On Yu Xiao Peak which stood solemnly at the center of Tai Hua Mountain range, Luo Jianqing was riding on top of his Master in a lustful movement. Of course he couldn’t care less about the new disciples, and he almost forgot that he had once saved a girl who was supposed to be one of Li Xiuchen’s future wives. Luo Jianqing leaned forward and bit Xuan Lingzi’s lips. Their bodies were connected closely together, exchanging lubricious liquid.
After they finished this round, exhausted, Luo Jianqing lay on Xuan Lingzi’s body, resting his sore waist.
Stroking him with one hand, Xuan Lingzi said, “We are not doing this tomorrow.”
Refreshed immediately, Luo Jianqing was confused by his Master’s decision, “What?”
Looking right into his eyes, the Master was serious, “Your Cultivation Base is skyrocketing, so you must take your time to consolidate it. Jianqing, tomorrow you shall start a seclusion, and at the meantime I will re-forge your Floating Frost Sword and endow your weapon with the ability of achieving higher level as your Cultivation Base keeps growing so that it can break the limitation of a high-grade Earth-level Item.”
Xuan Lingzi was making a fair point with an aloof manner, acting like a Master again. Luo Jianqing mumbled “Yes”, agreeing with this decision, but suddenly got on top of his Master again, aiming perfectly at the erection, and sat down.
Both of them let out a moan of delight. In the moonlit room, eyes filled with desire, the young cultivator was as gorgeous as a flawless white jade. Luo Jianqing chuckled, “Well then, Master, I fear there is no time to waste today.”
Eyes wide opened, Xuan Lingzi couldn’t find a word to say.
Not long after this, the Master was drowning in the sea of pleasure as well. The indifference totally disappeared from his face. Pressing Luo Jianqing against his arousal, Xuan Lingzi changed the position violently, which made Luo Jianqing unable to utter a single word to provoke his Master. What he could do was only panting, and shuddering with delight.
When the Sun was about to rise, a pleading look filled Luo Jianqing’s eyes.
However, though having passionate intimacy was easy, extricating from desire was hard. The next day, Xuan Lingzi cleaned Luo Jianqing’s body. Holding him in his arms, the Master took Luo Jianqing back to the disciple’s own house. After bunting Xuan Lingzi’s chest like a cat, Luo Jianqing rolled over onto his bed unconsciously, then fell into asleep.
Staring at his disciple’s innocent visage, Xuan Lingzi couldn’t help kissing the soft red lips. He got out of the house as quickly as possible with a blushing cheek. After closing the door behind him and setting up a ward, he announced, “Jianqing, you cannot come out of this house until your Cultivation Base is fully tamed.”
Stilling sleeping inside the house, Luo Jianqing, “…” For god’s sake, do you dare set up a ward while I am awake?!
Finally letting out a sigh of relief, Xuan Lingzi was about to go back to his own house. However, he saw Hao Xingzi approaching from distance.
Pupils shirked, Xuan Lingzi stepped forward. “What’s the matter, Senior Brother?”
As one of a few who could enter Yu Xiao Peak at any time, Hao Xingzi knew the pair of disciple and Master didn’t want to be disturbed, so he was ready to get to the point as soon as possible. Nonetheless, something stunned him: Xuan Lingzi’s slightly straggly hair, crumpled robe, intentionally standing collar which covered his entire neck, not to mention his… blushing face!
Knowing Xuan Lingzi since the latter was still a child, Hao Xingzi never saw his always-calm-and-aloof Younger Brother in a state like this. Stupefied for a long time, Hao Xingzi finally found his tongue, “Brother, did anything happened to you? Why are you…”
Xuan Lingzi cleared his throat and explained, “Senior Brother, I was practicing my sword maneuvers.”
Hao Xingzi didn’t ask any further, but… he couldn’t help but wonder why on Earth Xuan Lingzi was blushing because of some sword maneuvers.
Hao Xingzi went back on track, “Brother, do you still remember that eight years ago, the Liu Yan Valley opened earlier than the usual date?”
Xuan Lingzi nodded, “Of course I do.”
Hao Xingzi went on, “One year after the incident, the Bai Family finally caught the Fiend Cultivator who opened Liu Yan Valley. As a Nascent Soul Period cultivator, that Fiend Cultivator shouldn’t have the power to open the valley, given that only cultivators beyond Da Sheng Period can force Liu Yan Valley to open, not to mention the Spiritual Power required might drain out the cultivator. The Bai Family has been prisoning the Fiend Cultivator, interrogating him about how to open the valley. Since Liu Yan Valley is a source which is very precious to the thirty-six states, Bai Family’s actions are understandable.”
Xuan Lingzi frowned, “So, now they have got what they wanted out of that Fiend Cultivator?”
“Yes. After being tortured for seven years, the Fiend Cultivator never spit out anything useful. However, the Bai Family invited a Gui Yuan Sect’s Buddhism Cultivator to chant Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva and that’s the turning point. Unable to endure the burning of Yan Flame and the suffering it brought to his Primordial Life, the Fiend Cultivator finally gave in. He confessed that it wasn’t he who opened the Liu Yan Valley that day, a fruit opened it!”
The graceful, elegant cultivator in white robe was shocked, while Hao Xingzi continued, “That Fiend Cultivator was once a member of the Fiend Palace, serving the Fiend Exalt by his side. According to him, the Fiend Exalt hadn’t step out his chamber for a dozen years. One day, he took a wrong turn and accidentally entered the Exalt’s chamber through a minor gate. Surprisingly, there was no one in the chamber. What left in the room were only nine fruits!”
Hao Xingzi, whose hair and eyebrows had all turned white, went on with a serious tone, “The Fiend Cultivator said that, once he saw the fruits, there was a voice inside his mind urging him to took the fruits as his own possession. That day, a small troop of Demon Cultivators marched crossed the border, so he stole the fruit and thought no one would pay attention to him. However, he was wrong. They chased him down to the area of Liu Yan Valley. The guy had no idea he was near the valley. He put the fruit on the ground and was about to take a rest, but it somehow disappeared. That’s when Liu Yan Valley gradually opened its entry.”
Coming to the Yu Xiao Peak to discussion this with Xuan Lingzi in person, Hao Xingzi apparently believed that this was an emergency.
They all knew that the Fiend Exalt had sworn to protect the border. Together with Xuan Lingzi, he signed on the contract which restrained their freedom, but now, from what they heard from that Fiend Cultivator, the Fiend Exalt had been missing for years. The empty chamber, the fruit, the missing Fiend Exalt, and the accidentally opened Liu Yan Valley… all was mysterious.
Pondering for a while, Xuan Lingzi told Hao Xingzi what he sensed a few weeks ago, and the latter was shocked.
“Achieving Deity Transformation Period? How is this possible?!”
Xuan Lingzi replied in calmness, “Everything is possible. Senior Brother, even if the Fiend Exalt really reached the Deity Transformation Period, there is no reason for us to be upset about it.”
“But the Fiend Exalt had left the palace long time ago, who can you still sense him cultivating at the Fiend Palace?”
Xuan Lingzi shook his head slightly.
They discussed this for a long time but still didn’t figure out what’s going on. At last, Hao Xingzi made the decision that he would ask Yu Qingzi and several other Elders of Tai Hua Mountain, along with the representatives of the Four Sects and Eight Families, to go to the Fiend Palace, see if they could meet the Fiend Exalt and ask him what happened .
Thinking over the idea, Xuan Lingzi said to his Senior Brother, “I believe it would be a good idea if Jianqing go to the Fiend Palace with them.”
Stunned, Hao Xingzi asked, “You want him to gain some experience?”
Xuan Lingzi didn’t deny it. They made an agreement, then Hao Xingzi left Yu Xiao Peak.
