JSCMU-Chapter 165: He Mountain Summit

Shen Yanye smiled and took the initiative to say, “Since I have nothing to do these days, have Yun Jin come over. I can test her beast-taming aptitude. If she truly has some talent, it wouldn’t be impossible for me to recommend her to the sect.”

Ling Fei’s face visibly lit up with joy, “Then I must thank Brother Shen in advance.”

Shen Yanye replied, “It’s still too early for thanks. We have to see what talent she has. If she can join Beast Taming Sect before the Grand Sect Tournament, then the contract can be easily resolved.”

“Oh?” Ling Fei asked quickly.

Shen Yanye explained, “That kind of contract is certified by the Heavenly Dao. If someone wants to break it, the backlash must be borne by one person. Even with my cultivation, that would be tricky. But if Yun Jin joins Beast Taming Sect, one of the Four Holy Lands, then the sect’s vast fortune and destiny can help suppress the backlash from the Heavenly Dao. By then, even if the contract is broken, the damage left would be something I can handle.”

In this world.

When one first steps onto the cultivation path, they look at talent, comprehension, and opportunity.

But at their level, what mattered was karma, destiny, and the intangible workings of fate.

And in this world, the strongest source of fortune was undoubtedly the Four Holy Lands.

Such contracts, while difficult for ordinary people to break, would not be so troublesome once protected by the sect’s fortune.

So it could be done like this?!

Ling Fei’s face immediately lit up with joy. He bowed seriously to Shen Yanye, “Regardless of whether Yun Jin has beast-taming aptitude or not, the fact that Brother Shen is willing to help is already a tremendous favor. I thank you sincerely.”

Shen Yanye just smiled indifferently, “With our relationship, there’s no need to say such things.”

His gaze fell on Gun Gun, his expression intrigued.

Gun Gun immediately became alert, “What, not convinced? If you’ve got the guts, fight this master again!”

“How interesting.” Shen Yanye chuckled, “Ling Fei, where is this Yun Jin? Let’s go meet her.”

This Iron-Eating Beast truly had some interesting traits.

But that alone couldn’t prove Yun Jin had beast-taming talent.

Shen Yanye merely wanted to settle this matter early and bring closure to his karma with Ling Fei.

“I’ll send her a message,” Ling Fei was about to activate a communication talisman.

But Shen Yanye raised an eyebrow and changed his mind, “Gun Gun, right? You should know where your master is. Why don’t you take us to her directly?”

Shen Yanye didn’t want to wait around. It’s better to meet Yun Jin right away.

Gun Gun’s face filled with suspicion, “What do you want with my master?”

Shen Yanye smiled and casually raised a hand.

Immediately, a terrifying and unmatched force descended, pinning Gun Gun on the spot so that it couldn’t move at all.

Fear flickered in Gun Gun’s eyes.

Who is this man?!

Isn’t he a bit too powerful?!

“If I wanted to harm your master, do you think she’d have any way to resist?” Shen Yanye teased.

Ling Fei quickly said, “Gun Gun, lead the way. Brother Shen is here to help your master.”

Gun Gun still trusted Ling Fei quite a lot. Once Ling Fei spoke, its eyeballs couldn’t help but start turning.

Only then did Shen Yanye release the restriction he placed on it, “Lead the way.”

Realizing that the man in front of it was a super powerhouse, Gun Gun immediately became well-behaved. It sensed Yun Jin’s direction and began to obediently lead the way.

Shen Yanye and Ling Fei calmly followed behind.

Gun Gun could be seen crossing directly through the entire Tianxing Sect, even heading beyond its borders.

Ling Fei couldn’t help but be a little surprised. Where exactly did Yun Jin run off to?

Sure enough, Gun Gun eventually stopped at the base of He Mountain. Ling Fei vaguely thought of something.

As expected, Gun Gun continued charging inward.

A few guarding disciples quickly tried to stop it.

When they saw it was Ling Fei, they respectfully bowed, “Senior Ling, do you have a pass token?”

Ling Fei raised his eyebrows, “Did Yun girl have a pass token?”

The disciples immediately showed a rather awkward expression.

Ling Fei smiled, “Don’t worry, I’m not here to make things difficult for you. I’m just going to find that Yun girl. Once I find her, I’ll come right back.”

Only then did the disciples breathe a sigh of relief. They didn’t dare say much more and quickly stepped aside.

Once Ling Fei and Gun Gun were up the mountain.

One of the disciples suddenly said, “Speaking of which, just now next to Senior Ling… was there a man in black?”

He vaguely saw someone, but in the blink of an eye, the person disappeared.

“Man in black? Where? You must’ve been seeing things.”

The disciple scratched his head, “Probably.”

While Ling Fei and Gun Gun were still climbing the mountain, Shen Yanye had already arrived at the summit.

At the summit.

Yun Jin was bonding with Ye Danxia.

Whenever she felt like her Emotion Points were increasing too slowly, she would come to Ye Danxia for some deep conversation.

Admittedly, the effect was quite good.

With two or three more days, her number of visits would be complete.

Yun Jin grilled some meat for herself, poured some tea, and then comfortably sat down to start chatting.

“Danxia, why are you still cultivating? Cultivation needs to be a balance between work and rest! You work this hard, and yet you’re still stuck in Qi Refining Stage? That can’t be right. With your Celestial Spiritual Root, your cultivation speed shouldn’t be this slow.” Yun Jin looked worried. “Don’t tell me… your Celestial Spiritual Root is fake?”

Ye Danxia gritted her teeth and refused to respond.

Now, she figured it out.

As long as she replied, Yun Jin would get even worse. The best way was to ignore her.

Yun Jin wasn’t in a hurry. She continued, “This isn’t just me who might think so. Look at the sect leader, he used to treat you like a precious gem. And now? He locked you up here and doesn’t care about you. I think, maybe he also thinks your Celestial Spiritual Root is fake.”

Ye Danxia really didn’t want to engage, but she couldn’t take it anymore and couldn’t help saying angrily, “You’re talking nonsense! How could a Celestial Spiritual Root be fake? The master treating me like this was all because of you!”

Yun Jin responded earnestly, “Danxia, you can’t say that. I’m just a small disciple, how could I pressure the sect master? Sure, I may have had a tiny bit of influence, but if he truly wanted to protect you, what could I have done? Look at Ruan Jun, he tried to kill me in front of so many people. Was he locked up on He Mountain? No. He just found some place to go into seclusion. When he comes out, he’ll still be the sect leader’s eldest disciple. Your treatment is worlds apart from his.”

“You’re lying!” Ye Danxia gritted her teeth.

Some people may not seem to believe it on the surface, but in reality, she had just given a triple burst of 500 Emotion Points.

Yun Jin smiled slightly, looking sincere, “I’m actually just standing up for you. A dignified Celestial Spiritual Root being treated like this…is really such a waste.”

She looked very regretful.

Ye Danxia couldn’t help but bite her lower lip hard.

At this moment.

She even forgot that her current fate was entirely orchestrated by Yun Jin. She also forgot that Ruan Jun only escaped because Yun Jin proposed a three-month contract.

At this moment, her heart was filled with grievance!

That’s right!

Why was it that senior brother was fine, but she had to be locked up in this godforsaken place?

How unfair was Master?!

She felt aggrieved, but Ye Danxia tried not to show it.

Yun Jin didn’t mind. She continued to egg her on, “If I were you, I wouldn’t even acknowledge this master anymore. With a Celestial Spiritual Root like yours, where couldn’t you go? The Four Holy Lands would probably fight to take you. What is a mere Tianxing Sect? What is Zhao Wuji?”

Yun Jin was still speaking.

When suddenly.

The system issued a warning alert.

“Host, someone has entered the He Mountain range.”
