On the peak of Dao Yuan Peak, a vast sea of flowers sits here. It is rumored that there are thousands of different flowers here, all brought from various places by Luo Xiaochuan, the master of Dao Mountain Ancient Land.

 

Each flower is vibrant and colorful, as if dyeing the entire world with a brilliant hue.

 

In the sea of flowers, a stone path cuts through.

 

At the end of this path is a bamboo forest. Luo Xiaochuan usually resides in the bamboo forest, and outside the bamboo forest, there are several stone turtle statues, each with a different form and inscribed with many unreadable characters.

 

Just as Mu Haifeng, the Peak Master, arrived here, he noticed a person walking out of the bamboo forest.

 

The person was dressed in white and appeared to be in his forties. His starry eyes seemed to be filled with supreme sword intent, and his extraordinary demeanor was mixed with a hint of coldness, making him a handsome man.

 

"Vice Sect Master." Seeing the person, Mu Haifeng respectfully greeted him with clasped fists.

 

"Xu Muhai?" The person calmly said after seeing Mu Haifeng, "Looking for the Sect Master?"

 

"Yes, I have important matters to report to the Sect Master." Xu Muhai nodded.

 

Seeing Xu Muhai, who usually acted carefree, being so serious, the man in white also nodded and said, "The Sect Master is not in the sect at the moment. If you're willing, you can tell me."

 

Saying that, the man in white sat down on a nearby stone.

 

Xu Muhai pondered for a moment and then recounted the two matters.

 

The man in white remained unchanged throughout, and only after Xu Muhai finished speaking did he speak, "Li Changqing has not shown any hostility, and I have never heard of this person's name. Just keep an eye on him, and when necessary, show some goodwill."

 

"It's only beneficial for Dao Mountain Ancient Land to befriend such a powerful person."

 

After speaking, the man in white's gaze became slightly sharp, "Regarding the matter of the Ghost Clan, instruct the disciples outside to pay close attention. If there is nothing major, the Ghost Cultivation wouldn't make such a big fuss. Yan Dongchen is just a small pawn, there must be bigger fish behind him. If there is anything, report back to the sect, I will handle everything."

 

"With your words, Vice Sect Master, I can rest assured. These Ghost Cultivators dare to cause trouble in our Dao Mountain Ancient Land, they are truly tired of living." Xu Muhai laughed and said, "Then I will take my leave."

 

Xu Muhai had no doubts about what the man in white said.

 

Nor did he think he was bragging.

 

Xue Qianbai, the Vice Sect Master of Dao Mountain Ancient Land, was known as the 'Qianxue Sword Sovereign'.

 

This title was not just an empty name. If there were really Ghost Cultivators causing trouble within the range of Dao Mountain Ancient Land, those who could leave alive after facing Qianxue Sword Sovereign's sword would be few and far between in the entire world.

 

After returning to his own Mu Hai Peak, Xu Muhai instructed his disciples to spread the news and pay attention to the movements of the Ghost Cultivators.

 

At the same time, Xu Muhai did not forget to send people to the other thirty-five peaks to search for Li Hengsheng, his disciple.

 

However, after several days, the disciples who went to the other thirty-five peaks all came back and reported that there was no one named Li Hengsheng.

 

This surprised Xu Muhai.

 

The Yan family had previously said that Li Changqing's son, Li Hengsheng, had run away from home three years ago and joined Dao Mountain Ancient Land. But how come there was no disciple named Li Hengsheng in all thirty-six peaks?

 

Could it be that Li Hengsheng never came?

 

And with Li Changqing's strength, his son's aptitude must be excellent as well. After three years, even if he didn't join the inner sect, he should have become an outstanding figure in the outer sect.

 

What exactly is going on?

 

In just a few days, Li Hengsheng had already entered a state of cultivation.

 

He had never had such abundant resources for cultivation before.

 

In the past, he had to send half of his meager monthly earnings back to Li Changqing, and the remaining money was not enough to buy any cultivation resources. He could only buy some medicinal herbs that were about to lose their efficacy to aid his cultivation.

 

The effect was minimal, which resulted in Li Hengsheng's cultivation progress being extremely slow.

 

But this time was different. With money in hand, Li Hengsheng spared no expense and bought the resources he could only drool over before. He even hired people to do the work he used to do every day, allowing himself to focus solely on cultivation.

 

He had fallen behind too much, and he wanted to make up for it.

 

To surpass the Transcendence Realm as soon as possible, then enter the outer sect, join one of the thirty-six peaks, and become a true disciple of Dao Mountain Ancient Land.

 

Transcendence was a process of improving one's body, strength, bones, organs, blood, and overall transformation, surpassing ordinary mortals. This was a very important process, and only by truly transcending could one step into the realm of acquired cultivation.

 

"It's been several days since I last saw Senior Brother."

 

Not far from where Li Hengsheng lived, Lu Qiaoqiao gazed at the place. Since that day, she hadn't seen Li Hengsheng.

 

She knew that Li Hengsheng was in seclusion, and she was happy for him to have resources for cultivation. However, not seeing Li Hengsheng for several days made Lu Qiaoqiao feel a bit lost.

 

Taking out a handkerchief from her bosom, Lu Qiaoqiao carefully unfolded it. Wrapped in the middle of the handkerchief was the iron token that she didn't know what it was. Lu Qiaoqiao had a faint smile on her face. This was the first thing Li Hengsheng had ever given her.

 

Although she didn't know what it was, and it didn't look valuable, Lu Qiaoqiao still cherished it.

 

But at the same time, Lu Qiaoqiao was also curious. The material of this token was very special. It didn't seem like iron, as iron wouldn't be this heavy, but it also didn't seem like any other material. Lu Qiaoqiao had never seen such a unique material before.Gently rubbing the edges of the token with her fingers, she felt a prickling sensation, as if the material was unusually sharp.

 

"Sister Lu!"

 

Just then, a voice suddenly appeared, and a palm directly slapped onto Lu Qiaoqiao's shoulder, startling her!

 

With a tremble of her palm, her finger was actually cut by the token in her hand.

 

"Ah!" Lu Qiaoqiao cried out in pain.

 

The painful cry from Lu Qiaoqiao startled the person who had slapped her. The person was also a young girl named Xu Yueyue, who had a good relationship with Lu Qiaoqiao on normal days. She had just seen Lu Qiaoqiao in a daze here and wanted to scare her a little.

 

Seeing Lu Qiaoqiao's finger bleeding, Xu Yueyue was also startled.

 

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Qiaoqiao, I didn't mean to, stop the bleeding quickly." Xu Yueyue hurriedly took out her handkerchief and wrapped it around Lu Qiaoqiao's finger.

 

But Lu Qiaoqiao didn't care about these, she looked at the token, hoping it wouldn't be stained with blood. But to Lu Qiaoqiao's surprise, there was not a single trace of her blood on the token.

 

What Lu Qiaoqiao didn't know was that her blood had been completely absorbed by the token.

 

Meanwhile, in Minghong Prefecture, several people in the dark suddenly changed their expressions.

 

"The Qishan Order has been refined." In an abandoned ancient temple, a ragged man sat on a dirty stone platform. His hair was messy, and his eyes were covered with thick cloth, as if he couldn't see the prosperity of the world.

 

As soon as these words came out, the several figures standing in front of him also changed their expressions.

 

The Qishan Order has been refined?

 

Could it be that someone had made a move before them?

 

"Who is it, could it be someone from the Yin Tenth Floor?" A Ghost Cultivation powerhouse said incredulously.
