Ji Yuan watched his departing figure and sighed inwardly.
’I’ve just arrived, and already I’m bidding farewell to another old friend... Cultivation, cultivation.’
Ji Yuan shook his head and walked back inside the house.
With Liu Yuan, the interdiary, leaving the rest of the people exchanged so pleasantries, each finding a reason to disperse.
Just as Ji Yuan was preparing to stand up, he heard the Cyan Furnace Wanderer’s voice inside his mind.
"I heard from Brother Jian that Brother Changshou is quite interested in the Mystical Object, the Ice Fla Lotus?"
Now that Ji Yuan had successfully entered Core Formation, he naturally needed his own title.
With the two continents now interconnected, he didn’t want to expose his title from the Cangluo Continent, so he casually took the na "Changshou Zhenren."
Ji Yuan sat back down.
As for Zhenren Jinghong and Kunyu Zhenren, they left together.
Mr. Talisman did not leave; Ji Yuan guessed that it was the Cyan Furnace Wanderer who had called him to stay.
After everyone else had departed, Ji Yuan replied via ssage, "Indeed, Brother Jian said Brother Qinglu knows about this item?"
The Cyan Furnace Wanderer first glanced at Mr. Talisman, who nodded slightly before activating a talisman that floated in the room.
Only then did the Cyan Furnace Wanderer speak:
"Exactly, while seeking items for alchemy in my early years, I happened to co across a Mystical Object, the Ice Fla Lotus, but at that ti it was not yet mature. I believe it should be about ready now."
"If Brother Changshou urgently needs this item, handing it over to you would not be impossible."
Ji Yuan showed the perfect amount of delight in his expression and imdiately clasped his hands towards the Cyan Furnace Wanderer, "Truly? If this is accomplished, I will surely have significant thanks!"
"Of course it’s true, Brother Changshou is a friend of Brother Jian, how could I deceive you?"
"I dare not, I dare not."
"However, a Tier Three Demon Beast guards the Ice Fla Lotus, and capturing it will take so effort. To be prudent, I’ve invited Mr. Talisman to assist."
After the Cyan Furnace Wanderer spoke, the always composed Mr. Talisman also clasped his hands towards Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan quickly returned the gesture.
"When would Brother Changshou be available? If convenient, we should retrieve it within these days to avoid any unforeseen events." The Cyan Furnace Wanderer suggested.
"Hmm..."
Ji Yuan initially thought about finding soone, spending so Spirit Stones to buy it and saving himself the trouble.
But now the Cyan Furnace Wanderer wants him to go along.
It’s truly a tricky situation.
It was all because Liu Yuan had pulled so strings for this, to get the Ice Fla Lotus; how can he now say... Alas, I’m not going, you fetch it for and I’ll pay you Spirit Stones?
Not to ntion that the Cyan Furnace Wanderer’s cultivation is slightly higher than his, even if they were on the sa level, it wouldn’t be proper to act like this.
To put it plainly, it would be looking down on soone.
"Is Brother Changshou facing any difficulties?"
Mr. Talisman noticed Ji Yuan hadn’t answered imdiately, so he tentatively asked.
"It’s not really a difficulty, it’s just that I’ve just broken through, and don’t even have a Lifebound Magical Treasure yet... I’m truly lacking in combat, afraid I’ll drag you two down."
Ji Yuan stood up and clasped his hands to them, "If it cos to fighting demons, and then needing you two to rescue , it would be counterproductive."
Mr. Talisman wasn’t sure, so he looked over at the Cyan Furnace Wanderer beside him.
The latter stroked his beard and smiled.
"Brother Changshou is overthinking. Last year, I went to take a look, and the Demon Beast is still at the Early-Tier Three, even if it has truly broken through to Mid-Tier Three, with myself and Brother Talisman, there’s no problem."
"The reason for inviting Brother Changshou along was nothing more than to increase our presence, if by chance there’s an incident, they would be intimidated seeing three Core Formation Cultivators."
"I see, then I have no more questions."
The Cyan Furnace Wanderer had spoken up to this point, Ji Yuan naturally couldn’t resolve the matter anymore.
Mr. Talisman then approached Ji Yuan and gently patted his shoulder, smiling:
"When it really cos down to it, Brother Changshou can hide behind us, we can keep you safe."
The Cyan Furnace Wanderer added with a smile, "Indeed, indeed, Brother Talisman’s Turtle Shell Talisman has left many Mid-stage Core Formation Cultivators helpless, it will certainly keep you safe."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan looked seriously at the floating earthy-yellow talisman in the room.
Cultivators who refine talismans into Lifebound Magical Treasures are indeed difficult to deal with.
Because they have many talismans in hand, when fighting, using talismans to counter the enemy consus less of themselves.
Moreover, one never knows what kind of strange talisman they will throw out.
"Don’t listen to this old fellow’s nonsense, it’s simply many friendly cultivators giving face."
Ji Yuan smiled along, he understood that Zhenren Jinghong and Kunyu Zhenren had a good relationship.
While the Cyan Furnace Wanderer is on good terms with Mr. Talisman.
"Then we shall do this, let’s each go back and prepare a bit, et at the East City Gate in three days, how does that sound?"
The Cyan Furnace Wanderer proposed.
"Very good."
"Sure."
"..."
Having agreed on this, the three parted ways.
Ji Yuan returned to his Cave Mansion, first sending a ssage to Mu Xueyao to inform her of the matter. Her imdiate reaction was wanting to join.
But upon thinking it over, Ji Yuan ended up refusing.
This matter does sowhat involve the Cyan Furnace Wanderer’s secret, being able to go already counted as Liu Yuan making an effort.
If he brought soone else along, it’d be rather unreasonable.
"Please help steady the Zhou Family within the city first, and besides, you know my situation, if anything happens, I’d be able to flee faster alone."
"Then... alright."
Although Mu Xueyao was quite unwilling, Ji Yuan made it clear she couldn’t follow, leaving her with no other choice.
