Five days had passed in the blink of an eye. After meditating and nourishing his body, he had finally regained some energy.
Although his eyes still sunk into their sockets, the dark circles were no longer as dark.
He straightened up and got ready to spit out blood again.
He took a deep breath…
He bowed. Spat blood. Lit incense. Summoned.
Luckily he was able to endure it even though he was shaking a little.
Vroom!
The ancestry stone lit up. This time, it glowed brighter. Thick Spiritual Qi rushed in from all directions.
Quickly, it turned into a swirl, increasing the overall intensity of Spiritual Qi at the Linxian Palace. All the disciples benefited from it as it sped up their cultivation. They all turned to look at the ancestral hall in shock.
They could see that the Spiritual Qi surrounding them had condensed into mist, gravitating toward the ancestral hall. The air felt sacred. Flower petals were even falling dreamily from the trees.
The disciples went crazy, their eyes burning with excitement.
“Our ancestor! The Ancestor of the Linxian Palace is coming!”
“An Immortal! An Immortal!”
“We’re finally in touch with the Immortal Land? My Linxian Palace is so cool!”
Inside the ancestral hall, the Spiritual Qi was so dense and petals were falling in the air. There was even a hint of floral fragrance. The ancestry stone was shining so bright that it was hard to open one’s eyes.
The phantom of a noble, elegant woman gradually appeared. There were even some clouds surrounding her. The special effects were on point.
The woman’s eyes were filled with fear. She glanced around coldly and said, “Mengji, is there a problem in the Linxian Palace that made you summon me?”
Yao Mengji, “…”
‘Didn’t you ask me to summon you? You’re so good at acting!
‘Also, didn’t you eat my honey from the Golden Bees five days ago? What’re you doing now? Care to tell me why you’re acting as if nothing happened?
‘I’m not going to lie. Your acting skills will do you good in front of the expert.’
People like Qin Manyun’s lips twitched. It seemed like those of higher cultivation realms and age had some weird ticks.
In comparison, the expert’s ticks on pretending to be an ordinary man seemed rather normal now.
Yao Mengji bit his tongue. “Yes, Mistress. There’s something I’d like to report to you. We met an expert in the Immortal Realm.”
The woman’s face remained unchanged. “Oh? There’s an expert in the Immortal Realm? Tell me about it.”
With that, Yao Mengji told her everything he knew from head to toe.
The more she listened, the more shocked she looked. Finally, she gasped.
She was not pretending. She genuinely gasped from shock.
“This is hard to imagine. So shocking!”
The woman’s face was full of shock. Although she knew a powerful existence appeared in the Immortal Realm, she thought it was just the tip of an iceberg. After listening to what Yao Mengji said, she realized how powerful this existence was!
“A Saint! At least a Heavenly Saint!” Her heart thumped and her face flushed red as her body shivered with excitement.
Since her Immortalization, she had not been able to make any connections with the bigshots. She was surviving on her own, living a sad life. Perhaps this was a turning point for her to live a better life?
Great! She was getting richer!
Yao Mengji saw his Mistress drifting off. He gently coughed and could not help reminding her, “Not long ago, the expert rewarded us with a bottle of honey from the Golden Bees and the egg of a Firefinch Demon.”
“An egg of a Firefinch Demon? That’s so unbelievable! These things are worshipped by the Immortals. They’re rare treasures even in the Immortal Land.” The woman’s tone remained calm and unperturbed as she continued, “Mengji, how does the Firefinch Demon egg look like?”
‘The main point was the honey of the Golden Bees!
‘Being an Immortal doesn’t mean you suddenly have selective hearing!’
Yao Mengji’s face twitched. With that, an egg appeared in his hand. “This.”
The woman waved her hand and the Firefinch Demon egg instantly appeared in front of her. Her pupils dilated while her body shivered. Even her phantom was shaking, signifying how excited she was.
However, she still had to look composed on the surface. She commented calmly, “Good egg! There’s Spiritual Qi spinning and glowing in it. It’s indeed an egg of the Immortal bird. It’s hard to get a hold of such an egg, even for an Immortal like me.”
As she spoke, she had already kept the egg in her bag with a calm face. “This is too precious. It might be unsafe for you to keep it. It’s safer for me to keep it for you.”
Yao Mengji’s face darkened. His lips twitched as he said, “Mistress, I can take care of an egg.”
The woman’s face turned serious. She said, “Nonsense! This isn’t an ordinary egg. You keeping an egg like this is like a three-year-old by the street holding onto a Spiritual Stone. You might get killed for that! As your Mistress, I definitely wouldn’t want such tragedies to happen.”
Yao Mengji’s scalp was itching. He said, “Gu Changqing from the Azure Ville visited the expert with his Grandpa, Gu Yuan. They gave the expert a Firefinch Demon and the expert was very pleased.”
“What?” The woman’s face changed. “The old man Gu Yuan made a move before us? How silly of you! Why didn’t you summon me earlier? Being the first to please the expert is crucial!”
Yao Mengji’s scalp became itchier.
‘Don’t you have any idea why I wasn’t able to summon you?’
The woman waved it off. “Whatever. It’s too late to blame you. We can only try to make up for it.”
Yao Mengji said, “We’ve taken too many rewards from the expert. That’s why I summoned you. I was hoping we could give the expert some treasures.”
“Of course we have to give him some treasures, and it needs to be the finest treasure!” The woman went deep into thought.
She was thinking fast.
She was not doing so good herself. How would she find any treasure?
Many of her treasures were used up when she tried to save her life previously. She was even poorer now compared to her time in the Immortal Land. What could she give?
The most precious thing she had was the fruit, and yet, it was merely an ordinary fruit in the eyes of the expert. Even her descendants looked down on it. How embarrassing!
Wait, where did Gu Yuan find a Firefinch Demon? She had not seen him for so many years. He was doing so well now?
Yao Mengji pestered, “Mistress, I heard the Immortal Land has countless precious treasures. Do you have anything to give the expert?”
“Cough, cough. If it’s precious treasure, I’ll need to put some effort into preparing it. Why would the expert appreciate some ordinary treasure?” the woman said with a solemn face. “We can’t rush these things! Give me some time to prepare it in the Immortal Land. Alright, we’ll call it a day. I have to go now. Bye.”
Instantly, the phantom disappeared and the glow that illuminated the room died off.
“Mistress, Mistress! At least leave us with something!” Yao Mengji called out.
As expected, he did not receive any response.
Instantly, he started to doubt his life.
‘I spat blood and essence to summon you. Now that I’m weak, what do I get in return? You took my Golden Bees honey, and now you’ve taken my egg, too. You didn’t even leave me with a fart! Is that how you steal from your descendant?’
