"Mr. ng turns out to be from the Spring and Autumn Alliance, and I am just about to head to your esteed alliance's Nine Virtuous Isle. I didn't expect to encounter you here," Zhao Sheng's heart stirred as he heard this, and he quickly retracted his Platinum Flying Sword and chuckled in response.
ng Quyi was initially startled upon hearing this, but his eyes imdiately lit up, and he beca more eager: "What a coincidence! We are just about to return to Nine Virtuous Isle. Why not accompany us back?" Continue your journey on My Virtual Library Empire
Zhao Sheng pondered for a mont before nodding, "It's better to et by chance than by appointnt. In that case, I'll trouble Mr. ng for his company!"
Upon hearing this, ng Quyi's face showed even greater joy, smiling warmly, "Not at all, not at all! Since Taoist Zhao has co from afar, it is ng's duty to offer the hospitality of a host."
While they spoke, ng Quyi led the way, with Zhao Sheng driving his Flying Boat and following behind.
Shortly after, in the largest guest room on the boat, Zhao Sheng and ng Quyi sat facing each other.
After pouring a cup of Spiritual Tea for Zhao Sheng, ng Quyi asked tentatively, "May I know what brings Taoist Zhao to Nine Virtuous Isle? If you don't mind saying, I hold the position of an elder in the Spring and Autumn Alliance and have so influence on the isle. If you have any matters, just say the word, and I may be able to offer so modest assistance."
Zhao Sheng thought to himself that what he wanted had indeed co to him, and hence took the opportunity to speak, "After my Foundation Establishnt, the place where I used to cultivate no longer ets my needs. I've heard that Nine Virtuous Isle is rich in Spiritual Energy and has high-level cave mansions for rent, so I am looking to rent one for cultivation."
ng Quyi was secretly delighted by this, but a hint of difficulty appeared on his face, and he hesitated, "You might not be aware. The number of high-level cave mansions on the isle is limited, and they must be prioritized for our alliance's Foundation Establishnt. To my knowledge, the cave mansions available for rent have already been rented out a long ti ago."
Zhao Sheng caught the implication in his words and astutely asked, "So there are none left for outsiders, but perhaps there are still so available internally?"
ng Quyi nodded and said with a smile, "The alliance keeps several high-level cave mansions vacant all year round, specifically reserved for Foundation Establishnt Ministers or elders for their cultivation."
Understanding dawned on Zhao Sheng, and he inquired, "I wonder if your esteed alliance is still accepting Guest Elders? Although I have only achieved Foundation Establishnt a few years ago and my power is still modest, I am quite adept at the art of talismans."
"That's no issue! As long as Taoist Zhao is interested, the Spring and Autumn Alliance welcos any Foundation Establishnt cultivator to join. Our alliance itself was ford by a group of Loose Cultivators, and we do not exclude newcors at all," ng Quyi said with overflowing joy, hastily agreeing in fear that Zhao Sheng might decline.
Zhao Sheng nodded and responded with a smile, "Then I will have to trouble Mr. ng for the introduction."
As one of the Thirty-Six Star Constellation Spirit Islands, Nine Virtuous Isle can be said to be a strategic location in the Inner Star Sea.
And the Inner Star Sea is the core region of the Shattered Star Sea, the true flourishing land for cultivators, with its excellent location and abundant Spiritual Energy. There are countless sects and clans of various sizes.
Zhao Sheng had initially planned to go to Star God Island after advancing to Foundation Establishnt and take a cross-ocean Cloud Boat back to the Central Continent.
But later, he changed his mind.
Firstly, Star God Island is the location of the Star God Palace, which would undoubtedly be filled with experts and have rigorous defense. He carried the bloodline of the Spiritual Clan, and breaking into Star God Island recklessly, if he were to be recognized, would likely end up with his life no longer in his own hands, to the point where desiring death would be a luxury.
Secondly, the Spring and Autumn Alliance would make a great place for him to cleanse his identity; staying on Nine Virtuous Isle for a few years, gathering information before making a move, would not be too late.
Thirdly, Nine Virtuous Isle is a renowned hub for Cultivation Resources in the Shattered Star Sea, with many Alchemists gathered there. In this life, Zhao Sheng wished to learn Alchemy, and there was no better place than Nine Virtuous Isle for that purpose.
