Chapter 74: Chapter 69 Visiting Card_1

"With your Forbidden Army’s help, I have taught the Heavenluck Holy Sect a lesson.

The three supreme monarchs of the Demon Tribe have been slain by your Forbidden Army.

In half a month, my... mission will be accomplished." Jin Li was learning to speak like Qi Yuan.

"Mission accomplished? So fast! That’s impressive. After you completed it, don’t log out. Wait for me for a while, and we will meet up!"

"OK." Jin Li seized the exquisite jade.

Now, holding the reins of the Forbidden Army, she truly became the queen of Nanqian.

The taste of power, indeed, made one intoxicated.

But she, who always loved the clear breeze from the mountain spring and understood her place, quickly woke up from the intoxication.

"It’s time to leave after finishing this task."

"I am not a qualified empress anyway, so it doesn’t matter if I leave."

She had tried her best to settle affairs before her departure. Relying on the Forbidden Army to eliminate the Demon Tribe, suppress the Heavenluck Holy Sect, and resolve certain crises - the affairs after her departure would be left to those who remained.

At this moment, Jin Li sat by the window, gazing at the ancient tree in the distance, lost in thought.

...

"Senior Brother, a visiting card!"

Early in the morning, Qi Yuan was awakened by someone from his dream.

He killed so many in the game that he had gotten used to it, and Qi Yuan no longer had nightmares.

However, murdering so many had been exhausting, so he slept longer these days.

Being woken up at this moment, he rubbed his drowsy eyes and pulled away the hair that blocked his eyebrows, "What? What is it?"

Qi Yuan felt grouchy about being woken up.

But when he thought about the visitor, he suppressed his irritation.

Leaving the hut, Qi Yuan saw the slender and graceful Jiang Lingsu standing outside.

Looking pretty and delicate, with mischief in her eyes that hinted at her playful nature.

Beauty was always pleasing to the eye, and his irritation began to fade somewhat.

"Senior brother, it’s a respect card for the Master," Jiang Lingsu handed the card to Qi Yuan, "Sect Master sent it via Qingying, she also said Sect Master had a message for you."

"Oh? What did she say?" Qi Yuan took the card.

The card looked high-end with an ink painting on the cover.

"The Sect Master said you could open the card to check." Jiang Lingsu replied.

Qi Yuan was slightly startled.

He wondered what the Sect Master was up to.

He opened the card and started reading carefully. His brows furrowed instantly.

He felt his grouchiness upon waking was justified.

A startle flashed through his mind. Was it possible that he’d been overheard by strong cultivators of the Palace of Light talking about the Palace with his Junior Sister, and they’d sent the greeting card to meet his Master?

The card was issued in the name of the Palace of Light.

The content was simple; essentially, Zhu Lianhua, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Palace of Light arrived at Dashang, wishing to invite some of Dashang’s top orthodox people to meet up and discuss the future situation of Dashang’s Cultivation World, to determine Dashang’s future development.

Before meeting, he would come to pay respect.

Zhu Lianhua would come to the Shingon Sect in the next few days, the exact timing is uncertain and depends on his schedule, so the Shingon Sect should prepare in advance.

After reading the content, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It was not to pick on him, but rather his unwarranted worry.

Looking at the content of the greeting card, a sneer appeared in Qi Yuan’s eyes, "This guy is even more pretentious than me!"

Saying so, he handed the greeting card to Jiang Lingsu for her to read.

Anyway, this was not a matter requiring confidentiality.

Jiang Lingsu looked at the card. After reading it, she clenched her silver teeth, especially after seeing the name, a faint killing intent flashed deep within her eyes: "This Zhu Lianhua is ridiculous, he’s so used to being superior and who does he think he is?

An insignificant Cultivator of Foundation Establishment carries such a big head!"

The tone in the greeting card was without a doubt superior.

Moreover, the uncertainty about when he would arrive, but still requiring Qi Yuan and his team to prepare for his visit.

Did he think he was a leader inspecting the territory?

Also, discussing the situation of Dashang Cultivation World and determining Dashang’s future development. Any cultivator from Dashang who saw this would want to say: Who are you, punk? What qualifies you to do this?

Zhu Lianhua’s arrogance was utterly evident in the greeting card.

"Great minds think alike." Qi Yuan greatly agreed with his Junior Sister’s words.

Jiang Lingsu continued, "People from the Palace of Light are always like this, especially when they go to small places, their members look down on others.

Regrettably, indeed they have the base to be arrogant.

We better not offend them, or else... it will lead to some trouble."

Jiang Lingsu was somewhat wary of the Palace of Light.

Of course, it was just wariness.

"I will take the card to the Master." Qi Yuan, holding the card, suddenly felt better.

Perhaps, he could see his Master again.

He missed him greatly, having not seen him for several months.

Qi Yuan arrived halfway up the hill and again encountered a barrier blocking his way.

He held up the greeting card and said loudly, "Master, someone from the Palace of Light has come to pay respect, here is the greeting card."

As he spoke, he held up the card, his eyes looking ahead.

He wished to see his Master.

At that moment, a breeze came, rustling the greeting card.

The moon atop the hill seemed to spill a beam of moonlight.

Two words were formed by the light: ’Not seen.’

After a moment, the light faded away.

"Not seen, I understand." Qi Yuan was somewhat disappointed that he didn’t see his master.

He held the visiting card, feeling the texture: "Seems rather expensive, I could sell it later and perhaps exchange it for a Spirit Stone."

A day later, in the markets surrounding the Shenguang Sect.

A figure of grandeur appeared, accompanied by a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

This Foundation Establishment cultivator was at the full-circle stage, but he appeared quite submissive in front of another cultivator in the mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, this is the market under the Shenguang Sect.

But it’s rather dilapidated here, without any good items, less to compare with your Palace of Light." The full-circle Foundation Establishment cultivator said aloud, instead of communicating with divine sense.

Unfortunately, no one in the market had heard of the Palace of Light and were indifferent to his words.

Only a cultivator covered in a cloak seemed to have heard something, his heart skipped a beat and then pretended as if nothing happened.

Zhu Lianhua glanced over the market and nonchalantly said: "It’s okay, passable. Hopefully, some treasures could be picked up."

He came to the Shenguang Sect for two reasons. First, of course, was to meet the strongest one in the sect, the Master of the Seven-Color Peak; second, there were recent rumors that a supreme treasure had emerged within the Shenguang Sect, which showed several unusual signs. Such a treasure should be possessed by the virtuous.

He, coming from the Palace of Light, undoubtedly had the virtue.

His second intention was his real purpose.

Upon hearing this, the full-circle Foundation Establishment cultivator laughed: "Fellow Daoist Zhu, are you also here for that supreme treasure?"

"If it’s a treasure of that level, I must personally take possession of it.

The Shenguang Sect is too small, a supreme treasure would be too much for them. Their capacity might not be enough to control it and could bring disaster." Zhu Lianhua confidently replied.

The full-circle Foundation Establishment cultivator Wang Shuang, despised him internally, but still fawned: "Fellow Daoist Zhu truly lives up to the reputation of the Palace of Light, caring for the world.

Although no bond has been established with the Shenguang Sect yet, you’re already considering for them."

"Did you say that the Five Elements supreme treasure has been obtained by the Shenguang Sect?" Zhu Lianhua asked.

Wang Shuang thought for a while: "Even if they have obtained it, they probably haven’t declared it publicly."

"What if I propose a place in the Palace of Light in exchange for their supreme treasure, would they agree?"

Wang Shuang was stunned upon hearing this.

A recommendation for a cultivator to join the Palace of Light was indeed valuable.

But that was it.

The Palace of Light was indeed mighty, but too far from the great business!

Wang Shuang revered Zhu Lianhua, but if Zhu Lianhua truly pushed him to his limits, he would dare to kill Zhu Lianhua.

Of course, who would risk it without being forced?

Wang Shuang was speechless at Zhu Lianhua, the cultivator from the grand place, but still said: "I’m afraid the Shenguang Sect might not recognize the gold inlaid jade."

What he meant was, Shenguang Sect would not give out the supreme treasure.

Zhu Lianhua was not surprised upon hearing this: "It seems I have to find another way."

Even though he had always been arrogant,

He understood that he should never push people to their limits.

Otherwise, his status would mean nothing.

In the great merchants, although he was above all Foundation Establishment cultivators, if a Golden Core cultivator chose to risk it all, disregarding life and wealth, he would also get into trouble.

As the two walked through the market, they communicated through divine sense from time to time, and sometimes "released" divine sense.

Wang Shuang spoke at this time: "I possess a secret treasure hunting technique, although it works sporadically, occasionally, some treasures can be picked up.

Today I intend to show off this skill for you, find some treasures, and offer them to you."

Wang Shuang’s attitude was very humble, he had already figured out some of Zhu Lianhua’s personality.

Sure enough, Zhu Lianhua seemed interested upon hearing this: "Let’s see your skills."

Wang Shuang used a spell called the Heavenly Treasure Hunting Technique.

For some peculiar treasures, he would have a sense of them.

But he also knew that the probabilty of finding any valuable in this market was low, so he made up his mind that if he didn’t make a successful pick, he will buy it himself.

As the spell was released, a touch of gold flashed in Wang Shuang’s eyes.

About half an incense time later, Wang Shuang became gratified: "I didn’t expect to actually pick up something here. Please wait a moment, I will buy this treasure and show it to you."

The two going together might make the seller sense Zhu Lianhua’s distinguished attire and arbitrarily raise the price.

Zhu Lianhua nodded, he too felt that there was no need to go with him.

After all, if he went with him, Wang Shuang would have no opportunity to quietly substitute a treasure in case he failed to pick anything worthwhile.

He stood in the market, waiting quietly.

After a while, Wang Shuang returned with a thrilled expression: "Daoist, I spent only a Spirit Stone and successfully made a pick. Come, look at what it is!"

Wang Shuang raised the item he had picked and said: "Don’t let its dazzling appearance fool you, though it’s worn and damaged, the material it’s made of..."

He paused mid-sentence,

Because he noticed that Zhu Lianhua looked unhappy.

Did he say something wrong?

Wang Shuang was somewhat frightened: "Fellow Daoist?"

Zhu Lianhua snatched the item from Wang Shuang’s hand, his facial expression changing rapidly: "Where did this come from?"

Wang Shuang carefully asked: "Do you know this item, fellow Daoist?"

"This is not a fucking treasure!" Zhu Lianhua threw the item on the ground angrily, "This is my visiting card to the Shenguang Sect!"

He was seething with anger, apparently losing his patience.

On hearing this, Wang Shuang was stunned as well.

He never expected that the treasure he had picked was Zhu Lianhua’s visiting card to the Shenguang Sect!

This was just... too ridiculous!
