Chapter 95

Sui Lv Zhenjun swept all the Fish Cards away and said, "Please senior Thus: Xuantang Xingjun rest a moment at the junior's place."

After briefing Jiang Yu, do not mention Dongzhou to Lin Yuan; the others have already arrived on the deck, and he ordered Lin Yuan to stop the flying boat and the others, "Companion Xue, what's this?"

Their flying boat also stopped after approaching; Xue Qi Zhenjun, clad in a white robe and magical attire, stood at the bow with his granddaughter and said, "Just returned from the Profound Heaven Sect, long time no see, how about a little drink?"

"Sure, I was just planning to stop at the Moon‑watch City ahead." The other was Elder Yuanhou of the Falling Moon Sect; we were all in the southwest of Heavenly Origin, and even if they offered drinks early in the morning, Sui Lv Zhenjun could not possibly refuse face.

And from their appearance, it seemed they had come specifically to find me.

Only when the flying boat landed outside Moon‑watch City and Jiang Yu also got off, the other's granddaughter Xue Miao frowned slightly.

Especially when Xue Qi Zhenjun presented Jiang Yu with a meeting gift, she gave him a cold stare.

But Jiang Yu didn't care about her feeling and graciously accepted the gift.

The two Nascent Souls found a tavern to drink together and ordered the juniors to attend to matters.

So she and senior brother Lin went to the teleportation hall to buy tickets, while Xue Miao also had the same business and headed that way.

After only a few steps, she turned her head, gave Jiang Yu a cold glare, and rushed ahead of them to enter the hall first.

Lin Yuan placed his hand on his forehead, transmitted his voice, "She must be having a problem, right?"

"Who knows? Anyway we can't leave right now, let's find a place to have breakfast." Even though there was a fast‑day and time, Jiang Yu still habitually ate three regular meals a day.

The main reason was that her two dragon‑treasures were never happy without meat at each meal.

While the two were looking for a nearby eatery to order, they were unaware that Xue Qi Zhenjun was talking about her with Sui Lv Zhenjun.

"Sui Lv, do you know that the Tai Chi Fish Card from the Great Luo Celestial Realm has already appeared in our Heavenly Origin?"

"And your named disciple Jiang Yu is quite capable of obtaining one."

"You'd better ask her whether she has recognized a master, lest you miss a good opportunity." Xue Qi Zhenjun gave a self‑deprecating smile, gulped a mouthful of bitter wine.

Sui Lv Zhenjun felt a chill in his heart, "The junior just returned; there are some things about her I still don't fully understand."

"Since Companion Xue said so, I must ask her as soon as possible."

"As you just saw, my incompetent granddaughter and the junior disciple are at odds; their conflict began three years ago at an auction over a Fish Card…

…later another Tai Chi Fish Card appeared…

…sigh, I didn't expect our sect's enforcement team didn't recognize the item and put the Fish Card up for sale in a shop.

Moreover, my foolish granddaughter ran into a disciple of Qin Dao‑you from the Profound Heaven Sect; she saw the Fish Card again, despised it terribly, yet the other person instantly bought it.

After I emerged from the realm, I inadvertently learned that Qin Dao‑you's disciple recently succeeded in recognizing a master, and it was already too late." Xue Qi Zhenjun truly regretted not having told his granddaughter earlier about the Tai Chi Fish Card and the Great Luo Celestial Realm, causing her to miss the chance once or twice.

He said, "This time taking my granddaughter to the Profound Heaven Sect is also to give her a broader experience."

The senior disciple of Qin Dao‑you was also at the auction that day, and he knows your junior disciple obtained the Tai Chi Fish Card.

"I think it won't be long before Qin Dao‑you comes looking for you."

"After all, among Heavenly Origin cultivators, few have entered a Celestial Realm; having two people enter and forming a team would be even better."

Sui Lv Zhenjun drank two cups and said, "So far, only Qin Dao‑you's disciple has obtained one?"

"Additionally, the auction three years ago at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Quxi City was overseen by a Nascent Soul caretaker surnamed Qi from the Free Cultivator Alliance; he didn't even know about the Tai Chi Fish Card?"

"A newly promoted Nascent Soul, still a free cultivator, how much could he possibly know about cultivation world secrets."

"Conversely, among the four major sects, it's still unknown how many have obtained Fish Cards; those who have caught wind of them will surely be touring various markets soon, hoping to find more Fish Cards."

"I'm reaching out to you because I'm wondering whether our two families can enlist the Guiyuan and Hundred‑Refinement sects to launch a grand hunt together in the southwest."

"Otherwise, the bargains will be taken and we'll only realize it later." The reason Xue Qi Zhenjun made this suggestion is that, in the past, a few people who had the fate to enter the Great Luo Celestial Realm later all became Primordial Empress cultivators of the Heavenly Origin continent.

Sui Lv Zhenjun pondered for a moment, "This matter requires long‑term deliberation."

The two hadn't been drinking together for long when they received messages from the juniors of each side.

Xue Miao had bought a ticket, because she directly booked the next teleport.

But when Jiang Yu and Lin Yuan finished buying tickets in line, they discovered that after Xue Miao booked the whole session, they would have to wait another hour before their line could be activated.

Xue Qi Zhenjun, knowing they needed a transfer, invited Sui Lv Zhenjun to ride together to the Falling Moon Market.

"Thank you, Daoist friend. We still need to go to the Hundred‑Refinement Gate to fetch a custom‑made artifact, and will visit the Falling Moon Sect another day." Knowing that Jiang Yu and the other's granddaughter were at odds, Sui Lv Zhenjun decisively declined the offer.

He chose another short‑distance route to book, which would teleport him out even before Xue Miao's trip.

This gave Jiang Yu a taste of it: inside the teleportation hall, numerous low‑rank cultivators cast envious, jealous glances.

Because Sui Lv Zhenjun, unlike Qi Zhenjun, didn't feign humility to let low‑rank cultivators share the ride; he booked a private line solely for himself and his two disciples.

As soon as the teleportation array activated, Sui Lv Zhenjun said, "Take two more Fixed‑Spirit Pills; after we arrive we must immediately transfer again."

After Jiang Yu transferred through three teleportation arrays en route, she arrived at the Grand Void Sect Market at noon.

In the past, flying from the market back to the sect would take over half an hour, but today, with the Nascent Soul cultivator's light‑step, it only took a few minutes to reach the mountain gate.

After a moment, she was whisked up to the foot of Tai A Peak.

Sui Lv Zhenjun left Lin Yuan at the base of the peak, taking only Jiang Yu up the steps; he deliberately walked the final stretch himself.

After relaying Xue Qi Zhenjun's words to Jiang Yu, he added, "The piece you bought three years ago, have you successfully recognized its master?"

"My disciple has been approved," Jiang Yu replied, not intending to say that the Tai Chi Fish Card she successfully recognized was not the one she had bought.

She rolled up her sleeve, revealing a mark on her forearm.

Sui Lv Zhenjun nodded, "Very well, I will assign someone to personally guide you, aiming to boost your combat ability."

"And the batch of Fish Cards you brought back must not appear to have originated from your hands."

"However, the deserved rewards will be allocated tomorrow, with not a single merit point missing, transferred into your disciple's jade token."

"But with the elder's decision, I wonder whether Elder Lin and senior brother Lin could also try to recognize a master." Jiang Yu had no objection; she just wanted the benefit.

Sui Lv Zhenjun stood still, watching her, and showed no intention of speaking.

Jiang Yu was a bit confused, wondering if she was not allowed to make a personal favor.

Or perhaps Thus: Xuantang Xingjun joked inside the Dragon Pearl, "Hehe, little girl, he is your master, but since the first meeting you've called every elder a master."

Hearing this, Jiang Yu immediately bowed, "Master, I was greatly cared for by Elder Lin in the past; I wish to repay him in some measure, so please grant me your approval."

"Hmm, I'll arrange for them, father and son, to give it a try."

"You have a senior martial brother who's already at mid-stage Golden Core, currently out traveling, and another second martial sister..." Sui Lv Zhenjun is somewhat reluctant to bring it up.

Jiang Yu followed his steps, carefully recalling, everyone seemed to say that the three Nascent Soul elders each had only one personally transmitted disciple.
