Out of hundreds of high peaks, there were naturally some unclaimed ones. The high-level members of Yuanshan Sect with status and positions could easily take over these unclaimed peaks and turn them into their own “Peak Land.”

With status and strength, it was only natural to enjoy such privileges.

Similarly, without status or strength, no one would venture here, for fear of being discovered and summarily executed.

As the Junior Sect Master of Yuanshan Sect, Yang Chen naturally wouldn’t hold back from claiming a peak. He and Ruan Yunqing arrived at the peak, and at first glance, it was overgrown with weeds. But the spiritual energy was indeed abundant. With some renovations, it would undoubtedly become a paradise!

“Senior Sister Ruan, what’s the name of this peak?” Yang Chen asked curiously.

“Young Sect Master, this peak is named Feitian Peak!” Ruan Yunqing replied respectfully.

“Oh?” Yang Chen raised an eyebrow, planning secretly in his heart.

Ruan Yunqing, afraid of offending Yang Chen, hurriedly said, “Young Master, please follow me. There is a Cave Mansion on this Feitian Peak.”

“Oh? Show me.” Yang Chen followed with his hands behind his back.

In the blink of an eye, their view changed, and Yang Chen and Ruan Yunqing arrived at a Cave Mansion on Feitian Peak. The cave was neat and orderly, with a stone table and stone chairs, quite spacious. However, the surroundings were covered in dust, indicating that it had been unoccupied for a long time.

This made Yang Chen ask, “Has someone lived here before?”

“Responding to Young Sect Master, a Supreme Elder once resided in Feitian Peak. After the Supreme Elder passed away, Feitian Peak became an unclaimed peak.” Ruan Yunqing timidly explained. Her delicate expression was genuinely endearing.

Yang Chen stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the cave mansion with a plethora of thoughts in his mind, and then his eyes were directly fixed on Ruan Yunqing.

Ruan Yunqing blushed and posed herself in a way that seemed like she was willing to offer herself to Yang Chen at any time.

Yang Chen did not react at all, and Ruan Yunqing hastily took a teacup from her storage bag, pouring tea right in front of Yang Chen. She then spoke gently, “Young Sect Master, these tea leaves are personally planted within the sect, and having a cup will provide some aid to your cultivation. Yunqing has no other talents, so I’ll just make a cup of tea for you.”

“Thanks.” Yang Chen waved his hand, “Ruan Yunqing, you may go now.”

“Young Sect Master, do you need Yunqing to do anything else for you?” Ruan Yunqing asked disappointingly.

Yang Chen slowly replied, “If I need something, I’ll ask for your help again.”

“Thank you so much, Young Sect Master.” Ruan Yunqing said excitedly.

After saying that, Ruan Yunqing picked up her skirt and gracefully left, looking harmless like a pure and innocent girl. But as she turned her face away, there was a flash of unusual emotion in her eyes.

Yang Chen indeed did not notice Ruan Yunqing’s hidden thoughts, but as he played with the tea in his hand and watched Ruan Yunqing leave, the corner of his mouth curled up with a meaningful smile.

Since he considered Ruan Yunqing as his guide, Yang Chen believed there was something extraordinary about her.

In reality, she was indeed extraordinary.

In what way?

Holding the tea, Yang Chen carefully examined it and muttered to himself, “Although this tea appears ordinary, it should provide some assistance in improving cultivation as Ruan Yunqing claims. How much does she want me to drink it? Apparently, she poured me an indifferent cup of tea, seemingly quite ordinary…” 𝑓𝘳ℯℯ𝔀ℯ𝓫𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓵.𝘤𝘰𝓶

Yang Chen had absolute confidence in his judgment.

Although he was not well-versed in tea, the tea was brewed with spiritual herbs and materials. In his previous life, he was familiar with the effects of such ingredients when refining pills and practicing medicine. As soon as he smelled the scent of the tea, Yang Chen knew the materials used to brew it.

The tea brewed with these materials did no harm to the human body. However, to say it helped improve martial arts cultivation was an overstatement.

“This tea is merely an ordinary cup that clears the ears and eyes, but Ruan Yunqing insists on its mysterious effects in improving martial arts cultivation. What’s her intention? The tea seems harmless at first glance.” Yang Chen sighed and thought of a poison that required the soul to detect.

With that in mind, Yang Chen called out, “Rainbow, come and help!”

“Young Master, I’m here.” Rainbow poked her head out from the Eight Extremities Flowing River, her big eyes rolling as she asked curiously, “Young Master, what happened?”

“Simple, help me use your soul to examine this cup of tea and see if there is any hidden trick inside!” Yang Chen shrugged.

Upon hearing this, Rainbow did not hesitate. Staring at the cup of tea, she used her spiritual consciousness to investigate.

After the investigation, Rainbow quickly came to a conclusion, covering her mouth and exclaiming, “Young Master, the person who poured this tea has bad intentions! Inside the tea, there’s a hidden red bug. If one doesn’t use a high-density soul to examine it, it’s challenging to see the red bug wriggling in the tea! This bug is disgusting, utterly disgusting.”

“A Fragrant Sleep Gu Worm?” Yang Chen furrowed his brows as soon as he heard the general appearance of the bug.

“Fragrant Sleep Gu Worm? What’s that?” Rainbow was puzzled.

Being a member of the Fishpeople Tribe, she had extensive experience and vast inherited knowledge, but not omniscient. Coupled with Rainbow’s partially awakened memories, she couldn’t know about the insidious Gu Worm with her naive and unworldly personality.

Yang Chen slowly explained, “This Gu Worm is colorless, tasteless, and undetectable by human sight. It cannot be detected through the senses of smell or hearing either. It is perfect for slipping into tea, making people drink it unknowingly without a highly refined soul to observe. Otherwise, it’s difficult to discover any tricks!”

“What happens if this Gu Worm is ingested?” Rainbow asked curiously.

Yang Chen sighed, “It’s severe. This Fragrant Sleep Gu Worm has a unique effect of devouring spiritual energy. When it’s in your body, the spiritual energy you absorb will be consumed by it before it can be converted into True Qi. If you fail to detect the presence of this Gu Worm, your martial arts cultivation won’t progress for hundreds of years.”

Rainbow, although na?ve and innocent, was not stupid. Realizing the implications, she exclaimed, “Young Master, someone is trying to harm you!”
