"Young junior brother, it's not that kind of cleansing, don't overthink it!"
"Cleanse yourself in the Jade Pool, wash away the mundane, and await your blessings!"
"To be so young and already here for the Yuyun selection, truly impressive!"
"I wonder who will become your top-ranked sister!"
The two maidens in palace attire burst into laughter at Chen Bei's words as they walked alongside him, teasing him playfully.
"Everything sounds fine, but why does it all seem like something suspicious when put together?"
Unfortunately, in his previous life, Chen Bei was the only male at Taixu Immortal Mountain, possessing the Chaotic Dao Physique. He was so well-protected by his master and senior sisters that he never ventured out much, and thus failed to notice the peculiarities of Yuyun Palace.
The deep palace of the Jade Pool was shrouded in mist, and the ethereal laughter that echoed around made Chen Bei's straightforward heart flutter with excitement. In the Jade Pool, he saw a pond full of beautiful maidens, their delicate garments clinging to their bodies, the water glistening on their skin. Some were even submerged in the pool, not wearing a stitch.
Everywhere was a display of alluring beauty, the water reflecting their proud figures.
"This... this doesn't seem appropriate, does it?"
In his heart, Chen Bei kept chanting a calming mantra, fearing he couldn't suppress the impure thoughts in his mind. After all, in his previous life, he eventually indulged in worldly pleasures and found them irresistible.
"There's nothing inappropriate! Let me help you disrobe for the bath, junior brother!"
The two maidens in palace attire had already shed their clothes.
"Hiss!"
Splash!
Without waiting for them to undress him, Chen Bei took a deep breath and plunged into the misty Jade Pool.
"Calm down! Calm down! Keep a clear mind! Do not gaze upon what is improper!"
He hoped the coolness of the pool would help him calm down, but to his surprise, the water was warm.
"Flame Spring of the Earth Veins? How can there be a Flame Spring here?"
As soon as Chen Bei entered the water, he noticed its difference, filled with traces of Fiery Yang from the earth. This rare Flame Spring was greatly beneficial for cultivation, explaining why so many people were soaking here in the middle of the night.
Splash!
Chen Bei emerged from the water, only to find himself surrounded by the women.
"Ah!"
"Hahaha!"
A sharp scream was followed by a chorus of melodious laughter. A petite figure shrank into the Flame Spring, but the clear water left nothing to the imagination.
"Isn't this the Palace Master's man?"
"He's here for cleansing already?"
"What a pity!"
"I heard from our Mistress that he has a Pure Yang Physique!"
"Such good fortune won't come to us, will it, sisters?"
"Hahaha!"
Splash!
A group of beautiful maidens pounced on Chen Bei in the water, laughing and playing, creating a lively scene with water splashing everywhere.
The slender, innocent girl crossed her arms over her chest, shy and nervous, as she swam towards the edge of the pool.
"Let us broaden your horizons!"
"Hahaha!"
Another burst of bell-like laughter echoed over the Jade Pool.
"Poof!"
Chen Bei didn't know how much water he had swallowed, pressed down by these women in the pool. When he surfaced again, he was face to face with the slender girl, whose face was flushed with embarrassment.
"Chen Bei brother!"
"Xiao Lan? Why are you here too? Hmm! Little girl, you need some nourishment!"
"Ah!"
Realizing what Chen Bei meant, Qin Lan let out a sharp cry and shrank into the water.
"The Palace Master is here!"
"Greetings to the Palace Master!"
The women were still frolicking around Chen Bei when a solemn voice came from outside the pool.
Finally, Chen Bei was rescued from the group of beautiful maidens.
"Enough! Who allowed you to bring him here without Transcendence? Xinlian, you're getting more and more thoughtless!"
"Master, didn't you say to bring him over once he finished cultivating?"
Following the Palace Master, Zuo Xinlian felt like a thousand horses were trampling through her mind. She was merely following instructions, yet was scolded right away.
"Never mind, this Jade Pool is indeed suitable for Pure Yang Physique cultivation. Let him practice here, and no one else is to disturb him!"
"Furong, stay and oversee Chen Bei's practice of the Rising Sun Art!"
"And your new disciple, with her rare Green Lotus Spiritual Body, continue nurturing her here!"
"Yes!"
With that, the Palace Master turned and left.
The group of beautiful maidens also departed from the Jade Pool one by one. Watching their graceful figures leave the water, Chen Bei felt his mouth dry and his throat parched.
The oars beneath the water began to sway continuously.
Let us row our little boat, pushing through the waves...
"Rising Sun Art?
What kind of technique is this?
I'm the Dominant Yang Divine Physique, the epitome of yang and strength, what more yang do I need to rise?"
Recalling the Palace Master's instructions, Chen Bei was utterly confused.
"You two, come over here!"
The Mistress of Furong Peak, standing by the Jade Pool, interrupted Chen Bei's thoughts.
Chen Bei, still wearing his clothes, climbed out of the water like a drenched chicken and bowed to Mistress Furong. However, Qin Lan, unsure where her clothes had been tossed by her senior sisters, was too embarrassed to defy the Mistress's orders, and approached her with great reluctance, her face flushed with shame and a hint of fear towards the Mistress.
Not long ago, she was just a little medicine child, dreaming of joining the Taixu Immortal Sect with Chen Bei to cultivate. Now, not only had she become a disciple of the immortal sect, but she seemed to have been assigned a significant role under Mistress Furong's tutelage. However, from what she heard from her senior sisters, this place seemed quite improper, making her timid heart even more anxious.
"This... Xiao Lan, why aren't you wearing any clothes!"
Seeing Qin Lan, Chen Bei's forehead began to sweat, thinking this little girl was indeed a bit clueless.
"I... I can't find my clothes, I'm sorry, Master!"
Facing the stern Mistress of Furong Peak, Qin Lan was so frightened that she started crying.
"Enough! Qin Lan, enter the Jade Pool first!"
Mistress Furong shook her head at Qin Lan. Disciples with such a timid nature would require considerable effort to train. However, she was the only disciple in the entire sect with a Spiritual Body, her future limitless.
"Qin Lan, you haven't started body refining yet. For now, focus on silently reciting the Spirit-Guiding Art in your heart while in the Jade Pool. The Fiery Yang in the pool will naturally temper your body."
"Yes, Master!"
Feeling as if she had been granted a reprieve, Qin Lan bowed to Mistress Furong and quickly plunged into the Jade Pool.
"Chen Bei, you've already reached the ninth level of body refining, and with your Pure Yang Physique, you can absorb the Power of Fiery Yang in the Jade Pool on your own, right?"
Pure Yang Physique? Well, few in the lower realm could recognize the dominant Dominant Yang Divine Physique.
"Now, I'll teach you the heart method of the Rising Sun Art. Once you transcend and open your Dantian, start practicing it immediately!"
"Yes!"
Chen Bei, understanding the situation, cupped his hands in salute.
"Five voids lead to the source, spirit gathers at the star platform, the core essence concealed, draw fire into the void, energy surges to the ultimate, roots deep and firm..."
As Mistress Furong recited the mantra, Chen Bei's expression grew increasingly grim.
"Mistress of Furong Peak! Does this technique have another name?"
"Another name?"
Mistress Furong was taken aback. She had no idea when the Rising Sun Art had acquired another name. How could this boy from the remote Lingnan know to ask such a question?
