Wang Tian's pov-
Hehe, who could have thought that one day I, Wang Tian would also have such an impressive personal disciple with Heavenly Spiritual Root and it's even inclined toward Wood.
Hmm. Although that kid is good his talent might become a problem.
It's Heavenly Spiritual Root though, who knows how fast it would be for him to cultivate with my high-grade Xuan-level Wood cultivation technique in this region where Wood Qi is five times more than usual?
Hm.
The imminent five-year inter-Sect competition looms on the horizon.
I could only hope that by the time it arrives, my disciple can attain the Dantian Forging realm, reaching new heights in his cultivation.
Oh right, he will probably need more pills to achieve consequent breakthroughs...
I guess, I'll have to visit Elder Cheng then.
That old man is enjoying his free life way too much recently.
I bet his disciple will turn out to be just like him.
Serves him right.
...Pov... End
Lin Yan sprinted toward the foot of the mountain and saw many wild rabbits and chickens on his route.
The pathway unfolded beneath his feet, adorned with meticulously crafted tiles, each design contributing to an intricate mosaic.
The careful arrangement facilitated his descent to the lower regions with effortless grace.
While strolling here and there, Lin Yan reached the building named Treasure Pavilion smoothly and was surprised to find that he did not even see a single person this entire time.
Where are all the people? Oh, Hello? Cultivating maybe? Ah right, this is the core region so they must be in seclusion or something...
Hmm. Xi'er must have woken up by now.
She would probably experience a breakthrough once again with all the Yang essence I had given to her...
I'll visit her when I'm done familiarizing myself with the sect.
Contemplating deeply, Lin Yan entered into the three-story tall building. The entire structure emanated a majestic aura, its entirety crafted from resplendent jade, casting an ethereal glow that accentuated its beauty.
As soon as Lin Yan entered, he noticed an elder with a head full of white hair seated on the couch behind the counter.
He was dozing off in broad daylight.
Lin Yan used his inspect skill on him while reaching toward the counter.
[ Name: Sun Jian ]
[ Age: 350 ]
[ Cultivation: 5th layer of Dantian Forging ]
[ Talent: Average ]
[ Spiritual Root: Wind & Wood ]
Hmm. Another Dantian forging realm expert. Must be an elder, I guess...
Lazing on his couch, Sun Jian suddenly noticed that someone was reaching near him. He opened his dead-like eyes and looked at Lin Yan, wondering about the identity of this new kid who wasn't even wearing a sect robe inside the core region.
He looked at Lin Yan who was midway through reaching the counter and uttered, "Halt."
...
Lin Yan was fascinated by the beauty of the interior design of the Treasure Pavilion. There were many carvings inscribed on the inner walls, they showed people fighting with the intimidating demon beasts as they flew using their swords.
Lin Yan found himself effortlessly immersed in the resplendent carved walls, which bathed in sunlight that bestowed a luminous glow, accentuating their magnificence.
Yet, in a matter of mere breaths, Lin Yan discerned a coarse voice resonating from the front, breaking the silence with its rugged timbre.
He looked at the old man and the old man also stared at him. For a moment, he forgot that he had to greet the elders when met.
Hmm? Why is he staring at me like that?
Ooh right, I forgot to greet him. Sigh... How boring.
"Disciple greets the Elder," said Lin Yan as he greeted the old man in a respectful tone.
Sun Jian didn't mind his abnormal behaviour and asked directly why he had come to the Treasure Pavilion, "What's the reason for you to come here? Hmm? And who are you?"
Hearing all the questions that the old man was spouting in such a rough voice, Lin Yan wanted to beat the crap out of him, however, he hold it in, and answered calmly, "This disciple just entered the sect. Sect Master had chosen me as his Personal disciple. As proof, this is my disciple token, " Lin Yan brought out the token from his storage ring and showed it to the old man.
Sun Jian was shocked after observing the sect master token in Lin Yan's hand. He thought deeply and remembered that today was the Outer Sect examination. So, he didn't think too much about the matter as it simply meant that the kid in front of him had a Wood spiritual root, while he could only berate in his mind, 'Hm. Sect Master has an unexpected gain this time,' while staring intensely at Lin Yan, he also had a thought in his mind, 'I bet Sect Master will nurture him as his successor... Lucky bastard.'
Sun Jian gave him one last look before he told him to stay where he was and went to the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion.
Witnessing the old man vanish before his eyes, Lin Yan prepared to sigh in relief, but his breath caught in his throat as a sudden melodious voice reverberated through him, sending tremors to the core of his being.
"Hm... Who might you be?"
Listening to the enchanting voice, Lin Yan abruptly turned his head sideways, locking eyes with the person who also gazed at him with an intense, bright red stare.
H-how? What... No, that doesn't matter, but hell, She is beautiful. Who is she?
Lin Yan looked at the beauty who was right in front of him, gazing at him with a smile on her face.
She adorned a pristine white robe, its length extending enough to veil her jade-like skin, creating an alluring allure that hinted at beauty not entirely concealed.
Her long, ebony hair cascaded freely down her back, elevating her beauty to an unparalleled level. Lin Yan couldn't help but gaze at her ethereal face, a visage so captivating it seemed crafted for nothing but tender kisses.
Her lips, resembling cherries, held an enchanting allure, tempting him to savour their sweetness.
The plumpness of her breasts and buttocks invited his touch, providing ample curvature for his hands to explore and indulge in their softness.
She was as tall as him so their eyes were directly against each other.
With a quick look, he discerned all these features as if he was born with lecherous eyes of heaven.
Not wanting to let her wait any longer, Lin Yan replied to her in a very respectful tone as he showed him his disciple token, "This disciple was selected by the Sect Master to be his personal disciple this morning."
Elder Xia, who originally came to the Treasure Pavilion to take the monthly pills for her personal disciple Su Ling, noticed someone holding the sect master token in his hands and became surprised.
So, she tried to inquire about him. However, after hearing Lin Yan's answer, she could only have a thought in her mind, 'So Wang Tian did give him his token.'
Elder Xia nodded and directly began to walk toward the second floor, not giving him a second look.
Lin Yan found it hard to believe that she would simply ignore him, a notion he couldn't shake off.
What truly surprised him was her complete lack of effort to engage in even a brief conversation, leaving him puzzled and somewhat taken aback.
Nonetheless, just to satisfy his inner temptations he used his inspect skill on her.
[ Name: Xia Yiying ]
[ Age: 65 ]
[ Cultivation: 8th layer of Dantian Forging ]
[ Talent: Top ]
[ Spiritual Root: Water ]
... T-top! It's top-grade talent! Can't let it go...
As if the heaven itself had shattered, Lin Yan was left dumbfounded after he saw the talent of the fairy. He gaped at her back and thought deeply before he decided to do something.
Before Elder Xia could step on the stairs, Lin Yan used the skill that he had refrained from utilizing on just anybody.
Use charm skill on her...
Lin Yan gave instructions to his dead-like system in his mind.
Almost instantly half of his spiritual Qi got used, causing Lin Yan to feel that he had ejaculated multiple times.
He felt empty.
Does Charm use Spiritual Qi?
Lin Yan thought as he caressed his navel through his clothes because it was uncomfortable to feel something that he just felt.
Elder Xia, on the verge of taking her fourth step on the stairs, abruptly turned her head back. Her gaze fixated on the standing Lin Yan, and she inquired with a measured curiosity, "May I know your name?"
Witnessing instant results from his skill, Lin Yan was delighted but he knew that one or two times wouldn't work so he could only use charm skill again while answering her question in a calm tone, "This disciple is called Lin Yan."
Elder Xia heard him, nodded and this time without glancing back continued to ascend the stairs.
Depleted of Spiritual Qi, Lin Yan struggled to maintain his stance, but an unexpected source of motivation emerged—the mesmerizing sway of Elder Xia's ethereal butt cheeks. Despite the fatigue, he found himself captivated by the alluring silhouette hinted at by her loosely draped robe.
Only after her ass disappeared from his sight did he tumble down to the floor, his breathing heavy and lustful.
How pathetic. Just two times and this is the result... Her cultivation was way stronger than mine. I guess it's obvious that the requirement of Spiritual Qi would be high. I need to get stronger fast...
Lin Yan promised himself and began to wait for the old man's arrival.
