“Qianyu, what’s wrong?” Chen Wentian sent her a spiritual voice transmission.
He sensed something abnormal with her but he wasn’t sure what. Out of everyone present, he was probably the most in tune with her emotions. He didn’t want to interrupt Jasmine’s celebration just for one person but he couldn’t help but ask.
Wu Qianyu shook her head slightly and forced herself to smile, “It’s nothing, master. Sister Jasmine’s achievement has motivated me to train harder and cultivate more diligently. I was merely thinking of the things I should do after this banquet.”
The fact that he was concerned about her helped greatly assuage her feelings. She didn’t rely on anyone in this world except for one person and that was him. She gave him a real smile and rejoined the festivities.
He still wasn’t sure but dropped the subject. He had too many disciples and it was hard to find enough time for each of them.
After Wu Qianyu, it was the ice sisters’ turn to present their gifts. Li Yuechan went up first with a large batch of moonjade crystals from the mountains surrounding Glacier Palace. It was a rare mineral that could only be found on top of the highest and coldest peaks after absorbing moon energy from countless nights.
Few sects cultivated moonlight but it was still highly sought after as a spiritual treasure that could improve female physiques and mental energy. It just so happened that Jasmine’s Moonlit Sanctum required a large number of these crystals. Others didn’t know how to use them but for a Nine Tailed Moonlight Fox, they were the best things.Li Yuechan’s attitude toward Jasmine was far better than Wu Qianyu's. Li Yuechan had an unfaltering personality. It came from years of experience as the leader of her small group of sisters. Few things could shake her emotions which were smooth like a tranquil lake. She only viewed Jasmine with respect. There was no sense of competitiveness or crisis at all.
For the other four, Song Wushuang offered an array of white dresses of various designs. These were the most popular ones among the Glacier Palace disciples and were made from the finest ice silk. This way, Jasmine would have many different outfits to choose from instead of the plain white ones she always seemed to wear.
Xu Lanyi had brought a large amount of wine. There were too many so she only took out the best one. It was a concoction from Divine Blazing Mountain called Hundred Flame Flower. It was spicy and fragrant with a deep flavor. It had been aged for fifty years in the magma caves of the volcano and was known to fill one’s stomach with a fiery passion for a whole night.
Su Xue and Su Yue presented their gift together. They had prepared many snack boxes consisting of the best sweets and delicacies from Glacier Province and Divine Blazing Province. Some of the items were already on display for the banquet but there were far more that would be directly delivered to Jasmine’s den.
All five ice sisters had similar opinions of Jasmine. They respected and admired her. She was lower in rank in terms of discipleship but they didn’t see it that way. She was so far above them in terms of both strength and beauty. There was nothing to be jealous about.
Bei Yingluo, the eleventh disciple, had a similar outlook as the ice sisters. She was simply glad to be here, with a master that cared for her and so many amazing sisters. She brought the best delicacies of the southern desert. She even had her clan hunt down a few giant stone spiders. Everyone knew the easiest way to please Jasmine was to feed her and Bei Yingluo tried her best.
“And lastly, this is your new sister. She has only been with the sect for two months so you two haven’t met before.” Chen Wentian said happily.
Peng Lingxi stepped up to the middle. All eyes turned to her. Jasmine tilted her head as she studied this new arrival critically.
A plain gray outfit hung from Peng Lingxi’s body. Her long black hair flowed down her back. However, these features were common among both men and women. She was slender and her hips were narrow. From the rear, it would not be difficult to mistake her for a man. From the front, it would be difficult to do so due to the two soft bumps on her chest.
But most importantly, she had a face that could rival the most beautiful women of the subcontinent. It wasn’t a stretch to say that she could match up to Long Yifei with just her face and nothing else.
“Disciple Peng Lingxi greets Senior Sister Jasmine…”
It was Jasmine’s turn to feel jealous. She shot Chen Wentian the slightest frown and whispered, “You’re so good. When did you find the time to swindle this pretty lass?”
He ignored her.
“This is my gift, a treasure sword from the Tower of Swords which has been passed down for ten generations.” Peng Lingxi continued with a gentle smile, “Master has told me so many things about you. Being able to meet you today assuaged my doubts, that such a person could exist in this world. The subcontinent may be jealous of master because of Sister Long but if they were to find out about Sister Jasmine… I think that the entire male population and perhaps a small portion of the female population would throw up blood and pass out from jealousy!”
Jasmine snorted with laughter, “Too bad this guy is too stingy and won’t let me out of the house. Maybe I should make a run for it.”
“Hey!” Chen Wentian protested.
Peng Lingxi bowed, “Master, rest assured. I can tell from the way Sister Jasmine speaks and acts, her feelings toward you are true. You don’t have to worry about her running away.”
“Hey!” Jasmine protested.
Peng Lingxi laughed, “Sister Jasmine, we are all master’s women. There’s no need to hide such matters.”
“Hmph, who said I was his woman?” Jasmine huffed and crossed her arms.
By this point, the others also couldn’t help giggling and laughing. Peng Lingxi had a way with words that was a reflection of her cultivation path, straight and to the point just like a sword.
“Alright, alright. We can discuss these things in private.” Chen Wentian said quickly and then changed the topic. He didn’t want to start a catfight. “Since everyone has presented their gifts, Jasmine, it is your turn. Come on.”
Jasmine pouted at him but stood up. “Thanks to everybody for their thoughtful and amazing gifts. I don’t have anything to return the favor except for this…”
She raised her hand and a great amount of spiritual energy started to collect in her palm. It caused the candles to flicker and even gusts of wind to sweep through the hall. Eventually, a ball of bright light appeared that was like a miniature moon.
“This is my Lunar Blessing; I hope everyone will be able to use it and make great progress in their cultivation!”
With that, the moonlight expanded and covered everyone. All the women were gifted the most powerful Lunar Blessing to date. With Jasmine’s power at the Spirit King Realm, this moonlight ability would allow everyone more energy, stamina, recovery, and general improvement of all attributes whether it be their body, mind, or spirit. In addition to boosting their own abilities by ten to twenty percent, it would last for many months until all of the divine energy was used up.
“Thank you, Sister Jasmine!”
“Thank you!”
With these formalities out of the way, the wine began to flow and the party was underway. Although each disciple had their own thoughts and goals for the future, they were still united in sharing the joys of the moment.
