"The first piece of leather armor is successfully inscribed!"

Qin Yang's eyes flashed with a hint of joy; today's condition was indeed good.

With a good start, Qin Yang continued with determination, proceeding to inscribe the Water and Thunder Rune Array on the rest of the leather armor.

Ultimately, among the twenty-five pieces of leather armor, the arrays on three of them failed, making them unusable, while the arrays on the remaining twenty-two pieces were successfully inscribed.

"Not bad."

Qin Yang's face was full of joy. After all, he had not yet developed Divine Sense, so achieving such a high success rate was commendable.

Next, the refining with True Fire commenced.

During the refining process, as the control of the heat was lacking, two pieces of the armor overheated and were destroyed.

Finally, a total of twenty pieces of Crocodile Leather Armor were successfully refined.

"Tsk tsk, twenty pieces of Crocodile Leather Armor."

Qin Yang stroked the soft and lightweight leather armor in his hands, his eyes full of joy. After a moment, Qin Yang cheerfully stacked these twenty pieces of leather armor and placed them into his backpack.

Due to the True Fire refining, the leather armor became very soft and light, so the twenty pieces didn't take up much space in the backpack.

"So tired."

Qin Yang stretched an arm, feeling a slight soreness throughout his body.

Within the day, he had first refined thirteen Beauty Pills and then twenty pieces of Crocodile Leather Armor, which indeed exhausted his Heart Power.

"Let's take a bath, then put on the refined Crocodile Leather Armor."

Qin Yang slung the backpack containing the Crocodile Leather Armor over his shoulder and left the stone chamber.

It was night, and the moonlight was cool like water.

The icy moonlight poured down from the sky, falling on the stone-paved plaza.

By this time, the night had deepened.

"I don't even know where the bathing place is."

Qin Yang raised his eyebrows thoughtfully as his gaze suddenly fixed, noticing two disciples in charge of night patrol passing by not far away.

"Greetings, Honorary Pavilion Master."

The two patrolling disciples hurriedly saluted upon seeing Qin Yang.

"Hmm, we ask you, where in our Celestial Sword Pavilion can one take a bath?"

Qin Yang nodded and then asked.

"Honorary Pavilion Master, near the northwest corner of the back mountain, there's a bamboo grove with hot springs suitable for bathing."

One of the patrolling disciples pointed toward the northwest corner and said.

Qin Yang nodded, directing his gaze in the direction the disciple pointed, indeed seeing a patch of bamboo grove there.

"Alright, you may go."

Qin Yang nodded again and said.

"Yes, Honorary Pavilion Master."

After the two patrolling disciples left, Qin Yang stretched lazily and began walking toward the direction of the bamboo grove.

In the bamboo grove, under the cover of night, there was an estate-like courtyard.

"This courtyard must be the place to soak in the hot spring, right?"

Qin Yang muttered, glancing at the entrance of the courtyard, just about to push it open when his gaze suddenly fixed, looking ahead.

Deeper into the bamboo grove, there seemed to be yet another courtyard, its premise vaguely dotted with peach trees, with peach blossoms fully in bloom under the moonlight.

"It's already May, yet the peach blossoms are blooming so profusely."

Qin Yang said in amazement, immediately stepping forward.

"Hmm? It's actually locked."

Qin Yang tried pushing the courtyard door but found it locked.

"Could it be there's another hot spring inside?"

Qin Yang cast a Wind Manipulation on himself, kicked off the ground with his toe, and leapt into the courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, peach blossoms danced in the moonlight, presenting a beautiful scene.

"Who would've thought that the Celestial Sword Pavilion had such a place."

Qin Yang murmured, stepping on the fallen peach blossom petals, and continued walking forward.

Shortly after, a hot spring surrounded by mountain rocks appeared in Qin Yang's sight.

This hot spring spanned several hundred square meters, its surface floating with peach blossom petals, with wisps of steam rising from it.

"It really is a place to soak in the hot spring."

Qin Yang said joyfully, taking off his clothes and jumping into the hot spring.

The water temperature was just right, and a warm, comfortable sensation spread throughout Qin Yang's body.

"How comfortable, this hot spring should be natural."

Qin Yang squinted his eyes, swimming in the hot spring for a while before resting his body against a rock.

The day's refining of the Beauty Pill and Crocodile Leather Armor had indeed taken a toll on Qin Yang. At this moment, soaking in the warm water, drowsiness swept over him, and Qin Yang gradually closed his eyes.

Just as Qin Yang was about to fall asleep.

Three figures passed through the bamboo grove, approaching the spot.

"Jian Xing, Sword Spirit, you two stand guard at the door."

Bi Luoyue, dressed in a verdant gown, her expression as serene and picturesque as the moonlight, instructed the two female disciples following behind her.

"Yes, Pavilion Master."

The two female disciples following Bi Luoyue responded respectfully.

Bi Luoyue took out a key, opened the door, and stepped into the courtyard where peach blossoms swirled.

In front of the hot spring, a green dress gently slipped off, followed by a pair of jade-like feet submerging into the water.

Upon hearing the sound of water, Qin Yang, who was asleep, twitched his eyelids and then opened his eyes.

Under the moonlit night, the hot spring was tranquil and clear, like a smooth mirror. However, at this moment, there was a slight ripple in part of the spring.

Also in the hot spring, Qin Yang, who was behind the rocks, looked towards the rippling waves, and his gaze suddenly became somewhat dazed.

A graceful and slender figure stood still in the water, with three thousand strands of black hair spread across the water like a waterfall.

"Is this...?"

Seeing this scene, Qin Yang suddenly felt his mouth go dry and his mind a little stalled. How could there be someone else bathing here in the middle of the night?

The woman in the hot spring had her back to Qin Yang, and in the moonlight, Qin Yang could faintly see a bit of her profile.

"Is it Bi Luoyue?"

Qin Yang's expression changed. Why is she also bathing here in the middle of the night?

Damn, I mustn't make a sound now. Although I didn't see much, if discovered, I'd probably be split in half.

"Luckily, the rocks are blocking me, and I'm in the shadow where the moonlight doesn't reach," Qin Yang thought with relief.

He saw Bi Luoyue's figure disappearing into the peach blossom forest.

"Finally gone."

Qin Yang exhaled a light breath. Even though he was a cultivator, holding his breath for half an hour was tiring.

"Who's there?"

In the peach blossom forest, Bi Luoyue's fair face changed, her steps halted, and a Cyan Peak Short Sword appeared in her hand. With a tip of her toe, her figure gracefully flew up, landing on the surface of the water.

She lightly tapped on the water surface again, the short sword in her hand gleaming coldly as it stabbed straight in Qin Yang's direction.

"It's me, don't come over."

Qin Yang smiled wryly. It seemed he had been discovered. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.

"Qin Yang?"

Bi Luoyue's coldly beautiful face drastically changed.

"This is a place for female disciples of the pavilion to bathe. How did you end up here?"

"What? The baths here are separate for men and women?"

Qin Yang was taken aback. When he walked in earlier, he hadn't noticed. Although the female disciples of the Celestial Sword Pavilion were few, it didn't mean there were none.

No wonder, there are two courtyards here, and this peach blossom-filled courtyard is deeper in the bamboo forest.

So it's for the female disciples of the Celestial Sword Pavilion to bathe, and the courtyard he saw earlier should be for the male disciples.

"Earlier, did you see everything?"

Bi Luoyue bit her red lips, her cold beautiful eyes staring at Qin Yang.

"Hmm? See what? I was asleep just now, didn't see anything."

Qin Yang scratched his head, feigning confusion. At this moment, he was praying in his heart, hoping to bluff his way through.

"Really saw nothing?"

Bi Luoyue's eyebrows arched, her face gathering a chill, her sword point aimed at Qin Yang. This guy actually came to the female disciples' bathing place to bathe, and even fell asleep, who would believe that!

"Maybe just a little..."

Qin Yang said.

"Qin Yang, you... if I don't kill you!"

Bi Luoyue's face was icy, but her heart was filled with both shame and anger. Although she was the Pavilion Master, she was still only in her early twenties.

Then, Bi Luoyue's toes pointed, and the Cyan Peak Short Sword in her hand stabbed directly at Qin Yang in the hot spring.

"Hey, wait a moment..."

Qin Yang's expression changed, kicking off the rocks in the hot spring, his body shot like a fish towards the shore. In no time, he put on the clothes thrown on the shore.

While Qin Yang was dressing, Bi Luoyue had already turned her back. After Qin Yang had dressed, the Cyan Peak Short Sword came attacking once again.

"Hundred-step Flying Sword."

Bi Luoyue let out a delicate shout.

Swoosh!

The Cyan Peak Short Sword flashed coldly, shooting violently towards Qin Yang.

"Damn, you're serious."

Qin Yang's expression changed, pinching a spell with his hand, a cyan water-pattern light shield appeared around him, blocking the Cyan Peak Short Sword.

The cyan water-pattern light shield caved in, and the Cyan Peak Short Sword bounced back.

"Who told you to behave so despicably."

Bi Luoyue caught the Cyan Peak Short Sword, her fair face no longer cold, but tinged with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance. She bit her silver teeth and said.

"I really didn't know this was for the female disciples to bathe. It's my first time here, I just saw the peach blossom hot spring and came in."

Qin Yang's mouth twitched as he hurriedly explained.

"Hmph, who believes you, even if what you said is true, today, no matter what you say, I won't spare you."

Bi Luoyue bit her red lips, her cold gaze fixed on Qin Yang, the Cyan Peak Short Sword in her jade hand flashed coldly, heading straight for Qin Yang.

Qin Yang was helpless, after all, he was in the wrong. He could only use the Wind Manipulation Technique on himself, his figure flashed, swiftly crossing the peach blossom forest, and darted outside.
