Chapter 482 - 481: Are you short of people in Chen Tang City?

The character of their domain lord was something Zhaixing Old Man was well aware of.

Seeing Li Jing feeling a bit awkward facing the attitude of Domain Lord Cangming, Zhaixing Old Man sighed at how those who are still young are always more competent, and spoke out to defuse the situation.

"Domain Lord, Li Immortal Lord’s situation is quite unusual, don’t gauge him by the age of his bones which are even older than mine, in fact, the years he has truly lived through may be less than yours and mine..."

He stopped halfway through, as if he had sensed some danger, and quickly changed his words.

"In terms of actual age, Immortal Lord Li may not have even lived as long as I have."

Upon hearing this, Domain Lord Cangming raised an eyebrow.

What did Zhaixing Old Man just call Li Jing?

Li Immortal Lord?

Hadn’t he just ascended?

Confused, Domain Lord Cangming couldn’t help but take another couple of glances at Li Jing with scrutinizing eyes.

Seeing him standing there, somewhat flustered, her expression slightly changed.

If he could hardly handle just dealing with her, then maybe what Zhaixing Old Man said was true.

If he were really an old man who had lived over ten thousand years, his heart would have long been as calm as a mirror.

Even if she danced naked in front of him, he wouldn’t even glance at her too much, and might even suspect whether her behavior was some sort of manipulation or had some sort of objective.

After piecing together the various signs, Domain Lord Cangming developed a keen interest in Li Jing.

No ascenders from Blue Star had appeared in three thousand years.

As a Domain Lord, of course, she had to take an interest.

With Li Jing’s arrival, it would help her understand the situation in the Blue Star.

The person in front of her was extremely peculiar!

Not only was he brought directly to her by the celestial official himself, but his bone age also deviated from the norm due to some special reason.

Glancing casually at the perspiring city guard of Beilang City, Domain Lord Cangming gave him a "I’ll remember you" look, then spoke to Li Jing and Zhaixing Old Man.

"It’s not convenient to talk outside, let’s go inside and continue our conversation."

Having said that, she didn’t wait for Li Jing and Zhaixing Old Man to respond, and entered the Domain Lord’s mansion on her own.

Seeing this, Li Jing subconsciously shot Zhaixing Old Man a glance.

The latter shrugged silently, indicating that their Domain Lord had always been like this, then gestured to hurry up and follow.

Seeing this, while Li Jing had a weird look on his face, he walked in.

Zhaixing Old Man also quietly followed.

...

Once they were inside the Domain Lord’s mansion.

Under the effortlessly fluid leadership of Domain Lord Cangming, Li Jing and Zhaixing Old Man quickly found themselves in a guest room, before she efficiently called over the servants to prepare the best food and wine.

After the servants left, she sat down carelessly and raised her eyes to look at Li Jing and Zhaixing Old Man, who were still standing.

"What are you two standing there for? Do you need me to invite you to sit down?"

"Ah, this..."

Zhaixing Old Man, feeling awkward, quietly sat down.

Li Jing subconsciously followed suit, but couldn’t help but give the Domain Lord a few more glances.

They had only just met and hadn’t had much time to talk yet.

But through the various aspects of Domain Lord Cangming, it wasn’t hard to see...

She, was an unusual person.

Over there.

Seeing that they had sat down, Domain Lord Cangming opened a bottle of wine, downed a few mouthfuls, then passed the bottle over.

"Want a drink?"

Seeing this, Li Jing was a bit stunned, he was caught off guard.

On the other side, Zhaixing Old Man’s eyes bulged out as he swallowed hard.

Anyone familiar with Domain Lord Cangming knew that while she maintained the appearance of a youthful, beautiful sixteen-year-old girl, she was in fact a perennial old drunk who can’t live without wine.

And the truth was.

She did not practice ordinary methods, but a divine path that differs from the Orthodox Immortality Path.

The Path of the Wine God.

Tasting wine, getting drunk, and even brewing wine were all part of her cultivation.

Most of the wines in Domain Lord Cangming’s hands were either brewed by herself or a mixed blend of various fine wines.

The fine wine she brewed or blended, any one of them thrown out would inevitably be a rare delicacy. Ordinary people wouldn’t even have the chance to take a sniff, let alone a sip.

Under normal circumstances, even the wine-loving Domain Lord Cangming would not casually take out her wine for others to drink.

Even if the Eastern Emperor Donghua were to visit.

If anyone dared to touch her wine, she would dare to confront them.

Now that she was willing to give her wine to Li Jing, the surprise left Elder Zi Xing green with envy.

Over here.

After Li Jing snapped out of his daze, he accepted the wine gourd from Domain Lord Canglan with a nod.

He was unsure about Domain Lord Canglan’s wine.

So naturally, he didn’t lust for it immediately.

But as a Blue Star human.

He was well-versed in the culture of the wine table.

As a Blue Star ascender, the Canglan Realm was set to be the area he and Chen Tang Guan would frequently operate in future.

In front of him was the Domain Lord who ruled the entire Canglan Realm.

If it were the professional field, she would be considered a high-level leader.

A high-ranked leader give you wine, dare you refuse?

Refusing would be a sign of disrespect!

After accepting the wine gourd, Li Jing inadvertently glanced at Elder Zi Xing, who was watching from the side and almost drooling, then he looked at Domain Lord Canglan who was also staring at him, raised the gourd, and took a small sip.

As soon as the wine entered his mouth, Li Jing shook all over.

This wine.

Tastes more like an exceptional nectar rather than an ordinary wine.

Yes.

It was just like the nectar that Shenmin and other descendants of the Ancient God had spent many years collecting, and then offered to Ling Ling.

The taste was nearly the same.

In terms of efficacy, they were quite similar.

The moment the wine entered the mouth, it drove one’s Spiritual Qi into a wave, slightly refining one’s cultivation level, and even had some tempering effect on the body.

Of course.

Despite its similarities, both in taste and efficacy, the difference between this wine and raw nectar was still quite significant.

The nectar was, after all, a natural product.

Its taste was more natural, its potency was stronger, and its aftertaste was not to be underestimated.

Seeing Li Jing take a sip of the wine and freeze in place, Domain Lord Cangming revealed a slightly smug smile.

"How is it?"

Elder Zi Xing was watching intently as well.

After glancing at both of them, Li Jing nodded.

"Good wine."

Even as he said that, he asked.

"Domain Lord, did you brew this fine wine with nectar as a reference?"

Receiving the comment "Good wine" from Li Jing, Domain Lord Cangming pursed her lips, somewhat unhappy.

The compliment seemed a bit perfunctory!

Didn’t everyone know that her wines were one-of-a-kind in the world?

Just as she was about to take the wine gourd from Li Jing’s hand, she was blindsided by his next words, causing her to pause in surprise.

"You know about nectar?"

The old Star Picker’s eyes went wide at the mention of the words "Ambrosial Nectar".

Ambrosial Nectar.

A incredibly rare heavenly treasure, it only occurs on ancient jade of divine item level that possesses the ability to create life, and its production is extremely scarce.

The Ambrosial Nectar is highly effective, capable of directly enhancing Cultivation and strengthening the physical body.

But the most extraordinary thing is.

The Ambrosial Nectar is the most natural fine wine in the world. It’s not essentially wine, but it’s known to be the top-ranked fine brew.

Did Domain Lord Cangming make this wine referring to the brewing of Ambrosial Nectar?

I want to drink!

The old Star Picker’s eyes are ablaze.

At this moment, Li Jing smiles.

"Not only do I know about it, I’ve also tasted it."

???

The old Star Picker is confused and turns his head.

Domain Lord Cangming is equally shocked, crawling onto the table and pushing her face closer to Li Jing’s.

"Is this true!? You’ve tasted Ambrosial Nectar!?"

Seeing Domain Lord Cangming abruptly clamber onto the table and nearly kissed him, Li Jing was startled and leaned back, laughing bitterly.

"Domain Lord please calm down, I just happened to obtain a few hundred jin."

"A few hundred jin!?"

Domain Lord Cangming gasped heavily.

After such a revelation, how could she calm down now?

Her wine was indeed brewed with Ambrosial Nectar as a reference.

But frankly, she had never tasted Ambrosial Nectar.

This thing was too rare.

And you have to know.

The Ambrosial Nectar is not just a heavenly treasure, it’s also an accompanying product of the divine item level ancient jade that possesses the ability to create life.

Without ancient jade, there would be no Ambrosial Nectar.

In the Immortal Realm, this kind of thing only existed in the distant past.

It has already become a thing of the past and no longer exists.

Thus, the real Ambrosial Nectar doesn’t exist anywhere in the Immortal Realm.

The allowance used by Domain Lord Cangming for brewing was the crowning work of a senior who practiced the Path of the Wine God before her ascension.

Taking a sip of Ambrosial Nectar is her dream.

Not to mention the wine-loving Domain Lord Cangming, even the old Star Picker was having a hard time holding back.

Li Jing had a deep background and he would surely have plenty of good stuff in his possession.

But he didn’t expect.

That he could even get his hands on Ambrosial Nectar, and when he did, it was several hundred jin!

This guy...

Just how much more shock is he going to bring before he’s satisfied?

As the old Star Picker was reflecting, Domain Lord Cangming crouched on the table and spun her eyes around. Suddenly, she let out a yelp and "slipped", conveniently falling into Li Jing’s arms.

"..."

The old Star Picker.

"..."

Li Jing.

This one...

Can she be any more fake?

A Domain Lord.

A position that should only be held by those in the late peak of the Twelfth Realm.

Could anyone of this level trip easily?

After her "pretend trip", Domain Lord Cangming shamelessly lingered on Li Jing’s legs, eagerly lifting her head.

"Good brother, do you still have any more Ambrosial Nectar left in your hands?"

"..."

Li Jing was speechless.

The old Star Picker on the side turned his head and covered his face.

If possible, how much would he like to sever any connections with this Domain Lord?

This is way too embarrassing!

The dignified Domain Lord, not only did she fake trip into someone’s arms for a bit of Ambrosial Nectar, she even coquettishly addressed them as good brother!

Where is her integrity?

At this moment, Li Jing was feeling somewhat awkward with Domain Lord Cangming on his lap.

This Domain Lord has shown him in no uncertain terms how unique she truly is.

Glancing at the hopeful Domain Lord on his lap, Li Jing’s mouth twitched as he pulled out a small jar of Ambrosial Nectar.

"I do have a little left. If you need it, Domain Lord, I’d be happy to give you a jin as a gift for our first meeting."

The Ambrosial Nectar in his hand was not much left.

Most of it was used up by Liu Sisi and the others during their Cultivation.

The reason this much was left was simply because this stuff was so powerful.

Even he could barely handle it, not to mention Liu Sisi and the other women.

Every time before entering Cultivation, they could only take a little sip, and then spend a lot of time absorbing and digesting it. Otherwise, they would faint and couldn’t Cultivate.

The Domain Lord Cangming had a shameless attitude, but in reality, she only held a little hope and attempted to ask.

Who would have thought that Li Jing would just bring it out when asked?

Moreover, he brought out a whole jin!

Sitting on Li Jing’s leg, Domain Lord Cangming was dumbstruck.

However, she quickly came to her senses, quickly grabbed the jar from the table, opened it to take a look, and then sniffed the unique fragrance of the Ambrosial Nectar.

It’s genuine!

Domain Lord Cangming was ecstatic, holding the jar as if it were a treasure, and then looked up and said,

"Your name is Li Jing, right? From now on, your matters are mine! If anyone in the Cangming domain troubles you, just find me! Even if the Donghua Emperor causes trouble for you, I’ll help you stand up to him!"

Li Jing was speechless.

When he came, he was thinking about how to establish a good relationship with Domain Lord Cangming. Who would have thought it could be this simple?

This person was practical.

She made a promise as soon as she received the gift.

So the question now is.

When will she get up from him?

As he hesitated whether to remind Domain Lord Cangming that this was inappropriate, she happily got up holding the jar and sat back to her original position, tidying her clothes as if nothing had happened.

"Alright, we should talk about business."

Opening the conversation, she looked at the old Star Picker in an earnest manner.

"Star Picker, you addressed Li Jing as Immortal Lord and brought him to Beilang City for a visit. Could it be that Li Jing has already established his own gate, and has met the threshold for recognition by the Donghua Immortal Palace?"

"Domain Lord is wise, this is indeed the case."

The old Star Picker nodded in response.

The previous events are something he dare not mention.

Such things should be buried in one’s heart.

If he exposes the drama of Domain Lord Canglan’s fall, the consequences could be serious.

Since we’re talking about serious matters, we should have the right attitude.

He then recounts the current situation of Chen Tang City to the Domain Lord Canglan.

In the course of the narration he either deliberately or unintentionally concealed the circumstances regarding summoning Wina and the subsequent appearance of Charming Spirit.

After Domain Lord Cangming had listened to the old Star Picker’s description, she couldn’t help but look at Li Jing with a fresh gaze.

An airborne city.

This must be the effect of the rite of the rule.

Li Jing brought out a city as soon as he ascended to the Immortal realm and even smuggled several alien species to establish Chen Tang City. This not only shows that he has a deep foundation, but also that he had planned ahead before his ascension.

Then, the use of Zhenyuan Tower as a cultivation tower.

Such a treasure is extremely rare even in the Immortal realm.

Even if it exists, no one would casually bring it out for others to use.

Cultivators are very selfish.

Only a few of them are genuinely kind.

Although it’s just a half-step Taoist artifact, its creative use as a cultivation tower is not ordinary at all and can easily incite covetousness.

That Li Jing dares to bring it out means he must be confident in his means.

From what The Elder Star Picker said about Li Jing being a master at both Taoist artifacts and cultivation on top of that, the Domain Lord Cangming becomes more and more satisfied with Li Jing.

Although he is just a newly ascended cultivator, his foundation is too deep.

Even old birds that have been dabbling in the Immortal realm for hundreds or thousands of years may not necessarily be able to match him.

After digesting what The Elder Star Picker had said for a bit, Domain Lord Cangming took a look at him, her red lips parting slightly.

"I have roughly understood your situation. According to Star Picker, applying for Che Tang Guan to become a second-level force recognized by Donghua Immortal Palace should not be a problem.

But your Chen Tang City is, after all, an emerging power. It is not appropriate for you to spread the news that you have a rare treasure like the Zhen Yuan Tower. I suggest you temporarily apply to be a five-level power. It is more appropriate and avoids too many outsiders peeking."

With that, she smiled faintly.

"Second-level powers are generally on par with the thirty-six Taoist schools of the Cangming realm. They have considerably more privileges than the fifth-level powers. However, this won’t impact you because you belong to me. Any benefits won’t leave you out."

Hearing such words, Li Jing raised his eyebrows.

Low profile, he had long lost interest in maintaining it.

He occupied the Blue Star Ascension Platform as soon as he ascended. It was really difficult for him to maintain a low profile even if he wanted to.

Since he couldn’t keep a low profile, he would definitely apply to be a high-level force if he applied.

After all, level is related to privileges.

However, with Domain Lord Cangming saying this, he felt that it was just as well to keep a low profile.

Already a key client, was there a need to care about these "privileges"?

Keeping a low profile could avoid a lot of trouble.

Without thinking too much, Li Jing nodded.

"Since the domain lord thinks applying to be a fifth-level power is more appropriate, then let’s do as the Domain Lord says."

"Agreed."

Domain Lord Cangming responded, then said.

"Investigation is a matter for the domain lord to undertake personally. Let’s skip this troublesome process, and if there’s a chance, I will visit your Chen Tang City."

After saying that, she closed her eyes.

"Give me a moment, I’m going to communicate with the people at Donghua Immortal Palace and have them register Chen Tang City."

As she spoke, a phantom appeared behind her, then quietly disappeared.

Seeing this, Li Jing was momentarily taken aback, then he looked around curiously.

"Was that Primordial Spirit Leaving the Body?"

"Yes."

The Elder Star Picker nodded, saying.

"Our Domain Lord is an extremely rare Divinity Taoist cultivator. Her Primordial Spirit is not the same as that of ordinary cultivators. She can instantly travel thousands of miles away from her body. Now she is directly communicating with the Fairy officials in the Donghua Immortal Palace in the Middle Earth Continent."

Divinity Taoist cultivator?

Li Jing blinked, very curious.

Primordial Spirit Leaving the Body is an ability of the Orthodox Immortality Path.

But the Primordial Spirit of the Orthodox Immortality Path is not that fast after leaving the body, and it appears very weak after leaving the body.

Although only the spiritual level means can hurt the Primordial Spirit, dealing with a Primordial Spirit supported by a body and a Primordial Spirit not supported by a body are two different things.

Therefore, unless it is a desperate situation, Orthodox Immortality Path cultivators usually do not bring out their Primordial Spirit and abandon their bodies to fight with spiritual world opponents for life and death.

According to The Elder Star Picker.

The Primordial Spirit of a Divinity Taoist cultivator should be particularly strong.

It’s not only faster but also not so vulnerable after leaving.

If not, how could Domain Lord Cangming dare to go as far as the Middle Earth Continent with Primordial Spirit Leaving the Body?

Li Jing was curious, and The Elder Star Picker noticed.

Given that Domain Lord Cangming won’t be back for a while, he provisionally explained a bit to Li Jing.

Divinity Taoist cultivator.

In essence, it is the cultivation of godhood.

In the grand scheme of things, Divinity Taoist cultivators and the Orthodox Immortality Path are basically the same.

The Orthodox Immortality Path also cultivates godhood.

At least among human cultivators, the focus is the growth of the Primordial Spirit.

It’s just that compared with the Orthodox Immortality Path, Divinity Taoist cultivators put more emphasis on the unity of spirit and body.

When Divinity Taoist cultivation reaches a high level, there will be no distinction between the body and the Primordial Spirit.

Their bodies are Primordial Spirits, and Primordial Spirits are their bodies.

The two merge, and the soul exists forever.

The body never perishes, and the soul always exists.

The soul is not damaged, and the body is undefeated.

Domain Lord Cangming hasn’t yet reached that point, but she’s not far off. Once she steps into the Venerable Realm, she can initially achieve the state of the eternally existing soul.

After a little exchange, Li Jing had some understanding of Divinity Taoist cultivators, and at the same time, he became very interested in them.

This Divinity Taoist cultivation method is very special.

I wonder if another Origin could be added for myself if I had the opportunity to dabble in it?

It seems that when I have time, I should make another artifact for myself and then see if there is a Divinity Taoist technique. Try to get started and see.

Just as he was thinking, Domain Lord Cangming slowly opened her eyes.

Li Jing and The Elder Star Picker both turned their attention to her.

Domain Lord Cangming also looked over with a strange expression.

Their eyes met, and Domain Lord Cangming hesitated a bit before speaking.

"Li Jing, do you know the Emperor?"

???

Li Jing.

???

The Elder Star Picker.

Seeing the puzzled expressions on both of their faces, Domain Lord Cangming spoke again with a strange look.

"The Fairy official of Donghua Immortal Palace told me that the Emperor had instructed him in advance that if they meet a force called Chen Tang City submitting an application, they are to unconditionally pass it and allow it to register as a first-level force."

"..."

Li Jing.

This wave, he is genuinely baffled.

He didn’t even know whether Emperor Donghua was male or female or what he looked like? How could he possibly know him?

Why on earth would Donghua Emperor know about Chen Tang City and even give such instructions without reason?

Subconsciously, Li Jing turned to look The Elder Star Picker.

However, The Elder Star Picker was even more baffled than him at this moment.

Li Jing ascended, and he was the one to receive him.

It hasn’t been long since then.

Not to mention knowing Emperor Donghua, he hasn’t even visited Central Shen Zhou at all. He only visited Phoenix Sun County under his escort, and then came to Beilang City, Ningluo Realm.

How could Emperor Donghua have instructed the Fairy official to particularly take care of him?

Seeing that Li Jing was looking at him, Elder Star Picker shook his head blankly to indicate that this had nothing to do with him.

At this point, Li Jing was utterly confused.

Seeing the puzzled expressions on both their faces, Domain Lord Cangming drank thoughtfully from her wine gourd, gently closing her eyes. Suddenly, she looked up again.

"Um, Immortal Lord Li, is Chen Tang City in need of more people?"

???

Li Jing.

All the other things could be explained.

What did Domain Lord Cangming mean by this?

Old Man Zhaixing, upon hearing her words, was also taken aback before he spoke up.

"Domain Lord, you should remain absolutely neutral and not join any factions within the domain..."

Before he could finish speaking, the domain lord cut him off with a small, dismissive noise.

"The rules are dead, but people are alive. I wouldn’t favor Chen Tang City in important matters. If absolutely necessary, I could join in secret. There are only three of us here. If none of us tells, who would know that I joined Chen Tang City?"

"..."

Old Man Zhaixing.

She always had strange and wonderful ideas.

She was indeed a fun person to be around.

But this...

Was a bit unorthodox.

While it’s true that rules are dead, there would be chaos without them, right?

If such a thing were revealed to the outside world, her position as the Domain Lord might have to be taken over by someone else any minute now.

Chen Tang City would then become the target of public criticism.

Generally speaking.

As a part of Chen Tang City, Old Man Zhaixing didn’t want to see this happen, and certainly didn’t want Domain Lord Cangming to act so recklessly.

After all, if something went wrong, Chen Tang City would suffer, and he might not be able to keep his position as the Immortal Official if a new Domain Lord were appointed.

But how dare he contradict Domain Lord Cangming?

Li Jing wasn’t sure what kind of impact Domain Lord Canglan joining Chen Tang City would have, nor did he know what her intentions were. However, somehow, he thought there was potential in this idea.

Mainly because...

Domain Lord Cangming was quite interesting.

In comparison...

He was more concerned about the situation with Eastern Emperor Donghua.

Considering that he hadn’t even met Eastern Emperor Donghua, Li Jing couldn’t make a guess about his situation. He glanced at Domain Lord Cangming, who was looking at him expectantly, and nodded.

"If you want to join Chen Tang City, I certainly wouldn’t mind. Aside from our instant connection, I personally quite like your character, Domain Lord."

Upon hearing his words, Domain Lord Cangming blinked a few times and chuckled before responding.

"What a coincidence, I quite like you too, kid."

Li Jing was speechless.

While he knew Domain Lord Cangming didn’t mean it that way, it was easy for people to misunderstand her words.

Seeing that Li Jing had agreed to Domain Lord Cangming’s request, Old Man Zhaixing smiled bitterly, remaining silent.

Both of them.

One was bold enough to propose, the other was bold enough to accept.

What could he, a "gatekeeper", do?

Just as he was deep in thought, Domain Lord Cangming looked at him.

"Zhaixing, you are no longer needed here. You can go back to Chen Tang City."

???

Old Man Zhaixing.

What did she mean?

Not only was she asking him to leave, she was also asking him to leave alone!?

As he was unsure how to respond, Domain Lord Cangming looked at Li Jing with a playful smile.

"Immortal Lord, it will be just the two of us in Beilang City. Isn’t the old man a bit of an eyesore?"

"..."

Li Jing.

He didn’t think he was an eyesore.

Not every cultivator favored youthful bodies, some choosing to allow their bodies to age with time. It was a choice in itself.

Whether or not one was young had little to do with a cultivator’s real abilities.

As long as one’s level of cultivation was unaffected and there were no fatal internal issues, the appearance of age, like Old Man Zhaixing’s, was only superficial.

But he couldn’t argue with Domain Lord Cangming when she said that.

A woman’s heart is as deep as the ocean, and no one can truly understand it.

Someone as capricious as Domain Lord Cangming might not take kindly to being contradicted.

The main point is...

It wouldn’t be worth it to upset a young and beautiful woman like Domain Lord Cangming over an old man like Zhaixing.

After a brief moment of consideration, Li Jing turned to the old man.

"Friend Zhaixing, why don’t... you go back first?"

"..."

Old Man Zhaixing.

He could understand Domain Lord Cangming’s attitude, but why was Li Jing asking him to leave now too?

Unfortunately, he dared not offend either of the two people in front of him.

Remembering that he could "enjoy" the Zhenyuan Tower when he got back, Old Man Zhaixing tried to calm himself down a bit and coughed lightly. "If the Immortal Lord thinks it’s the best, I’ll go back. Chen Tang City needs someone to hold it down while you’re gone."

Li Jing nodded in agreement. "Sisi and the others should be back by now. Let them know I’m fine for me."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, ripping open a spatial rift.

"It’s quite inconvenient to go back such a long way. This is a direct spatial passage to Chen Tang City."

Having seen Li Jing pulling out this move out of the blue, Domain Lord Cangming’s eyes widened.

"Spatial rule?!"

Old Man Zhaixing was also slightly taken aback, but he quickly recovered his calm.

The "surprises" Li Jing had given him were already too numerous to count.

A simple spatial rule, which was difficult for ordinary people to grasp and control, was nothing in comparison.

He bowed to Li Jing, and stepped into the rift.

Domain Lord Cangming watched him leave and watched the rift slowly close. Her eyes filled with curiosity as she looked back at Li Jing.

"Immortal Lord Li, when you mentioned Sisi and the others earlier, were they the ones who ascended with you?"

"That’s correct, three of them are my Taoist companions."

Li Jing replied.

Through Old Man Zhaixing, Domain Lord Cangming had known in advance that he had not ascended alone.

Hearing that three of them were his Taoist companions didn’t surprise her either.

It was quite normal for someone like Li Jing to have multiple Taoist partners.

Similar situations were not uncommon in the Immortal Realm.

Which of the male temple lords didn’t have a group of wives and concubines?

Even the female ones have managed to create a harem of male lovers, although it was less common compared to polygamy.

Upon hearing his reply, Domain Lord Cangming didn’t ask any further questions.

She hugged her wine gourd and tilted her head back to drink heavily, then passed her gourd over to him again, not caring that her lips and clothes were soaked with wine. She beamed a smile.

"Interestingly enough, we share the same surname, though it’s unlikely that we’re from the same family. My name is Li Lingyin. I come from Blue Star, but not the one you know. The one I’m from is at a different point in time. Over there, Blue Star is known as Earth."
