Martial Peak

Thunder Spirit Religion occupied one section of them.

After about an hour’s flight, the two came to the site of Bright Thunder Spirit Religion.

Landing atop one of the bigger mountain peaks, the air felt a bit chilly but overall the area was green and lush, with a rich World Aura circulating.
From the base to halfway up the mountain was a vast field of herbs that filled the air with a strong medicinal fragrance while from halfway up to the top there were a number of simple residences.

Duan Hai quickly said, “This place used to be the residence of an Alchemist Honoured Guest of my Spirit Religion, but he resigned as an Honored Guest a few months ago, so right now this place is unoccupied.
How is it? Would Honored Guest Yang like to live here? If you feel that this place is too simple, I can arrange for accommodations elsewhere in my Spirit Religion where the atmosphere is livelier.”

“No need, here is good,” Yang Kai nodded, quite satisfied with the location.
He wasn’t interested in socializing and having many people around would only be distracting, so being further from the crowd was more relaxing to him.

Hearing this, Duan Hai smiled and nodded, “Honoured Guest Yang really is focused on studying the Alchemic Way, I also originally thought you would prefer to live in a more populated place.”

“Oh?” Yang Kai stared at him curiously.

“Generally, our Honoured Guests prefer to live where the crowd gathers as they are chasing wealth, power, and fame.
These kinds of people, my Spirit Religion has never been too concerned about, but someone like Honored Guest Yang who wholeheartedly strives to improve himself will certainly have great achievements in the future and will inevitably be paid attention to by our Spirit Religion,” Duan Hai said with a smile, “Right, this is an Honored Guest’s token.
Please bring it with you at all times.
As long as you have this token, you can walk freely in my Spirit Religion, with the exception of a few forbidden areas that is.”

Saying so, he handed a dark coloured token over to Yang Kai.

Yang Kai accepted it and looked it over briefly before storing it away.

“I will send someone to assist you later.
If you have any needs, you can inform me through them or allow them to handle it for your directly.”

Yang Kai nodded slightly.

“Honoured Guest Yang, if this is nothing else, this one will take his leave first,” Duan Hai asked Yang Kai politely.

“For now, I have nothing else to ask.”

Duan Hai nodded slightly before activating his movement skill and quickly departing.

After Duan Hai left, Yang Kai released his Divine Sense and explored the surrounding area.

This mountain peak was not too high, but also not too short, about two thousand meters in total.
Standing at the top of the peak, surrounded by white clouds, it was just like floating in a fairyland.

[This place really isn’t bad,] Yang Kai thought to himself with a smile on his face.

According to Duan Hai’s words, from now on, before he resigned as an Honoured Guest, this mountain would belong to him.
Of course, the spirit grass and spirit medicines on the mountain were the property of Bright Thunder Spirit Religion.

Yang Kai first walked around the mountain, examining the expansive herb garden, soon discovering that these herbs were all healthy and growing prosperously and didn’t need him to personally tend to them.
Obviously there were other people responsible for their care.

Atop the mountain peak, there was a rich and pure World Aura that was very suitable for cultivation.

After checking out his own peak, Yang Kai began wandering around the nearby mountains.

Among the nearby peaks lived a number of Honoured Guests of Bright Thunder Spirit Religion, each of them an Alchemist, so they had many common topics of discussion.
After learning that Yang Kai was actually a Spirit Grade Low-Rank Alchemist, those Honored Guests were quite surprised, many of them even showing him looks of awe and respect.

Yang Kai also learned a lot about Bright Thunder Spirit Religion from his chats with them.

In general, this Sect was a decent one.
Just as Duan Hai had told him before, the treatment of Honoured Guests here was generous.
If an Honoured Guest wanted to leave, they would not try to strong arm them into staying and instead see them off courteously.

Moreover, every Honoured Guest would be assigned a dedicated helper, and those helpers, without exception, were all young, beautiful women.

As they spent most of their time in secluded study, these Alchemists naturally had need of such distractions to help them relieve their stress.
These helpers were sent by Bright Thunder Spirit Religion to assist these Alchemists and to meet any ‘other’ requirements they might have.

These helpers also willingly accepted this task and could even be said that there was fierce competition within Bright Thunder Spirit Religion to become a dedicated servant of an Honoured Guest.

After all, Alchemists had distinguished identities, so gaining the favour of or even becoming married to an Alchemist was naturally something these young beauties hoped for.
At the very least, these mountain peaks were amongst the best places to cultivate in the Sect.
In the more crowded regions, with so many people gathered together, the World Energy was obviously less abundant whereas here it was the exact opposite.
As long as one cultivated here, their strength would improve rapidly, and by being close to an Alchemist, one could also not be lacking useful pills as well.

This abundance of benefits naturally aroused people’s interest.

Yang Kai spent two or three days touring around his new residence and had visited with a lot of his peers, mixing in with them fairly well.
He also obtained a much better understanding of how Bright Thunder Spirit Religion operated and just how grand and wealthy a force it really was.

The forces back in the Central Capital were really incomparable to it.
Not only was there a massive gap in terms of the pure cultivation realm of the masters here, whether it was the concentration of World Energy, material wealth, Secret Arts, or Martial Skills, this minor Sect from Tong Xuan Realm was far ahead of the Central Capital’s Eight Great Families by multiple grades.

Recognizing this gap, Yang Kai couldn’t help but feel a bit listless.

Three days later, Yang Kai finally returned to his new home.

When he came to his peak though, his expression changed slightly because he realized that a new aura had appeared in one of the previously empty houses.

[Has the helper Duan Hai said would come arrived already?]
