It turns out, they were the main characters.

Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyu immediately sneered: "Senior Sister just loves to play these little tricks."

Yu Ziyan only discovered Mu Zhian's secret afterward; otherwise, she probably would have snatched this disciple away long ago.

Ultimately, if most of the female elders in the sect knew the secret of the innate furnace, they would probably extend an olive branch to Mu Zhian without hesitation.

Is this senior sister really that pure, able to remain unwavering when faced with the opportunity to directly break through her bottleneck?

"If there's nothing else, please leave."

Yan Ruyu spoke calmly, thus announcing the end of the topic.

Gazing at the alluring silhouette of the Taoist nun, Yan Ruyu's lips curled into a slight smile, her mood quite pleasant.

She was naturally aware of the "harms" that Yu Ziyan was talking about.

She knew exactly what to do.

……

Liangyi Peak.

Mu Zhian flew to Liangyi Peak on his sword and then threw the paper crane he had written beforehand into the peak.

After waiting outside for a while, a cool and elegant beauty in a flowing white dress came into view.

This outfit is different from her past ones. Although it's still a white dress, it better accentuates the exquisite and curvaceous figure of this cool and beautiful woman.

"Senior sister." Mu Zhian looked at Lan Mulian with a hint of longing in his eyes.

Lan Mulian gazed at Mu Zhian, her eyes lingering for a moment on the black sword at his feet, and said, "Why are you here so soon?"

"I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't been able to see my senior sister. I just saw her paper crane after the inner disciple selection ended, and I couldn't help but..."

Mu Zhian hesitated and asked, "Won't this cause trouble for Senior Sister?"

"If Senior Sister has something to attend to, I'll head back first, and we can go to the Holy Temple together tomorrow..."

Lan Mulian gently shook her head and smiled faintly, "Come with me."

After saying that, he took Mu Zhian and flew to the courtyard behind the mountain.

After pouring Mu Zhian a cup of tea, Lan Mulian smiled slightly and said, "Congratulations. You are the first person to win the favor of Senior Sister Yan."

Mu Zhian sighed, "To be honest, I was a little surprised myself. I originally thought there was no hope, but I didn't expect that in the end, Pavilion Master Yan would take pity on me and choose me."

"Senior Sister Yan and the Dao Peak's leader are from the same sect, both cultivating the principles of nature. They have an innate affinity for spiritual energy, so it seems they discovered your talent." Lan Mulian frowned slightly as she continued, "I suppose that's why."

"However, you still need to be careful. If your physical condition is exposed, it will cause huge trouble."

“No…” She shook her head slightly and said, “Perhaps Senior Sister Yan already knows your secret, which is why she chose you.”

What does "terrible trouble" mean?

Dual cultivation?

If that's the case, it's not a huge problem... Mu Zhian silently took a sip of tea and said, "Senior sister is right, I will be careful."

Lan Mulian stopped worrying and continued to ask, "From now on, you will have a large amount of salary and resources every month. If you use them for cultivation, it will not be difficult for you to reach the Refinement God realm within half a year."

"I promised you that I would give you a gift if you became an inner disciple. Now that you're here, I'll give it to you now."

After speaking, Lan Mulian opened her palm, and a small, exquisitely crafted box appeared in her field of vision.

Mu Zhian took the box, opened it, and a rich medicinal fragrance wafted into his nostrils, refreshing and invigorating.

"This is... a high-grade pill?!" Mu Zhian looked up at the beautiful woman in a gorgeous white dress, with a noble and aloof appearance.

"Take it, it's what you deserve." Lan Mulian's beautiful eyes revealed a calm demeanor.

Mu Zhian silently put away the Advanced Grade Pill, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart once again: Senior Sister is truly a rich and powerful woman.

He had heard from elders in the Mu family that pills like the Jinpin Pill, which could directly advance one rank, were quite troublesome to make and required extremely rare medicinal materials. It was not as easy as Lan Mulian made it out to be.

"Is Senior Sister still at the peak of the Divine Refinement stage?" Mu Zhi'an asked.

Lan Mulian nodded slightly, not dwelling on the topic, and said, "Now that you have Senior Linglong behind you, no one will hold onto the matter of Miss Bai's demonic aura anymore. I have also reported this matter to my master."

"Senior Linglong is naturally indifferent and may leave at any time. It's best not to offend too many people within the sect," she advised.

"I've never provoked anyone; it's just that they keep provoking me," Mu Zhian said helplessly.

After finishing his tea, Mu Zhian suddenly asked, "Can I come to Liangyi Peak again later?"

Lan Mulian nodded reservedly: "If I have time, I can."

As expected, Senior Sister appears aloof, but is actually quite gentle at heart... Mu Zhian understood this, and after chatting for a few more minutes, she successfully left Liangyi Peak.

However, he did not return directly to Tianhe Garden, but instead took the route to Daofeng.

“The head disciple has just returned and is currently in seclusion, not seeing anyone.” Outside the main hall of Dao Peak, a female disciple stopped him.

"Did two female disciples come to Dao Peak today? One was wearing a purple dress, and the other was wearing a blue silk dress. Are they sisters?" Mu Zhi'an asked.

Seeing the female disciple nod slightly, her eyes filled with doubt, Mu Zhian continued, "I am Qian'er and Lingxuan's brother. I have come to see you, senior, on an important matter. Please inform me."

Upon hearing this, the female disciple first looked at Mu Zhi'an with suspicion before nodding, turning around and walking into the main hall, where she saw a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a feathered robe sitting in front of the throne.

"Master, there is a disciple outside who claims to be Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian's brother requesting an audience." The female disciple respectfully clasped her hands in greeting.

Yu Ziyan, who had just returned to Dao Peak, quietly opened her eyes. She hesitated for a moment before looking up at the outside of the main hall.

Soon, a beautiful and captivating smile appeared on the face of the Dao Peak leader.

"Please let him in."

Daofeng, Dexin Hall!

Mu Zhian entered the magnificent hall and, led by a disciple, arrived at a simply decorated hall behind the main hall, where he met the head of the Dao Peak.

The room was warm and cozy, with sandalwood incense burning in the main hall. Yu Ziyan, dressed in gorgeous clothes, sat at the table, where tea and snacks had already been laid out. She waited with a smile for someone's arrival.

This Daofeng leader looked to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, not in her prime, but she possessed the fullness and sexiness of a woman, and her figure was quite alluring under her feathered robe.

Cultivating immortality has many benefits; at least for now, it's impossible to tell the other person's age... The experts in the Void Returning Realm are indeed unfathomable.

Mu Zhian quickly averted his gaze, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, Senior!"

Yu Ziyan raised her eyelids, her eyes seemingly shimmering with a watery light, and gestured for Mu Zhian to sit down before asking, "Are you settling in well in the library?"

"If you're not used to it, you can come to Daofeng to find me in the future."

Why are they openly poaching people...? Mu Zhian said respectfully, "Sect Master Yan has been very kind to me, and I have no plans to leave for the time being."

Ultimately, the sect token already bears the inscription "Inner Disciple of the Library Pavilion," so it's obvious that leaving the Library Pavilion is unrealistic.

Moreover, Yan Ruyu had just given him a second-grade formation book not long ago. Mu Zhian was a grateful person, so naturally he wouldn't run away just because of a few words.

Yu Ziyan wasn't surprised. She took a sip of tea and said with a gentle smile, "What brings you here?"

Mu Zhian nodded slightly and said, "This junior would like to ask about my maid."

Yu Ziyan gently stroked the rim of the teacup with her fingertips and said, "You mean her luck?"

Seeing Mu Zhian nod slightly, Yu Ziyan smiled and said, "The head of Huabao Peak came to see me about this not long ago. Your maid's luck doesn't seem to be innate."

Mu Zhian was somewhat surprised and looked up, saying, "Can one's luck really turn bad later in life?"

“Since Senior Linglong can grant people the inheritance of fortune, he also has certain secret techniques that can make people’s fortune deteriorate to the extreme,” Yu Ziyan said.

"Senior, do you know how to break this method?" Mu Zhian humbly asked for advice.

The beautiful and elegant Taoist nun gently shook her head and said, "I have only heard of methods that can turn someone's luck bad, but I have never seen them."

Looking at the somewhat disappointed young man, Yu Ziyan smiled again and said, "If you care about your maid, I can investigate this matter for you."

Given Mu Zhian's current value, it's worth it for her to do this.

After all, he has the Spirit Dragon behind him, and his own talent, even being a natural furnace for cultivation, makes it all worthwhile.

A hint of unexpected joy flashed in Mu Zhian's eyes as he said, "Thank you, senior. I will do my best to fulfill any requests you may have in the future!"

Yu Ziyan gave Mu Zhian a deep look, a faint smile appearing on her face.

"You may leave now. I will have someone investigate this matter, and I will inform you if there is any news."

Mu Zhian stood up to take his leave, but before leaving, he seemed to remember something and suddenly turned around and asked:

"By the way, senior, do many disciples of the Pilgrimage Hall go on dates on weekdays?"

Yu Ziyan gently shook her head: "Not many. Usually, the sect disciples are either cultivating or going down the mountain to carry out certain sect missions."

Mu Zhian was slightly relieved and nodded, saying, "This junior will not disturb your meditation any longer. I will take my leave now."

There weren't many disciples at the pilgrimage site, which meant there was no need to worry about the date getting out to others.

He doesn't need to do anything now; he can simply relax and enjoy tomorrow's date.

……

After bidding farewell to the head of Daofeng, Mu Zhian did not return directly, but went to Canghai Peak again. He waited for a while in front of the main hall and finally met Bai Ruoxi, who had been eagerly awaiting his arrival.

She walked gracefully out of the hall in a pristine white gown, her full, firm breasts swaying, and exquisitely embroidered shoes treading the ground, exuding a cool and aloof air.

When the girl saw Mu Zhian, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and a faint smile appeared on her face. She came up to him, looked up at him, and said, "Why are you here?"

That originally aloof temperament seemed to suddenly have a touch of fragility.

Mu Zhian gazed into Bai Ruoxi's eyes and said, "I just wanted to come and pick you up, is that not allowed?"

Bai Ruoxi blushed slightly and nodded gently, saying, "Of course..."

As he spoke, he looked at the black sword at Mu Zhian's feet with a puzzled expression and asked, "What is this...?"

"Sister Mengrou gave it to me not long ago. It allows me to fly freely on a sword for up to an hour," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Then, noticing that many disciples around him were looking at him, especially with what seemed like hostility in their eyes, Mu Zhian continued, "Let's go back first."

Bai Ruoxi hummed in agreement and then summoned her flying sword.

Just then, she felt her waist being gently embraced. She turned her head to look at Mu Zhian with a helpless expression in her eyes.

Mu Zhian explained, "The Black Sword's flying time is almost over. You wouldn't want your Daoist partner to suddenly fall off a cliff halfway through the flight, would you?"

The reason was quite legitimate, but Bai Ruoxi deeply doubted Mu Zhian's true purpose. However, feeling the boy's chest gently pressed against her back, she remained silent, which was considered as tacitly acquiescing to Mu Zhian's actions.
