Chapter 151: The Sixth Elder

    Trantor: yikaii Editor: yikaii

    Dust-Free Peak, the mountain where the elegant Sixth Elder resides.

    Dust-Free Peak is somewhat simr to Moon Laurel Immortal Pce, only epting female disciples, fluttering like swallows, with beauties like clouds, and the most beautiful among them is the Sixth Elder.

    Rumors say that the Sixth Elder and the master of Moon Laurel Immortal Pce are close friends.

    Lu Yang had heard his senior brothers talk about the Sixth Elder many times, all advising not to loseposure upon seeing the Sixth Elder, for she is a woman of breathtaking beauty.

    “Lu Yang? What brings you here?” At the foot of Dust-Free Peak, Lu Yang encountered Peach Blossom Leaf.

    Peach Blossom Leaf is tall and radiant, standing out in a crowd.

    Lu Yang presented the ancient book: “Eldest Senior Sister told me to give this book to the Sixth Elder.”

    “My master is out on an errand and won’t be back for over half an hour. Would you like toe in and sit?” Peach Blossom Leaf invited.

    Lu Yang showed a hesitant eagerness: “Isn’t it improper? I’m a man, after all…”

    “It’s fine, it’s fine. Anyway, we’re the two with the lowest cultivation levels in Dust-Free Peak; nothing will happen.”

    Lu Yang silently observed Peach Blossom Leaf, whose eyes were clear, seemingly unaware of the psychological impact her words had on him.

    Lu Yang sighed and followed Peach Blossom Leaf, who turned her head with a sly smile.

    “Oh right, I still owe you five contribution points. I’m giving them back now.” Lu Yang had borrowed five contribution points from Peach Blossom Leaf to buy the Strength of Ten Bulls pill, which was quite helpful to him.

    “You remembered that, I had forgotten.” Peach Blossom Leaf chuckled.

    “Wait, do I also have a lot of contribution points?” Evesting Fairy remembered she is an honorary guest elder of Dao Seeking Sect and had even killed a Unity Stage cultivator, for which Yun Zhi rewarded her many contribution points.

    “Lu Yang! Lu Yang! I want to exchange them, I want to exchange them.”

    Evesting Fairy made a fuss, and Lu Yang couldn’t help but say, “Once we leave Dust-Free Peak, I’ll take you to the contribution exchange board, and you can buy whatever you want.”

    “That’s more like it.” Evesting Fairy nodded in satisfaction, feeling Lu Yang was a promising talent.

    “Be careful over there, definitely do not go there.” Peach Blossom Leaf pointed to a pool, warning Lu Yang.

    The pool was shrouded in mist, obscuring what was inside, apanied by delightfulughter.

    “Senior Sisters like to bathe there. A few years ago, a senior brother, confident in his stealth techniques, sneaked into Dust-Free Peak, hoping to peep at the Senior Sisters. Then we heard the senior brother’s screams.”

    “Where is this senior brother now?”

    “Given his proficiency in stealth, he has vanished from the mortal world.”

    “…”

    Geez, Dust-Free Peak is dangerous.

    Lu Yang was d he was a man of integrity.

    Peach Blossom Leaf led Lu Yang to her usual practice area: “Fancy a spar?”

    “Sure.” Lu Yang happily agreed, drawing out his Qingfeng Sword, recalling that Evesting Fairy remembered Lu Yang is a sword spirit root, theoretically meant to wield a sword.

    She hadn’t seen Lu Yang use a sword since her revival.

    “Junior Brother Lu, be careful, I’ve learned something new these past two months.” Peach Blossom Leaf opened a red paper umbre.

    With a twist of her wrist and a slight loosening of her grip, the umbre spun, scattering peach blossoms like rain and snow, blocking Lu Yang’s vision.

    Sword light filled the air, sweeping through with a whistling sound, intending to clear the falling petals.

    Behind Lu Yang, the peach petals gradually formed a silhouette. Peach Blossom Leaf closed the umbre, swinging it downwards.

    Lu Yang seemed to have anticipated Peach Blossom Leaf’s move, holding the sword behind him with one hand, blocking the strike.

    The material of the red paper umbre was unknown, as it could sh directly with the Qingfeng Sword without any damage.

    Sword light shed unexpectedly, and Peach Blossom Leaf was surprised by the swiftness of Lu Yang’s sword moves.

    “Dotting Technique!” Lu Yang’s gaze sharpened, showing no mercy as he aimed for Peach Blossom Leaf’s chest.

    Peach Blossom Leaf chuckled softly, stepping backward. Her umbre tip collided with the sword tip, trying to disrupt Lu Yang’s swordy. However, Lu Yang’s hand was steady, showing no tremor, relentlessly pursuing Peach Blossom Leaf.

    Amidst the rain of peach blossoms, Qingfeng Sword shed with the red paper umbre, their figures agilely moving past each other, disappearing from sight.

    Both had their moments of advantage, yet neither found the right opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

    Suddenly, Lu Yang’s eyes lit up, finding a gap in Peach Blossom Leaf’s defense. Qingfeng Sword, smooth as a swimming fish, wove through the rain of peach blossoms, resting on Peach Blossom Leaf’s neck.

    “I concede.” Peach Blossom Leaf surrendered with a gesture of resignation.

    Lu Yang changed his move, stabbing towards an empty spot. The real Peach Blossom Leaf, astonished at the gleaming sword tip aimed at her forehead, truly conceded this time. The rain of peach blossoms vanished, and the previously surrendering Peach Blossom Leaf disappeared, all being an illusion.

    “How did you realize the real me was there?” Peach Blossom Leaf didn’t mind losing; she was good at learning from post-battle experiences.

    “I practice the ‘Enlightenment of Heart and Nature Technique,’ which can see through illusions. It’s your nemesis.”

    “Enlightenment of Heart and Nature Technique? Never heard of it.”

    “I wrote it myself.” Lu Yang boasted, as writing one’s own cultivation technique was no small feat.

    Peach Blossom Leaf was about to say more when a fiery crimson mist flew over their heads.

    “Master is back.”

    Peach Blossom Leaf led Lu Yang to the Sixth Elder’s residence, and indeed, as his senior brothers had said, the Sixth Elder was extremely beautiful. Unlike Eldest Senior Sister’s cold beauty, the Sixth Elder’s smile was gentle, like a caring older sister, giving off a very warm feeling.

    Hu—Hu—Hu—

    Suddenly, Lu Yang felt like he was suffocating, as if the oxygen around him had vanished. He struggled to breathe, trying to squeeze some oxygen from the air, to no avail.

    “Peach Blossom Leaf, you didn’t tell her about me?”

    Peach Blossom Leaf pped her forehead: “I forgot.”

    Quickly pulling Lu Yang to a distance from the Sixth Elder, he breathed as if a fish returned to water.

    “Hu—Hu—What’s going on?”

    Peach Blossom Leaf apologized with a smile: “Sorry, I forgot to mention, my master is a wless Immortal Physique, untouched by dust, automatically expelling air around her. She can’t control it, so those close to her might feel suffocated. Just hold your breath, and it’ll be fine.”

    Lu Yang: “…”

    No wonder people say the Sixth Elder is a beauty that takes one’s breath away.

    Are you all in the Dao Seeking Sect this straightforward, not even using adjectives, just telling the blunt truth?

    Lu Yang held his breath and approached the Sixth Elder again.

    For a Foundation Building cultivator, not breathing for a short period is manageable with preparation. By the Golden Core stage, internal cirction can sustain life without the need for breathing.

    “Lu Yang pays respects to the Sixth Elder.” Lu Yang bowed respectfully, “My master mentioned you, saying he has always regarded you as an elder sister.”

    On the journey here, Daoist Non-Speaker told Lu Yang about his rtionship with the Sixth Elder, describing it in a touching manner that moved both Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

    The Sixth Elder scoffed: “Is that so? I’ve always regarded him as a dear grandson.”

    Lu Yang was at a loss for words, considering whether he should only mention Eldest Senior Sister when introducing himself in the future. Perhaps it’s best to avoid mentioning his master’s name, which seems to bring embarrassment and animosity.
