Chapter 1: Whose Scenery is Whose!

  This Hundred Flowers Pond, the Purple Mansion is where the Hundred Flowers Pond's Mo Dan and treasures are stored. The Purple Mansion has a large array locked outside, only the master of the pond and some core figures can enter and exit this Purple Mansion.

  Xiao Tiao is indeed qualified for this.

  "Shixiong will come with me!" Xiao Chui said calmly.

  "Hmm!" Ye Xuan responded, saying: "Actually, you don't have to call me Shixiong. I'm younger than you, it should be me calling you Shijie and you calling me Shidi. You keep calling me Shixiong, it's making me a bit uncomfortable!"

  Xiao Xiao's eyes blinked, and he continued to walk forward. Suddenly, he turned around and stared at Ye Xuan for a while before saying, "Then I'll call Master Chi's younger brother?"

  "Right!" Ye Xuan smiled and said.

  Xiao Xiao couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in her heart.

  What he was most worried about was that Ye Xuan was a spoiled and undisciplined disciple, in which case the only solution would be for her to personally kill Ye Xuan. But now that she took a closer look, Jiang Qiao's discerning eye was indeed not wrong - Ye Xuan didn't seem like a spoiled brat at all from head to toe.

  "Come to think of it, isn't the master of the Hundred Flowers Pond always a female cultivator? How can there be useful clothes?" Ye Xuan asked in doubt.

  He didn't want to wear skirts on his body.

  Xiao Xiao Qingyan smiled and said, "Ye Shidi, you're overthinking this. Actually, the founder of Ba Hua Chi was a man who created it for his wife. He left alone to explore a secret realm and never returned. He left behind a set of purple cassock robes, which were the original attire of the pool master. It's only fitting that you wear them now!"

  "Oh!" Ye Xuan asked: "This purple cassock, is it a treasure?"

  "It's not just a treasure, but also a defensive-type incoming treasure! Master said that the purple cassock has strong defensive power and can even absorb some true energy. However, only men can wear it, if women wear it on their body, it would be somewhat unseemly!" Xiao Chui said slowly.

  "So it was!"

  "We're here!"

  Xiao Xiao stopped in her tracks.

  Ye Xuan stopped in his tracks as Xiao Lian halted her footsteps, his eyes fixed on the structure ahead. Before them stood a majestic, entirely purple mansion that sprawled across an area of roughly one mile. The air around this imperial residence seemed to vibrate with an invisible aura of murderous intent, as if taking another step forward would mean certain death within its walls.

  Ye Xuan knew that the Purple Mansion was surrounded by a large array and could not be entered lightly.

  "Master Qi's junior brother, don't move!"

  Xiao Xiao waved his hand and said a few words. With a slap on the storage bag, a token suddenly flew out of it.

  Xiao Xiao held up the token and pointed at the void.

  A ray of light flew into the big array, and in the next moment, after a few loud rumbles, that killing intent completely disappeared, without leaving any trace.

  "Master of the pool, please follow me!"

  With a flicker of her eyes, Xiao Lian led Ye Xuan into the Purple Mansion in the middle of the Hundred Flowers Pond.

  ……

  "That's the Purple Robe of Zixuan!" Xiao Chui pointed at the purple long gown in the center.

  Ye Xuan's eyes followed Xiao Qiao's slender fingers and saw that in the center of the mansion, there was indeed a purple long gown hanging, his heart involuntarily filled with joy, this was indeed a male attire, and it was an excellent defensive treasure.

  His Western Peace Sword is an unorthodox magical treasure.

  Being in and out of fashion is a hundred times different!

  "I'll take it down for Master Chi!"

  Xiao Tiao's true energy moved slightly, and with just a point in the void, the purple Taoist robe was taken down from the wall.

  "Master Qi can go back and change into it right away!" Xiao Chuo smiled and said, "However, Master Qi should practice more diligently in the future!"

  I know!

  Ye Xuan smiled and said, "I'm not stupid, I know many people don't take me seriously, thinking I'm a mysterious and inexplicable Pool Master. I believe you think so too. At first when I came here, I was also thinking about how to do things as the Pool Master. Luckily, I had your help! Thank you!"

  He knows.

  Jiang Qiao had already helped him figure everything out.

  Although he is not in the Hundred Flowers Pond, it can still be determined that he can become the master of the Hundred Flowers Pond.

  "Be more polite, young brother!" Xiao Chui said with a gentle smile.

  She had a gentle and virtuous air about her, like a noble lady, dignified yet courteous, but at critical moments, she could surprisingly hold her ground, which made Ye Xuan involuntarily look up to Xiao Chui several notches.

  "I think you must be thinking that with just your words, I'm nothing but a spoiled young master, right?" Ye Xuan said with a slight smirk.

  Xiao Xiao's body stiffened for a moment, and her eyes flashed with surprise, clearly having been guessed by Ye Xuan.

  "It seems I've guessed it!"

  Ye Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, holding the purple cassock in his hand, saying: "I don't want to be this Pool Master, but since I've come to Ba Hua Chi, as the Pool Master of Ba Hua Chi, I will make these preparations!"

  "The disciples of Baihua Pond are disobedient, I'll make them obey. I may not be a qualified master of the pond, but that doesn't mean I'm not a qualified person!"

  Having said this, Ye Xuan took a step forward and left the Zi Manor.

  "Take me to see my dwelling!"

  Xiao Xiao looked at Ye Xuan's back, and for some reason, she paused for a moment, as if dazed.

  But in an instant, she looked at Ye Xuan's back and came to her senses.

  "It seems that this pool master isn't as terrible as I imagined!"

  ……

  In the late afternoon, Ye Xuan sat cross-legged on his bed.

  "That flash of silver light in the painting has laid the foundation for me to enter the Solid Origin Realm. With that, I only need to use the Golden Needle to pierce the Ren Xian acupoint, and within thirty days, I can attempt to break through the Solid Origin Realm once. Xiao Chi said that I have full power to allocate three-tenths of the spiritual medicine from the Hundred Flowers Pond, which would give me even more confidence!"

  Ye Xuan muttered to himself.

  That silver needle has been inserted into the armpit's Renxian acupoint.

  Meditation, cultivation.

  Soon, Ye Xuan entered the state.

  I don't know how long it's been.

  It was already early morning on the second day.

  Ye Xuan was still in cultivation.

  However.

  Next moment.

  A sense of crisis suddenly surged up in his mind.

  "Who!"

  Boom!

  The huge house shattered, a slender black-clothed figure suddenly appeared, this woman holding a sharp sword, her true energy surging, breaking through the house, a sword aura flashed over, and suddenly slashed towards Ye Xuan.

  "Terrible!"

  "Assassination!"

  Even if he was stupid, he could see that this was an assassination.

  "Bang!"

  "Hah!"

  The Western Peace Sword appeared in his hand.

  Ye Xuan stirred up his true energy, and a pair of wings appeared behind him, flapping wildly. He stepped on the bed with one foot, quickly retreating backwards. In the instant he retreated, he slashed down with his sword, and the sword energy broke away from the Western Peace Sword, colliding with the sword energy that the black-clothed man had struck out in an instant.

  "Hahaha!"

  The friction of sword energy, in the dark night, a dazzling flame flickers.

  Bang!

  Finally, Ye Xuan's sword energy couldn't hold on anymore.

  The black-clothed man made a series of swift moves, falling from mid-air to the ground and then stomping on the ground with his foot, using true energy to propel himself. In an instant, he broke through obstacles and transformed into a rope that wrapped around Ye Xuan's body in all directions.

  Ye Xuan didn't have time to escape and in an instant, he was entangled by the rope.

  "Oh no!"

  Ye Xuan's face changed color.

  "Primordial Boundary!"

  The man in black before his eyes was a master of the solid yuan boundary.

  The man in black looked at Ye Xuan coldly and said, "If you want to blame someone, it's only because you shouldn't have come to the Hundred Flowers Pond and ruined my plan. Taking your life today is also something you brought upon yourself!"

  "You're a paulownia!"

  Ye Xuan had long suspected that this woman was Wutong, and now, upon hearing her voice, he became even more certain that she was indeed Wutong.

  "You know now, too late, die!" The Wu Tong sword fell instantly.

  Just as it was about to hit.

  Ye Xuan's mouth corners slightly curled up.

  He slightly waved his left hand.

  The true energy is born in an instant.

  A sword of air gradually brewed out.

  "Instant Kill Sword Intent!"

  Ye Xuan's voice was cold and stern.

  In the blink of an eye, a sword light flashed by, and the killing intent of the Instant Kill Sword filled the left hand's energy sword. This sword was so fast that it was beyond comprehension, like fireworks blooming in the dark night, flashing and disappearing instantly.

  "This is..."

  The wutong tree was shocked and lost its color.

  "This is the will of the sword!"

  Ye Xuan's left-handed sword energy had always been his trump card. The left-handed sword energy was unleashed with a flash kill intent, which was the most perfect and flawless. Because of the flash kill intent, it was born for the left-handed true energy sword. As for how fast this sword was, even Ye Xuan couldn't clearly distinguish it!

  "Ah!!"

  A blood-curdling scream.

  The wutong flew out with its entire body upside down.

  Ye Xuan broke free from the Wutong's true energy restraint, took a step forward and swiftly dashed towards the front, then pointed his sword at the Wutong that had already fallen to the ground.

  "If you move again, you'll die!"

  "You... how can you possibly comprehend the intent of the sword?!"

  "Wutong gritted his teeth and said, 'Impossible! Sword intent is something that even a strong Qi Sea Realm cultivator might not be able to comprehend, let alone someone like you who's only at the fifth rank of the Mystic Sky Realm. How could you possibly understand such profound and mysterious sword intent? It's impossible!'"
