Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

Among these young ladies, only a few had ever seen Qin Yu from afar, and even then, it wasn’t very clear. They had merely heard that this direct disciple of the Sect Leader possessed remarkable good looks.

Now, witnessing it with their own eyes, they realized the rumors were not exaggerated in the slightest.

Originally, many among them felt anxious and worried about their future and fate.

After all, widespread rumors claimed Qin Yu had reached the age of thirty, an age old enough to be their elder, evoking a vague sense of distance.

Yet at this moment, each one was filled with happiness and laughter.

Good-looking and talented — if they could follow him, in days to come...

Wouldn’t they just be awaiting a life of prosperity?!

That’s why they say young ladies are naive, not knowing the heights of heaven and depths of earth.

Little do they know, their Sect Leader and Elder Liu are quite frightened, while they are proactively presenting themselves.

"What... is going on here?"

Qin Yu slowed his steps, musing to himself.

Had he not sensed the benevolence of this group of young ladies, each wearing an innocent and shy smile, he might have turned around and fled.

In no time, Qin Yu was surrounded by this throng of youthful beauty.

"Brother Qin, I’m the granddaughter of Elder Wang..."

"Brother Qin, I’m the disciple personally taught by Elder Zhang..."

Before Qin Yu could react, the young ladies had begun introducing themselves, some even squeezing closer to him with evident enthusiasm.

For a moment, Qin Yu was at a loss, his face a mask of bewilderment and confusion.

The young ladies before him were like delicate blossoms in spring, dazzling beyond comparison, leaving him feeling somewhat surreal.

Indeed, he knew he had decent looks, but it shouldn’t make them so forward, should it?!

Something’s not right, very much not right.

Qin Yu took a deep breath, striving to maintain inner calm, adopting an upright, noble demeanor, and spoke slowly: "Ladies, please have respect and do not act this way."

Are you kidding?!

He, Qin Yu, was a gentleman.

Moreover, the Sect Leader was inside the main hall, possibly watching him.

"Heh heh..."

Yet, this group of young ladies did not restrain themselves; instead, they giggled charmingly, their eyes twinkling with allure, their manner enticingly seductive, as though they were tugging at one’s very soul.

More bold ones even dared to press themselves against Qin Yu, like entwined vines clinging tightly, unwilling to part.

"Hiss—"

Qin Yu’s body involuntarily trembled lightly, drawing in a cold breath, feeling an enigmatic heat rising within, fiercely burning.

Who in the world could resist this?!

It’s known that disciples in the Immortal Sect consume Spirit Rice infused with Spiritual Qi, making both their appearance and figure flawless.

Each one of them, picked at random, placed in Lin Xian City could be hailed as a Fairy.

But now, millions of disciples from Cyan Mountain Sect regarding Qin Yu as their unattainable dream willingly seeking closeness — it’s a scene to envy.

Yet Qin Yu dared not entertain any improper thoughts.

Because he continually felt as though eyes were watching him, and should he dare move wrongly, he might be cast out the next moment.

"Master Qin, the Sect Leader invites you inside."

Just then, a maid came to inform, causing the group of young ladies to finally restrain themselves, but their admiring gaze toward Qin Yu was undisguised.

Pure and fervent.

Without a moment’s delay, Qin Yu hurried into the grand hall.

In the hall, Su Xihe still sat on the throne of the Sect Leader, adorned in ceremonial robes that further highlighted her dignified and majestic bearing, exuding elegance and grandeur.

Below her sat the elders of Cyan Mountain Sect.

As soon as Qin Yu stepped in, everyone’s gaze naturally focused on him.

Those elders, typically stern and authoritative, now revealed rare smiles, eyes filled with admiration as they looked upon Qin Yu.

While Su Xihe and Liu Zixiao had a hint of peculiarity in their gaze.

The earlier scene outside hadn’t escaped their notice.

Especially Liu Zixiao, who had witnessed firsthand, silently marveling at the lack of fear stemming from ignorance.

Each of them being so young might only be...

She dared not envision such a bearable scenario.

As for the Sect Leader, she seemed to have guessed something, her expression not looking very pleased.

Hmph!

Those old folks remain undeterred.

Though those young ladies are beautiful, none can compare to the First Fairy of Yunlan Domain!

"Disciple Qin Yu, greets Master and all elders."

Qin Yu’s heart brimmed with doubt, yet he dared not directly inquire, only presented himself humbly, paying respectful homage.

Su Xihe nodded gently, her voice carrying a barely discernible bit of aloofness: "Yes, Qin Yu, come, sit to my right."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu’s heart couldn’t help but tremble.

In the past, only Saintess Su Xiyue was ever seated to Su Xihe’s side. Now, he was bestowed this honor, invited to sit on her right, side by side with the Saintess, his status prominent.

Reportedly, this even might place him above the elders.

Though confused by the Sect Leader’s sudden action, Qin Yu dared not resist, had to forcefully suppress the perplexity, and nervously seated himself beside Su Xihe under the observant eyes of the elders.

The elders’ expressions remained calm, seemingly seeing nothing amiss.

Su Xihe glanced at them, then slowly said: "Elders, Qin Yu is here, speak if you have anything to say."

"Sect Leader, then I’ll speak frankly."

An elder, upon hearing, stood and slightly bowed to Su Xihe, then turned his gaze towards Qin Yu with a gentle smile.

"Qin Yu, you’ve been in the sect for three months, has your progress in Alchemy Dao been favorable?"

His words evidently contained the thought of accepting Qin Yu as a disciple.

He’s even hoping Qin Yu showed no progress, giving him a perfect reason.

"Barely able to create pills."

Qin Yu confessed honestly with a tinge of embarrassment.

After all, the Master always said it was just... average.

"Able to create pills?"

The elders’ disbelief was apparent — they had been observing Qin Yu’s realm.

Now, with his realm elevated, how could he have neglected Alchemy Dao?!

Moreover, devoting all time to alchemy shouldn’t yield success so rapidly, right?

Yet, looking at Su Xihe and Liu Zixiao, they found them composed.

Ultimately, it would serve as a test, prompting Qin Yu to prove his abilities.

The Sect Leader waved forth an Alchemy Furnace, placing it in the main hall, allowing Qin Yu to calmly begin his alchemical process.

Under the witness of elders and the young ladies outside the hall, in less than an hour, the sound from within the furnace was heard.

The pill... was complete!
