Chapter 97

Fang Zhiqing has been working hard, vowing to reclaim the position of the main peak of Leichi Peak. However, it's not that easy. Leichi Peak is now sparsely populated, and Fang Zhiqing's requirements for accepting new disciples are extremely strict. First, they need to have a lightning attribute constitution, and second, they must have good character. These two points alone already exclude most people. Beyond these, one must reach the Yuandan realm before the age of twenty or the Renying realm before the age of twenty-six to be eligible to join Leichi Peak. Therefore, Leichi Peak has only a few members.

"You joining Leichi Peak means you will be the only successor of Leichi Peak. Due to your special status, you are not only the successor of Leichi Peak but also the successor of Huoyan Peak, and you have inherited the sword qi of the founding ancestor. You will become the young master of Guiyuan Sect. Therefore, from now on, you will live and cultivate in the inner courtyard of the main hall of Leichi Peak." Fang Zhiqing led Huang Yu into the inner courtyard of Leichi Peak, which was a simple but lush courtyard with various precious herbs and a mystical aura. Nearby was the Thunder Pool, which emitted a purple mist, making the place extremely beautiful.

"This is the cultivation room."

The cultivation room was close to the small courtyard and could be accessed directly. The room was spacious, with special minerals laid out inside. With additional restrictions, this place was virtually impregnable.

Over there is the library.

Leichi Peak's library was not very large, and the books inside were not as old and yellowed as Huang Yu had imagined. On the contrary, the books looked as if they had just been copied.

"The books and techniques of Leichi Peak are all here. The first floor contains various books, the second floor contains general techniques, all of which are below the lower rank of the human level. These two floors can be entered and read freely, even by outer sect disciples. The third floor is only accessible to inner sect disciples, and the books and techniques here are all of the middle rank of the human level. The techniques of the earth level are only on the fourth floor, which can only be entered by successor disciples and sect elders. Of course, you have the qualifications and permissions." Fang Zhiqing introduced as she walked.

"Peak Master, is this a new disciple?" When they reached the fourth floor, an old man was cleaning. Seeing Fang Zhiqing, he smiled warmly, looking kind and approachable, which made people want to get close. The old man's aura was elusive, and Huang Yu was greatly surprised, realizing that the old man's strength was not to be underestimated.

"Old Solitary, this is the new disciple, successor disciple Huang Yu." Fang Zhiqing nodded and said to Huang Yu, "This is Old Solitary. He has been in Leichi Peak for over two hundred years, guarding the scripture hall. If you have any questions, you can ask him."

"Old Solitary."

"Little brother, very good, very good. Come and see the old man more often when you have time." Old Solitary nodded at Huang Yu without saying much more.

...

After more than an hour, Huang Yu had a basic understanding of Leichi Peak.

"Alright, you've understood what you need to know. Rest for a bit, and I'll take you to meet the people of Leichi Peak, then we'll have the formal ceremony." Fang Zhiqing said.

"Oh, Senior Sister, no, Master... Master..." Looking at Fang Zhiqing's young face, which didn't seem much older than his own, Huang Yu found it hard to call her "Master."

"No, don't call me Master. Call me Senior Sister. I will act as your master, so you can call me Senior Sister in the future." Fang Zhiqing smiled and said softly.

"Senior Sister." Hearing Fang Zhiqing's words, Huang Yu felt relieved.

It's better to call her Senior Sister. Calling her Master would feel awkward and hard to say.

Having a beautiful master is nice, but having a beautiful senior sister is even better.

It seems that in the future, he will be living with this beautiful senior sister. Thinking about it, having such a beautiful woman around will make life colorful.

Beautiful scenery, beautiful women, and one thing is missing—some good wine.

That would be perfect.

Drunk on the knees of a beauty, such a life, how far away could it be?

Huang Yu thought and involuntarily shook his head, lightly tapping it.

It seems he is becoming more lustful.

Since the incident of losing control and what happened with the Han family, he has felt something is wrong. His desires have become increasingly strong, especially when he sees beautiful women, making it hard to suppress.

Taking a deep breath, Huang Yu practiced the Thunder Dragon Technique.

After several cycles, he managed to suppress his thoughts.

Huang Yu suspected he might be losing control again.

He had previously asked Lulu, and she said it was nothing serious, just a result of the excessive yang fire from practicing the Thunder Dragon Technique. There was no major issue, and if he wanted to solve it, it was easy—find a woman to release his frustrations.

Huang Yu found this very speechless.

"Brat, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing Huang Yu not speaking for a long time, Fang Zhiqing turned back and noticed his unusual state. Her face turned slightly red, and for a woman who never showed kindness to men, she felt a bit different. She wasn't sure if it was because Huang Yu was a Heavenly Thunder Saint Body or for some other reason, but she wasn't repulsed.

"Ah... Senior Sister, nothing... I was just thinking about when I can enter the Thunder Pool to temper my body." Huang Yu was a bit embarrassed and hurriedly said.

"To enter the Thunder Pool to temper your body, you are not ready yet. Your cultivation is too weak, and you haven't reached the Yuanshen realm. If you enter, you will be crushed by the terrifying lightning power. Lightning power is extremely destructive, and with your Renying realm strength, it's not suitable."

"It's fine, Senior Sister. I have a special constitution. Didn't you say I am a Heavenly Thunder Saint Body? There should be an exception. I can't wait." Huang Yu shook his head and said.

"Even so, it's not worth the risk. With your talent, it won't take long to reach the Yuanshen realm. Moreover, your foundation is very solid, and you can reach the threshold of the Yuanshen realm in at most two years. Why rush?" Fang Zhiqing shook her head and said.

Although she knew Huang Yu was a Heavenly Thunder Saint Body, Fang Zhiqing still didn't dare to let him enter the Thunder Pool lightly. The Thunder Pool is extremely terrifying, and the lightning power is extremely dominant. It is almost as powerful as the lightning from the Thunder Catastrophe realm. Even Yuanshen realm cultivators entering to temper their bodies might be in danger. Huang Yu is only at the Renying realm, and even if he is a Heavenly Thunder Saint Body, she couldn't guarantee his safety, so she refused.

She certainly hoped Huang Yu would grow quickly, so that Leichi Peak could soon reclaim its position among the nine main peaks and become one of them again.

But haste makes waste, and Fang Zhiqing was clear about this. She would never take risks for a momentary thought.

Since becoming the peak master of Leichi Peak, Fang Zhiqing has been cautious in everything she does.

"Senior Sister, you really don't need to worry. I think Senior Sister doesn't know that I once fought Red Swallow to a draw. Red Swallow is at the peak of the Yuanshen realm. With this, I don't think you will worry anymore. The Thunder Pool, though powerful, is just a small challenge for me. If I can't overcome such difficulties, how can I become a great and supreme master?" Huang Yu said.

Huang Yu wanted to go to the Thunder Pool to temper his body not only because it would greatly strengthen his body but also because he wanted to see if the small Thunder Pool could confirm whether it was a fragment of a heavenly artifact.

Despite his words, Fang Zhiqing still didn't agree, just saying she would see and consider it, which left Huang Yu very frustrated.

...

...

Time flew by quickly.

What was once a bright and sunny day turned into a sunset.

The afterglow of the sun shone down.

Making the entire Leichi Peak look magnificent.

Inside the main hall of Leichi Peak.

All the members of Leichi Peak, including outer sect disciples and miscellaneous disciples, were present.

This was Huang Yu's formal ceremony to become a disciple.

Although it was a formal ceremony, there were no outsiders, only members of Leichi Peak. Originally, Hong Tianchou was going to come, but he had to enter seclusion due to a sign of breakthrough.

Looking at the people present, Huang Yu finally understood the current situation of Leichi Peak.

Fang Zhiqing is the peak master and elder of Leichi Peak, with a cultivation level of the third layer of the Yin-Yang realm.

Next is the chief executive Hai Tianxiong, who looks about forty, with thick eyebrows and large eyes, appearing very rugged, with a cultivation level of the peak of the Thunder Catastrophe realm.

Then there is himself, the only successor disciple of Leichi Peak.

As for the two inner sect disciples, one is Luo Wanru, who lives up to her name, a beautiful and refined female disciple. The other is Wang Xiaowei, whose appearance made Huang Yu frown. This young man looks very similar to the disciple of the Zhongyuan Sword Sect whom he killed, not just in appearance but also in temperament.

If he hadn't confirmed that the other was killed, Huang Yu would have thought it was the same person.

This Wang Xiaowei's name is also similar, so Huang Yu guessed he might be the brother of Wang Xiaowei.

The way this guy looked at him seemed unfriendly, filled with jealousy, resentment, and other negative emotions.

Could his identity have been exposed? Does he know that he is the one who killed his brother?

But thinking about it, it didn't make sense. If he knew, his expression wouldn't be one of jealousy and resentment. So, it must be because Huang Yu became the successor disciple.

The status difference between inner sect disciples and successor disciples is significant. Wang Xiaowei has good talent and is already at the peak of the Yuanshen realm, just one step away from the Thunder Catastrophe realm. Once he reaches the Thunder Catastrophe realm, he can become a successor disciple.

However, Huang Yu, who is only at the Renying realm, became a successor disciple before him.

In the Guiyuan Sect, each main peak can have two successor disciples, while the other seventy-two small peaks can only have one. Wang Xiaowei, who had the best chance to become a successor disciple, lost his opportunity due to Huang Yu's appearance, making him jealous and resentful.
