After looking at it for a while, Shen Yunhao continued to flip through the pages.
"Taoist Ruyan of Taixuan Dao Sect, True Person Lingyue of Guanghan Palace, Abbess Suxin of Lingyin Temple... Holy crap, even nuns are on the list? What's with Gou Ba Shen... Wait, she cultivates with her hair still intact? And she's so beautiful? Well, excuse me, it's such a pity that such a good girl became a nun..."
"Why are all the people on the list older? Are there no young people on the list?"
Shen Yunhao rolled over, finally revealing a young body... cough cough, a young body.
"Huh? This is... a demon race member? Or someone from the Demonic Sect? How can they even be on the list?"
The woman in the painting wore a knee-length black dress, with a seductive gaze and a slender figure. Most importantly, her right shoulder was exposed above the black dress, outlining her delicate collarbone. At first glance, it seemed as if an infinite power of allure was emanating from the painting, making her extremely alluring.
Shen Yunhao's eyes widened instantly: "Holy crap, will this picture even pass the review? Let me see the comments..."
"Graceful and alluring, captivating and mesmerizing, with a body like a peach blossom but a heart like a serpent! Bewitching beauty is often accompanied by deadly intent, Mu Shuangshuang, the Holy Maiden of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect!"
"This is absolutely amazing, guys, I really love it!"
Why do people look at beautiful women?
I had no other intentions; I just wanted to make myself happy!
After finishing the entire novel "The Legend of Jiangshan," Shen Yunhao suddenly felt a surge of anticipation for this world...
"Let's set a small goal first: I must see every single one of these beauties on the color chart... It would be worth it to have lived this life if I could see them in person."
In his previous life, Shen Yunhao had no interest in celebrities or anything like that, mainly because he could see heavily edited photos of them anytime he turned on his computer.
Moreover, the cost of seeing the real person is too high, which is a significant burden for students, so I have never been very interested in it.
But this life is different.
You don't need to study or be a corporate slave; you can spend half the day practicing and the other half relaxing, and go wherever you want. The cost of travel is relatively low.
Therefore, traveling thousands of miles to see the "beautiful scenery" in various places is also a kind of life ideal.
"But those girls from the Demonic Sect are another story. They may be pretty, but their lives are more important..."
"Judging by this, when Yao'er turns twenty, she'll probably be on that list too. Oh no! By then, won't everyone know that she has a useless husband?"
Shen Yunhao stroked his chin, and after a moment, gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"What are you thinking? Maybe they'll already be divorced by then... No matter what, I've already secured a spot on the list of most beautiful men!"
...
The next morning, Shen Yunhao got up early and checked out of the room.
Now that we've saved enough for the trip, it's time to set off for Qilin Mountain and see the Lingxiao Flying Boat.
Before leaving, he went to Tianbao Pavilion again and bought a steel sword to carry on his back.
Although it cannot be considered a magical treasure, it is still forged from the finest materials.
Even cultivators at the Copper Skin Realm aren't physically strong enough to go toe-to-toe with steel. In real combat, having a weapon in hand would still be a significant advantage.
Shen Yunhao had never practiced sword techniques or sword skills. The main reason he bought a sword was because it could be used for both slashing and thrusting, and it was relatively easy to operate.
After making all the necessary preparations, Shen Yunhao left Hanxuan City by carriage.
The main problem is that he doesn't know how to ride a horse yet; otherwise, buying a horse would make traveling much faster in a short time.
Qilin Mountain is not too far from Hanxuan City. After a leisurely morning ride in a carriage, Shen Yunhao could already see the distant view of the misty, immortal mountain.
Qilin Mountain is a general term for a mountain range with more than thirty peaks. Ninety percent of them are where the Huayin Palace was founded. The remaining peaks, which have less spiritual energy, are reserved for ordinary people to enjoy the scenery. There are people there to receive visitors and collect some incense money.
"Young man, is this your first time visiting Qilin Mountain?" The coachman chuckled as he looked at Shen Yunhao, who seemed like a curious child. "There are immortals living on Qilin Mountain. There's a reason why it's so beautiful and spiritually rich."
"Oh?" Shen Yunhao feigned curiosity. "You even know about this, Uncle?"
"Yes, many scions of prominent families in our Hanxuan City are studying magic on Qilin Mountain..."
We chatted along the way, and before long we arrived at the foot of the mountains.
"Young man, there are some places on this mountain that outsiders are not allowed to enter. If you come to enjoy the scenery, go to Biluotai on the west side. It's a beautiful place, and there are quite a few people there to enjoy the view!"
"Okay! Thank you, Uncle!"
After Shen Yunhao went up the mountain, he naturally did not go to the Biluo Terrace, but instead came to a very high peak in the south.
A very high wall was built at the foot of the mountain, and it seemed to be guarded by the army of the Tianyu Dynasty.
This peak is called Qianyou Peak, and the Nine Provinces Pagoda that Zhuli mentioned is located on this peak.
"To reach this peak, you need to pay a toll of one spirit stone!"
Upon seeing Shen Yunhao, the guard at the foot of the wall stepped forward and said, "Without spirit stones, this peak is off-limits!"
Shen Yunhao knew that the pass here was to prevent some unsuspecting mortals from going up the mountain. If they saw the Lingxiao Flying Boat above the sea of clouds, it could easily cause unnecessary commotion.
After Shen Yunhao paid the spirit stones, a man in a Taoist robe came over with a smile and said, "Young brother, would you like to ride a mount up the mountain? Otherwise, with your cultivation level, it would probably take you more than half a day to climb this thousand-foot peak. If you miss today's flying boat, you'll have to wait for the next one in seven days!"
"ah?"
Shen Yunhao was stunned.
Sister Li'er hadn't told him about this beforehand, and he didn't know how often the Lingxiao bus ran.
"I wonder what kind of mount it is that can help me climb the mountain?"
The Taoist priest laughed heartily: "Young brother, come with me."
After walking for a while, Shen Yunhao was taken aback when he saw the strange creature in front of him.
"Holy crap! A griffin?!"
The creature before me resembled a large lion, about the size of a horse, but its head was that of an eagle, with a curved beak and fierce eyes.
Most importantly, it had a pair of huge wings growing on the back of its neck and on its forepaws, which were curled up on both sides of its abdomen.
"Young brother, you are indeed knowledgeable, to recognize this beast!" The Taoist stroked his beard. "Since you recognize it, I won't go into further details. For just ten spirit stones, I will send you up the mountain within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."
Ten!
Shen Yunhao's eyes widened.
Good heavens, he only needs a dozen spirit stones to ride the Sky Flying Boat once, but going up a mountain costs the same?
Isn't this a blatant case of a dishonest merchant?
"Ten coins are not expensive at all! Young brother, wouldn't you like to ride this beast and enjoy the scenery of these mountains?" The Taoist chuckled, "Of course, if you're not in a hurry, you can walk up the mountain. Another flying boat will come in seven days!"
