If I stay in the Hehuan Sect, I'll live off the pampered daughters of the Heavenly Pride Sect.

Emerging from his master Yan Chenyu's misty cave, Mo Chengyue stood on the edge of the cliff at Qingquan Peak.

Looking down at the surging sea of ​​clouds, the cold wind blowing from the mountaintop instantly sobered me up.

He looked down at his hands.

At the Golden Core stage, one must undergo a tribulation of lightning?

What kind of hellish start is this?

He couldn't help but look up at the sky. The sky was a clear, deep blue, without a single cloud, and looked completely harmless.

But the thought that in the future, this sky would be struck down with violent lightning, like a KPI, and he felt that the sky looked rather repulsive.

"hiss……"

Mo Chengyue gasped, feeling a slight pain in his back molars.

However, after carefully considering Master's words, it seems... not so hopeless?

The tribulation of lightning, although it sounds scary, is still a long way off for him.

He's only in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, not even in the late stage, let alone trying to break through to the Golden Core stage.

There's plenty of time!

Besides, didn't Master say that?

Xie Buci, that show-off senior brother, isn't he just a seasoned veteran who successfully survived the tribulation?

With such an experienced person by my side, I can learn a lot from their experience when the time comes.

Surely we can't just be blindfolded and get struck by lightning and turned into charred remains, right? If all else fails, we'll prepare extra lightning rods.

With this thought, Mo Chengyue's heart, which had been pounding with fear at the mention of "thunder tribulation," finally settled back into place.

there's always a solution to any problem.

As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties!

"Yes, let's go find our senior brother!"

Mo Chengyue made up his mind.

It's not just about the tribulation lightning.

There's another issue to consider.

Last time at Wanqi Mountain, it was to deal with Du Jingxing and his group, and also to show off...

No, to "help" Xiao Qinghan and deal with those guards, he scattered hundreds of low-level talismans like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Flash Charm, Wind Blade Charm, Slow Charm, Vine Binding Charm...

Although that thing isn't of high quality, the quantity is huge!

He "borrowed" them all from Xie Buci.

In order to get the "organizational warmth" project done as soon as possible, Xie Buci generously handed him a stack of cards.

Now, it's time for this senior to put his "warmth-giving" revolutionary spirit into action and reimburse this debt!

Thinking of this, Mo Chengyue's mood instantly brightened.

He hummed an off-key tune, summoned his flying sword, and transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for Peach Blossom Spring where Xie Buci was.

Peach Blossom Spring, as the name suggests, is a place where peach blossoms bloom all year round, and petals fall in abundance.

The entire cave was filled with a sweet peach blossom fragrance and a faint smell of wine.

Before Mo Chengyue could even land, a hearty laugh came from the cave.

"Oh, who do we have here? It's my wooden-headed junior brother!"

"What a rare guest! Did the sun rise in the west today? What brings someone as busy as you to my place?"

"Are you really willing to leave your cozy little library?"

A figure leaned against a peach tree at the entrance of the cave; it was Xie Buci.

Today he wore an even more flamboyant crimson robe, the front of which was opened even wider, revealing a large expanse of his muscular honey-colored chest and delicate collarbones.

A pair of captivating peach blossom eyes were smilingly gazing at Mo Chengyue as he landed.

"Senior brother."

Mo Chengyue bowed respectfully.

Xie Buci's gaze swept over him, and his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly.

The smile that had been there vanished instantly, replaced by a sharp, piercing glint, as if she wanted to see right through Mo Chengyue.

The pressure of scrutiny was fleeting, so quick that it seemed like an illusion.

"Sure, junior brother."

He put on that frivolous smile again, walked forward, and casually circled around Mo Chengyue.

He tapped his chin lightly with his fingers, making a soft "tsk tsk" sound.

"It's only been two months, and you've already moved from the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage to the middle stage. Your foundation... is quite solid."

"Tell me, in the Ten Thousand Weapons Mountain, which fairy sister, in a moment of despair, passed on her life's power to you?"

Xie Buci's smile became meaningful, and he nudged Mo Chengyue with his elbow.

He winked and whispered, "Looks like you reaped quite a harvest from your last trip to Wanqi Mountain. What, did you eat something delicious?"

He winked at Mo Chengyue, his eyes seeming to say, "I understand."

Mo Chengyue's lips twitched.

What does it mean to eat well?

These are words of ravenous folly.

He immediately put on a simple, honest smile and brought out the prepared explanation he had already prepared.

"Hey, don't even mention it, it was all luck."

"I almost froze to death while working with an 'iceberg' senior sister. I came back from the brink of death, and after a good night's sleep, I broke through. I was really helpless."

"Mmm, I understand, Iceberg." Xie Buci's smile became even more ambiguous.

He patted Mo Chengyue on the shoulder, his eyes full of satisfaction that said, "You've finally figured it out, kid."

"Impressive! This cooking speed is truly remarkable, surpassing even the master!"

"Come in, have a seat. I'm in a good mood today, so I'd like to talk to you about something."

Mo Chengyue followed Xie Buci into the cave.

Mo Chengyue followed him into the cave and was immediately struck by its furnishings.

Unlike his master Yan Chenyu's lazy and extravagant style, Xie Buci's cave dwelling exudes a sense of refinement and elegance.

The floor was not covered with a carpet, but with polished jade slabs that were so smooth they reflected the light.

Several landscape paintings with profound artistic conception hang on the wall, a guqin sits in the corner, and the incense burner emits a more mellow peach blossom fragrance than the outside.

It's flashy, but sophisticated.

However, what attracted Mo Chengyue's attention even more was

A graceful female cultivator, dressed in a light green gauze dress, emerged from the inner room carrying a plate of spiritual fruits.

The female cultivator had a spring-like look in her eyes, and wore a pink gauze dress. As she walked, her pair of straight and slender jade legs were faintly visible, and her whole body exuded the scent of a ripe peach.

When she saw Xie Buci and Mo Chengyue enter, a radiant smile immediately bloomed on her face, and she placed the tea tray on the stone table.

"Senior brother, you're back."

Her voice was soft and sweet, making one's bones melt.

As she spoke, she naturally walked to Xie Buci's side and affectionately straightened his slightly disheveled clothes. Her eyes were full of affection as she moved.

Then, quite naturally, she snuggled into Xie Buci's arms, her little hands even drawing circles on his chest.

Xie Buci also looked like he was enjoying himself, holding the female cultivator's slender waist and even leaning down to kiss her cheek.

They were so engrossed in each other that they didn't care about anyone else.

Mo Chengyue's eye twitched violently.

"Come here, Xiao Mo, let me introduce you. This is your senior sister Ruan Yan."

"Ruan Yan, this is the junior brother I told you about, my honest and upright junior brother, Mo Chengyue."

The female cultivator gave Xie Buci a coquettish glare, her eyes crackling with electricity.

Mo Chengyue stood there expressionless, but his mind was racing.

Holy crap!

It's changed again!

This guy changes his cultivation partners faster than he changes his clothes!

He clearly remembered that the last time he came, the person playing the zither under the peach tree was a cool and aloof senior sister.

The last time, it was a dashing and spirited senior sister.

Now they've switched to this more alluring style?

This... this speed at which he changes his Daoist partner is even faster than the speed at which his boss changed the direction of a project in his previous life!

Xie Buci's slick moves are practically making him a walking KPI harvester for the sect!

What the hell do they think the Hehuan Sect is?

Is this a girlfriend experience center?

Or is it the kind that requires monthly renewal?

Is this guy planning to collect seven different types of Daoist companions to summon a dragon?

Mo Chengyue mentally ranted, but on the surface he forced a polite smile and cupped his hands in greeting to "Senior Sister Ruan Yan".

"Hello, Senior Sister Ruan Yan."

Xie Buci pinched the female cultivator's cheek triumphantly before inviting Mo Chengyue to sit down.
