Walking along the path, Lin Fan was greeted by enthusiastic outer disciples whose fiery passion and reverent gazes made him feel particularly pleased. In his eyes, these outer disciples were truly adorable.
“Junior apprentice uncle, this is a Jade Plum fruit I just picked,” one outer disciple said excitedly upon seeing Lin Fan, rushing forward to present a perfectly cleaned fruit.
Lin Fan smiled as he accepted it. “Thank you, junior apprentice.”
Lin Fan continued walking forward while the disciple who had offered the fruit stood there, stunned, before suddenly bursting into excitement and joy.
The junior apprentice uncle had smiled at him and even thanked him—this was simply exhilarating.
Thinking back to Lin Fan’s many impressive feats, the disciple felt immense admiration.
Lin Fan’s alchemy skills were unparalleled; it seemed as if any pill could be effortlessly crafted by him without a single problem.
Even the outer elder of the Pill Cauldron Peak had come to provoke him, only to be left speechless by Lin Fan’s sharp words.
Who else could display such authority? Only Lin Fan, the revered junior master of the Nameless Peak.
In the past, outer disciples would run away from him like mice seeing a cat, but now they would quietly approach him and call him “Junior Master Lin,” a title that made Lin Fan’s heart bloom with joy.
This feeling was truly wonderful.
Although his seniority had increased significantly, costing him some experience, Lin Fan felt it was all worth it.
With his hands clasped behind his back and a smile on his face, Lin Fan would nod with a gentle smile whenever an outer disciple passed by and respectfully called him “Junior Master.”
In Lin Fan’s eyes, he had become a star admired by all. The gazes of admiration from the outer disciples were genuine and heartfelt.
Meanwhile, at the servant quarters, Zhang Erdou was also enjoying his moment of glory.
“Big Brother Dog…”
“Big Brother Dog, you’re the pride of us servants! Now that you’ve joined Junior Master Lin’s sect, your future will surely be brilliant. Don’t forget us when you rise to prominence!”
“Would our Big Brother Dog ever forget us? Didn’t he come back to visit everyone?”
A group of servant disciples surrounded Zhang Erdou like stars circling the moon, and this feeling made Zhang Erdou feel incredibly elated.
“Of course I won’t forget you all, brothers. I came back specifically to see how you’re all doing,” Zhang Erdou replied with a smile.
Previously serving beside the sect leader, though he had enjoyed some prestige, everyone’s attention had been on the leader himself. This made Zhang Erdou feel it was time to shine on his own.
“Big Brother Dog is truly a man of loyalty and righteousness. Even back when he was a servant, he always looked out for us.”
Each call of “Big Brother Dog” made Zhang Erdou’s heart leap with joy, and his smile grew even brighter.
…
Not far away, Lu Yan watched the crowd surrounding Zhang Erdou with a hint of jealousy in his eyes.
In Lu Yan’s mind, it should have been him standing there in the spotlight.
He unconsciously touched the prayer beads around his neck, his eyes burning with intense ambition.
The Great Freedom King Beads.
The few servant disciples who had previously been chosen by Lin Fan to weed the fields now watched Zhang Erdou’s moment of glory with regret and anguish. They even cried out to the heavens, lamenting why they had backed out at the last moment. Had they not retreated, they too could have been the center of attention like Zhang Erdou.
But now, regret was useless.
…
At this moment, Lin Fan stood before a stone tablet on a mountain peak.
“Jialan Peak!”
This was the legendary peak of the Holy Sect that accepted only female disciples.
Within the Holy Sect, Jialan Peak disciples rarely descended the mountain, always staying to cultivate. Lin Fan recalled that Ye Shaotian’s partner had once been a Jialan Peak disciple, but after meeting Ye Shaotian, she had left Jialan Peak to become an outer disciple.
Lin Fan had heard various rumors about this place.
Since he was here now, as a senior apprentice uncle, it was his duty to visit these female juniors.
As he walked up the mountain, Lin Fan encountered several female disciples.
The female disciples passing by Lin Fan kept glancing at him curiously, wondering who this male disciple was and what business he had coming up the mountain.
After passing several female disciples, Lin Fan sighed helplessly, gazing into the distance with a slight sense of disappointment. It seemed his reputation wasn’t yet widespread enough.
Not one of the female disciples who had passed recognized him, which Lin Fan found utterly unacceptable.
After all, he was the sect leader of the Nameless Peak, the Holy Demon Sect, and the ultimate idol in the hearts of countless outer disciples.
He was even known as the number one alchemy master of the Holy Sect.
And yet… and yet… sigh.
Lin Fan continued walking forward, maintaining his composure.
Meanwhile, he was already thinking of a plan. When he reached the summit, how should he introduce himself? How could he make the women of Jialan Peak admire him? In Lin Fan’s eyes, this was the most important matter.
Lin Fan didn’t have lofty ambitions. He simply wished to spread his name throughout the entire Holy Sect, echoing across the heavens and earth.
Was this a grand aspiration? Not particularly grand at all.
The scenery on Jialan Peak was breathtaking. As Lin Fan stepped onto the mountain, a unique feminine fragrance filled his nose, causing his blood to surge slightly.
Lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and a dazzling array of beauties—plump and slender, all stunning to behold.
At that moment, Lin Fan was completely captivated. No wonder Jialan Peak was known as the women’s peak.
The sudden appearance of a man among the female disciples immediately drew everyone’s attention.
Facing the gazes fixed upon him, Lin Fan remained calm and composed, slightly lifting his chin with a faint smile as he continued forward.
The Jialan Peak disciples whispered among themselves.
“Who is this person? Why is he here?”
“Not sure, but he seems to be a disciple.”
“Could he be like that group of inner disciples the senior apprentice sister drove away before?”
“Hmph, few men are good.”
“Well, you can’t just generalize all men like that.”
“That’s what the supreme elder said.”
…
Lin Fan glanced at these female disciples, feeling slightly disappointed. Could it really be that among so many people, not a single one recognized him?
At this moment, Lin Fan felt a little hurt but did not lose heart. He flicked his sleeve and continued walking forward, determined that surely someone would recognize him.
“Stop…” Just then, a female disciple from Jialan Peak stepped forward to block Lin Fan’s path. “This is Jialan Peak. Men are forbidden. As you are from our sect, leave immediately.”
Lin Fan smiled gently. “Junior apprentice, your senior uncle has come in search of a medicinal herb.”
Zhou Yaoyao, a Jialan Peak disciple, bore the responsibility of protecting the peak. Seeing this disciple acting suspiciously, casting glances everywhere, she was certain he was no good—just like other male disciples from other peaks who came with ill intentions. Thus, she spoke firmly, intending to drive him away to prevent her juniors from being harmed.
But upon hearing his words, Zhou Yaoyao’s expression immediately turned cold, and she snorted in anger. This person actually dared to take advantage of her.
