Chapter 118: Chapter 118

Upon hearing these words, Fan Wubing let out a long breath of relief, feeling a sense of warmth.

In fact, he had not particularly thought about such matters. But sometimes, he couldn’t help feeling somewhat out of place; after all, everyone around him was cultivating immortality, but he was walking a completely different path.

He had worried before whether the entire Eternal Immortal Sect would suspect him for having no cultivation ability but still being able to display strong combat power.

Now, with Mei Jinqiu’s words as an implicit "guarantee," he no longer needed to worry about these things and could relax a lot more.

"Thank you for your guidance, Sect Leader."

"What reward do you want?"

Speaking of rewards, Mei Jinqiu himself couldn’t help but chuckle. Earlier, he had already allowed Fan Wubing to choose any treasure from the Treasure Tower... What more could satisfy him?

"Sect Leader, I have a special request."

"What is it?" Mei Jinqiu couldn’t help but feel a bit expectant—what idea did this kid have now?

"Currently, Enlightenment Peak, with its rolling destiny, is moving in a positive direction, but it’s lacking popularity. Junior Sister Qingyao and I find it difficult to fill this void. Therefore, I request the Sect Leader to make an exception and recruit disciples exclusively for Enlightenment Peak."

This request took Mei Jinqiu by surprise. He quickly contemplated... Fan Wubing was right. The current momentum of Enlightenment Peak was extremely good, rapidly recovering. If filled with popularity, it would surely recover faster and also test its mettle.

However, having just recruited disciples at the beginning of the year, recruiting again would be... Get full chapters from novel(ꜰ)ire.net

This is a major issue.

Mei Jinqiu thought for a moment and asked,

"How about transferring a group of disciples from other peaks?"

Fan Wubing shook his head,

"I have considered this method, but serious analysis shows it’s unfeasible. If Enlightenment Peak aims to revitalize and return to its peak, it must push the entire Eternal Immortal Sect forward together in one fell swoop. Dividing disciples from other peaks essentially divides their destiny, which is detrimental to the overall development of the Eternal Immortal Sect."

Mei Jinqiu was surprised and asked,

"You’re so proficient in the concept of destiny?"

This, of course, was thanks to the Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill.

Having absorbed the "Lotus Purple Qi," the Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill had furthered Fan Wubing’s systematic understanding of "Qi."

"Senior Sister Fu Ming told me before."

"Ah, Fu Ming, no wonder."

As long as Senior Sister Fu Ming’s name was mentioned, everything made sense.

"Recruiting disciples is a major event for the sect and cannot be hastily decided. It requires discussion with the elders. However... Wubing, rest assured, I will fully support you."

"Thank you, Sect Leader."

Fan Wubing promptly left.

He did not return directly to Enlightenment Peak but went to Fulu Peak to find Ai Yinian.

On the way, disciples greeted him warmly, a completely different attitude from before.

When he found Ai Yinian, he was meditating and practicing breathing exercises.

"Senior Brother Fan, what’s the matter?" Despite his size, Ai Yinian’s smile was like a child’s.

Fan Wubing sensed his energy—it was already at the Ninth-Layer of Qi Refining and exclaimed,

"Reaching the Ninth-Layer of Qi Refining so quickly? Only five days have passed."

"I don’t know what happened; it’s like I don’t even need to deliberately absorb the celestial energy, it just naturally comes to me."

Fan Wubing was particularly interested in Ai Yinian’s physique. He had never seen such a case where various energies seemed to be enchanted, swirling around Ai Yinian, waiting for his favor.

Fan Wubing was taken aback but excited,

"Let me examine your body."

"Huh?" Ai Yinian froze upon seeing his expression and feeling his tone, "Senior Brother Fan..."

In that instant, a fierce struggle arose in the young man’s heart.

Examine my body? What does that mean? Take off my clothes and look inside? Could it be that Senior Brother Fan prefers men? Think carefully! By his side, there was the openly affectionate Luo Qingyao and the seemingly fond Fu Manman... both extraordinarily beautiful and recognized as "Pearl Beauties" among the disciples.

Yet Senior Brother Fan had remained unaffected!

Oh, so that’s how it is!

Ai Yinian clenched his teeth, deeply conflicted... Senior Brother Fan is a good person—strong, reliable, handsome, and he cares about me... If it’s Senior Brother Fan... if it’s him... it wouldn’t be impossible!

"Alright... alright..."

Ai Yinian began to undress.

Then suddenly he heard Fan Wubing say,

"No need to take off your clothes."

Fan Wubing said seriously,

"Examining the body doesn’t require taking off your clothes."

"Is it really just an examination?"

"What else could it be?"

Ai Yinian, with a stiff face, cursed himself internally... you foolish mind, you must have read too many strange novels!

"Go ahead, Senior Brother Fan, please proceed!" He quickly shouted to try to dissipate the awkwardness with his tone.

Fan Wubing immediately grabbed Ai Yinian’s left hand, using the Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill to guide Qi through his body.

Every meridian, every blood vessel, the Dantian, the Purple Mansion, the Qi Gate...

Fan Wubing’s Qi coursed through every part.

In Ai Yinian’s body, the Rootless Qi, originally only concentrated in his blood energy, was now spread throughout his entire body, leaving no corners untouched.

Rather than being made of flesh and blood, his body seemed to be composed of that Rootless Qi, with his flesh, bones, and tendons merely being transformations of it.

"What?" Ai Yinian asked.

"Junior Brother Yinian. You possess a Rootless Body."

"Never heard of such a physique."
