Chapter 6: Mask Applied

"Senior Brother Quan Muting, I advise you not to be too complacent. This time, you only narrowly defeated me by half a move relying on your Magic Treasure. I will definitely settle this humiliation another day!" Senior Brother Wusun Hapi knew he could not stay here any longer, lest he be made a laughingstock by the other Disciples.

He hurriedly took his four lackeys and made a quick getaway.

"Then I shall await Junior Brother Wusun's challenge." Senior Brother Quan Muting appeared extremely indifferent; it was evident that she had not even used her full strength just now.

"Senior Brother Quan Muting is so handsome… I want to have your children…"

"Why don't you take a look in the mirror? Look at your face; even the dogs on the side of the road would…"

"…"

The group of female Disciples began to bicker again.

Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Quan Muting teleported directly in front of Bing Cheng, extended her fair, jade-like hand, and said politely.

"I wonder if Junior Sister would do me the honor of joining me for dinner?"

Bing Cheng was stunned, and the surrounding Cultivators were also stunned.

It was one thing for Senior Sister Dongfang He to be interested in Bing Cheng just now; at least that was only a small portion of people who liked cross-dressing men like Senior Sister Dongfang He. But Senior Brother Quan Muting was different.

Almost all the female Disciples in the Lower Academy admired her.

Her powerful strength, such a handsome face, and such a wonderful personality.

She was exactly what one would imagine as their dream lover.

Bing Cheng felt many murderous gazes fixed upon her, and goosebumps broke out all over her body again.

"Um… Senior Brother Quan Muting… I am still quite young… I cannot yet…" Bing Cheng let out a dry laugh.

"Senior Brother Quan Muting, are you looking for a beating? This is a Disciple of our Alchemy Pavilion." Senior Sister Dongfang He teleported and blocked the way in front of Bing Cheng.

Suddenly, Bing Cheng felt that those murderous gazes had increased by quite a few.

"Damn it, it would be better to just face Senior Brother Wusun Hapi! Although I know I am extremely beautiful right now, you all don't have to be like this…" Bing Cheng thought to herself.

Bing Cheng did not know that her Charm Technique, after such a long time of arduous training, was about to reach the pinnacle, affecting those around her at every moment.

Coupled with the beauty brought about by the Mysterious Female Cultivator, there were truly not many people who could hold themselves back.

It went without saying for these two playboys.

"Junior Sister, I think it would be better if you covered your face." Han Li transmitted his voice at this moment.

Bing Cheng's face darkened. Does she have to wear a mask everywhere she goes? Fortunately, she was prepared, and she had always carried a mask Magic Treasure with her.

"Many thanks for the reminder, Senior Brother." Since there was nothing left for her to do here, Bing Cheng teleported away.

After teleporting a few times, she put on the mask Magic Treasure, which made her feel a little more at ease.

Not long after returning to her residence.

The door to her residence was knocked upon.

Bing Cheng probed with her Divine Sense and, upon discovering it was Han Li, breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought those two playboys had found out where her residence was.

"Senior Brother Han Li, I wonder what brings you here?" Bing Cheng welcomed Han Li inside.

"Since you have joined the Alchemy Pavilion, Junior Sister, you must be an outstanding Alchemist. I currently need some Medicinal Pills for my Cultivation. Would it be possible to exchange some with you? Rest assured, I will exchange them with resources of equal value." Han Li scratched his head in embarrassment.

Bing Cheng thought for a moment. She only had Immortal-grade Medicinal Pills right now, and she certainly couldn't take out all of them. However, she happened to need to refine Medicinal Pills for He Ruoxi anyway, and she couldn't expose her own Alchemy attainments. It would be a good choice to refine some top-grade Medicinal Pills and exchange them with Han Li.

Han Li had helped her a few times; although it was just reminders, they were great helps. Bing Cheng had originally intended to help him.

She felt that Han Li was someone truly worth getting to know.

"Senior Brother, I don't have any spare Medicinal Pills on me right now, but I will be starting the furnace to perform Alchemy in these next few days. I wonder if you could wait a few days?" Bing Cheng said.

Han Li was overjoyed upon hearing this. "Then many thanks, Junior Sister!"

The two chatted for a while longer, and then Han Li stood up to take his leave.

Bing Cheng felt that He Ruoxi and Bing Ranxue should be settled in by now, so she sent them a voice transmission.

Perhaps the distance was too great; the voice transmission could not reach them.

Neither of them replied.

She had no choice but to take out a voice transmission talisman, and this time she was able to contact them both.

"How are you both doing now?" Bing Cheng spoke with both of them at the same time.

"Sister Cheng, it's so boring on my side. Everyone on this mountain peak has a Clear Dao Heart; they only know how to Cultivate, and no one is here to play with me." He Ruoxi said, resting her chin on her hand in boredom.

"All the Disciples on the peak have a Clear Dao Heart? Do they all possess a Seven-Colored Exquisite Heart like you?" Bing Cheng also felt a bit surprised. Could it be that in the Taixuan Sect, special Physiques had reached the terrifying level of being everywhere?

"No… most of them achieved the Acquired Clear Dao Heart body through some Opportunity." He Ruoxi explained.

Bing Cheng felt relieved upon hearing this. Special Physiques are divided into Innate and Acquired. Acquired special Physiques can be achieved through many means, but their effects certainly cannot compare to Innate special Physiques.

"Sister Cheng, when are you coming to Tongming Peak to play with me? I miss you so much." He Ruoxi said coquettishly. She did not dare to go find Bing Cheng, as she knew she was terrible with directions and might not even be able to find Wuming Peak, where Bing Cheng was, even if she asked for directions.

"In a few days, I will come to find you both." Bing Cheng had not heard of any rules restricting people from leaving Wuming Peak, so it should be possible to leave the peak.

As for Bing Ranxue's side, the image was constantly facing downwards, as if she were moving through the air. One could faintly see many powerful Yao Beasts that looked like Dragons appearing in the image.

"Ranxue, what are you doing?" Bing Cheng asked.

"Sister, the rule of Longshou Peak is that one cannot appear in human form, and the image on this voice transmission talisman cannot contain me, wuwu…" Bing Ranxue said with great grievance.

"Pfft…" Both girls could not help but laugh.

The three of them chatted like this for a long time.

But soon, an uninvited guest arrived, and the door to the residence was knocked upon once again.

Bing Cheng probed with her Divine Sense and discovered it was actually Senior Sister Dongfang He. Her heart felt a little apprehensive, and she did not know whether she should open the door.

"I'll chat with you both later when I have some free time." Bing Cheng said.

"Sister Cheng, you must come to Tongming Peak to find me, okay…"

"Sister, bye-bye. Ranxue will go find Sister in two days."

After hanging up the voice transmission talisman, Bing Cheng went to open the door. She would be seeing Senior Sister Dongfang He often in the future, so she could not just ignore her.

"Senior Sister Dongfang He… I wonder what brings you here?" Bing Cheng really did not know how to address Senior Sister Dongfang He.

"Giggle, giggle… Junior Sister, we are both Disciples of the Alchemy Pavilion, why be so distant? I only came this time to discuss Alchemy with you." Senior Sister Dongfang He giggled, displaying a very charming demeanor that could not be associated with the identity of a man at all.

Even now, Bing Cheng still found it hard to believe that this Senior Sister Dongfang He was a man in women's clothing.

"Junior Sister Bing, do you not welcome your Senior Sister? And why are you wearing a mask, when you are clearly so beautiful?" Senior Sister Dongfang He looked at Bing Cheng with resentment.

Now, the two of them were standing awkwardly at the entrance of the residence.

Bing Cheng thought to herself, "Why I am wearing a mask, don't you know?"

"Senior Sister, please come in…" Bing Cheng still let Senior Sister Dongfang He enter her residence.
