In the Chaoyun Sect, due to its uniqueness, outer disciples like Xu Chang’an, who come from the Lower Realm, are relatively rare. Otherwise, the North Garden, provided by Celestial Bright Peak for Lower Realm disciples, wouldn’t be mostly empty.
Even if there are new disciples stepping into cultivation, most of them first join other sects, and then, depending on their aptitude and their sect’s attitude towards Chaoyun Sect, they decide whether to send them to Chaoyun.
So, other Disciple Peaks have a continuous influx of disciples.
Only Muyu Peak is different. After all, the main peak of the Hehuan Sect is now Tripod Heart Peak. Aside from historical ties, Muyu Peak no longer has any relation with the Hehuan Sect. This place has even subtly become a power solely belonging to Chaoyun Sect.
Affection might lean towards Hehuan Sect, but in reality, there are no factions; everything is decided by a group of old women on the mountain. Therefore, not much fresh blood flows into Muyu Peak.
Current outer disciples, including Xu Chang’an, do not exceed fifty, enough to show how "exclusive" this place is.
Muyu Peak is very strict in accepting disciples, strict in every sense.
After all, it’s not easy to be both good-looking and gifted.
It’s rare for someone like Yun Qian, who relies purely on "connections" and "appearance," to pass, but Wen Li still advises Yun Qian to cultivate well.
As a young lady, being independent always brings honor to the husband’s family.
However, it’s evident that for someone like Miss Yun to cultivate diligently... is not that easy.
On the Chaoyun Sect’s public White Jade Platform, Xu Chang’an walked in the area belonging to outer disciples, surrounded by people coming and going, bustling like a marketplace.
As the only male on Muyu Peak, Xu Chang’an has a certain level of fame throughout the Chaoyun Sect.
So, upon his appearance, many people stopped and stared directly at him.
Some young ladies only saw a delicate young man.
The men exchanged glances and emotions.
Has he become more handsome?
Must be nourished by those girls from Muyu Peak.
"Such a handsome face."
His gaze carried hostility, curiosity, and confusion.
But in a place , no one would cause trouble for him, as everyone knows he’s backed by a group of troublesome women.
In the mouths of others, Xu Chang’an earned the nickname of the first pretty boy of Chaoyun without knowing it.
This is quite normal. Living in such a place, coupled with the title of the Hehuan Sect’s "remnants" on Muyu Peak, it was natural for him to be considered a concubine of the senior sisters.
However, Xu Chang’an doesn’t mind the outsiders’ opinions, as long as it doesn’t bring trouble to him. Let others think what they want. His priority has always been that as long as Miss Yun doesn’t mind, it’s fine.
Ignoring various gazes, Xu Chang’an thought this place indeed served the function of a marketplace, with many outer disciples selecting, purchasing, and exchanging needed items.
Walking among the crowd, Xu Chang’an felt out of place.
The reason is simple; though they appear to be outer disciples, in reality, they all have factions and sufficient spirit stones at hand.
Xu Chang’an merely glanced at the price of a casual flying sword at a stall before twitching at the corner of his eye, directly passing through the crowd to reach a public area.
Xu Chang’an arrived in front of a strange portal shimmering with a veil of light, confirmed his identity, and walked into the teleportation gate, then his figure completely disappeared from sight.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dim, blue-glowing, illusory space, seemingly isolated from the outside world.
The surprise for Xu Chang’an lasted a short while. It was his first time entering the internal Dao Discussion Arena space of the White Jade Platform, but he had heard about this magical place from various senior sisters.
It seemed to be a passageway, with footsteps echoing clearly.
After several turns, a dazzling light made his vision a complete white blur, taking him some time to see clearly.
It was a water-colored room full of glass, the surroundings as crystalline as water, even the floor being transparent, with a corridor in the middle and countless small squares beside it.
As far as the eye could see, there were tens of thousands of small rooms, all transparent and crystal-colored, emitting colorful lights.
According to Qinling, these small rooms were individual spaces where disciples were cultivating, dueling, or exploring simulated secret realms.
As Xu Chang’an was still in a daze, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Xu the kid? How did you get here?" The speaker was a woman sitting behind the steward platform, squinting her eyes, appearing weak.
The woman before him wore embroidery from Muyu Peak, indicating she was a senior from Muyu Peak.
Indeed, since Muyu Peak doesn’t belong to any faction, some of its people are quite suitable for working in public areas of Chaoyun Sect, senior whose current job was to "allocate rooms" for disciples entering this space.
"Senior." Xu Chang’an was taken aback, walked over, but before he could speak, the woman interrupted him.
"Who’s your senior, you unclaimed kid? Call me Senior Sister," the woman said, supporting herself up and then yawning.
"Senior Sister." Xu Chang’an sighed helplessly.
This senior had always been , lacking energy in everything she did, which is why she often ended up with tasks like guarding the Scripture Pavilion. It’s peaceful enough, and every time Xu Chang’an met her, she was in this lazy demeanor.
