Duan Yanran brought her daughter-in-law to a serene place on Emperor Mountain, surrounded by mountains and water.
"Yun'er, you cannot cultivate, but you can achieve eternal life; you have plenty of time, and Emperor Mountain is currently impregnable," Duan Yanran said, "Becoming the next mistress of Emperor Mountain will not be an easy task. You must command respect and instill fear; only then will you establish your own authority."
"The first thing to accomplish as the mistress of Emperor Mountain is to remain solemn; you must not let people discern your thoughts."
"This is the fundamental, or else if you are frivolous and joking, you will lack authority, making it difficult to earn their respect. Also, remember you are the mistress of Emperor Mountain. Be decisive and ruthless when necessary, upholding a stance that women are no less than men."
"Keep my words in mind now, and I'll teach you how to discern people through their appearance, then address their issues accordingly."
