Step by Step Ascend to Immortality

Chapter 107: Chapter 97 Chonghua Peak

Chonghua Peak?

As soon as Shen Yaqin put Liu Suiyun down, Liu Suiyun looked around curiously. "Master's wife? Is this our Chonghua Peak? It really has an immortal style!"

It's not just described by the word "magnificent." This Chonghua Peak is a towering and dangerous peak among the clouds, about two or three thousand feet high and covering nearly a hundred miles. It is dotted with secluded springs, forest ponds, exotic flowers and fruits, and pavilions. Although the sky is completely dark, through the fluorescent stones on Chonghua Peak, Liu Suiyun still feels a real immortal style.

Shen Yaqin, however, ignored Liu Suiyun's self-talk and led him inside. Soon, several men and women greeted her respectfully. "Madam is back! Madam has returned to the mansion!"

Shen Yaqin nodded slightly and asked, "Has the master come out of seclusion yet?"

"The master said that he is only a thread away from breaking through to the false infant stage. Now please wait a few more days for Madam." A Foundation Establishment cultivator in his forties replied. "Madam, who is this?"

Shen Yaqin introduced him to them. "This is Liu Suiyun. I have newly accepted him as a disciple for the master. Take him over and train him to see if he is qualified. If he is not qualified, send him back! Suiyun, this is Steward Chu Cangshan. If you have anything in the future, you can find him."

"Steward Chu!"

"Junior Brother Liu!"

The two got to know each other. Shen Yaqin led Liu Suiyun inside. However, Liu Suiyun always felt that when Shen Yaqin heard that Chu Nan Hua hadn't come out of seclusion, there seemed to be a faint sigh in the wind.

Chu Cangshan wanted to follow, but Shen Yaqin said, "Steward Chu, go about your business. I will take him to meet his senior brothers."

Chu Cangshan was a bit surprised. "But still need to test him?"

Shen Yaqin was also unceremonious. "Since Nan Hua is not here, I have the final say on matters on Chonghua Peak!"

Liu Suiyun was even more surprised. "Master's wife, have I passed the test?"

"More or less." Shen Yaqin smiled faintly. "Next, it depends on how you perform. Don't get lost!"

On the top of Chonghua Peak, there are countless exquisitely crafted pavilions everywhere. I don't know how they were built. Along the way, there are beautiful scenes at every step. Liu Suiyun has never seen such an exquisite place. Whether it's flowers, grass, trees, or even the stones and streams along the way, they are all arranged almost perfectly. Perhaps this is the work of Shen Yaqin?

Soon, Shen Yaqin had led Liu Suiyun through a bamboo forest and was walking towards a bamboo cottage. Soon, a cry came from the bamboo cottage. "Master's wife? Master's wife, you are back. I'll go and call Senior Brother immediately!"

This voice was not very old. It seemed to be one or two years younger than Liu Suiyun. Liu Suiyun looked inside curiously and saw a young cultivator in black. Before long, he had brought a middle-aged cultivator over. "Disciple greets Master's wife!"

Only then did Liu Suiyun have time to carefully observe his two senior brothers. In addition to the young cultivator in black at the beginning, Senior Brother Guan Mingyue was a tall and strong resolute man. Not only was his face dark, but he also had a full beard. Compared to his identity as a cultivator, he was more like a martial artist. Looking carefully again, Liu Suiyun found that he was also holding a jar of wine and had a smell of alcohol all over him.

Shen Yaqin immediately introduced these two senior brothers to Liu Suiyun. "This is your Senior Brother Guan Mingyue. This is your new junior brother Liu Suiyun!"

She chided. "Mingyue, although your master is in seclusion now, you can't be so obsessed with alcohol. Suiyun, don't follow your senior brother's example. Your senior brother has wasted twenty years at the great accomplishment stage of Foundation Establishment. If you keep drinking like this, there is no hope for reaching the Golden Elixir stage in this life!"

Although many cultivators often spend decades or even a hundred years to break through from the great accomplishment stage of Foundation Establishment to the Golden Elixir stage, Shen Yaqin and Chu Nan Hua naturally have different standards from ordinary cultivators. Liu Suiyun could only listen to her lecture obediently.

On the contrary, Guan Mingyue was a straightforward person. He directly lifted the wine jar. "Master's wife, I just like to drink a little more. Without wine, life would be boring!"

After saying that, regardless of Shen Yaqin being in front of him, he raised the jar and took a big gulp. "Junior Brother Liu, we can consider this our first meeting! Senior Brother has nothing else. If you want to drink, you are always welcome. There is no problem with any kind of wine. Senior Brother has plenty of wine here."

Liu Suiyun didn't dare to ignore his senior brother who was so fond of wine. You should know that this senior brother was so obsessed with alcohol and still had the cultivation of the great accomplishment stage of Foundation Establishment. His aptitude was naturally beyond that of ordinary people.

Moreover, after experiencing the changes in Luoxing Mountain and Tianma Plain, Liu Suiyun realized that the more straightforward a man is, the more delicate his emotions are. It's just that they hide their true emotions very well. "Then thank you, Senior Brother. Senior Brother, I am not good at drinking. Don't get me drunk at that time."

Shen Yaqin glared at Guan Mingyue and introduced another senior brother to him, that is, the young cultivator in black that Liu Suiyun had seen. He was quite handsome. Although he was dressed in black, at a glance, one could tell that it was no ordinary thing. In some places, it was almost exquisitely crafted. It was both comfortable and beautiful. "This is your Second Senior Brother Chen Xingrui!"

Liu Suiyun didn't care about the age issue. Now that Chen Xingrui was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it wouldn't be a loss for him to call him senior brother. "Second Senior Brother!"

Chen Xingrui exuded a kind of noble air. His every move had a nobleman's demeanor. "Junior Brother Liu!"

Shen Yaqin told Liu Suiyun, "Don't look at your second senior brother being young. He has experienced many things. Moreover, he comes from a wealthy and noble family and is known as the one with many treasures and much wealth in our Shenxiao Sect."

"Master's wife is overpraising me!" Chen Xingrui was obviously very happy to hear such a comment. "Junior Brother Liu, if you are short of funds, come to senior brother. Don't dare to say more. Senior brother can still take out three to five hundred thousand coins. You don't need to pay it back!"

Although three to five hundred thousand coins are nothing in the cultivation world, at least one hundred million coins are needed to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill. But in the secular world, three to five hundred thousand coins is an astonishingly large sum. Chen Xingrui's generosity can be said to be extremely lavish. Therefore, Liu Suiyun immediately asked, "If I need funds, I will definitely ask senior brother for help!"

"No problem!" Chen Xingrui replied. "Under Master Chu, there are only a few of us disciples. We should all get closer in the future."

Even Guan Mingyue, who was full of the smell of alcohol, said, "Junior Brother Liu, if you want to drink, find senior brother. If you want to borrow money, find senior brother. If you want to fight, find senior brother even more!"

They had never had any contact before, but as long as they became disciples of Chu Nan Hua, they formed a community. Shen Yaqin was also very happy that her three disciples got along so well. "Good! You two senior brothers take good care of Suiyun. By the way, Suiyun?"

Liu Suiyun replied respectfully. "Master's wife! What are your instructions?"

Shen Yaqin patted the precious sword in her hand and asked, "Since you have entered my sect and also called me master's wife, I am satisfied with you. Presumably your master is also extremely satisfied with you. But before officially entering under Nan Hua's tutelage, let me ask you, do you still have any unresolved grudges in the secular world?"

Shen Yaqin and Chu Nan Hua are both Golden Elixir cultivators, and they also have the support of the Shenxiao Sect. Therefore, Liu Suiyun was not afraid of True Lord Yunpeng. He immediately said, "When I was walking in the secular world, I had an unforgivable feud with the Pang family in Tianji."

"The Pang family in Tianji?" Chen Xingrui interrupted and said, "I heard that they are already in a state of decline. If you want to settle accounts with the Pang family, it's enough to find senior brother. There is no need to trouble Master's wife."

Liu Suiyun knelt down in front of Shen Yaqin. "But after I formed a feud with the Pang family, I offended True Lord Yunpeng?"

"True Lord Yunpeng?" Shen Yaqin was dismissive of this name. "Just a casual cultivator. But why haven't I heard that True Lord Yunpeng has such an enemy as you?"

Liu Suiyun quickly explained. "When I was walking in the secular world, I also had an alias called Xing Ruyu."

While Shen Yaqin was still thinking, Chen Xingrui had already answered first. "So Junior Brother Liu's name also has a 'Xing' in it!"

"Commander Xing, unrivaled in appearance?" Shen Yaqin had already remembered. "It seems that I, Shen Yaqin, really didn't misjudge people. At first glance, I picked the most handsome one. You did a good job in the Gu family."

Now Liu Suiyun was really overjoyed. "Master's wife has also heard about me?"

He really didn't expect that he, such a small cultivator at the Qi Condensation stage, could actually catch Master's wife's attention.

And Shen Yaqin gently patted the fairy sword and said, "Your master likes tranquility and dislikes activity. So I handle all matters on Chonghua Peak. Although you don't have much reputation, you still managed to send away two Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Pang family. And it is said that Xing Ruyu is extremely loyal and sincere. You are a good boy. Good, good. Master's wife didn't misjudge people..."

But then Shen Yaqin said with a smile, "Commander Xing, unrivaled in appearance. You are really very handsome! Now True Lord Yunpeng is backing the Pang family? "

"True Lord Yunpeng is offering spirit stones to hunt down disciple!" Liu Suiyun told the truth. "It is said that two hundred spirit stones for seeing the corpse and one hundred spirit stones for seeing the person. Disciple plans to cultivate on Chonghua Peak for a while first and listen to Master's wife's lectures before thinking of a way to settle accounts with this old thief."

"This is trying to put you to death!" The one who spoke was Guan Mingyue. "But True Lord Yunpeng is just a casual cultivator. How dare he cause trouble for our Chonghua Peak? Don't worry. If you want to fight, find senior brother. You will definitely not be disappointed."

Chen Xingrui was also unambiguous. "No problem. I'm itching for a fight. I'm just looking for someone to have a duel!"

But just after Chen Xingrui finished speaking, his shoulder was patted by Shen Yaqin. "Don't be so reckless. No matter how insignificant True Lord Yunpeng is, he is also a Golden Elixir cultivator. The two of you are not enough. Stay on Shenxiao Mountain honestly!"

Just as Liu Suiyun was about to accept this outcome, Shen Yaqin's tone suddenly changed. "However, I, Shen Yaqin, never treat my disciples unfairly and will not let my disciples suffer even a little bit of grievance. So I will take on this feud for Suiyun... Eh?"

It seemed as if she had suddenly discovered something extremely strange.
