Lu Yilin felt a little perplexed as she watched Zhou Yuncong walk out of the room without saying a word. “It’s true – everyone thinks that my master is very handsome, even if he’s always pulling a long face…”

Typically, cultivators’ physical appearance would become more attractive as they grew in mastery even if they weren’t yet at the immortal soul stage. Those that originally looked normal would become more good-looking due to the Qi training and whatnot.

Those that were already attractive from the start would become even more head-turning.

Zhou Yuncong was always cold and stoic, but his features were stunning. Amongst the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ second generation of disciples, besides Han Yang, everybody else wasn’t as good-looking.

This was a judgment purely based on his features and his physical appearance. Still, even if one considered aura and mannerisms, Zhou Yuncong would still be one of the most outstanding few.

The younger generation of disciples would start gossiping when they had spare time. Even though they showed their respect to their seniors and didn’t gossip about them behind their backs, some of them would still discreetly discuss relatively more frivolous things.

Of course, this only went up to Zhou Yuncong and Han Yang and the other second-generation successive disciples. They didn’t dare to talk about Lin Feng, Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao and the others.

However, nobody would dare to bring this up in front of the person they were gossiping about like Lu Yilin did.

Lu Yilin shook her head cluelessly, but she quickly recovered and tried to follow her master but he had vanished into thin air.

She was a little confused and paced around the various tunnels and rooms inside the Nirvana World aimlessly.

Lights suddenly flashed before her eyes and she arrived inside another quiet room, and there was a purple-robed youth sitting inside.

This youth was just sitting there, but it felt as if he had fixed the transformations of Yin and Yang and caused the entire room to be in state of silence and nonmovement – yet, everything appeared incredibly aligned and harmonious.

There appeared to be a million things that were gestating and being nurtured inside his body, and embodied unfathomable transformations within the deathly silence.

Lu Yilin saw him and immediately exclaimed, “Grand master!”

The youth clad in a purple robe was the Nirvana World’s owner, the Yin Yang Holy Priest, Zhou Yuncong’s master and Lu Yilin’s grand master – Yang Qing.

Yang Qing’s expression was calm but there was a tinge of coldness inside his warm and tender eyes. The black and white colors in his pupils were distinct and faintly flickered with lights that tugged at people’s heartstrings.

Lu Yilin felt her heart begin to slow just by looking at him. Her lively disposition was also neutralized quite a bit, and her mannerism began to stabilize as she suddenly thought of rules and formalities before he hurriedly bowed down before Yang Qing and said, “Lu Yilin pays her respects to you, Grand master.”

Yang Qing waved his hand and replied, “No need for such formalities. Start learning from Zhou Yuncong as soon as you have settled down and take care of your body.”

Lu Yilin and Duan Muhong were good seeds that Yang Qing had discovered in his doctoring journey. It was a coincidence that she had been like Duan Muhong all those years ago, when she was plagued with a terrible malady. Her symptoms were strange and uncanny, and extremely difficult to deal with.

This young girl’s physique was peculiar. Yin and Yang couldn’t coexist within her body, yet they were constantly changing, and the balance was frequently unsettled. From a certain perspective, this was the complete opposite of Yang Qing’s body, which had a perfect balance between Yin and Yang.

Yang Qing had healed her from her illness afterwards and she followed him back to the mountain, where she passed the entrance test and joined the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Yang Qing had barely spoken with Lu Yilin before someone walked in from the room’s entrance – it was Zhou Yuncong, who had previously just walked out.

Zhou Yuncong was holding a bag in his hands. He extended his hands and the bag drifted into the air and landed at Lu Yilin’s feet.

“It’s for you,” said Zhou Yuncong. Lu Yilin blinked once and opened a corner of the bag, and saw several bottles and cans inside.

Yang Qing explained, “These things are for your baptism later. Yuncong will take you to the Grand Moon Lake shortly.”

The Grand Moon Lake was the source of the Grand Moon Primordial Water that flowed within the Nirvana World, and Yang Qing was the one that had set it up. It circulated continuously, and the azure waters flowed through the entire region before it returned to the Grand Moon Lake.

Yang Qing had cultivated there in his early years, and Zhou Yuncong did the same when he first entered the sect as well.

Lu Yilin began to ask curiously, “Grand master, grand master…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Yang Qing turned towards her as if he knew what she was thinking and said, “This baptism only has to be done once. It won’t take long – fifteen minutes will be enough.”

Lu Yilin opened her mouth again. “Grand master, grand master…”

“You don’t have to change your clothes. The clothes that you are wearing now is specially tailored by the Celestial Sect of Wonders, and they will not affect your baptism. Yuncong won’t have to look away.”

“Grand master, grand master.”

“I know what you are thinking, but it’s not because I am intentionally violating your privacy. It’s only because your thoughts are too lively, and your soul is too unstable while you are not even trying to control it either. This means that your thoughts are flowing out and everything is like paintings and images to me, and I can see everything very clearly.”

Lu Yilin finally stopped talking. However, her mouth didn’t close as it was hanging open as she stared at Yang Qing with a dazed look.

Yang Qing continued, “You need to be careful of this when you cultivate in the days to come. Lively and nimble thoughts isn’t a bad thing, but all things are only good in moderation and they will be problematic if you don’t learn to control them.”

“If you don’t learn to control them, when you leave the mountain gate later on and meet other immortal soul stage cultivators or even some nascent soul stage cultivators, everything that you’re thinking of will fall into their eyes and you won’t be able to hide from them.”

Lu Yilin wanted to say something, but she quickly closed her mouth. Excitement and exhilaration flowed from her eyes as she turned towards Zhou Yuncong.

Zhou Yuncong remained expressionless but said nothing, while Yang Qing smiled and said, “Yes, Zhou Yuncong can see them as well.”

Lu Yilin blinked her eyes a few more times as she stared at Zhou Yuncong. Zhou Yuncong glanced at her but said nothing, while Lu Yilin stepped a little closer to him and started walking around him in circles. It felt as if she was trying to display everything she was thinking about so that Zhou Yuncong could see everything.

Zhou Yuncong decided to close his eyes. Lu Yilin turned towards Yang Qing once more, but even though his eyes were still open and there still a faint smile on his face, he said nothing more.

Lu Yilin’s eyes were fixed on her master, whose eyes were still closed, and her gaze darted between him and her grand master, who had stopped “translating” for her. She couldn’t hold back any longer as she ran beside Zhou Yuncong and said, “Master, master – why didn’t you tell me that you could see everything that I was thinking about just now?”

Zhou Yuncong opened his eyes once more, but he didn’t look at Lu Yilin and turned towards Yang Qing instead. “Master, are you trying to calm her down with me as a foundation?”

Yang Qing returned his disciple’s gaze, and his eyes appeared like he could see right into the bottom of Zhou Yuncong’s heart. “It’s not just her – it’s the same for you.”

Zhou Yuncong was a little taken aback, and the cold look on his face dissipated momentarily as his expression became one of contemplation.

Lu Yilin’s curious eyes continued to bounce between the two of them. “Master, master – how do I calm myself down? We…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Zhou Yuncong shook her away from his sleeve and swept her up with his mana while he grabbed the bag that contained all those bottles from before.

Yang Qing’s eyes rippled as he saw all this, and he shot an exasperated look at Zhou Yuncong. “Yuncong?”

Zhou Yuncong’s expression was back to normal, and he bowed before Yang Qing respectfully. “I will try my best. Thank you, master.”

Yang Qing stared at him for a long while before he waved his hands and said, “I trust that you will know your limits. Go and baptize her. However, whatever just happened will be the first and the last time – it shall not happen again.”

Zhou Yuncong’s face had just returned to normal, but it contorted a little as he swiftly departed from the room that Yang Qing was in.

The Tian Jin Master of the Celestial Sect of Wonders that everyone below the immortal soul stage were so afraid of seemed to be stumbling as he walked.

Lin Feng was still sitting atop the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree. There was a look of amusement on his face as he looked down at the branch below him and chided, “This little girl is even gossiping about me.”

Zhou Yuncong’s situation was unique. He had to be extra careful about his cultivation and meticulous planning was required, and everything was arranged between Lin Feng and Yang Qing. Lin Feng wouldn’t interfere anymore once Zhou Yuncong was on the proper track. However, Lin Feng would still have to monitor for a while when he was first starting to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Thus, the scene where Zhou Yuncong lost his temper with Lu Yilin fell into his eyes and he also heard about Lu Yilin’s various questions.

Lin Feng shook his head and said nothing more. He originally intended to find a disciple for Zhou Yuncong, but this disciple turned out like that and even Lin Feng felt a little surprised.

Lin Feng decided to refine his plan. That pair of master and disciple would have to mutually train their mentalities and their minds. For Zhou Yuncong, being a master was more than just passing on his mantras and abilities, and he would benefit a lot more than just improving his mantras in the end.

Whether it was the world or within the Celestial Sect of Wonders, everybody’s understanding of Zhou Yuncong was only scratching the surface but Lin Feng and Yang Qing knew better.

Zhou Yuncong wasn’t cold and heartless by nature, and neither was he a belligerent warmonger that craved blood. His current personality and the way he fought his battles was heavily affected by his unique Yang-Incinerating Entity.

Zhou Yuncong’s personality was as explosive as it was cold. He could take suffering and pain and he could persevere through everything. However, he couldn’t be wronged or aggrieved and that meant he was irritable and easily ticked off by others. It was hard to pacify him once he was infuriated.

However, the method in which he showed his anger wasn’t shouting or screaming – instead, it was a cold disposition that chilled others to the core.

Zhou Yuncong himself wasn’t perfect. He was ice cold on the outside and scorching hot on the inside and he cared a lot about the people he was close to. He felt extremely proud about the Celestial Sect of Wonders and he had a strong sense of belonging, but he wasn’t the kind that easily opened up to others.

As for Lu Yilin, before Zhou Yuncong would officially start taking her seriously, all her chatter and her unfiltered displays would easily anger Zhou Yuncong. She was also a blur person by nature, and this meant she wouldn’t even be aware that she had ticked off Zhou Yuncong.

There was a saying that went: before one could feel proud from others’ doting, one had to be pampered to begin with before anything else.

Yang Qing and Lin Feng had no intentions to suppress Zhou Yuncong and they didn’t want to force him to accept the things that he just couldn’t accept. They didn’t intend to force Zhou Yuncong to change his personality.

However, they would still want Zhou Yuncong to refine and adjust the negative aspects of his personality within a controllable range.

Otherwise, he would face extreme difficulty and impediments when he was breaking through to the immortal soul stage. It could even be said to be a hopeless endeavor for life, and this wasn’t an exaggeration.

Lu Yilin also had to be trained and grinded by Zhou Yuncong, but this wasn’t entirely about what she could control. Instead, it was more of helping her avoid losing even more control. She didn’t have to be forced to change her personality, but she also needed refining and adjustments.

Zhou Yuncong would have to be in charge of this as well as the boundaries of everything. Yang Qing would be guiding him from the side, and Lin Feng had faith that both master and disciple would do a good job.
