Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Innate Spiritual Body
Lu Yi turned his head towards the direction of the voice and saw a young girl standing at the intersection of the Peak Entrance Examination Hall.
With black hair tied into long twin ponytails, large eyes, a cherry-like small mouth, a high nose bridge, and a hint of baby fat on her cheeks, she was an exceptionally beautiful and sweet-looking girl.
What caught the most attention were her eyes, not the common black, but a strange light purple.
She wore a light purple dress, cute with a touch of mystery.
Lu Yi couldn’t help feeling surprised: This girl is really beautiful, she’s the second person with peak beauty I’ve met, the first being Senior Sister Liu Ningshuang.
While Lu Yi was still marveling internally, several elders turned their heads to look at the girl.
A white-haired elder let out a dry laugh, “Ha ha, ha ha ha, so it’s Ming Yue, huh? Did the Peak Master send you? Are you looking for Lu Yi?”
Eyes full of hope, the elders all looked at the girl, wishing they had misheard the previous conversation.
The girl smiled, shallow dimples appearing on her cheeks, and nodded gently, “Yes, Elder Bai Liu, I’m here by order of the Peak Master.”
The elders: “…”
Their expressions all immediately stiffened.
Lu Yi looked at the elders, noticing their complex expressions, as if someone had stolen their most treasured possessions.
Lu Yi felt a bit odd, could it be that the Peak Master wanted to take him as a disciple?
How marvelous!
After all, the Peak Master of Ling Luo Peak is known as the most dazzling talent in the history of the White Cloud Sect!
Becoming the disciple of such a big shot was definitely a good thing.
As Lu Yi was somewhat looking forward to it, the glamorous Nascent Soul Elder forced a smile and said, “Since the Peak Master wishes to see Lu Yi, then our matters can be set aside for now.”
Dong Wanglian also let out a dry laugh, putting away the jade flute in his hand: “The matter of the Peak Master is of utmost importance.”
“It is, certainly.”
“In that case, Lu Yi, you should go ahead.”
One by one, the elders forced a smile and stepped aside, Lu Yi seeing their stiff expressions as if they were about to cry, felt a twinge of sympathy.
It seemed that the biggest boss of Ling Luo Peak was still the Ling Luo Peak Master, and even the Nascent Soul Elders didn’t seem to have an easy time.
He smiled and said, “Thank you for your kind affection, honored elders. Since the Peak Master has commanded, I will follow this Senior Sister.”
Seeing Lu Yi’s polite behavior, the elders’ expressions softened a bit.
“Go on then!”
“Kid, my earlier offer still stands, even if you don’t take me as your master, you’re still welcome to consult me regarding the Sword Dao.”
“Ha ha ha, though I cannot pass on my unique Cultivation Technique to you, should you have any problems with cultivation, you’re still welcome to seek me out, Lu Yi!”
One by one, the elders spoke with a smile, and Lu Yi thanked them repeatedly, thinking to himself how nice people of Ling Luo Peak were; he liked such a place.
Lu Yi approached the girl with the twin ponytails, who then said, “Junior Brother Lu Yi, let us go.”
Lu Yi replied with a smile, “Thank you for leading the way, Senior Sister.”
“It’s the Peak Master’s command, no trouble at all,” the twin ponytail girl said and turned to head back down the stone steps along the intersection.
Watching Lu Yi and the girl with the twin ponytails leave, the group of elders all felt a pang of heartache.
The beautiful Elder let out a wistful sigh, “Alas… why doesn’t the Peak Master leave us even one genius.”
“Exactly, and we already have Liu Ningshuang and Donggong Ming Yue, both with Innate Spiritual Bodies…” Dong Wanglian also had a look of resentment, the very picture of someone wronged.
“Alright, enough talk. It’s a good thing that the Peak Master values Lu Yi. Honestly, with Lu Yi’s comprehension, there isn’t much we can teach him. Following the Peak Master, his achievements will certainly be higher,” an elderly Elder said, shaking his head.
The many Elders fell silent, then spoke no more.
They knew that what the Elder was saying was the truth.
“Let’s go, let’s go back.”
Dispirited, the many Elders transformed into beams of light and disappeared from view.
Seeing the Elders leave and no more spectacle to watch, the crowd of disciples also didn’t stay long.
“Back to cultivation!”
“Damn it, Ling Luo Peak has another monster, this godforsaken place is too tough! To think I’m considered a genius too…”
“What’s the use of complaining?! Isn’t everyone here a genius?”
“Right, let’s hurry back to diligent cultivation; at the very least, let’s not be overtaken by Junior Brother Lu Yi, that monster, any time soon.”
“From now on, I’ll cancel an hour of leisure time and use it to run my Cultivation Technique!”
“Damn! Are you even human?! If that’s the case, I must also spend more time understanding the Arts.”
“…so you want to play it this way?! Then I have no choice but to immerse myself in cultivation.”
One after another, the disciples left, cursing under their breath and secretly planning to cultivate even more feverishly.
On the mountain path, Lu Yi followed behind a pony-tailed Senior Sister, slowly making his way upward.
Along the way, the pony-tailed Senior Sister looked back at Lu Yi, smiled, and said, “My name is Donggong Ming Yue, and you’re Lu Yi, right? So many Elders want to take you as a disciple; it seems your talent is quite impressive?”
“So it’s Senior Sister Donggong,” Lu Yi said modestly, “Junior Brother’s talent is probably okay? It’s mainly due to the Elders’ favor. Senior Sister’s talent must be extremely high, right?”
Upon hearing this, Donggong Ming Yue’s lips curled up, her small face glowing with pride as she tilted her head slightly and said, “Of course! I am an Innate Thunder Spirit Body! Just like Senior Sister Ningshuang, we both have Innate Spiritual Bodies and are destined to become unparalleled powerhouses!”
“Innate Thunder Spirit Body?!” Lu Yi’s eyes widened in surprise as he looked at Donggong Ming Yue.
He was genuinely astonished.
In this world, not all beings are born equal.
Some have the talent for cultivation, while others are born to remain mortals.
Even among those with the talent for cultivation, not all talents are equal.
Those considered most talented are, of course, the cultivators with special physiques and innate gifts; they are the real prodigies.
In the entire Cultivation World, the Innate Spiritual Body is an exceptionally powerful and renowned special constitution!
Such individuals are guaranteed to reach the Cave Void Realm as long as they encounter no mishaps; with great opportunities, even achieving Unification, Mahayana, or even Tribulation Crossing to Immortal is not impossible!
There had been rumors about Liu Ningshuang possessing an Innate Ice Spirit Body, but they were unconfirmed; he had not expected this little Senior Sister to also be an Innate Spiritual Body!
These are the real geniuses.
Lu Yi admitted he was a bit envious; his talent was rather ordinary.
Lu Yi said enviously, “I didn’t expect Senior Sister Donggong’s talent to be so good. Is Senior Sister also a disciple of the Ling Luo Peak Master?”
Lu Yi was somewhat puzzled; when the Ling Luo Peak Master took disciples, it was a big deal. When the Ling Luo Peak Master accepted Liu Ningshuang as a disciple, it was known to everyone in the White Cloud Sect, but how had he not heard that the Ling Luo Peak Master took a second disciple?
Hearing this, Donggong Ming Yue’s smile stiffened, and she said with frustration, “How could it be that easy? The Peak Master has special requirements for accepting disciples, and I haven’t met them yet.”
