After inviting Ji Yuan into the house and listening to him, Dong Qian finally realized.
"So it was you who issued that task..."
Dong Qian said, sowhat amused, "If I had known, you could have just co directly to , there was no need for this trouble."
"I wasn’t aware before."
Ji Yuan shrugged his hands and laughed helplessly.
"No worries, it’s not too late to know now."
Dong Qian got up to refill Ji Yuan’s tea, smiling lightly, "Speaking of which, we’re both from Zengtou City, but Junior Brother Ji ca to Water Dragon Sect and hasn’t visited yet."
Her rebuke from a mature woman was truly overwhelming for Ji Yuan.
"I didn’t know where Senior Sister Dong’s Cave Mansion was before."
"Well, now that you know, make sure to co often in the future."
Rest assured, after this matter is resolved, I’ll certainly visit often... Ji Yuan quickly nodded, "Absolutely, as long as Senior Sister Dong doesn’t find annoying, I’ll definitely visit frequently in the future."
"Why would I find you annoying? It’s usually quiet here, I’ll be more than happy if you wish to visit."
Dong Qian covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
"By the way, why hasn’t Senior Sister Dong gone to Liancheng Mountain? I heard Brother Han seed to have gone."
Ji Yuan was a bit puzzled; he rembered eting Dong Qian when she seed to be discussing going to the front lines with Han Feiyu.
"As for ."
Dong Qian brushed her hair back behind her ear, revealing her jade-like earlobe.
"I’m really not skilled at magical combat. After joining Water Dragon Sect, I’ve been focusing on alchemy over at the Four Islands, I wouldn’t dare go to a place like the front line."
You’re not skilled at magical combat... Ji Yuan chuckled.
He recalled two instances, both happened when they were at Cloud Rain Marsh.
One was sothing Ji Yuan heard, back when Dong Qian married into the neighboring Taian Square, and shortly after breaking through to late-stage Qi Cultivation, she managed to kill a Sa-tier Cultivator head-on without getting hurt.
The other was sothing Ji Yuan witnessed firsthand.
It was when Dong Qian joined Water Dragon Sect, and she had just completed a beast battle on Mountain Rain Island, waiting to return to Zengtou City.
Even Han Feiyu sustained so minor injuries, but she was completely unhard.
And you say you’re not skilled at magical combat?
Not a word of truth, unlike myself; if I say I’m not skilled at magical combat, I really an it, I’m only good at... killing.
"Alchemy is good, it’s certainly safer to stay within the sect and practice alchemy."
After Ji Yuan finished speaking, he imdiately shifted the topic back.
"I wonder if Senior Sister Dong might have so Illusion Heart Flower? If you do, I’d be willing to exchange Spirit Stones for it."
"Since Junior Brother could publish a task on Thousand chanism Island, you must know sothing about the Illusion Heart Flower’s situation. Had you co half a year earlier, I indeed had so, but now they’ve all flowed to dicine King Valley via the Black Market."
Dong Qian must have truly regarded Ji Yuan as her own, sharing even such details.
"So, from what Senior Sister Dong said... we need to go to the Black Market?"
Ji Yuan asked tentatively.
If he really had to go to the Black Market, Ji Yuan would have to carefully consider it; that place is a lawless, highly dangerous area.
"No, it’s too dangerous there."
Dong Qian shook her head and smiled, "If you were to go there, you wouldn’t need for info."
"What I know is a place where Illusion Heart Flowers grow, it’s one of the sources, where the price can be cheaper and safer."
This is indeed a good place... Ji Yuan pursued, "Where?"
"To the west, within the domain of dicine King Valley, a place nad Old Locust Valley."
Before Ji Yuan spoke, Dong Qian continued, "We’ll pose as Loose Cultivators, spend so Spirit Stones to buy a few flowers; the lure of profit is strong, so will be willing to sell. As long as you don’t need too many, dicine King Valley won’t investigate thoroughly."
Ji Yuan was about to speak but quickly realized sothing.
He looked at the charming lady before him and smiled slightly, "Senior Sister Dong probably obtained Illusion Heart Flowers through this thod, right?"
Dong Qian playfully winked.
"Take a guess."
"I won’t guess."
Ji Yuan shook his head, "Senior Sister, please just tell ."
"If I hadn’t used this thod, I wouldn’t dare ntion it." Dong Qian rolled her eyes, a simple gesture that exuded allure.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan relaxed a little inside.
"It’s just you, Junior Brother; if it were soone else, I wouldn’t share so much."
"Thank you, Senior Sister Dong."
Ji Yuan said sincerely.
It seems coming here openly was indeed the right choice.
"There you go being overly polite again. Coincidentally, I need Illusion Heart Flowers for my alchemy as well, so I’ll accompany Junior Brother on this trip."
Dong Qian’s slightly magnetic voice made Ji Yuan feel as though she intended to lead him on the trip, rather than a re lack of alchemy materials.
Indeed, the ans of a mature woman are nurous...
Though he sighed, Dong Qian’s willingness to guide him was beyond Ji Yuan’s expectations.
Originally, he thought Dong Qian would just give him the location, but unexpectedly she was willing to lead him.
"If that’s the case, then thank you, Senior Sister."
Ji Yuan stood up and gave a respectful salute.
The title for her changed from Dong Senior Sister to Senior Sister.
"Junior Brother, you tend to do too much formal courtesy; alright, go make your preparations, and we’ll depart in an hour."
Since Dong Qian wanted to leave early, Ji Yuan was more than eager to agree.
There wasn’t much preparation needed; Ji Yuan’s Cave Mansion on Chulong Island had nothing except so things for appearances.
However, ti would need to be given for Dong Qian to get ready, so he waited a while after returning.
