Pei Yun first returned to the outer gate, said hello to the two girls he lived with, went to the steward's office to complete the handover procedures, exchanged for the inner gate's jade token, and then came to the steward's hall of the inner gate.

She stood in the square of the inner gate, looking up at the towering mountains, the endless pavilions, and the suspended bridges connecting various places... The past events floated in her mind, and her heart was filled with emotion for a moment. She was back after all...

The inner gate's steward hall was several times larger than the outer gate's, and there were many stewards inside, each of whom was responsible for the stewardship of each peak. At this time, there was an endless stream of disciples coming in and out of the steward hall, creating a lively scene...

Pei Yun followed his memories and came to the desk in charge of the new inner disciples. He saw a woman in red sitting behind the desk. She had a high ponytail, a heroic face, and a smile on her face. At first glance, she gave people the impression of a cheerful personality.

"Junior sister, are you a new disciple here to handle the formalities?"

When Pei Yun saw this familiar face, he froze in place, staring at her without blinking, and was distracted for a moment.

She didn't expect to see Senior Sister Lu Yu as soon as she entered the inner door, the senior sister who protected her at the last moment.

In her previous life, she met Senior Sister Lu Yu very late, but once this senior sister met her, she would definitely have a good impression of her. She was cheerful and enthusiastic, and treated her junior brothers and sisters like them who had low cultivation and no backing sincerely, and helped the weak.

In the last operation to destroy the demon cave, she and her senior sister were in the same group. After being framed by Qi Hengnan and Pei Ruo, they were in a desperate situation. She was in great sadness and despair at the time and had no intention of fighting. But Senior Sister Lu Yu was different. Even though there were monsters all around her, she still fought calmly, consuming the last of her spiritual power to kill monsters one after another. In the end, she died to protect her, and even her body was devoured by the monsters...

In her previous life, she lived a muddle-headed life, with low self-esteem and self-pity. Even though she became an immortal, she had no ideals or beliefs. After being deceived by Qi Hengnan's false affections, she entrusted her body and mind to other people and had no independent personality or self-esteem.

But Senior Sister Lu Yu once said that she wanted to kill all the demons that harmed the people and protect the people of the world. This was her ideal and what she had been doing. Even at the last moment before her death, she said that it would be good to kill one more demon beast. This is a person of noble character and consistent words and deeds. How can we not admire her! In this life, she also wants to be a person who is worthy of herself like Senior Sister and shoulder the responsibility of a cultivator of our generation.

"...Senior Sister." Pei Yun's eyes were filled with nostalgia, and his eyes were slightly moist.

"...Junior sister, do you know me?" Lu Yu felt that the look in the person in front of her was very strange. It was like the longing for reunion after a long separation, as if they had known each other for a long time, but she was sure that this was the first time she met this junior sister today.

"Senior sister is enthusiastic and sincere, and often helps us fellow junior brothers and sisters, so I often hear the name of senior sister..." Pei Yun came back to his senses, smiled and bowed to her.

"You're welcome. I'm not that famous." Lu Yu touched his head awkwardly, then asked enthusiastically, "Junior sister, what are you here for?"

"My name is Pei Yun, and I am a menial disciple. Now that I have established my foundation, I will be transferred to the inner sect."

“My name is Lu Yu, you can just call me Senior Sister Lu. I am a disciple of the Zhengfa Hall.” Lu Yu said as he suddenly looked at the rather young face of the junior sister in front of him and exclaimed, “Huh?” “Junior sister is actually a menial disciple. It is rare to see menial disciples advancing to the foundation-building stage at such a young age.” As everyone knows, menial disciples generally have low spiritual roots and slow cultivation.

"Junior sister, I was lucky enough to enter the small secret realm and accidentally obtained a lot of resources, which allowed me to break through."

Lu Yu nodded and talked to her about the benefits and requirements for new inner disciples.

"... During the foundation-building period, you must take on a sect mission every six months. If there is a delay or special circumstances, the corresponding points will be deducted." Lu Yu said, and then motioned Pei Yun to look at a large transparent jade plate hanging in the air behind her. "Oh, Junior Sister Pei, after entering the inner sect, once you reach the foundation-building period, you can choose an inner peak by yourself. If you pass the assessment, you can join. The masters of the inner peaks are all elders of my sect. If you do not join or fail the assessment, you will temporarily live in Pingzhu Peak. The assessment requirements for entering each peak are written on this jade plate..."

Pei Yun looked at the jade board, which displayed the assessment requirements for the twenty-one inner peaks. She looked at it carefully and suddenly asked, "Why is Lingjian Peak not included?"

Lu Yu laughed, "Venerable Rufeng is indeed very charming. Most of the female disciples who come to choose the inner peak will ask this question. But unfortunately Lingjian Peak does not accept inner peak disciples. Venerable Rufeng has only one direct disciple, Senior Brother Luoqi..." Speaking of this, she moved closer to Pei Yun and chatted with gossip, "I heard that Venerable Rufeng is Senior Brother Luoqi's third uncle. Senior Brother Luoqi had to pester Venerable Rufeng for a long time before he agreed to accept him as a disciple..."

Pei Yun raised her eyebrows. It was the first time she heard the news. Thinking of Luo Qi whom she met not long ago, she felt that it was indeed something he could do. She smiled and looked at the situation in other inner peaks.

"This Danxiang Pavilion...does one need to pass the ninth-grade alchemist qualification exam to enter?"

"That's right. You need to obtain a qualification certificate before you can enter the Danxiang Pavilion, the Magical Instrument Hall, and the Formation Pavilion..."

"How to assess?" During Pei Yun's time at the Pei family, she had already refined several furnaces of elixirs in the space. Her mental power was quite outstanding among disciples of the same level. After failing several times, she was now able to successfully refine a lower-grade ninth-grade elixir.

"Junior Sister Pei can go to Danxiang Pavilion for the assessment."

"Thank you, Senior Sister Lu." Pei Yun looked at the jade plate for a while and finally did not take any test. Instead, he entered Pingzhu Peak.

In fact, she also entered Pingzhu Peak in her previous life. Of course, unlike this life where she didn't want to take the exam, she couldn't pass it in her previous life. Most of the disciples in Pingzhu Peak were not very skilled and had insufficient strength. Of course, there were also a few people with eccentric personalities. Every five years, there was a competition among the peaks, and almost no disciples in Pingzhu Peak could make it into the top 300.

"Senior sister, I just advanced to a level where I am not strong enough, so I'd better go to Pingzhu Peak first."

"Junior Sister Pei, don't be discouraged. Very few disciples who have just advanced to the foundation-building stage can enter the inner peak. It took me more than a year to enter the Orthodox Dharma Hall." Lu Yu encouraged and comforted her.

After chatting with Lu Yu for a few more words, Pei Yun came to Pingzhu Peak. She chose a quiet place on the mountainside and found an uninhabited courtyard. There was a formation barrier in the courtyard. She put the jade token into the formation plate at the door, and the barrier disappeared.

From now on, this would be her residence during the foundation-building period. Pei Yun simply tidied up and entered the space.

As soon as I entered the space, I found something wrong. The space actually expanded by itself. The white fog that was originally inaccessible retreated several miles. There were more spiritual fields that could be planted, and there was also a spiritual tree. The trunk was quite thick, and it took several people to hug it. It was five or six people tall, with dense and lush leaves, and looked full of vitality.

However, Pei Yun looked around the spirit tree carefully. She was a little disappointed that there were no fruits on the tree for the time being. However, the upgrade of the space was already a pleasant surprise, although she did not understand why the space was suddenly upgraded.

After observing the changes outside, she immediately ran into the tower, and sure enough, the second floor of the tower was opened.

Pei Yun ran up impatiently. After stepping onto the top step, she felt as if she had entered another space world. The night sky was dotted with stars all around her. There were a few hanging stars that were particularly bright and could be picked with her hands, so she reached out and picked one...

The light wrapped around her palm, and the next moment she appeared in a transparent square room. A voice sounded beside her ear -

"The secret of space - shape-shifting."

As the voice sounded, a figure appeared not far away. The figure looked exactly like her, except that it had no expression and no life. It was obvious that it was an illusion. With every step she took, the figure disappeared from its original location and then appeared in another place. In a few moments, it came in front of her and pushed her out...

Before Pei Yun could react, she found herself back in the starry sky. The star in front of her was still in front of her, but she realized that in just a moment, her mental strength had disappeared. Her legs were weak and she had no strength at all.

Pei Yun returned to the first floor of the tower and did not dare to go forward again.

After that, she began a half-year long practice, except for a small mission in the middle - escorting a young man from a small family. This mission was uneventful, mainly because they had to cross the Qinyao Ridge where monsters roamed, so that family issued the mission to the Yunshan Sect. However, when entering there, Pei Yun did not encounter any monsters with high cultivation. The highest one was only in the middle stage of the Yuanti period, and was killed instantly by her sword.

During the past six months, she not only practiced the Light and Shadow Escape and Water Source Light that she had practiced before to the highest level, but also practiced the Wind-Fixing Palm to the fourth style - Wind Stop, and also realized the artistic conception of wind to the great perfection realm.

What surprised her most was the group from the City Lord's Mansion. When she was watching the fights between the various families, she had vaguely realized the artistic conception of water. This time, she was practicing the highest level of the light of the water source - Nine Dragons in the Sky. She has already entered the realm of water artistic conception. This move, Nine Dragons in the Sky, is also her ultimate killer move.

There was also the finger technique secret book that she brought back from the secret realm last time - Phantom Finger. She had also practiced to the third finger. This finger technique has a total of nine styles.

As for the mirror, after she recognized its master, she discovered that this magical weapon was a lower-grade earth-level weapon. Once illuminated by this mirror, the mind of anyone with lower mental power than the holder would go blank, and the specific duration of the loss of consciousness depended on the level of mental power.

Of course, the higher the holder's mental power, the more powerful the magic weapon. With Pei Yun's current mental power, she can only use it once and then she will be exhausted.

Her alchemy skills also improved rapidly. Her mental power was much stronger than that of ordinary disciples of the same level, and her alchemy skills were very powerful. At this time, she could already refine medium-grade eighth-grade pills. All the spiritual herbs and flowers that she had originally collected and purchased were made into pills.

Pei Yun went to the stewardship hall again and sold the Qi-refining pills he had refined to the sect. He actually earned thousands of low-grade spirit stones, not including the points given by the sect. This alchemist really made money.

More than half a year had passed in a flash, and she went to the mission hall next door to select a mission. In another half a year, she would have to return to her family and go to the imperial city, so she had to complete a few more missions during this free time.

There are several compartments in the mission hall, with tasks of different difficulty in different compartments. Pei Yun's cultivation of martial arts secrets has reached a bottleneck, and it is time to verify them in actual combat, so he specially chose a four-star level task in the foundation-building period.

As soon as I entered, I found that there were many disciples who came today. Everyone was excitedly discussing the latest developments and the newly released tasks.

"I heard that the Yuejian Sect, the number one sect in Beiqizhou, sent an envoy to invite me to go to the Yuejian Sect to discuss matters related to exterminating demons..."

"The Yuejian Sect has discovered traces of the demons again..."

"I heard that some hiding places of the demons have been discovered. The Yuejian Sect has invited all the major sects to discuss the matter and is preparing to send a group of people to explore the demon caves first..."

"So I heard that the sect will issue a mission today. Follow the elders to the Yuejian Sect and explore the demon cave..."

"Are you here to take on this mission too?"

"Of course, it is our duty as cultivators to exterminate the demons. Besides, this time we can also visit the Yuejian Sect, the number one sect in Beiqizhou, to broaden our horizons. Isn't that even better..."

"Hmph! What's so great about Yuejian Sect! Yuejian Sect's vision is far inferior to that of our Yunshan Sect. I heard that Venerable Rufeng wanted to join Yuejian Sect, but was rejected by Yuejian Sect. Now, Yuejian Sect must be regretting it..."

"hey-hey!"

As they were talking, they started laughing again. Pei Yun was eavesdropping nearby. When he heard the word "devil's cave", his eyes instantly turned cold. However, the devil's cave discovered by Yue Jianzong should have nothing to do with the one she visited in her previous life.

After a while, after seeing that the new task was indeed announced on the jade plate - exploring the devil's cave, she did not hesitate and signed up resolutely.

Three days later, Pei Yun came to the gathering square. At this time, there were already hundreds of people standing in the square. This time, a total of 300 disciples needed to be recruited, not only those in the Foundation Establishment Stage, but also those in the Golden Core Stage. Everyone gathered together in groups of three or four to chat.

Pei Yun didn't know anyone at first, so he stayed aside by himself. Unexpectedly, he heard a voice calling from not far away and found out it was Senior Sister Lu Yu. As expected, Senior Sister hated evil and always hated the demons, so it was completely reasonable for her to accept this task.

"Junior Sister Pei, did you accept this task when you were only in the early stage of foundation building?" Lu Yu asked with concern.

"The demons are killing the common people. It is our duty as cultivators to wipe out the demons. Junior sister also wants to do her part."

"Well done, Junior Sister Pei. You're just what I want." Lu Yu laughed out loud and patted her shoulder generously.

A few more people came and greeted Lu Yu. Unlike Pei Yun who always acted alone, Lu Yu had a wide range of friends. Now he was the manager of the stewardship hall, so he would greet and chat with anyone he met.

Soon, all three hundred disciples gathered in the square. What they didn't expect was that in addition to Elder Li and Elder Zhong, the leader this time was actually Elder Luo, also known as Venerable Rufeng. Those disciples who knew about the past grievances between Luo Rufeng and Yuejian Sect couldn't help but gossip in their hearts. It seemed that something good was going to happen.

Luo Rufeng had a calm expression on his face. Although he looked young, his words and actions were steady and capable, and he had the aura and composure of a superior.

Luo Qi behind him saw Pei Yun at a glance, smiled and winked at her. Pei Yun's mouth twitched slightly, and she turned her head away, pretending not to know him.

"Now that all the disciples are here, let's go." Elder Li from the Zhengfa Hall said, taking out three boat-shaped flying magic weapons.

The flying ship instantly became huge in the air, and three hundred disciples boarded the ship in different directions. Lu Yu originally wanted to take her to Elder Li's flying ship, but unexpectedly, Luo Qi showed up and pulled her to Venerable Rufeng's flying ship...
