The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1488

Chapter 1488: Chapter 1484: Heart Trouble Chapter 1488: Chapter 1484: Heart Trouble “Right, we're just about to return to the Sect, why not come with us, Friend Shen?” Master Yan said.

“Naturally, I also want to congratulate Elder Yan on his immense progress, reaching the True Immortal Realm,” Shen Luo replied without objection, sizing up Master Yan before smiling.

Master Yan's aura was surging; he had already broken through to the True Immortal Stage, especially the faint crystal light at his brow, indicating that his Soul Power had also soared tremendously.

“Compared to Brother Shen's strength, my little progress is truly insignificant,” Master Yan said with a sudden drop in his mood, giving a bitter smile and exuding an air of desolation.

Recently, Shen Luo had devoted himself to the arduous practice of the Body Refining Secret Text and many Secret Techniques of the Divine Soul like the 'Thoughts as Lightning Art' and the 'All-encompassing Suppressing God Technique,' making his sensitivity even more acute.

“Elder Yan, have you been unwell recently?” Shen Luo asked with concern, looking at Master Yan.

The current sense of desolation that Master Yan displayed was exceptionally grey and nearly soul-crushing; something significant must have happened to him.

“It's nothing, what could be the matter with me? Let's get going,” Master Yan shook his head and took the lead in setting off.

Seeing this, Shen Luo did not press further and simply followed Master Yan and the others as they flew forward.

“Are you fellows in the midst of a mission?” Shen Luo inquired as he looked at the group.

“Yes, we're still searching for those things left by Ghost Yan. I'd say we've looked for so many days without a clue; why waste more time?” Lin Han complained.

Master Yan's expression darkened as he glared at Lin Han.

Knowing he had misspoken, Lin Han quickly shut his mouth.

“Brother Shen is not an outsider and knows some of the situation, so I won't hide anything. Although we slew Ghost Yan on our previous trip to the Black Abyss Mystical Cave, many items still weren't recovered and might have been lost somewhere in the Boundless Sand Sea. Naturally, we must search thoroughly,” Master Yan sighed.

Shen Luo nodded at these words, remaining silent but feeling a twinge of guilt.

The item that Tianji City was searching for was naturally the latter half of the Sky Machine Scroll, which was now in his hands, having been thoroughly studied. He would have to find a chance to return it to Tianji City.

The group was all proficient in flying; in less than an hour, they arrived at another oasis where the majestic Tianji City stood, identical to before.

“Elder Yan, who have you brought with you?” As Shen Luo and the others just came to a stop, several figures darted out from the protective prohibition of Tianji City, led by a True Immortal Stage Yan master.

“This is Daoist Friend Shen Luo, who has done our Sect a great favor. By the command of the City Lord, I am to bring him into the city; do not obstruct,” Master Yan stated.

Shen Luo touched his nose, observing the situation; it seemed Tianji City's defenses had become a lot stricter than before.

“So, it's Brother Shen. Since it's the City Lord's command, please come in,” the True Immortal Yan master sized up Shen Luo and stepped aside to make way.

They passed through the city's protective prohibition and entered.

Inside Tianji City was much livelier than before, with bustling streets and considerably more people than in the past.

In a square to the northwest of the lower city, some large platforms were being set up, as if for some sort of event.

“It's quite lively. Is Tianji City about to hold some grand event?” Shen Luo glanced around and asked.

“It's not exactly a grand event. Our Sect has recently refined a batch of new Armor and Magical Treasures, and in accordance with city rules, we will publicly display their might so that visiting monks can review and select them. Thus, the city is more animated,” Master Yan explained.

“I see,” Shen Luo nodded slightly.

“Brother Shen, the City Lord has entered seclusion again these past two days. I'll go and report your arrival now, I'm afraid you'll need to wait here in the lower city for a while,” Master Yan said apologetically.

“Alright,” Shen Luo was not in a hurry.

Master Yan immediately assigned Shen Luo an attendant, still Zhou Ming from last time, and the two headed to the Fallen Flower Villa to settle down.

“Friend Shen, please rest here for a while, I will take my leave first.” After arranging Shen Luo's accommodations, Zhou Ming rose to bid farewell.

“Daoist Zhou, wait a moment, I have a question to ask. In my previous interactions with Elder Yan, although he was not frivolous or smiling, his personality was rather positive and optimistic. However, this time he seems… Has he encountered any troubles recently? After successfully advancing to the True Immortal Stage, why does he still seem unhappy?” Shen Luo stopped Zhou Ming, who was about to leave, and asked.

Although Elder Yan had already advanced to the True Immortal Stage, being in such a gloomy state of mind was greatly detrimental to his future cultivation.

Shen Luo was still very concerned about his friend Elder Yan.

“Elder Yan's matter? I do not know the details, I only know that he has been like this ever since he came back from the Black Abyss Mystical Cave, so something must have happened there,” Zhou Ming said after a moment of thought.

“Black Abyss Mystical Cave?” Shen Luo's expression shifted.

He had almost accompanied Elder Yan through the Black Abyss Mystical Cave and didn't notice anything that affected his mood. Could it be that Elder Yan encountered something in the Yin Cave?

“Daoist Zhou, is there a woman named Beigong Ying in Tianji City?” Recalling the events within the Black Abyss Mystical Cave, an idea flashed through Shen Luo's mind, and he asked.

“Beigong Ying! Yes, Sister Beigong is Elder Mo Wang's disciple, and she has a rather good relationship with Elder Yan. It is rumored that the two nearly formed a dual cultivation partnership, but Sister Beigong mysteriously disappeared many years ago. Why do you ask, Friend Shen?” Zhou Ming said.

“Is it really because of that Beigong Ying?” Shen Luo sighed inwardly, roughly understanding the reason for Elder Yan's current state.

Beigong Ying had been refined by Ghost Yan into the Earth Evil Corpse King, living a fate worse than death. Naturally, upon finding out, Elder Yan felt desolate.

But why couldn't the Little Master see Elder Yan's problem and try to guide him?

“It's nothing, just asking.” Shen Luo shook his head and said.

Zhou Ming uttered an 'oh' and quickly took his leave.

Shen Luo sat quietly in the room, closing his eyes to adjust his breath, alleviating the fatigue of rapid travel.

Elder Yan didn't make him wait too long, and in less than half a day, he came to find him, taking him to the upper layer of Tianji City to meet the Little Master.

“Greetings, City Lord.” Shen Luo stepped forward to pay his respects.

“I apologize for making you wait so long. I was refining a piece of armor and it took quite some time,” the Little Master said.

“City Lord, you are too kind. I am Junior, and it is only proper for me to wait. Is everything ready for the repair of the jade pillow?” Shen Luo humbly spoke but couldn't help but ask.

“Everything is ready. If Friend Shen is willing, we can start right away,” the Little Master chuckled.

“Then I shall entrust this matter to the City Lord.” Shen Luo showed a look of joy, took out the jade pillow, the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and the Sink Blood Nine Chi Pearl and passed them over.

“Repairing the jade pillow will take some time. Please be patient, Friend Shen,” the Little Master said as he took the three items.

“No problem,” Shen Luo agreed readily.

“By the way, our Sect has just produced a new batch of armor and Magical Treasures. These few days, the city is quite lively with frequent transactions of Spiritual Materials. Friend Shen might take this opportunity to stroll around the city and buy some things you might find useful,” the Little Master suggested.

“Since the City Lord invites, it would be disrespectful to decline.” Shen Luo indeed had many Things to buy and immediately nodded in agreement.

With Fire Spirit Child, the Master Weapon Refiner present, he planned to enhance all of his Magical Treasures, especially the Device Soul Conversion technique of Fire Spirit Child, which he was very interested in.
