Chapter 266

Of course, it can also be understood as the other side wanting to extract more news about Heavenly Origin from them.

Jiang Yu is the Guest Elder of Pursuit Origin Island, and the City Lord, this Empress-level Expert, also personally spoke with her, but the point was hoping she could give a cultivation lesson to the low-rank disciples on Pursuit Origin Island.

Sure enough, the benefits aren't free.

Jiang Yu pondered for a moment, realizing she couldn't get out of it, "City Lord, I've been in seclusion for years, focusing only on my own cultivation method."

Talking about the basics is fine, but anything too deep, I myself don't even understand.

Like last night's training, it's even rarer to encounter.

On the other hand, I've dabbled a bit in talismans, I can talk about that, but it won't take long, and I also need to discuss with others.

"Excellent, excellent. Our Pursuit Far Island borders the outer sea, we're greatly lacking a master of artifact and symbol arrays."

"You also happen to use this time to blend into life here, and it's convenient for traveling outside." The City Lord's courtesy to talents is also for future development.

He relies on the Thunder Dragon King to maintain a transcendent position between the Nine Immortals Alliance and the Dragon Emperor Alliance.

Once the Old Dragon King truly finds a way to ascend, not to mention whether the close relationship between Pursuit Origin Island and the Yao Race can be maintained, just if someone feels the island's future is worse than elsewhere, once people leave, the so-called prosperity and transcendence will quickly collapse.

So over these years, the City Lord has been desperately seeking talent and also increased cultivation of the island's own rising generation.

Jiang Yu didn't know the City Lord's thoughts, but since she agreed, she would definitely stay an extra ten days or so.

But she also wanted to inquire about True Person Nan Su's departure; unexpectedly, along the way, Golden Core cultivators from Pursuit Origin kept coming to exchange cultivation insights with her, leaving her no private time.

Jiang Tu had another kind of lucid transparency, it sent a mental message: "Don't let them leave your side, the City Lord is determined to lure you to stay longer on the island to rest."

"Think about it: going shopping means spending money, spending money means using spirit stones; you thirteen people, plus another twenty later, will definitely buy a lot of things on the island."

Jiang Yu liked its analysis, and upon the flying boat's return to Pursuit Origin Island, the group was immediately arranged in the best guest quarters of the City Lord's Mansion.

The Golden Core cultivators were again being courted in various ways, their minds clear as a mirror, so a single glance unified their opinion instantly.

The four female cultivators naturally stood together, while the several male cultivators split into two groups; everyone agreed they only needed three courtyards, not one room per person.

The City Lord's Mansion met their request and would also hold a special banquet in the evening, hosted by a group of Golden Core cultivators.

Jiang Yu and the others naturally declined all invitations, thus gaining free time, at which point they didn't care whether it was Daoist or Devil sect.

More than ten people decided to walk the streets, and they unanimously asked Guo Jue to show the way.

Guo Jue really wanted Jiang Yu to be the guide, but everyone disagreed; he very much wished his senior brother were by his side, but the senior brother's injury hasn't healed, and he remains with the master on the deserted island to recuperate.

Not long after, the group was discussing matters in a crowded teahouse on the street.

"Too enthusiastic."

"They won't not let us leave."

"It feels like they want us to be free instructors."

"But refusing seems not possible."

"Why limit us to ten days?"

Everyone thought about it but still wasn't sure: "It's not about how many days we want to teach, but how many days they want."

Xu Wu disliked everyone's hesitation, "We can't follow their idea; at most ten days."

"Don't forget, their Golden Core cultivators will soon go to Heavenly Origin."

"I also agree with ten days." Jiang Yu expressed her stance, and Guo Jue immediately sided with her.

Qin Zhuo and the two other Dao cultivators also thought ten days appropriate; any more would just sink them deeper.

Adding that three Devil cultivators also said three days, everyone agreed, and Jiang Yu would go explain to the City Lord's Mansion.

She didn't shirk responsibility; as long as Nan Su didn't leave her sight, it was fine.

With the matter settled, the crowd no longer sat idly in the teahouse; each went to wander this exotic market according to their own tastes.

Xu Wu and the three female cultivators, thanks to Jiang Yu's introduction, ran to several shops and bought the clothing and accessories commonly worn on Dragon Emperor Island, also selected some medicinal pills not available in Tianyuan, and only then arrived at the teahouse before the midnight curfew to wait for the others.

The female cultivator from the Demonic Sect who had once sought out Fuju True Lord found it unbelievable; she, surnamed Tian, said: "There actually is a curfew?"

Another female cultivator surnamed He asked: "How do they explain cultivators entering the island in the middle of the night?"

Jiang Yu also didn't understand; anyway, here they don't allow wandering around in the second half of the night, "Customs differ, I've heard that the Holy Island where the Dragon Emperor Alliance is located has no curfew."

Moreover, this curfew only applies to those below Foundation Establishment; besides, aside from inns, shops don't open.

"Not just that, the Chunlou is open for business at night." The female cultivator surnamed He's question was pointed, but as soon as she finished speaking, Qin Zhuo and Guo Jue hurriedly came walking against the crowd.

Jiang Yu's heart tightened; she quickly walked out of the teahouse, and the other three followed, asking, "What happened? Where are the others?"

Guo Jue lowered his head, silent; Qin Zhuo gave a light cough, "They're all in the entertainment quarter listening to music, staying overnight tonight."

Jiang Yu and the three others were instantly speechless; Guo Jue raised his head and said, "The Fellow Daoist Lu of the Lingxu Sect said it's easy to gather news there."

"Hehe, let's go back." The female cultivator surnamed He began to suppress a laugh, then couldn't help laughing out loud, drawing some cultivators to glance at her.

The female cultivator surnamed Tian gestured for her to stop laughing, "Their reason is legitimate, and they are all seasoned true persons; this is a makeshift team, we can't meddle in such trivial matters."

Jiang Yu and Xu Wu exchanged glances, but after thinking, they realized the entertainment quarter was indeed a reliable source of information.

Regardless, this group of over a dozen people temporarily served as instructors on Pursuing Origin Island, and it was quite relaxed: teaching low-level cultivators by day and strolling the streets in the afternoon.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye; they hadn't waited for the latter two batches from Tianyuan, and after contacting Master Wu, they received the message: "Approximately, according to the rankings, you are free to act as you wish."

Not to mention a few demonic cultivators, even Jiang Yu and her companions didn't want to continue the monotonous routine on the island.

After completing the handover of teaching duties with the lord's manor, they eagerly boarded the teleportation array to leave.

The steward guarding the teleportation array on Pursuing Origin Island, seeing so many Golden Core cultivators teleport for the first time, was delighted, hugging a large sack of spirit stones.

After the group teleported to another island, they immediately went their separate ways.

Xu Wu saw Jiang Yu lingering at the teleportation array, not leaving, and asked somewhat strangely, "Aren't you going to wander around the new island?"

"This island belongs to the Nine Immortals Alliance." Upon Jiang Yu saying that, she immediately understood and asked, "Do we need to disguise ourselves?"

"My senior uncle advised to walk openly and righteously."

"But for safety's sake, I will disguise myself; in three months, let's meet at the Holy Island's city gate." Actually, Jiang Yu was waiting here for Nan Su to go and return.

"Jiang Yu, are you going alone?" Guo Jue was slightly surprised, and Qin Zhuo also didn't quite understand.

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "I have Jiang Tu, and I've also taken on another mission; everyone just needs to stay in contact."

Xu Wu hesitated for a moment: "Are you sure about three months?"

Jiang Yu nodded; after the three exchanged glances, they no longer pressed her, and thus they left the transmission hall together.

She also, not long after, found an inn, changed her appearance, and went to the transmission hall again to wait.

Jiang Tu asked her: "Are you sure Nan Su will take the transmission array, rather than flying away on his own?"
