The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

After Su Wuwang washed himself clean, he asked the maid to clean the bed.

Shen Yifei was already waiting for her in the main hall. As she walked, she sensed the changes in her body. She never expected that a single instance of dual cultivation would bring so many benefits; this man truly possessed great fortune.

Shen Yifei had been waiting for a long time, thinking to himself, "Women taking baths is such a hassle."

When Shen Yifei saw Su Wuwang walking slowly towards him, his eyes widened in disbelief. The current Su Wuwang was completely different from the one before his breakthrough; his entire demeanor had changed.

"You've been looking for ages, aren't you done yet?" Su Wuwang glared at him.

"Hehe, all that time I was looking at little black people, now they're not only white, they're also much better looking."

"Stop joking and get down to business. How exactly are the two sects merging?"

"Simple, the Hehuan Sect will move to the Qingyun Sect, the two sects will merge, and in the future, it will be renamed the Tianyan Sect."

"Why is it called the Heavenly Evolution Sect?"

"My family used to belong to this sect."

Su Wuwang stared at him for a few moments. "Your family? Your father isn't Shen Changtian, is he?"

"yes!"

Su Wuwang didn't press further. "Fine, change the name then. But the Tianyan Sect was wiped out back then, and you're rebuilding it. Aren't you afraid of attracting trouble?"

"What's there to be afraid of? I won't let any of those three families that destroyed the Heavenly Evolution Sect back then—the Golden Crow Sect, the Myriad Swords Manor, and the Profound Ice Palace—go."

Su Wuwang glanced at him and said, "You're only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Any one of the elders from those three families is stronger than you."

"That's why we need to merge sects to increase our strength, and in the future we must surpass the Golden Crow Sect."

"I didn't realize you had so many ambitions. So that's what you were planning after sleeping with me!"

"Injustice! Injustice! Sect Master, who dragged me onto your bed? It wasn't me who did it willingly, was it?"

Su Wuwang kicked him in the shin.

Shen Yifei rubbed his leg. "Sect Master, you're now in the late Nascent Soul stage. Can't you show some demeanor of a master?"

The two chatted and joked, and soon they had discussed and agreed on some of the details of the merger.

As they parted, Su Wuwang gripped Shen Yifei's hand tightly, "Now the future of me and the Hehuan Sect is in your hands..."

"Don't worry, I'm your man!"

Shen Yifei patted Su Wuwang's hand, then turned and left.

Su Wuwang stood at the entrance of the main hall, watching his back, and suddenly felt that the boy's walking posture was different from before.

Before, I would just stroll around; now, I walk sideways.

"A petty person who has gained power," Su Wuwang cursed, then went back to his bedchamber to sleep.

Shen Yifei left the Hehuan Sect's mountain gate, and Liu Mengli floated out of the cauldron and rode on his neck.

"You're really something, you slept with Su Wuwang and then took over the Hehuan Sect."

"What do you mean by 'sleep'? I practiced dual cultivation with her; that was cultivation. Have you ever seen me close my eyes and sleep?"

"Alright, if Master says it's cultivation, then it's cultivation. But I think Su Wuwang's breasts are really big, from now on I'll follow her standards!"

After Liu Mengli finished speaking, she began to adjust her posture.

Her chest would swell up and deflate like an inflating balloon.

"Take it easy, don't overeat."

"It won't explode, I know what I'm doing." Liu Mengli looked down and said, "It's almost there, just a little bigger."

Shen Yifei ignored her and sped up his flight towards the Tianji Pavilion.

Tianji Pavilion is located on Cangwu Mountain.

Shen Yifei had never been here before, but he had heard a lot about it recently. Cangwu Mountain was originally the territory of the Tianyan Sect. After the sect was wiped out, the Tianji Pavilion suddenly appeared and occupied the place, sealing it off for more than ten years. No one knew what was going on inside.

When Shen Yifei saw Cangwu Mountain in the distance, he was stunned for a moment.

The entire mountain was shrouded in a layer of white mist, from top to bottom, inside and out, it was all fog. When divine sense probed into it, there was a restriction within the mist, blocking the divine sense from seeing anything.

"Something's not right about this fog," Liu Mengli said in his mind.

"I know."

Shen Yifei landed at the foot of the mountain, where a stone staircase led to the summit. The staircase was covered in moss and looked like it hadn't been used in a long time.

A stone tablet stands beside the stone steps, with four characters engraved on it: "Unauthorized trespassers shall die!"

The characters were carved with a sword, the strokes sharp and carrying a murderous aura.

Shen Yifei glanced at the stone tablet, then stepped onto the stone steps.

Just as I stepped onto the first step, a voice came from the white mist.

"One more step, and you die."

The sound was not loud, but it was very clear, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.

Shen Yifei withdrew his foot and stood at the bottom of the stone steps.

"I am Shen Yifei, the sect master of Qingyun Sect. I request an audience with the head of Tianji Pavilion."

There was no response from within the fog.

Shen Yifei waited a while and then repeated himself.

There was still no response from within the fog.

"Master, they're ignoring you," Liu Mengli said from inside the cauldron.

"Ignore me and force your way in."

"Don't be impulsive. I sensed the restrictions in this fog, and they were set up by someone at least at the Tribulation Transcending stage. For someone like you, at the early Nascent Soul stage, to force your way in is no different from suicide."

Shen Yifei thought for a moment, then took out a bottle of top-grade pills from his storage ring and placed it next to the stone tablet.

"This is a gift for our meeting. It's a top-grade elixir specially made by the Qingyun Sect. I'm just offering it to the Pavilion Master for a taste."

After placing the pills, he retreated to the bottom of the stone steps and sat down cross-legged.

Liu Mengli asked from inside the cauldron, "What are you doing sitting here?"

"Waiting for someone."

"Waiting for whom?"

"Wait for the person who spoke to come out and see me."

Liu Mengli was speechless. "They said they'd die if they took one more step up, and you're still waiting for them to come out? Have you lost your mind?"

Shen Yifei ignored her, took out a flask of wine from his storage ring, poured himself a cup, and slowly drank it.

The fog was so still that it took the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to calm down.

Shen Yifei drank three glasses of wine and then poured a fourth. Just as the wine was poured, a hand reached out from the steam.

The hand was white and slender, with black nail polish; it was clearly a woman's hand. She grabbed the medicine bottle and then withdrew it.

Shen Yifei noticed the hand and was secretly delighted. Tianji Pavilion, woman, hehe, this makes things much easier.

Liu Mengli said inside the cauldron, "Your hands are quite beautiful."

"Did you see clearly?"

"Look closely, it's a woman, with fair skin, long fingers, and patterns on her nails. She doesn't look human."

"Not human? Is it a demon?"

"It doesn't seem like it; the demonic aura just doesn't feel right."

Shen Yifei didn't speak and continued drinking. There was a moment of silence in the mist, then the voice rang out again.

"The sect leader wants you to come up."

The white mist on the stone steps parted slightly, just enough for one person to walk through.

Shen Yifei stood up and started walking up the stone steps. The mist on Cangwu Mountain seemed to suppress his cultivation; Shen Yifei couldn't fly even if he wanted to.

The stone steps were covered in moss and very slippery; he almost slipped and fell. Liu Mengli laughed out loud inside the cauldron, and Shen Yifei cursed under his breath before regaining his balance and continuing upwards.

After walking for a long time, the white mist dissipated. Shen Yifei found himself standing on the mountaintop, with a stone gate in front of him.

The characters on the stone gate are blurred and indistinct, but the outlines of the two characters "Tianyan" can still be vaguely seen.

The ruins of the Tianyan Sect, the sect of his father Shen Changtian, were also the place where his entire family was wiped out.

Behind the stone gate was a huge square, and directly opposite was a grand hall with the three characters "Tianji Pavilion" on the plaque. The characters were newly carved, with sharp strokes, and were the same handwriting as the characters on the stone tablet at the foot of the mountain.

Flanking the main hall are side halls, and beyond that are numerous courtyards and cave dwellings, built layer upon layer up the hillside, several times larger than the Qingyun Sect. The area below the mountainside is shrouded in white mist, only the mountaintop remains clear.

Shen Yifei was looking around when a person walked out of the side hall.

A beautiful woman, dressed in a black dress, with her hair loose, walked barefoot on the stone slabs, making no sound as she went.

"Are the pills yours?"

"Yes."

"The Pavilion Master invites you in."
