He Yun was busy concocting a new type of pill she had been researching, so Xiao Lin's progress with her was quite smooth. He left the plan behind and relayed Leng Youxue's plan once more. He Yun, busy controlling the heat, nodded and said she understood.

Xiao Lin quickly made his escape from Fragrant Pill Peak... Wait, why did this scene feel so familiar?

In any case, after another round of waiting at the "traffic lights," Xiao Lin arrived at Moon-Grasping Peak.

This mountain was one of the two combat peaks of the Flowing Cloud Sect, characterized by its inclusiveness. Whether you wield a sword, spear, axe, or whip, you can train at Moon-Grasping Peak. Li Yuhuan, who knows a little about everything, had already prepared suitable training plans for them.

Speaking of Li Yuhuan, the master of Moon-Grasping Peak, aside from his martial arts prowess, one must mention how he joined the Flowing Cloud Sect. Back then, as a wandering cultivator, he was out training when a Tribulation Realm demon cultivator took a fancy to him and wanted to take him back as a captive husband. Li Yuhuan, adhering to the principle of not aligning with evil, resolutely refused to comply with the 200-pound demon cultivator. Just as the demon cultivator was about to use force in anger, Leng Youxue happened to pass by and with a single slap, obliterated the demon cultivator, saving Li Yuhuan.

Since then, Li Yuhuan became a member of the Flowing Cloud Sect.

Thinking of these stories he heard from Leng Youxue, Xiao Lin walked into Li Yuhuan's residence.

...And then he saw Lu Qingdai, who was fuming with anger, and Li Yuhuan, who looked helpless.

"!"

Seeing the situation was not right, Xiao Lin immediately prepared to retreat, but before he could lift his foot, Lu Qingdai noticed his arrival.

"Senior Brother Xiao, you're just in time. Come and judge for us." Without another word, Lu Qingdai pulled Xiao Lin over and, with her hands on her hips, asked, "Senior Brother, tell me, a cultivation technique that only allows men to practice and not women, isn't that unreasonable?"

"Uh... It is indeed unreasonable..." Still not fully understanding the situation, Xiao Lin nodded instinctively.

"See? Senior Brother Xiao, you think so too, right?" Hearing someone agree with her, Lu Qingdai's momentum surged again as she looked at Li Yuhuan sitting in the main seat and said, "Master, you really need to change your views. Who says women are inferior to men? There's no difference between women and men; it's those outdated views and customs that create differences. So, Master, I should have the right to practice that cultivation technique!"

"Indeed, Uncle Li, there's no gender distinction in cultivation techniques. If..." Influenced by Lu Qingdai's emotions, Xiao Lin started to speak but, seeing Li Yuhuan's increasingly helpless expression, suddenly had a flash of insight and asked, "Uncle Li, may I take a look at the cultivation technique Lu Junior Sister mentioned?"

"Here, it's this one." Li Yuhuan handed a booklet directly to Xiao Lin.

"The Three Mystical Boy Technique"

The large characters on the cover left Xiao Lin dumbfounded.

When he opened the first page and saw the words "To practice this technique, one must first cultivate a masculine aura," he was even more at a loss.

Then...

"Uncle Li, I believe that disciplining disciples sometimes requires physical intervention."

"You're absolutely right, Nephew Xiao. I was actually thinking the same."

"Let me assist you."

"Excellent."

"Hmm? Senior Brother Xiao, Master? What are you going to do? Do you still look down on women? You... Ahhh! Don't hit the head, don't hit the head!"

...

...

The notification work at Moon-Grasping Peak was also completed quickly and smoothly. After giving Lu Qingdai a good talking-to with Li Yuhuan, Xiao Lin followed the procedure, took the plan, and relayed Leng Youxue's plan. Li Yuhuan laughed and agreed, even praising the sect leader for being quite playful.

After that, Xiao Lin went to Artifact Forging Peak.

Find the original at " pa𝑤read.com ".

This peak, as the name suggests, is responsible for crafting magical weapons and artifacts. There's also an interesting story about the peak master, Baili Wanyun. He wasn't a wandering cultivator but came from the prestigious body cultivation holy land, Wuxing Mountain. With his innate vitality and considerable talent, Baili Wanyun was even designated as the successor of Wuxing Mountain's sect leader. However, he couldn't stand the sight of the muscular men at Wuxing Mountain constantly training together with bare shoulders, making strange noises. So, he decisively left Wuxing Mountain and joined the Flowing Cloud Sect, which happened to be in need of people.

At Baili Wanyun's place, Xiao Lin encountered an obstacle. Baili Wanyun, upon seeing Leng Youxue's plan, loudly condemned the act, saying it was unfair to deal with a junior in such a manner. Even if the sect leader personally came to persuade him, he would resolutely refuse.

However, perhaps Xiao Lin's dejected figure touched Baili Wanyun. Not long after Xiao Lin left Artifact Forging Peak, Baili Wanyun, with a bruised face, caught up and said he was willing to do it.

When Xiao Lin asked why Uncle Baili's face was bruised in such a short time, Baili Wanyun simply said he tripped while walking and it was no big deal.

Xiao Lin could only sigh that even in the Dao Integration Realm, one must be careful while walking.

...Or should he marvel at how fast the Master acts?

Bidding farewell to Baili Wanyun, Xiao Lin then headed to Azure Sea Peak.

Compared to Green Lotus Peak, this peak is more like the main peak. After all, tasks like registering inner disciples and handling sect disciple rewards and punishments are managed by Azure Sea Peak. In contrast, the actual main peak of the Flowing Cloud Sect, Green Lotus Peak... well, it doesn't handle any responsibilities and has almost become a private mountain for Xiao Lin and others.

The current peak master of Azure Sea Peak, Dongfang Yu, is also the only "remnant of the previous dynasty" among the peak masters, not of wandering cultivator origin, so there's no story to tell.

As for Leng Youxue's plan, he had no objections, only helplessly sighing, "The sect leader's enthusiasm is always used in strange places."

Before leaving, Xiao Lin specifically inquired about Lin Aotian's situation. Learning that he was grounded for two years, Xiao Lin felt slightly relieved.

At least for the short term, that guy wouldn't be causing any trouble...

Finally, Xiao Lin arrived at the last mountain, Soaring Immortal Peak.

This peak is the other combat peak of the Flowing Cloud Sect. Compared to Moon-Grasping Peak, the disciples of Soaring Immortal Peak are all sword cultivators—this is the unique aspect of sword cultivators, known for their high combat and lethal capabilities. Almost any sect of a certain scale would allocate a separate mountain for sword cultivators, and there are even sects like the Azurecloud Sword Sect, composed entirely of sword cultivators.

The reason Xiao Lin left Soaring Immortal Peak for last wasn't random; there was a reason—

He was actually a bit afraid of the peak master of Soaring Immortal Peak.

That would be the blindfolded female sword cultivator, Li Qingjiu.

...

(Lin Aotian is just a pure clown character, not even considered a villain, mainly there to give Xiao Lin quest lines. Once the sparring plot is over, he'll be out of the picture, rest assured... How about sending some gifts, thank you all.)
