"Fairy, what's happening?" Wang Xiaoqiang noticed something was off with Fairy Zixia's mood and stepped forward to ask.

"There will be changes within the sect... I'm afraid my issue will affect you all, even causing you to be implicated..." Fairy Zixia's face was solemn. Through Senior Sister Qingyue's words, she vaguely sensed something, her heart uneasy and restless.

"What should we do then?" Ding Chunqiu was a bit apprehensive, his gaze fixed on Wang Xiaoqiang. From Fairy Zixia's expression, he could sense the presence of danger.

"No worries, we'll act according to the situation. If there's danger, we'll flee together," Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"It's not that serious..." Fairy Zixia waved her hand, "Let's go, blessings don't turn into curses, and curses can't be avoided..."

As Fairy Zixia spoke, she led the two to descend and enter the Tri-Element Sect.

The Tri-Element Sect differs from the sects of the Immortal Realm. The buildings of the Tri-Element Faction lack fixed configurations and are constructed rather haphazardly,

Although it is just a small sect, it stretches for hundreds of miles along the mountain range, with buildings on mountain tops, mountain hollows, midway up mountains, and even in deep streams and gorges.

Almost every mountain body houses a cave abode.

These buildings and cave abodes are constructed in a disorderly manner, yet all are connected by a mysterious aura. The entire Tri-Element Sect spans for miles, without the protection of walls, but a restriction seals the entire sect, making it difficult for outsiders to enter.

The disciples' residences are all cave abodes, and every disciple of Tri-Element Sect has a cave abode, showing that Tri-Element Sect provides rather advantageous conditions and treatment.

The three arrived at Fairy Zixia's cave abode, where two immortal cranes flew out from the cave, landing before Fairy Zixia, their heads slightly lowered, chirping softly in a humble manner.

"These are my guardian cranes," Fairy Zixia said to the two, then reached out her hands, gently rubbing the heads of the cranes and said, "These are my friends, and they can freely access my cave abode from now on."

The cranes chirped twice, as if agreeing.

Fairy Zixia led the two into her cave abode, which was very spacious and tidy. Large murals adorned the smooth walls, and soft carpets covered the floor. Inside were antique screens and luxurious, fur-covered couches, with a faint fragrance in the air, resembling a maiden's boudoir.

Every meter on the walls hung a luminescent spirit stone, emitting a soft glow. Because of their abundance, the entire cave abode was brightly lit.

The luminescent spirit stones not only served as illumination but also continuously emitted spiritual energy, nourishing anyone living within the cave abode.

"Fairy, you Tri-Element Sect disciples really have good treatment," Wang Xiaoqiang remarked while surveying the cave abode.

Fairy Zixia gave a faint smile and said, "Compared to the major sects in the Immortal Realm, of course, this treatment is good, but Tri-Element Sect is just a small sect in Biluo Realm, and the treatment here is actually quite poor. If you visit those major sects or large tribes, you won't think it's good at all...

Every disciple in those large tribes occupies a mountain peak, and their cave abodes are like a city, with dozens to hundreds of immortal slaves inside..."

Wang Xiaoqiang and Ding Chunqiu were astounded by the description, thinking how extravagant such a life would be.

"Come, have a seat," Fairy Zixia invited them to sit on the couch, then brought out fruits and wine to entertain them.

Wang Xiaoqiang and Ding Chunqiu saw the fruits sparkling and the wine aroma enticing, their appetites aroused, recognizing them as good stuff, they didn't hesitate to eat. They also poured out the wine to drink, finding the fruits sweet and the wine rich in flavor, incomparable to anything in the Immortal Realm.

After settling them in the cave abode, Fairy Zixia went to meet her mentor.

Fairy Zixia's mentor was not the sect leader of Tri-Element Sect, but the sect leader's junior, a middle-aged man with a beardless face, known as Beardless Daoist Master.

Beardless Daoist Master's cave abode was ten times the scale and size of Fairy Zixia's, exuding grandeur and opulence.

When Fairy Zixia arrived at Beardless Daoist Master's cave entrance, four immortal cranes blocked her way, spreading their wings and chorusing fiercely, ready to pounce.

Fairy Zixia was slightly panicked, clasped her hands, and said, "Disciple Zixia, here to see my mentor, please announce my presence."

After she finished speaking, one of the cranes turned and flew into the cave, swift as an arrow.

In no time, the crane returned, chirping softly, and the other three cranes cleared the path for her to pass.

"Thank you," Fairy Zixia expressed her gratitude and stepped into the cave.

Upon entering the main hall of the cave, she saw Beardless Daoist Master seated on a throne, surrounded by four immortal slaves, looking leisurely.

Seeing Fairy Zixia enter, he smiled at her, appearing pleased.

Fairy Zixia bowed deeply to Beardless Daoist Master, "Mentor."

Beardless Daoist Master's smile was warm, "Ah, Zixia, you have returned."

Compared to before, the attitude of Beardless Daoist Master seemed to have improved a bit. Fairy Zixia was surprised and unsettled by this change.

Beardless Daoist Master swept his divine sense, noticing Fairy Zixia's cultivation base had reached the True Immortal Realm, and was astonished.

It should be known that though Fairy Zixia had abandoned her cultivation base, even if she resumed cultivation, reaching the True Immortal Realm in such a short time was nearly impossible. In his surprise, he asked, "Eh? Zixia, how did your cultivation progress so quickly?"

The rules of Tri-Element Sect were strict, and as a disciple, one dared not lie to their mentor. Fairy Zixia honestly replied, "Mentor, I received power transfers from a hundred Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Realm..."

"A hundred Immortal Emperors transferring power to you? It must be under the command of Wang Xiaoqiang, the Heavenly Prodigy of the Immortal Realm. Only he could do this," Beardless Daoist Master said.

"Yes, Wang Xiaoqiang," Fairy Zixia was surprised by Beardless Daoist Master's familiarity with Wang Xiaoqiang. She added, "Wang Xiaoqiang, along with his immortal slaves, came to Biluo Realm. Currently, he is at my cave abode, and I wish to recommend him as a disciple of Tri-Element Sect..."

"Hmm, good, good. As long as he can unlock three immortal veins, I will accept him as an apprentice..." Beardless Daoist Master said.

"Uh, by the way, Zixia, during this Turning Mortal phase, how many realms of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique have you comprehended?"

"I am ashamed, mentor, I have only comprehended one realm," Fairy Zixia replied ashamedly, lowering her head.

"One realm is already quite impressive. Haha... As for others, they may not even comprehend one," Beardless Daoist Master laughed. It was a fact that some people wouldn't comprehend a single realm in half a year.

"Mentor, I have a question which I wish to seek your guidance on," Fairy Zixia said hesitantly and apprehensively.

"You're wondering why I stopped your comprehension of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique so quickly, right?"

Upon hearing this, Fairy Zixia's heart skipped a beat, thinking Beardless Daoist Master truly lived up to his rank among the top hundred on the Golden Immortal Ranking, nothing was hidden from him. She replied, "Yes."

"A woman's lack of talent is a virtue, Zixia. Have you heard of this saying? As a girl, being overly talented is not necessarily a good thing, but if you can marry a powerful man, it's absolutely a good thing," Beardless Daoist Master said, "Zixia, you are about to rise..."

The same words were spoken by Senior Sister Qingyue, and now by her mentor, making Fairy Zixia's heart skip a beat. She immediately realized she was likely to be noticed by a powerful cultivator.

Sure enough, Beardless Daoist Master said, "Zixia, you should be familiar with King of Eastern Mountain, right? The leader of the Eastern Mountain Tribe, he has taken a liking to you and wants to marry you..."

At these words, Fairy Zixia's heart sank, followed by a feeling as if she'd swallowed a fly.

King of Eastern Mountain, Great Luo Golden Immortal Ninth Liquid Realm, ranked fifteenth on the Golden Immortal Ranking, powerful and influential, but this King is over two hundred years old, not only old but extremely ugly, and is notoriously lustful, having a hundred women just in the Eastern Mountain Tribe and many more outside—countless women.

Now they say he wants to marry her, but truly, it's just taking her as a concubine. In Biluo Realm, there's not much difference between wives and concubines; those favored obtain everything, those out of favor mean nothing.

In Biluo Realm, men can freely marry wives and take concubines, with some powerful men having tens of thousands of women. (To be continued.
