Li Yundong never imagined the beautiful receptionist before him was also a cultivator, let alone his fan! He chuckled dryly, "Do cultivators chase celebrities too?"

The receptionist shot a quick glance at Mrs. Li beside her, then smiled slyly as she lowered her voice conspiratorially, "Cultivators are still human beings with the right to like things and pursue them. We just focus on different passions than ordinary folks."

"Care to elaborate?" Li Yundong asked with amusement.

She giggled, "While commoners obsess over stars or international celebrities - trivial matters in our eyes - we cultivate people's admiration for prodigies across sects: the dashing martial artists and formidable beauties emerging from each lineage." Her excitement grew as she spoke, eyes sparkling like twin moons, "My first idol was Senior Brother Du. Though his cultivation wasn't top-tier, he earned half our sect's income through sheer business savvy - a rare combination in our world!"

Li Yundong nodded with a smile, "Master Du indeed has remarkable talents."

Her hands fluttered to her chest like a damsel in distress as she continued, "But then came Zhang Cunyi from Mount Qingcheng at thirteen years old mastering the Three Sovereign Sword... And what a good-looking genius! Next was Master Zhang Tianhe of Zhengyi Sect..." Her voice trailed off dramatically.

Li Yundong's smile grew wry, "You shift idols awfully fast."

She waved her hand dismissively, "Wait till you hear about Princess Zi Yuan from Linggong Sect - she shattered all female cultivation records while being breathtakingly beautiful!"

At this, Li Yundong's chest swelled with pride. "Indeed, Her Grace's ethereal beauty defies mortal comprehension."

The receptionist suddenly turned starry-eyed toward him, "But then YOU emerged! Your victory at Tianlong Mountain against Master Yu Yang and Princess Zi Yuan was the biggest news in two decades! And defeating Miss Zhang Ling from Zhengyi Sect..."

Her breathless monologue continued until the other wealthy matrons nearby began wincing. Mrs. Li's face paled as she realized their guest must be someone of monumental importance.

Li Yundong finally raised a hand to stop her, "Your idol worship cycles are impressively short - proves cultivation talents rise and fall rapidly. I wonder how long my tenure will last?"

She giggled like wind chimes in the breeze, "You're simply delightful!"

The elevator chimed suddenly. A booming voice followed: "Sister Wei, what's got you smiling so brightly?"

The entire hall reverberated with his voice as if amplified by megaphones. Li Yundong instinctively stiffened - sensing an unprecedentedly potent aura.

From the lift emerged a short man in black tunic and white cloth shoes. Though only 160cm tall, his eyes burned like twin fireballs. Every glance forced people to look away reflexively.

"Senior Brother Yue Sheng!" Sister Wei greeted warmly, "Come just in time! Do you know who this is?"

The man's gaze narrowed into piercing slits directed at Li Yundong. Instantly, Li Yundong felt searing pain behind his eyes - as if knives had pierced his pupils!

Though most cultivators naturally possessed sharper vision through enhanced liver function, this man had transcended mere physicality. His gaze carried lethal intent.

Li Yundong, whose golden core body made him stronger than ordinary cultivators in every organ including the eyes, still recoiled from the assault. "If a commoner were to receive such a glare," he mused, "their vision would be permanently blinded."

But what truly shocked Yue Sheng was Li Yundong's reaction - merely blinking before resuming normalcy.

"Impossible!" Yue Sheng thought. For over two decades, his eyes had been painstakingly trained through Zhengyi Sect techniques: staring at the sun for four hours daily while applying elixirs to enhance vision. His gaze could blind ordinary cultivators instantly.

Yet this man showed no reaction!

He bowed respectfully now, "Honored to meet Grandmaster Li of Tianlong Mountain."

Li Yundong returned the bow humbly, but Sister Wei's catty remarks continued: "See? Even Brother Yue can't compete with my new idol!"

Yue Sheng maintained his respectful facade while glancing at Li Yundong with obvious resentment. As they conversed, Mrs. Li suddenly protested, "Why is he allowed in when I'm not?"

Yue Sheng sneered, "You should wait for your appointment like everyone else."

When Li Yundong entered the elevator alone, it was flooded by curious female staff members who had to compose themselves upon seeing his striking profile. As more secretaries joined them on the fifth floor, their usual chatter died instantly - replaced by silent admiration.

Just as Li Yundong reflected on how similar this was to previous encounters with women at Caokafei's building, a stealthy finger suddenly shot toward his Quchi acupoint!
