Chapter 116 The Number One Genius in the Cultivation World

"Don't worry, nothing could happen to me."

The Boundless Sword Sect is no longer the obscure sect it once was; many cultivators are now eagerly awaiting the disciple selection ceremony to enter their sect.

Things have started to get better.

After Qi Huai left, there was no one left in their sect to teach alchemy. Yun Fuzhao thought it over and over and decided that he still had to find a teacher.

Qi Huai alone cannot do it.

Qu Wangzhi: "Go find her."

He gave Yun Fuzhao an address.

Peach Blossom Island?

Still in the human realm.

“This is a famous place of seclusion,” Qu Wangzhi said. “Many powerful figures who are tired of cultivation choose to live in seclusion there.”

He handed a translucent jade bracelet to Yun Fuzhao, saying, "Give this to her."

"Is this alchemist an old acquaintance of my master?"

For some reason, Qu Wangzhi's expression became somewhat unnatural upon hearing these words.

Yun Fuzhao sensed something fishy; he had a feeling that this alchemist and his master had an unspeakable relationship.

"Why ask so many questions? You'll find out when you go."

Yun Fuzhao nodded, "Okay."

Yun Fuzhao had been to the human realm many times and knew the way well. Riding on the Wuji, she arrived at Peach Blossom Island in just half a day.

Jiaoyu climbed from her wrist to her shoulder.

Hey, are you awake?

The spiritual veins of their sect have fallen, and many rare spiritual materials have grown there. Herbivorous spiritual beasts have all made their home in the back mountains of their sect.

It started with low-level herbivores, which then attracted high-level carnivorous spirit beasts, and so on.

Yun Fuzhao had even seen an eighth-grade spirit beast.

For Jiaoyu, having so many spirit beasts was like heaven; she ate buffets every day.

I've gained quite a bit of weight recently.

The dragon features on its body became increasingly obvious.

If it weren't for the Concealment Pill, the fact that it belonged to the Dragon Clan would have been impossible to hide.

Jiaoyu yawned with her mouth wide open, then affectionately rubbed her face against Yun Fuzhao's.

“Even without fighting, you’ll gain a lot of weight,” Yun Fuzhao said. “Be careful you don’t turn into a big fat dragon.”

Jiaoyu let out a low growl in protest.

Yun Fuzhao patted its head with a smile, "Big Fat Dragon is also my precious treasure."

Soon, she found Peach Blossom Island, which Qu Wangzhi had mentioned.

The scenery is beautiful, and the path leading to the small village is lined with peach blossoms. When the wind blows, the delicate pink petals fall like a light rain.

There was a small river nearby, and Yun Fuzhao saw several women squatting there, chatting and laughing, washing their clothes.

"Wang Wang!"

A large yellow dog suddenly appeared out of nowhere and barked wildly at Yun Fuzhao.

It gave her a huge fright.

The barking of the dog attracted the attention of the others, who all turned to look at Yun Fuzhao.

Yun Fuzhao felt like an outsider who had mistakenly entered the Peach Blossom Spring in the story of Peach Blossom Spring.

A woman with an ethereal air walked towards her. "Who are you?"

Yun Fuzhao quickly stated his purpose, "I've come to see Senior Zhan Miaoyan."

The woman raised an eyebrow slightly. "I am Zhan Miaoyan."

She scrutinized Yun Fuzhao carefully, and after a long while, she said, "Please come with me."

Yun Fuzhao followed her forward, and along the way, he received many stares from ordinary-looking "commoners".

She moved her hands and feet nervously.

What's terrifying isn't being watched, but that she can't sense any spiritual energy from any of the people being watched.

In other words, any one of them here is at least in the late Nascent Soul stage.

It's so scary.

Zhan Miaoyan led her to a small bamboo house. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Yun Fuzhao met the eyes of the man sitting there.

"Xi Mo?" Zhan Miaoyan asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

Xi Mo...

Wait, why does that sound so familiar...?

Hiss, isn't that the creator of the Four Symbols Returning to Origin Formation, ranked second on the Famous Formation List?

No different from the first company's signature, this time Xi Mo was so high-profile that he wished he could have "I created the Four Symbols Returning to Origin Formation" engraved on his forehead.

Xi Mo smiled and said, "I just happened to be passing by, so I thought I'd drop by to see you."

He turned to Yun Fuzhao, "Who is this young girl?"

"My name is Yun Fuzhao."

The two looked surprised upon hearing this.

The name Yun Fuzhao is known to everyone in the cultivation world.

Not long ago, she organized another "day trip to the Demon Realm," which made the other sect disciples extremely envious.

Xi Mo knew her mainly because of Wen Yan. The latter had mentioned her quite often, his words always revealing his dissatisfaction with her monopolizing the title of 'Number One Genius in the Cultivation World'.

Indeed, in today's cultivation world, most cultivators consider Yun Fuzhao to be the most talented among all disciples, even Wen Yan and Yu Nian'er have to take a backseat.

He reached the Nascent Soul stage at a young age, formed a contract with the Limitless Sword, joined the Four-Tailed Fox Clan, befriended the Demon Clan, and made the Boundless Sword Sect the third-ranked major sect in one fell swoop...

Her story could be told for days and nights.

Xi Mo had always wanted to meet this disciple, but he never expected to meet him by chance today.

Although Zhan Miaoyan knew about Yun Fuzhao, she had long since retired and was no longer concerned with outside affairs.

"Why did you come to me?"

“It’s like this, senior. I’ve come to invite you to be a pill refinement teacher at our Boundless Sword Sect.” Yun Fuzhao took out the bracelet. “By the way, this is something my master asked me to give you.”

Upon seeing this, Zhan Miaoyan froze, taking it in disbelief. "You...who gave this to you?"

"My master."

Xi Mo guessed something from her expression, "Junior sister, is this his?"

Zhan Miaoyan nodded, her fingertips trembling. "What...what's his name?"

“It is distorted and presumptuous.”

“Qu Xuan, courtesy name Wang Zhi,” Zhan Miaoyan murmured.

A shadow crossed Xi Mo's eyes, but it was quickly concealed. "Senior brother isn't dead...?"

Yun Fuzhao's eyes darted around, as if she knew something extraordinary.

The complex emotions quickly disappeared. Zhan Miaoyan returned the bracelet to Yun Fuzhao, composed herself, and asked with a stern face, "If you want me to go to your sect, you have to make him come to see me in person."

Xi Mo: "Junior sister, didn't you say you would never interfere in the affairs of the cultivation world again?"

"I have my own choices."

Yun Fuzhao hadn't expected this, so she sent a text message to Qu Wangzhi. He replied quickly.

It seems to have been expected.

Yun Fuzhao glanced at the impeccably dressed Xi Mo and decided to remind her master: Master, remember to dress yourself up, lest you be outshone by your rival in love.

Qu Wangzhi: ...Shut up.

Yun Fuzhao laughed out loud; she knew it was about this.

It's so easy to guess.

Zhan Miaoyan tried her best to appear indifferent, "Will he come?"

"They will come, don't worry, senior."

Xi Mo's expression faded.

Yun Fuzhao had been observing him.

Xie Wan said that being number one has a bad reputation. Although she wasn't sure if her master was number one, she always felt that the reputation issue was inextricably linked to Xi Mo.

However, judging solely by looks, her master is completely outmatched. How can that old geezer compare to the dignified Xi Mo?

Soon, a gust of wind swept in.

A handsome man with a face like jade appeared before the three of them.

Yun Fuzhao: "?"
