Chu Li asked, "How many are there?"
"Four."
"That's great. It's good that you're in the top five since it's five places to enter the mountain."
"Different rankings mean different statuses in the mountain," Li Ruolan said, "Otherwise, why would everyone fight for it?"
Chu Li was curious. "What's the difference?"
"The first place will stay at the peak, just like where you are now," Li Ruolan said, "The fifth place will stay at the foot of the mountain."
"What else?"
"The tasks assigned after entering the mountain will be different too. The first place will go to the Sutra Library while the fifth place will go to the Spirit Fields."
"The Spirit Fields aren't bad too."
"The Spirit Fields are the hardest." Li Ruolan shook her head. "There's a limit to how many Spirit Herbs there are in the fields. If there's a problem, you'll be held responsible. Most Spirit Herbs are delicate so it's easy for them to go wrong. You'll be worried every day."
"I'm good at growing flowers." Chu Li quickly said, "I used to grow flowers in Peace Town."
"Do you think the flowers you grow are the same as Spirit Herbs?" Li Ruolan scoffed. "They're not the same thing. Spirit Herbs are a hundred times more delicate than your flowers. There's always a problem. In short, not only will your experience not be beneficial, it'll be more harmful."
"So the first place can read all the books in the Sutra Library?" Chu Li asked.
"Of course." Li Ruolan nodded. "There's the cultivation experience of our ancestors which is very beneficial to cultivation. There are also countless unique skills. As long as you're not afraid of wasting your time, you can cultivate as much as you want."
Chu Li had a yearning look on his face.
Li Ruolan said, "If there's no such benefit, why would everyone want to be the first place? Some of them even delay it on purpose. "
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Li Ruolan continued, "Some of them have cultivated for more than ten years because they're not good at worldly affairs. Some of them have the ambition to be the first place. These people are persistent and hardworking. Their cultivation level will definitely surpass yours."
Chu Li smiled. "I have the Light Blade."
"The Light Blade isn't invincible." Li Ruolan said, "What if someone hits you before you can use the Light Blade? Your cultivation level is lower than theirs. Won't you be defeated in an instant?"
"I see …" Chu Li nodded slowly. "Alright, I'll start Isolated Cultivation today.
"Going into closed-door cultivation again?" Li Ruolan asked with a smile.
Chu Li said, "I want to get first place too!"
"You haven't settled the matters in Gale City." Li Ruolan said, "The Radiance Clan hasn't been built yet. You'll only be able to return and undergo isolated cultivation after it's built and officially opened."
"How troublesome." Chu Li shook his head.
Li Ruolan said, "These are the rules. Otherwise, everyone will be dissatisfied and it will be difficult to convince the masses."
"Alright, so I can only stay at Small Light Peak for three days?"
"Yes, I can only stay for three days."
"Then let me meditate for three days first."
"I'll come and greet you." Li Ruolan smiled and said, "You'll have to reopen the Radiance Clan before you can come back. You can't keep coming back."
"I know." Chu Li scoffed and closed his eyes.
Li Ruolan smiled and left.

Once Chu Li returned to Gale City, he went into isolated cultivation and left all the trivial matters to Kou Qiong and the other two.
The Radiance Clan's construction speed was very fast. They had also hired a group of people to work day and night. It would be completed in a month's time.
Chu Li felt pressured to fight for first place.
His opponents were people who had cultivated for ten years. They were also geniuses. Based on his cultivation speed, he would have to go into isolated cultivation if he wanted to achieve ten years of cultivation.
One morning, he woke up from his meditation and stretched his body. He decided to go out for a walk.
It would be inefficient to be so tense all the time. It would be faster to cultivate after relaxing and meditating.
The Phoenix Goddess Brothel was supposed to be the best place to relax, but it was morning and the Phoenix Goddess Brothel was closed.
Chu Li went to the biggest restaurant in the city alone — Nine Star Tower.
Nine Star Tower was located in the center of Gale City. It was towering as if it was connected to Outer Heaven.
Nine Star Tower was very lively in the morning. The citizens who had the time and money often came here for breakfast. They chatted as they ate to start their day.
The window seat on the third floor was already empty. He found a random seat and sat down. Then, he listened to the messy conversations of the people around him, wanting to listen to the gossip in the city.
"If the Radiance Clan is built, the city will be divided into four parts."
"What do you mean by four parts? The Radiance Clan will definitely dominate. Zhao Dahe is so powerful that the other three clans can't even breathe."
"I heard that Zhao Dahe is very ugly. Is that true?"
"Yes, very ugly."
"You really can't judge a book by its cover."
"Not many people have seen Zhao Dahe. He's quite a mysterious person."
"I heard that although he's ugly, he's a lecher. He's always pestering Miss Yue Ru of the Phoenix Goddess Brothel."
"Which man isn't lecherous? Especially someone like him."
"With his status, what woman can't he get?"
"Miss Yue Ru isn't an ordinary lady. She's the young brothel leader of the Phoenix Goddess Brothel. Not every man can get her. I heard that Miss Yue Ru likes the deputy clan leader of the Blazing Sun Clan."
"He's also a big shot."
Chu Li frowned and shook his head. He did not expect news of this to spread so quickly. He had become a laughing stock.
"The deputy clan leader of the Blazing Sun Clan is Lu Xiaofeng. He's extremely handsome. His appearance is ten times better than Zhao Dahe's. His martial arts skills aren't inferior to Zhao Dahe's either. Of course Miss Yue Ru would choose him."
"It's an advantage to have a good appearance."
"If I had a good appearance, girls would've pounced on me when I entered a brothel. I wouldn't even have to spend money!"
"Elder Sun, you should wait until your next life. Haha …"
Chu Li listened thoughtfully. He vaguely sensed that there was a conspiracy going on.
The person who spread the news was up to no good. He had plotted against the three clans. Could it be the White Tiger Sect?
He took a sip of wine and picked up a piece of beef to chew slowly.
"Who's Zhao Dahe!" Suddenly, a clear voice rang out.
Chu Li turned his head and saw a slender and beautiful young lady standing at the staircase of the third floor. She was wearing an apricot gown. Her eyes were bright and her facial features were exquisite.
She pointed at Chu Li and raised her voice. "Are you Zhao Dahe?"
Chu Li looked to his left and right.
Everyone followed the young lady's finger and saw Chu Li.
"Who? Who's Zhao Dahe?" Chu Li quickly asked.
The beautiful young lady approached him with light steps. She carried a faint fragrance with her. "You're Zhao Dahe! Why won't you admit it? "
The expressions of the people around Chu Li changed slightly. They felt uneasy.
They had been badmouthing Zhao Dahe earlier. He must have overheard them. They wondered if he would settle the score with them.
Rumor had it that Zhao Dahe was extremely domineering and overbearing.
Chu Li asked, "What brings you here, young lady?"
"Hmph, I'm here to challenge you!" The beautiful young lady stared at him. "Do you dare to accept my challenge?"
Chu Li scoffed and his expression darkened. "I have to accept anyone's challenge. Won't I die of exhaustion?"
