Chen Xuan smiled upon hearing this, flipped his hand and took out a lustrous, jade-like pill, handing it over casually: "I won't take advantage of you for nothing. Try this little gadget that I made on the spur of the moment."
The bearded shopkeeper, having lived in Qingtian City for three generations, was quite knowledgeable and immediately recognized that the pure spiritual energy emanating from the pill was extraordinary. He reluctantly accepted it, stubbornly joking, "..."
"It's not some kind of poison pill, is it? Selling you that hair ornament for thirty source stones is practically selling it at cost price."
Chen Xuan remained noncommittal, only smiled faintly, then took Xia Jiuyou's small hand and slowly walked towards the end of the street.
Feeling the questioning gaze from the girl beside him, Chen Xuan's eyes warmed, and he chuckled as he explained, "Before I entered the Daoist path, I was very poor, and I would haggle with merchants like this when buying odds and ends."
"I never imagined you had such a hidden past." Xia Jiuyou's pupils contracted slightly, then he looked down at the Empress's hair ornament in his hand. The gold shimmered and the phoenix feathers shone with light. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He carefully put it into his storage magic treasure, and the cool touch of the hair ornament still lingered on his fingertips.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan said with a hint of teasing, "When the time is right and I marry you, you can wear this Ming Dynasty imperial headdress, how about that?"
Xia Jiuyou bit her red lips lightly with her pearly teeth, abruptly turned her head away, her ears turning red, and after a moment whispered like a mosquito: "Who wants to marry you? I'd rather kill you than not. You wish."
A slightly ambiguous atmosphere filled the air, and Xia Jiuyou quickly changed the subject, looking around: "Where is your sect?"
Chen Xuan smiled, and with a slight thought, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth flowed around him, and pale golden Dao patterns enveloped the two of them. Their figures instantly disappeared from the spot.
wow——
High above, the wind howls, and below, the mountains are shrouded in mist. On the summit of more than a thousand mountains, ancient buildings are scattered among them, their eaves and brackets glowing with a faint spiritual light. This is the mountain gate of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Purity Palace.
"Nine Heavens Profound Purity Palace?" Xia Jiuyou instantly expanded his divine sense, enveloping the entire sect and taking in its interior. He commented.
"Although the foundation is somewhat weak, with only three Void Reversal Realm cultivators and two Loose Immortals in charge, the aptitude and talent of the disciples under the sect are barely acceptable."
“That is Beiming Peak.” Chen Xuan nodded, holding Xia Jiuyou’s hand, ignoring the detection of the sect’s immortal-grade array spirit—to the two of them, this not-so-refined immortal-grade array was nothing.
The two held hands and flew slowly towards Beiming Peak.
As he flew closer, Chen Xuan's gaze involuntarily fell upon the Burial Mountain near Beiming Peak. There, the Immortal Abode stood silently. He sighed softly, "Senior Brother Kaixuan, has he indeed been guided to the outer realms?"
As soon as they finished speaking, the two figures flickered and reappeared, landing steadily in the small courtyard atop Beiming Peak.
Having not returned for over a thousand years, the courtyard remains spotless, the bluestone path is as smooth as new, and the several acres of spiritual fields outside the courtyard are well-maintained, with the spiritual crops growing vigorously, clearly indicating that they are often cared for by living beings.
"I must say, although this sect's strength is average, the disciples' living environment is quite elegant." Xia Jiuyou walked slowly towards the mansion in the center of the courtyard, her fingertips brushing against the carvings on the pillars, and commented in a low voice.
“Of course, the Nine Heavens Profound Purity Palace is the number one sect in Qingtian County.” The two walked into the mansion side by side. The furnishings in the hall were still the same, the stone door of the secluded meditation room was tightly closed, and the tables and chairs in the second-floor residence were exactly the same as they were a thousand years ago. There were familiar traces everywhere.
As his divine sense swept across the spiritual fields at the foot of the mountain, Chen Xuan sensed the auras of several descendants of the Five Immortals. He sighed, "Bai Li followed the second primordial spirit back to Longxia County. Otherwise, these little guys would definitely be very happy to see her."
As night fell, the bright moon hung high above the Nine Heavens Mysterious Purity Palace, and the stars shone brightly, casting a gentle glow that enveloped the entire sect in tranquility.
Xia Jiuyou followed suit and set up a bonfire in the courtyard, clumsily roasting the spirit bird. He was so busy that fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
