"Old Madam Wang, what just happened?"
Li Yun had only just lain down, and Wang Wei had barely risen, when a woman who looked twenty-seven or twenty-eight walked into the hall.
She wore a white dress that spoke of purity, spotless as though dust could not touch it.
Her brows curved like distant mountains beneath a willow moon, her eyes shone like pearls rivaling the moonlight.
Her skin was smooth as cream, pale and tender as snow.
Cold and proud, she seemed an immortal banished from the moon palace.
Her beauty was beyond description.
At the sight of her, Old Madam Wang immediately grew respectful. She hurried forward and bowed.
"Greetings, Holy Maiden!"
This woman was the rumored Cloud Immortal Maiden—Yun Huan, one of the Fairy Sect's candidate Holy Maidens.
"Holy Maiden, the man on the floor was lured here by Cao Wenxuan himself. According to Cao Wenxuan, he came to Western Mountain Commandery from elsewhere and may practice extraordinary Cultivation Techniques. His origins seem unusual. He calls himself Lin Zishan, but Cao Wenxuan suspects that name is false."
"So he tricked him into coming to Cloud Immortal Valley."
"Shao Bi personally deceived him into taking a Flame-Burning Pill. He endured a full hundred breaths of burning agony without losing his senses or overstepping any bounds with her."
"His aptitude is truly remarkable."
"While he was unconscious, I personally performed the Immortal Scripture cleansing. It took five full recitations to succeed. Fortunately, the Soul-Loss Drug had sunk deep into his mind. Once the cleansing was complete, I was able to draw out a ninth-rank Female Immortal Divine Aspect from him!"
"That caused the strange phenomena just now..."
"What? You drew out a ninth-rank Female Immortal Divine Aspect?"
Shock spread across Yun Huan's cool face. "Are you certain it's ninth-rank?"
