While waiting in the Golden Sword Plaza, Lin Yi did not use the Concealing Breath Technique, only reducing his presence by 20% with his Survivor Path title, and he was standing in the most conspicuous place in the center of the plaza.
Consequently, some Inner Sect Disciples passing by noticed his presence, and they instantly saluted him respectfully, addressing him as Uncle Master Lin.
Lin Yi responded with a smile. The instances he read about or saw in TV dramas, where direct disciples bullied other disciples, practically did not exist in Golden Sword Peak.
If caught by Gold Sword Zen Ren or Senior Brother Zhou Yun Feng, the offender would receive a severe punishment. Whether such instances occur in the other Golden Core Lineages, he was not sure.
Among the disciples directly taught by Gold Sword Zen Ren, the majority almost never made public appearances. They would either be cultivating in seclusion all day or out for experiential training.
Once one becomes a direct disciple and receives ample cultivation resources, it would be meaningless to bully disciples at the Qi Refining Realm, instead of cultivating and pursuing higher realms.
After a while, Zhou Yun Feng flew into the Ferry Platform of the Golden Sword Peak on his sword, instantly all surrounding Inner Sect Disciples saluted and called out, “Senior Uncle.”
As the eldest disciple of the Golden Sword Lineage, Zhou Yun Feng was responsible for handling all affairs, except those that absolutely required Gold Sword Zen Ren’s attention, so he couldn’t possibly stay at the Golden Sword Peak Cave Mansion all day.
However, once the Heaven Pill is completely refined and the cultivation base is restored, Zhou Yun Feng would definitely go into closed-door cultivation to attempt to breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm.
Lin Yi also advanced quickly and saluted with a smile, “Greetings, Senior Brother.”
Zhou Yun Feng waved his hand and said with a laugh, “Little Junior Brother, there’s no need for such formalities between us. After Miss Liu regained some consciousness, Senior Sister Qi sent her to recuperate on Gold Jade Peak.”
Then he shook his head and said, “However, she has wished to see you all this time to thank you for saving her life twice. Sister Qi thinks that meeting you would be beneficial for her recovery, so I had no choice but to interrupt your cultivation.”
“No bother, I have just finished my seclusion and indeed, I should meet her since the incident happened partly because of me.” Lin Yi gently nodded, both morally and emotionally he felt he should see Miss Liu Qiao Ling.
Zhou Yun Feng patted Lin Yi on the shoulder, “Junior Brother, you don’t have to blame yourself. Who could have expected that Feng Yu Cheng would commit such atrocity.”
He then added in a teasing tone, “A few days ago, he was tried and convicted by the Tribunal. I forgot to ask you to help his spirit pass on.”
“Such a person, even turning him into ashes wouldn’t be excessive. I certainly wouldn’t perform a soul-releasing ceremony for him.” Lin Yi replied with a laugh.
Then, Lin Yi left Golden Sword Peak Ferry Platform with Zhou Yun Feng on their swords, and headed to the nearby Gold Jade Peak, the mountain named by Second Senior Sister Qi Jing Yu.
Upon reaching the skies above Gold Jade Peak Ferry Platform, Lin Yi saw Senior Sister Qi Jing Yu waiting below and noticed that it seemed to be teeming with female disciples.
Noticing Lin Yi’s confusion, Zhou Yun Feng couldn’t help but laugh and explain, “There aren’t many female disciples in the Golden Sword Lineage, in order for them to cultivate in peace without any disturbance, your senior sister designated this mountain’s cave mansions for female disciples to lease.”
After landing on the platform, Lin Yi saluted towards Qi Jing Yu, “Greetings, Second Senior Sister.”
“Junior Brother, no need for formalities, let’s go.” Qi Jing Yu said with a smile. She was filled with gratitude towards Lin Yi, her Junior Brother.
Under Qi Jing Yu’s lead, they arrived at a cave mansion located halfway up the mountain. Arriving near the mansion, they saw blooming flowers along the way and even more flowers inside the mansion, an ocean of flowers of all types, competing for brightness.
Judging by the growth state of the flowers, they would have been planted in recent years. Before she received the Sky Herb, Sister Qi spent her entire day in the Pill Hall with a stone-cold expression and wouldn’t have had the mood to plant flowers.
Inside the mansion, a small stream flowed past, with numerous lotus flowers in the stream. The sheer number of flowers lifted one’s mood instantly.
“Your senior sister loves flowers. I haven’t seen such a sea of flowers in a long time.” Zhou Yun Feng, looking at these flowers, couldn’t help but laugh.
“Aww, Senior Sister, it turns out that Senior Brother knows you quite well.” Lin Yi teased jokingly.
Qi Jing Yu giggled, shot Zhou Yun Feng a look, and said, “Little Junior Brother, I too know your Senior Brother very well. His most defining trait is that he loves to play dumb.”
Zhou Yun Feng touched his nose, he didn’t have his usual calm demeanor when he faced all kinds of situations, and laughed somewhat awkwardly, “Why talk about these things with Junior Brother? Let’s go and see Miss Liu.”
“Senior Sister, you’re certainly right, Senior Brother indeed loves to play dumb,” Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh.
He genuinely understood why. Previously, with his cultivation base damaged and no chance of reaching the Golden Core stage, Senior Brother didn’t want to hold Sister Qi back.
Even now, though their relationship became kind of ambiguous, they didn’t break the ice, and the reason was simply that Senior Brother wasn’t sure if he could restore his cultivation base and get back on the path of cultivation after taking the Heaven Pill.
However, since he had sworn brotherhood to Elder Dan God, as long as his alchemy skills were elevated to the high grade, he would be qualified to use the Spirit Grass in the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden.
