a wise move.

When Wang Xiaoqiang said this, Lin Xianshu's expression shook, because her hometown was also in Bluestone Town.

"What about you, Sister Xianshu?" Ye Xiaoman asked Lin Xianshu,

Lin Xianshu did not reply, only chided, "Ye Xiaoman, why do I feel like you are interrogating us?..."

"Hehe, I just want to establish some connections between you two," Ye Xiaoman pouted her lips.

Unknowingly, the three of them entered an ancient woodland.

The forest was filled with towering trees, which three people together could barely embrace. The three settled down in a small pavilion in the woods.

Just then,

Two young disciples of the Penglai Immortal Sect also entered the pavilion. Originally, the stone table in the pavilion was not large, and after three people sat down, only two stone stools remained. These two young men, without saying a word, took the seats, doing so in a very brash and uncouth manner, directly bumping into Lin Xianshu and Ye Xiaoman.

Lin Xianshu abruptly stood up, her pretty face turning cold.

Ye Xiaoman also stood up sharply, angrily saying, "Hey, show some manners, can't you see that we are sitting here?"

"Hehe, miss, sorry, but the pavilion is for public use, it's not your house. Besides, I'm not sitting on your lap, right? Hehe~~" one of the disciples, eyeing Ye Xiaoman up and down, laughed lewdly.

"Hehe, exactly, and don't forget we are the hosts here. You outsiders, do you really want to overshadow us?" the other youth, his gaze fixed on Lin Xianshu, looked as if he wanted to devour her completely.

Lin Xianshu swept her Divine Sense over the two men's cultivation, and found they were both at the Late Golden Core Stage; nonetheless, she showed no fear, only a deep look of disgust as she frowned, "Xiaoman, let's go, don't bother with them."

"Hmph, to think the great Penglai Immortal Sect also has such ill-mannered disciples, disgraceful!" Ye Xiaoman's pretty face froze as she stared fiercely at the two men.

After speaking, seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang was still sitting there, she quickly grabbed his hand, "Let's go, let's explore elsewhere. Staying here with these people will only sully us."

Wang Xiaoqiang stood up.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang stand up, one of the youths abruptly got up, pointing at Ye Xiaoman and cursed, "You bitch, who are you calling names?"

Ye Xiaoman placed her hands on her hips, "I'm calling you, what about it?"

Although Ye Xiaoman was only at the Early Golden Core Stage, she was a girl who feared neither heaven nor earth.

"Believe it or not, I'll slap you right now." The youth raised his hand threateningly towards Ye Xiaoman.

"Hey, gentlemen use their words, not their hands, especially not against girls!" Finally, Wang Xiaoqiang spoke up.

"Fuck, who the hell do you think you are to lecture me?" The youth, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang speak up, pointed directly at Wang Xiaoqiang's nose and cursed.

Wang Xiaoqiang vaguely realized that these two youths were targeting him. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for it, or use the monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
