Every month at the beginning, Dao Sword Sect would distribute monthly supplies including spirit stones and elixirs to the inner sect disciples in the Butler Hall at Master Peak for the disciples' daily cultivation.
On the first day of June in the morning, it was noisy and bustling in the small square in front of Butler Hall with over a hundred people gathered there. They were all Dao Sword Sect disciples, including ordinary disciples, inner sect disciples and personally taught disciples. They stood in groups of three to five, either chatting and laughing, discussing scriptures and daoism, gossiping, exchanging information, and so on.
For example, someone here brought up, "Do you know there are four cultivation methods for the Sky Fire Art? If not, come over and I will explain them in detail to you..."
His companion immediately retorted, "It's just a fire spurting technique, what's there to study about it?"
"Oh! You don't understand. If you cultivate using different types of flames, you will get different effects..."
Over there someone was asking, "Are the Silver-backed Demon Monkeys at Eagle Howl Ravine still around there? Their monkey liquor is quite good. My cultivation level has been rising too fast recently and my mind and spirit are a little unstable. I'm thinking of getting some monkey liquor to relax my mind."
His companion reminded, "Then you have to be careful. I heard a few days ago some rogue cultivator went there to provoke those monkeys. It seems he has stolen a baby monkey and now the whole troop of Silver-backed Demon Monkeys have gone mad at Eagle Howl Ravine!"
"Then forget it, I'll just spend some spirit stones to buy some elixirs..."
Someone was worried and said, "Do you know about the uprising of demonic beasts at the Hengduan Mountains?"
"Demonic beast uprising?" His companion nodded in deep agreement, "No wonder the last Green Robe Sparrow was so irritable."
"Not just that..." He said, "It is said that this uprising involves ancient secrets."
Someone else asked around, "Didn't Huang Feiyu take some people to hunt the Lionheart Raging Flame Beast? It has been so long, what were the results?"
"Still unknown. Anyway they haven't returned yet..." His companion replied, "The Lionheart Raging Flame Beast's whole body is treasured. If the hunt is successful, they would profit tremendously."
"If they still haven't returned until now... then things don't look good. The Lionheart Raging Flame Beast is too fierce. I would call it the most powerful fourth level demonic beast." Another companion said.
Someone was fanning himself and said laughingly to his companion, "Do you know which of the newly admitted female disciples are the most beautiful?"
A companion said, "I heard Sword Peak's Tian Wenjin and Qi Peak's Liu Piaoxu are peerless beauties out of thousands."
"Oh, that news is outdated, outdated!" He closed his fan and tapped his companion, "Let me tell you all, among this batch of disciples, there are the five greatest beauties. Sword Peak's Tian Wenjin and Qi Peak's Liu Piaoxu are naturally among them that everyone knows. But what you all don't know is that on our Master Peak, there is a pair of twin peerless beauties who look exactly the same and are equally beautiful..."
"How come there are only five greatest beauties? During our time there used to be the ten greatest beauties!" Another companion interrupted and lamented how later generations cannot compare to earlier ones, but he immediately asked, "Who's the last one?"
"There is a peerless beauty at Dan Peak..." He confidently smiled, "You guys definitely won't know about this news."
"Dan Peak?" The few companions all shook their heads, "There's barely anyone at Dan Peak left and only a Foundation Establishment junior cultivator there guarding the mountain gate. How can there possibly be any peerless beauty?"
"Dan Peak really has..."
Before he could finish speaking, suddenly a streak of flowing light flew over from the distant sky, attracting the gazes of the men as it drew near. He also looked over and interrupted his own words.
That flowing light approached, riding on a sword - it was sword flight. The person was a sword cultivator.
On the sword was a woman dressed in light green separate collar blouse and long skirt, adorned with butterfly patterns at the bottom. At her slender waist that one could encompass with a hand was tied a pale white sash imprinted with a peony flower pattern.
She had an enchanting fox-like face with peach blossom eyes, naturally exuding charm and beauty that plucked at one's heartstrings. That was mixed with a cultivator's clear, cold aura, plus her aloof and arrogant personality, making her complex with bewildering layers of beauty.
It was an interweaving of different types of beauty.
Even though the men still couldn't see her facial features clearly from afar, they had already been drawn to look at her. As she drew near and her looks could be seen clearly, they couldn't take their eyes off her.
She landed in front of Butler Hall, returned her sword to its sheath and strode into the hall with a sword cultivator's free and otherworldly air.
"That's Sword Peak's Tian Wenjin." The fan-holding man praised, "Not only is she beautiful on the outside, she is also quite talented. She has just joined the sect for over a month and has already reached the mid Foundation Establishment stage. You can tell from her adept sword flight that she is exceptionally gifted. I heard Sword Peak's Sword Master Elder is already considering taking her as a personal disciple. I wonder if that is true or false."
"She really is like a fairy..." A companion said, "Too bad Huang Feiyu already laid claim on her first. That guy really is shameless making his move so quickly."
"Hmph, even if Huang Feiyu didn't make a move, could a beauty like this possibly be tainted by the likes of you?" The fan-holding man shook his head, mercilessly exposing the naked truth, "Moreover, Huang Feiyu is the Sword Peak Master's personal disciple. He is already at the Golden Core stage. Where is he lacking?"
"What a pity..." Some companions sighed.
At this moment, suddenly another streak of flowing light flew over from the distant sky. It was another sword cultivator. Those with good vision looked over and saw the person on the sword. They couldn't help but cry out in praise, "So handsome. Truly a peerless beauty in the mortal realm!"
Only then did everyone else look towards the new arrival. As she drew near, immediately a commotion broke out in the square. Many female cultivators even couldn't help letting out screams, "So handsome!"
On the sword was a female cultivator dressed entirely in white with pitch black, smooth, long hair fluttering freely in the wind. She had heroic thick eyebrows and cold thin lips with slightly concentrated almond eyes, carrying a sharp edge. Her delicate, fair face exhibited a sword cultivator's clean and neat temperament.
She gave off an aloof aura yet was brimming with sharpness, like a dark comet or a blade amidst ice and snow.
The gentle beauty of a lady and the cold edge of a sword cultivator were perfectly blended within her.
Not only were men drawn to her, even women were infatuated by her.
She landed gracefully in front of Butler Hall. Her treasured sword slid into its sheath like a fish in water. Her actions were carefree with an air of elegance.
"Ah... I'm fainting!" A female cultivator was so excited she really fainted while supported by her companion.
As they watched the woman enter the hall, the fan-holding man's companion eagerly asked him, "Who is she?"
What an aura of grace!
The fan-holding man reluctantly retracted his gaze and said with an admiring sigh, "That is the peerless beauty from Dan Peak, Li Shiyin."
"Dan Peak really has such a peerless beauty?" His companions found it unbelievable and all voiced out it was impossible. But then doubt arose, "Dan Peak? Isn't she a sword cultivator?!"
"How would I know clearly?" The fan-holding man shook his head, "But interestingly, from my observation, Li Shiyin seems to have even better mastery of spiritual power than Tian Wenjin."
"Tian Wenjin already has unmatched talent. Li Shiyin's talent exceeds even Tian Wenjin?"
"I don't know, don't know!" The fan-holding man shook his head, "The Dao Sword Sect is thriving huh!"

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled.

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
