Peach Blossoms Fall with the Wind, One Sword Levels Qingyun Mountain!

Jiang Cheng was quite interested in the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture as well. He had nearly grown tired of reading other books, so changing things up was not bad.

The sun set at dusk, and the distant mountains were dark as ink.

Jiang Cheng sat in the Huai Shui Bamboo Pavilion, enjoying the pleasures books brought him. In his previous life, he had not actually liked reading, but after coming to this world and awakening the Confucian Saint System, he had gradually become interested in it.

"Clear breeze, bright moon, strangers meeting by chance. Hehe, interesting."

Two boats were tied by the lakeshore, gently bobbing atop the shimmering orange waves.

As the moonlight refracted, a bright moon abruptly emerged as well.

Xiao Yi Xian had already returned to her room to rest. Only the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King and its son remained, sprawled on the ground and eating the Third-order Magical Beast they had just caught. After all, they were Magical Beasts and had a great appetite for flesh and blood.

The Dou Qi cultivated here was several times denser than that of the Outside world, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort. In just a few days, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had broken through to Four-Star Dou Emperor. At this rate, breaking through to the Dou Zong realm was only a Matter of time.

Jiang Cheng shrugged, set down the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture In Hand, rose to his feet, and said with a smile, "Sect Master Yun, you still came."

Light and shadow flashed, and the Misty Cloud Sect Leader, Yun Yun, abruptly appeared.

A beautiful scene paired with a beautiful woman.

It was truly sigh-worthy.

Yun Yun took a deep breath. Clearly, she had been considering this matter for the past few days. For Yanran to successfully win three years from now, she, as her Teacher, had paid far too much.

Now that she had finally found a way to improve Yanran's strength, Yun Yun naturally did not want to miss it. If Yanran failed because of this, she would blame herself for the rest of her life.

Yun Yun carefully removed the pendant from her neck. With reluctance in her eyes, she slowly handed it to Jiang Cheng.

"Mister, this is the pendant you wanted... Where is the Amethyst Spirit Crystal?"

Jiang Cheng accepted the pendant. It still retained some of Yun Yun's Body Temperature and a faint fragrance. Even without bringing it close, he could smell that fresh, youthful scent.

"Mm, it is what I wanted."

Jiang Cheng nodded. With a turn of his right hand, an Amethyst Spirit Crystal appeared in his palm.

"Sect Master Yun, this is the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's Amethyst Spirit Crystal. Take it."

Yun Yun accepted the Amethyst Spirit Crystal and, after confirming it was genuine, clasped her hands in a bow. Just as she was about to leave, Jiang Cheng stopped her.

"Mm?" Yun Yun asked in confusion, "Mister, is there something else?"

Jiang Cheng stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the shimmering lake as he smiled.

"The scenery tonight is as beautiful as a painting. Wouldn't it be a waste of such a fine moment if we did not drink a pot of good wine?"

"But... I cannot drink. I collapse after just one drink..."

"No Matter. Drink in moderation."

Jiang Cheng never took the initiative to drink with others, but it would be such a pity not to drink heartily amid such beautiful scenery. He casually took out two special Porcelain Cups and placed them on the stone table, then brought out a pot of wine, filled them, and drained his cup in one gulp.

Yun Yun stared at the clear Peach Blossom Wine in her cup, unable to decide. But seeing Mister Jiang Cheng drink cup after cup, would refusing to drink not be slighting him?

Yet after she drank it, she felt unbearable heat spread through her entire body. Her face flushed crimson as she gripped the Amethyst Spirit Crystal in her hand. An inexplicable force flooded her limbs and bones. The sensation was like doing that sort of thing, so comfortable that she could not help letting out a soft moan.

Yun Yun covered her mouth in embarrassment, then immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began circulating the Dou Qi within her body.

Jiang Cheng smiled calmly. "Hehe, I forgot to tell you. The Peach Blossom Wine contains my Dou Qi. With your Dou Emperor cultivation, you should benefit greatly from it."

Peach blossoms filled the sky as they fell with the wind; one sword leveled Qingyun Mountain!

Half an hour later, Yun Yun's brows relaxed slightly. She exhaled a breath of pink, turbid air from her Cherry Lips, and her cultivation had already broken through to the Four-Star Dou Emperor realm.

Yun Yun looked at her hands, deeply moved. She had not expected that a single cup of wine would allow her cultivation, which had stagnated for months, to break through...

How inconceivable?

"Awake?"

With one hand behind his back, Jiang Cheng said, "There are only a few people in this life whom I, Jiang Cheng, consider close friends. Since you drank and sang joyfully with me today, you may be considered one of my friends. If you need anything in the future, you may come find me. I will certainly not refuse."

"Thank you, Mister."

Yun Yun clasped her hands in salute, now viewing the man before her in a rather unusual light.

Why would such an Expert appear in the Monster Mountain Range? Could he have some purpose here?

"No need to be polite."

[Random mission initiated: Head to the Xiao Family in Wu Tan City and obtain the key capable of opening Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion. Time limit: three days. Reward: ten Experience Points.]

Just then, a mechanical voice sounded In her mind. Hearing the system prompt, Jiang Cheng became interested. He had not expected this mission to involve the family of the male protagonist, Xiao Yan.

He knew of the Tou She Ancient God Jade. It was the key to opening the secret realm of a Dou Emperor Expert. If he obtained it, the time needed for him to break through to Dou Emperor would be greatly shortened.

Naturally, Jiang Cheng would not refuse anyone who came bearing opportunities. He could not afford to miss a single thing that could improve his strength.

"Sect Master Yun."

"Ah?" Snapping back to her senses, Yun Yun replied in a fluster, "What is it?"

"On another day, I will make a trip to the Xiao Family in Wu Tan City. Do you have time to accompany me?"

"The Xiao Family in Wu Tan City?"

Yun Yun murmured to herself. Was that not the family Nalan Yanran had broken off an engagement with? She asked curiously, "Why are you going to Wu Tan City?"

"For something."

"Something?"

"Mm. You will know once we get there."

Jiang Cheng shrugged. He did not care about the Xiao Family's life or death, but the Tou She Ancient God Jade could not fall into anyone else's hands, or it would become troublesome in the future.

Yun Yun nodded in agreement. Wu Tan City was close to the Misty Cloud Sect anyway, and after the matter was settled, she could return to the Misty Cloud Sect.

The two drank beneath the moon, talked freely about life, and enjoyed themselves immensely.

Neither slept that night.

The next morning, the Golden Rooster Announces Dawn.

Jiang Cheng crouched by the lake, scooped up the icy water in both hands, and casually washed his face before preparing to take Yun Yun to the Xiao Family in Wu Tan City.

Because it was daytime, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was far too massive. Moreover, Xiao Yi Xian was still at home and needed someone to protect her, so he was left behind to take care of the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King and Xiao Yi Xian.

Perhaps because of the wine, Yun Yun's cheeks were especially fair and tender, her skin tinged with a faint blush. Clearly, yesterday had been the first time she had so freely enjoyed drinking and making merry.

"Sect Master Yun, let us depart."

Yun Yun nodded. "Mister, you should call me by my name from now on. Sect Master Yun sounds rather strange when you say it."

"Then shall I call you Miss?"

A trace of crimson appeared on Yun Yun's lovely face. She had never been addressed this way before, yet hearing it from Mister Jiang Cheng gave her a peculiar feeling.
