The Inner and Outer Forbidden Zones

However, even if Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones could be awarded, the level of Tycoon's Confidence would have to be very high.

It's too early to think about these things now.

Lu Yang shook his head slightly, deciding not to think about it anymore.

He got up from the bed, pushed open the door, and walked out of the bedroom.

The lights in the corridor had been turned up, casting a soft white glow on the polished stone walls.

Outside the door, Jiang Shiqing stood there quietly.

Today she wore a light green, fitted long dress with a white silk sash around her waist, which accentuated her slender figure. Her dark hair was tied back with a white jade hairpin, with a few strands falling beside her ears. A faint smile graced her bright face.

When she returned home last night, she saw Lu Yang busy in the bedroom.

She was naturally familiar with that slowly rotating black sphere.

During their dual cultivation sessions, the two mostly stayed in Lu Yang's bedroom, where a large Spiritual Qi Concentration Regulator was conspicuously displayed in the corner; of course, she had seen it before.

In her view, that was the young master's magic Law Treasure. As for the origin and usage of the Law Treasure, since the young master didn't say, she didn't ask.

Seeing that Lu Yang was busy, she didn't disturb him and quietly retreated to her room to continue studying the True Explanation of the Azure Waves.

It wasn't until early morning, after Jiang Shiqing finished her cultivation, that she came to wait at the door.

Seeing Lu Yang come out of the door, Jiang Shiqing's eyes lit up, and she greeted him with a smile, "Young Master, are you done with your work?"

Lu Yang nodded and casually asked, "What were you doing in Yingying's cave abode last night? Why did you stay there for so long?"

Jiang Shiqing stuck out her tongue, a sly smile appearing on her face, "Chatting with Nanyue."

She felt a deep sense of satisfaction when she recalled Qin Nanyue's flustered and incoherent appearance yesterday.

Nanyue, a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator and the eldest daughter of the Qin Household, was usually so dashing and spirited. Yet, she was rendered completely red-faced and wished she could disappear into the ground by just a few casual words from Qin Yue. The scene was truly unforgettable.

Hehe~

However, I won't go into the details of what we discussed, young master.

She quickly changed the subject, smiling, and said, "I've already prepared breakfast, young master, would you like to have your meal first?"

"Good."

While Lu Yang and Jiang Shiqing were having breakfast, Su Jinxuan and the other three were suspended in mid-air in the sky outside the mountain peak, their expressions showing a hint of undisguised tension.

Last night, they cleared all the mountains in a large area nearby.

Not only the six peaks selected by Lu Yang, but also all the elders and disciples on dozens of surrounding peaks were dispersed.

This was Lin Xuanchen's idea.

He plans to build the restricted area into a two-tiered structure, with an inner and an outer layer.

The outer forbidden area is used to conceal its true nature. After being isolated by array formations, it looks like an ordinary forbidden area, no different from the forbidden areas of other sects.

The core area, where one can truly enjoy ten times the concentration of Spiritual Qi, is hidden in the deepest part of the forbidden land.

In this way, even if spies from other sects sneak into the outer perimeter, they will not be able to uncover the real secrets.

There is another advantage to doing this.

If you want to expand the area of Spiritual Qi mountains tenfold in the future, you can simply choose an empty mountain from the outer forbidden area; the disturbance will be much smaller.

After dispersing the cultivators, the four of them hovered outside Lu Yang's mountain peak and waited.

The morning light spread across the horizon, turning the mountain mist a pale gold.

The pine forest swayed gently in the morning breeze, and the faint sound of mountain streams drifted up from the trees.

None of the four were interested in appreciating the scenery; their eyes remained fixed on the mountain peaks shrouded in spiritual mist below.

The concentration of Spiritual Qi hasn't changed yet, so they're naturally still a little uneasy.

Han Qianshan was the first to lose his composure, crossing his arms over his broad chest, his tone filled with impatience. "Young Master Lu said it would be effective today, I wonder when today is?"

His blond hair cascaded over his shoulders, fluttering slightly in the morning breeze, and his muscles beneath his grey linen robe were taut.

Qi Yunshu turned to look at Su Jinxuan and asked curiously, "Junior sister, do you know?"

Su Jinxuan glanced at Qi Yunshu speechlessly. "How would I know about such a secret matter?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuanchen stroked his silver-white beard and chuckled, "This matter is indeed kept secret. However... Young Master Lu seems to care quite a bit about you, Jinxuan."

Han Qianshan and Qi Yunshu exchanged a glance and simultaneously revealed a meaningful smile.

They all felt that Lu Yang might have taken a liking to Su Jinxuan.

After all, the female cultivators around Lu Yang were all stunning beauties.

Su Jinxuan's beauty is no less than theirs, and may even surpass it.

It seems reasonable that Lu Yang would take a liking to Su Jinxuan.

Su Jinxuan's heart skipped a beat, but her cold and beautiful face remained calm.

She said calmly, "Young Master Lu and I have been discussing the Dao for some time now, and we have both gained something. We can be considered fellow Daoists."

Hearing this, Han Qianshan raised an eyebrow, somewhat disbelieving, and said, "Each gains something? Can Young Master Lu's understanding of the Great Dao compare to yours?"

It should be noted that the Golden Rainbow Sword Canon requires an extremely high level of understanding of the Great Dao.

Although Han Qianshan was in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, he believed that his understanding of the Great Dao was not as good as Su Jinxuan's.

No matter how talented Lu Yang is, he's still just a junior in the Qi Refining Realm. How could he possibly compare to Su Jinxuan in terms of understanding the Great Dao?

Su Jinxuan glanced at him, her tone remaining calm. "Young Master Lu's talent is beyond your imagination."

Seeing Su Jinxuan's confident expression, Qi Yunshu, who was standing to the side, immediately recalled her experience of discussing Dao with Lu Yang on the Flowing Light Flying Boat, and the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

That time, Lu Yang inexplicably comprehended the Metal Dao Divine Ability, and he still can't forget that scene.

However, Lu Yang's understanding of the Golden Sword and the Golden Sword had actually deepened to the point that even Junior Sister Su could benefit from it?

Compared to when we first discussed philosophy, this progress is simply too great!

Keep in mind, this all happened in less than a month!

Just as Qi Yunshu was about to ask for details, Lin Xuanchen suddenly tensed up and whispered, "They're here!"

The other three immediately turned to look at the mountain peak where Lu Yang was.

The dense spiritual mist that had been firmly shrouding the mountain peak began to slowly spread outwards.

The spiritual mist drifted over the mountain paths, over the deep valleys, over the streams and spiritual fields, and slowly advanced towards the six surrounding peaks.

The mist shimmered with a faint silver-gold halo in the morning light, flowing silently, yet captivating the four Nascent Soul True Lords.

In less than an hour, all six mountain peaks were also shrouded in spiritual mist.

Su Jinxuan and her three companions were already hovering above one of the mountain peaks.

The moment the spiritual mist engulfed the mountain they were on, a surge of rich Spiritual Qi rushed in from all directions, seeping into their meridians through their pores, causing the spiritual power in their Dantian to become active involuntarily.

Each breath felt like drinking a mouthful of rich, spiritual elixir!

Lin Xuanchen's withered hands trembled slightly.

Having lived for nearly a thousand years, witnessing many major events and countless storms within the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, he was now so excited that his voice trembled. "Young Master Lu's methods are truly unfathomable! With these peaks, perhaps in the future our Golden Rainbow Sword Sect will indeed produce a Spirit Transformation Realm expert! May the ancestors of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect bless us!"

Qi Yunshu and Han Qianshan were equally excited.

Qi Yunshu clenched her fists, her usually composed face now filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Han Qianshan grinned widely, his long golden hair fluttering in the wind, his laughter echoing through the valley.

In contrast, Su Jinxuan's expression was much calmer.

There was even a very subtle, indescribable sense of loss in her heart.

Now that there are already six new peaks, she, as the Supreme Elder of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, naturally also received an independent peak.

After that, she naturally could no longer live in the cave abode on Mount Lu Yang.

The thought had barely crossed her mind when Su Jinxuan keenly caught it.

As Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, she was fully aware of every fluctuation in her heart.

She couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

What am I thinking?

Could it be that after hundreds of years of cultivation, he couldn't even endure this little bit of loneliness?

She gently shook her head, erasing that trace of disappointment.

Lin Xuanchen took a deep breath of the incredibly rich spiritual Spiritual Qi, feeling it circulate more than twice as fast as usual within his meridians. Filled with emotion, he withdrew his gaze and said, "Let's go find Young Master Lu and thank him in person!"

He paused for a moment, then turned to Su Jinxuan: "Jinxuan, you and Fairy Baili of the Mystic Mystery Palace are close friends, so you should personally go to the Mystic Mystery Palace and ask her to help set up the formation."

Su Jinxuan nodded slightly, her tone calm. "Yes, I was planning to go anyway. I had already promised Young Master Lu that I would invite a Grandmaster of Formation Dao to set up an array for him."

Lin Xuanchen immediately clapped his hands and laughed, "That's perfect! Let's go find Young Master Lu first."

The four transformed into four streaks of light and flew towards the mountain peak where Lu Yang was located.

The mornings in the mountains are exceptionally refreshing.

The spiritual mist swelled slowly in the morning light, and the pine needles by the roadside were covered with dew from the previous night. Occasionally, a single dewdrop would succumb to the weight and roll down, hitting the bluestone slab and scattering into several pieces.

Lu Yang had just finished breakfast and was jogging along a mountain path.

He wore a white robe, the fabric of which shimmered slightly with a fluorescent glow from the spiritual mist, and his steps were light and rhythmic.

Su Jinxuan and her three companions originally planned to go directly to the cave abode to find Lu Yang.

To my surprise, I saw Lu Yang jogging slowly on a mountain path like an ordinary person.

This surprised Lin Xuanchen and the other two.

They had never seen monks running for exercise before.

Su Jinxuan had met Lu Yang a few times before and knew that he had a habit of jogging to aid digestion. She was a little surprised at first, but she got used to it later.

She flew towards Lu Yang first, her long robe of phoenix feathers, interwoven with gold and red, fluttering gently in the wind.

Lu Yang stopped in his tracks, and his eyes lit up when he heard Su Jinxuan say that she was going to the Mystic Mystery Palace to invite a master of Formation Dao formations to set up an array.

That's exactly what he needs right now.

There was only spiritual mist on the mountain peak, not even a proper defensive formation, relying entirely on Wang Da and his few bodyguards to guard it day and night.

But this is still not comprehensive enough.

Su Jinxuan said softly, "Young Master Lu, your understanding of the Golden Rainbow Sword Canon Cultivation Method already no worse than mine. After I return, we can discuss the Dao again, and I can specifically guide you on the Law Technique within."

After yesterday's battle, she could naturally see that although Lu Yang's Law Technique was powerful, his level of comprehension was not particularly high.

Lu Yang nodded and smiled, "No problem."

Su Jinxuan's guidance was like a cultivation accelerator for Lu Yang, greatly increasing his comprehension speed.

Then he remembered something, and with a flick of his wrist, a delicate little jade bottle appeared in his palm.

The jade bottle was no more than the thickness of a thumb, its body a lustrous white and smooth, and the outline of a pill could be vaguely seen inside.

"This is Beauty-Preserving Pill, it's for you." He casually handed over the jade bottle.
