Chapter 96: Good Good Good

After descending about a dozen steps, Sui Lv Zhenjun still told her, "When your second senior sister is about to form her Golden Core, she cannot break the emotional bond and insists on marrying into the Lingxu Sect."

A few years later that person formed the Golden Core before her, then shifted affection to another Golden Core female cultivator; in a fury she dragged that person to the Yellow Springs together.

Jiang Yu, my master does not oppose his disciples pairing up for dual cultivation, but first, they must not be Lingxu Sect disciples; second, try to keep that person in Grand Void Sect—can that be done?

"Master, I seek the Dao with all my heart, only wishing for a few more centuries of longevity.

And also to find my parents, to secure them a hundred years of long life, a worry‑free existence." Jiang Yu's goal was very clear.

Sui Lv Zhenjun turned his head to glance at her, said nothing more; there are many female cultivators on the path within the sect.

For example, junior sister Fu Ju cultivated all the way to Nascent Soul, and Ling Ci also devoted herself entirely to training; such matters depend on each person's karmic affinity.

Sui Lv Zhenjun would not interfere further; shifting tone, he sent a telepathic message: "Where is the seven‑step little dragon? Think it through before answering me."

Jiang Tu also sent a telepathic message: "What did he guess?"

Jiang Yu hesitated half a second, "We split up in East Continent; I do not know his whereabouts."

"Your reaction was slow; later when you saw Dragon King Ao Yuan, you only said that after you teleported you woke up alone, with no one beside you.

Take this; after you turn back and your spirit recognises its master, it will guard you within your Sea of Consciousness, and any cultivation below the Hua Shen stage cannot extract souls from you." Sui Lv Zhenjun's hand flashed with mysterious light, and an object fell into Jiang Yu's hand.

Thus: Xuantang Xingjun recognized at a glance, "Forbidden Life‑Preserving Talisman! Your master can draw this talisman, but it not only consumes mana, it also costs a great deal of vital blood."

It seems that you handed over those jade plaques; he is quite pleased with that.

He previously said that only after you complete a certain cultivation plan will he formally accept disciples?

"We'll discuss it later," Jiang Yu said, seeing Sui Lv Zhenjun quicken his pace, and she hurried to keep up.

Upon reaching the summit and entering the Grand Void Hall, before she could even pay respects to Sect Master Lin Quan, the two dragons had already flashed into view before her.

Before Dragon King Ao Yuan could speak, another handsome dragon beside him jumped straight to the point, "Little friend Jiang Yu, where is Ao Ze?"

Jiang Yu felt a shock in her heart and stepped back two paces; the talisman script in her Sea of Consciousness instantly burst into myriad rosy lights, firmly shielding her spirit.

"Hmph, Ao Yuan, this is not a place for you to act recklessly.

How dare you use soul‑confusing techniques on my disciple?" Sui Lv Zhenjun immediately raised his palm and struck the handsome Dragon King, instantly blasting him out of the hall.

Sect Master Lin Quan also delivered a spiritual‑force punch, smashing it hard onto the dragon's face.

Ao Yuan saw the person fall to the ground spitting blood, his complexion grim, and hurriedly blocked Sui Lv Zhenjun, bowing and saying, "Comrade, calm your anger; he is Ao Ze's biological father Ao Juan, who is overly anxious to find the child."

Then he turned to Ao Juan outside the hall, swung his palm and knocked the newly risen man unconscious, "He has been a bit deranged in his search for the child over the past two years; I hope you can understand a bit."

"He's lying! I don't have such a father," Ao Ze snarled within his dragon pearl, "Ao Juan used me to trade for his advanced pills; he's unfit to be a father.

When they besieged my mother, he even stepped forward to persuade surrender and fought alongside them."

Jiang Tu saw his eyes blood‑red, pushed him back to the wooden hut, "Don't be angry; when you reach the Ninth Stage and return to slay the Dragon Race, you can punish him then."

Rest assured, we've gathered so many spiritual stones, and Jiang Yu has also received rewards; we will definitely exchange them for plenty of pills that enhance cultivation.

Ao Ze roared wildly, "I will kill him and destroy the Dragon Court!"

"Good, good, good," Jiang Tu said soothingly; inside the hall, Dragon King Ao Yuan had already produced a Fire‑Evasion Pearl to compensate Jiang Yu.

The latter, seeing Sui Lv Zhenjun nod, accepted it.

And when Ao Yuan asked about Ao Ze, he recited the answer as his master instructed.

Ao Yuan didn't believe, "So, later there was not even a hint of his whereabouts?"

Jiang Yu shook her head, "No. Once I find a place with cultivators, I go into seclusion to train."

Ao Yuan pressed further, "Little fellow, could you tell me where the teleportation was to?"

"To the East Sea region; she was fortunate to encounter an enlightened fellow, which allowed her to return from there.

You can go to the Great Awakening Temple to ask, or go yourself to the West Sea of East Continent to find her, Lin Quan, see you off." This time, Sui Lv Zhenjun answered personally.

Ao Yuan sighed helplessly; although he possessed the same post‑Nascent Soul cultivation as the person before him, he couldn't win in a real fight, so he could only carry the unconscious Ao Juan away.

And after flying a thousand li away from Grand Void Sect, he gave Ao Juan a kick to wake him, "Look at the trouble you've caused; your mind's flooded, using secret techniques on the human sect's disciples."

"Chief, I also want to find Ao Ze as soon as possible."

"So that the secret of the Dragon Pearl won't be discovered by the human race."

"When she was frightened, her breath became unstable, which made it easier for me to use blood‑line sensing." Ao Juan spat another mouthful of blood, secretly glancing at the chief's expression.

"Did you sense anything?"

"No."

"Hmph, clever on your part. You go back; I'll make a trip to the Great Awakening Temple."

"Chief! I fear it's unsafe for me alone." Among human cultivators, many enjoy hunting high‑rank Yao Race.

"Useless." Ao Yuan took him and flew toward the Great Awakening Temple.

Meanwhile, everyone inside the Grand Void Hall had already arrived at Qu Tu Peak, where Fu Ju Zhenjun was.

Earlier, Fu Ju Zhenjun had taken a restorative divine pill brewed from East Continent spirit herbs and had recovered, "Senior brother Lin Quan, you're both in such a hurry…"

"Take a look at Jiang Yu's spirit," Sui Lv Zhenjun considered that the junior disciple was an adult female cultivator, making further probing of her spirit inappropriate.

"Huh? Master, with Thus: Xuantang Xingjun present, I'm fine," Jiang Yu thought it was about the Tai Chi Fish Plaque; she certainly didn't want anyone probing her spirit.

"Senior Hua Shen?" Sect Master Lin Quan and Fu Ju Zhenjun said in unison.

At Sui Lv Zhenjun's signal, Jiang Yu summoned Thus: Xuantang Xingjun once more, and obediently stayed aside, watching the other side play the sage.

And the sect's three Nascent Soul members each wore their own filters, indeed showing great respect to Hua Shen cultivators.

After reviewing Jiang Yu's East Continent jade tablet, especially the arrangement of forty Tai Chi Fish Plaques, they recognized it as an old Cloud Mist Sect artifact and lavished praise on Thus: Xuantang Xingjun.

Jiang Tu sighed, "He was flattered to the point of dizziness by the elders, and actually agreed to reside in Grand Void Sect's Secret Valley to nurture souls."

"Spiritual Sword, do you want to take it with him as well?"

"He probably intends to use the Secret Valley to retrieve the fragment soul recorded in his Golden Register; the Spiritual Sword will be entrusted to Ao Ze and also taken into the Secret Valley."

"Taking them out together makes things very inconvenient." In fact, Jiang Yu personally thought that a handle‑less Spiritual Sword's space was also a half‑finished product.

Once a person enters, it cannot become invisible; at most it can produce various spirit grains.

"Oh right, those two dragon‑ginseng fruits—do you want me to transfer them to you as well?"

"No, I'm not like Ao Ze; after eating it once you can't eat it again for a hundred years. If you transfer them over, I'll surely be unable to resist the temptation to eat them."

"Fine then." While the two Jiangs whispered, the three Nascent Soul cultivators present had already decided to support True Lord Xue Qi of the Falling Moon Sect's proposal.

Let our own disciples publicly search for the Tai Chi Fish Token within our jurisdiction, to obscure its origin.

"When the time comes, let Ling Zhang inadvertently discover this bundle of Fish Tokens, so that every sect receives the news and profit‑sharing can begin." The Sect Master of the Forest Spring Sect, taking the Cloud Mist Immortal Sect's massacre as a warning, knows the advantage cannot be taken alone.

Jiang Yu thought it was fine; the Grand Void Sect would certainly take the lion's share, and the other sects taking the Fish Tokens would not only owe a great favor, but when the Celestial Realm later yields treasure they must share another ten or twenty percent—that's the rule.

And she will not be the only Heavenly Primordial cultivator to enter the Great Luo Celestial Realm.

Soon after sending Ao Ze and Xuantang Xingjun into the Secret Valley, Jiang Yu asked oddly, "Master, won't you and the elders try to recognize a Fish Token together?"
