Chapter 289: Chapter 277: The Eleventh Grade Immortal Pill, Reunion with Tang Ling’er! (4K)_2
“Let’s go meet him.”
Tang Ling’er beckoned with her jade finger, drawing her sword from its sheath and taking to the skies on her flying sword, heading towards the place where the people of Mount Shu resided.
At this moment, Shen Xiaoyao was receiving a power-infusing initiation from Lu Changsheng.
[Ding, you have transmitted 5000 days of Heavenly Cultivation to your disciple Shen Xiaoyao. Shen Xiaoyao actually received 800 days of cultivation. You have received the disciple instruction reward of a hundredfold return: 80000 days of Heavenly Cultivation.]
Lu Changsheng suddenly had an additional eighty thousand days of Heavenly Cultivation, and within his Qi Sea, a tremendous surge of spiritual energy emerged.
Lu Changsheng could step into the sixth level of the Unity Realm at any time.
“Master will be in seclusion for a while.”
“Disciple takes his leave.”
Seeing that his master was preparing to enter seclusion just before the battle, Shen Xiaoyao, accustomed to this, took his leave with several eighth-grade Elixir Pills bestowed by his master and proceeded to cultivate on his own.
The 800 days of power transmitted by Lu Changsheng were enough for Shen Xiaoyao to refine for some time.
The 800 days of cultivation strength from a fifth-level Unity Realm expert were extraordinarily vast.
“Shen Xiaoyao?”
“Is it you?”
A familiar voice rang out, and Shen Xiaoyao looked up to the diagonally above, where a woman of breathtaking beauty, with an ethereal temperament, was sitting by the wall, and beside her stood a girl in green clothes.
“Do you still remember me?”
Tang Ling’er noticed that Shen Xiaoyao had undergone a transformation in temperament, his features becoming even more handsome and dashing, his clear eyes filled with a touch of appreciation.
What surprised Tang Ling’er even more was that Shen Xiaoyao had indeed become a Void Refinement Realm expert and was on the path to enter the Unity Realm, with hopes of ascending to the Immortal Realm.
“Of course, I remember. I, Shen Xiaoyao, owe you a favor. If there’s anything you need, I will definitely repay you. The condition is that it must not harm the principle of righteousness.”
“Pfft, are you still intent on repaying the favor? Do you know who I am? If I ask you to repay the favor, I’m afraid you simply won’t be able to.”
“I know, you are the Supreme Elder of the Star Pavilion, right? I am a Supreme Elder of Mount Shu—our cultivations are similar, so if you encounter trouble, I think I might be able to help.”
Over the last hundred years, Shen Xiaoyao had received dozens of Immortal Artifacts and countless eighth-grade Elixir Pills from Lu Changsheng.
Although Shen Xiaoyao only had the cultivation of the fifth level of the Void Refinement Realm, he possessed the capability to fight across levels.
Tang Ling’er’s cultivation seemed comparable to his own, so any enemy she faced, Shen Xiaoyao should be able to handle as well.
Tang Ling’er’s lips curved into a slight smile. “Do you know that I am the daughter of the Star Pavilion’s Pavilion Master? There are numerous Supreme Elders within my sect willing to help me with my troubles. Why would I need your help?”
“This…”
Shen Xiaoyao was stunned.
He had never imagined that Tang Ling’er was actually the daughter of the Sect Leader of the most prominent Sect in Zhong Zhou!
The Star Pavilion had countless strong cultivators, with the number of Unity Realm experts being in the double digits. If anyone dared to bully Tang Ling’er, the mighty of the Star Pavilion would swarm out, reducing the offender to ashes, and even digging up their ancestors eighteen generations back?
In that light, Tang Ling’er truly did not need Shen Xiaoyao to repay any favor.
“What do you say?”
Tang Ling’er smiled, her eyes curving up, curious to see Shen Xiaoyao’s reaction, wondering how he would respond.
Shen Xiaoyao scratched his head. “Although I’m not able to help you now, I will cultivate diligently. As soon as I reach Great Accomplishment in the Unity Realm, I should be able to help you then, right?”
“It seems you are quite confident in yourself.”
Seeing Shen Xiaoyao’s steadfast Dao heart, Tang Ling’er’s admiration grew deeper.
For some reason, Tang Ling’er found that when she was close to Shen Xiaoyao, her Pure Yin Body absorbed the nature’s spiritual energy faster.
The legacy of the Star Tower has two forms: one suited for a Pure Yang Body and one for a Pure Yin Body.
The Pure Yang Body and the Pure Yin Body complement each other; with yin and yang harmoniously blending, a natural attraction exists between these two constitutions.
Lu Changsheng was currently setting up a formation to shield his aura, preparing for a breakthrough in the final period before the commencement of the grand assembly in Zhong Zhou.
Suddenly, the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator responded.
[Ding, the system has searched for a suitable disciple candidate… One has been found.]
[Ding, the disciple candidate identified by the system is named Tang Ling’er.]
[The system is loading the information of the other party.]
[Name: Tang Ling’er]
[Race: Human]
[Talent: Pure Yin Body, Water Spirit Root, Innate Spirit Vein, Quick-witted and Clever]
[Cultivation: Fifth Layer of the Void Refinement Realm]
[Identity: Daughter of the Star Pavilion Pavilion Master]
…
As Lu Changsheng’s realm advanced, the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator became increasingly stringent in its requirements for disciples’ qualifications, and it had been a long time since it suggested taking any disciples.
“A Pure Yin Body? This physique, it seems to be a natural match with the special physique of my fourth disciple, Shen Xiaoyao.”
Lu Changsheng knew that his fourth disciple, Shen Xiaoyao, had a Pure Yang Body, which was a perfect match for Tang Ling’er’s Pure Yin Body.
Tang Ling’er’s identity as the daughter of the Star Pavilion Pavilion Master was not surprising to Lu Changsheng, as he had already speculated as much.
When Tang Ling’er was in the Dao Palace Realm, she had commanded a woman in blue who was at the eighth layer of the Void Refinement Realm. Since the woman in blue also had a mid-grade Immortal Sword, Tang Ling’er’s status in the Star Pavilion must certainly be very high.
“Disciple, you should make an effort to get on good terms with Tang Ling’er and ask her to show you around the Star Pavilion. This is your master’s instruction.”
Lu Changsheng secretly transmitted his voice to Shen Xiaoyao, telling him to improve Tang Ling’er’s impression of him.
Anyway, judging by Shen Xiaoyao and Tang Ling’er’s reactions toward each other, they both seemed to have a favorable impression of one another.
If Mount Shu were to form a marital alliance with the Star Pavilion, it would be greatly beneficial to Mount Shu in the future.
“This…”
Upon receiving Lu Changsheng’s voice transmission, Shen Xiaoyao did not understand why his master wanted him to act in such a way.
But a master’s order is difficult to disobey.
With his master being so good to him, how could he go against his master’s wishes?
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Xiaoyao said to Tang Ling’er, “Miss Tang, I am very interested in the number one great sect of Zhong Zhou and would like to visit the Star Pavilion. I wonder if Miss Tang would be willing to act as my guide?”
“Ah?” Tang Ling’er, who had never been requested in such a manner, rolled her eyes and replied, “Well, I am idle anyway, so I might as well show you some of the extraordinary aspects of our Star Pavilion.”
Tang Ling’er jumped down from the red wall and approached Shen Xiaoyao, her stunningly beautiful face drawing near, causing Shen Xiaoyao to involuntarily step back with a flushed face.
Tang Ling’er stared into Shen Xiaoyao’s eyes, trying to discern if his next answer would be a lie. “Strange, how did you cultivate? Our physiques are similar, but your cultivation speed is still a bit faster than mine. Could it be that someone in Mount Shu is also performing a Power-infusing Initiation for you?”
“This, I cannot reveal.”
Shen Xiaoyao had received Power-infusing Initiation from Lu Changsheng, and Lu Changsheng had warned his disciples never to reveal how their master had helped them improve their cultivation, so even if Tang Ling’er had shown kindness to Shen Xiaoyao, he would not tell her.
“Hmmph, I already know.”
Tang Ling’er, being quick-witted and clever, inferred much from Shen Xiaoyao’s reaction.
“Let’s go.”
With a swish of her skirt, Tang Ling’er led Shen Xiaoyao on a tour of the Star Pavilion.
The Star Pavilion had a profound foundation, and some of its true treasures and methods were not visible on the surface, so Tang Ling’er was not afraid of revealing the Star Pavilion’s secrets by showing Shen Xiaoyao around its layout and what was apparent.
The woman in blue transmitted a message to Tang Ling’er: “Miss, the Pavilion Master intends to choose the Young Sect Leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect, the second-largest sect in Zhong Zhou, to be your husband. The people from the Dragon Tiger Sect will arrive shortly, and if they discover you with him…”
“Aunt Zhu, I have grown up, you don’t need to worry about my matters,” replied Tang Ling’er, pouting and unconcerned.
Her father, the Pavilion Master of the Star Pavilion, had only her as a daughter, and if she protested, it was likely he would not insist.
Deep within the Star Pavilion, a group of formidable figures strode in with the majesty of dragons and tigers, as they were greeted personally by the Pavilion Master of the Star Pavilion.
“Hahaha, our Dragon Tiger Sect is only second to your Star Pavilion in Zhong Zhou. If our two great sects were to marry, there would be no rivals left in this world!”
The Sect Master of the Dragon Tiger Sect exuded an aura of dominance that was similar to that of the Star Pavilion Pavilion Master, with their presence clashing like a dragon battling a tiger.
The Sect Master of the Dragon Tiger Sect was also one of the favorites to win at the upcoming Zhong Zhou Grand Assembly!
Stepping forward from the ranks of the Dragon Tiger Sect’s strongmen, the Young Sect Leader bowed to the Star Pavilion Pavilion Master: “Your future son-in-law pays respects to his father-in-law.”
The Star Pavilion Pavilion Master waved his hand: “Besides the Zhong Zhou Grand Assembly, I plan to hold an additional competition to find a suitable husband for my daughter. The candidate has not yet been determined, and you are just one of the prospects I approve of. There’s no need to call me father-in-law yet.”
Full of confidence, the Young Sect Leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect proclaimed assertively, “Your future son-in-law will certainly defeat the young geniuses from various domains and marry Miss Tang!”
