Translator: 549690339
While watering the fields and casually chatting, Old Huang seemed to remember something. He shook his head and sighed, “Ah, some of my pals who often wander in the Fairy Pleasure Pavilion with me seem to be preparing for a long trip. They’ve even entrusted others to look after their spiritual fields. I wonder what urgent matters they have. I haven’t heard of any secret treasures being discovered recently.”
“Old Huang, could it be that you enjoy strolling around the Fairy Pleasure Pavilion more when accompanied by friends?” Lin Yi teased.
Old Huang looked around as if he was about to share some wisdom, “Well, they’re all like-minded comrades. We can exchange experiences and discuss which female cultivator in the Fairy Pleasure Pavilion is most bewitching.”
Then he started nagging again, “Your carelessness last time was a waste, lad. Spirit stones are easy to come by, but fairies are hard to get. If I could taste the flavor of a fairy, I would die without regret. I heard that Fairy Song is at the Foundation Establishment Stage.”
“Old Huang, your surname suits you just right,” said Lin Yi, unable to contain his laughter.
After watering the Spiritual Field and reaching the afternoon, Lin Yi specifically went to the marketplace. He did not see Li Yuan Qing and had no choice but to give up for the time being. However, he heard from Spirit Farmers in the marketplace that during the seed distribution in Sinong Palace, disciples were sent out to collect reviews on the Spiritual Field Manager.
No disciple from Sinong Palace had visited their Spiritual Field Area; perhaps because they had recently changed their Spiritual Field Manager.
So, Lin Yi changed his direction and headed toward Qing Yun City to check out what spells were available in the shops in preparation for his future needs. He also wanted to check in with some of his old friends to see if they were back in Qing Yun City.
Now, Zhang Yuan Cheng’s violation of the sect’s rules was a fact. The next step was the investigation and punishment phase. If Zhang Yuan Cheng managed to escape, it would mean that the entire Liu Yun Sect was corrupt.
Lin Yi had also considered the possibility of escaping from Liu Yun Sect if things didn’t go well. The expansion of the exit of the underground chamber was triggered by this concern.
Upon arriving in Qing Yun City, Lin Yi headed straight for the biggest shop. The way there was inescapably past the Fairy Pleasure Pavilion. As soon as he reached the entrance, the feminine cultivators standing outside persuading passer-by to enter caused all cultivators to pause momentarily.
As he observed the Fairy Pleasure Pavilion, the image of Fairy Song wearing her veil, along with the intimate scene of her preparing ink for him to draw talismans in his dreams, surfaced in his mind, and he stopped in his tracks.
Lin Yi was slightly puzzled. He did not have such feelings when he was in the Outer Sect of Liu Yun. Upon arriving at Fairy Pleasure Pavilion, these images involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
Could this be the so-called ‘seeing is believing’? Fairy Song’s charm seems really overpowering.
He shook his head, casting these images aside, and continued on his way to the shop. Just as he was about to pass a secluded alley, a middle-aged man suddenly rushed out from it with a rippling expression on his face and asked, “Fellow cultivator, would you like to see the shadows?”
Lin Yi was slightly stunned by the question, “Shadows? What shadows?” This reminded him of the earthling in a minivan selling discs with a lecherous look on his face. He also possessed such behavior, always asking, “Bro, want some discs?”
“Shadows of Fairy Song from Fairy Pleasure Pavilion! Would you like to have a look? I assure you, they’re clear and the old and young are not deceiving.” The middle-aged man responded with a wink, so much so that the dark circles around his eyes seemed to form a black halo. He looked like someone who had indulged excessively and was suffering from kidney deficiency.
Lin Yi glanced at the secluded alley and sensed the spiritual power fluctuations from the middle-aged man. Without any hesitation, he shook his head. Although Qing Yun City was a city belonging to the Liu Yun Sect, it was a mixed bag of people, and disappearances were common. He was afraid to risk getting stumbled, “No, no need, thank you.”
“Fellow cultivator, it’s not expensive at all. Two spirit stones can get you three hours of footage. They’re all different shadows of Fairy Song. It’s much cheaper than actually going to Fairy Pleasure Pavilion.” The middle-aged cultivator tried to stop him when he saw Lin Yi preparing to leave.
Lin Yi released his spiritual power, reaching for the talisman template with one hand and forming the Geng Metal Finger with another, “This is Qing Yun Immortal City, and I am a Disciple of Liu Yun Sect. Would you still dare to force a sale on me?”
“Ahem, fellow junior, there seems to be a misunderstanding. I, I’m also an Outer Sect Disciple from Liu Yun Sect.” The middle-aged cultivator hurriedly pulled out his Identity Plaque. It exuded familiar spiritual power, proving its authenticity.
“Since we’re both from the same sect, let’s part ways here.” Lin Yi retracted his spiritual power and calmly replied. An Outer Sect Disciple from Liu Yun Sect selling discs seemed desperate for Spirit Stones. He didn’t seem to care about shaming himself. However, as the saying goes, one shouldn’t care about dignity when trying to make a profit.
The middle-aged cultivator immediately saluted, “Junior, before you go, I noticed that you paused at Fairy Pleasure Pavilion just now. I figured you must have admired Fairy Song. That’s why I approached you.”
“We truly have Fairy Song’s shadows here. We’re not trying to deceive anyone. The viewing location is in a busy tavern, completely safe. We’re not interested in making profit. We’re only offering our comrades a chance to appreciate Fairy Song up close.” Finally, he patted his chest indicate assurance, once again revealing his rippling demeanor.
“Your dark circles seem genuine enough. However, I have other matters to attend to. Maybe some other time,” Lin Yi waved as he spoke. The man was so weak that he still attempted to sell discs. He’d probably consumed most of his own products.
The middle-aged cultivator bowed again, “Alright, I’ll be waiting for you whenever you’re done with your affair.” After saying that, he retreated back into the alley, disappearing from sight..
