c1273: 735: Searching the Mountain_3

This exquisitely designed cave abode was specifically requested by his mother from the Sect, made exclusively for her only treasured son.

In her words, Jin Yicai was born noble, with an extraordinary bloodline. How could he possibly live in the same Disciple’s Residence as those ordinary disciples?

The beautiful female disciple from earlier was not a servant.

Rather, she was a genuine female disciple from a distinguished family within the Sever Gold Sect, possessing a top-grade Spiritual Root.

In the eyes of others, she was a "Heavenly Pride" who excelled in both talent and beauty, someone unattainable.

But in this cave abode, she was nothing more than a plaything to warm his bed.

Jin Yicai, blessed with a prestigious background and exceptional Spiritual Root, even had a private cave abode within the Sect.

Countless young ladies from middling distinguished families within the Sever Gold Sect harbored dreams of marrying into the Jin family, basking in its glory.

He didn’t need to do anything. Simply leaving the door to his cave abode slightly ajar at night...

Was enough for various stunning women to squeeze inside, climbing onto his bed to offer themselves willingly.

Even if they were discarded afterward, these women accepted it with pleasure.

Even the guiding female disciples were changed every few days.

These practices clearly violated the Sect rules.

And yet, the upper ranks of the Sever Gold Sect were aware but deliberately turned a blind eye.

A senior brother of the Sever Gold Sect felt a twinge of jealousy and resentment in his heart.

Before he’d been promoted by Jin Yicai or had even stepped foot through the door of his cave abode, he had no knowledge of these matters at all.

Only after witnessing them firsthand did he realize the supposedly pure and noble "Fairies" so revered in the Sect could stoop so low.

Those grandiose Sect rules, for some people, were nothing but a joke.

Fame and wealth could rot the human heart to such a degree.

The senior brother of the Sever Gold Sect felt both sour and hateful in his heart.

What he hated was not the greed of human desires or the corruption of fame.

What he hated was that none of this had anything to do with him.

But now, things were different. He had already aligned himself with Mr. Jin.

As long as he followed Mr. Jin, step by step, even if his background wasn’t great, he would eventually rise above others and step onto a grand path of success.

He could already faintly smell the fragrance of fame and glory.

That fragrance was so alluring, much like the powdery scent from the previously graceful female disciple, captivating his soul.

At this moment, a faintly arrogant voice came from within the room.

"Jin Gui, what’s the matter?"

The senior brother addressed as "Jin Gui" quickly gathered his thoughts and respectfully replied:

"The Taixu Gate is still causing trouble."

Dressed in luxurious golden-threaded robes, Jin Yicai, with a lazy expression, furrowed his brows upon hearing this.

Jin Gui continued: "They’re equipped with ’Gold-breaking’ Spiritual Artifacts. The ordinary disciples probably aren’t their match."

Jin Yicai sneered, "Gold-breaking Spiritual Artifacts? Foolish tricks..."

He nodded slightly, "Convey my message: have the direct lineage disciples of the Jin family who have trained in the Sever Gold Sword Jue to a satisfactory level and whose Sever Gold Swords have been forged to confront the Taixu Gate."

After speaking, Jin Yicai let out a cold snort. "Do they really think my Sever Gold Sect is a rabble?"

Jin Gui responded, "Understood."

Jin Yicai paused for a moment in thought, lifting his gaze slightly. "What’s the situation with the Monster Beasts?"

Jin Gui bowed his head slightly as he reported, "Following your instructions, we’ve captured seventeen types according to the catalog. The remaining types are scarce and still being sought..."

Jin Yicai’s expression turned displeased.

Noticing this, Jin Gui’s heart sank. He immediately said:

"Refining Demon Mountain is vast, with steep terrain and dense forests. Monster Beasts are numerous yet difficult to find, and recently the disciples of the Taixu Gate have been causing interference, hampering our operations..."

"Once we’ve dealt with the Taixu Gate disciples, within half a month, all the types will surely be captured!"

Only then did Jin Yicai nod. "Don’t disappoint me."

Jin Gui resolutely declared, "Young Master, rest assured!"

The room then fell silent.

Jin Yicai calmly sipped tea.

Jin Gui stood there respectfully, not daring to utter a word.

The room, opulent and extravagant, was filled with the lingering smoke from an incense burner.

An air of wealth and ease permeated the space.

Jin Yicai took a sip of tea, yet an inexplicable irritation stirred within him.
