Alien Science Cultivation

Chapter 71 Entering Shadow Peak

Perhaps it was the blessing of that pristine white robe. Thinking of this, Zhang Qiang averted his gaze! Lin Ling heard the high-ranking immortal call her "sister." Perhaps because she was young, calling her "sister" was not a big deal. But then, the "young master uncle" in the back... Lin Ling thought she had misheard. Out of habit, she pulled up her sleeves again, only to notice the changes in her clothes, then her hair, and once again timidly looked at Zhang Qiang! From a mortal to a direct disciple of a sect elder, with the blessing of what seemed like the sect master, a young master uncle instantly became an immortal. It's not just Lin Ling, but anyone present would never dare dream of such a thing! "Zhang Qiang... take your great-grandmaster down to rest..." "Great-grandmaster uncle..." As Wang Yan's gentle voice fell, everyone was stunned again! Then, a chorus of respectful greetings, "Great-grandmaster uncle..." Lin Ling must have been stunned. Honestly, Zhang Qiang was truly stunned... In just one day, he went from a teammate to his own great-grandmaster uncle! The key was still mortal! Zhang Qiang quickly stepped out of the crowd and stood before Lin Ling, preparing to salute again, but Lin Ling grabbed his sleeve and sprinted backward, hiding at the back of the group! "Brother Qiang... what... should I do?... am I... dreaming...?" Lin Ling asked anxiously, her voice trembling uncontrollably from nervousness. "Lin... Uncle Master... this is all real... you need to slowly adapt... While strength is respected in the world of immortal cultivation... seniority in a sect is also a form of strength... Although you're still a mortal now... in time, you could still be the first to reach the summit of the Qingshan Sect... just like you're the first in the group to reach the finish line... work hard..." Zhang Qiang's voice was neither loud nor soft, but the cultivators could hear it clearly. Yes, Zhang Qiang was doing it on purpose, wanting to give those who had mocked Lin Ling a slap in the face. Although Zhang Qiang briefly tried to remain low-key, Lin Ling's repeated glances at him had already convinced him that this would be difficult... Lin Ling looked at Zhang Qiang, as if certain that this was not a dream, that everything was real. She could no longer control her breathing, trying to calm herself down! But she hadn't noticed that pulling Zhang Qiang's sleeve so closely, accompanied by the rise and fall of her chest and heavy breathing, made Zhang Qiang extremely embarrassed. Her delicate face was as smooth and delicate as white jade, and her cheeks, slightly flushed with nervousness, were like peach blossoms blooming in spring, delicate and tempting. Her curved eyebrows were as slender and soft as a crescent moon, and beneath them were a pair of clear eyes, like a deep pool hiding a shining star, bright and moving. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, like the light wings of a butterfly. Her small nose was straight and beautiful, and below it was a cherry mouth with no rouge, which seemed to exude fragrance when slightly opened. Her face was beautifully contoured, with soft lines, every detail was just right, as if it were a work of art carefully crafted by God. If Wang Yan's is the call of the wild, then the beauty of Lin Ling in front of her is the beautiful girl next door that touches the heart.

As time passed, sounds of surprise could be heard from the team from time to time. There were also several instances where elders came in person to accept disciples. However, after being overshadowed by Lin Ling's brilliance, the sounds of surprise at the scene were no longer so exciting and moving.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the mountaintops, and everyone, led by the monks from each peak, flew to their assigned peaks. Elder Li personally picked up Lin Ling, and the sight of her repeatedly looking back at Zhang Qiang made the other monks envious!

Shadow Peak had a total of 22 new students: 18 women and 4 men, making it a team with a particularly pronounced female-dominated population. Zhang Qiang, stepping atop a massive flying sword bound for Shadow Peak, glanced silently around, his brow furrowing slightly. "This is over... This is another panda-level existence... What's the point of keeping a low profile... Ugh..." Zhang Qiang was speechless. As the flying sword approached, Shadow Peak slowly became clearer before everyone's eyes.

The entire mountain was blanketed in a blanket of green vegetation, accentuating its stillness. Several rivers, moderate in size, crisscrossed the peak, occasionally spotted by birds and beasts, wandering along its banks and through the forests. A massive rock on the peak resembled a pitch-black mountain cat, crouching on the summit, its head pointed toward the setting sun. The afterglow of the setting sun reflected off the cat-like rock, like a sleeping black cat slowly awakening. Beneath the cat, several distinctive buildings loomed, their exteriors covered in unknown vegetation, resembling terrestrial creepers, obscuring the structures. Only a vague outline of the buildings could be discerned... The flying swords flew swiftly, and within a quarter of an hour, they arrived in front of the main building. As usual, they lined up, awaiting the instructions of the Shadow Peak leader. "Brothers...sisters...don't be nervous. The rules of the Qingshan Sect are the same as those of the Shadow Peak. As long as you don't fight, everything else is fine...There are dormitories on the left, one per person. New students are currently assigned to the third floor. Of course, you can also create your own caves...My name is Wang Yu, you can call me Senior Brother Wang or Senior Brother Yu...Okay...let's meet in this building tomorrow morning to make the arrangements...Um, that's all, everyone, dismiss." Perhaps it was his first time leading the group, or perhaps he was shy in front of so many beautiful women. Although Senior Brother Wang's speech was halting, everyone got the general idea. Most of the girls began to head to the dormitories, while a few began to examine the mountain structure, including Chen Ying. Zhang Qiang had always been curious about this girl. She seemed to be like him, always trying to keep a low profile! She didn't speak during the entire journey. Her light gray robe made her originally fair, oval face look even duller. Her chest seemed deliberately compressed, making her originally curvy curves look unnatural and less lively. Zhang Qiang was certain she was a beauty, and she dressed this way simply to avoid drawing attention. As if sensing Zhang Qiang's passing gaze, she rolled her eyes, gave him a quick glance, and then flew towards the summit! "Looks like she's watching me too?... It's just a coincidence that she caught my casual glance... We're all at the Qi Training Stage, so we can't open up our spiritual consciousness at any moment, right? Never mind... As long as you don't bother me, I won't bother you much... I'm going to the dorm... I'll open a cave tomorrow! After over 20 years in the Shadow Forest, I'm used to cave life..." Zhang Qiang thought, and headed towards the dorm. On the mountaintop, Chen Ying stared at Zhang Qiang's back in the darkness! "You can't even see through this person? You're an intelligent being from a Level 7 technological civilization, my golden finger! I was counting on you to help me regain my status as the boss on this Level 4 cultivation planet... I've only been here for half a year, and I've already encountered someone you can't even fathom..." Chen Ying spoke, seemingly addressing the air, yet also as if mumbling to herself. "Sorry... There are generally only two scenarios for this situation. One, he's from a more civilized world, or a less civilized planet. But it's almost impossible for a person from a barbaric planet to cross over to a higher civilization, so he's more likely from a world above Level 7 civilization. Host, be careful..." The voice of her golden finger echoed in Chen Ying's mind. "It's so dangerous, and you want me to come to Shadow Peak with him? I'm just an engineer, not a weapon bearer..." Chen Ying responded angrily. "Host, calm down... The cost of any civilization's leap is enormous. For the sake of our home planet, if he truly comes from a lower-level civilization, we can seek his cooperation. They want to advance to a higher level, while we want to descend to a lower level. While the gap is significant, we're all on this Level 4 planet. Host, please work harder, learn more, and then exchange knowledge with him. It's not impossible. Rest assured, host, I'll do my best to ensure your safety..." "What else can I say..." As Chen Ying's voice fell, she vanished from the spot, reappearing a moment later in a cave. Just where Chen Ying had vanished, another figure appeared in the night sky, rapidly heading towards the dormitory.
