"Smoke Cloud Junior Sister, who might this be...?"
Ding Hualing looked towards Qin Yang and asked with a smile.
Qin Yang slightly raised his eyebrows. Although Ding Hualing's lips carried a gentle smile that made one feel like they were basking in the warmth of spring, deep within his eyes a faint cold gleam flickered.
Before Smoke Cloud Fairy could reply, Chu Yueyan and Deputy Palace Master Ling Bo descended from the main seat.
"Lord Qin Yang, you haven't returned yet?"
Chu Yueyan looked towards Qin Yang with her charming eyes.
"Hmm, had so matters to discuss with Smoke Cloud."
Qin Yang smiled and nodded.
"You and Smoke Cloud?"
Chu Yueyan's eyes showed a hint of surprise as she glanced at Smoke Cloud Fairy. Her beloved disciple knew the Lord of Wind Ridge Town?
On hearing this, the cold gleam deep in Ding Hualing's eyes intensified, but he concealed it well, almost disappearing in a flash.
"So fellow Daoist Qin also knows Junior Sister Smoke Cloud."
Ding Hualing fixed his gaze on Qin Yang, as if trying to see through the relationship between the two.
"Naturally."
Qin Yang nodded slightly with a light smile.
At this mont, behind Ding Hualing, two elderly n clad in white rune robes, one overweight and the other slender, stepped forward, studying Qin Yang with their gaze.
"Qin Yang? Why does this na sound sowhat familiar?"
The thin-faced elder had a sharp gleam in his eyes.
"Qin Yang."
Ding Hualing murmured softly at this mont, then a keen gleam also flashed through his pupils.
"Young Sect Leader, he is the new Lord of Wind Ridge Town, and that newly risen Danyang Shop is also his."
The slender elder transmitted this ssage to Ding Hualing.
On hearing this, Ding Hualing discretely nodded. His lips still carried a smile, but the cold gleam deep in his eyes intensified.
The Celestial Permanence Comrce Association is renowned throughout the Great Xia Dynasty. Besides the shadow of the royal lineage, the Thousand Talisman Sect also has its presence behind it.
The Thousand Talisman Sect focuses on Talisman Dao. Most disciples within the sect study Talisman Dao, and they produce many talismans each day. The talismans created by the disciples of various levels in the sect are mainly sold through the Celestial Permanence Comrce Association.
However, recently, due to the appearance of the Danyang Shop, the prices of the Level One and Two talismans sold there are quite cheap, barely higher than the cost, causing a significant impact on the talismans sold by the Thousand Talisman Sect through the Celestial Permanence Comrce Association.
Initially, the sect believed that this new shop was rely having a launch with discounted sales, which is usual, so they didn't pay much attention.
But now, it seems they have to be more cautious.
"So fellow Daoist Qin is the owner of the Danyang Shop. Even while in the Royal Capital, I have heard so of your notable reputation."
Ding Hualing looked at Qin Yang with a gentle smile on his lips.
"Hehe, Young Sect Leader Ding is too kind."
Qin Yang chuckled lightly and said.
Regarding the Thousand Talisman Sect, Qin Yang naturally had so understanding. His Danyang Shop selling talismans would inevitably clash with the Thousand Talisman Sect in the future. Unexpectedly, he encountered people from the Thousand Talisman Sect here.
Although the two were smiling while conversing, everyone present could feel a slight difference in atmosphere.
"Lord Qin Yang, Young Sect Leader Ding, please sit down for further discussion."
Chu Yueyan's eyes flickered, glanced at the two, and said.
"Alright."
Upon hearing this, both Qin Yang and Ding Hualing nodded. After all, this was Piaoling Palace's territory, and since Chu Yueyan had spoken, neither would disregard her presence.
After Ding Hualing sat down, his eyes flashed with a cold gleam, glancing at Qin Yang. A re small town lord dared to compete with Thousand Talisman Sect for resources, truly oblivious to his limits!
Nonetheless, this matter was not urgent. A re small town lord wasn't worth much of Ding Young Sect Leader's attention.
Consequently, Ding Hualing no longer looked at Qin Yang.
"Master, why have you summoned Smoke Cloud here?"
Smoke Cloud Fairy looked at Chu Yueyan, inquiring.
Although she had gotten so information from Fei Qian, the specific details were not fully explained by Fei Qian.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yueyan turned her gaze to Ding Hualing.
"It's like this, Junior Sister Smoke Cloud. Yesterday evening, at Moon Jade Lake, the surrounding Power of Space of a cave mansion where a Pill King expert resided beca damaged, revealing that long-concealed island."
Ding Hualing said with a gentle smile.
"Fellow Daoist Ding, may I ask whose relic belonged to that Pill King expert?"
Smoke Cloud Fairy's charming eyes flickered montarily, landing on Ding Hualing.
Upon seeing Smoke Cloud Fairy's gaze, Ding Hualing's smile widened: "Based on our Thousand Talisman Sect's assessnt, that island should be the residence of Spirit Wood Pill King, who enjoyed certain renown in the Celestial South Domain three hundred years ago."
"Spirit Wood Pill King?"
On hearing this, the eyes of Piaoling Palace's people present grew serious, with shock in their eyes.
The old face of Zhao Tai behind Qin Yang also shifted slightly.
Though most present hadn't been born when Spirit Wood Pill King's fa resonated hundreds of years ago, everyone from Piaoling Palace as well as Zhao Tai had heard the legends about him.
"Indeed, the Spirit Wood Pill King who excelled in both alchemy and growing various spirit dicines, as well as nurturing demon beasts."
Seeing the shock on the faces of those present, Ding Hualing said with a smile.
This matter is no longer a secret. After the island appeared, several major forces near the Royal Capital were aware. It likely won't be long before word spreads throughout the Great Xia Dynasty.
Thus, there is nothing to hide now. He rely announced it in advance to win Smoke Cloud Fairy's goodwill.
"The Spirit Wood Pill King enjoyed fa five hundred years ago. He devoted his life to researching alchemy, so his skill in alchemy was extraordinarily high."
"However, regarding where he lived, few knew. Back then, likely no one knew he chose to live in seclusion on an island in Moon Jade Lake."
"This ti, the appearance of his island cave mansion signifies a rare opportunity for us cultivators. Within the relics of his mansion, there must be many unique materials and spirit elixir and treasure dicine."
As Ding Hualing spoke, the light in his pupils could not help but beco much more intense.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yueyan, Deputy Palace Master Ling Bo, and others present had eyes flickering with light.
If they could indeed gain so opportunity in a Pill King expert's relic cave mansion, the value it would offer to a sect is imasurable.
"Thank you for informing us, Smoke Cloud extends her thanks."
Smoke Cloud Fairy gently nodded, her voice ethereal.
"Haha, Junior Sister Smoke Cloud is too courteous."
On hearing this, Ding Hualing laughed, his handso face carrying a smile as gentle as a spring breeze, yet deep within his eyes, he could not hide a touch of possessiveness towards that fairy-like figure.
"Palace Master Chu, Junior Sister Smoke Cloud, with this appearance of Spirit Wood Pill King's island cave mansion at Moon Jade Lake, the major forces from our Great Xia Dynasty, as well as several dynasties such as the Celestial Wolf Dynasty, Fengyue Dynasty, Great Barbarian Dynasty, are all likely to send strong individuals."
Ding Hualing directed his gaze towards the people of Piaoling Palace and said.
