“I see. Thank you for your reminder, Shopkeeper Ren.
On the day the Myriad Treasure Trade Fair begins, my Dao companion and 1 will remember to come.”
With that, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan cupped their fists and bowed to Ren Kongming before leaving the Myriad Treasure Pavilion.
After arriving outside, the couple was not in a hurry to return to the cave abode.
Without the Spirit Cleansing Flower, they could not use Three Essence Spiritual Fruit to refine pills.
Although they could directly consume the Three Essence Spiritual Fruit and use it to try to break through to the mid-stage Golden Core,
That would be quite wasteful.
Unless there was really no other way, they did not intend to eat the Three Essence Spiritual Fruit directly.
Now, they planned to stroll around the Myriad Treasure Immortal City and see if there was anything they could use.
However, much to their disappointment, they spent half a day walking around but didn’t find anything they could use.
Just as the couple was about to return, they suddenly bumped into an acquaintance.
She was dressed in a silver gauze dress and had a peerless beauty. She was the Golden Core female cultivator they met in the Sea of Cliffs that day.
At this moment, the female cultivator also saw Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan. She was as stunned as the couple.
They clearly didn’t expect to come across each other in the Myriad Treasure Immortal City.
“Fellow Daoists, we met again.”
The woman in the silver gauze dress spoke first.
She smiled and continued, “We parted in a hurry that day. Since we’re fated to meet again here, why don’t we find a place to sit and chat for a while?
Let me introduce myself first. I’m Guan Xinting. How should I address the two of you?”
It was undeniable that this woman left a deep impression on Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan that day.
Although they fought over the Three Essence Spiritual Fruit, they also fought the demon kings as a team.
Most importantly, be it Jiang Chengxuan and his wife or Guan Xinting, they both adhered to their bottom line and didn’t scheme against each other to snatch the Three Essence Spiritual Fruits in their hands.
This was also the main reason why Guan Xinting had a friendly attitude towards Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
At that moment, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan also introduced themselves.
About their origins, they tacitly didn’t ask.
A moment later.
The group of three arrived at the private room of a restaurant called Wanlai Restaurant.
After the waiter served the spiritual tea and snacks, Guan Xinting smiled at the two of them and asked,
“Fellow Daoist Jiang and Fellow Daoist Shen, you should be here to participate in the Myriad Treasure Meet, right?”
Regarding this question, the couple did not hide it. There was nothing to hide. They nodded.
“Fellow Daoist Guan should be the same, right?”
“Yeah.”
Guan Xinting nodded.
She continued, “Then do you know that apart from the trade fair and auction section, there will also be a lecture held by a Perfected Lord to preach the Dao.
“Lecture held by a Perfected Lord?”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan widened their eyes, clearly not knowing about what Guan Xinting had said.
If this was true, they could already imagine how lively and crowded the scene would be at that time.
Opportunities to listen to Nascent Soul Perfected Lord preach the Dao were rare.
If one had a chance to attend it, they should consider themselves lucky.
“Do you know when?”
Jiang Chengxuan asked excitedly.
Guan Xinting nodded and said, “1 know. It’ll be in half a month. The location of the lecture will be the Vandu Plain 50 kilometers away from the Myriad Treasure Immortal City.”
“It’s actually not in the city?”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were surprised.
If Guan Xinting had not told them about this, they might have missed out on this rare opportunity.
Thinking of this, the couple immediately stood up and cupped their fists at Guan Xinting with an extremely solemn expression.
“Fellow Daoist Guan, thank you for telling us about this.
If not for you, the two of us would have missed this opportunity.”
Guan Xinting immediately smiled and waved her hand. “You’re being too serious.
With your identities, even without my reminder, you should be able to find out about this sooner or later.”
However, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan knew in their hearts that in a place where they barely knew anyone, gathering information was by no means easy.
Therefore, they were grateful to Guan Xinting and remembered this favor deeply.
“By the way…”
At that moment, Shen Ruyan spoke.
“Fellow Daoist Guan, do you know which Perfected Lord will be preaching the Dao on Vandu Plain?”
Jiang Chengxuan was obviously very curious about this question too. He immediately turned to look at Guan Xinting.
Guan Xinting said, “It should be Perfected Lord Xuan Yang of the Hidden Sword Palace. This Perfected Lord has publicly preached the Dao many times and supported many juniors.”
“It’s actually him?”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were both surprised.
They knew that Perfected Lord Xuan Yang had helped them stop the Golden Wolf Demon Emperor from entering the Liang Nation back then.
If not for this person, the Golden Wolf Demon Emperor might have razed the Liang Nation to the ground.
In private, some people labeled this Perfected Lord as difficult to communicate with, unreasonable, and even mean.
However, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, who had received his favor, knew that those labels were untrue.
Those who truly knew and understood this Perfected Lord would not hold such an opinion about him.
After a while.
The couple bade farewell to Guan Xinting. Before they parted, the two of them thanked Guan Xinting again and agreed to go to the Vandu Plain in half a month to listen to the preach.
At the same time.
In a shop called the Hundred Pill Pavilion.
Shangguan Yongsheng, who had brought Shangguan Maofeng to the Myriad Treasure Immortal City three years ago, looked at the two people who suddenly passed by outside the window and his eyes instantly darkened.
They were none other than Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, who had just parted ways with Guan Xinting.
Because the streets were filled with people, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan did not notice Shangguan Yongsheng’s gaze.
On the other hand, when Shangguan Maofeng noticed Shangguan Yongsheng’s expression, he immediately followed his gaze and looked out of the window of the Hundred Pill Pavilion. Then, his expression changed drastically.
“Fourth Granduncle, they are…?”
“Yeah.”
Shangguan Yongsheng put a finger to his lips, then shook his head.
He gestured for him to stop looking in that direction.
After all, at the level of Golden Core, any hostile or unfriendly gaze would be easily detected.
Shangguan Yongsheng had also considered this, so he told Shangguan Maofeng not to stare.
It was not until the couple returned to the cave abode that Shangguan Maofeng could not help but say to Shangguan Yongsheng,
“Fourth Granduncle, are those two people the culprits who killed Seventh Granduncle?
What should we do next?”
Shangguan Yongsheng couldn’t help but shake his head thoughtfully.
“There’s no hurry. I’ll find someone to find out more about them and see if they have any helpers in Myriad Treasure Immortal City.
After we completely figure out their situation, we’ll make plans.”
