Zhao Shisan

Eastern State, Lianbi Mountain, Eternal Sect.

Zhao Shisan walked out of the stone chamber, and numerous gazes immediately focused on her.

Her master, the elder, and several divine senses probed toward her.

Her eyes showed a hint of determination, and her innate willpower burst forth.

Simultaneously, she took a step forward.

Like a drop of water falling into a calm lake and ripples appeared.

Like a hawk, letting out a resounding cry.

On the square, thousands of disciples gathered, as if they all heard this sound.

It was a voice belonging to the Tao, a voice belonging to the laws.

Zhao Shisan had broken through.

She would become the first person in a thousand years to enter the fourth realm at the age of seventeen, except for her senior uncle, who had a demonic speed in cultivation.

They looked at her with envy but also with pride.

See, in our Eternal Sect, besides our senior uncle who ascended, we now have another genius in cultivation.

After the confirmation, the elders retracted their divine senses, casting appreciative glances her way.

Zhao Shisan nodded slightly and turned to walk towards the residence.

Even though she was acknowledged as a genius, her cultivation talent and speed had surpassed the imagination of many.

But she shook her head, "My senior uncle reached the fourth realm at the age of fifteen and the fifth realm at seventeen. How could I match his speed?"

She recalled the statue standing in the rear mountain square, her eyes filled with admiration and ardor.

A maid brought her a change of clothes, and high-quality peach blossom petals were thrown into the bathing pool.

She took off her white robe, revealing her flawless jade body, and stepped into the water, where the mist isolated everything.

"I will catch up with your footsteps."

She thought and then closed her eyes.

…

Outside Lianbi Mountain, there was a village that extended to the nearby county, all within the sealed territory of the Eternal Sect by the Great Tang.

The village was named Well-Spotting Village.

It was said that the genius who shook ancient and modern times saw a well in this village.

After calmly observing it for a day, he broke through his realm.

The village was named after him.

There were dozens of households in the village.

In recent years, many cultivators often paid visits to the well.

The villagers started operating guesthouses, and life became better.

Fewer people worked in the fields, as the immortal cultivators were often generous.

Being under the jurisdiction of the Eternal Sect, there were rarely any troubles.

The ancient well was the prosperity of the village.

In the courtyard where the well was located, a young man lay on a self-made bamboo chair, squinting in the sunlight.

Feeling thirsty, he reached out, and a maid handed him a bowl of tea.

After drinking, the maid took back the teacup, and he continued squinting, looking towards the person by the well.

That person stood under the well eaves, lowering his head without moving.

"Your time is up; you have to pay if you want to stay here longer.”

The young man’s voice was extremely pleasant.

If one looked closely, he would find that his face was also... captivating.

Indeed, if this face belonged to a woman, it would be mesmerizing, but on a man, it seemed overly enchanting.

The person by the well was a cultivator, and he didn't bother haggling with an ordinary mortal.

He took out a money pouch and threw it to him.

The young man didn't even bother to catch the money.

The maid hurriedly ran over, picking up the money pouch with a smiling face.

Until dusk, the person by the well sighed softly, as if admitting defeat after several days of celestial struggles.

Smoke rose in the courtyard, and the person by the well walked down.

The young man sighed deeply, seemingly distressed.

"Aren't you observing anymore?"

"I'm done."

The person had some stubble on his chin, which looked extremely weary.

"You can stay a bit longer. Maybe you'll break through your realm. Last time, someone stayed for a month and broke through. It's only been a few days for you."

The person's mouth twitched slightly: if I continue, all my money will be plundered by you.

But he remained silent.

He just pursed his lips and left.

"Alas."

A sigh came from behind.

"Who knows when another extremely naive person will come."

He stumbled, almost falling, but he quickened his pace.

As night fell, the young man and his maid had their meal in the courtyard.

After dinner, the maid took care of cleaning up and then locked the courtyard gate.

After a short while, the maid came out of the room again with a shy expression, completely undressed, revealing her wheat-colored body.

"Young lord, tonight, can we not..."

"No."

The handsome young man didn't show any mercy, not even sparing a glance at the maid's naked body.

"But young lord, I really... don't want to do it every day. It's exhausting."

The young man rolled his eyes and lay back on the bamboo chair.

The maid showed a look of grievance, then walked in front of the young man and sat down cross-legged with closed eyes.

In just a moment, her breath became steady.

With each breath, moonlight gathered on her body, which gradually condensed into a sacred radiance.

The young man, on the other hand, continued tapping his fingers on the bamboo chair, humming a tune he had picked up from somewhere.

Until the moon reached its zenith, the girl stopped her breathing exercises.

The moment she opened her eyes, all the radiance plunged into her body.

As usual, she ran into the house and hid under the quilt.

The night in Well-Spotting Village was chilly.

The young man glanced towards the distance, vaguely able to see a colossal silhouette resembling a city wall, then turned back to the house.

"Sleep aside, make some room for me."

The maid responded and moved inside the bed.

At night, a cold chill spread from the quilt.

Ye Xiaowei reached out his hand, only to find a layer of frost covering the bedding.

He looked at the person beside him.

Moonlight spilled onto her pale face, and her body trembled in the cold.

He reached towards the maid's mouth, and she bit down as if she smelled enticing food.

The young man frowned slightly, allowing her to bite into his flesh, drawing fresh blood.

With that, the maid's body temperature gradually returned to normal, and the young man withdrew his hand.

If one looked closely, he would notice that the young man's hands were covered with rows of bite marks, which was quite shocking.

The young man slept until mid-morning.

He smelled the aroma of food and then got up, noticing there was someone in the courtyard.

His gaze was cold, carrying the typical arrogance of a cultivator.

The maid added firewood to the stove; she seemed to be unaware of his presence.

Ye Xiaowei squinted his eyes.

It was a cultivator was from the Eternal Sect. He was wearing the distinctive robes of the sect, with some graying hair at his temples, appearing somewhat immortal.

Upon seeing Ye Xiaowei, the cultivator couldn't help but pause.

In this world, could there be such a beautiful... man?

However, after a brief pause, he recovered his arrogance and looked at the maid adding firewood to the stove.

"I think you should know who I am."

Ye Xiaowei, as if he hadn't heard, walked straight to the bamboo chair and lay down comfortably.

"young lord, you haven't washed up yet. It's time for breakfast."

The maid reminded.

However, the cultivator was irritated, sensing that Ye Xiaowei deliberately ignored her.

He was the Outside Elder of the Eternal Sect.

This time, he had been reminded to visit Well-Spotting Village when he down the mountain, as it was worth his attention.

Arriving at the spot where the person used to meditate, he discovered the maid, who was actually possessed the Jade Body.

Jade Body, one of the five renowned physiques alongside Glaze Body, granted extraordinary cultivation talent and the ability to practice specific powerful techniques.

So, the Outside Elder had the idea of bringing her into the sect.

However, seeing a potential genius with the Jade Body was commanded by ordinary people in a small village courtyard made him furious.

Thinking of this, he became angry, giving a cold snort.

"I am the Outside Elder of the Eternal Sect, Chen Dao."

The young man lay quietly on the bamboo chair, looking content.

The maid began placing bowls and chopsticks on the stone table in the courtyard.

Chen Dao's forehead twitched, and he decided not to argue with this country bumpkin.

"What's your name?"

He looked at the maid.

The maid was stunned, pointed to herself, and showed a puzzled expression.

"Yes, I'm asking you."

"I'm Jade."

Chen Dao was momentarily surprised and asked with curiosity, "Who gave you that name?"

Jade pointed to the lazy young man lying on the bamboo chair.

"It was young lord."

Chen Dao paused, somewhat curious.

"Are you willing to follow me to the Eternal Sect for cultivation?"

He asked Jade with a gentle smile.

Jade pointed again at the young lord lying on the bamboo chair.

"If the young lord goes, I'll go too."

Chen Dao was slightly surprised, looking at Ye Xiaowei, who, except for his appearance, had nothing remarkable.

"Although he has no Tao roots, he can still join the outside fraction as a miscellaneous disciple."

Chen Dao spoke.

If it weren't for the unusual Jade Body, people like Ye Xiaowei, with no Tao roots, wouldn't be able to enter the Eternal Sect.

"I really want to go, but the young lord is used to be served by me. How can he take care of others? Not to mention that I have to live with him."

Jade blushed at the thought of the evenings.

This expression made Chen Dao somewhat angry.

It seemed like her virginity was already lost.

He truly was a bastard. She was so young, and how could he...

Chen Dao twirled his beard.

If he could bring in a Jade Body for the sect, it seemed acceptable to keep ordinary people for it just meant a few more meals each day.

"As long as you are willing to devote yourself to cultivation and contribute to the growth of our Eternal Sect, I agree to take him in as well."

"But I still have to ask my young lord’s opinion."

Jade giggled, and Chen Dao looked again at the young man on the bamboo chair.

"Joining the Eternal Sect is a precious opportunity for many people. Young man, are you willing to go?"

"Do you provide meals?"

Ye Xiaowei opened one eye and glanced at Chen Dao.

"Yes."

The word was almost gritted through his teeth.

"Alright, we'll go."

It wasn't until Jade served the meal that Ye Xiaowei got up from the bamboo chair, rinsed his mouth with a cup of tea, and began to eat.

Chen Dao sat aside, pondering.

"After returning to the sect, she'll have to change the dining habits."

He thought to himself and secretly observed Jade, who was eagerly enjoying her meal.
