The grandfather and grandson were talking when suddenly a light appeared in the distance.

The light stopped beside them, and it was two old women.

Elder Mei did not stand up, but Immortal Mei had to stand and greet the two old women: "Disciple greets Third Elder and Fifth Elder."

The leading Third Elder nodded, scanned over Immortal Mei, and said: "Xian'er looks the most like your grandmother. Every time I see you, I can't help but think of my senior sister."

After the opening remarks, Third Elder asked Elder Mei: "Tomorrow is the Heavenly Maiden Festival, also the day when the Sect Master comes out of seclusion. Would you not come to the peak for a gathering, senior brother?"

Elder Mei said: "Though I am in the sect, I do not concern myself with sect affairs. As for the matter of selecting the Holy Maiden at the Heavenly Maiden Festival, you can take charge of that. I will not join in the bustle."

Third Elder did not insist, as the whole of Dongzhou upheld the notion of valuing women over men, especially in the Goddess Sect.

This directly resulted in Elder Mei having little say in the sect.

Moreover, his character was such that he didn't like to be responsible for affairs, so the sect had long been accustomed to Elder Mei's non-participation.

"I came for another matter."

Third Elder spoke:

"Yu'er is about to enter the Fairy Cave and is lacking the General Stone. I heard that after senior sister passed away, she left a General Stone for you, senior brother?"

Third Elder did not finish, but Elder Mei already understood her meaning, thus directly said: "You are late, junior sister. I've already used the General Stone."

Without Third Elder needing to speak, the Fifth Elder behind her said:

"Xian'er hasn't even entered the Fairy Cave, who could you possibly have used the General Stone on? I think you're just being stingy, unwilling to give the General Stone to the third sister, right?"

Elder Mei did not get angry upon hearing this but calmly explained:

"You two junior sisters should look at the Fairy Cave, you should know the situation—I've lent the General Stone to a friend of Tian Lin from the Ask Way Sect."

"Who is Tian Lin?" Third Elder asked her nearby Fifth Elder with curiosity.

Fifth Elder had heard of Tian Lin but still doubted, and asked Elder Mei: "Wasn't Xian'er supposed to marry the son of Sixth Junior Sister, how could such an important thing like the General Stone be given to an outsider?"

Beside them, Immortal Mei couldn't hold back anymore, angrily said:

"Who said I was going to marry the son of Sixth Elder? Besides, the General Stone was left to me by my grandmother. It's up to me who I give it to, it's not for others to dictate."

"How dare you! Your grandmother was our sect sister, and we are your elders, how would we not have the right to oversee you?"

After reprimanding, Fifth Elder turned to Elder Mei:

"Senior brother, I cannot blame you. What is so great about that Tian Lin from Ask Way Sect, that you made Xian'er hold a sword for him and gave him the General Stone? Isn't it a waste?"

Her words just finished when a bell from the peak echoed again.

Immortal Mei froze, and Fifth Elder also fell silent.

"Could it be that the person named Tian has passed the first trial?"

Third Elder looked at Elder Mei, but he did not respond.

The second trial was to comprehend Divine Skills; for cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm, it's very difficult to master even a low-grade Divine Skill to the Perfect Realm within a month.

At least as far as Elder Mei knew, none of those so-called geniuses in the Foundation Establishment Realm he knew had such a comprehension speed.

Therefore, he didn't believe Tian Lin could comprehend a low-grade Divine Skill in just a month inside the Fairy Cave.

"Apart from Tian Lin, who else is passing the Fairy Cave trial?"

Elder Mei looked at the Golden Core cultivator guarding the entrance, who promptly replied: "Besides the two sect disciples from Kaiyuan Island, there are also several disciples from Duolun Island. Overall, there are more than ten—

These disciples were all punished to enter the Celestial Cave—by the way, a Joyful Union Sect disciple also went into the cave."

"Who is it?"

The Golden Core cultivator replied: "It's a female disciple named Zhao Henshui from Joyful Union Sect. She entered the cave only half a clock before Tian Lin from Ask Way Sect."

Elder Mei shook his head and looked towards Third Elder, but both Third Elder and Fifth Elder shook their heads.

Apparently, neither of them had heard of this name.

"This Zhao Henshui was brought by Elder Yu from Joyful Union Sect. She's said to have great cultivation talent."

After saying this, the Golden Core cultivator suddenly looked up to the sky.

Everyone followed and saw a middle-aged woman approaching from afar.

The middle-aged woman had a fragrant aroma on her, which was intoxicating to anyone, male or female.

Elder Mei waved his sleeve, bringing the flushed-face Immortal Mei back to lucidity instantly. However, the Golden Core cultivators at the entrance, lacking someone to watch over them, immediately appeared disgraceful.

Some were drooling and pouncing towards Elder Yu, while others boldly removed their pants, heading towards the middle-aged woman.

Elder Mei remained indifferent, but Third Elder and Fifth Elder, the two old women, were intolerant.

Third Elder slapped the stone table and reprimanded: "Shameful, how disgraceful!"

That slap brought the Golden Core cultivators guarding the entrance back to their senses.

But the leading Golden Core cultivator, a male cultivator, was most deeply ' poisoned,' still rushing toward the middle-aged woman.

Fifth Elder was enraged, striking the Golden Core cultivator fiercely on the chest.

With the strike, she sent the Golden Core cultivator flying, instantly dead.

The middle-aged woman ceased releasing fragrance, speaking to Fifth Elder:

"Fifth senior sister, the love between men and women is natural, why get angry? If your sect disciples wish to sleep with me, I could accept that."

Fifth Elder's face darkened, looking at the coquettish middle-aged woman, angrily said:

"This is Goddess Sect, not your Ask Way Sect. If you wish to be promiscuous, you can do so outside of Goddess Sect, but do not corrupt our sect disciples here."

Elder Yu said: "Fifth sister, there you go again getting angry. Alas, sister has told you many times, women should not get angry easily. Anger makes one ugly and causes wrinkles."

The Third Elder couldn't stand it any longer, said: "Yu junior sister, did you come to see the one named Zhao Henshui or to seduce men here?"

"Indeed, I came to see my daughter."

The middle-aged woman smiled with pleasure: "My daughter has been in the Fairy Cave for quite some time without any movement. Unexpectedly, the sect's bell rang twice for her during this time."

Third Elder frowned: "Zhao Henshui is your daughter? Since when did you have another daughter?"

The middle-aged woman excitedly said: "I have so many daughters and sons I can't even count, but this daughter has the best talent, and I love her the most—indeed, I just took her into the Immortal Cave."

Third Elder said: "Since she's your daughter, aren't you worried she might die inside the Immortal Cave without staying at the entrance?"

The middle-aged woman said: "I don't have a General Stone to give her, if she encounters danger inside, I cannot save her. Given this, why should I stay at the entrance?

Furthermore, she entered your sect's Fairy Cave. To repay this favor, she must offer her sect's Fairy Cave for your Goddess Sect people to enter!"

Third Elder did not understand, but Fifth Elder grasped it immediately.

Unable to resist, she cursed: "Harlot, truly disgracing women."
