Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

Luo Lizhu did not stand on ceremony and smiled, "Since you’re here, come in. The Hall Master is waiting for you."

In response, Su Xihe was just a little surprised, not overly shocked.

Qin Yu had already told her the truth, which was actually something that had troubled her recently.

If Qin Yu went to Cyan Mist Hall, should she, as the Sect Leader, follow him or stay at the Cyan Mountain Sect?!

As the Sect Leader, leaving the Immortal Sect would be somewhat... irresponsible.

After all, she had enjoyed the sect’s resources for so many years.

In the past, the elders of Cyan Mountain Sect might have wished for her to give up her position as Sect Leader.

But times have changed.

She is Qin Yu’s master, and with this identity, no cultivator or force would dare challenge Cyan Mountain Sect.

But this identity is also what bothers Su Xihe the most.

Even if she followed Qin Yu to Cyan Mist Hall, it would likely attract a lot of gossip.

By then, as a master and Sect Leader, she would truly have no place to hide in shame.

Hmm...

However, she could always hide in her Lifebound Space and not come out.

...

Leng Feng looked bewildered, quietly watching his "little cabbage" enter the City Lord’s Mansion with the Cyan Mountain Sect group.

After all, the Palace Envoy was present.

And, since the Hall Master summoned them, it was understandable that they couldn’t come over to meet him, the old father...

Right?

Confused, puzzled.

The old father stood in the biting cold wind, his thoughts in disarray.

Could it be that his "little cabbage" really didn’t see him just now?!

Is that possible?

So many people from the Demon Sect were standing here, so conspicuous.

He even saw his "little cabbage" lowering her gaze, seemingly... a bit guilty?

Guilty about what?

Breaking through to the Golden Core shouldn’t be a good thing?!

Unlike Leng Feng, the elders of the Demon Sect behind him were murmuring.

As fellow Immortal Sects in the Yunlan Domain, Cyan Mountain Sect... being personally received by the Palace Envoy and even summoned by the Hall Master?!

And look at them, not only did they have to find their own accommodations, but standing there, even their senior sister ignored them?

The difference is vast.

"Cough cough, Ruyu probably didn’t see us."

Nether Bone Elder coughed awkwardly, breaking the awkwardness.

"Yes, yes, her breaking through to the Golden Core Realm is ultimately a good thing."

"Could that person be the Qin Yu from Cyan Mountain Sect whose reputation is rising? I observe that he seems to be quite close to Ruyu. Could he be drawn to her?!"

The Demon Sect elders gradually came to their senses, tacitly skipping over the disparity in treatment between the two Immortal Sects and shifted the topic to Qin Yu and Leng Ruyu.

"That’s only natural."

A hint of nostalgic pride and confidence appeared on Leng Feng’s face, unique to a seasoned father.

"How could my daughter, Leng Feng’s daughter, be inferior to Su Xiyue even by half? That Qin Yu is captivated by her is within reason."

He was aware of Qin Yu’s affairs, young in age but with multiple Dao Companions.

Initially, he also had some thoughts, but they were quashed by his "little cabbage."

He vaguely felt something was off.

Could it be?

Qin Yu and Su Xiyue are married, that’s well-known.

Su Xiyue helped Leng Ruyu with her injuries, and his "little cabbage" seduced her husband?!

This seems a bit improper, doesn’t it?

Why does it vaguely feel like something from a crooked path?

Wait a minute.

Aren’t we from the Demon Sect?

But...

Watching outsiders covet his "little cabbage," the old father felt quite uncomfortable.

He must ask clearly later.

But, thinking about it, although they stayed in the same cave abode, under the watchful eye of that First Fairy, they should not do anything excessive, right?!

...

"Hall Master."

Qin Yu bowed respectfully; his respect for the elder was genuine.

Su Xihe and the others also bowed.

As Qin Yu’s women, they remained composed in front of the Hall Master. However, the Cyan Mountain Sect elders felt both excited and terrified.

They kept their heads down, bodies tense, longing to lift their heads and glimpse the grand presence of the Hall Master, yet fearing to offend this person who could determine their life and death.

Duanmu Hong noticed their nervousness, but his gaze first landed on Qin Yu.

Then, he looked at Yan Yu.

The two merely exchanged a glance without communication.

However, seeing this Flame Guard still present, Duanmu Hong felt reassured.

There should be no mishaps this time!

He then noticed the women beside Qin Yu.

Each was stunningly beautiful.

In their reserved state, they instinctively moved closer to Qin Yu, and with his sharp eyes, he naturally saw that this was not an act.

This kid, just as Lizhu mentioned, indeed has many beauties surrounding him.

He... should protect this area well for these Dao Companions, right?!

"No need for formalities, make yourselves comfortable."

Duanmu Hong personally helped Qin Yu up, then signaled for them to sit.

However, the Cyan Mountain Sect elders didn’t dare move until the Hall Master, Qin Yu, and Su Xihe sat down. Then they cautiously stood at the back.

They understood well that for Golden Core Realm cultivators like them, meeting the Hall Master was already a great honor, so they wouldn’t dare take a seat with this great figure.

What surprised the elders more was that the Hall Master chatted with Qin Yu like family, and the latter wasn’t particularly restrained.

At times, they even wanted to transmit a sound message to remind Qin Yu of his manners, but seeing the Hall Master and Palace Envoy had no objections, they dared not offend.

A moment later, the Hall Master shifted the topic, proactively sharing much about the information regarding the Ruins Rift and some documented Ruins Beast information with Qin Yu.

Mainly the habits and characteristics of the Ruins Beasts.

Ferocious.

Bloodthirsty by nature!

Qin Yu felt a chill run down his spine.

Mainly due to a lack of practical experience.

"Hall Master, when shall we go to the Ruins Rift?" Qin Yu inquired.

"No rush for now."

At this point, Duanmu Hong’s face turned solemn.

The Ruins Rift is extremely perilous, leaving no room for error or unexpected incidents. To be honest, he didn’t want Qin Yu to risk the danger.

Nonetheless, he wasn’t sure what that Flame Guard intended.

"Stay for now, wait until everyone is gathered, then we will enter the Ruins Rift together to eliminate those beasts."

The Hall Master instructed Luo Lizhu to make arrangements.

Following that, Qin Yu settled down in the City Lord’s Mansion, along with the Sect Leader and her group.

Being a small city, even the City Lord’s Mansion had limited accommodations, so not everyone could have a separate room.

The Cyan Mountain Sect elders understood that their reception was solely due to the Hall Master’s regard for Qin Yu.

Otherwise, where would they have such privilege?

Not only did they not complain, but they left looking proud and energetic.

Yet, there was one thing they couldn’t quite figure out — why Elder Liu Zixiao was left behind, as well as the Demon Sect’s senior sister.

However, they dared not inquire further.

After all, it was allowed by the Palace Envoy.
