Mysterious mirror hanging high

The female Jindan cultivator sighed, "I'm not questioning you two. It's common knowledge that Dongyue Peak is struggling financially. On the other hand, Nanyue Peak is incredibly wealthy. We're all from the same sect, so I wonder if they're helping out..."

"It's not Yifeng after all!"

Shuiyue Zhenren said softly, "Besides, the situation in [West Mountain] and [North Mountain] isn't necessarily much better than our [East Mountain]. They're all relying on [South Mountain] for support, so how can they possibly take care of everything?"

"Even if we need to help, shouldn't we focus on Zhongyue Peak first?"

The female Jindan cultivator said bitterly, "Back then, the Five Masters of Songfeng each established their own sects and divided the Five Mountains. They were hoping for a flourishing of all schools of thought... but they unexpectedly planted hidden dangers, so that today, the disciples of the Five Mountains are like strangers. Aside from the Yuanying True Lords of a few peaks who still maintain contact, how can the remaining disciples still maintain the camaraderie of fellow disciples?"

"If I had known this would happen, why would I have done that in the first place..."

"That's enough!" Jinghua Zhenren interrupted, "The matter of spiritual resources will be coordinated by Zhenjun. You go down first, don't let outsiders laugh at you!"

Jing Yu coughed lightly and walked into the General Affairs Hall. When the female Jindan cultivator saw the gray-robed young man, she realized that she had said the wrong thing. Her face changed slightly and she quickly apologized and left.

"Master Jinghua, Master Shuiyue! The one-year period has come to an end, and Xuanjing has come to bid farewell today." Jing Yuyan said, "The Peak Master is probably still cultivating. My communication talisman has not yet arrived, so please let me know on your behalf."

"You're welcome, Daoist Xuanjing." Jinghua Zhenren said with a smile, "Are you planning to go to [Xiyue]?"

"That's the order."

"Master Qi has a sinister nature and comes from an awkward background, so he's not easy to get along with. Fellow Daoist, you'd better be careful!" Master Shuiyue whispered.

Jing Yu was stunned, thinking, "How dare a Jindan True Master criticize a True Lord? He's the master of a peak... Has the relationship between Songfeng and the Five Mountains reached this point?"

He thought again, "Xiao Guanyue is so focused on cultivation that he doesn't care about worldly affairs. It's inevitable that the disciples of Dongyue Peak will follow suit. If someone focuses on mundane affairs, they will inevitably be marginalized. Dongyue Peak is so huge, but there aren't many people with the talent for mundane affairs... As a result, the industries under his jurisdiction are not being managed well, and even the annual spiritual resources are difficult to guarantee!"

"No wonder we have to establish a connection with the Xuan Ce Sect. The landlord has no more food left..."

Then he stood up, said goodbye, and flew towards [Xiyue Peak].

"Xiyue Peak..."

Jing Yu looked up and saw that the peak of Mount Xiyue was also covered by a formation. With a helpless look on his face, he took out the token and waved it at the formation.

Not long after, a young woman in a silver-white robe came down the mountain. The woman had an extremely beautiful face. If we ignore the influence of her fate, her appearance was almost as good as Li Jiangmei. Her figure was even more exquisite, and even in the loose robe one could still see some clues.

Jing Yu didn't dare to look any further, but simply cupped his hands and said, "This must be Fellow Daoist Xu!"

The woman nodded with a smile, her eyes swept over Jing Yu, and she said with interest, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Xuan Jing, my name is Xu Baiwei."

"Sure enough!" Jing Yu said secretly.

The Five Mountains of Songfeng Pavilion have always been independent, and the disciples are not shared. The master of each peak has his own team.

Among them, [Zhongyue] has the largest influence and the quality of its disciples is the most stable. The golden and purple genius of this generation is Qi Baisheng, the direct grandson of [Zhongyue Zhenjun] Qi Liyan.

In addition, among the other four mountains, only [Xiyue] has a genius disciple who has achieved golden and purple elixir, and that is Xu Baiwei in front of us!

The reason why Jing Yu didn't dare to look at this person for too long was not only because Xu Baiwei was the direct disciple of Xiyue Peak's Master Qi Zhenjun [Yang Dingfeng], but also because she was also the concubine of this Master Qi!

This matter sounds quite shocking. Although there are many precedents of master-disciple union in the fairy world, and it is even more common in the magic world, such a thing is still a taboo in the righteous way, and it is even a great disrespect to the Confucian orthodoxy of Zhongyue Peak.

The reason why Zhongyue Zhenjun never expressed any opinion on this matter was because Qi Zhenjun [Yang Dingfeng] and Xu Baiwei really could not find any fault.

It was because Xu Baiwei was first taken in as a concubine by Yang Dingfeng, and then she gradually revealed her talent in cultivation. Finally, after her elixir became golden and purple, she was accepted as a disciple by Yang Dingfeng as an exception.

It is said that when Xu Baiwei formed the elixir that day, the sky and the earth above [Xiyue] changed color, and when [Heavenly Purple Qi] came to congratulate, all the True Lords dropped their jaws. Even the True Lord of Chess Yang Dingfeng himself was caught off guard and lamented that he had missed a piece in his life's plan.

Of course, compared to Yang Dingfeng's original background, this little thing between him and his concubine and disciple was nothing...

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Jing, please follow Bai Wei."

The two of them arrived in front of a cave on Xiyue Peak. Xu Baiwei smiled and said, "Today is the day when your training at Dongyue Peak ends. Master has been waiting for you in the cave since early this morning."

Jing Yu showed an expression of being flattered: "How dare you let Master Qi wait for me... This is really embarrassing for Xuan Jing!"

But he sneered in his heart: "He is indeed the chess master who has calculated everything and arranged all the pieces in the world..."

When they entered the cave, they saw a middle-aged man in a black fur coat with his hands behind his back, his back to them. When Jing Yu and Xu Baiwei stepped into the side room, the man slowly turned around, revealing a pale face that looked slightly sick.

The master of Xiyue Peak, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, Qi Zhenjun, Yang Dingfeng!

"The mysterious mirror has arrived!"

Yang Dingfeng seemed to be very afraid of the cold. He tightened the collar of his black fur coat, coughed violently several times, and continued, "Bai Wei, go and practice."

Xu Baiwei's expression tightened. She looked at the stove behind Yang Dingfeng and whispered, "Master, would you like some Hengyang Charcoal?"

"No need, just go down."

Yang Dingfeng said lightly.

"Yes...Master."

When Xu Baiwei left, only Jing Yu and Yang Dingfeng were left in the cave.

Yang Dingfeng's body trembled slightly, as if a chill had risen from his bones. He quickly leaned closer to the stove behind him and said self-deprecatingly, "I'm sorry to make Xuan Jing laugh. This [Nine Tribulations Heavenly Cold Poison] has seeped into Yang's soul. Even gods cannot cure it. It's an old ailment."

"I dare not..." Jing Yu whispered, "I have heard the reason behind this, and I actually admire him very much."

"Haha." Yang Dingfeng's lips curled up slightly: "It seems that you know a lot."

"Indeed, Yang was originally a demon cultivator from the [Tiannan Demon Realm], and was secretly sent to the Zhongzhou Territory to be an undercover agent for the righteous sects. This [Nine Tribulations Heavenly Cold Poison] was precisely the method used by the Tiannan Demon Realm at that time..."

Jing Yu's scalp tingled. This Qi Zhenjun in front of him actually didn't shy away from his own background and just spoke about it so openly...

It’s no wonder that Master Yanqi of Jinghuahui in Dongyue has an awkward background, because Yang Dingfeng is originally an authentic Tiannan magic cultivator!
