As the roots of the spiritual peach tree took root in the earth, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth invisibly gathered towards the Biyou Valley. The concentration of the spiritual energy here suddenly became more than two or three times richer than before.
After settling his friends, Ye Liuyun came to the exquisite attics by the lake and looked around.
The special thing about the Bixia Valley is that there are multiple formations here, which can block spiritual consciousness and outside detection. Looking from the outside, it is foggy and the existence of the attic is basically invisible.
"Wow! It's beautiful! I like this place. There is water, streams, and forests. It's an ideal place to live." Ye Liuyun said with a smile as he looked at the layout of the attic.
Looking at the Yun Sect, the news that Ye Liuyun had taken over Bixia Valley was soon known to the disciples of the Yun Sect.
This kind of thing cannot be concealed even if you want to.
Lin Aoxue has now entered the Yun Sect's library. The Yun Sect has opened all the methods in the library to Lin Aoxue, and she can learn as much as she can. Lin Aoxue plans to stay here for three days and then go to see Ye Liuyun's situation.
"Hey, have you heard? We have two new disciples in the Yun Sect, each one is weirder than the other." Around evening, the story of Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue spread.
"Yes, one of them is Lin Aoxue, who became a direct disciple of the sect as soon as she arrived. She was also allowed to enter the library to read any secret manuals in it. The other one is Ye Liuyu, who is said to be Lin Aoxue's sister. She has only the initial stage of Lingxi realm cultivation, but the sect treats her as an inner disciple and lets her live in Bibixia Valley, which is only open to the sect's young master."
"This? This is too weird. Even if a disciple is outstanding, he or she must first become an outer disciple when coming to our Yun Sect. How come this pair of sisters are treated better than the other? This doesn't go against the sect's rules, does it?"
This news has become the main topic of conversation among the disciples of the Yun Sect.
However, this news was a little hard to accept for Yun Sect's direct disciples and core disciples.
At this time, in a quiet bamboo forest area somewhere in Yun Sect, this is the residence of Murong Huan, the strongest disciple of Yun Sect today. He is a cultivator at the peak of the fourth level of the Dao Palace and a seed-level disciple of Yun Sect.
What is a seed-level disciple? It is a disciple who is qualified to compete for the next generation of the Yun Sect Master.
Seed-level disciples do not necessarily have to be taught by the emperor himself, but they are at least inner disciples. Because of their excellent qualifications, they are given special treatment equivalent to the heirs of the Yun Sect. There are a total of ten places.
This kind of status is purely based on cultivation and has nothing to do with identity. Only when you reach the fourth peak of the Taoist Palace Secret Realm can you have such a status.
There are currently seven disciples in the Yun Sect who have obtained the seed status, that is, seven cultivators at the peak of the Dao Palace.
But even for Murong Huan, the strongest disciple in the sect, the sect did not allocate Bixia Valley for them to live in. To be honest, Bixia Valley is not the best cave temple in Yun Sect. But the problem is that all the masters of Yun Sect lived here before becoming the sect master.
Therefore, this place has a special meaning and is tacitly accepted by all disciples as the residence of the Yun Sect's young master, and this is not a rule set by the Yun Sect.
"Senior Brother Murong, have you heard of this news? This is outrageous! What is the sect doing? Why let a little girl from Lingxi Realm live in Bixia Valley?" A disciple of Yun Sect came to the bamboo forest and sat down in front of a calm and handsome young man with great anger.
These people are all Murong Huan's followers. In Yun Sect, these seed-level disciples have their own followers. Once the disciples of their followers sit on the throne of Yun Sect one day, they will be the next generation of sect leaders.
So after these followers got the news, they immediately came to their leader angrily.
"Why are you panicking? You are like a frightened bird. Is it necessary to pay attention to a mere Lingxi Realm? Besides, Bixia Valley is indeed where successive sect masters lived when they were disciples. However, the sect has never said that the person who lives here is the successor of the sect. Moreover, is it possible for the sect to let a small person from Lingxi Realm be the successor? Isn't this a joke?" Murong Huan drank a cup of spiritual tea, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
But just because he is not in a hurry doesn't mean that his followers can also not be anxious.
"No, that's not the case. This time, the sect has set many precedents. You know Lin Aoxue, she was only at the Spiritual Pattern Realm and became a direct disciple. She was also allowed by the sect to freely read the exercises in the library. Even you, my brother, don't have such treatment."
"Besides, her elder sister, with a mere Lingxi Realm, became an inner sect disciple of the sect and even moved into Bixia Valley. Why? Do they want to abandon the sect's rules? Make exceptions for new disciples? This doesn't make sense at all." The male disciple said angrily.
Indeed, Yun Sect made too many exceptions this time, and there was not even an explanation. They didn't even know where these two people came from. As for the news of their joining the sect, it was only when they entered Yun Sect and were seen by disciples along the way.
Yun Zong had no intention of hiding this matter, so everyone found out as soon as they inquired.
Murong Huan also knew that he could be indifferent, but he couldn't let his followers be indifferent, so he still had to give an explanation.
"What was the reaction of the six of them?" Murong Huan asked thoughtfully.
The six people he mentioned were naturally the other six seed-level disciples.
"I'm not sure. Anyway, I think that with the personalities of Senior Brother Meng and Senior Sister Ji, they will definitely want to investigate each other's background. Even if there is no threat, we should still find out." The man said.
Murong Huan's other followers also nodded in agreement. They couldn't question the sect about this matter because there was no clear rule in the first place.
"Then you guys go and investigate first, but don't be the first to stick your head out. There will always be people looking for trouble, so just watch," Murong Huan reminded.
As for Ye Liuyun, after she had dealt with all her belongings, she went to sleep comfortably.
And just like that, the day in Yunzong ended.
The next morning, Ye Liuyun pushed open the door of his residence and walked outside the attic.
"Ah...comfortable. This place is so quiet and comfortable. I really want to spend some time alone with Aoxue here. I also know what she is doing now." Ye Liuyun stretched and sighed.
"Haha, don't worry, she will be treated better than you. But it seems that your trouble is coming. I sense that there are many auras of the Dao Palace realm approaching this valley." Lin Qingyou said, glancing upwards.
When Ye Liuyun heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.
"Alas! What was supposed to come finally came," Ye Liuyun sighed helplessly.
Those who came were all inner disciples of Yun Sect, and there should be two groups of people, one group mainly composed of female disciples and the other group mainly composed of male disciples.
These two groups of people are the followers of Meng Chuan and Ji Chunling, both of whom are seed-level disciples.
"Oh, you are here too. It seems you can't wait to meet the people who live in Bixia Valley." A young man who looked somewhat arrogant laughed.
A female disciple on the other side responded with the same pride.
"You are the same, don't waste your time talking and call the person out first."
These people come from various peaks and factions. Although they cannot enter the territories of other factions at will, this is the living area of the disciples, so there are no restrictions.
Chapter 258: When in doubt, make medicine (5000 words)
After saying that, Ji Chunling's follower raised his hand and slapped the large formation protecting Bixia Valley. This palm condensed the power of thunder and lightning into a thunder and lightning handprint and hit the large formation.
They didn't have Ye Liuyun's contact information, so if they wanted to get him out, the best way would be to deliberately attack the formation.
Sure enough, as the formation was attacked, Ye Liuyun's identity token immediately began to tremble.
"Tsk! Those who come here have bad intentions. They actually attack the formation directly and force me to show up." Ye Liuyun activated the token, and soon a white light shot out from the token. The white light condensed in front of her eyes and formed a mysterious light mirror. The image reflected in the mirror was those people outside who attacked the formation.
Ye Liuyun took a look and then asked through the token.
"Everyone, brothers and sisters, I'm new here and I don't know how I've offended you. Why are you doing this?"
Ye Liuyun's words soon rang in the ears of the people outside. The sound was transmitted through the power of the formation. The Bixia Valley formation had many effects, including surveillance and defense. It was a multiple mixed formation.
When these people heard Ye Liuyun's response, they stopped immediately. The leader of these followers of Ji Chunling was called Kong Jie, a cultivator of the third level of the Taoist Palace, who belonged to Lei Yunfeng. Ji Chunling was not only a seed of the Yun Sect, but also a direct disciple of Lei Yunfeng.
In Yun Sect, half of the seeds are direct disciples, so most of Ji Chunling's followers are disciples of this peak.
"Haha, I'm Kong Jie from Leiyun Peak. You must be Ye Liuyu, the new inner disciple of Caiyun Peak. I'm following the orders of Senior Sister Ji Chunling, the direct disciple of Leiyun Peak and the seed of Yun Sect, to ask you to go and pay her a visit. Come out quickly." Kong Jie ordered arrogantly.
They are all cultivators at the Dao Palace realm, and they will definitely not give any face to a small Lingxi realm cultivator. In the eyes of the strong, allowing you to go over and ask questions is already a favor.
After all, there is a huge gap between their realms. The younger of these disciples are at least fifty years old, while the older ones are over a hundred years old.
Ye Liuyun was speechless, thinking, this is another woman with a strong sense of superiority. She did not answer Kong Jie immediately, but asked Meng Chuan's subordinates.
"So what are you doing here, brothers and sisters?" Ye Liuyun asked.
The group of people here is led by Yu Shanghai, who is also at the third level of Dao Palace and a core disciple of the sect. Their followers include Meng Chuan himself, who is a direct disciple of Qingyun Peak.
Therefore, Meng Chuan's followers are mainly disciples of Qingyun Peak, whose main practice is the art of wielding swords.
"I am Yu Shanghai from Qingyun Peak. I am the eldest disciple of Qingyun Peak and the seed of Yun Sect. I am under the order of Senior Brother Meng Chuan to invite you to Qingyun Peak to meet him." The young man also introduced himself.
His attitude was just a little bit more polite.
After hearing the identity of the visitor, Ye Liuyun's heart skipped a beat. She was not an idiot and she would not go. She could imagine what the consequences would be if she went to meet these high-ranking disciples at her level.
So Ye Liuyun pretended to hesitate for a moment, then spoke.
"Eh? Well, fellow brothers and sisters, I just joined the Yun Sect yesterday and was assigned here. I still have many things to deal with in the cave temple. I'm afraid I don't have time to visit Brother Meng and Sister Ji for the time being. Can you give me a few days?"
Ye Liuyun's words did not make the final statement, but left room for maneuver.
After listening to it, although the two were somewhat dissatisfied, they did not say much. After all, the reasons given by Ye Liuyun were reasonable. Moreover, they did not know Ye Liuyun's background. If the other party had a powerful background and was the descendant of an elder of the sect, wouldn't they be asking for trouble?
"Oh? So, can Junior Sister Ye show up? We didn't invite Junior Sister Ye this time, so we must see what Junior Sister Ye looks like, right?" Kong Jie said lightly.
This request is not excessive, and Ye Liuyun can still meet it. Besides, this formation has a projection effect.
"Okay." Ye Liuyun activated the token in his hand, and the next moment, Ye Liuyun's figure appeared in front of everyone.
When Ye Liuyun, a man with white hair and a fairy-like appearance, appeared in front of everyone, both groups of people were stunned, especially the male disciples, whose eyes were fixed on him.
"So beautiful?" This was the first thought in everyone's mind when they saw Ye Liuyun. Apart from beautiful, they didn't know what words to use to describe the person in front of them.
"Hello, brothers and sisters. I am currently handling matters in the valley where I live. It is not convenient for me to come here in person, so I will use my projection to say hello to you brothers and sisters." Ye Liuyun bowed politely to everyone.
When everyone saw that Ye Liuyun was handsome and humble, they immediately began to like him more.
Although Ye Liuyun is a person who cares a lot about face, she is also very clear that sometimes, she still has to lower her posture. After all, the Yun Sect is larger in scale and the competition here is much more intense than that of the Yunxia Sect. Besides, in the world of cultivation, strength is respected. It's her fault that she is too weak.
"She is quite good-looking, but Junior Sister Ye, when are you planning to come to my Leiyun Peak to pay a visit to Senior Sister Ji Chunling?" Women are women. Although she was amazed at Ye Liuyun's beauty, she also felt unhappy.
"Ah? Well, it's hard for me to say. It will probably take at least three days." Ye Liuyun pretended to think and gave a time.
After hearing this, Kong Jie didn't say much.
"Hmph! Then three days. I hope I can see you in Leiyun Mountain on the third day. Let's go." After getting the answer, Kong Jie turned around and left with his men.
After Kong Jie left, Ye Liuyun looked at Yu Shanghai again.
Because Yu Shanghai is a man, he tends to feel sympathy for pretty and seemingly harmless girls, so when he heard that Ye Liuyun needed three days, he did not act too forcefully.
"Haha, Junior Sister Ye, since you are going to Leiyun Peak in three days, I won't make things difficult for you. I will give you one more day. You can come to our Qingyun Peak in four days. This should be no problem." Yu Shanghai asked with a smile.
Ye Liuyun immediately smiled and nodded.
Just like that, Yu Shanghai also left with his men.
To be honest, based on her experience, there will definitely be trouble on this trip to Leiyun Peak. As for Qingyun Peak, she is not too worried because, compared with men, women are more malicious towards women.
"Hey! Three days later, should I go or not?" Ye Liuyun said with some embarrassment.
After Ye Liuyun finished speaking, he retracted the projection.
"Haha, these two groups of people are just the first to come out. I just sensed that there are several groups of people around. They are just watching you from a distance and didn't come over." Lin Qingyou reminded.
Ye Liuyun spread her hands, expressing her helplessness. She felt that she had to make preparations in advance, especially for going to Leiyun Peak. In order to prevent herself from being bullied, Ye Liuyun might need to refine more powerful combat pills.
"It seems that I need to prepare more powerful pills. I don't want to be bullied." Ye Liuyun turned around and went back to prepare to refine the pills.
During this period, a lot of combat pills have been consumed, and these combat pills may need to be updated because they are not powerful enough. She now needs pills that can greatly shake the realm of Dao Palace, so she may have to improve the quality of the pills, increase the pill patterns, or use higher-grade pills.
The combat pills she had used before were mainly those without or with one pill pattern. She has not used pills with more than one pill pattern on anyone yet, mainly because she didn't know how powerful they were and whether they would harm innocent people.
But just when Ye Liuyun was about to return to the room, something unexpected happened. He saw a figure breaking out of the ground from a spring under the lake in the valley, then flying out of the lake and landing on the ground.
Looking closely, it turned out that these were Fan Ling and Lan Wei. They actually entered Yun Sect in this way.
When Ye Liuyu sensed a familiar presence behind him, he quickly turned around and took a look.
"Hey? How did you two get in?" Ye Liuyun asked in surprise.
Fan Ling shook the water off her body and said respectfully.
"Master, we can't enter Yunzong head-on, so after discussing with Lan Wei, I dug through the underground river, and then followed the underground river into Yunzong. Because Lan Wei is connected to you, she can accurately locate your position."
After listening to this, Ye Liuyun chuckled.
"Oh, so that's it. That's great. I was planning to pick you up. Lan Wei, come back." Ye Liuyun ordered the Lan Wei Sword.
As soon as these words were spoken, the spirit of the Lan Wei sword left Fan Ling's body and returned to the sword. Finally, the sword turned into a blue light and penetrated into Ye Liuyun's body.
---------------------------------
"Master, is this where we will live in the future?" Fan Ling said in admiration as she looked at the surrounding environment.
"Well, you can live in that attic. I thought I would find a way to bring you in, but I didn't expect that you sneaked in by yourselves. By the way, was it so easy for you to sneak in?" Ye Liuyun was a little surprised.
You should know that there are natural formations around Yunzong, and Yunzong itself also has a mountain protection formation. Although it has not been activated, the formation perception ability is still there.
“It’s definitely not that simple. If it weren’t for Lan Wei’s power to dig a hole in the formation, I would never have been able to get in alone.” Fan Ling explained.
This is true, so it was a wise move for Ye Liuyun to let Lan Wei follow Fan Ling.
"Okay then, you can live in that room. You can move freely at any time. Don't disturb me or leave this valley without my order. After all, you sneaked in. If you are discovered by the people from Yunzong, I will be in trouble." Ye Liuyun reminded.
Fan Ling nodded, and then went to the attic that Ye Liuyun had designated for her to take a look. The rooms here were absolutely impeccable, and Fan Ling had no complaints.
As for those who came to investigate Ye Liuyun's identity, they all left and went back.
This time I just came to see what Ye Liuyun looks like. If I really want to find out his background, I guess I have to wait until Ye Liuyun reaches Leiyun Peak.
About half an hour later, in an exquisite attic at Lei Yun Peak, as the eldest senior sister of Lei Yun Peak, Ji Chunling spent most of her time practicing in the Tianlei Tower of Lei Yun Peak.
After Kong Jie and others came back, they immediately went to Tianlei Tower to pay a visit to Ji Chunling.
This Tianlei Tower is where the disciples of Leiyun Peak practice. There is a lightning-attracting formation in the Tianlei Tower, which can attract lightning from the nine heavens to attack the Tianlei Tower. Therefore, even in broad daylight, you can see lightning hitting the top of the Tianlei Tower.
After the Tianlei Tower absorbs lightning, it will absorb the power of lightning into the Leiling Crystal Stone below the Tianlei Tower, and then provide it for the disciples of Leiyun Peak to practice.
