Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Jiang Lingsu’s Commission_1

The dawn’s early light begins to shine, as the morning sun peeks over the horizon.

Jiang Lingsu, dresses in a light green long skirt, flowing like a graceful snake maiden.

There’s a hint of fatigue in her bright eyes. Smooths her hair behind her ear, she took a deep breath: "Seems like I lost a piece of Jade of Hunyuan yesterday.

Alas, such a pity it can’t be bought from the Radiant Light Sect.

I suppose I will have to make do."

Jade of Hunyuan is a type of Spirit Jade, that when burnt, emits an aroma that can sharpen one’s mind and light up one’s spirit.

Yesterday, a puppet accidentally threw a piece of it that wasn’t fully used into the garbage heap.

If it were before, she wouldn’t have cared.

But now they were at the Radiant Light Sect, where replacements couldn’t be bought.

She decided to go to the garbage heap to look for it.

At the garbage heap, she covered her nose and mouth with her sleeve, preparing to summon the puppet to retrieve the piece of Jade of Hunyuan.

However... that garbage heap...

"Who rummaged through it?"

She glanced at the garbage heap and froze in place.

Normally, the heap contained common household trash, along with remains of some used Spiritual Objects.

Like the Jade of Hunyuan.

To her surprise, the garbage heap outside her residence had been messed with.

As realization dawned on her, a talisman appeared in her hand.

The talisman was known as a Sense Talisman - one of many in Jiang Lingsu’s possession - crafted by a Heavenly Infant Realm cultivator.

She usually placed it beside her bed as a warning device.

After seeing the garbage heap in disarray, she immediately took out the Sense Talisman only to find it had no clues.

However, there was a faint line at the center of the talisman.

"Last night, a creature lingered outside my house for the time it takes an incense stick to burn?"

Jiang Lingsu determined from the residual information on the Sense Talisman that a creature had lingered outside her house for a significant time the previous night.

But since it showed no malicious intent, the Sense Talisman didn’t sound an alarm, otherwise, she would not have had a peaceful night’s sleep.

Jiang Lingsu examined the garbage heap and furrowed her brows: "On the Seven-Color Peak, there’s only the Peak Master, you, and our eldest senior brother.

Regular animals wouldn’t trigger a reaction from the Sense Talisman.

It had to be an intelligent creature."

"Could it be..."

Suddenly, Jiang Lingsu glanced at the thatched hut next door.

Remembering her eldest senior brother, Qi Yuan, relishing the Spirit Food last time, an inexplicable feeling arose in her heart.

A sigh...

After contemplating, she decided to return to her room.

An hour later, Jiang Lingsu arrived outside Qi Yuan’s yard.

"Eldest senior brother, have you gotten up?" she called him softly.

"Junior sister, what brings you here?" Qi Yuan, now dressed in a white robe, looked quite dashing. As today was the Foundation Establishment Conference, he had woken up earlier than usual.

Seeing Qi Yuan’s appearance, Jiang Lingsu felt a sense of calm and joy.

Indeed, seeing something beautiful always makes one’s mood better.

"Eldest senior brother, can I trouble you with something?" Jiang Lingsu asked.

"Oh, what is it?" Qi Yuan was very enthusiastic, remembering that last time she had given him a jade containing a cultivation technique and spirit food, for which he was quite grateful.

"Eldest senior brother, do you know of any special, or mysterious people in our Sect?"

Jiang Lingsu initially suspected Ruan Yixi, the Peak Master of Seven-Color Peak, to be the one who can withstand calamity.

However, she thought that one could always consider more people.

"Special people?" Qi Yuan pondered, then his eyes lit up, "I know one who’s very special."

"Who?" Jiang Lingsu’s heart raced.

"Me!" Qi Yuan pointed at himself.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingsu was stunned.

Her senior brother indeed is special, after all... those who follow the way of the fool often have an unusual mindset.

Jiang Lingsu was somewhat deflated, feeling like involving her eldest senior brother in this matter was unreliable. However, when she thought about the incident in the morning.

She took out a storage bag: "Eldest senior brother, there are one thousand spirit stones inside. Consider it your payment. Please help look out for any special individuals, there will be more rewards."

Qi Yuan looked at the storage bag and blinked: "What’s the meaning of doing all this, junior sister?"

Jiang Lingsu didn’t expect senior brother would ask that question.

Almost instantly, she recalled that fools were just a little eccentric, not stupid.

She gave her previously thought-out reason: "Before I came to Shen Guang Sect, I met a highly skilled fortune teller who told me there’s a special person in the sect who is destined to help me. With that in mind, I want to find out who that person is."

Upon hearing Jiang Lingsu’s remarks, Qi Yuan suddenly interjected.

"Believing you would be akin to believing that I am Emperor Qin Shi Huang."

Jiang Lingsu: "???"

Qi Yuan continued: "I’ll take the case."

Qi Yuan took the storage bag.

His eyes could see distinguishable information.

Identifying a unique person should suit him just right.

"Does that person have any other distinguishing characteristics?" Qi Yuan asked again.

Jiang Lingsuen, with her head down, replied: "He should be extremely powerful, or possess immense talents...Oh, and it’s possible that ’he’ isn’t even a human!

Please, brother!"

After finishing her request, Jiang Lingsu left Qi Yuan’s courtyard.

Qi Yuan held the storage bag with a thousand spirit stones within.

Without a doubt, he had never seen such a huge sum aforehand.

But his heart didn’t flutter with excitement.

Instead, he muttered to himself, "Why would sister Jiang give me spirit stones?"

It seemed sister Jiang was genuinely seeking his help.

However, these spirit stones seemed as if they were gifts from her.

"Could it be that sister Jiang sees through my tough exterior, aims to rip off my disguise, and keep me?"

This whimsical thought took Qi Yuan by surprise.

Nevertheless, he didn’t dwell on it and shifted his attention to the kitchen knife lying in the courtyard.

"Sister Jiang spotted my stubbornness. Can you see it too, knife?"

The kitchen knife was lying on the ground, absolutely still.

"What should I name you?"

The kitchen knife stayed immobile.

"Knife?"

"Vege knife?"

"Veggie-veggie?"

"Knife-knife?"

"Monster Knife?"

"Heavenly Blade?"

The kitchen knife finally responded with a shudder.

Qi Yuan grabbed the knife, a puzzled look in his eyes: "Is this gaining spirituality? It’s not even as smart as Little Ai."

At least when Little Ai farted, she knew to pin it on her friend, Little Du.

This kitchen knife, despite appearing sentient, didn’t behave any different from a mere object.

However, Qi Yuan reasoned this was normal.

Once Qi Yuan grabbed the knife, he felt as though his combat strength had leveled up.

"With the Eight Slashes of Summer, I could probably kill a few Foundation Establishment cultivators, right?"

Too bad this was Sevencolor Peak, not an ideal location to practice knife skills.

Besides, he was representing Shen Guang Sect in the Foundation Establishment gathering and didn’t have time to practice.

...

Within the Shen Guang Sect...

The Foundation Establishment gathering finally started.

Because of the presence of grade-one Foundation Establishment spiritual object, Yellow Flower Fruit, all the various sects that had arrived from Dashang Country were of great stature.

"Elder Feihua of Mo Yu Gate has arrived!"

"Fenguang Sword Master from Floating Mountain has arrived!"

"Duke Changshan has arrived!"

"The venerated Chicken Patriarch from Heishan Sect has arrived!"

As the youth reported, outside Shen Guang Sect’s gate, clouds of all colors gathered.

One after another, spirit boats descended from the sky, landing in front of Shen Guang Sect’s main entrance.

Qi Yuan, clad in a white robe, watched as the wind danced around his sleeves. He looked at the representatives of the various sects arriving with a refined smile: "Welcome to Shen Guang Sect for the Foundation Establishment gathering!"

In that moment, he appeared quite reliable.
