Chapter 146: Six Elders

Wu Chen Peak is the mountain where Six Elder Feng Ya resides.

Wu Chen Peak is somewhat similar to the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace; it only accepts female disciples. It is bustling with beautiful women, like a gathering of orioles and swallows, but the most beautiful among them is undoubtedly Six Elder.

Legend has it that Six Elder and the Palace Master of the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace are close friends.

Lu Yang had heard his senior brothers talk about Six Elder many times. They all said not to lose composure upon seeing her, as she was a woman so beautiful it was breathtaking.

"Lu Yang? What are you doing here?" Below Wu Chen Peak, Lu Yang encountered Tao Yao Ye.

Tao Yao Ye was tall, youthful, and stunningly beautiful, standing out significantly in a crowd.

Lu Yang took out an ancient book. "Senior Sister told me to give this book to Six Elder."

"My master is out on business and will probably be back in about half an hour. Would you like to come in and wait?" Tao Yao Ye invited.

Lu Yang showed a conflicted expression, both eager and hesitant. "Wouldn't that be inappropriate? I'm a man..."

"It's fine, it's fine. Anyway, we're the two with the lowest cultivation levels on Wu Chen Peak, so nothing can go wrong."

Lu Yang silently watched Tao Yao Ye. Her eyes were clear, as if she was completely unaware of how much psychological damage her words had caused him.

Lu Yang sighed and followed Tao Yao Ye forward. Tao Yao Ye turned her head slightly, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

"Oh, right, I still owe you five contribution points. Here you go." When Lu Yang bought the Ten Ox Strength Pill, he was short five points and borrowed them from Tao Yao Ye.

The Ten Ox Strength Pill had been quite effective and helped Lu Yang significantly.

"You still remembered? I'd completely forgotten," Tao Yao Ye chuckled.

"Speaking of which, does this Immortal also have a lot of contribution points?" Immortal Fairy remembered that she was now an honorary guest elder of the Ask Dao Sect and had even killed an Integration Stage cultivator, for which Yun Zhi had rewarded her many contribution points.

"Lu Yang, Lu Yang, I want to redeem! I want to redeem!"

Immortal Fairy was being noisy, so Lu Yang couldn't help but say, "Once we leave Wu Chen Peak, I'll take you to see the contribution exchange list. You can buy whatever you want."

"That's more like it," Immortal Fairy nodded with satisfaction, thinking Lu Yang was a promising individual.

"Be careful over there. Absolutely do not go near that area," Tao Yao Ye warned Lu Yang, pointing to a pond.

The pond was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see inside, but pleasant, bell-like laughter could be heard.

"The senior sisters like to bathe there. A few years ago, a senior brother, relying on his excellent escape technique, snuck into Wu Chen Peak to peek at them. Then, we heard his screams."

"Where is that senior brother now?"

"That senior brother's escape technique was so excellent, he completely vanished from the human world."

Goodness, Wu Chen Peak is really dangerous.

Lu Yang was glad he was a gentleman.

Tao Yao Ye led Lu Yang to her usual practice spot. "Care for a spar?"

"Alright," Lu Yang readily agreed, taking out his Azure Edge Sword. Only then did Immortal Fairy remember that Lu Yang had a Sword Spiritual Root, which theoretically meant he used a sword.

Since her revival, she hadn't yet seen Lu Yang use a sword.

"Senior Brother Lu, be careful. I've learned something new these past two months." Tao Yao Ye opened her red paper umbrella.

With a flick of her wrist and a slight relaxation of her palm, the red paper umbrella spun, sending peach blossoms fluttering like rain or snow, obscuring Lu Yang's vision.

A sword light swept through the air with a whistling sound, intending to clear away the peach blossoms.

Behind Lu Yang, the peach blossoms gradually formed a human figure. Tao Yao Ye closed her paper umbrella and swung it horizontally downwards.

Lu Yang seemed to have anticipated Tao Yao Ye's move. He held his sword behind his back with one hand, blocking the strike.

The red paper umbrella's material was unknown, but it was able to clash directly with the Azure Edge Sword without the slightest damage.

A sword light suddenly appeared. Tao Yao Ye hadn't expected Lu Yang's sword moves to be so swift.

"Point Skill!" Lu Yang's gaze sharpened. Without mercy, he thrust his sword towards Tao Yao Ye's chest.

Tao Yao Ye chuckled lightly, stepping backward. The tip of her umbrella clashed with the sword tip, attempting to disrupt Lu Yang's swordplay. However, Lu Yang's hand was steady, without the slightest tremor, and he relentlessly pursued, thrusting at Tao Yao Ye.

Amidst the peach blossom rain, the Azure Edge Sword clashed with the red paper umbrella. Both figures moved with agility, flickering past each other, becoming almost invisible.

They each had their moments of advantage, but neither could find the right opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

Suddenly, Lu Yang's eyes lit up as he found a flaw in Tao Yao Ye's defense. His Azure Edge Sword glided like a swimming fish through the peach blossom rain and rested against Tao Yao Ye's neck.

"I surrender," Tao Yao Ye conceded, raising her hands helplessly.

Lu Yang's move changed again, striking at an empty space. The *real* Tao Yao Ye watched the gleaming sword tip aimed at her glabella, utterly astonished.

This time, Tao Yao Ye truly surrendered. The peach blossom rain vanished, and the Tao Yao Ye who had initially surrendered disappeared, revealing it had all been an illusion.

"How did you see where the real me was?" Tao Yao Ye didn't mind losing a match; she was adept at learning from post-battle experience.

"The cultivation technique I practice is the Clear Mind and See Nature Art. It can see through illusions, so it's your bane."

"Clear Mind and See Nature Art? I've never heard of it."

"I wrote it myself," Lu Yang said proudly. Writing one's own cultivation technique was no simple feat.

Tao Yao Ye was about to say something else when she looked up and saw a scarlet mist fly overhead.

"Master is back."

Tao Yao Ye led Lu Yang to Six Elder's cave dwelling. Indeed, just as his senior brothers had described, Six Elder was exquisitely beautiful. Unlike Senior Sister's icy beauty, Six Elder had a gentle smile, like a compassionate elder sister, exuding a very warm feeling.

*Gasp—gasp—gasp—*

Lu Yang suddenly felt a constriction in his breathing, as if all the oxygen around him had vanished. He desperately tried to inhale, to squeeze some air from the surroundings, but it was futile.

"Yao Ye, didn't you tell him about me?"

Tao Yao Ye slapped her forehead. "I forgot!"

Tao Yao Ye quickly pulled Lu Yang to a greater distance from Six Elder. Lu Yang gasped for air like a fish thrown back into the ocean from the shore.

"Gasp—gasp—What's going on?"

Tao Yao Ye chuckled apologetically. "My apologies, I forgot to tell you. My master has an Immaculate Immortal Physique. She doesn't accumulate dust and automatically expels the surrounding air. She can't control it herself, so anyone close to her will feel suffocated. Just hold your breath, and you'll be fine."

Lu Yang: "..."

No wonder everyone said Six Elder was a woman so beautiful it was breathtaking.

*Is the Ask Dao Sect really that honest, speaking only the plain truth without even using adjectives?*

Lu Yang held his breath and approached Six Elder again.

For a Foundation Establishment cultivator, temporarily holding one's breath was not a problem with preparation. By the Golden Core stage, internal circulation would allow one to go without breathing altogether.

"Lu Yang greets Six Elder," Lu Yang said, bowing respectfully. "My master spoke of you, saying he always regarded you as a dear elder sister."

On the flying carriage, Daoist Silence had recounted his relationship with Six Elder in such a touching way that both Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were moved.

Six Elder scoffed, "Is that so? I've always considered him my grandson."

Lu Yang was speechless. He began to consider whether he should only use his Senior Sister's name when introducing himself in the future, deeming his master's embarrassing and grudge-invoking name best avoided.
