NOVPUBThinking of these, Wang Ba tasked Bu Chan and Wang Yi’an with bringing back Wang Qingyang.
He himself commanded the Flying Shuttle and flew straight into the midst of the ten thousand peaks.
Soon after, he stopped in front of a mountain with two peaks winding around each other.
He then slightly raised his hand and said in a deep voice,
"Wang Ba of Wanfa Peak seeks an audience with the peak master of Hehuan Peak."
As his voice fell, 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
shortly after, several figures flew out from between the two peaks.
Among them were beautiful female Cultivators and handsome male Cultivators.
Leading them was a middle-aged beauty, clad in a palace dress, her head adorned with a phoenix crown.
Upon seeing Wang Ba, she immediately revealed a smile laden with charm,
"Hehuan Peak’s Yan Cai’er greets Junior Brother Wang."
Junior Brother?
A thought flickered in Wang Ba’s mind.
He then showed a smile,
"Greetings to Elder Sister Yan, may I inquire who is the... peak master of your esteemed peak?"
Yan Cai’er said with a chuckling smile,
"I’m afraid I will disappoint you, Junior Brother. Yan Cai’er, though lacking in many respects, is the peak master of Hehuan Peak."
Wang Ba’s face showed his astonishment, which soon turned to a series of self-deprecating remarks,
"Elder Sister Yan, forgive my ignorance. Wang Ba has failed to recognize a great person and has truly made a fool of himself."
"What crime is there to speak of, Brother? We should be thanking Junior Brother for saving Martial Nephew Liu."
"Yes, many thanks to Junior Brother Wang!"
The surrounding male and female Cultivators all chimed in.
Wang Ba was taken aback, but quickly realized who they referred to as ’Martial Nephew Liu’—it was Liu Lan, the one previously captured by Fanming.
He humbly offered a few modest words before quickly getting to the point, saying earnestly,
"Without concealing anything from Elder Sister Yan, I have come to study the Dao of Yin and Yang Creation of your esteemed peak. I wonder what are Elder Sister Yan’s thoughts on this matter?"
"Study the Yin and Yang Fortune?"
Yan Cai’er’s words came with slightly parted red lips, seemingly a bit astonished.
However, she soon laughed,
"For Junior Brother to value the cultivation method of our Hehuan Peak so highly is indeed a fortunate matter for us."
As she spoke, her fair hand suddenly tapped her white, translucent forehead,
"Look at me; I nearly made Junior Brother wait out here. Hurry! Let’s have some tea first before we talk."
Wang Ba couldn’t refuse and followed them flying up to Hehuan Peak.
Much to Wang Ba’s surprise, the buildings on Hehuan Peak were very simple, without a hint of luxury or indulgent decorations—far different from what he had initially imagined.
And as Yan Cai’er walked, she pointed to the two peaks below,
"Our Hehuan Peak is divided into Yang Peak and Yin Peak. Male Cultivators live on Yang Peak, and female Cultivators reside on Yin Peak; they do not live together."
Wang Ba heard this and couldn’t help being a bit curious.
Then how is dual cultivation conducted?
Yet such direct questioning, considering the other party was a female Cultivator, seemed inappropriate—as if some lecherous man was making unwanted advances.
Although Wang Ba was too embarrassed to ask, Yan Cai’er took the initiative to say,
"Does Junior Brother think that our Hehuan Peak seems to contradict the rumors you’ve heard?"
Wang Ba just smiled.
In truth, he had not heard any rumors; he had simply formed his own judgment based on the name of the peak.
After all, the name didn’t sound very respectable.
If it weren’t for his master’s mention, he would’ve thought Hehuan Peak to be a place of ill repute.
But now, it seemed that it was not as he had envisioned.
This made him curious to know what the cultivation method of Hehuan Peak was really like.
Yet Yan Cai’er shook her head and said,
"If Junior Brother doesn’t say it, I suppose you must think so."
"In reality, our Hehuan Peak isn’t much different from the other major peaks within the Sect; we all draw in external Spiritual Energy for our Cultivation."
"It’s just that our method is what is called ’plucking Yin to nurture Yang’."
"Plucking Yin to nurture Yang?"
Wang Ba’s ears pricked up.
He had always been a man of integrity; such a Cultivation Method that goes against human relations would surely need to be closely examined and criticized.
However, the principles of the Cultivation Method of Hehuan Peak that Yan Cai’er then revealed left him greatly disappointed—or rather, pleasantly surprised…
