「Jiangnan.」
「Celestial Cyan Workshop.」
A group of Female Disciples wielded their swords in the courtyard, their figures delicate, and their moves imbued with a unique flavor.
Yan Ruyu sat at a desk at the Entrance of the Great Hall with an indifferent expression, holding a scroll in one hand and toying with a Flashlight in the other. This Flashlight was the very one Flourishing Flowers had given her. As her fingers moved, the Flashlight rotated between them. However, her gaze remained fixed on the scroll in her hands.
Yesterday afternoon, Kong Qingquan had visited, ntioning a fateful opportunity and asking if she wanted to pursue it. Nowadays, with great upheavals everywhere, people in Jianghu felt insecure.
A fateful opportunity? Such matters were better left for people like Kong Qingquan and Zhao Qixian to pursue. She, Yan Ruyu, simply wanted to stay in the Celestial Cyan Workshop.
Although she said this, she was still sowhat curious about this so-called fateful opportunity. Kong Qingquan was a revered Sub-Sage; he wouldn't deceive her. Perhaps the fateful opportunity was real. But her reason for not pursuing it was simple—the group of Female Disciples at the Celestial Cyan Workshop. As long as they were safe, her skies were clear.
"Shopkeeper Yan!"
At that mont, a shout ca from the celestial do above.
The Female Disciples practicing swords in the workshop's courtyard stopped and looked up towards the sky.
A streak of light approached rapidly, surrounded by swirling sword energy. What was most shocking was that this person was flying through the air. To be precise, he was soaring upon a Flying Sword.
This spectacle completely captured the attention of all the Female Disciples, many of whom had expressions of shock.
"Oh my, he's actually flying here on a sword."
"This person looks sowhat familiar; he seems to have so resemblance to Flourishing Flowers from the Profound Yellow Sect."
"The people of the Profound Yellow Sect are reincarnations of Immortals, so so changes in their appearance are quite normal. Besides, the only one from their sect who seems interested in our Shopkeeper is that disciple, Flourishing Flowers."
"Truly worthy of an Immortal, to be able to achieve Sword Flight! Our Shopkeeper is certainly favored to attract such a person."
Yan Ruyu, too, was taken aback, watching the approaching Flourishing Flowers with a hint of surprise.
She was well aware of this Profound Yellow Sect Disciple's feelings. So things she understood better than anyone. But her status was unmistakable, not to ntion her age; so things simply couldn't be. She didn't know how to deal with this Disciple from the Profound Yellow Sect, Flourishing Flowers.
Flourishing Flowers leaped down from the Flying Sword. Heedless of the gazes of the nearby Female Disciples, he hurriedly took several steps forward and produced a Ring from his robes.
"Shopkeeper Yan, this Storage Ring was crafted by a junior brother of my Sect—it can hold items within a One Cubic ter space."
Flourishing Flowers, his face full of excitent, pulled out several items from it.
"This is Spirit Grass cultivated by our Sect; eating it will help improve your Realm."
"There's also this bucket of Spiritual Spring Water; drinking it can enhance your Constitution through Refining Essence, leaving you untainted by dust."
"This is a Black Wolf Demonic Beast I hunted in the Demon Beast Forest yesterday; its at is delicious and can also improve your Constitution."
Listening to him ramble on, Yan Ruyu felt a bit overwheld.
Storage Ring, Spirit Grass, Spiritual Spring Water? These things, existing only in tales, were actually possessed by the Profound Yellow Sect? And what on earth was the Demon Beast Forest?
In an instant, a myriad of mysteries rained down on her, also making her recall the fateful opportunity Kong Qingquan had ntioned yesterday. Could it be that the fateful opportunity referred to by Kong Qingquan was this?
Flourishing Flowers handed the Storage Ring to Yan Ruyu and said with an eager smile, "You should wear it and try it out, then perform the recognition. The space might be a bit small, but later, when my junior brother creates Storage Rings with larger space, I'll bring one over for you."
"My junior brother specifically researched this Storage Ring. It enables video calls across thousands of miles, aning you can see , and we can talk as if we're face-to-face. In the future, it will incorporate even more features. He is still developing them, and they will automatically update onto the Storage Ring."
Hmm? Face-to-face communication over thousands of miles? Could this really be an item used by Immortals?
Yan Ruyu hesitated for a mont but still put it on her finger.
Next, a pale blue screen appeared in front of her. After scanning for authentication, it fully bound itself to Yan Ruyu.
Flourishing Flowers also put on his own Storage Ring. After authentication, he hurriedly grabbed his Flying Sword and ran towards the Great Hall in the back.
Just then, Yan Ruyu's Ring gently vibrated.
[Incoming call from friend Flourishing Flowers. Accept?]
Incoming call from a friend? Accept?
To her surprise, Yan Ruyu accepted the call on the Storage Ring, and Flourishing Flowers' face appeared. In the background were so of the interior Buildings of the Celestial Cyan Workshop's inner hall.
"Shopkeeper Yan? Can you see ?"
Flourishing Flowers grinned. "This is the video call. You can just tap the circle on the screen to turn it off."
Under Flourishing Flowers' guidance, Yan Ruyu tried it out.
Indeed, the video call was imdiately disconnected.
An Immortal Artifact! This was definitely an Immortal Artifact. Not only could it store things, but it also allowed you to speak face-to-face with others. Such an object was beyond the understanding of ordinary mortals like them.
"My heavens, can we really talk face-to-face?"
"This must be a thod of the Immortals, right? This is my first ti seeing such a treasure."
"The one I fancy, Chaotic Dance Steps, is also in the Profound Yellow Sect. I wonder if he has such a divine Immortal object."
"Their nas are so strange, but that must be part of the Immortals' uniqueness."
Yan Ruyu was rooted to the spot, looking at the Ring in her hand and the items on the desk, unsure of what to do.
She naturally cherished such an Immortal Artifact. However, there was a gap between her and Flourishing Flowers, and not a small one at that.
She looked at the Disciples with their gossip-filled faces and frowned. "Continue with your sword practice, don't slack off!"
Seeing their Sect Leader getting angry, all the Disciples imdiately resud their sword practice.
Still, they were sneakily glancing over in this direction.
Flourishing Flowers reckoned his ti was about up and hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper Yan, you can decide what to do with these things. If you have ti, just contact . I have to go to the Demon Beast Forest for a Task now; otherwise, Chaotic Dance Steps will scold again for slacking off."
Demon Beast Forest?
Watching Flourishing Flowers leap onto the Flying Sword, Yan Ruyu was also sowhat curious.
What does it feel like to fly with a sword? And what kind of place is this Demon Beast Forest?
"Wait a mont!"
Yan Ruyu hurriedly stopped Flourishing Flowers, saying, "Take to the Demon Beast Forest. I want to see it."
Upon hearing this, Flourishing Flowers' face lit up with joy.
This was a good thing. He could complete his Task and also have close contact with Yan Ruyu. Heh heh!
"All right!"
Flourishing Flowers nodded in agreent. He then ford a hand seal. The Flying Sword under his feet instantly doubled in size, becoming just large enough for two people.
Of course, it could beco even bigger, but why bother? Isn't it perfect for two people?
Yan Ruyu, looking at the enlarged Flying Sword, had an even greater look of amazent in her eyes.
It seed that during the ti she was away from the Profound Yellow Sect, there had been quite a few changes within the Sect. Not to ntion that Flourishing Flowers was at the sa Realm as her. Just this ability of Sword Flight alone was sothing ordinary people would rarely see.
"Xuan Rou, as the Senior Sister, you watch over the Sect for now. I will be back soon after I take a look."
Yan Ruyu had just finished speaking when Flourishing Flowers turned back to say, "Don't worry, my Flying Sword is very fast. It'll take, at most, the ti it takes to drink a cup of tea to reach the Demon Beast Forest."
The ti it takes to drink a cup of tea? Could it be that the Demon Beast Forest is not far from Jiangnan?
Everyone was also curious about the Demon Beast Forest.
Flourishing Flowers stood on the Flying Sword and smiled. "Shopkeeper Yan, let's set off now. Just step on; you don't need to worry about falling off!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyu stepped up. The feeling of suspension was different from executing lightness skills. Moreover, the Flying Sword under her feet was incredibly stable, without the slightest shake. Even so, Yan Ruyu still grabbed onto Flourishing Flowers' clothes. She had seen the height from which Flourishing Flowers had descended on his Flying Sword; so fears are impossible to conceal.
"Flowing Cloud! Rise!"
Flourishing Flowers ford a hand seal, controlling the Flowing Cloud Flying Sword. In an instant, they were at an altitude of a hundred zhang.
At that mont, Yan Ruyu gripped even tighter, terrified she would fall. Everything below had shrunk; in her eyes, Jiangnan had beco palm-sized.
Sword Control Travel! Was this the thod of Immortals?
Yan Ruyu's pretty face turned pale with fear, and she clenched her eyes shut, not daring to open them.
Flourishing Flowers naturally felt the tightening grip on his clothes, and his smile grew even brighter.
This display was a huge success!
In the ti it takes to drink a cup of tea, they had already arrived near the Celestial One Daoist Sect.
Yan Ruyu kept her eyes tightly shut until they landed. The speed had been too great, and she had closed them the mont they departed.
"Shopkeeper Yan, we've arrived!"
Flourishing Flowers chuckled.
Yan Ruyu humd softly, like a mosquito.
Looking at the familiar Buildings around her, she asked in amazent, "Is this... the Celestial One Daoist Sect?"
That's right! It was the Celestial One Daoist Sect. Taibai Hall was right in front of her; she could not mistake it.
"The people from the Celestial One Daoist Sect have already left. They were scouted by people from the Celestial Splendor Sect, and by now, they must have all departed from the Demon Beast Forest," Flourishing Flowers explained. "The entrance to the Demon Beast Forest is in the Back Mountain Forest Sea of the Celestial One Daoist Sect. Sword Flight isn't permitted there, so I'll walk you over directly."
So Players erged from the Teleportation Array. Seeing Flourishing Flowers with a Female NPC, they looked puzzled.
"Damn, Flourishing Flowers really knows how to have fun, actually bringing a Female NPC on a Flying Sword."
"If you did that 'thing' on a Flying Sword, would it count as 'sword-trembling'?"
"Bro, you're moving a bit too fast; I almost didn't catch on. 'Sword-trembling,' seriously!"
"He's a true Lord, taking playing with a Flying Sword to a whole new level."
Flourishing Flowers couldn't be bothered with them and directly led Yan Ruyu towards the Demon Beast Forest. Along the way, he also explained the situation at the Celestial One Daoist Sect. The Celestial One Daoist Sect was now deserted, effectively becoming the Profound Yellow Sect's backyard. And with the ergence of the Qi Cultivation Realm, he also brought Yan Ruyu up to speed.
As they walked towards the Demon Beast Forest, the shock inside Yan Ruyu was unparalleled.
Players bustled back and forth, carrying Demonic Beast Corpses. So even tead up to haul larger, more ferocious-looking ones. Her heart leaped into her throat. Are these the Demonic Beasts? It seed that the monsters she encountered in the Nine Dragons Secret Treasure were indeed what the Profound Yellow Sect Disciples called Demonic Beasts. I can't believe the Profound Yellow Sect Disciples have beco so powerful; have they really advanced this far? Almost none of the Disciples she encountered were below her Realm. She even saw one whose aura was similar to that of Kong Qingquan and the others she had known. Terrifying! The Disciples of the Profound Yellow Sect had improved so incredibly fast!
So Players from Cloud Lant saw Flourishing Flowers bringing Yan Ruyu over and greeted him cheerfully. A few even directly called her 'Sister-in-law,' which made Yan Ruyu sowhat embarrassed.
Flourishing Flowers, however, looked at them with satisfaction and morized their nas.
These guys really knew how to talk. He would reward them with Contribution Points when he got back!
