Chapter 94: Never Expected It

She then looked at Jiang Tu's communication jade and saw a message sent by Mo Yizhou.

She skimmed it without paying much attention to the dragon clan matter, quickly replied to Lin Yuan, and went to the inn's doorway to greet the guests.

The innkeeper had seen Jiang Yu making a living here years ago, but she was now a different person, so he warmly offered tea and snacks.

Before long, Sui Lv Zhenjun arrived with Lin Yuan.

Jiang Yu immediately stepped forward and gave a deep bow.

Sui Lv Zhenjun lifted her with spiritual energy and handed her a bottle of Eastern Continent Stabilizing Spirit Pill, saying, "Your cultivation hasn't slipped, very good.

Take me to meet Master Luewu, and later give me a report of your observations from the past two years as a tribute to your master."

"Yes." Jiang Yu hadn't yet gotten used to calling him master, but upon meeting him she already felt the benefits of having a master.

She accepted the pill and first handed him a brief summary of the circumstances on the day of the transmission, to prevent his misjudgment.

Sui Lv Zhenjun, while walking, projected a strand of consciousness to scan the jade slip and discovered it was her own record of seeking that transmission barren island.

But the note marking the fourth encounter with Profound Capital Sword Sect's Xun Sect—what does that mean? And she herself paid the transmission spirit stones; does the little girl really have that many spirit stones?

Even many cultivators native to the Eastern Continent have never heard of the transmission island; how did she find a precise one so easily?

While pondering, Jiang Yu carefully handed over a bag of spirit stones, "Disciple has already prepared the travel fee, please forward it for me…"

During transmission, she never dared to give the top‑grade spirit stones to Master Luewu; she held that a defensive mindset cannot be lacking, and after activating the transmission array there are always various issues.

"No need, I'll cover the travel fee." Sui Lv Zhenjun didn't even glance at the bag of spirit stones and cut her off, "You are now my named disciple; once you complete the scheduled cultivation plan, you may formally become my apprentice."

"..." Jiang Yu was slightly stunned; he really takes disciples?!

Jiang Tu, inside the dragon pearl, sighed, "Wow, a million spirit stones, just spoken out for Jiang Yu; Sui Lv Zhenjun should be a good master, right?"

Xuantang Xingjun disagreed, "Only a hundred top‑grade spirit stones; that's nothing to a Nascent Soul cultivator."

Turning back, he obtained a Tai Chi Fish Token and received an even greater reward."

"The Grand Void Sect's Nascent Soul monthly quota is only five top‑grade spirit stones.

He also didn't know Jiang Yu possessed a fish token." Jiang Tu glared at him.

Sui Lv Zhenjun, unaware that someone nearby was discussing him, set aside many doubts, soon met Master Luewu, whom he had known for years, and decades earlier had formed a team to go to the Eastern Continent, their friendship being rather extraordinary.

Upon meeting, they exchanged many opinions, then waved away a few of Jiang Yu's juniors, letting them play on their own.

Lin Yuan had many questions for Jiang Yu, but with Gu Jue present, he only discussed with her the aftermath of the past sword‑testing tournament.

Jiang Yu, after listening, immediately asked, "Sister Gu and junior sister Guan, were they both caught up and seriously injured?

How are they now? No impact on their cultivation, right?"

They were nursed for over half a year and have now fully recovered; Gu Bingwen is currently in seclusion, pushing his Foundation Establishment stage.

Jiang Yu, before I set out, I already informed Wan Dao‑friend that you returned safely.

Then, this is the blank communication jade she gave me earlier; it already contains her spiritual imprint, saying that if I meet you first, I should pass it to you." Lin Yuan took out a communication jade and gave it to her.

Jiang Yu eagerly delved into her consciousness, and in an instant transmitted the news of her safety and successful foundation establishment to the other side.

Wan Xiyue replied within seconds; after receiving Lin Yuan's message, she kept waiting, "As long as you're safe, that's all. Wait, I'll come find you right away."

"Senior sister, hold on a moment. I'm currently dealing with elders of the sect outside; after I return to the sect and report, I'll go to the Taiyi Sect to find you."

"No, you should just stay honestly in the sect; I'll go find you, that's settled."

I'll ask the master for leave to go; you rest quickly." Wan Xiyue decisively rejected her proposal.

Jiang Yu, holding the communication jade, shook her head and laughed; Senior Sister Wan always treats her like a child.

"Is he a relative of Daoist Jiang?" Gu Jue was very curious; at this moment he had already switched to the Tianyuan Continent's language, and was extremely fluent.

"Yes. Sorry, I just forgot to introduce him to you." Jiang Yu immediately made the introduction.

And she kept the conversation limited to cultivation matters, never mentioning any overseas immortal realms, because she didn't know how much Brother Lin knew.

Everyone was of similar age and also young foundation cultivators, so they quickly became familiar with each other.

Sui Lv Zhenjun and Master Luewu also chatted merrily, only mentioning Jiang Yu when the conversation ended at dawn.

Master Luewu only accepted a half‑million head‑fee for the demonic cultivator, didn't ask Jiang Yu to share half of the transmission spirit stones, and said, "Honestly, I might have even benefited from your disciple's aura."

Before I arrived, the Xun Sect Daoist seemed… and also… "

He faithfully recounted the situation, "Your junior disciple is bold and fortunate."

"I accept your kind words; I won't take the spirit stones, but I'll take the spirit tea." Sui Lv Zhenjun's voice just finished, the communication jade kept flashing.

Opening it, it said that members of the dragon clan had arrived early at the Grand Void Sect to wait.

"Let them wait." Sui Lv Zhenjun was extremely helpless; that kid Lin Quan seems to grab any spirit stone.

But he still had to cover for him; after parting with Master Luewu, he considered that Jiang Yu's transmission yesterday had taken too long, so today he would dispatch a flying boat to bring her back to the sect.

He would also ask her along the way about what happened in the Eastern Continent.

Lin Yuan also wanted to hear where Jiang Yu had been these past two years, but he was tasked with piloting the Break‑Cloud Boat.

Neither Sui Lv Zhenjun nor Xuantang Xingjun expected Jiang Yu to say, "Elder, I have a transformed‑god cultivator's primordial spirit beside me."

Sui Lv was startled, "What?"

"Jiang Yu!" Xuantang Xingjun was even more shocked, having never seen such a cultivator.

Jiang Yu solemnly said, "Senior Xuantang, please come out for a meeting."

It has been ages since anyone on Tianyuan Continent achieved transformation; the elder will surely treat you as an honored guest.

She had long guessed that Nascent Soul cultivators were heading to the Eastern Continent to seek teachings.

Xuantang Xingjun let out a cold snort and remained still, but Jiang Tu, that little rascal, coordinated with Jiang Yu's spatial technique, flashing and pulling him out of the dragon pearl space.

Sui Lv Zhenjun was pondering where he had heard the name Xuantang when a seventh‑rank Mysterious Tortoise and a soul body appeared.

Jiang Yu lifted Jiang Tu, revealing its sect jade badge, "Elder, Jiang Tu is my little companion; this time we have a chance to enter the seventh rank."

Xuantang Xingjun is the Supreme Elder of the Eastern Continent Cloud Mist Immortal Sect.

"So you are Senior Xuantang, please have a seat." Upon hearing her, Sui Lv Zhenjun immediately recalled who Xuantang was.

Thus: Xuantang Xingjun glanced at Jiang Yu, then with an air of a lofty master sat down, "I have the Hua Shen insight, but I cannot guarantee you will succeed."

"To receive your direct guidance, senior, the junior is already extremely satisfied." At this moment, Sui Lv Zhenjun was more than pleased with Jiang Yu; he had been traveling to Dongzhou for decades and hadn't seen a single Hua Shen.

Thus: Xuantang Xingjun looked at Jiang Yu with displeasure, "Is that enough?"

"Thus: Xuantang Xingjun, I cannot summon you; it's hard to speak of these two years, every matter is closely tied to you." Of course, Jiang Yu certainly does not mention the spirit sword or the dragon pearl, and even Jiang Bai is not mentioned once.

She skipped those, recorded the other matters one by one on jade slips, handed them to Sui Lv Zhenjun to review, and finally spread out the forty Tai Chi fish tokens.

Since there is already a master‑disciple pretense, it would no longer be appropriate for her to submit them to Elder Lin or Elder Hu.

After Sui Lv Zhenjun finished reading the jade slips and then saw the Tai Chi jade tokens, he immediately changed the itinerary, "We must return to the sect immediately."

But, just then someone caught up with the flying boat, "But… Sui Lv Daoist?"
