His avatar walked at the end.

“Restricted area Is it already an open secret, or is it still sealed away in a hidden place”

He muttered to himself, feeling that the secrets involved with Mount Douniu were growing increasingly vast. The Lan Dou Sect seemed to be avoiding him like the plague, which only fueled his curiosity about the true teachings hidden on Mount Douniu.

This is a placeholder.

Back in his stone chamber, after refining today's spiritual materials, he left the stone hall alone and returned to his cave dwelling to continue cultivating the Yin-Yang Armor. The next morning, he rode a flying artifact towards a pagoda-shaped peak near Lan Dou Gate.

There are many wooden halls on the mountain, which house the treasured scriptures of the sect.

As he flew past the training grounds of some lower-ranked disciples, he greeted those he knew and continued his flight up the mountain without stopping.

Upon entering the mountain, they paid spirit stones and began to browse through the scriptures within.

And in the following days, he frequently went back and forth to this mountain.

>

New disciples could only look at the scriptures on the first level of the tower. Although there were many secrets about Canglang Sea that he had never known before in the scriptures, he couldn't find what he was truly looking for.

He flipped through a book, his face etched with thought. "Looks like I need to refine the Yin-Yang Armor as soon as possible and become a true disciple of Yin-Yang Peak. Only true disciples have the privilege of entering those forbidden areas of the sect. Thankfully, the standard for accepting true disciples on Yin-Yang Peak is not based solely on reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. As long as I can refine the Yin-Yang Armor and demonstrate that my aptitude allows me to cultivate the 'Yin-Yang Heaven's Battle Art', I should be fine. Otherwise, even if I have confidence in reaching the 13th level of the Qi Refining Stage and establishing my foundation within a year or two, that rate of cultivation would be too alarming. It would definitely raise suspicion…"

Thinking about this, the avatar no longer stayed any longer, returning to the cave dwelling and fully concentrating on refining the Yin-Yang Armor.

His cultivation speed was in no way slower than those disciples with powerful talents. As time passed, the condensed yin and yang energy on his body surface grew more and more, gradually forming the outline of a suit of armor.

Just that day, the transformed one suddenly received a message from a senior brother that someone was looking for him outside the sect.

After sending the message, that senior brother's face broke into an ambiguous smile.

"Since I've barely interacted with any cultivators outside the mountain gate, who would come looking for me Could it be..."

As a thought took shape in his mind, he flew out of the mountain gate and saw Fang Ting standing there, radiant and beautiful.

>

"Big Brother Zhang!"

Upon seeing the avatar, Fang Ting's eyes lit up. She waved her hand energetically. As the avatar landed before her, her expression dimmed, and she whispered somewhat shyly, "Zhang senior brother, I'm sorry, I didn't know Master would..."

>

"The Transformation shook his head and waved, "Little sister, you don't have to say that. I know you mean well! Besides, Senior Chen might not be targeting me at all. He might be preparing a good place for me. But Master Hua Yang's sudden arrival interrupted..."

Given the relationship between Lan Doumen and Yan Miaogong, it wouldn't be wrong to call them siblings.

“Brother, you don't blame me! That's great!”

Fang Ting felt a huge weight lift from her chest. She let out a breath of relief and exclaimed with delight, "I was afraid my senior brother would misunderstand me, which is why I hesitated for so long. Otherwise, I would have visited you much earlier!"

“Zhang Mou is not someone who doesn’t know good from bad,” Hua Shen smiled faintly, “However, junior sister, have you asked Senior Chen before coming here”

Fang Ting pouted, "Senior brother, you still have a grudge against Master, but that's normal. You'll understand later, Master isn't a bad person!"

At this moment, Fang Ting suddenly lowered her voice and pointed to the Lan Dou Gate, mysteriously saying, "Master has been grumbling since he went back. He's currently in seclusion, vowing to break through to the middle stage of the Core Formation..."

The transformed being heard this and suddenly understood. Anyone who had experienced the humiliation in the ancestral hall of Yanmian Pavilion would surely have a hard time getting over it.

The disciple of the Chen family couldn't possibly be stronger than Old Dao Hua Yang, so he could only strive to improve and hope to catch up with him in cultivation. Only then would he have a chance to get back at him for this humiliation.

Seeing that the embodiment truly did not care about past matters, Fang Ting recovered her usual personality.

He took her into the sect and showed her around carefully. From her words, he also learned that Fang Ting had long been favored by a cultivator surnamed Chen and was taken as his disciple.

But she didn't know the true identity of the Chen surname cultivator before, and only after entering the Yan Miao Pavilion did the truth come to light.

Finally seeing off the reluctant Fang Ting, I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

“This girl is incredibly high-status at the Yanmiao Pavilion, and Old Ghost Chen protects her so fiercely. I estimate that few of her peers in the sect dare to approach her, let alone treat her as a friend. Playing this identity is quite troublesome; one has to be careful with every person they meet. It's best to find the true transmission of Douniu Peak as soon as possible and leave quickly. As long as I solve the third challenge of , my true form can find a safe cave to meditate for several decades, waiting patiently for the Qisha Hall to open…”

His spirit murmured to himself.

Although it was still some distance before he could truly forge the Yin-Yang Armor, after much deliberation, he decided to visit Yang Shi Shu. He made a beeline for Yin-Yang Peak and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain.

The spiritual energy here is several times more concentrated than that of Jade Finger Peak outside. It's evident that this is one of the best locations within the sect for spiritual veins.

The avatar hovered at the foot of the mountain, taking out a token and activating the inscription on it with spiritual energy.

Not long after, a streak of light appeared in the mountains, revealing the figure of a young Taoist priest.

He looked displeased, as if he was irritated by the avatar's arrival to interrupt him. He scolded, "You haven't been here long, yet you don't diligently cultivate and run around everywhere"

The figure's face was pale with fear, and he stammered, "Respectfully reporting to Master Yang, this disciple has just condensed the initial form of Yin-Yang Armor, but I feel stuck. There's been no progress for days now, and there are some questions I would like to ask you..."

"What"

Hearing the avatar's words, the young boy's anger subsided and he was astonished. "You condensed the Yin-Yang armor into its nascent form so quickly Show me!"

The avatar, following the command, moved his hands in a series of gestures. A grayish mist surged around his body, struggling to coalesce into the shape of armor.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

Under deliberate control, his condensing speed wasn't the fastest among the Yin Yang pulse, but it was one of the best.

Seeing the nascent shape of armor on his avatar, a look of surprise deepened in the child's eyes. "It seems I underestimated your talent. This achievement surpasses even my own from back then! In that case... perhaps you could even catch up to the Dōming Island ritual."

The boy's face was contemplative, his last words barely a whisper, almost to himself.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

But the avatar still heard a few words.

This was the first time he had heard of this Dharma assembly on Holeming Island.

The little Taoist boy raised his eyelid and said in a low voice, "Refining the Yin-Yang Armor is used to test one's aptitude. In fact, once the rudimentary form of the Yin-Yang Armor is born, you can begin practicing your techniques. You have been able to refine it so quickly, your talent is evident. There is no need for further testing. Even if I were to pass on the true teachings now, there would be nothing amiss. Master said before that when things are urgent, one must prioritize expediency. Now that we are short-handed, there is no need to stick rigidly to the rules…"
