The two of them finally arrived at the peak of the mountain.
A small thatched cottage was built at the peak.
Flowers and plants were planted around the cottage, and it was surrounded by railings. Farming tools such as hoes and plows were hung on the walls. It was an excellent place to live in seclusion.
The two of them arrived in front of the cottage.
"This is where you'll be cultivating in isolation." Li Ruolan let go of him and pointed at the cottage.
"I'll live by myself?" Chu Li frowned. "Do I have to cook by myself?"
"Two meals a day. Someone will send them over," Li Ruolan replied.
"That's good …" Chu Li sighed in relief.
Li Ruolan said, "You don't know Light-body Technique now, so don't even think about going down the mountain."
"I can't go down the mountain?"
"If I can go down the mountain, it won't be considered as cultivating in isolation."
"Is there anyone else on the mountain?"
"Nope."
"There's no one to talk to …"
"Focus on cultivating!"
"… Alright." Chu Li nodded helplessly.
Li Ruolan said, "I'll come here once a month to check on your progress."
Chu Li immediately smiled in surprise.
Li Ruolan's tense face relaxed when she saw him so happy. "If you want to become an inner mountain disciple, you must reach the Grandmaster's Boundary as soon as possible. If you want to become a Priest, you must give your all and not slack off!"
"Miss Ruolan, don't worry. I'll work hard to cultivate!"
"That's good. I'll be leaving."
Li Ruolan waved her hand and glided away like a white cloud. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the depths of the clouds.
Chu Li turned to look at the small cottage.
It was a very small cottage. Instead of the usual main hall, bedroom, and study, there was only one bedroom.
The wind was like a knife cutting his face. However, the flowers and plants inside the railings bloomed in the wind, displaying their exuberant vitality. He felt a sense of familiarity and could not help but activate the Life and Death Scripture.
The spiritual energy around him was cold and pure. This was indeed a blessed place for cultivation. No wonder it was called Small Light Peak. It seemed like he was treated well.
He walked along the gravel path to the cottage. When he opened the door, he was instantly greeted by a warm breath.
He looked around in surprise.
The layout of the room was extremely simple. There was a stone couch and a stone table with a few books on it. Apart from that, there was nothing else. It could be said to be simple and crude. Living here must be extremely boring.
The warmth in the room came from the stone bed and the stone table. They constantly emitted heat, making the room as warm as spring.
Chu Li nodded in satisfaction. This room was indeed suitable for isolated cultivation.
The house was small and simple, but the heart was peaceful and warm like spring. If one didn't want to leave the house, if one didn't want to leave the house, then one's heart would be at ease and would not disperse.
He sat in the house, and everything within a radius of six miles was shrouded in light. He could see every place clearly, the flowers, the rocks, and even the insects under the rocks and the animals in the forest.
He did not feel lonely at all.
His current thoughts were completely focused on the Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture and the Great Light Scripture.
After going through so much trouble, he finally learned the Great Light Scripture.
The Great Light Scripture was indeed a miraculous scripture. If he could cultivate the Divine Light Body, his speed would be faster and there would be many benefits. He had to cultivate it no matter what, so he did not want to waste any more time.
His mind entered the void of his mind. Two Buddhas, who were larger and taller than Small Light Peak, were sitting on lotus flowers. Their hands were forming a seal and they were chanting Buddhist scriptures. The Buddhist scriptures turned into lotus flowers that fell on the bodies of the two Buddhas, making their bodies more solid.
He completely forgot himself and did not know the passage of time.

In the evening, the setting sun dyed Small Light Peak red.
A grey-robed elder fluttered over with a purple wooden box in his hand. He looked like a leaf that had been blown to the peak by the wind and arrived outside the thatched cottage.
He placed the purple wooden box outside the thatched cottage very softly, as if he was afraid of being heard by the people inside the cottage. Then, he turned around and fluttered away.
The next morning, he returned with another purple wooden box and picked up the original wooden box.
He was stunned when he picked it up.
He had been delivering food to the outer mountain disciples for several years, so he was very sensitive to the weight of the box. He could tell how much the owner of the thatched cottage had eaten and how much he could eat by looking at the weight. He did not need to open the box himself, but this time, he put down the box and opened it.
There were three layers inside, four dishes, one hot pot, and one bowl of rice.
It was obvious that the owner of the thatched cottage had not eaten. Was there no one?
He moved closer to the window and through the translucent glass, he saw a motionless young man in white sitting on the couch.
He knew that the other party must have been so immersed in his cultivation that he did not realize that he was hungry.
It was not surprising for these geniuses to have such a thing happen. He picked up the box and left quietly without disturbing the owner.
When he returned in the evening, he realized that the food had not been touched. He frowned and quietly put on a new one before leaving quietly.
By the evening of the third day, the food was still untouched. He had not eaten or drunk anything for three days.
He did not have the right to open the door and could not disturb the owner's cultivation. Otherwise, he would be severely punished. He did not dare to do anything even if he was worried. He could only put on a new box and take the untouched one away.
On the evening of the fourth day, when the sun was about to set, Li Ruolan, dressed in a fluttering white robe, personally came to the thatched cottage with the food box.
She gently pushed the door open and found Chu Li sitting cross-legged on the stone couch with his hands in a mudra. His expression was kind and solemn. His originally ugly face was no longer as ugly as it used to be. His temperament was calm as if nothing could shake him.
She came closer to observe him and found that his body was slightly cold. His heartbeat was slow and there was a long interval between his breaths. It was ten times slower than an ordinary person.
Her charming eyes widened slightly as a look of surprise appeared on her face.
Then, she felt a little envious and sighed to herself.
Zhao Dahe, on the other hand, had entered a deep state of meditation. This was a state that many people dreamed of, but it was usually impossible. She did not expect him to achieve it in one go!
It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a genius for achieving this state in his first cultivation and that he could cultivate for four days at a time!
The Great Light Scripture consumed a lot of energy. Now that she had reached a high level of attainment, she would be exhausted after twelve hours of cultivation and would not be able to continue.
Her aptitude was excellent. She became a patrol at such a young age and was considered one of the best. Her future was limitless.
Under normal circumstances, an inner mountain disciple would reach their limit after cultivating for six hours. They would not be able to concentrate and continue to visualize, so they could only recover through sleep.
A deep state of meditation was an extreme state that could only be encountered by chance. Cultivating in this state for two hours was equivalent to twenty hours.
Zhao Dahe cultivated in a deep state of meditation for three days and three nights, which was equivalent to four months of cultivation for others. It was shocking.
Moreover, he was cultivating two scriptures at the same time. His speed was at least twice that of others, which was equivalent to eight months.
If he were to do this two more times, it would be equivalent to a year of cultivation for others!
Li Ruolan initially thought that he would need at least five years to reach the Grandmaster's Boundary. Now, it seemed that if he continued to cultivate like this, he would be able to achieve it in less than a year. This would definitely be shocking!
Thinking of this, she felt inexplicably excited.
She stepped back gently, afraid that she would disturb Chu Li and wake him up. She quietly left the thatched cottage and stood in front of the path for the entire night.
The next morning, when the grey-robed elder appeared again, Li Ruolan was already awake. She gestured with her lily-white hand to signal him to be gentle and not make any noise.
