Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Xuanjian True Person Nie Jun (Thanks to the Big Boss Golden Yellow Fragrance for the Alliance)_1

The girl in the red dress stood on the steps, quietly watching the elder in grey, a trace of emotion flashing through her beautiful eyes.

Mei Xiyao had been handling the guests of the Eight Directions Food Pavilion for hundreds of years, and could certainly be considered widely experienced.

With a little thought, she could recognize the old man’s identity.

He was not only a Primordial Grandmaster but also deployed by the Mysterious Light Cave.

The Great Qian Martial Temple once ranked as one of the top three human forces, but now it fell on hard times, showing a hint of desolation.

It was precisely their former prestige that had become a burden.

They were not living as carefreely as a smaller force like the Eight Directions Food Pavilion.

“If you need anything, just instruct them.”

Mei Xiyao nodded politely, the grey-clothed elder looked back and nodded without any emotion.

Not until the girl in the red dress turned to go upstairs.

Only then did the old man retract his gaze, listening to the whispered conversations downstairs, seemingly accustomed to it, he slowly closed his eyes.

By the table in the corner.

Qinghua stood indifferently, perhaps too deliberately mimicking Shen Yi, now every gesture of hers carried the other’s distinct impression.

“Master, do you need Qinghua to take care of that group of cultivators from the Mysterious Light Cave?”

“…”

Shen Yi picked up the tea the servant had brought and took a slight sip.

He quietly shot her a glance.

He replied with his mind, as well: “Can you win against them?”

Lady Qinghua pondered for a moment, then earnestly replied, “I cannot win, but Qinghua is willing to fight to the death for my master.”

“Keep it down, I appreciate it.”

Shen Yi put down his teacup, casting a casual glance at the old man.

To be honest, he felt somewhat uncomfortable inside.

After all, the Patrol Envoy was there acting as a gatekeeper, and it didn’t reflect well on him either as the Deputy Patrol Envoy.

But being new here, he hadn’t yet grasped the situation.

Acting rashly out of a moment of pride was not in his character.

The most important goal for this trip was still the cultivators’ cave mansions.

It would be ideal to obtain an item similar to a Spiritual Root.

As for the people from the Mysterious Light Cave…

Shen Yi would not mind taking their Storage Treasures when the opportunity arose, to see the depth of the Immortal Sect.

With that thought, he looked around.

Even though he had read many books before coming out, he still couldn’t recognize the identities of others at a glance.

All these people had at least the cultivation of the Embrace Pill Realm.

Some even exuded an aura that was only slightly lower than that of the Longevity True Person.

“A starving camel is still bigger than a horse, in reality, the cultivators outside are not stronger than those in Great Qian, it’s just that those who dare to participate in the affairs of the cultivators’ cave mansions all have some skills.”@@novelbin@@

Lady Qinghua carefully explained.

“What are they doing over there?”

Shen Yi saw a group of people also in the corner and noticed several Precious Jades placed on the table beside them. While concealing their auras, their voices were also completely isolated.

Qinghua drifted over to watch for a while, staring at the movement of their lips, and after a moment, she came back and said, “They are trading Precious Tools, one of them seems to have found a bargain, but it turned out to be a deceptive deal by someone there. They are laughing at him.”

Trading?

Shen Yi recalled what he possessed, realizing that the most valuable thing he had was probably the recently acquired Cold Jade Xuan Silk Hand.

As for other items, they were either irreplaceable, undervalued due to his lack of understanding of their worth, or of little use to cultivators above the Primordial Realm.

His foundation had not been replenished for a long time.

“Report back with further exploration.”

Lady Qinghua obediently drifted out, after all, she was a spirit, invisible to others.

Wandering east, drifting west.

Soon she returned with a heap of messages.

Among them, the most important was the matter of the cultivator’s cave dwelling in the Eight Directions Valley.

“According to them, this cave dwelling has actually appeared at least three times already, only previously unrecognized; it was only those from the Eight Directions Food Pavilion who would enter, attempting to find some new ingredients. Later on, the Mysterious Light Cave’s people came to know of it and documented it in travel notes,”

transmitted Lady Qinghua through mental communication, “But last time they miscalculated the timing, arrived a bit late, and to avoid being trapped inside, they evacuated quite hastily, their exploration was quite rough, not even finding the most important Law Storage Pavilion.”

“However, it did lead them to discover traces related to artifact refining.”

“The owner of this cave dwelling is very likely to have been an artifact refiner, which is what drew the Mysterious Light Cave to investigate a second time.”

“These people are just trying their luck. The major powers generally act generously and won’t fuss over the leftovers with them.”

Shen Yi listened quietly and noticed Lady Qinghua subconsciously glance upstairs, before continuing, “But with Nie Jun here, if he sets his sights on the cave dwelling as well, I fear it might affect my master. Should Lady Qinghua go…”

Before she could finish,

she was directly retracted by Shen Yi into the panel.

‘This one affects my master, that one offends my master,’ if he really followed her suggestions, he and others might as well lie here today.

That was a two zhang three Golden Body, not twenty-three zhang.

At best only slightly stronger than a cultivator who has just entered the Divinity Transformation Realm, and that also depended on whether the other party had any hidden trump cards.

Nowhere near enough for Shen Yi to act recklessly.

While he was deep in thought,

a figure, reeking of alcohol and with a steady gait, descended from upstairs.

He looked young, with disheveled hair, wearing a loose turquoise robe, casually open at the chest, giving off an air of unrestrained nonchalance.

His slender eyes seemed calm, yet inexplicably emanated a bone-chilling coldness.

“Make way.”

He moved behind the grey-clothed elderly man.

The elder clearly froze in place, hurriedly stepping aside after being prompted, respectfully saying, “Elder Nie.”

Nie Jun headed down the stairs.

Unlike the bustle when True Person Zhang arrived, the hall was dead silent now.

Only when he reached the bottom of the stairs, did he suddenly turn back and frown, “Put away that thing on your waist, it’s irritating to look at.”

Upon hearing this, the grey-clothed elder touched the jade amulet and hesitated for a moment.

If it weren’t for a lesson learned the hard way, who would want to expose their disgrace and drag their affiliation into it?

It’s not that he didn’t want to put it away, he simply didn’t dare to do so.

“I told you to put it away, do you understand?”

Elder Nie spoke faintly; he didn’t need to ask why, nor did he need to know what the elder was wary of.

The grey-clothed elder didn’t dare delay, hastily putting away the jade amulet, “Thank you, Elder Nie.”

Only once Nie Jun stepped to the gate, a stream of mysterious light flew out from his sleeve, transforming into a large Mysterious Sword. He casually stepped onto the body of the sword, and in an instant, disappeared from the place.

Regular breathing resumed in the hall.

Even True Person Zhang from the Mysterious Light Cave descended from the third floor, ensuring that the other had truly left before heaving a sigh of relief.

If Elder Nie had also taken an interest in this cave dwelling, even if he, surnamed Zhang, was unwilling, he would have to politely yield and might even have to say ‘thank you for your efforts’.

Mei Xiyao stepped out of the pavilion to see him off, respectfully standing there for hundreds of breaths of time.

Only then did she turn back and enter the hall.

No sooner had she done so was she surrounded by several Primordial Grandmasters, “Miss Mei, Elder Nie has finished his meal…”

The owner of the Eight Directions Food Pavilion, she only personally cooked for Nie Jun. That old man had the ability to turn the decayed into the marvelous, a single dish was no less precious than precious pills; anyway, Nie Jun only used the essence, a well-known fact.
