Chapter 1558: Chapter 1558: Formal Audience
Su Yuanyuan also heard the conversation outside, actually, even if they are not invited, they would still go over.
This is also to give face to this Great Power.
After that, Qi Wen did not appear. It’s the good thing about cultivators, if you don’t appear, no one will ask, they would just think you are in seclusion.
The Tan Family knew it was because of the refining of the Ice Lotus. They also needed to refine it one after another, as their mother was severely injured this time, which really frightened them.
Three days later, another four people came, still led by a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
The Zheng Family acted somewhat aloof and arrogant. However, in front of Tian Yan, they were absolutely respectful and deferential.
Tian Yan did not treat the Zheng Family any differently. He maintained that lofty demeanor. Ten days later, two more families arrived.
It wasn’t until Feng Yan and the others came back that the Feng Family had not yet arrived.
Tian Yan sneered in his heart, the Feng Family was still as self-righteous as ever. He wondered if there were any members of the Feng Family he knew who were still alive.
He planned to visit the Feng Family to see if there were any old friends left.
Feng Yan and the others also made some gains, recognizing many Spirit Plants.
"Mr. Tan, are you planning to go into the city to look at the Elixir Recipes?"
Qi Hong smiled and nodded, "Yes, I plan to go into the city to take a look."
The disciples of the Xuantian Sect all laughed. With such a great opportunity, they definitely couldn’t miss it.
Feng Yan organized everyone to board the Flying Boat; flying with Sword Control with so many people would be too ostentatious, so it’s better to keep a low profile.
Feng Yan had already asked; the first city to stop by was the Wu Family’s Wuyong City.
The Tan brothers chatted with everyone about their experiences on Fenghua Mountain.
"Mr. Tan, I’ll give you all my Spirit Plants. If you have time, could you refine some elixirs for me?"
"Alchemy is not a problem, but you should keep your Spirit Plants; I have acquired many myself."
"Alright."
Feng Yan laughed at the side, as he was most familiar with Qi Wen.
"Master Ancestor, you haven’t advanced again, have you?"
Qi Wen nodded, "Yes, you need to work hard."
Feng Yan grimaced, "Actually, I’ve been working hard. I think I am a cultivator with a lot of potential, but after meeting your family, I have lost all confidence."
"Tsk, don’t make excuses."
"How could I be making excuses? When we first met, your parents were Foundation Establishment cultivators, you were in the Qi Refinement Realm, and I was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. But in less than twenty years, your parents are now Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators, you’re a Late-stage Golden Core, and I’m just a Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator.
I remember at that time I participated in ranking competitions with your mother. Now, in ranking competitions with other sects, at most one can be a Golden Core Middle Stage; isn’t this discouraging for us?"
"How can we be compared to them?"
"Yes, it’s no comparison. You all naturally discourage people. Master Ancestor, can you tell me how to quickly advance in rank?"
"You don’t think we’ve been using elixirs, do you?"
"How could that be? Your Spiritual Power is so solid, how could it be from using elixirs?"
"I see you have a keen eye. Actually, my parents have been through a lot. As for me, how should I put it, maybe I absorb Spiritual Power faster? Also, with the endless support from my parents and mentors, and having the liberty to use Heavenly and Earthly Treasures?"
Tian Yan found their conversation very interesting.
He laughed after hearing what the young girl said; she was definitely speaking the truth.
The Master Uncle has plenty of good stuff, which the girl could use at will. Also, the opportunities her parents had were too great, with many more Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.
"Master Ancestor, what should I do?"
Qi Wen shrugged, "How would I know? However, I’ve been washing marrow and cutting tendons since I was young, and been nurtured by various Heavenly and Earthly Treasures."
"Me too, you know, my grandfather is a peak master after all."
"Then you are just wasting it."
"How can that be? Master Ancestor, do you have any Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that can change my physique? I’ll trade with you, you can pick anything from my treasures."
"When you reach Nascent Soul, I’ll give you something good, but not now."
"Really?"
"When have I ever lied? Feng Yan became a friend after Qi Wen joined the Xuantian Sect, and he’s really good."
"Then, thank you, Master Ancestor. I will work hard to form my Nascent Soul soon."
"Let me tell you, I have a Nascent Soul Pill, and if you want, I can give it to you."
"Does Master Ancestor plan to use the Nascent Soul Pill?"
"How is that possible? It was a gift, I won’t use it."
"If Master Ancestor won’t use it, then I won’t use it either."
"I have faith in you."
Feng Yan grimaced, "I don’t even have faith in myself."
"Mindset, mindset."
Feng Yan laughed, "I will definitely adjust my mindset."
The Flying Boat, being small, allowed everyone to hear the conversation between the two. Some were tempted by the Nascent Soul Pill in Qi Wen’s possession. However, now was not the time; they’d wait until they returned to make a deal with Master Ancestor, to see what they could trade for it.
It was still Qi Yan maneuvering the Flying Boat. Once they reached outside Wuyong City, the group disembarked, all dressed in sect attire; Qi Yan and Qi Hong donned disciple attire, which was also a form of display.
The Xuantian Sect disciples’ attire was particularly elegant. Moreover, it was of high-level vestments, displaying the status and strength of the Xuantian Sect.
Su Yuanyuan and Tan Shaoting wore Nascent Soul attire, Tian Yan and Qi Wen donned Divinity Transformation Stage attire, with Qi Hao and Qi Xuan also wearing Nascent Soul Stage, though different from their parents’.
This was how they were just outside Wuyong City.
Just as they settled, someone came out to greet them. It was a Golden Core Cultivator who had met Tian Yan previously.
"Please, seniors, the Family Head sent me to welcome you. Please forgive any shortcomings."
This time, it was Feng Yan who stepped forward.
"Mr. Daoist is too polite, we have come uninvited and are disturbing you."
"Mr. Daoist is too polite, guests are always welcome, please come in."
Their group was led inside, while the cultivators in line to enter Wuyong City were very curious. After all, there were many Loose Cultivators among them, and even family disciples might not recognize the Xuantian Sect’s attire.
Qi Wen stood by Tian Yan’s side, her beautiful face devoid of expression, as she spoke to Tian Yan telepathically.
"Brother, next time don’t be so ostentatious."
"When we are out, this is how it should be."
"Don’t you find this attention abnormal, brother?"
"What’s wrong with it? Just pretend they don’t exist. It’s a great opportunity to promote our Xuantian Sect."
Qi Wen didn’t say anything further, let things be as they are?
The Golden Core Cultivator led them straight to the City Lord Mansion.
By this time, the gates of the City Lord Mansion had already opened, and a hundred or so cultivators came out to greet them.
"Brother, is this an official event?"
"Of course not. With our status, this is the kind of reception we get."
"Brother, I don’t have such a big face."
"You’re mistaken, sister, your face is bigger than mine, due to your connection with Master Uncle."
"Cough, I’m afraid of disgracing my master. It’s really embarrassing."
"How could you disgrace your master? You’re the pride of both Master Uncle and the sect."
