Flying above the mountains shrouded in clouds, a strong wind lashed against the protective shield set up for her by her master, Yujing, while celestial birds occasionally flew past on either side of her.
This feeling of riding the wind is fantastic!
Don't be fooled by the fact that Tianlan Sect isn't ranked high in the cultivation world; they occupy a lot of territory!
Zhu Yi felt that she still had some good luck on her side.
Above the clouds, everything looks small.
In Zhu Yi's eyes, the Tianlan Sect was surrounded by mountains and green waters, and every part of it was lovely.
Just now, the scene of Zhu Yi making tea and taking a master in the main hall was still flashing before her eyes. She breathed a sigh of relief, the ordeal of the past ten days was finally over.
With the Mirror Immortal riding his sword ahead, Zhu Yi finally found a sense of reality behind him.
"Little girl, we've arrived." Master Yujing gently sheathed his sword and led Zhu Yi to a small pavilion in a peach grove.
Zhu Yi looked around the peach grove. A gentle breeze carried the rich fragrance of peach wood, which was quite pleasant.
"This is the Sweet Peach Peak of Peach Mountain. From now on, this will be your residence."
Pushing open the door, Yu Jing unlocked the restrictions on Peach Blossom Cottage and led her inside.
The first thing you see is a hall, where the tables and chairs are all made of fine peach wood, and it looks clean and elegant.
On the left are two side rooms, which can be used to store miscellaneous items or to entertain a friend for a short stay.
The room on the right looked like a sunny bedroom. Zhu Yi hadn't gone inside to take a closer look, but she could sense that the furnishings were probably quite nice.
This peach grove cottage is rich in spiritual energy, making it a good place for cultivation. In addition, with Master Yujing under his watchful eye, Zhu Yi felt very safe!
Instead of introducing each person to her individually, Master Yujing waved his hand and gave her two jade slips.
One was the restriction he had just broken at Peach Blossom Cottage, and the other was a body-tempering and refining technique.
"You can see the rest of the place yourself. I won't take you through the details. From Peach Blossom Cottage onwards, it will all be your territory."
Zhu Yi looked around in disbelief.
The entire Sweet Peach Peak?
"Yes, Master!" Zhu Yi was clearly overjoyed!
"Can I start practicing the cultivation technique given to me by Master starting today?" Zhu Yi asked with some delight.
She was eager to try it out.
"Yes, there are also quite a few cultivation techniques in the storage ring I gave you, all of which you can practice. From now on, your senior brothers and sisters will test your cultivation on the first and fifteenth of each month. If you have any questions, you can go to the library to find your master at any time."
Zhu Yi asked curiously, "Master, aren't I your only direct disciple? Are you going to have me go to other senior brothers and sisters in the sect for assessments every month?"
"No," Yu Jing replied patiently. "The cultivation method I gave you is something others don't understand."
Seeing that Zhu Yi still had a puzzled smile, Master Yujing continued to explain to her, "It is my contracted beast, Zhaocai and Jinbao."
Zhu Yi: This name sounds like the two cats my grandfather kept in my family in my past life!
I miss my past life a little; after all, anyone who's been away from home for too long will miss it.
She glanced down at the storage ring her master had given her. The ruby was rather conspicuous, and wearing it on her hand would be a bit too flashy. She decided to braid a small red string and wear it around her neck instead.
The ruby, shimmering with red fluorescence, seemed to be a spatial artifact. Before she could perform the blood oath ceremony with it, another thought popped into her mind.
Zhu Yi took out a lantern-shaped hairpin from her storage bag and handed it to Yu Jing Zhenren.
"Master, could you please take a look and see if there's anything special about this lantern hairpin?"
Zhu Yi had asked Master Miaoyin about it before, but Master Miaoyin said her cultivation level wasn't high enough to see anything special about the hair ornament. Thinking about it this way, perhaps Master Yujing, with his Mahayana stage cultivation, could know something about it?
At first glance, the lantern hairpin appeared to be made of white jade. After examining it carefully for a moment, the Imperial Mirror Master felt a warm and peaceful aura emanating from the hairpin, and he already knew the answer in his heart.
Seeing his little apprentice's eager gaze, Master Yujing pondered and said, "This item looks ordinary, but it is probably a divine artifact."
"A divine artifact?" Zhu Yi asked in confusion. "Master, this lantern hairpin was given to me by my mother the night before I went to the Hehuan Sect to become an apprentice. She said it was something I brought with me when I was born."
The mirror clearly indicated that it was undoubtedly a companion magic artifact.
"The accompanying ritual artifact may be one you used in your previous life. It was unwilling to let you be reincarnated, so it came here to find you."
Zhu Yi was shocked. "Master! Is this for real? This is too unbelievable! In my past life..."
In my past life, I was just a research dog raised by my grandfather in all sorts of ways! She had never seen a lantern-shaped hairpin like this in her past life!
"The cultivation world has existed for tens of thousands of years, with countless extraordinary people and events. Aren't there many stories in mortals' painting books about various celestial phenomena that occurred when emperors were born?" Master Yujing patted her little shoulder to comfort her.
This looks exactly like a bristling, adorable cat—the spirit pet of the Immortal Mirror.
Master Yujing raised his hand and cast a spell, and a thick stream of purple-gold light enveloped the lantern hairpin.
"After you return, feed it one top-grade spirit stone every day. For the first 35 days, feed it spirit stones of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) with different attributes. For the next 44 days, feed it spirit stones of no attribute. After 49 days, the restriction on this lantern hairpin will be lifted."
Zhu Yi carefully wrote it down, and couldn't help but wrinkle her little nose, her facial features all scrunched up together.
She only has eight hundred low-grade spirit stones on her right now. Where is she going to find so many high-grade spirit stones?
Seemingly sensing his little apprentice's dilemma, Master Yujing chuckled, "Look at you, so full of yourself! When we get back, open the ring I gave you and see what's inside."
"Little girl, you also need to learn how to earn spirit stones on your own. In the future, don't let a lack of spirit stones limit your cultivation." Master Yujing said earnestly.
"Use what I gave you first. If you run out..." Master Yujing changed the subject, and Zhu Yi was startled, wanting to hear what else her master would say.
Could it be that Master is so generous that he will give it to her again?
"Then you'll have to figure out how to earn it yourself."
Seeing his little apprentice's thoughtful expression, Master Yujing continued to explain to her in a very good mood: "It is said that there is no time in the cultivation of immortality. In the past tens of millions of years, how many people have been able to successfully ascend to immortality?"
"What's the point of the long and winding path to immortality if all you do is cultivate and slay demons?"
"Once your cultivation reaches a certain level, you'll find that some worldly things are far more interesting than cultivating immortality..."
Zhu Yi: It turns out I was too naive! I thought cultivators weren't interested in such mundane matters.
She'd learned her lesson. In the world of cultivation, she not only had to work hard at her cultivation, but also make money! No, she had to earn spirit stones! Zhu Yi nodded repeatedly, indicating that she understood instantly.
"In addition, during these forty-nine days, you must take a drop of your essence blood each day to nourish your companion artifact. Using your essence blood to nourish it will enhance the spiritual connection between you."
Mikami also patiently showed her the layout of Mount Momo.
As we walked, I explained some miscellaneous things to her.
Taoshan is located to the east of Tianlan Sect. Unlike the towering mountains that reach into the clouds elsewhere, Master Yujing prefers this kind of smaller mountain.
The Mirror Master divided Peach Mountain into four parts: his Sour Peach Peak was six parts, and his little disciple's Sweet Peach Peak was four parts. Each of them had a small mountain, and that was enough.
Zhu Yi was overjoyed! She had received a mountain peak as her residence as soon as she entered the house; it was such a surprise!
Master's Peach Blossom Residence is located at the top of Sour Peach Peak behind her, while her Peach Grove Cottage is halfway up Sweet Peach Peak.
The stream in front of Peach Blossom Lodge flows into Lotus Lake at the foot of the mountain. Across from Lotus Lake is a large bamboo forest, all of which are her favorite plants.
Her Peach Blossom Cottage is a row of four bright and luxurious brick houses, which is a bit too big for one person to live in!
