After transmigrating into the body of the protagonist's childhood friend, he was targeted by a

Lin Zhixu woke up very early in the morning.

After tidying up briefly, he went out and wandered around the valley.

After walking around for a while, Lin Zhixu had to admit that Yu Linzhou's territory was indeed... cool and refreshing.

It's more than just cool; it's practically deserted.

Lin Zhixu walked along the stone path for a quarter of an hour without encountering a single person.

It was as if Yu Linzhou had the entire mountaintop to himself; apart from the rustling of the wind through the bamboo forest, the only other sounds were the rustling of his own footsteps.

"No way..." He stood in an open space, his lips twitching. "Such a big place, and there isn't even a sweeper?"

He recalled that Yu Linzhou had told him yesterday before leaving that he was his only disciple, and at the time he thought that his cheap master was just being polite.

Now it seems they were telling the absolute truth.

It's true that he only has one apprentice; there isn't a single extra person.

Standing on the empty stone path, Lin Zhixu looked at the endless sea of ​​clouds in the distance, and a very real question came to mind.

So, where to have breakfast?

The peaks and valleys were unusually large, and Lin Zhixu wandered around for a long time but still couldn't find the exit.

He stood at the end of the stone path, looked up at the sky, and remained silent for a moment.

Are you suggesting we let him fly away?

But he can't fly.

Moreover, he was genuinely hungry and had also gotten lost.

This place is so big, and there aren't even any signs. It's so inhumane.

He found a rock to sit on and sighed.

Perhaps the heavens finally heard his call, for a man dressed in blue clothes walked towards them from afar.

Lin Zhixu perked up and was about to speak when he saw the man walk past him without even glancing at him.

Lin Zhixu: "..."

The cultivators here are truly arrogant and disdainful of everyone.

Having no other choice, he had to take the initiative to call out to the other person, "Excuse me, senior brother in front, please wait."

The man was startled and whirled around, shouting, "Who! Who's speaking?"

Lin Zhixu silently stood up: "Hello, senior brother. I am Lin Zhixu, a new disciple. May I ask how you should address me?"

The man was visibly taken aback when he saw him: "Oh, so you're the new junior brother. Hello, my name is Jiang Che."

Only after he finished speaking did he realize what he had said, his expression immediately turning wary. He said sternly, "Something's not right. Whose disciple are you? How did you get here? Don't you know you can't just wander around here?"

Lin Zhixu: "...I am the newly accepted disciple of Immortal Venerable Feng Heng."

Jiang Che's eyes widened as he looked him up and down in disbelief: "You?!"

He took a few steps closer and circled around Lin Zhixu, but he couldn't see what abilities this person had that would make Feng Heng Immortal Venerable accept him as a disciple.

In his opinion, this person was ridiculously weak.

He didn't notice him when he passed by because there was almost no spiritual energy fluctuation on the other person.

Lin Zhixu ignored his scrutiny and asked directly, "I wanted to ask you, senior brother, how do I get out of here? Is there anywhere to eat? Also, I need to buy some daily necessities, but I don't know where I can buy them."

Although Jiang Che was still puzzled as to why Feng Heng Immortal Venerable had taken on such a useless disciple, he was a kind-hearted person after all, and he earnestly explained: "There are barriers between each peak, and you can't get out without a token."

"Besides, you probably can't fly or ride a sword, right? Even if you can leave the peak, you can't walk in the air."

Lin Zhixu nodded. He'd never even touched a sword, let alone flown on one.

"Most disciples of the Tianheng Sect have already practiced fasting, so no one is eating. If you haven't fasted yet, you'll have to find a way to cook for yourself. As for buying things..."

Jiang Che looked into the distance: "We can only go to the city outside the Tianheng Sect; there are markets there. However, some things can't be bought with gold or silver; you'll have to use spirit stones or barter. Junior Brother, you've just arrived; you probably don't have any spirit stones, right?"

Lin Zhixu nodded honestly: "No, I don't. But I just want to buy some food and mortal necessities, so I shouldn't need spirit stones."

It's too much trouble to go out; you need someone to take you.

Jiang Che probably anticipated his predicament and chuckled, "I'm going to deliver something to Immortal Venerable Feng Heng later. If you're not in a hurry, wait for me a moment, and I'll take you down the mountain. I also need to go to the market to buy some things."

Lin Zhixu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and said gratefully, "Then I'll have to trouble Senior Brother Jiang."

Jiang Che waved his hand: "No trouble at all. You're unlucky to have been taken as a disciple by Immortal Venerable Feng Heng. Don't be fooled by Immortal Venerable Feng Heng's ever-smiling and charming appearance. Those of us who know him well know that Immortal Venerable Feng Heng is actually the most aloof person."

"I suppose even Immortal Venerable Feng Heng didn't tell you the rules of the Tianheng Sect?"

Lin Zhixu nodded.

Not only did they not teach him, they only exchanged two words with him before he disappeared.

As they walked and talked, Jiang Che gave Lin Zhixu a general overview of the Tianheng Sect's situation.

The entire Tianheng Sect consists of one main peak, five secondary peaks, and countless branch peaks.

The sect has a sect leader who is in charge, as well as a bunch of peak masters, elders, and managing immortals.

Normally, everyone performs their duties and cultivates in their own territory. They only gather at the main peak to discuss matters when major events occur.

"Among these people, Feng Heng Immortal Venerable is the most special," Jiang Che said as they walked. "His Qiyue Peak is the farthest from the main peak, and he never accepts disciples, not even a supervising immortal. So when I heard that you were accepted as his disciple, I was really surprised."

Lin Zhixu twitched the corner of his mouth: Do you think I want this?

Jiang Che didn't notice his expression and continued, "But I think that since the Immortal Venerable was willing to accept you, you must have some extraordinary qualities."

"...Senior Brother, you flatter me." Lin Zhixu quickly changed the subject. "May I ask which peak you are from? Do you often come to deliver things to Master?"

"I am a disciple of Danfeng," Jiang Che said. "Our Elder Xuanqing has a good relationship with Immortal Venerable Fengheng, and he often sends me to deliver some pills."

Lin Zhixu was listening intently, and before they knew it, the two had arrived outside Yu Linzhou's courtyard.

The courtyard gate was tightly closed, and a barrier was set up outside. The transparent light curtain rippled slightly, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

Jiang Che stopped, cleared his throat, and called out loudly, "Immortal Venerable, I've come to deliver the pills to you. I've left them outside."

As he spoke, he placed a small cloth bag on the stone steps at the door and turned to leave.

Lin Zhixu was taken aback, thinking to himself, "Is that all?"

Just then, a lazy voice came from the courtyard: "Zhizhi's here too. Where are you all going?"

Lin Zhixu's expression froze for a moment.

Zhizhi? Who? Are you calling him?

Jiang Che was startled and quickly bowed in greeting. Lin Zhixu had no choice but to lower his head as well: "Immortal Venerable/Master".

Jiang Che explained, "Junior Brother Lin needed to go down the mountain to buy some things, and I happened to run into him, so I took him along."

There was a moment of silence inside, followed by a soft laugh tinged with realization: "Oh, it's my fault for not interacting with people for so long that I forgot for a moment that Zhizhi is still a mortal."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bag was thrown out of the barrier and landed precisely in Lin Zhixu's arms.

The bag is about the size of a palm; it must be the legendary storage bag.

Yu Linzhou's voice rang out lazily again: "There are some spirit stones, some pills and talismans inside. You can take them and play with them."

Lin Zhixu: "...Thank you, Master."
