Innate Spiritual Body

Lu Yi turned to look in the direction of the voice. At a fork in the Entry Peak Assessment Hall stood a young girl.

The girl had black hair tied into two long twin ponytails, big eyes, a cherry-like mouth, a high nose bridge, and cheeks with a hint of baby fat. She was an exceptionally beautiful girl with a sweet, charming air.

What drew the most attention were her eyes. They were not the usual black, but an unusual light violet.

She wore a light purple gown, her cuteness carrying a trace of mystery.

Even Lu Yi could not help but marvel inwardly: This girl is really beautiful. She's the second person I've seen at the very pinnacle of looks. The first was Senior Sister Liu Ningshuang.

Just as Lu Yi was inwardly admiring her, the elders all turned to look at the girl.

A white-haired elder gave a dry laugh. "Ha... hahaha, so it's little Mingyue. Did the Peak Master send you? Does she want to see Lu Yi?"

The elders all looked at the girl hopefully, each of them wishing they had misheard what they had just heard.

The girl smiled, shallow dimples appearing on her cheeks. She nodded. "That's right, Bai Liu Elder. It was the Peak Master's order."

The many elders: "..."

Their expressions instantly froze.

Lu Yi looked at the elders and saw the complicated looks on their faces, as though their most precious possession had been snatched away.

Lu Yi found it a little strange. The Peak Master wanted to see him—could she be planning to take him as her disciple?

Wonderful!

After all, the Drifting Soul Peak Master was known as the most astonishingly gifted genius in the entire history of the White Cloud Sect!

Becoming the disciple of someone that formidable could only be a good thing.

While Lu Yi was feeling a little expectant, the beautiful Nascent Soul elder forced a smile. "Since the Peak Master wishes to see Lu Yi, let our matters wait for now."

Dong Wang Lian also gave a dry laugh and put away the jade flute in his hand. "The Peak Master's business takes priority."

"Indeed, indeed."

"Since that is the case, Lu Yi, you should go."

The elders forced smiles as they stepped aside. Seeing their stiff expressions, as though they were about to cry, Lu Yi felt a little sympathy for them.

It seemed that the biggest boss of Drifting Soul Peak was still the Drifting Soul Peak Master. Even Nascent Soul elders apparently did not have it easy here.

He smiled. "Thank you all for your generous regard. Since the Peak Master has summoned me, I'll go with this Senior Sister first."

Seeing how courteous Lu Yi was, the elders' expressions eased somewhat.

"Go on, go on!"

"Little fellow, what I said before still stands. Even if you do not take me as your master, you may still come ask me about anything concerning the sword path."

"Hahaha! Though this old man cannot pass his exclusive cultivation technique on to you, Lu Yi, if you encounter any problems in cultivation, you may still come find this old man!"

The elders spoke with smiles, and Lu Yi repeatedly thanked them. He thought to himself that Drifting Soul Peak truly had many good people. He liked a place like this.

Lu Yi came before the twin-tailed girl. She said, "Junior Brother Lu Yi, let's go."

Lu Yi smiled. "I'll have to trouble Senior Sister to lead the way."

"It is the Peak Master's order, so it's no trouble." The twin-tailed girl said this, then turned and headed back along the fork toward the stone steps.

As Lu Yi and the twin-tailed girl left, the elders were struck by a wave of heartache.

The beautiful elder let out a faint sigh. "Sigh... why didn't the Peak Master leave even one genius for us?"

"Exactly. She already has two Innate Spiritual Bodies, Liu Ningshuang and Donggong Mingyue..." Dong Wang Lian also wore a resentful expression, looking as though he had been wronged.

"Enough, stop talking about it. It is also a good thing that Lu Yi has caught the Peak Master's eye. To be honest, with Lu Yi's comprehension, there is not much we can teach him anyway. Following the Peak Master, his achievements will certainly be even greater." An elderly elder shook his head as he spoke.

The elders fell silent and said no more.

They also knew that the elder was speaking the truth.

"Let's go, let's go back."

The elders listlessly turned into streaks of light and vanished.

When the disciples saw the elders leave and realized there was no more spectacle to watch, they did not linger either.

"Let's go back and cultivate!"

"Damn it, Drifting Soul Peak has another monster now. This damned place is getting harder and harder to survive in! I used to count as a genius too..."

"What nonsense are you talking?! Which one of us here isn't a genius?"

"Yeah, hurry back and cultivate hard. At the very least, don't let that monster Junior Brother Lu Yi catch up to you too quickly."

"From now on, cancel that hour of entertainment and use it to circulate our cultivation techniques!"

"Fuck! Are you even human?! If that's how it is, then I'll have to spend more time comprehending spells too."

"...So that's how you want to play it?! Then I can only cultivate like my life depends on it too."

The disciples left amid curses and grumbling, secretly planning to cultivate even more frantically.

On the mountain path, Lu Yi followed the twin-tailed Senior Sister as they slowly climbed higher.

Along the way, the twin-tailed Senior Sister turned to study Lu Yi and spoke with a smile. "My name is Donggong Mingyue. You're Lu Yi, right? So many elders wanted to take you as their disciple. Your talent must be pretty good, huh?"

"So it's Senior Sister Donggong." Lu Yi spoke somewhat modestly. "This Junior Brother's talent is probably passable? Mainly, the elders think too highly of me. Senior Sister's talent must be extremely high as well, right?"

Upon hearing this, Donggong Mingyue's lips curled upward. A trace of pride appeared on her little face as she slightly raised her chin. "Of course! This young lady has an Innate Thunder Spiritual Body! Like Senior Sister Ningshuang, I'm an Innate Spiritual Body. In the future, I'm certain to become an unrivaled powerhouse!"

"Innate Thunder Spiritual Body?!" Lu Yi's eyes widened slightly as he looked at Donggong Mingyue in surprise.

He was genuinely shocked.

In this world, all living beings were not born equal.

Some possessed the talent to cultivate, while some could only be mortals from birth.

Even among those with cultivation talent, their aptitudes differed.

The most gifted of all were naturally cultivators with special physiques and talents. They were the true heavens-chosen.

Innate Spiritual Bodies were exceptionally powerful and renowned special physiques throughout the entire cultivation world!

So long as nothing unexpected happened, people like this would certainly reach the Void Realm in the future. If they encountered great opportunities, even reaching Body Integration, Mahayana, or perhaps even Tribulation Transcendence to Immortality was not impossible!

There had been rumors that Liu Ningshuang possessed an Innate Ice Spirit Body, though they had never been confirmed. Lu Yi had not expected that even this little Senior Sister was an Innate Spiritual Body!

This was what a true genius was.

Lu Yi admitted that he was a little envious. His own talent was utterly ordinary.

Lu Yi said enviously, "I didn't expect Senior Sister Donggong's talent to be so good. Is Senior Sister also a disciple of the Drifting Soul Peak Master?"

Lu Yi was a little puzzled. If the Drifting Soul Peak Master accepted a disciple, it would be a major event. When the Drifting Soul Peak Master accepted Liu Ningshuang as her disciple, everyone in the White Cloud Sect had known about it. Yet why had he never heard that the Drifting Soul Peak Master had taken a second disciple?

At those words, Donggong Mingyue's smile stiffened. She said in distress, "How could it be so easy? The Peak Master has special conditions for accepting disciples. I still haven't met them."
