Laura Thompson smiled and said, "Yes, he has never even left the house, has good aptitude, and is willing to work hard at cultivation. In the future, he might even become an elite disciple."

The old man shook his head and chuckled, saying nothing more.

He had stayed here for over a hundred years and had seen geniuses with even better aptitude than Logan Carter. He just felt a bit sentimental, but didn't think much of it.

……

The journey was uneventful.

Led by the Grand Elder, Logan Carter arrived at a teleportation array in the corner of the valley, guarded by several disciples.

The teleportation array resembled an altar—a circular stone platform covered in strange carvings, with stone pillars standing on all sides. The pillars had many irregular hollows, specifically for placing spirit stones.

It was Logan Carter's first time using a teleportation array, and he was very nervous, but dared not show it for fear of embarrassment.

The outer sect disciples began placing the spirit stones.

"What kind of cultivation atmosphere do you want to join? Each peak has a different atmosphere depending on the personality of the teaching elder. Some are competitive, some are low-key and diligent, and some are often out on missions," the Grand Elder suddenly asked.

Logan Carter replied, "The low-key and diligent kind. I don't like lively places, nor do I like being in the spotlight."

The Grand Elder showed a strange smile and said, "Then I'll take you to Yuyou Peak first."

At that moment, the teleportation array activated, a strong light burst forth, making Logan Carter close his eyes.

Logan Carter felt a strong sense of weightlessness—if he were an ordinary person, he would definitely have vomited.

About three seconds passed.

Logan Carter opened his eyes, and before him were towering peaks reaching into the clouds, with a sea of clouds spreading out ahead. He felt as if he were standing above the clouds.

Beneath his feet was the teleportation array, and ahead was a stone staircase leading to a city.

This city was located on a low mountain. Compared to the surrounding eighteen giant peaks, it was a low mountain, but when Logan Carter looked down from the teleportation array, it was like a sheer cliff. Because of the swirling mist, he couldn't see the ground.

The city on the low mountain was very large. From the air, one could see many cultivators flying on swords, and even various fierce birds.

"That is the inner sect of the Yuqing Sect. Doing tasks, receiving salaries, it's all done here. You can also trade inside."

The Grand Elder began to introduce, his tone full of pride.

Logan Carter was also amazed. He had thought the Yuqing Sect was just a small sect like those in costume xianxia dramas, but he hadn't expected it to be so grand.

He even thought he had arrived in the Immortal Realm.

He had really underestimated the strength of the Yuqing Sect.

After all, he had spent the past twenty years in the herb garden, never venturing more than two miles from home. Calling him a caged bird was no exaggeration.

The Grand Elder waved his hand, and Logan Carter felt as if something was lifting him up, almost making him fall.

He looked down and saw a giant gourd appear beneath his feet.

"Stand firm. If you fall, even with your ninth-level Qi Refining cultivation, you'll die from the fall."

The Grand Elder laughed heartily, his laughter bold and unrestrained.

Logan Carter quickly used his spiritual power to attach himself to the surface of the gourd.

The giant gourd carried them toward the most remote of the giant peaks.

The other peaks all had disciples coming and going, but this one was particularly quiet.

"The teaching elder of Yuyou Peak is Fairy Ruby, whose cultivation is unfathomable. She likes to go into seclusion and cultivate, and prefers tranquility. That's why Yuyou Peak isn't lively. Plus, she doesn't allow her disciples to develop feelings or form Daoist couples, so there are very few disciples. The ones who stay at Yuyou Peak are basically all dedicated cultivators," the Grand Elder said with a smile.

Logan Carter raised his eyebrows and said, "Really? That's great!"

He was just afraid of being entangled by female cultivators!

After all, he was peerlessly handsome, with maxed-out charm.

The Grand Elder shook his head and chuckled.

[The Yuqing Sect Outer Sect Grand Elder has developed a favorable impression of you. Current favorability: 1 star]

A line of text appeared before Logan Carter's eyes.

He found it baffling.

Soon, they arrived at the palace complex of Yuyou Peak and flew straight to the main hall.

The Grand Elder stood before the main doors, his lips moving slightly, probably using a voice transmission technique.

Boom!

The doors opened.

The Grand Elder led Logan Carter inside.

The main hall was dim, but as they entered, the oil lamps on both sides lit up.

Logan Carter's gaze fell on the two figures meditating ahead.

Two female cultivators.

One of them wore a blue robe, her bearing dignified and her beauty stunning—she was likely Fairy Ruby.

The female cultivator behind her was probably a disciple. Her temperament and looks were not as outstanding, but she was still a beauty.

Fairy Ruby opened her eyes, her gaze falling on Logan Carter.

After approaching, the Grand Elder smiled and said, "This young man is named Logan Carter, a rogue cultivator with three spiritual roots, including the rare lightning root. On the way, I asked him, and he also prefers a quiet place to cultivate and doesn't want to be too high-profile."

Logan Carter bowed in greeting.

[Lily Foster has developed a favorable impression of you. Current favorability: 2 stars]

Already 2 stars?

So shallow.

Logan Carter secretly complained, feeling nervous inside.

This Yuyou Peak doesn't live up to its name—hopefully the female disciples aren't all wolves and tigers.

Fairy Ruby asked, "After joining this peak, I will not seek benefits for you. Everything depends on yourself. In terms of cultivation, I will not neglect to teach you, but if you slack off, I will expel you from the peak."

Logan Carter immediately promised, "As long as there are no orders, I can go into seclusion for a hundred years without leaving the house!"

"Really?"

"Absolutely true!"
