Watching the two disappear, the Sixth Elder couldn’t help but feel helpless, ”1… am not good at dealing with women!”
Meanwhile, led by Mu Xingzhi, the two arrived at a newly developed peak on the outskirts.
Upon reaching a small courtyard, they saw the courtyard door slowly open, and an energetic-looking old man came out to greet them.
The old man wore a simple long robe with white hair and beard, exuding quite a bit of an immortal and scholarly air.
“My name is Ye Chenfeng, a Loose Cultivator. I have the honor to meet Master Li and Sect Leader Mu!” the old man said with a bow.
“Last night’s stars, last night’s breeze, Old Ye, that’s a good name!” Li Cheng casually remarked, sizing him up.
He was probably a Tribulation Loose Immortal; his aura was steady yet carried a trace of decline, as though his lifespan was not much longer.
Ye Chenfeng and Mu Xingzhi were both startled, seemingly caught off guard by the impromptu verse Li Cheng had just recited.
Coming back to his senses, Ye Chenfeng bowed again and laughed, “Not only is Master Li unparalleled in pills and formations, but I didn’t expect your poetry to be equally astonishing. I am truly impressed!”
Li Cheng waved his hand dismissively, “You flatter me, Old Ye. Let’s cut to the chase, shall we? I would like to know why you have sought me out.”
This scene caused Mu Xingzhi to look utterly astonished. Why was his junior uncle being so polite?
That wasn’t right. His junior uncle should be taking this guy down a peg, shouldn’t he? Had he misunderstood something before?
If that was the case, then those three items, they must indeed be treasures!
And they must have returned to their original purity, making them incredibly precious!
A hint of a smile deepened on Ye Chenfeng’s face. “The fact that Master Li has come indicates that you have discerned the significance of those items. My ancestors brought them out from a perilous place. I’ve visited it several times but could never delve deep inside.”
“There are powerful formations and powerful Demon Beasts there; danger abounds. 1 cannot explore it alone, so I was hoping to invite Master Li to accompany me!”
Before Li Cheng could speak, Mu Xingzhi rushed to say, “My apologies, Elder Ye, but my junior uncle’s Tribulation Crossing Stage is complete; he shouldn’t go to any dangerous places!”
Are you kidding me?
He was counting on Li Cheng to ascend as soon as possible. How could he risk going to dangerous places?
Ye Chenfeng was taken aback, then laughed, “With the terrifying strength Master Li displayed in the Artifact Sect, investigating that dangerous place would be like taking something out of one’s pocket. Sect Leader Mu worries too much!”
“Once we’re inside, what we can obtain will depend on our own abilities. 1 don’t think Master Li will decline!”
Mu Xingzhi frowned subtly, then said, “The grand event of the Hundred Sects is approaching. Junior uncle, what if we discuss this after the event?”
“It’s not the right time to explore such a place since we don’t know how long it will take.” Li Cheng nodded in agreement.
Mu Xingzhi breathed a sigh of relief. “Exactly, and besides, the rewards for this year’s Hundred Sects grand event include not only spots to enter the Immortal Mansion but also various prizes sponsored by the top ten sects, even the Hundred Calamities Commerce Union has sponsored mysterious rewards.”
“This event is sure to be unprecedented; it cannot be missed.”
The Hundred Sects grand event mainly involves various competitions among cultivators, not just in combat but also in the fields of pills, artifacts, formations, and talismans.
The event’s main purpose is to foster exchange, allowing cultivators from the Southern Domain to learn from each other and develop collectively.
Secondly, it’s also about the trade of various materials. At that time, the trade venue and auction house will witness countless precious treasures, dazzling all attendees.
“This… Master Li, exploring that place shouldn’t interfere with the Hundred Sects grand event!” Ye Chenfeng attempted to argue.
Mu Xingzhi took over the conversation, “But what if it does? All three of my junior uncle’s disciples are participating in the event. They would be very disappointed if my junior uncle missed it.”
Li Cheng nodded with a smile.
Ye Chenfeng still wanted to say something, but Mu Xingzhi would not give him the chance, interjecting, “Elder Ye, the Hundred Sects grand event gathers all the sects and forces from the Southern Domain, as well as Loose Cultivators; it is truly an assembly of distinguished individuals. Such a magnificent occasion should not be missed!”
“An assembly of distinguished individuals?” Li Cheng murmured to himself, his eyes lighting up.
Mu Xingzhi nodded, about to speak when he saw the excitement in his junior uncle’s eyes and suddenly felt a surge of anxiety!
Indeed, the Hundred Sects grand event would gather elites from the Southern Domain. Who knew how many talented individuals would appear!
“Little Uncle-Master, you’re not going to take another disciple on this trip, are you?”
Seeing the anticipatory look on Little Uncle-Master’s face, Mu Xingzhi felt he should be certain of it, Little Uncle-Master was definitely going to take a disciple!
It’s over!
This can’t be happening!
When will Little Uncle-Master ever stop taking disciples? It’s delaying the Tribulation Crossing too much!
He should have never agreed to hold the Hundred Sects Conference early, let alone invite Little Uncle-Master to participate!
It’s all his own doing!
Thinking it over, Mu Xingzhi glanced at Ye Chenfeng and a smile emerged on his face, “Elder Ye, The Hundred Sects Conference is not to be missed, but since you said exploring that place won’t delay the conference, you might as well go ahead!”
Mu Xingzhi added to himself: It would be best if you went for a few months and miss the conference!
Hm?
Ye Chenfeng looked at Mu Xingzhi, somewhat surprised. Why the sudden change of heart?
Mu Xingzhi was frantically signaling Ye Chenfeng with his eyes, the message was clear: go, quickly go, you must go!
Ye Chenfeng, observing Mu Xingzhi’s exaggerated facial expressions, pondered for a moment and then nodded, “The conference is only seven days away, and honestly, I can’t be sure I’ll finish exploring within seven days. Let’s wait until after the conference, it’s a good opportunity for me to see the conference as well.”
Damn?
Mu Xingzhi was stunned, you got the wrong idea!
“Hmm, let’s go after the conference,” Li Cheng spoke up.
With a smile on his face, Mu Xingzhi nodded in agreement, but his heart was bleeding.
But on second thought, Little Uncle-Master could refine Immortal Artifacts, such Artifact Refining Techniques were too precious to take to the Immortal World!
Indeed, he should find a successor!
If he could take on a disciple with a talent for Artifact Refining at the Hundred Sects Conference, that would be good.
Well, if he can’t find one, it won’t be long before Little Uncle-Master has to cross the Tribulation, which is even better.
No matter how you look at it, it’s a good thing!
With this in mind, he suddenly felt much more comfortable.
After saying goodbye to Ye Chenfeng, the two flew towards the Eighteenth Peak. Mu Xingzhi said, “Little Uncle-Master, what exactly are those three items? You seem very interested in their place of origin.”
“Those three items might look like ordinary objects, but they can all bear laws. As the Sect Master, do you know if there is anything similar in the sect?” Li Cheng asked.
Mu Xingzhi’s eyes widened, and he hurriedly shook his head, “There’s nothing like that in the sect, but generally, objects that can bear laws are made from innate materials. It seems that the place where these three items originate is extraordinary!”
“That’s not quite right either. If they were refined from innate materials, they would surely possess unimaginable power. But aside from bearing laws, those three items don’t seem to have any other powers, do they?”
Li Cheng nodded “Indeed, that’s why I’m curious and interested in that place.”
Mulling it over, Mu Xingzhi speculated, “Ye Chenfeng brought out these three items to entice Little Uncle-Master to that mysterious place. Could there be a trick to it?”
Li Cheng smiled, “He couldn’t see through the mysteries of those three items and didn’t understand their value. He gave them away simply because they came from that mysterious place, so there’s no deception involved.”
“To take a step back, what do you think his strength as a Tribulation Loose Immortal could do to me?” Li Cheng added.
That’s the advantage of not ascending; down here, we can act boldly and with confidence.
Were we in the Immortal World, with our current cultivation, we would have to live cautiously!
“That’s true, then I am relieved.. We’re here, Bliss Palace’s women are very troublesome to deal with, Little Uncle-Master, it’s all up to you now!”
