87: Chapter 87 The Benefits of the Universe Stone Forest (Seeking Recommendations!) 87: Chapter 87 The Benefits of the Universe Stone Forest (Seeking Recommendations!) “This is a maid arranged by the Qiyun Sect for each Inner Sect Disciple to serve their daily needs.

Every Inner Sect Disciple gets one, are you satisfied with the one I’ve arranged for you?” Hee Miao asked with a hint of eagerness to please.

At the end, Hee Miao added, “This is a newly assigned maid.

The one who previously served Yuen Chengzu has already been taken away by the Yuen Family.”

“Uh…

Okay then!”

More than okay, Xiangcao had a charming figure and was very pretty.

Dressed in simple clothes, she blushed before even speaking, the very image of a modest and beautiful girl who would be coveted anywhere.

“Wow, a maid!

Old Ye, I’ve got a maid in my courtyard, and she’s just eighteen, do you have one…?” Golden Yuanbao came running over breathlessly, his voice arriving before he did.

As he spoke, Golden Yuanbao charged forward, arriving in haste and without any hesitation peered into the courtyard, instantly exclaiming in surprise,

“Damn, life is so unfair!

I thought the one in my courtyard that’s eighteen was just passable, but yours, she’s like a lovely gem, absolutely supreme!” After saying that, Golden Yuanbao began to wail.

“Thanks a lot, Steward Hee!”

Ye Zhen clearly understood that this was also the benefit of having a good reputation.

If it wasn’t for his astonishing performance in the sect contest a few days ago, it wouldn’t be his turn to receive such eager flattery from Steward Hee.

After Hee Miao left with a jovial farewell, Ye Zhen and Golden Yuanbao reentered courtyard number ninety-seven.

Golden Yuanbao, that fatso, started to wager right next to Ye Zhen.

“Old Ye, with such a beauty around, I bet you can’t last three days without taking Xiangcao for yourself.”

Xiangcao, who was nearby, immediately blushed deep red upon hearing this.

This wasn’t Golden Yuanbao talking nonsense; these assigned maids were essentially benefits from the Sect for Inner Sect Disciples, and many would take them as concubines.

“Go away, do you think everyone is as debauched as you?

Old Jin, you’re not planning on dealing with that maid of yours tonight, are you?”

While Ye Zhen said this, his heart was indeed a bit restless.

At the age of seventeen, a cultivator’s Blood Qi was especially exuberant, and some things were truly hard to suppress.

Golden Yuanbao gave Ye Zhen a thumbs-up, “Old Ye, you truly understand me!”

“Pff, you mean you…”

Dong!

A bell tone suddenly rang out long and loud, instantly resounding throughout the entire Qiyun Sect.

The next moment, Sect Leader Guo Qijing’s voice echoed in the sky.

“Inner Sect Disciple Ye Zhen, during a sparring among disciples, acted recklessly and grievously erred by harming a fellow disciple.

Considering his great contribution to the Sect, Ye Zhen is hereby sentenced to face the wall in solitude for six months as a lesson for all disciples…”

Ye Zhen’s expression instantly froze, and his mood turned sour.

They were actually punishing him by sentencing him to face the wall for six months.

Could it be that the Sect really couldn’t discern right from wrong?

“Old Ye, aren’t you just too lucky?” exclaimed Golden Yuanbao.

“Lucky, where does that come from?”

“How is that not lucky?

If it were Old Jin who had killed an Inner Sect Disciple in public, I would have definitely had my cultivation crippled by now and been kicked out of the Sect.

Being sentenced to face the wall for six months is just making you focus on rigorous cultivation, how can that be considered a punishment?” Golden Yuanbao tried to console Ye Zhen.

“That’s one way to look at it…” Ye Zhen gave a bitter smile, aware that Golden Yuanbao did not know the whole story.

Seeing that Ye Zhen was still downcast, Golden Yuanbao punched him on the shoulder and said, “Old Ye, look on the bright side.

Besides, with a beauty right here,” Golden Yuanbao winked at Xiangcao, “tonight, take Xiangcao to bed, and that feeling, definitely can…”

He stopped midway, as Golden Yuanbao suddenly felt a chill, a cold Killing Qi rushing straight to his forehead, instinctively biting his tongue and swallowing the words he was about to blurt out.

Looking up, Golden Yuanbao was startled.

Good heavens, when had Liao Fei, the Outer Disciple Instructor, arrived above the courtyard, watching him with cold eyes brimming with Killing Qi.

“Go on, why aren’t you talking?”

A cold snort from Liao Fei was enough to scare Golden Yuanbao to the point he felt like wetting his pants.

After quickly apologizing, he fled with his jelly-like legs, sprinting away.

“What’s the matter, are you angry over the Sect Leader’s punishment, feeling wronged?” Liao Fei asked.

Ye Zhen remained silent, which was tantamount to agreeing.

“Huh, you really are angry.

It seems like my visit is indeed timely,” Liao Fei mused.

“Ye Zhen, do you know where the Sect Leader has designated you to face the wall?” she asked.

“Where else could it be?

The Death Peak Cave, of course!” Ye Zhen replied irritably.

Liao Fei descended from the sky, and a fragrant scent suddenly invaded Ye Zhen’s nostrils, “Do you know about the Universe Stone Forest?

Ye Zhen, you’ve hit the jackpot today, do you realize that?”

“Hit the jackpot?” Ye Zhen was somewhat confused; this was the second time today someone had said this to him.

“That place, the Universe Stone Forest, even I as a…” Liao Fei suddenly stopped as she was about to mention her own status, “Even I only get to go there once every six years at the quickest.

The last time I entered the Universe Stone Forest was four and a half years ago.”

Ye Zhen’s eyes widened in shock.

“You’re kidding, it’s that good?

What exactly is the Universe Stone Forest?”

“The Sect Leader has everything arranged already, I’ll take you there now, we can talk more on the way,” said Liao Fei as she grabbed Ye Zhen, preparing to soar into the sky.

As they were about to take off, Liao Fei glanced at Xiangcao who stood prettily to the side and casually remarked, “You’ll be gone for half a year with this trip; how about I take care of sending off this young lady for you?”

“Send her away?”

Ye Zhen nodded reluctantly in the face of Liao Feibai’s undeniable gaze.

The beauty that had just come into his hands hadn’t even warmed up before flying away.

Of course, the main reason was that his half-year absence had been too long, and it was better to send her away.

Liao Feibai casually shot out a talisman light, and before long, it landed in the hands of Steward Hee Miao from Chaotic Cloud Peak.

After reading the talisman letter, Hee Miao’s gaze suddenly turned dull.

“To think such a thing could happen…”

In the sky, after Liao Feibai’s explanation, Ye Zhen fully understood the situation with Universe Stone Forest.

His mouth hung open, unable to close due to the immense surprise.

This wasn’t a punishment but a reward, a huge reward!

It is said that when Qiyun Sect’s founding patriarch left, he left behind a Mountain Suppressing Spiritual Artifact.

Upon leaving, he directly embedded it within a mountain inside Qiyun Sect, its wonders limitless.

However, since the patriarch’s departure, no one had been able to use this Mountain Suppressing Spiritual Artifact.

Only a secret realm known as Universe Stone Forest was something the people of Qiyun Sect could take advantage of.

Within Qiyun Sect, the Universe Stone Forest Secret Realm had always been forbidden for anyone other than True Disciples and Sect Elders, as only they were eligible to enter.

It is said that hundreds of years ago, the high ranks of Qiyun Sect made a huge fuss over the order of entry into Universe Stone Forest, and it was only resolved when the current sect leader set the rules in a fit of anger.

The Universe Stone Forest, once opened, could last for three months.

Ye Zhen being punished to face the wall within Universe Stone Forest for half a year was enviable not just to the True Disciples, but even some Sect Elders were jealous.

“Instructor Liao, you’ve talked so much, and you’ve made Universe Stone Forest sound so good.

But what exactly is the use of Universe Stone Forest Secret Realm?” Ye Zhen asked.

“Don’t know!”

Liao Feibai’s reply surprised Ye Zhen even more.

“Every person gains different benefits from every entry into Universe Stone Forest.

Some might break through cultivation bottlenecks that have troubled them for ages, some might experience a rapid increase in cultivation, and others might improve the level of their Martial Skills or even the grade of their spiritual power,”

At this point, Liao Feibai’s eyes also revealed infinite envy, “According to records, two hundred years ago, someone entered the Universe Stone Forest Secret Realm and inexplicably understood a Divine Skill!”

“Divine Skills?

Inside Universe Stone Forest, one can actually comprehend the legendary Divine Skills.” Ye Zhen was so shocked that he was left speechless.

“That’s right!”

“By the way, Instructor Liao, haven’t you entered once?

What benefit did you gain from entering Universe Stone Forest?” Ye Zhen asked curiously.

This time, Liao Feibai did not hold back and suddenly, spiritual power burst forth from his fingertip.

The coldness contained within the spiritual power was so intense that, even three feet away, it sent chills down Ye Zhen’s bones.

“Spiritual power, elevating my hundred-year Ice Spiritual Power to a millennium Profound Ice Spiritual Power.”

Hiss, the mist released by the spiritual power turned into a series of frighteningly sharp ice spikes in the air when brushed by the wind and coming into contact with the moisture in the air.

Universe Stone Forest was located on Spirit Treasure Peak of Qiyun Sect.

When Ye Zhen arrived there, a man radiating powerful spiritual energy was losing his temper at the Peak Guardian Elder.

“Speak, who took my spot?

I’ve been waiting miserably for three years, completed countless sect tasks, and finally earned a chance to enter Universe Stone Forest to break through my bottleneck.

How can it be postponed just like that?”

“A delay of half a year even, tell me, who is making trouble for me?”

“Lord Luv, I really don’t know, I am just…” As the Peak Guardian Elder was troubled, he caught sight of Liao Feibai and Ye Zhen coming over and pointed at them, saying, “Look, they’re here.”

“They’re here?

I want to see who dares to compete with me over the spot…”

“Luv Xin, it’s me.

What’s the matter, itching for a beating again?”

Liao Feibai’s voice suddenly rang out, and the True Disciple, Luv Xin, who had just turned his head with fury, was startled upon hearing Liao Feibai’s voice.

“Ah…

It turns out to be Senior Sister Liao.

No rush, no rush.

I can wait another half-year, half a year is nothing for me to wait.” After saying that, Luv Xin soared into the sky and hurriedly fled.

Ye Zhen watched, breaking out in a cold sweat.

This Instructor Liao, whom he was following, just how terrifying was he?

Just a word was enough to scare away a True Disciple, to the point of not even daring to meet face-to-face.

Seeing Ye Zhen’s gaze, Liao Feibai laughed proudly, “See that, Ye Zhen?

This prestige is earned through strength.

I used to beat up Luv Xin three times a day, using Profound Ice Spiritual Power to directly freeze the kid into an ice popsicle, then I’d thaw him out in the scorching sun.

Now, he runs away as soon as he sees me, like a mouse seeing a cat.”

Ye Zhen was astounded.

Freezing someone into an ice popsicle and then thawing them out in the burning sun was cruel.

Instructor Liao was truly fierce.

“What are you dawdling for, get in there!”

Liao Feibai presented the Sect Leader Token, and the Peak Guardian Elder threw hundreds of Spirit Crystals into a dark cave in the mountain wall.

The instant a dazzling Light Gate appeared, Liao Feibai kicked Ye Zhen inside.

The moment Ye Zhen stepped into the Light Gate, he shouted, “Instructor Liao, remember to take good care of Meng Xiaoyue!”

As soon as Ye Zhen entered the Light Gate, the scene before his eyes instantly shifted.
