Chapter 15: The White Jade House
At the beginning of the morning, the sun was shining in the sky, turning the sky in the extreme east into a magnificent golden colour.
Ji Yue Nian slowly stopped, looking at the lofty outer walls of the ancient city of Tai Chu in the distance, his eyes were quiet.
Having travelled for more than two days, he was about to leave the confines of the Qing Luan Mountain Range and was not far from entering the area under the jurisdiction of the ancient city of Tai Chu.
Looking down at his torn and tattered silk robe, Ji Yue Nian shook his head slightly and raised his gaze to a small village a few miles ahead, where smoke was rising from the cooking pots, probably a place where many mundane people lived.
Although he could temporarily manifest his clothes by using his Profound Energy, he had not yet refined his Xuan Sea, so it would be too much of a waste of Profound Energy to use this method, so he might as well go to the village and find a suit for the time being.
“Why is Taoist sloppy like this?”
A somewhat surprised voice rang out from his ears.
Ji Yue Nian looked sideways and saw a young man in clean-looking Taoist robes walking out from the dense forest on his right, looking at himself with astonishment.
He was looking at himself with astonishment.
When he saw Ji Yue Nian’s silence, he took a few steps closer and said with a smile, “Could it be that you have also encountered some powerful ghosts and demons and have fled in haste when you were defeated?”
Ji Yue Nian shook his head slightly and said, “And why did you come here?”
Seeing that he was reluctant to answer, the young man did not pursue him, but sighed and said, “My master helped me to make a hundred ghost spirit streamer, but it was empty, so he told me to collect the ghosts and take them in. Only the sprites surrounding the Qingluan Mountain Range are the most numerous, so I came here alone to collect evil spirits. According to Master, this is also a kind of experience.”
He was dressed in a mysterious green Taoist robe, his body emitting a vague treasure light, and his body was full of solid Profound Energy, so it was obvious that he had already cultivated the Xuan Sea long ago.
Ji Yue Nian nodded and said, “There are indeed many ghosts here, and their cultivation levels are mostly at the level of Profound Realm, so as long as you do not continue to go deeper, with the magic treasures you carry, there will be little danger.”
“How do you know I have strong magic treasures?” The clean-shaven youth had an unworldly look on his face, “My name is Bai Yulou, I come from the Tai Yu Taoist Sect, I have not yet asked you for your name.”
The Tai Yu Taoist Sect is only one word away from the Tai Yu Ancient Sect, the most powerful sect in the Yuan Yan realm, but in reality it is as different as clouds and mud.
There are six mountains and three realms in the Taiyu Ancient Sect, each of which covers tens of thousands of miles of territory, with countless mountain peaks of all sizes and countless powerful beings.
Such a powerful sect as this, which has shaken a great land realm, is all-encompassing and does not have too many racial opinions. Although the majority of the sect is dominated by human beings, there are also many demons, spirits and monsters who enter the sect and once they are admitted, they are required to abide by the strictest of sect rules, which cannot be broken.
“My name is Ji Yue Nian,” Ji Yue Nian heard the words Tai Yu Taoist Sect and looked at Bai Yulou carefully again, “I only know the Tai Yu Ancient Sect, but I have never heard of this Tai Yu Taoist Sect.”
Bai Yulou looked a little embarrassed and waved his hand, “You don’t know, but many years ago, the Taiyu Taoist Sect was a branch of the Taiyu Ancient Sect, but it has since fallen into decline, so it is only gradually not recognised by the main sect.”
With these words, he seemed not to want to bring up this topic again, and took out a set of clothes with a wave of his sleeve and said with a smile, “Brother Ji, you are so beautiful and yet you are wearing such ragged clothes, the contrast is really a bit obvious.
Bai Yulou was using an extremely precious storage treasure.
Ji Yue Nian didn’t pretend to be a fool, it was just a piece of clothing, so he reached out and took it, saying softly, “Taoist friend has entered this mountain range alone, yet you are not even a little wary, it is also surprising.”
Bai Yulou seemed to be a bit proud of himself and shook the ring-shaped storage treasure on his wrist, saying, “I grew up in the Taoist sect since I was a child, this is the first time I have left the sect, but my sister has given me a spirit magic sword.
“Within this Taoist sect,” Ji Yue Nian hesitated for a moment and looked up at the Hundred Ghost Spirit Streamer that Bai Yulou was carrying behind him, “are you not the only one?”
“It is fine to call me Brother Bai, it is a bit strange to call me Taoist,” Bai Yulou smiled, “Brother Ji guessed it, there are only five people in the Tai Yu Taoist Sect, except for the Master, the rest are my brothers and sisters.”
Ji Yue Nian shook his head slightly, no wonder this Bai Yulou was so simple-minded, it turned out that apart from the few people within the Tai Yu Taoist Sect, Bai Yulou had hardly ever come into contact with others.
If it were any other being at the Upper Profound Realm, if he noticed that Ji Yue Nian’s cultivation level was only at the Early Profound Realm, and if he happened to have something lucrative on his body, he would probably strike out outright, without saying a single word.
“I don’t think you should change your clothes first,” Bai Yulou seemed to know what Ji Yue Nian was thinking and winked, “To be honest, I’m not without a sense of caution, but Ji’s cultivation level is too low to be a threat to me, so naturally I don’t need to be cautious.”
The first time I heard this, the thoughts in Ji Yue Nian’s heart moved slightly, and did not speak again, but changed the new clean Taoist robe in his hand, and flicked out a profound force, shaking the worn out silk clothes that replaced it directly into countless tiny pieces.
“People rely on clothes and look again like this. Brother Ji is really handsome.” Bai Yulou looked at the boy in Taoist robe with picturesque eyebrows in front of him, feeling a little in a daze for a while.

Although Ji Yue Nian was wearing an extremely simple Zhan Qing Taoist robe, it was clean and tidy, and his long, dark hair was scattered, making him look even more beautiful.
“Brother Bai is too kind,” Ji Yue Nian raised his head slightly and looked again at the Hundred Ghosts Spiritual Streamer that Bai Yulou was carrying, “It would be better for Brother Bai not to carry this Spiritual Streamer behind his back.”
Bai Yulou was stunned for a moment, took the spirit streamer off his back, held it in his hand and sensed it, then looked up and said, “Why did Brother Ji say that? There are only four ghosts inside this spirit streamer, and it is completely controlled by the forbidden formation inside the streamer, so there will not be any danger.”
The young man in the Taoist robe smiled and said, “Brother Bai should know the reason for this better than I do.”
For the first time, Bai Yulou’s gaze became somewhat grave as he flipped his hand and put the Hundred Ghost Spirit Streamer back behind his back, smiling, “Although Brother Ji only has the cultivation level of the Early Profound Realm, his eyesight is very tricky.”
