Fortunately, she wasn’t a female cultivator who practiced any sinister cultivation techniques, had long been indifferent toward romantic feelings between n and won, and harbored no thoughts of falling in love with a handso young man; she purely admired Li Yuanba with appreciative eyes.
"Ancestor Ling, please!" Li Yuanba bowed and made a gesture of invitation.
He had almost forgotten his own appearance; initially, he used his looks as a weapon because any cultivator who saw his face would montarily be dazed, giving him a chance for a fatal strike.
However, as his strength swiftly increased, he no longer needed to use his appearance as a weapon.
The appearance of Li Yuanba was perfected through a significant amount of computation analysis by IBM z15, referencing a vast amount of facial data, combined with many related studies from a previous life, and accomplished through microter-level surgery in the server room initially.
"Eh, already at the Golden Core Middle Stage at just forty years old, Mr. Lu, Mr. Jian, the Senluo Sect has indeed produced a genius!" Ancestor Ling Xueling, just about to leave, suddenly noticed the special aspect of Li Yuanba and couldn’t help but stop and exclaim.
"Not at all, he is Jian Wuwei’s disciple, and his talent is decent!" Ancestor Lu said modestly with a smile in his eyes.
Ancestor Ling Xueling didn’t say anything further because she sensed another Nascent Soul Ancestor approaching, and she didn’t want to be seen receiving the guest with the host, which could lead to misunderstandings about the relationship between the Beishu Trading Company and the Senluo Sect.
While it seed that the Beishu Trading Company was close to the six major sects, it was actually neutral, which allowed for its comprehensive developnt on the Beishu Continent.
Being misunderstood could certainly affect the developnt of the Beishu Trading Company.
The other Nascent Soul Ancestor also seed to notice the situation and intentionally slowed down.
When Li Yuanba led Ancestor Ling Xueling to the resting area and turned back, Ancestor Lu was already in conversation with a Nascent Soul Ancestor.
"Yuan Ba, co and et Ancestor Zhan!" Ancestor Lu waved to Li Yuanba.
"Li Yuanba pays his respects to Ancestor Zhan!" Li Yuanba stepped forward and greeted.
"Li Yuanba, I have indeed heard of him, he suppressed a group of cultivators at Jieshan, much like Mr. Jian in his early days!" Ancestor Zhan looked at Li Yuanba and smiled.
Li Yuanba heard Elder Sword transmitting to him, introducing the identity of this Ancestor Zhan.
This was a Nascent Soul Ancestor from the Thousand Illusion Sect, no wonder he knew about the events at Jieshan Mountain Pass.
"Mr. Zhan flatters !" Elder Sword interjected with a laugh.
Li Yuanba was curious about the relationships between the Nascent Soul Ancestors; he observed that their interactions seed free of the usual distinctions between the Righteous and Demon paths.
"Li Yuanba, this is my disciple Ling Qin, get to know each other well!" Ancestor Zhan unexpectedly introduced the cultivator Ling Qin standing behind him to Li Yuanba.
The aura of Cultivator Ling Qin was incredibly robust, truly that of a Great Elder.
This was yet another Great Elder whom he had never t before; even considering his original identity, Li Shiming, and his relationship with the Thousand Illusion Sect, he had not heard of this Great Elder Ling Qin.
Of course, this was understandable, as cultivators of the Great Elder level within the Golden Core stage were often in closed-door cultivation.
And the seclusion of Golden Core cultivators could easily last a decade or two; Li Shiming and his incarnation Li Yuanba had only been involved in cultivation for just over twenty years.
Great Elder Ling Qin and Li Yuanba exchanged greetings, acknowledging each other.
"Venerable Huike is here!" To Li Yuanba’s surprise, Ancestor Zhan did not proceed to rest, and even Ancestor Lu did not say anything, allowing Ancestor Zhan to stand alongside them in the air as Ancestor Zhan looked into the distance and smiled.
"It is said that Qianye Temple has been having quite a bit of trouble lately!" Ancestor Lu said with a mischievous smile.
"Didn’t you lend a hand? Today you are the host!" Ancestor Zhan pointed at Ancestor Lu and laughed.
It was evident that Ancestor Lu and Ancestor Zhan shared an exceptionally good relationship and did not mind other Nascent Soul Ancestors knowing about their camaraderie.
This situation left Li Yuanba astonished, as even Great Elder Ling Qin was learning of it for the first ti, his eyes showing a hint of astonishnt.
If any other cultivator from the Thousand Illusion Sect had acted this way, they would have imdiately been accused of betraying the sect, but this was a Nascent Soul Ancestor, Great Elder Ling Qin. Even if he had seen it, he could only bury it in his heart.
When Venerable Huike, who was jokingly talked about by the two ancestors, arrived, Ancestor Lu did not say anything unpleasant and smiled as he ca forward to greet him.
Venerable Huike also seed to have forgotten the incident of Ancestor Lu challenging him at his doorstep, and he exchanged greetings with a benign smile on his face and got to know Elder Sword.
Behind Venerable Huike was a Great Arhat, exuding a spiritual power aura like fire, giving off an explosive air.
Naturally, with so many Nascent Soul Ancestors here, even if one were fiery by nature, they were now as calm as lambs.
"Our monastery’s Wisdom Fire, given ti, can grow by interacting more with his peers!" Venerable Huike introduced the fiery Great Arhat, from his tone, Li Yuanba sensed sothing special.
However, Li Yuanba didn’t mind, with his combat strength, he was confident in battling any Great Elder even in human form.
Ancestor Lu called over a Golden Core cultivator and took Venerable Huike and Wisdom Fire Arhat to the resting area.
It was clear from this gesture that the relationship between the Demon Sect Senluo Sect and Qianye Temple was not good, otherwise, they would have had Li Yuanba lead the way.
Next to arrive was Ancestor Lou Song from the Earth Evil Sect, who also brought with him a Great Elder nad Mo Bao.
Although the reply had not yet co, Li Yuanba could see that all who ca with the Nascent Soul Ancestors were Golden Core cultivators of Great Elder Level.
He guessed that if it were not for his being a disciple of Elder Sword and having shown sufficient talent, the Senluo Sect would probably have arranged for a Great Elder to receive them as well.
"Mr. Zuo, this must surely be Master Li, right?" Ancestor Lu stepped forward to greet them upon their arrival, eyeing Li Shiming as he spoke to Elder Zuo.
He and Elder Zuo had fought side by side a few years ago and were very familiar with each other, so there was no need for excessive formalities, and instead, he was more interested in Li Shiming.
"Li Shiming has t Elder Zuo, and t Elder Lu!" Li Shiming said with a smile as he bowed.
"Mr. Li, by accepting our invitation to co here, you have truly honored . If you ever have any trouble, just let know!" Ancestor Lu said with a smile as he returned the bow.
"Mr. Lu, Shiming is a disciple of our sect, what trouble could there be that the Shushan Sect couldn’t solve that you would need to help with?" Elder Zuo was sowhat displeased upon hearing this.
"I have t Mr. Li!" Li Shiming then bowed to Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba smiled and returned the bow.
Rumors of their association had already spread, so they were not too secretive about it.
Given the status of Li Shiming and Li Yuanba, they no longer cared about revealing their connection.
No cultivator knew their biggest secret: they were the sa person.
One was an Alchemy Master from the Righteous Path Shushan Sect, backed by Fan Ancestor, and the other a Golden Core cultivator from the Demon Sect Senluo Sect, backed by Sword Elder and Ancestor Lu, two cultivators seemingly without connection yet the sa person.
Elder Wei Xi, a disciple of Elder Zuo, also ca over to et Li Yuanba. Ancestor Lu, Elder Zuo, Ancestor Zhan, and Sword Elder then started a conversation here.
It was mainly Ancestor Lu introducing two good fellow Daoists to Sword Elder, with the future relationship depending on Sword Elder himself.
However, Sword Elder would eventually leave the Beishu Continent, and this acquaintanceship was still at an early stage; deepening it further was uncertain.
To Li Shiming, it seed strange that a Nascent Soul Ancestor from the Demon Sect appeared to be closer to the Nascent Soul Ancestors from the two major Righteous Path sects.
Conversely, Ancestor Lou Song from the Earth Evil Sect of the sa Demon Sect seed to have a more ordinary relationship with Ancestor Lu.
This fear stemd from the Cultivation Technique of the Earth Evil Sect as no sect appreciated cultivators who absorbed the Earth Evil Power.
"Finally, the last one has arrived. Yin Yang Sect really puts on airs, making us all wait!" Elder Zuo looked into the distance and spoke without any reservation, as he was not the host.
