Battle Through the Heavens: Beauties Abound Starting with Yunlan and Her Disciples

212: Section 212Just as Yun Xiancheng was struggling to concentrate, preparing to refine the elixir again, Medicine Lady, who was curled up in his Sea of Consciousness, began to stir restlessly with a somewhat vengeful intent.

In her soul form, she gently teased and touched him within his Sea of Consciousness, using the most direct form of spiritual communication to transmit all sorts of sensations that made him blush and lose his focus.

No! It should be said that Medicine Lady had actually discovered a brand new way to play.

Her soul was intertwined with his own soul—a brand new experience that brought even more stimulating sensations to both explorers. Yun Xiancheng panted heavily, and the flush on his face had not faded in the slightest.

Seeing this, Yun Ziyi walked around behind Yun Xiancheng, stretched out that pair of fair, beautiful jade feet, wrapped them around Yun Xiancheng’s waist, and rested them upon...

This was simply being besieged from both within and without!

Outside, there was the oppressive and seductive ”supervision” of Yun Ziyi; inside, there was that tormenting little enchantress, Medicine Lady, constantly carrying out mental ”harassment.” Yun Xiancheng only felt an unbearable heat throughout his body, with both his soul and flesh enduring immense stimulation.

He gritted his teeth, the veins on his forehead bulging, struggling to control the flames and refine the medicinal herbs... His mental energy was highly concentrated, yet constantly disrupted by those amorous thoughts.

”Pfft—” With a momentary lapse in attention, the flames went out of control, and a medicinal herb instantly turned to ash.

”Hmph, it seems someone’s self-control isn’t all that great,” Yun Ziyi said coolly from the side, a hint of a smile playing on her lips as if watching a show.

Her feet did not stop moving for a second, and her hands also began to wander, resting on Yun Xiancheng’s chest. Yun Xiancheng took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and threw himself back into the refinement process.

This time, he simply treated the ”harassment” from Medicine Lady and Yun Ziyi as a form of alternative ”cultivation,” honing his state of mind and control under extreme stimulation and interference.

Time passed second by second, and Yun Xiancheng was drenched in sweat, his face looking somewhat pale due to the high consumption of mental energy. However, his eyes were becoming brighter and more focused.

Seeing him like this, Yun Ziyi gently embraced Yun Xiancheng and stopped provoking him with words.

Of course, the stimulation from her feet did not stop; after all, perhaps Xiancheng had entered a certain balance at this moment, and if it were to stop and the balance were broken, it would be hard to say what might happen. Finally, after another precarious fusion, a crisp ringing sound came from within the Medicine Cauldron, and a First-Grade Elixir—though not perfect, its color and medicinal fragrance far exceeded the previous one—slowly took form!

”Hoo—” Yun Xiancheng exhaled a heavy breath, feeling as if his entire being was about to collapse from exhaustion.

”Hmm, it’s passable.” Yun Ziyi walked forward, examined the elixir, and nodded, considering his efforts acknowledged. However, her next action made Yun Xiancheng’s just-relaxed nerves tense up once again.

Yun Ziyi leaned down, placing her hands on either side of his body, her beautiful purple eyes gazing at him from close range, her breath as fragrant as orchids: ”Since you have finished your pre-class assignment, then next...”

She slowly sat down.

”...it is my turn to personally guide you on how to adjust your ’essence, energy, and spirit’ before alchemy to the optimal state.”

At the same time, deep within Yun Xiancheng’s Sea of Consciousness, the ever-mischievous Medicine Lady seemed to sense the changes in the outside world and had finally found a certain knack for it.

She took the initiative to begin a deeper... intertwining and resonance with Yun Xiancheng’s body in her soul form.

This situation made Yun Xiancheng feel a dual, special sensation. On one hand, it was his body; on the other, it was his soul.

In the world of cultivation, he experienced a brand new cultivation experience, causing his soul to tremble uncontrollably.

At the same time, Yun Xiancheng’s soul also actively wrapped around Medicine Lady, with him as the main subject of the soul intertwining, together composing a movement of souls. Meanwhile, Heavenly Lion had already entered the state, leaning down to kiss Yun Xiancheng’s lips.

For a time, in the room, Yun Xiancheng was caught in the middle, enduring the dual, ultimate ”guidance” and ”cultivation” from both soul and flesh.

122 Are the Blackrock City twins my fangirls?

The next morning, in front of the Blackrock City Alchemist Guild.

Standing once again before this solemn and dignified building, Yun Xiancheng, having experienced a night of ”special guidance,” no longer showed the awkwardness of the previous day, but instead possessed a bit more composure and confidence.

He was quite confident about obtaining the First-Rank Alchemist badge that symbolized his status.

This badge itself might not have much practical use, but just like some college students in his past life who were keen on getting certifications in their spare time, since he had mastered the skill, it wouldn’t hurt to get the certification while he was at it.

Yun Ziyi stood elegantly beside Yun Xiancheng, her jade hand gently holding the well-behaved little Yun Yan.

Through her veil, she glanced at Yun Xiancheng with those deep purple eyes, her tone carrying a hint of imperceptible warning: ”If you lose face during today’s grading, I will have to have a serious talk with you about last night.”

She was referring, of course, to the fact that last night Yun Xiancheng was not 100% focused on ”alchemy preparation” and ran off to play with her halfway through.

”How could that be?” Yun Xiancheng said upon hearing this, a confident smile curling the corners of his mouth. ”A mere First-Grade Elixir assessment is already within my grasp.”

Today was the day of the Alchemist grading, and the area in front of the guild was noticeably livelier than yesterday.

However, most of the people in the crowd were just there to watch, and the number of Alchemist apprentices actually coming to participate in the grading was not very high.

Just then, a young lady wearing luxurious clothes and having dazzling golden hair, surrounded by a group of maidservants, walked gracefully to the entrance of the guild.

Her gaze habitually swept over the surrounding crowd, but inadvertently landed on Yun Xiancheng and his group, who were chatting in low voices.

The young lady’s movements came to a sudden halt, and she rubbed her pretty eyes in surprise, as if confirming that she wasn’t seeing things.

The next moment, an irrepressible glow of excitement bloomed on her face, and she lifted her skirt, walking over quickly in a rush, her voice carrying a hint of excitement and uncertainty:

She arrived in front of Yun Xiancheng, raised her small face, eyes sparkling with worship, and asked cautiously: ”Are... are you Young Master Yun of the Cloud Mist Sect?”

”Xiancheng, an acquaintance?” Yun Ziyi tilted her head and asked in a flat tone, though her purple eyes were calmly sizing up the golden-haired young lady before her, and then she added bluntly: ”This girl looks quite nice, could it be... she is also one of your wives?”

Yun Ziyi’s earth-shattering words instantly made the excited golden-haired young lady blush furiously. She hurriedly waved her hands, explaining in a panic: ”No... that’s not it! Senior, you’ve misunderstood! I... my name is Lin Fei, and I am a disciple of Master Otto in this city; he is a Fourth-Grade Alchemist.”

”Young Master Yun is... is my idol! If... if you don’t mind, I can take Young Master Yun and the seniors to tour the inside of the guild.”

Yun Xiancheng had an impression of the name Lin Fei, but that was from his past life’s memories; he was certain that he had not formally met her in this life.

However, judging by her excited appearance, it was clear she knew him. ”You know me?” Yun Xiancheng asked with slight curiosity.

”Of course I do! You are the Young Sect Master of Yunlan Sect, the personal disciple of Sect Leader Yun; in the Jia Ma Empire, who doesn’t know of you, who hasn’t heard of you!”

Lin Fei’s tone was excited, as if she were stating something that was a matter of course: ”Your deeds are the examples that we, the younger generation of Alchemists and cultivators, vie to praise!”

Hearing this, Yun Xiancheng suddenly realized. It seemed he still lacked a bit of self-awareness as a ”celebrity.”

It was also because he had been training in a small, relatively isolated place like Qingshan Town, which made him mistakenly believe he had no fame.

However, this was fine too; having an enthusiastic ”fan” to lead the way would save him quite a bit of trouble. ”I see, then I shall trouble you, Miss Lin Fei.” Yun Xiancheng smiled warmly and nodded in agreement.

Seeing her idol agree, Lin Fei was so excited that her eyes lit up. She hurriedly turned to lead the way, saying enthusiastically: ”This way, please, this way! Young Master Yun and the seniors, follow me. We will take the VIP passage and not squeeze in with those ordinary people!”

Following Lin Fei through twists and turns, passing through several quiet corridors, they indeed arrived at an area far from the noise, with a quiet environment, where high-spec alchemy rooms were arranged one after another.

The door to one of the alchemy rooms was open, and inside stood a young lady wearing a simple, elegant white dress, with a cold and aloof temperament.

She had long hair as white as snow, skin like snow, and was extremely beautiful, though there was a hint of cold aloofness between her brows that kept people at a distance.

Hearing footsteps, the snow-haired young lady turned around. Her cold gaze first landed on Lin Fei, and she habitually frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with her boisterousness.

However, when her gaze passed over Lin Fei and noticed the tall, well-built man with an outstanding temperament following behind her, she couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.

Based on her understanding of Lin Fei, when had this girl ever been seen with a member of the opposite sex? This was not normal, so she could not help but carefully size up Yun Xiancheng’s appearance.

Upon this look, the snow-haired girl’s cold expression melted like ice and snow in early spring. She was slightly stunned, and then, a faint, imperceptible smile quietly crept up the corners of her lips.

The next moment, unexpectedly, this typically cold snow-haired girl imitated Lin Fei’s earlier actions. Lifting her skirt, she trotted over to Yun Xiancheng. A faint flush flew across her fair cheeks, and her voice carried a hint of nervousness and shyness: ”H-hello, I… I am called Snow Charm.”

”Miss Snow Charm, hello.” Yun Xiancheng looked at the uniquely tempered snow-haired girl before him and returned a gentle smile.

It seemed that his title of ”Young Sect Master of Yunlan Sect” really did carry quite a bit of influence within the circle of the younger generation of the Jia Ma Empire.

”Young Master Yun! A-are you also here to participate in the Alchemist evaluation?” Lin Fei asked, unable to suppress her excitement, her large, bright eyes gazing at Yun Xiancheng.

Yun Xiancheng nodded. ”That is correct. I intend to obtain the First-Rank Alchemist badge, and incidentally…” He turned slightly, gesturing to Xiao Yan beside him, ”…my junior sister here will also be participating in the evaluation.”

Only then did the gazes of Lin Fei and Snow Charm notice Xiao Yan, who had been standing quietly beside Yun Xiancheng.

When they clearly saw Xiao Yan’s face—which was equally stunning yet carried a touch of cold, distant temperament—a flash of amazement passed through their eyes.

”Wow! This sister is also so beautiful!” Lin Fei couldn’t help but exclaim, then as if remembering something, she realized: ”You… you must be that legendary Senior Sister Xiao Yan, the third personal disciple whom Sect Leader Yun accepted as an exception?!”

Snow Charm also nodded slightly, a trace of approval and curiosity flowing in her cold eyes: ”I have long heard that the Cloud Mist Sect had a newly promoted female disciple with outstanding talent. Seeing you today, you truly have an extraordinary bearing, with a cold temperament like the moon. Standing with Young Master Yun, you are truly… truly a match made in heaven.”

Hearing the unreserved praise from these two Young ladies, especially Snow Charm’s words of ”match made in heaven,” even the cold-natured Xiao Yan couldn’t help but feel a slight heat on her face.

Her iceberg-like temperament unconsciously softened a few degrees, and a faint, almost imperceptible smile even curled at the corners of her lips.

She thought to herself: Senior Brother’s taste is indeed good. These two young girls are not only lovely in appearance but also speak so pleasantly; they are truly understanding.

Hmm… perhaps, she should have Senior Brother consider taking these two lovely girls, who know how to appreciate ”inner beauty,” into his harem as well to enrich the ranks of the sisters.

Xiao Yan thinking of her Senior Brother in this way was truly moving.

”You two flatter me.” Xiao Yan nodded slightly, by way of response.

”Senior Sister Xiao Yan, you are too humble!” Lin Fei immediately refuted, ”You will definitely be able to pass the evaluation successfully.”

Being complimented so sincerely by girls of roughly the same age, Xiao Yan felt incredibly comforted, and her gaze toward them softened much more.

”Yo, I say, you two old rivals, did the sun rise from the west today? How did you end up together?”

Just as Lin Fei and Snow Charm were chattering around Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan, a slightly teasing voice rang out.

Two old men wearing Alchemist robes, with dazzling Fourth-Grade Alchemist badges hanging on their chests, walked out of the guild side by side. It was none other than Lin Fei and Snow Charm’s respective mentors—Otto and Frank.

They had originally come out to check the situation of today’s evaluation, but at a glance, they noticed Yun Xiancheng, who was surrounded by his two proud disciples and several other extraordinary people like stars around the moon.

”Oh? So it is the Young Sect Master of Yunlan Sect who has graced us with his presence. Forgive my lack of welcome.”

The two Fourth-Grade Alchemists exchanged a glance, both seeing a trace of surprise in each other’s eyes, and then hurriedly stepped forward, bowing to Yun Xiancheng with complete etiquette.

”Two Masters, you are too kind.”

Yun Xiancheng also returned the bow with a perfectly gentle smile on his face, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.

”I am Yun Xiancheng. I have come this time, firstly for myself, and secondly to bring my junior sister, Xiao Yan, to participate in the Alchemist evaluation together. If we are fortunate enough to pass in the future, we will be considered colleagues with the two Masters in the Alchemist Guild.”

This speech was airtight; it stated his purpose while also bridging the relationship, fully displaying the mature and sophisticated social skills of the Young Sect Master of Yunlan Sect.

”So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is! Young Sect Master Yun and Miss Xiao Yan are young and promising; you are truly the future stars of the alchemy world of our Jia Ma Empire! Please, come this way, the evaluation area is this way!”

The two Fourth-Grade Alchemists were also old foxes, immediately piling smiles on their faces, spouting pleasantries, and enthusiastically leading them toward the evaluation area.

Heh, the world of adults is sometimes just so full of hypocrisy and pleasantries. However, the simple-minded young girls didn’t have so many twists and turns.

Lin Fei was still looking at Yun Xiancheng with admiration, saying confidently: ”Young Master Yun, with your talent and strength, the first place in this evaluation will definitely belong to you!”

Young girls are always prone to having almost blind, unrealistic fantasies about their idols.

Yun Xiancheng had just finished dealing with the two Masters when he heard Lin Fei’s almost excessive flattery. He couldn’t help but smile and hurriedly waved his hand to explain: ”Miss Lin Fei, you overpraise me; please do not flatter me so. If we are talking about alchemy talent, I am dull; I am afraid I really might not be able to compare to you and Miss Snow Charm.”

This was not entirely false humility; Yun Xiancheng was quite self-aware of his own capabilities. If it weren’t for the Medicine Lady, that great deity, his alchemy path would likely have been extremely bumpy.

”Consider yourself to have a little self-awareness, kid.” The Medicine Lady’s lazy voice rang out in Yun Xiancheng’s soul Sea of Consciousness, carrying a hint of imperceptible laughter.

”Hmph, in the end, you practicing alchemy like this at the last minute, isn’t it just to please your master, me?”

The Medicine Lady reacted belatedly, her tone carrying a hint of little arrogance, yet it was also somewhat listless; clearly, last night’s ”in-depth exchange” had consumed her quite a bit.

”That’s right! Master is wise! Everything this disciple does is for Master!” Yun Xiancheng decisively used sweet words in his soul, coaxing the Medicine Lady until she was overjoyed.

”Hmph… c-consider yourself sensible.” The Medicine Lady gave a coquettish snort and said no more, seemingly tacitly accepting this explanation.

Just as Yun Xiancheng was having a ”soul conversation” with the Medicine Lady that no one else could perceive, and was slightly distracted, Xiao Yan quietly leaned to his ear and reminded him in an extremely low voice: ”Senior Brother, I see these two younger sisters are innocent and lively, their natures are also well-behaved, and they speak pleasantly. They are truly rare companions; you must not miss this.”

”Mm, mm.” Yun Xiancheng nodded absentmindedly, noncommittally.

Although even if Xiao Yan hadn’t reminded him, given his nature, he wouldn’t easily let go of any young girl who caught his eye.

However, he was a bit curious as to why the typically cold Xiao Yan would show such extraordinary enthusiasm toward Lin Fei and Snow Charm, whom she was meeting for the first time. She was practically treating them as future good sisters already.

Beside them, Yun Ziyi took in Xiao Yan’s little actions and Yun Xiancheng’s reaction. Through her veil, she touched her smooth chin with great interest, a flash of understanding and playfulness passing through her beautiful purple eyes.

As for little Yun Yan, she stood there like a quiet porcelain doll the whole time.

Although she had already begun to vaguely understand many things, in a strange environment and in front of strangers, she was still not very willing to speak. She just obediently and silently held her mother’s hand, her pair of pure, large purple eyes always following Yun Xiancheng’s figure without leaving an inch.

Led by the two Masters, the group soon arrived at the alchemy room specially used for evaluation.

The evaluation process was not complicated; for a First-Rank Alchemist, it mainly involved testing soul perception, fire control ability, and successfully refining a designated First-Grade Elixir.

Yun Xiancheng stepped forward first. The soul perception test was easy for him; that thick soul power, which far exceeded that of cultivators of the same rank, made the Alchemist in charge of the test secretly startled.

The subsequent fire control segment caught the attention of the two Masters, Frank and Otto.

They were shocked to discover that Yun Xiancheng was not a possessor of fire-attribute Dou Qi, but he was actually able to rely on exquisite Dou Qi control techniques to condense the wind elements in the air, turning them into a pale cyan, temperature-controllable ”Wind Fire”!

”Condensing wind into fire?! This… how is this possible?!” Master Frank exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.

Master Otto’s pupils also shrank, staring fixedly at the jumping cyan flame in Yun Xiancheng’s hand.
