The boat directly dived from high altitude and entered Beiming Peak's mansion.

  "Brother Ji Ning."

  Wang Wei, Yunzhou and Yunlu, the three purple mansion cultivators' attendants, all bowed respectfully. Beside them, Bai Shuize also looked at Ji Ning. Ji Ning smiled slightly at Bai Shuize: "Uncle Bai, I'll go to the quiet room for a moment of contemplation. If there's something extremely important, call me."

  Bai Shuizhe nodded slightly.

  Ji Ning immediately walked directly towards his own cultivation chamber.

  Yunlu bit her lip, looking at Jining: "Just glanced at me, didn't even look at me properly, humph. In the clan, many want to be my Dao partner. This Shixiong Jining has never really talked to me before." Yunlu's seductiveness was indeed top-notch, surpassing the fox women and beautiful maidens in Wuyou Cave, even Jiulian Shijie was slightly inferior to her.

  Only the reincarnated immortal, Huo Hong Xianzi Yu Wei, can compare to her, no wonder Yunlu has always been confident. She naturally wants to hook up with this black and white academy disciple, and Ji Ning is indeed her best choice for a Dao partner. Unfortunately... Ji Ning still hasn't spoken a word to her until now.

  "I don't believe it!" Yunluo thought to herself.

  "I don't know how the battle at Ludao Temple turned out either." The cloud boat beside him lit up with excitement, filled with anticipation.

  "We all don't know." Forgot Wei Su Mu said.

  Yunzhou glanced at this forgetful guard and curled his lips in disdain.

  In the quiet room.

  Ji Ning sat cross-legged, surrounded by swirling sword auras that danced and weaved, sometimes chopping, sometimes stabbing, sometimes slashing... seemingly ordinary, yet containing a sharpness that made one's heart tremble.

  Suddenly all the sword energy around him dissipated completely.

  "Ah." Ji Ning's face revealed a hint of a smile. "Contemplating for one night, I indeed gained something. It also solidified my previous understanding."

  "What is the Great Way of the Sword? Is it the Immortal Swordsman?" Ji Ning's eyes held anticipation.

  Wow.

  Ji Ning stood up, and with a loud rumble, the stone gate opened. He quickly arrived at the outer courtyard.

  It's still a bit light at this moment.

  Ji Ning stood in the courtyard, taking a deep breath of the thick heavenly and earthly primordial energy that existed between heaven and earth, his mood was even better.

  "Brother Ji Ning." A gentle and pleasant voice sounded beside him.

  Ji Ning turned his head to look, and it was Yunluo wearing a pale pink Taoist robe. Although the robe was loose and large, when worn on her slender figure, it still had a subtle yet deep temptation. Her raven-black long hair, simply tied up, also naturally had a charming intention.

  "What a rare treasure, I'd let her be my servant for a hundred taels. But why is she here?" Ji Ning thought to himself, although Yunluo was extremely beautiful, he wanted true freedom and ease. He wouldn't easily choose a dao companion. Even if he were to choose one, it would be a matter of great importance, and at this moment, Yunluo hadn't stirred his heart in the slightest.

  "I'm grateful to have been able to pay respects to Master Ji Ning and enter this Black and White Academy, I haven't even thanked Master Ji Ning yet." Yunlu's slender figure swayed as she bowed her head in gratitude.

  Ji Ning nodded slightly.

  Suddenly, a figure rushed over from outside. It was a young servant boy. The young man couldn't help but glance at the lofty and proud cultivator 'Yunluo', then stammered: "Master, there is someone outside who claims to be your master's senior brother. He's waiting at the door. He has been waiting for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."

  "Oh?" Ji Ning nodded and immediately laughed loudly, "I don't know which senior brother it is, let the senior brother wait for so long, it's the junior brother who was slow. Please come in."

  "Haven't you gone to prepare wine and water yet?" Ji Ning looked at Yunlu beside him.

  "Yes." Yunlu bowed and backed away.

  That ordinary young man had cold sweat all over his back, having just stolen a glance at the peerless beauty 'Yunluo', for him it was as if he had seen a legendary fairy, and at the same time he secretly sighed: "If I could have such a fairy as my woman, even if only for a short while, it would be worth it. But to the master, such a fairy is not even worthy of consideration."

  "Junior Brother Ji Ning." A young man wearing a black Taoist robe walked in. His eyes shone like stars, and his face wore a smile. "Although we met at the entrance ceremony and the Hall of Discussion, I never had a chance to talk to you, Junior Brother. My name is Hui Yongchun, and my Taoist name is also 'Yongchun'."

  "Brother Yongchun, please." As a cultivator, Ji Ning's memory was exceptionally clear. He recalled that this Brother Yongchun had been standing beside the slovenly true man, the plump young master, in the Hall of Discussion previously. To be able to stand alongside that slovenly true man, he must have been one of the more outstanding disciples of Wanxiang.

  Two brothers sat opposite each other, with Yunlu serving fine wine and fruit beside them.

  "Brother, this is indeed a wonderful person." Yong Chun praised with a smile.

  Yunlu's face showed a hint of blush.

  Ji Ning smiled: "Just borrowed an opportunity to cultivate under my gate."

  "Oh." Yong Chun nodded and immediately discovered that his junior brother in front of him didn't have any thoughts about the charming servant girl beside him, so he didn't mention it again.

  ……

  Watching Ji Ning and Yong Chun Shixiong, the two formal disciples of Hei Bai Xue Gong, chatting and laughing, Yunlu, who was serving beside them, went from being eager to try at first to secretly feeling heartbroken later. Previously, that Yong Chun Shixiong had even praised her with a sentence, but later on, neither Yong Chun Shixiong nor his own master Ji Ning looked at her even once as they talked to each other.

  These two prodigies apparently never cared about her appearance, which made her very sad.

  "Ji Ning, Shidi!" a voice suddenly came from outside.

  "Here comes another one." Ji Ning thought to himself, the reason he came out of his quiet room so early today was because he understood... that his performance in the Discussion Hall yesterday would likely attract some fellow disciples who would be willing to interact with him. And the more fellow disciples he got along with, the better it would be for him.

  After all, a formal disciple of Hei Bai Xue Gong is someone that others want to befriend but can't.

  *

  A formal disciple of the Black and White Academy arrived, either alone or in groups of two or three, making the courtyard quite lively. From time to time, some senior brothers and sisters would leave, but there were always about three to five people in the courtyard.

  Yunluo went to serve as a maid naturally and personally.

  What made her sad was... apart from those senior brothers and sisters who kindly praised her, among the more than 20 formal disciples who came and went, only one senior brother really took a closer look at her. It was still the senior brother with the Taoist name 'Huan Xi' (Happy), according to what that senior brother said, he liked dual cultivation the most.

  "These black and white academy disciples, except for that one who likes to cultivate in pairs, the others are truly extraordinary in their Daoist hearts." Yunlu secretly marveled at this, those who could enter the Black and White Academy were indeed all exceptional geniuses.

  And it sounds like...

  Ji Ning, the master of his own home, is even more outstanding among this group of exceptional geniuses, and can be described as a freak! He attracts many fellow disciples to come and make friends with him.

  "Junior Brother Ji Ning, I've brought two senior sisters over. May we have an audience?" A gentle voice came forth, and in an instant, the three people conversing with Ji Ning all turned their heads to look, soon spotting three streaks of light flying through the air from a distance.

  "Jiulian Shijie wants to see her younger brother, how dare he not see her." Ji Ning looked up at the high-flying Jiulian Shijie.

  Jiulian Shijie was next to a woman in red clothes and a silver-clothed girl with an overbearing aura, all three women fell from the sky together.

  "They..."

  Upon seeing these three senior sisters, Yunlu instantly felt a sense of inferiority. The outstanding temperament of these three senior sisters... is what can be called fairy-like.

  "This is Qingqing Shimei, this is Baishui Shijie." Jiulian Shijie smiled and looked at Jining.

  "Have met Junior Brother Ji Ning." The red-clothed woman looked at Ji Ning.

  "I've seen Ji Ning's junior brother." The silver-robed girl also said.

  ……

  It wasn't until the evening that Ji Ning's North Ming Peak finally calmed down, and his fellow disciples had all left. However... another person arrived, and that was Bei Shan Bai Wei.

  "Come in, sit down."

  Ji Ning and Bei Shan sat down.

  "I knew you'd be very busy today and many fellow disciples would come to visit you, so I deliberately waited until it was almost dark before coming." Bei Shan Bai smiled.

  "You're really something, Bai Wei." Ji Ning praised.

  Beishan Baiwei burst out laughing: "How could I not guess such a thing? Right, today I came, it was on the orders of my father."

  "Your father?" Ji Ning was shocked.

  Hei Hu of Bei Shan...

  That aura made him feel terrifying, absolutely no less than the head of the Black and White Academy, and even more intense in terms of overbearingness! One of the candidates for the next Lord of Anping!

  "What's going on here?" Ji Ning was taken aback.

  "Clap clap." Bei Shan Bai Wei clapped her hands together.

  At that moment, the two purple mansion cultivator attendants who were following behind him immediately stepped forward, taking out a black jade plate from their respective storage artifacts. The black jade plates had exquisite carvings of black tigers and were translucent, beautiful beyond compare, truly a work of art. On the black jade plates lay several items.

  At first glance, there were six black jade disks.

  There are two jade bottles, a small boat, black wings, and two sets of flying swords as thin as embroidery needles.

  "These two sets of flying swords, one set has seventy-two handles and the other has eighteen handles. They are all top-grade human-tier flying swords."

  "These black wings... are a top-grade wing-type treasure of the Human Realm."

  "This boat is actually a top-grade flying treasure of human rank."

  "This jade bottle is a treasure of the miasma method, it's an escape tool."

  "This jade bottle contains one thousand catties of yuan liquid." Beishan Baimei said beside him, "Take all these away."

  Ji Ning was stunned.

  In his eyes, these are no ordinary things. Except for that black wing which is slightly inferior, the others are extremely precious.

  "This, how can it be." Ji Ning said repeatedly, "Too precious."

  "My father ordered me to come, I delivered the goods, and that's all I care about." Beishan Baiwei waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be too modest, you also have a connection with my father. My father sent gifts with good intentions, just accept them."

  Ji Ning hesitated for a moment.

  Before that, Beishan Baiwei was his friend, and he couldn't erase his relationship with Beishan Heihu Fu, so he might as well accept it.

  "Good." Ji Ning nodded.

  "That's right, my father's things are not free. These are nothing to him." Bei Shan Bai Wei said continuously, "Right, you asked me to investigate that Meng Yan, I also investigated, he indeed didn't enter any sect. But do you want me to send someone to bring him to the Black and White Academy?"
